Chapter 137: Fighting the Mountain King (5)
Suzuki was apprehensive and sent the Taiga Five back on the court, but he didn't show his anxiety. The so-called general is brave, Suzuki knows that he will affect the players on and off the field, so he would rather say "come on" with a blank face than reveal the true emotions in his heart.
The society of the future is information-based, and Suzuki understands the importance of information better than anyone else, and he has always insisted on putting information first when leading the team to compete.
However, for the strong team of Sanno Industries, the information he obtained was far from enough.
After watching the two games, Suzuki at best has some understanding of the starting and tactics of the Mountain King, and has a general impression of their substitutes, which made him make corresponding arrangements before the start of the game, and made the relatively weak Xiangbei lead the entire first half, but this was not enough for Xiangbei to win the whole game.
The information Suzuki has collected about the Sannos is superficial and superficial, but their response to a strong enemy is not included.
Just like in the first half, after the initial attack was interrupted, the mountain king changed the way he passed, so that Xiangbei's steal only had a short-lived effect, and the outbreak of the sunshine part of Norimune, and the significance of sending Suzuki to Endo was slightly weaker by half, and it was not completed.
If it weren't for Xiangbei's in-depth study and understanding of the defensive tactics of the Mountain King and the attention to the protection of the point guard, their offense might only rely on the strong breakthrough of Dahe alone.
The storm never ends.
To what extent can Dahe, who is shoulder-to-shoulder in attack and defense, everyone has seen it in the county competition, in the face of the mountain king, the pair of defenders who are worthy of the first defense in the country, if only Dahe alone, Xiangbei can hold on to most of the half.
Go to the water bridge, go to Endo, and let him play point guard. This change in the starting lineup can be said to catch the mountain king off guard.
Suzuki wouldn't have thought that Sanno would have studied the Xiangbei race before the game.
The difference between the giants and the nouveau riche is that when they face weak opponents, although they will despise their opponents, they will definitely not despise the game.
Therefore, Endo's play did not have much effect on the defensive end, but the role on the offensive end was huge - although Xiangbei's offense did not play smoothly at all in the first half.
Surprise Soldier can only be used for a while.
Suzuki is not naïve to think that this trick of Xiangbei will make the other coach's coach have no way at all.
How will the King of the Mountains adjust?
Suzuki tried to put himself in his shoes at halftime, but couldn't come to any conclusion.
Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. I don't know who I am, one wins and one loses.
Suzuki is now a confidant at best, and he clearly knows how unreliable Xiangbei's current advantage on the field is.
On the front line, although the cave water was restricted, in order to prevent him, Miyagawa and Maki also spent a lot of energy and physical strength.
The two had the worst stamina of the starting five, and Suzuki would have to keep them all on the court if they did.
Although the five people of the Mountain King are the tallest center Cave Water is similar to Miyagawa and Maki, but none of the remaining four are shorter than Dahe, although Aoki can also play inside when he comes off the bench, but he is not tall enough, and he relies more on rushing to grab rebounds, and he will be worse than Maki defensively.
At the back, Masamune Hisakabe's performance in the first half was nothing short of a game, but this was only achieved with Taiga's full defense.
In the second half, Suzuki asked Ohga to be more involved in the attack, which inevitably relaxed the defense against him, and it is unknown whether Maki can effectively play the role of the first barrier. However, Suzuki knew that if he moved his whole body and transferred away the real wood, the performance of the cave water would definitely be more.
What is the effect of exchanging the outbreak of one person on the other side for the possible outbreak of two people on the other side, Suzuki still does not know, but on paper, Xiangbei is obviously at a loss.
Suzuki has no choice, though.
Judging from the last period of the first half, Endo's offensive mode has been somewhat adapted to by the opponent, if it is not changed, maybe Xiangbei will be plunged after the start of the second half, and then want to make up for it, but it may not be too late.
With a feeling of unease, Suzuki watched Taiga and others come on the court, and then watched Sanno's second-half start, a little relieved.
The King of the Mountains also made no substitution adjustments.
It's just a change in tactics, and Suzuki is confident that he can handle it.
As Suzuki expected, at the beginning of the second half, Sanno's tactics changed slightly, and small forward Abe began to join forces with Norimune Hisakabe to force Endo.
The jump ball was still won by Miyagawa, and the first attack of the second half was still launched by Xiangbei.
However, as soon as Endo got the ball, he found that there were two people standing in front of him at once, and his first reaction was to look at the positions of Yoshino and Maki. After the first half of the game, he knew very well that the line that the opponent let go of to pass the ball to Dahe could not pass the ball until it was absolutely necessary.
Yoshino's side, with Kubota following, although Maki was empty, but there was no passing line, and Abe, who was opposite him, was grabbing it from this direction!
In the face of the two people's sandwich attack, Endo did not panic, but calmly dribbled the ball and moved a step sideways to see if the opponent wanted to carry out the scramble to the end.
Part of the reason why Suzuki chose Endo to play Xiangbei's second point guard is because he likes his calmness on the court.
When Suzuki first arrived at the team, the five sophomores, no matter which one they were, had no point guard foundation.
Dahe's technique and physical strength ensure that whoever is his substitute will always be able to sit on the cold bench.
In the intra-team game, the point guard of the other team is generally played by the shadow of the river, Lantau with comprehensive skills.
Suzuki could not guarantee that after Taiga retired, there would be another talented point guard among the newly recruited first-year players, so he positioned Lantau as a versatile substitute at the No. 1 to No. 3 positions, and selected another second-year player to train as a backup point guard.
Aoki's physical condition can be said to be the closest to Taiga in the team, but in terms of his character that jumps out of the few tendons, Suzuki gave him up first.
Abe's height is a big problem, and playing the main force must be a defensive hole, give up.
Mizuhashi's body is too thin, and he can't resist it, so he gives up.
Imai was promising, but his good and bad form ultimately voted against Suzuki's reasons for choosing him. A point guard who often has convulsions sounds quite emotional, but it's really on his own team, and just thinking about it will make people shiver and give up.
In the end, Suzuki chose Endo, who was still playing small forward at the time.
Now, Endo is making a return for Suzuki's original choice!
