Chapter Seventy-Four: Xiangbei vs. Wuyuan (3)

Suzuki didn't know that someone was talking about him, so he wasn't cramped at all, and he calmly discussed the rotation in the second half with Momoi after watching the good situation.

The inside twin towers are temporarily unmovable, and without either, absolute control on the rebounding ball cannot be guaranteed. Fortunately, Xiangbei's offense is mainly ended by the outside pitchers, and only when the players of Wuyuan can't help but pounce on the outside line and expose the one-on-one opportunity on the inside, the ball will be handed over to Maki or Akagi singles. There is no problem with the stamina of the twin tower combination.

The focus of the Suzuki duo's discussion was on the trio on the outside. In order to consume Ye Shan's physical strength, they also have a lot of running, and they have to constantly pull when attacking, and the physical consumption is still quite large, but at present, Xiangbei is like a rainbow, and a spirit is up, and there is no fatigue for the time being.

However, the rotation is a must.

Hayama is like a bound tiger, still struggling, at this time, if a rope is loose and broken, indulge him, but he will swallow it in turn.

Therefore, the rotation should also take the initiative and take it early!

Suzuki, who had made up his mind, made the first substitution at the end of the first half, sending Takeyo to replace Kuroda, who had an average feeling today.

Kuroda's state today can only be regarded as okay, running actively, the assistance defense against Hayama is in place, and the timing of the choice of shot is not bad, but luck is not on his side, at least three balls are rolling around in the hoop, and finally fall out.

In just over 18 minutes, Kuroda took 14 shots and scored 17 points. Among them, the three-point shot was only 3 of 8, which is not ideal for a scoring guard who takes mid-to-long shooting as his main business. This is still against Wu Yuan, who has a huge advantage on the inside, and if he loses it, he can rely on Akagi Maki to snatch it back and launch a second attack. If he still has this shooting percentage against Hainan tomorrow, Suzuki will never tolerate his low shooting percentage and has a lot of firing rights.

After being replaced, Kuroda himself was a little disappointed, disappointed in his performance. Obviously, he has stabilized the starting position with his efforts, but he messed it up by himself. Especially when Wu Dai came on the court and scored 5 points in two shots to help Xiangbei continue to expand his advantage, Kuroda's face became a little unpleasant, and he was weak when he applauded.

He cares too much about his performance.

Momoi sensed that something was wrong with Kuroda's expression, and poked Suzuki and snuggled his mouth.

Suzuki shifted his gaze, thought about it and understood that he had a psychological burden, approached and patted him on the head and said, "Take it easy, don't think about things that have passed." You didn't play well today, but I'm sure that's not your real strength. Get in your mindset and take a good look at how your teammates are playing, and think about whether you should have chosen the same way if you were still on the field, or if you have a better solution. Kuroda, you are a smart child, and there is no problem with your attitude now, but you need to add your wisdom to it. ”

Kuroda realized something, thanked him respectfully, and shouted loudly, "Hi! ”

Suzuki smiled, patted his head lightly, and turned to greet Maki and the others who were resting next.

In the first half, both teams showed a strong offensive and weak defensive situation, and played very openly, and the final score was 47-41.

If it weren't for a long-distance three-pointer that Hayama gambled on at the last second, Xiangbei would have almost ended the first half with a near-double-digit advantage.

The players work hard, the tactics are effective, and Suzuki saves effort.

Suzuki just told Mizuno that he didn't have to play in the second half, and the position was left to Endo. This is the first time he has been in the county semi-finals, and the halftime has become just a halftime.

The second half continued the inertia of the first half.

Xiangbei's advantage gradually expanded, from 6 points to 7 points, 8 points, and 10 points!

Suzuki saw that Hayama's action rate had dropped a little, so he replaced Yanagisawa off the court as well, and asked Shakura to feel the strength of the super player. At this time, almost 8 minutes had passed in the second half.

Seeing that Xiangbei sent a first-grade junior to guard himself, Ye Shan seemed to be enraged, and his playing style became violent, and several balls in a row reduced the changes, and he directly relied on speed to eat.

The change had a good effect, as Shacang was beaten 2+1 once, and Wu Dai also ate a blocking foul and took two free throws.

I have to say that Hayama's ability to make fouls is undoubtedly the top in the county, and there is no second person who can compare! His pace of action is too fast, and defenders can be tricked into making moves if they are not careful.

The individual skills of Shacang and Wu Dai are also considered to be at the middle and upper level of the team, but they are too far behind Hayama than experience, so it is inevitable that they will be hit.

Suzuki didn't care about this small countercurrent set off by Hayama, he just regarded it as a return to the light of Wuyuan, and there was no meaning to adjust it at all.

Sure enough, on Akagi, after the third successful foul in the second half, Hayama himself made a small mistake, and the throw from his right hand to his left hand actually went out of the frame, although there was one more free throw, but one less point, and he didn't make a profit.

Next, Hasegawa, a first-year power forward on the Takeen team, lost his stamina and couldn't run, so he was replaced by another first-year Daiming.

Seeing this change in Takeshien, Suzuki immediately followed the substitution, replacing Akagi with Ishii, so that the center who had worked hard today had a proper rest.

Ishii went up to play a power forward against Dai, who was also full of physical strength. His height and weight are one level higher than that of Daidu, and his duties are only defense and rebounding, and there is no difficulty at all.

Dai and Hasegawa both play power forwards, but they have different types.

Hasegawa has a strong defensive ability, while Dai has the ability to attack with the ball.

Coach Hayama sent Dai, not only with the intention of solving the problem of lack of physical strength at the power forward position, but also with the intention of letting Dai take over part of the shooting power and letting Kotaro Hayama take a break.

However, Suzuki's successive substitution adjustments directly eliminated this change of Coach Hayama invisibly, so that he no longer had to worry about whether Dai could score under the declining physical strength of Maki.

Kotaro Hayama, who was not supported, deteriorated, and there was a throw, and soon there was a second shot, and then, a third.

At the same time, Xiangbei's offense is steady, and almost every round must be scored.

Today's game has been played so far, and Xiangbei has only three rebounds in total, and the position when it rebounded back was unfortunate and he couldn't control it.

One ball bounced directly out of bounds, and the other two balls were picked up by Wuyuan's players, but once again Xiangbei seized the opportunity to snatch it back. The strength of the Ihara brothers' pair of guards is really limited, and their mid-range shooting is not good, so they are not material to play guards, but because Hayama firmly controls the position of small forward, they can only make do on the guard line.

Coach Hayama has undoubtedly failed in team building. This is in stark contrast to the Suzuki.

In the end, the difference in ability between the two coaches was reflected in the score of the game. Xiangbei became more and more courageous, defeating Wuyuan 102-74, at least getting the opportunity to play in the play-offs!

And Kotaro Hayama, the talented player, is the first and last time he will not be able to participate in the high school summer competition!

Wu Yuan, no chance.
