Mizuno sent the ball to the low position and launched a strong attack continuously, and the suppression of the opponent by the two inside lines in Xiangbei was very obvious, both of which were the type of players who relied on their bodies, and naturally the side with high height and long arms had the upper hand.

Miuradai is dominated by the outside line coordination of Oda and Saeki. The level of these two people can be called the first-class in the county, and there is only one player of this level in Xiangbei, but Maki was left off the field by Suzuki.

Seeing that Xiangbei's outside line suffered losses again and again, canceling out the advantage of the inside line, Maki leaned to Suzuki's side and wanted to ask to play.

Suzuki knew what he meant, shook his hand and said, "It's not time yet." We have an advantage. ”

As Suzuki said, even if Xiangbei can't prevent Oda and Saeki, the score is still Xiangbei ahead.

After all, the scoring efficiency of the outside line is not as good as that of the inside line, and no matter how good the pitcher is, there are times when he hits the iron, but Akagi and Ishii are a dozen under the basket, if it weren't for Miuradai's overall height advantage, and occasionally able to snatch rebounds from Akagi and Ishii, the point difference would have been widened.

Miuradai's coach, surnamed Harada, is an experienced coach, and he quickly noticed Kuwata's abnormality and offered him a few words, but it didn't work. After seeing Miuradai's trailing score reach 3 points, he couldn't help it and picked up a big tall man from the bench to replace Kuwata.

There are a total of ten players from afar today, in addition to the five starters, the remaining five are also very tall, one meter and eight meters up.

The new entrant was the tallest among them, with a visual measurement of more than 1.9 meters, and sure enough, he stood with Akagi on the field, which was on par.

Akagi competed with him for a while, and found that he was not an opponent who could be easily squeezed away, so he gave up his intention to score and passed the ball to Ishii.

Ishii didn't have a good way to face Nanshan, who was transferred to the No. 4 position, so he had to pour the basketball out again.

The direction of Ishii's pass was Yanagisawa, but when Yanagisawa received the ball, he was leaned on by Oda, lost his center of gravity, and did not hold the ball steady, and the basketball was taken by Saeki, who was following him.

Saeki turned around and handed the ball to Shimoda, who received the ball sideways, burst into the half of Xiangbei, aimed at the basket, and threw a three-pointer to equalize the score in one fell swoop.

It was this adjustment of less than half a second, Kuroda chased after Shimoda, jumped up and slashed at Shimoda's just shot, hitting the ball out of the sideline, buying time for his teammates to return to defense.

After the height of the inside line can be antagonized with Xiangbei, Miuratai's shots on the outside line have increased significantly, Oda stopped and threw off Yanagisawa, and a mid-range shot failed to throw, Saeki shouted, let the two companions on the inside line resist Akagi and Ishii, rushed to the basket himself, jumped high, and made up for the dunk.

At 16-15, Xiangbei's lead shrank to 1 point.

The inside advantage is no longer there, Xiangbei can no longer suppress Miuratai's attack, and his own attack has begun to become unsmooth, by the halfway point, Xiangbei has fallen a little behind, all relying on Kuroda to use a long-range shot in time to overtake the score by 1 point.

Suzuki glanced at the restless Maki, nodded at him, pointed to Ishii, and told him to register for the game.

Xiangbei, who posed for the twin towers, immediately stabilized his position. The energetic Maki once again made Miurada's power forward position an ATM for his side. There are many players who are more than 1.8 meters tall in Miuradai, but they can't find a second one who is more than 1.9 meters, so they have to let Maki continue to pierce his own basketball net with mid-range shots.

At the same time, the cooperation of the three third-year players also raised Xiangbei's defense to a higher level, forcing Saeki and Shimoda to make hasty shots and keep hitting the iron.

Seeing that his side was in an unfavorable situation again, Coach Harada made a gesture to let Oda take the lead attack, and the other four people surrounded Oda to block and cover, so that he could rush into the Xiangbei basket to kill the inside line.

Akagi didn't check for a while, and he fouled twice in a row, making a fuss.

Thanks to Maki, he had seen a lot of Dahe's style of play before, and he stepped forward, and Dai Akagi suffered a time, which also made Akagi slow down.

Akagi is a smart man, reminded Makiichi, paid attention, and gradually learned his lesson, and by the end of the first half, there were no fouls again, but the decline in defensive strength was inevitable.

Both sides have their own means, and the score also rises alternately, after 20 minutes, the score came to 35-34, and Xiangbei maintained a one-point lead.

Akagi became the offensive core of the team today, playing very devotedly, and when it was time to get off the field, he found that his physical strength was a little too much, picked up a drink bottle, and grunted to replenish the water.

Sensing Akagi's exhaustion, Suzuki asked Hotta to warm up and then picked up Endo to prepare him for the second half.

Kuroda was relieved to see that Suzuki was not the person who was against him, but he didn't want to prevent Suzuki from arranging the tactics that still focused on the inside line, and called himself.

Suzuki patted Kuroda on the shoulder and said, "You have a good attitude in competitions and training lately, keep it up." I can give you another five or six minutes in this warm-up game and show me your best form. ”

Kuroda was startled, and his heart, which had just been a little relaxed, suddenly rose again, and he said in a loud voice: "Hi, hi! ”

After beating Kuroda, Suzuki came to Yanagisawa again.

Yanagisawa was the worst performer in the Xiangbei team in the first half, almost being beaten by Oda on the defensive end, and not much on the offensive end, and his mood was a little low.

Sensing Suzuki's approach, Yanagisawa raised his head and said, "Mr. Suzuki, I'm fine." I just hate myself for not being strong enough and always being a hole in the team. ”

Suzuki was speechless, he could see that Yanagisawa was just a little lost and not really depressed, so he patted him comfortingly on the shoulder and said, "You have done your limit, leave the rest to me." ”

Yanagisawa smiled and said, "I'm sure that Mr. will lead us to the whole country again." ”

Suzuki remembered Yanagisawa's consistent seriousness and hard work, and said with some regret: "If you are asked to play as a substitute in order to enter the country, would you be willing?" ”

Yanagisawa frowned, but did not hesitate more, and replied directly: "I, I am willing." ”

Suzuki sighed abruptly: "In the second half, I will also give you another five minutes to drag Oda to death, and then he will end up with you!" In the future, your position will change to full-time defender! ”

Yanagisawa said with relief, "Okay. In fact, after three years of training, Yanagisawa himself also found that he does not have much talent in basketball, all kinds of skills, at most he is skilled, and he really can't afford to take on the small forward position of scoring.

Now the addition of a large number of newcomers in the first year has greatly enriched Xiangbei's tactics, relatively speaking, Xiangbei no longer needs small forwards to lead the offense, Yanagisawa believes that it is time for him to let go of this burden.
