Chapter 54: Winning the First Match Easily
58, 59, 60, when the second hand coincided with the minute hand, the referee in the court, Wu Zuo, blew the whistle and threw the basketball into the sky.
Patiently waited for the basketball to reach its highest point, and only when it was a little down did Maki jump hard.
Obviously, although the time to jump was played, the huge advantage in height made Maki easily hold the basketball and send the ball to Dahe's hands.
Taiga took a step before dribbling the ball, and before half court, he threw the ball to the basket.
Yoshino ran to the basket at the whistle and didn't even look at the outcome of the scrum, just in time to run into the restricted area of the Tamba Bridge, he glanced back at the basketball and jumped high, and when the ball arrived, it was when he jumped to the top. Yoshino dunked the basketball and completed the offense with a brilliant open dunk.
Well passed!
Yoshino gave a thumbs up to the river.
Under Suzuki's training, Yoshino's jumping ability has improved greatly compared to before, and Taiga even calculated this, sending a comfortable pass that he didn't even need to adjust after receiving the ball.
The audience didn't know what was going on, but that didn't stop them from appreciating and praising the attack, and cheers rang out immediately.
Suzuki clearly heard someone in the stands behind him shouting "Awesome", and then asked which team was playing such a beautiful attack.
Suzuki sighed secretly, it's a pity, there are not enough reserves, this kind of lightning fast attack, Xiangbei will not play too much today. Before he came on the court, he arranged it so that Dahe could control the rhythm, and if he had the chance, he would try to let Yoshino run alone, because there was only one position in Xiangbei that could be replaced.
Defensively, Suzuki also asked the players not to work too hard and just behave.
However, the strength of this Tamba Bridge is really limited, and Abe almost let the opponent shoot, and the opposing scoring guard Nasu is still inside the three-point line, and a mid-range shot smashes into the neck of the basket.
The rebound was picked up by Maki.
Maki handed the ball to Taiga, and walked behind himself unhurriedly. If nothing happens today, he will have to play for 40 minutes, so it is very important to conserve his strength.
However, Yoshino's height alone is enough for the two insiders who are just over 180cm in Tamba Bridge to drink a pot.
Taiga's sharp pass penetrated the opposition defender's defense and went straight to Yoshino, who was in position on the inside.
Yoshino leaned his back against the opposing center, Nishikawa, turned around and flicked his wrist to shoot from close range.
Offense and defense are once again mutually reinforcing.
Kashiwagi, the diminutive point guard at Tamba Bridge, seems to have never encountered a tall outside defender like Oga, and the passing ball was caught by Oga, who then ran over the poor guy, dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line, and shot directly at the three-point line.
"It's too messy!"
"How can this be?"
"If you don't score this goal, you won't be able to get the rebound back!"
"It's better to make a layup 2 points stable!"
Seeing Dahe's completely unreasonable shot this time, doubts arose, and even the two staff members on the recording table were shaking their heads at each other.
However, the basketball shot by Dahe was like a bird returning to its nest, going straight through the bottom of the net, blocking all doubts.
“Taiga! Taiga! ”
Suzuki heard a small cheering sound in the basketball hall that had become quiet all of a sudden, and when he looked at it, there was a banner hanging on the stand over there, which read "Xiangbei Tiger", and there was a group of girls in Xiangbei uniforms jumping around in the back.
It turned out to be a fan of Taiga, Suzuki smiled and smiled at Momoi next to him: "It turns out that our captain Taiga is so popular!" ”
Momoi sniffed and said disdainfully: "Childish! ”
Suzuki's eyesight is not bad, and when he saw that the girls were quite outstanding, he smiled and said that this is same-sex repulsion, and then returned his attention to the court.
Kashiwagi, the point guard of Tanba Bridge, who had just been cut off by Taiga, was a little afraid to hold the ball, and just after halftime, he gave the ball to his teammate small forward Komai.
However, Komai's speed was not very good, and after going around the outside line, he couldn't find the holes in the defense of Taiga and Yoshino, so he had to pass the ball back to Kashiwagi.
But the basketball came and went, and the players at Tamba Bridge just didn't find a full open spot, and in the end Nasu made a hasty three-no-stick.
Maki served on the bottom line, and Dahe controlled the ball over half the court, and this time the opponent saw that Maki was slow to enter the restricted area, so he let the two inside lines of his side guard Yoshino.
Taiga made a gesture to shoot a three-pointer, causing the opponent to jump up and block, and then threw the ball to Maki, who had just walked into the three-point line.
Maki took another step inside, his arm was lightly relaxed, and he shot in the middle of the shot, and without interference, he scored another 2 points.
The opponent's small forward, Komai, and Yanagisawa are generally only 1.7 meters, and when they came to make up for it, they didn't even cover Maki's sight when they stretched out their hands.
The two sides come and go, and the offense and defense are constantly changing.
Xiangbei's offense today is dominated by Yoshino's pick-and-roll layup under the basket, Maki's mid-range shot near the restricted area, and Dahe's long-range shot near the three-point line.
The three of them have high shooting points, and it is difficult for the players at Tamba Bridge to interfere with them, so Xiangbei's shooting percentage is quite terrifying, and he can score almost every shot.
And the Tamba Bridge side is much more miserable.
Several inside layups were frequently covered, and the outside shots became more and more unreliable, and it was not until the 8th minute that Tamba Bridge got the first score.
At this time, Xiangbei was already leading 23-2.
Suzuki shook his head, he had long known that Tanba Bridge's strength was very poor, but he didn't expect that when the real fight started, the gap was even bigger than he imagined. There were only two main players in Xiangbei on the field, and the defense was also released, but in less than a quarter, a 20-point difference had already been played, and the game entered garbage time early.
The starters of Tamba Bridge are getting more and more frustrated on the field, and the huge difference in strength makes them unable to rise to the fighting spirit of a star and a half. After the fight, he actually began to take the initiative to send mistakes.
Yoshino's back hook under the basket was rubbed by the opponent's power forward Uga when he assisted the defense, and the basketball changed direction, and the bullet went outside the restricted area and was taken by Kashiwagi.
Kashiwagi saw that Taihe was pressing up again, and in a panic, he passed the ball indiscriminately, just to Yanagisawa's hand.
After Yanagisawa received the ball, he looked left and right, and the opponent did not pounce on the defense at all, so he easily adjusted it and added scoring data to his record.
Sending this mistake, not only was Kashiwagi so sad that he was about to cry, but even the rest of the people hung their heads, obviously suffering a lot of blows.
Tanba Bridge's Xinglu supervisor saw that Kashiwagi couldn't play anymore, so he called a timeout and replaced him with a substitute Moriwaki, and then, at the beginning of the second half, he changed all the starters, and the substitutes in the first and second grades bowed their heads and admitted defeat.
At this point, Xiangbei should have replaced the main force and let the substitutes go on the field for exercise.
However, Xiangbei can't change people at all now, and only one Aoki is ready to move off the field, and he can't wait to appear on the stage.
In the second half, Aoki replaced Yoshino, who had performed well in the first half, and stabbed Tanba Bridge with a knife, beating Tamba Bridge to a crush.
Suzuki did not make any adjustments except for Yoshino to rotate Yanagisawa for a break halfway through the second half.
In the end, Xiangbei won with a disparity of 112-24.
