Sakuragi's worries are not unfounded, after the start of the second half, Midorima's state has recovered, and after a miss, he grabbed the rebound from Magami, and made another three-point shot, and finally opened the hu.

Suzuki and Taiga glanced at each other on the field, and Suzuki said, "After this IH, Akagi and Hotta will retire." There will be a big slippage in our internal strength. ”

Oga nodded and replied, "Now it looks like Maori is still a little reluctant to play center. He's not tough enough to stand under the basket, and the best position for him is power forward. ”

Suzuki grabbed his hair and said, "Rukawa's physique is a little thinner, and his height is a little insufficient, and he is not a good candidate for the center position. Danan's physique is good enough, but his height is still short. ”

The little yellow-haired Danan is also a mixed-race child. When the freshmen joined the team, Suzuki announced that the team rules said that they were not allowed to dye their hair, and after a month, they saw that Danan was still golden after shaving his head, and he only learned after asking.

After entering high school, Danan's height is also soaring, and by the end of the county competition, when he signed up for IH for the second time, he had grown 3 cm taller in two or three months, from 181cm when he first joined the team, to 184cm. However, even if Danan continues to grow taller at this rate, he will not be able to reach 1.9 meters in the remaining 3 months.

Dahe reminded: "Actually, there is still one person in our team who can play the center position. ”

Suzuki naturally knew that he was talking about Sakuragi, but he shook his head and said, "Occasionally let Sakuragi hit the inside line and rush to grab rebounds, I have no objection." But I have to fix him in the center, so I don't allow it. Playing center is not good for his career. Moreover, if he can't find an opponent at home, I will send Sakuragi to the United States in advance. You have to be prepared for the team to lose Sakuragi suddenly. ”

Dahe also scratched his head when he heard this, thought for a while and said: "Either after this tournament is over, I will train Maori desperately and hone all the abilities he needs to play as a center forward, or we can only change some tactical playing styles and learn from teams like Fengyu and Hakata that do not have top center forwards." ”

Suzuki is not a person who holds on to the flawed, he understands better than anyone else the truth of tailoring the rice to the pot.

It's just that it took five years to initially establish a system for Xiangbei, but it has to be changed because of the lack of success in one or several competitions, and he is really a little reluctant.

However, Suzuki also understands that if Taiga wants to produce results quickly so that he can join in the future professional league, he must make changes to Xiangbei's tactics, unless there is a genius like Mori Shigehiro in the new students of Xiangbei next year.

Suddenly, Suzuki nodded reluctantly to Dahe: "Anyway, after this competition, Xiangbei is your decision." Change how you want! You can't learn everything from me, you have to have your own set of team building ideas. ”

Taiga could vaguely understand Suzuki's feelings, and the two of them were silent for a while, each thinking about their own thoughts, until Ayako and Haruko next to them shouted and screamed, and then turned their attention back to the game.

Xiangbei's rotation was not thorough, Maori did not fall, Sakuragi did not move, and Shakura did not change, in fact, Akagi and Rukawa were just allowed to rest from the second half.

It's just that Akagi and Rukawa are the absolute main forces in Xiangbei, and they are both players who have an advantage in the two positions of Xiude. Their departure reversed the situation on the field, and Xiude had the upper hand.

Mori against Magami, although not as good as Akagi, but still has a slight upper hand. However, the control of rebounding is not as good as when Akagi is on the court in the first half, showing a crushing situation.

Akagi's departure also affected Hotta's position as a power forward.

Perennial as a substitute for Akagi and Maori, Hotta's reputation is far inferior to his own two main insiders, but after fighting against them in the team for so many years, Hotta's strength is not bad at all, and it is still very stable to put it in the team below the top eight in the country and take a starting main position.

But the problem is that now Xiangbei has reached the semifinals, and the opponent is Nozomi Yuki, who is second only to Masashi Kawada and is still above Kawada in terms of attack power, and Hotta's defensive ability is still a little insufficient.

In the first half, relying on Akagi to check and fill in the gaps and cover each other, Hotta played well, and even inserted two hands on the offensive end and scored 4 points. However, without Akagi in the second half, Hotta's shortcomings were suddenly exposed.

The frequency of movement under his feet is not as fast as that of the other party, and he is not taller than the other party, and without speed and height, Hotta, who has no strength and strength, is like a clumsy bear, and has no way to form a knot that is as flexible as a loach, let alone have the energy to score points.

Hotta was formed into a complete explosion, small forward, and the team's deputy Twilight couldn't keep up with Matsumoto's rhythm and fell behind.

However, in the first half, Matsumoto scored a lot, and Rukawa couldn't prevent him, and the brilliant shots were all on the offensive end.

Mu Du has a breakthrough, but he can't compare to Rukawa, but he has one thing that Rukawa can't match, and that is the range of shooting.

Although Rukawa can also shoot three-pointers, his three-point stability is far less than that of Ki Dui.

If you don't count the non-human Sakuragi, in the group of outside shooters in Xiangbei, Mu Du is only slightly inferior to Wu Dai. It's just that, compared to the pure shooter Wu Dai, Mu Dui, who has more comprehensive abilities, obviously has more opportunities to play.

was broken by Matsumoto several times in a row, and after scoring a layup, Mu Du also played it back in his own way. A mid-range shot after blocking and dismantling made Matsumoto misjudge his range, and then pulled to the outside to respond, taking advantage of Matsumoto's main defense to break through, Yang's jump shot turned from virtual to real, and he shot three points.

Matsumoto could only watch the basketball go straight through the net, secretly crying out that he was fooled.

Yusei and Matsumoto were the only points that Hidetoku scored in the first half, and their activity was not enough to change Hidetoku's unfavorable situation.

What allowed Xiude to gradually chase down the score and narrow the gap to about 10 points was still Midorima's three-point shot, as well as the rebounds that Ma Shang and Yucheng grabbed.

Because the person who partners in the back line is Shakura, Sakuragi today focuses on defense, and the offensive end is mainly organizational, and he basically doesn't make any shots.

After Akagi and Rukawa went down, Shohoku's offensive efficiency decreased, and Midorima's touch and luck suddenly returned, which allowed Hidetoku to narrow the difference from 24 points to 10 points step by step.

The lead shrank dramatically, and several young players and managers shouted, but Suzuki was not in a hurry.

He saw the unfavorable situation of rebounding, but he didn't mean to bring back the inside pillar Akagi, and he didn't even change people, but just let Hotta and Mori swap places.

This adjustment did not improve Xiangbei's disadvantage in rebounding, but it made this point dumb.
