Chapter 170: Itchy Hands
At halftime, both sides returned to the court.
Coach Taoka really implemented the policy of "sticking to the tactics", and did not even send Hikoichi on the field in the second half, but still maintained the previous lineup: Uozumi, Fukuda, Sendo, Ikegami and Uekusa.
Hikochi sat on the sidelines with his neck bent and continued to eat popcorn, he thought he would be able to play.
Akizuki also maintained the starting lineup: center, No. 4 Jun Noguchi, 193cm tall; Point guard, No. 6 Namami, 185cm tall; Shooting guard, No. 7 Masao Serizawa, 185cm tall; Small forward, No. 8 No. Yamada, height 187cm; Power forward, No. 10 Hidaka Tsuyoshi, height 189cm.
Of course, the jump ball is won by Yuzhu steadily, and the grass is not in a hurry or slow to dribble through the half court, and then hand the ball to Xiandao for processing.
Xiandao held the ball in the low post to observe the situation on the court, Fukuda came up to catch the ball, suddenly ran back, Xiandao passed the ball directly to the ground sideways, and Fukuda hit a layup with Noguchi's soft defense.
The attack of the Lingnan team is still very smooth, mainly because Akizuki's defense is too average, and Hikoichi feels that if the ball is not scored, it is purely a matter of his finishing ability.
Switching offense and defense, Akizuki High School's point guard Namami dribbled over the half. His advance speed was fast, but Lingnan's retreat was also fast, which made him dispel the idea of attacking quickly and stealing one.
Minami Bozhi still didn't hold back his desire to perform, he chose to plant grass alone. This is also normal, the height of the grass is only 170cm, and the height advantage of Minami Bozhi is 15cm, so it is not too much to want to play a single.
Minami Tomo also began to show his skills outside the three-point line, and several tricks came again, and then he broke through from the right side to the inside, and hit a mid-range pull-up jump shot.
Hikoi couldn't help but pout, there were too many bells and whistles, and the height advantage was hardly used. However, this is also a habit of Akizuki High School players.
"Oh——!! It's amazing! "But don't say it, the audience still eats this. Hiko began to reflect: It seems that I also have to do some work, on the premise that I will not be scolded by Coach Taoka.
Next, Xiandao chose to play singles, and after continuous shaking, the opportunity came out, and he missed the step-back jumper. Hidaka Tsuyoshi did have two brushes, and at least his defense put pressure on Sendo, forcing Sendo to choose difficult offensive moves.
Qiuyue attacked, but this time Nan Bozhi was stunned outside the three-point line, because the person standing in front of him became an immortal?
Coach Taoka specially sent Sendo to defend Minami Chi? Of course not, Coach Taoka said before that he would make small adjustments, and that is.
The Lingnan team switched to a 3-2 joint defense, and Coach Taoka moved Sendo to the top arc position, with the two flanks being Uecao and Ikegami, and Uozi and Fukuda standing on both sides of the penalty area to guard the basket.
If someone were to study the data of Akizuki High School's past games, they would find that their team had very few assists in almost every game, far less than the average of other teams. Akizuki's players seem to be particularly fond of dribbling, and they have to take a few backwards to get the ball before they are willing to shoot, and most of the few assists they have are aerial relays.
And another point, their division of labor is too clear, Nos. 4, 6, and 7 are responsible for attacking, and No. 8 and 10 are responsible for defense, which is obviously a team, but it seems to be divided into two camps that do not interfere with each other. Originally, it should be a good thing that the division of labor is clear, but Qiuyue's offense almost completely does not take the hands of No. 8 and No. 10 on the inside, except for open catches and 100% vacant opportunities, and the Lingnan team will not easily give you a chance under the basket, so they play the ball around and turn in the hands of three people. Undoubtedly, their habit has relieved a lot of pressure on Lingnan's defense.
Coach Taoka didn't have a chance to study the data of Akizuki High School carefully, but after the first half of the game, he already knew the situation of the other party very well, so he made this adjustment.
The outside line, especially near the top arc, is Akizuki's main offensive area, and to contain this point, Sendo is more than capable of doing it with his height and agility.
Nan Bozhi was not only not stunned when he saw the fairy road, but a little energetic. As soon as he got his strength, he began to dribble, two hips in a row, and then a large change of direction in front of his body, but the fairy path didn't move.
These dribbles and rhythm are okay, but the speed is a little slower, and Xiandao does not intend to be in a stalemate, and takes the initiative to defend it.
This physical contact with Nan Bozhi lost his rhythm, and he pulled away in a little panic, Xiandao looked at the opportunity and shot the ball directly!
Steal, solo fast attack! Xiandao picked up the ball and turned around to take a look, but there was no one behind him to chase after him, and he also slowed down a little and hit an easy layup.
The defense is too lax, and he doesn't chase the defense, if it was the Lingnan team, Coach Tianoka would have scolded him a long time ago.
Nanbo dribbled over half the court, he was a little unconvinced, and wanted to play another one, but Jun Noguchi took the initiative to bring it up and signaled to play blocking and dismantling cooperation.
The boss is like this, of course, Nan Bozhi can only take the order and obediently go to Noguchi Jun to break through.
The right side of the pond was immediately on top, and Minami Tomochi no longer rushed in, and threw the ball to Jun Noguchi, who was already ready, with a hook of his right hand.
So the top arc became Jun Noguchi to the fairy, well, I have to change someone and do it again.
Hikichi couldn't play, so he could only sit on the sidelines and complain: The coach of Qiuyue High School is too lazy, this is simply three small forwards taking turns to attack.
Junya Noguchi started his attack with a crotch dribble, he switched the ball to his right hand, and then changed direction in front of his body to go to the left, but his speed was actually not fast, and Sendo followed him closely.
Another back turn, don't look at Noguchi Run's fat, but he is very flexible and experienced, and after turning around, he kills all the way to the basket with the immortal road that has not been completely thrown off!
There is also a Yuzhu assistant defense in front, so Noguchi Jun is not deep and protruding, a small throw throws and wipes the board to hit.
Jun Noguchi's ball, from the perspective of individual offense, is quite old-fashioned, and it seems that they have played all the way to this extent, and they are not completely mixed up.
The scores of the two sides alternately increased, but the overall shooting percentage was a little lower than in the first half, and I don't know if it was due to physical exertion.
"Guan Ping, off-road, you warm up and get ready to play." Coach Taoka turned around and said, "And you, Hikochi." ”
"Yes!" It's finally time to play, and Hiko's hands are itchy early in the morning.
Coach Taoka finally decided to make a substitution, and he found that Akizuki's several "fairy balls" in the second half of the first half were still useful, in addition to catching up with the score, it also allowed Akizuki's players to play with confidence. Now Qiuyue and Lingnan are playing well, Coach Taoka plans to change the formation to see if it can achieve results, and this game has not been rotated so far, so the players should be given a rest.
"The three of you go up and pass the ball more, the opponent's defense is relatively loose, and it is easy to have a chance when you pass the ball more, and you can make a decisive shot when you have an open opportunity. Defensively, they do a good job of perimeter defense, and they take more shots from mid-to-long range. Also, be positive and use your physical strengths to your advantage. While the three of them were warming up, Coach Ogaoka gave instructions on the side.
It is true that there should be more passes, in fact, Akizuki's defense cannot be said to be too bad, but too dependent on two people, Hidaka Tsuyoshi and Yamada Shobo. These two guys defend the basket well, but the defensive area of the two men is limited after all.
With 12 minutes and 37 seconds left in the second half, Jun Noguchi, who was defending a single in the low post, Jun Noguchi faked to provoke a shooting foul and went to the free throw line.
Coach Taoka waved his hand and made substitutions, Yuzumi, Ikegami and Uekusa, Guan Hei, Cross Country and Hikoko.
Coach Taoka's substitution made the audience talk about it again, what are you going to do when you are anxious? Gave up the game?!
When Hikoichi came on the field, he high-fived the three of them one by one, and when the last fish was lived, Hikoichi patted him on the back again.
Yuzumi lowered his head, his performance today was not very good, although Qiuyue's defense was already strong on the inside, but Yuzumi should still have some performance, because Qiuyue's interior height is really not enough, and Noguchi Jun is just a fake center.
Mainly because Hidaka Gangzhi, he is short, but flexible, and he plays very toughly, so he is tied up.
Jun Noguchi hit both free throws, and the score became 71 draws.
"Come on, everyone, let's defend a little tighter!" Jun Noguchi reminds his teammates during the return defense.
They're starting to focus on defense, and they really want to win.
Hikoichi quickly dribbled across the halfcourt, and made a block and dismantle with Guan Ping near the three-point line, the quality of this dismantling is much higher than that of Qiu Yue just now, and Hikoichi directly dribbled from the wing to the inside!
Hidaka Gangzhi came up to make up for the defense, if Hikoichi didn't die suddenly, he divided the ball Immortal Dao, the Immortal Dao was just a transition, and he passed back to Guan Ping, who had already been emptied of the top arc!
Jun Noguchi chased Hikoichi just now, and now he quickly turned around and pounced on Guan Ping, Guan Ping jumped up and passed, and Fukuda under the basket was out of the vacant position at this time, and he caught the ball and hit a layup!
After Guan Ping replaced Yuzhu on the court, the space under the basket was much larger, and there were more opportunities.
"Yo yo, that No. 14 still has some effect after he plays!" In the stands, the number 12 of Aihe Academy said, his tone was a little careless, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Hmph, the overall passing of the Lingnan team is good, I think he is just an addition to Lingnan." Zhuxing snorted and said, he seems to be still fighting for Ah Mu, how deep is the relationship between the two?
"Hehe, I think it's too, I think the strongest newcomer this year is still that Rukawa Kaede, but it's a pity, he's been eliminated!" No. 12 lowered his head and laughed, as if he had picked up money, "When we win the national championship, then the 'strongest newcomer' will be me!" ”
Hikoichi didn't know that someone mentioned him, and he found an opportunity to steal Minami Tomo's ball and launched a fast attack!
Minami Bozhi followed Hikochi all the way but couldn't catch up, so he could only watch Hikoichi hit a layup!
Hikoichi has long seen itchy hands off the court, and what the hell is it to stand outside the three-point line with the ball and be blind, isn't it just waiting for me to steal!
You didn't negotiate!
