Chapter Thirty-Nine: Takashi Tsuda's specialty is playing ball

"Hello, I'm the consultant of the basketball club of Xiangbei University, Hirofumi Suzuki. When you meet for the first time, please advise. ”

"Hello, I'm the coach of the Wuyuan School Basketball Team, Hayama Guangfan. When you meet for the first time, please advise. ”

Even though he said almost the same greeting, Suzuki was inexplicably alienated from Coach Hayama's perception, and he didn't know what to say all of a sudden, so he stopped saying more and directly asked Dahe to take Takeshi and the others to the locker room first.

Looking at Coach Hayama's figure and looking at it again, Suzuki seemed to have discovered the reason.

Quite different from Suzuki's casual and casual dress, Coach Hayama, who looks to be over forty years old, is very formal in his dress. He wears a dark blue suit with a white shirt with a buttoned collar and a coffee-colored tie. Although his hair is a little thinning because of his age, Coach Hayama's hair is meticulously combed and his style is fixed with hairspray, which gives people a heavy sense of oppression.

Because of the need for dinner, Wu Yuan came half an hour earlier than the agreed time, some people went to eat first, and five people directly changed their clothes and came out to warm up.

"Arima-kun," Suzuki beckoned, "who is Kotaro Hayama?" ”

Arima glanced at it and replied, "Superintendent Suzuki, none of these five people are Hayama. Hayama's appearance is very recognizable, and he has dyed his yellow hair. ”

"Oh." Suzuki vaguely remembered that there was indeed a yellow-haired player in the Wuyuan formation, who looked a little thin, but he didn't care. I didn't expect this person to be Kotaro Hayama.

Suzuki said to Oha again: "Ohga-san, since Kotaro Hayama is not playing, I want to ask you what you mean, are you preparing to start the game and force Hayama out?" Or are you going to wait until Hayama comes on before making a move? ”

Taiga thought for a moment and said, "A mere Hayama Kotaro is not worth targeting. If it was an official match, I would have chosen to start the game and take advantage of the opponent's ace not to be there. If he's slow to respond, pull the score to the point where he despairs! However, since it is a warm-up game, let's let everyone practice more, the current Xiangbei, even if there is no me present, is not a vulnerable weak team! ”

"In that case, I'm going to have a starting lineup that's a little more athletic," Suzuki said. On the other side are all first- and second-year players, so let's take a look at how their offense goes. ”

Speaking of this, Suzuki shouted: "Maki, Yoshino, Aoki, Endo, Lantau, you five save your energy first, and wait for the start of the game." ”

Greetings, changing clothes, drinking water, warm-up, half an hour passed unconsciously, with a whistle from Arima, today's third warm-up game, Xiangbei vs. Wuyuan, officially began.

Saying that the mouth of eating people is soft, and the hands of people are short, Arima once again suppressed his teammates and grabbed the power to blow the game.

The five people on the field of Takeshien, the back number of the clothes is 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and the number 5 is the team deputy Tsuda, and as Ruma said, the number of the No. 4 captain is given to the new ace, Hayama Kotaro.

Competing for the ball with Maki is No. 6 Matsunaga, who is about the same height as Maki and Yoshino, Maki has a slight advantage and points the ball to his own half, Aoki moves to the side, controls the ball, and then passes to point guard Endo.

Before going on the court, Suzuki's tactics were to run more, cut more air, and shoot when he had the chance, regardless of the success rate.

Of the five people on the field, everyone has a shot, but they are not very strong.

However, tonight's Xiangbei surprised Suzuki at the beginning and directly hit a 12-4 attack wave.

Yoshino and Aoki each scored two points on an empty layup.

Maki was on the edge of the restricted area and hit two catches and turns.

Lantau ran out of the open space, making 1 of 2 shots.

After receiving five assists, Endo made a stop-and-shoot of his own.

The fiery feel and the scoring points that bloomed everywhere made Wu Yuan's defense take care of one or the other, and he didn't know who would score next.

Coach Hayama's face was a little unsightly, and he yelled twice on the sidelines, and the defensive positions of the players on the field changed from regional joint defense to man-marking.

After that, Takeshien's form improved, and No. 5 Tsuda made consecutive jumpers from the outside, gradually catching up with the score.

After following a person at any time, the shots of the Xiangbei players were interfered with to a great extent, except for the real wood with a high shooting point and a very different style of play from the ordinary center, Aoki and Endo's mid-range shots after have hit iron, and Xiangbei shifted the attack to the area of the inside line.

Takeshi's big and small forwards No. 7 Nakanishi and No. 8 Akita are just over 180cm tall, and their athleticism is not too strong.

But Matsunaga was already very embarrassed just in the face of a real wood that often floated out, and he really couldn't cope with it with the addition of real wood.

When it was three-quarters of the first half, the score came to 39-36, driven by Xiangbei, the pace of both teams was very fast, and an average attack took less than 15 seconds. It's just that at such a fast pace, the hit rate of both sides is not high, less than 50%.

Xiangbei's lead was reduced to 3 points.

The primary contributor to Wu Yuan's chasing points is their team vice, No. 5 Tsuda. He performed brilliantly, shouldering the double burden of organization and offense alone, sometimes breaking through the ball, sometimes making a stop-and-go jump shot, and was very efficient.

What's even more surprising is that after the high-intensity 15-minute game, whether it is the players from Xiangbei or Wuyuan, many people have been sweating back and forth, and their movements have slowed down.

On the other hand, the two physical fitness kings in Xiangbei, Yoshino and Aoki, were also a little gasping at this time, and when they ran under the basket, they took the initiative to give up the slam dunk and chose a more labor-saving layup.

As a result, 10 minutes later, the game became a stage for Tsuda to shine alone.

Every time Tsuda scored or assisted a wonderful point, the Takeshi women's cheerleaders on the sidelines let out a scream that overpowered the men in the audience, even the dignified Amakusa Shino.

The Minister of Information, Ranko Hatata, did not say anything, but the frequency of the shutter of her camera was very high at these moments.

Although most of the rest of the players on the field, except for Yoshino, are rotation players and substitutes, even if his physical strength collapses, Suzuki still has enough manpower to replace.

However, under the influence of the high-decibel noise, Suzuki was a little impatient and desperate to kill Tsuda's momentum, so he pointed to Imai and said, "Imai, you replace Aoki and work with Lantau to strangle that Tsuda for me!" ”

In the daily intra-team games of Xiangbei, Imai and Lantau often join forces to defend Dahe, and the cooperation is quite tacit. No matter how much this Tsuda says, he can't compare to Taihe, with these two people, he wants to score in a row like before, but it won't be so easy!

Moreover, Imai's outside attack ability is stronger than Aoki's, and his play will make Xiangbei's inside and outside lines relatively balanced.

"Red team, Xiangbei substitution, under the 8th, on the 9th." Recorder Kawai shouted.
