In less than two minutes, Watanabe Masayasu accumulated two fouls, which was very detrimental to him.
"Falling! Referee, he's diving!"
Watanabe Masayasu was furious and immediately wanted to complain to the referee, but the referee put the whistle in his mouth and was about to blow the whistle.
"Sorry, sorry, my brother was too excited. He didn't mean it."
Watanabe Masao apologized to the referee while forcibly dragging his brother away.
If Masayasu Watanabe is whistled again, he will have committed three fouls. How will he play in the rest of the game?
Buri belongs to a dual-core lineup. If Masayasu Watanabe is lost, not to mention whether Watanabe Masao will be unable to support himself alone, at least Buri's interior offense and defense will drop to a lower level.
Due to the relationship between twins, the Watanabe brothers cooperate very well. If one is beaten, the threat of the other will be reduced.
"Pity!"
Seeing Masao Watanabe dragging away Masayasu Watanabe, Uozumi couldn't help but secretly thought it was a pity.
If Watanabe Masayasu is whistled again, Lingnan's winning rate will definitely increase significantly.
Even so, Watanabe Masayasu, who suffered two fouls in less than two minutes, may become helpless.
Even before the game started, Uozumi had set his sights on Watanabe Masayasu.
He had watched the video of last year's prefectural competition finals. In last year's match between Buri and Shoyang, if Watanabe Masayasu hadn't left the field with five fouls, there was no way Buri would be the final winner.
Watanabe Masayasu seems to be stable, but in fact he is easily angered and is far inferior to his brother in this regard.
After changing the ball, Asahi Ken Matsushita held the ball for half the game and passed it to Yuzhu.
Masao Watanabe carried Uozumi forcefully, and he paid great attention to Uozumi.
For a long time, Masao Watanabe thought that Uozumi was as naive as he looked.
As a result, he was deceived by this guy. Not only did this guy hide his strength, but he was as cunning as a fox in his heart. They suffered a big loss at the beginning.
This guy doesn't look like a freshman at all!
As for the rumor that Uozumi only played basketball for three months, Watanabe Masao didn't believe it at all. It was definitely a lie.
Bang~
At the first moment, Uozumi was close to the opponent and he did not exert all his strength, but Masao Watanabe could only go all out.
At this moment, Uozumi turned his back, strode out, and was instantly parallel to Masao Watanabe, rushing straight towards the basket.
Watanabe Masao hurriedly launched a counterattack. Although he was strong, it was still difficult to shake Uozumi.
Uozumi quickly approached the basket, whether intentionally or unintentionally, not far from Watanabe Masayasu.
Watanabe Masayasu stepped forward subconsciously, wanting to slow down Uozumi so that he could attack from a flank with his brother.
Suddenly, Yuzhu made an emergency stop, held the ball with both hands, stretched out his hand, and made a shooting motion.
Because Uozumi's movements were too lifelike, Watanabe Masayasu jumped up subconsciously.
"No foul!"
Watanabe Masao knew something was wrong and immediately shouted.
In mid-air, Watanabe Masayasu saw Uozumi's honest smile.
Little did he know that he had been fooled by Yuzhu again. This guy was actively trying to trick him into fouling him.
But, he was in mid-air, how could he hide?
Just as Uozumi was about to get closer, at the critical moment, a pair of arms hugged Uozumi from behind.
Toot~
"White team No. 13 committed a foul, two points will be counted, and blue team No. 6 will add one free throw!"
The referee blew the whistle at the right time.
Phew~
Watanabe Masayasu fell to the ground. He was almost scared to death. He was just a little bit away from committing three fouls.
"pity!"
Uozumi secretly said a pity, turned his head to look at the person holding him, and found that the other person was Imamura Kazuo.
Kazuo Imamura is a freshman recruited by Buri this year. He is highly valued by coach Buri and will remain the core of Buri in the future.
At this time, Kazuo Imamura has not yet fully matured. He is a small forward. He has a mid-range shot and good defense, but does not have much independent offensive ability, similar to Ikegami.
It's just that one is 3D and the other is 2D.
"Zhengkang, if that guy attacks in a while, don't worry about him, leave everything to me!"
Masao Watanabe pulled Masako Watanabe to talk to him. He was afraid that his brother would foul again, which would make the game difficult.
After Uozumi broke the disguise, Watanabe Masao has completely placed Lingnan on the same level as them, and he no longer dares to show any slightest contempt.
At the free throw line, Yuzhu shot the basketball in his hand.
Huh~
Seeing that he hit another free throw, Uozumi was very excited. It seemed that temporary preparation was really useful.
Buri's offense, this time, used pick-and-rolls and off-ball screens. Masao Watanabe temporarily ran out of the open space and rushed straight to the basket.
Koichiro Nohara hurriedly passed the ball, and Masao Watanabe immediately jumped up and scored a slam dunk with both hands.
Uozumi spread his hands helplessly, Watanabe Masayasu is not Akagi Takenori, it is difficult for him to completely limit his performance.
Soon, the fish settled in the waist position.
Matsushita Asahi passed the ball, and Uozumi turned his back again and hit the basket with the ball.
This time, Watanabe Masayasu was afraid of being deceived into committing a foul by Uozumi, so he stopped trying to double-team Uozumi.
When he got close to the basket, Uozumi immediately turned sideways and held up Masao Watanabe. He raised his right hand high, jumped on one foot, and hooked the ball toward the basket.
"What?"
Masao Watanabe was surprised. At this time, he had no time to make defensive moves. He could only raise his head and watch the basketball fly over his head.
Huh~
The basketball passed through the basket and stirred up a cloud of flowers.
Buri served, and after halftime, Nohara Koichiro passed the ball to Watanabe Masao again.
Masao Watanabe waited for a moment, and then passed the ball to Masayasu Watanabe, who temporarily ran out of the open space.
The moment he caught the basketball, Watanabe Masayasu made a shooting gesture.
Toyo Inoue subconsciously stood on tiptoes, but unfortunately, this was Watanabe Masayasu's fake move.
After deceiving Inoue Toyoyoshi, Watanabe Masayasu immediately broke through with the ball. His speed could be called a small forward. He almost instantly wiped out Inoue Toyoyoshi and took off to shoot.
Bang~shua~
The basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the basket, giving Buri another two points.
In the following time, the two sides were like needles facing each other, and it was difficult to restrain each other, causing the score to start to rise alternately.
The Lingnan team mainly relies on Uozumi and Ozawa Yusaku's internal and external combination, while most of Buri's ball rights are given to the Watanabe brothers.
The Watanabe brothers cooperate very well, and often only need simple cooperation to tear apart the defense and score easily.
What I have to say here is that Asahi Ken Matsushita was a bit hindered. He couldn't guard Nohara Koichiro at all, and was always pushed and crushed by the opponent using his body weight.
There is a clear gap in the tonnage between the two, which feels like Paul meets Deron and is naturally restrained by the other party.
39:37!
When 17 minutes passed in the first half, the difference between the two sides was still close.
Lingnan is in front and Wuli is in the back.
The Lingnan team had the ball until then, and Lingnan finally seized the opportunity.
