After Xiangyang's changed lineup, the run-and-gun tactics may have to be discounted, but they are more suitable for positional warfare.
Perhaps because of his age, Coach Kitano has always given people the impression that he is a stubborn old man who only plays run-and-gun tactics, giving people the impression that he does not know how to adapt.
This may be one of the reasons why he was fired by Toyotama.
But people always change with changes in the external environment, and Coach Kitano is no exception. What's more, Xiangyang also has Fujima, the 'alternative coach'.
After the start of the second half, Xiangyang's change of formation really worked wonders.
Takano's strength is not as good as that of Ming Gaoguang, but he has plenty of physical energy and specializes in defense. His presence makes Xiangyang's penalty area defense and rebounding better guaranteed.
With Takano assisting, Hanagata can also focus more energy on the offensive end where he is better.
Kishimoto also breathed a sigh of relief. His opponent became Kurakimine, a blue-collar player who also further liberated his abilities.
When Xiangyang players feel comfortable, Hainan players naturally feel uncomfortable.
From the perspective of the lineup, except for the highlight, the other Hainan players have no advantages at all, and at best they will compete with each other.
But even if you are a high-profile player, playing in high fields often requires a lot of effort and is difficult to last.
After all, Ming Guangguang is still a first-year player, and his strength is not as good as that of Akagi at the same time, so we can't count too much on him.
At this time, Amu had to bear the pressure of Hainan's attack.
Unlike Hainan, Xiangyang has many more choices.
Fujima, Kishimoto, and Hanagata can take turns sharing the offensive burden, which is far easier than Hainan.
In addition, Hainan also lost its advantage in rebounding.
At first, Amu and Nagaoguang could hold on, but over time, their physical strength was unable to make ends meet, and their efficiency began to decline.
On the other hand, the Xiangyang team was obviously much more relaxed.
At the tactical level, Xiangyang did not give up the run and gun tactics, but formed a combination of run and gun + position, which is more similar to the Kanagawa representative team in the Autumn National Sports Competition.
Play run-and-gun when you have the chance, play position when you don't have the chance, that's pretty much what it means.
In the sixth minute of the second half, Xiangyang finally took the lead.
The situation is obviously not good for Hainan. If it continues, Hainan will probably be dragged to death by Xiangyang.
Coach Gao Tou had to frown and call a timeout. When the timeout ended, A Shen was re-assigned to the field, and his replacement was Cang Mufeng.
If Hainan wants to break free, it must strengthen its offense. After looking at Hainan's many substitutes, Ah Shen is probably the most suitable.
Although Cang Mufeng is good, he is only a blue-collar player after all, and his offensive ability is relatively close to the basket.
Coach Gao Tou believes that instead of being cut with a soft knife, it is better to further strengthen the offense, even if it means lowering the defense.
After all, there is only one Hasegawa, either guarding Keisuke Ishida or guarding Ah Shen. In short, one person will be freed.
In this way, it can help Amu and Ming Gaoguang bear the offensive pressure and give them time to recover.
As for whether it has any effect, it's hard to say.
As the game resumed, Hasegawa couldn't help but look at Coach Kitano.
Coach Kitano pointed at Ah Shen, and Hasegawa immediately understood and began to change defensive targets with Kishimoto.
Looking at Hasegawa who looked like a dog-skin plaster, Ah Shen frowned slightly.
Hasegawa's defense is still fresh in his memory.
However, Ah Shen remembered the coach's plan.
For the first time, he took the initiative to approach A Mu.
The next moment, Amu broke through with the ball.
Teng Zhen wanted to move sideways, but ended up bumping into Ah Shen.
Ah Shen stumbled and was almost squeezed by Teng Zhen.
His figure is still too thin, not much better than a bamboo pole.
However, Ah Shen barely blocked Teng Zhen.
Amu took the opportunity to break through, and Hasegawa had to switch defenses with Fujima.
On the other side, Ah Shen suddenly rushed to the right corner.
Fujima hurriedly chased after him. He trusted Hasegawa's defense and could concentrate on Ashen.
Suddenly, Ah Shen changed direction, rushed through the penalty area, and rushed towards the left corner.
Just when Fujima was chasing after him, Nagaoguang helped block it intentionally or unintentionally.
Takasago even secretly grabbed the hem of Fujima's jersey, causing him to slow down a lot.
With the help of his teammates, Ah Shen ran to the three-point line in the left corner and successfully opened a gap between Fujima and Fujima.
The moment A Shen ran outside the three-point line, A Mu immediately passed the ball, and the former caught the ball and shot.
Ah Shen's shooting posture is beautiful but very smooth.
After all, Fujima came a step too late and did not put much defensive pressure on Ah Shen.
Huh~
Ah Shen raised his knife and easily hit a three-pointer, taking the lead again.
This also made Coach Gao Tou feel relieved. Apparently his teachings were not in vain.
However, it is hard to say whether Ah Shen can continue his state.
The game continued. After hitting a three-pointer, Ah Shen's self-confidence surged and he became more and more confident.
Not long after, A Shen once again blocked A Mu, and another opportunity appeared.
The difference is that Fujima was on guard. When Ah Shen caught the ball, there was only one body left between the two.
Ah Shen raised his hand to pre-shoot. Teng Zhen thought that Ah Shen wanted to repeat his same trick, so he jumped up while rushing over.
It's a pity that this is Ah Shen's fake move, and it is also the only fake move he knows how to do.
When Fujima jumped up, Ah Shen did not collect the ball and break through.
When Fujima started to fall, he jumped up and threw the basketball in his hand.
The moment the basketball was thrown, Ah Shen knew it was there.
Huh~
The basketball once again penetrated the rim.
Ah Shen waved his right hand towards the sky, with a look of confidence in his eyes.
He showed signs of getting more and more excited as he played.
In the auditorium, Akagi touched Mitsui beside him with his arm: "This guy's shooting posture looks like yours."
"Just kidding, he's still far from it!"
Mitsui said this, but in his heart he felt that what Akagi said made sense.
Seeing Ah Shen's shooting posture, Mitsui seemed to see himself.
"But the shot was quite accurate!"
Mitsui couldn't help but give A Shen a positive review.
"Do you think Hainan can win?"
Mitsui shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, but I'm still more optimistic about Xiangyang.
Although this player named Kamizou Ichiro caught Xiangyang off guard, his advantages and disadvantages were obvious and it was not difficult to restrict him. Fujima suffered the disadvantage of underestimating his opponent. "
Just like Mitsui said, before Coach Kitano could take any measures, Fujima used actions to strangle Ashen's performance.
Ah Shen wanted to repeat his old trick, but Tengzhen didn't stun him. When he wanted to do a 'dry pull', he was blocked by Tengzhen.
In terms of height, Fujima is now over 1.8 meters tall.
Physically speaking, Fujima is much stronger than the 'mediocre' Ah Shen.
In terms of experience, Ah Shen is completely incomparable in this aspect.
Ah Shen tried to find opportunities through other methods, but they were all restricted by Fujima or Hasegawa, and they never regained their previous highlights.
Just like his performance at the beginning of the first half, except for a brief highlight moment, the rest of the time was like being invisible on the field.
It can only be said that coach Gao Tou's secret weapon is still too young after all. It has not yet been tempered and faced opponents like Fujima and Hasegawa one after another.
