Facing Lingnan's three-two defense, Mitsui looked very solemn, and he could clearly feel that he was being targeted.
In addition, Lingnan's focus is obviously to prevent shots rather than sudden attacks.
Although Mitsui can take the opportunity to break through, he not only has to face the defense of Uozumi and Naito, but most importantly, without three-pointers, it will be difficult for Shohoku to chase points.
When Mitsui hesitated, Ikegami immediately grabbed the ball. Mitsui was startled, subconsciously hugged the basketball, and hurriedly passed it to Rukawa Kaede.
He was also very close to Sendou who was defending Rukawa Kaede. Seeing that there was no chance to shoot a three-pointer, Rukawa Kaede easily broke through Sendō and used a pull-up jumper to score two points before Naito assisted in defense.
However, when Lingnan attacked, under double teams, Uozhu hit the basket again with a hook and scored two points.
Even though Akagi and Sakuragi tried their best, their interference with Uozumi was minimal.
Akagi grabbed Sakuragi and said: "Sakuragi, I will hold Uozumi in a while, and you will jump up with all your strength to interfere. Do you understand?"
The defensive strategies of the two just now were all based on confrontation. Under the suppression of Uozumi's strength, Sakuragi had difficulty taking advantage of his jumping advantage.
Sakuragi looked at Akagi with suspicion and asked, "Gorilla, can you do it?"
"Asshole, a man can't say no!"
There seemed to be veins on Akagi's forehead, and he wanted to punch Sakuragi on the head.
However, now is not the time to promote violence.
In Shohoku's offense, Mitsui quickly passed halftime with the ball.
Since time was limited, he did not dare to delay.
Lingnan's defensive policy is still to focus on defending three-pointers. Whether it is Mitsui, Mumu or Rukawa Kaede, they have all been targeted.
At this time, Sakuragi also pulled out. He did not stay near the penalty area and quickly ran towards the three-point line.
At Uozumi's signal, Naito quickly followed.
Although Sakuragi's three-point shooting is still at the stage where it works sometimes, Uozumi doesn't dare to take a gamble, especially when Sakuragi is the protagonist in the comic "SD".
For a moment, the restricted area became very empty, with only Uozumi and Akagi left.
Mitsui frowned and had to call for a pick-and-roll.
Although he feels that he is in good condition now and feels extremely hot, he is not sure that he can always hit three-pointers against the defense.
In this case, he decided to try to use the pick-and-roll to create opportunities in order to obtain a more comfortable shooting environment.
Akagi immediately came up to pick and roll, and Uozumi followed closely.
At this moment, almost all ten players were concentrated near the three-point line.
With the help of Akagi's thick pick-and-roll, Mitsui wanted to shoot through Akagi before Ikegami came around.
Mitsui jumped up high, but what surprised him was that a big hand appeared in his eyes through Akagi.
Uozumi seemed to have judged Mitsui's intention and jumped up across Akagi.
In fact, he was completely gambling.
He is not afraid of Mitsui's two-pointers, but he is afraid of Mitsui's three-pointers.
In Uozumi's view, Mitsui is the biggest unsettling factor for the Shohoku team, bar none!
As long as Mitsui is not given the chance to shoot a three-pointer, he believes that Lingnan will be the final winner.
In mid-air, Mitsui was surprised and quickly raised his hand.
However, under his desperate gaze, Yuzhu's right hand easily covered the ball.
The gap in height, wingspan and jumping between the two is so big that even if Mitsui raises his shooting height, he will only be blocked.
As for further raising the shooting height, it is simply impossible. With Mitsui's strength, even if it is thrown, it will only throw out a three-bang.
"Quick attack!"
As soon as Uozumi landed, he immediately rushed towards the basketball that was bouncing towards the frontcourt as quickly as possible.
At the same time, Mitsui also threw himself at the basketball.
His distance is shorter than Yuzhu's, but he has one more turning movement.
During the scramble, Uozumi took advantage of his wingspan to grab the basketball first and hit the basket.
Mitsui ran two steps subconsciously, and by the time he realized something was wrong, it was already too late.
Outside the three-point line, Yuzhu even had the opportunity to aim at the basket before pushing the ball out.
Huh~
Although Uozumi's three-pointers are far inferior to Mitsui's, the advantage of his height, long arms and good jumping means that it is difficult for defenders to interfere with him, and his shooting rate can be imagined.
With this three-pointer, the gap between the two teams further widened.
"How can we fight this?"
Mitsui put his hands on his hips and looked at Uozumi in front of him, feeling helpless and tired.
This is simply cheating. Even if he activates the residual health trick, there is nothing he can do in the face of a cheating device like Yuzhu.
The key is that Yuzhu is too stable. I would rather let him score two points easily than give him a chance to shoot a three-pointer.
At this moment, Mitsui was a little discouraged.
However, after all, he is a fiery man who never gives up. Not only has his will not been depressed, but he has become stronger.
Huh~
In the next round, Mitsui did not call a pick-and-roll and made a three-pointer against Ikegami's defense.
Ikegami shook his head helplessly. He had obviously given enough interference, but he still allowed Mitsui to hit this difficult three-pointer.
Yuzhu patted Ikegami on the shoulder and asked: "Ikegami, are you okay? If not, shall we switch to defense?"
“Men can’t say no!”
Like Akagi, Mingming Chishang's whole body is soft, but his mouth is hard.
Offensive and defensive transition!
Soon, Uozumi received another pass from Sendō.
Akagi tried his best to carry Yuzumi, but Sakuragi quickly rushed over from the other side.
Uozumi leaned against Akagi and made a gesture of wanting to hook. Sakuragi jumped up quickly and wanted to block the shot.
Unfortunately, this was Yuzhu’s fake move.
When Sakuragi jumped up, Uozumi turned around and walked around Sakuragi.
Due to Sakuragi, Akagi was also blocked by Sakuragi and was unable to move laterally.
When Uozumi rushed to the basket, Akagi reluctantly rushed up from the other side.
Uozumi jumped up against Akagi and smashed the ball toward the basket.
Pa~
Akagi's right hand slapped Uozumi's arm hard, trying to stop Uozumi.
Bang~
However, what made Akagi despair was that Uozumi seemed to have no effect. While knocking him away, he slammed the basketball into the basket.
Toot~
The referee belatedly blew the whistle, indicating a foul on Akagi, and Uozumi added a penalty kick.
Uozumi rubbed his red arm, and there was a clear slap mark on it, which showed how much strength Akagi had used.
"Gorilla, are you okay?"
On the other side, Sakuragi pulled Akagi up from the floor.
"fine!"
Akagi rubbed his chest. Although the collision did not hurt him, he still needed to slow down.
Huh~
On the free throw line, Yuzhu easily hit the extra penalty, completing 2+1!
However, not long after, Mitsui and Mugure crossed the screen and once again shot a three-pointer against Ikegami's defense.
Under Ikegami's speechless gaze, Mitsui hit a three-pointer again.
"Ikegami, it seems you can't do it. Change your defense!"
Uozumi teased Ikegami.
This time, Ikegami did not continue to be tough and handed over the heavy responsibility of defending Mitsui to Uozumi.
