Chapter 27: The Capture of Buri (1)

Straightening things out of the team, Suzuki shifted his focus to the imperminent match against Bururi before he knew it.

In fact, the preparations for this game have been done for a long time.

From the beginning of the grouping, it has been judged that among the several strong teams in the district, the most likely to come to Xiangbei is Wuli, so it has long been concerned.

As Buri has gone all the way, defeated the declining Haoqiang Minowa, and the sun has long since ceased to be beautiful, Xiangbei, as a bystander, has analyzed Buri's lineup and tactics very thoroughly.

After watching the video of Buri's game, others are fine, but Suzuki was suddenly surprised, feeling that this year's Buri is too much like Xiangbei. is not the Xiangbei he is in charge of now, but the Xiangbei in the original world line, which is in charge of Coach Anxi.

The person who makes Suzuki the most jealous in Buri is their coach Takeuchi Genta.

This coach Takeuchi is a former national player who was active around the same time as Hidetoku coach Nakatani and Seirin coach Harasawa, and is a veteran of the basketball world. Like Coach Anthy, he is old, fat, and more difficult to deal with than he used to be.

After graduating from last year's team's core team, the Inoue brothers, he quickly transformed the team from a team that has always focused on positional offense to a fast-breaking, projection-oriented outside team.

This change in style also caught Minowa, who was similar in strength, off guard, and all the established tactics were nullified, and he was pinned down from the beginning of the game, and the whole game was suppressed, and he couldn't turn over at all.

The captain of Bururi, now it is the turn of point guard Kasamatsu. He played against Xiangbei two years ago, and almost buried Xiangbei's recovery in the knockout round. He is the most unsimilar player in this team to the opposing players in the original world Xiangbei.

As a point guard, Kasamatsu is undoubtedly somewhat mediocre. His passing skills can only be described as solid, and he rarely makes mistakes, but he also rarely makes a second pass that makes people shine and want to shout excitedly. However, the reason why Kasamatsu has been the starter since the first year and has become the captain now is not his barely passable organizational ability, but his extraordinary offensive ability. If it weren't for the fact that Buri hadn't had a second point guard above the second level, Kasamatsu might have been the county's star quarterback.

Kasamatsu's speed and explosiveness are excellent, and he is good at breaking through people, and he also has a good mid-range shooting, shooting from the three-point line, and is a player who can attack on his own at any time.

What's even more commendable is that Kasamatsu is extremely motivated on the field, and he will create opportunities with non-stop running before the whistle blows at the end of the match.

This is a player who can't let his guard down at all.

Fortunately, on the side of Xiangbei, Mizuno's strength is enough to contag him, and even if Mizuno is dragged by him to lack physical strength, Sakuragi has the ability to overwhelm him.

This captain of Buri, who gave both Hiwashita and Minowa a headache, was the person Suzuki was the least worried.

By Kasamatsu's side, he is still in charge of Buri's appearance, and Moriyama, a three-point shooter. Purely in terms of three-point shots, Moriyama and Mitsui are the same kind of people, once the feeling is convulsive, it is out of control, no matter whether the opponent's defense is tight or loose, no matter how you shoot, you can score anyway.

For Moriyama's defense, Suzuki was prepared to keep him from shooting hot from the start, or even let him get a chance to shoot. Suzuki's concern in the scoring position is whether his own shooter will be locked out. Moriyama is equally known for his tenacious perimeter defense and his ability to score with frequent outbursts. While he is a six-vein divine sword that is not good from time to time, he is also a hanging blade fishing net array that is extremely entangled, so that if people are not careful, they will be blocked from the sky and have no way to enter the ground.

For this position, Suzuki is ready to have Shakura as the starter. Shakura's defensive ability is outstanding, enough to limit Moriyama's attack, and his way of scoring is a three-point in the bottom corner, Moriyama defends him, the ball can't pass, and if he doesn't defend him, the three points of the cold will make Buri very uncomfortable.

The inner line is now a weak area in Buri.

Since the Inoue brothers graduated, Buri has not seen a disadvantage in average height, but there is a hole in absolute height, and only center forward Kobori has reached a height of 1.9 meters.

Such an internal configuration, five years ago, could still be played, but in Kanagawa, where the twin towers are popular, the flaws are obvious.

It is said that Buri is now focusing on fast attack tactics, and the heavy attack and light defense are very unbalanced, but this is also a helpless move by Coach Takeuchi.

Since the rise of Xiangbei and Wuyuan, Buri has never entered the ranks of the top four in the county, so in recent years, basketball seedlings have been emerging, but Buri has not gained much benefit from it. Kasamatsu, who was packed from Yokota Kunijuni, has already taken a lot of face for Takeuchi to dig up his team, and if he can't produce good results in this last year, if he wants to recruit good players in the future, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult.

After Kobori entered high school, he played as a power forward, but after a few years, his height has not improved, and he is still only enough to be a power forward, and the center position is purely to catch ducks on the shelf. Fortunately, Buri's fast-attacking style of play does not rely on the performance of the center, which can largely cover up his weaknesses. However, once the offense and defense switch to positional warfare, Kobori's weaknesses will be quite obvious. In the match against Minowa, if Kobori could have a highlight-like performance, it would be difficult for Minowa to hold out until the halfway point of the second half before collapsing due to physical exhaustion.

Buri has two options at the power forward position. One is Hayakawa, who is specially configured to make up for Kobori's lack of height, and is very good at grabbing rebounds. The other is the team's original ace Imamura.

Imamura used to play small forward, but this year the team added a new first-year player who outperformed him in all aspects, and he naturally lost his place.

However, Coach Takeuchi was not willing to waste such a first-class player on the bench, so under normal circumstances, Imamura was arranged to play as a power forward to enhance the team's scoring ability.

However, Suzuki can't conclude that in the match against Shohoku, Imamura will be the starter.

Xiangbei's center Akagi is the county's first center, Kobori can only be regarded as a qualified center, the gap between the two is too big, in order not to be blown up on the inside, Suzuki feels that it is a wise choice for Takeuchi to send Hayakawa to play the starter.

However, no matter who the starting power forward of Buri is, if there is no accident on the Xiangbei side, it is Maori. Suzuki believes that with the strength of Mori, he will not fall into disadvantage in the confrontation with Hayakawa and Imamura.

In the Bururi lineup, the only thing Suzuki feels threatened is their first-year newcomer, the new ace who squeezed Imamura out of place, Ryota Kuse!
