Hikaru Haneda was in a delicate mood when he made free throws, especially when he saw the innocent face of Akigo Kiriyama under the basket, because he didn't feel that Kiriyama had caused any physical interference to him.

I can only say that this referee is too cute, the outside line shepherd doesn't blow when he carries people forward, and after the inside line jumps, the clothes are wiped and touched.

In the end, Hikaru Haneda could only hold back a smile and aim at the free throw line for a while before throwing the ball in.

"Brush"

With the goal being thrown, the first half officially ended, with the score of 44:37, and Xiangyang temporarily took the lead.

Perhaps in the eyes of many spectators in the arena, this is just a seven-point difference at halftime. But in the coach's view, Hainan has lost far more than just 7 points.

First of all, due to Hikaru Haneda's full power, the efficiency of Makiqiang's singles was not as good as it was at the beginning of the match, which is likely to lead to a change in Hainan's attacking style in the second half. Because Maki's offensive point is no longer efficient, the risk continues to increase, but Xiangyang has not lost anything because of this, and it is still only Haneda Hikaru who defends Mu.

Secondly, from the end of the first half, Hikaru Haneda's sudden ability to score goals made Xiangyang once again have an extra player who is difficult to defend, and Xiangyang's stable shooting point has also become one more. Just a Fuji Zhen has already made Hainan feel very annoyed, either to wrap it up, or to send a shepherd to keep up. Now that there is another Haneda Hikaru, the defensive pressure on Hainan is undoubtedly more obvious.

Finally, if Hainan decides to change its offensive strategy in the second half, increase the number of shots and increase the offensive area, it will take time to observe and adjust. During this time, Hainan will inevitably make some mistakes, and can Hainan, which is 7 points behind, really have so much time?

It can be said that the game between Hainan and Xiangyang, so far, the initiative has completely fallen into the hands of Xiangyang.

"Hainan is in danger."

Taking advantage of the halftime time, people in the stadium, such as Shigeichi Taoka, have analyzed the current disadvantages of Hainan, and at the same time, they are also thinking about what they will do if they are high-headed?

Gao Tou said: What can I do? I'm desperate too. Hainan is obviously quite dominant in the position of striker and center, compared to Xiangyang, even if it is a newcomer in the first year, Mu's performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is still slightly stronger than either Haneda Hikaru and Fuji Zhen.

In the case of at least three positions on the field, the result is 7 points behind the opponent, and Gao Touli, who has the reputation of 'Confucian General', regrets a little in his heart, if only he could have seen Kenji Mizuno earlier, and used Fujima's high-speed fake attack to deceive himself.

In fact, there are not so many ways in high school basketball, one looks at whether the star players can take the lead at critical moments, and the other looks at the overall defensive level of the team.

It is not difficult for us to see from many high-level high-level games in later generations that in fact, the offensive level is just like that, and what really determines the outcome is to see who makes fewer mistakes, or who can cause more mistakes by the opponent through defense.

It is indeed feasible to continue to let Mu play alone in the second half, but now that Mu is only in the first grade, can his young heart really bear the pressure of saving the whole team? The physical exertion of the attacking side is always greater than that of the defending side, and with the loss of physical strength, can Mu really be like the first half, and keep looking at it?

Moreover, betting the hopes of the whole team on a first-year player like this, will it be too hasty for a king like Hainan?

Gao Touli is really desperate to have a player on the team who can help Mu share the offensive pressure.

This is just like in the original book, Lingnan has Futian, and Xiangbei has Mitsui, so they have the qualification to compete with Hainan. Two attacking players may have a problem with the distribution of the ball, but they can pose a much greater threat than one person. Even if one of them only runs off the ball, it can be enough to draw the attention of a large part of the defender and reduce the pressure on the ball-handler.

The current Xiangyang is like this, Haneda Hikaru and Fuji Zhen occupy one side, if Hainan focuses on defending Fuji Zhen, then pass the ball to Haneda Hikaru to play; If the focus is on Haneda Hikaru, then pass the ball to Fujima and break through and divide the ball.

As for both defenses, Mu can only say that he lacks skills.

Now it is a dead end for Hainan, and the only way to open up the situation is to make the whole Hainan team active. Find flaws in Xiangyang's defense, and then use your own strengths to attack Xiangyang's weaknesses, but it takes a certain amount of time, and what Hainan lacks the most is precisely time.

If Xiangyang pulls the score to double digits in the process of trying to find flaws in Xiangyang's defense in Hainan, it will be difficult to do. In the case that the strength of the two teams is not much different, the difference of more than ten points is difficult to chase for the entire high school basketball game around the world at this time.

There is only one reason, there are no shooters. In the late 80s, early 90s, the whole world, it was still the era of interior players dominating. There are very few pure shooters, and many famous shooters are part-time.

The reason is also very simple, the three-point shot is too much of a test of talent and effort of the player. In the case of average pitching talent, to become a shooter, you need to spend a lot of time doing boring shooting exercises, and only by cultivating muscle memory step by step can you slowly improve the shooting rate. This will inevitably result in not much time to practice other techniques, resulting in significant shortcomings.

For example, if a player could break through, would he still choose the long-range shot with the lowest percentage of hits? Moreover, if a player has a good talent for breaking, then why should he spend a lot of time practicing long-range shooting?

Every basketball shooter, like every sniper, needs both talent and the ball to feed, and relies on bullets to pile up, which can only be cultivated through continuous practice.

The cost of shooters is high, the training cycle is long, and the benefits sometimes depend on the feel. In contrast, a tall center is very marketable, even if it is just a beginner, as long as the person is tall and strong enough, after getting the ball, he will turn around and dunk the opponent, what technical content is required? Once you have stable income, it's much easier to talk about technology.

In the world of high school basketball, especially in island country high school basketball, it is difficult to produce a shooter without some special factors. This also leads to the fact that once there is a relatively large point difference between two teams with similar strength, it will be very difficult for the lagging side to catch up.

"Coach, you've been thinking about it for a long time, do you have any good ways to help Hainan?" Yuzhu couldn't help but use his rough voice to 'touch' Coach Taoka who was contemplative.

"Uh-huh—"

Shigeichi Taoka pondered for a moment, and then expressed his thoughts in Yuzhu's expectant eyes.

"Nope"

"What! Even the coach can't think of a solution! ”

Shigeichi Taoka's face darkened, and then he said: "Ahem, there are still countermeasures, but my method is a bit risky, and I don't know if it will work." ”

"Oh?"

"First of all, it is necessary for Hainan to strengthen its defense, and only by limiting Xiangyang's score first can there be hope of catching up with the score. So in my thoughts, Mu must be in the case of a single defense, all his strength to prevent Fuji Zhen from breaking through, as long as he stops Fuji Zhen from breaking through and splitting the ball, then Xiangyang's other shooting points are equivalent to more than half of them. ”

"What about Hikaru Haneda at Shoyo 14?"

"Wrap him up."

"Bag Clip!"

"Yes, only with the bag, from his breakthrough, it is not difficult for us to see that Hainan is only one person, it is difficult to prevent Haneda-san. If you defend with just one person, it would be best if Hikaru Haneda couldn't catch the ball, but if not, then you can only stop it by wrapping up. ”

"But coach, why don't you use a bag clip on Fujima on the 15th? Hainan's herd has always been in the opposite position with Haneda Hikaru, isn't it better to use herd to prevent Haneda Hikaru alone? ”

"That's because Fujima showed the ability to shoot from outside the three-point line, and Haneda-san didn't, plus Fujima's height is not advantageous compared to Maki, and Maki's defense is enough. If you use Hainan two people to defend Fuji Zhen and Mu to prevent Haneda Hikaru alone, it will seem a bit wasteful. ”

"Huh? Coach, I don't understand, no matter who is in the bag, isn't it the same who uses it? ”

"Stupid, Xiangyang's current point guard is Fuji Zhen, and Haneda Hikaru can wait for Fuji Zhen to have a passing action before proceeding, but if he clamps Fuji Zhen, wouldn't it have made Xiangyang have a person in a vacant position at the beginning."

"Whoa—"

Just in the middle of the conversation between Ooka and Yuzhu, the referee blew the whistle again, which also means that the second half of the game has begun.
