Is this still Xiangbei? Has Coach Anzay finally started to coach the team in earnest? Coach Taoka was stunned as he looked at the situation on the field, this Xiangbei team and the one that Lingnan met last year were completely two teams.

Not only because the team has added three powerful players, Mitsui Shou, Miyagi Ryota and Rukawa Kaede, but more importantly, Xiangbei has gradually moved away from fighting alone, and the tactical system has taken shape.

Rukawa Kaede pulled the fairy road away, Miyagi broke through and passed to Akagi, forming a one-on-one under the basket, Ikegami came over and tried to wrap up, Akagi quickly transferred the ball to the vacated Mitsui, Uecao rushed over to make up for the defense, Mitsui transferred again, Mu Dui scored in the middle of the shot, and the five players in Xiangbei played a role in an attack, which was much more terrible than Rukawa Kaede and Akagi's singles.

Throughout the comics, Coach Anzai's ability can be said to be the top among the coaches who appeared, but because Coach Anzai has been trapped in the guilt of Gu Ze for a long time, he did not seriously direct Xiangbei, until Xiangbei reached the joint finals, and was moved by the children of Xiangbei and gradually became serious.

And now, from the very beginning, Shen Long has made up for the shortcomings of the Xiangbei players according to Ma Bo's guidance and Coach Anxi's own memory, and formulated appropriate tactical strategies for them, so that they can use tactics to open up space and get relatively easy opportunities.

Lingnan's players are not bad, but the lack of Fukuda makes them lose a ball-holding offensive point, cross-country, grass, and ikegami are all players who are better defensively than offensive, and they form a relatively perfect defensive formation with the inner line of Yuzumi, in terms of defense alone, they can be said to be first-class in Kanagawa Prefecture, and they will never lose to Hainan.

However, their attack was not very powerful, and they could only rely on Xiandao and Yuju, and Yuzhu was restrained by Akagi, and Xiandao was sandwiched by Rukawa Kaede and Mitsui Shoubao, and it had only been more than ten minutes, and Xiandao was already out of breath.

"Sakuragi, you will play in place of Akagi to defend the basket later, remember, if you have the rebound, you can control the whole court, take the rebound and immediately pass it to Miyagi or Mitsui, and let them attack." Shen Long is ready to send Sakuragi Hanamichi to play.

This substitution not only replaced Akagi, but also replaced Rukawa Kaede, so that Yasuda replaced him, Lingnan's defensive system pays more attention to the basket, and there is still space on the outside, and there is no chance to send Yasuda, but in this case, the defense will be more difficult, but this is a practice game, the victory or defeat is not important, and the training team is the most critical.

"Yasuda, don't hesitate when you encounter an opportunity, make a decisive move, and believe in your ability." Shen Long patted Yasuda on the shoulder and encouraged that if you want to win the national championship, you can't rely on five starters alone.

"Yes!"

"Dad, don't worry, you will definitely defeat the King of the Apes today!" Sakuragi Hanamichi's habit of giving people nicknames has not changed.

"Coach." Sakuragi and Yasuda appeared, but the replaced Akagi and Rukawa Kaede were a little puzzled, in their basketball careers, except for injuries or physical exhaustion, they had never been replaced.

"Akagi, let's let Yuzhu come to test the learning results of Sakuragi Hanamichi during this time!" Shen Long asked the two of them to sit down, "Rukawa Kaede, pay attention to how Xiandao plays, what is the difference between his role on the court and yours, and which of these two modes is more helpful to the team." ”

Sendo can be said to be Rukawa Kaede's best teacher, and it was Sendo's play in the final game of the joint final that made Rukawa Kaede realize the importance of passing, and woke up after the head-to-head failure of Eiji with Awakita.

"In the future games, I will often transfer the players, you have to prepare in advance." Throughout the comics, almost all teams are played from start to finish with five main players, which is very different from a real basketball game.

Shen Long thought about it, there may be two reasons, one is that he can't find so many outstanding players in the high school competition, so he can only resist with five main players; The second is that Inoue is lazy, after all, it takes a lot of effort to draw one more character.

"There is a game almost every day in the national competition, which is a severe test of the physical strength of the players, so there must be a substitute to help you share the pressure and reduce the physical exertion, and from now on, we have to prepare for the national competition." According to Shen Long's plan, before the joint finals, except for Sakuragi Hanamichi, the rest of the team will not play the whole game.

Sakuragi Hanamichi came on the scene, and after a brief period of nervousness, his ability fully exploded, although he did little to contribute on the offensive end, although it was difficult for him to stop Yuzumi's offense, but the task of grabbing rebounds was done well, and most of the rebounds fell into his hands.

In the original animation, Sakuragi Hanamichi joined the basketball team on April 17, and began to practice rebounding the day before the game with Lingnan on May 1, and grabbed 22 rebounds in the county tournament qualifiers with Tsukutake at the end of May.

"The rebound is mine!" Sakuragi roared and jumped high, snatched the ball thrown by Uekusa, and quickly passed it to Miyagi after standing firm, Miyagi quickly advanced the fast attack, and passed the ball to Mitsui behind the block of Sendo under the basket, and Mitsui hit a three-point shot.

This is another set of tactics in Xiangbei - a fast-break three-point tactic, even if they block Mitsui, Mitsui can also transfer the ball to let Mu Du or Yasuda get a chance to shoot.

However, due to the lack of an inside pillar, Sakuragi Hanamichi did not contribute on the offensive end, and Lingnan still overtook the score at the end of the first half.

Shen Long was not in a hurry, in the second half he changed the players again, let Mu Du and Miyagi go off the court to rest, replaced Akagi and Rukawa Kaede, two more offensive players, and Xiangbei's scoring efficiency increased greatly.

On the defensive end, Mitsui Shou and Rukawa Kaede got Shen Long's instructions, focusing on Sendo's passing and shooting, and let him break through to the inside line and hand it over to Akagi and Sakuragi to deal with, lacking Fukuda's firepower, Xiandao could only carry Lingnan's attack alone, and hit the inside line again and again, consuming a lot of physical strength, and the hit rate gradually decreased.

In the second half of the game, Sakuragi Hanamichi received five fouls on Sendo and Yuzhu and was sent off, Tsunoda Emperor was put on the battlefield, and Mu Twilight appeared again to replace Mitsui, and now the score is relatively open, and Yasuda controls the ball to slow down the offensive tempo, and when the game time is over, Lingnan still loses with a four-point difference.

"Thank you for the advice." The players on both sides bowed and thanked him.

"This time we lost, let's compete again when the county competition comes!" The strength shown by Xiangbei surprised Shigeichi Taoka, and he had to summon Fukuda to return to the team as soon as possible.

"Won, we actually won last year's semi-finals Lingnan!" Mu Dui, Yasuda and other veteran team members burst into tears with excitement.
