Chapter 66: The Battle of Northern Hunan and Buri (3)

The second half began.

In the lineup of Buri, there are two new faces. No. 5 Yoshino and No. 7 Koizumi were replaced, and No. 10 Ono and No. 11 Mori were replaced.

Maki also had some impressions of the roster on the Buri team, reminding Suzuki that the two of them were in the second year.

These two people are similar in height to the two who were replaced, and they should be substitutions for the opposite position, rather than a tactical adjustment to strengthen the inside line.

Buri doesn't have an inside advantage and relies on high-quality projections from the outside to maintain the score, for which their players put in a lot of running.

Suzuki was going to adjust the situation to attack the players who were exhausted, but now this calculation will definitely not work. However, Suzuki is not disappointed in this, Xiangbei has an obvious advantage in strength, even if he can't take advantage of this loophole, he can establish a victory in the tug-of-war, and what he has to do now is not to let his team have flaws.

Ono and Mori are really still the same type of players as Yoshino and Koizumi, short and fast, and have a hand shot.

The addition of the new force has made Buri's running system run smoothly, and even if Xiangbei is replaced by Endo, it cannot block the other party's frequent interspersed positions.

However, the score was gradually pulled apart.

With 13 minutes left in the second half, the score was 47-56.

The scoring efficiency of both teams, especially Buri's scoring rate, remained high and did not decline, but Buri was literally nearly 10 points behind.

The reason is that the captain and leading scorer of Buri, Kazuya Sato, was locked up by the captain of Xiangbei, Taihe.

After Koizumi left the court, Bururi's three-point shooter on the court was only Sato.

Today, facing Dahe, who is nearly 20 centimeters taller than himself, Sato played very hard.

The huge difference in height makes most of the shooting skills he is most proud of have been sealed with most of his power.

In the first half, with the support of another three-point shooter, Koizumi, Sato was able to use his teammates to attract Ogawa's attention, and he hit three three-pointers, but when Koizumi was off the court, he was outside the three-point line and had no chance to shoot at all.

After becoming familiar with Sato's three-point skills, even the step-back jumper, Taiga was able to use his height and bounce to stop it.

The captain of Bururi had to pass the ball out of his hand again and again.

The rest of the Bururi lineup, including center Aizawa, had a three-point base, but their shooting percentage was inconsistent, and they had to shoot two points inside the three-point line to ensure offensive success without an inside rebound.

Coach Takeuchi had to send Koizumi on the field again and let Hirose go down to rest.

Suzuki, on the other hand, immediately replaced the water bridge with Imai to maintain the physical strength of the outside personnel.

This substitution did not restore Buri's decline, and with the decline in physical strength, the hand of Bururi's outside pitchers finally cooled down, and there was a continuous iron strike.

The cold hand feels like it will be contagious, and after Ono, Mori Gong, and Koizumi lost one after another, Aizawa pulled out from the inside and tried to shoot a 2-pointer, but he still didn't score.

Bururi's continuous attacks were fruitless, and Xiangbei took this opportunity to pull the score away.

With 6:55 left in the game, the score was 57-77, and the margin widened to a desperate 20 points.

Coach Takeuchi made another adjustment.

Under the attack of Miyagawa and Yoshino, Aizawa, who lasted for most of the half, was replaced, and it was replaced by a tall man wearing a No. 14 jersey, Yoshino stood with him, and there was no height advantage.

At the same time, he was replaced by Koji Yoshino, who had just been introduced at halftime, and Koji Yoshino was once again in the field, and his range seemed to be closer to the basket and limited to the three-point line than several other players in the Buri team.

Suzuki's eyes flashed, is he going to bet 3 points? He speculated about Takeuchi's intentions.

After two rounds, the score was 63-79. Koizumi threw three three-pointers in a row and hit two, and one of them, after not making a long-range shot, was rebounded by No. 14 Midorikawa on Miyagawa's head, creating another opportunity for Koizumi to make a shot.

Suzuki quickly called a timeout.

Suzuki replaced Miyagawa, whose bouncing ability had decreased due to the loss of physical strength, and replaced him with substitute center Maki. In this game, Suzuki's request to Maki did not score, as long as he grabbed the rebound.

Being able to play in such a crucial game, Maki was already very happy, and he had no objection to not letting him participate in the attack.

Then Suzuki said to Dahe: "Dahe-san, it's time for you to exert your strength, stretch the score to 30 points, and completely cut off Buri's hope of winning." ”

The corners of Dahe's mouth curled, and he responded, "As you wish." ”

At the end of the timeout, the Xiangbei team served.

Taiga took the ball from Imai's hand, and in the face of Buri Yoshino's scramble, he did not pass the ball out quickly, but leaned sideways against Yoshino and patted down, waiting for Yoshino in Xiangbei to settle down.

Koizumi thought there was a chance, and quietly posted it from the side and back to intercept it.

Dahe had already seen him in the eyes with the corner of his eye, a turn, walking sideways along the three-point line, Yoshino just wanted to catch up, but before he could exert his strength, he bumped into Xiaoquan who was dodged by Dahe and almost lost his balance, so he had to stop his pace, turned his head to see Dahe wipe Ono, and rushed to Midorikawa to buckle violently.

Midorikawa stepped forward to block, but not only did he fail, but he also took a foul that allowed Taiga to easily erase a three-point shot.

Buri counterattacked, facing the impregnable defense of the big river, Sato passed the ball to Koizumi, but Koizumi was very uncomfortable by Imai and passed the ball to Ono.

Ono watched the two Yoshino entangled, and only he had a chance to shoot, gritting his teeth and throwing a three-pointer.

The goal didn't go in.

The new Maki was in a better position, grabbed the first rebound of the game, and then passed the ball long.

Yoshino catches the ball with both hands, then throws it again and sends it to Endo's forward path.

Endo started first, shook off Ono, and rushed into the paint area of Buri.

Buri's defense was fast, and Sato spread his hands and didn't give an inch.

Endo jumped up, lured Sato to jump to block, and then passed the ball to Taiga behind him with a backhand.

After receiving the ball, Ogawa dodged Koizumi, took a step back to the three-point line, and aimed for a three-point shot.

63-85。

Xiangbei reopened the score to more than 20 points.

"Give me the ball!" Despite the fact that there was a big river in front of him, Sato took the initiative to reach for the ball.

Koizumi glanced at Imai in front of him and chose to believe in his captain.

Sato bent down, lowered his hands, and dribbled back and forth at a very low height in front of him, observing Taiga's movements.

Dahe was unmoved, and said lightly: "If you want to break through, it's up to you, you have to shoot three points, no way!" ”

Sato responded: "What's the use of 2 points! With that, he jerked to his feet and made a projection gesture.

"It's useless!" Big River's hand blocked the angle of his projection.

Sato jumps.

The river is just tiptoeing, and this height is enough.

The ball in Sato's hand was delayed.

Dahe was a little smug and was about to reach out to destroy it, when he suddenly realized that the basketball was getting farther and farther away from him.

"Step-back jumper!" Dahe was a little surprised, and then said, "This distance is not enough! ”
