Fifteen minutes into the second half, Sanno Industrial could not withstand the tremendous pressure from Shohoku High School and called their last timeout of the game.
The players from both sides returned to their respective rest areas amid the cheers of the audience. As soon as Jinguji Martial Arts came out, the team members gathered in the center. Hisashi Mitsui happily handed Jinguji Martial Arts towels and water bottles, and praised:
"Martial arts, you are doing well, keep up the good work!"
"Sanno Industries will soon be unable to withstand it. With so many people defending you, you are forced to break through and score."
"It won't be long before their own morale is lost."
Mitsui Hisashi's judgment of the situation was very accurate. In fact, at this point in the game, Sanno Industries only has one string left. This pause is their last chance to adjust.
If Sanno Industries cannot produce tactical results and stabilize the game after returning from the timeout, then they will usher in a complete collapse.
"Well, I don't intend to give them another chance."
"I have lost interest in them. I thought that the Mountain King would have some unexpected tactics, but I didn't expect that that's all."
Budo opened the bottle cap, took a sip of water, rinsed his mouth, and spit it into the trash can.
He turned to look at the Sanwang rest area not far away, with a smile on his face.
During the timeout, Coach Anzai did not make any tactical arrangements. He simply encouraged Sakuragi and others, and then sat on the seat with the presence of the old man. I’m not worried about the next game at all.
When the Xiangbei players saw such a big lead, they all acted very relaxed. The atmosphere in the entire Xiangbei rest area was cheerful.
On the other hand, in the Sanno Industrial Rest Area, the team members all gathered around Goro Domoto without saying a word, and the atmosphere was solemn.
Goro Domoto held a tactical board in his hand and was quickly arranging Sanno's offensive and defensive tactics.
"Offensively, we have been playing very well. Although the red-haired guy from Xiangbei blocked a few of our attacks by chance, overall, our tactics are fine."
"Avoiding the defense of Jinguji Budo on the outside, attack around Masashi Kawada and Mikio Kawada on the inside."
"Shohoku High School can't stop our attack."
"On this basis, Matsumoto, you have to take on some offensive tasks. Simply relying on inside offense is too monotonous. You have to do some singles with the ball to enrich the team's offense."
"The pressure on you from the first grade in Shohoku shouldn't be that great! Why are you so inactive?!"
Goro Domoto glared at Minoru Matsumoto as he spoke, and then continued toward the team members:
"The biggest problem now is our defense."
"The personal strength of Jinguji Martial Arts is very strong, very strong!"
"I think you have all experienced this firsthand."
"Our defensive strategy needs to be slightly changed. Double-teaming by two or three people may not be able to stop him holding the ball."
"Zawakita, Kawada Masashi, you two are keeping an eye on Jinguji Budo the whole time. No matter if he is in the frontcourt or in the backcourt, whether he has the ball or not, you don't have to worry about the others!"
"Pay attention, it's best to prevent him from getting the ball. Once you let him get the ball, he may break through your defense."
Goro Domoto spoke very fast, and the Sanno players surrounding him listened carefully and nodded their heads. Speaking of this, Domoto Goro's eyes fell on Fukatsu Kazunari and continued:
"Fukatsu, your defense needs to make some adjustments. When defending Miyagi Ryota, you should deliberately let some water go at the appropriate time."
"Don't guard too hard, let him have a gap to break through. What you have to do is to give him space to shoot after he breaks through, and then interfere when he shoots."
"With defense like yours, Miyagi Ryota won't even take a shot. If he doesn't take a shot, he will find ways to pass the ball to the open space or Jinguji Budo. This is not necessarily a good thing for us Sanno!"
"think
How to make him shoot, just put some pressure on him when he shoots! "
"Our chance of counterattack depends on him!"
When Goro Domoto made the plan, he focused on Miyagi Ryota, hoping to use Miyagi Ryota as a breakthrough to find the possibility of Sanno Industries' victory.
Moreover, Domoto's plan was very tricky. He didn't let his players use the pick-and-roll to create singles opportunities when Sanno was attacking, and seize Miyagi's defensive breakthrough. Instead, they wanted to take advantage of Miyagi's instability in shooting and deliberately create some strong shooting opportunities for Miyagi Ryota.
When the Sanno players heard Domoto Goro's plan, they were all stunned. This was the first time they had heard of this type of play. Did the defense let the water go on purpose? Play with water? !
Other teams were afraid that their players would make some mistakes in defense, but Goro Domoto asked his players to deliberately make some mistakes to give the opponent a chance.
However, the Sanno team members were not fools, and they quickly understood what Goro Domoto meant.
Let Miyagi Ryota, whose shooting is inconsistent, shoot more. On the other hand, wouldn't it weaken Shohoku High School's offense? !
"If our plan goes smoothly, there will definitely be a lot of rebounding opportunities."
"Kawada Mikio, Matsumoto, you two need to focus more on rebounding."
"When Shohoku is attacking, even if Jinguji Budo doesn't have the chance to hold the ball, they will find ways to pull Kawada and Sawehita out of the paint, denying them a chance to support the inside."
"At this time, it's up to you to protect the rebounds!"
"Also, Fukatsu, the same goes for you. You will also have the opportunity to support the inside and help your teammates control rebounds!"
At this point, Goro Domoto's plan was fully revealed. According to Goro Domoto's assumptions, if his plan works, it will only take 10 rounds of attack and defense at most, and the situation will change dramatically. Within 3 minutes, they, the king of the mountain, may complete the reversal.
"Cheer up, the game is far from over yet!"
"Don't give up hope of victory, we still have a chance."
Thinking of this, Goro Domoto's voice became louder and he shouted to the team members.
"oh!
! "Although Domoto's plan cannot be said to be very thorough, all the Sanno players felt that Coach Domoto's plan was very feasible.
The team members just deduced it in their minds, and everyone became excited. Sanno Industrial's momentum became high.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
Mitsui Hisashi beat him into silence, and Sanno's three people, Kawada Masashi, Sawabita Eiji, and Kawada Mikio, were so conspicuous that even Fukatsu ignored Matsumoto's existence.
In addition, Matsumoto Minoru himself has a dull character, so that he was still ignored in the second half.
It wasn't until Goro Domoto reminded him that Kazunari Fukatsu remembered that there was such a scorer in their team. Minoru Matsumoto is also an excellent player who can hold the ball in singles and can take on the important task of breaking through!
Kazuki Fukatsu suddenly realized. After dribbling continuously, he pushed the ball with his left hand and suddenly passed the ball to Minoru Matsumoto in the corner on the left.
Matsumoto took the ball, and Katsumi Ichiro quickly moved forward, trying to put some defensive pressure on the opponent. If Matsumoto had faced his defense before, his first choice would have been to pass to Masashi Kawada on the inside, but this time, Minoru Matsumoto did not choose to pass the ball at the first opportunity.
"My opponent has changed..."
"I have forgotten that my opponent has changed..."
Minoru Matsumoto's eyes were firm. The moment Katsumi Ichiro came up to defend, he dribbled the ball from his hip, and his right hand changed into a ball protector, directly touching Katsumi Ichiro's body. At the same time, he accelerated the breakthrough with the ball, dropped the ball with his left hand, and rushed towards his left side. .
"!"
Matsumoto Minoru's sudden breakthrough surprised Katsumi Ichiro, but he did not hesitate in his actions and quickly caught up with Matsumoto. He stretched out his hand to cover Matsumoto Minoru's face.
Just when Matsumoto broke through to the middle distance, his body suddenly paused, quickly changed direction, pulled back, and then instantly changed direction to break through. At this moment, Katsumi Ichiro, who needed to readjust his defensive position, was thrown away and watched Matsumoto break through to the inside.
Even without slowing down and changing direction, Minoru Matsumoto's body coordination is also quite strong!
Sakuragi and Nango under the basket did not expect that Matsumoto Minoru, who was like an invisible man on the offensive end, would actually hold the ball and break through. There was no time to cover up the defense and he watched Matsumoto score a layup.
As the basketball hit the net, the Sanno Industrial scoreboard jumped, adding two points.
"Well done! Matsumoto!"
"Well done, Matsumoto-senpai!"
The Sanwang substitutes on the sidelines cheered loudly when they saw the players on the field scoring.
Sakuragi and Nanxiang looked at each other under the basket and invariably blamed each other.
"Bleaching Monkey, are you blind? Didn't you notice the opponent's breakthrough? Why didn't you go up to defend?"
"Huh??? Red-haired monkey, what stupid things are you talking about? Aren't you closer?"
"Hmph, I have to guard that ape-man, how can I leave the inside so easily!"
"Huh? What are you talking about? If you go and take your place, I will take your place."
"No...you can't beat that ape-man, it takes a long time!"
The two were quarreling with each other, and even after Nanxiang sent the ball and went to the frontcourt with Sakuragi, the two were still blaming each other. When he passed by Katsumi Ichiro, he didn't even look at Katsumi Ichiro, as if this matter had nothing to do with Katsumi.
Although neither Sakuragi nor Nango blamed Katsumi Ichiro, this attitude of disregard was the most irritating.
Katsumi Ichiro, who ran towards the frontcourt, stared at Matsumoto Minoru. If eyes could kill, then Matsumoto Minoru would have died countless times at this moment.
"Don't worry, let's play it slow and win the first goal!"
Miyagi Ryota dribbled the ball toward the frontcourt while observing Sanno's defense.
Miyagi noticed that there were two people guarding Jinguji Budo, and Jinguji Budo did not continue to stand there waiting for the ball. Instead, he started running, but for a while, there was no one on Jinguji Budo's side. Good catch opportunity.
Miyagi's eyes moved towards Sakuragi. At this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi once again stood in the middle distance, in an empty position. Just when Miyagi was about to pass the ball, he discovered that Kazunari Fukatsu was positioned very inside defensively.
There was a meter and a half gap between the two. When Fukatsu was defending, he kept glancing at Sakuragi not far behind him. His intention to defend was very obvious!
"Sanwang, are you looking down on me?!"
"Me too, I have the ability to score!"
Miyagi Ryota was close to the three-point line, suddenly put the ball together and looked at the basket, paused slightly, and after a slight adjustment, he shot.
At the moment when Miyagi shot, Fukatsu rushed forward fiercely. Although Fukatsu knew that it was impossible to block the shot with his own bounce, he was still impressive at this time.
When Miyagi Ryota was shooting, he was inevitably affected by the opponent's fierce defensive posture, and the force of his shot was a little off.
"Dang~" Miyagi's three-pointer was interfered by Fukatsu and went straight out of the frame.
"Rebound!" Miyagi whispered and reminded. At this moment, Kazunari Fukatsu had already rushed into the paint. Although he couldn't squeeze into the basket, Fukatsu's arrival still caught Sakuragi's attention, and he gave priority to Fukatsu when he stood.
The basketball started to fall. It was very bad luck. The landing point was where Mikio Kawada was. Nango Koichiro saw clearly where the basketball landed, but no matter how hard he pushed Mikio Kawada, he could not push the opponent. He could only watch as Mikio Kawada kept the ball in his arms.
"Hey hey hey!"
"Success!"
Mikio Kawada threw the ball to Fukatsu with a smile, intending to let Fukatsu organize a counterattack. However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred, and a tall figure suddenly jumped out from Fukatsu Kazunari's side and intercepted the basketball with one hand.
The next second, Fukatsu Kazunari only saw a red figure who dribbled the ball and quickly rose into the air. He grabbed the ball in mid-air and poured the ball into the basket with a loud noise.
Looking up, Fukatsu Kazunari saw that familiar figure:
"Jinguji Martial Arts?!
! "
"Why is he here?!"
At this time, Jinguji Martial Arts grabbed the basket with one hand and shook slightly. After stabilizing his body a little, Martial Arts fell back to the ground. He looked at Kazunari Fukatsu who looked astonished and grinned:
"Why am I here?"
"Of course it's for rebounding!"
