Soon, the pause ends.
The two sides came on stage again, with the Hainan team holding the ball.
After Amu passed half the ball with the ball, Ming Gaoguang hurriedly stepped forward to pick and roll, blocking Mitsui.
By the time Mitsui bypassed Nagokou, it was already too late, and he could only hope that Akagi could stop Amu.
Akagi immediately chose to switch defense and quickly rushed towards Amu.
Amu stopped suddenly, then restarted, taking advantage of the difference in rhythm to successfully break through Akagi and strode into the penalty area.
In an instant, Amu jumped up, apparently wanting to go for a layup.
"Don't even think about it!"
Akagi jumped up behind Amu and wanted to hit a nail board.
Unexpectedly, Amu seemed to have eyes in his back. He pulled the lever in mid-air and switched hands for a layup.
Pa~
Akagi was unable to stop his attack in time and slapped Amu on the arm with his right hand.
All~
The referee's whistle sounded.
In mid-air, Amu tried his best to maintain his balance and lightly hooked his left hand.
Peng~shua~
The basketball first hit the backboard and then bounced into the basket.
A Mu landed on the ground, staggered a bit, and finally regained his footing, with a smile on his face.
At this time, Mitsui suddenly said softly: "Akagi, you have to be careful. I think Hainan is unscrupulous and wants to cause a foul to force you to end!"
"Mitsui, I will be careful!"
Chimu replied angrily.
Mitsui is more reassured. Akagi now has rich experience in competitions and is no longer the 'little kid' he was last year. He plays relatively rationally. As long as he doesn't get into trouble, it will be difficult for Hainan to succeed.
Shohoku team's offense, Akagi once again received a pass from Mitsui.
However, the moment Akagi caught the ball, Amu and Takasago immediately teamed up with Gao Guang to double-team Akagi.
Akagi is not Uozumi. His organizational awareness and passing skills are relatively average. By the time he reacts, the three of them have already completed the double-team.
"hateful!"
Akagi subconsciously hugged the ball with both hands, but due to the entanglement of the three people, he still did not escape the fate of losing the ball.
Takasago grabbed the basketball and immediately threw it to Amu who was about to play.
Mitsui struggled hard, trying to slow down Amu's momentum.
Amu did not stick to the ball and passed the ball to Keisuke Ishida, who broke through Kimugure Kimibu and scored a layup.
In less than a minute, the point difference between Xiangbei and Hainan widened from three points to eight points.
Before Shohoku served, coach Anzai stood up from the bench, called Akagi over, and gave him the solution.
Coach Anxi is now out of retirement. He also hopes that Xiangbei can enter the national competition, so he will naturally spare no effort.
Shohoku served. This time, Akagi took the initiative to screen for Mitsui and blocked Amu.
Mitsui rushed forward and easily broke through the defensive switch. Amu quickly dropped Akagi and rushed toward Mitsui from behind.
As long as Mitsui makes a layup, I'm afraid Amu will be blocked.
Mitsui seemed to hear footsteps coming from behind. His footsteps did not stop, but the basketball in his hand disappeared.
Bang~
Akagi jumped up and performed another gorilla dunk.
It turned out that after the pick-and-roll, Akagi immediately cut into the basket from the other side. Mitsui and Akagi cooperated tacitly. He guessed Akagi's habits and passed a tacit ball.
Sure enough, Akagi received a pass from Mitsui and easily got a chance to score.
This is Coach Anzai's strategy. He is very aware of Akagi's shortcomings.
One-on-one is okay, but his ability to pass and control the ball is relatively average. Double-teaming is okay. Once he is double-teamed by three people, he may not be able to pass the ball easily.
This is also the reason why in the original work, after Mitsui was injured, Akagi was always eliminated in the first round in the prefecture competition.
Of course, the main reason is that Akagi is not strong enough.
Therefore, coach Anzai hopes that Akagi will act as a catch-and-shoot terminator, so that mistakes can be avoided as much as possible.
The offensive organizer is naturally Mitsui. As long as Akagi and Mitsui combine inside and outside, it will be difficult for Shohoku's offense to be restricted.
This is closely related to Hainan's lineup. It is almost impossible for Hainan to restrict two people at the same time.
On the Hainan bench, coach Gao Tou became impatient again, and the paper fan in his hand flapped faster.
"As expected of Mitsuyoshi Anzai, he does have some skills!"
Coach Gao Tou took a deep breath and resisted the urge to break the paper fan.
Recently, he is learning to be patient, otherwise the paper fan in his hand would have been broken by him.
The game is still going on. Both sides have their own strengths, but the result is still the same as before. No one can limit the other.
The inner line of Xiangbei is stronger, while the outer line of Hainan is better.
In terms of coordination, Hainan is also above Xiangbei.
It's a pity that although the situation seems to be even, Xiangbei is still slowly narrowing the point difference.
This is still a common rebounding issue, and it is also related to the fact that Hainan does not have a three-point shooter.
Although Hainan recruited Ichiro Kamizou, the current Ichiro Kamizou may not have developed a three-pointer, at least for some time.
A player like Amu, who can easily attract opponents to double-team, can complement each other if paired with a three-point marksman.
However, this Hainan team does have a three-point shooter, but unfortunately his name is Gong Yiyifan.
Gong Yiyifan's three-point rule is accurate, but his physical condition is not generally bad. How can coach Gao Tou send him on the field.
Regarding Miyazaki Yoshino's conditions, unless Sakuragi joins Shohoku, this Shohoku team may not give him a chance.
However, history has changed. Currently, Sakuragi has been exposed to basketball more than a year in advance. If he encounters Yoshino Miyazaki again, he doesn't know whether he will make the same mistake again.
With Xiangbei's internal and external combination, by the time the first half was about to end, Hainan's advantage was gone.
For a moment, the Hainan players became obviously anxious, and their hand movements began to increase.
Fortunately, the referee's whistle in this game was "soft", otherwise Hainan might have been called for many fouls.
Compared with the Hainan players, the morale of the Xiangbei team was high, but after being 'bullied', their actions unknowingly became louder, and the whole game was full of excitement.
However, what troubled Coach Gaotou was that Akagi kept calm and was never fooled.
What he didn't know was that whenever Akagi was about to lose control, Mitsui would always come forward to remind him, hoping that he could stay calm and not be succeeded by the Hainan team's conspiracy.
It is precisely because of this that at the end of the first half, Akagi only committed one foul, which was far from the point of throwing a foul weapon.
This was beyond Coach Gao Tou's expectation. He shook his paper fan irritably and thought hard about countermeasures.
Bang~
However, at this moment, Akagi scored another slam dunk, leading Shohoku to overtake the score for the first time.
"No matter what, Hainan must win!"
Coach Gao Tou finally made up his mind.
In order to win, some people will choose to do whatever it takes, and Gao Touli is obviously not a basketball coach with high moral standards.
