Chapter 140: Change of Tactics
Chapter 140: Change of Tactics
"What should Coach Anzai do, the score is tied and the defense of Akagi's seniors is ......" Ayako couldn't say anything after that, that is, Akagi alone couldn't prevent Kenjiro at all, but Akagi is the hardest training person in the team, Akagi is demanding of himself and others, and can even be said to be harsh, in the original book, the collapse of the Xiangbei basketball team has a direct relationship with Akagi, it is good to have dreams, but it is not good to put the pressure of dreams on other people.
But now the strength of the team is strong, there are super scorers like Mitsui and King Kong under the basket like Akagi, everyone has expectations for the team's results, and they are naturally willing to train hard, and there are junior high school classmates who came to Xiangbei with Mitsui, although the strength is only at the junior high school level, but it has driven the team atmosphere very well.
Constantly instilling in everyone that we have junior high school MVP Mitsui, and the results will be good in the future, and by the second grade of Mitsui and Akagi, the team really made it to the national competition as they wished, and also won such a good result as the semifinals.
For the passers-by of the Xiangbei basketball team, it can be regarded as a publicly-funded tour, and they also have the capital to brag about in the future, even if they choose a school in the future, it will have a great impact.
When Mitsui and Akagi came to power, Akagi, as the team's training supervisor, everyone complained bitterly, but they knew that it was completely worth it to be able to participate in the national competition and their own efforts.
The most important thing is that the team trains the hardest, is Akagi and Mitsui, under the leadership of the two, the strength of the Xiangbei substitutes has also improved by leaps and bounds, and the internal competition is also great, and everyone naturally trains hard when the competition comes up, so it becomes a virtuous circle, paving a good training environment for the later players.
Now Senior Akagi's protector under the basket of Xiangbei is completely treated as air by Kenjiro, in the face of talent, is Senior Akagi's efforts in vain?
"Well, almost." Coach Anzai is in good cultivation, his proud protégé Akagi was ravaged by the opponent like this, Coach Anzai is about to move, and Coach Anzai rarely walked to the technical table and called a timeout.
The players on both sides are happy to see that it is the coach of Anxi, and the players of Xiangbei are happy because they believe that the coach of Anxi will definitely point out a clear road to Xiangbei, and the Hainan team is happy that the coach of Anxi does not move to represent that Xiangbei still has the ability to counterattack, indicating that Xiangbei has now stood on the edge of the cliff.
The most important thing is that Kenjiro admits that Coach Anzai is scheming, but Coach Anzai is not a god, at least the current Xiangbei team can't find a player who can be one-on-one with Kenjiro.
"Well done, continue to put pressure on the inside line of Xiangbei, if the opponent shrinks the defense, Kenjiro will distribute the ball to the outside line, and if there is an opportunity on the outside line, you must make a decisive shot after receiving the ball." The score tied Gao Tou regained his composure and began to lay out tactics for the team.
The pause time was very fast, and the two sides played again, and found that Xiangbei had actually changed people, and replaced Miyagi, and Oda, who rarely played in important games, came up, Xiangbei attacked, and Mitsui controlled the ball and wanted to cooperate with Sakuragi to block and dismantle, but Gongyi and Rukawa Kaede were prepared and did not let Xiangbei succeed.
But even if there was no block, Mitsui still passed the ball to Sakuragi with a low hand, and Sakuragi began to use his power to beat Rukawa Kaede with his power in a position that was one step inside the three-point line, and squeezed in little by little to the inside.
Sakuragi calculated that the distance was almost over, bumped into Rukawa Kaede, and turned his back directly to shoot, but before Sakura's shot was completed, Rukawa Kaede's hand appeared in front of Sakuragi, completely sealing Sakuragi's sight.
This kind of defense is not very useful for experienced players like Kenjiro, Makki, and Mitsui, but it is very fatal to Sakuragi, who also relies on his eyes to observe the shooting distance, which directly causes Sakuragi's basketball to deviate very far, smashing on the rebound and not touching the basket, Kenjiro did not jump, and Akagi, who was stuck behind him, raised his hand to grab the rebound.
Kenjiro passed by Rukawa Kaede's side and patted Rukawa Kaede on the back. "Well done Rukawa Kaede, that's all."
praised Rukawa Kaede on his lips, but he thought in his heart that Rukawa Kaede could see that Sakuragi was very strong, but compared with several other people, did Sakuragi still retain some layman problems?
When Kenjiro passed half the court and entered the inside line of Xiangbei, Kenjiro reached out to Rukawa Kaede to ask for the ball, but Rukawa Kaede was about to pass to Kenjiro but stopped, and instead passed the ball to Maki, asking Maki to organize the attack.
Why did Rukawa Kaede not pass the ball, because Rukawa Kaede saw that as predicted by the high head, Sakuragi, who was originally defending Rukawa Kaede, shrank into the inside line and Kenjiro Akagi Baojia, and the two had no room to pass the ball one after the other.
When Maki dribbles to observe Xiangbei's defensive formation, Sakuragi is near the free throw line, Akagi is close to the inside line, if Maki has the intention of passing the ball to Kenjiro, Sakuragi will immediately go around the front defense, and Akagi will also stick to it.
The outside line relies on Mitsui, Kemei and Oda to defend, through the substitution of Coach Anzai, Xiangbei's height has risen sharply, the three players on the outside are all about 1.85 meters tall, and the two long people on the inside line are more than 1.9 meters.
Mu found that the defense near the top of the arc of Xiangbei's three-point line was the weakest, and observed Sakuragi's position, it seems that Coach Anzai completely used Sakuragi as a superman, Mu didn't talk nonsense and directly used actions to test Xiangbei's defense.
A fast low-handed dribble, using the change of rhythm to break through Mitsui's defense, Mitsui also because others on the outside of Hainan could not stop Mu's breakthrough with all their might.
Mu broke through and sure enough, Sakuragi immediately posted up, Mu quickly broke through to the basket of Xiangbei, Sakuragi followed behind Mu like a shadow, and at the same time, Akagi on the other side began to adjust his position on the passing route of Mu and Kenjiro.
Seeing Xiangbei's arrangement, Coach Taoka was taken aback, and felt incredible at Coach Anzai's approach, which allowed a recruit Sakuragi to take on such an important responsibility in defense.
You must know that Sakuragi's performance in the offense just now is not bad, but it is not outstanding either, but Sakuragi's defensive task is heavy and scary.
Now on the field, if you choose a player to attack the inside line among the four people on the outside, Mu is the best choice, use several other people to attract defense, break through as if you can rush to the basket one-on-one, Coach Anzai This is betting that Sakuragi will be able to defend Maki, if Kenjiro gets the ball, it will be Sakuragi and Akagi Kenjiro immediately, Coach Anzai is completely betting, betting on whether Sakuragi will have the same performance in this game as the second half of the game against the King of the Mountain.
Everyone held their breath and watched Mu and Sakuragi play under the basket this time, if Sakuragi can't hold on, it is likely that Xiangbei will collapse completely.
Mu has experience in fighting with Sakuragi, and knows that Sakuragi's physical fitness is very strong, so when he is about to get to the basket, Mu brakes suddenly, stabilizes his body and then makes a short-distance jumper, and the edge of Mu's sole rubs a trace of black line against the floor, which is so much force that the sole can't stand it.
Mu's emergency stop made many people secretly shout wonderful, with mental calculations or unintentional, Mu also believes that Sakuragi must be fundamentally his own rhythm, and Sakuragi is also like Mu's prediction, and he almost rushed out of the bottom line directly.
"Middle-aged people should die." Sakuragi turned around to defend and found that it was a little late, jumped up directly behind the rebound, Sakuragi's arm also hit the rebound, and he still resolutely reached out with his left hand to rebound and knock Mu's shot away.
