Defend & Break

The more familiar you are with your opponent, the more options you can have, and the less vice versa you have.

Just like playing a game and pushing a dungeon, the more times you brush the dungeon, the more you will naturally know the distribution of the mobs in the dungeon, how many, strength and weakness, etc.

Xiangyang has accumulated more than ten minutes and gradually understood the defensive methods of Hainan players, and chose a suitable style of play.

At this time, most of Hainan's offense relied on Mu Yiyi to break into the basket, so the other players in Hainan didn't know much about how Xiangyang would react as a whole.

The reason why the score did not open was more because Xiangyang inevitably made mistakes in the process of testing, which gave Hainan a chance.

"Huhโ€”Hainan asks for a timeout."

The referee blew the whistle after Xiangyang's goal, and Gao Tou finally couldn't sit still, and there was one minute and twenty-six seconds left before the end of the first half.

"Do you know what your problem is?"

The five players in Hainan had just walked off the court, and before they could wipe their sweat with the white towels handed by their teammates, they saw Gao Touli asking themselves with a black face.

The five of them looked at each other, stared at each other, and finally shook their heads in general. They thought in their hearts, although they didn't catch up with the score, but they didn't let the opponent expand their lead, and the half-time gap of 5 points, the coach wouldn't be unacceptable, right?

"Alas!" Gao Touli sighed, saying that he, as the head coach of Hainan, failed to discover Xiangyang's tricks in time, so he should be the most responsible.

In the audience, Shigeichi Taoka looked at Gao Touli who seemed to be reprimanding the player from a distance, and his heart was dark. The two have been fighting with each other for many years, but since they became coaches, they have been overshadowed by the junior Gaotou, and it is rare to see Gaotou deflated, and the mood is naturally comfortable.

Familiarity, something that takes time to accumulate, is not something that can be remedied right away if you want to. However, if you think about it carefully, Xiangyang made several mistakes in the process of testing and familiarizing, and Hainan did not seize the opportunity to catch up with the score, it seems that Xiangyang's progress this year is really great.

In the Xiangyang rest area, Kenji Mizuno walked around excitedly, for so many years, it is not impossible for a team to temporarily lead Hainan, but since Hainan has dominated so far, no team in Kanagawa has been able to force Hainan to take the initiative to call a timeout at half time.

"How do you feel? Is it physically exerted? Hirokawa? Kobayashi? Fujima? Haneda? If you feel that your physical exertion is too high, say it. At the critical moment, Kenji Mizuno asked each of his players with concern.

"Hey! Coach, and me! Kazuhiko Yamamoto raised his hand to indicate that he had not been asked, feeling hurt.

Kenji Mizuno smiled, stretched out his hand to rub Kazuhiko Yamamoto's hair, and then said, "Of course I know that you have worked hard, but you are also blessed, Kazuhiko, you can rest more later." โ€

"Huh? Instructor! Actually, I'm not tired at all! You see, it's incredibly active right now! Hearing that he was going to be replaced, Kazuhiko Yamamoto quickly jumped up and showed everyone his good physical condition.

Kobayashi Hiroshi glanced at Kazuhiko Yamamoto, who was like a treasure, and could only stand up and hold him down, and then said, "Sit down and listen to the coach's arrangement." โ€

Kenji Mizuno also waved his hand, asking several people to sit down and rest and listen to his deployment of the next style of play: "Hainan's high-head coach called a timeout at this time, he must have found something wrong." But the current time is not enough for Hainan to adjust slowly, so Hainan is likely to have a big move later, judging from the previous game, Hainan is unlikely to shoot from the outside, and the risk is also high. โ€

"In addition, Hainan's No. 12 newcomer is obviously an outside player's style of play, but he has more power than the inside player, so Hainan is likely to shoot on the inside later, so we must strengthen the inside line, cut off Hainan's last chance, and don't let them close the score before the end of the first half."

"So, if Hainan's Mu continues to break through, Haneda, Seto, the two of you will wrap him under the basket together, and Hirokawa will be responsible for blocking Hainan's Kiriyama, and Hainan must not be given any chance to attack under the basket."

"Coach!" Hearing this, Yutaka Seto raised his hand and interjected, "If I wrap up with Haneda, what will happen to the people I defend?" โ€

Kobayashi Hiroshi stood up again, turned his head to Seto Yutaka and said, "Don't worry, I'll lead that guy from Kawada to the other side, and then come over to help you make up for it, as long as the basketball can't be passed, what if the seat is vacant." โ€

"Let's go, get ready to play, and defeat Hainan in one go!" Glancing at the referee who was about to blow the whistle, Hiroshi Kobayashi shouted loudly to his teammates.

"Wow!"

The game continued, and Hainan reversed the normal state of steady and steady play, and began to attack quickly after serving. If Hainan wants to overtake the score before halftime, it must score at least three goals, but due to time problems, if it is still like before, it is obviously impossible to play slowly with one goal, so Hainan can only choose to fight quickly and shorten its offensive time as much as possible.

Hainan's attack was the same as Kenji Mizuno expected, and only by equalizing or even overtaking the score as soon as possible would Hainan not become passive in the second half.

So after half the court, the basketball went directly to Mu's hands. Compared with other players in Hainan after breaking through, there may be mistakes in the defense of Xiangyang, and it is undoubtedly the best choice to hand it over to Mu, who has proven his strength, and Mu is also a well-deserved ace player in Hainan.

However, just when Mu wanted to break through again, he suddenly found that Hikaru Haneda's face had changed.

Hikaru Haneda, who had always been smiling on his face, was like a different person at this time, with a preoccupied expression and sharp gaze, which blocked the breakthrough route of Maki's 'habits' in an instant, all of which made Maki feel great pressure.

Looking at Mu who hesitated, Haneda Hikaru sneered in his heart, hesitate, hesitate, hesitate.

But your time is running out, so now you have to rise to the occasion.

"Whew-"

Just like when he first broke through Hikaru Haneda, Maki exhaled another breath of turbid air and accelerated sharply to the side forward.

Click!

Unlike before, Hikaru Haneda, who had long been familiar with the speed and method of Maki's breakthrough, did not let Maki cut in this time. With just a simple sideways move, Hikaru Haneda stood in the way of Maki.

Bang!

In the end, Mu has many years of surfing experience, so that Mu has excellent control over the coordination of his body. In the face of Hikaru Haneda's lateral movement, before Maki was about to hit Hikaru Haneda, he made a crotch pass to the ground, handed the basketball to his left hand, and the calf muscles exerted force again, and the whole person changed direction to the left in violation of inertia.

Click!

Hikaru Haneda took a step back diagonally, and once again jammed Maki's forward path before Maki completely changed direction.

Looking at Mu who was forced back to the place by himself, Haneda Hikaru continued to sneer in his heart: Middle-aged man, I have been broken through so many times by you without any technical content, if I can't remember how fast your explosion is, I will really be in vain.

On the sidelines, Gao Touli, who watched Mu being forced back by Haneda Hikaru's defense, turned even darker. His eyes were fixed on Hikaru Haneda's face, this guy was obviously able to prevent Muki, but he only showed it at this time.

For Haneda Hikaru suddenly showed a level of defense, Mu did not feel too surprised, although he was deceived at the beginning, but every time he was broken through by himself, Haneda Mitsuyun's light and breezy expression made Maki feel puzzled in his heart.

Is it finally revealing its true strength? Ever since we know what you're calculating, you're not the only one hiding your strength!

Because of the excitement, because of the defensive level that Hikaru Haneda showed, Maki's eyes became brighter.

Maki once again attacked Hikaru Haneda's defense.

Change direction, turn around.

Turn around again.

It's over.
