Chapter 148: Fighting for Gold (2)
Xiangbei, which entered the main round of the national competition through the play-offs, experienced the cruelty of the tight schedule earlier than other teams.
Early the next morning, when gathering, Suzuki found that the impact of yesterday's fierce battle against the Mountain King was still very large, the spirit of Maki and Endo was very poor, and Miyagawa and Yoshino were not in the best condition, so he quickly revised the scheduled starting list and took down Maki, who was originally going to play power forward.
Finally, at 10 o'clock sharp, the basketball court appeared on Miyagawa, Yoshino, Aoki, Lantau and Taihe.
There were some changes to the five players in Kanayama Commercial's appearance, with three-point shooter Kamakura not appearing and being replaced by a first-year player wearing the number 14 jersey.
The jumping ball went to Miyagawa and suffered a loss, his jump height was much lower than usual, and he failed to interfere with the opponent's center at all, and the basketball was easily sent to Aikawa's hands by Kenmusashi.
Aikawa immediately sprinted, but Aoki was not far behind, blocking Aikawa before he could enter the restricted zone.
Aikawa is just a person, he directly raised his hand to pass the ball, beside him, cut in like a moon lightning, and jumped directly to the basket after getting the ball, Yoshino couldn't catch up.
Zeden's defensive posture is good, and in the face of Dahe's three-threat posture, the distance is just right, neither giving Dahe room to shoot nor leaving him much room to break through.
It's just that Dahe was not prepared to shake him off by the change of rhythm of the dribble from the beginning, and he squeezed his body straightforwardly and carried Zeden aside.
For this unreasonable breakthrough of Dahe, Jin Shan is also prepared, and the small forward Aichuan brushes it to make up for the defense in place, just like the brother of the lower part of the sun.
Although he made up his mind, this one relied on his own outburst to play, but when there was a gap, Taiga still did not hesitate to pass the assist, he took a step, bypassed Aichuan, sent the ball inward, and gave it to Aoki.
Aoki dribbled and turned around, making a gesture to jump, and as soon as the action came out, Ruyue in the position of the Wai River had already jumped high, and the tall body of 1.9 meters completely covered the front of Aoki.
Aoki does not have an inward route, but it can be transmitted back to the river.
Taiga received the ball and faced Aikawa and Zeden, but he didn't dare to slack off, and distributed the ball to Lantau while bypassing the staggered run with Aoki.
When Aoki stopped Aikawa, the ball returned to Oga's hand at the right time, and he was no longer hindered by this time, and he raised his hand to shoot and score 2 points.
Defending hard and losing points easily, the players of Jinshan Commercial were not touched at all by this result, and went straight to launch their own attack.
Zeden knew Taiga was a tough opponent, and luck carried him across the arc to the wing, then backhanded the ball to Aikawa.
Aikawa continued to dribble and change direction, shaking Aoki, who is known for his explosiveness in the Xiangbei team, and then swept into the incourt of Xiangbei like the wind, and before Yoshino and Miyagawa closed the door, he hit the basket and staged a dunk show, which aroused the cheers of the audience on the sidelines from the beginning.
The mentality of the whole team in Xiangbei is also very stable, and they launch a counterattack step by step. The continuous and uninterrupted passes between Dahe, Lantau and Yoshino tore apart Jinshan's defense at once, and Dahe also rushed to the basket and jumped to dunk.
Jin Shan Zhongfeng Sword struggled to squeeze through Gong He, jumped from behind him, and stretched out his hand to seal it.
When Dahe waited for him to play an old role, he immediately made a change of hands and layups, scoring and making him pay for a foul.
Xiangbei relied on this extra free throw to take the lead for the first time.
When Zeden was targeted by Dahe and it was difficult to get the ball, Jinshan Commercial organized the attack by small forward Aichuan.
Although Aoki is much higher than Aikawa, the technical level of the two is not at the same level at all, and Aikawa easily shakes off his position and sends a pass to the most core place.
Suzuki looked at Aoki twice and sighed. Aoki has a jumpy temperament, and although his physical condition is extremely good, his defensive level has not improved, and he relies purely on intuition to defend, so it is easy to lose his defensive position when facing an opponent with good physical skills like Aikawa.
If possible, Suzuki would have arranged for Endo to defend against Aikawa, but Endo had to hang up the exemption card before he could recover from yesterday's game.
After the sword caught the ball, he couldn't squeeze out of the palace, so he pushed the ball towards Ruyue and walked out by himself.
Gonghe didn't follow, Ruyue returned the ball to the sword, and the sword took the ball and turned around for a jumper, but it didn't go in.
Yoshino picked up the rebound and the ball was handed over to the river.
Dahe ran two steps and raised his hand to make a long pass.
The ball arcs and lands in front of Aoki in the sprint.
Aoki vigorously slapped the ball forward and accelerated forward again, which caught Aichuan, who had just chased behind Aoki, off guard, and was thrown away at once.
Aoki galloped across the court, jumped to the basket, who knew that the wind sounded behind his head, and when he looked back, the ball that came out of his hand was about to fly over the basket, and was nailed to the rebound by Aichuan.
After all, Aikawa has a limited height, and he relied on bouncing to cover Aoki's layup, but he couldn't control the basketball.
The ball fell with the person, the footsteps behind him sounded, and one person picked up the basketball and threw it upward, seemingly random shooting, but it expanded the score for Xiangbei.
It was Takumi Okawa, the tiger of northern Xiangbei, who shot, and only his speed and consciousness could catch up with Aoki's advance.
Aoki is completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Aichuan, and he can't attack or defend himself, but he is a tendon character, and he will not be depressed if he is passed, but will bravely turn back and fight again.
Therefore, in the face of his kraft candy, not every attack can be very smooth.
This time he attacked, he was entangled by Aoki with some urgency, and finally distributed the ball to his No. 14 teammate who had not yet run out of the vacancy.
Suzuki's abandonment of the water bridge and the use of Lantau on the one hand, on the one hand, used the tacit understanding that he and Taiga had played together for many years, so that Taiga could attack more smoothly and consume less, and on the other hand, he also used Lantau defense to limit Kamakura's three-point shot.
Who knew that Kamakura was sitting on the bench today, and it was a first-year unknown who came up. This guy is a decent run, but the ball is basically not going his way, and it's clear that the newcomer isn't the focus of Kaneyama's offense – even if he's playing at shooting guard.
When this ball passed to the hands of Jinshan No. 14, Lantau's attention was still on Aichuan, ready to go up to make up for the defense when he broke through Aoki, so he was a little far away from No. 14.
However, Lantau was not slow to react, and when he received the ball on the 14th, he had already turned around, blocked with one hand, and raised the other hand high, telling the other party that this way was not working.
Lantau moves fast, but this No. 14 moves faster, just when Lantau habitually raises his hand to make defensive moves, his shot has already been shot!
The basketball swiped past Lantau fingertips and headed straight for the basket.
Voted in such a hurry, it was impossible to enter!
With this thought in mind, Lantau reflexively set up No. 14, looked back at the shooting results, but saw the ball pass through the hoop and hit.
A person behind shouted, "Honda, well done!" ”
