Chapter Seventy-Five: Free Throws
It's clear that Coach Takamiya wants Takamiya Motou to be able to restrain Aso.
Although Takanomiya is not in good shape, his physical fitness can be brought into play.
Compared with Taro Aso, Takanomiya Motoyu's physical fitness is not inferior, but the two have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Even if Takamiya Motoyu is still dizzy, but after all, he is waiting for work, but Taro Aso is tired and out of breath.
Coach Takao also did not ask Takamiya Motoyu to prevent Taro Aso from killing, after all, it was unrealistic, he only hoped to further reduce Taro Aso's hit rate.
With Takamiya Honyu playing again, Aso Taro was really in trouble, and it was difficult for him to get rid of Takamiya Honyu, not to mention, Takamiya Honyu strengthened the confrontation, which increased his physical attrition.
Seeing this situation, Coach Xiangyang had to change his tactical play and began to increase off-ball cover and blocking tactics.
In this way, Kenji Fujima was liberated.
Kenji Fujima is very strong, he is very fast, he has strong breakthrough and organizational skills, and he has the ability to shoot in the long range.
Kazuhiro Ikeda of the key Hainan is too clumsy, and in the eyes of Kenji Fujima, he is almost no different from a stake.
Under the organization of Kenji Fujima, the Xiangyang team began to bloom more and finally contained the disadvantage.
The two sides began to fight inseparably, and the head coach saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.
There is not much time left in the game, only two minutes left, but Xiangyang still occupies the advantage in the score, even if it is only 3-5 points.
But this point difference has not narrowed the Hainan team.
If it continues like this, it won't be long before the Xiangyang team is likely to win.
Then, Coach Gao did something that was unexpected.
He replaced Kazuhiro Ikeda and sent Kuraki as the center forward.
Compared to Kazuhiro Ikeda, Kuraki is clearly more flexible.
At the same time, the defensive knife Yuyu Ishida defended Kenji Fujima.
The gentry was on standby, ready to pack or cut off the passing route.
Coach Takato's countermeasures can be said to have an immediate effect, and Kenji Fujima clearly felt the pressure, and his efficiency began to decline.
However, Kenji Fujima was not an ordinary person after all, and finally stabilized.
In the last half minute, the Xiangyang team still had a two-point advantage, but it was the Hainan team that held the ball.
Mu Shen controlled the basketball steadily, stuck in the middle of the half, and stopped one step outside the three-point line.
His gaze was calm, not flustered at all, and he felt like the Hainan team was leading.
When there were five or six seconds left, Mu Shenyi finally moved.
Once again, he used his physical advantage to easily break through the emaciated Kenji Fujima and attack the penalty area.
"Gotta stop him!"
Taro Aso hurriedly launched a defense, but he was no longer at his peak after all, and his pace was much slower.
Before he could gain a foothold, the gentry took the initiative to bump into him.
At the moment of contact between the two sides, Mu Shen threw the basketball in his hand and flew towards the basket two meters away.
Honk~
At the same time, the referee's whistle blew.
After landing on the ground, the gentry only shook his feet, and his eyes fell on the orange basketball.
As his opponent, Aso staggered back two steps.
In terms of confrontation, he is not as good as Mu Shenyi, not to mention that he has an unstable foothold.
The basketball spun around the hoop and eventually fell into the hoop.
"Green team No. 4 blocks fouls, white team No. 7 adds a free throw!"
With the referee's voice sounding, the Xiangyang players suddenly changed color, and Taro Aso held his head in pain.
If he could stand firm just now, it would be a foul on Mu Shenyi.
However, Mu Shenyi also saw the opportunity, so he would take action against him.
Compared with the Xiangyang players, the Hainan players are ecstatic.
With only three seconds left, as long as the penalty is hit, Hainan has a good chance to win this game.
On the sidelines, Coach Xiangyang wanted to fight on the basis of reason, hoping that the referee would take back his fate.
It's a pity that the referee naturally couldn't change the penalty, not to mention that he didn't misjudge.
This is indeed a blocking foul!
On the free throw line, Mu Shen took a deep breath and said that it would definitely be a lie if he was not nervous, after all, this is a matter of success or failure of the Hainan team.
In addition, Mu Shenyi is not very confident in his free throws.
After dribbling twice, Mu Shen took aim and threw the basketball in his hand.
Boom~
The basketball smashed on the basket and bounced high, and Mu Shenyi's heart suddenly lifted, and he subconsciously wanted to join the ranks of competing for rebounds.
However, when the basketball began to fall, Mu Shenyi was surprised to find that the basketball seemed to land on the basket.
Swish~
The basketball fell into the hoop, and a touch of white net flowers instantly stirred.
At the same time, the bell rang for the end of the game.
"Win!"
The Hainan players were stunned for a moment, then rejoiced and spontaneously celebrated on the field.
Their opponent tomorrow is Tsukutake, and if nothing else, they will be able to defeat Tsukutake.
As a result, Hainan can get two wins and one loss in this year's joint finals.
On the other hand, the Xiangyang players looked like they were dead fathers, looking very frustrated and disappointed.
Taro Aso sat directly on the ground, his eyes blank.
If it weren't for him blocking the foul, the Xiangyang team would still have a chance to equalize, and at worst, they could still play overtime.
It's a pity that there are no ifs!
"No, we still have a chance, as long as we beat Lingnan tomorrow and have a higher net score than Hainan and Lingnan, we still have a chance to become the champion of the county competition!"
Taro Aso seemed to think of something, and there was hope in his heart again.
Without Yusaku Ozawa and Oribe Sasaki, Lingnan can't be compared to Xiangyang just by relying on Yuzumi, he feels that Xiangyang has a great chance of winning by a big score.
The advantage is mine!
After a moment of frustration, Aso regained his confidence.
What Taro Aso can think of, how can Coach Gaotou not know.
Coach Gao is also playing the idea of goal difference, and has decided to fight the main force in tomorrow's game to try to get more goal difference.
In the stands, Coach Taoka looked solemn.
With the Hainan team's victory over the Xiangyang team, this also means that the competition has fallen into a white-hot stage.
The three teams want to decide the winner, and it will mainly depend on tomorrow's game.
Coach Taoka's guarantee is a place in the national competition, and if he has the opportunity, he will compete for the championship of the prefectural competition.
Naturally, he wanted the best of both worlds, but it was very difficult.
"Everyone must have a good rest when they go back, so that tomorrow we can also have a better spirit to meet the challenge."
Coach Taoka disbanded the team, and when he was ready to go back, he must work overtime to design a strategy against the Xiangyang team.
