Chapter 22: Sliding into the Abyss
"What? Do you have a way? Yasuda looked at Ino in surprise, not convinced.
"Ancestor, I think even Captain Akagi is helpless, can you have more ideas than him?" Tsunoda also doesn't believe it, he and Ino are both marginal people in the team, and the relationship is very good, so he is much more casual when he speaks, and he questions directly.
Ino scratched his scalp, he wasn't sure himself, and said with some embarrassment: "I just have an idea, you listen to it." ”
Yasuda and Tsunoda both nodded.
Ino said: "Today's opponent, to be honest, is not worse than us in terms of overall strength, and we have to admit this first." ”
Yasuda and Tsunoda still nodded, there was no way not to admit it, the score was put there!
Ino continued: "Actually, if we had been in the current main lineup from the beginning, we might not have played like this, maybe we would have fallen behind, but certainly not as much as now. ”
Yasuda agreed, but he urged: "We can also see this, the ancestors should first say that you have any way to reverse this situation?" ”
Ino smiled and said, "Don't worry. I analyze a little bit. Now in the five positions, we have the advantage in the center and point guard, and in the power forward position, Maori and the opponent are tied. Maori is a bit better than the opposing captain in terms of scoring ability, but the opposing team has a pretty good rebounding and is generally equally effective. And the reason why the score difference continues to widen after we are in the main force is because the opponent's two strong points are all in the most suitable position for scoring. If we want to turn the situation around, we must first crack the opponent's strengths, even if it is one of them. ”
Tsunoda said, "You're right! So, the two positions of small forward and shooting guard, which one should we defend first? ”
Ino smiled: "Of course it's a scoring guard!" That small forward is too strong, and the people in our team who are here now, even if they try their best to defend, no one can defend him one-on-one. ”
Yasuda sighed: "So who do you think is better to guard him?" I've seen it before, the opposing shooting guard has a high shooting point and is very good at confrontation, and it's not easy to defend. At least people of my height are given for nothing. Now the other two quarterbacks, the Mu Dusk Ancestor and the Wu Dai Ancestor, don't seem to be able to do it. ”
Ino said, "You're right. In my plan, it is to remove the ancestors of the Wu Dynasty. ”
Yasuda asked, "Then who do you think you need to use to defend him?" ”
Ino said: "The height must be enough, and the pace must be able to keep up, so naturally there is only Maori." ”
Tsunoda and Yasuda said in unison: "Nani? ”
Ino explained: "Anyway, Maori stays on the inside, and it is also counteracting with the opponent's power forward role, so it is better to pull to the outside line to defend the opponent's main scoring point." His place can be filled by Hotta. Hotta is not as good as Mori in terms of scoring ability, but in terms of rebounding, he is slightly better than him. Roughly speaking, we sacrifice some offensive ability, and while strengthening the defense, we can also block one of the opponent's main firepower points! Before this substitution, we generally relied on Akagi's scoring strength to fight against the other two, and after the adjustment, it was one against one. ”
When Yasuda heard this, he smiled and said, "This method is good, maybe it really works, let's go and talk to Akagi's ancestors quickly." ”
Ino stopped him and said, "Don't worry, there are still a few minutes before the start of the second half, help me think about it, are there any other loopholes in this plan?" Let's think about it a little more and talk to Akagi again. ”
Yasuda and Tsunoda had any ideas, and after a perfunctory moment, they hugged Ino and came to Akagi.
Akagi and Mu Du were sitting in the city of sorrow, and they didn't have an idea, and when they heard Ino's method, they felt that it might work, but they didn't have time to think about it, so they immediately copied it and started to play the second half.
The jumper was replaced by the two-meter-tall Akagi, who was not an opponent and ceded the power of the first attack in the second half.
Akagi handed over Mizuno, let Mizuno organize calmly, and squeezed into the inner line by himself to continue to "bully" Minggao.
Minggao's strength is not bad, his height and technique are first-class, and he can be compared with Xiangyang's center Hua Xingtou and Lingnan's center Yuzhuchun, and they are included in the four major centers in the county.
After the Hainan team graduated from Liangchuan and Damen, the center was broken.
Although Kazuma Takasago is skilled and has some experience, his performance in the last Winter Cup was quite poor, and his gross profit was not as good as that of catching ducks on the shelves.
Therefore, this session of Akagi and others are only called the three major centers in the county, not the "four big" in the past.
I don't have a lot of experience in high-level competitions, and it's a tough injury for a high name. If he is in the opposite position with Hanagata and Yuzumi, he may fall behind, but he will definitely not fall into a situation where he is almost blown up like when he meets Akagi.
But Akagi is surpassing him in all aspects, which makes Minggao seem to have encountered a natural enemy, no matter what he does, it is a bad move, and the only thing he can do is to use tough confrontation to accelerate the consumption of Akagi's physical strength.
Relying on Akagi's activity, Xiangbei counterattacked strongly at the beginning of the second half, played a small climax, and gradually narrowed the difference to 5 points.
However, after adapting to the tactical changes in Xiangbei, Coach Midorifue's Ofune gestured to captain Fujisawa, and Fujisawa began to wrap up Akagi on the defensive end.
This caused Akagi to fall silent after the outbreak. After Wu Dai left the game and the gross profit moved out, Xiangbei fell into a scoring drought again.
Twilight is defended by Mike and has no chance to make a move. The difference in physical fitness between the two is too great, even if Mu Twilight pulls the empty position in the bottom corner to shoot a three-pointer, he is instantly rushed to the front by Mike, who reacted, and flew the ball out of bounds.
And when Maori pulled out near the three-point line, his shooting percentage dropped significantly. In addition, the actual number of opponents is not a shooter who can simply shoot three points, and his defensive skills are also quite good, Maori barely shot twice, but failed to score, and the second time Akagi grabbed the rebound and made up for his own dunk, only to barely add two points to Xiangbei.
Akagi dunked and landed, but when he saw the name of the failed defense, not only did he not have a frustrated expression, but he taunted him with some excitement: "Is this the only strength of Xiangbei?" What a disappointment for us! ”
Akagi didn't know why, but in the next few minutes, he finally understood why Mingtaka would say such a thing.
Led by Mike, supplemented by Fujisawa and Minoru, Midori Wind spared no effort to launch a stormy offensive. Mike's breakthrough, Fujisawa's hook hand and board under the basket, and the actual shooting on the outside, the action rate seemed to have increased by a notch all of a sudden, and the three people in Xiangbei were caught off guard.
Including the Maoli who had vaguely restricted the actual amount before, the three of them suddenly found that they couldn't prevent each other at all.
Ki Twilight was broken through in a row, Hotta was shaken so that he couldn't find Kita, and Mori paid two fouls, and made Minoru score four points in a row!
74-59。
Xiangbei fell into an extremely unfavorable situation.
