In Kanagawa's college basketball world, the intensity of the preliminaries in the prefecture is directly catching up with the national finals, and the teams are fighting each other, and each game is not to be taken lightly, and the game is extremely tragic because the six relatives do not recognize it. However, when it came to qualifying, the teams from Kanagawa were the most united.

Not long after Lingnan's defeat, the video of their game was already on Suzuki's desk.

Taiga gave Aida, who was running errands, an autograph, comforted him, and then watched the video with Suzuki.

Lingnan's start was very good, under the leadership of Sendo and Miyagi, Yuzumi, Fukuda and Kami took turns firing, a stormy fast attack, played a good start, and once led by as much as 15 points.

However, Xiudeok's resilience was full and he quickly recovered and launched a counterattack.

Nozomi Yuki beat the opposite Lingnan big forward Fukuda in minutes. Although Fukuda's defensive ability has improved greatly with the increase in game experience, it is still not an opponent with endless scoring methods. In particular, the back hook hand formed was almost shaking Fukuda in pain, and he fouled several times in a row, and he almost didn't dare to stretch out his hand later.

The only thing that taught Fukuda some comfort was that the defense of the formation was only average, and when Lingnan attacked, he could also fight back on the formation.

However, Kami was not so lucky, and when Midorima got serious, his score plummeted. It's something that can't be helped. Not to mention Kami, even his predecessor Mitsui, when facing Midorima, he can only give up the three-point shot as a scoring weapon. Similar to Sakuragi's role, this center-level height is placed on the outside, and even if you don't deliberately defend, it will put a lot of pressure on the opponent's outside shooter.

Originally, with the staffing of Lingnan, pulling the fairy road back to the green room was the best way to deal with it. It's just that Hidetoku also has a top player in the small forward position, Minoru Matsumoto.

Although there is still a gap compared to Xiandao, but in addition to Xiandao, there is no second person in Lingnan who can restrain Matsumoto, and Coach Taoka thinks about it and still leaves Xiandao on the front line. In his mind, the three-point shot is not as good as the two-point shot in terms of scoring stability after all, and Lingnan has a rebounding advantage, so it still doesn't have to be specifically aimed at Midorima.

It can't be said that there is a problem with Ooka's thinking, and Midorima's performance in the game also proved that when guarded, his three-point scoring efficiency is only better than that of Yunari and Matsumoto.

But what no one expected was that Midorima's state reached its peak in the final stage of the game.

Seeing that the whole game was coming to an end, Midorima made a long shot in his own half, and the lucky shot hit to equalize the score 87-87 and pull the game into overtime.

Then at the end of overtime, Lingnan took another 3-point lead, or Midorima raised his hand in the middle circle to erase the lead that Lingnan had worked hard to build up in 5 minutes.

The coaches, players and fans of Lingnan on the sidelines cheered for victory several times, but they were all pressed down at the last moment again and again by the three-point shots of Xiude's ace Green, and finally became silent.

Midorima showed everyone how terrifying a high-form shooter can be.

It didn't take long for Suzuki and Taiga to reach a consensus.

The ace can only be dealt with by the ace, so let's let Sakuragi go to the opposite Midorima. Among so many players in the backfield of Xiangbei, Sakuragi's height can catch up with Midorima, and the task of defending Midorima is none other than him.

Sakuragi's partner, Taiga and Suzuki have a disagreement.

Taiga felt that it was better to let Mizuno start and share the responsibilities of the organization, but Suzuki thought that Mizuno's speed was not enough to keep up with Takao, so it was better to use Shakura. Taiga thought about it and felt that although Sakuragi's burden was a bit heavy, it might not be able to take on some organizational functions, so he agreed with Suzuki's opinion.

The two did not hesitate in the small forward position, and unanimously decided to continue to use Rukawa. Rukawa is in a state of rapid improvement, and every high-level game can make him improve visibly. Minoru Matsumoto is not a mediocre hand, and it is just the right time for Rukawa to brush up on what he has just learned from Zebei.

Among the two insiders, the captain Akagi is naturally still the main force that cannot be beaten, with him, Xiangbei is like taking a reassuring pill, ensuring the defense under the basket, at least being invincible.

Also due to physical problems, Suzuki decided to let Akagi only play half of the game in this match, so as not to get too tired.

The so-called Delong Wangshu has reached this point, and Xiangbei has to reach the finals and compete for the championship no matter what.

If it is because of the consumption in the semi-finals and the inability to face Xiangyang in a good state, no one wants to see this result.

As for the possibility of Shoyang being defeated by Hakata, just like Xiangbei will lose to Hidetoku, Suzuki didn't even think about it. He firmly believes that the final of this year's IH is the decisive battle between Xiangbei and Xiangyang.

Based on this consideration, the only person who can substitute Akagi is Maori. Although Xiude's center Magami is only a role player, his height is also 1.95cm, and among several center forwards in Xiangbei, Maori can compete with him.

Maori played as a substitute, and it was naturally Hotta who replaced him as the starter. Suzuki also hopes to use the tacit understanding between Hotta and Akagi to join forces to block Hidetoku's most important firepower point on the inside line, Nozomi Yuuki.

Akagi, Hotta, Rukawa, Sakuragi, and Shakura, after discussing the starters, Taiga went to call all the players into the room, watched the video again, assigned tasks, and arranged targeted tactics.

The other players are all commonly used starters in Xiangbei, but Hotta is rarely able to start. When he learned that he would be the starter, he was very excited, but when he saw that he was going to play against Nozomi Yuuki, the second largest striker in the country after Masashi Kawada, he immediately felt bitter.

At this time, Akagi cheered him up and said, "Hotta, when it's time for the game, you just need to prevent projection." If you want to break through, he will burst in, and I will deal with it. You can help me rotate to prevent numbness! ”

When Xiangbei eliminated Xiude, Shacang was the starter, and he had no cowardice towards the powerful Xiude. He also cheered Hotta and said, "Hotta, don't worry. Sudeok is no different from back then. Didn't you play well against Kimura back then! Take it easy. ”

Hotta was encouraged by two old friends and built up some confidence. puffed up his chest and said, "Okay, I'll try the quality of Xiude's new generation of power forwards!" ”

After talking about the basic tactical intent, Suzuki clapped his hands and said, "Since we have all reached this place, I believe that everyone is not willing to stop here." We have the ability to go one step further and meet Xiangyang in the finals, and we also have the courage to challenge Xiangyang again and complete our dream of dominating the country! ”

"Hey!" The crowd echoed in unison.
