Chapter 103: The Decisive Battle of Lingnan (8)

103

If Suzuki's distress at halftime was one, then after the start of the second half, it was double.

In addition to the point guard position, Xiangbei is also tight in the power forward position.

In this position, Lingnan replaced the tired Asakawa and replaced the new force Wakamatsu Kosuke.

Like Maki, Wakamatsu plays the power forward position with a center-forward style of play, which is actually not unusual, and if you look at the current few years, such a style of play abounds in the world, which is the so-called two-tower tactic.

At that time, players in this position were called two centre-forwards.

However, due to the influence of the NBA, the Japanese basketball community is now more inclined to use tall players with speed or mid-range shooting ability at the No. 4 position as power forwards rather than two centers to enrich the tactics, so it is rare for teams to line up with two centers on the court to protect the interior, even if the team itself can meet this configuration.

Like Atsushi Shihara of the Xiangyang team, Coach Anzai did not limit him to the No. 5 position from the beginning, but after the appearance of Shoichiro Hiroshi Roubayashi this year, Shihara played to the position of power forward, which had little impact on the tactical operation of the entire team, so that even Ashizaki, a star player who can be used as the main ace in any team, has been reduced to a substitute.

It's just that the dual center, while outdated, doesn't mean it's not a proven tactic, especially for teams that don't need to score inside.

And now Lingnan is just such a team.

After Wakamatsu came on the court, he immediately replaced Maki as the first height on the court, and he was born as a pure center, and he suddenly reversed the slightly unfavorable situation of the Lingnan team's rebounding!

Pulling a hair and moving the whole body, the loss of rebounding is directly manifested in the score.

In 10 minutes, Lingnan grabbed 5 more rebounds, 3 defensive rebounds and 2 offensive rebounds than Xiangbei.

And this led to the fact that with 10 minutes left in the game, Lingnan had already led by 8 points at 59-51.

"This won't work!" Arima said worriedly, "Xiangbei must make a change!" ”

"How?" Masasaki Saito of Wuyuan said, "Mizuhashi and Imai are obviously in trouble, and the most powerful guard line in northern Hunan has now been suppressed by Lingnan, and this all-round gap cannot be changed by one or two substitutions." ”

Nakamura retorted: "It can't be said that it was suppressed, at least on the back line, Taiga can still score consistently. At best, it's a mutual explosion. ”

Takatoshi Tsuda supported his teammates and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen Taiga so embarrassed, and in the second half alone, he has already missed two goals. ”

Utsumi said: "Under the defense of Imaji, the ball conceded no less than Taiga, and if Kuroko is counted, the difference in the shooting percentage of the two teams is not big." The river is really a bit terrifying, and even if you don't defend it with all your might, the effect is not bad. ”

Sato defended Imayoshi: "Imayoshi is not in the best shape today, and Kuroko is the same. ”

Shigeru Arakawa said: "What turned the tide was the substitution of Lingnan in the second half. Wakamatsu is still very good at grabbing rebounds. ”

Akihiro Okamoto, who was on the same team as Arakawa, asked, "Is this Wakamatsu the one who competed with you for the championship in the national finals last year?" ”

Arakawa stared at Wakamatsu viciously and replied, "It's not this guy who makes noise all day long, who else?" ”

He Lang looked at the game below thoughtfully, and suddenly said: "Xiangbei may not lose, Lingnan still has hidden dangers." ”

At the same time that River Lang said this, Suzuki explained to Endo, Mizuhashi and others why they didn't adjust: "We have to endure for a while, endure until Lingnan shows its flaws!" ”

Endo asked, "What flaw?" ”

Suzuki shouted to Momoi: "Momoi-san, tell everyone about the statistics of Hoko, as long as the second half." ”

Momoi glanced at the table and immediately replied, "He had 4 points, 2 assists, 1 turnover, and 2 missed shots in the second half." ”

Suzuki nodded and said, "Sure enough, it's similar to what I observed, and Baoke's physical strength has bottomed out." Endo-san, tell Ohga that the next attack will be mostly concentrated in Yoshino's hands, and the last bit of physical strength of Hoshina will be consumed! ”

Endo went to the sidelines and waited for Taiga to approach, and Suzuki said to Mizuhashi-san: "Mizuhashi-san, you prepare, if we want to chase points, we still have to rely on your three-point shot." Kuroko-san played the whole game yesterday, and now he has been defended by Lantau for so much time, and there should be problems with his physical strength. Lingnan fought to the end yesterday before losing, and their main players are definitely not as strong as ours. As long as we hold on now, by the end of the game, we will have a chance to fight back! ”

Under Suzuki's encouragement, the players on the Xiangbei bench stood up one after another to cheer for their teammates on the field.

When everyone dispersed, Momoi asked Suzuki in a low voice, "Sir, Ancestor Taiga, he also played the whole game yesterday." I'm afraid that if he continues to fight like this, he may not insist on the end of the game. ”

Suzuki smiled bitterly and turned his head to look at Momoi, raised his hand to seal her mouth and said, "Just see it, don't say it." We can only hope that Taiga will be able to hold on as much as possible until the end of the match. ”

Time passed another 3 minutes in the torment of the Xiangbei team.

In these three minutes, although Hoko's physical strength reached the limit and could not prevent Yoshino's assault, the difference between the two teams continued to widen.

Imayoshi and Kuroko each scored a three-pointer, and on the Xiangbei side, because of the loss of the rebound, Dahe didn't dare to throw three points casually.

Yoshino's breakaways and splits were sharp, but they could only score 2 points at a time.

Baoke's physical strength was close to exhaustion, and Coach Taoka had already called a player to prepare for a substitution, but Dahe did not let him go, and today he rarely rushed into the interior line, inducing Baoke's defense to foul, and it became a 2+1.

60-69。

Dead ball, Baoko was finally replaced, and a player wearing the No. 8 uniform came on.

The title is before Kuroko, and he should be in the third grade, but Momoi can't remember who he is, whether he has an appearance record, and he didn't know until he looked at the list that his name was Masashi Watanabe.

Seeing that the sharpest fast knife on the Lingnan front line was replaced, Suzuki immediately shouted to Taihe and adjusted his tactics.

Suzuki pointed at Maki and Yoshino and said, "Oha, tell Yoshino to hit back the big forward and let Maki make more shots at the small forward position!" ”

Suzuki's quick adjustment was obviously unexpected by Taoka, the new Watanabe was not bad at speed, and his defense was good, but the height difference of 10 cm made him look particularly weak to defend Maki.

Xiangbei took this opportunity to score two goals in a row by Zhenmu to close the score.
