Chapter 84: The Three Battles of the Mountain King (14)

The game was won, but the generals had an inexplicable feeling, especially Akagi, Mizuno, and Mu Dui, who had been defeated by the Mountain King, and they couldn't believe that they were once such a powerful opponent, and this time they were simply defeated.

Throughout the game, the King of the Mountains did not take a single lead, a detail that is obviously more surprising than the result of the game.

However, only Taiga knew that the ability to achieve this result was inextricably linked to the tactics that he and Suzuki had painstakingly researched for several days in a row.

The mountain king sits on the pair of Okawada and Zebei, which can be called the strongest forward combination in the country, in order to limit them, the two are very brain-broken, but after research, they have never found a way to restrain the two.

So Suzuki came up with an idea, not to think about locking all these two people, but to concentrate on restricting the other players of the Mountain King. Under the guidance of this idea, Suzuki arranged a change of formation for the captain of the mountain king, Fukatsu.

The two teams are attacking each other, so the center forward in the No. 5 position becomes the key point of victory or defeat.

In the center position, Suzuki has a lot of confidence in Akagi's quality. By all accounts, Nobe is no match for Akagi.

Domoto's move to replace Nobe with Kokawada was something Suzuki did not expect before the game, and this change also made Xiangbei's tactics not fully show their power in the first half.

Although Kogawada is better than Akagi in many aspects, his comprehensive ability is still under Akagi, which makes the rhythm of the court have always been controlled by Xiangbei, and as the game progresses, the mountain king is gradually suppressed.

If it weren't for Zebei, who was really unstoppable, Xiangbei might have won the game in the first half.

Coach Domoto of Sanno saw this, and at the same time, in order to regain control of the pace of the game, he put Okawada back in the back line to guard Sakuragi.

Honestly, it's a nice adjustment. Under this adjustment, Xiangbei's performance in several active strong points in the first half, Akagi, Sakuragi and Mizuno were affected to varying degrees.

It's just that what Donmoto didn't expect was that even under the watchful eye of the best defender of the Mountain King, Masashi Kawada, Sakuragi was still able to exert most of his strength and drive all positions in Xiangbei to take turns. What he didn't expect was that due to Kawada's retreat, Zebei began to fully dominate the attack of the Mountain King, instead of taking turns with Kawada in the first half, which weakened Rioda's scoring ability on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also made Zebei's consumption skyrocket. Of course, Rukawa's rapid progress was also beyond his expectations. If it weren't for Rukawa but another person against Zebei, maybe Zebei's physical strength would last until the end of the game, and it might not be impossible.

One person is short-minded, and two are long.

Although the King of the Mountains has always had a Zhuge Liang meeting before the game, and can brainstorm and calculate the opponent with the wisdom of everyone, but in this high-intensity game on this day, there is only one person who really designs tactics. Even if Fukatsu and Kawada played easily in the previous game, they didn't have so much time to study an opponent in Xiangbei.

So, if you really count it, Don Ben didn't lose unjustly.

Dahe just sighed, put the game over, and was busy inquiring about the next opponent in order to arrange the next game as soon as possible.

To his surprise, Suzuki didn't get into work until later than he expected.

The world is drunk, and I am sober.

In this world, only Suzuki knows that until now, Xiangbei, which has been regarded as a strong and powerful all the way, can be regarded as the one that can really boast of surpassing the original world line Anzai teacher.

Without Miyagi Ryota, he still has Shintaro Mizuno. The organization is slightly stronger, the score is better, only the breakthrough is not as good, counting the comprehensive strength, it is still above Miyagi.

Without Mitsui Shou, he recruited Mori Shouzaburo. Although in addition to height, all abilities are inferior, but Sakuragi, who replaces the position and moves back, as a power forward, at least in terms of the richness of the tactical role, is still stronger than the original Sakuragi.

The captain Akagi is stronger than the original one, and he is not scared of Masashi Kawada at all one-on-one, which is the main reason why Kawada wants to squeeze in the front line with Zebei.

Although the cultivation time of Rukawa is much shorter, the impact is also very great. The current Liuchuan is between Zebei and Xiandao in style, not like the original world line, more paranoid and sharp than Zebei, and it makes people worry that it will be too rigid and easy to break.

Of course, if you talk about the Xiangbei lineup, the change that Suzuki is most proud of can only be Sakuragi.

The current Sakuragi is much more gloomy in temperament, not as cheerful as before, or heartless, but as a member of the Xiangbei team, such an ace obviously makes people feel more trustworthy and dependable.

If the biggest hero of the battle with the mountain king is Sakuragi.

In the first half, Sakuragi played against Fukatsu, and the captain of the mountain king had no temper, which also made Coach Domoto make an adjustment that was discussed as a "stupid move" after the game, and transferred Okawada to guard him in the second half.

Counting the staffing of the two teams, just looking at the main force, the king of the mountain is slightly above Xiangbei.

However, Xiangbei has been pressing the king of the mountain, so that the king of the mountain has never been able to turn over, among them, Sakuragi has made great contributions.

It was Sakuragi's outstanding play that made the Sanno offensive organization always poor, and the defense was full of holes.

The king of the mountain, Zebei, scored more than ten points more than Sakuragi, and received a lot more applause on the field than Sakuragi, but the best player in a single game was Sakuragi's. This is not only for the sake of Xiangbei being the winner, but also for a fair evaluation of the role of Sakuragi. Sakuragi can not only score on his own, but also lead his teammates to score, which is exactly what Zebei can't do.

Seeing such a Sakuragi beyond the level of the island country, Suzuki felt infinitely relieved.

Perhaps in the original world line, Sakuragi can reach this level after two or three years of polishing by Coach Anzai, but under Suzuki's tutelage, Sakuragi has come to this level in advance, and his future will be even more limitless.

After the emotion, there is still business. If Xiangbei wants to play the dream they can boast of for a lifetime this year, they need to win two more games.

The four eight-in-four matches started at the same time, but only the first division, the match between Xiangyang and Chengrin, was completed in about time with the battle between Xiangbei and the Mountain King. The two quarterfinals in the second and fourth divisions were dragged on until overtime to determine the winners.

Hakata relied on the play of two ace players, Chiba Ichi and Ken Hoshino, to defeat Toyotama led by Minami Yeol and Minori Kishimoto. Shin Hanamiya was sent off for a technical foul for malicious injury, which became the turning point of the game. However, even if there is no such thing as Flower Palace, Fengyu can't win Hakata. Their run was sharp and lacking variety, and after being withstood by the tenacious Hakata, they could only sit back and watch the lead be worn away by Hakata with the advantage of overall strength.

Xiangbei's opponents in the semifinals were particularly difficult.

Xiude and Lingnan played two overtime games in a row before they barely separated the winner.

Lingnan failed to succeed in meeting with Xiangbei in the second half.

Xiangbei's next opponent is Xiude from Tokyo, who was eliminated by Xiangbei two years ago.

Xiangbei has just finished taking revenge, but it has ushered in the revenge of other teams.
