Uozumi pulled Tajiri Shigeru up from the floor and said: "Man, you work too hard, you can easily get hurt!"
"I can't do it without fighting!"
Tajiri Shigeru stopped talking, buried his head and rushed towards the frontcourt.
Uozumi hurriedly followed. Although Tajiri Shigeru was not strong on the defensive end, he was still very threatening on the offensive end.
Big pitchers are always a threat.
At this time, the Osaka team had already launched a fast break.
Kishimoto served quickly, and all the other Osaka players entered a sprint state.
This caught Kanagawa off guard, and Asakura Tianyu finally succeeded in getting rid of Masao Watanabe and hit an open mid-range shot.
Watanabe Masao was very upset. Compared with Asakura Tianyu, his speed was slightly inferior.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Coach Kaneda did not make targeted arrangements, and I don’t know what he thought. It may also be related to his coaching ability.
Kanagawa's offense, this time, Uozumi took the initiative to step forward and set up a screen for Mu Sen.
As soon as Mu Shen broke through with the ball, Jun Tsuchiya tried to block it, but was blocked solidly by Uozumi.
As soon as Mu Shen took the opportunity to hold the ball and get down quickly, he was very fast and rushed towards the paint area.
Tajiri Shigeru quickly changed defense. Facing Tajiri Shigeru's defense, Maki Shinichi used his best scoring method to carry Tajiri Shigeru into the paint area.
During this process, Makotoichi felt secretly happy. Tajiri Shigeru was the worst center he had ever encountered since entering high school.
However, Tajiri Shigeru was very tenacious and had the energy to never admit defeat, so he kept pestering Mu Shen.
In the blink of an eye, Mu Shen made a close shot.
Unexpectedly, Tajiri Shigeru jumped up regardless of the serious tilt of his center of gravity, trying to interfere with Maki Shinichi's shooting.
Bang~
Mu Shinichi's shot was affected, and eventually the basketball hit the rim and bounced in the direction of Jun Tsuchiya.
Tsuchiya Jun felt happy and wanted to catch the basketball.
Just at this moment, Uozumi came to him.
In the confrontation, Tsuchiya Chun was completely defeated.
No matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't shake Yuzhu's center of gravity. Instead, he was squeezed by Yuzhu and almost fell to the ground.
Uozumi caught the ball with both hands, and Tsuchiya Jun stretched out his hand to steal it, but Uozumi quickly half-turned around and squatted on his butt.
"Ouch!"
Chun Tsuchiya screamed and felt an overwhelming force coming towards him. Not only did he fall to the floor, he was dragged along the floor for a meter before he stopped.
When he stopped, Jun Tsuchiya felt that his butt no longer felt like his own.
After interrupting Tsuchiya Jun's harassment, Uozumi took a big step and entered the paint area instantly as if there was no one around.
Seeing Uozumi preparing for a layup, Tajiri Shigeru, who had just stood up from the ground, rushed over without hesitation, regardless of the danger.
"This guy is simply desperate!"
While Uozumi was speechless, he was also impressed by Tajiri Shigeru's competitive spirit.
This guy is completely desperate, isn't he afraid of getting hurt?
However, Uozumi still did not slow down the pace of layups.
Unlike Mu Shenyi, he was two or three levels behind in terms of tonnage alone, and Tajiri Shigeru had no chance of stopping him.
Huh~
Uozumi succeeded in a layup, but Tajiri Shigeru fell to the ground.
Toot~
The referee made a gesture to block the foul and signaled Yuzhu to add a penalty kick.
"Man, as a center, confrontation is very important. Your confrontation is too poor, even if you try your best, it won't help!"
Before going to the free throw line, Uozumi once again pulled Tajiri off the floor.
Tajiri Shigeru replied helplessly: "I also want to gain weight, but my physique is a bit special and I can't gain weight."
Uozumi patted Tajiri Shigeru's thin shoulder. His frame was slender, and he would not be very strong even if he was exposed to flesh.
"Haha, those girls will be jealous to death. Let me give you a suggestion. You can try other positions and don't hang yourself at the center position."
Uozumi gave a suggestion and immediately came to the free throw line to execute the free throw.
He has just seen Tajiri Shigeru's sprint speed. His agility is definitely at the level of a small forward. If combined with height and touch, he can definitely become an excellent pitcher. The representative figure is the future Shubao Du.
Of course, the current schoolbag Du might not have even gone to kindergarten yet.
Bang~
At the free throw line, Yuzhu was not very lucky. The basketball bounced off the backboard and was grabbed by Asakura Tianyu.
"Quick attack!"
As soon as Asakura Tianyu reminded him, he immediately passed the ball to Nanlie, and then quickly dribbled the ball forward.
Almost at the same time, the other Osaka players also charged.
This time, Watanabe Masayasu returned to defense in time, but still could not prevent Osaka from scoring.
The Osaka team just used a simple cross screen, and a loophole appeared in the Kanagawa team. Mitsui and Aso both chased the same Osaka player.
After all, the cooperation between them is not tacit enough.
As a result, another Osaka player became available.
By the time Taro Aso tried to pounce, it was already too late, and Kishimoto succeeded in an open mid-range shot.
Uozumi is also helpless. Tajiri Shigeru has a good sense of teamwork and has been running around the three-point line with Uozumi. He can't let him go.
"Watanabe-senpai, let's switch defenses!"
Compared with Tajiri Shigeru, although Asakura Tianyu is stronger, his attack range is not as large as Tajiri Shigeru, so Uozumi can hope to launch a defensive defense.
"OK!"
Masao Watanabe agreed.
Soon, Kanagawa made a comeback.
In the following period, Yuzhu began to exert strength on the offensive end. The run-and-gun tactics originally focused on offense, and most of the energy was focused on offense.
Therefore, Uozumi faces little defensive pressure and often just needs to defeat Tajiri Shigeru.
For Uozumi, the Osaka team adopted a run-and-gun tactic, and he was simply at home on the offensive end, unable to contain him at all.
On the defensive end, Uozumi and Masao Watanabe switched defenses, specifically focusing on Asakura Tenyu, and would assist in defense whenever an opportunity arose.
This is the current fish residence. If it is a month of fish residence, it may be difficult to achieve.
In terms of speed, Asakura Tenyu is not as good as Tajiri Shigeru, and the attack range is not large enough. This gives him the opportunity to assist in defense, causing the Osaka team's efficiency to begin to be compromised.
As one goes down and the other goes up, the point difference between the two sides gradually widens.
Coach Kitano saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, and made arrangements for this, hoping to limit the performance of Yuzhu on both offense and defense.
Unfortunately, the effect is not very good.
Before you know it, very quickly, the first half is over.
55:46
The gap between the two sides has opened up by nearly ten points. This is because the Osaka team feels good, otherwise the point difference will inevitably widen even more.
On the Osaka bench, coach Kitano frowned and tried hard to think of countermeasures.
There is not much time left for him. If he loses this game, he will probably be dismissed from the school.
Feeling the look of Coach Kitano, Nanlie and Kishimoto couldn't help but look at each other.
There was a bit more worry in their eyes. Before participating in the Autumn National Sports Competition, they had heard the news that Coach Kitano would probably be fired from the school if he failed to win the semi-finals in the Autumn National Sports Competition.
Kishimoto wanted to share the pressure with Coach Kitano and couldn't help asking: "Nan Lie, how do you think we can beat Kanagawa?"
Nan Lie's eyes couldn't help but fall on Yuzhu opposite him. His eyes flickered and he said in a deep voice: "Unless Yuzhu is taken down!"
In fact, Nan Lie's mood fluctuated, but he was still unable to make up his mind.
But as long as Coach Kitano can continue to coach Toyotama, Nanlie is willing to do anything.
"Uozumi has only committed one foul so far. It's too difficult to get him down. No, you don't want to..."
Kishimoto reacted quickly, and then he stared at Nan Lie closely.
"That's what you think!"
"Hey, Nanlie, no matter what, Yuzhu is our friend!"
Unlike Nan Lie, even Kishimoto in his drama years is a bit more arrogant and will not actually hurt anyone intentionally on the field.
"But if we don't do this, do you think we can win?"
Nanlie's voice was filled with anxiety.
Kishimoto opened his mouth, unable to say anything to refute.
Yuzhu is too stable. The key is that he knows very well that Yuzhu has not fully exerted his strength, especially on the scoring end.
Even so, Yuzhu easily scored 20+ points in the first half.
Once Uozumi fully exerts his strength and the Osaka team cannot limit it, the consequences can be imagined.
"Nan Lie, have you ever thought about it, this is contrary to the coach's coaching philosophy!"
Kishimoto firmly disagrees. Coach Kitano has always advocated happy basketball.
"But if we lose the game, Coach Kitano may be fired by the school."
Faced with Nan Lie's doubts, Kishimoto didn't say anything. He just looked behind Nan Lie blankly.
Nan Lie felt strange, turned around and saw that it was Coach Kitano, which shocked Nan Lie.
At this time, Coach Kitano looked very serious.
Nan Lie rarely saw Coach Kitano so serious, which also made Nan Lie a little scared.
"Nan Lie, what is the battle flag slogan of our Fengtama Basketball Club?"
"effort!"
Nanyeol responded. In recent years, in order to advance further in the national competition, Team Toyotama changed its slogan to "hard work."
"As long as we work hard for it, even if we lose the game in the end, I will feel relieved. If it doesn't work this time, then next time, this is the charm of basketball competition.
However, if you deliberately injure the opponent's players for the purpose and win the game by such despicable means, this goes against the original intention of basketball competition.
This is a high school league, not a professional league. I hope you can be more pure and not participate in the game with utilitarianism. That is not suitable for you. "
Coach Kitano gave Nan Lie a lesson, and then continued: "What's more, the game is not over yet!
Our lineup is indeed not as good as our opponent's, but we also have our own advantages. It's not certain who will win or lose.
The outcome has yet to be decided, so don’t give up until the last moment! "
After Coach Kitano finished speaking, he patted Nan Lie on the shoulder and sat back on the bench, leaving Nan Lie alone in thought.
