Chapter 45: The Opponent Who Must Be Stepped On: Lingnan (4)
Baoke's play solved the big problem of Lingnan's unfavorable offense, but for defense, it didn't help for a while.
In these rounds, Lingnan won one after another, but Xiangbei did not stop taking points, and always maintained the gap in the score through the two mid-range shots of Maki and Mu Dui.
Today's shooters in Xiangbei feel quite good, with a high shooting rate, occasionally missed, and because of the advantage of rebounding, they can launch a secondary attack, and the overall efficiency is amazing.
Coach Taoka watched a little impatiently from the sidelines and shouted loudly, and then the players of Lingnan stepped up their pressing.
Endo didn't check anything, and fell into the middle of Tsukahara and Baoke, and he couldn't get up in a small space, and he was robbed very embarrassed for a while.
After an emergency stop, Endo dodged Tsukahara's pounce, and found that Hoshina reached out to pick up the ball, and in a hurry, he wanted to exert his strength again, but he didn't step on the force, and the whole person stumbled, and he was about to fall.
At the critical moment, Endo didn't have time to reach out to support the ground, and found a red in the corner of his eye, and with a swing of his right hand that controlled the ball, he tried his best to send the ball out of the place that deviated from Baoko.
The person who came was Mu Dui, who knew that the ball must not be left in his hand at this time, and as soon as he got the ball, he threw it towards Lingnan's rebound.
Mu Dui's move was obviously beyond Kakumatsu's expectations, he was guarding against Mu Dui's line of passing the ball to the retreating real wood, intending to force Mu Dui to pass the ball to Yanagisawa next to Baoke, and then use the absolute numerical advantage of his side in the northern half of Hunan to complete the steal, but he didn't expect Mu Dui to shoot directly in the backcourt.
The long distance, coupled with Mu Dui's poor preparation, made the shot short, rubbed the hoop slightly, and landed to the left.
As soon as Akagi hit it, he knocked Yano into a stumble, took off the rebound, and then turned around and jumped on one foot to pick up the basket.
What Akagi didn't expect was that a hand suddenly stretched out from the side and destroyed his inevitable layup.
Wakamatsu was supposed to come out to defend Maki this time, and when he saw Mu Dui's shot, he immediately turned around and chased back to the basket, and at this moment he jumped up and destroyed Akagi's second shot from behind.
However, Wakamatsu completed this block, and he had already used his strength to feed, and he no longer had the strength to control the whereabouts of the basketball.
In the end, the ball was fanned out of the bottom line by Wakamatsu, and it was still Xiangbei's ball possession.
Endo got up from the ground, rubbed the part that hit the ground first, and ran over to serve with his teeth bared.
Maki took the ball, and as soon as he turned around, he saw that Ruosong was blocking in front of him, he took a step forward to the bottom line, and when Ruo loosened, he immediately relied on him to turn around and break through the first line of defense on the periphery of Lingnan. Maki came to the free throw extension line, raised his hands, and prepared to shoot in the middle, at which point Boko made up for it, raised his hands high, and blocked the line of Maki's shot.
Although Hoshina is a small forward, his height is much taller than that of big forward Yano, and he moves with both hands, directly blocking Maki's sight.
Maki couldn't shoot, but he still had a passing line, flipped his wrist, and threw the ball behind him.
With the fall of Maki and Hoshina, Yano, who was guarding under the basket, suddenly found that a figure behind Maki was jumping up rapidly, holding a basketball in his hand!
It's still Yanagisawa, he can't stop Baoke from stepping forward to defend Maki, but he can still use his tacit understanding with Maki to make Baoke's defense useless.
Seeing the basketball fall into the hoop, Xiangbei's attack finally succeeded with difficulty, and the audience was boiling and applauding this wonderful cooperation.
When the knockout round of the county competition reached the stage of eight into four, the number of spectators who came to the basketball hall to watch the game increased, and the number of people was nearly double that of the previous round, and the basketball hall was roughly filled in by five or six percent.
In the stands above the east entrance, a person slapped the railing vigorously and praised: "Okay, this cooperation is really amazing!" ”
His shout attracted the attention of the people in the stands below, and someone below looked up and said, "Isn't this the gate of Hainan?" How did you have time to watch this game? ”
Eisaku Daimon looked down, recognized the person who shouted, and smiled, "Hello Kondo-senpai." Our captain said that this year's Xiangbei is a bit interesting, and asked me to keep an eye on it. Under the sun, there is some ability in the Central Plains, and Liang Chuan has to pass, so it makes no difference if I don't play or not. But Kondo-senpai, why did you get here? I remember that all four races were held at the same time. ”
Eiji Kondo spread his hands and said: "No way, our newcomers this year are too terrible, so we seniors have no place, so we have to run out to watch other teams play." ”
A person next to Kondo turned around and said hello to the gate, but the gate was startled and said, "Tsuchihashi, even you can't beat the main force!" ”
Tsuchihashi shook his head silently, took out a paper bag and just tore open the potato chips, and lifted it upward.
The gate bent down to take it, took a handful, and returned it to the earth bridge.
Both of them are fringe players who are more than 1.9 meters tall, but they can only play as a second center forward or a substitute center forward in their respective teams.
The gate didn't have anything to say, so he walked down from the upper stand to the two of them and asked, "These potato chips taste good, where did you buy them?" ”
Tsuchihashi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, and then poked Kondo.
Kondo said, "When I came here just now, I bought it on the shopping street next to me." It's called 'Anzai Fried Chicken'. ”
"Anthy?" The corners of the gate's mouth curled, and he said, "It's the same as your coach's last name!" ”
Kondo smiled: "This store is opened by our coach's son, and there is a portrait of Mr. Anzai on the store sign, otherwise how would I have noticed this store?" ”
The gate said: "I heard that your team has a new player from another county, and he immediately became the main selection, could it be the legendary genius grandson of Coach Anzai?" ”
Kondo's face darkened, and he was silent for a while before he replied, "Coach Anzai's grandson is named Yoshiki, and he is still studying in Tokyo!" And Anzai-kun's position is point guard, and our new players are small forwards. ”
As soon as the gate heard that it was a small forward, he immediately stopped asking.
Kondo, a third-year player, played as a small forward, and was originally a member of Shoyang's usual lineup. When the senior plays a scoring guard, he is the starter, and even if the senior plays a small forward, because his physical strength is not very good, Kondo can also get a certain amount of time to come off the bench.
However, the arrival of this transfer student directly put Kondo, who is still quite good, on the cold bench, presumably with two brushes.
Daimon silently took this message to heart, and continued to watch the game with Kondo, while chatting about something that was not nutritious.
By the time they had nothing to talk about, the score on the court had come to 29-37, Xiangbei was still leading by 8 points, and there was not much time left in the first half, only 1 minute left.
