Chapter 46: The Opponent Who Must Be Stepped On: Lingnan (5)
During the time when the gate and others were chatting, because of the loss of physical strength, Xiangbei's scoring efficiency declined, and Mu Dui, Maki and Yanagisawa all failed to shoot, but fortunately, Xiangbei's rebounds still had an advantage, and Lingnan was not given too many opportunities to counterattack.
Baoke's play activated Lingnan's offense, and in a short period of time, he got 10 points and 2 assists, fully showing the power of an ace.
I have to say that Suzuki is still very accurate in seeing people, and it is not unreasonable for him to list Baoke as the only A-level player among the two teams.
However, he only completed half of the task assigned by Taoka to Baoke, and the attack on Lingnan did improve greatly, but on the defensive end, Lingnan's basket was still ruled by Xiangbei, and even if Wakamatsu had the support of Baoke, he only resisted more tenaciously, which did not help the situation of the game.
Baoke's height of 1.9 meters and weight of 65 kilograms are not enough to participate in the battle between the big center forwards who are about 1.95 meters tall and weigh 80 or 90 kilograms. In more than ten minutes, he only got one rebound, which obviously did not meet Coach Taoka's expectations.
From the first year of entering college basketball, Baoke was not good at physical confrontation, and his underweight was obviously an important reason. Two years later, he was promoted to the third grade, and although he made up for this shortcoming, he did not completely overcome it, and Coach Taoka also put some effort into it, but it never worked. Ooka is not Suzuki, not only has the insight of later generations, but also knows how to introduce the most scientific training methods from the United States, his set of training is still the same old set of experience accumulated over the years, only know that too much strength will affect the feel, and slow down the speed, so he does not dare to take the risk of abolishing the original advantage of Baoke, and train him to be a qualified interior power forward.
In fact, even Suzuki is only half-baked in this regard. For athletes, in high school, a reasonable diet and training can still make the players move up a little more, and it is not impossible to achieve a good effect of 5 cm per year.
However, his experiment, on the most highly-anticipated real wood, did not achieve the expected effect in the first place.
In the past three years, Maki has only grown 7 centimeters taller, although there is no problem with general interior confrontation, but when he really encounters a power-type center, he still has to be deflated. This is also the reason why Suzuki directly promoted Akagi to the semi-main force and did everything possible to make him mature quickly.
In terms of technical ability, Akagi may not be stronger than Ishii, who has been playing power forward, but his own strength and height are really huge, which made Suzuki determined to support Akagi.
Coach Taoka could see from the sidelines that the fundamental problem why Lingnan was still lagging behind was the inside line. Yano played very hard, although he couldn't score by himself, but he gave 3 assists, and at the same time he did a lot of strategy and cover, but his disadvantage in height made his position a breakthrough for Xiangbei to score points, whether it was Akagi or Maki, he couldn't prevent it.
A change has to be made.
Taoka made up his mind and said to the bench: "Uozumi, in the second half you go up and play center, get ready." ”
Due to the booming basketball in Kanagawa Prefecture, Yusu played ball when he was in the third grade of junior high school. Although he is only playing with the help of his height, all the interior skills are quite rough, but he also has some game experience. In the two months since he entered high school, he has worked hard under Taoka, and his level has improved by leaps and bounds, although he is still a rough brother, but at least he has played well, so that he will not lose the ball even when he turns on the dribble unguarded.
If you can do this, for Yuzhu, you are basically qualified and have the strength to play.
The reason why he was firmly pressed to the bench and not given a chance to play was because Coach Taoka had other considerations.
Even though Hainan has been in decline for two years and is only just reviving, in Taoka's heart, it is still a great enemy comparable to Xiangyang.
The background of these two schools is far from being comparable to that of Lingnan, and the seedlings of good players are one after another, with almost no breaks.
The most important thing in basketball is height, and the staffing of Kanagawa's twin heroes Xiangyang and Hainan is enough to send a two-tower lineup of two centers.
The island nation has always followed the "torch of freedom, the beacon of civilization" of the United States, and the sports world is naturally no exception. In recent years, the basketball world of the island country, influenced by the United States, tends to put a big forward in the lineup, rather than a second center. However, this does not mean that they have forgotten the power of the second center.
In recent years, the most successful big forward in the high school basketball world of the island country, one is Shogo Ashizaki of Xiangyang, and the other is Daiki Aomine of Hakata, both of whom are actually more than 1.9 meters tall, and it is not indispensable to serve as a center, but their speed and aggression are unique to the big forward, and there is a giant next to him who completely carries the task of the center.
Just look at the lineup in last year's Winter Cup, Xiangyang has Shoichiro Hiroshi Hiroshi and Kenji Tsuchihashi, Hainan has Shinshi Liangchuan and Esaku Damen, Ooka will not believe that Coach Anzai and Gao Touli, the old opponent, will not notice the height defect in the position of Lingnan's big forward, and directly pose a double tower to blow up Lingnan on the inside. Therefore, he tried his best to snatch Yuzhu to Lingnan, just to make up for Lingnan's shortcomings in this position, and planned to have enough means to deal with it when he encountered the twin towers of Xiangyang and Hainan.
However, what Coach Taoka didn't expect was that before the finals of the county competition, Lingnan led by him encountered Xiangbei's twin tower tactics in the first game of the year, and it directly reached the point of showing the hole cards!
Tianoka knew that among the spectators there must have been observers sent by Xiangyang and Hainan, just as he had actually sent people to record the opponent's match. At this time, the fish residence was sent in advance, which directly means that the two opponents know Lingnan's hole card, and may make targeted arrangements for the technology and cooperation ability shown by the fish residence.
Yuzhu is still in the first grade, just out of the beginner stage, full of flaws and weaknesses, as obvious as his advantage in height and strength.
It's just that under the pressure of Xiangbei step by step, Taoka has no other choice.
Or, hide the fish and live, endure the internal advantage of Xiangbei, and rely on the personal abilities of Wakamatsu, Baoke and Kakumatsu to fight for that small chance of winning.
Or, show your hole cards, show your strength, regardless of the future against Xiangyang, Hainan when the odds of victory are greatly reduced, and first seize the ticket to the county finals!
