Chapter 66: Xiangyang Battle in Northern Hunan (2)
This ball was thrown from the outside, and only Honglin was pressed under the basket of Xiangbei alone, and Xiangbei could not play a fast attack, so he had to organize the attack step by step.
Fujima defended aggressively, and it took some effort for Endo to find a gap and pass the ball to Yanagisawa's hands.
Yanagisawa had already been told by Suzuki that Hiiragi was a top small forward no less than Sakuragi, and he didn't dare to keep the ball in his hand more, beckoning Kuroda to come over and play cooperatively, but he actually passed the ball to Maki.
Maki received the ball near the three-point line and turned around, but there was no chance to shoot, and Tsuchihashi in front of him was also born as a center, and there was no problem with his height and defensive skills.
Passing to the inside and then to Akagi, Maki is unwilling, this is not to underestimate Akagi's ability, but the current Akagi is indeed not Honglin's opponent, so he tried to dribble through the earth bridge, but it was still unsuccessful.
In the midst of the stalemate, Yanagisawa reminded him from behind, and Maki was startled, hurriedly changed hands, and was almost snatched by Hiiragi.
As soon as Hiiragi moved, Tsuchihashi also pressed up, and Maki knew that he couldn't play, so he used an unconventional move and passed the ball straight behind him with a backhand.
Without any superfluous communication, Yanagisawa appeared at the point where the ball landed and immediately made a quick shot.
5-6。
Hiiragi raised his hand to signal to his teammates that it was his problem, and the captain Honglin ran past him and said casually: "Steals always have to take some risks, and you have done a good job just now, it is the other party's good cooperation." It's nothing, we'll just hit it back. ”
Hiiragi actually knew that although the ball just now was thrown by Yanagisawa, who was in the right position, his responsibility was not great.
However, as a transfer student who joined the team halfway through, and also squeezed out a main player in last year's Winter Cup to get the starting position, Hiiragi knew that his performance would be subject to more critical eyes, so he has been traveling, and he is a little precocious, he consciously lowers his posture, hoping to better integrate into the team.
Gao Gao ran past Hiiragi with Honglin, patted him, and said, "Let's go!" ”
Hiiragi smiled and replied, "Okay." ”
However, this attack had nothing to do with either of them, Fuji Shinichi made an unexpected longitudinal pass, passed through the defense line formed by Xiangbei, and sent it directly to the hands of Honglin under the basket.
Honglin leaned on Akagi, although he didn't squeeze Akagi out, but it also made him lose his center of gravity and couldn't make defensive moves, and then Honglin avoided Akagi and turned around, jumped slightly, held the ball above his head, and struck a hook hand, sending the ball into Xiangbei's basket without any cover.
Hiiragi and high-level people are in defensive positions, and Xiangbei can only launch a positional attack.
Endo first connected with Maki this time, and after he didn't have a chance, he tried to let Yanagisawa, who had some organizational skills, to find a flaw in Xiangyang's defensive formation, but the ball was passed several times outside the ball, and there was never a good opportunity. Seeing that the time for the attack was approaching, Endo had no choice but to hand the ball to Kuroda, who had the best shooting skills in the team, and let him shoot.
However, Kuroda did not completely get rid of the high rank, and his hurried shot deviated from the basket, smashed the board and bounced back, which was obtained by Honglin.
Honglin won Akagi and wanted to hold the ball to organize an attack, but he didn't expect Maki to quietly stick it up, cut it on the ball with one palm, and knocked the ball out of his control.
Akagi caught the ball on the side, jumped with both hands and dunked, and scored 2 points.
Honglin glanced at the person who broke his ball in surprise, and was relieved when he saw that it was real wood. His hand didn't actually go down just now, with his height of two meters and one three, no one should be able to reach it.
The average height of the center in the county is just over 1.9 meters, and the big forward, which is less than 1.85 meters, is because Honglin has never been snatched the ball from the head by an opponent who has never played a big forward.
Back then, the top four in the county, Xiangbei and Lingnan, the height of the starting center Gonghe and Sanqiao were less than 1.9 meters.
In the past few years, the results of high school basketball in the national competition have improved, more students have paid attention to the sport, and the average height of newcomers has been increasing.
Honglin stared at Maki deeply, and then plunged to Xiangbei's basket, but this time, he didn't wait for a pass from his teammate.
Endo and Kuroda both collided with their bodies close to foul one after another, disrupting Fujima's dribbling rhythm, and then Endo completed the break. The two then came on a quick layup, and finally Kuroda assisted Endo for a layup.
Fujima's counterattack came violently, this time he increased the distance of his run and shortened the time he held the ball in his hands, and advanced to the half of Xiangbei through high-level passes, and at the same time made Endo and Kuroda who wanted to draw a gourd again lose their defensive position.
After Fujima got rid of Endo, he received the ball from the high-level hand, and then instead of passing the ball to Hiiragi, who had already started, he suddenly jumped outside the three-point line!
With the basketball once again piercing the basket in Xiangbei, the scores of the two teams came to the same level again.
I didn't expect a miracle for my team to overturn Xiangyang, but Suzuki, who had been sitting on the sidelines, changed his face at this time, his brows furrowed, his body leaned forward, his hands on his knees, and he looked a little unable to sit still.
Momoi noticed the change in Suzuki and asked with some hesitation, "Are we going to make some changes?" ”
Suzuki glanced at Shoyo's bench and sighed, "I have to make a change!" I didn't expect Xiangyang's change of formation today to have such an effect, and our fast attack couldn't fight at all. ”
Shoyang's lineup today, compared to the previous game against Miuradai, there are two positions that have changed personnel. One is to let Kenji Tsuchihashi, who is more experienced, replace Hanagata Toru as a power forward, and the other is to replace the swingman Mitsui Shou with a more versatile high-level Tono.
The new lineup is not easy to say in terms of offense, at least on the defensive end, it has been strengthened a lot, which directly makes Xiangbei scheduled to focus on chasing fast attack, which has only been played once so far, and there has been no chance since then.
In these five minutes, Xiangbei was able to draw with Xiangyang, which was created by relying on a lot of preparation before the game to find out the small technical problems of Xiangyang players and target them.
However, Xiangyang's players are not characters in computer games after all, and there is a flaw that can be used repeatedly.
Xiangbei's targeting, basically, after a success, loses its effect, and next, it still depends on the players' gongs and drums to rely on their real strength to play.
Thinking of this, Suzuki motioned for Momoi to ask the scorekeeper for a timeout, while he himself was thinking about how to play the next game.
By the time the players came down, Xiangbei had fallen behind by 2 points.
Maki's mid-range shot didn't go in, and the rebound was picked up by Tsuchihashi, and then Shoyang counterattacked with a high-level layup.
