Chapter 90: Xiangbei vs. Xiangyang (8)
Few people saw the small interaction between Coach Anzai and Atsushi Shihara on the sidelines, and even those who saw it would not understand the twists and turns.
In these games, Coach Anzai rarely adjusted his tactics halfway. On the one hand, this is due to the fact that Xiangyang's strength is really strong, as long as it fights step by step according to the established plan, it can win no matter what; On the other hand, it is also because the spirit of Mr. Anzai has not been very good recently, and the captain Osamu Igarashi has taken over some of the coach's duties.
Not long ago, when the finals of the county competition were about to begin, the Xiangyang college basketball team that was preparing for the game received a suicide letter from the United States. This letter was written by Coach Anzai when he was a university coach, as a proud disciple, Ryuji Tanizawa, a year after he went to the United States.
At the time of receiving this letter, Tanizawa had been dead for more than a year, and because Coach Anzawa had retired from college basketball at the time, the organizer of Tanizawa's funeral, his mother, had not been able to contact Anzai.
Therefore, Anzai did not receive this hard-won letter from his old friend Kitano until a week ago.
The news of Tanizawa's death, as well as the contents of the letter, was a great blow to Coach Anzai, and he began to reflect on his usual Spartan training methods and made some changes.
Having said that, in the entire Shoyo team, Shogo Ashizaki was the first player to noticeably notice his change.
If it were in the past, some of Ashisaki's recent unbridled behaviors would have to be punished by suspension, and his willful and self-contained way of playing on the field would have been immediately stopped by Coach Anzai, but now Coach Anzai has let Ashaki's self-full performance go.
In addition to Ashizaki, the other two main players of the team, Igarashi and Shihara, are also more or less aware of some changes in Coach Anzai.
Just now, Coach Anxi saw that Honglin was targeted by Xiangbei, and frequently committed fouls and mistakes, so he softened his heart and wanted to protect Honglin and replace him.
However, Ziyuan did not approve of Coach Anzai's adjustment, and he believed that it was time for Honglin to come under some pressure. After Ziyuan's own game this summer, he will retire, and Honglin will be the main force at that time, and at that time, if he still performs like he did on the court today, he will not be able to support Xiangyang's inside line at all! In this way, it is better to put Honglin on the field now and hone more, even if it is five crimes, it will not hesitate!
Teacher Anzai thought about it seriously and decided to maintain the status quo, after all, Xiangyang is still ahead by more than ten points, and even if Honglin is full of fouls, there is still a genuine center Atsushi Shihara, there is nothing to worry about at all.
In the audience, Sato commented: "Xiangbei is on the rise, and that Imai feels hot." However, is it a little unwise for them to target Shoichiro Honglin so much? If the red forest goes down, it will be the 'elephant' Ziyuan who comes up, then they will have no chance of winning at all. ”
Arima is the one who has been in contact with the people in Xiangbei for the longest time in this group of people, and he is also the one who knows them best, and he said: "No. It's not that they don't know that Ziyuan will face defeat when they play, but they are ready to lose this one. Based on my understanding of Dahe, they must want to force Xiangyang's main force out, even if they lose, they will lose in the hands of Xiangyang's main force, not be defeated by a group of substitutes! ”
When Arima said this, everyone immediately remembered Xiangyang's opponent in the quarterfinals, the Sunrise West College Basketball Team.
To be able to reach the quarterfinals, Sunrise Nishi's strength is already outstanding in Kanagawa, and none of the four teams here, Oda Kiri, Sunshita, Buri and Minowa, can beat their chests and claim that they will definitely be able to beat Sunrise Nishi.
However, it is such a strong team, under Xiangyang, the whole game did not even force out the three main forces of the opponent, and it was defeated by a big score.
In other words, the four teams here, no matter who bumped into that team of Xiangyang substitutes, the result was not much better.
Nakamura sighed, and suddenly said: "Thinking about it this way, the current Xiangbei is really a little scary!" Obviously, there are no star players except for Dahe, but I can force Xiangyang, who has only gone down to one Ziyuan, like this, I'm really convinced! ”
Utsumi looked at the game on the field and sighed the same: "It's a pity, this Xiangbei." The better they perform now, the closer they are to losing. If they continue to fight like this, not only will they lose this time, but they will also be in danger in the next game against Lingnan! ”
As he spoke, the two teams played back and forth a few more times.
Igarashi assists Sora Asashaki for a shot.
Taiga changed hands and returned the jump shot after Ashigasaki.
Ashizaki couldn't make a shot, went inside to grab the rebound, returned a backhand to Kondo, and Kondo hit a jumper.
Yoshino helped Ogawa block and stop Ashigasaki, Oga dribbled the ball into the inside line, and Okindo won the dunk.
Igarashi launched a long pass counterattack, which was destroyed by Endo, and the ball fell into the hands of Okindo, and Shoyang turned to the position to attack. Igarashi saw that Ashigasaki was well guarded by Taiga, and passed the ball to Kokondo, who threw it in the middle of the shot, but was interfered with by Imai, and the ball hit the basket and bounced out.
There is chaos under the basket in Xiangbei!
A figure in a red jersey suddenly fell to the ground, and the referee immediately stopped the game.
"Green Team No. 14, push person foul!" The referee shouted.
In less than half time, Honglin was whistled for 4 fouls in a row, and he was a little out of control, yelling at the referee: "Which eye did you see me fouling?" ”
Seeing that the situation was not good, Igarashi Shu hurriedly rushed forward to stop Honglin and shouted, "Raise your hand and admit your mistake!" ”
But Honglin's eyes were already red at this time, and he couldn't listen to anything in his ears, he pointed his finger at the referee and shouted: "I didn't foul!" ”
The referee originally saw that for Igarashi's sake, he was already ready to settle the matter, but he never thought that Honglin would be so unsightly, so he immediately gave Honglin a T, and shouted at the same time: "Green Team No. 14, 5 fouls, full of offenses!" RED throws two free throws! ”
Hearing this result, Honglin became even more furious, and as soon as he pushed Igarashi away, he wanted to rush to the referee.
At this moment, an equally tall figure appeared in front of him, this person pinched Honglin's head with one palm, pressed him to a stagger, and then scolded: "Red deer! Don't be ashamed! ”
Honglin calmed down a little, turned his attention to someone other than the referee, and recognized that it was Shihara Atsushi standing in front of him, he shuddered, realized that he had made a big mess, lowered his head, and walked silently to the field.
Ziyuan pulled him and made him face the referee again, shouting, "Apologize first." ”
After Honglin bowed and apologized, Ziyuan let him go, and then glared at Dahe and said, "That's all for today!" ”
Dahe looked at Ziyuan with great intent and said with a smile: "That's not necessarily! ”
After personally sending the two free throws to the basket, the score came to 60-69, and Xiangbei narrowed the score gap to less than 10 points, and also held the right to kick off!
