Half of the credit for this three points should be attributed to Sakuragi, who can still pass the ball secretly under the bag, and the rest will be divided into half to Shakura, and finally Yasuda's.

However, the Xiangbei players on the sidelines are all applauding Yasuda, who is difficult to play once.

Even Suzuki bowed slightly, expressing satisfaction with his performance.

It's harder to be a substitute for a strong team than a weak team.

The weak team has no pursuit, or the heart is higher than the sky and the fate is thinner than the paper, in short, no matter what the game looks like, it is also the main thing, and most of the substitutes are made up, and they don't care if they sit on the bench.

But under the pressure of results, strong teams must select excellent players to the main selection, and the twelve places are precious, where is there room for people to make up the numbers?

For example, in Xiangbei, when Suzuki first took over, three first-year newcomers filled the registration list, and several of them never played in a slightly important competition.

In the past two years, although the results are not satisfactory, the team's foundation is still being consolidated step by step, and the requirements for the selection of personnel have been repeatedly improved.

As for this year, every selected player was selected by Suzuki after careful consideration, and among the unsuccessful members, there are also many who can play the main role in other schools. And among the players who have become the main force, even the few who are at the bottom of the strength have their usefulness.

Yasuda, as a point guard, is actually a little unqualified, and his ability to pass the ball is weak, which is why Suzuki marked him as C- in his small book. However, Yasuda, who is also a player in the C-file, has a lot more opportunities to play than Mito, who is also a point guard. The reason for this is that while Yasuda is acting as a point guard, he can also use his relatively stable open three-point point to make a cameo appearance as a scoring guard.

Sakuragi is a super capable point guard in his own right, and even if he changes his position to a forward, the team generally doesn't need a point guard with a strong ability to play the ball.

So for Mizuno, the team's original main point guard, his position in the team this year is awkward, unless he encounters a defensive team with a relatively high number of superiors, it is generally difficult for him to coexist with Sakuragi.

Dual point guards also have to be prioritized, and letting Sakuragi only play as a point guard or swing man undoubtedly weakens his control on the court, and with Sakuragi as the core of the team, it is difficult for Mizuno to play his dangerous passing.

The coexistence of the two, at least for Suzuki, is an unsolvable problem, one in charge of the start, and the other in the lead, which is the best arrangement he can do.

However, for Yasuda, the lack of lethal passing ability has become his advantage as a point guard and Sakuragi's coexistence, so that he will not interfere with Sakuragi.

On the contrary, Yasuda's long-range shooting ability, after showing it, will also contain an outside player on the opponent, making him scruple about Sakuragi.

It can be said that this is a role player who is a perfect match for Sakuragi, who plays as a striker.

Sakuragi played the position of playmaker in the second half, not fixed at small forward, and when defending, he would retreat deeper and go to the power forward position to prevent fire.

Under Sakuragi's watchful eye, Seirin's attack fell into trouble as soon as it reached the god of fire.

In terms of bounce power, Vulcan is slightly better, and in terms of explosive power, Sakuragi is stronger than him. In front of Sakuragi, Vulcan found that no matter what feints he made, it seemed that Sakuragi had seen through them, and it was difficult to have an effect. Only the simplest and most straightforward unreasonable play will make it possible to penetrate Sakuragi's defense.

After all, Vulcan is an ace player who is still better than Rukawa, and it is unrealistic to want to completely ban him.

It's just that even if he passes through Sakuragi's defense, Vulcan is still difficult to score, and there is still Akagi under the basket!

Akagi interrupted Vulcan's attack with a ferocious block, and Rukawa quickly extended the margin to 7 points.

In the face of Xiangbei's change of formation, Cheng Rin, who only has one ace player on the front line, Vulcan, obviously can't support it, and Coach Yuan Ze also made adjustments in a timely manner.

Susa, Izuki, Kiyoshi returned to the center position, and Vulcan played small forward.

Kiyoshi, Mitobe, Vulcan, Izuki, Hinata, these five talents are the starting lineup when Seirin entered the national competition last year!

The situation began to sink into a tangle.

Seirin, who put on the strongest lineup, began to show Xiangbei why they were able to continuously qualify from Tokyo, another famous fierce battle zone in addition to Kanagawa.

"So fast!" Wu Dai couldn't help but sigh on the sidelines.

Run fast, pass fast, shoot fast.

The run-and-bomb tactic is very familiar to Xiangbei, and it is the best way to play in the sunrise west next door, but the same tactics, in the hands of different people, the effect is also very different.

What makes Seirin better than Sunrise West is that they have ace-level players as fulcrums on all three lines!

In particular, center Muji can not only score by himself, but also continue to pass the ball back to the outside after attracting defensive attention to himself in the low post, so that the mid-range Vulcan and the long-range Hinata can find the right time to shoot.

Passing the ball from the inside allows the player receiving the ball to attack directly in the frame. For defenders, this type of offense is several times more difficult to defend than when a point guard drags the ball in at the end to launch an offense.

Therefore, even if there is no problem with the defense of Shacang and Rukawa, for a while, Chengrin always finds a flaw and shoots from a distance.

Mitobe, who had been suppressed by Akagi and did nothing, gradually played its part. Blocking people for the god of fire and helping Muji get in the position, but he didn't take the initiative to attack, which made Sakuragi's strong defensive ability basically have no room to play.

Sakuragi easily found an opportunity to poke the ball out of the hand of Vulcan, who had just broken through Rukawa, and Izuki, who followed up behind Vulcan, flexibly grabbed the position and slapped the ball directly at Mitobe, who completed his second score of the game with a hook.

Chengrin is rising, and there is some trouble in Xiangbei.

Rukawa and Shakura missed one after another, while Akagi and Sakuragi teamed up, but they only grabbed a rebound in front of Kiyoshi and Vulcan.

At one point, Sei-rin narrowed the gap to 4 points.

Suzuki saw that Rukawa's physical strength seemed to have dropped drastically, so he replaced Rukawa with a high beard, aligned Mitobe, and let the two red-haired boys continue to be companions.

This substitution had an immediate effect and curbed the momentum of Chengrin's pursuit of points.

Shakura's main responsibility is defense, Yasuda was specifically defended by Yiyue, and the focus of Xiangbei's offense shifted to the inside line, and the success rate was very high.

On the other hand, Sei-rin saw that even if Kiyoshi returned to the inside line, the inside offense and defense were still at a disadvantage, so he insisted on relying on Hinata's outside three-point to chase. It's just that under the defense of Shakura, Hinata's shooting rate has dropped significantly, and it is up to the three inside to desperately grab rebounds to maintain the situation.

The two sides come and go, each showing their strengths, but in the final stage of the second half, the situation is still tilted in the direction of defense that is favorable to Xiangbei.

The physical strength of the three main forces of Kiyoshi, Vulcan, and Hyuga is close to exhaustion.

On the Xiangbei side, only Akagi and Sakuragi have fought from the beginning to the present.

Akagi also showed fatigue, but today Maori was not there, and Muji was too strong, and exchanging Hotta for him would only be blown up, so he had to let Akagi persevere.

Only Sakuragi is still alive and kicking, sprinting back and forth without reducing the opening.

Vulcan couldn't defend himself anymore. It's just that like the problems encountered by Xiangbei in the center position, the substitute Koganei can't replace Vulcan at all. Even if he can barely run, the role of Vulcan staying on the field is greater than that of Koganei, who has enough physical strength.

The game ended with a score of 109-115.

Xiangbei didn't win much, but it never gave Cheng Rin any hope of winning.
