The sudden tightening of the score gave the Xiangyang players a lot of pressure.

Under Mori's defense, Takano's pass was a bit rushed, causing Mitsui to need a little more adjustment when receiving the ball before he could shoot.

This gave Sakuragi plenty of time to prepare, jumping more than a meter out of thin air and fanning Mitsui's shot diagonally.

Fujima jumped in mid-air and slapped the ball away from Mizuno's head and gave it to Hanagata's hand.

Hanagata turned around and went to the basket and was covered by Akagi.

Mizuno took the ball in place, controlled the ball, found the gap, and passed the ball to Rukawa.

Rukawa shook off Nagano, rushed to the basket in a few big steps, jumped in mid-air to hold up the ball and was about to dunk, when he heard Sakuragi shouting "be careful of the cap" behind him.

Liuchuan was a well-behaved person, and immediately knew that there was someone from Xiangyang behind him, and he also guessed who the person was, so he hurriedly waved his wrist and threw the ball first.

Xiangyang's two defenders, in terms of speed, Fujima is slightly faster, but if you can remind Sakuragi that it is a "cap", it will definitely not be Fujima, but Mitsui.

Fujima's height meant that he would choose to steal the ball first when he caught up, and only Mitsui had a chance to cover it from behind.

Mitsui swung his palm into the air and fell with Rukawa, unable to try to control the basketball that bounced back from the board, and sighed in his heart that he was going to lose points again. Behind him, Fujima, in terms of grabbing rebounds, is by no means Sakuragi's opponent.

It's just that Mitsui underestimated Sakuragi's appetite.

Sakuragi took the rebound and passed a backhand to Maori, who had just run to the three-point line, while shouting, "Shoot!" ”

Maori understood, stopped, took a step back to the side, and confirmed that he was outside the three-point line before making a jumper.

Mori's choice came as a surprise to Takano, who was desperately chasing back, and he couldn't form an effective distraction at the first moment.

Maori shot very comfortably, but his three-point level really needs to be practiced well, and this shot actually hit the iron.

Fortunately, Takano turned back to block Maori and didn't return to the basket, Hanagata and Akagi had just run past half court, and Sakuragi still had the final say under the basket.

Sakuragi jumps a second time and brushes again, this time the ball is sent to the right.

Mizuno!

Mitsui, who grabbed rebounds and didn't grab Sakuragi, and Fuji Zhen, who waited for Sakuragi to land and tried to intercept them, were shocked.

Mizuno's three-pointer was much more stable than Maori's, and he didn't waste this opportunity to shoot in the open space and hit it in one shot.

Xiangbei overtook the score!

In the next round, Fuji Zhenmiao passed into the gap, Nagano cut in to catch the ball and dunked, Akagi saw Rukawa lose his position, and immediately made a ruthless move, grabbing Nagano's arm without covering the ball, so that his ball was deflected to the rebound.

Akagi raised his hand very knowingly, watching Nagano's free throw.

Nagano scored the first goal, but missed the second.

Hanagata and Akagi were mixed together, and no one could jump, but in the power forward position, Takano squeezed out of Maori and received the basketball.

Gao Ye knew that the night was long and dreamy, so he didn't wait for the landing and shot directly, but it was still slow.

Sakuragi and Rukawa teamed up to block all of his shooting routes.

The basketball was grabbed by Rukawa's hands and protected in his arms.

After landing, Rukawa changed hands under his crotch, dodged Nagano, and then moved sideways in one step, flashed Fujima again, and with a swing of his arm, passed the ball to Sakuragi.

As soon as Sakuragi landed, he started to run towards the Shoyang half, believing that Rukawa could pass the ball. However, Mitsui also expected this and ran side by side with him.

The ball flew over, and Mitsui suddenly made a sudden stop to cut off Rukawa's pass.

Sakuragi had a bad heart, so he stopped, waved his hand desperately, and poked out the ball that Mitsui had just received and didn't hold in his hand.

Mizuno followed up to get the ball and split to the right side, and Maori came up.

Maori's strength is not as good as that of Takano, but his speed is above Takano, and once he runs away, Takano really can't catch up with him.

Mitsui saw Mori approaching the basket, so he had no choice but to give up Sakuragi to prevent Mori.

With Sakuragi under the basket, Mori took a shot from the outside without hesitation, and the basketball flew past Mitsui's fingertips, flew to the basket, and smashed on the hoop.

Takano learned to be obedient this time, and when he saw Mitsui going to defend Maori, he rushed straight to the basket and competed with Sakuragi for the rebound.

Only this time he was busy again.

The basketball spun around and rolled into the center of the hoop.

35-39, Xiangbei led by 4 points.

Seeing that Xiangyang's hearts were floating and the formation was scattered, just when the Xiangbei generals wanted to take the opportunity to make persistent efforts to open the score, Coach Anxi called a timeout.

Although it was only a minute, it was enough time for Xiangyang to return to normal.

In the remaining minutes of the first half, Xiangyang strengthened his defense while playing more patiently on offense. Hanagata reduced the amount of the retreat, bullied Akagi into not coming out and split the ball in the low post on both wings, allowing Takano and Nagano to make more shots, and Fujima also increased the number of insertions.

Xiangyang's shots were no longer obsessed with shooting three-pointers and became close to the basket, which made their shooting percentage rise significantly.

Xiangbei's defensive response was about to be half a beat slower, and it was difficult to parry for a while, and was once equalized by Xiangyang.

However, Sakuragi then came on fire on the offensive end, and with a block from Akagi, he re-established a two-point lead and maintained it until the end of the first half.

Looking at the score of 48-50 on the scoreboard, Suzuki was seven or eight points satisfied.

Neither team did any surprises, and both put their strongest strength on the field at the beginning.

Xiangyang is all five third-graders, and Xiangbei's dual point guard lineup also brings out its own characteristics.

can still lead by 2 points at the end of the first half, which shows that Xiangbei has surpassed Xiangyang in terms of strength.

In the county competition, the score of the first half of the two teams was very coincidental, also 48-50, but the lead at that time and the lead now are not the same at all.

The gold content is completely different.

At that time, Xiangyang, because Coach Anzai was hospitalized, the captain Fujima commanded on the sidelines, and did not play, which can be said to be the first to fold his arm without a fight.

In the Xiangyang team, Suzuki is not their captain Fujima, not the ace Mitsui, nor the inner pillar Hanagata, but Coach Anzai, who rarely makes command adjustments.

Suzuki has always believed that with the big Buddha of Mr. Anzai sitting on the sidelines, even if he doesn't do anything, Xiangyang's combat effectiveness can be overestimated.

And reality proves it.

In the first half, after Xiangbei's ace Sakuragi exerted his strength, Xiangyang had a burst of chaos. Xiangbei had the opportunity to hit the opponent hard in one fell swoop, and even defeat him, but it was due to an adjustment by Coach Anxi that stabilized Xiangyang and made the game anxious again.

This is a lucky thing for the audience, but for Suzuki, it is a bit cruel.

However, Suzuki himself never imagined that he would be able to defeat Shoyang simply and easily.

Coach Anthy, what new tricks will you use at halftime? I'm looking forward to it!

Suzuki thought half excited, half scared.
