Chapter Seventy-Three: Xiangbei vs. Wuyuan (2)
The so-called "trap" in Suzuki and Momoi Kou is actually the "Jordan Rule" that every basketball fan is familiar with in later generations.
In this life, on the other side of the ocean, this law is only shown by Xiaohe, and at first glance, it is still very different from the one implemented by Suzuki.
Suzuki's tactics are a variant of the "Jordan's Rule", allowing him to score as long as the other four don't score, on the premise that no one can defend Hayama. Because he didn't want to introduce cold utilitarianism into the student game, Suzuki didn't arrange for Yanagisawa to carry out small moves between fouls and no fouls, and instead let the two defenders Kuroda and Mizuno actively assist in the defense, but the defense was not very tight, leaving enough gaps for Hayama to use to continue to break through.
Ye Shan needs to pass two or three people in a row every time he attacks, which looks wonderful and imposing, but in fact, his physical strength is also being consumed at a rate one or two times higher than usual under the repeated acceleration again and again. In this way, no matter how good Hayama's physical strength is and how strong his scoring ability is, it will be difficult to play the whole game efficiently.
According to Wuyuan's defensive tactics, Xiangbei also made targeted arrangements.
Although Mizuno is one of the players with the strongest ball control ability in the Xiangbei team, this time Suzuki specifically asked him not to let the ball stay in his hands for a long time when facing Hayama. This is to prevent Hayama from using his personal ability to break the ball and increase the number of offensive rounds of Takeshien.
Hayama's one-dragon breakthrough is extremely sharp, but Xiangbei's all-round blossom is stronger than him alone in terms of scoring efficiency.
Due to their absolute dominance in rebounding, Kuroda and Yanagisawa, two players with a certain three-point ability, opened up very much on offense and shot very decisively.
Xiangbei is not afraid of a low hit rate today, and only needs to strive to score points in every round.
In fact, Xiangbei's offensive tactics today are very similar to Hainan's tactics against Buri last week. The slight difference is that when Xiangbei occupies an absolute advantage on the inside, the three-point shots on the outside line are also frequently fired, while Hainan mainly relies on two insiders to beat the world, which is just a trade-off between the coaches of the two teams according to the different staffing of their own side, and the core concept is to bully the role players of Wuyuan to be weak.
At this time last year, Tsuda was still there, and Wuyuan fought with Hainan until the last moment before losing, but this year, when other teams continued to have strong newcomers joining, and only Wuyuan's strength did not rise but fell, Wuyuan faced Hainan again, and he didn't even hold up at halftime.
Facing Xiangbei today, it seems that the score of the two teams is very tight, and Xiangbei can only maintain a one- or two-point lead by virtue of the advantage of three-point shots, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the rhythm of the game is completely controlled by Xiangbei, if Wuyuan has no way to break this rhythm, there will be no chance of winning at all!
But is there a way for Wu Yuan to break this rhythm?
Not at all!
Coach Hayama is facing the same situation today as Suzuki faced last week.
The situation is acceptable, with a slight disadvantage, but it has never been able to turn the tables, and in the continuous catch-up, he exhausted his strength, and finally, he fell to the ground with a bang.
The only player that Coach Hayama can rely on is his nephew, Kotaro Hayama, a super-college-level ace.
However, Kotaro Hayama not only failed to respond to his uncle's expectations, but took the lead in dropping the chain in the second half of the first half.
In order to catch up with the difference caused by the three three-pointers hit by Xiangbei, Hayama began to try to hit three points inside in the middle of the game to improve efficiency.
But Akagi and Maki knew that he had this hand, and they tried their best to avoid it. Akagi was beaten by Hayama once due to his lack of experience, and Maki was like a curled hedgehog, so he had nowhere to start, but he was almost capped by Maki because of the distance.
Hayama had no choice but to continue looking for Akagi.
As I've said a long time ago, Akagi is an inward person, and he looks a little stunned on the surface, but in fact he has a strong learning ability. He had seen how Maki dodged fouls once, and he had a number in his heart, and this time when Hayama came over, he put Hayama in the same way.
Hayama didn't expect that Akagi, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, still had such a delicate mind, and when his heart was shaken, he was covered by Akagi's change of hand and layup.
Xiangbei took advantage of the situation to play a wave of fast down, and Yanagisawa made a layup.
25-19。
Xiangbei's lead expanded to 6 points!
The impact of this miss on Hayama was greater than everyone imagined. He began to get impatient, and the technique known as the "thundering dribble" continued to be used, and he began to score violently.
And when defending, he also took the initiative a lot and began to give Mizuno more pressing.
But, Hayama is crazy and completely in vain.
Hayama is just a small forward, in order to ensure the shooting rate, although his shooting range is very wide, but it is always limited to the three-point line, no matter how he plays, it is 2 points.
And with only 2 points and 2 points to get, it is impossible for Wu Yuan to catch up with the score.
Because their defense can't withstand the attack of Xiangbei at all!
Even if Hayama put all his energy and physical strength into defense, he couldn't improve the overall defensive quality of Wuyuan!
Xiangbei's center forwards and defenders are tied up in front of Xiangyang, but in the face of Wuyuan, there is a feeling of playing a low-level team.
This is not a delusion, but a fact.
If Ye Shan is removed, Wu Yuan may not even be able to get the position in the top eight.
There is no if in reality, with Hayama, Wuyuan will immediately transform into a strong team at the top four level in Kanagawa Prefecture!
Many teams and coaches tried their best to limit Hayama's play, such as Sunrise West, such as Hainan, but they all failed.
I have to admit that even if Hayama is put on the national stage, he will be an unstoppable existence.
In the past few years, only Xiangyang, Hainan and Lingnan have defeated Buri by virtue of their overall strength, but so far no team has been able to limit Hayama for the entire game.
The best in this regard is Hainan's Mu Shenyi, who used his strong body, abundant physical strength and all-round skills to make Hayama, who averaged 50 points per game, only score 30 points in the half, but he only lasted 36 minutes.
That's the best record yet.
Mu Shen is a rare excellent player, and other teams don't have such extravagant configurations.
However, Suzuki's approach today is like opening a window in a room with an iron door sealed, giving many coaches another way of thinking.
Many people have begun to face up to Suzuki, who has continuously led Xiangbei to the top four of the county competition.
Everyone can see clearly the staffing of the Xiangbei team, there are one or two excellent players, but on the whole, it is still not up to the first-class level in the county.
"This coach seems to be good." In the corner of the audience, someone praised.
