Chapter 262: Substituted

After the substitution of the Japanese men's basketball team, Ryumasa was forced to take on the team's offensive responsibility. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Such a difficult situation became more and more serious after Kota Mimori smashed the iron with two consecutive shots.

The only fortunate thing is that Long Zheng's shooting percentage is too high, and the Bulls don't dare to foul Long Zheng, allowing Long Zheng to get a free throw opportunity.

Minutes and seconds passed, and halfway through the third quarter, Kozo Yano collapsed with a cramp during a scramble for a rebound and was forced to leave the court.

After the team doctor diagnosed, Kozo Yano's cramps and fell to the ground were just a normal reaction to excessive physical exhaustion, and as long as he rested moderately, he could recover.

However, for the sake of Yano's health, he will not be able to participate in the fourth game even two days later.

......

Shinnosuke Kishimoto's injury and Kozo Yano's cramps are a wake-up call for Ryumasa.

After all, players are not machines, they have physiological limits. In the heat of competition, players who are at their physiological limits are extremely susceptible to injury.

Because of race, the physical endurance of Japanese players is indeed much weaker than that of Bull players.

Shinnosuke Kishimoto and Kozo Yano, as the absolute main force of the Japanese men's basketball team, participated in two high-intensity games in a row, coupled with the fatigue of running back and forth, their bodies have been under high pressure, and the unexpected situation in the game can be explained.

The Japan Basketball Association is the main organizer of the tournament and is the schedule of the series.

Long Zheng couldn't understand the basis for the arrangement of the Japanese Basketball Association's seven-day four-game game. The Bulls' itinerary may be one thing, but the more important thing should be the economic interest.

......

Losing two generals in a row, the momentum of the Japanese men's basketball team suffered a devastating blow.

No. 5 Hirosuke Chizawa, No. 6 Kota Mimori, No. 9 Nishida Suke, No. 10 Ryumasa, and No. 14 Ayumi Tomimatsu, the five of them tried their best to support the team to continue to move forward, and did their best to delay the team's collapse.

What should come will come eventually.

The fourth quarter had just begun, and Chi Ze Guangzhu had no choice but to leave the game when his physical strength bottomed out. With the fall of Chi Ze Hirosuke, the Japanese men's basketball team completely collapsed.

After the collapse of the Japanese men's basketball team, the pressure on the defensive end of the Bulls team dropped sharply, and in order to limit the only point of attack of the Japanese men's basketball team -- Long Zheng, the Bulls adopted a three-man trap tactic against Long Zheng.

In addition to Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan, who are still sticking to the defense of Long Zheng, the Bulls' point guard roams around Long Zheng, and as long as Long Zheng receives the ball, the three-man package is immediately formed.

With the collapse of the team, except for Ryumasa, who maintained the "Celestial Moment", the shooting rate of other Japanese players fell off a cliff, and Ryuzheng's many accurate passes and assists were squandered by his teammates, and the score was getting bigger and bigger.

In the last five minutes of the game, the score of the two teams was 62:77, and the difference between the two teams widened to 15 points.

At this time, Long Zheng, who was severely depleted by his physical strength, faced a dilemma.

Either work hard and continue to open the second phase of the "Moment of the Gods", break through the three-man package of the Bulls, attack the city for the team, and lead everyone to launch the last wave of counterattacks.

If so, the Japanese men's basketball team may still have hope of turning defeat into victory, but Ryumasa is also in danger of injury. Shinnosuke Kishimoto's injuries are vividly visible, and there is no room for Ryumasa to be careless.

Either maintain the "Moment of the Gods", with Long Zheng's current physical reserves, it is enough to support him to complete the next matches.

However, in this way, Long Zheng can't impact the Bulls' three-man bag at all, and there is only one possibility of losing this game.

......

Ryumasa is still struggling, but head coach Yusaku Ozawa has made substitution adjustments. Scoring guard Ryumasa and point guard Suo Nishida went off the court at the same time, and the two were replaced by Reita Ito and Taiya Nishino.

Yusaku Ozawa's substitution adjustment was too abrupt and there was no warning beforehand.

The TV camera captured Ryu-jung's ignorant expression as he was substituted.

It's not that I don't understand, but the world is getting too fast, slowly coming down, and this sentence flashed inexplicably in Long Zheng's mind.

......

Six hours ago, in a hotel in Yokohama City, the Japan Basketball Association held an emergency meeting.

Interim President Yataro Ando, Minister of External Relations Masao Yamashita, Second Vice President, Minister of Administration, Minister of Referees, and Yusaku Ozawa, head coach of the Japanese men's basketball team, who had just arrived in Yokohama.

As senior leaders of the basketball association, several people are not ignorant of basketball.

The seven-day, four-game game that was formulated at the beginning was actually the product of the compromise of various forces within the Basketball Association.

The first race will be held in Tokyo on September 12 and the second race will be held in Yokohama City on September 14. After two games, the Bulls returned to the United States after their trip to Japan.

This was the original plan of the Basketball Association, and the reason why it was arranged in Tokyo and Yokohama was for good reason.

As the capital of Japan and the most populous city in Japan, it is no surprise that the first tournament will be held in Tokyo.

The second game was played in Yokohama City, firstly, because the distance between Tokyo and Yokohama City is very close, which can reduce the hard work of the players traveling between the two places, and secondly, because Yokohama City is the hometown of Ryumasa, and the venue of the game is in Yokohama City, which means to show favor to Ryumasa.

Who knows, when President Kagawa Kiriri threw out the competition schedule, he was unanimously opposed by all but the Kanto faction.

The second vice president, the head of administration, the head of the organization department, Shinnosuke Okamoto, and the head of the referee team, followed behind the first vice chairman, Yasunari Hatoyama, and clearly expressed their opposition and expressed their own interests.

Tournaments in Tokyo are indispensable, and tournaments in Yokohama can be held as well, but the Basketball Association must take into account the demands of other regions.

In this way, there are four races in seven days.

When the seven-day, four-game game was formulated, the Basketball Association had the intention of abandoning the fourth game in Nagoya. In their vision, the players had already worked hard in the fourth game, and it would be a matter of time.

Who knew that the successive events of Ryumasa's refusal to participate in the second game led to the rout of the Japanese men's basketball team, as well as the Nagoya Basketball Association ticketing scandal, which made the Japanese Basketball Association and the series with the Bulls stand on the cusp of public opinion.

"In the third race held in Yokohama, Ryumasa is confirmed to participate; Whether or not to play in the fourth match in Nagoya will depend on Ryumasa's physical condition. ”

Yusaku Ozawa's words at the post-match press conference had a disastrous impact on ticket sales in Nagoya.

If Ryumasa really runs out of energy in the third game and can't participate in the fourth game in Nagoya, the reputation of the Japan Basketball Association will really be bad under the premise that the ticketing scandal continues to ferment.

In order to prevent this from happening, the headquarters of the Japan Basketball Association held an emergency meeting in Yokohama and invited the head coach of the Japanese men's basketball team, Yusaku Ozawa, to attend.

There was only one topic on the agenda of the meeting: how to reasonably arrange Ryumasa's physical strength in the third game to avoid Ryumasa's injury, and at the same time, Ryumasa had spare energy to participate in the fourth race held in Nagoya.

At the end of the meeting, Yusaku Ozawa received instructions from the Japan Basketball Association: as long as the third game is not too ugly, Long Zheng can be replaced at the appropriate time.

Anyway, with Tokyo's narrow victory as capital, the series between the Japanese men's basketball team and the Bulls has already reached the predetermined goal.

The key now is how to operate in order for the Japanese men's basketball team to finish the remaining two games safely and smoothly through this difficult period.

......

All this flashed through his mind, and Yusaku Ozawa's eyes were firmly fixed on the arena. (To be continued.) )
