Everyone can see that the biggest contributor to this goal is Maki who assisted, and Yanagisawa who scored the goal is actually not difficult.

Suzuki, however, has a different view.

Without scoring two goals in a row, Yanagisawa is under a lot of psychological pressure. He's not a very talented player, and his self-confidence is actually lacking. For two years in a row, he had to play against all the super forwards in the county, and he played all the defensive duties.

That is, this year, the team has added a number of good players in a row, which has stimulated Yanagisawa's all-round characteristics in terms of technology and allowed him to play in attack.

Suzuki was very afraid that Yanagisawa would lose his already little self-confidence because of continuous misses, and re-limit himself to the state of being only defensive.

For a player like Yanagisawa, it is harder to overcome himself than to defeat his opponent.

Now Yanagisawa withstood the pressure and scored, but Suzuki breathed a sigh of relief off the court, confirming that Yanagisawa's competitive form had returned to normal and no longer planned to replace him now.

Xiangbei stumbled on the offensive end, and there was no good way to take the mountain king on the defensive end.

The Mountain Kings are not the kind of team that attacks like crazy, and their offense is based on a solid defense. Once there is a chance to break the ball, they are unique in the rhythm of the transition between attack and defense, and only then will several players with offensive expertise show their fangs and strike a lethal blow.

Once the fast attack fails and turns to positional warfare, the Mountain King's attack becomes jerky, but they also have a sharp weapon to break the defense in positional warfare.

One of them is the shooting of shooting guard Ice Room from the outside.

This soft-looking ace player, his height and range are not as good as Midorima, and his breakthrough is not as good as Xiangyang's high-level and Mitsui in this position, but his virtual and real feints are incomparable to these people.

After a month of intensive training, Kuroda's single defense ability is much better than the original, but the previous goal was still easily shaken away by the ice room to score.

Now, under Kuroda's physical entanglement, it is not easy for the ice room to catch the ball, but Hamada has another passing option, which is to pull out the center under the basket.

Akagi subconsciously followed, but instead of leaving the ball in his hand, the hole water came out as soon as it was dipped and given to Naruse who was wandering aside.

Everyone is in position, and Naruse's threat is not as great as in fast attacks and counterattacks. Although his bounce is good, he is still easy to cover in front of the inside line who is more than 1.9 meters tall.

This is also the reason why Coach Domoto rushed to recruit Zebei with similar technical characteristics into the team in advance.

Although Zebei is also a breakthrough type, his mid-range shot is not bad, and he is taller and has an advantage in defense.

However, as a sophomore, Naruse can beat his predecessor Ishizuka and occupy the position of the main small forward in the team, obviously it is impossible to make no contribution at all in the positional battle.

Naruse's ability to find flaws in his opponent's formation in sports is quite good, and he is not worse than point guard Hamada.

It's just that his personal desire to attack is too strong, when he controls the ball, he just thinks about breaking through the offense with the ball, and he doesn't think of passing the ball if he doesn't bring the ball to the chase behind him, and it is simply difficult to be qualified for the position of point guard, otherwise the lineup of the King of the Mountain will be more reasonable.

But at this time, the basket is crowded with people, obviously it is not a wise choice to rush in after receiving the ball, Naruse always has this tactical literacy, and after receiving the ball, he directly faced the running route of the hole water, and pushed the ball back.

Xueshui turned around and ran back, got rid of Akagi, and directly jumped to the basket in one step, scoring 2 points in the most effortless way.

Akagi hung his head and said, "My bad." "In the center, Akagi's footsteps are relatively flexible, but when he encounters the alternative of cave water, he finds that he is still far behind.

Maki patted him on the shoulder and said, "Next time he comes out, I'll defend it, and you stay under the basket to watch out for their big forward." ”

Akagi nodded, obeying Maki's arrangement.

In the next ten minutes of the game, the two teams of Shanwang and Xiangbei played very anxiously, and the scores rose alternately, no matter which team they were, they could not stretch the difference beyond 3 points.

Xiangbei's offense played very badly, Kuroda was basically seen to death, except for the three points after the opening, he only scored 3 shots, and the rest were either covered by the ice room, or under his interference, he missed his head, and even had three non-sticks.

Yanagisawa, the other leading scorer, was also quite average, although he didn't eat hot pot, but under Naruse's defense, his shooting percentage was also low, and he also failed to score double-doubles.

All the offensive pressure was piled up on the captain Maki.

Maki's performance was the only bright spot in the first half of Xiangbei, he was in good shape, his hand was hot, and the wild border defense was very desperate, but he was still beaten by him, even if Hamada came over to clip the defense, it didn't play much role.

It's just that no matter how much Maki breaks out, it is impossible for one person to compete with the entire team of the Mountain King, and there will always be times when he misses.

At the end of the first half, the score was 36-33, and Xiangbei trailed by 3 points.

Xiangbei's offense didn't play well, but they finally delivered a good answer in defense. 3 blocks and 2 steals, forcibly curbed the momentum of the mountain king's rising points, and failed to shake off the dust of Xiangbei.

Nobe is a good hand at grabbing rebounds, and he won 4 by himself, compared to the sum of the two on the Xiangbei side of Maki and Akagi, but the lack of experience also makes him sometimes don't know how to play, and the rhythm of the action with the ball is a little sluggish, becoming the focus of Xiangbei's attention.

The two broken balls in Xiangbei are related to the wild side. One time he grabbed a rebound and was stolen by Endo, while the other time he was forced to steal the ball and threw the ball to the besieged Hamada, causing Hamada to intercept the ball when he came out again.

Overall, Nobe's performance can be described as a combination of merits and demerits, which played a role and paid the price for his immaturity.

However, the king of the mountain has the Dinghaishen Needle Ice Room, and the situation has been very stable. Xiangbei once used the play of Maki in the middle of the game to have signs of momentum and overtook the score, but was quickly extinguished by a three-point shot from the ice room.

In the entire first half, Bingmuro alone scored 18 points, which accounted for exactly 50% of the score of the entire team of Sanno. In the first half, Himuro made 8 of 9 shots and only missed one three-pointer, which can be said to have completely restrained Kuroda on the opposite side.

Kuroda fought hard, but the difference in strength between the two was too big, and they were not on the same level at all, and they could only swallow the bitter fruit of being beaten.

After the game, Suzuki simply comforted them and let them all go to rest.

In the first half, Xiangbei scored a lot less than usual, but because he couldn't control the situation, he paid a lot of physical strength. Maki was clearly playing in the final minutes of the first half, and he stayed on the defensive end just to be able to hold on for a little longer. This is also an important reason why Xiangbei fell into the disadvantage in rebounding today.
