Chapter 30: The Final Victory over Miuradai

Unloaded from his mental burden, Yanagisawa played brilliantly at the start of the second half, and his focus on defense made it difficult for Oda to connect the ball.

After five minutes, Yanagisawa's stamina dropped and he was replaced by Shakura.

Oda thought it would be easy, but he didn't expect that the new sand warehouse technology was not as good as Yanagisawa, but the speed and explosiveness were still above Yanagisawa. And like Yanagisawa, Shakura is also an unyielding and stalking, which makes Oda a little unbearable.

Before the halfway point of the second half, Coach Harada saw that Oda's physical exertion was too great, so he had no choice but to replace him with Miyamoto, a new student.

From the beginning of the second half to the end of Miuratai's ace, Xiangbei launched an offensive around captain Maki. Just as the outer line of Xiangbei could not withstand Oda and Saeki, the inner line of Miuratai was always beaten by real wood tricks, and there was no way to fight back.

Although the current Xiangbei team is not as proud of the county as Dahe in the past, for teams outside of Xiangyang and Hainan, there is no center that can limit his presence at present, at least for the current Miuratai.

The pace of this warm-up match was fast, and the confrontation was fierce, no less than the normal county tournament knockout round.

Xiangbei's side has replaced all the starters, and it is currently a combination of Maki, Hotta, Shakura, Endo and Wudai; Miuradai's side also replaced most of the starters, and only Saeki and Shimoda remained on the court.

After Saeki went off the court, he played the small forward position, his height is even taller than Oda, and the bounce is better, but the speed is a little slower, but he can dunk and shoot from the outside, and he still makes the full defense of Shakura left and right, tired to cope.

After halftime adjustments, Kuwata's mood returned to normal, replacing Nanshan and first-year freshman center Kawasaki to fight against the Shobei inner line composed of Maki and Hotta.

The inside line was crushed, but the performance of Miuradai's two defenders was still remarkable, and it was inseparable from the Endo and Wudai combinations in Xiangbei.

Shimoda moved forward in Saeki's position, and began to take over the ball in full swing, last year he was only the team's third point guard, rarely playing, but at this time dribbling, decent, quite skillful, although not great, but also no negligence, assisting Saeki and Miyamoto to catch up with the score.

Miyamoto's height of 1.8 meters is not conspicuous in the Miura Taiwan formation, but as soon as he is put on the court, he is on the scoring guard position, which immediately makes the opposite Wu Dai very uncomfortable.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Miyamoto has not yet developed his long-range shooting ability, and his shooting location is close to the restricted area, and he is often affected by the big forward Hotta of Xiangbei, and the shooting rate is not high.

However, on the other hand, in the face of Miyamoto, who is tall, Wu Dai can only take advantage of very limited opportunities, and only make a move when he gets rid of Miyamoto, and it is also difficult to score.

Xiangbei's strong point is in the center, and Miuratai's strong point is in the small forward, which seems to be flat, but in fact, Xiangbei has the upper hand.

Whether it is from the point of view of scoring efficiency or the protection of rebounds, the real wood that occupies the basket plays a greater role than Saeki who connects inside and outside, and Xiangbei relies on this slight advantage to accumulate the winning momentum in the score bit by bit.

Seeing that Xiangbei was just scoring one point at a time, one ball at a time, and gradually widening the difference to 8 points, Coach Harada made adjustments again, replacing Kawasaki, a center who was obviously a little unable to run, and replacing it with Shinsheng Mura Yu to play the big forward, and put Kuwata in the center position.

After Murayu came on the court, Miuratai actually had no center, and their attack began to speed up, trying to use speed to fight against the height of Xiangbei.

This change of formation caught Xiangbei off guard, and Hotta in the big forward position was more than strong, but his speed was weak, and he was shaken by the village rain and hit several balls in a row.

Saeki and Shimoda, two third-graders, have the ability to organize and finish, and although Miuradai's offense is a little chaotic, there is still a thread to follow in the chaos, basically relying on Murayu and Saeki to cut into the basket and shoot.

Although Maki's defensive range under the basket is very large, it is not easy to control Isamu Kuwata while taking care of two flexible forwards, and if he is not careful, he will be fouled again.

Fortunately, Xiangbei is still in Endo, and he is no stranger to Miuratai's similar style of play, so he greeted Shacang, and the two exchanged defensive players. As soon as he retreated, he immediately restrained Saeki, leaving only Mura Yu to create a threat.

However, Murayu is indeed very strong, compared to Oda and Saeki, it is only one line behind, but it is slightly inexperienced, and he likes to play strongly, and he will not divide the ball until he reaches a dead end.

It's just that when facing Hotta, who is not as strong as him, this style of play still reaped good results.

Suzuki saw that this was not good, but he didn't expect that Miuratai actually hid such a strong player, breaking the balance on the field in one fell swoop, he looked back at his side, his eyes first swept over the few who had not yet played, and then shook his head, whether it was Kawabe or Takasu, they were the same type as Hotta, and it would be useless to change them. Hotta only came out in the first half, and there is no problem with physical strength, but the difference is strength.

Suzuki glanced at Akagi and shook his head, even if Akagi had a lot of physical strength, he was not ready to send Akagi on the field again. Akagi's three fouls are an important reason, and the balanced distribution of playing time so as not to cause conflicts within the team is another important reason.

Suzuki's gaze finally stayed on Ishii's body, called him closer, and said simply: "You replace Hotta, go up to play center, and hand over the new player to Maki to deal with." ”

The reason why I didn't directly let Hotta and Maki switch positions was because Hotta was only in his early eights at the moment, and in the face of Kuwata, his height and experience were not as good as the other party, and he could easily be beaten to lose confidence.

Although there was Akagi at the same time, and his own conditions were only average, Hotta was still in Suzuki's plan, and he was a very important member, because Suzuki didn't want him to repeat the mistakes of the original world line and quit the basketball club for some reason.

Suzuki's adjustment is equivalent to a fatal blow to the seven inches of Miuradai.

After the position of the real wood was moved out, not only did the village rain no longer appear, but even Saeki was implicated, and it was difficult to directly impact the basket.

Coach Harada sighed and sat back in his seat, not making any further adjustments. He has exhausted his hole cards, but the staffing of Xiangbei is more reasonable than their Miuradai, and Suzuki has always had a way to deal with it, maintaining the advantage of the inside line from the beginning to the end.

In the end, Xiangbei won the warm-up game with a 68-63,5 point advantage.

When saying goodbye, Suzuki smiled and said to Harada: "The positions of Oda, Saeki and Murayu of your team overlap, how good it would be to divide us into one in Xiangbei." ”

Harada snorted coldly and said, "Don't think about it! I'll fix their compatibility issues before I get to the county competition. See you at our county contest. ”

Both teams were in the quarterfinals last year, and the county competition must be in different regions, and if you want to meet, it will be the final.

Suzuki said happily: "Chengjun Jiyan, goodbye to our county competition." ”
