After a simple cooperation, Ozawa Yusaku broke into the penalty area with the ball.
Watanabe Masayasu, who was closest to him, quickly abandoned Inoue Yuyoshi and immediately pounced on Ozawa Yusaku.
Seeing Watanabe Masayasu rushing toward him, Ozawa Yusaku did not stop, but his dribbling frequency increased significantly, his left and right hands kept interlacing, and his body kept shaking.
In an instant, Ozawa Yusaku made a breakthrough to the right.
Watanabe Masayasu hurriedly moved to the left. His footsteps were nimble and he would not be passed easily.
However, at this moment, Ozawa Yusaku pulled the basketball, dribbled the ball with his crotch, handed the ball to his left hand, and made a breakthrough in the other direction.
"Don't even think about it!"
Watanabe Masayasu had to move to the right and tried his best to prevent Ozawa Yusaku from breaking through.
However, this also made Watanabe Masayasu stagger a little.
Just at this moment, before Watanabe Masayasu could gain a firm foothold, Ozawa Yusaku took the initiative and rushed forward, deliberately touching Watanabe Masayasu's ankle, which had not yet gained a firm foothold, as if being hooked by him.
Toot~
The referee's whistle sounded at the right time.
Ozawa Yusaku seemed to fall to the ground in embarrassment, with a subtle smile on his face facing the floor.
On the other hand, Watanabe Masayasu was confused. He felt that the other party did it on purpose.
"No. 5 on the white team committed a blocking foul, and No. 4 on the blue team made two free throws!"
The referee made the penalty immediately.
This time, whether it is Watanabe Masayasu or other Buri players, their faces are very ugly. As a result, Watanabe Masayasu has committed three fouls. The key now is the first half.
According to this trend, Watanabe Masayasu may not be able to play the whole game and will leave the field with five fouls.
Watanabe Masayasu was very helpless. He had just put down his guard, but he was fouled by the opponent without paying attention.
At the same time, Watanabe Masayasu's inner anger rose again, and his anger level skyrocketed.
He subconsciously wanted to complain to the referee, but Masao Watanabe, who knew him best, covered his mouth, dragged him away from the referee, and immediately gave the coach instructions for substitutions.
"You need to calm down!"
Masao Watanabe slapped Masayasu Watanabe on the shoulder hard. He didn't want to replace Masayasu Watanabe, but he had to replace him.
Watanabe Masayasu is in a irritated state and is likely to foul again if he continues to stay on the court.
To take a step back, even if Watanabe Masayasu didn't leave the field, I'm afraid he still wouldn't be able to let go.
Instead of doing this, it is better to change and calm down.
Coach Buri was afraid that Masayasu Watanabe would get sick again, so he quickly replaced him. The person who replaced Masayasu Watanabe was a blue-collar player.
In the stands, seeing Masayasu Watanabe being replaced, Shoyo captain Taro Aso couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, because this was almost the same as last year's game.
"Why doesn't this guy have a long memory?"
Kenji Fujima looked solemn and said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for Buri this time!"
"I didn't expect that Uozumi actually hid his strength. It's very unexpected. Fortunately, we encountered Buri. If it were us, we would probably suffer a secret loss."
Hearing Aso Taro say this, the faces of the other Xiangyang players also became serious.
They feel that whether Buri or Lingnan advance, they will be formidable opponents.
Not far away, the Tsujiuwu team had a wry smile on their faces, because no matter which team they were, they seemed to be unable to beat them.
They feel that this year will be the same as last year, swallowing three eggs in the joint finals-_-||
Swish~swish~
At the free throw line, Yusaku Ozawa hit consecutive free throws and once again scored two points for Lingnan.
"Well done, Captain!"
In the process of returning to defense, Uozumi extended his thumb towards Ozawa Yusaku.
Without Watanabe Masayasu, Buri's offense and defense have almost dropped by a notch.
At the same time, the threat of Masao Watanabe has inevitably declined.
Compared with Watanabe Masayasu, the newly replaced Buri power forward is just a blue-collar man without the ability to attack independently, and his cooperation is definitely not as good as Watanabe Masayasu.
As a result, Masao Watanabe can often only face Uozumi one-on-one on the offensive end, and it is difficult to score through the wonderful cooperation like just now.
However, Buri is not a two-man team.
Under the aggrieved gaze of Matsushita Asahi Ken, Nohara Koichiro turned his back again and pushed forward with a back attack!
Now there is no time limit for post-up singles. Nohara Koichiro is almost imitating Mark Jackson, using the advantage of tonnage to bully Matsushita Asahi Ken from behind.
In addition, Nohara Koichiro is also trying to slow down the pace as much as possible and delay time.
Bang bang bang~
Matsushita Asahi Ken was helpless. Even if he tried his best, he still couldn't resist Nohara Koichiro's shameless fighting style and couldn't stop retreating.
Sasaki Oribe had to come up and wanted to double-team. As a result, Nohara Koichiro was very aggressive and immediately passed the ball to Imamura Kazuo.
Huh~
Kazuo Imamura took a jump shot and made a hollow hit.
At this time, coach Taoka applied for a substitution and replaced Asahi Ken with Ikegami.
In terms of tonnage, Ikegami is not much inferior to Nohara Koichiro, and he is also a defensive warrior.
As a result, the ball control can only be left to Yusaku Ozawa.
Ozawa Yusaku steadily dribbled the basketball. When Nohara Koichiro stepped forward to strengthen the confrontation, he took advantage of the rhythm difference to complete the breakthrough.
After attracting the help of Watanabe Masao, Ozawa Yusaku immediately threw the ball towards the basket.
Bang~
The fish caught the alley-oop and smashed the ball into the basket arrogantly.
When Buri attacked, facing Ikegami's defense, Nohara Koichiro tried his back, but was unable to push in at all.
He tried again, but was almost intercepted by Ikegami.
In this case, he had to call Masao Watanabe to pick and roll.
Using the pick and roll, Nohara Koichiro avoided Ikegami's entanglement, but he had to face Uozumi who changed defense.
His speed was faster, but Yuzhu was not slow either, and he took the initiative to let him go a few steps.
The height difference between the two sides was too big. Even if Yuozhu let him go for two steps, he would not dare to shoot.
As a result, Nohara Koichiro had to pass the ball to Masao Watanabe who was about to leave.
However, Uozumi seemed to have expected it. The moment he passed the ball, he immediately rushed towards Watanabe Masao.
Masao Watanabe caught the ball and was about to press Ikegami for a layup, but he was hit by a fish and was knocked to the ground.
Yuzhu's action was very clean and the referee did not blow the whistle.
Before Masao Watanabe stood up, the Lingnan team launched a fast break and took advantage of the local 5-on-4 advantage to easily score two points.
For the rest of the first half, Masao Watanabe played very tangled.
Although Uozumi cannot completely limit his performance, his efficiency has inevitably dropped a lot, and his hit rate is only just over 40%.
Not long after, the first half was over.
50:42
Looking at the scores on the court, Watanabe Masao couldn't help but shook his head. Fortunately, there was less than three minutes left, otherwise the score difference would have been widened.
Even so, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wuli has fallen into a disadvantage.
