Seeing that the team failed to score for several rounds in a row, Hidetoku's coach Nakatani had to call a timeout to calm down the somewhat hot-headed players.

On the side of Xiangbei, Suzuki first praised everyone's performance in this short minute, and then reiterated that the tactics remained the same, and the success rate of fighting with the opponent was to be repeated, and finally asked Shakura alone: "Can you keep up with your physical strength?" ”

Shakura was the player who gave the most physical effort in the first half, not only to run aggressively in attack, to involve the opponent's defense, but also to keep up with Green at all times in defense. Especially when shooting from Midorima, he has to jump with all his might every time to reach a height high enough to interfere with Midorima.

After half a summer of hard training, the physical strength of the whole team in Xiangbei has been good, and Shacang is naturally no exception. However, the game is still a little short of 10 minutes away, and Shacang has already begun to gasp for breath.

Hearing Suzuki's question, Shakura waited for his breath to be a little more even, and then replied: "I can hold on a little longer, but it's just ......" He hesitated, but still didn't recklessly, and replied truthfully: "I'm afraid my physical strength won't last until the end of the first half." The main thing is that the anti-green room is too tired, and I can't relax for a moment, and I can't stop at all. ”

Suzuki said, "In that case, if you play with all your strength for another 5 minutes, you can come down and rest first." I'll ask Hotta to fight for you for a while. ”

Shacang nodded, "No problem." In fact, Midorima is such a big man, and the physical exertion of running must be greater than mine. We're all in first grade, and I'll admit he's great at shooting, but I don't believe he can double as much in terms of physical strength! ”

Suzuki smiled, "Okay." That's what you want to do! Get ready to play. ”

It seems that Coach Nakatani has instructed him to play more reasonably in the next game, not to shoot three points as soon as he gets the ball, but to have more transitions and strategies, and sometimes to enter the three-point line to grasp the opportunity to shoot.

Midorima's high shooting percentage makes him not become a team cancer, but the ball black hole still can't run. Now that he's changed his style of play a bit, it's made Xiudeok's offense a lot smoother.

The three highs of the inside line, Otsubo, Kimura and Miyachi became active, and all scored points.

Daping's violent dunk, Kimura's strong layup, and Miyaji's cut-in layup, the game was booming for a while.

However, Xiangbei Zaoki made up his belief that no matter how Xiude scored, as long as he ensured his attack, he was not moved at all, and he fought hard with Xiude to attack, and he did not relax at all.

Zhenmu has become the most critical part of Xiangbei's attack, and if he can shoot by himself, he can also use his height advantage to take advantage of his height to take the situation around him into his eyes, and pass the ball to the right position to form an assist.

The way he pulled out to play was to bully Kimura for not being as flexible as him, and Miyachi was flexible but not as tough as him, but this was not putting himself in the bag between Kimura and Miyachi.

Kimura and Miyachi are not mediocre players, and being able to help the team fight their way out of Tokyo, a fierce battle zone second only to Kanagawa, is a testament to their quality.

It's just that they met an opponent who was on the verge of his peak.

Over the years, in Kanagawa alone, Maki has played against countless inside masters. Atsushi Shihara, Shogo Ashizaki, Joichiro Hirobayashi, Ayumu Fushi, Shinji Ryokawa, Eiji Tokuda, Yuito Hoshina, Kosuke Wakamatsuke, Akihiro Okamoto, Daiyu Nakahara......

He has lost, and he has lost more and won less, but this defeat has become a valuable experience in his high school basketball career, sharpening him, allowing him to accelerate his growth and grow to a real trump card that can drag the team forward like his predecessors!

In the 15th minute of the first half, when Suzuki replaced Shakura with Hotta, Xiangbei had maintained a five-point lead.

Hotta's appearance made Xiangbei's scoring point one less, but at the same time, it also sealed Hidetoku's strongest scoring weapon.

Midorima dragged the sand warehouse tiredly, and he didn't feel good, his face was covered with sweat, his hair was pulled down in bunches, and there were a few drops of sweat on the lenses of his glasses, but he didn't have time to wipe them off.

Now the new force with a higher height than Shakura came up, and in just two rounds, Midorima got a block from Hotta.

Mizuno got the ball and launched a long pass to Yanagisawa, who made a layup to extend the difference to six points.

After being covered by substitute Hotta, Midorima played more carefully, but did not continue to miss, but the momentum of Hidetoku's chasing points was interrupted all at once.

After that, both sides made some mistakes and hit irons, and finally the score of the first half was fixed at 55-51.

Midorima stepped on the line on his last jump, and only counted 2 points, almost crossing his half-court score to the 30 mark.

Midorima was excellent overall in the first half, and although it looked like he had a lot of chances, the key thing was that he went in most of them. Except for the two times that were blocked by Maki and Hotta, Midorima's remaining 7 three-pointers and 4 2-point shots did not miss.

On the side of Xiangbei, two third-year players, Maki and Yanagisawa, each scored 19 points, and the remaining Shakura, Akagi and Mizuno scored 7, 6, and 4 points respectively, all of which failed to make a double.

However, Suzuki did not look at each other's contributions, picked out a few of their bright spots to praise, and then arranged the tactics for the second half.

This year, Akagi's batch of high-quality newcomers joined, giving Suzuki several more cards to play. Although the cards are not large, they can be combined and played, so that they will not be as unplayed as last year.

Suzuki's lineup for the second half was center Akagi, power forward Ishii, scoring guard Kuroda, point guard Endo, and outside defender Hotta.

It is said that Hotta's mid-range shooting has not been practiced so far, and it is really not good to be considered a scoring guard.

This lineup replaced all the starters except Akagi at the break.

Maki led the attack in northern Xiangbei, and Yanagisawa was shouldering the dual task of guarding the high tail and counterattacking the top soldiers, and the physical exertion of the two was not small, so they rested together at this time. As for the substitution of the position of water point guard, Suzuki is more concerned about Endo's stronger single defense ability and can maintain a high-intensity defense against Takao alone.

Kuroda's play, although it strengthened Xiangbei's offensive ability, but also made Xiangbei's defensive strength on the outside a little lower.

Suzuki sent on the bench to start the second half, not only to drain the opponent's main body, but also to hope that the substitutes can contribute at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

Judging from the performance in the first half, Xiude's tactics are to rely on the green room on the outside and Daping on the inside.

Suzuki let Maki rest, so he had to leave Akagi on the field and continue to contain Otsubo.

Otsubo was Xiudeok's teammate with the highest shooting percentage in the first half, winning all six shots. He played very calmly, he didn't have a good chance to distribute the ball again, and he would shoot himself when the opportunity was right. Of the 12 points he scored, 10 came from dunks, and the rest was a follow-up shot after grabbing an offensive rebound.

This is also the main reason why he can get something every time he shoots.

However, to Suzuki's surprise, the lineup of Shude in the second half also changed greatly, which made him feel very unfamiliar.
