Chapter 105: The Rebounding Maniac (Third Update)
It's a small gymnasium, and it's only a few hundred seats when it's full, but even so, it's still not full, and even a lot of seats are vacant.
Yuzhu took a cursory glance and found no familiar people.
Kanagawa is too far away from Kyoto, and it is difficult for ordinary high school students to afford the ticket and accommodation fees, otherwise the trio of Yohei and Dugua would not have worked in advance to make money.
Soon, the players began to warm up.
Iwashimizu High School is from Hokkaido, and it was awarded as the runner-up in Hokkaido.
In Basketball Weekly, Iwashimizu was rated as a C-level team.
Well, like Xiangbei in the original year, Iwashimizu University is also participating in the national competition for the first time.
Even so, the cautious Coach Taoka carefully investigated the information of Iwashimizu High School, and even dragged his friends to get the video of Iwashimizu's competition in Hokkaido Prefecture.
After watching the video of the game at Iwashimizu High School, Coach Taoka believes that Iwashimizu's strength is similar to that of Tsukutake.
Suddenly, there was a faint commotion in the gymnasium.
Yuzhu looked up and saw several players entering the gymnasium.
Group 3 Seeded Team - Love and Academy!
Yuzhu recognized it at a glance, not to mention that there were also big figures of stars among them.
In the first round, Love and Academy automatically had a bye.
The reason why Aihe Academy made a special trip here was because they felt that Lingnan was a threat to them.
There is no way, the king Hainan has been defeated by Lingnan, not to mention that Zhuxingda and the gentry have a good relationship.
It is very likely that Mu Shenyi revealed information about Lingnan to Zhuxingda.
If you look closely, you will find that the eyes of Aiwa Academy players are mainly focused on Yuzumi.
This is also common sense, after all, Yuzhu is the trump card of Lingnan, and it is also the MVP of the county competition.
It didn't take long for the warm-up of the two teams to end.
The players surrounded the coach and began to lay out their tactics.
"Fish live, preserve strength."
Before going to the game, Coach Taoka solemnly instructed.
"I know!"
Yuzhu knew what Coach Taoka meant, so he naturally agreed, not to mention that the opponent was just Iwashimizu, so he didn't need to go all out at all.
After the players from both sides came on the court, Uozi and Iwashimizu center forwards stood in the center circle and began to execute the jump ball session.
He could clearly see Iwashimizu Zhongfeng swallowing a mouthful of saliva, looking nervous.
Most people will feel nervous when they see Yuzumi's size, not to mention that Iwashimizu's center is only 190 centimeters and weighs just over 80 kilograms, which is completely incomparable to Yuzumi.
The next moment, the referee threw the ball high.
When the basketball fell, Umoto pressed the center of Iwashimizu and passed the ball to Matsushita Xujian.
At the moment of receiving the ball, Matsushita Xujian immediately activated, his speed was so fast that he caught the opponent off guard, and almost rushed across the half court in an instant.
Until this moment, Iwashimizu point guard and quarterback all rushed towards him.
"Captain!"
Asahi Matsushita immediately chose to pass the ball and quickly passed the ball to Yusaku Ozawa.
As soon as he received the basketball, Yusaku Ozawa used a feint to easily break through and quickly rushed to the penalty area.
At this time, Yuzhu had already rushed to the edge of the penalty area.
Seeing Yusaku Ozawa's movements, Yuzumi pointed to the sky while rushing into the restricted area.
Iwashimizu hurriedly entangled Yuzhu, but it was difficult to slow him down.
The confrontation between the two is very different, and it is more than one level behind.
Without hesitation, Yusaku Ozawa threw the ball to the basket.
Yuzhu looked up and moved at the same time, and immediately jumped up when the basketball approached the basket.
Bang dang~
Yuzhu grabbed the basketball with both hands and violently smashed it into the basket.
The courage of the center of Iwashimizu is commendable, and he wants to stop it, but the difference in size between the two is more than one level, giving people a feeling of being a mantis arm as a car.
In mid-air, Uozumi and Iwashimizu collided.
Iwashimizu Zhongfeng's expression changed greatly, and he lost his balance in an instant, and was easily knocked away by Yuzhu.
Bang dang~
Yuzhu burst with both hands and took the lead in scoring two points for Lingnan.
Yuzhu let go of the basket, glanced at the fallen Iwashimizu center, and reached out to pull him up.
"Captain, that's it!"
In the process of returning to defense, Yuzumi raised his hand and Yusaku Ozawa slapped his palm, and everything was silent.
"It's just a ball, let's hit it back!"
Seeing that the morale of his teammates was a little low, Iwashimizu's ace and captain hurriedly stood up to boost morale.
"The captain is right, we'll call back!"
The morale of Iwashimizu's players temporarily returned to normal, and they quickly rushed to the Lingnan position and began to actively participate in the attack.
More than ten seconds later, Captain Iwashimizu ran out of the vacant seat and immediately jumped and shot the basketball the moment he received the basketball in the horn area.
"Nani!"
Suddenly, a huge black shadow rushed up.
Syllable~
In mid-air, Yuzhu waved his hand and hit a volleyball hat.
Since the speed and flexibility statistics have exceeded 70, Yuzhu's defensive range has expanded to the three-point line.
The basketball bounced off the floor and raced towards the opposing halfcourt.
Panasonic Asahi Sword has a keen sense of smell and sprints at the fastest speed.
As Lingnan's 'little fast horse', his speed was fast, and he caught up with basketball in a blink of an eye.
Matsushita Xujian picked up the basketball and quickly went down.
The Iwashimizu players hurriedly returned to defense, but they couldn't catch up, so they could only chase after the back and eat ashes, and finally watched Matsushita Xujian score a layup.
After conceding this goal, the Iwashimizu players couldn't help but glance at the captain, and their morale dropped significantly.
Captain Iwashimizu was a little embarrassed, his mouth was open, and he didn't know what to say.
In the latter process, Yan Qingshui was obviously suppressed by Lingnan.
Even if Coach Iwashimizu called a timeout many times, it would be to no avail.
The gap in strength between the two sides is too large, especially the gap on the inside, so big that even the best tactics can't make up for it.
After testing Iwashimizu's level, Uozumi began to focus on the defensive end, and the offensive end was dominated by secondary offense and air catch.
Yuzhu almost turned into a rebounding maniac and didn't let go of any of the rebounds he could get, not to mention the assistance of Inoue Toyoshi.
Due to the guarantee of rebounds, Lingnan players can shoot with confidence, because of the relationship between the first time they played the national competition, many Lingnan players were a little nervous, resulting in frequent shooting.
However, the Lingnan players still shot resolutely.
No way, the rebounding gap between the two sides is too big.
Unlike Lingnan, the loss of the rebounding guarantee, Iwashimizu players lack confidence when shooting, and it is inevitable that there will be hesitation, which will affect the shooting rate.
For a while, the two sides frequently hit iron, grabbed rebounds one by one, and had more offensive opportunities, which led to Lingnan quickly pulling away the score.
By the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was 40:19, and Iwashimizu's half-time score was not even more than twenty, what a tragedy!
