PS: Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the monthly ticket voted by the Invincible Grim Reaper, your support is the biggest motivation for me to write a book!!! Below is the text
The battle of Tianwang Mountain is actually the meaning of the key battle, and the game like the match point grabbing belongs to the battle of Tianwang Mountain, which means that this game is very crucial, and whoever can win will be able to benefit from an extremely advantageous position. It's a bit of the taste of the old Huang Zhong in the Three Kingdoms who grabbed the Dingjun Mountain. Originally, however, this phrase was only used in Japanese people, because it was not originally a term for basketball.
This is derived from a battle of Japan's Warring States period - the Battle of Yamazaki.
The Battle of Yamazaki took place in Japan in June 1582. Hideyoshi Hashiba, who was returning from Bichu Takamatsu Castle in a hurry, faced Akechi Mitsuhide, who had just successfully completed the Honnoji Rebellion, and on June 13, Yamashiro Province and Yamazaki of Settsu Province on his way back to Kyoto in China fought a war between the two sides.
After Mitsuhide's rebellion was successful, he immediately sent an envoy to inform the Mori clan and other rival daimyo of the Oda clan. Unexpectedly, the envoy sent to the Maori family was captured by Hideyoshi the day after his departure. After learning of the death of the lord, Hideyoshi urgently negotiated with the Maori side, gave up the territorial cession, and only asked the other party's general, Shimizu Soji, to make peace with the Maori clan. At 10 a.m. on June 4, the lord of Takamatsu Castle, Muneji Shimizu, seppuku. On the evening of June 6, Hideyoshi led his troops out of Takamatsu Castle and returned to Himeji Castle the following night. Hideyoshi distributed all the money and rations in the castle to the soldiers who were assigned to him, and prepared for a decisive battle. On the morning of June 9, Hideyoshi Hashiba personally led more than 10,000 troops into battle. In the middle of the night, the Hashiba Army passed through Settsu Hyogo. Before noon on the 11th. Arrive in Amagasaki.
After Mitsuhide killed Nobunaga, he was crowned the Grand General of Seiyi by the imperial court. He led his troops to capture Mt. Sawa and Nagahama, and successfully suppressed Kyoto and Omi. In order to guard against Shibata Katsuya in Hokuriku, Mitsuhide left Akechi Hidemitsu in Azuchi Castle to garrison. He also sent envoys to contact Tsutsui Shunkei of Yamato, Gamo Kenhide of Omi, Hosokawa Fujitaka of Tango, and Tadako (Mitsuhide's son-in-law) to send troops together. On the 9th, troops were dispatched to Toba. On the 10th, he went out to Hanoi. After learning that Hideyoshi's army was coming, Mitsuhide hastily withdrew.
On the 12th, the Yushiba Army arrived at Settsu Tomita. Tsuneko Ikeda, Shigetomo Takayama, Kiyohide Nakagawa, and Nobutaka Kobe and Nagahide Niwa, who were stationed in Sakai, led their troops to join Hideyoshi for a military meeting. (The total strength of the Yuchai army reached 35,000 men, compared to the 16,000 men of the Wise Army.) It was decided that Nobunaga's third son, Nobutaka Kobe, would be the titular commander-in-chief. Yamazaki at the foot of Mt. Tenno set up a formation to meet Akechi Mitsuhide. Hideyoshi held a combat meeting in Settsu Tomita. At the meeting, it was decided to go out from the west bank of the Yodo River to Yamazaki along the streets of Saikoku and prepare for a decisive battle. The whole army was divided into three divisions at Tennoyama: Ikeda Tsuneko, Kato Mitsuyasu, Nakamura Kazuji and others marched along the Yodo River; One is led by Takayama Shigetomo and Nakagawa Kiyohide as the vanguard, and Horihide is after the political break. Proceed along the streets of the West Country; In addition, Takataka Kuroda and Hidecho Hashiba led a group of men and horses from the foothills of Mt. Tenno. Prepare for an offensive from the western flank of the Wise Army. Niwa Nagahide, Oda Nobutaka and others pressed in the back together with Hideyoshi and Hidekatsu.
Meantime. The Akechi Army had already remained in Shimotoba's position. Akechi Mitsuhide thought that Hideyoshi would attack Kyoto directly along the Shimotoba Street, so he cut off Hideyoshi's route here. But now Hideyoshi is coming along the streets of Saikoku, which makes Mitsuhide's wishful thinking come to naught. Mitsuhide had no choice but to pull out the camp and move forward. Cross the Katsura River to meet the Hideyoshi army.
At noon, Oda Nobutaka and Niwa Nagahide again came to Hideyoshi's military camp in Tomita to discuss specific combat matters. In the afternoon, the Mitsuhide army from Shimotoba forcibly crossed the Katsura River and arrived at Katryuji Castle. At this time, Mitsuhide's hope of inviting a daimyo of the same level as himself to participate in the battle was completely shattered. Mitsuhide's army consisted of only 15,000 people, including his own direct troops, the Tanba people, and the former Muromachi shogunate. Compared with the 35,000-strong Hideyoshi army, it was at an absolute disadvantage.
At dusk, the wise side had already climbed Tianwang Mountain, and the others attacked the Nakagawa Qingxiu troops at the foot of Tianwang Mountain, trying to take advantage of the condescending location to break up the formation of the Nakagawa army from the flank, and the curtain of the battle officially opened. At the same time, Ise Sadako and others also led the team to cooperate with the frontal attack. Since Nakagawa was covered by Kato, Ikeda, and others on the left and right flanks, he decisively launched an attack and broke through the wise army in front of him head-on. The tide of the battle was clearly not in favor of the small number of wise troops. At this time, the long team of Yu Shiba Xiu broke through the Wise Army and the river team. The Akechi Army Reserve Ise and Fujita attacked the Yushiba Army from the right flank, and the Tsuda and Murakami teams flanked the Yushiba Army from the left flank.
The resistance of the Akechi army was extremely stubborn, especially the Saito Toshizo team transferred from the Tonolin Ridge had repelled the first team of the Hideyoshi army, Takayama You, and the second team Nakagawa Kiyohide fell into a bitter battle. When the second team was about to be defeated, the third team Ikeda Tsuneko and Kato Mitsuyasu joined the battlefield, and the situation gradually improved, and Saito Toshizo couldn't resist it.
At this time, gunfire rang out on Mt. Tenno, on the west side of the main road, and Nakagawa Kiyohide had occupied the heights of Mt. Tenno, and launched an offensive with muskets from the flank of Saito Rizo, which hastened Saito's rout. Matsuda Masaka in the Akechi Army attacked the Tennoyama Heights in order to sweep away the hidden danger of Saito Toshizo's team, but was repulsed by Nakagawa Kiyohide, and when he retreated to the foothills, he encountered Hori Hidemasa's team advancing along the foothills, and was attacked by Nakagawa Kiyohide on the mountain, and Matsuda Masashi died in close combat.
After an hour of fierce fighting, Saito's Rizo team was shaken, and Hideyoshi seized the opportunity to increase the strength of the right flank. Since the Akechi army was far behind, the left flank was weak, so the right flank of the Hashiba army advanced rapidly and began to encircle Saito Toshizo. Saito began to retreat, and Akechi Mitsuhide, seeing that the situation was not good, hurriedly sent reinforcements, but he had missed the opportunity, and as soon as the reinforcements arrived, they were surrounded and quickly defeated.
The rout of the front line implicated the whole army, and the banner of this formation fled without a fight, and the whole army was dispersed. Two hours after the start of the battle, Mitsuhide retreated to Katryuji Castle. Ise Sadako and other important ministers died in battle.
In the end, the Yuchai army continued to chase after the wise army that had gone away, and did not give him a chance to breathe.
In an attempt to make a comeback, Mitsuhide and a few of his close retainers left Katsuryuji Castle and fled to Sakamoto Castle. In Kyoto, Yamashina Ogurisu was attacked by the natives, and Mitsuhide was stabbed with a bamboo spear. Mitsuhide dismounted, and was mistaken by Mizoo Shobei and committed suicide.
The whole battle revolved around the battle for Tianwang Mountain, and in the end, the Yuchai army occupied the top of the mountain, and the rout of the wise army was logical.
Hence the name of the Battle of Tennoyama.
Later, this allusion was used in the Japanese chess world to describe a key game in a game of chess, such as the second game in a three-game game. However, for most Chinese, it is more customary to call this 2-2 game the battle of Tianwang Mountain, especially the basketball game. The third game was especially crucial. Most handball teams that win the third game go on to win the championship. Except for a very small number of teams that turn the tables with strong times and strong luck, otherwise, they are doomed.
So both the players and the coaches are quite important to this game. There is no doubt that both sides will put their best line-ups on their side to fight hard in the hope of winning this game.
Both sides lined up their strongest lineups, and this time Phil Jackson did not hide, Hores Grant was directly pressed to the bench, and Robert Horry, who was replaced, became one of the few starters this season. Although he knows that he is not very suitable for this lineup of the starter, he is more suitable to give the enemy the most lethal blow at a critical time, just like an assassin, killing with one hit. But when it came to the start, Robert Horry still felt that there was nothing, and he just played, not to mention that he still had an advantage. The 76ers' lineup hasn't changed, it's still the same. But Larry's tactics are different.
"We're going to fight a fast break!" Larry said in the locker room. "We don't have much to do, more often than not, we need to put the last move at the end, so we have to settle the fight with fast attack! So, please! Larry bowed to everyone.
"Coach, you don't have to do this, we will do our best!" Reid said.
"yes, we've had a lot of fast breaks in the regular season! We have experience and are not afraid! Big Ben said.
"But does Rashid have an impact?" Larry asked. "You've played in our aggro mode!"
"No problem! Instructor! Rashid said, patting his chest. I was totally able to handle it! ”
"Alright, Aaron, this time you're going to have a more important mission!" Larry said.
"Just give the order! Larry. Aaron said.
"Allen, your task is the heaviest and most important, if you do it well, then there is a good chance that we will beat the Lakers before I can make a move, and if we don't do it well, then we will probably lose!"
"So important?" Aaron asked. "I love it! Tell me! What a task! ”
"I'll tell you ......" (to be continued......
