Chapter 13: Lead, Stalemate, Fatigue.
The height of the Ryonan front line is relatively average, about the same as Yoshino, around 185cm. In the face of Dahe, who is 184cm tall and weighs 77kg, they always have something that they can't keep up with in terms of technology or body.
Tokuda, who wore the No. 11 jersey, was entangled with Xiangbei No. 6 Yoshino, while Lingnan's No. 6 center was held up by Miyagawa and could only grab a handful to the sky in vain. The No. 5 power forward gave up the No. 9 Imai in front of him and came to make up for the defense, but he was squeezed away by Dahe, and his body was not thin and collapsed at the touch of a touch, thanks to his rich experience, he didn't stretch out his hand indiscriminately, otherwise he would have been beaten by Dahe 2+1.
Momoi continued to introduce Suzuki to Lingnan's starters, No. 5 named Asakawa and No. 6 named Taiki Mitsuhashi, both of whom were substitutes last year.
It was Lingnan's turn to attack, and the ball was really in the hands of Kuroko. Kuroko is half a head shorter than Dahe, and the ball is dribbled very low, but the frequency is very fast.
Dahe's center of gravity sank, and he was in a hurry, and he was not in a hurry to copy the ball.
Kuroko also knew that Taiga was strong, and he didn't force a breakthrough, and seeing that there was no flaw, he shook his hand and passed the ball to Imayoshi.
Imai posted it when Imakishi didn't receive the ball, so that Imakishi didn't have room to shoot. Imai was still a substitute last year, and he saw Imayoshi's scoring ability off the court, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
Imakishi didn't hit it hard, the ball passed in his hand for a while, and then returned it to Kuroko.
Kuroko didn't stick to the ball and immediately passed the ball to Tokuda on the other side.
Tokuda tried to make a breakthrough, but couldn't break through Yoshino's defense, and immediately passed the ball back again.
The ball landed in Kuroko's hand for the third time.
Kuroko still passed the ball, this time to Asakawa.
Asakawa faced Lantau 10 centimeters shorter than himself and jumped directly.
Lantau interfered, but the orange elf bounced twice on the basket and got into the net.
2-2。
Dahe slapped Lantau and said, "Don't mind, it's just that they are lucky, let's make this attack first." ”
This time, Taiga pretended to play hard, and after breaking into the inside, facing the defense of Asakawa and Mitsuhashi, he threw the ball backhand into the hands of Imai outside the three-point line.
Imai adjusted slightly, made a three-point shot, and hollowed into the frame.
2-5。
It was Lingnan's turn to attack again, and Kuroko passed the ball to Imayoshi's hand.
Imakishi faced Imai and said softly: "I didn't expect you to score three points, it seems that you are a character who can't be empty!" With that, Imakishi jumped.
Imai opened his arms to stop Imakishi's shot, but Imakishi's hands and the basketball were getting farther and farther away, and it was a step-back jumper! Imai's pupils shrank, and he recognized this skill that he had never mastered.
5-5。
Imakishi answered Imai's three points with a difficult three-pointer.
……
As if the passage of time had accelerated, Suzuki was fascinated by the sight of a section of time that had passed when he came back to his senses. The score is currently 22-24, with Xiangbei leading by 2 points and holding the serve.
The success rate of both sides' attacks was so high that it could almost be called a miss. Miyagawa made a layup by Asakawa, Imakishi and Tokuda missed one each, and on the Xiangbei side, Imai hit 4 of 5 two-point shots and 2 of 4 three-pointers, scoring 14 points, which was the biggest contributor to Xiangbei's lead.
However, in order to get rid of Imayoshi's defense, Imai ran a lot more than usual, and his breathing was already a little disordered. Lingnan's previous shot was that he shot in the middle of the frame and was passed to Tokuda by a long pass from Kuroko, Tokuda exerted his speed, went straight down, and made an easy layup.
Suzuki remembered that the current basketball game was still a two-half system, not a four-quarter system, so he immediately called a timeout.
Taihe was playing up, but he didn't expect Suzuki to shout a timeout, and walked to the sidelines a little unhappily, he suddenly felt that the breathing around him was a little loud, and when he looked left and right, not only Imai was obviously tired, but even Miyagawa and Lantau were panting heavily, and he knew that his situation was a little dangerous.
As soon as Imai put his butt on the bench, he covered his face with a towel, and all he could see was that his chest was constantly rising and falling.
Miyagawa gasped and said, "Their center is really good at running!" ”
Lantau held a water bottle and poured it violently, and after filling the water, he covered his head with a towel and wiped it, without saying a word, obviously very tired.
Dahe turned his head to the rest area of the Lingnan team next to him, Lingnan's starting five were naturally wiping their sweat, and no one looked like Imai who was almost tired and lying down.
Suzuki said, "Ohga, let's use the second lineup." You take a break and play again in the second half. ”
Dahe thought about it and agreed.
At the end of the timeout, Endo, Mizuhashi, Aoki, Maki, and Abe took off their coats together and went to the recorder to ask for a substitute.
Sho Imayoshi came to Taiga in surprise and said, "This doesn't look like your style, Taihe." ”
Dahe raised his head to look at him and said, "Don't underestimate anyone in Xiangbei!" ”
Imayoshi's smile became a little dangerous, and he said, "Oh? If that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless. You know, we only used 70% of our strength just now! ”
In fact, Dahe already felt something in his heart that Ling Nan didn't use all his strength for more than 10 minutes just now, but he didn't want to be soft, so he pouted and said, "You just blow it." ”
Imayoshi sneered twice and said no more.
Xiangbei serves, and the basketball is passed between the two guards Mizuhashi and Endo. Endo's height is only a little taller than Kuroko, and he can't force a breakthrough like Taiga, and the ball reaches the front court, and there is no place to pass.
Seeing that time was passing little by little, and he was about to violate the rules, Endo had to reluctantly make a jumper.
As soon as the ball was shot, Endo knew that because of Kuroko's interference, the action was a little deformed, and the ball could not be thrown, so he shouted: "Rebound!" ”
Sure enough, the basketball smashed on the rebound and bounced out.
Maki, Aoki, Asakawa and Mitsuhashi soared into the air, and eight big hands reached for the basketball in mid-air.
Maki was in the best position and was the first to receive the basketball, but before he could hold it firm, Mitsuhashi reached out a little and knocked the ball out of Maki's control. Aoki landed on the ground, then jumped up again, received the ball and added it to the basket.
22-26, Xiangbei's attack was completed again, and the score was stretched to 4 points for the first time.
Kuroko's dribbling remained unhurried and passed the ball to Asakawa's hands. The small forward position is the biggest hole in Xiangbei, and Asakawa jumper recovers two points.
24-26。
Endo organized the attack again, and he used his speed to smear Kuroko and go straight inside.
Asakawa made a stop, Endo made a quick stop, made a jumper, but passed the ball to the ground to the hands of Maki on the inside.
Maki spun around and jumped up and stuffed the ball into the basket.
24-28。
Mitsuhashi didn't expect Maki to turn around so quickly and shoot so resolutely, he couldn't prevent it, and raised his hand to signal: "My fault." ”
Imayoshi smiled, "It's okay, just call back." ”
Tian Oka couldn't stand it anymore on the sidelines, and roared angrily: "Jinji, how long are you going to be lazy, can't you even beat Xiangbei's substitute?" ”
Imyoshi apologized to Taoka again and again, and said, "Guys, it's time to work hard and beat their starters back!" ”
"Yes!" ×4。
