Fujima's team's small ball play had quite good results in the first half of the game. During the halftime period, Green Wind and the players from Xiangyang High School discussed how to deal with the situation.
However, in a short period of time, these young players were unable to discuss any practical plan.
After all, the method used by Fujima and the others is the most basic, most solid, and the most difficult attack method to target. Outside shooting after continuous pick-and-rolls, there are only two ways to defend this style of play.
Either let the inside players double-team, or rely on the players' personal abilities to switch defenses in time after the opponent's pick-and-roll, and then use their excellent personal abilities to block one-on-one.
Apart from these two defenders, there is no better way to handle it.
At least, the young players from Green Wind High School and Xiangyang High School did not come up with any good solutions.
In fact, if Jinguji Budo faces such a situation, he will let people press the whole court. Whether he can defend the opponent is aside, it will consume the opponent's physical energy and thereby reduce the opponent's shooting efficiency. Not a bad way to go.
Basketball is a sport, and the players who play it are human beings.
Not everyone is like Hisashi Mitsui. The weaker his physical strength, the stronger his fighting spirit and the higher his hit rate.
The vast majority of people are ordinary people, or ordinary people with a little bit of basketball talent.
In the case of a large amount of physical energy consumption, the control of strength is reduced and the hit rate is reduced. There is absolutely no way to avoid this. If today's players feel good, the decline in hit rate will come later. If the feel is worse, the decline in hit rate will come earlier.
Why basketball in the 1990s could not develop the standard small-ball style, or why the small-ball style failed to shine in this era, is partly because of defensive rules.
Another aspect is because of the players' shooting posture.
Whether it is the hand-tested defense that is popular in this era or the two-stage shooting that players are best at, this is quite exhausting for players. Under such circumstances, if you want to rely on three-pointers against those who mainly attack the basket. The team is simply impossible.
In this era, the most valuable thing is not the three-point shooter, the most valuable thing is the "big center"!
If the 1984 draft were repeated a hundred times, the No. 1 pick would be Olajuwon, the great dreamer, not Michael Jordan, the God of Basketball.
The generation that was influenced by basketball in this era suddenly faced the small-ball style of play put forward by Kenji Fujima and others. The plan they came up with was to attack the inside and try to use the high efficiency of inside offense to meet the opponent's three-pointers.
The intermission passed quickly.
Players from both teams returned to the court again amid the referee's whistle.
In the second half of the game, the mixed coalition of Green Wind High School and Xiangyang High School failed to make any waves. Under the rain of three-pointers with high shooting percentages from Sora Kurutani and Ichiro Kamizou, they quickly lost hope of victory.
Tetsuya Naito and his team's inside advantage is not as prominent as expected. The inside line built by Uozumi Jun, Hanagata, and Nango Koichiro must be high, powerful, and high. Is there a tacit understanding or a high level of understanding?
Under such circumstances, it is not easy for the opponent to attack the basket. This results in Naito and his team's efficiency in attacking the basket being similar to Sora Kurutani's three-point shooting efficiency.
As we all know, three points is one more than two points.
Defeat becomes inevitable.
As the game between the two teams ended, the score between the two teams was fixed at 112:71, and the point difference between the two teams reached a terrifying 40+.
"The players from Green Wind High School and Xiangyang High School are obviously not weak."
"But Fujima and his team actually won the game so easily."
"It's a little beyond my expectation!"
Seeing the end of the game, Kenji Fujima walked onto the court and "captured" Tetsuya Naito into his team. Shinomiya touched his chin and said with some surprise.
In the first half of the game, Shinomiya Tano had already seen the subsequent defeat of Fujima and the others, and thought that the opponent would struggle hard in the second half and stage a battle between dragons and tigers.
Unexpectedly, they were defeated so easily by Fujima and the others. The result came so quickly that Shinomiya was not expecting it.
"They will lose. It's not a matter of strength. In terms of strength, the strength of the two teams is not that different."
"There may be some flaws in tactics, and the two players on Fujima's team have very good touch."
"That's what led to such a disparity in the score."
"Now Fujima and the others have snatched an excellent insider."
"Are we going to fight them next?"
Jinguji Budo briefly commented on the competition, and then asked Shinomiya Tanano and others.
Although their team had just experienced a game, the game against Sakuragi and the others was actually not that big of a drain. After all, martial arts was the main attack in that game, and the physical energy consumed by the teammates could be recovered quickly.
Moreover, Shinomiya Tano did not play in that game and retained 100% of its combat effectiveness. From Budo's perspective, their team would be able to regain its combat effectiveness by the afternoon.
"Fujima and the others?"
"Wait a minute, through this game I found that there may be many capable players that have yet to be discovered."
"I think we can take our time and look at a few more groups of players."
"And if we want to play against each other, I would still prefer to play against your old teammates from Xiangbei."
"Here, bring that cold-faced boy here."
"He can hold the ball, attack the basket, and can also provide support. He is a relatively versatile player."
As Shinomiya spoke, he turned his head and looked at Rukawa Kaede, who was sitting on the sidelines watching the game with his teammates, and said with a smile.
"Yeah! That's a good idea."
Jinguji Budo heard this and nodded in approval. I didn't feel guilty at all for "catching a sheep to collect its wool".
There is no friendship to speak of in the Autumn National Sports Trials. What they have to do is defeat their opponents and form a team they think is the strongest!
In the basketball court, the players on both sides of the game changed one after another. Among these games, there were some one-sided games and some extremely intense games.
After a morning of games, Shinomiya Tano and the others really found a few talented players, but their performance on the court was average. It seemed that they were all the kind who had just played for a short time. player of.
Although these people have outstanding talents, Jinguji Martial Arts and the others are not coaches. What they want is immediate combat ability that can support their team on the court, so they have no idea about these players or martial arts.
However, the coaches on the sidelines were all smiling as the game progressed. Their purpose is different from that of Martial Arts. For them, selecting Qiuzhiguosi players is just incidental. Their main purpose is to discover players with talent and potential.
Firstly, to lay the foundation for the country's echelon construction, and secondly to find outstanding players for his own university's basketball team.
The morning game still made the coaches feel that they had gained a lot, and their efforts during this period were not in vain.
In the afternoon, as the number of teams decreased, the teams with outstanding players had basically played one round of games, so the competition among the teams became more and more intense.
This is also related to a rule added by Coach Taoka, that is, a team that has participated in a game that day is qualified to reject the opponent's challenge, but it can initiate a challenge.
This is also to prevent strong teams from being turned around, causing an already excellent team to be disintegrated by everyone.
The beneficiaries are actually winning teams like Jinguji Budo.
The team that won the game began to wait and see, while the team that lost the game began to look for the target player anxiously.
This is a game where the strong are always strong and the weak are always weak.
In the end, there is only one team that can become the national sports representative team of Qiu!
In the afternoon game, Jinguji Budo and his team did not take any more shots. On the contrary, Xiangbei High School, which had just lost a game in the morning, wanted to challenge the Green Wind-Xiangyang mixed team, which had also lost a game in the afternoon.
The latter also readily accepted the challenge.
Both teams were losers after playing a game in the morning. Both teams only had 5 people and were in urgent need of reinforcements. After Xiangbei lost Sakuragi Hanamichi, he fell in love with the two-meter-tall black brother from Green Wind High School.
The Green Wind-Shoyo mixed team is interested in Rukawa Kaede from the Shohoku team.
In the game against Fujima and the others, they realized that they were in urgent need of a wave of outside reinforcements to limit their opponents' outside players, among so many players. Except for the players on the martial arts team, Rukawa Kaede, the quasi-ace of Shohoku High School, naturally attracted their attention.
The two teams briefly weighed the strength of their teams, and both felt that their teams had a chance to win. Not only was there a chance, it was also a big chance!
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the game between Xiangbei High School and the Green Wind-Xiangyang mixed team started.
Unlike Fujima and the others who easily defeated their opponents, in this game, Shohoku High School actually had a very difficult time.
Shohoku High School, which has lost Sakuragi Hanamichi, only has one "big black pillar" in Takenori Akagi inside. On the other hand, the opponent has two.
This also caused the inside line of Shohoku High School to miss directly, and the two black brothers did whatever they wanted in the sky above Shohoku High School.
That is to say, Rukawa Kaede can support the inside from time to time, but even with his help, Shohoku's inside is still penetrated.
However, Shohoku High School is not completely without advantages. The perimeter built by Rukawa Kaede, Miyagi Ryota, Kiyota, Katsumi and others is quite powerful.
Katsumi Ichiro's three-point shooting ability is not much inferior to Kamizou Ichiro. Together with Rukawa Kaede, they support the outside offense.
The attacks of Ryota Miyagi and Nobunaga Kiyota also frequently attracted the black brother inside to double-team, giving Takenori Akagi a good space to play.
This game is all about attacking each other.
The comparison is, whose offensive efficiency is higher.
This game was extremely close in the first half. The maximum point difference between the two teams was only 5 points.
In the second half, there was no sign of a winner in a short period of time.
However, in the first half, Miyagi Ryota and others frequently attacked the basket, leaving a big hole for their opponents. A black brother guarding the inside received three fouls in the first half.
Not long after the start of the second half, the black brother received his fourth foul in order to defend Rukawa Kaede who broke through.
This foul completely detonated the uneasiness within the team.
There was no obvious bias in the outcome of the two teams until this moment.
Brother Hei, who had received four fouls, no longer dared to contribute on the defensive end. He was afraid that he would accidentally receive five fouls and be sent off. And their team had no substitute players at all. Once he was sent off, their team would face 4v5 situation.
Can an insider who dares not make any moves still be a qualified insider?
As the opponent received four fouls, Takenori Akagi broke out of the quagmire inside and began to exert force, frequently winning key rebounds for the team.
With his efforts, Xiangbei High School gradually opened up the score between the two teams, showing a winning streak.
In the end, Xiangbei High School defeated the opponent 91:80 with an eleven-point difference, and snatched the two-meter-tall black brother from the opponent's hands.
At this point, Shohoku High School returned to a 6-man team, and the inside weakness caused by the loss of Sakuragi Hanamichi was successfully made up for.
After the game in Xiangbei, several more games were played one after another. However, he didn’t pay too much attention to martial arts in the subsequent competition, and returned to the hotel gym to do his own exercises.
The coaching staff didn't care about Wu Dao's behavior. If it were someone else, they might ask him to stay on the field and act as a group with others.
But if you are in Jinguji Martial Arts, you can still have some "privileges". There is no way, no matter where you are, strength is the confidence to speak.
In the evening, the players who had finished the day's game returned to the hotel one after another. Even the players who were originally training in the mountains also checked into the beachfront hotel together.
This made the originally deserted hotel become a little more lively.
During dinner in the evening, a group of team members were eating in the cafeteria while discussing how to play tomorrow's game and which players to look for. The huge cafeteria was divided into small groups.
Budo and Shinomiya Tano sat together, eating and chatting about whether there were any outstanding players to choose from in the afternoon.
After chatting for a long time, Wu Dao found that there were only a few players worthy of being selected by his team in the end, and they did not have the kind of outstanding immediate combat ability.
It seems that the first few rounds of selection organized by Coach Tianoka have really achieved good results, and the masters have basically been selected.
Knowing this news, what Martial Arts and the others have to do next is much simpler. Just keep challenging those from Shohoku High School and Ryonan High School who are building up strength.
Just select the already outstanding players back to the team again!
Coach Taoka probably didn’t expect that when Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tano formed a team, it would develop into such a result.
only.
Early the next morning, Coach Taoka announced that the first game would be between Shohoku High School and Lingnan.
It turned out that the night before, the two teams found Coach Tianoka by coincidence, and both wanted to include the other team as their challenge opponents for the next day.
It seems that both teams have realized that the top players have gathered together. If they want to have the capital to challenge Jinguji Budo and the others, they must seize suitable players from the other side.
Shohoku is interested in Fujima, and Fujima and the others are interested in Kaede Rukawa, who has excellent ball-holding ability!
