Although Sakuragi's header made people laugh, it is undeniable that he scored two points this time, which more or less alleviated the disadvantage of the Shohoku team.
However, even with the eggs, the fish haven't exerted much force yet.
The game is still going on. In order to chase points, Mitsui and Rukawa Kaede exploded with amazing scoring power, leading Shohoku to score points wildly.
At the beginning, the Xiangbei team did narrow the point difference to single digits.
Unfortunately, Lingnan quickly retaliated, and Yuzhu did not continue to save effort and began to exert strength on the offensive end.
Under the leadership of Uozumi, the Shohoku team not only failed to further narrow the point difference, but was once again opened up by Lingnan to a double-digit point difference.
In the end, Uozumi activated the King of the Third Quarter badge, even if it was just a silver badge, it still effectively improved his scoring efficiency.
In this case, ten minutes passed quickly in the second half, and the situation became increasingly unfavorable for Xiangbei.
The Shohoku players became more and more impatient, so during an attack, Rukawa Kaede tried to get a layup by two people, but was blocked and gave him a nail-biting block.
Pa~
This is also Yuzhu's ninth block in this game. With his points, rebounds and assists all in double figures, he can get a quadruple-double as long as he contributes one more block.
Hua Hua Hua~
This also made the audience more and more excited, and they cheered for Yuzhu.
They sincerely hope that Yuzhu can score a quadruple-double so that they can enjoy themselves even more.
On the Shohoku bench, coach Anxi couldn't help but raise his frame and resolutely applied for a timeout.
He knew very well that once Yuzhu scored a quadruple-double, judging from the point difference between the two teams, the Shohoku team would never have a chance again.
This is the shocking power of four pairs!
During the timeout, coach Anzai looked at the panting Rukawa Kaede, and immediately turned his attention to Mitsui.
In terms of scoring, Mitsui is not inferior to Rukawa Kaede in any way, but he obviously still has enough energy left to play the whole game.
Whether it is physical reserves or physical distribution, Mitsui is superior to Rukawa Kaede who is in junior high school.
"Everyone, there is not much time left for us. If we want to win, we must narrow the point difference as soon as possible."
In this case, Coach Anxi had to choose to take risks.
To this end, he also substituted Kimetsu nobu on the court, with Mitsui as the point guard.
After the game restarted, seeing the changes in the Shohoku team's lineup, Uozumi immediately guessed Coach Anzai's tactical intentions.
Obviously, Coach Anxi probably wants to implement a three-point shooting tactic.
In this era where the inside is king, three-point tactics are very rare. This is a gamble, but it is also an attempt.
There is no doubt that the Shohoku team meets the basic conditions for this tactic. They have the best three-point backcourt in the entire high school league.
Mitsui is recognized as the best three-point shooter in the country. Mugure and Rukawa Kaede are also good at three-pointers, at least they are in the second gear.
In this aspect, even Lingnan, Shanwang, and Xiangyang are inferior.
"Everyone must be careful with their three-pointers! If nothing else happens, Xiangbei may implement a three-pointer tactic."
Yuzhu gave a timely reminder.
The teammates did not take it lightly and were prepared for three-pointers.
When Xiangbei came to the frontcourt, Lingnan players obviously shortened the distance between the opposing players.
Xiangbei's three-point shooting is not bad, but Lingnan's two insiders have top-level assisting defense capabilities and can help them prevent and fill in any gaps.
】
Mitsui naturally understood this. In order to get rid of the defense, Akagi and Sakuragi gave him a double pick-and-roll.
He did not choose to break through, but used the bodies of the two to cover his body and jumped straight up.
By the time Naito got around, Mitsui had already shot the basketball in his hand.
At the moment of taking action, Mitsui smiled and made a fist with his right hand, full of confidence.
Seeing Mitsui's smile, Naito's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned to look at the basketball still flying in the air.
Huh~
The basketball hollowed into the basket and stirred up a cloud of net flowers.
This three-pointer successfully reduced the point difference to nine points.
As the score difference narrowed to single digits, the Xiangbei team became more confident that they had a chance to win.
However, not long after, Lingnan quickly opened the point difference to double digits again, but Uozumi once again exerted his strength and succeeded in singles against Akagi.
In the last ten minutes of the game, Uozumi’s King of the Fourth Quarter badge was activated.
Compared with the King of the Third Quarter, the King of the Fourth Quarter is a golden badge, so the effect is naturally better.
As a result, Uozumi began to focus more on offense.
Of course, he didn't neglect defense either.
In the last ten minutes, he chose to go all-attack and all-defense. Judging from his physical strength, it was enough to squander it.
"Charge forward, everyone stick to them!"
Under Yuzhu's command, Lingnan's outside players followed their opponents one after another.
As long as Uozumi and Naito are inside, it doesn't matter even if they are broken through by Shohoku players.
The Shohoku players also took action, doing everything possible to provide cover for outside players.
Soon, Rukawa Kaede had an opportunity.
However, Yuzhu's assisting defense was unexpectedly fast, interrupting Rukawa Kaede's shooting rhythm.
The basketball jumped over Yuzhu's fingertips and flew towards the basket.
"Oops, rebound!"
As soon as he landed on the ground, Rukawa Kaede hurriedly reminded his teammates loudly.
Peng ~
The basketball hit the edge of the basket. Since Uozumi ran out to help guard Rukawa Kaede, Naito was unable to defeat the four hands with both fists. He saw that the rebound was about to be grabbed by Sakuragi.
"careful!"
Suddenly, Ikegami rushed from the side, and at the moment Sakuragi grabbed the rebound, he cut the basketball with sharp eyesight and quick hands.
Sendo grabbed the basketball and immediately started a fast break.
Mitsui hurriedly blocked it, hoping to delay Sendao's attack.
Sendō hurriedly passed the ball to Ikegami, who took two steps and then passed it to Nanxiang who was about to leave.
At this time, there was no one in front of Nanxiang and he immediately rushed towards the basket.
Just when Nanxiang was about to take off for a layup, suddenly, a figure appeared behind him. It was Rukawa Kaede with a nail-board shot.
After grabbing the rebound, Rukawa Kaede hurriedly passed the ball to Mitsui to organize the offense.
At this time, Mitsui discovered the opportunity for a fast break and immediately threw the ball forward hard.
It turned out that Sakuragi had already dropped quickly and quickly rushed through the middle circle.
Naito caught up and finally caught up when Sakuragi caught the ball and guarded the basket.
Sakuragi didn't stop and stepped into the penalty area aggressively, taking the initiative to face Naito.
"bring it on!"
"Slam dunk with all your strength..."
The moment he stepped onto the free throw line, Sakuragi jumped up in alarm.
Naito also jumped up and stretched out his hands to intercept.
Due to the run-up, Sakuragi jumped very high, which made Naito's defensive effect not very good.
In an instant, Sakuragi's right hand was in the shape of a tomahawk, struggling to smash the ball toward the basket.
Unfortunately, Sakuragi's arm seemed to be a little short, and the basketball was not smashed into the basket. Instead, it hit the front edge of the basket, and seemed to continue to hit Naito's big bald head.
Seeing the famous scene where Sakuragi beats Naito was about to happen, at the critical moment, an arm suddenly stretched out from the side and slapped the basketball away in time. It was Uozumi.
The moment he landed, Uozumi quickly looked at the referee.
Not only Uozumi, but also all the players and even the audience turned their attention to the referee.
If this goal is counted as a block data, then Yuzhu's quadruple-double can be successfully achieved.
