Chapter 40: Kotaro Hayama finally appears

Aoki has played a lot of times today, and he was replaced early this time, and he didn't complain.

Imai's play, quickly curbed the momentum of Wu Yuan's chasing points, the two teamed up, and Tsuda was very uncomfortable, and the next few attacks, there were constantly hitting iron and deviating.

Tsuda was forced to distribute the ball to small forward Akita who was supposed to be marked by Imai.

But before it was all Tsuda playing alone, Akita hadn't made a move for a long time, and his hand felt so cold that it was okay, and this time it was almost empty, but he still couldn't throw it in.

Even if there is no Aoki in the inner line of Xiangbei, it still has a lot of advantages over Wuyuan.

Maki jumped up and reached over Matsunaga to stab the basketball he had almost held, and Yoshino took control of the defensive rebound and passed it to Endo.

Endo dribbled and attacked, changed direction, shook off No. 9 Soma, and saw Tsuda coming to make up for the defense, so he distributed the ball to Lantau who was vacated.

Lantau disregards that his shooting rate outside the three-point line is actually very low, and if he can't shoot, almost all of his players haven't kept up in their own half, and the offensive rebound is not guaranteed.

Lantau who played as a shooting guard scored his first three-pointer of the game!

48-38, Xiangbei led by 10 points and came to the end of the first half.

When he left the game, seeing that Maki and Lantau were a little tired, Suzuki motioned for Miyagawa, Mizuhashi, and Yanagisawa to warm up and warm their hands. Even though Endo didn't play that half of the game in the afternoon, Suzuki was ready to let him come down and rest for a while.

After switching to Miyagawa and Mizuhashi, Suzuki told them to slow down the pace in the second half and play success.

Suzuki specifically asked Yanagisawa to give more cover to the water bridge, which was the main attack point.

Yanagisawa didn't get the right to fire, but for him now, just being able to play was already very happy.

As soon as he finished talking about tactics, Suzuki heard a commotion, turned his head to look, and saw that under Wuyuan's basket, there was a yellow hair warming up, and the cheerleaders cheered happily "Hayama", without asking, this person is Hayama Kotaro.

So Suzuki said to Taiga, "Ohga, you can also warm up." ”

Dahe looked at Yanagisawa and said with a smile: "I'll dribble the ball first, let them play for a while." ”

Suzuki was a little worried, in addition to Hayama, Takeshi also had Tsuda, a quasi-trump card, which greatly surprised Suzuki's expectations.

Xiangbei was able to lead by 10 points in the first half because Xiangbei defeated Wuyuan without the presence of the ace as a whole, rather than really locking Tsuda, once Hayama played, and Xiangbei did not have an ace player who could compete with him, I was afraid that it would collapse instantly.

Taiga seemed to see Suzuki's worries, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, sir." As long as you are within 20 points, give me 10 minutes and I can overtake! ”

Suzuki raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Since you say so, Ogawa-kun, then I'll arrange this lineup first." ”

Before the start of the second half, Taiga called the five players who were about to play together and said, "I told Mr. Suzuki that if I fell behind by 20 points, let me play, and until then, he will not make adjustments." So, I want to ask, how many of you, when are you going to make me appear? ”

Gonghe said angrily: "I won't give you a chance to play!" ”

Miyagawa did what he said, he worked very hard at the beginning of the second half, jumped high and jumped the ball to get the ball, rushed into the half of Wuyuan, and then received a pass from Yanagisawa, leaned on Matsunaga, and jumped directly to dunk!

Matsunaga was defeated by Miyagawa in the contest of strength, and raised his hands in vain, as if he had surrendered.

Kotaro Hayama wore the No. 4 jersey and replaced No. 9 Soma, the former small forward Akita moved to the point guard position, and Tsuda played point guard.

When Hayama just passed halftime, he was targeted by Yanagisawa, who was newly replaced by Xiangbei, and he never left an inch.

Yanagisawa knows that his positioning is to support and defend, and he usually works hard in these two aspects, and his level is much higher than when he first joined the team, which is why Suzuki frequently lets him play to feel the game.

And the same first-year who has just joined the team, only Kuroda rarely plays. It's not because of the level gap, but Kuroda's awareness that he hasn't sacrificed himself to play and fight for the team's victory.

Hayama is a very sunny big boy, and he has always had a smile on his face that is as bright as the short hair color on his head, and this smile can also infect others, and the spirits of the other players in Wuyuan are obviously much more uplifted.

After receiving a pass from point guard Tsuda, Hayama turned around and looked at Yanagisawa, who was defending short at the top of the three-point line, and took a lightning step with his left foot, and with a big stride, he passed half a position!

So fast!

There are also a few fast people in the Xiangbei team, Yoshino, Endo, and Aoki are all very good in speed and explosiveness, and the captain Dahe, although the absolute speed is slightly inferior to the above three, but his first step is definitely at the level of electric light!

However, now Yanagisawa only feels that whether it is absolute speed or explosiveness, Kotaro Hayama seems to be above these teammates!

However, even if it was over, Yanagisawa knew what else he should do.

Basketball is a sport that is good for offense, and it's normal to be passed one-on-one, and even the top players are sometimes beaten by speed, or technique, or coordination, and some other way.

If you don't do anything after being passed, it is a real failure, on the contrary, as long as you make a reasonable response after being passed, even if you are passed, the entire defensive formation is not broken, at most it is passive.

Is it to follow the defense and interfere with the opponent's long-range scoring, or to switch the defense and restrict the opponent's passing route?

Yanagisawa made a decision in an instant, followed up, and interfered with Hayama's singles!

In the morning, when facing another excellent ace small forward, Kentaro Arima, Yanagisawa's choice in this situation was mostly to change defenses.

Arima's speed is not as terrifying as Hayama's, and he relies more on skill, fast and slow rhythms, and realistic feints to get past people, so Arima is rarely able to pass the opposing players one after another. Conversely, when a horse passes, the defender can be left in a state of stiffness for a long time, so that he can get enough time to shoot, so the defense of the horse is dependent on the teammate's defense. However, Arima's skills are very comprehensive, he can easily convert projections into passes, and if the defender of his teammate is cleared, his pass will easily go to the open space, which requires the person who has passed to change the defense as soon as possible.

And Wuyuan's ace Ye Shan, relying on absolute speed, although the person who was passed was half a beat slower in action, he still had the opportunity to keep up and limit his next move, not only to change the defense!

In addition, Yanagisawa also judged that Hayama appeared with the task of scoring, and the pride of the ace was only afraid that he would let him complete this attack alone, even if he barely shot, he would not take the initiative to pass!

I have to say that after entering high school basketball, Yanagisawa has made very limited progress at the technical level, but his basketball quotient has risen a lot. This is also the reason why Suzuki, the two who are also at the bottom of the first grade, choose him more than Kuroda as a key training object!
