With Yuzhu's goal, the low morale of Lingnan players was restored.
However, Yuzhu had a hidden worry in his heart.
This style of play seems very fierce and has a great visual impact, but if it is done like this every time, it will undoubtedly be difficult to last.
Yuzhu's physical strength is quite sufficient, but without the help of his teammates, it is also difficult to maintain it for too long, especially in terms of sustainability.
Even for NBA superstars, it is difficult for them to maintain highlight moments throughout a game, or even for a few games throughout their careers.
During the Shoyo team's offense, Aso once again took the initiative to screen for Fujima, and then received the pass in the corner area. He completely ignored Asahi Ken Matsushita's defense, and scored the first goal.
2:9
The height difference between the two is too big. Even if Matsushita Asahi takes off with all his strength, it will be difficult to effectively restrict Aso Taro.
Toot~
At this time, coach Tian Gang applied for a timeout.
After pondering for a moment, coach Tian Gang began to 'march and set up'.
"After a while, Sato replaced Inoue, and you and Ikegami changed positions, with Ikegami playing power forward.
Sato, Ikegami, when attacking, if you have a chance, you must remember to be decisive.
Yuzhu, if your teammates have an opportunity, you must remember to pass the ball and save energy as much as possible. "
Nori Sato, 180cm tall and 66kg in weight, is a sophomore from the Lingnan team. He is fast, has fixed-point shooting ability, and a certain breakthrough ability, but is afraid of confrontation. He can be regarded as a substitute player with distinctive characteristics.
Coach Tianoka's deployment is not only aimed at the Xiangyang team, he has three purposes.
One, limit Taro Aso’s performance.
Second, reduce the opponent's fast break opportunities.
Third, liberate Yuzhu.
Ikegami serves as a power forward. With his three-point threat, he can pull Aso out. Without Aso's help, Lingnan players can score more easily.
At the same time, with Ikegami's physical fitness, he will definitely be better at defending Aso Taro than Inoue Yuyoshi.
However, this will inevitably reduce Lingnan's rebounding advantage, but as long as there are fish living there, it will not be inferior to Xiangyang.
Although the county competition is not over yet, one thing is almost certain. If nothing happens, Yuzhu can firmly win the rebounding title.
His current rebounds per game are nearly three more than the second-place player, which is undoubtedly a big gap.
After the game restarted, Asahi Ken Matsushita held the ball past halftime and began to observe the situation on the court.
With Xiangyang's tacit cooperation and his stronger personal abilities, for a while, everyone in Lingnan didn't have a chance to escape.
When 20 seconds passed, Matsushita Asahi Ken had to pass the ball to Yuzhu.
Without hesitation, Uozumi immediately turned his back. Nozawa Junichiro was obviously on guard and reluctantly moved a step sideways to block Uozumi's breakthrough route.
Uozumi did not force a breakthrough. Taking advantage of Junichiro Nozawa's unsteady footing, he used an unskilled dribbling to change direction and complete the breakthrough, rushing toward the basket.
Taro Aso had some scruples, but when he saw Uozumi rushing towards the basket, he had to drop Ikegami and block Uozumi.
Ikegami immediately rushed toward the right corner. The moment he appeared outside the three-point line, Uozumi quickly passed the ball over.
Taro Aso was taken aback and rushed towards Ikegami. Even though his speed was comparable to that of a defender, it was still too late.
Huh~
Ikegami took a jump shot and hit a three-pointer.
5:9
When the Shoyo team attacked, Ikegami did cause some trouble for Aso, but his defensive experience was not rich enough. Even if he tried his best, he was still no match for Aso, and he was easily scored by the opponent.
However, it was also difficult for Xiangyang to limit the performance of the Lingnan team.
Taro Aso did not dare to let Ikegami go, so he could only be taken away by Ikegami step by step.
Without Taro Aso's assisting defense, the offensive efficiency of the Reinan team has greatly increased, especially Uozumi, as Junichiro Nozawa could not guard him at all.
Junichiro Nozawa is very confrontational and has rich defensive experience, but he is too inflexible and moves too slowly laterally, unable to stop Uozumi from breaking into the penalty area.
Once Taro Aso starts to help defend, Uozumi will rely on his tacit understanding with Ikegami to assist Ikegami to score.
If Ikegami misses, Uozumi also has a chance to grab offensive rebounds.
Taro Aso is too far away and it is difficult to fight for rebounds in the first place.
Therefore, Uozumi's main opponent for grabbing rebounds is Junichiro Nozawa, but with Junichiro Nozawa's mobility, Uozumi can definitely seize the opportunity and occupy a better position.
This gave Taro Aso a big headache. Just through a timeout, the Lingnan team's offense was vigorous.
On the other side, Fujima Kenji couldn't help but look at his coach.
Unfortunately, Coach Xiangyang has no countermeasures for the time being, which makes Fujima even more disappointed.
In Fujima's view, among the coaches of the four teams in the joint finals, his own coach may be at the bottom.
The situation on the court is changing, and the importance of a good coach can be imagined, otherwise Xiangyang would not be defeated by Hainan.
In the following time, the two sides attacked like a wave, and almost no one could guard the other. The scores of both sides began to rise.
Until the halftime break, the score difference between the two sides was still within five points.
Xiangyang did not widen the point difference, and Lingnan did not narrow the score.
During this period, coach Xiangyang also made deployments.
Unfortunately, it didn't have much effect.
Coach Xiangyang trusts the senior players more. In such an important game, except for Fujima Kenji, the freshmen will not get the chance to play.
"It's a good thing that Xiangyang didn't send Hanagata on the field, otherwise, if Hanagata were to be the power forward, I'm afraid there would be trouble!"
On the Lingnan bench, Yuzhu took a sip of sports drink.
He didn't know Hanagata's strength, but he thought it wouldn't be too bad. Once Hanagata is allowed to play power forward, Xiangyang will have a height advantage, which can not only better protect the rebounds, but also further liberate Taro Aso.
With Taro Aso's explosive physical fitness, it doesn't matter even if he plays as a defender.
Yuzhu put down his drink and took another banana and peeled it open, hoping to regain his strength as soon as possible.
In the first half, most of Lingnan's possessions passed through his hands. Even if he didn't have to play singles every time, it would be a lie to say he wasn't tired.
In addition, Yuzhu also needs to fight for rebounds as much as possible.
Among them, Yuzhu grabbed four offensive rebounds in the first half, three of which were converted into points.
It was precisely with the slight advantage in rebounding and Yuzhu's sharp offense that Lingnan was not allowed to open up the score.
In just the first half, Uozhu scored 20+10, which also caused him to lose a lot of energy.
At the beginning of the second half, Shoyo team's offense, Ikegami was still unable to contain Taro Aso's scoring momentum, and the opponent scored two points again.
Unexpectedly, Aso did not immediately return to defense.
He came to Uozumi who was about to serve, raised his hands high, and seemed to be hindering Uozumi from serving, but in fact he said secretly: "Brother, let's discuss something!"
