Chapter 107: The Decisive Battle of Lingnan (12)
With a wave of Dahe's hand, the whole team pressed up, and Lingnan's counterattack was cut off within half time.
It was Kobe who conceded the goal!
When he was trying to cross the water bridge, Endo sneaked up and cut the ball away.
Yoshino immediately started and caught the ball before everyone else. Even if he played almost the whole game, as one of the best people in the Xiangbei team, Yoshino could still run at this time.
Wakamatsu didn't run far after serving, and then retreated to the basket, Yoshino was overshadowed by him before, knowing that this was not an easy newcomer to deal with, and was hesitating, a voice came from his ear, it was Maki who shouted, "I'm coming!" ”
Yoshino immediately passed the ball to Maki and walked to the side himself.
Maki has the ability to shoot in the middle, and immediately put on a posture to shoot after receiving the ball, Wakamatsu had no choice but to leave the basket and stepped forward to block Maki's shot.
With a flick of his wrist, the ball passed through Wakamatsu's side and into Yoshino's hand.
With the help of the combination, Yoshino scored a layup.
The people in the stands analyzed Xiangbei's sudden full-court pressing, and many people thought that with Xiangbei's current staffing, it seemed a little unwise to use this tactic.
The full-court pressing requires all five people in the team to pay a lot of running, and now in Xiangbei, at least Dahe is obviously not moving much, and in addition, Maki looks like he is choking enough, just one time to receive a pass, he is so tired that he holds his knees and gasps.
Tsuda Takashi was shocked and said: "Now in Lingnan, no one can hold the ball!" ”
The newcomers, Watanabe and Kobe, are both excellent role players who are good defensively and are good pieces of the team's puzzle, but they can't do much when it comes to dribbling and organizing offense.
And although Asakawa is a third-year player, he has always played on the inside, and he is the main one who relies on people to deliver cannonballs, and there is no problem with passing it in normal times, but if he is allowed to attack with the ball, he will also be blind.
Lingnan would not have ended up like this, but Tokuda and Kuroko were injured and exited, and the captain Imayoshi couldn't control the ball because of too much consumption, and Lingnan's offense couldn't be played all of a sudden.
Wakamatsu is young after all, lacks game experience, was Maki and Yoshino teamed up in front of the baseline to block the line to Asakawa or Watanabe, wanted to give it to Kobe, and saw that Taiga and Mizuhashi were leaning against him, and finally decided to pass to Imakishi, who was defended by Endo, 5 seconds had passed, and he was blown a violation, and he lost possession of the ball in vain.
Xiangbei quickly drove the ball out, and Mizuhashi received the ball on the outside and threw it, but today his state was really not good, and he didn't score again, and the ball popped up.
Maki didn't jump this time and jammed Wakamatsu to create a chance for Yoshino.
Yoshino outscored Asakawa in this scramble and took the racket out for Taiga first.
Taiga attracts the attention of Imayoshi and Watanabe, and instead of giving Mizuhashi again, the ball gives to Endo, who is left unguarded on the other side. It's not that he doesn't trust Mizubashi, it's because Kobe is guarding against him. Mizuhashi's previous three-point shot was due to the impact of Kobe's defense and failed to shoot.
Endo glanced at the score, there were still 6 points left, if he shot 2 points, it would take 3 times, and if he shot 3 points, he only needed 2 times, so he gritted his teeth and made a decision, dribbling back to outside the three-point line, and shooting three points that he was not good at!
On the bench on the side of the court, Suzuki, Momoi, Miyagawa, Imai and others all held their breath and waited for the result, until the ball accurately fell into the basket before they cheered.
Seeing the ball scored, Endo breathed a sigh of relief and waved his fist excitedly. God pays off, these days, after every training, the 100 three-pointers that have been practiced have not been practiced in vain!
42 seconds!
87-90。
Relying on a round of pressing, Xiangbei won 8 points in a row and brought the score closer to 1 three-pointer again!
The game that was almost killed made waves again!
Just as Dahe and the others were cheering and preparing to make persistent efforts, the game was suspended again.
Coach Taoka recalled the players on the field, and after asking the captain Imayoshi's opinion, he made substitutions.
Small forward Watanabe was replaced with a No. 9 player of his height and a jersey number.
"Tsubasa Morito, what position did he play before, and what characteristics did he have?" Suzuki felt very uncomfortable with this completely unfamiliar player, who couldn't give instructions at all, and had nowhere to go, so he asked the team's "know-it-all" Momoi for help.
Momoi shook his head with a wry smile, looking helpless, and said, "Lingnan's No. 9 also has no appearance record. ”
After Morito came on the field, he switched positions with Kobe and faced Mizuhashi.
Is it a shooting guard, or a point guard?
Suzuki still couldn't tell where he was hitting.
Morito to the bottom line to serve, Wakamatsu and Asakawa ran forward separately, Maki and Yoshino had to follow them, these two have an advantage over the rest of Xiangbei in height, and they both have the ability to go to the basket quickly, in order to prevent being penetrated by a long pass, Xiangbei can only give up the full-court pressing. Of course, the physical strength of the Xiangbei players can't maintain this set of tactics.
Morito was covered by Kobe and dribbled forward.
Mizuhashi stepped forward to defend, but he leaned on his back and turned around at once.
After Morito broke through the water bridge, he quickly distributed the ball to Wakamatsu, who used his strength advantage to squeeze away from Maki with his back and dunk.
Utsumi Rongsaku's eyes lit up, and he praised: "What a beautiful dribble, I didn't expect there to be such a number one person in the Lingnan formation." ”
Kazuya Sato said, "yes, I really didn't expect it. The vision and passing skills are also quite good, and if there is still a hand to shoot, it is almost enough to be a starting position in our team. ”
Arima agreed: "Even if you don't have the ability to shoot, it's enough for our team to start." At least Takayama and Kawai are not as good as him. ”
Kunihiro Nakamura said with a smile: "Just look at these two hands, for us, which team has a position, even if it is Hainan in the top four." It's a pity that he is in Lingnan! ”
Okamoto Shiho sighed: "First Shoichi Imaiyoshi, then Tetsuya Kuroko, Lingnan's guard lineup is too strong, if it weren't for Xiangbei, I'm afraid we wouldn't know that there are still these people in Lingnan!" ”
On the side of Xiangbei, it was Endo who played the point guard, and after he dribbled over half the court, he found that it was the newly arrived Morito. The dribble shook twice, and failed to break through the energetic Morito, and Endo immediately passed the ball to Oga.
Taiga looked at Imakishi, who moved from the point guard position to the small forward position and faced him again, but he still couldn't stand steadily, sneered, and rose up to force his way from his side.
The height of the two is close, but the physique is far from the same, and the physical strength of the same has been exhausted, and Okawate will pass Imayoshi with one fight and face Asakawa.
Asakawa did not seek merit but no fault, and stood firm, stretched out his hands straight up, and did not give Dahe a chance to score three points. He knew that as long as Dahe was only allowed to fight in twos and twos, their chances of winning would exceed ninety percent!
Taiga also knew this, and turned his head to see outside the three-point line, Endo blocked Kobe for Mizuhashi and immediately passed the ball over.
Even if Shuiqiao is not in good shape today, he is still the first blade in Xiangbei to chase points!
