However, compared with the senior players, the freshmen who have not undergone high-intensity training are obviously not as strong as the senior players. Fortunately, this intra-team training match only lasted 20 minutes, otherwise the freshmen team would not be able to persist.
Even so, with the last three minutes of the game, except for Uozumi and Ikegami, the state of the other three freshmen was obviously affected.
“Everyone must hold on, as long as we hold on to our advantage, the final victory will be ours.
Think about it, on the first day we joined the team, we defeated the Laosheng team in a down-and-out game. This may very well create history for our Lingnan team. "
Seeing that his teammates were starting to slack off, Uozumi took the initiative to step up and boost morale.
As for whether the Lingnan team had ever had a freshman team counterattack an old student team before, Yuzhu didn't know, but he felt that there was a high probability that it hadn't happened.
At the thought of making history, the freshmen team players became excited again, as if an invisible force was injected into their bodies, allowing them to temporarily forget their fatigue.
Ikegami pestered Yusaku Ozawa, and so did his teammates, dragging their tired pace to keep up with their opponents.
For a time, the senior players had no chance to run.
Matsushita Xujian had to break through forcefully. His explosive power was very strong and he broke in all of a sudden.
The passerby point guard tried his best to interfere, but his confrontation was not as good as Matsushita Asahi Ken, and his speed was not as good. Matsushita Asahi Ken successfully broke through.
At the moment when the passerby small forward was attracted to help defend, Asahi Ken Matsushita immediately passed the ball to the open Sasaki Oribe.
Sasaki Oribe received the basketball and subconsciously jumped to shoot.
At the critical moment, Yuzhu rushed forward and hit a bloody blow.
Just when the basketball was about to cross the baseline, Ozawa Yusaku flew to save the ball and passed the ball to Da Kusuma under the basket.
Because it was too hasty, the ball was not passed comfortably, so Da Nan had to adjust it a bit in order to dunk.
But when he jumped up, Uozumi appeared behind him. He also jumped up and hit a nail board.
Danan Gujian was hit and staggered to the ground. If he hadn't been holding on to the basketball stand, he would have been knocked to the ground.
After grabbing the rebound, Uozumi saw Ikegami sprinting and hurriedly threw the ball away.
Due to saving the ball, Ozawa Yusaku had not yet returned to his position, which gave Ikegami a chance for a fast break.
"not good!"
Matsushita Asahi Ken hurriedly chased after him. He was faster than Ikegami. Taking advantage of the gap between Ikegami's ball, he finally caught up and reached out to steal it.
Using his strong body, Ikegami endured the harassment of Matsushita Asahi Ken and forced a three-step layup.
Huh~
Matsushita Asahi Ken is too short and too light. He is no match for Ikegami in confrontation, so his layup was not interfered with much.
"here you go!"
Uozumi raised his right hand and patted Ikegami who was returning to defense.
As a result, the score was back to five points, but there was only one minute left in the game.
The senior team started to accelerate, and Yusaku Ozawa received a pass from Asahi Ken Matsushita.
Ozawa Yusaku deserves to be the one with the strongest scoring ability among the senior players. This time, he faked a real shot. The moment Ikegami retreated, he took off and shot again.
Ikegami also jumped up, trying to interfere with Ozawa Yusaku's shooting, but he found that Ozawa Yusaku was getting farther and farther away from him.
Fallback jump shot!
Looking at the basket that appeared in his field of vision, Ozawa Yusaku shot the basketball in his hand.
The corners of his mouth rose, and he knew it was coming the moment the basketball was thrown.
Huh~
Sure enough, the basketball successfully got into the net and narrowed the point difference to three points again.
Before the freshman team could serve again, suddenly, Yusaku Ozawa made a gesture.
The next moment, the senior players immediately pestered their opponents regardless of the loss of physical strength. Da Kumu ran up to Uozumi who was about to serve and kept waving his arms to interfere.
The whole place presses!
The full-court press is to implement man-to-man defense in the opponent's half. When the opponent's point guard is weak or has poor physical fitness, this kind of defense is very effective.
No matter what position you are in, one guard and one guard are very tight, which is equivalent to a close defense. When one's own side is disadvantaged, it will usually have unexpected effects.
This is a tactic mainly used against visitors, but the full-court pressing tactic consumes a lot of energy and is generally not adopted unless it is absolutely necessary.
However, the Lingnan team has always been good at physical strength and has the basic conditions to implement a full-court press.
In addition to personal defense, players must try to block the opponent's passing lanes as much as possible, put pressure on the opponent, cause the opponent to make mistakes, and thus initiate fast breaks and score points.
"Run, everyone, run for me and cover without the ball!"
Uozumi shouted quickly. He knew the characteristics of the full-court press and how to break it.
Since we don't have a strong point guard, Uozumi can only hope that his teammates can get out of the way.
Under Yuzhu's command, the teammates quickly started running.
However, they had no tacit understanding and their cooperation was very unfamiliar. When the referee started counting the seconds, they still did not get out of the gap.
In order to avoid a serving violation, in desperation, Uozumi made a fake pass, and then accurately hit the ball at the feet of Da Kumu.
The basketball rebounded and flew directly out of bounds.
This is a normal strategy.
Since the basketball only goes out of bounds when it touches the opponent's feet, the ball is still held by the team.
Taking advantage of this gap, Yuzhu chose to pause again and quickly discussed the instructions with his teammates, hoping that they could temporarily cope with the situation.
Coach Taoka crossed his arms and looked at Uozumi with admiration in his eyes.
Uozumi's performance far exceeded his expectations. He felt like a leader and even had the ability to lay out tactics.
The game resumed, and Uozumi once again held the basketball high, paying close attention to his teammates.
This time, while Danan Gujian was interfering with Yuzhu's serve, he was also constantly on guard to prevent Yuzhu from repeating his old tricks.
The teammates began to run and pull hard, and even set up off-ball screens.
Even if the cooperation between them is not tacit enough, they are not facing the king of the mountain. In the end, the passerby shooting guard successfully ran out of the gap through the off-ball screen.
Uozumi immediately passed the ball, and the passerby shooting guard successfully caught the basketball.
But the moment he caught the ball, three senior players rushed toward him aggressively, scaring him so much that he subconsciously squatted down and hugged the basketball.
During the scramble, the basketball stumbled out of a senior's hip.
The nearest Chi Shang grabbed the basketball and wanted to dribble the ball across half court.
Pa~
Ozawa Yusaku had quick eyesight and cut the basketball, but the basketball was grabbed by Uozumi. Seeing Okusu Guma and Inoue Toyoyoshi rushing towards him, he hurriedly passed the ball to the passerby small forward.
The passerby small forward was trying to hold the ball across half court, but was blocked again and had to protect the ball.
Toot~
Before the passerby small forward could pass the ball again, the referee's whistle sounded, but it was his own eight-second violation.
