Pa~
Soon after, Uozumi seized the opportunity again and blocked Fujima's shot.
Teng Zhen fell to the ground in embarrassment. At this moment, no matter how good his mentality was and how strong his ability to withstand pressure, he was still hit.
However, Xiangyang obviously had no intention of surrendering.
Soon, Coach Kitano called timeout again, trying to adjust the players' condition, hoping that they would get out of the shadows as soon as possible.
After all, the Xiangyang Five Tigers are all third-year players, with rich game experience and generally strong ability to withstand pressure, and can better correct their mentality.
Under the words and deeds of coach Kitano, the condition of Xiangyang players gradually returned to normal.
Unfortunately, their opponent is Lingnan.
Naturally, Lingnan would not miss such a good opportunity, and even used defensive pressing tactics during the period.
Under Lingnan's attack, the Xiangyang team collapsed, and both offense and defense were overwhelmed.
In just three or four minutes, Lingnan had a ten-point advantage.
When the Xiangyang team finally returned to normal, Coach Tianoka waved his hand and began to send in some substitute players.
Lingnan: Uozumi, Ikegami, Sugahira, Katsumi Ichiro and Ebi Naika.
Soon, the audience was surprised to find that Lingnan also used run-and-gun tactics, and was not inferior at all in terms of efficiency.
Although both teams use run-and-gun tactics, there are differences between the two teams.
The Shoyo team has Fujima as the core player, while the Ryonan team has Uozumi as the core player.
Rather than saying it is a run-and-gun tactic, it is better to say it is a combination of run-and-gun tactics + one-star shooting.
"This Lingnan team is too strong!"
In the audience, Coach Gaotou was breathing rapidly, and his eyes looking at Coach Tianoka were filled with jealousy.
Two years ago, the status of the two coaches was very different.
At that time, coach Gao Tou was already a well-known coach in the country and had led the Hainan team to many national competitions.
As for Coach Tian Gang, his best result was the quarter-finals of the county competition. Compared with Coach Gaotou, who was at the height of his power at that time, he was like a firefly competing against the bright moon.
As a result, in just two years, the two sides exchanged positions in the coaching world.
Coach Tian Gang rises and coach Gao Tou falls. How can the arrogant coach Gao Tou not feel jealous?
Coach Gao Tou tried hard to suppress the turbulent emotions in his heart, and soon his eyes fell on Yuzhu.
In his opinion, if coach Tian Gang hadn't been lucky enough to recruit Yuzhu, the Lingnan team would not have dominated the country, let alone so many outstanding players joining the Lingnan team.
However, when he thought about facing Lingnan and Xiangyang in the next two games, Coach Gao Tou's mood became bad.
The overall strength of the Hainan team is ultimately not as good as these two teams, and the game against them will undoubtedly result in more losses than wins.
If they lose these two games again, then the Hainan team may lose the possibility of participating in the national competition just like the previous two years.
Once the Hainan team fails to participate in the summer national competition for three consecutive years, the only thing waiting for coach Gao Tou is to be fired.
There was no other way, so Coach Gao Tou issued a 'military order'.
"No, we must continue to raise the stakes. No matter what, we must make Kanagawa Prefecture the host of the summer national competition!"
Coach Gao Tou naturally didn't want to be kicked out, so he made up his mind that even if he put down his old face, he must make this happen as soon as possible.
At this time, the first half is over.
Even though the Xiangyang team fought hard to catch up, they still could not narrow the point difference between the two sides.
The Lingnan team, which was mostly composed of substitute players, ended up in a tie with the Xiangyang team.
So scary!
As a result, the balance of victory and defeat clearly tilted towards the Lingnan team.
Firstly, the Lingnan team already had a considerable score advantage, and secondly, some of the main players in Lingnan had more rest time.
Compared with Lingnan, the Xiangyang Five Tigers played the entire first half.
It's not that Coach Kitano doesn't want the main players to get a better rest, but he really doesn't dare to change them. Otherwise, if one of them is bad, the Xiangyang team will be taken away in a wave, and there will be no way to save the day.
After ten minutes, the second half begins.
Both sides sent their main players on the field, and even after halftime, the Xiangyang Five still looked tired.
Compared with the Xiangyang Five Tigers, Lingnan players are obviously more relaxed.
In the jump ball stage, Yuzhu easily won the ball again.
Sendō held the ball past halftime and immediately passed the ball to Uozumi, who easily broke through the flower shape and scored a layup.
One-on-one, Yuzhu only needs to rely on his physical advantage to easily defeat his opponent and score points.
This is just like O'Neal at his peak. Many times he does not need to show his skills and relies entirely on his body to score.
When the Xiangyang team attacked, they suddenly found that the Lingnan players were highly focused and their defensive intensity had significantly increased.
For a while, Xiangyang players were unable to get rid of their opponents.
Under Chishang's entanglement, Fujima also didn't have a good chance.
As a last resort, Fujima had no choice but to break through with the ball.
However, just like the first half of the first half, Ikegami led Fujima into the pocket formation.
In the blink of an eye, Fujima was double-teamed by Uozumi and Ikegami, and was locked up by a strong man, and his hands were on him.
Pa~
Fujima wanted to pass the ball, but Yuzhu was stunned and relied on his long wingspan to easily complete the steal.
Xiangyang players quickly returned to defense for fear of being beaten into a fast break by Lingnan.
Unfortunately, Lingnan once again started a positional battle, eventually handing the ball to Yuzhu and pulling away the defensive players.
Huh~
It was almost the same as the previous round. Even though Hanagata was prepared in advance, there was still nothing he could do about Uozumi.
In the following time, the Lingnan team focused more energy on defense, which greatly reduced the scoring efficiency of the Xiangyang team.
The Lingnan team's offense was not affected because they only needed to hand the ball to Yuzhu.
Due to the effect of the King of the Third Quarter badge, Uozhu scored very efficiently and got everything he wanted in the penalty area.
Under such circumstances, the gap between the two sides is still widening.
After five minutes, the Xiangyang Five Tigers were obviously affected physically. They had lost too much energy and their condition was getting worse.
The Lingnan team successfully seized the opportunity, and then directly took away the Xiangyang team with a 14:3 shock wave, which directly led to the point difference between the two sides widening to nearly 30 points, establishing the victory of the game.
Judging from the strength of both sides, the rest of the time became garbage time.
Without hesitation, coach Tian Gang waved his hand, five ups and five downs, and all were replaced by substitutes.
Even if he is just a substitute player in Lingnan, he is still very strong. At least he will not be defeated by the opponent.
When Yuzhu came off the field, the audience burst into intense and unusual cheers.
For all the spectators, this was undoubtedly a value-for-money game.
Whether it's Yuzhu's shot, a dunk at the free throw line or a run-and-gun duel between the two sides, it's enough to keep the audience hooked.
The only pity is that Xiangyang is too inexperienced.
The dignified runner-up in the Winter National Competition was stunned and beaten violently by the Lingnan team, completely unable to fight back.
As the first round of the joint finals ended, Lingnan and Xiangbei temporarily gained the advantage.
The second round of joint finals will be held tomorrow. The two sides are Xiangyang VS Hainan and Lingnan VS Xiangbei.
