Chapter 40: The First Battle of the Round Robin, Hainan (9)

Mike said with emotion: "I really should have pulled Fujisawa and Mingtaka over to watch this game." It is said that we are not good at dribbling, and we did not meet the weaker Hainan and Xiangbei, but stayed in the same competition area as Lingnan, which is at the peak. Looking at it now, even if we play these two teams, we have no chance of winning. ”

Shi Wei nodded and said: "We won the warm-up match with Xiangbei, which greatly improved everyone's confidence." But now it seems that we only won a crippled Xiangbei team, and the two first-year newcomers who are missing have greatly improved their strength. Especially the red-haired Sakuragi, who can actually have a tie with the gentry, is really terrifying! ”

Mike picked up the conversation and said, "That Rukawa is also a good player in attack, if he is also there in that warm-up game, I don't think I can defend against him." In addition, the number 6 (Wu Dai) and the number 9 (Shakura) who are currently on the field are also very good. I have inquired, the biggest feature of Xiangbei is that they are very good at rotation. The more people who can play, the stronger they are. ”

Shi Yu then commented: "Just looking at the starting lineup, Hainan is only a little bit better than us. Even if the inside line formed by Nataka and Fujisawa cannot suppress each other, they will not be suppressed by each other. The characteristics of that shooting guard are very similar to mine, if the two of us are in position, we will either blow each other up or exchange each other, and then you and Mu will blow up the opponent in our respective positions, and it is generally a five-five situation. ”

Mike continued: "It's just that if we were standing in front of Hainan, we would have reached the limit at this point in time." ”

Shi Ji was silent for a moment, and then said: "Yes, although I am very unwilling, I have to admit that at this time with such a high-intensity rhythm of the game, I must have no physical strength." But looking at the starters of the Hainan team who have played so far, their movements are still sensitive, this technique may not be commendable, but this physical strength is really admirable. ”

The corners of Mike's mouth twitched, and he forced a smile and said, "If you're frustrated, you can stop." The most positive aspect for us is that we have the highest green wind, which is the second year, and there will be no loss of squad by the time we reach the Winter Cup. And no matter which team in the top four, the strength will be greatly reduced. ”

Shiyu stretched out his hand and pointed to the field and said: "Takasago's departure will make the loopholes in Hainan's inner line more obvious, and Mu's departure is an irreparable loss!" The situation in Xiangbei will be better, and the strength of the main lineup will not change much, but this large number of third-year retirements will eventually have an impact on their playing style. ”

Mike thought for a while and said: "In Lingnan's third year, only the center Yuzhu is the main starter, although their backup center strength is only average, but overall, it will still be difficult to entangle." We haven't fought in Xiangyang yet, and judging from the data, their main force is the third grade, but I don't know who else is in the first and second grades. In this way, during the Winter Cup, we still have to pray that we can draw a good lottery and strive to play Hainan, right? ”

"This year's Winter Cup will be held in Kanagawa, and there will be two places in the prefectural qualifiers. Looking at Xiangyang's strength this year, there should still be a great hope of winning the championship or runner-up. This will give you one less competitor. If we can defeat any two opponents in Hainan, Lingnan and Xiangbei, the qualification spot should be secure. ”

Mike was fascinated and sighed, "I really want winter to come earlier!" It's so uncomfortable that I can't play just by watching the game! ”

Mike's so-called discomfort is just the discomfort of seeing the hunt, but not being able to participate.

However, the discomfort felt by the pastor is that he is mired in a quagmire, and he cannot be strengthened.

Hainan, which has made a new round of adjustments, has been staying on the field of starters, only the pair of guards Mu and God.

God is now playing an alternative power forward, playing similar to Maori on the offensive end, focusing on outside projection. The position of shooting guard was given to the new Gong Yi.

Gong Yi is very short, short-sighted, and wears sports glasses, so he can't tell that he is playing basketball at all.

However, here in Xiangbei, Wu Dai did not dare to relax with him at all. As soon as this little man came on the court, he shot a long-distance three-pointer, although the action was not good-looking, but he got a real 3 points, and the difference was close to 2 points at once.

Wu Dai on the Xiangbei side wanted to fight back one immediately, but found that Gong Yi not only had a unique offensive skill, but also was quite skilled in defense, and almost took the ball out of his hand.

Fortunately, Mizuno noticed Wu Dai's predicament and rushed over to take the ball away, defusing a very likely equalizer for Hainan.

Mizuno dribbles to the other side and tries to match up with Shakura.

The sand warehouse was sealed by Kosuga in the bottom corner, and ran back to answer.

Mu and Kosuga both followed closely, their eyes locked on the object they were responsible for defending.

Mizuno judged that it was difficult for Shacang to have a chance to make a move, and reached out to bring the ball in front of him, but did not let go, but turned around and dribbled forward by himself.

Shacang and Mizuno have played the ball for the past few years, and they have cooperated very tacitly, and immediately blocked the captain of Hainan for Mizuno, but Hainan's strain is not covered, and Xiao Kan also immediately gave up with the anti-sand warehouse, and turned to open his hand to intercept Mizuno who held the ball.

Mizuno was in the opposite position with Mu in this half, and the more he played, the more confident he became, and then he suddenly felt it, and made a pass to the back of Kosuga, and took advantage of Kosuga's hand to intercept it, and immediately jumped sideways and jumped.

Mizuno's style of play has always been based on passing, and there are very few breakthroughs and shots, but this time it suddenly changed, not only got rid of Mu, but also deceived Kosuga, who was making up for the defense.

The basketball did not face any obstacles, followed the established trajectory, and fell into the hoop.

Mu shook his head, didn't blame Kosuga, and opened his hand to ask Takasago for the ball.

The previous round was too ordinary in this match, even if it was Mizuno's first shot, his first score.

Hainan's players are famous in the county for their good physical strength, but the hard work of Xiangbei's substitutes is also famous. There are too many people in Xiangbei who can play, and most of them will be rotated, which means that during the time they play, they can run at full speed from the beginning of the game to be replaced.

In recent years, Xiangyang has stood alone, and Hainan, Lingnan, Xiangbei, and Wuyuan have risen and fallen, but after careful calculation, Xiangbei is the bitter master of Hainan most of the time. As long as Hainan's main force can't beat Xiangbei's starters, then basically Hainan will be dragged to death by Xiangbei's rotation tactics.

In order to prepare for this game with Xiangbei, Gao Tou deliberately prepared a back hand, allowing Qingtian to repeatedly impact at the expense of physical strength in the first half, and change the tactics to play two three-point shooters in the second half.

But from the beginning of the game, Hainan has never been ahead, when the score difference is large, it has to reach double digits, and when it is small, there are always 2 to 4 points, as if you can catch up with it, but it has never really been like this.

Kosuga, Kami, and Miyaki are all running wildly, interspersed with each other, trying to create opportunities for their teammates to shoot three-pointers.

However, with all his might, he hit such a one, but Xiangbei was able to quickly fight back.

Hainan has two three-point shooters on the court, Shen and Gong Yi, and there are also two in Xiangbei!

Wu Dai and Shacang ran away to the empty space, and Mizuno's pass was not inferior to Makii's, and he could always pass at the right time to form an assist.

After a few more rounds of back and forth, Mu suddenly looked up and found that the score had come to 92-88, and there were only 3 minutes left in the clock!

The gentry suddenly felt a sense of weakness.
