In the first half, Kawada lost the jump ball, and in the second half, it was changed to the new Nobe. The ball was tossed, and Akagi won again. Before the game, someone from Fukasawa Sports University made a special trip to Akagi and invited him to enter Fukasawa after graduating next year, on the condition that Xiangbei reach the quarterfinals this year. Of course, the better the team's results, the better the treatment Akagi will enjoy after entering the university, so although Akagi has met the requirements of the other party, he is still full of motivation and never slackens.

Sakuragi caught the ball and suddenly found that it was Okawada who was guarding in front of him, and he was slightly stunned.

Okawada didn't care what Sakuragi was thinking, and when he saw Sakuragi's movements slowing down, he immediately reached out unceremoniously to pull out the ball.

Sakuragi dribbled sideways, but he didn't expect that he couldn't carry the opponent's strange force after contact with Okawada, his body was crooked, and he was about to lose control of the ball, he quickly turned his wrist and slapped the ball behind him, quickly turned around, stood firm and used his back to hold the ball tightly.

was so interrupted by Okawada, Xiangbei didn't play the attack he wanted to play at the beginning, Akagi rushed forward after landing, ran to a low position, turned his head to see that the ball didn't come, and turned around to wait for the ball, while Rukawa and Maori were two turned back to respond.

Sakuragi didn't know what was going on behind him, so he passed the ball to Mizuno in front of him for safety.

However, Mizuno couldn't get the ball out right away, and Fukatsu slid over and opened his hand to block the route of his pass.

Mizuno dribbled and changed direction, and then turned around, but Fukatsu was like a piece of kraft candy, sticking to him all the time, and didn't give any gaps in passing. At this time, Mizuno understood that Fukatsu, who was helpless against Sakuragi in the first half, had what virtue and how could he become the captain of the Mountain King.

Sakuragi saw that Mizuno had never been able to pass the ball out, and was afraid of overtime violations, so he ran past Mizuno and took the ball away, while Mizuno took advantage of the situation to block Sakuragi's back and block Okawada's way.

It's just that Okawada was not completely blocked by Mizuno, but only a position behind, so he quickly caught up again. When Okawada overtook Mizuno, he turned around a little and rubbed against Mizuno. Okawada himself continued to chase Sakuragi as if nothing had happened, but Mizuno was like a lightning strike, and he shook twice before he stabilized, rubbed his shoulders, and threw himself into the attack.

Sakuragi had just tried Okawada's brute force, and knew that Mizuno couldn't stop him for long, so he took a big horizontal stride to dodge a gap and passed the ball forward to Maori. As soon as the ball went out, Okawada's hand also arrived, and he almost pulled the ball off.

Fukatsu is still limited to height and size, as before, he realized that he was in place, but he was so short of ten centimeters when he took a step, and the defensive action was not in place, and he was finally passed the ball smoothly by Sakuragi.

As soon as Maori received the ball, he felt a huge body behind him sticking up, he knew that it was Nobe, and he also knew that in the previous games, Nobe was the main center of the Mountain King. It was Maori who didn't dare to slack off, and the basketball was passed out horizontally and given to Rukawa.

Rukawa catches the ball and doesn't think about attacking the basket directly inside, but waits for Sakuragi and Mizuno to follow.

The change of formation of the king of the mountains has brought several changes, and before finding out their details, the players in Xiangbei feel that they should not act rashly.

Maori's previous passing was this idea, and Rukawa now holds the ball and does not attack, which is also the same idea.

Sakuragi came up to catch the ball, he was not a bamboo pole like Maori, and with precautions, the interference caused by Kawada's pressing was much smaller.

Seeing Akagi's running position, Sakuragi pushed his hand and passed the ball in advance.

Akagi catches the ball, turns around, and immediately shakes Kawada off, and then throws the ball with a hook hand.

However, as soon as the ball flew over the height of the basket and was about to fall, a large hand suddenly came and pinned the basketball to the rebound.

The person who covered Akagi, the inevitable goal, was the one who had just come on the field.

Nobe and Akagi are also old rivals, having played against each other as first-year rookies two years ago. Back then, Nobe wasn't tall enough to play power forward, but now he's grown so tall that he's about the same size as Akagi, but he still plays power forward. However, Nobe's mission remains the same, and Akagi is still his main target on the field.

Suzuki could see clearly from the sidelines, and when Nobe passed the ball from Sakuragi, he had already given up Maori and started to defend against Akagi. He guessed that Kokawada was not Akagi's opponent, and came to the basket early, so he was able to jump with all his strength and cover Akagi's shot.

Nobe landed on the ground, dodging Akagi's counter-grab and throwing the ball to captain Fukatsu.

Zebei had already run, and Fukatsu was about to make a long pass, and with a shock in his heart, he pulled the ball back into his arms, looked at a hand that suddenly appeared in front of him, and secretly rejoiced.

Fukatsu's center of gravity was lowered, and he quickly dribbled the ball twice, and suddenly started to break through to the left.

Mizuno followed up and firmly locked the line of Fukatsu's forward pass.

It was the first time that Fukatsu had encountered an opponent like Mizuno, who was very close to him not only in terms of ability, but also in terms of technical characteristics, and he felt a deep headache for a while, so he could only hand over the ball to Okawada, who came to receive him.

Kawada has not played defender for a long time, but the foundation is still there, even if the dribbling technique is not as delicate as before, he can rely on brute force and his body to push through the half court like a tank. Sakuragi didn't want to compete with him, so he stayed half a step away and retreated.

Okawada looks rough, but in fact, he is as careful as a hair, and it can be seen at a glance that the distance left by Sakuragi is not enough for him to complete the pull-up jump shot. Both of them are big men in their 1.9 meters, with an arm span of about two meters, and their ability is measured by the defensive range of ordinary outside lines, and there are big problems.

Okawada gave the ball to the approaching Zebei, instead of the two inside lines with the advantage of height, Zebei formed inside and outside, and the realistic feints broke through Rukawa, and when he reached a position close to the bottom line, he suddenly raised his hand and jumped directly.

Rukawa was shaken by Zebei at first, but he always stopped on the inside, and didn't let Zebei find the opportunity to cut inside, which forced Zebei to the bottom corner at this time, and they were all out of the three-point line, I thought Zebei would pass back, but I didn't expect him to shoot directly to the basket.

Brush!

Three points counted.

Zebei's first three-point shot helped the Mountain King equalize the score.

There was a lot of shouting in the stands, and countless spectators shouted the name of the mountain king to cheer for him.

However, the supporters of Xiangbei were not to be outdone, and immediately shouted in unison, "Xiangbei is still one".

In the cheering, Sakuragi took the ball through the half, took advantage of Rukawa to bring Zebei away, and passed directly to Akagi.

Akagi took the ball and felt that Kawada had a good defensive position this time, so he didn't come by himself, but passed his backhand to Maori, who was pulled to the perimeter.

Maori took the ball, and when he looked up, he saw that the nobe had been sealed, and he had no room to shoot. However, this time, Mori wanted to try the color of the nobian, and instead of returning the ball to Mizuno, who had just run past the halfway line, he was short and wanted to dribble and break through from the outside.

It wasn't a safe bet, and Mori hadn't shown his back-to-back style of play in previous matches, so although Nobe had been watching from the sidelines for a long time, he was unprepared for Mori's breakthrough, and by the time he realized Mori's thoughts, he turned around and chased after him, but it was too late.

Maori opened the space and made a jumper at a 30-degree angle to score the first ball in the second half for Xiangbei.

45-47, Xiangbei continued to maintain a 2-point lead.
