Sensing that Endo's physical strength was declining and not enough to defend Lingnan, the new scoring guard, Suzuki immediately made adjustments and finally replaced Kuroda, a scoring guard from Xiangbei.

Kuroda's training attitude has changed a lot during this time, so Suzuki dispelled the idea of directly supporting Takeyo and gave him a lot of opportunities to play.

Kuroda cherishes his playing time, and as soon as he came up, he followed Matsumoto every step of the way, which made Matsumoto very uncomfortable. Although he only played the main force last winter, and Xiangbei only played one game in the Winter Cup before returning home, Kuroda has more game experience than Matsumoto, even the already passive defense actually leaks, temporarily dividing Lingnan's new force from the field.

As a result, Tsukahara became more and more difficult.

He was originally just a point guard of average level, whether it was physical condition, technique or awareness, he was far inferior to his predecessors Imayoshi and Kuroko, and he was able to play the main force in Lingnan entirely because he was taller among the short, and the remaining point guards were worse than him.

In the previous game, because of the support of Kadomatsu, who played the main team in the first grade, Tsukahara played quite well, although he didn't score, but he finally had a few assists, and there were one or two wonderful passes.

However, after Kakumatsu was gone, the new Matsumoto could not give him sufficient support, and Tsukahara felt a little difficult to face Mizuno alone.

After the throw-in came in, Tsukahara tried to pass the ball inside twice, but because the pass was too stable and there was no suddenness, Yuzumi and Wakamatsu, who received the ball, were so guarded that they couldn't attack directly, so they had to return the ball to Tsukahara and let him continue to look for opportunities.

Tsukahara glanced at Matsumoto, who was entangled with Kuroda, and couldn't do it, so he had to beckon Hoshina to get the ball.

Baoke was actually very tired at this time, and he was successively guarded by Yanagisawa and Shakura, two kraft candies, and his situation was not much better than Kakumatsu.

It's just that first, he didn't start at the beginning, and the game time was shorter than Kakumatsu, and secondly, his ability was stronger than Kakumatsu, and he took the initiative to attack, and the consumption was a little smaller.

After replacing Tsukahara with the ball, Hoshina combined with Wakamatsu and finally found an opportunity to shoot before the offensive time ran out, shooting a jump shot in the low post.

When shooting, Baoke added a little back, and it was this extra distance that made the real wood who came over to make up the defense unable to prevent it.

Lingnan narrowed the score to a three-pointer distance, and his morale was greatly boosted.

Suzuki shouted at Maki on the sidelines, and then pointed at Uoju, Maki understood, took the initiative to approach Mizuno, and took advantage of the wrong opportunity to let him find a way to get the ball to the inside line, looking for a chance to make a foul on Uzumi.

Mizuno made an OK gesture, and as soon as Maki's body moved away, a straight pass was immediately sent forward to Akagi.

The pass was very sudden, flying directly between the two Lingnan strikers, and neither Wakamatsu nor Hokora could react.

The situation immediately turned into one-on-one between Akagi and Uozumi.

In the previous match, Akagi felt that Suzuki was right, Uozi had the advantage of height and arm length, but movement was a problem. He had already taken advantage of this to score a goal on Yuzumi's side, and this time he repeated his old trick, turning to the left and preparing to pick up the basket, and as soon as he saw that Yuzhu was following, he immediately turned around like a windmill and shot from the right side.

The first time Yuzhu could keep up, but this second time he had no choice, so he had to watch Akagi score another 2 points.

Yuzhu, who was penetrated on the defensive end, was not convinced, said "you wait", sent the ball out on the baseline, and then advanced all the way to the basket in Xiangbei like a tank.

Just because he can't take Akagi on the defensive end doesn't mean he can't beat Akagi on the offensive end. If he was in a good position under the basket and his teammate's ball was delivered just right, Akagi couldn't stop him from turning around and dunking. This has already been seen in previous games.

However, when the fish stayed under the basket and got the position, the ball once again lingered on the periphery and could not pass in.

Suzuki's tactical arrangement today is very in place, and he has been pinching the point guard Tsukahara, so that Lingnan's cooperation can't play, and he can only rely on the individual abilities of several star players to play alone.

This time, relying on the tacit understanding between Wakamatsu and Baoke, two third-year players, Lingnan dragged on for more than 20 seconds before it was difficult to make an attack.

Wakamatsu retreated to draw the ball out of the real wood, did not catch the ball and blocked it directly, blocking the ball in the way of Baoke's cutting route, so that Baoke could dunk it violently.

Seeing that the second half was more than halfway through, but the difference between the two teams had been changing back and forth between 3 points and 5 points, and there was no hope of narrowing at all, Coach Taoka was anxious off the field like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth, looking at the field, shaking his head, looking at the scoreboard, gritting his teeth, and finally looking at the bench again, only a sigh remained.

Lingnan can almost be said to have exhausted the essence, and the strongest players have already played, but this score just can't catch up, which makes him anxious and regretful the underestimation at the beginning of the game.

If Bao Ke is sent to the field at the beginning, if he doesn't hide Yuzhu as a surprise soldier, Lingnan will at least not lag behind now!

The strength of Xiangbei's inner line was completely unexpected by Taoka, and after Lingnan's main force went into battle in the second half, it was the continuous scoring of Maki and Akagi that offset the momentum of Lingnan's chasing points, dragging Lingnan into the quagmire and rolling together.

In all fairness, in terms of interior offense and defense, Lingnan in the second half occupied some advantages.

Uozi grabbed two offensive rebounds and one defensive rebound, while Akagi grabbed just one offensive rebound.

But these only make the gap between Lingnan and Xiangbei, from 7 points at the end of the first half to the current 3 points, if you want to equalize or even overtake the score, Lingnan needs to do more.

However, Tianoka regretfully found that he had always hidden a hand in his hand, but he had already played the cards cleanly.

Now he has to rely on the players who are already on the pitch.

Wakamatsu made a meritorious service, and he tried his best to leap and cover the real wood's mid-shot. Maki thought he had already passed him, but he reached out from behind and tapped it on the basketball.

The ball didn't even touch the rebound, and it fell.

Uozi jumped a palm's length higher than Akagi, touched the ball first, and slapped the basketball towards Matsumoto.

The ball fell from above, and Kuroda, who was not tall enough, could not stop Matsumoto from taking the ball this time, and Matsumoto ran backwards after passing the ball and took Kuroda away.

Tsukahara did not hesitate after receiving the ball, and passed it to Hoshina as soon as possible, so that his ace could take on the responsibility of sharing the ball.

Baoke turned half a step faster than Shakura, started half a step faster, and dribbled at a speed.

Shakura desperately chased back, but was thrown away by a change of direction in front of his body, which not only lost his defensive position, but also hindered Mizuno's change of defense.

With plenty of space, no one on the court could stop Hoko, so he came to the basket and faced the last defender, Kuroda, and did not choose to give the ball to the unguarded Matsumoto, but changed hands and easily sent the ball to the basket.

Kuroda was a little alert, and he saw clearly that Baoke wanted to make a foul to smooth out the score difference in one fell swoop, so he retracted his hand without jumping very well, so that Baoke did not finish the whole work.

However, relying on this attack, Lingnan chased the score to 57-58, and Xiangbei only had a one-point lead.
