May 4th, Sunday!
The third round of the Kanagawa Prefecture joint finals follows the second round.
This also means that all four teams have no rest time, which is fair and just in a sense.
However, if you analyze it carefully, you will find that the Lingnan team took advantage because they faced the weakest Tsujiu Take yesterday, so they naturally had a lot of energy left.
In addition, Hainan and Jinjiuwu will play first in the third round of the joint finals, while Lingnan and Xiangyang will play in the latter game.
This day is also the day when the county competition determines the champion.
Early in the morning, many spectators gathered at the stadium, fearing that they would be late.
Before the first game even started, the stadium was packed, buzzing, and buzzing.
When Hainan and Tsujiuwu appeared on the stage, the stadium began to be filled with cheers and cheers from the audience.
However, there were obviously more spectators supporting Hainan, and it felt like they were coming to the Hainan team's home court.
Hainan, the king, has won the county championship for 14 consecutive years. In terms of background, it is far from being comparable to Tsujiuwu.
"No matter what, we must win the last game. With Lingnan as an example, we may have a chance to win against Hainan. Moreover, judging from yesterday's game, Hainan's core core Motomo Takamiya is in poor condition. This is our opportunity. I believe everyone doesn’t want to swallow three eggs in a row like last year!”
Before the game started, coach Kazumi Kawasaki looked at the nervous faces of the players and began to encourage them.
Encouraged by coach Kazumi Kawasaki, the eyes of Tsukutake players became high-spirited and their morale was like a rainbow.
Although Tsukutake has lost the opportunity to qualify for the national competition, it does not mean that they will give up. Just as coach Kazumi Kawasaki said, they do not want to repeat the same mistakes as last year.
If you swallow three eggs for two consecutive years and never win a game, this is simply a shame for many Tsujiuwu players.
At this moment, Jinjiuwu players are fighting for their beliefs!
In the audience seat behind Tsukutake's bench, Coach Taoka folded his hands and couldn't help but sigh: "Coach Kawasaki is indeed a student of Coach Anzai. He is a rare and good coach!"
I have to say that judging from Coach Kawasaki’s performance just now, he has a strong prestige among Tsukutake, and his words are full of contagion.
While Coach Taoka was sighing, the Shoyo team sitting not far away was also discussing Tsukutake's Kawasaki coach.
Among them, Kenji Fujima’s eyes flickered, looking at Coach Kawasaki from time to time, and then looking at his own coach.
After losing to the Hainan team yesterday, Fujima Kenji carefully reviewed the game.
In his opinion, the Xiangyang team clearly had the advantage, but it was the Hainan team that won.
Although basketball has the same chance as football, and a weak team may defeat a strong team, Xiangyang's performance was not bad, and it led for most of the game, and it was not until the end that it was overtaken and defeated.
Why is this happening?
Kenji Fujima found the reason. He felt that it had nothing to do with the players and was entirely a problem with the coach.
In this game, Coach Xiangyang was completely led by Coach Gao Tou, and he missed opportunities to expand the score again and again, and the good situation was just gone.
This made Kenji Fujima very sad. He felt that even if he served as a coach, he would be better than he is now.
Well, I can do it if I join the series!
Not to mention Fujima Kenji's thoughts, not long after, the game officially started on the field.
Ikeda Kazuhiro succeeded in jumping the ball, and Hainan took the lead in attacking.
No surprise, Hainan played at a slow pace.
Soon, Mu Shenyi made a strong charge with the ball. Natsume Hiroshi tried to block it, but was easily squeezed away by Mu Shenyi.
At the moment of attracting double-teams, Makoto passed the ball to Takamiya Moto who cut in, and the latter dunked.
Although Takamiya Motoyu has not yet recovered, there is still no problem with dunking.
In the first moment, Tsujiuwu served quickly, and the Hainan team quickly returned to defense.
However, Ikeda Kazuhiro was obviously holding back.
He is too slow!
As soon as Ikeda and Hiro passed halftime, Tsukutake launched an attack.
In a partial five-on-four situation, Wu Daiyouhe had an opportunity and hit an open three-pointer.
On the sidelines, coach Gao Tou was still waving his folding fan. He didn't seem to take Tsujiu Wu too seriously. He felt that his players would make spontaneous adjustments.
However, Coach Gaotou still overestimated Kazuhiro Ikeda's speed.
Even if Ikeda Kazuhiro returns to defense at full speed, he can't keep up with Tsukutake's fast break. It feels like he is practicing a return run, which makes Coach Gaotou very depressed.
Although Ikeda Kazuhiro is known as one of the three major centers, Coach Gaotou knows very well that compared with Uozumi and Watanabe Masao, Ikeda Kazuhiro is undoubtedly much inferior, and he is just a make-up.
Facing a team without a strong center, Ikeda Kazuhiro often performs well, but once faced with a center that can hold Ikeda Kazuhiro, Ikeda Kazuhiro, who can only squeeze and beat hard, suffers. leading to abnormal performance.
That's it. Because Ikeda Kazuhiro is too slow and not very flexible, facing small and fast teams like Tsukutake and Odagiri, Ikeda Kazuhiro can easily hold the team back.
However, Coach Takatou did not immediately replace Ikeda Kazuhiro because he performed very well on the offensive end and Tsukutake couldn't restrict Ikeda Kazuhiro at all.
After five minutes, Coach Gaotou could no longer bear it and replaced Kazuhiro Ikeda.
The reason is simple, Jin Jiuwu is ahead of the Hainan team.
In addition to the reason for Ikeda Kazuhiro, it is also related to the hot touch of Tsukutake players.
For a team with Tsukutake's style, they rely heavily on touch. Once the touch breaks out, it is easy to defeat the strong with the weak.
After the substitution, Hainan finally kept up with Jinjiuwu's pace, and the efficiency of Jinjiuwu's players began to decline.
However, Tsukutake still firmly holds the score advantage.
Without Ikeda Kazuhiro, the Hainan team's offensive efficiency has also been affected.
Not only that, Takamiya Motomoto seemed to have transformed into a 'left-hand magician', and began to show signs of inattention and slow reaction. When Makoto made a breakthrough pass, it directly hit him in the face.
Mu Shinichi is also responsible for this goal. After all, he passed the ball quickly and urgently, but Takamiya Motoyu still has to bear the main responsibility. After all, he feels like he is in a daze.
There is no doubt that this is the sequelae of a concussion.
It would be okay if the time is short, but as time goes by, Takamiya Motoyu's influence will become greater and greater.
This can be said to be the brain’s protective mechanism!
Mu Shinichi's pass seemed to aggravate Takamiya Motoyu's concussion, causing the latter's frequency of dazes to increase dramatically.
Faced with this situation, coach Takatou had to replace Takamiya Motoyu.
As a result, the Hainan team's lineup has undoubtedly been weakened a lot, leaving only one top player like Mu Shenyi.
