As Xiangyang used a two-one-two defense, the Xiangbei team's offense began to be limited.
Although he can still score points, his scoring efficiency has indeed dropped a bit.
On the other hand, the Xiangyang team has a complete f4, and its scoring efficiency is even stronger than in the first half.
Between an increase and a decrease, the gap between the two sides widened further.
Soon, coach Anxi called a timeout and began to lay out tactics to deal with zone defense.
When the game restarted, the Shohoku team obviously increased the frequency of pick-and-roll tactics.
Using Akagi's pick-and-roll, Miyagi broke through with the ball, and Hanagata hurriedly blocked it. Miyagi turned around and leaned against Hanagata, then made a ground pass and passed the ball to Akagi.
Before Kishimoto could help defend, Akagi took off and shot from a 45° angle on the left.
Huh~
The basketball hits the backboard and bounces into the basket.
I have to say that Akagi's mid-range shots are really becoming more and more accurate.
In the following time, Xiangbei used pick-and-roll tactics to get opportunities for open shots.
After all, the Shoyo team is a team with strong offense and low defense. They always subconsciously focus more energy on the offensive end. In addition, Hasegawa is still resting off the court, so the defense is indeed not very good.
Coach Kitano was also helpless about this, not to mention he didn't pay much attention to defense and didn't have many solutions.
The most important thing is that Xiangyang's scoring efficiency is still higher than Xiangbei.
"Hoo, ho! Are you almost reaching your limit?"
In the tenth minute of the second half, Mitsui held his knees and gasped for air, feeling that his steps were slower.
Facing Hasegawa and Fujima one after another, especially the two who relentlessly defended him like a mad dog, caused a lot of physical damage to him.
Not only Mitsui, Akagi's consumption is also very high, and he is close to the limit.
On the contrary, the physical loss of the other players in Shobei was not very great.
This is obviously a targeted premeditation, aiming to consume Mitsui and Akagi's physical strength as quickly as possible.
Mitsui raised his head and looked at the electronic screen. The score difference between the two teams had reached double digits.
When he turned his eyes, he saw the Horita Tokuo trio cheering for him as usual.
Mitsui also vaguely saw Tetsuo's figure, who was sitting in the corner and watching him silently.
"No, I can't give up, I am Mitsui Hisashi who never gives up!"
Mitsui clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes seemed to be on fire.
Not far away, Fujima narrowed his eyes slightly and felt something was wrong.
He was very familiar with such a look. Whenever Mitsui showed such a look, his state would explode, which also made Fujima feel faintly uneasy.
Sure enough, in this round, Mitsui made a three-pointer against Fujima's defense.
Fujima was sure that his defense was in place, and he even almost blocked the damn basketball, but even so, Mitsui still easily hit the three-pointer.
Install the latest version. 】
This guy's pace has obviously slowed down, but his touch seems to have improved.
This is a very surprising phenomenon. Logically speaking, greater physical loss will often lead to a decline in feel. However, Mitsui does the opposite.
"No, you must be cautious. I don't want to overturn like the Hainan team did!"
Teng Zhen felt a shiver in his heart and thought it would be better to be more cautious.
So, he took the initiative to call a timeout.
When the timeout ended, Hasegawa replaced Yin Tengzhuo and played again.
On the offensive end, Xiangyang was still efficient and easily scored two points.
On the defensive end, what is surprising is that as soon as Miyagi passed the ball to Mitsui, Fujima rushed to Mitsui without hesitation and double-teamed Mitsui.
As Hasegawa attracted attention, Mitsui, who was in a triple-threat position, was caught off guard. Fujima used his right hand to successfully complete the steal.
After grabbing the basketball, Xiangyang launched another fast break, but Akagi could hardly run anymore and fell behind.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiangyang passed the ball and Nanlie finally scored a layup.
In the Shohoku team's offense, Mitsui obviously has a more thoughtful mind.
Just like the previous offensive round, as soon as Mitsui received the basketball, Fujima rushed over.
He hurriedly shook his shoulders and pretended to break through with the ball, but in fact he wanted to shake the center of gravity of the two to shoot a three-pointer.
Mitsui knew very well that even if he succeeded in breaking through, it would not be easy for him to completely shake them off in his current state.
Instead of doing this, it is better to give it a try. After all, the three-pointer is the weapon for chasing points.
However, just when Mitsui was about to step back and shoot, Mitsui's foot slipped and he fell directly backward to the ground, making a dull sound.
For a moment, Mitsui's mind went blank.
He happened to slip on his own sweat, and that's when this scene happened.
The moment Mitsui fell, Fujima grabbed the falling basketball and quickly scored two points.
"Mitsui, are you okay?"
The Xiangbei players gathered around and showed concerned expressions.
"No...ah, my right hand hurts so much!"
Mitsui wanted to stand up, but felt a pain in his right hand.
At this time, the referee took the initiative to pause the game.
Caiko quickly ran up with the medical kit and checked it out.
"Probably dislocated? I hope it's not a fracture."
Mitsui reluctantly tried it, but the pain was excruciating when he moved his right hand, making it impossible to continue the game.
"Damn it!"
Mitsui hit the floor hard with his good left hand, making a dull sound.
Soon, Mitsui was helped down by his teammates.
The game continued. As Mitsui was injured and left the field, even if the Shohoku players did not give up, they still could not change the ending of being completely crushed by the Xiangyang team, and ultimately lost with regret.
As a result, the Xiangyang team became the champion of this winter divisional competition and won a spot to participate in the winter national competition.
After the game, Fujima was very excited because this was the first time he led his team to win a championship, even if it was just a regional championship.
At the award ceremony, everything went as Yuzhu expected.
Ming Guangguang won the best rookie, Akagi won the best defensive player, and the mvp was naturally in Fujima's bag.
This is also the first time Fujima has won the MVP award. In the past, it was monopolized by Yuzhu.
Although it was only a regional MVP, Fujima was very satisfied.
After winning the MVP, Fujima further consolidated his status as the second player in Kanagawa.
Although Amu and Mitsui are not inferior to Fujima in terms of strength, Xiangyang has a good record, which adds a lot of points to Fujima.
As for the best lineup, they are Akagi, Hanagata, Mitsui, Amu and Fujima.
Just as Uozumi predicted, the Buri team, also in the semi-finals, did not get a spot in the best team.
After the winter divisional competition ended, Uozumi and others made a special trip to the hospital to visit Mitsui.
Mitsui is indeed one of the rich second generation in SD, and he lives in a luxurious ward suite.
His injury was not serious, it was mainly a dislocated arm joint, and it would take about a month to recover.
Seeing that Mitsui was fine, Uozumi and others did not stay here for long, leaving the space to everyone in Shobei.
