Even if it's not a real wood, it's just a 186cm Yoshino, which is a little taller than Oda Kiri's center Yamada. When jumping the ball, Yamada just stood on tiptoe and didn't jump, watching the basketball be easily slapped by Maki on Endo's hand.

Endo received the ball, observed it, gave up the idea of a fast break, dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and threw it to Yoshino, who ran out of position, and Yoshino made an easy layup.

Next it was Odakiri's turn to attack. After Arima held the ball at the top of the arc, the other four players pulled away, leaving room for Arima to play alone.

In the face of Yanagisawa, Arima made a gesture and wanted to rely on his height to eat hard, the feints were very realistic, Yanagisawa jumped up to block, and Arima immediately withdrew the ball and broke through to the right side. Yanagisawa played for the first time in the game, and he worked very hard defensively, reaching out in mid-air and wanting to pull out the ball, but he was beaten by a horse, and this breakthrough was still a feint, turning back to his original position, and winning the shot.

A series of feints made Suzuki's eyes light up, such a skillful technique, except for the captain Dahe, no one in the Xiangbei team could match.

Xiangbei attacked, the forward line covered each other, Maki retreated some to get the ball, turned around and projected, and the basketball entered the frame steadily.

After two warm-up games, although Maki has been suppressed by Mitsuhashi and Okamoto, the first-class centers in the prefecture, and has been repeatedly exploded on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, the rare good shooting touch among the center players also keeps him from doing nothing. Scoring in two consecutive games has greatly boosted Maki's self-confidence, and when there is a gap, Maki throws crisply, catching opponents who don't know him off guard, so the success rate is quite good.

Oda Kiri's side is still open by four people, the captain is single, and there is a big gap between Yanagisawa's physique, technology and experience and Arima, and he was exploded again.

Just as Yanagisawa couldn't prevent Arima, Yamada and Kudo, who cut the inner line of Oda, couldn't prevent Maki and Yoshino, who had a clear advantage in height, so they had to let them wreak havoc on the inside.

Time passed quickly, Suzuki looked at his watch, it was already 12 minutes later, called a timeout, replaced Yanagisawa, who was mentally and physically exhausted, and replaced it with Takeshi Abe to play small forward.

The score was 29-24, and both sides played at a fast pace, scoring one goal after another.

On the Shobei side, Maki and Yoshino scored 26 of the 29 points, and only Mizuhashi threw a three-pointer from the outside.

Odakiri's side scored 18 points, and the other 3 goals were also scored by Arima after breaking through Yanagisawa.

Suzuki encouraged Yanagisawa and praised him, "Good play." ”

Yanagisawa didn't expect to be praised for such a poor performance, and said a little confidently: "I, I really played well?" ”

Suzuki said, "Then ask Oga-san, what does he think." ”

Taiga said, "Mr. Suzuki is right. Although you have been scored by him from the perspective of the game, from the perspective of your own ability, you have done a good job. ”

Yanagisawa lowered his head and said in his heart, isn't this just saying that my level is poor, and I can accept anything!

Taiga put his hands on Yanagisawa's shoulders, looked at him, and said in a serious tone: "Actually, your performance, the role you played on the court, has exceeded our expectations. ”

Yanagisawa continued to make up for it, and the meaning of this sentence is that you expected me to lose more points, no!

Dahe looked at him with a slanting look in his eyes, a cranky look, gave up purely verbal explanations, and bluntly pounded Yanagisawa on the head with his fist.

Yanagisawa squatted down all of a sudden, covering his head with his hands, and looked at the river with tears in his eyes.

Dahe reached out and grabbed the collar of his jersey, pulled him up, and said, "Are you sober?" ”

Seeing that Taihe's fist was raised again, as if as long as he shook his head, he would eat another iron fist posture, Yanagisawa stretched out his hand to cover his head and said, "I'm sober!" ”

Dahe said: "Wake up, then listen to me!" ”

Dahe pointed to the field and said, "Look at ......."

Yanagisawa turned his head to look, and saw Arima make a feint, causing Abe to jump up and block, and then dribble to break through from the side. He immediately recalled that Arima's first ball was played like this.

Abe watched on the sidelines for more than a quarter, knowing that Arima is good at virtual and real feints, and he is also prepared for this, jumping up and blocking the action is only the upper body stretched violently, and his feet are not completely off the ground, so he brakes in time and turns to follow.

Arima also stopped and retreated sharply, wanting to pitch, Abe's center of gravity changed at this time, and he couldn't jump, but Arima didn't take this opportunity to throw the basketball, but passed it diagonally to Katayama in the corner, Katayama shot three points, and the basketball passed the frame.

Dahe asked, "Do you understand?" ”

Yanagisawa said with some confusion: "The front is the same, it's just that why didn't he shoot when he had a gap in the end?" ”

Dahe replied, "Because of physical strength! ”

"Strea? You mean......" Yanagisawa somewhat understood.

Dahe continued: "Nonsense, you are so tired that your tongue is sticking out, how can that guy be relaxed? Didn't he start splitting the ball before you got off the pitch? ”

"It seems so." Yanagisawa still has an impression of this.

Dahe continued: "It's very tiring to pass one-on-one in a row, and no matter how good your physical strength is, you can't stand up to fighting like this every attack. But apart from his position, Oda Kiri has no points to score. ”

Suzuki listened to the side, nodding frequently. This Oda cut on the field is like a low-profile version of Xiangbei. The same ace with a short center, plus a couple of role players. The difference is that the opponent's center Yamada is shorter than Miyagawa, while the guard Nagashima is biased towards the ball-control organization, and the scoring method is only reliable for layups, and the mid-range shooting is only somewhat certain when the space is open.

In the face of Xiangbei, which has an obvious advantage in height, Yamada and Nagashima both struggled to score, and put the burden on Arima's shoulders alone. When Arima has enough stamina, he can still bite the score, but when his stamina drops, the score is quickly stretched. Moreover, because Arima had shot alone before, when he had to share the ball in order to save physical strength, the others felt cold, and the score would be quickly pulled apart in a short time.

Looking at Arima, who was struggling the field, Taiga couldn't help but recall the situation when he failed in the prefectural competition two years ago.

At that time, the great river, like Arima now, rushed left and right, and was unstoppable. However, individual performance could not cover up the decline of the whole team, and the harder you worked, the more you could feel the frustration.

All the points that can be scored are strangled, and all that can be done is to break through and make layups; Breakouts, pull-outs, jumpers; Pick-and-roll, jump shot......

Then, exhausted, sit on the field and watch a rout.

Dahe has always wondered why Hainan's high-head coach did not take the means of wrapping up after the outside defensive elite did not work, but let himself play. Now, watching Arima from the sidelines, like a worm in a spider's web, the more he struggled, the deeper he sank, he understood.

It turns out that as you said, it's not that I'm not strong enough, but that Xiangbei is not strong enough!
