Chapter Forty-Seven: The Opponent Who Must Be Stepped On: Lingnan (6)

In the end, Coach Taoka chose to go to Yuzhu and win this game first. Kanagawa Prefecture has two semi-qualifying places, even if it loses to Xiangyang Hainan, as long as it wins Wuyuan, there are still play-off places.

Since the play-offs began, Kanagawa's team has never missed a play-off.

The year before last, Xiangbei blocked the king of the mountain out of the main game, and last year Lingnan was even more painful, and it only took half a time to once again kill the second place Heisei School Park in Akita that year.

However, one more game will have an impact on the team's schedule in the future. Last year, Lingnan had Kuroko, Tokuda, Hoko, and Wakamatsu, four players who were considered first-class players in the country, but they failed to achieve results that matched their strength, and it has to be said that the play-offs had a great impact on them.

However, whether Coach Taoka wants to or not, he has to be ready to play in the play-offs.

However, he still brushed a small trick and did not let Yuzhu appear immediately, but prepared to make another substitution at the beginning of the second half, in order to catch Xiangbei off guard.

In the last minute of the first half, the two sides each played an attack, and the score was finally fixed at 32-39, with Xiangbei leading.

Suzuki was prepared for the fact that Ooka was going to be replaced in the second half, so at the beginning of the departure of the two center forwards, he stepped forward to ask about the status of the two.

Suzuki was most concerned about Akagi, and when he sat down to rest, he first asked, "Akagi, can you still keep up with your physical strength?" ”

Akagi confidently replied, "No problem at all. The two of us, Masaki and I, take turns attacking Wakamatsu one, so we can find time to rest a little by ourselves. My consumption today is not large, it is about the same as my usual ten minutes. ”

Suzuki turned his head to look at Maki, and when he saw that he nodded in agreement with Akagi's statement, he said, "Okay." The key to whether we can win today is in the two of you. You guys hurry up and rest now, if you don't send fish to live on the other side in the second half, Akagi, you continue to rest, recover your strength, and let Ishii go up and fight for a few minutes. However, I believe that Coach Taoka's patience will not be much. When the fish comes in, he'll give it all to you. Don't look at his stature a little taller than you, but he should not be as good as you in bounce and movement, just find his weak spots. ”

Akagi smiled and said, "I see." Coach, you've said this stuff countless times this week. ”

Suzuki is still very relieved about Akagi, the player's heart is big, he is stable, and his understanding is top-notch. The reason why he repeatedly instilled Yuzumi's weakness in Akagi was to build Akagi's confidence to defeat him, and on the other hand, it was Suzuki's own performance that he valued this game too much and had no bottom in his heart.

Then Suzuki turned to Maki and said to him, "Maki-san, you have to work harder this year." You are the main attack point of the team. When he comes on, he's supposed to be playing as a central striker, you're going to play against Wakamatsu, and you're still going to be the team's main scorer. Today we should not be able to count on the outside line, everything depends on your performance. ”

Maki bowed to Suzuki and said, "Hey! This is what I should do. I'm going to do my best to get the team to the finals! ”

Suzuki patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's not just the finals, we're going to the national competition again!" ”

Maki remembered the situation when he followed Captain Taiga to Tokyo that year, and said in a deep voice, "Yes! We're going to the national competition! ”

Suzuki saw that Maki was in good shape, motioned for him to rest on his own, and then found Shakura, came to Yanagisawa together, and said to him, "The first half was good. At the beginning of the second half, you continue to rest, and I let Shacang defend you for a while. Tell Shacang about the experience of the Defense and Protection Division. ”

Suzuki then left them behind, walked to the area where the two starting guards were resting, and said, "In the second half, Lingnan will definitely go to the fish, so Akagi's scoring opportunities will be reduced a lot, which will force us to improve the suddenness and accuracy of the passes, so I decided that the organization of the team's attack in the second half will be controlled by Mizuno-san." But, Endo, don't be disappointed, you have other tasks. The defense of the corner pine is up to you. ”

Then Suzuki said to Mu Du sincerely: "Mu Dui, your performance in the first half was quite good, but because of the team's tactical adjustments, I had to take you down first. ”

Embarrassed, Mu Du responded, "Sir, please don't say that. In the final stage of the first half, it was my defense that went wrong and scored several three-pointers in a row for Kakumatsu, which allowed Lingnan to narrow the difference. ”

As soon as Suzuki raised his hand, he interrupted Ki Dui's self-blame and said, "It's not your problem, it's that Kadomatsu's strength is too strong." Changing to someone else, this is also the result. ”

In the second half of the first half, Kadomatsu adapted to Kiki's defensive intensity and approach, and with the full cooperation of Hoshina, Yano and Tsukahara, he frequently made long-range shots to chase back the score. If it weren't for Xiangbei's control of rebounds quite well, the score would have been closer.

Lingnan is indeed a lot weaker than the previous two years, but it is by no means a simple man-to-man defense that can be defeated simply. They still have more than one excellent scorer and a role player who is willing to be a green leaf. Even if he is targeted and can't exert his full strength, the rest of the combat effectiveness is still first-class in the county. If Xiangbei does not show the same level of strength, it is impossible to defeat them.

Fortunately, the current strength of Xiangbei has just been able to catch the first-class side in the county.

At the beginning of the second half, it was still a jump ball, and this time the two giants standing in the middle circle became a pair of Akagi and Uzumi.

Seeing the center on the opposite side, which was even bigger than Akagi, the players in Xiangbei felt an invisible pressure, whether they were on the field or sitting off the field. Seeing the real person with their own eyes, everyone understood why Suzuki repeatedly mentioned Yuzumi, a freshman who would not appear in the starter, in his pre-match tactical guidance.

Ishii was a little dissatisfied with the fact that he was robbed of the starting position by Akagi, but from the moment he saw Yuzumi, he understood that this was not an opponent that he could deal with.

While frustrated by his powerlessness, Ishii did the only thing he could do now, which was to cheer on his teammates, and he shouted, "Akagi, defeat him!" You can do it, you are the embodiment of Donkey Kong! ”

Ishii's cheering was very loud, and it still reached the ears of many people in this noisy stadium.

Because they were wearing the same team uniform, the audience naturally understood who Donkey Kong in Shijingkou was referring to, and then took a closer look at Akagi's appearance, the more he looked at it, the more he looked like it, so there were fans in Xiangbei who kept shouting: "Donkey Kong, come on!" Gorillas, come on! ”

The fans on the Lingnan side naturally wanted to fight back, they observed the appearance of Yuzhu, and found that it was not inappropriate to say that it was an ape, but the name of "gorilla" had been used by the other party, and it was a little inappropriate to say something similar.

In the end, a neutral fan had a flash of inspiration and shouted: "Godzilla of Lingnan, you have to come on!" ”

This sentence gave Lingnan fans a word.

As a result, Yuzumi's head was crowned with the titles of "monster" and "Godzilla".

In this way, the first-year centers of both teams became famous all of a sudden before the first game of high school was played.
