"Huh? Amu, you also came to see the game in Xiangbei? Next to the vending machine in the basketball hall, Xiandaozhang unexpectedly saw the first player in the county, Mu Shenyi of the Hainan team.

"I heard that Xiangbei won Lingnan in the practice match, I want to see if Xiangbei is improving too fast or you are regressing!" Mu Shen is very concerned about the dynamics of the opponent, before the national competition, he will go to Aichi County to see the Aichi Star, and now I heard that Xiangbei won Lingnan, why not come to see it.

"Ho-ho, maybe you and Fujima won't have a chance to meet in the joint finals this year." Xiandao didn't get angry because of Ah Mu's words, "Your supremacy in Hainan may also be lost." ”

Back in his seat, the game was about to start, and Shen Long was making the final mobilization for them, "Today's starters are Akagi, Mitsui, Miyagi, Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi, Akagi, Mitsui, remember that you only have half time, at the beginning of the second half, no matter how many points you lead, I will replace you, Rukawa Kaede, this time it's the same, if you score more than three times the number of assists, I will replace you." ”

It's too stupid to have so many leads in the original book and let the main team play for so long, not only did I lose the opportunity to train as a substitute, but I was also prone to injury.

"Yes, Coach!" Five starters took the field and the game officially began.

Miyagi's sharp breakaway, Mitsui Shou's accurate three-pointer, Akagi's strong attack under the basket and Kaede Rukawa's single quickly beat Miuradai to the ground, and Sakuragi Hanamichi also played well after adapting to the game, rebounding and fast-break layups, but with a little more fouls.

"There are so many excellent players in Xiangbei, Xiangyang is really dangerous." A Mu muttered to himself in the stands that at the end of the first half, Xiangbei had already taken a lead of more than 30 points.

In the second half, all the starters except Sakuragi Hanamichi went down, and the five people on the court were replaced by Sakuragi, Mu Dui, Kakudota, Yasuda and Kuwata, Shen Long arranged tactics for them, "Yasuda, you control the pace of the game, try to slow down as much as possible, pass the ball to Sakuragi when attacking, Sakuragi, try your feints to make layups when you have defense, pass the ball if you don't have a chance, Yasuda and Mu Twilight will run out of the empty space." ”

With the four main forces missing, Xiangbei's strength has been greatly reduced, and Miuratai seems to see an opportunity to chase points, but Yasuda controls the rhythm very well, and almost consumes thirty seconds of time for each attack.

Sakuragi Hanamichi's feints succeeded twice, and then they lost their effect, but fortunately, he still remembered the coach's words and helped Yasuda and Ki Twilight score a lot of points.

When he was sent off, Xiangbei still led by nearly ten points, and at this time, it was only seven minutes before the end of the game, and Akagi returned to the court to stabilize the situation.

In the second game against Kakuno, Kakuno's strength was weaker than Miuratai, and the main force played for fifteen minutes, and Shen Long replaced them, at this time Xiangbei scored sixty points, and Kakuno only took ten points.

This time even if it is a substitute, the score did not lose to the opponent, so look at it, the first two years of Xiangbei was eliminated in the first round is really bad luck, one year met the top 16 teams, the second year met the top four Lingnan; If Akagi and Twilight meet Kadono, I'm afraid they can easily win.

After the main force left the court, the defensive pressure was all on Sakuragi Hanamichi, and in the fourteenth minute of the second half, Sakuragi Hanamichi once again withdrew with five fouls, but this time he left a double-double of 12 points and 13 rebounds, and he was already a qualified main player.

It is worth mentioning that with Sakuragi's rebounding guarantee, Ki Twilight and Yasuda also scored double-digit points, although it is the reason why the opponent is too poor, but it is still good for helping them build confidence.

When the time came to the beginning of June, Xiangbei's opponent was replaced by Takahata, Takahata's strength was slightly stronger, Shen Long did not remove the four main forces at once like the previous games, but adopted a rotation strategy, led by Mitsui and Rukawa Kaede respectively to play for a period of time, Sakuragi Hanamichi insisted on leaving the game until fifteen minutes in the second half, which was an improvement from the previous game.

His experience is slowly accumulating, and he has a vague understanding of the scale of defensive movements, and in two more games, it is estimated that it will not be so easy to exit the game.

In the fourth round against Tsuhisatake, stimulated by the opponent's center Nango Kuichiro, Sakuragi Hanamichi ushered in a big explosion, grabbed 23 rebounds in the whole game, broke the record of the county competition, firmly limited Tsuhisatake's three-point tactics, and created many opportunities for Xiangbei to break fast and secondary offenses, so that Xiangbei finally defeated Tsukutake.

It's a pity that Hanamichi Sakuragi still fouled with two minutes left in the game, otherwise the rebounding record in the county tournament would have risen.

After this game, only Xiangyang was left in front of Xiangbei, and as long as they beat Xiangyang, they could enter the joint finals.

"Dad, why do I get sent off every time, the referee must be targeting me, you have to think of a way." Sent off four times in a row, Sakuragi was very depressed.

"Sakuragi, in fact, you have improved, in the first game you only played 33 minutes, and in the last game, you can play a full 38 minutes, what a great improvement!" Shen Long praised, "This shows that you have gradually adapted to the game, and you have a clear understanding of the referee's penalty scale, and it would be good to play two more games." ”

"Aha, because I'm a genius!" As soon as it is praised, Sakuragi Hanamichi will not be able to find the north.

"Sakuragi, Xiangyang has four players over 190, whether you can win the next game, your rebounding is crucial, and the hope of Xiangbei is on you." Shen Long knew that Sakuragi had rarely been praised and valued in his previous life, so he encouraged him at every opportunity.

"It's good to wrap it up on this genius." When it comes to rebounding, Sakuragi is nothing short of that.

"I'll teach you something today! Your bounce and speed are excellent, so sometimes if you can't fully grasp the rebound, you can start with one hand and then take a second jump to get the rebound, so that your rebounds will increase. "Xiangyang's four elders have average bounce and bounce speed, and if you learn this hand, the game will not be so hard.

"Daddy, I see!" Sakuragi Hanamichi started a new round of special training with enthusiasm.

In the last round of the qualifiers, all four seeded teams appeared, the first game was Xiangbei vs. Xiangyang, Shen Long glanced at Xiangyang's bench, and Fuji, who served as the coach, was making the final arrangements for Hanagata and others.

After announcing the starting lineup, Shen Long said to them, "See, Xiangyang's ace is still sitting on the bench, and your task is to force him out of the game within five minutes." ”
