In the match against Zhengbang the next afternoon, Akagi's absence was so obvious that even the opponent was aware of it.

After all, under normal circumstances, Zhengbang's height is less than 1.9 meters in the center Iwamura, no matter how explosive he is, it is impossible to suppress Kanagawa's first center with a height of two meters.

Shoyang is playing the Kanto Tournament in Tokyo, and it is recognized that his strength is not as good as Akagi's performance in the tournament is obvious to all, and it is definitely a first-class level in the country.

However, after five minutes of play, Akagi's performance was still sluggish, slow to judge, and reckless, and after an unnecessary foul, Suzuki gave up the idea of letting him adjust himself and replaced him with Maori.

Although Akagi's performance was very poor and could almost be regarded as a blowout, Xiangbei still maintained the lead in the score.

In this match, Suzuki arranged the starting XI of Akagi, Takasu, Rukawa, Mizuno and Takeyo. Without Akagi, Takagi showed the rebounding skills he had worked over the years, and he ensured most of the rebounds alone, allowing Takeyo and Rukawa to frequently fire on the outside without any scruples.

Zhengbang's scoring guard Tsukawa is a full-time outside defender, although he is still a first-year, but his defensive skills are quite good, and he soon made Wu Dai a little dumb, but Rukawa, who has stronger running ability, is not limited by Zhengbang's small forward Sakamoto, and a flexible reverse run can run out of position, so that Mizuno can pass the ball over very comfortably.

Rukawa's form was maintained very well, and several seemingly reluctant pull-up jump shots were scored in a row, helping Xiangbei usher in Suzuki's adjustment with a score of 16-17.

Jeongbang's scoring points are concentrated on the third-year duo of center Iwamura Nu and point guard Takahei Kasuga. Iwamura is strong and good at crashing under the basket and forcing shots, while Kasuga is good at breaking through with low hand layups.

After Maori appeared, Iwamura's score was limited at once, although his strength could still knock Maori away, but Maori's second reaction was very fast, and he used his height advantage to reward Iwamura with a big hot pot when he came back.

Mizuno received the ball and passed it back to Takei, who broke through the half court with the ball and passed it to Rukawa before being blocked by Tsugawa.

After Rukawa received the ball, he broke through with a cross step, strode away from Sakamoto, and soared to the top of the speed in two steps, rushed to the Zhengbang basket and dunked with both hands, greatly boosting the morale of his side.

Kasuga insisted on connecting with Iwamura again, but Iwamura was still unable to penetrate Maori's defense and hit the iron.

Takasu pressed Omuro to win the rebound and passed to Mizuno, Xiangbei launched a fast down again, this time Rukawa attracted enough attention, and passed the ball backhand to Wu Dai, who stopped outside the three-point line, Wu Dai shot in the open space and easily hit a three-pointer.

16-22, Xiangbei suddenly opened the difference.

was continuously broken by Xiangbei, which made Zhengbang's Furushima coach very dissatisfied, he stood on the sidelines and yelled a few words, stood with his hands on his waist, and did not sit back, which gave Zhengbang's players a lot of pressure, and the frequency of action suddenly accelerated.

Zhengbang's change made Xiangbei's side a little uncomfortable, but Mizuno, who played the point guard today, is a very experienced player, and after sensing the increase in the opponent's defense, he took the initiative to move closer to Rukawa, the best technique on the court, and beckoned Wu Dai to recycle it and not run too deep.

Under Mizuno's command, Mori and Takasu also stabilized, passed the ball quickly, patiently tore apart Masabang's defense, and finally relied on Mori's mid-range shot to win the round before the offensive time ran out.

Seeing this, Suzuki nodded in satisfaction. Before coming, he inquired that Zhengbang is a team that focuses on defense. Looking at it through the game, it is a bit exaggerated.

It is undeniable that Zhengbang's tactics have made his eyes shine again, but it is still the old saying, no matter how good the tactics are, they must be executed by people, and the lack of ability of the players themselves will make the tight defense collapse after being broken at one point.

At this time, among the five players on the field in Xiangbei, Rukawa is an absolute strong point, and his breakthrough has so far left Sakamoto at a loss; Maori also has an advantage on his side, and his unique style of play on the outside makes Iwamura, who is not tall enough, helpless; And although Kasuga can use sharp breakthroughs to launch a steady stream of attacks, he is also powerless against Mizuno's sharp passes.

What's more, the remaining two players are not fuel-efficient lamps, and their existence makes the three strong points of Xiangbei able to give full play to their respective advantages.

Takasu's rebounding is where Maori dares to retreat to the restricted area to shoot in the middle, and Wu Dai's three-point shooting keeps Rukawa from falling into the bag, and can play one-on-one with his advantages in technique and explosiveness.

At halftime, Xiangbei led 31-48.

After inspecting this set-up, Suzuki made his famous rotation in the second half, while also saving face for the home team.

Mori stayed on the court, but he returned to the power forward position, the center became Hotta, and Rukawa went down to rest with Takassu, Mizuno and Takeyo after a good time, and was replaced by Sakura, Yasuda and Kidu.

As soon as Yasuda came on the court, he immediately showed the gap between him and Mizuno. He is also very stable on the ball and is unlikely to make voluntary mistakes, but this steadiness is based on the shortcomings of slow pace and less threat. Mizuno sometimes makes a lot of dangerous passes that look like their opponents can break off with a little more stretch of their hands for the sake of the threat of passing, and this is not the case with Yasuda.

On the one hand, Yasuda played less, and it was difficult to see this fleeting opportunity; On the other hand, even if Yasuda sees an opportunity, his skill and determination cannot support him to pass this kind of ball.

Fortunately, Suzuki arranged Mu Du and Shakura by Yasuda's side, two jack-of-all-trades swing people who had some bursts, passes, and shots, plus the response of Maori who was liberated from the basket, Xiangbei's offense was a little more difficult than the first half, but it also blossomed everywhere and never let Zhengbang be blocked.

Sakamoto was choked by Rukawa in the first half, and when he met Shakura again in the second half, his physical strength soon decreased significantly.

Coach Furushima noticed this situation and transferred Tsukawa to defend Shakura, who was in shape, and then replaced No. 6 Yoshikai with Mu Twilight.

This substitution was very targeted, which made both Mu Du and Shacang very uncomfortable, and at the same time cut Yasuda from the protection of everyone and faced Haruhi alone.

The absolute gap in strength allowed Yasuda to contribute a number of mistakes in a row, and Zhengbang took the opportunity to play a wave of offensive to narrow the difference to less than 5 points.

Even in the warm-up match, Suzuki didn't want to lose, so he turned to Sakuragi and said, "You go up today to play for a while to organize the striker." Change...... Maori bar! ”
