Xiangyang's efficiency was already very high, but in just five minutes, Lingnan still opened a double-digit gap.
In addition to Yuzhu's singles efficiency being high enough, it is also closely related to rebounding.
The inside combination of Uozumi + Naito has a great rebounding advantage, at least much better than Hanagata + Kishimoto.
Even though the entire Xiangyang team was fighting for rebounds, they were still obviously not as good as the Lingnan team. Some things cannot be accomplished by working hard.
All~
"Thug No. 11 of the blue team fouled, and No. 4 of the green team made an additional free throw."
At this time, the referee blew the whistle again.
On the court, Fujima lay on the floor and breathed a sigh of relief.
Naito looked at his right hand blankly and couldn't help shaking his head. This was his fourth foul, and it was the result of his efforts to control the foul.
In the final analysis, Naito's competition experience is still too expensive.
In order to prevent Naito from worrying about gains and losses, coach Taoka replaced him with Toyoyoshi Inoue.
"Everyone, come on, we still have a chance!"
Fujima was encouraging at the right time, and the morale of his teammates instantly rose.
At the free throw line, Fujizhen easily made the ball.
Soon, Xiangyang once again faced the unscrupulous attack of Uozumi.
This time, Xiangyang once again implemented a five-man double-team. In their subconscious, they believed that Uozhu would not pass the ball.
Unfortunately, Uozumi jumped up and took advantage of his absolute "air superiority" to easily transfer the ball.
Bang~
Toyoyoshi Inoue dunked as soon as he came on the court, scoring two points for Lingnan.
At this moment, the Xiangyang players looked at me and I looked at you, all filled with helplessness, which meant that they could no longer double-team as unscrupulously as before.
The game was still going on. In order to reduce the score as quickly as possible, Xiangyang implemented a three-point shooting tactic.
Fujima and Nan Lie covered each other, and finally Nan Lie had a chance in the right corner. Fujima passed the ball at the right time, and Nan Lie caught the ball and shot.
Sendao was a beat slow, but he was lucky, and the shot ended in a strike.
At the first moment, the Xiangyang team wanted to compete for offensive rebounds.
Uozumi stood in the penalty area, like a divine help, predicting the landing point of the basketball. While blocking the flower shape behind, he relaxed his arms and easily grabbed the rebound.
This was his 23rd rebound of the game.
If nothing else, he is bound to break the single-game rebounding record again today.
Just because the record was broken last time, the rewards are not many, but mosquito meat is also meat and cannot be wasted.
Xiangyang was afraid that Yu Zhu would charge with the ball, so he had already retreated to defend.
Seeing that there was no chance for a fast break, Uozumi passed the ball to Sendō and slowly walked towards the frontcourt.
Huhu~
Hanagata was sweating profusely and breathing heavily. He was too tired.
In this game, he was on the same level as Uozumi, which means that he stayed on the court except for the halftime break.
Coach Kitano is also helpless. He knows very well that once Hanagata is replaced, Xiangyang will undoubtedly become very dangerous.
Without Hanagata involving Uozumi on the offensive end, Uozumi's defense will be completely liberated. Not to mention that Hanagata is the tallest player in Shoyang, so it will be harder for the other centers to restrict Uozumi.
Regardless of offense or defense, Hanagata is Xiangyang's best center.
Sendō tilted his butt slightly and dribbled sideways, not giving Fujima the chance to steal.
He still delayed for 20 seconds before passing the ball to Yuzhu.
For Uozumi, the remaining 10 seconds are enough to complete an attack.
Hanagata lowered his center of gravity, but there was no sign of Uozumi hitting him from behind. Uozumi easily broke through him with a flexible turn.
Facing Kishimoto and Hasegawa who were assisting in defense, Uozumi made a ground pass and passed the ball to Ikegami.
Huh~
Chi Shang raised his knife and easily hit a three-pointer.
"How to fight later??"
The Xiangyang players sighed. Defending Yuzhu alone would definitely not work, but double-teaming him would not work either. Yuzhu's organizational awareness and passing skills were both above average.
"Don't be discouraged, everyone, there are still four minutes left, we Xiangyang may not lose to Lingnan!"
Fujima once again stepped forward to boost morale, but this time the effect was much worse, and it seemed that he was going to lose his momentum again.
He must boost the morale of his teammates, otherwise Xiangyang will have no chance.
Therefore, in this round of offense, Fujima used his unprecedented strength and made a three-pointer towards Ikegami, finally bringing the score back.
To his despair, Uozumi continued to wreak havoc in the penalty area and scored easily, giving people a feeling of ease.
However, Fujima did not give up. Under his leadership, Xiangyang launched a counterattack.
The frequency of Xiangyang's three-pointers has increased significantly. They plan to use three-pointers to narrow the point difference or even overtake the score.
Of course, this requires a hot enough touch.
Because even though Naito was off the court, Lingnan's rebounds still suppressed Xiangyang, just because Yuzumi was on the court.
Due to the King of the Fourth Quarter badge, Uozumi can always detect the landing point of the rebound immediately. This is probably the hidden effect of this badge.
It didn’t take long for Yuzhu’s rebound count to break the record he had set last year.
In addition, Uozumi's score has also reached 50 points. Judging from his current scoring efficiency, this is likely to be another 60-point night, while Kanagawa's single-game scoring record is only 53 points.
Fujima and Nan Lie had a hot three-point touch, and they hit three three-pointers in a row, which narrowed the score to single digits.
Not long after, Fujima cooperated with Nanlie again and passed the ball to Nanlie, hoping to repeat the same trick.
However, Uozumi was prepared in advance. When Fujima passed the ball, he immediately abandoned the flower shape and pounced on Nanlie.
Nan Lie subconsciously raised his hand to pre-shoot. When he found Yuzhu rushing towards him crazily, he was obviously startled and wanted to pass the ball.
Pa~
Uozumi anticipated his thoughts and took advantage of his long arms to steal the ball and at the same time, he picked up the basketball and rushed forward.
Just like before, Uozumi, who had already charged up, was still unstoppable and succeeded with an easy quick attack.
In the remaining time, Uozumi began to dominate both offense and defense. With a hit rate of over 70%, Xiangyang completely lost the chance to turn around.
When the electronic sound symbolizing the end of the game sounded, some Xiangyang players stood on the court in despair, while others sat on the ground, staring at the big screen with dull eyes.
<
As a team that mainly uses run-and-gun tactics, they only scored 82 points in the game, and were almost defeated by Lingnan by 20 points.
For them, this is undoubtedly a blow.
They signed up to form a team to form F4, but they still couldn't beat Lingnan. It was so sad that such a strong lineup could not win a regional championship.
Contrary to the Xiangyang players, the Lingnan players cheered and celebrated for a while.
In this game, Uozhu once again achieved dominant data.
