In the second half of the game between Kanagawa Prefecture and Kyoto, everyone in Shohoku completely abandoned the most familiar style of play. The team's shooting rights were divided from Jinguji Budou and Mitsui Hisashi, and were given to Miyagi Ryota and Akagi. Mu Shenyi's body.
At the beginning, Maki Shinichi was not aware of Jinguji Budo's idea. After receiving a pass from Miyagi Ryota, he would often choose to pass the ball to Jinguji Budo, allowing Jinguji Budo to lead the offense.
Although he is also the kind of big core who holds the ball, Mu Shinichi found his position immediately when he played with Jinguji Budo and placed himself in the supporting position.
Jinguji Budo's opponent is a striker who is about 185cm tall. Even though the opponent is a striker, the opponent's height is more than ten centimeters shorter than Jinguji Budo.
In Mu Shenyi's view, as long as the basketball is in Jinguji Budo's hands, facing an opponent of that level, he will be in the same position as an open man. At this point, Mu Shenyi had great faith in the strength of Jinguji martial arts.
But the strange thing is that every time he passes the ball to Jinguji Budo and allows the opponent to dominate the attack, the latter will immediately pass the ball back, giving people the feeling that the ball is hot.
And as the game progressed, Miyagi Ryota took quite a few outside shots. Many times, the person who passed the ball to him was Jinguji Budo who went to the basket to grab rebounds.
After a few times, Mu Shenyi guessed that Jinguji Martial Arts wanted to use today's opportunity to let Miyagi Ryota practice his offensive ability from the outside. He glanced at the scoreboard on the sidelines and felt that the game was a sure win. They began to cooperate. After several offensive and defensive rotations, Maki Shinichi's main passing target became Miyagi Ryota.
At this moment, Miyagi Ryota immediately became awesome.
With unlimited firepower, he shot three-pointers like crazy with the help of others. Ten minutes into the second half, his personal score reached 16 points, and his three-point shooting percentage reached an astonishing... 31%. ...
The score of the two teams has also changed from 54:23 at the beginning to 78:55 now. With the efforts of Miyagi Ryota, the point difference between the two teams has changed from 31 points at the beginning to 23 points.
Regardless of the fact that there is still a 23-point gap between the two teams, but only ten minutes into the second half, Kyoto has already scored 32 points on the Kanagawa Prefecture representative team. They spent the entire first half, playing 20 points. For many minutes, the team only scored a pitiful 23 points.
From such a comparison, you can see how poorly Kanagawa Prefecture's offense and defense performed in the second half.
However, Jinguji Budo expressed that he was very happy. He only played ten minutes in the second half and already had 11 rebounds. He was confident that he would get 20 rebounds before the end of the game to make up for his shortcomings in statistics. Make up for this~
And according to the current situation of the game, Kyoto will lose by about ten points at most by the end of the game. Not only can it save Kyoto's face, but it can also successfully fulfill Coach Taoka's requirements.
At the same time, the fans did not curse after watching the second half of Kanagawa Prefecture's game. They all felt that Kanagawa was training its troops, and it was normal for the game to be a little ugly.
At the same time, the fans also admire Coach Taoka very much. In the 8-4 game of Akizhi National Sports, Coach Taoka actually gave a first-year player so many shooting opportunities on this occasion, and the audience also recognized this player as Shohoku. High school instead of Lingnan High School.
In such a big competition, in such a crucial match, Coach Tianoka gives first-year students from outside schools this kind of experience opportunity. He is really... very good at cultivating young players.
If Xiao Zeng had played in this team, he probably wouldn't have to raise his hand every day but not be able to get the ball.
The situation of the game is also developing in the direction expected by Jinguji Martial Arts, and Miyagi Ryota, who suddenly got so many opportunities to shoot, is also excited.
The three-point long-range shots of the horseback archery were moved to the court. It was so damn good that such shots really made him score. This time, Miyagi's self-confidence was directly exploded, and the timing of his shots became more and more outrageous. There were several shots where the defender's hand was about to poke him in the face, but even so, Miyagi still forced the shot.
Fortunately, there were Jinguji Budo, Akagi, and Maki Shinichi under the basket to support Miyagi. Most of the rebounds were controllable, but some bounced far, and the three of them had nothing to do.
】
Those in Kyoto seemed to have figured out that Miyagi's shooting percentage was not good. In the second half of the second half, except for one player who was staring at Miyagi, everyone else squeezed towards the inside, trying to grab rebounds.
But Kyoto's strength at the basket is really average. Four people can't beat the three people from Kanagawa Prefecture when they enter the basket. But Budo relies on his height and jumping advantages to repeatedly perform on top of the opponent's head.
With more than two minutes left before the end of the game, Jinguji Budo's rebounds finally reached 20. After completing his small goal, he immediately missed it. On the offensive end, he didn't even go to the basket, and he couldn't stand outside. He didn't want to go to Miyagi's side to catch the ball, nor did he help Miyagi with pick-and-rolls. He just watched the big men under the basket fighting for territory.
At the end of the game, the score of the two teams reached 98:84. Kanagawa Prefecture won the game with a "slender advantage" of 15 points. Miyagi Ryota also achieved the highest scoring record in his high school basketball career today, scoring at halftime. 31. Anyone who tells this terrifying scoring data will be shocked.
"Hehehehe!"
"Well done, well done!"
At the end of the game, Coach Taoka stood on the sidelines and greeted the players who returned to the rest area with a smile. His face was full of smiles, and he was quite satisfied with Kanagawa Prefecture's poor performance in the second half.
He even patted Miyagi Ryota on the shoulder hard and gave him a few words of encouragement. Miyagi Ryota was also greatly moved by Coach Taoka's affirmation and believed that today's game was an opportunity for him to perform.
Through this game, Miyagi Ryota also realized that his shooting ability was far from enough, and he was determined to step up his shooting practice and never waste so many opportunities next time.
After one game, a win-win situation was achieved.
Kyoto saved face, Coach Taoka not only earned a small amount of fame, but also accepted a favor from Coach Kyoto. Budo got a wave of rebounds and did not consume much physical energy. Miyagi, seeing his own shortcomings, also voted I feel more relaxed and my self-confidence is much stronger.
After the game, Kanagawa Prefecture successfully secured a spot in the semi-finals. The next day, the semi-finals were held in this arena to face another semi-final team in the same group, Miyagi Prefecture.
Miyagi Prefecture is a traditionally strong county, and those who are best at fighting are also quick and easy. In this era, teams that like to play a small and fast system are often teams that lack the inside shot.
This year's Kanagawa Prefecture is very strong in every position, and all the players in the post are future stars. Facing Miyagi Prefecture, the post has an absolute advantage.
In the match against Miyagi Prefecture, Coach Taoka repeated his old tricks and sent five players from Reinan as the starters in the first half. Under the leadership of Shinomiya Nono, the first half was overwhelming and in less than ten minutes, they were defeated. The psychological defense of Miyagi Prefecture was broken. At the end of the first half, the score difference between the two teams reached 24 points.
In the second half, coach Taoka sent four players from Shohoku, plus Kazuma Takasago. Today, Budo played for a few minutes on his own in order to maintain a competitive state. However, without paying attention, the score difference between the two teams was reduced. It opened to 40 points.
Realizing that the martial arts was a little too much, he immediately restrained himself and focused his attack on Takenori Akagi and Kazuma Takasago on the inside.
I thought that the offensive abilities of these two people would give Miyagi Prefecture some opportunities to chase points, but I never wanted to face Miyagi's inside line. Akagi and Takasago teamed up = invincible...
At the end of the game, Kanagawa Prefecture won the game with an overwhelming advantage of 101:52 and successfully advanced to the finals.
After the match between Kanagawa Prefecture and Miyagi Prefecture, the next step was the match between Akita Prefecture and Niigata (xi). Niigata’s team is quite strong, with a very high level of attack and defense, and the match against Akita Prefecture was also comparable. intense.
At the end of the first half, Akita Prefecture led the opponent by five points 34:29. In the entire Akita Prefecture, Niigata was the first team to compete with Akita Prefecture to this extent.
But in the second half, Niigata's main players were exhausted and replaced several substitutes. Akita Prefecture also substituted substitutes in order to preserve the physical fitness of the main players for the finals.
But as soon as the two teams entered the second lineup, the gap in background was immediately highlighted.
Not long into the second half, Akita Prefecture widened the point difference to 11 points. Niigata's coach realized something was wrong, but with the combined efforts of the entire county, there was no way to find players who could deal with Akita, so they could only hastily adjust their tactics.
However, when the hard power of the team members is insufficient, no matter how much tactics and tactics are used, it will be of no use.
In the end, Akita Prefecture won the game with 84:60, with a score difference of 24 points, and established its qualification for the final finals.
At this point, the two teams that will participate in the finals of the Aki no Kuni Sports have been officially determined, namely Akita Prefecture and Kanagawa Prefecture.
....
Wednesday, Sunday.
"Boom!"
A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, and a few seconds later, the sound of rolling thunder reached my ears.
In the sky, raindrops fell, hitting the ground and splashing little flowers.
Autumn rain often gives people a feeling of loneliness, loneliness and sadness.
But in the Kanagawa Prefecture Gymnasium, people have no time to enjoy the peace brought by the autumn rain.
In the morning, heavy rain fell in the gray sky. The streets were sparsely populated, with not many pedestrians at all. But at this time, the Kanagawa Prefectural Gymnasium was filled with people.
"Kanagawa! Kanagawa! Kanagawa!"
"Ah↑↑↑↑Fujima! Fujima!"
The huge stadium was filled with the shouts of the audience. The stands, which could accommodate a thousand people, were packed with seats. Even the outer aisles of the stands were filled with spectators. The excitement inside the arena and the coldness outside seemed like two different worlds.
In the stadium, the players of the Kanagawa Prefecture representative team passed through the player tunnel and walked into the stadium one after another. As everyone from Kanagawa Prefecture entered the stadium, the cheers in the stands became several decibels higher.
"Coach Domoto, Akita Prefecture, please show mercy to us! Hahahaha!"
When the players from Kanagawa Prefecture entered the stadium, the players from Akita Prefecture were already changing clothes in the rest area. When Coach Taoka went to the referee's box to register, he happened to run into Coach Domoto from Akita Prefecture. Seeing this young opponent, Coach Taoka smiled and said hello.
"Coach Tianoka, stop joking."
"The Lingnan High School you led is the champion of ih. Now you are also participating in the Autumn National Sports with the main force of Lingnan."
"It's my turn to ask you to show mercy."
Goro Domoto had a smile on his face and took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with Coach Tianoka.
"Haha, I'm overly praised. When I was in IH, I had better luck!"
"but......"
"I think my luck will be just as good in Autumn Kingdom Sports!"
Coach Taoka was quite humble one second, but became sharp-edged the next second. When Domoto Goro heard this, the smile on his face faded a little, he let go of his hand, and replied calmly:
"I'm different from you, Coach Taoka. Every game of our Sanno relies on real strength!"
Coach Taoka smiled when he heard this, turned around and walked towards his half, but his voice reached the ears of Goro Domoto.
"Hey, hey, fight me, do you really have the strength?!"
...
By the time Coach Taoka returned to his rest area, the Kanagawa Prefecture team members had already changed their clothes. Before the players started to warm up, Coach Taoka clapped his hands and motioned for the team members to gather around. He announced to the team members:
"Today is the final of the Autumn National Sports Competition!"
"I have already made up my mind to use all my strength to completely defeat Akita County!"
"Listen up, it's all your strength!"
Coach Tagang looked very solemn when he said this, and the team members also felt that Coach Tagang's state today was somewhat different from the previous few days. Everyone was much more serious.
"Akagi Takenori, Hanagata Toru, Amu, Mitsui Hisashi, and...Sendō, the five of you will appear in the game as the starters!"
"On the offensive end, it revolves around the breakthroughs of Amu and Sendao. If there is a chance for Mitsui Hisashi, pass it. If there is no chance, you two will be responsible for attacking!"
"My request to you is very simple. Within ten minutes, within ten minutes, just don't let the score get wider."
After Coach Tian Gang finished speaking, Xiandao over there interjected: "Coach, what about ten minutes later?"
Coach Tian Gang was interrupted and couldn't help but give Xiandao a blank look before continuing:
"In ten minutes, it will be up to the two of them to take over the game!"
"Shinomiya Tanō, Jinguji Martial Arts, I know that with the physical abilities of the two of you, even if I let you fight for 40 minutes, it will definitely not be a problem."
"But thirty minutes is the time for both of you to give your best."
"Be prepared. After you two take the field, I want the people of Akita County to completely lose their confidence in competing for the championship!"
"Before we do it again, you five, please do your best!"
Coach Taoka took hold of Jinguji Budō and Shinomiya Tanō with two hands, one on the left and the other on the right, and gave instructions in a deep voice. Immediately, he looked at Akagi Mitsui and others with serious expressions.
"Just delaying the score...how is this enough?"
"We'll have an advantage before you two even get on the field!"
"That's right, Amu!"
The proud Mitsui Hisako didn't think that Coach Taoka was looking down on them when he said this. Instead, he felt insulted. Looking at Coach Taoka's serious expression, he said immediately.
"Hahahaha! As expected of Mitsui, whom I am optimistic about!"
"If you can do it, then do it!"
Coach Tianoka laughed out loud when he saw Mitsui Hisashi's confident look, patted Mitsui Hisashi on the shoulder and said.
After completing these arrangements, everyone in Kanagawa Prefecture also began to enter the venue to warm up.
"I didn't expect that I would actually get to play a game with you."
"I thought the two of us wouldn't be on the field at the same time."
"Hey, Martial Arts, do you want to compete?"
Shinomiya entered the court dribbling the ball and suddenly said to Budo next to him.
"Competition? What competition?" Jinguji Martial Arts was stunned when he heard this and asked in confusion.
"Here~"
"That little bald guy from Akita Prefecture, that No. 13, Eiji Sawabita."
"That guy has the kind of character that likes challenges. He will challenge whoever is stronger."
"Our game is also very simple. It just depends on who this guy is guarding at the end of the game!"
"If it's me, it means I'm better than you. If it's you... Haha, that won't happen!"
