While Suzuki was thinking, the game on the court never stopped, coming and going five times.

On the side of Xiangbei, Wu Dai stared at the point of Chimu. Mu also knows that the position of center forward is the biggest difference in the strength of the two teams at present, but even with his strength, he can't prevent Mizuno's pass.

Mizuno's own strength is here, and it is not something that Mu can handle casually, and Wu Dai and Shacang around him are teammates who have played together for several years, and they don't need to shout when they run and answer, they can understand with one look, and help Mizuno to pass the ball that can't be passed directly, go around in a circle, or send it to Akagi.

The two most critical points of Suzuki's tactics are the No. 1 position and the No. 5 position. As long as the personnel in these two positions are competent, this set of tactics can be carried out.

The point guard must be able to hold the ball and pass the ball.

In the average team, the two guards are roughly on the same line, sometimes the point guard is up front, and the point guard is slightly back. But in Suzuki's tactics, the role of the quarterback is mainly to involve running, often to the bottom line, and the point guard will not be given too much help, and the point guard mainly relies on his own ability to play the ball.

The strength of the point guard is closely related to the results of Xiangbei.

In the two times he entered the national competition, for the first time, the point guard of Xiangbei was the captain Takumi Okawa, who was the strongest point guard in the whole of Kanagawa and even in the country. That time, if the rest of Xiangbei's players were stronger, Xiangbei might not have lost in the sand after only one round of the main game.

The second time, although Xiangbei's point guards were not at the first level in the team, fortunately, there were two point guards in the team at that time, Endo and Mizuno, who were barely qualified and had their own characteristics. Under Suzuki's extreme wheel warfare style, Xiangbei barely defeated Lingnan and Buri and boarded the last train to the whole country, but it was limited to strength and failed to go far.

After Sakuragi joined the team this year, Xiangbei finally once again had the country's top point guard, which made Suzuki more tricks when arranging tactics, and it was no wonder that he couldn't suppress his pride and ambition, and put the slogan of "dominating the country" back up.

After Sakuragi joined, Suzuki's biggest headache was how to arrange Mizuno's position.

In all fairness, even if Mizuno is not as good as Sakuragi, with his strength, it will be difficult for him to become a water cooler administrator. However, the reality is that there is a trend towards this situation.

Sakuragi's body is too strong, although he is second only to Akagi in height in the team, his physical endurance is surprisingly good, and he doesn't need to rest for the whole game when he sprints back and forth, which seriously compresses Mizuno's playing time.

Take this game as an example, with the famous physique of the Makimonochi against the entire first half, this kid came down, wiped his face with a towel, drank some water casually, and then energetically as if he had just completed a warm-up, followed Suzuki's side with bright eyes, listening to his tactics of arranging substitutes.

This vitality makes Rukawa Kaede, who is also a first-year student, envious.

After experiencing a wild outburst at the end of the first half, although Rukawa did not run out of physical strength and lost his combat strength, he also needed to close his eyes and recuperate in time. His physical strength is not bad, but it is still a little insufficient for the task that Suzuki pressed on his head.

When attacking, you have to be a sharp knife, and when you defend, you have to take into account Qingtian and God, Rukawa is not the trump card of Xiangbei, not the core of Xiangbei, but it bears the same responsibility as the trump card core.

Suzuki didn't actually want Rukawa to do so much, and small forward was never the focus of his tactics, but under Rukawa's strong request, Suzuki still agreed to his willfulness.

Suzuki admires Rukawa's spirit of never admitting defeat and never slacking off, and it is this spirit that allows him to keep up with Sakuragi's footsteps and reach his own bottleneck earlier than in the original world line.

Relatively speaking, Sakuragi's enterprising spirit is actually not as good as Rukawa, and his love for basketball is more than one grade worse than Rukawa and Akagi.

This can be seen in the mental state of several people when they play basketball.

After playing at a high level and completing the offense or defense with wonderful moves, Akagi and Rukawa are either happy or sullen, and can be happy for a long time, and then use a more focused spirit and higher enthusiasm to trigger a better performance in the next round.

Sakuragi, on the other hand, is just smiling at most, and his expression will quickly cool down. Even if the smile is still on the lips, it seems to be frozen. For him, it is a matter of course to behave well.

Sakuragi's gaze is too far, too high, so he can face the bumps under his feet lightly, any obstacle must be crossed, and how to cross it is not worth mentioning.

It's been five years, and Suzuki has forgotten the red-haired woman who once amazed him, and he can't even recall his face, but Sakuragi, who should be more forgetful, has always remembered the bits and pieces of what happened back then, and has never been able to come out of the past.

Suzuki thought that basketball would distract Sakuragi and erase the pain in his heart, but he failed. Although basketball has become a crutch to support Sakuragi's return to a normal life, it has also become an obsession to go to the United States, find his mother, and question her.

The fact that motivates Sakuragi to train hard and move forward like a perpetual motion machine in basketball is not a love for basketball, and this fact will surely shatter the glasses of countless people, but this is the truth!

Suzuki knew that this was not normal or good for Sakuragi, but he didn't dare to interfere anymore. Giving hope to a man, and then taking away his hope, making him desperate, is something that only a demon can do. Suzuki doesn't have a deep hatred for Sakuragi, on the contrary, the same in and out over the years has made him have a little bit of affection for this unfortunate child.

Suzuki also pinned his hopes on love, hoping that love would change Sakuragi's character, but his efforts were unsuccessful.

Sakuragi firmly closed his mind. Only Suzuki and Horie, who helped him five years ago in his helpless days, can still make him a little closer, and no one else can touch his heart.

Even Captain Akagi's sister, Haruko Akagi, couldn't keep Sakuragi's eyes. Sakuragi looks at her, and there is no difference between looking at Kuwata and Sasaoka. This also made Suzuki, who took some careful thought and let Haruko Akagi enter the basketball club early, a little disappointed.

Suzuki sat in the chair, wandering around the world, and his mind was long detached from the game itself.

Suddenly, a delicate call came to Suzuki's ears. Suzuki recognized the voice of Haruko Akagi, came back to his senses, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Haruko Akagi, who was in charge of recording the data, said a little anxiously: "Another three points!" Supervision, Hainan chased the score to only 3 points! We only have a 1 goal advantage! ”
