Chapter 72: Xiangbei vs. Wuyuan (1)

Fortunately, Suzuki is not a tangled person, and there is still a week to prepare. After observing in daily training, Suzuki determined that Takeyo still owed some fire, so he still arranged for Kuroda to start.

Two matches were scheduled for the weekend of the week, and Xiangbei's first opponent was Wu Yuan.

The two schools are very close to each other, so it doesn't matter if you are home or away, you can walk to Fujisawa City Gymnasium.

Whether it is for Xiangbei or Wuyuan, as a weak team in the top four of the county, if you want to enter the national competition, you must at least defeat your opponent, get a guaranteed victory, and get a ticket to the play-offs.

It's a game that neither side can afford to lose.

Although Suzuki was prepared to lose to Wuyuan and then fight Hainan, after watching Wuyuan's defeat to Hainan last week, he still felt that there was no need to push himself into a corner. It's enough to go through three teams with one win and two losses than to qualify, and Suzuki definitely doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes after two years.

In the last game against Hainan, Wuyuan lost a little badly, and Kotaro Hayama encountered a difficult opponent that he had never seen before, Makishiichi, who was so restrained by him that he stumbled almost the entire game.

And after Wu Yuan lost the sharpest spear, he was naturally beaten to the ground and collapsed.

It wasn't until 16 minutes of the second half that Mu Shen left the field with five fouls, and Ye Shan burst out with amazing combat effectiveness like a tiger of Izuku, but it was too late at this time, and no matter how quickly Wu Yuan chased the score, he couldn't save the defeat after all.

The final score was 70-54.

However, Rao is like this, Ye Shan still scored 42 points in one game, his personal strength is beyond reproach, and it was Wu Yuan who dragged him down.

Except for Ye Shan, the rest of Wu Yuan's players almost couldn't even make a move in front of Hainan!

Today it is the turn of Xiangbei to fight Wuyuan.

When the whistle blew for the start of the match, Suzuki suddenly found that his heart was so calm that he couldn't feel it at all, and this was a crucial match.

"Is it because the pre-game preparation is too thorough?" Suzuki muttered to himself.

"Huh? What are you talking about? Momoi asked. At this time, she also tied some of her thoughts to Suzuki.

"Nothing. We watch the game. Suzuki laughed.

"Hmm." Momoi answered, picked up the scoreboard and pen, and Xiangbei had already scored.

Suzuki basically continued to start the previous game, the only difference is that Mizuno is arranged in the point guard position.

Compared with Endo, Mizuno's individual attack ability is inferior, but today Xiangbei has an absolute advantage on the inside, and he doesn't need the point guard to shoot frequently.

Wuyuan's center forward is second-year Shioya, who was defeated by Liang Chuan of the same grade in Hainan last week, and also fell behind against Akagi today.

The jump ball was Akagi who won the victory, and when Xiangbei advanced to Wuyuan's basket, Shioya still had no way to take Akagi, so he squeezed out of position and made a layup.

Akagi had a lot of gains in the half-time match against Mangrove, and became more adept at taking advantage of his height and strength. Akagi's own athleticism is not bad, and his feet are flexible in the center, and now these qualities are used comprehensively, and in front of Shioya, who is inferior in all aspects, he is an inexplicable existence.

Wu Yuan's counterattack was handed over to Hayama to fight as usual.

Hayama finally received the basketball from Shinji Ihara through continuous reverse running, and then the action rate suddenly accelerated, although Yanagisawa was on guard, but he still didn't keep up, and he was passed by him in one step.

Kuroda suddenly flashed behind Yanagisawa, but the long-planned foul was unsuccessful.

At the moment before Kuroda closed his eyes and prepared for the collision, Hayama temporarily changed direction, turned at a right angle and brushed Kuroda's side, and the two did not make contact at all.

Xiangbei's supplementary defense is not over, and behind Kuroda, Mizuno appears again. In view of the fact that the Ihara brothers' mid-range shooting ability is not strong, Xiangbei's outside defense is simply a false story, and the focus is completely on Hayama's side.

It's just that the defense of these three people still didn't stop Hayama's assault.

Hayama took another step to speed up, and his hands and feet exerted force at the same time, and the sound of dribbling overwhelmed the shouts of the audience, and like a bolt of lightning, he burst into the inside line from Mizuno's side and jumped to the basket.

He had long been told by Suzuki to beware of Hayama's fouls, and Akagi, who was placed on his breakthrough route, did not jump at all, but just stood on tiptoe to increase the height of some blocks.

Such a loose defense naturally couldn't stop Ye Shan, he used his wrist to exert force, his fingertips guided, and the basketball flew up and drew an arc, falling into the basket of Xiangbei.

2-2。 Wu Yuan equalised.

Xiangbei attacked again, obviously Kuroda had already run out of position, Ihara Shinji was a step slower and couldn't keep up, but Kuroda didn't shoot directly after receiving the ball, but passed forward to Yanagisawa who ran to the bottom corner.

It was supposed to be Hayama who defended against Yanagisawa, but Hayama was the point guard who was at the front with the opponent when he was defending, and Shinji Ihara and Kazushi Hasegawa, who were guarding the line of the restricted area on the left, did not pull out at the first time.

This gave Yanagisawa plenty of time to adjust, and he didn't waste the other party's gifts, and he made a three-point shot very comfortably to score the second goal for Xiangbei.

Hayama's second attack was the same as the last.

It was again that he passed Yanagisawa and Mizuno in a row, and used his speed to tear apart the outer defense of Xiangbei before Kuroda retreated. This time he went inside to face the real wood's defense zone. For the captain of Xiangbei, Ye Shan still had some scruples, and did not try to make a foul, but directly stopped the jump shot and scored 2 points.

The attack in northern Hunan was also nothing new.

Yanagisawa pulled the side to destroy the formation of Wuyuan's four-man defense basket, and when people came out, they passed the ball to the inside, and if they didn't come out, they shot three points by themselves.

Since Yanagisawa has already shown his three-point ability just now, this time Shinji Ihara will follow out to defend.

At this time, Maki took a step back behind Ihara, and Yanagisawa's ball was immediately passed.

Maki turned around and shot, Hasegawa had too much height difference, although he followed the position, but he didn't have time to jump, and he could only sigh at this ball.

Coming back, Hayama continued to swoop. His dribbling skills are really good, in the high-speed assault, change of direction, and emergency stop, the basketball shuttles back and forth between his hands and the ground, and it is almost an afterimage, but even so, Hayama can still control the ball, and he can also face the difference of defensive players, and shoot in various ways at any time.

"Every time I look at it, I'm still amazed. That's a frustrating strength! Suzuki sighed.

"But basketball is played by five people after all. No matter how strong he is alone, he can't be so strong from beginning to end. Momoi smiled, "Haven't you already laid a trap for this tiger?" ”
