Chapter 82: We Are the Champions
"Muto." Coach Gao Tou can be said to be the best coach in the entire comic of "Slam Dunk", and if he can't make a plan, he gestures to Muto, and the next time he attacks, Muto is fouling Sakuragi Hanamichi directly.
You've only been playing basketball for three months, and even if you learn to shoot under the basket, you won't even be able to shoot free throws, right? If this method works, the next step is to cut the cherry trees directly.
"Haha, what is that guy doing!" Sakuragi Hanamichi stood on the free throw line and posed as a urinal, causing the audience to laugh, but when the free throws were over, the head coach suddenly stopped laughing, although this action was ugly, the shooting rate was not bad, and both free throws were all hit, so that his plan fell through again.
So, it's up to Ah Mu, and then Mu Shen repeatedly hit the basket to score, causing considerable pressure on Xiangbei, Shen Long was unmoved, let Sakuragi Hanamichi tightly lock the outside of Ah Shen, he knew that Mu Shen's breakthrough alone could not kill people, as long as Hainan did not have a second scoring point, Hainan would be over when Mu Shenyi's hit rate dropped.
Mu Shen saw Xiangbei's intentions, and turned to pass to Kiyota Nobunaga and Muto Masa, but unfortunately the shooting rate of these two people was too poor, and they were intercepted by Rukawa Kaede and Akagi when they burst into the basket, and the scores of the two teams were deadlocked.
Gao Tou made adjustments again, replacing Muto Zheng with a short three-point player Gong Yi, adding a scoring point on the outside, Shen Long saw the move and replaced Rukawa Kaede with Mu Dui, Mu Dui's defense was average, but it was 18 cm taller than Gong Yi, which could not only limit his play, but also shoot against Gong Yi in the offense.
Gong Yi can't shoot here, but Mu Du hit a three-point shot when he turned around, Xiangbei has two strong points inside and outside Chimu and Mu Dui, and there is only one Mu Shen in Hainan, so it's not easy to live in Hainan.
By the end of the first half, Xiangbei had an 8-point lead, and because of Shen Long's reminder, Akagi paid attention to Takasago's small movements and fouls, and did not end up injured like in the original book.
At the beginning of the second half, Hainan came up with a full-court tight killing move, but unfortunately it was cracked by Xiangbei again, during this time, Miyagi has been practicing dribbling to the front court under the sandwich of Mitsui and Rukawa Kaede, and was still able to protect the ball under the bag of Mu Shenyi and Kiyota, coupled with the response of Rukawa Kaede and Mitsui, Hainan's bag clamp was not successful, but was hit by Xiangbei a fast attack.
The full-court pressing lasted for five minutes, but it was still impossible to close the score, so Hainan had to give up, strengthened the cover of Ah Shen on the outside, and scored two three-pointers.
Shen Long also resorted to the last resort, according to Ma Bo's analysis, although Mu Shenyi's breakthrough was sharp, but it was not uncrackable, in the comics, most of his breakthroughs were launched from the right hand side, in response to this situation, Xiangbei set a trap, Miyagi used the position to force Mu Shenyi to break through from the left hand side, the inner line Akagi stood in a good position, and Sakuragi Hanamichi behind him waited to make up the defense.
This led to a great reduction in the scoring efficiency of Mu Shenyi, although his left hand is powerful, it is far inferior to his right hand, and once Mu Shen is restricted, the outside line of Ah Shen also loses half of its effect.
In the next game, although Ah Shen occasionally broke out, coupled with Kiyota Nobunaga's play, Hainan played two waves of small climaxes, but unfortunately this offensive climax could not last, and Rukawa Kaede, who had always maintained his physical strength, began to play, using his outstanding singles ability to maintain the lead of Xiangbei and not let Hainan approach.
In this way, Xiangbei maintained its lead, allowing Hainan to usher in a depressed defeat and successfully get off to a good start in the joint finals.
Worthy of Coach Anxi, can we also adopt this strategy in the game against Hainan? In the stands, Shigeichi Taoka was impressed.
"Akagi, let's compete in the national competition again!" Mu Shen unwillingly held Akagi's hand and said.
Did we really win the king Hainan? Akagi still felt that all this was like a dream, and it took a long time to react, "If you want to enter the national competition, you have to pass the level of Lingnan first, and Lingnan is not easy to deal with." ”
"Coach, we won, we really won!" A group of people ran over and threw Shen Long high, Mitsui's face was full of tears, Miyagi and Mu Du were similar, and Sakuragi Hanamichi was so happy that he couldn't find the north.
"I said a long time ago, you are strong! Hainan was the top four in the country last year, and if you can beat Hainan, you already have the opportunity to compete for the national championship. Shen Long encouraged.
In the second game, Lingnan easily defeated Buri, and after going back, Xiangbei continued his training, and another week passed, and when it came to the second round of the joint finals, Xiangbei also easily defeated Buri, but the game between Lingnan and Hainan surprised the players in Xiangbei.
Xiandao played point guard, and added Fukuda Yoshizhao, an attacker, Lingnan's changes were beyond the expectations of Xiangbei players, especially Rukawa Kaede, who was observing Xiandao almost the entire game, and he felt that Xiandao in this game was more difficult to defend than in the practice game.
"This is because Xiandao has more options for passing in addition to shooting and breaking, he and the other four players in Lingnan have been integrated, and you are still outside of Xiangbei's tactics, Xiandao wants to defend You only need to pay attention to shooting and breakthroughs, naturally it is easier than you." Shen Long reminded.
"Rukawa Kaede, you want to go to the United States, right? With your current strength, there aren't many players that Japan can limit you, but it's not the same in the United States. Shen Long told Gu Ze's story to Rukawa Kaede again, "Gu Ze's strength was stronger than you are now, but there are too many players in the United States who are better than him......"
"When you go to the United States, you can't lead the team to win through singles like you do now, you can only start as a role player, so from now on, learn to pass like a fairy and really integrate into the team in Xiangbei."
Like the original book, Hainan defeated Lingnan in overtime and regained the hope of qualifying, while Lingnan could only pin his hopes on the last victory over Xiangbei, so that the three teams were two wins and one loss, and they could also get the chance to qualify by calculating small points.
It's a pity that Shen Long didn't give them this opportunity, he took advantage of the disadvantage of Lingnan and Hainan fighting hard in overtime and excessive physical exertion, and adopted the run-and-bomb tactics at the beginning, which greatly consumed Lingnan's physical strength, and when the second half began, Yuzhu and Futian couldn't run a little.
Liuchuan Feng listened to Shen Long's teachings, no longer obsessed with heads-up, his passing made Xiandao more difficult to defend, and finally Xiangbei defeated Lingnan and won the county competition championship with three wins.
Akagi won the best player, Mitsui and Rukawa Kaede were selected for the best team at the same time, and the remaining two were Amu and Xiandao, who was not selected because of his poor performance in the first battle of Xiangbei.
