Even though it was not the first time he had led the team out of Kanagawa, Suzuki was so excited that he didn't sleep for half the night, tossing and turning in bed, and the bits and pieces of this prefectural competition kept appearing in front of him.

In fact, not only Suzuki, including Maki, who was already most of the main force the year before last, all the Xiangbei players didn't sleep well this night. By the afternoon of the next day, when they gathered, they all had dark circles under their eyes, looked at each other awkwardly, and the smiles on the corners of their mouths couldn't stop popping out.

Seeing this, Suzuki told Momoi and Mizuno to reduce the intensity of their training in the past few days, so that some people would not be overexcited and unable to control themselves under fatigue.

And Suzuki himself, together with Momoi and Mizuno, counted the data of these games.

This year, Xiangbei has gone all the way, in fact, it is very dangerous, and it is not a smooth road.

In the quarterfinals against Lingnan, relying on the lives of the three armies, Xiangbei narrowly won by 1 point, and in the game against Hainan, Xiangbei also reversed at the last moment and won by 2 points.

Although he won these two opponents, in all fairness, the strength of these two opponents is still above Xiangbei. Xiangbei can win, on the one hand, it is well prepared, properly commanded, and the players are hard enough, and on the other hand, there is also the factor of luck.

Even Suzuki himself can't guarantee another fight and a repeat of the previous results.

However, in the two games against Xiangyang and Buri, if you lose, you lose without temper, and if you win, you will win as a matter of course, and the score is completely a display of the overall strength comparison.

Captain Maki's performance is a barometer of the team's overall performance, and when he plays well, the team wins.

In the three round-robin finals plus the last game of the knockout round against Lingnan, in these four high-level games, Maki scored an average of 14.7 points, 8.5 assists, and 6 rebounds per game.

It is his internal and external response that effectively makes up for Xiangbei's weakness in the small forward position, and at the same time, his skillful cooperation with Yanagisawa is also a major offensive weapon for Xiangbei. Half of Maki's assists were brushed through Yanagisawa, and of the remaining half, eighty percent were given to Akagi.

Akagi's scoring is not much, averaging 8.5 per game, and the number of rebounds is only 5.2 per game, but he is definitely an indispensable member of this Xiangbei team. It is his existence, and even continuous progress, that has gradually liberated the real wood, so that Xiangbei's scoring firepower has never been interrupted.

Nowhere was this more evident than in the final match against Hainan.

Especially in the last round, it was Akagi who forced Damen to give up his own score, passed the ball to Liang Chuan, and gave Maki the opportunity to chase back and block Liang Chuan, and won the key point of victory and defeat for Xiangbei. And when Maki spared no effort to rush from his own basket to the opponent's basket, it was Akagi who blocked the gate and Liangchuan successively, so that they could not catch up with Maki and block the victory of Xiangbei.

Yanagisawa was the most consistent player in the team in these four games. With an average of 13.2 points and 2.5 assists per game, it looks average, even shabby, but if you look at the opponents Yanagisawa plays against each game, you can know how difficult it is for him to play this data. In the small forward position, Lingnan has Baoke, Xiangyang has Hiiragi, and Wuyuan has Yeshan, all of whom are the ace scorers of each team. Only Hainan's Ohara is not the team's trump card, but its strength is not below Yanagisawa. Yanagisawa is not only responsible for scoring, but also for defense and covering. Suzuki is already quite satisfied with this data.

The performance of the main scoring guard Kuroda has been up and down. In his best game, he shot 6-of-8 from three-point range, while when he was in poor form, he shot 3-of-8 from three-point range.

Kuroda had a lot of shots, many of which were created for him by his teammates through pick-and-roll coverage, but overall, he didn't shoot well from the field, shooting 62.5 percent from three-point range and exactly 50 percent from two-point range.

Compared to him, the bench Woodet has better stats, shooting 77.7% from three-point range. However, Suzuki chose Kuroda as the main force, and usually listed Takeyo as a substitute, although Kuroda is a senior in the team, but it is not without other reasons.

Compared with Kuroda, Takeyo's off-ball running is inferior and is easier to be targeted. And in terms of defensive intensity, Kuroda is also slightly better than Wu Dai.

In the case of Xiangbei's overall dominance, Wu Dai's weakness has not yet been highlighted, and when the opponent's outside defense is tight, his role will become much smaller.

In the final period with Hainan, Suzuki sent Wu Dai on the court and wanted an extra three-point score. But after Wu Dai came on the court, he didn't even have a chance to make a shot, and only contributed an assist.

Suzuki can easily make trade-offs between Kuroda and Takeyo at the point guard position, but on the point guard side, he is often a little hesitant.

Endo and Mizuno both have similar statistics. Endo is averaging 6 points and 8 assists per game, while Mizuno is averaging 2.5 points and 6.2 assists per game. Endo's stats look better because he has more playing time, and overall the efficiency of the two is relatively close.

Fortunately, there is still a difference in the characteristics of these two, Endo is fast and can create opportunities through individual breakthroughs when he can't find an opportunity, while Mizuno's small skills are better, and when he has to make a point guard shot, he has a higher shooting percentage.

This allows Suzuki to make targeted arrangements against different opponents.

Among the rest of the players, Ishii and Shakura were able to get some playing time in every game.

Ishii was a substitute for the two on the inside, mostly replacing Akagi. He rarely took shots inside, but he was able to take most of them, shooting an astonishing 90.9 percent from the field.

And Shakura's main responsibility after coming on the court was defense, and there were not many chances, but he still scored 21 points in a limited time.

Mu Twilight is the team's third choice at the small forward and shooting guard positions. He cherishes the few minutes he has played. Among the players on the perimeter, Mu Dui's mid-range shooting percentage is the highest of all, reaching 80%. However, Mu Dui's three-point shooting rate is still lower, shooting 2 of 6, and it still needs to be hard work.

Suzuki was known for his ability to rotate among Kanagawa's coaches, but even so, he couldn't get everyone on the team to play at this high level.

The two substitute power forwards, Hotta and Kawabe, had few chances. Hotta had a few minutes of playing time against Shoyo because Akagi and Maki were physically exhausted, while Kawabe could only cheer on his teammates on the bench from start to finish.

Of the two, Suzuki is particularly worried about Kawabe. Even if Maki graduates next year, the internal competition in Xiangbei will not be small.

Maori has promised to come to Xiangbei, and with his physical condition, Ishii's main position will be threatened by then.

Suzuki felt the need to talk to the two of them about whether they wanted to add more training programs.

As a rule, once the data is counted, it is made available to everyone. With the comparison of specific values, those who want to go up can strengthen in a directional way, and those who want to keep the main position can also improve according to their own strengths and weaknesses.

When there are no external opponents for the time being, creating some internal competition is a small trick for Suzuki to ensure the quality of training.

In this way, there are more things in Momoi. Mizuno is smart, but there are many things she still has to learn.
