"What? Lingnan actually lost! How can it be? After hearing Abe's news that Lingnan lost to Hainan in the second game of the round-robin, Suzuki's first reaction was that he was joking.

Indeed, whether in terms of the ability of ace players or the overall strength, Lingnan surpasses Hainan.

Xiangbei, which is equivalent to Lingnan's strength, can win Hainan by 15 points, and Lingnan's defeat is simply unreasonable.

While fiddling with the projector, Suzuki couldn't wait to ask Abe, "How did Lingnan lose?" What is the score? ”

Abe replied: "I don't understand it very well, but I think that Hainan's defense today is very strong, and Xiangyang's scoring is very difficult." The final score was 65-63. ”

Suzuki was stunned when he heard this, stopped what he was doing, and said suspiciously: "The score is so small!" ”

Xiangbei has played against both teams, and Suzuki knows their players well, knowing that Hainan's Bushibu, Lingnan's Shoichi Imaiyoshi and Eiji Tokuda are all top-notch scorers in the prefecture.

Especially Lingnan, with the two first-class dual-energy guards of Imayoshi and Kuroko, not only can it be said that it is easy to find and create scoring opportunities, but they also have the ability to shoot in the medium and long range, if they want Lingnan to not score, they have to stare all five people to death!

Unable to figure out how Hainan managed to achieve this near-miraculous result, Suzuki said, "Let's watch the video first." Everybody come here, Yanagisawa, Sakuragi, put aside your practice for a while and watch the game. ”

The starting lineup of the Lingnan team continued their main lineup from the previous game, the center is still a small but experienced Mitsuhashi, the power forward is Tokuda, the small forward is the secret weapon of the first year, and the double guard Imakishi and Kuroko.

On the Hainan side, the lineup has not changed much compared with the game against Xiangbei. Center Takagaki , power forward Bushi, small forward Yanagimoto, the only change is in the guard line, Takeda replaces Ohara as the starter, and partners with Boom in the guard line.

Compared with the two, in the center position, Lingnan has a slight advantage, while in the big forward position, it is the opposite, and Hainan's Bu Shibu is stronger.

Small forward here, Lingnan's Baoke is a good offensive player, while Hainan's Liuben is very good at defense, and the two have a spear and a shield to cancel each other.

On the front line, Hainan has a slight upper hand, but on the back line, Lingnan has a big advantage.

Shoichi Imaichi is as famous as Dahe, a fox and a tiger, which is not something that Yuki Jiro can handle, and Kuroko Zhe is the same. Wait for next year, Imayoshi, Oga, and Igarashi will all go to school, and Takatoshi Tsuda of Wuyuan may be able to compete with him for the title of the strongest point guard in the county, in addition, whether it is Zhuda, which Hainan focuses on cultivating, or Endo, which is in northern Xiangbei, in Suzuki's opinion, there is still a level behind.

After getting the spoilers in advance, Suzuki knew that Hainan's tactics were mainly defensive, but when the video started playing, he was still frightened by Hainan's defensive intensity.

"How can it be done like this!" Suzuki muttered to himself.

The other players in Xiangbei were not training at this time, and sat high and low for two laps, surrounding Suzuki.

Dahe commented: "Fortunately, we have always been ahead of them, otherwise they put on such a set, and we would have been in trouble." ”

From the very beginning, the game fell into the rhythm of Hainan.

The first attack was naturally launched by Hainan with a generous step jump ball, and they made a premeditated cooperation, allowing Zhuda to help Bombard block Imayoshi's marking, and Bombardment was misplaced in the face of Kuroko, and quickly scored a three-pointer.

Endo was shocked and lost his voice: "Are they trying to use Kuroko's height to make a fuss?" ”

Suzuki thought about it and felt that it was a little unrealistic.

Among the people on the field, Lingnan's sunspot is the shortest, only 173cm, followed by Hainan's Yanagimoto, 178cm, and the rest are all more than 1.8 meters tall, only Bu Shi is more than 1.9 meters.

However, Kuroko plays point guard, and he stands on the outermost side when defending, so that on the one hand, he can reduce Kuroko's task on defense as much as possible, and on the other hand, it can also give full play to the power of Lingnan's double point guards, which is convenient for chasing and counterattacking.

In this way, if you want to take advantage of Kuroko's height disadvantage, you can only shoot three points.

However, how can you score a three-point shot if you want to?

In training, 8 out of 10 balls can be scored, which is already quite good, but during the game, a little interference will have an impact on the three-point shot, and it can be called excellent if you can have a shooting rate of about 50%.

For example, in the last game of Xiangbei vs. Xiangyang, the reason why Xiangbei can score so many three-pointers is for its special reasons.

First of all, Xiangbei's tactics are all bets on three-point shots. Xiangyang's inner line is too strong, and Xiangbei is too far behind, so he can only catch up with the three points on the outside.

Secondly, the Xiangbei team has a large number of players who can shoot three-pointers.

In addition to full-time scoring guard Mizuhashi and captain Ohga, small forwards Lantau and Imai, and even backup point guard Endo, all have a certain three-point shooting ability, which makes Xiangbei's outside group as long as they run, someone can always find an open spot and get a three-point shot opportunity in the position with as little interference as possible.

Finally, Xiangbei has one of the top point guards in the county, no matter what position he plays, he can find his teammates who run to the open position in time, and use his passing skills to pass the ball to this teammate's hands.

The above three conditions are indispensable.

In the final stage of the match between Xiangbei and Xiangyang, Coach Anzai sent Okazaki Hama to cooperate with Osamu Igarashi, so that all the shooters in Xiangbei were stared to death, so that Xiangbei was re-beaten into the abyss.

If it weren't for the fact that there was only a little bit left in the game time, Xiangbei would have lost by a bigger difference!

The conditions that Xiangbei has, Hainan does not have.

Hainan's inner line is stronger than Lingnan, even if it is just a little bit, so that Hainan has no need to play three-point tactics to the death.

Hainan has played only three-point shooters in the field, but because Matsuoka's defense is too poor, he does not have the strength to start, and there is only one person on the court. This only three-point point is easy to be stared at, even if there is a difference in height, on the premise of preventing shooting and not preventing sudden passes, it will definitely make the three-point shooting rate of Bang fall to less than 30%.

In the end, Zhuda's organizational ability is also much inferior to Dahe, even if Bang runs out of space and misposition, his pass may not be able to pass to Bang's hand in time.

Therefore, Suzuki feels that Hainan will not use the three-point tactic as the main offensive tactic.

The more likely truth, Suzuki believes, is Hainan's dismount, so that Lingnan does not dare to relax the defense of Hainan's outer line, thereby reducing support for the inner line.

The race went exactly as Suzuki had expected.

The focus of Hainan's offensive is still to give up!
