Chapter 13: Oda Kiri's Run

Takenaka stepped forward to salute Maki and said, "Takenaka Xiayang." Hello Maki seniors, please give me a lot of advice in the future. ”

Maki looked at the hedgehog head in front of him, who was half a head shorter than himself and had a somewhat handsome face, and responded politely, "Hello Takenaka." Don't dare to give advice, let's improve each other through competition. ”

The two stood in the center circle, and the players from the two teams around them stood in pairs, waiting for the referee Nagashima to open the whistle fairly.

Nagashima is a sophomore at Oda Kiri, and his ball skills are not bad, with a hand-shot shot and a power forward position. Because of the name "fair", he is usually pulled by people to be a referee, but today he is a Feng woman, but he has no emotion.

In the jumping stage, Maki didn't feel much pressure, his height and arm span exceeded that of Takenaka, and the two of them were about the same as the bouncing ball, so this first attack was naturally launched by Xiangbei.

Compared with Xiangbei's main lineup in last year's Winter Cup, the current team has undergone personnel changes on the forward line, and Endo has chosen a conservative offensive approach and let Kuroda play the first ball.

Kuroda beckoned Shakura to cover him, but Shakura naturally didn't dare to disobey, pulled out from the top of the arc, and helped Kuroda block the mountain pass.

Kuroda took a step inside to stop in order to ensure his shooting percentage, and then used his toes from the bottom up, slightly off the ground, and easily threw the first ball into the basket.

2-0。

Maki, who was standing under the basket and was about to grab a rebound, saw that the ball had entered, and immediately beckoned Hotta and Sakura and said, "Hurry up and return to defense!" He took the lead in his own half of the pitch.

Maki and the others are playing an old game with Oda Kiri's gang, and it has long been clear what tactics the other party is, but a few freshmen don't know, although there is a reminder from Maki, but they are still a step slower, only looking at the other four in three seconds, hula la all rushed through the half, and even Okamura, who served, ran alongside the two of them.

Four against three, among which Maki hasn't had time to rush back to the basket, in fact, there are only two guards on defense, where can this stop the wolf-like Oda Cut.

Nakai held off Endo, Takenaka and Yamaguchi passed Kuroda's save, and then after Yamaguchi's pass, Tanaka cut to the basket to level the score.

Oda Kiri's attack, from serve to score, took a total of seven seconds, and when the ball landed, Hotta and Shakura had not yet returned to the defensive position!

"So fast!" Mizuno was stunned by the whirlwind speed of Oda Kiri, "Who can defend against this kind of attack?" ”

"Huh."

Someone next to Mizuno chuckled, and when he turned his head to look, it was Yanagisawa, the deputy of the team.

Yanagisawa patted him and said, "Don't worry. We have a way to deal with it. Their run-and-gun tactics were designed for them by our Suzuki supervisors. ”

These people in Oda Kiri's height are all average, Okamura barely exceeds 185cm, Nagashima is 183cm, and the rest are less than 1.8 meters.

Without the height of the inside line, then the positional attack and defense are basically impossible to play, so Suzuki asked them to try to use run-and-bomb tactics.

In a training match at the end of last year, Oda Kiri's half-baked run bombardment, which was only five minutes cooked, actually beat Maki and others to an embarrassment, and lost the game by 10 points.

Later, the two sides fought twice, and although Oda Kiri still improved, after Suzuki pointed out the flaws, Xiangbei never lost again, but it was very difficult to win.

It can be said that this set of tactics tailored for Oda Kiri, who is not outstanding, has elevated Oda Kiri, who is not talented, to the level of Xiangbei.

Yanagisawa pointed: "You watch their attacks play very fast, but in fact, there are only two people who really run fast, Tanaka and Nakai, and the others just take advantage of the start." In fact, just now Nakai was already regarded as a pair with Endo, and it lost its effect. If Hotta and Sakura could have returned to the defense in time just now and dragged their attack to the position, then their attack would have been very difficult. ”

Mizuno asked, "Does this mean that as long as we keep an eye on these two people, we can block their attack?" ”

Yanagisawa smiled dumbly, paused, shook his head and said, "How can it be so easy!" Tactics are dead, but people are alive. We can keep an eye on their counter-attack points, won't they cover each other and get rid of our marking? Don't try to interrupt the opponent's attack all at once, we need to defend ourselves well. Although everyone has the ability to hit, not everyone can vote accurately. No matter who they are pushing with the ball, we can't focus all our attention on the person with the ball, but we have to adjust our responsibilities in time to make sure that everyone on the other side has our people around, at least when they shoot, there is some interference, and that's enough. The ability to resist interference is not strong, which is one of their stubborn diseases. Of course, there are also people in Odakiri's team who need to focus on defense. Tanaka and Yamaguchi are two, so you need to pay more attention. ”

Speaking of which, the field has changed again.

This time, due to Shakura's timely defense, both Tanaka and Nakai were watched, and Kuroda, who was next to Yamaguchi, was also working hard to follow.

Nakai made a gesture to make his own shot, but Endo only symbolically reached out to block, completely unconvinced that he would be able to shoot near the three-point line.

Nakai smiled and started to punch inside.

Endo was stunned for a moment, pasted it up to seal the route to go inside, and then saw Nakai return the ball backwards, and then followed the center Takenaka to make a sharp stop, dodge Maki, and then jumped up to shoot.

The ball went in.

Takenaka's sudden stop and very consistent shooting action made Maki, who was reduced to a background board, praise, "This ball is beautiful." ”

Takenaka smiled heartily and said, "The ancestors have won the award." I haven't even blocked my ancestors' offense under the basket so far! ”

Today's warm-up game is mainly to examine the progress of the freshmen and the degree of run-in with the team's tactics, so Maki is playing with it. When attacking, he mainly stands on the inside, focusing on rebounding and creating opportunities for the second offense.

Hotta did a good job of protecting the rebounds. The opponent's third-year big forward Okamura actually had no upper hand over him, a freshman, and let Maki easily suppress Takenaka, who was not allowed to be tall, one-on-one.

And Shakura's performance is a little worse. Tanaka is not well-known in the prefecture, and he is not as good as Yanagisawa in terms of technology, but there is one thing where he is at least Yanagisawa, and that is his speed.

With his strong explosiveness and skillful teamwork, Tanaka was often able to shake off the sand and let Endo come over to make up for it. However, it was difficult for Shakura to rotate to prevent Nakai from playing against Endo.

Fortunately, with Maki's strategy, Shacang still made achievements on the offensive end, and did a good job in layups and mid-range shots, shooting 4 times and scoring 3 goals.

It's just that this performance is much worse than Suzuki's positioning of him as an outside defender.

For his performance, Shakura was a little apprehensive in his heart, and he spared no effort when defending, but it was easier to be ridden off by Tanaka.

Maki noticed the strangeness of Shacang in time, leaned into his ear and said, "Calm down, and fight according to your usual habits first." It's true that you're no match for him right now, but if you interfere with him enough, you're done. Basketball is a five-on-five game, he has teammates, and you have too. Don't think you're done all by yourself. You have to learn to trust and rely on your teammates. ”
