Chapter 92: Three-Point and Rebound (5)
Midorima almost missed the last shot, but he didn't believe in evil, and still shot three points two steps away from the three-point line.
This time, Shakura was still struggling to block it, and his raised hand was almost slapped on Midorima's face.
Midorima was unmoved, didn't blink his eyelids, and waited until the sand warehouse was over and falling, and then calmly threw the ball out of his hand.
However, Midorima's confident shot was shot down the moment it flew out.
The only one who can do this is real wood. Even if others judge that Midorima is going to force a three-point shot, they can't cover his shot with a double high shot point and arc.
Maki's cap didn't cover it, and he rushed in and jumped high with all his might, but only stabbed his fingertips in the lower part of the basketball, and he almost let the shot go.
Yanagisawa and Miyaji both chased after the basketball landing point, Yanagisawa turned quickly and started first, but Miyachi took advantage of his height and arm length to shoot the ball that Yanagisawa had not yet held steadily.
This time the ball was headed towards Takao.
Takao was concerned about Mizuno on his side, and went up to meet the ball, palmed up, and pushed the ball directly to the inside with the palm root.
Daping received the ball, he leaned on Akagi, and without leaning, he passed the ball to the side.
Kimura cut over and made a layup.
Akagi was immobilized by Otsubo and could not do anything about Kimura's layup, but he returned to the baseline very quickly.
Although Daping consciously stretched out his hand to stop it, trying to stop Xiangbei's pursuit and counterattack, he didn't stop it, and the long basketball pass crossed most of the court diagonally and fell into the hands of Yanagisawa who was running.
Yanagisawa changed direction twice in a row, flashed through Miyaji, found a shot, and made a jumper.
Gong Di has a height advantage in the end, turned around and tried to seal it, and his fingertips rubbed the basketball. He shouted, "Grab the rebound!" ”
But when Miyachi looked back, he only saw that Maki had succeeded in pressing Midorima's basket.
Not only did Midorima not grab the rebound, but he also paid for a foul because of the hitter. What's even worse is that he couldn't bear the force of colliding with the real wood, he didn't stand firm after landing, fell a fart, and looked up at the real wood hanging on the basket, looking majestic.
In the next free throw, Maki scored directly without playing tricks, and secured a 1-point lead for Xiangbei.
Perhaps considering that Midorima's physical strength has decreased for three consecutive points, in the next round, Takao did not pass the ball to Midorima, but to Miyaji.
Miyachi held the ball, and Xiangbei's defensive formation immediately contracted, Yanagisawa caught up, and Maki took it back to watch Kimura to avoid Akagi falling into a lonely battle.
The last time Miyajie faced Yanagisawa and failed to complete the dribble, this time he changed his strategy and advanced with an inside back.
He had the capital and conditions to fight like this, and Yanagisawa really couldn't prevent him, so he was pushed near the restricted area by the palace.
Miyaji is also obedient, and has sensed that Maki has the intention of coming over to help defend, so he directly turned over and jumped. His set is the same as Midorima, they all use their height advantage to play misalignment, but Miyaji is not Midorima in the end, and the feel is much worse, even if it is relative to the position of the free throw, he actually didn't throw it.
Akagi defeated Otsubo in a scramble for rebounds and tossed the ball over Maki's head.
Maki air relay passes the ball to Mizuno.
Xiangbei's small forward and scoring guard went hand in hand again and cut into Xiude's half-court.
Midorima stayed on the periphery, feeling that the Xiangbei team was a big threat, so he followed Yanagizawa.
However, Mizuno passed the ball to the direction where Shakura was running.
Takao and Mizuno can be described as each other's explosions on the offensive end, and neither of them can prevent the opponent's pass. Takao judged Mizuno's ball position several times, but he just couldn't break it.
Mizuno's passing skills are quite high, and he can often make slight adjustments at the last moment when the ball is out of his hands to change the arc of the ball. And it was this temporary additional change that made Takao repeatedly pounce.
Shakura ran to the position where he was best at shooting, but saw Midorima's tall body cover up, holding him out with one hand to prevent him from projecting, and the other hand spreading horizontally to prevent him from passing to Yanagisawa behind him.
Shakura is a small forward, and although his skills are good, he doesn't have Mizuno's ability. He thought that he was not sure whether it was shooting or passing, and when he hesitated, he saw a flash of red appear on the edge of his field of vision, so he immediately passed the ball.
It was Mizuno who received the layup, and he went around Takao, came to the edge of the free throw arc, received a pass from Shakura, and passed it to Yanagisawa without wasting any time.
Yanagisawa was again in a completely empty position, adjusting one or two after receiving the ball, making a three-point shot, and then the next one.
Before you know it, Yanagisawa has reached double digits in scoring today, and none of his three open three-pointers missed, and his shooting percentage is higher than Midorima, who has already missed once.
Midorima has continuously become the background board for Xiangbei's scoring, and he obviously has some emotions, and he asked for the ball from Takao just after halftime, wanting to show his three-point skills.
Takao saw that Midorima was entangled in the sand barn, and his position was actually not good, so he hesitated a little.
However, this hesitation gave the Xiangbei team a chance to break the ball.
Takao dodged Mizuno's interception, and also noticed Yanagisawa stealing the ball behind him, but Yanagisawa came too fast, and he had just completed his first move, and it was too late to make any more changes.
Yanagisawa breaks the ball from Takao's hand and sprints it straight for Hidetoku's basket.
The point guard is the last person to be dragged on offense, and Takao is broken, and no one can defend against Yanagisawa at all.
When Yanagisawa made a layup to add two more points to himself, he chased the nearest Midorima, and he had just run into the restricted area.
29-23。
After being cut off once, Takao was more careful with the ball, and before halftime, he passed the ball to Midorima's hands.
In this half, although Midorima was still a little sure of scoring directly, but the current situation did not allow him to take such a risk, so he changed hands and dribbled to avoid Shakura and passed the ball to Miyachi in front.
Miyachi advanced with the ball, and this time he was blocked outside the restricted area by Yanagisawa. Yanagisawa crossed his hands on his chest against Miyaji's shoulders, making it difficult for him to advance.
Seeing this, Miyachi had no choice but to pass the ball to Otsubo.
Otsubo received the ball and turned to face Akagi, feeling that the space was too small to make a move, so he beckoned Kimura to come over and hand the ball into his hands.
Kimura and Maki carried it, and both of them had an unsteady center of gravity and bounced off the sides.
Kimura has more strength, and he is actively looking for physical confrontation, standing firm first, and then throwing low hands under the basket.
When Maki came up, the ball was already flying high, and he had to turn around and jam Kimura, waiting for the result of this ball.
Kimura was unlucky, the basketball bounced on the frame several times after it fell, but it still didn't go in, and it was taken by Maki, who had been prepared for a long time.
Maki passed the ball back and forth with Yanagisawa and Mizuno, crossed Miyachi and Takao, and rushed into Hidetoku's half, leaving only Midorima in front of him.
Midorima slid and stopped in front of the real wood.
Maki tentatively dribbled behind his back, pushed forward another two meters, and then suddenly jumped sideways and threw a shot.
Midorima flew to cover it, but it didn't cover it.
Maki's mid-range shot was interfered with by Midorima and didn't go in, but it didn't matter, Shakura appeared behind Midorima, intercepted the rebound, and jumped up to make up for the basket.
31-23。
Xiangbei extended its lead.
