In the next few rounds, Ikegami still defended Mitsui alone.
Unfortunately, facing the hot Mitsui, Ikegami's defensive efficiency was not high.
However, during this process, Mitsui could clearly feel the loss of physical strength and began to breathe heavily.
Ikegami is too 'tangled', and if Mitsui wants to score, he will have to spend more energy.
The most important thing is that the performance of his teammates was really not very good, leaving Mitsui with almost no time to breathe, which also caused his physical strength to drain quickly.
It's not like he didn't try to assist his teammates to score.
Unfortunately, including Akagi, his teammates' offensive efficiency is very low, and even open shots are not guaranteed enough.
To put it simply, except for Mitsui, the Lingnan team is obviously better than the Xiangbei team in the remaining four positions, almost locking out the opposing players.
When the Xiangbei team resumed their attack, the Lingnan team further strengthened its defense against Mitsui and began to double-team Mitsui.
Although Mitsui's breakthrough is strong, it has not yet reached the level of Rukawa Kaede. His offensive method is mainly based on shooting, supplemented by breakthrough.
Facing the double-team of the Lingnan team, Mitsui had to distribute the ball again and pass the ball to Mumu, who was temporarily open.
Unfortunately, Mu Mu's current shooting is very unstable and the hit rate cannot be guaranteed, causing the ball to end in a blacksmith.
Uozumi once again beat Akagi to grab the rebound. After passing the ball to Asahi Ken Matsushita, he trotted towards the frontcourt.
This Xiangbei team is full of weaknesses!
Using simple coordination, the Lingnan team easily tore apart the Xiangbei team's defense and scored again.
"It's so hard for me!"
Mitsui wiped the sweat from his face. His fighting spirit was still strong, but there was always a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
After all, basketball is a team sport. Unless you are as strong as Shota Sugiyama, it will be difficult to defeat a strong team on your own.
Last year, Shota Sugiyama not only led a weak team to qualify for the national competition with a single core, but also became a national top eight team in one fell swoop.
The current Mitsui Hisashi is not as powerful as Sugiyama Shota yet.
However, Mitsui can continue to score, especially three-pointers, but his efficiency will inevitably be compromised.
In the following time, the scene began to become dull and unusual.
The Shohoku team's ball rights are basically concentrated in the hands of Mitsui, who holds the ball in singles.
On the other hand, the Lingnan team started to use simple cooperation to continuously pull the Xiangbei team's defense, and they were often able to score easily.
Thanks to Mitsui's still hot touch, the offensive efficiency of both sides was not much different, and the score began to rise.
But in general, the Lingnan team's scoring efficiency was higher, which opened the point difference between the two sides to double digits.
At the edge of the court, coach Anxi looked at Yuzhu on the court from time to time, his eyes twinkling.
"Coach Taoka, is it true that Uozumi has only been exposed to basketball for three months?"
"To be precise, less than three months!"
Coach Tian Gang folded his hands, unable to hide his inner pride.
Coach Anxi couldn't help showing a look of regret and sighed softly: "I have to say that Yuzhu is a good seedling. As long as he perseveres, he will become a great player in the future!"
Looking at Uozumi on the field, for some reason, Tanizawa's figure began to overlap with Uozumi, which made Coach Anzai very regretful.
In the opinion of coach Anzai, Uozumi is definitely a genius and has met his selection criteria.
If players could be traded like the NBA, Coach Anzai would definitely get Yuzhu at all costs.
He believes that as long as Yuzhu is properly trained, Yuzhu will have the opportunity to become a national-level player in the future.
"If Uozumi knew Coach Anzai's evaluation, I believe he would be very happy!"
Coach Taoka had a smile on his face, and after a pause, he continued: "However, Mitsui and Akagi are not bad either. As long as they are trained well, they can also become great talents in the future!"
"haha!"
Coach Anzai let out his trademark laugh, but he didn't answer the question.
Since Tanizawa's accident, coach Anzai has lost his fighting spirit, and due to his poor health, he finally chose to come to Shohoku to retire.
The current coach Anzai is very lazy, and he has a very high vision. Not to mention carefully training Xiangbei players, he rarely even comes to the basketball team.
In the eyes of coach Anzai, Mitsui is very strong and is definitely a rare player in Kanagawa.
Unfortunately, first-year Mitsui is only 176 centimeters tall and weighs 63 kilograms. Unless he grows twenty or thirty centimeters like Ohda, he will have physical defects.
The most important thing is that coach Anxi prefers to develop inside players rather than outside players.
In this era, we are still in the era where insiders are king!
Similarly, Takenori Akagi did not meet Coach Anzai's selection standards, especially after being beaten by Uozumi.
It was not until two years later, with the arrival of Hanamichi Sakuragi and Kaede Rukawa, that coach Anzai would come to the basketball team frequently.
After the two coaches chatted, the first half was finally over soon.
The Lingnan team players looked very relaxed, while the Xiangbei team players were breathing heavily.
Mitsui was bent over, holding his knees with both hands, sweating profusely. He was breathing heavily and was out of breath.
In the first half, because his teammates were not strong enough, Mitsui did not even have time to breathe and had to attack with all his strength. This also caused his physical strength to drain quickly and he could hardly hold on.
Mumu hurriedly helped Mitsui to the bench and asked with concern: "Mitsui, how are you?"
"Fortunately, I should be able to hold on for a while longer in the second half!"
Mitsui took a few deep breaths. He was disappointed with the performance of his teammates. If he continued like this in the second half, it wouldn't take long before his physical strength would be exhausted.
"Mitsui, I'm sorry, I couldn't help you!"
Konobu Mumu showed an apologetic expression. He received several passes from Mitsui in the first half, but only hit one.
"Mu Mu, you must practice shooting well in the future."
"I will definitely work hard!"
Mu Mu rarely clenched his fists, and immediately began to comfort Chimu on the other side.
A white towel wrapped Akagi's head. He lowered his head, looking very depressed.
In the first half, Akagi was completely beaten by Uozumi on both offense and defense. If Mitsui hadn't passed a good ball, I'm afraid he wouldn't have even scored a point.
Mu Mu asked with concern: "Akagi, are you okay?"
"It's okay! He is very strong, but being strong for a while does not mean that he can maintain it forever. I believe that I will be stronger than him in the future! Definitely!"
Akagi shook his fist and tried to cheer himself up.
His competitive spirit was aroused, but Yuzhu put too much pressure on him, which made him a little out of breath.
"Everyone, come here, I will announce the tactics for the second half!"
Suddenly, Coach Anxi's voice sounded.
