Coach Taoka had to adjust the lineup, and after some contemplation, he replaced Inoue Toyoyoshi and Okusan in one go.
As a result, Lingnan began to play a lineup with three big players.
The difference is that this time Lingnan's defense is no longer one-on-one, but in the form of regional defense.
When the zone defense switches from offense to defense, the players quickly return to the backcourt. Each player is responsible for defending a certain area, closely guarding the offensive players entering the area, and cooperating with their teammates to defend, using a certain formation to separate each defensive player. The regions are organically connected.
Lingnan chose a second and third defense, with 2 people on the line and 3 people on the line.
The two people on the upper line stand at the two endpoints of the free throw line. The two people on the outside of the lower line are not allowed to leave the three-point line. They defend one step inside the three-point line. The middle person guards the basket and stands in the 3-second zone.
It is precisely because the fiba rule does not require three seconds of defense, so the center can always guard the basket.
The second and third defense focus on grabbing rebounds. When the opponent shoots, the five players immediately retreat to the penalty area with a clear division of labor to protect the rebounds.
At the same time, the second and third zone defense is also suitable for teams that move slowly and are taller than the opponent. Because of man-to-man defense, taller players who move slowly will inevitably suffer.
The shortcomings are also obvious. Due to the limitations of regional division of labor, the second and third defenses have certain weak areas, which are easily vulnerable to the opponent's overpowering in local areas.
Coach Taoka's idea is simple, that is, to bet on the Xiangyang team's touch and protect the rebounds at the same time.
With the height and blocking skills of the three giants, Lingnan will not be at a disadvantage as long as his opponent's hand is not very good.
Soon, the game started again.
The Xiangyang team started to attack, and Fujima stood outside the three-point line, carefully observing Lingnan's formation, trying to find opportunities.
As an excellent point guard, reading the game can be said to be a must-have ability.
Fujima tried to move, Matsushita Asahi Ken stared at him closely.
Not far away, Odawara Kiyoshi followed closely behind Aso Taro.
As for Hanagata, Matsushima Ichito and Kimura Yuya of the Shoyo team, there is no one dedicated to guard them.
Obviously, the focus of the Lingnan team is Fujima and Taro Aso, and coach Tianoka is betting that the other three players have poor touch.
Among them, Hanagata can be said to be a newcomer and looks relatively nervous, while Matsushima Ichito and Kimura Yuya are still role players and are definitely not as stable as Fujima and Aso Taro at critical moments.
Fujima hesitated for a moment and passed the ball to Yuya Kimura, who was unguarded.
After receiving the basketball, Kimura Yuya immediately took off and shot.
Da Kusu's house, who was closest to Kimura Yuya, hurriedly stepped forward to interfere, but the effect was not great.
Bang~shua~
The basketball first hit the basket and then bounced into the basket. The Xiangyang team recovered two points.
"Kimura-senpai, I knew you would make this shot!"
When returning to defense, Fujima and Kimura Yuya clapped their hands.
He has a deep understanding of Yuya Kimura. This is a player with relatively mediocre physical fitness but who is extremely good at jump shots, especially 45°, which is the most accurate.
"Let's defend this goal!"
Kimura Yuya looked calm. Now was not the time to relax. After all, Lingnan was still in the lead.
Soon, Matsushita Asahi held the ball past halftime.
Facing Fujima's defense, Matsushita Asahiken dribbled sideways. His rhythm was very slow, giving people the feeling of delaying time.
He is indeed stalling for time!
Outside the paint area, Uozumi had no intention of exerting any force. In the time just now, he spent a lot of energy on both offense and defense, and he needed to slow down for a while.
At this time, Uozumi was very envious of Sakuragi Hanamichi. He could be said to be the best physical player in SD. If Mori Shigehiro's strength reached full value in high school, then Sakuragi Hanamichi's physical strength was also at full value.
As for whether it has been exceeded or not, that is not something that Fish House can know.
Twenty seconds after the attack time passed, Matsushita Asahiken passed the ball to Da Kusuma.
Da Kusu's opponent is Matsushima Kazuto, who has an obvious height advantage.
The only pity is that Da Nan did not develop CIC during his old life. Otherwise, for him, a household in Songdao would not be much different from being undefended.
Bang ~ bang ~
Da Nanguji turned on the back attack mode. Even though the Songdao family went all out, they still couldn't stop retreating.
Just when Danan Gujian was exerting his strength again, a family in Songdao suddenly 'withdrew their stool'.
The unprepared Da Nan stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Toot~
The referee's whistle sounded, but it was Da Nan who walked away, resulting in the ball being lost to the North.
The Xiangyang team served quickly, and five people quickly ran towards the frontcourt.
Lingnan players quickly returned to defense, but were still beaten by a time difference. In the end, Matsushima Kazuto succeeded in a layup.
In terms of overall speed, Lingnan is obviously a notch behind.
The speeds of Inoue Toyoyoshi and Da Kusu are slightly different from those of Uozumi.
"After attacking for a while, you should immediately return to defense as quickly as possible, and try your best to avoid being beaten by Xiangyang into a fast attack."
When serving, Uozumi gave instructions.
With his prestige in the team, he was naturally recognized by his teammates.
This time the attack was still led by Danan Gujian.
There is no way, he is the Lingnan player with the most physical strength on the field, and he also has a considerable advantage.
Different from the last time, Da Kuan left two points behind and continued to advance into the penalty area with his back. After knocking back Matsushima Ichito again, he turned around and wanted to dunk.
"Not small!"
Yuzhu's voice sounded, but it was still a step too late.
Pa~
At the moment when Da Kusu turned around, Taro Aso suddenly appeared and cut the basketball.
The only fault is that Da Nan turned around too slowly and was not vigilant enough.
After completing the steal, Aso passed the ball to Fujima and immediately rushed forward like flying.
Odawara Kiyoshi pursued closely, preventing Aso Taro from running away.
However, Taro Aso is not the only one in Xiangyang. Before the Lingnan players could complete their defense, Fujima quickly passed the ball and Hanagata finally scored with a slam dunk.
After scoring, Hanagata was visibly relieved, feeling less nervous and looking much normal.
"It's nerve-wracking!"
Uozumi muttered to himself, but Xiangyang recovered six points in a row, and Lingnan's lead was only two points.
In the stands, everyone in Hainan was stunned by their support for Lingnan.
Takamiya Motoyu said hesitantly: "We should support Xiangyang. I feel that Lingnan has a greater chance of being eliminated."
The main reason for the hesitation is that Hainan and Xiangyang are very difficult to deal with.
However, for the sake of a spot in the national competition, Hainan is willing to put aside its past prejudices and support the Xiangyang team.
"Then support Xiangyang!"
Like grass on the wall, under the strange looks of nearby spectators, the Hainan team began to support Xiangyang again, as if doing so would increase their chances of qualifying for the national competition.
I really don’t have any shame at all!
Mu Shenyi felt very shameless, but since his teammates had all done the same, he could only bite the bullet and follow along to support Xiangyang.
