When they came down from the field, the expressions of the five Xiangbei players were divided into two types, and the three on the outside laughed very easily, and the famous friends did not cause them any pressure at all in this half; Akagi and Mori looked happy, but their faces were covered in sweat and made them look tired.

Everyone sat down, and Suzuki asked Akagi first, "How do you feel?" ”

Akagi took a towel and wiped his sweat and replied, "That kid is very strong, and I can still guard against him." But after two years, I won't be sure. ”

Suzuki heard what Akagi meant, and he was very optimistic about Morishige's future, but he was still too young for now.

Suzuki continued, "If you were to be replaced in the second half, who do you think would be able to top you?" ”

Akagi glanced at Mori beside him, then swept around from Hotta to Daisu, shook his head, and said, "None of them can do it." ”

Then Akagi thought for a moment and then said, "Sakuragi might be able to give it a try." Even if he can't stand it in terms of strength, Sakuragi can use the defense around the front to keep him out of reach. Morishige has little experience in playing ball, so there should be no way to do this trick. ”

Suzuki smiled and said, "At the beginning of the second half, you take Sakuragi to play the front line for a while to get familiar with the rhythm. After a few minutes, Akagi you come down and take a break. ”

In terms of tactics, Suzuki has nothing to say, the overall strength of the players is stronger than the opponent, and they can play no matter what, and forcing them to play according to a certain tactic is easy to tie up.

At the beginning of the second half, Suzuki made a substitution, with Mori, Sakura and Takeyo all resting, and Rukawa, Mizuno and Ki Twilight coming into play.

The adjustment of the famous friend is only to replace No. 6 Ishida with No. 8 Watanabe Ryuta to play small forward, which seems to be to strengthen the defense.

It's just that Watanabe is shorter than Ishida, and it's only similar to Kidui and Mizuno, but it's a bit unrealistic to guard against the Rukawa, which is taller than Shakura.

Mingpeng quickly paid the price for their substitution.

With Morishige and Nishimura on the inside, Rukawa wisely didn't make his breakthroughs, just hitting frequently in the middle distance. His current situation is equivalent to Sakuragi's previous confrontation with Tachikawa, and there is simply no interference in his shot.

Although Watanabe's height was only slightly disadvantaged, he couldn't keep up with Rukawa's rhythm at all, and was dazed by Rukawa's change of direction, and stretched out his hand indiscriminately in a hurry, although he let Rukawa's shooting shoot a three-hundred, but also let himself get a foul.

Rukawa rubbed his wrists with a straight face, cold as a lump of ice, and sent both free throws into the net bag without fireworks, and then increased the speed of the action in the next game.

Since taking down the weight-bearing bracers from the battle against Shoyang, Suzuki asked Rukawa to replace the bracers with ordinary ones. Judging from Sakuragi's previous data, continuing to use weights will affect the feel for a period of time afterward.

The opposing people were replaced by Mizuno and Ki Twilight, and Tachikawa and Takeuchi's performance did not improve much.

Mizuno's strength is not as good as Sakuragi, but it is still slightly above Tachikawa. And after Mu Twilight figured out the details of Takeuchi, he still had the strength to help Mizuno attack Tachikawa.

The substitutions didn't play any role, the score difference continued to widen, and Mori Shigekuan became more and more impatient. In a short time, he attacked twice in a row and fouled people, bringing his total foul count to three.

Suzuki saw that it was time, and when the difference came to 20 points, he replaced captain Akagi and let Sakuragi defend Morishige and replace Hotta and Nishimura for rebounds.

Of the five starters in Xiangbei, only Sakuragi was left on the field, and the famous friends thought that Xiangbei was despising them, and launched several waves of strong attacks in a row, but they didn't expect to hit the iron plate headfirst.

Mori Shigekuan was actually guarded by Sakuragi and it was difficult to catch the ball. Originally, in terms of strength, he was better than Sakuragi in the center position, but that was only in perfect condition.

After fighting with Akagi for most of the half, although he beat Akagi's physical strength and went to rest, he didn't fall well, because of his lack of experience, the consumption may not be smaller than Akagi.

On the other hand, Sakuragi's physical strength is not consumed, and it is difficult for Mori's strength to push Sakuragi.

Unable to gain the upper hand in strength, and far inferior in footsteps, Morishige reached out for the ball several times, but was intercepted by Sakuragi around the front, but let Xiangbei counterattack and continue to expand the lead.

Tachikawa had to change his style of play, and according to the style of play in the two years when Morishige didn't come, he connected with Nishimura and tried to gain something in the position of Hotta.

This change really hit the soft underbelly of Xiangbei's current lineup. Hotta's strength is still quite inferior to Nishimura's.

Suzuki signaled Rukawa and Sakuragi not to help Hotta, leaving Hotta alone to face Nishimura's fierce attack.

Over the years, there has been no shortage of high-level teammates around him, and Hotta's strength growth has been very limited, and he was robbed of the main position by Maori, who was a grade below him. Suzuki deliberately put Hotta in an isolated situation in order to stimulate him and let him realize his potential.

Hotta's physical fitness is not bad, and the skills required as a power forward are also well trained, just like Mizuno before the game against Midorikaze, what Hotta lacks is the confidence and will to rely on his own ability to defeat the enemy.

However, Hotta disappointed Suzuki again, and under the pressure of Nishimura's step-by-step, the more he fought, the more he lost confidence, and he almost fell to the point of being beaten by Nishimura. In addition to the defensive end, he can't stop Nishimura, and in terms of rebounding, which he is best at, Hotta has also repeatedly missed. Not only could he not grab the rebound, but he also couldn't get stuck in Nishimura and help Sakuragi or Rukawa win the rebound.

Suzuki called a timeout. He didn't change people, but told Hotta: "Hotta-san, I won't replace you today." When you came on the pitch we were 28 points ahead and now it's 20 points. Either you figure out how to deal with the opposite No. 5 before the score is tied by the opponent, or you take responsibility for losing and quit the basketball team. I'm going to take your name off the IH application form, and I'm sure Ino, Yamada, or Daisu will be very happy to see the result. ”

Hotta looked at the named Ino, Yamada and Daisu, gritted his teeth, swallowed the words of retreat, and returned to the field. Even if the relationship in private is good, he is unwilling to give up the seat he is electing.

Suzuki's harsh words seemed to touch Hotta, and after a period of confusion, he was ruthless, and although he didn't think about how to deal with Nishimura, he began to struggle with Nishimura with each ball, so that Nishimura could not take a comfortable shot.

In the end, when Xiangbei's lead was only 15 points left, Hotta defended Nishimura for the first time and slapped his layup out of the sideline.

I did it! A smile appeared on Hotta's face. Even if the ball is still the opponent's, it is a successful defense after all.

Suzuki could see from the side that in fact, Hotta did not play better than before, but under his high-intensity pressing, Nishimura's physical strength was greatly consumed and his state declined. After all, one of the two has played from the beginning to the present, and the other has only come on as a substitute in the middle of the second half.

However, Suzuki didn't say anything.

Self-confidence, in fact, is sometimes self-deception, to confuse the truth.

The final score of this warm-up game was fixed at 106-98.

Suzuki eventually replaced Sakuragi as well, leaving the duo of Hotta and Takasu to face the Twin Towers, whose strength had been severely reduced. He doesn't care if a big win that can go to two or thirty points turns into a small win of a few points.

Xiangbei can gain something from the competition, and Suzuki is satisfied.
