Chapter 15 Position, Chasing Points, and Substitutions.
"Bang!" Tokuda rose up, jumped high, and scored two more points with a tomahawk dunk.
Yoshino, who was blocked by Asakawa at this time, chased the free throw arc and had to stop and helplessly watch Tokuda's performance.
74-60。
When Taoka saw Tokuda score in such a morale-boosting way, he scolded instead, "Bastard! Who made you slam dunk! Beware of injury! Scolding and scolding, scolding, the corners of his upturned mouth showed his good mood, and thought in his heart, Xiangbei seems to have done his best, but the score difference has expanded to 14 points, it seems that the game has reached garbage time, is it time to change two substitutes to exercise?
Suzuki didn't want to let Taoka get his wish, and the game would not end for more than ten minutes, but the physical strength of Lingnan's main force had declined to varying degrees, which was an opportunity, and he wanted to play again.
Suzuki believes that the main reason why Xiangbei's score difference is now opened is not that the defense cannot be prevented, but that the offense cannot be opened, for this reason, he thought about it for a while, and ordered Mizuhashi to replace Lantau on the field.
During the substitution, Suzuki stood on the sidelines and instructed Ogawa to play as a small forward. Although Taiga was a little surprised, he still obeyed Suzuki's arrangement.
From the training in the team, Suzuki can see that Oga's skills are very comprehensive, and if he faces a team that is not tall, it is not impossible to play as a center forward. At the small forward position, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. What should have been done is still being done now, and it still plays the role of attacking the core.
Okawa, who is in the small forward position, has more options, inward, can pass to Miyagawa, and outward, Mizuhashi, who has just come on the court, has plenty of energy and can run out of the open position to shoot threes. Among Lingnan's outside line, the second-grade Kuroko has a serious loss of physical strength at this time, and his running is not as good as before, and he can't keep up with Shuiqiao, but let him go to defend Imai, and his height is a little disadvantaged.
The benefits of Dahe's entry into the inside line are also apparent, and the height of Xiangbei's forward line completely overwhelms the Lingnan line at this time, and the offense finally does not always stop with the loss of rebounding. After Miyagawa and Yoshino get the ball, they can throw it, and if they can't, they pass the ball to Taiga for processing.
Both of them in the guard line have the ability to shoot baskets, which also makes Lingnan unable to wrap up the big river, and the form of Xiangbei suddenly improved, and they began to chase points constantly!
Lingnan's offense was not bad, but the loss of rebounding made the scoring efficiency begin to reverse, coupled with the fact that Mizuhashi and Imai continued to score three points, Xiangbei actually played an 11-4 small climax, chasing the score to 78-71.
Tianoka couldn't sit still, he knew that now Lingnan had to make a change.
Looking back at the bench behind him, if it's to make sure of rebounding, it's the tall man who should be on the court the most. However, can Kosuke Wakamatsu, a 190cm first-grader, withstand the pressure? Shigeichi Taoka can't be sure. He has been the coach of the Lingnan basketball team for almost a decade, and he has seen many players who are very good in training but have weak feet when they come to the game, so he doesn't really believe in players who have never played. So choose Yusuke Kobe, a sophomore who is 182cm, to play? Kobe is a pure defender on the outside, and sending him on the court seems to be a little inconsistent with the original intention of the substitution to ensure rebounding.
Just when Tianoka was hesitating, Mizuhashi threw another three-pointer, and Kuroko, who was guarding him, put his hands on his knees and couldn't run.
80-76, only 4 points ahead.
In desperation, Taoka called a timeout first and let the main players rest first.
Kuroko Tetsuya was also helped by Imayoshi and Tokuda, and Taoka greeted him and asked, "Kuroko, can you still fight?" ”
Kuroko wanted to nod, but Imakishi patted him and smiled: "Tetsuya-kun, you have worked hard enough today, let's look at us next." Our slogan in Lingnan is 'brave and resolute', not 'reckless and slow'! ”
Kuroko sat down in a chair, closed his eyes, and said, "Then I'll leave the game to the minister." We must win. You know, I hate failure the most. ”
Imayoshi laughed, "That's natural. ”
Imayoshi then said to Taoka: "Coach, in the next game, please let Kobe-kun play, with him, Xiangbei's three-point tactics will not succeed, and we can maintain the advantage until the end." ”
Under Imayoshi's persuasion, Taoka made up his mind and said, "Okay, just do it!" ”
Imayoshi turned his head to look at Tokuda and asked, "Tokuda-kun, can you still run?" ”
Tokuda smiled and said, "No problem at all. ”
Imayoshi said: "Okay, I'll be in charge of the game next, you don't have to worry about defending the big river, your task is to score!" ”
Tokuda smiled, "That's exactly how I like to play!" However, Yoshino-kun in Xiangbei is a little troublesome, and I need the support of the ancestors of Mitsuhashi and Asakawa. ”
Mitsuhashi and Asakawa were also tired enough, but after a year of practice, they could still hold on for the time being, and the two patted their chests and said, "No problem." The other said, "If you can't win, I'm going to beat you!" ”
Tokuda pretended to be scared and said, "Don't, don't, I'll try to score!" ”
Everyone in Lingnan laughed.
The laughter spread to Xiangbei, Suzuki glanced at them, and then said, "Leave them alone, we're still beating us!" In the next game, Yoshino-san can take a break, and Aoki will continue to play the role of power forward. ”
Yoshino nodded, there was no squeak, he had been on the field for the longest time in the Xiangbei team, Rao was his physical strength, and now he was tired of becoming a dead dog, after sitting down, his eyelids couldn't open, he just wanted to lie down and rest, and he didn't want to get up at all.
Suzuki analyzed: "Kuroko-san, on the other side, should no longer be able to play, it should be Imayoshi-san's return to the point guard position, and he will be handed over to you, Taiga." ”
Taiga nodded and did not speak. Today's Xiangbei attack is all dependent on him to connect, and the loss of physical strength is very serious, but fortunately, the perennial hard training has greatly improved his physical fitness, otherwise he is not much better than Kuroko Zhe now, just like last year in the game.
Suzuki said again: "Endo-san, please replace Imai-san, assist Oga-san, and if there is a good scoring opportunity, please be confident and don't let it go." ”
Endo was overjoyed and said, "Thank you Superintendent Suzuki for your trust!" ”
Imai has played until now, and the physical strength recovered before has been used again, and there is no objection to Suzuki's arrangement.
Suzuki turned his gaze to Miyagawa again and asked, "Miyagawa-san, can you still hold on?" ”
Miyagawa replied: "If you want to hold on for the next 7 minutes or so, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it." ”
Suzuki was a little disappointed, but he also knew that Lingnan's style of play was the most uncomfortable fast attack battle for Miyagawa, so he said: "Please also ask Miyagawa-san to hold on a little longer, when you can't hold on, I'll send Maki-san to the game again." ”
Miyagawa replied, "Okay! ”
