When Suzuki arranged the five starters against Hainan, there was nothing surprising about it, and they all used the main lineup that had already been determined.

Center Akagi, power forward Mori, small forward Rukawa, point guard Sakuragi, and scoring guard is Twilight Ki.

The situation in Hainan is the same as in Xiangbei, and they even have the same starting lineup as in the previous game.

Obviously, both Suzuki and Gao Tou think that a sudden change of formation and surprise tactics will not help to win, and the victory or defeat of the game still depends on the internal strength of the two sides.

Facing Akagi, who was half a head taller than him, Takasago decisively put to rest his mind about the jump ball, only made a symbolic jump, and then helped Mu to grab Sakuragi.

Sakuragi received the ball, and as soon as he looked up, Makishii was already eyeing him. After experiencing the mistake of being forced to steal the ball by Kasamatsu and others in the last game, Sakuragi did not dare to hold it up anymore when facing a strong opponent, relying on his body and technique to protect the ball, but found the position where his teammates were running and quickly passed the ball out.

Takasago pounced.

The ball passed a little high, over Rukawa's head, and landed on Ki Twilight's running path.

This made Kiyota, who was blocking in front of Rukawa, a little disappointed, and Mu Dui's sudden forward insertion also made God unable to retreat in time.

Mu Du received the ball regardless of rushing forward, and had the momentum to run directly to the baseline and then shoot three points in the bottom corner.

As the deputy of Xiangbei, Mu Du is a little famous in Kanagawa, and he is good at the technical characteristics of long-distance throwing, and Hainan, which is also in the top four, will naturally not know.

Kiyota was short and turned relatively quickly, rushing straight towards Kino, while the slower god was in the place of Kiyota and Fang Rukawa.

After three years of training under Suzuki, who emphasized shooting percentage, Mu Twilight shot 80% of his open three-point shots. Mu Du could have stopped and shot three points the moment he reached the three-point line, but at this time, he was at the forefront of the Xiangbei team, and if he couldn't shoot, there was no one to grab the rebound, so he stopped and shot three points when he was still two meters away from the baseline.

In Mu Dui's expectation, this ball should be nine out of ten.

Unexpectedly, when Mu Du jumped, Qingtian, who was still more than two meters away from him and almost three meters away, actually jumped directly after taking the last step.

As soon as Mu Dui's ball was shot, Kiyota's hand arrived, and with a "snap", the basketball was flown out of the bottom line by Kiyota's fan.

Boom! Kiyota landed heavily, looked at the out-of-bounds basketball, and shook his hand. Hitting the ball out of bounds, this is something that can't be helped, after all, his height is here, and it is already extremely difficult to reach the ball and destroy Mu Dui's shot.

Mu and Takasago ran back, patted Kiyota's head one by one, and encouraged: "Good defense!" ”

On the Xiangbei side, Mu Du calmly passed the ball to Sakuragi and continued to organize the attack.

Half of the gentry turned sideways, let go of the half-step defense Sakuragi, and made it clear that it was the main defense and the second defense.

Sakuragi raised his eyebrows, and his hands alternately dribbled the ball and pressed forward in small steps, and his skillful high-frequency dribbling made the audience on the sidelines let out bursts of exclamations.

Mu did not make a rash move, kept a proper distance, retreated step by step, and gradually reached the three-point line.

In the opening stage, Sakuragi was not in a hurry to score points, and under the premise of time permitting, he first tested the bottom line of Maki's defense, continued to take another half a step, and stepped into the three-point line.

Maki continued to retreat, but at this time he only retreated half a step, which meant that Sakuragi was only half a step away from him.

Sakuragi found that Mu always refused to shoot to try to break the ball, and the defensive posture was maintained very well, knowing that the captain of Hainan would not easily let him break into the interior today, so he immediately stepped back, came to the outside of the three-point line, and shot dry.

Like a spring, the gentry came to Sakuragi in the blink of an eye, raised his hands and jumped, blocking with all his might.

Is it Hainan that continues to defend successfully?

Or did Xiangbei break the deadlock and win the first goal?

The entire audience, as well as the remaining eight players on the field, focused their eyes on the two.

This is a war between aces.

No one else can be allowed to interfere.

Under the watchful eye, the basketball flew past Mu Shenyi's fingertips and flew towards the basket.

"Good! Sakuragi wins! There was jubilation on the Xiangbei bench.

Just when the fans of Xiangbei were starting to get excited, Sakuragi and Maki shouted to their teammates at the same time: "Rebound!" ”

The tournament came to the round-robin finals, and the stadium was almost full. Encouraged by the successive championships of Xiangyang over the years and the good results of the rest of the teams, the basketball environment in Kanagawa Prefecture has been cultivated, and the people are more enthusiastic than ever to watch basketball games in their leisure time.

Those who came late had to stand at the entrance and exit to watch the game.

At the entrance and exit on the north side of the arena, two tall figures are standing. If anyone carefully watched the previous knockout rounds this year, they will be able to recognize that they are the two main players of the Green Wind team, Mike Okita and Reio Minobuchi, who have made a name for themselves this year and reached the quarterfinals in the prefecture in their first place.

Mike Okita looked at the red-haired Sakuragi and said admiringly, "It turns out that he is Sakuragi Hanamichi!" Sure enough, it lived up to its reputation, and it was able to tie with the gentry. Terrific! If he plays in the warm-up match against us, it doesn't matter who will win or lose! I don't know what kind of strength the remaining one is called Rukawa Kaede? ”

Minoru Lingyang frowned slightly, watched Akagi jump high, won the rebound and made up directly, and said: "Although the ace is a tie on both sides, at least on the inside, Xiangbei has an overwhelming advantage. It depends on the strength of the two teams on the outside. If Rukawa Kaede also has the strength to be close to Sakuragi Kazumaki, then Hainan may be in danger. ”

Hainan's counterattack came quickly, but Xiangbei was by no means an ordinary person, one-on-one strict defense, so that the basketball passed to Qingtian, who cut into the basket, and there was no chance to shoot.

Faced with one of his two shadows in the junior high school stage, Kiyota opted for a safe return pass. Although he himself often shouts the slogan of defeating Rukawa and bringing down Sakuragi, he knows in his heart that the gap with the other party is still not small.

Ichiro Shinsoe received the ball, leaned on Mu Twilight and half-turned, and projected the ball in the confrontation.

Ki Twilight gets a point from Suzuki and knows that God's outside shooting is accurate, so he sticks close to him when defending, but he never wants to be flashed by God in this way. Only then did he remember that in the previous year, the tall and thin boy in front of him played as a center substitute!

Xiangbei has the strong point of Akagi on the inside line, and it is very suitable for positional warfare according to common sense, but Sakuragi still organized a fast attack.

After making a round of passes with Mu Du and Rukawa, so that Hainan's outside defense could not figure out Xiangbei's offensive intentions, Sakuragi got enough space and launched a long pass.

The basketball was sent diagonally along an almost straight line behind Akagi and Takasago.

This ball is for Maori.

Maori, who was born in tennis, is taller than Newugu, and his stride speed is much faster than him, and he easily receives the ball behind the whole Hainan team.

Maori dribbled the ball to the basket, and Kiyota was the first to return to the defense, stopping in front of him like a gust of wind.

However, Maori didn't give Kiyota a chance to shine again, and his shot was much higher than that of Mu Dui, and he jumped directly outside the restricted area.

Qingtian didn't give up, and still jumped up to block, but it was a little far away.

4-2。
