Chapter 70: Soaring
Suzuki laughed in agreement, then thought for a while and asked, "The defense of the Mountain King is already super high school, infinitely close to the university level. The university-level defensive intensity you are talking about should be the level of the giant in your university, which is stronger than the mountain king back then, right? ”
Dahe shook his head and said: "The strength of the players can't keep up, even if I go down in person, what is in front of Rukawa is at most the average level of the university." The defensive intensity should be a little higher than that of the Mountain King back then, but the gap is not big. ”
Suzuki frowned and said, "This year's Mountain King is known as the strongest ever. I've also looked at several people who already have the strength to get a main position in the university now. The line of defense you put up, compared with the Mountain King's, it is really impossible to say which is stronger or weaker! ”
Dahe raised his eyebrows and said: "This is a simple, unbreakable defense that Rukawa can't break, don't we still have Sakuragi?" When the time comes, it will be good to rely on him. It's just that in the next day and a half, we have to find a place to practice a little. ”
Suzuki said, "I'll leave the problem of the venue to me. You're in charge of training, so just keep your energy under control. ”
Dahe Road: "Of course. ”
During the conversation, the two coaches in Xiangbei no longer took Chang Cheng seriously, and at the same time, they didn't take the next Darong to heart.
It's not carelessness, it's confidence in your team.
The Hojo Four Merchants in the B file were bloodbathed in Xiangbei, and it can be said that this Fukuoka team is a parallel commodity that is not worthy of the name. And when another B-class team, the traditional Haoqiang Changcheng of Shizuoka, a strong basketball county, was also pressed to the ground by Xiangbei and had no power to fight back, the concept of Xiangbei being a strong team not only appeared in the hearts of the audience, but also took root in the hearts of all Xiangbei players.
We are a strong team, we are strong!
Unlike Mr. Anzai, Suzuki generally does not use these slogans to allude to the players.
At heart, Suzuki is a very realistic person.
He believes in pragmatism, and even if it is to boost morale, Suzuki will specify what strengths you have and what weaknesses your opponent has, and attack your opponent to achieve victory.
The advantage of this is that it allows the players to convince themselves and assert their authority.
The disadvantage is that most players, after defeating their opponents, will also feel that there is a part of their victory, and it is not that their own strength is completely above their opponents.
Since Dahe graduated, Xiangbei's explosiveness has gradually weakened, and the opponent who should win will not miss, and the opponent who can't win will not be able to fight at a critical time.
Fortunately, the river is back. Not long after graduation, he can be used as a benchmark to measure everyone's strength, so that everyone can really feel what grade they are on.
At the beginning, for Akagi, Suzuki didn't know how much saliva it took for him to clarify his self-positioning. And when it comes to Dahe's side, as long as he says that your skills and your physical fitness have reached such a level, and you are at this level, then Akagi will immediately correct his mentality, so that he will not almost step into the air and collapse.
That's the power of star players.
Of course, if it weren't for the series of brilliant records created by Suzuki's team, no matter how much Taiga told everyone that you were strong, it would be a castle in the air and useless.
However, now that there is both strength and the mentality of a strong man, after such a Xiangbei has played a momentum, it is not something that ordinary teams can fight against.
This so-called general team not only includes Chang Cheng, who is at the top of the B file, but also Da Rong, who is the backbone of the A class.
It was still only half time, and Xiangbei led Chang Cheng by a large score, and then used the substitutes to complete the rest of the game.
This result hurt Daei, who had to fight hard to get through.
Generally speaking, in the second round of each year, there are always a lot of weak teams that get into the second round or even the third round by relying on rookies pecking at each other.
However, this year's Daei is obviously not the lucky one.
Their opponent in the second round is a strong opponent, Urayasu Business from Chiba Prefecture.
Under the leadership of the ace player Qing Shuitai, the results have been poor in the past two years, and Urayasu, who has been reduced to the B file, broke out with the combat effectiveness of the team that is not inferior to the A team, and once played with Daiei inseparable.
However, no matter how strong Shimizu's scoring ability is, compared to Tsuchiya who can mobilize the whole team, it is still inferior. When Shimizu's stamina dropped, Daiei gradually pulled away and held on to the advantage until the last minute of the game.
However, Qing Shui's struggle also made the main forces of Daei consume a lot of physical strength. What's even more disadvantageous is that Daiei's tactical play style was also fully seen by Suzuki and Taihe, and they figured out a plan to deal with it.
In the match on August 3, the second game of the third division, after watching the first place in the Sanno lightly win Kashimura, Darong and the players from Xiangbei stepped onto the court to fight for the last quarter-finals in the region.
In the original world line, there is such a saying, called Xiangyang without Fujizhen, just an ordinary strong team, and with Fujizhen Xiangyang, it is a strong team that can win on the stage of the national competition.
This sentence is also very appropriate for Daei.
Compared to that Shoyang, Daiei's remaining players are more evenly matched, and there is no master like Hanagata, nor a mediocre player like Ito. Everyone in Daiei is a good player, but no one can step up when Tsuchiya can't play a role.
In terms of overall strength, Xiangbei is undoubtedly above Darong, fighting with dignity and winning the opponent.
It's just that for the next day's match with the Mountain King, Daiei was deprived of the right to even lose vigorously.
Since Daiei with Tsuchiya and Daiei without Tsuchiya are two teams that are completely incomparable, then the one that is most beneficial to Xiangbei is naturally the Daiei without Tsuchiya.
Don't get me wrong, with Xiangbei's strength, it is impossible to kill the opponent's ace with lethal tactics, but with Sakuragi, Xiangbei has implemented the BOX-1 redemption tactic, which is completely stress-free.
Mizuno still started the game and served as the team's commander.
Sakuragi, on the other hand, played as a striker and kept an eye on Tsuchiya all over the court. Wherever Tsuchiya goes, Sakuragi follows him, as if it is a piece of kraft candy that can't be shaken off, sticking to Tsuchiya's side, making Tsuchiya unable to exert his skills.
What made Tsuchiya even more frustrated was that Sakuragi not only had strong defensive ability, but also seemed to have bottomless physical strength, and his disorderly running not only did not get rid of Sakuragi, but instead made his physical strength fall into a state of aggravation.
There are no cherry trees in Xiangbei, there are red wood, there are flowing rivers, there are water fields, there are Wu Dai, internal and external scoring, organizational breakthroughs, and various routines are completely unsuccessful because of the lack of cherry trees.
However, Daiei is different, losing the tandem of Tsuchiya, and the other four are completely like a plate of loose sand, although they work hard and fight very hard, but they have little success.
After halftime, Xiangbei continued the routine of the first two rounds, leading by more than 20 points, and began to rotate as substitutes.
The only one who didn't rotate was Sakuragi.
It is true that Tsuchiya is Daiei's death hole, and strangling him at this point can make Daiei's tactical system collapse.
This is obvious to the vast majority of people.
But the vast majority of teams don't use this type of targeted play.
Because Tsuchiya is also the strongest point of Daiei.
If you want to prevent death from Tsuchiya, the Xiangbei team is as good as a cloud, but only Sakuragi can do it.
As long as Tsuchiya is still on the field, Sakuragi must also stay on the field!
In the end, Tsuchiya, like his previous opponent, Shimizu, held on until the last second of the match, and even though victory was hopeless, he did not give up on his match.
And Sakuragi also accompanied Tsuchiya to the end of the game.
Carry something through to the end.
