Chapter 50: The Opponent Who Must Be Trodden On: Lingnan (9)
Shacang's accurate three-pointer extended Xiangbei's lead to 8 points.
Baoke, who had lost points due to the loss of points in the empty sand warehouse before, glared at the sand warehouse fiercely, and said hatefully, "This kid actually has a three-point hand", and before half the time, he reached out to Tsukahara for the ball.
The requirements of the ace in the team, Tsukahara naturally will not disobey and obediently bring the ball over.
After Baoke took the ball, he began to run wildly, and after breaking through the sand warehouse, he faced the fill-up Maki, who was in a small space of less than one meter, completed the pull ball and turned, his body was like a spinning top, bypassing Maki, without slowing down a little, and went straight to the basket, and then before Akagi came up to defend, he completed the attack with a big windmill split.
Baoke's lone heroic attack was very exciting, but the cheers of the Lingnan supporters only rang for a moment, and then they came to an abrupt end and turned into sporadic exclamations.
Xiangbei's counterattack was played very quickly, and before Baoke turned around when he landed, Akagi had already sent the ball out.
Shohoku now has two point guards on the court, Tsukahara follows Mizuno, but Kadomatsu can't keep an eye on Endo.
Akagi made a long pass, the ball came to the right sideline of the midfield, Endo rushed over at full speed, slapped the ball forward in bounds, rushed out of the court, ran two steps, came back to catch the ball he had just hit, and went straight to the basket.
Mizuno and Shakura pressed on the left in one middle and one left, and Lingnan only Tsukahara returned to his own half in time at the moment, one against three, and he was alone, so he had to defend Endo who held the ball first.
Instead of running straight to the basket, Endo rushed straight to the baseline until he was almost parallel to the rebound, holding the ball with both hands and aiming at the basket.
Tsukahara had no choice but to step forward to block it.
Endo saw him move, and immediately passed the ball to the free throw line in the middle a little, and dragged it slightly in the hands of Mizuno behind.
Despite being in an excellent position, Mizuno didn't shoot himself, but sent it to the side and gave the ball to the left of Shakura.
Behind Mizuno, Kadomatsu stopped heavily, he tried his best to defend back, hurried slowly, and chased behind Mizuno. If Mizuno made his own move, he still had the possibility of using the advantage of height and arm length to block the hat, but Mizuno passed again, and he couldn't do it.
Shakura didn't waste Mizuno's selfless passes, got closer to the basket, and then sent the ball into the basket with the most secure layup.
Unconsciously, after playing 5 minutes in the second half, after Yuzumi came on the field, the difference between the two teams not only did not narrow, but there was a tendency to widen, Coach Taoka frowned, and asked Ikegami, who was in charge of recording the game, to record and find the reason.
Ikegami gave him the record of the second half first, and Tian Oka only glanced at it, and said: "Xiangbei's attack success rate today is actually so high!" ”
In Chishang's record, Xiangbei launched 7 attacks in the second half, and actually scored every time!
On the other hand, Lingnan, although he also played very well, the only attack failure became the culprit of the widening of the point difference.
On the surface, it seems that the disadvantage of the offense has led to this situation, but Taoka knows that this is just the appearance, and the real reason is that there is a problem with Lingnan's defense.
Almost every shot in Xiangbei is in an empty position, which is the truth of their high scoring efficiency.
Taking a closer look at the staffing of Xiangbei, Tianoka understands where the problem is.
The double point guard is the configuration when Lingnan got the best result in the team's history and was in the top four in the country. With two excellent point guards on the floor together, how many kills can be created, Ooka knows very well.
Although the current double point guards in Xiangbei are only weakened by at least two grades compared to Lingnan's back then, this is enough for the current Lingnan to drink a pot.
Originally, Lingnan's point guard, looking at the county, was not so weak. Tsukahara is at least a good starting point guard, while Kadomatsu is currently the leading three-point master in Kanagawa Prefecture.
In the past two years, because of the blowout of inside talents, in the position of scoring guard, there are no excellent three-point shooters in Kanagawa, but most of them are dual-purpose guards.
Among the pure three-point shooters, it is Akira Mizuhashi in Xiangbei as the first, and the next is Xiangyang's Miura Ranmaru, and further down, it is Kakumatsu Satoshi in Lingnan.
It can be said that with the graduation of Mizuhashi and Miura, Kadomatsu can be regarded as Kanagawa's first three-point shooter at present.
However, in today's game, Kadomatsu did not show the demeanor of Kanagawa's first three-point shooter.
In the first half, Kakumatsu made 7 three-pointers, but only scored 3 of them, plus a mid-range shot, and the shooting rate was just 50%.
At the beginning of the second half, Kadomatsu played well, shooting 3 of 4 three-pointers, raising his score to 20, but after that, he disappeared again, and he has not played a role on the offensive end for three rounds.
The reason for Kadomatsu's abnormal performance is obvious, and it can be seen from the defense just now that his physical strength is already a little lacking.
Lingnan's training has always been known for its large volume, and it stands to reason that Kakumatsu's physical strength is not bad, so that he can't even run for most of the game. Especially today's game, it is the first official game in Lingnan this year, and there is no factor of physical wear and tear in continuous combat.
The reason for Kadomatsu's lack of physical strength, the Taoka ghost moved his eyes to the bench in Xiangbei, and Mu Dui, who was still leaning on the back of the chair and closing his eyes, glanced at Endo, the former point guard who was known for his speed in the Xiangbei formation, and immediately understood.
Damn it!
Taoka threw the record paper in his hand at Ikegami, and then shouted to the bench, "Matsumoto, warm up a little and get ready to play!" ”
Seeing that his substitute Matsumotooka began to warm up, he knew that he was going to be replaced by Kadomatsu to squeeze out the little physical strength he had left. After running widely, using a staggered run with Tsukahara to shake off Endo, who had been following him all along, Kadomatsu took the basketball from Hoshina, jumped high, and threw his last three-pointer of the game.
49-54。
Lingnan is still five points behind.
Matsumoto, a newcomer, is a player who is almost carved out of the same mold as Kakumatsu, and his height has reached 180cm, and he has a good outside defense while also having a long shot. Compared with Kakumatsu, his range is closer than Kakumatsu, his mid-range shooting is more accurate, and there is no spectrum for three points.
As soon as he got on the court, Matsumoto got a chance, relying on his physical strength, singled Endo, and after the fake throw really broke out of the position, he raised his hand to throw the ball.
To Taoka's disappointment, Matsumoto didn't score the first three points, but fortunately Uozumi grabbed the rebound and assisted Wakamatsu to score.
Xiangbei counterattacked, but Lingnan retreated quickly, and the inside line was tightly defended, so he had just thrown into a 2-point Mizuno and tried to shoot again.
But this time, Mizuno's shot was a little off the rails and didn't go in, and the rebound was snatched up by Yuzhu again.
Yuzhu tried to launch a fast attack and threw the ball at Baoke, but his intention was somewhat obvious, and Shacang went around and made a move to take the ball out of bounds before Baoke could get the ball.
Lingnan's possession, the score was still 51-56.
