Chapter 15 The situation is stalemate
"Everybody did a great job."
Tsukutake coach Kazumi Kawasaki encouraged his players and briefly pointed out some of Shobei's problems.
In just six minutes, the tactics against Xiangbei center Akagi had a good effect. Moreover, this kind of targeting made Kazumi Kawasaki discover more problems in Xiangbei.
With the timeout, Coach Kazumi Kawasaki magnified these issues in front of his players.
"Wu Dai, the winner of this game is yours, don't relax."
Wu Daiyouhe faced the eyes and instructions of the players and coaches, nodded and said, "I will do my best." β
When the whistle blew and the break had passed, the two sides appeared again.
Xiangbei's ball possession, Eiji Suzuki holds the ball.
Off the field, Kawasaki Kazumi looked at Coach Anzai in Xiangbei's position, and a confident smile rose on the corner of her mouth: "Mr. Anzai, how will you let Akagi deal with them next?" β
In the reverie, cheers were heard from the audience.
Akagi's gorilla slam dunk brought the score back and forth to 14:10, with a difference of 4 points.
"Akagi, I have to admit that even compared with Xiangyang and Hainan, he can be called an excellent center. But this game is already in the hands of our Tsukutake. β
Kazumi Kawasaki looked at Akagi on the field, and said to herself without hesitating praise. The first-year students next to him were surprised by the coach's evaluation at this moment.
No, there are people who have the same opinion, and the current Xiangbei wants to win completely depending on the state of Akagi Gangxian.
Seven minutes into the game, Akagi Tsuyoshi hit all three shots and scored 6 points when he was pressed on the inside. Xiangbei did not collapse, and tightly bitten the score of Tsukutake, and Akagi contributed a lot.
However, when the ball was transferred to Jinjiuwu's side, it was when Xiangbei was under the most pressure.
After observation, Fuji found that when Tsukutake was the attacker, he usually relied on No. 9's Takashi Izumi to organize, dribble to pull, try his best to distribute the ball to the air defense players, and then suppress Akagi through the inside line to force the rebound.
When the ball enters the hands of Wu Daiyu, the hit rate of mid-range or long-range shots is higher, and when it enters the hands of Chigoshi Taro, the performance is much inferior. Obviously, the only stable outside line that Tsukutake has is Wu Dai.
This is also a phenomenon that Coach Anthy is aware of.
So, when Wu Daiyuwa held the ball again, Takao and Mu Du surrounded him at the same time!
"What?"
Both Takei and Tsukutake coach Kazumi Kawasaki were surprised by this unexpected scene.
Wu Dai, who held the ball, was sandwiched by a double, and the passing and shooting angles were severely limited.
"Bag clips? Eyeing me? Pass the ball out first. β
Wu Dai, who was caught by a double man, made the first decision and found an opportunity to pass the ball out.
But it was at this time that the third figure, Yukimura Tsuryo rushed out, stretched out his arm to intercept the ball passed by Wu Dai, and launched a fast attack without hesitation.
"What?"
The double bag is a kind of surprise, and this miraculous interception is a kind of shock.
"Oops! Back to defense! Tsukutake's people shouted loudly as they chased Tsuryo Yukimura, who was holding the ball and attacking quickly.
Facing an empty Tsukushi halfcourt, Tsuryo Yukimura's fast-break layup scored easily.
βNiceοΌ Yukimura seniors! β
"Okay, it's 14:12."
"Defend! Defend! β
......
Tsukutake, who was once again the attacker, chose to slow down and try to regain his rhythm.
"It's okay, let's just score one more goal." The point guard and Izumi dribbled slowly across the halfcourt. Although the defeat just now was just around the corner, Tsukutake's players adjusted their mentality in time.
Seeing that the court began to turn into one-on-one marking, Takashi Izumi began to dribble alone to break through Eiji Suzuki in front of him.
I have to say that in this game, Tsukutake's Wazumi Takashi simply completely destroyed Eiji Suzuki in Xiangbei, whether it was his organizational ability as a point guard or his outstanding technical level, he completely compared Eiji Suzuki.
From the perspective of the only one, this is not only a crushing of technology, but also a crushing of intelligence. A few obvious feints, Suzuki can be deceived, isn't it IQ crushing?
It's just that it's useless for Tsukutake's Wazumi Takashi to perform well, he doesn't have the ability to score, so the ball will definitely be distributed, and when the ball is passed to Takeyo again, Takao and Ki Twilight will immediately take a trap approach.
It was the same as in the previous round.
"Again!" Wu Dai gritted his teeth, looked around, and recalled that he had been intercepted before, and he didn't dare to pass rashly this time.
Looking at Wu Dai, Tsukutake and others who were in trouble on the field, Kazumi Kawasaki's expression was finally a little serious.
"Coach Anthy. Use a double bag to block Woody's passes and projections, and then a third person intercepts the ball. That's a really good strategy. β
As a brain on the field, Kazumi Kawasaki has fallen into deep thought.
On the field, Wu Dai's time to hold the ball was about to exceed the limit, and Takashi Izumi ran close to get a safe pass. Seeing that Wu Dai was being watched too tightly and the offensive time was about to run out, Hequan Takashi had no choice but to shoot on his own, and this shot was not an unexpected smashing iron.
"Rebounding!"
Both sides were staring at the bouncing basketball, and first Tsukutake's Sanada took the lead in jumping, and the tall figure was full of eyes. Not to be outdone, Akagi shook the ground in a poor position, a touch of red mixed with a roar.
Akagi, who jumped backwards, jumped higher than Sanada Jean, holding the dangling ball with one hand, and then remade a reshot, landing in front of him with both hands.
Akagi, who was standing firmly, saw the sidelines at a glance and swung the ball hard towards Tsuryo Yukimura, who ran out of the three-point line at the moment.
"Bang!"
This retransmission exploded in Yukimura Tsuryo's hand. And Tsuryo Yukimura, who received the ball, launched a fast attack again.
Unlike the previous round, Tsukutake's return defense this time was more timely, and the three quickly returned to the basket, but Yukimura Tsuryo failed to shoot due to a defensive breakthrough, but failed to score in the net.
It seems a pity that he failed to score, but the situation on the field has changed, and Xiangbei has adapted to Tsu Jiuwu's style to a certain extent, and quickly adjusted and responded accordingly.
This is exactly the guidance given by Coach Anzai during the timeout, as a response plan for Tsukutake's blockade of Akagi Tsuyoshi, Xiangbei chose to block Tsukutake's core scorer, Tomokazu Tsudai.
In the next 5 minutes, Wu Dai's shots immediately plummeted, from 5 shots in the first 5 minutes to 3 shots, and only scored one 3-point goal in the next 5 minutes.
In the 12 minutes of the first half, the score came to 21:20, and Tsukutake only had a slight advantage of 1 point. Also at the same time, Kazumi Kawasaki of Tsukutake called out the first timeout.
Two minutes later, Tsuhisa reappeared after replacing Takashi Izumi with Kenta Mine, a second-year student.
Less than 30 seconds into the game, Kenta Mine, a player who had just been replaced by Takeshi Tsuhisa, hit a direct shot and scored two points for the team very quickly.
At this time, Coach Anzai under the Xiangbei field said to Fujixin next to him: "Fuji, you can prepare to warm up." β
"Really?" Fuji, who was about to lose patience with the game, was like a drought and rain at this moment, and he couldn't stop the expression of joy on his face.
Coach Anthy said: "Before the end of the first half, the score can't be too big by the opponent, no, you go and keep an eye on the opponent's No. 12." By the way, don't foul. β
Fuji, who heard the first half of the sentence, thought that Coach Anzai had strong hopes for him and was about to respond impassionedly, but he was shocked by the last sentence and suffered internal injuries.
"Coach Anthy, there is no need to say the last word."
"Oh, roar, roar!"
At 15 points in the first half, the first-year newcomer and basketball beginner in Xiangbei also appeared!
