At 3:30 pm the next day, Kanagawa Center Gymnasium. At this moment, the Kanagawa Division Finals are in full swing.
Two teams are fighting on the court, they are Lingnan and Buri. At this point, the first half has ended and the second half is now underway.
Judging from the score on the field, Lingnan has clearly gained the upper hand, and the point difference has widened to double digits.
However, Buri did not give up and tried his best to narrow the gap. On the Lingnan bench, coach Tian Gang said to Harunami Liting on the side:
"Chun Shang, I want to take a look at the current data of the players on both sides!" Recording the data of the players on both sides is one of the jobs of the basketball manager. Chun Shang Liting hurriedly handed over the notebook in her hand.
The first line records data about fish residence. 14 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 6 blocks and 3 steals, these are the statistics of the Fish in the first half.
In the first half, Yuzhu only scored 12 points, which was very different from before. However, Uozumi was not restricted by the Watanabe brothers, which can be seen from his high hit rate of 70%.
The reason why Uozumi scores so few points is mainly because he is consciously limiting his performance on the offensive end.
After the battle with Xiangyang, Uozumi's scoring average has exceeded 40 points per game, while the Kanagawa division average is only over 35 points per game. If the scoring is too high, it will be more difficult to set the scoring average record next year. Increasing it is not conducive to brushing potential points.
In addition, Uozumi is also saving his energy, because after the Kanagawa divisional competition is over, the winter national competition will be held soon after.
Under this circumstance, Uozumi began to focus more on the defensive end, especially limiting the performance of Masao Watanabe.
Although Watanabe Masayasu is also very strong, he is not as good as his brother Watanabe Masao after all. It’s not that Masao Watanabe didn’t resist, it was just that under Uozumi’s defense, he played very hard, with a hit rate of less than 40%. He even ate Uozumi’s four hot pots, and his whole body was photographed. Senseless.
He had faced up to the gap between himself and Yuzhu, and occasionally challenged Yuzhu to a duel, but he did not expect that the gap between him and Yuzhu would widen again, which shocked him and made him feel very frustrated at the same time.
During the county competition, even if there was a gap between him and Uozumi, it was not very big after all. Now more than half a year has passed, and the gap between the two has widened to such a wide extent.
In the first half, although Uozumi rarely attacked, Watanabe Masao could clearly feel the gap between the two, and he could not limit Uozumi's performance at all.
On the defensive end, he was so blocked by Yuzhu that he almost lost his way. With Masao Watanabe being restricted, Masayasu Watanabe had to shoulder the offensive responsibility.
As for Koichiro Nohara, he only gets 20 points per game. No more points will be enough. His offensive ability needs to be further developed.
In this game, coach Taoka specially arranged for Ikegami to mark Nohara Koichiro. The two have similar physical qualities, but Nohara Koichiro's mid-range shots are sometimes ineffective. Under the restrictions of Ikegami, his shooting rate is worrying.
As a result, Buri's scoring pressure is entirely on Watanabe Masayasu. As one of the top power forwards in Kanagawa, Watanabe Masayasu is still very strong, but his scoring explosiveness is not outstanding.
The other players in Lingnan also stared at their opponents. Buri's small forward and shooting guard are both role players. Naturally, they will not perform well under the marking of Lingnan players.
Without the support of Masao Watanabe, Masayasu Watanabe seemed to be struggling alone. He was out of breath after just the first half.
From the beginning to the end, Yuzumi spared no effort on the defensive end, and even kept pestering Masao Watanabe, trying not to give him a chance to perform.
For a long time, Buri has relied on the strength of the twin towers inside to become one of Kanagawa's strongest teams, but as long as this link is cut off, Buri will be half useless.
Of course, ordinary teams cannot do this at all, not Hainan, not Xiangyang, and currently only Lingnan in Kanagawa seems to have such ability.
This is related to the strength of the Watanabe brothers. If you want to completely restrict one of them, you must crush the other party in all aspects.
With Masao Watanabe being targeted by Yuzhi, the Watanabe brothers' exquisite cooperation was obviously curbed. This is another reason why Buri lags behind Lingnan.
Compared with Buri, Lingnan's offense is much simpler. Even if Yuzhu's offensive desire is not high, as long as he gets the ball, he can often attract double teams.
In this way, he only needs to distribute the ball, and he may assist his teammates to score. Uozumi's assist awareness and passing ability have reached a good level, which is the main reason why he was able to get 6 assists in the first half.
If he cannot attract double teams, Uozumi will play Masao Watanabe in singles. His singles efficiency is too high, forcing Takeri to double teams.
Even in the second half, Uozumi still did not relax. With his outstanding performance, Lingnan further widened the point difference with Buri.
This is not to say that Buri is not as strong as Xiangyang, but to a certain extent, Buri, with the inside as the core, is restrained by Lingnan.
This is indeed the case. As Masao Watanabe becomes invisible, Masayasu Watanabe becomes more and more tired, and Buri's offensive efficiency shows a downward trend.
On the other hand, Lingnan players benefited from Yuzhu's ability to attract double-teams, and their efficiency did not decrease but increased. In addition, Lingnan also has a rebounding advantage.
Time passed slowly, until the end of the game, Buri never saw the dawn of defeating Lingnan, and was eventually defeated by Lingnan. Yuzhu even ended the game early with three minutes left in the game, because at that time the point difference between the two sides had exceeded 20 point.
In this game, Yuzhu scored a near-quadruple-double of 22 points, 20 rebounds, 11 assists, 8 blocks and 5 steals.
If Masao Watanabe hadn't learned the lesson and continued to play Uozumi in singles, otherwise Uozumi's blocks might have reached double figures, and he would have gotten a quadruple-double.
In the history of the three major competitions, including the county competition and the winter divisional competition, no player has ever achieved a quadruple-double.
Although it is a pity that he did not get a quadruple-double, Uozumi still made history because he got a record of 5+5+5+5+5, and an even rarer historical record of triple-double+5+5, which reflects his comprehensiveness. .
If you put it in the NBA, there is only one person who can achieve triple-double +5+5, and that is Olajuwon. Even Joe, Dan, and I have not achieved it.
In addition, a near-four-double can be considered a record, which can be said to be an unexpected surprise. In this way, Yuzhu gained 3 special potential points and 6 ordinary potential points.
After the Kanagawa Division Finals, the next step is the usual awards ceremony. Uozumi is not expecting this, because it means that another amount of potential points is about to be received.
