Xiangyang's dominance in the national competition has made basketball develop rapidly in Kanagawa Prefecture, and now there are fans on the basketball courts in the streets and alleys almost all the time, instead of being deserted and crowded like when it was first built a few years ago.

As one of the major events in the Kanagawa basketball world, the summer tournament is undoubtedly a must-see for every basketball fan.

Today's battle between Xiangbei and Hainan attracted a large number of spectators, and the stadium that can accommodate more than 2,000 people was almost full.

A considerable number of them are coaches and players from various schools.

Compared with Xiangyang's match against Wuyuan, which was neither suspenseful nor affected by the qualifying situation, the one that took place at the Fujisawa City Gymnasium was more attractive to professionals.

In particular, schools that are interested in making a breakthrough in the prefectural competition.

The strong are always in the company of the strong.

As the top eight teams this year, Lingnan and Sunrise West, which are unlikely to be enemies next summer, sat together at this time.

The old man Tanaka in the west of the sunrise is over sixty years old, and his seniority is no less than that of Anxi Mitsuyoshi in Xiangyang. Coach Taoka of Lingnan is also a junior in front of him, so when he talks to him, his tone is very respectful.

Seeing the main players of the two teams returning to fight again, Tanaka said in a tone of seeking advice: "The two sides have been on the main force and on the bench, and the fight is still a draw." I can't see the trend of the game clearly, I don't know what Tanaka's ancestors think? ”

Old man Tanaka laughed twice and replied: "The strength of the two teams is very close, and it is normal to see clearly. I think the difference between the two teams in the end should not exceed 3 points. Hainan's advantage lies in its overall strength, better control of rebounding, and stable performance. The advantage of Xiangbei is that it has more than one player who can shoot three-pointers, and once the hand style is smooth, the explosiveness will be amazing. ”

"That is to say, the key to the victory or defeat of this game lies in whether Xiangbei can make a breakthrough on the inside line, and whether Hainan can suppress Xiangbei's outside three points." ”

Tanaka nodded, "Exactly." ”

What Tanaka and Taoka can see, as the head coaches of the two teams on the field, Takao and Suzuki are also very clear, and for this reason, they also have their own arrangements before the main team goes on the field.

The key to the victory or defeat of this game, whether it is Xiangbei or Hainan, cannot be done for a while.

The combination of Akagi and Real Wood seems to have hit an iron wall, and they can't say that there is absolutely no chance, but every time they play CD, they have to pay several times more energy and physical strength than usual.

On the other hand, Liang Chuan's score at this point is easier, after figuring out Akagi's strengths and weaknesses, Liang Chuan added feints before picking and dunking, in order to delay Akagi's decision for a moment. His height and reach are ultimately a bit ahead of Akagi, and as long as Akagi's defensive movements are a beat slower, it will be enough for him to put the ball in the basket.

Akagi continued to suffer from Liang Chuan's hands, but the only thing that could help him was Maki, who could not form an effective support.

The cooperation between the gate and Liang Chuan is very skillful, he always runs the position that Maki has to defend, as long as Maki dares to move, Liang Chuan will immediately pass the ball to form an assist.

On the outside, Kuroda thought that his most feared Makishin did not play, and it was not Yasumoto, who was more than 1.8 meters tall, who came up, but the front field, which was almost the same as him, and he could happily shoot three points.

Who knows, this mid-range shooter is just an ordinary Hainan substitute guard, and he is actually a full-time defensive player who is stalking, he gave up his offensive position and followed Kuroda all the time, making him feel very awkward from the beginning of running to catch the ball.

Sticking up to Maeda, Kuroda's shots dropped dramatically, and many balls were forced to take shots from inside the three-point line. Fortunately, the feeling he played before was still there, and the hit rate was still high, which was the reason for the score.

Although Xiangbei once relied on Kuroda and Yanagisawa's three-point shots to overtake the score, overall, Xiangbei has shown a trend of inadequacy.

The point difference has gradually changed from the oscillation between Xiangbei's lead by one point and the lag by one point to the gap between the tie and the deficit by two points.

With two minutes left in the game, the score surged to a 72-72 tie.

The main players have been fully rested, and they are all vigorous after they get on the field, and the offensive and defensive rhythm is much faster than in the first half.

Kuroda's stamina dropped quickly, and finally failed to score on a mid-range shot, allowing the opposing front field to go down to a layup to exceed 2 points.

Xiangbei made a comeback, Yanagisawa and Kuroda switched positions, blocked the front field, and gave Kuroda another chance to shoot three points.

It's a pity that Kuroda still didn't grasp it this time, and the rebound was snatched by Liang Chuan again.

Suzuki understood that Kuroda had reached his limit, called Takeyo, and prepared to make a substitution, but there was no dead ball on the field for a while.

Akaji dragged Endo around and around, and received the ball back with Maeno and Kohara, dragging the round for more than twenty seconds, and finally found an opportunity to shoot and threw the ball before the time was up.

This hasty shot naturally couldn't score, but the rebound was obtained by the gate, and the ball was still Hainan's.

The gate returns the ball to Akaji and allows him to continue organizing.

The score was always 2 points behind, and the time was passing bit by bit, Endo couldn't stand Hainan's deliberately controlled time play, and pounced on Akaji.

Akaji faced the somewhat impetuous Endo and skillfully changed hands under his crotch to get rid of him, but he didn't go inside, but was ready to pass the ball to the front field hand that was ripping off.

At this moment, a figure suddenly obscured Akaji's vision. Akaji's heart was shocked, and between the lightning and flint, he changed his hand shape and turned the pass into a throw.

"Smack!" The visitor couldn't catch up and slapped a palm on Akaji's wrist, but by this time the ball had already flown off Akaji's hand.

Akaji rubbed his aching wrist, but looked at Maki who raised his hand proudly. In the clash between the two captains, he was superior in skill and took advantage of it, turning an attack that was not yet a threat into three free throws.

Xiangbei finally created a dead ball and could be replaced, but it had to face a situation where it was possible to fall behind by 5 points.

Of the three free throws, Akaji scored the first two, and in the third, he clearly pushed too hard and missed them.

Liang Chuan had already prepared, he did not stand aside and prepare to grab the rebound, but as if he was sure that Akaji would still score free throws, standing behind Akaji. When Akaji shot his shot, Liang Chuan rushed to the rebound, flew up after the ball smashed the board, took the basketball, and prepared to make up for the dunk.

If Liang Chuan's goal goes in, it will not be a 5-point lead, but a 6-point lead! Xiangbei has to use 2 three-pointers to recover, and it can't let Hainan score again!

None of the players present in Xiangbei, including the substitutes off the field and the spectators on the sidelines, could have guessed that Hainan was still so bold at such an important moment, and they were so greedy that they wanted to finish their work!
