Chapter 39: The First Battle of the Round Robin, Hainan (8)
Suzuki turned his attention back to the game, and was watching Akagi receive Mizuno's long diagonal pass, squeeze Kohori cleanly, and leap up to feed the basketball into the basket lightly.
Suzuki glanced at the score and it was already 78-73, with 11 minutes and 50 seconds left in the second half.
Suzuki said to Haruko, "Show me the record of the game just now." ”
Haruko Akagi tore off the top piece of paper on the board and handed it to Suzuki, then picked up the pen and jotted down the new data on the paper below - as long as the two were talking, Hainan had already completed a counterattack, and Makishiichi broke through Mizuno's defense, made a cooperation with Ichiro Shinso, and then broke into the low post and made a layup.
Mizuno leaned over and pointed to the records, telling Suzuki what had happened in the few minutes he had been distracted.
As another manager who has been in the basketball club for more than three years, Mizuno is very different from her predecessor, Momoi.
What the two have in common is that they are observant and have excellent memory.
Momoi's strength lies in analyzing the data, analyzing the characteristics of each person's technical movements in a way that ordinary people cannot understand, and then calculating which technical action he uses at a certain moment has the greatest probability.
And Mizuno's strength lies in figuring out psychology. From the player's personality, state and even expression, it is possible to predict the offensive and defensive strategies he may adopt.
The IQ and talent of the two girls have seriously hit Suzuki's self-confidence, making him think that he is a scum who is useless except for the vision and foreknowledge brought by rebirth. Fortunately, the rest of the players in the basketball club, including Akagi, a good student who is recognized as having a high IQ and excellent grades, are also unable to keep up with the way of thinking of the two managers, which keeps Suzuki's mentality from being unbalanced.
Mizuno Lili's explanation of the purpose is like a replay of the highlights, giving Suzuki a full understanding of the previous games.
Xiao Kan's appearance completely revitalized Hainan's offensive system. In the first half of the second half, Hainan's outside line began to work in unison, no longer like in the first half, relying only on Qingtian and Mu to lead the attack.
The side effect of Hainan's change is that on the inside, he completely lost the restriction on Akagi, allowing him to score as many as 10 points in less than 10 minutes.
It's just that Xiangbei doesn't completely rely on Akagi to fight alone.
Because the score has been leading, the end point of Xiangbei's attack is not fixed on Akagi, who has the most advantage in one-on-one, and the substitutes Shacang and Wu Dai are both eager to show themselves and make achievements in the attack.
However, under the tight defense of Hainan's outside line, the shooting percentages of both men are average.
Shacang scored 5 points on 2-of-4 shooting, and Wu Dai scored 7 points on 3-of-6 shooting, which is not bad, but it is not efficient.
In contrast, Hainan's offense during this period was very efficient.
In fact, they didn't shoot at times, but they didn't lose a single offensive rebound in the second half.
This is the biggest difference between the Hainan team and the first half during this period.
At the same time, it is also the biggest support for the Hainan team to gradually catch up with the score.
Replaced Kazuma Takasago, who has a very good rebounding ability, and replaced Kosuga, who is only a small forward, Hainan's reversal in rebounding is due to their investment at any cost when competing for rebounds.
When it was time to grab a rebound, except for the shortest Qingtian, the other four members of the Hainan team rushed to the basket together.
Netakeya was responsible for jamming Akagi's run, Kami was responsible for intercepting Maori, and letting the relatively short Kohori Gomaki go to rush for rebounds.
Kobori is okay, but he has a bison-like physique, but when he grabs rebounds, he takes advantage of it.
Shakura is good at outside defense, and sometimes he can temporarily replace the power forward, and his physical condition is not bad, but under the impact of Maki, he is no different from Mizuno, and he has not been able to protect the basket.
With the advantage in numbers on one side and the advantage in height on the other, the two sides were evenly matched in rebounding in the second half, winning three times each.
This is nothing less than an improvement for the Hainan team.
However, in Suzuki's view, this tactic is actually not of great benefit. Even the two guards rushed into the restricted area to grab rebounds, and the strength of the Hainan team to stay on the outside inevitably decreased.
To win offensive rebounds, even if it is inconvenient for Akagi or Maori to make a direct rebound, it is not difficult to pass to the open outside to get a long-range shot.
Winning a defensive rebound is a good opportunity for Xiangbei to play a fast offensive counterattack.
Kiyota's athletic ability is outstanding, but in the face of a combination like Shakura, Mizuno and Wu Dai, any two of them will not be able to defend against him.
Suzuki also observed that Kiyota's performance in the second half was far less impressive than in the first half.
Although there is a relationship with the opposite Shakura, his physical strength has declined, and he has gradually been unable to keep up with this super-fast-paced game, which is also an important factor.
Suzuki was about to ask Mizuno to play more of the sand canura, but he didn't expect that the tall coach also noticed the decline in Kiyota's state and decisively replaced him.
At the same time as Kiyota, Netakeya also fell.
In Kanagawa, the captain of the Hainan team, Maki, has always been known as a monster because of his sturdy physique.
However, Genwu Valley, who was on the same team as him, was not inferior to him at all in terms of physically, and could be said to be at the beast level.
However, it was this Netakeya who was a little overwhelmed after fighting with Akagi for the short half.
With great strength, Akagi can compete with Nebu Valley in terms of strength, and in terms of experience and height, he is far superior to Genwu Gu, who originally played mainly as a big forward, which made Genwu Gu use all his strength, but only ended up being blown up by Akagi.
However, Netakeya's efforts did not work at all, and after seeing Hainan replace two third-year players, No. 5 Takasago and No. 15 Miyayi, Suzuki decided to replace Akagi, who was also showing some fatigue, and let Hotta go into battle to feel the atmosphere of the game.
With the end of Akagi, Xiangbei's advantage in the inner line is no longer there, and Takasago brushed the first data as soon as he came up. He leaned his back against Hotta under the basket, received a pass from God, and then turned to face the frame.
Hotta didn't lose his defensive position, and although Takasago turned around, he still didn't have a chance to shoot, but he could do something else.
Takasago raised his hand and threw the basketball diagonally, and Mu shook off the dehydration field from the side and caught the ball with a violent dunk.
Hotta's strength is not top-notch, but his experience is not bad, and in the face of Mu's dunk, he did not force the block, and refused to give him a chance to score one more point.
Makiro looked at Hotta, who had come up as a substitute, and shook his head in annoyance.
Xiangbei's players are too cautious when defending, and sometimes they would rather be scored easily by him than take the risk of fouling.
So far in this game, Mu has only managed to make two fouls, and his sharpest fangs have bitten into the air again and again.
Xiangbei naturally has plenty of confidence to relax his defense.
The shepherd is under the basket, which means he can't get back in time for the next round. Xiangbei's two point guards, Sakuragi and Mizuno, are very good at capturing fighters, and they are no worse than Hainan when they start a fast attack.
Mu himself scored under the basket, which means that Hainan will not have his defense under the basket in the next round, and the probability of losing points will be greatly increased.
Swings and roundabouts.
Both teams were well versed in the attack of fast and accurate, and the pace of the game never slowed down, which made the audience addicted, but also shocked the players of other teams in the county who came to watch the game.
