Chapter 123: The opponent in the play-offs is the King of the Mountain
Yangquan still played open and active in the second half, and the two centers spared no effort to go back and forth between the two teams' baskets, leaving no stone unturned on both offensive and defensive ends.
Momoi was surprised: "Why are they still fighting like this? Shouldn't it shrink a bit? How could their stamina sustain the whole game? ”
Suzuki lowered his face and said, "Nothing is impossible. The Sanno's defense is close to nothing, and without the most physically demanding physical confrontation on the inside, such a game is similar to team training. These guys, even if it's an inconsequential game, can't fool people like this! If you want to rest the main team, then go to the bench, at least the game played is much better than now! ”
Suzuki said privately that the angle from which he watched the ball was different from the angle from which the audience watched the ball. At least, the vast majority of the audience in the stadium will not agree with Suzuki, in their eyes, this is the most exciting game!
Under the cheers of the audience, Suzuki and Momoi survived until the last moment of the game.
In the end, the two tall towers of Yangquan are still limited by their physical strength, and their activity in the second half of the second half has obviously dropped a lot.
Okamura and Liu Wei began to stay under their own basket and the other under the opponent's basket, narrowing their respective running ranges.
It's still quite a clever tactic.
Captain Okamura, who is stationed under his own basket, has an accurate head for his long passes beyond 10 meters, and can be used as a half-point guard.
However, there were only four people in attack and defense, which finally left a large gap for the Mountain King, and the situation on the field began to tilt towards the Mountain King.
Yang Quan played hard, and the shooting rate inevitably dropped, while the Mountain King tore their defense apart through skillful teamwork, and the offense played well.
With only 18 seconds left in the game, the Mountain Kings had taken the lead, albeit just two points, but they still had the ball.
In such a little time, a few backward passes back and forth will be exhausted, and if one more goal is scored, it will be even more impossible for Yangquan to reflexively.
"This ugly game is finally coming to an end." Suzuki was tidying up his things and ready to get up and walk away the moment the referee blew the final whistle, and he didn't want to stay here for an extra minute.
Momoi's clipboard and pen and paper only need to be put in a bag and can be taken away immediately, and he finished preparing it first, and continued to watch the ball game, when he suddenly exclaimed.
Suzuki suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and when he looked over the court, he saw that the captain of the mountain king, Masamune Hisakabe, threw a three-pointer very casually.
"This ball is completely unreasonable! What was he thinking? Suzuki exclaimed.
Such a sloppy three-point shot should have failed to score, and the rebounding ball naturally fell into Yangquan's grasp.
Captain Yangquan then turned around and threw the ball to Liu Wei, who was standing near the center line and did not recover.
After Liu Wei received the ball, he began to dribble and rush to the basket of the Mountain King.
Because his physical strength has been exhausted, Liu Wei's speed is not fast, but the players of the King of the Mountain seem to have a collective short circuit and fail to react at the first time.
Only the lower part of the sun turned around and ran back from the position where he was about to rush for the rebound, but when he caught up with Liu Wei, Liu Wei had already jumped.
Liu Wei is 203cm tall, and the lower part of the sun is only 184cm, which is only a pure height gap, if you add the arm span, no matter how good the bounce of the lower part of the sun is, it can't stop Liu Wei's shot.
In Suzuki's view, as a guard, at this time, he should run back to his own basket and immediately play a fast break when he gets the ball that falls after Yangquan scores. Anyway, there are still about 10 seconds left in the game, and judging from the direction of the game, if it enters overtime, it will definitely be beneficial to the king of the mountain, and Yangquan's physical strength can no longer support it.
However, under Suzuki's shocked gaze, Norimune followed Liu Wei unnecessarily to jump, and then swung his palm on Liu Wei's left hand to protect the ball!
"This bastard! Is he stupid? How could this be! Suzuki held his head in his hands, unable to believe what he was seeing.
2 points, plus 1 free throw.
Liu Wei withstood the pressure and scored the ball.
The score was 109-110. With 11 seconds left in the race, the King of the Mountains fell behind again!
In the last ball, Liu Wei returned to his own half to defend, and the last attack of the Mountain King ended without a problem under the complete defense line of Yangquan.
Yangquan has won!
Suzuki sat back in his seat and couldn't get up for a long time.
The audience who left the stage walked past Suzuki in twos and threes, one sighed at Yangquan's final lore, while the other comfortingly said that it didn't matter if the outcome of this game was not much, anyway, the first and second places could qualify.
Suzuki smiled wryly, yes, for Sanno and Yangquan, it doesn't matter if they win or lose, either of them can get a place in the qualifiers, the only difference is that the second place has to play an extra play-off.
However, for Xiangbei, which has been confirmed to play in the play-offs, it is completely different from playing the king of the mountain or playing Yangquan.
Just looking at the strength of the first five tigers, Xiangbei is not afraid of the king of the mountain at all.
The strong points of both teams are in the back line.
The Sunxia brothers of the King of the Mountain have a tacit understanding and distinctive characteristics, and they are the first-rate defenders among college players.
The big river in northern Hunan is even more outstanding, even if it is the first in the country, it has the strength to strive for it, and it can already be regarded as a super-first-class level.
And Xiangbei's other main guard, Akira Mizuhashi, although on the whole, is only a second-rate level, but just looking at the three-point shot, he can barely squeeze into the first-class ranks.
Therefore, on the outside line, Xiangbei is only stronger than the king of the mountain, not weak, only among the double-star guards, there is also a super-first-class Lingnan, on the guard line, can overpower Xiangbei.
Another strong point of the Mountain King is the center forward. Although Cave Water is a first-year, he is quite skilled in interior skills and very aggressive, and he is a first-class star player.
Compared with Xueshui, Gonghe in Xiangbei is slightly behind, and can only be regarded as the top level among second-rate role players. However, Kanagawa's centers are accustomed to seeing super centers, and they have a lot of experience in how to face opponents who are stronger than themselves in this position, so in actual combat, Miyagawa may not be weaker than Anamizu.
In addition, in the big and small forward positions, there are role players on both sides, some strong and some weak, roughly on the same level.
On the whole, the strength of the starters is five or five on both sides, and Xiangbei may be slightly weaker, but this gap is only between millimeters, and the slightest fluctuation in the state can be ignored.
However, the gap between the giants and ordinary teams is often more reflected in other places other than the starters.
One, the king of the mountains has a complete tactical system, while Xiangbei is under the training of Suzuki, and there is only a simple cooperation, and the tactics are only the simplest plays, which are completely incomparable.
Another, the substitute of the king of the mountain is much stronger than that of Xiangbei, they are not even much worse than their own main force, and it can even be said that the king of the mountain is enough for the main force of Xiangbei to drink a pot just as a substitute. In the play-offs, if the two teams are in a scorching situation, Suzuki will never believe that the king of the mountains will not send a substitute force to consume the physical strength of the main force in Xiangbei.
With the above two points alone, the play-offs in Xiangbei are extremely dangerous, and they are dead.
Suzuki's thoughts diverged at once, and he thought about a lot of things, and at this time, the people in the gym were almost gone.
Momoi waited and waited, Suzuki was still in a state of wandering, until the cleaner came in to clean, she hurriedly woke Suzuki and shouted, "Sir, sir, we should leave." ”
Suzuki came back to his senses, hurriedly took his belongings, and hurriedly walked out of the Noshiro City Gymnasium, where he didn't want to stay for a moment not long ago.
