The Xiangyang team's support group is still the same as before, wearing the same uniforms, drinking bottles, and beating the same rhythm, and the momentum is very huge.
However, the audience supporting Lingnan is no less than Xiangyang.
The Lingnan School Committee also organized a large number of students to cheer for the Lingnan team. They also occupied an auditorium and fought against the Xiangyang support group.
For a while, no one could suppress the other.
In the audience, Akagi, who had just taken his seat, couldn't help but asked Mitsui: "Mitsui, who do you think will win?"
Mitsui hesitated for a moment and replied: "It's hard to say. Each side has its own advantages, and both sides have the possibility of winning. But I am more optimistic about Lingnan!"
"Me too!"
As Mitsui's little fanboy, Mu Mu Gongyan naturally agreed.
Akagi:……
Not long after, the warm-up was over!
Both sides began to send out their starting lineups.
Lingnan sent out Uozumi, Ikegami, Sasagi Oribe, Ozawa Yusaku and Matsushita Asahiken. The main reason for using this lineup was to avoid being beaten into a fast break by Xiangyang.
As we all know, Coach Kitano’s most common use is the run-and-gun tactic.
On the other side, Xiangyang’s lineup is as follows:
Center: Toru Hanagata, 195cm, 85kg, first grade
Ohmae: Taro Aso, 185cm, 82kg, third grade
Komae: Ichimatsushima, 180cm, 78kg, third grade
Shooting guard: Kimura Yuya, 176 cm, 72 kg, third grade
Point Guard: Kenji Fujima, 177cm, 70kg, first grade
Unlike Shoyo coached by Coach Kaneda, Hanagata was appreciated by Coach Kitano and truly became a starting player instead of playing the sixth and seventh players like before.
This is also the result of coach Kitano's formation. Xiangyang's starting lineup all has shooting ability, and the defensive level is also in the passing ranks.
In the jumping ball stage, Uozumi pressed the pattern and beat the ball to Asahi Ken Matsushita first.
However, the moment Matsushita Asahi Ken caught the ball, Fujima rushed forward and got entangled with Matsushita Asahi Ken.
"God's Coming"
During the entanglement, Fujima entered the confrontation. Asahi Ken Matsushita was not prepared, and his dribbling rhythm obviously changed. In the blink of an eye, Fujima completed the steal.
Without hesitation, Fujima immediately picked up the basketball and rushed to the frontcourt.
At this time, the Lingnan players had just passed halftime. As they did not expect that Asahi Ken Matsushita would be intercepted, by the time they reacted, they were unable to catch up. They could only watch as Fujima scored a layup, taking the lead for Xiangyang. Scored two points.
"Teng is so much better at fighting!"
Uozumi couldn't help but shook his head. With adequate nutrition and targeted training, Fujima's height and weight had increased significantly compared with the county competition, let alone the confrontation.
Although he is still far behind Mu Shinichi, he is no longer easily knocked away like in the county competition. If the opponent is a small man like Matsushita Asahi, he can still use his weight to gain the upper hand.
At this moment, Fujima could feel Mu Shenyi's 'happiness'.
"Panasonic, if that doesn't work, just dribble sideways!"
In order to reduce the possibility of Panasonic Asahi sword being intercepted, Ozawa Yusaku had to give a reminder.
"Got it, Captain."
Matsushita Xujian was also very depressed. He did not expect that he would fall off the chain at the beginning.
Soon, Lingnan started serving.
Lingnan still focuses on positional warfare, and the pace is relatively slow. In addition to not wanting to be led by Xiangyang, he also hopes to reduce the number of rounds.
Uozumi slowly came to the frontcourt and quickly occupied the low position.
At the same time, other players in Lingnan took action. They quickly dispersed and pulled away the opposing players.
All Lingnan's starting lineup has COSCO shooting ability.
Taro Aso was very depressed. He had top-level help and could wipe Hanagata's butt from time to time, but at this moment he had to follow Ikegami.
Ikegami's three-pointers are becoming more and more accurate. How can he let the opponent go, otherwise he may be thrown into the three-pointer by the opponent.
Fujima continued to harass Asahi Ken Matsushita, which made the latter unbearable and had to dribble sideways to avoid being intercepted by the opponent again.
When there were ten seconds left in the attack time, Asahi Ken Matsushita finally found a gap and successfully passed the ball to Yuzhu.
The moment he caught the ball with both hands, Uozhu leaned forward.
Peng ~
Hanagata's eyes widened, and even though he was ready, his body still couldn't stop retreating.
Although he is a flexible center, Hanata is not weak in confrontation and is not afraid of confrontation. In this regard, he is not inferior to Takasago.
"His confrontation is stronger again!"
Hanagata is very envious. He also wants to have a strong confrontation ability like Uozumi, but he knows very well that the two sides are not of the same type, and his direction of progress should be Sugiyama Shota.
Peng ~
After trying, Uozumi launched a back attack again, and this time, Hanagata was easily knocked away.
Uozhu quickly turned around to complete the breakthrough, rushed to the basket and hit a monkey boss slam dunk.
The whole process is smooth and smooth, giving people a feeling of hard work.
Hanaxing couldn't help but rub her chest. After just carrying it twice, there were bursts of pain in her chest.
The thought of the game continuing against Uozumi makes Hanagata feel pessimistic about his future.
The current Hanagata is like Duncan, and there is a monster like Uozumi in Kanagawa, and he is becoming more and more resistant to the center position.
"Captain Aso is about to enter high school. If possible, he must try to win the power forward position next year."
Hanagata silently made up his mind, saying that he didn't want to continue to fight Uozumi no matter what. If this whole fight continued, he might lose half his life.
"Hanagata, what are you doing standing still? Hurry up and serve!"
At this time, Fujima's voice sounded.
In order to avoid being beaten into a fast break by Xiangyang, Yuzhu immediately led the Lingnan players back to defense after scoring a slam dunk.
Due to Hanagata's confusion, Xiangyang lost the opportunity for a fast break.
However, Xiangyang's hard power is there. It's best to have fast breaks, but it's okay not to have them.
In the blink of an eye, Xiangyang quickly launched an attack.
In just a few seconds, using an off-ball screen, Aso temporarily got rid of Ikegami.
On the other side, Hanagata pulled Uozumi aside.
Fearing Hanagata's projection ability, Uozumi didn't dare to leave too far.
Fujima immediately passed the ball, and Taro Aso caught the ball and shot, easily scoring two points.
It was Lingnan's turn to attack, exactly the same as in the previous round. Even though Hanagata took the initiative to lower his center of gravity, he was still helpless against Uozumi and could only watch as Uozumi scored easily.
"Songdao, we will change defense in a moment!"
Aso Taro frowned, he knew very well that if this continued, it would be very detrimental to Xiangyang.
They must target Yuzhu. While reducing Yuzhu's efficiency, they must further increase his consumption, making double-teaming inevitable.
In fact, Xiangyang is not without human shields. For example, Xiangyang's Junichiro Nozawa weighs 95 kilograms, but if he is allowed to play, Xiangyang's running and gunning may not be possible.
What's more, Junichiro Nozawa is too slow and does not have the ability to shoot from long range. Although his confrontation is strong, he is no different from a wooden stake to Uozumi.
Instead of doing this, it is better to use a flower shape. At least the flower shape can draw away fish on the defensive end.
Even so, this is still a long way from Coach Kitano's requirements. He prefers to have a center like Shota Sugiyama, and the requirements are not small.
Well, he's thinking shit!
