May 3rd, Saturday!
Today is also the day when the second round of the Kanagawa Prefecture joint finals is held.
First, Lingnan and Tsujiuwu appeared.
Tsukutake is a strong team that has emerged in Kanagawa Prefecture in recent years. They even successfully reached the joint finals last year, but they only lost three goals in a row.
This year, Jinjiuwu made a comeback. With Hainan and Lingnan both losing, they saw an opportunity to get tickets for the national competition, and at the very least they had to win a game.
The characteristics of this team are the same as the Odagiri that Lingnan met before. They are both a small and fast team. Each position has mid-range shooting ability, which is equivalent to an enhanced version of Odagiri.
Soon, the two teams appeared one after another.
When they appeared on the stage, the audience responded enthusiastically.
If you listen carefully, you will find that most of these viewers are supporters of Lingnan.
Since Uozumi led Lingnan to defeat the king Hainan, his reputation has become higher and higher, and Lingnan's supporters have also increased dramatically.
Tsukutake's coaches and players don't look very good, which makes them feel like they are playing away from home.
"It seems that neither Yusaku Ozawa nor Oribe Sasaki has recovered, which is good news for us."
For the first time, Tsukutake coach Kazumi Kawasaki looked at the Lingnan team’s lineup.
He didn't see Ozawa Yusaku and Sasaki Oribe, and couldn't help but smile.
Coach Kazumi Kawasaki is a disciple of Mr. Anzai, and his technical and tactical skills are naturally not bad. It is under his coaching that Tsukutake has been able to enter the ranks of strong teams in recent years.
"Senior Inoue, Senior Da Kusu, you must attack the restricted area more often. Tsukutake can't stop you."
During the warm-up period, Uozumi carefully looked at Tsukutake's lineup, and then discussed it with Inoue Toyoyoshi and Ohkusu Fuma.
Judging from the data, not only does this Tsujiuwu team have no players with a height of 190 centimeters, but the highest is only 185 centimeters, and they are generally not strong enough.
Although Inoue Toyoyoshi and Ohkusu are both blue-collar players, with their size advantage, it is not a problem to share the scoring pressure.
Uozumi's idea is simple, that is, let them take on Ozawa Yusaku's scoring tasks as much as possible.
As for himself, in addition to continuing to score 30 points, he also needs to rebound and block shots as much as possible.
Once Inoue Toyoyoshi and Ohkusu put more energy into the offensive end, he will be able to rebound and block more shots, and the probability of breaking the record will be greater.
"Then it's settled!"
Naturally, Inoue Toyoyoshi and Ohkusu Kumo will not refuse. As players, they also want to play good data.
After they agreed, Uozumi looked at the data panel again.

This week, Uozumi has not been slacking off, which has also improved his ability to a certain extent.
Not long after, the warm-up was over.
"In the next game, you must slow down the tempo and focus on positional warfare. You must be quick when returning to defense and don't give them a chance to make a fast break. Do you understand?"
Before the Lingnan players took the field, coach Tian Gang began to make final arrangements.
A team like Tsukutake must not follow the opponent's rhythm, otherwise it is likely to suffer.
Soon, the starting lineups of both sides appeared.
Due to the absence of Ozawa Yusaku and Sasaki Oribe, Reinan's lineup naturally changed. They are Uozumi, Inoue Toyoyoshi, Ikegami Ryoji, Odawara Kiyoshi and Matsushita Asahi Ken.
Odawara Kiyoshi is the backup shooting guard of the Lingnan team. He has mid-range shooting and running ability, average defense, and no independent offensive ability.
Coach Taoka did not let Okusumi play in the starting lineup, mainly because facing a team with Tsukutake's characteristics, he was not suitable for the three-man strategy.
Tsukutake's starting lineup
Center: Nobe Hill, 185cm, 78kg, third grade
Ohmae: Teru Matsushita, 183 cm, 75 kg, second grade
Komae: Yuka Wudai, 178 cm, 76 kg, first grade
Shooting guard: Hiroshi Ohara, 176 cm, 71 kg, third grade
Point Guard: Natsume Hiroshi, 160cm, 55kg, first grade
Like Lingnan, Tsukutake also has two first-year players in his starting lineup, namely Yuka Wu Dai and Hiroshi Natsume.
Tomokazu Udairo was a junior high school classmate of Takenori Akagi and Konobu Kigure. He entered Tsukubu in high school. He was frustrated because although he entered Tsukubu, his basketball playing conditions were not as good as those of Akagi.
However, under the guidance of coach Kazumi Kawasaki, Wudai Yuka discovered the advantage of his good flexibility and began to practice three-point shooting hard. Now he has begun to see results and has become a qualified three-point shooter.
As for Natsume Hiroshi, in the original work, there was a brilliant performance in the match between Shohoku and Tsukutake.
At that time, Natsume Hiroshi passed Miyagi Ryota and Rukawa Kaede in succession, and passed the ball to assist and score. Yasuda, who was on the Shohoku bench, said that he was extremely fast and passed the ball very well.
Natsume Hiroshi is a point guard who is excellent in speed, agility, dribbling and passing. However, he is limited by his height and can easily become a shortcoming of the team defensively.
To put it simply, Natsume Hiroshi is a weakened version of Ryota Miyagi.
Soon, the referee threw the basketball high to signal that the game had officially begun.
When the basketball started to fall, Uozumi shot the basketball to Matsushita Asahi Ken with an absolute advantage.
Matsushita Asahi Ken moved the basketball steadily and almost walked into the frontcourt without time.
Lingnan's tactics are very simple, which is to lower the rhythm and focus on attacking inside.
After 20 seconds passed, Asahi Ken Matsushita lobbed the ball directly to Uozumi.
In this year's county competition, he experienced the advantage of height for the first time.
Bang~
With a slight bump from Uozumi, Tsukutake center Nobe Hill involuntarily took two steps back and then sat down on the ground.
The tonnage gap between the two sides was huge, equivalent to a difference of two levels, and Nobe Hill couldn't hold it at all.
Uozhu immediately turned his back, strode forward, and succeeded in a layup, taking the lead in scoring two points for Lingnan.
"Return to defense!"
Uozumi yelled and immediately led his teammates to quickly return to defense to prevent being beaten into a fast break by Tsukutake. This was also the main reason why he chose to lay up.
Nobe Hill quickly stood up, came to the baseline to serve quickly, and then rushed towards the frontcourt as quickly as possible.
Tsujiutake's attack was not unpleasant, but because Lingnan had made preparations in advance, this fast break was not successful.
Natsume Hiroshi tried to break through, but Matsushita Asahi Ken was no slower than him and was very good at defending smaller players.
Under the defense of Matsushita Asahi Ken, Natsume Hiroshi was almost intercepted. He had to grab the ball with both hands and pass the ball to Ohara Hiroshi.
Hiroshi Ohara is not only Tsukutake's captain, but also Tsukutake's best singles player.
