Chapter 253: Two Lineups, Two Systems!
Monday, the day of the moon.
The schedule of the Autumn Country Sports has reached the fourth round, and the game has reached this stage, and the weak team has been eliminated, and every opponent that Kanagawa Prefecture will face next is a strong team.
Kyoto, a long-established basketball powerhouse, can basically advance to the quarterfinals on the IH court. When it comes to Kyoto, people often think that it is the same place as Tokyo, but the truth is that Kyoto and Tokyo are two places with neon, and the difference between them is the same as the difference between Xi'an and BJ.
One is the old capital of the former dynasty and the other is the contemporary capital.
In the IH stage, the teams in Kyoto were divided into different groups from Xiangbei and Lingnan, and the team in Kyoto was eliminated by Sanno Industry before meeting the team from Kanagawa Prefecture, so the players of the Kanagawa Prefecture team were not familiar with the teams and players in Kyoto.
Prefectural gymnasium.
Early in the morning, Coach Taoka led the team to the venue early. There are a total of four games in the eight-in-four, two in the morning and two in the afternoon. Their Kanagawa and Kyoto match was the second in the morning, while ahead of them was the Akita match.
The Akita Prefecture team, which is composed of all the main forces of Sanno Industries, is naturally one of the strongest contenders for the championship of this year's Autumn National Championship. For the Kanagawa Prefecture team, Akita Prefecture is their most threatening challenger in this tournament. For the game in Akita Prefecture, Coach Taoka still attaches great importance to it.
Akita Prefecture's opponent is Okinawa, and Okinawa's strength is not bad, but compared to Akita Prefecture, it is still a lot worse.
In the middle of the first half of the game, Akita Prefecture had already led the opponent by 10 points at 26:16, and in this game, Eiji Sawakita's performance was also quite active. After almost ten minutes of the game, Eiji Zebei's personal score had reached 11 points, and the offensive efficiency was quite good.
In the middle of the court, Akita Prefecture served the ball in the backcourt, and Fukatsu Issei who received the ball quickly held the ball and advanced, facing an opponent of this level in Okinawa, Akita Prefecture was obviously planning to fight quickly, and the offensive rhythm of the whole team was quite compact.
In just a few seconds, everyone in Akita Prefecture was pressed in the half of Okinawa Prefecture, but Okinawa's defense was not bad, and the joint defense played very methodically, and the players in Akita Prefecture only relied on the off-ball running position but could not successfully run out of the air.
After being worn for a few seconds, Kazunari Fukatsu no longer had the patience to wait for his teammates to run, and broke through with the ball himself. Fukatsu Kazunari, a sophomore in high school, is 178cm tall and weighs 71kg, and his physique is quite good, and Fukatsu Kazunari has solid basic skills, a wide field of vision, and the speed is also quite fast.
And as Kazunari Fukatsu tried to break through the inside line of impact, the joint defense of Okinawa Prefecture also quickly worked, and the two players closest to Fukatsu quickly leaned up, one left and one right blocked Fukatsu Kazunari's offensive line. And at the same time as Fukatsu Kazunari mobilized two defenders, Fukatsu flipped his wrist and passed the ball directly to the side three-point line.
"Smack!" With a soft sound, the basketball fell into the hands of Eiji Zebei, and as soon as Eiji Zebei received the ball, there were defenders in Okinawa Prefecture to follow up, but the opponent had not yet settled down, and Eiji Zebei crossed the opponent with an arrow step, not giving the opponent a chance to lower his center of gravity to defend at all.
Eiji Sawakita, who successfully broke into the middle distance, did not choose to continue deeper, but chose to make a pull-up jump shot near the basket.
The basketball flew out of Eiji Sawakita's hand and hit the board on the side and into the net.
With Eiji Zebei scoring a goal, cheers rang out from the stands.
"This Zebei Eiji, today's game is basically using mid-range shots as a means of finishing."
"The game has been played so far, shooting 6 of 7, and the one who misses the shot is still fouled."
"Although that free throw was one of two, but on the whole, this Eiji Zebei is in quite good shape! Such an efficient mid-range shot is more stable than when it was IH. ”
In the corner of the stands, Coach Taoka saw Eiji Sawakita score again, picked up the pen and recorded Eiji Sawakita's data on the notebook in his hand, and then said to the players around him.
Eiji Sawakita was deeply impressed by Coach Taoka at the beginning, and Eiji Sawawakita, who was regarded as the future of the mountain king by Goro Domoto, set his goal on the goal of "No. 1 in the country" from the first high school game.
With the later collapse of Eiji Zebei, but this kid's ability and talent are still not to be underestimated, and Coach Taoka is also quite concerned about the growth of Eiji Zebei.
In today's match between Akita Prefecture and Okinawa, Zebei's performance was quite impressive. Although the overall strength of Okinawa Prefecture is not as good as that of Akita Prefecture, the team's joint defense is still very good, but such a joint defense has not curbed Zebei's scoring, and such offensive efficiency inevitably reminds Coach Taoka of Jinguji Martial Arts, who is sitting not far away.
"Hey, this kind of mid-range offensive efficiency can already catch up with you."
When Shinomiya Tanno heard Coach Taoka say this, he glanced at Jinguji Martial Arts beside him, and stabbed Martial Arts in the waist with his elbow, saying what Coach Taoka thought.
"Well, it's really amazing, better than me."
Wu Dao nodded perfunctorily, lowered his head and dozed off. The game between Akita Prefecture and Okinawa was a bit boring, Okinawa is the kind of team that is good at defense, and it was quite tiring to watch the game of this kind of team.
"What an arrogant attitude!"
"Don't you like that guy?"
Seeing the perfunctory attitude of the martial arts, Shinomiya Tianye knew that the martial arts of Jinguji Temple did not take the other party to heart, but in his opinion, Zebei's ability was still quite good, and it could pose some threats to them Kanagawa Prefecture. Therefore, his dismissive attitude towards martial arts was a little surprising.
"This guy has an opponent he needs to face, so I won't worry about that."
"So far, Eiji Zebei's offensive means are very simple, but this is definitely not all his strength."
】
"In other words, in the face of an opponent like Okinawa Prefecture, Zebei is playing with ease, and in this situation, it is normal to cut some points."
"If this guy still has this kind of scoring efficiency under pressure, then I would really look at it."
"But at present, I can't see his ability in this area, instead of peeking at the leopard, it is better not to look at it from the beginning, don't leave an existing impression in my mind, and when we really meet, we will naturally be able to know the other party's ability."
"If you want me to say, instead of paying attention to this Eiji Zebei, it is better to pay attention to the center and the defender in Akita Prefecture, those two need more attention than Eiji Zebei."
Jinguji Takemichi explained, adjusted a comfortable position, and sat down on the seat to rest. The surrounding Kanagawa Prefecture players were also stunned when they heard this, and then they all put their eyes into the field, looking at Fukatsu Kazunari and Kawada Masashi.
At this time, it happened to be the offensive round of Okinawa Prefecture, and Okinawa's three-point shooting missed, and there was a rebound.
Under the basket, two players from Okinawa Prefecture rushed to the basket, ready to grab the rebound, but on the side of Akita Prefecture, only Masashi Kawada guarded the basket alone. But he was the only one who accurately judged the landing point of the basketball when the rebounding ball appeared, easily stuck a player in Okinawa Prefecture, and then took the rebounding ball into his arms.
Basketball, Kawada Masashi threw the ball directly to the front court, and he quickly rushed towards the front court, his movement speed was fast, and in the blink of an eye, he surpassed two Okinawa interior players, and even surpassed an Okinawa defender who returned to defend in the process of marching.
It's staggeringly fast.
This is not the first time that Masashi Kawada has shown his running speed in this game, but before, the attention of everyone in Kanagawa Prefecture was attracted by Eiji Sawakita and Kazunari Fukatsu, who held more balls, and at this time, under the reminder of Martial Arts, he noticed Masashi Kawada, only to realize that Masashi Kawada's displacement speed was so fast.
Those players in Lingnan High School had learned Kawada Masashi's ability, but everyone in Hainan and Xiangbei did not know much about Kawada Masashi's ability, and they were a little surprised to see this scene at this time.
Unlike the thin center forward in Aichi Prefecture, Masashi Kawada is quite outstanding in terms of size, and there is absolutely no way to contact Masashi Kawada against such a thing as weakness.
This also means that this center of the Mountain King is not only fast but also quite physical, but from these two aspects, he is already better than Yuzumi and Akagi.
And if you look at other aspects, everyone will find that Masashi Kawada's ability has crushed Yuzumi and Akagi in all directions.
"Masashi Kawada, a center forward who only changed to play in the second year of high school, before that, this guy played at the back."
"But the most surprising thing is that this kid is not only taller, but also his physique, which has completely kept up, and perfectly fits the center forward position."
"I had the first hints when I was in IH, and now, this guy is undoubtedly the top center player in the country in terms of physical fitness and basket skills."
"In this regard, none of our center forwards in Kanagawa Prefecture can catch up with him."
"It's also a talent in another sense!"
Coach Ooka has done a survey on this group of players in Sanno Industries, and the main center is the focus of the investigation, so he is also quite clear about Masashi Kawada's resume. When the attention of the players was on Masashi Kawada, Coach Taoka gave the players a brief description of Masashi Kawada's characteristics and resume.
Masashi Kawada's experience is quite legendary. The players in Kanagawa Prefecture were stunned when they heard Coach Taoka's words.
At that moment, there was a loud bang in the stadium.
Masashi Kawada received a pass from his teammate on the inside, and scored with a dunk under the basket. The powerful slam dunk pulled the entire basketball hoop down a little, and the visual impact brought by the violent dunk drove the audience on the court, even if many of them were local to Kanagawa Prefecture, and the audience who came to support the Kanagawa Prefecture team cheered for it.
With Masashi Kawada's score, the difference between Akita and Okinawa has also widened to 14 points, and the outcome of the game has been established at this moment.
As the game progressed, the gap in hard power between the teams became more and more prominent.
Under the basket, Masashi Kawada turned over the river and the sea, the outside line, Eiji Zebei fired frequently, and for a while, the Okinawa team, which is good at defense, was actually opened, and the inside line was also lost, and the outside line was also lost.
And the balance of victory is also completely tilted in favor of Akita Prefecture.
As the whistle blew, Akita won the game 98:70, and in the second half of the game, Goro Domoto deliberately retained the physical strength of the players and sent a rotation lineup, but even if it was a rotation, it still occupied a big advantage.
After the match between Akita Prefecture and Okinawa came to an end, the players from Kanagawa Prefecture and Kyoto also entered the stadium to the cheers of the spectators.
"Today, it's an 8-in-4 game, and if we win today's game, we're in the top four."
"Whether it's a semi-final or a final, the intensity of the game will definitely be much higher than the previous games."
"So for today's game, I'm going to send two sets of lineups to play the first half and the second half."
"Field, Sendo, Uojumi, Hanagata, Fujima!"
"The five of you, as starters, will take the lead against Kyoto."
"Akagi, Mitsui, Jinguji, Miyagi and Amu, the five of you are ready, no matter what the first half of the game looks like, the second half of the game will be taken over by a few of you."
"Now, let's warm up!"
After everyone from Kanagawa Prefecture arrived at the venue, Coach Taoka arranged the lineup for today's game while the players were changing their clothes. As for the style of play, Coach Taoka didn't say much, but the players who were named by him looked at each other and understood Coach Taoka's intentions immediately.
"Whew~ I've been stiff for so many days, and I'm finally able to play."
"Sorry friends, I'm afraid your game experience won't be good today."
"We're going to break the opponent in the first half!"
"Martial arts, I'm afraid you won't be able to have fun today."
"Hahaha!"
Shinomiya Tianye changed his clothes, picked up a basketball and walked towards the court, and as he walked, he said to Jinguji Martial Arts and the others behind him.
"Then you're going to have to come on, I really want to take it easy, but don't let us wipe your ass."
Wu Dao tightened his shoelaces and replied casually.
At this time, Shinomiya Field had already stepped into the court.
There was no one in the field, and the Kanagawa players were still changing their costumes, and Shinomiya Field was the fastest and was the first to enter the court.
"Autumn Country, Uncle Ben is here!"
Shinomiya Tianye let out a low murmur and threw the ball towards the basket with his hand, and at the same time started quickly and rushed towards the basket. And his movements instantly attracted everyone's attention, and one after another, his eyes fell on Sinomiya Tianye's body in an instant.
"Smack!" Throwing the basketball down, began to bounce back.
Shinomiya Tianye quickly came to the basket, jumped slightly, his head was directly flattened, and the next second, Shinomiya Tianye's body rotated 180 degrees in the air, his arms were bent, and he caught the basketball with his back to the basket and then pressed the ball into the basket.
"Bang dang!"
With a loud bang, the noisy stands fell silent in an instant. And everyone in Akita Prefecture, who was about to leave the venue, also stopped, staring blankly at the Shinomiya field with their backs framed.
"Kyoto!"
"Do your best to please Uncle Ben!"
