Xiangbei put on a double point guard, and the Mountain King was not to be outdone and made adjustments to the starting lineup used in the previous two venues.

All along, rookie Mikio Kawada, who only appeared in the second half, was placed in the starting lineup, standing next to his brother Masashi Kawada.

Suzuki glanced at the coach of the Mountain King, and said secretly: "Domoto, I admit that Kokawada has infinite potential, and his future achievements may be able to catch up with Atsushi Shihara, but after all, he is only in the first grade!" With his current athleticism, can he catch up with our team's Akagi?

In Suzuki's arrangement, Akagi is a very important scoring point for Xiangbei on the inside. The original inside line of the Mountain King was a twin tower of two center forwards. Kawada has a well-rounded skill set and is good both offensively and defensively, but he is slightly inferior in height and needs the height of Nobe to be responsible for rebounding. The two center forwards, one of whom is technical and the other is powerful, complement each other and are the No. 1 interior combination in the country.

However, in the face of Kanagawa's first center Akagi Goken, whether it is Okawada or Nobe, the two have weaknesses one-on-one and cannot limit Akagi's play, so Domoto put Kokawada, the tallest in this IH, on the court to play against Akagi, and let Okawada assist next to him, hoping that at least on the inside, Sanno can not fall behind.

However, the jump ball was played between Akagi and Oeda. Kawada's body is too heavy to jump.

Akagi and Kawada stand opposite each other, and the two faces are extremely similar, and they look at Kawada, who has a fat face next to them, as if they should be brothers.

As the basketball thrown by the referee rose to the highest point, the pair of tall centers who "looked like brothers" shouted in unison, tried their best to get rid of gravity, and reached out to grab the orange.

Okawada is worthy of being a defender, and his vertical bounce is better than Akagi's, but Akagi has an innate advantage in height and arm span, and this ball was slapped by Akagi on Sakuragi's head.

Fukatsu watched with some helplessness as Sakuragi raised his hand on his head to catch the ball. Generally speaking, the last thing he is afraid of is a tall point guard, but now looking at Sakuragi in his opposite position, Fukatsu suddenly feels that he doesn't know what to do. "That's tall! The real person is more troublesome than it looks in the video! Letting go of the half-step stretch arm to prevent Sakuragi's possible breakthrough, Fukatsu began to complain.

Sakuragi, however, ignored Fukatsu's defense, waved his hand from the top of his head, and sent the ball to Rukawa who was running. Although Sakuragi's information was 195cm when he signed up, this is the spring information, and Suzuki helped him measure his height before the race, and it was already 197cm. This is a height that is difficult for most center forwards in the island country to reach, but it is no wonder that Fukatsu is out of shape by playing the No. 1 position with the shortest average height.

Rukawa received the ball, dribbled a step, changed direction and wiped to the middle, without any luck, the mountain king's ace firmly followed him, not letting him continue to get close to the basket.

In the past, Liuchuan might pause at this time, and then suddenly start, trying to get rid of Zebei with his amazing explosive power. It's just that after being taught a lesson by Taihe, he understands that this way of going it alone is not very efficient for the aces of the top level in the country, so he pushes the ball and sends the ball to Mizuno who is inserted in the other wing.

Mizuno's speed was not his strong point, and he was soon caught up by Satoshi Ichinokura, another defender of the Mountain King. However, even if Ichinokura is known as the No. 1 defensive player in the country, he can't easily cut off the ball in Mizuno's hand.

Mizuno changed hands behind his back, dribbled the ball in a safe place, observed it, and passed it to Sakuragi.

Sakuragi motioned for Mori to go out, and Kawada knew that Mori had a good mid-range shot, so he had to leave the basket and leave Akagi alone to defend himself.

As soon as Kawada left, Akagi immediately felt that the air around him was half relaxed, he pressed his left shoulder against Kawada, and then flexibly half-turned, stretched out his right hand to ask Sakuragi for the ball.

As soon as Akagi's movement was made, the ball had already flown over, and he didn't need to pause, he continued to turn, changed his posture to a face frame, and then stretched out his hand holding the ball, making a gesture to lower his hand and make a layup.

Kawada immediately tensed up, took a half-step to the basket, and covered the ball with his right hand.

Akagi closed his hand, turned his body around, turned his back to Kogawada, and then threw it gently.

Kogawada's center of gravity moved, and he couldn't go back, and his left hand barely went to cover, but where was the time.

0-2。 Xiangbei took the lead.

"I'm sorry." Kogawada bowed his head and apologized to his brother.

"It's good to know what's wrong." Okawada replied to him flatly.

A teammate for many years, Fukatsu knew exactly what Okawada had and knew that he was going to fight back for his younger brother, so instead of passing the ball to Zebei, who was running, he bounced the ball to Okawada.

Okawada took the ball, leaned back, and found that Maori's defense was not as loose as he thought, so he changed his play, passed the ball to Ichinokura, and then ran outside the restricted area to respond.

Ichinokura returned the ball to Ookada, who glanced at the position of the basket and half-turned to make a jumper.

Maori couldn't catch up, and he dodged half of his body, and failed to completely seal the angle.

The basketball flies from Maori's left-hand side to the basket.

Brush! Basketball in the bag.

Kawada makes a bodybuilder pose and demonstrates to Akagi.

Akagi glanced at him lightly and asked Maori, "You are slow to keep up with this ball." ”

Maori rubbed his chest and said, "This guy is a monster too." The strength is so great, the muscles are so hard, and the feel is so good. ”

Everyone has seen a lot of big men who can shoot, but in order to ensure the feel, no one will train their muscles very well.

Māori herself is a case in point. Although he plays on the inside, he is always a little lacking in confrontation. It's not that he can't add strength, but he deliberately collects it in order to ensure flexibility.

There are also opposite examples, Hainan's shepherd gentry sacrificed his long-range investment for the sake of confrontation ability. This makes his breakthrough ball sharper, but it also makes Hainan have to have a scoring guard with long-range shooting ability next to him, whether it is good or bad, only they know.

There is also a person in the Xiangbei team who has the ability to fight and is very accurate in the middle and long shots, and that is Sakuragi. However, the reason why Sakuragi was able to do this was mainly due to his innate advantage of being a mixed-race child, without this, even if he trained hard, the three-point shooting rate would have to drop by two or three percent.

And it is really not easy to enter such a large river field, pure island country blood, to be able to practice to this point.

However, admiration is admiration, and the king of the mountain is still an opponent that must be defeated.

Xiangbei's counterattack was very compact, most of them were still in the Xiangbei half, but the ball had already flown over the middle circle.

The arrow of Xiangbei's counterattack is naturally Rukawa, and before Akagi on the bottom line has come out with the ball, he has already turned around and started running.

Xiangbei's dual point guards today have an obvious advantage over the two guards of the Mountain King, that is, height. Sakuragi is 20 centimeters taller than Fukatsu, while Mizuno is almost 10 centimeters taller than Ichinokura, which makes it easier for them to send the top long pass.

The king of the mountains didn't expect Xiangbei's counterattack to come so quickly, and the defense line was directly penetrated, allowing Rukawa to rush to the basket after receiving the ball and dunk to score.
