Even though the current Hanagata can't hit the ball and has little competition experience, Uozumi still prefers to face Junichiro Nozawa.
The reason is very simple. Hanagata's speed is probably higher than Uozumi's, not to mention his flexibility. If Uozumi wants to watch him, he will definitely need to spend more energy.
If Xiangyang starts a fast attack, it will inevitably increase Uozumi's physical loss.
If Hanagata has already mastered the mid-range shot, Uozumi can only follow him closely. How will he be able to continue to sit in the penalty area when the time comes.
In short, Hanagata poses a far greater threat than Junichiro Nozawa.
After the Shoyo team served, Fujima held the ball past half-court and began to observe the situation on the court.
In the penalty area, Hanagata is trying to fight Uozumi.
Hanagata's confrontation was not weak, but compared to Uozumi, it was still far behind, and Uozumi was easily put at a disadvantage.
After gaining a clear understanding of Uozumi's power, Hanagata began to move, running to the side.
Uozumi didn't know if Hanagata had developed a mid-range shot, but he still had to follow it.
Hanagata's speed is faster than him, but the gap between the two is very small.
In terms of flexibility, the flower shape is definitely far superior to the fish residence.
After all, he is the only flexible center in SD, so his flexibility is not bad, not to mention that Hanakata has also developed a fadeaway jumper in the future.
However, Uozumi still felt sorry for Hanagata.
In the original work, Hanagata was 'raised' on the Xiangyang bench for two years, and did not officially become the starting center until his senior year of high school.
The most important thing is that Uozumi feels that Hanata is undoubtedly more suitable for the position of forward and guard swingman. Just like Durant, basically everyone will be out of position.
In SD, Hanagata can do back hooks, fadeaway jumpers, horseback archery, and has certain breakthrough skills. His biggest flaw is rebounding, and he is not as strong in confrontation as Akagi and Uozumi.
It can be said that the center is not conducive to the growth of flower shape.
At this time, under Fujima's signal, Hanagata stepped forward to block.
If it were Junichiro Nozawa, Uozumi would continue to be in the restricted area.
Unfortunately, his opponent was Hanagata, so he had to follow him.
Fujima used a flower-shaped pick and roll to temporarily get rid of Matsushita Asahi Ken.
Uozumi had to switch defense. He made good use of his height and wingspan advantages to open a distance of more than two meters from Fujima.
With the height difference between the two, Uozumi can still effectively interfere with Fujima's shooting.
Fujima tried to break through Uozumi, but the moment he advanced, Uozumi immediately strode back.
In terms of speed, Fujima was obviously faster, but Uozumi couldn't bear the pace.
That's all. The key is that the arm where the fish lives is too long, the coverage area is too large, and it is not very far from the restricted area.
If Fujima breaks through with all his heart, Uozumi will definitely enter the restricted area first, and then he may be interfered by Uozumi's long arms like just now.
"This guy doesn't look like a first-year player!"
Teng Zhen was very depressed, Uozumi's defense was too sophisticated.
"Fujima, this way!"
Suddenly, a flower-shaped voice sounded from the other side.
Hanagata took the initiative and raised his hand to ask for the ball. In front of him was Asahi Ken Matsushita after changing defense.
As both first-year players, Fujima is relatively familiar with Hanagata's strength. In his opinion, Hanagata is definitely capable of starting, but unfortunately he rarely gets a chance to play.
Without hesitation, Fujima chose to pass the ball.
At the moment of catching the ball, Hanagata ignored Asahi Tsurugi Matsushita, immediately held the basketball high and took off to shoot.
Matsushita Xujian struggled to interfere, but the effect was minimal.
"This guy really developed a mid-range shot!"
Seeing Hanagata's stretched shooting posture, Uozumi felt a shiver in his heart.
Bang~
Maybe it was too tense a relationship, or maybe it was a lack of skill, but in short the ball hit the basket.
However, the rebound was grabbed by Taro Aso.
Taro Aso hesitated and passed the ball to Hanagata again.
Without hesitation, Hanata took off and shot again.
"careful!"
Fujima's voice suddenly sounded.
At the same time, a huge figure appeared on the side of the flower shape and blocked his shot. Needless to say, it was Uozumi.
Seeing that the basketball was about to fly out of the baseline, Ikegami, the nearest player, did not give up and immediately flew over, almost parallel to the ground.
At the critical moment, Ikegami successfully saved the ball, but he fell to the floor.
Kiyoshi Odawara caught the basketball and immediately passed the ball to Asahi Ken Matsushita.
However, Xiangyang had already taken the lead and returned to defense.
Panasonic Xujian immediately slowed down his pace and began to delay, waiting for his teammates to get into position.
Without waiting long, Chishang ran up.
Yuzhu asked with concern: "Chishang, are you injured?"
"fine!"
Ikegami waved his hand pretending to be relaxed, and he pulled Aso Taro away again, giving Uozumi a more comfortable singles environment.
However, Uozumi noticed something was wrong with Chishang's steps, and he didn't know whether it was a bruise or a sprained foot.
At this time, Asahi Ken Matsushita passed the ball to Uozumi.
Different from the way he dealt with Junichiro Nozawa, Uozumi immediately started a post-up play.
Bang~
Even though Hanagata tried his best, he still couldn't stop retreating, and his body was leaning backwards obviously.
Even Hanagata two years later is no match for Uozumi in confrontation, let alone Hanagata now.
Bang~
There was no time for Hanaxing to catch his breath, and the second impact followed. Hanaxing was hit and fell to the ground, and his mind went blank.
At this moment, Hanagata felt that God was joking with him. He finally got a chance to play, but his opponent was Kanagawa's chief center. Not only his shot was blocked, but he was knocked to the ground during the confrontation.
He felt like he was almost having a psychological shadow!
After the flower shape fell to the ground, Uozumi continued to rush towards the basket.
Taro Aso hurriedly abandoned Ikegami and rushed over quickly.
Uozumi immediately passed the ball to Ikegami, who immediately took off and shot after receiving the ball.
However, Chishang's take-off posture seemed not quite right.
Bang~
The basketball hit the rim, and Uozumi immediately rushed to grab the rebound, but was caught between Hanagata and Taro Aso who stood up.
Even so, Uozumi barely managed to hit the rebound toward Ikegami.
Ikegami still had time to take a glance and threw the ball towards the basket again.
This time, he didn't take off!
Huh~
The basketball went hollow into the basket, stretching the score to eight points, and the situation became increasingly unfavorable to Xiangyang.
In the audience, the Hainan team began to cheer.
Although the Hainan team and the Lingnan team had a conflict, at this moment, the Hainan team was on the side of the Lingnan team.
However, the direction of the situation seems to be a little different from what they imagined.
At this time, Uozumi took the initiative to make a gesture to coach Tian Gang.
Coach Taoka immediately requested a timeout, and then saw Ikegami limping to the bench.
"Chishang, what's wrong?"
"I just sprained my foot. It was fine at first, but now it hurts a little!"
Ikegami told the truth, he knew very well that if he continued to stay on the court, he would become a liability.
