With the whistle of Imai, the warm-up match between Xiangbei and the Sunhita-Odakiri United team began.

"Huh." Suzuki was shocked, and Nakamura, who played as a cameo center, actually beat Miyagawa on the jump ball and slapped the ball firmly into Kawai's hand.

Lantau who is opposite Hehe is quite familiar with him, watching him take the ball, he did not go up to press, but let go of half a step, making it clear that he would not shoot against sudden breaks.

And Kawai also knew that Lantau was quite comprehensive and was not an easy target for him to deal with, so after half time, he passed the ball to Katayama's hand.

Seeing that the ball had arrived at Katayama, Lantau and Miyagawa shouted together: "Stick it up, don't let him shoot!" ”

Mizuhashi played against Katayama in the morning game, but neither of them played much, and the protagonists of the morning game were Shohoku's inner line Maki and Yoshino, and Oda Kiri's main general Arima.

Therefore, Mizuhashi's impression of Katayama is that the opponent's defense is quite good, but there is no performance in attack. At this time, when he heard the shouts of Miyagawa and Lantau and found that he was a little far away from Katayama, Katayama had already completed the preparatory action, took a small jump, waved his hand to send a mid-range shot, and took the lead in scoring 2 points.

Shuiqiao raised his hand to indicate that it was his own mistake, and Lantau did not say anything and organized an attack in northern Xiangbei.

In the face of the United team, Xiangbei has a big advantage in the position of big forward. Kudo is not as tall as Yoshino, and his playing experience is also a year short, and he was scored by Yoshino's layup.

The players of the team are not very familiar with each other, so the coordination is very simple, it is ordinary covering, blocking and dismantling, and more individual ball-holding singles.

Point guard Hakai deliberately created two chances for each of the other four to determine the direction of the main attack.

Nakamura deceived Miyagawa with a small hook on a step-back step and scored 2 points, while another layup under the basket was interfered with by Miyagawa and went out of the frame.

Kudo showed his cowardice in front of Yoshino and passed the ball out on both occasions without making a shot.

Nonaka tried to break through Abe and was cut off once, and then he took a jump shot directly with his height and arm length, but he made 2 shots and only scored one.

Katayama seems to have played a touch because of the first goal, and as long as he catches the ball, he no longer passes the ball out, and he shakes off the water bridge, which is a mid-shot. He made three more shots to add four more points to his team.

Mizuhashi was a little embarrassed to defend Katayama, but on the offensive end, Katayama couldn't contain him. Mizuhashi made 2 of 4 three-pointers, and in terms of scoring and efficiency, he was on par with Katayama.

However, the main direction of attack in Xiangbei is not Mizuhashi, but Yoshino.

During his training, Suzuki repeatedly emphasized that as long as he finds a point that can score, he must play firmly and never be soft.

Yoshino took Kudo's head, and after Nakamura interfered with it once, he assisted Miyagawa to score.

After 5 minutes, Shobei led 14-10, and Yoshino, like Mizuhashi, also scored 6 points.

Seeing that Xiangbei was leading, Suzuki sat down and clapped his hands in celebration, but the joy was very limited.

The Xiangbei players on the field, although they have the main substitution, they always practice and play together, and their running habits and shooting positions are clear to each other. On the other hand, the opponent, because it was a patchwork of two teams, and not all of them were the starting forces in their own teams, so Suzuki had expected the lead of Xiangbei for a long time and was not surprised. On the contrary, if he is lagging behind, he will get up and speak, and at that time, it will be a reprimand.

The only person on the field who made Suzuki have some interest to pay attention to was Nakamura, the main general of the sun.

In the afternoon warm-up game, Nakamura's position was the power forward, and even though he repeatedly became a background board under the shine of Ogawa, it was fair to say that his performance was still quite good, but it was only the lack of teammates that dragged down his performance.

Now, without the presence of Dahe in Xiangbei, Nakamura has gradually exerted his own captain-level strength.

Taking advantage of the chance of a dead ball, Suzuki stood on the sidelines and said, "Nakamura-san, I have something I want to ask. ”

The game was not formal, and Suzuki was the instructor of the basketball team, so Endo didn't dare to interfere with the game.

Nakamura was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Suzuki wanted to ask, but he still said, "Superintendent Suzuki, please speak." ”

Suzuki asked, "I want to ask, what position did Nakamura-san play before?" ”

Nakamura suddenly realized and said with a smile: "I played center in the sun for two years, and this year because of Nakahara-kun's joining, I think he can make the team stronger by playing center, so I changed to a power forward." ”

Suzuki was silent for a moment, said, "You're a good captain," and sat back down. Since it is known that Nakamura's position was originally the center, it can be explained that Miyagawa can't please him in his hands.

The game continues.

Xiangbei aimed at the big forward position of the Sunxia-Odakiri United, and the United team continued to score in the three positions of center, small forward and shooting guard, and the score was never opened, and by the end of the first quarter, the score was 25-19.

During the break, Suzuki replaced Yoshino with Aoki, and this substitution of self-abandoning martial arts did not bring an unfavorable situation to Xiangbei.

A mere 2-minute break is not enough to restore the physical strength lost in 10 minutes of fierce fighting. After Aoki, who can run and jump, comes on the field, although he can no longer suppress Kudo because of his height, it is not easy for Kudo to score points on Aoki's side.

The focus of Xiangbei's attack shifted to the water bridge, and the two people, Aoki and Abe, who were running actively, continued to block and dismantle the water bridge, so that Lantau could easily send the ball to the water bridge that ran out of the vacant position.

The wing was formed on an improvised basis, and there were serious flaws in the rotation, and it was difficult for Katayama to defend Mizuhashi as before.

With the help of the whole team, Mizuhashi's three-point shooting rate was as high as 60%, which posed a very big threat to the team.

However, after Xiangbei led by 10 points, Suzuki replaced Mizuhashi again, and replaced Imai with a shooting range slightly closer than Mizuhashi, and the three-point shot was not as stable as Mizuhashi, so he let him exercise.

Imai didn't feel very good today, but with the help of his teammates, he kept getting the opportunity to shoot, and finally got a little feeling.

Finally, at the end of the second quarter, the score came to 39-35, and Xiangbei deserved to win. Lantau who focused on combing the attack had nine assists, and Suzuki gave him a special compliment when he came off the pitch and asked him to keep up the good work and try to improve a little more in the recent stages.

And when Abe was off, Suzuki also gave him some praise, which made him a little flattered.

Although Abe is the focus of the opponent's attack in defense because of his height. But today, Abe used his best performance to prevent the opponent's Nonaka from gaining an overwhelming advantage. Although there is a reason why Nonaka himself is not strong enough, Abe's own efforts also account for a large proportion of it. He deserves special praise from Suzuki for his efforts.

The 15-minute halftime break is not over yet, and several tall figures appeared at the gate of the basketball stadium with a very large flow of people in and out today.

The leader shouted energetically, "We're back!" ”
