Chapter 113 Battle with Xiangyang: 4 Elders
Shoyo attacks. Facing Murasakibara, Fujima suddenly starts, Murasakibara moves sideways, only to find that it was Higashijo who came out to screen for Fujima, and Fujima rushes to the inside. Facing Horida who is helping him, he passes the ball to Yanmaru with a ground ball. Yanmaru shoots, and Fukuda jumps up to block the shot. He hits the ball and also hits Yanmaru's hand.
Yan Wan missed the first free throw, but after a slight adjustment, he made the second one! 38:34
There are 11 seconds left. Kogure dribbled across half court and faced Fujima who was waiting for him. Kogure signaled Horita to come over for a pick and roll. Using Horita's pick and roll, Kogure broke into the paint and made a quick stop jump shot.
"What?" Mugure noticed that a hand reached out from behind and touched the basketball. It was Fujima! Fujima bypassed Horita and blocked Mugure's shot from behind. The ball bounced out of the basket, and the first half ended at the same time.
"Kumure-san, you take a break. Mitsui-san, you go on the court and help Ito organize the attack. Katsumi-san, you also go on the court to attract the opponent and open up the defensive space for Shoyo. Horita and Fukuda-san, you two will be responsible for covering our back line breakthrough."
"Coach, I can break through Shoyo's defense without a screen."
"Mitsui, you do have the talent, but this kind of breakthrough will consume a lot of your energy. This match won't be decided so quickly. I don't want you to sit on the sidelines at the last moment because of your energy shortage. So, you need to conserve your energy appropriately."
"Yes, coach"
The second half of the game begins. Players from both teams enter the field
"Shohoku substituted Murasakibara, and Shoyo's Fujima didn't play either?" The Ryonan players noticed the changes in the lineups of both teams.
"It's normal for both teams to replace their ace defenders. They both played the entire first half. They were quite physically exhausted," explained Shigekazu Tanaoka.
Yan Wan won the jump ball. Compared with Fujima, the No. 7 player who replaced Fujima was just average. But as a substitute for a top team in the prefecture, he was still stronger than the substitute point guard of Xiangbei, Iida. He made two fake passes to get past Iida's defense. Fukuda just went to fill in the position. He found that the ball was no longer in the hands of No. , but in the hands of Higashijo who was opposite him. Higashijo scored!
"After all, it's Shoyo. Even though he's a substitute, his organizational skills are pretty good." Mumu sighed at the depth of Shoyo's substitute lineup. On the other hand, although Shohoku still has three players who nominally play point guard, none of them are competent as their substitutes.
Although Shohoku's Mugure was not on the court, they still had a sharp knife, that is Mitsui Shou. Mitsui used Horita's cover to break into the inside and scored two points.
Point guard No. 7 broke through Iida this time, but Mitsui was already prepared. At the moment he broke through Iida, he made up for the defense and stole the ball from No. 7, and then he made a fast break and scored 2 points.
In this attack, Sakata was on the periphery, making it impossible for Mitsui to assist. As a result, No. 7 singled out Ito and scored.
After being hit once, Iida used the screen to bypass No. 7's defense. He attacked directly. He made a mid-range shot from the free throw line. The Shoyo players did not expect Iida to take the initiative to attack, so no one defended. Iida made the shot.
Sakata fired a shot from outside the box, but it missed, but Yanwan grabbed the rebound and scored on the second attack.
Mitsui broke through and caused a foul, and made the free throw!
"Shoyo requests a substitution, No. 5, No. 8, No. 7."
"Hmm? Shoyo replaced three players in a row? These three players are so tall." The Xiangbei players noticed the characteristics of the three players on the court.
“10号花形透194公分,11号高野昭一190公分,12号永野满188公分再加上原来的中锋严丸、翔阳的高度一下增长了很多啊”彩子看了一下资料,惊呼
"It seems that Shoyo is planning to use its high speed to limit Shohoku's inside breakthroughs. At the same time, it will use its height to strengthen the offense." Shigeru Tanabe immediately saw through Shoyo's intention.
Shoyo attacked, with Sakata as the point guard. Sakata passed the ball to Hanagata in the interior, facing Fukuda. He made a turnaround jump shot, and Fukuda tried his best to block it, but there was a height difference. Hanagata made the shot!
Xiangbei attacked, and Mitsui broke into the inside line. As soon as he entered the inside line, Takano and Nagano surrounded Mitsui from the left and right. Hanagata also rushed from the front.
"Three people double-teaming?" Even a strong man like Mitsui couldn't help but be surprised. The three people formed a circle and surrounded Mitsui. Mitsui couldn't get a chance to break through and shoot. "Mitsui" Iida signaled Mitsui to hand the ball back and reorganize the attack. But the moment Mitsui passed the ball, Takano jumped up and intercepted it.
"Takano" Sakata quickly ran towards Xiangbei's half while signaling for the ball. Takano immediately passed the ball and Sakata easily scored two points.
Xiangbei attacked again. This time, although Fukuda ran out of space, he still managed to get the ball, but Hanagata blocked Fukuda's attack under the basket. This time, Mitsui was prepared. When Hanagata got the ball, he went to steal it, but it didn't work, but Hanagata's plan to launch a first pass failed. And Iida had already caught up with Sakata. Xiangyang couldn't launch a fast break.
"Tsk, Xiangbei's response is also very fast, but we Xiangyang are not blindly playing run and gun. We are also good at positional warfare because we have four tall players." Sakata (inner thoughts), "Yanmaru", Sakata passed the ball to the inside. Yanmaru attacked Horita, although he missed, but Hanagata grabbed the offensive rebound and dunked directly, causing Fukuda to foul! Hanagata made the free throw!
Shohoku attacked again. Mitsui used the screen to pass Sakata and shot directly and quickly. This time the Shoyo players had no time to block him and the shot hit the target!
"As expected of Mitsui, Shoyo was almost able to block him, but Mitsui was able to use this moment to score." Gaotou Riki couldn't help but praise Mitsui's strength. "A Shen, you must learn Mitsui's fast three-pointer. Your height is a big advantage. If your shooting speed is faster, then your outside attack will be a killer for Hainan." After praising Mitsui, Gaotou turned his head and said to his players. "Understood, coach," A Shen stared at Mitsui off the court
Sakata went to the three-point line and faced Mitsui. He suddenly jumped up and shot a three-pointer. "It's not that easy!" Mitsui, who was highly focused, immediately jumped up to block the shot. His fingertips even touched the basketball. "Rebound!" Mitsui shouted
Sure enough, the ball hit the basket and bounced high. A green figure of "my" took the ball. It was Takano. Takano grabbed the rebound and Takano rose again.
"Shoyo's height advantage inside is too great. It's hard for us to grab rebounds," said Ayako helplessly.
"It's not that easy" Mitsui rushed back and blocked the ball from behind, but Hanagata got the ball.
"You can't score a goal!" Mitsui rushed over again
"Captain" Hanagata did not choose to attack, but passed the ball to the outside. "Oops" Mitsui returned to the inside defense, and no one paid attention to Sakata on the outside. Sakata got the ball and hit the three-pointer steadily.
"These guys have too obvious a size advantage," Horita and Fukuda of Xiangbei secretly complained. They had no chance to touch the backboard.
In this attack by Xiangbei, Iida brought the ball to the front court and found that Mitsui was being watched closely by Sakata and Hanagata, and had no chance to get the ball. "Give it to me," Katsumi ran over and asked. Iida handed the ball to Katsumi, who adjusted himself. He shot, but a big hand immediately reached out. It was Nagano, who rushed out to block Katsumi's shot. If Katsumi shot, the ball would most likely be blocked, so Katsumi had to pass the ball in the air.
"Although Kemei's three-point shot is excellent, his shooting speed is much slower than Mitsui's. Shoyo can take this opportunity to block his three-point shot." Tanaoka Shigeka once again entered the commentary mode.
"Snap!" Takano directly intercepted the ball.
"Hurry up and get back on defense!" Iida and Mitsui hurried back, but this time Sakata made a direct three-pointer, and Shoyo further expanded its lead.
"Xiangbei requests a timeout!"
