After the initial trial period, the two sides were at odds with each other, with no one convinced.
For a time, the scores showed a staggered trend.
Xiangyang focused on offense and neglected defense, and its energy was inevitably concentrated on the offensive end, and it was impossible to guard against the Mountain King.
It is also difficult for Sanno to limit the performance of the Shoyo team. Under Fujima's organization and scheduling, he is always able to pass the ball to teammates who run out of position as soon as possible, assisting teammates to score.
Under Fujima's organization and dispatch, the Shoyo team seemed to be integrated into a whole, taking the run-and-gun tactics to the extreme and always getting opportunities to score easily.
In addition, when Xiangyang attacks, Sanno always has players falling behind, and the one with the highest frequency is Nobe Masahiro.
Compared with Hanagata, Nobe Masahiro is not only slower, but he often goes deep into the basket to fight for offensive rebounds.
As long as Shoyo serves the ball quickly, Nobe Shojo Hirotō has no time to return to defense and is beaten into a fast break by Shoyo.
Hua Hua Hua~
The audience is still enthusiastically supporting their respective teams.
Sanno Industrial's foundation and historical achievements far exceed those of Xiangyang, so it stands to reason that it should have more supporters.
However, in fact, Xiangyang has more supporters.
The reason is very simple. This is Fukuoka Prefecture, a territory affiliated with Hakata Commerce University.
Hakata and Sanno are the only two "rich families" in universities. They can be said to be typical representatives of falling in love and killing each other. The "love and hatred" between them can be imagined.
Although Hakata was eliminated by Ryonan and Shoyo was also from Kanagawa Prefecture, in the eyes of these viewers, Shoyo was always more pleasing to the eye than Sanno.
Therefore, many of those supporters of Hakata support Xiangyang, and at worst they are neutral.
In addition, it is also closely related to Xiangyang's beautiful performance.
The run-and-gun tactics and the mercury-like offense undoubtedly attracted the attention of the audience, which also added a large number of fans to Xiangyang.
By the way, there is also Fujima's good looks. Many female viewers come here specifically for this. Fujima's looks seem to be very popular among mom fans, so the ratio of older sisters to aunts is relatively high.
These mother fans have not been organized yet, otherwise they might become "Fujima Mikoto" like "Rukawa Mikoto" in the future.
Soon, coach Domoto called a timeout and he was going to replace Masahiro Nobe.
"Kawada, you will be the center forward after a while!"
Kawada Masashi opened his mouth and pointed at himself in disbelief.
"Coach, please let me go, I'm not suitable to be a center forward!"
Masashi Kawada had a look of despair on his face. At this moment, the two sentences he often said automatically appeared in his mind.
What a great power forward!
Only a fool plays center!
"Kawada, you disappoint me so much!"
Coach Domoto stared at Okawada closely, with a majestic look on his face.
Under the guidance of coach Domoto, Okawada was unable to struggle and could only submit obediently.
"Okay, let me try."
Okawada made a feeble sound, accompanied by the laughter of his teammates.
Masahiro Nobe, who was originally substituted, was still a little unhappy, but now he has regained his composure and is the happiest smiling person.
He doesn't want to play center at all, because at this position, whenever he encounters a strong team, he often has the only possibility of being abused.
If you encounter fish living in it, it will be even more fatal.
Of course, he has no intention of playing as a substitute, so the best way is to swap positions with Okawada and let him play power forward.
What Okada didn't know was that in order not to play center, Nobe Masahiro was secretly losing weight, resulting in his weight being lower than at the same time in the original work.
I have to say that opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared!
It was precisely because he felt that Nobe Masahiro was thinner, and coupled with Uozumi's "suggestion", coach Domoto also felt that Ohda was more suitable as a center than Nobe Masahiro.
Soon, the game started again.
In addition to Masahiro Nobe, Minoru Matsumoto was also substituted.
Replacing Nobe Masahiro is third-year player Yuyasu Kuraki, who is 189 centimeters and 84 kilograms, but is a top blue-collar player who specializes in defense and rebounding.
The person who replaced Minoru Matsumoto was naturally Satoshi Ichinokura.
Minoru Matsumoto lowered his head and put a towel on his head. He remained silent and looked gloomy.
Ichinokura Satoshi is said to be immortal and is the defensive leader of Sanno Industries.
However, he also has a serious flaw, that is, he is not tall enough. Even in the plot year, he is only 171 centimeters.
Ichinokura Satoshi's opponent was Nan Retsu, who performed well.
After the game restarted, Ichinokura Satoshi began to pester Nanretsu.
"This guy is sick, he's bothering you offensively!"
Nanlie was very depressed, and Ichinokura Satoshi almost hugged him, making him feel like he was in charge.
Ichinokura Satoshi said nothing and was still pestering Nanlie.
Under the entanglement of Ichinokura Satoshi, Nanlie's mentality was more or less affected.
Soon, Zebei once again singled Hasegawa to score.
"Damn it! Why is this guy so strong?"
Hasegawa seemed very unwilling. As the defensive leader of the Xiangyang team, even if he tried his best, he still could not change the fate of being beaten by Zebei. There was nothing he could do, especially as Zebei was still a first-year player.
Looking at Zebei's back, Hasegawa vaguely felt that the other party had not become serious yet, which was very discouraging.
As Sanno changed his lineup, the situation on the court began to benefit Sanno.
With Okawada serving as center, Sanno's defensive intensity in the penalty area has significantly increased, causing Xiangyang to increase the frequency of shooting from the outside.
By the end of the first half, Sanwang had a 5-point advantage.
"Xiangyang is in danger!"
In the audience, Yuzhu couldn't help but shook his head.
Xiangyang didn't seem to be at a big disadvantage, but their main players played the entire first half.
As for Sanno, the players were rotated during the period, and the substitute lineup led by Minoru Matsumoto and Masahiro Nobe played for more than five minutes.
This is to deal with Xiangyang who focuses on offense but not defense. If it is Lingnan and Hakata, Sanno will probably not take the risk of using a rotation lineup.
As a result, the physical strength of the main force of Sanwang was obviously more abundant, and the situation was very unfavorable for Xiangyang.
At the beginning of the second half, Xiangyang could still maintain the score, but then the situation took a turn for the worse.
Due to excessive physical loss, the offensive efficiency of Xiangyang players began to decline.
It was also at this time that Sanno Industrial adopted defensive pressing tactics.
Unlike the Hainan team in the original work, the Xiangyang team with F4 is stronger, and Fujima is better at organizing than Amu, so the defensive pressing tactics are not very effective for the Xiangyang team.
Even so, Xiangyang was still at a disadvantage.
In five minutes, Sanwang instantly expanded the point difference to double digits.
In the following time, the Xiangyang team began to catch up, but in the face of the steady Sanno Industries, they fell short in the end.
It has only been two months since Coach Kitano's run-and-gun tactics were introduced to the Shoyang team. Nanretsu and Kishimoto have not yet fully integrated into the Shoyang system, which is also the biggest factor leading to Shoyang's defeat.
Of course, the offensive efficiency of Zebei and Ohda is also an important reason.
