Chapter Forty-Six: The Second Battle of the Round-robin Tournament, Xiangyang (5)
Fortunately, after this goal, Liuchuan's state declined slightly, and in an unfavorable situation, Xiangyang's backwardness did not stretch to an irreparable extent.
However, when Sakuragi suddenly exerted his strength and scored 8 points in a row, Fujima finally couldn't sit still.
10 minutes and 45 seconds.
73-86。
Xiangyang went up and down four times, and the whole main force played.
Suzuki also sent out all his main forces after one round.
Akagi - flower-shaped.
Hotta-Takano.
Rukawa-Nagano.
Mizuno - Fujima.
Sakuragi-Mitsui.
In the last ten minutes, the two teams will fight a decisive battle!
All third-year players are on the floor, Mitsui is the shooting guard, and Fujima is the point guard, which is the position of the two of them when they first became famous, and it is also the arrangement that can best play their strengths. However, if you just treat them as simple quarterbacks and point guards, you will have to suffer.
In this regard, the herdsmen of Hainan have the most right to speak.
At last year's Winter Cup, he partnered his substitute Mazaki at back.
There are no mediocre players in the Hainan team!
Masaki has solid basic skills and a broad vision. In addition to a good pass, all aspects such as defense, breakout, and mid-range shooting are above average level.
In the Xiangbei team at that time, Yasuda was of the same grade and similar type, and Yasuda only had a longer range than him, which was an advantage, and he was inferior to Masaki in all other aspects. is the higher-level Mu Du and Wu Dai, compared to him, they are only good at winning,
However, it is such an excellent player, but in the duel with the Xiangyang Twin Stars, he was completely blown up, and since then he has been in a slump and has not recovered.
No matter how strong Mu's ability is, it is not easy to deal with one of Mitsui and Fujima, and the remaining one can only be faced by Masaki himself.
Mitsui and Fuji Zhen are point guards, but in fact, no matter where they are, they can play well, and no matter what responsibilities they have, they can play well.
Xiangyang and Hainan are also old enemies, and they know each other's strength well.
Mitsui and Fujima knew that Mu was not easy to deal with, so they stared at the position of Masaki.
For a while, Mitsui made a sudden throw, repeatedly opening a gap on Mazaki's side, and slashing points frantically.
Waiting for Mu and Masaki to exchange guards, it turned into Mitsui passing, and Fujima chased and hit Masaki fiercely.
Fujima is a left-hander, and his own technical moves are very different from ordinary people, so that defenders always have to constantly adjust their habitual movements in order to defend smoothly.
And his shot is much faster than the average person, which makes Masaki even more confused.
Fujima faced Masaki, shook continuously, and as soon as there was a gap, it was a three-point shot with a quick shot. Although his outside three-point accuracy is not as good as Mitsui, it is also an extremely good level, and Xiangyang's inside height advantage is huge, and it is not a problem to lose it, so Fuji Zhen shot wildly unscrupulously, only to see Xiangyang's score rise by 3 points and 3 points, and he can raise his score by ten digits in a minute or two.
In desperation, Mu could only change back, first seal the hot Fuji Ma, and let Masaki face Mitsui again.
This time, Mitsui stopped shooting three-pointers, and he began to break through the ball non-stop.
Mazaki's skills are not as good as others, and even his body can't bear the opponent, but he insists on playing until the end of the game with a sense of perseverance.
Hainan lost badly in this game, not only Maesaki, but also Muto and Takasago in the second year, which led to the final key game with Lingnan for the right to qualify for the Winter Cup, and almost lost again.
Kanagawa has produced many strong people on the inside line in recent years, and Takasago was used to being bullied on the inside, and soon came out of the frustration, but Masaki and Muto left a root in their hearts, and their level stagnated, and gradually faded out of the main lineup.
Hainan's Mu and Masaki combination can't stop Mitsui Kato Ma, so can Mizuno and Sakuragi in Xiangbei stop them?
The answer is: Yes!
Mizuno in the third grade, there is one thing that Mazaki can't match, and that is that he is really familiar with Fujima!
Although the overall level is not as good as Fuji Zhen, after three years of fighting, Mizuno knows what moves Fuji Zhen has, and he has already had a countermeasure in his heart.
Passing, just block the most critical one or two lines.
Also as a leader in the point guard position, Mizuno is extremely familiar with the running ability of his teammates, knows which positions are the most uncomfortable for them to defend, and knows which positions are deliberately set aside to break the ball. Each other is a strong team, and there are not many flaws in the most basic defensive formation, which can make the opponent's pass jerky and difficult, even if it is beaten, it can be regarded as a good defense.
Breakthrough, Mizuno is still fearless.
Fujima and him are both technical players, and their physique is much stronger than the average student, but they are only average in basketball. It is basically impossible to force people through outbursts, and it is even more thankless to want to pass people through rhythm changes. Besides, even if you rush through, what can you do?
The interior line of the two teams is a giant of 1.9 to 2 meters, and there is no time to adjust the mid-range shot, the rhythm is just right, and the risk of making a layup is too great, in other words, it is necessary to divide the ball and pass the ball to the hands of the forward teammates who are sure to score.
In this way, a breakthrough is still a choice to get twice the result with half the effort.
As for shooting, Mizuno was straightforward in his welcome.
Having a good point guard make his shot from the perimeter his first choice is a huge success for defenders, regardless of the outcome.
As for the transposition of Mitsui and Fujima, Mizuno is still fearless.
The basketball foundation of most of the star players who can call for wind and rain in colleges and universities was laid in the middle school stage, and Mitsui's closest comrade-in-arms when he was in the country was Mizuno.
Two years of rustiness are not enough to erase the familiarity that has been cultivated between the two from their beginner days.
After Fujima came on the court, in a few rounds, he made 4 shots, two of which were three-pointers, and scored a total of 5 points. Six passes were made, half of which turned into assists, which converted into seven points. It's not that efficient.
However, Xiangyang, who played in the third grade, did not take advantage of the back line, but he improved in the other two places.
One, after having the two points of Fujima and Mitsui, their offense began to flow smoothly, and they could complete an attack in just over 10 seconds on average.
The other is that Xiangyang's defensive intensity has increased a lot, making Xiangbei's offense much more difficult than before, and even Sakuragi has a three-point shot from the outside and failed to shoot. At the same time, Xiangyang regained the advantage in the defense of rebounding. Hanagata, Takano, and Nagano took turns to attack the inside line formed by Akagi and Hotta, two people blocked people, and one person rushed to grab, and the success rate was very high.
Rukawa wanted to help, tried once, but didn't succeed. His body was thinner and he had no advantage in physical work.
Sakuragi saw that the inside line was tight, came to support, and took a rebound from Nagano's head, but another time he failed to succeed, the ball went to the outside, Mitsui was unguarded, and easily used a three-pointer to pull the difference back to within 10 points.
7 minutes 02 seconds.
87-96。
