Chapter 21: A Useless Struggle
As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.
Akagi didn't wait for the ball to go in, then turned to Kiki and said, "The small forward and scoring guard on the opposite side are strong, and we are in trouble in this game." The two of us have to be ready to play at all times. ”
Mu Du nodded slightly, agreeing, but waited for more than a minute, watching the two sides go back and forth for three or four rounds, before responding, "It's better to wait until halftime to adjust." Hotta and Yamada are two rare matches, and replacing them now will dampen their enthusiasm. ”
Akagi's brows furrowed and loosened, and he said, "I'll listen to you first." Although the Green Wind offense is very aggressive, there is no system in defense, and it will only defend one against one. With Mizuno here, we can cooperate and play, and there is no problem in attack, even if it is a mutual explosion. It's just that I'm worried that the rebounding ball will get out of control. ”
Mu Du lifted his glasses and said, "Well, I feel that way too." The opponent's center is very solid and uses the height advantage to the extreme, and Hotta is not his opponent. In order to open up the offense, Maori has to move around the perimeter a lot, and our offensive rebounds will definitely have problems. The reason why it is not obvious now is because Maori and Wudai feel good today, and they have not lost it until now. ”
As soon as the two said that Xiangbei's offensive rebounds might not be able to be saved, such a situation immediately appeared on the court.
In order to chase the score, Wu Dai barely came to a three-point backward jumper with someone interfering. The ball went out and couldn't go in, and the rebound was picked up by Minggao, and passed to Mike's hand through the real hand.
Mike used a juggling-like move to make Yamada misjudge and pounce in the wrong direction, and then strode the meteor, continuously changing direction and shaking past the chasing Wooyo and Mori, and finally jumped high in front of Mizuno and won the dunk.
Seeing such a wonderful dunk, almost everyone got up from their seats and cheered for the ball.
Ki Twilight and Akagi also stood up in shock, and the two looked at each other, Ki Twilight said something, but Akagi didn't hear a word.
At this moment, the basketball hall is full of people.
Mike himself is more than 1.9 meters tall, and this jump is close to a meter, and the whole person almost jumps on Mizuno's head, but it is still a little close.
It's just that Mizuno saw Mike's ferocity and cooperated to dodge, which made Mike's perfect riding buckle this time.
Mizuno hurriedly returned to defense, he judged that he couldn't prevent Mike's attack, and immediately gave up the plan to jump and block, but shrank down the whole person, so as not to be injured by Mike's knees and legs. However, Mizuno raised his hands still blocked Mike's right leg, and he was unsteady on his feet by his strength, and sat on the ground with his ass back.
Mike fell to the ground after dunking, saw that the belt fell to Mizuno, and bent down to pull him up.
Wu Dai came back to serve, and when he saw that Mizuno was a little stunned, he asked, "Mizuno, what's wrong?" Injured? ”
Mizuno came back to his senses, shook his head, and said, "I'm fine." He was staring at Mike with some fear in his eyes.
It seems to be affected by this dunk, Mizuno's performance in the next game was a little sluggish, and with Xiangbei's attack, he began to encounter obvious resistance.
Woody was actually killed, and Maori retreated to the three-point line to get the ball, and reflexively shot iron.
Green Wind took advantage of Xiangbei's miss and played a wave of fast breaks, and finally big forward Fujisawa Shou received Minggao's pass and made a layup.
At 45-34, the difference between the two teams reached double digits.
Akagi couldn't sit still, pulled Mu Dusk, and said, "Let's go!" ”
Mu Du glanced at the time, 15 minutes and 23 seconds, almost 5 minutes before the intermission, but considering the current unfavorable situation in Xiangbei, he still followed Akagi to the technical station to register.
The appearance of the main and deputy captains of Xiangbei made the three people who were a little anxious Maoli, Mizuno and Wu Dai feel angry, and they are ready to fight back.
But they were too early to be optimistic!
Akagi and Mu Dui's play, if two more shooting points are added, so that Green Wind can not arbitrarily contain Maori, so that Xiangbei's offense can return to the normal track.
However, the appearance of the two did not help much in the defense of Xiangbei.
The focus of Green Wind's interior attack is not on Nataka and Fujisawa, but on the various singles that Mike cuts into.
After Mu Du replaced Yamada, he gave Xiangbei an extra three-point shot, but at the same time, it also made Mike's breakthrough more unscrupulous.
Feeling the pressure of defending Mike firsthand, Mu Du realized that he still underestimated him by just watching from the sidelines. The several defensive countermeasures designed in his heart had no effect at all in the face of Mike's speed and strength, and he was directly run over by relying on his physical fitness.
This yellow-haired boy is actually stronger than Rukawa, and he is about to catch up with Sakuragi!
Mu Dui's heart made an assessment, and hurriedly turned around and shouted, "Akagi, be careful! ”
Unfortunately, it was too late, Akagi jumped to block Mike's layup, leaned forward slightly, and was used by Mike to cheat a foul with a lever.
At the end of the first half, Xiangbei Africa not only failed to catch up with the green wind, but the difference actually expanded to 12 points.
At halftime, the three starters leaned back in their chairs to breathe and rest, and Akagi and Mu Du sat opposite each other, silent, and there was nothing they could do in their hearts.
And Ino, Yasuda, and Kakuda, who came with the team, were also like frost-beaten eggplants, wilted.
A few of them thought that they would come with the team to abuse a dish, and they would be able to get time to play after the main team played. At this moment, seeing that the team was behind in the score, he knew that his strength was not good, but he didn't come to Akagi to ask to play, so he chatted nonsense on the side.
The third-year Ino is an old fritter, he has only entered the main selection in the Winter Cup twice, but Xiangbei's Winter Cup has not played well so far, and he is so tragic that he has not played an official game for Xiangbei so far.
Ino's position is a small forward, and he used to be the third substitute in the team after Shakura and Ki Twilight, and his status is comparable to Yamada, who is one level lower than him.
As soon as Rukawa arrives this year, Yamada can still count on the Winter Cup and next year's competition, but he can't wait.
Therefore, after Ino lost this year's main election, he chose to quit the basketball team and only retained the identity of the member.
However, Ino has played few games, but his knowledge is not short. Perhaps it was the relationship between the bystanders, who saw the team's predicament clearly at a glance, and said to Yasuda and Tsunoda: "We are not in a good situation in this game." I knew that Green Wind was so strong, we should have all the players in place, and then we would play this game against the other party. Sakuragi and Rukawa, even if there is only one, we can guarantee that we will not lose. Both, Green Wind is no match for us. ”
Kakuda narrowed his eyes, spread his hands and said, "Ancestor Ino, aren't you talking about it!" We're the only ones here this time, and we're the ones who haven't played yet, so is there anything you can do to save the day? ”
Ino stroked his mustache and said thoughtfully, "If you follow my method, maybe there is a glimmer of hope." ”
