Chapter 102: The Decisive Battle of Lingnan (7)

Unlike Taiga, who became the main player of the team in the first year, and Miyagawa and Yoshino, who began to emerge in the second year, Lantau did not start to get a stable chance to play until last year's winter trials.

Therefore, even now, the Lingnan team does not know much about him.

In the warm-up game, although Lantau played, he played as a small forward, and he was replaced after only ten minutes, and then he still played, but overall, there was no impressive performance.

Lantau who plays the guard is undoubtedly unfamiliar to Lingnan, and because of this, Heizi is completely unpredictable about his running route, and in the interspersed running of several people in Xiangbei, he lost people all of a sudden.

Imakishi touched Kuroko's head and said, "Don't care. We can call back. ”

Kuroko shook his head, threw all the distracting thoughts out of his head, and seriously organized the attack.

In the northern Hunan formation, Imai's defense was far superior to that of Shuiqiao, but Lantau was superior to Imai.

Kuroko tried his best, a series of changes of direction to break through, and just found a vacant spot to shoot, but Lantau moved back in time, leaving no chance for Kuroko to comfort him.

Kuroko felt the hot sweat on his face dripping down his face, and his lungs seemed to burn, although he knew that if he changed direction one more time, Lantau would not be able to retract and interfere again. But he also knew that his subsequent shot, I was afraid that it would be a lack of strength, so he reluctantly shot, and then wasted the opportunity, so he turned the ball to Imayoshi's hand, stopped running, and took a breath for a while.

Imakishi estimated that 24 seconds were approaching, and motioned for Hoshina to come out, and then he took advantage of the cover of Hoko's tall body to raise his hand and throw it out.

This hasty shot spun around the hoop, landed, and was picked up by Maki.

Taiga was already running, and Maki just wanted to pass the ball upside down, but he stretched out a hand behind his back, and a little on the basketball, the ball flew out of his hand and landed in Imayoshi's hand.

Mitsuhashi's steal!

Imakishi copied the ball and threw it again.

Taiga sensed that the ball was not coming, and when he turned to look, it was Imayoshi's quick shot to score 2 points.

Miyagawa got the ball under the basket, and after exiting the baseline, he immediately launched a long pass and threw the ball vigorously to Lingnan's basket.

Dahe started again, rushed across the half court to receive a long pass, and then dribbled all the way to the empty half of Lingnan, and with a sharp stop, he was about to shoot three points!

Call!

A big hand waved at the head of the river, and then the whole person lost his center of gravity, staggered back after landing, and almost fell to it.

However, it was Baoke's timely return to defense, temporarily delaying Dahe's shooting for a second or two, and buying time for Imyoshi to return to defense.

However, Dahe failed to make a shot, and did not insist on going his own way, he must throw the ball in, but threw the ball forward again.

The ball and Yoshino's high-speed rush past Hoko, who was unable to make defensive moves, and Lingnan's lead lasted less than 5 seconds before facing another point chase.

For the rest of the first half, the game fell into a tug-of-war between Xiangbei and Lingnan, with the scores of the two sides rising alternately, and neither side could lead the other side to 3 points.

However, in the period of about 5 minutes, both teams' scoring efficiency dropped sharply, errors abounded, shooting iron repeatedly, and by the time the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the score was 38-39, and neither team scored more than 40.

Obviously, yesterday's two games had a huge impact on both sides today, and after a quarter of an hour of fierce fighting, both sides were already running out of energy.

As soon as the players came off the court, Suzuki didn't care about arranging tactics to boost morale, and immediately arranged for them to rest.

The situation of Miyagawa, Maki and Yoshino made Suzuki feel at ease a little. The trio didn't run much in the first half, but because of Suzuki's advice, they all had reservations, and they are showing mild fatigue at the moment, and they can still persevere.

In Xiangbei's game today, there is not a single substitute in the front line.

Lantau is a newcomer, and he didn't play much yesterday, so there is no problem with his physical strength.

Suzuki's concern is for Taiga.

Half of Xiangbei's first-half scoring came from Dahe's direct score, in addition to his three assists.

Behind such brilliant and dazzling data is the unprecedented dilemma of slumping in the chair after half-time, constantly gasping.

You must know that in Xiangbei's match with Xiangyang yesterday, only Dahe was active on the field from beginning to end.

Just one day's rest obviously can't let Dahe shine again in another high-intensity game!

The sparkle of this half is already the limit of the big river.

In fact, none of Xiangbei's last few points in the first half came from Dahe, and after Dahe scored that unreasonable three-pointer, several teammates tacitly stood up to share the offensive pressure, and one hit a goal.

This is also one of the reasons why Xiangbei scored inefficiently at the last moment.

Thankfully, the situation in Lingnan is not much better.

After scoring one after another after the opening, Hoshina's state also declined, especially after Mizuhashi went off the field and Lantau came on the field to block Kuroko and his passing route, he was under Yoshino's marking, and he never got a point again!

Also in the same doldrums as Hoko are Mitsuhashi.

This center player, who is on par with Miyagawa's strength, can be said to have been suppressed by Miyagawa in today's game.

Not only in terms of scoring, he scored one less goal than Miyagawa, but he also made a mistake in defense and was beaten by Yoshino as a counterattack. However, the advantage of Miyagawa is not big, and it is real wood that really takes advantage.

Mitsuhashi had a layup by Miyagawa, but Maki received the ball and completed a dunk.

Maki and Asakawa opposite him in the first half can be described as difficult brothers, both of them only scored their first points towards the end of the game, but in terms of rebounding, Maki, who has a greater height and arm span, performed better.

However, Maki also had times when he was embarrassed, and the only 2+1 in the first half of Lingnan was scored by Imakishi.

If it weren't for his extra hand, the score at the end of the first half would have been a 38-38 tie, not a situation where Xiangbei is now one point behind.

In order to allow the players to get enough rest, Suzuki decided to abandon the arrangement tactics. In fact, he didn't have anything to arrange.

Xiangbei's cards are these few cards, no matter how they are combined, they can't play flowers.

The absence of the two main shooting guards, Mizuhashi and Imai, was not expected, something Suzuki did not expect. He asked the two to go up and shoot a few more balls at halftime to find their touch, but it didn't look any different than before.

After looking left and right again, Suzuki sent Endo, Abe, Yanagisawa and Kuroda to warm up, confusing the line of sight. As for who will be sent as a substitute, at present, it seems that only Endo can be used.

However, Endo's height is more than 10 centimeters different from that of Hoshina, and if he plays, he can only play as a playmaker by pushing Oga to the small forward position.

But in this way, Suzuki has a headache again, will Imayoshi blow up Endo again. Lingnan's two guards scored 21 points in the first half, if they were left alone, would Xiangbei collapse?

Suzuki was in distress.
