Chapter 86: The Second Half

"Mountain King, substitution!" Coach Domoto took the lead in making changes, replacing Satoshi Ichikura with Minoru Matsumoto, who was only 171 tall, Mitsui who defended 184 was really struggling, and Nobe Shohiro was also replaced by Kokawada.

"Wow, that's so high!" Kawada, who is 210 tall, caused an exclamation from the audience, and the coach of the famous friend in the stands said to Mori Shigekuan, "Ah Kuan, he may be the only one taller than you in this tournament!" ”

"Sakuragi, this guy is a complete novice, he can only turn around and shoot in one move, it's enough for you to withstand him!" Shen Long called Sakuragi and said, "His ability to hold the ball is very average, he can let other players come over to wrap up, you not only have to do a good job of rebounding and defense in this game, but also help Xiangbei score points." ”

"Got it, Daddy." Hanamichi Sakuragi gasped, the match made him feel more difficult than ever, but it also fueled his fighting spirit.

Kokawada's strength surprised Sakuragi Hanamichi, and the first time the defense was easily squeezed away by the opponent to shoot and score, but Sakuragi recovered quickly, and immediately shook off Kokawada on the offensive end to enter the inside, Kawada Masashi rushed over to make up for the defense, Sakuragi passed the ball to Akagi, and Akagi dunked and scored.

"What! He actually withstood it, it's a monster! Looking at the 189 cm, 85 kg Sakuragi firmly resisted 210 cm, and 130 kg Kokawada, the players and spectators were stunned, and they couldn't believe their eyes.

No, there is still a person awake, Rukawa Kaede took advantage of Kokawada's stunned kung fu to rush into the basket and break the ball successfully, taking the opportunity to launch a fast attack, but unfortunately his speed still can't catch up with Zebei, and he didn't find a chance until he rushed to the basket, Rukawa Kaede had to reluctantly throw the ball to the rebound.

"There's no way you can score goals." Zebei smiled, but he was surprised to find that the corners of Rukawa Kaede's mouth also showed a smile, Zebei just landed, he heard a loud roar behind him, a red figure fell from the sky, grabbed the basketball that bounced back to make up for the score, and looked back to see that it was Sakuragi Hanamichi, Xiangbei's speed is not only Rukawa Kaede.

In the first half, there was Mitsui Shou's three-point contribution, and in the second half, Sakuragi Hanamichi opened the situation on the inside, allowing Xiangbei to end the first half with a 42-34 lead.

However, whether it was the players of the King of the Mountain or the spectators in the stands, they did not take this point difference to heart, "It is already very good that Xiangbei can do this step, and when the King of the Mountain makes a full-court press in the second half, he will still win." ”

"So, let's take five minutes to build a double-digit lead!" After Coach Domoto finished speaking, he looked at the coaching seat in Xiangbei, Coach Anzai, will you let us achieve this goal?

"Everyone did a very good job, but the game has just begun, and in the second half, the king of the mountains will definitely press the whole court, Miyagi, are you ready? Remember, you only need to hold on for five minutes; The full-court pressing is very demanding, even the king of the mountains can only hold on for five minutes, and their previous schedule is harder than ours. "Facing Hainan, Aihe and two top four teams successively, plus a top eight team, the physical exertion of the mountain king is not light.

As for Xiangbei, the first few games were all fish belly, and Luo'an in the last game was slightly stronger, and the physical reserves of Xiangbei players were not as good as those of the Mountain King, but the consumption was much less than them.

"Coach, I've been preparing for this game for more than a month!" Miyagi clenched his fists, and he remembered the days when he was trained by Mitsui Shou and Rukawa Kaede.

The game restarted, Fukatsu and Zebei's bag clamp was much more powerful than Mitsui and Rukawa Kaede, Miyagi's first breakthrough failed, and Zebei broke the ball to score two points, and the second time was the same, in less than half a minute, the difference was only four points.

"See, this is the strength of the Mountain King!" The fans of the King of the Mountain in the stands were extremely excited.

"Could it be that Xiangbei is going to lose too?" Ah Mu, Yuzhu, Zhuxingda and others were in a depressed mood.

"You guys are underestimating me too much, and you are shining Miyagi Ryota!" Miyagi slapped his face twice to calm himself down, catch the ball, bow down, and get out of the gap between Fukatsu and Zebei.

"I knew, I knew Miyagi wasn't that easy to deal with!" The gentry, who had suffered from Miyagi, clenched his fists.

The mountain king's retreat was very fast, and by the time Miyagi took the ball to the frontcourt, the five defenders were already in place, Fukatsu was still in front of him, and Zebei continued to keep an eye on Rukawa Kaede.

"There's only one person left, it's so relaxing!" Miyagi didn't do anything, decisively broke through Fukatsu's defense and entered the inside line, Okawada flew over to make up for the defense, but unfortunately Miyagi's throwing shot was too fast, and the basketball crossed above Okawada's fingertips and fell into the basket, and the score difference returned to six points again.

"It's okay, let's do it again." Zebei decisively used the singles to pull back two points, and then continued to wrap Miyagi with Fukatsu.

Rukawa Kaede pretended to catch the ball to attract Zebei's attention, Miyagi broke through again, and the mountain king's full-court pressing was cracked by Xiangbei.

Seeing that this move didn't work, the offensive combination of Sawabei and Minoru Matsumoto began to exert their power, and Rukawa Kaede and Mitsui couldn't stop them at all; Since you can't prevent it, let's win on the offensive end!

Akagi repeatedly mentioned the outside line to Rukawa Kaede and Mitsui Shou to block and dismantle, Rukawa Kaede scored by blocking and dismantling the inside line, Mitsui Shouyuan shot, Okawada followed out but let go of the basket, Sakuragi Hanamichi repeatedly scored points on Kogawa's head, the two sides fell into a stalemate, Xiangbei stubbornly held the lead, and the point difference has been hovering between 4 and 6 points.

Okawada took the initiative to change the defense of Sakuragi, Akagi formed an advantage over Kogawada, although Kogawada has height and weight, the inside line technology is far from being comparable to Akagi, Okawada runs back and forth between Akagi and Sakuragi, and his physical strength is consumed quickly.

In the last five minutes of the second half, Okawada's jump speed and height were far less than at the beginning, but Sakuragi Hanamichi was still violent, he leaned on Okawada under the basket, received the ball and pushed it back twice and quickly turned around and jumped, Okawada tried his best to jump, his fingertips were still far away from the basketball, and he could only watch the basketball go into the net.

Looking back, Sakuragi sensed Zebei's breakthrough route with his beastly intuition, causing Zebei to foul offensively, and then grabbed an offensive rebound in the front court and passed to Mitsui Shou on the outside, Minoru Matsumoto saw that Mitsui was still more than a meter away from the three-point line, and hesitated and did not step forward to press.

"Hehe, this is also within my range!" Mitsui Shou remembered what Shen Long had said to him at the beginning, and made a decisive shot, and Minoru Matsumoto began to collapse.
