Shota Sugiyama is faster and more flexible than him. The most speechless thing is that this guy is very cool with the ball.
Yuzhu has seen his "famous work" in last year's national competition. This guy's mid-range shooting is quite good, and he also has organizational skills.
It's no wonder that Uozumi thinks he is a hexagonal warrior. It is precisely because he has no flaws that he can lead his weak teammates to achieve outstanding results.
If it's Takenori Akagi, it's different. You just need to double-team him when he catches the ball.
Takenori Akagi must be close to the basket to score, and his current passing and ball control is still very poor and will be difficult to improve in the short term.
To put it simply, Takenori Akagi, like Uozumi, has a low upper limit for his passing and ball control talents.
Shota Sugiyama passed the ball to Uozumi. Compared with the previous round, he was obviously more serious.
As soon as Uozumi stepped into the three-point line, Sugiyama Shota came up to him.
Uozumi hurriedly dribbled sideways, taking the initiative to increase the confrontation.
Shota Sugiyama was carrying Uozumi while waving his long arms to harass, waiting for an opportunity to steal the ball.
Without hesitation, Yuzhu chose to fight closely.
Shota Sugiyama had to lower his center of gravity and go all out.
Bang~
Even so, under the fierce collision, Sugiyama Shota felt a burning pain in his chest, and his body inevitably leaned back slightly.
Before Sugiyama Shota could adjust, Uozumi quickly turned around, took a big step, and was instantly parallel to Sugiyama Shota, rushing straight towards the basket.
Shota Sugiyama hurriedly chased back. He was very fast. As soon as Uozumi entered the penalty area, he caught up with him.
In the first moment, Shota Sugiyama took the initiative to fight, slowing down Uozumi, and at the same time, he made a steal with his right hand.
Uozumi quickly grabbed the basketball with both hands, not giving Shota Sugiyama a chance to steal it, and raised his hand to shoot.
This time, Shota Sugiyama did not take off, but opened his hands to interfere.
Suddenly, Uozumi quickly turned from facing the frame to turning sideways, using his right foot as a support point, raised his left hand high, hooked his fingers, and the basketball flew towards the basket in an arc.
Shota Sugiyama wanted to take off to interfere, but was suppressed by Uozumi's power and couldn't jump at all. He could only raise his head and watch the basketball fly over his head.
Huh~
The basketball passed through the basket and Yuzhu scored another point.
Uozumi breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes became more confident.
Although Shota Sugiyama's defense is very good, it is still difficult to limit his performance.
Likewise, it was difficult for him to limit Shota Sugiyama.
As expected, facing Shota Sugiyama's attack, Uozumi was unable to effectively interfere with him and was also scored by him.
In the fierce duel, time passed slowly, and the two people showed a tendency to explode with each other.
However, Uozumi's offense is closer to the basket, resulting in his efficiency being slightly higher than Shota Sugiyama.
Not long after, Uozumi successfully scored the tenth goal.
In the first round, Yuzhu won the game with a score of 10:8.
"continue!"
Shota Sugiyama took off his glasses and wiped the sweat on his face with a towel. His sharp eyes gave people a feeling of eagerness to try.
He wasn't aggressive, he was just happy to see him!
"Wait a minute, I'll eat a banana first, do you want one too?"
Uozumi picked up the bananas that he brought from home. Unlike Shota Sugiyama, his physical fitness was obviously no longer at its peak. After playing a round, he was even more exhausted and needed to replenish energy.
"Thanks!"
Sugiyama Shota did not refuse, picked up a banana and ate it.
"Your strength is very strong. It has transcended the category of high school students. Even in college, you are definitely at the forefront."
Shota Sugiyama gave Uozumi a high evaluation. Unlike his evaluation of Ohda two years later, he has not yet finished playing in the college league, so he cannot give an accurate evaluation yet.
At this time, Kazuo Karasawa said: "Sugiyama, even if Uozumi enters university now, his strength can rank among the top three centers in the university!"
After finishing speaking, Kazuo Karasawa looked at Uozumi with bright eyes.
Unlike Shota Sugiyama, Kazuo Karasawa has rich experience in coaching universities, has a clear understanding of each team, and has a relatively in-depth understanding of strong university players.
"The evaluation is the same as Ogata!"
Yuzhu thought to himself, but he was not too happy because this was not beyond his expectation.
His current strength is similar to that of Okada and Shigehiro Mori at their peak, so it is normal to be ranked among the top three college centers.
Well, you can't have too high hopes for college players of this era in the island country, let alone centers.
It didn’t take long for Uozumi to be urged to play by Sugiyama Shota.
Uozumi also didn't expect that the seemingly elegant Sugiyama Shota actually had such a side.
He had no choice but to have another round with Shota Sugiyama.
In this game, the two were inextricably linked. The battle was very intense, and the score was rising staggered, even reaching 9:9, maintaining the suspense until the end.
However, Shota Sugiyama had the ball, and in the end, thanks to Uozumi's efforts to interfere, Shota Sugiyama succeeded in striking.
As a result, Uozumi did not seize the opportunity. He and Sugiyama Shota were exactly the same, and they also ended up blacksmithing.
Due to severe physical loss, both of their shooting rates were affected.
In the next three minutes, the two of them failed to score the decisive goal.
On the field, the two men were breathing heavily and looking at each other.
Uozumi was even holding his knees. He had been fighting with Akagi all day long, and on the way home, he was fighting with Tetsuo and others, and now he was fighting with Sugiyama Shota, a strong man with Suo.
He is so difficult!
His physical strength had bottomed out, and his steps became slow, just like the last few minutes of the fight against Xiangyang.
Relatively speaking, Sugiyama Shota is definitely in better shape.
This time it was Shota Sugiyama's turn to attack again. The difference was that he shot directly from outside the three-point line.
Uozumi was caught off guard. When he reacted, he only had time to wave his hand and quickly turned to look at the orange basketball flying toward the basket.
Huh~
The basketball hollowed into the net, creating a cloud of net flowers.
Yuzhu spread his hands, looking very helpless, and then sat down on the ground.
He didn't expect Shota Sugiyama to be able to shoot three-pointers. Even though FIBA's three-point line is shorter than that of the NBA, it is still non-mainstream in this era.
Seeing the basketball fall into the net, Sugiyama Shota was also very relieved, and he also followed suit and sat on the floor.
"Looks like I'm lucky this time!"
Shota Sugiyama is very self-aware. He has not yet mastered his three-point shooting and cannot use it as a conventional weapon for the time being. If he had not been forced this time, he would not have taken the risk.
"Hoo, ho, Sugiyama-senpai, do you still want to fight?"
When Uozumi was talking, his eyes towards Sugiyama Shota suddenly became intense.
It wasn't that he was sexually interested in Sugiyama Shota, but he just took a look at the data panel and found that two of the data on it had actually increased.
Obviously, under the pressure of Shota Sugiyama, his potential was stimulated faster.
In Uozumi's eyes, Sugiyama Shota is simply a treasure boy!
For a moment, Yuzhu forgot about his fatigue.
