The disparity in overall strength
In terms of shooting percentage alone, this kind of thing that looks half at talent and half at hard work, Mitsui Shou at this time undoubtedly has it.
Once the two teams compare shots, the only thing that really decides the outcome is rebounding.
Being able to grab more rebounds means more shots.
Through his rich game experience, Mitsui Shou has keenly discovered Fujima's shortcomings, and successfully made Fujima Kenji give up his speed advantage and shoot instead. Giving up the strengths and taking the weaknesses turned the situation to the side that is favorable to Xiangbei.
The rest depends on which side can have more shots.
The two sides go back and forth, Mitsui just scored a goal, and Fuji Zhen immediately wanted to return the color, and the score went up alternately.
Although Mitsui had a better feel than Kenji Fuji and a higher shooting percentage, the score of the two teams did not go as Mitsui expected - they could catch up quickly and then take advantage of the opportunity to pull away.
Under the basket, Akagi Goken fell into a bitter battle.
As the center forward in the original book who also ranked in the top four in Kanagawa two years later, the gap between Akagi and Hanagata at this time is actually not big.
Akagi's shortcomings are that he is unstable in ball control and has a poor foundation; The disadvantage of the flower shape is that the body is not able to resist the body. The shortcomings of the two are exactly the strengths of the other party.
Therefore, the difference between Akagi and Hanagata at this time is determined by the experience of the match.
At this time, the importance of the environment was reflected, and with the experience accumulated by Shigeki Hirokawa, Hanagata Toru performed significantly better than Akagi when facing Akagi, who was taller than him but had rough skills.
Whether it is the card position, confrontation, scrambling for rebounds, and the style of play that avoids the real and the virtual, it makes Akagi Gangxian, who has come into contact with a new opponent for the first time, feel very helpless, and he has no strength but no place to use it.
In the past team practice matches in Xiangbei, Akagi only needed to hold the ball and turn around and squeeze casually after receiving a pass from his teammates, which could destroy the center of gravity of his teammates' bodies, and then calmly slam the dunk and grab the rebound, Akagi can also use his tall body to occupy the most suitable position and card his teammates behind him.
But when facing the flower shape thoroughly, Akagi was stunned to find that the tricks that were invincible in the team in the past are no longer good. The guy on the other side doesn't have much physical contact with him at all, and normally just relies on changing positions to block his receiving route. Only before grabbing the rebound and jumping, will he be stuck firmly in front of him, and in such a short time, he has no time to exert his strength at all.
The gap in experience and awareness makes Akagi Goken very difficult to do both offensive and defensive, and even the rebounding that Akagi is proud of, Kagata can always rely on experience to predict the right direction before Akagi.
Akagi's heart was gloomy, is this Xiangyang's player! Everyone is also in the first grade, and the other party not only has a master who can be on par with Mitsui Shou, but even the center of the first grade is so powerful!
The meager self-confidence that Akagi had accumulated through the team's practice was wiped out by the performance of Hikaru Haneda and others in just a few minutes.
However, I don't admit defeat! My dream is to be the man who dominates the country! I can't just fall here!
With Fujima's shot deflected again, between Akagi and Hanagata, a new round of rebounding battles is about to start again.
Seeing Hanagata Toru once again stuck in the best starting position before him, Akagi Goken's eyes showed an unwilling color, but it was quickly replaced by perseverance.
"Ahh
Akagi let out a vented roar, Akagi jumped up and took the lead in grabbing the rebound.
It worked!
Syllable!
Akagi, who grabbed the basketball, just had a hint of joy in his heart, but before he could land, the basketball in his hand was knocked away by the flower shape that was also in the air.
Then the basketball was accelerated by Hikaru Haneda and got it after throwing off Yamaguchi Village.
After hesitating for a moment, Hikaru Haneda gave up playing by himself and passed the basketball to Fujima.
Watching Hikaru Haneda pass, Coach Anzai on the sidelines suddenly lifted his glasses, and secretly said in his heart, I see, Xiangyang's luck this year is really good.
After receiving Hikaru Haneda's pass, Kenji Fujima was obviously stunned for a moment, slowly calmed down, and did not make an immediate move.
Through more than a dozen offenses and defenses between the two sides, Kenji Fujima finally realized that he obviously had more opportunities than Mitsui Shou, but the scores of the two teams were always the same. That shows that at least in terms of pitching, he is indeed far inferior to Mitsui Shou.
Mitsui Shou looked at Fuji Zhen, who had been dribbling without making a move, and sighed silently in his heart. When Fuji Zhen and himself exchanged shots just now, it was obviously a good opportunity, and he felt good today, but he couldn't open the score at once. Now that the opponent has obviously begun to calm down, it will not be easy to open the score.
"Fujima, pitch!"
Mitsui Shou and Fuji Zhen, who were confronting each other, were stunned when they heard Haneda Hikaru's words, and they all turned their heads to look in the direction where the voice came from.
But after seeing Hikaru Haneda notice the sight of the two, he leisurely made a wrist-pressing shot at the basket with his hand.
Mitsui Shou was puzzled, what is the situation? This guy Haneda should know that this kid in front of me can't beat me when he shoots.
While Mitsui Shou was puzzled, Fuji Shin made a pass to the ground, crossed Mitsui and passed the basketball into the inside again.
Hanagata, who got the basketball, did not hesitate as he did a month ago, only to see Hanagato holding the ball in both hands, dangling to the right, and quickly retracting and turning to the left to shoot a jumper.
Akagi, who is not experienced and was deceived by the flower-shaped fake action, also quickly turned around and jumped up to cover it, but it was always a step too late to jump, and it was obviously too late.
The orange basketball board is framed and swirls and falls in the white net.
Mitsui Shou finally came back to his senses, and his eyes staring at Hikaru Haneda were a little strange. The ball just now, from Fujima's pass, to the turn and jump shot after the flower feint, although it has nothing to do with Hikaru Haneda's gesture. But Mitsui Shou obviously realized that Haneda Hikaru had the same purpose as himself, all for training!
Hikaru Haneda gave a thumbs up to Fujima's performance, and it was clear that Fujima understood what he meant, but he didn't do what he suggested.
Kenji Fujima has his own opinions, although he has been fighting with Mitsui Shou, it doesn't mean that Fujima hasn't paid attention to the performance of others.
As an excellent point guard, Fujima has a wider field of vision than Hikaru Haneda, and in observation, Akagi's performance in grabbing rebounds is getting better and better, which is enough to make Kenji Fujima, who has calmed down, change his way of thinking.
If you use pitching to train the flower shape to grab rebounds, Fujima feels that not only will it not work, but it will help the opponent's center grow. Therefore, Fujima decisively chose to pass the ball according to his own ideas, wanting to see Akagi's performance against Hanagata's singles.
"Oh, hehe~~~"
Coach Anzai, who saw this on the sidelines, also stood up and slowly walked towards the door. It is not difficult to see that with today's Xiangbei, there is no chance of winning against the new Xiangyang led by Hikaru Haneda.
Even if you rely on Mitsui's outburst and barely bite the score, but so what? These are just a few first-year players in Xiangyang, and Xiangbei can already be said to be the strongest lineup at present, after all, it is not enough.
At this moment, after seeing the performance of Hikaru Haneda and others, Coach Anzai suddenly felt some regrets for Mitsui in his heart. Xiangyang is still like this, and Hainan, which dominates Kanagawa, doesn't know what kind of situation it should be?
Although Mitsui Shou has the outstanding talent of not losing to Hikaru Haneda and Kenji Fujima, under the current basketball environment in Xiangbei, it is difficult to enter the round-robin of the qualifiers, let alone the national competition.
If you can't compete with a great team and confirm each other, you will only be pulled further and further away.
Why is the strong team getting stronger and stronger, because the environment he is in, the opponents he faces are all strong, and the pressure from all parties is pressing, and it is difficult to stay strong. And Xiangbei, although it has the sincere heart of two players who want to become stronger, can't even squeeze in the door.
Basketball, after all, is a five-person sport.
