After two rounds of fighting, both sides understood the weight of the other party and did not dare to be careless.

College basketball is like this, except for a very small number of traditional strong teams, the strength of a strong team at a lower level is not very stable, sometimes the team that still hopes to enter the national finals the year before, and the next year because of the graduation of the third-year main force, it has become the belly of the fish in the mouth of the new giant.

That's why teams are looking around for warm-up opponents before the county tournament starts.

Through the game, find the omissions and tactical weaknesses in the lineup, and then make up for them in a targeted manner. Like in the original book, after the battle between Lingnan and Xiangbei, Coach Taoka immediately realized the team's shortcomings in attack power and rebounding, and put down his son to recall Fukuda Jizhao, which is an example.

For Xiangbei, there is almost no hope for the addition of personnel, but through the deployment of personnel, the change of tactics to make up for the lack of strength is the main purpose of the warm-up game.

In addition to Dahe, there are no star-level players in Xiangbei, and the only way to realize Dahe's wish is to rely on the efforts of everyone in the team, which is the real reason why Suzuki wants Dahe to arrange so many warm-up games.

In the next game, it fell into a stalemate between you and me, and the scores of the two teams rose alternately, and neither team could lead by more than 4 points.

With five minutes left in the first half, the score came to 30-29, with the home team Xiangbei leading by one point, and the ball was on the west side of Sunrise.

Coach Tanaka of Sunrise West took the lead in shouting a timeout, obviously a little dissatisfied, and the sound of reprimand spread to Xiangbei.

Suzuki asked Momoi, "How is Taiga-san's data?" ”

Momoi looked at the board and replied, "8 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, 1 turnover." He shot 2-of-2 from the field and didn't have a 3-pointer. ”

Dahe's data is obviously at the core level, although he doesn't score much, but more than two-thirds of Xiangbei's score is related to him. This data also shows from another aspect that other people in Xiangbei still have no ability to attack independently.

The main scoring point of Xiangbei is the pair of real double quarterbacks of Imai and Mizuhashi. The two combined to contribute five three-pointers, and the opponent's two outside shots were unguardable. Arakawa Shigeta has a height advantage, but he can't see Imai but can't look at Mizuhashi, and Taiga's pass can always be passed at the right time to the area defended by the short Takahashi. Imai's hand style was very smooth today, shooting 3 of 5 three-pointers and 3 of 4 two-pointers, and he scored 15 points alone!

Compared with the outer line of Xiangbei, the inner line of Miyagawa and Yoshino are very quiet today. On the one hand, they rarely have good scoring opportunities in the face of the obviously taller Sunrise West Inner Line, and on the other hand, the two of them frequently pull to the outside line to block and dismantle Imai and Mizuhashi, and there are not many opportunities to shoot.

The shooting accuracy of Xiangbei's side is a little perverted, and the reason why Sunrise West can bite the score tightly is because of their strong inside line.

Okamoto, the 196cm-tall big center, grabbed almost all of the rebounds, and Arakawa forced four shots from the outside, but three of them were added to the basket by Okamoto's second attack.

Okamoto is also a third-year player, and Miyagawa has no advantage in experience compared to him, and he is at a physical disadvantage, and he is helpless if he can't grab rebounds.

Sunrise West power forward No. 9 Ishii is about the same height and speed as Yoshino, who hasn't had that chance since his opening fast break. Taiga's mistake was that when Ishii was following Yoshino, he made the first move and intercepted the high lob ball that Taiga passed to Yoshino.

Suzuki said to everyone: "We played well, although the opponent has a height advantage and the newcomers are also very good, but we are still ahead." This is the credit of Oga-san. However, in the future, the other party will definitely focus on covering Dahe, so we also have to change our tactics. ”

Suzuki pointed at Imai and said, "Imai-san, I need you to come down and rest for a while now." ”

Imai nodded, no objection. In the previous game, in order to find a suitable position to shoot, he ran wildly with Arakawa on the outside, and his physical strength was his shortcoming, so even if Suzuki didn't replace him, he would hold on until the end of the first half at most.

Suzuki said to Endo: "Endo-san, please come on the field to help Captain Taihe, if there is a suitable opportunity, you can shoot yourself." ”

Endo nodded silently.

Suzuki said to Miyagawa and Yoshino again: "Miyagawa-san, the next rebounding, try to let Yoshino-san and Oga-san rush to rush, you just need to jam the position and not let the opposite center jump." Yoshino-san, you can stay a little further away from the basket, I think that although the opponent's power forward is physically on par with you, he still lacks experience, and in rebounding, one-on-one, I believe he is not your opponent. And when attacking, do more feints, maybe it will have some effect. ”

While the players were training hard, Suzuki was not idle. After reading the two basketball training materials he bought, he already had a systematic understanding of how to coach a basketball team.

College basketball is really not very particular about tactics, relying on star players to play alone accounts for the vast majority, in fact, if it is really to introduce a triangle offense, Princeton system or something, no player can be suitable.

Training and tactics have made up for the shortcomings, and what remains is on-the-spot scheduling.

This thing, to put it bluntly, is to see what advantages the side has, how to play it, what weaknesses the other party has, and how to catch and beat it.

In this regard, Suzuki has an advantage over all college basketball coaches in Japan.

In my previous life, I watched the NBA and CBA for so many years, I never ate pork, and I have always seen pigs run, not to mention that the commentators always like to pick up every intention of the coaches and analyze them very thoroughly.

You don't have to do a lot, you just need to point out the strengths and weaknesses of both sides for the players on the field, and sometimes they make adjustments on their own.

All Suzuki had to do was shout a timeout, change personnel when needed, cheer when the ball was good, and appease him when he was frustrated.

Having a coach on the sidelines, even if he doesn't say a word or give any instructions, can make a big difference.

Just think about Anzai and Fujima in the original book.

Unconsciously, Suzuki already has the basic qualities of being the coach of the college basketball team, which is also the reason why Oga and others gradually began to obey Suzuki's tactical arrangements. In fact, after the last warm-up game with the Lingnan team, Suzuki has already gained the trust of the Xiangbei basketball team, not the initial recognition, otherwise, how could he ask him for basketball skills training?
