Chapter 159: The Final Practice Match

In the second half of Xiangbei and Chang Cheng, Mitsui appeared on the stage, and his appearance was both expected by Chang Cheng and unexpected by Chang Cheng. It wasn't until this moment that Chang Cheng found out that in the entire first half, Xiangbei only used two main scorers, and Xiangbei's main scorers were three.

Mitsui's emotions that endured the entire first half were finally completely liberated, and the continuous three-pointers made Chang Cheng's players stunned.

Coach Chang Cheng said to himself uneasily: "Xiangbei can still play like this with us in the first half without Mitsui Shou." ”

Only five minutes after the start of the second half, Xiangbei scored consecutive points with a ferocious attack, taking advantage of Chang Cheng's players' unfamiliarity with Mitsui, who once became the team's offensive core at the beginning of the second half.

In the 7 minutes of the second half, the game entered the rhythm of Xiangbei, and Chang Cheng called a timeout. After the short timeout, Chang Cheng made some restrictions on Mitsui Shou through tactical adjustments, and successfully regained some momentum and scores. But this temporary rejuvenation phenomenon was suppressed in the outbreak of Akagi Goken, Fuji Shinya, and Miyagi Ryota on the inner line of Xiangbei.

In the end, the first practice match between Xiangbei and Chang Cheng ended with Xiangbei scoring 78 points compared to Chang Cheng's 75 points. Fuji scored the highest score in the game, accumulating a whopping 27 points, followed by Tsuneko's Mikoshiba and Xiangbei's Akagi with 25 and 20 points respectively.

After this battle, Chang Cheng's pride in facing Xiangbei before the game was crushed, and they all began to pay attention to Xiangbei, an unknown team from Kanagawa.

Perhaps it was the shame and courage of the first day, and in the practice match on the second day, the Changcheng team burst out with huge energy, and under the leadership of Miko Chai and captain Kuwatian, after a hard battle, they defeated Xiangbei with a one-point lead.

In the practice match on the second day, Fuji was limited enough, Mitsui's physical weakness was also recognized by Tsunekoto, and Akagi on the inside also missed several times in the help defense. In just one day, Chang Cheng's understanding of Xiangbei has reached a higher level, and of course, Xiangbei's understanding of Chang Cheng has gradually deepened in the past two days.

So on the third day, the last practice match between the two sides, after each other's records were one win and one defeat, the importance of this practice match reached an unprecedented height.

In the morning, as soon as the sun rose over the shoreline, Fuji and his party got up and set out from their lodgings, and when the sun was half-hidden among the clouds, they arrived at the gymnasium of Changcheng High School.

"Good morning." As soon as the front foot stepped on the floor of the gymnasium, Fuji saw that Chang Cheng's players were already practicing in the gymnasium.

"What a hard worker!" Fuji smiled and said that after two days of contact, the relationship between the players of the two sides has become very friendly.

Yu Zichai stood up and said: "Everyone won and lost before, of course today's game must be taken seriously, this is the key to deciding which of you or us is the winner." Having said that in the future, today's winner will definitely be our Chang Cheng, so be mentally prepared not to cry your nose at that time! ”

What a stinking speech.

Fuji laughed angrily and said, "Only a weak person will bark like a beast, Miko Chai senpai." ”

"Phew!" Miko Chai pursed his lips.

Without much to say, Fuji and the others quickly changed into their jerseys after they arrived, and used the short time to practice on their own.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the most important third practice match kicked off with the whistle.

Chang Cheng's countermeasures in the third game basically inherited the second game, and the winner's adjustment of tactics naturally lagged behind, just like after Xiangbei won the first game, the strategy of the second game did not change too much.

The Chang Cheng player facing the second is still Kuwata. This is a very stable player, not only experienced in defense, but also bold in attack, Chang Cheng's second scorer, and most importantly, experienced.

But a player like Fuji, Kuwata himself was also the first time he had encountered it, and the first day of the game made him deeply impressed by this junior in the first grade of Xiangbei. Scoring with the skill of the opponent is a rare style of play. The most rare thing is to be able to show the opponent's movements exactly at all, which is not only something that can be done with good physical fitness.

Kuwata feels that this is more indicative of a player's talent, and there is no doubt that Fuji has an amazing talent for basketball.

So in the second game, Chang Cheng increased his defense against Fuji, and today they plan to repeat the old trick.

But in today's game, Fujiichi changed the style of the first two games, reduced his desire for layups, and repeatedly shot from the outside or from the middle, showing that he is not inferior to Mitsui's shooting talent.

When Mitsui and Fuji were on the same court, it was obviously difficult for Tsunekoto to put extra pressure on Fuji on the outside, and they understood that doing so was tantamount to giving Mitsui a chance to make a move.

At the end of the first half, Xiangbei had a five-point lead, which was the first time in the three-day practice match that Xiangbei took the lead in the first half.

At halftime, Coach Chang Cheng had to say something to his players. After losing to Xiangbei on the first day, Chang Cheng's coach no longer did Zhuge Liang after the game, but participated in the game process to help the players formulate strategies.

The Xiangbei of this double-shooter tactic made Chang Cheng feel unprecedentedly tricky.

"With two shooters and Akagi on the inside, this tactic is too brainless." Miko Chai thought.

In fact, Chang Cheng's lineup also has the conditions of double shooters, captain Kuwata and point guard Yufune can both serve as shooters in the team, and Miko Chai's bounce power can compete with Akagi under the basket. But it is difficult for them to deliberately emulate this tactic.

After Yufune showed his ability to shoot from a distance on the first day of the game, he was targeted to death by Miyagi in the later games, Miyagi used his flexibility to compress the defensive distance while trying to steal the ball from Yufuna, as long as he faced Miyagi, Yufune always had to be careful of the ball in his hand.

Compared with the soup ship, Mitsui's situation is much better.

In the second half, Chang Cheng changed their tactics, adopting a more physically demanding full-court staring strategy, and also adjusted the deployment of personnel.

"Heh, did you change your way to defend me?" Fuji glanced at Miko Shiba, who was standing in front of him, and smiled with a little surprise. On the other hand, Mitsui's opposing player was also replaced by Kuwata.

"From now on, I'll keep an eye on you, and you won't want to score another point." Miko Chai said confidently.

The corners of Fuji's mouth twitched, and he said in a very soft voice: "Rukawa Kaede is right, this person is too good at playing tricks. ”

"What did you say?"

"Ah, nothing." Fuji turned around and ran away.

At the beginning of the second half, Fuji looked up at the scoreboard, and the appearance of Haruko suddenly appeared in his eyes, and his eyes were determined to think, "No matter what, I just need to win!" ”
