Chapter 282: Joint Finals
In the first half, under the leadership of Sendo and Naito, Lingnan won nearly twenty points.
The advantage is not small, but Coach Taoka is cautious, he would rather be overly cautious than have accidents.
Therefore, at the beginning of the second half, Lingnan sent the main force to further expand the advantage and defeat the sun in one fell swoop.
After all, the west of the sun is not the Xiangbei team of the drama year, there is no fighting spirit and mentality that will never give up, and under the wave of offensive in Lingnan, it didn't take long for the second half to show a rout trend.
The defeat is like a mountain, and the sun is out of the west, the fighting spirit of the players is crushed, and they can't see the hope of victory, and even grind foreign workers on the field.
It didn't take long for Coach Taoka to wave his hand and start sending substitutes on the field.
In order to avoid accidents, he did not replace all the main players, but continued to keep Naito, who was more energetic, on the field.
In this game, Sendo seems to score more points, but in terms of contribution, Naito is the most.
Without Naito's defense and rebounding, as well as a powerful dunk, it would be impossible for Lingnan to defeat Hinodeshi in such a short period of time.
For Naito's performance, Coach Taoka is more satisfied.
Although Naito did not completely improve the bad habits from rugby, it was much better than before, everything was moving in a good direction, and he believed that after a while longer, Naito could be perfected.
As for Xiandao, Coach Taoka can see that he is playing a little tangled, and he always has difficulty suppressing his desire to attack, and now it is not an ordinary difficulty to let him organize the whole team to attack.
The current immortal path is still playing the role of a terminator, not a battlefield commander, similar to Rukawa Kaede before the transformation of the plot year.
There were no accidents, and when the game was over, Lingnan won a big victory and successfully advanced to the joint finals.
In this game, Sendo scored 32 points, Naito had 23 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocks, and their debuts were perfect.
It didn't take long for the next game to begin.
The two sides are Xiangbei from the four groups and the seeded team Tsukutake, which is also one of the highlights of this round.
As a veteran powerhouse, Tsukutake has a gorgeous style of play and is very popular with the audience, while Xiangbei was the dark horse in Kanagawa Prefecture last year, and has such an excellent and popular player as Mitsui.
Akagi: What about me?
In the eyes of the audience, Mitsui's strength is stronger than Akagi, and he is still the face of Xiangbei, and he has been called the four superstars of Kanagawa together with Yuzumi, Fujima and Makishen.
Compared with Mitsui's popularity, Akagi still counts.
Akagi doesn't have the elegant style of play like Mitsui, and he can't do the brutal play and exaggerated statistics like Yuzumi, so it's normal that his popularity is not as good as that of an outside star player.
Even in the era when center is king, the popularity of outside players is still generally high, which can be seen from the NBA's previous All-Star Game ticket kings, such as Michael Jordan, Dr. J, George Gervin, Magic, etc.
Jinjiuwu's strength has not been damaged, and from the perspective of the strength on the books, it is not much worse than Xiangbei, and even has a lot of advantages in cooperating with Jinjiuwu.
This is something that can't be helped, Xiangbei's starting lineup is all first- and second-year players, and Jinjiuwu is mainly third-year players, and Jinjiuwu's cooperation is naturally above Xiangbei.
It's just that Tsukutake has serious flaws, they don't lack excellent players, but they lack ace players who are enough to carry the façade.
Yukazu Wu and Hiroshi Natsume are both excellent, but they can only be considered role players, and it is difficult to lead Tsukushi to the next level.
After the game started, the two sides were mainly tentative, and neither could help the other for the time being.
Jinjiuwu's offensive rhythm is very fast, and the coordination of the Xiangbei team is relatively rusty, and they can often easily tear apart the defense and score through tacit cooperation.
As for the Xiangbei team, Tsukutake couldn't restrict Mitsui and Akagi's play, and they took what they wanted, especially Akagi Gangxian, and Tsukutake's shortcomings of not having a tall inside line were completely exposed.
Akagi fought very well, and with the cooperation of him and Iwata Sanqiu, the Tsukumu inner line that directly hit was defeated.
As for Ryota Miyagi, his performance is not as good as that of Ki Twilight, as his opponent is Hiroshi Natsume, who has a similar style.
Hiroshi Natsume and Miyagi are of similar height and weight, and their speed is similar.
The difference is that Hiroshi Natsume has developed a mid-range shot, and he has more experience in the game, but he has overwhelmed Miyagi.
When the tentative was over, Coach Anthy focused on interior defense and rebounding.
Under Akagi's intimidation, Tsukushi players can often only float and shoot from a distance.
The hand of the Tsu Jiuwu players is very good, but the scheming coach Anzai does not think that they can maintain such a good hand all the time, and when their hand is no longer hot, that is when the Xiangbei team is ahead.
During this period, Tsukutake's Kazumi Kawasaki saw Coach Anzai's plan, and he also tried to disrupt the rhythm of Xiangbei and wanted to take advantage of the chaos.
Unfortunately, Coach Anzai knew Coach Kazumi Kawasaki very well, and under his planning, Kazumi Kawasaki's plans ended in failure.
Tsukutake's inner line is still too 'soft' after all!
In the final analysis, this is also related to the fact that Coach Kazumi Kawasaki is a student of Coach Anzai, and it is reasonable to be crushed.
Soon after, Tsujiu Takeshi no longer felt hot, and due to the disadvantage in rebounding, Xiangbei steadily gained the upper hand and began to expand the point difference.
"Without a high-quality inside line, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Tsukushi to even enter the top four of the county competition in the future."
Looking at the situation on the field, Coach Kazumi Kawasaki sighed lightly.
It's just that high-quality inside lines are hard to find, and they have always been fragrant, and 'fish that slipped through the net' like Akagi and Minggaoguang are undoubtedly very few.
Even if it's Yuzumi, there are many teams recruiting when he graduates from junior high school, just because he is the first altitude of Kanagawa junior high school, unlike Akagi junior high school, which is only about 190 cm when he just graduated, this treatment is naturally different.
The later games can be described as calm, Tsukutake tried to counterattack, but under the huge rebounding disadvantage, he was finally unable to return to the sky and was defeated by the Xiangbei team.
With the end of this game, it also means that the top four of the Kanagawa Prefecture Competition are hotly released, which are Lingnan, Xiangyang, Hainan and Xiangbei.
After advancing to the joint finals, the focus became who would be Lingnan's first opponent.
For the other three teams, they all want to be Lingnan's first opponent, after all, such a rare opportunity may be difficult to see again in the future.
The Lingnan team during the Yuzhu ban period is all fragrant and sweet in their eyes.
