No one expected that the players from Lingnan High School would be the first to lose points in the match against Xiangbei.
Akagi Takenori's powerful basket Uozumi succeeded in a layup, which immediately caused the Lingnan students watching the game to boo. Takenori Akagi, who scored, also seemed extremely excited. He beat his chest and roared to vent his emotions before turning around and starting to return to the field to defend.
When Akagi joined the martial arts on the outside, the two laughed and fist-bumped in celebration.
"Well done, Akagi."
"Beautifully taught martial arts."
Takenori Akagi praised Takenori Akagi for his goal just now, and Takenori Akagi praised Takenori Takenori's beautiful pass. This kind of cooperation was quite rare in the former Shohoku High School. In high-intensity games, Budo would hardly pass the ball to Akagi.
"The first attack in Shohoku was actually carried out by Takenori Akagi. This is really a bit surprising!"
"That Akagi, how could he score on Uozumi so easily..."
"How about... also changing our playing style?"
Lingnan High School served from the bottom line. Shinomiya ran towards the front court and distracted some of his attention to Takenori Akagi. He looked at Akagi up and down and thought to himself.
The playing style of Xiangbei High School is actually not much different from that of Lingnan High School. The core scorers occupy the vast majority of the entire team's shot rights. Note, they are shot rights.
Lingnan has played against Shohoku before, and Shinomiya's impression of Takenori Akagi is that he is a blue-collar player with good height. But in Shohoku's attack just now, Jinguji Budo actually chose to distribute the ball from the most comfortable shooting position. This actually means that Takenori Akagi's status in the team is different from before.
Although it was only one goal, Shinomiya Tano immediately caught the changes in Shohoku, and at the same time, he began to think about corresponding countermeasures.
Before Shinomiya Tōno could make a decision, Toru Hanagata had already sent the ball out in the backcourt. Sendō, who was in control of the ball, took the ball and landed at the back of the team and advanced slowly. Not long after, everyone in Lingnan had entered the frontcourt, and Sendō also The ball has crossed the center line.
Xiangbei's defense used man-to-man. After all, it was a practice match. Let's use man-to-man to test the depth of the opponent. After the national competition, the two teams have not played against each other for a while. Let's take a look at Lingnan's offensive end. What changes will happen after enabling the new strategy of "Point Guard Immortal Way"?
Mitsui Hisashi is man-to-man defender for Sendō. The second-year Mitsui Hisashi is similar in height to the first-year Sendō, and they are not much different in stature. In a one-on-one situation, it is not easy for Sendō to defeat the experienced Mitsui Hisashi alone.
Sendō himself obviously knew this, so he had no intention of starting fast when advancing with the ball. As long as Mitsui Hisashi's defense was not too oppressive, he did not show too much desire to attack. Mitsui Shou was also a little wary of Xiandao's speed, so when he was defending, he kept a distance of thirty or forty centimeters from Xiandao, half a step away.
When Lingnan High School saw Xiandao's dribbling stalled, their formation quickly changed.
Kenji Fujima on one side of the arc quickly ran towards Sendō at the top of the arc. At the same time, Shinomiya Tano, who was in a symmetrical position, chose to go down and cut inside. Opposite Fujima, Miyagi Ryota was led to the top of the arc by Fujima, and Jinguji Budo was forced to follow Shinomiya Tano into the inside lane because of Shinomiya Tano's movements.
Sendō Akira and Fujima Kenji's positions were intertwined at the top of the arc. Sendō Akira passed the ball to Fujima's hands. While releasing the ball, Sendō Akira stretched out his arms and used his body to catch up. Miyagi and Hisashi Mitsui trying to block the ball.
"Snapped!"
After catching the ball one step outside the three-point line, Fujima quickly turned around to face the frame. The next second, he actually shot a jumper directly from that position.
"Uh-huh!"
Under the surprised gazes of Miyagi and Mitsui Hisashi, the basketball flew out of Fujima's hands, passed over everyone's heads, and plunged into the net with a crisp sound.
When the basketball hit the net, Jinguji Budo happened to chase Shinomiya into the basket. Looking at the basketball falling from the net, Budo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
This was the 1990s, and Lingnan High School had plenty of offensive time. How about leaving players like Shinomiya who attack the basket unused, to play three-pointers? Their Lingnan is not Xiangbei. When did their offensive concept become like this?
Lingnan's ace and Xiangbei's ace are two completely different offensive styles, and the ace's offensive style often affects the team's style. Normally, Lingnan's attack on the basket for two points or a strong breakout in the mid-range are both. It's normal. Three-pointers are often not the optimal solution for Lingnan's offense.
"ohhhhhh!!! Fujima! Fujima!"
Without giving everyone in Shobei a long chance to react, Fujima succeeded in attacking and suddenly ignited the audience that seemed silent just now. The Lingnan students all found their backbone at this moment and cheered for Fujima. The sound of cheering filled the entire arena.
Lingnan retreated quickly after scoring the goal. Although everyone in Xiangbei did not expect Lingnan's three-pointer, everyone had an expectation of Fujima's ability and quickly adjusted their mentality and devoted themselves to the attack.
Miyagi Ryota was still holding the ball, and Lingnan's defensive pressure was not strong. Miyagi's dribbling of the ball into the frontcourt was quite smooth. However, after entering the frontcourt, Kenji Fujima's defense came up with pressure. Miyagi's lateral pass could still remain unobstructed under such defense, but it was extremely difficult to pass the ball inward.
At this time, Jinguji Budo was standing in the middle distance on the wing. He originally wanted to stand here and get a position to catch the ball, but Budo also noticed that Miyagi seemed to be struggling, and immediately trotted back to the three-point line. Outside, he trotted towards Miyagi along the arc to ask for the ball.
Connecting the inside and outside is not easy for Miyagi at this stage. It will take him some time to let the ball break through Fujima, but Budo does not want to wait passively.
As Budo returned to the three-point line, the basketball flew out of Miyagi Ryota's hands at the right time and passed sideways to Budo's hands. Regarding Miyagi's horizontal transmission, Fujima has no intention of setting up defenses, because no matter how horizontally the ball is passed, the basketball is on the outside, and Fujima can accept this.
The basketball flew out and came into the hands of Jinguji Budo. At this time, Jinguji Budo stood outside the 45° three-point line, grabbing the ball at his waist with one hand. While catching the ball, Budo also adjusted his body position and frame.
As soon as the basketball was in hand, Budo immediately changed his posture, bent down to sweep the ball, and tapped his right foot laterally. A simple test step failed to mobilize Shinomiya's defensive focus. Jinguji Budo suddenly straightened up and put the ball in front of his chest. , looking towards the basket.
However, Budo's action this time successfully attracted Shinomiya's attention. The latter immediately raised his center of gravity and took a step forward. At the same time that he made a move, Jinguji Budo's side dropped the ball and broke through. Short, he quickly crossed the Shinomiya fields.
"What a sharp breakthrough! It actually passed through the Shinomiya field!"
The Lingnan students watching the game all around exclaimed, and everyone in Hainan looked condensed when they saw this scene. Coach Tian Gang on the sidelines rubbed his chin, his eyes full of amazement.
In the court, Toru Hanagata on the inside moved quickly. When Jinguji Martial Arts broke through, he made quick movements and ran towards Martial Arts. On the Shohoku side, Takenori Akagi didn't stand stupidly under the basket. When he saw Hanako's figure, he quickly moved up and pushed his body behind Hanako.
If Hanagata is broken through by martial arts, then Hanagata will be blocked by Akagi immediately, and there will be no possibility of pursuing martial arts. At that time, Uozumi Jun will face the attack of martial arts. What will be the result? Akagi has already thought about it. Had an idea.
"Pah! Pah!"
Jinguji Budo's breakthrough speed was very fast. After passing Shinomiya Fields, it only took two dribbles to quickly approach Hanagata's defense. Approaching the flower shape, Martial Arts paused in his steps. As he combined the ball, his whole movement slowed down, and his arms swung with the ball in a strange rhythm.
With a simple European step, Jinguji Budo easily broke through Hanagata's defense, easily cut into the basket and succeeded with a pick-up basket. Although Jun Uozumi, who was defending from behind, roared very loudly when defending, he could not stop Jinguji Budo's attack at all.
As the basketball hit the net, Xiangbei High School regained the lead. Although the lead was only a pitiful point, this was something Hainan had never done.
"Beautiful, martial arts!"
"Well done, slowly opening up the score like this!"
Mitsui Hisashi and Akagi Takenori high-fived Martial Arts in celebration, and everyone in Shobei retreated quickly. Shinomiya touched his hair in embarrassment and said sorry to his teammates.
Jinguji Martial Arts has a strong ability to seize opportunities, and Shinomiya Tano is also somewhat unpredictable. In a one-on-one environment, Jinguji Martial Arts techniques are incomprehensible.
"No matter how many times I see the breakthrough techniques of Jinguji Martial Arts, I still think they are awesome!"
"He is completely different from Tian Ye. Tian Tian has a terrifying physical quality that can overwhelm his peers, which makes his breakthrough unstoppable."
"Jinguji Budo's offense is more based on his footwork and rhythm changes in shooting. That kind of shooting fake action at the three-point line does not need to be defended by another person, but if it is Jinguji Temple martial arts, but there must be movement."
"With such height and such agility and flexibility, this guy from Xiangbei is really scary!"
"Aki no Kokutai, with him and Tanano teaming up, I simply can't think of any team that can withstand our Kanagawa Prefecture!"
Taoka Shigeru turned his head and glanced at the scoreboard. While secretly admiring in his heart, he couldn't help but reveal a bright smile on his face. When he thinks that he will coach two of the strongest high school students in the country at the same time in the Qiuzhi National Sports Arena, Coach Taoka's heart beats faster and he is extremely excited.
In the court, the game between Shohoku and Lingnan is still going on. Lingnan High School, which has adjusted its personnel positions, showed a terrifying offensive power. Akira Sendō, who was placed at the point guard position, performed well. Basketball can be said to be about passing the ball. Although Mitsui Hisashi's defense can limit Sendō's breakthroughs and shooting, Mitsui Hisashi has no way to deal with Sendō's passes.
With a point guard like Sendao as a link-up, Lingnan High School's offense was very smooth. Xiangbei High School's man-to-man defense had no defensive effect at all. The defense was easily penetrated by Lingnan. The success rate of Lingnan High School's offense Abnormally high.
As for Shohoku High School, the offensive end completely revolves around Jinguji Martial Arts. Although Martial Arts mobilizes Takenori Akagi and Hisashi Mitsui during the offense, reducing the number of shots it takes, but compared to the stable scoring of Lingnan High School Generally speaking, Xiangbei's several shots were relatively reluctant.
Akagi under the basket has the ability to overpower Uozumi, but Uozumi was also able to successfully defend against Akagi's few goals. Although Mitsui Hisashi was able to compete for mobile phone opportunities in front of Sendō, Sendō's defense also had an interference effect. The same is true for Jinguji Martial Arts. Although his offensive efficiency has reached a terrifying 70%, misses are inevitable.
This keeps the overall offensive success rate of Xianghoku High School at around 50%.
At this time, rebounding control becomes the key to a team's victory. If Xiangbei's basket strength is strong enough, relying on its rebounding ability and its 50% offensive efficiency can compete with Lingnan High School. But the bad thing is that Xiangbei's basketball strength is not as good as that of Lingnan High School.
With Akagi Takenori and Chiba Oishi, they are simply not enough to deal with the basket lineup of Uozumi Jun and Hanagata Tohru. Reinan's Shinomiya Takino and Sendō also know the importance of rebounding, and they also support the basket from time to time during defense. .
On the Shohoku side, Budo often has no way to appear under the basket immediately because he has to connect with the team. Hisashi Mitsui rarely has the opportunity to support the basket due to his positional attributes on the offensive end.
One went off the other, Xiangbei's rebounds were completely lost, and the point difference between the two teams began to slowly widen as the game progressed.
Although this process was slow, when the game reached 27 minutes, the point difference between Xiangbei High School and Lingnan finally exceeded 15 points. This practice match between the two teams was also stopped by Coach Tianoka.
Not counting rest time, Lingnan High School and Xiangbei played for 27 minutes. The score between the two teams also stayed at 57:41. Lingnan High School defeated Xiangbei by 16 points.
On Shohoku's side, Takenori Akagi performed well on the offensive end, scoring 12 points and 7 rebounds. Budo's personal performance was relatively regular, scoring 14 points and 6 assists. Hisaya Mitsui scored in double figures, with 11 points and 3 assists. The three of them took the lead. Most of the team's points.
At Ryonan High School, Jun Uozumi scored 8 points and 11 rebounds, Toru Hanagata scored 7 points and 5 rebounds, Kenji Fujima scored in double figures, scoring a team-high 21 points in 27 minutes, and Shinomiya Tanano played casually and scored 13 points. , although Xiandao didn't score many points, they had 10 assists, which was quite comprehensive.
After one game, all members of Lingnan High School blossomed, and everyone's performance was remarkable. On the Shohoku side, Budo and Hisashi Mitsui performed steadily, Akagi performed brilliantly, but Chiba Oishi was somewhat invisible on the offensive end, and Miyagi's performance on both offense and defense was ordinary.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Shobei is worse than Lingnan in the power forward and point guard positions, and Miyagi Ryota and Chiba Oishi are also aware of this.
The method to make up for Shohoku High School's weaknesses is actually quite simple. Let Hainan's Makinichi and Takasago replace Shohoku's Chiba and Miyagi. In this way, the team's strength will be greatly improved, and it will truly have the ability to compete with Lingnan High School. Competitive capital.
Coach Tianoka has a thorough understanding of this, but... he will not talk about it. Because this will hurt the players' self-esteem, even if Xiangbei is not his own player, he will not interfere with the players' free formation of teams as a coach.
"After Xiangbei, I think no one will want to challenge our Lingnan players anymore!"
"My rules are like this. As long as you can win, you can replace the people in the starting lineup. But if you can't win, then I'm sorry, you will be the substitutes!"
"After that, the training camp of Qiu Zhiguo Sports will be centered around the starting players. All the rest of you are just puzzle pieces of the starting lineup!"
"In the following days, I hope you can show your value and get a stable rotation position! Of course, the challenge will always be open. You are welcome to form a team freely and challenge the starting Lingnan players!"
"Now, everyone needs to rest for 10 minutes, and then let's start today's training!"
Coach Taoka gave a brief lecture after the game between Lingnan and Shohoku. After establishing the starting position of the Lingnan players, he stimulated the other young players with his words. It is conceivable that after his words, the other players will Try your best to express yourself in training in order to get a chance to play in the Autumn National Sports Competition.
Capable players will also spontaneously form a team in order to defeat Lingnan and replace someone from the starting lineup.
They are all young players and all have ambitions.
The first day of training was not rigorous. After two practice matches, coach Tian Gang arranged basic physical training. The standards were based on their usual training standards in Lingnan.
But even with this not-so-rigorous physical training, quite a few of the players who came to participate in the Autumn National Sports couldn't bear it.
