Under Uozumi's ridicule, Sakurai Kentaro seemed very angry and glared at Uozumi fiercely.
Anger made him lose his mind!
This is just like Yuzhu in the plot year, who was deliberately angered by the Hainan team, which ultimately led to the Lingnan team falling short.
Kashima Fengshuang on the side said quickly: "Sakurai, calm down, he is trying to anger you!"
"I know!"
Kentaro Sakurai said this, but he still couldn't hide his anger in his heart.
However, he still took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, but his heart was still filled with uncontrollable anger.
At the free throw line, Uozhu began to execute free throws.
Peng~shua~
The basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the basket, making the score 2+1.
It was Sanno's turn to attack. In order to prove himself, Kentaro Sakurai raised his hand for the ball again after getting stuck.
Fukatsu Kazunari couldn't help but look at Kashima Maple Shuang. Sakurai Kentaro was suppressed by Uozumi continuously, which made his confidence in this senior drop a lot.
"give him!"
Kashima Fengshuang nodded, he still trusted Kentaro Sakurai.
At Kashima Maple's signal, Fukatsu Kazunari once again lobbed the ball to Sakurai Kentaro.
Different from before, Kentaro Sakurai learned the lesson wisely. He did not go back to fight with fish, but turned around.
The difference was that at the moment he turned around, Kentaro Sakurai elbowed Yuzhu's chest without leaving any trace.
Before turning around, he specifically observed the referee's position.
Uozumi felt a pain in his chest, which inevitably made his body's reaction slow down.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kentaro Sakurai took the opportunity to complete the breakthrough, strode into the penalty area, jumped up and wanted to dunk.
Just when Kentaro Sakurai was about to succeed, Uozumi grabbed his shoulder from behind, prompting Kentaro Sakurai to fail in a dunk.
All~
The referee's whistle sounded.
After landing, Kentaro Sakurai staggered and quickly held on to the basketball stand before he stabilized himself.
"Asshole, you are deliberately trying to make things difficult for me!"
Kentaro Sakurai glared at Uozumi angrily. He finally had a chance to break through Uozumi and score, but he was destroyed by Uozumi again.
Although he got the chance to make a free throw, he felt really unhappy.
Peng~Peng~
I don’t know whether Kentaro Sakurai’s free throws were too bad or his mentality was affected. In short, he missed both free throws.
From the beginning of the game to now, Kentaro Sakurai still hasn't scored a point, which has actually given Lingnan the advantage in the score.
In the blink of an eye, it was Lingnan's turn to attack again.
Looking at Uozumi standing in front of him, Kentaro Sakurai was angry and at the same time panicked.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
For several consecutive rounds, he did not take advantage, but was completely suppressed by Yuzhu.
The two have similar styles, but Uozumi seems to be better than him in every aspect.
Just this little bit made him so suppressed that he had almost no power to fight back.
Under the tight defense of Sanwang, there were several passes from the outside, but there was still no chance.
The Mountain King is simply too powerful, especially in terms of lineup. Except for Yuzhu, Lingnan is at a disadvantage in the other four positions.
Seeing that there were less than ten seconds left in the attack time, Matsushita Asahi Ken had to pass the ball to Uozumi again.
This is also the plan of coach Domoto. He knows very well that Lingnan belongs to a one-man team. As long as Yuzhu is taken care of, Lingnan can be defeated.
Even though Kentaro Sakurai has difficulty restricting Uozumi, coach Domoto does not have high requirements for him, as long as he can quickly consume Uozumi's physical strength.
As long as the other players in Lingnan have trouble scoring, he doesn't believe Yuzhu can play the entire game.
This is a conspiracy, and coach Tian Gang actually knows it very well, but he can't do anything about it, because the five people on the field are already the best players in Lingnan.
If they don't even have a chance to show up, let alone others.
Yuzhu received the ball again, but he had no choice but to make him the only Lingnan player with a matchup advantage.
"Listen, I'm going to score from that position next!"
Uozumi grabbed the basketball with one hand and pointed to the side of the penalty area with the other hand, wanting to further attack his opponent's mentality.
"Just let it go... uh..."
Before Kentaro Sakurai could finish speaking, Uozumi quickly turned around.
Then, Kentaro Sakurai felt as if his chest had been hit by a hammer, feeling doubly painful.
He was elbowed!
"Ouch!"
Kentaro Sakurai's eyes widened. He felt an unbearable sharp pain in his chest, and felt that he almost died on the spot after being elbowed.
Of course, this was entirely his illusion. Yuzhu's elbow strikes had always been under good control, but they only hurt a lot.
Uozumi chose to use his own methods to retaliate. Since Kentaro Sakurai elbowed him, he would naturally return the favor.
In an instant, Kentaro Sakurai was caught by a fish like a wooden stake and completed his breakthrough in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, Yuzhu appeared at the position he just pointed at, taking off to shoot.
Huh~
The basketball went hollow into the basket, and the Lingnan team's lead increased by two points again.
Until this time, Kentaro Sakurai finally recovered.
"I already said I would score at this position, why don't you believe it!"
Uozumi specially passed by Kentaro Sakurai and continued to tease the other person's mentality.
Kentaro Sakurai stared at Uozumi's back angrily, and then immediately came to the referee and shouted: "Referee, he fouled, he elbowed me!"
The referee looked at Kentaro Sakurai like he was an idiot.
He didn't see it, so naturally he couldn't believe one side of the story, otherwise he might be in trouble.
"What I say is true, you have to believe me!"
Kentaro Sakurai was anxious and subconsciously blocked the referee's path.
The referee felt annoyed and put the whistle in his mouth.
"Sir, I'm sorry, he is mentally ill!"
When Kashima Maple Shuang saw something was wrong, she quickly apologized and pulled Sakurai Kentaro away.
"This time is just a warning, there will be no next time!"
The referee thought for a while and finally gave the nation's No. 1 high school student a face, but still gave Kentaro Sakurai a serious warning.
If Kentaro Sakurai challenges his authority again, it will definitely not end well.
"Damn it, I hate the new year!"
When the referee left, Kentaro Sakurai was furious and furious.
Kazunari Fukatsu and Minoru Matsumoto: Senior, don’t hurt innocent people!
Soon, after Sanno served the ball, Fukatsu Kazunari steadily dribbled the basketball and began to observe the situation.
This time, he ignored Kentaro Sakurai's initiative to ask for the ball and directly lobbed the ball to Kashima Maple Shuang.
Matsushita Xujian was very helpless. His height was still too short.
Sanno is already nearly ten points behind. Sanno must reduce the score as soon as possible, otherwise it may affect morale.
Facing Ikegami's defense, Kashima MapleShuang assumed a triple-threat stance.
Suddenly, Kashima Fengshuang moved without warning. His first step was very fast, and he wanted to pass by Ikegami.
However, Ikegami's reaction was not slow either, and he barely blocked Kashima Fengshuang's breakthrough direction.
Kashima Maple Shuang changed direction in front of her body, and with a strong explosive force, she broke through Ikegami from another direction.
Even though Ikegami had already reacted, his movements were still a beat slow, and Kashima Maple Shuang easily completed the breakthrough.
Kashima Fengshuang didn't stop and rushed straight towards the penalty area.
Uozumi immediately blocked Kentaro Sakurai behind him and was ready to help defend at any time.
At this time, Ikegami quickly returned to defense the moment he was broken through. However, even if Kashima Maple Shuang was dribbling the basketball, his speed was still not inferior to him, and he could never shorten the distance between the two.
Kashima Fengshuang's speed and explosive power are so outstanding that even Matsushita Asahi Ken may not be able to beat him. He can only be said to be the ace of the Mountain King and the number one high school student in the country.
Seeing that Kashima Fengshuang was about to break into the restricted area, Uozumi immediately dropped Kentaro Sakurai, took a big step, and blocked Kashima Fengshuang.
In the process, he raised his right hand high and opened his other hand, standing at the edge of the penalty area.
While moving at high speed, Kashima Maple Shuang immediately made a fake move to pass the ball. Because his fake move was so realistic, Uozumi subconsciously moved his steps.
By the time Uozumi realized that this was a fake move, Kashima Maple Shuang had already completed the breakthrough and was unable to stop him. He could only watch helplessly as the opponent scored a layup.
Yuzhu shook his head, there was nothing he could do about it.
He would rather let Kashima MapleShuang score than Kentaro Sakurai score. Otherwise, once Kentaro Sakurai gains confidence, it will not be good.
Even though Kentaro Sakurai was suppressed miserably by him, if he was in better condition, he might not be able to continue to suppress him like he is now.
The difference between the Lingnan team's offense and just now is that Uozumi did not continue to play singles and began to actively engage in pick-and-rolls with Yu Ozawa.
With his current physical strength, it will be difficult to sustain the singles for too long.
In addition, teammates will feel cold if they don't have a chance to shoot for a long time.
He must cooperate with his teammates. Among the four teammates present, only Yusaku Ozawa has the smallest disadvantage.
The first-year Matsumoto Minoru has just reached the threshold of a top player. His strength is not much better than Yusaku Ozawa's, and he is even more offensively strong and defensively weak. Coupled with the advantage in experience, Ozawa Yusaku can be effective as long as he plays with confidence. Relieve the scoring pressure of Yuzhu.
Using Uozumi's pick and roll, Ozawa Yusaku took the opportunity to break through.
Since Minoru Matsumoto was blocked by Uozumi's huge size, Kentaro Sakurai had to choose to switch defenses.
Kentaro Sakurai is not slow in pace and has rich experience. He always maintains a certain distance from Yusaku Ozawa in his position to avoid being broken through by the opponent.
Ozawa Yusaku hurriedly passed the ball to Uozumi, while he ran to the other side.
Uozumi caught the ball, ignored Minoru Matsumoto who changed defense, and lobbed the ball to Yusaku Ozawa, who temporarily got rid of Kentaro Sakurai.
Without hesitation, Ozawa Yusaku made a move and easily scored two points.
In the following time, Uozhu obviously increased his cooperation with his teammates and played team basketball. It seemed not as efficient as his singles, but it effectively relieved his pressure.
Unlike Lingnan, Shanwang relies more on the players' personal abilities.
Kashima Maple Shuang singles, Matsumoto Minoru singles, Fukatsu Kazunari strong attack, the outside advantage is very obvious.
However, when the halftime break came, Lingnan still firmly held the score advantage.
47:52
The king of the mountain is in front, and Lingnan is in the back.
The audience did not expect that after the first half, Lingnan actually took the advantage in the score.
This surprised them so much.
Originally, they thought that in the first half, Lingnan could only score points at most, but in the end, the score actually suppressed the Mountain King.
The reason is simple. Lingnan has the opening advantage, and their inside line is stronger. They are better than Sanno Industrial in secondary offense and rebounding.
Toyo Inoue's overall strength is definitely not as good as Yoon Toyo, but he is a blue-collar insider who specializes in defense. The key is that the latter has not reached the stage of a top player, and his independent offensive ability is not as good as other Sanno starting players, so his advantage is not very big.
As for Kentaro Sakurai, he was completely suppressed by Uozumi on both offense and defense.
However, Uozumi cannot completely limit Kentaro Sakurai's scoring.
Even so, Kentaro Sakurai only scored 4 points in the half, and his shooting percentage was extremely low.
As a center, his shooting percentage was only 30%, and he was suppressed by Yuzhu.
Compared with Kentaro Sakurai, Uozumi scored 30+10 in halftime.
Even if it's only halftime, it's enough to make the suspense about the No. 1 high school center in the country disappear.
The audience is not blind. Kentaro Sakurai cannot compare with Uozumi in terms of scenes or statistics.
After halftime, Lingnan took advantage of the score. At this moment, both the coach and the players of Lingnan became excited.
They saw the possibility of defeating the Mountain King.
However, Uozumi, who was eating bananas to replenish his energy, didn't think so.
He is very aware of the advantages of Sanwang, and also knows the trump card of Sanwang - the full-court press.
Likewise, he also knows how to break the press.
However, Yuzhu looked at his teammates and found to his chagrin that his teammates did not seem to meet the requirements to break the press, especially not having an excellent point guard.
Coach Tianoka also calmed down quickly. He has always been a pragmatic coach.
"Uozumi, can the second half continue?"
After laying out the tactics, coach Tian Gang focused on Yuzhu.
Facing Sanno Industrial, it is not an exaggeration to say that Lingnan is a one-man team.
Without Yuzhu, not only would Lingnan not be able to gain a score advantage, but he would also be completely crushed by the Mountain King. After all, the hard power of the two teams is there.
At the same time, Coach Taoka sincerely hopes that Uozumi can maintain his condition.
Once Yuzhu is in poor condition, it will be a devastating blow to Lingnan.
However, coach Taoka is full of confidence in Uozumi at this point.
Because from the beginning of the national competition to now, Uozumi's condition has been very good, unlike his teammates who have ups and downs.
"Coach, I can still play the entire second half!"
Compared with a month ago, Yuzhu's physical fitness has improved a lot.
As long as you maintain good condition, it is not difficult to play the entire game.
After receiving Uozumi's assurance, Coach Taoka felt relieved. He began to pick up the tactical board and lay out the tactics for the second half, including various methods to break the full-court press.
He knew very well that Sanno Industrial would definitely launch a full-court press in the second half.
Not long after, the intermission ended.
The two teams continued to play.
Sanno Industrial started to serve, and Kashima MapleShuang broke through Ikegami again and easily hit the mid-range shot, reducing the score to three points.
However, the Sanwang players did not return to the half court, but stayed in the frontcourt. They stared closely at the Lingnan players, but they launched a full-court press.
