Chapter Seventy-One: Xiangyang in Northern Hunan (7)

It seemed to be pushed to the dominoes, and 3 minutes later, Yanagisawa, who has always been known for his good endurance and tenacity in the team, also appeared to be physically exhausted. He was directly forced by Hiiragi's speed, and his footsteps were unsteady during the chase, and he fell to the ground.

Although Yanagisawa got up quickly and didn't have anything to do, but after he was missing, Xiangbei's defense line was even more porous, and it was directly penetrated by Hiiragi and Tsuchihashi's blocking and dismantling cooperation, and when Hiiragi made a layup, it was completely unblocked.

This goal also brought the difference between the two teams to double digits for the first time in this game.

At this time, it is clear to the audience who don't know much about the ball that Xiangbei lost in this game.

"That's 10 points off! What to do? Momoi grabbed Suzuki's arm and shook it violently, shouting, "Think of a way!" ”

Suzuki only had a wry smile on his face, it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and he didn't necessarily have to pull himself on the field to fight against Honglin - although even now, he was still a good center forward in the amateur field, but he wanted to defend against the oversized Honglin, and he really thought too beautifully.

At this point, all Suzuki can do is to replace Yanagisawa, who has lost his physical strength, with a sand warehouse, and hit wherever he goes!

After Yanagisawa got off the court, Xiangbei had no third-year players on the court, but these junior players had not given up yet, and they were very excited to play, and finally assisted Wu Dai by Shakura, and narrowed the score to 8 points with a quick shot.

At this time, Xiangyang also made personnel adjustments, Hanagata replaced Honglin, Mitsui replaced the high-level, and the staffing was also replaced by a lineup of two second-year and three first-year.

Obviously, when the overall situation has been decided, Coach Anthy chose to let the substitutes come on the field to feel the atmosphere of the official game.

Mitsui is a counter-substitution in this position, while Hanagata is playing as a power forward. For Hotta, the big forward in Xiangbei, this change can be said to have just gone to the wolf in front of him, and the tiger has come to the back door!

Because of the existence of Honglin, Gao Gao and others, there is no shortage of offensive players in Xiangyang's inner line, so Ishii is practicing defense hard and gaining a foothold in the team as a blue-collar worker.

Therefore, in the previous game, the pressure on Hotta was not great, and he still had the strength to pull out to the outside to make up for his teammates and block and dismantle. Although he couldn't score points, he didn't let Tsuchihashi play much on the offensive end.

However, when Hanagata came up, Hotta fell into a dire situation, as if he had faced Captain Maki in the team competition.

Although Hanagata is some distance away from Maki in terms of height, technique, and experience, the difference is not much for Hotta, and he has to jump with all his might to form an effective defense when he jumps Hanagata.

However, the flower shape is not only an option for shooting. Under Coach Anzay's tutelage, he learned to make the most of his height and create more threatening opportunities for his teammates when he couldn't guarantee a score.

In just 6 minutes, Hua Xing scored 4 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, which was brilliant.

In addition, Mitsui also scored, hitting one of two three-pointers to help the team extend the lead to 13 points.

With less than five minutes to go, Suzuki and Coach Anzai made substitutions at the same time.

On the Xiangbei side, the last starter, Endo, came off the court to rest, Shintaro Mizuno went into battle, and Shoyang replaced Yoshinari Hiiragi and Kenji Tsuchihashi, and replaced power forward Shoichi Takano and small forward Mitsumi Nagano, so that the first-year collective mixed experience.

There are only 10 players in total, but 9 of them are first-year raw melon eggs, but this did not make the game any less exciting. Without the pressure of winning or losing, both sides played very openly, and the pace of attack and defense was very fast.

Under the leadership of Ishii, the only sophomore player on the court, Xiangbei once narrowed the difference to within 8 points, but at the critical moment, Mitsui Shou continuously used unreasonable three-point shots to stifle Xiangbei's final counterattack.

40 minutes were played, the score was fixed at 95-84, and Xiangyang won.

The players on the field bowed to each other, and Suzuki and Anzai shook hands off the field.

Coach Anzai said kindly to Suzuki, "Suzuki-kun, you are amazing. To be honest, before the game, I didn't expect that Xiangbei could force Xiangyang to this point. Your players are great and scrappy, which I really appreciate. Especially those newcomers, they all have a lot of potential, and I am optimistic about their future. ”

Suzuki is also a little proud of Coach Anzai's praise, but competitive sports only need the voice of the winner, and as a loser, it is better to be cautious in words and deeds, Suzuki politely said two words, and then said: "Thank you for your compliment." I think if I told them these comments, they would feel better. Now, I'm going to appease them and take my leave. ”

In the final minutes of the game, it's hard to say which side benefits more.

Both Takano and Nagano did not perform as well as they should. Takano made one shot and one rebound, but there was a turnover. Nagano, on the other hand, missed a shot once, but had an assist. Although they have the advantage of height, the performance of the two is not as good as that of Hotta and Shakura, who are in the opposite position.

At the same time, the performance of Hanagata and Fujima has slipped compared to when their senior teammates were present.

In the center position, Hanagata was actually suppressed by Ishii, who was shorter than him, and his thin bamboo pole-like body was not enough to fight against the power center. However, when Hanagata took the initiative to retreat and swapped positions with Takano, Ishii had no way to take him.

Fujima had some physical problems, and he was the only one to play the whole game from start to finish, and it was reasonable that he did not perform as well as Mizuno in the final period.

In an unfavorable situation in all four positions, Mitsui Shou's play became Xiangyang's Dinghai Shen Needle.

In 10 minutes, Mitsui took six shots, hit five balls, scored 14 points, and also picked up three assists. It was his uncontrollable three-point shot that broke Xiangbei's confidence in chasing points.

It seems that Coach Anzay has another headache about how to arrange so many talented players under his command.

Here in Xiangbei, Suzuki found that he had the same troubles after reading the statistics.

Wu Dai also scored 14 points in a small amount of playing time, which is not inferior to Mitsui in terms of scoring efficiency. His three-point stats in this game were a staggering 4-of-4 shooting, but he only scored one of three two-point shots.

Of course, Suzuki also knows that there is a considerable element of luck in Wu Dai's data, at least two three-pointers, which were hovered in the hoop for a long time before entering.

However, after all, it is in, and Suzuki can also see Wu Dai's efforts in three-point shooting.

In the next game, whether the scoring guard should go to Kuroda or go to Takeyo, Suzuki was difficult to decide for a while.
