Hakamata Ikuto's three-point shot gave Aiwa College a shot in the arm psychologically. His sudden strength became the end point of Aihe Academy's counterattack in the second half of the event.

I don't know if it's because the players of the academy have opened up, or if the coach has got along, but in the second half of the game, more and more players except for Zhuxingda finally distributed the ball. In the first half, the ball time of Zhu Xingda accounted for at least 60% of the whole team, but in the second half, Zhu Xingda's time of holding the ball was reduced.

Not only Hakamata Ikuto, but Aiwa's big forward Takei also joined the offensive sequence, but his single offensive method was not so efficient. But under the leadership of him and Hakamata, the team is trying to catch up with the score, although slowly, but the rhythm and pace between the players are gradually getting back.

Aihe Academy, which improved its strategy, did cause some trouble to Xiangbei at the beginning, and the scoring rhythm was broken, and the vacancy and leakage once made Xiangbei at a loss.

At this time, Coach Anxi of Xiangbei took the initiative to call a timeout to stabilize the momentum for Xiangbei.

After the pause, the rigorous and speculative Aihe Academy made the deployment adjustments and tactical changes of the Xiangbei team. The middle tail coach of Aihe Academy even took advantage of the timeout to swear that even if Xiangbei adopted a multi-person joint defense package against Zhuxingda, it could not stop Aihe from scoring, and after this time, I believe that Xiangbei will no longer be obsessed with wasting great energy on Zhuxing alone.

This point of view even coincides with basketball reporters such as Yayoi Aida!

But the fact is that in the game after the pause, when Zhu Xingda received the ball again, he once again faced the regional package of three players from Xiangbei, and Xiangbei not only did not change his tactics, but even intensified.

Others' speculation is obviously unpredictable to Coach Anthy's mind, they think too much, and they may think very little. But Mitsuyoshi Anzai's mind couldn't be simpler, he has more trust in the center of his team, and he has more trust in Akagi Tsuyoken!

Whether it is defense under the basket, rebounding and offense, Mitsuyoshi Anzai firmly believes that Akagi Goken will definitely outperform his opponent.

All the tactical arrangements are based on this concept, and they can't even be called any tactics, and he can summarize the guidance of Xiangbei in a few words. Defense, rebounding and offense, that's just three words!

As long as the basket is in Xiangbei's hands, as long as the rebounding ball is in Xiangbei's hands, as long as the stars are limited, the result of the game will not be biased, even if players such as Hakamata and Takei start to score. But compared to the threat brought to Xiangbei by Zhuxingda, this group of people is simply insignificant.

On the court, Miyagi took advantage of the fact that Zhuxing's big attack was blocked, stole the ball while he was unprepared, immediately launched a counterattack, smoothly broke into the Aihe penalty area, and even scored a layup under the defense of the opponent's center, and Xiangbei began to score again.

In the first half, the most dazzling players in Xiangbei were Akagi and Mitsui, and in the second half, Mitsui gradually retreated to the second line, and Akagi even ceased to lead the rhythm of the team, but began to be active by Fuji and Miyagi.

Defensively, Fuji successfully limited the scoring efficiency and number of shots through the support of his teammates, and in the first five minutes of the second half, he did not even score a point. On the offensive end, Fuji was also rejuvenated, stimulated by the performance of the stars in the first half, and scored repeatedly in the early part of the second half.

Xiangbei's intentions were gradually understood by everyone, and they wanted to grab points with Aihe Academy under the condition of spending a lot of manpower to block the Stars University. Although players such as Hakamata will inevitably be missed when defending, Xiangbei has an excellent center like Akagi Goken!

Xiangbei's road to the national competition has been played to this day, and the existence of Akagi Gangxian, the center, is really impossible to ignore, and even on the contrary, he may be the most impressive existence in Xiangbei.

Halfway through the second half, Xiangbei still maintained a lead of about 10 points over Aihe College.

Looking at such a disadvantage, coupled with the decline of Aihe Academy, even those who firmly supported Aihe Academy before the game also sighed, "I'm afraid that this year will end here." ”

Because of Xiangbei's tactics, Aihe Academy even had to be forced to passively fall into the defensive quagmire. Generally speaking, when the stars are big on the court, Aihe Academy will focus the rhythm on the offense because of the offensive ability of the stars, just like they have done before, and will not slow down the attack when they are behind, but will increase the pace of the attack. Normally, after the departure of the stars, Aiwa Academy will adopt a more defensive tactic, and then players like Hakamata Ikuto will temporarily replace the attacking core.

But this is the first time, when Zhuxingda is present, Aihe Academy plays in a defensive formation, and Zhuxingda, who has obvious deficiencies in defense, seems to have a vacuum and estrangement with the other four at this time, and the whole team has become uncoordinated.

If Coach Nakao had the courage to try to replace Zhuxingda earlier, the defensive formation might have some effect, but seeing that the score was about double digits behind, the entire Aiwa Academy was very anxious, and Coach Nakao stubbornly placed his bet on Zhuxingda.

I couldn't help but think of a sentence I had said to Zhuxing during the prefectural competition, and Aiwa was in crisis at that time.

"Stars! You're the most talented and hardworking basketball player I've ever met since I coached! Don't leave regrets, let it go! ”

At the same time, Zhu Xingda also thought of what he had said, "I, Zhu Xingda, must lead Aihe Academy to win the championship, and then dominate the national competition!" ”

Nakao believes that when the team is in crisis, it is necessary to rely on the star players to turn the tide and turn things around!

Among the opponents I met before, it is not that I have not encountered a team that has made Aihe fall into a hard battle, nor has I not encountered a team that has adopted defensive tactics against Zhuxingda, but Aihe Academy can appear on the national stage today because Zhuxingda has led the team to overcome one difficulty after another!

But it's a pity that the opponents that Aihe Academy has encountered before are not enough to compare with Xiangbei today. Even with such a special existence as Zhuxingda, the average quality of players in Xiangbei is definitely higher than that of Aiwa Academy, and just a high-quality center player like Akagi Goken, who is extremely rare even in the national competition, is enough to create a gap, and good players such as Fuji, Mitsui and Miyagi are also players who can become aces in other teams.

From the moment Coach Anzai firmly believes in the team, and Coach Nakao chooses the trump card, the game is already doomed!

The stars are big and strong, and the small bursts in the last five minutes are also very dazzling. However, in the case that the basic quality of the players could not open up the gap and even some weaknesses, in the face of Xiangbei's targeting, Aihe Academy still couldn't win Xiangbei in the end.

In the end, Xiangbei defeated Aihe College 87-81 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the national competition!

In this game, the stars scored 40 points to become the top scorer of the game, and he was the only player in this game to score more than 35 points. Following behind the stars, they are Akagi with 30 points, Fuji with 26 points, and Mitsui with 21 points.

In the top five of the scoring list, three of the four players who scored 20+ points were from Xiangbei, while Ai and Hakamata Yuto, who were fifth on the scoring list, scored only 14 points. Looking at it this way, the reason for the failure of Love and Academy is obviously obvious.

Unlike the troubles and conspiracies that Fengyu brought to Xiangbei, Aihe Academy does have strong strength, but this Xiangbei style is one of the four teams that are not afraid of Aihe.

As for the other three teams, they defeated Luo'an's Hainan Grand Affiliate, Hori's Sanno Industries, and Chang Cheng's Hakata Merchant Affiliated on the same day!

Today, Xiangbei is tied for the top four in the country with these three teams as the biggest dark horse of the year, and two teams from Kanagawa Prefecture occupy half of the top four in the country, which has become a hot topic in the mouths of media reporters.

Someone jokingly asked: "This Xiangbei and Hainan University will not meet in the finals of the national competition, and will stage the Kanagawa Prefecture Championship and Asian Championship again?" ”

Unexpectedly, such a joking sentence caused heated discussions in a small area. No, it's not so much a hot discussion as a ridicule.

Xiangbei and Hainan University Affiliated Association won the next round of the competition and met in the finals? Are you kidding?

Tomorrow, Hainan University and Xiangbei will meet, that is the champion and runner-up team of last year's national competition, Mountain King and Hakata Business University Affiliate!

No one believes that Xiangbei will win the affiliated Boduo Business University! Just like no one would believe that Hainan University will win Shanwang Industry!
