After defeating the Mountain King, the Shohoku team continued to advance and defeated Xiangyang in a relatively easy way.
From a technical and tactical level, the Xiangyang team was inevitably restrained by the Shohoku team.
The mobility of the Xiangbei team is no less than that of the Xiangyang team. In addition, the two teams are very familiar with each other, which also makes the Xiangyang team's run and gun tactics compromised.
On the other hand, the Xiangyang team was unable to contain the Xiangbei team.
This is also related to Sakuragi's progress too fast. In terms of overall strength, Xiangbei is already above Xiangyang.
Judging from the strength of the five positions, Akagi ≥ Hanagata, Sakuragi ＞ Kishimoto, Rukawa Kaede ＞ Hasegawa, Mitsui ＞ Minami Retsu, Miyagi ＜ Fujima.
Except for Miyagi, the other four positions of the Shoyo team were almost at a disadvantage, so Hanagata could still compete with Akagi.
Under Fujima's organization, the Shoyo team did not fall into much of a disadvantage.
The key to this game is rebounding. The ability of Akagi + Sakuragi to grab rebounds is far superior to the combination of Hanagata + Kishimoto.
Both sides had twice as many rebounds as Xiangyang. They grabbed more than ten offensive rebounds alone, and Xiangyang took the lead.
With Shohoku's victory over Xiangyang, it means that this winter competition is another civil war in Kanagawa Prefecture.
The next morning!
Under the enthusiastic cheers of the audience, the two teams began to play.
Lingnan: Yuzhu, Nanxiang, Chishang, Itakang and Xiandao
Shohoku: Akagi, Sakuragi, Rukawa Maple, Mitsui and Miyagi
Unlike before, Lingnan's starting lineup has changed, and Naito did not play.
It's not that Naito doesn't want to play, it's just that he can't.
During the match against Aiwa Gakuin, Naito strained a muscle in his right foot and has not yet fully recovered.
For the sake of the players' health, coach Taoka sternly rejected Naito's request to play.
Naito could only sit on the bench in boredom, watching his teammates play.
It can only be said that injuries are also part of basketball!
"Naito didn't play, great!"
After seeing Lingnan's starting lineup, everyone in Xiangbei breathed a sigh of relief.
If Naito is present, the twin towers formed by him and Uozumi will surely become an insurmountable peak for the Shohoku team.
Now it's better, Lingnan is without Naito, and the Shohoku team sees hope of winning the championship.
After the game started, Yuzhu won the jump ball with an absolute advantage.
In order to avoid being beaten into a fast break by the Lingnan team, Akagi didn't even bother to deal with it and immediately turned around and returned to defense.
Xiandao held the ball through half the court, and after Uozumi stood still, he immediately passed the ball.
bang~
Uozumi caught the ball in a low position. He felt it with his back and felt that Akagi had obviously lowered his center of gravity. He immediately used his right foot as the axis and relied on him to easily complete a roller-turn.
Akagi was startled and hurriedly chased after him, but he couldn't keep up with Uozumi's footsteps.
Yuzhu held the ball facing the frame, took a long stride, and went directly to the basket.
Sakuragi wanted to make up the defense, but it was too late.
bang~
Uozumi dunked with both hands, and the basketball hoop made an overwhelming sound. With its amazing arc, it seemed that it might be torn off at any time.
Uozumi hurriedly let go and landed. Even though the quality of the current basketball stand was obviously better than before, he was still gaining weight. As long as he used it a few more times, he might not be able to tear it off.
Shohoku served, and Miyagi held the ball past half-court.
He observed the situation and then passed the ball to Rukawa Kaede.
Compared to other teammates, Rukawa Kaede faces the weakest defense because his defense target is Itakura.
As for Ikegami, he went to fall in love with Mitsui and kill him again.
In fact, thanks to his excellent physical fitness, Itakura's defense is also above the passing line, but it is really difficult to restrict Rukawa Kaede.
Rukawa Kaede used the rhythm change of the cross step to easily break through Itakura, and shot the basketball in his hand before Nango could help defend.
sigh~
The basketball is hollow into the basket!
Offensive and defensive conversion!
Soon, Uozumi received the ball in the low post again.
This time, Xiangbei resolutely chose to double-team, and Sakuragi pounced straight with the summer national competition, Sakuragi's defense has made considerable progress, mainly in terms of awareness.
Before being double-teamed, Yuzhu made a ground pass and accurately passed the basketball to Nanxiang.
Chi~
Sakuragi hurriedly stamped his foot, and there was a harsh friction sound between the sole of the shoe and the floor.
Using the reaction force, Sakuragi returned to defense very quickly and successfully interfered with Nanxiang's layup.
Uozumi was trying to grab an offensive rebound, but Rukawa Kaede and Mitsui rushed to the basket and joined forces with Akagi to perform a full-body performance.
On the other side, Sakuragi overwhelmed Nanxiang and successfully protected the rebound.
Seeing this, Yuzhu shook his head helplessly and called his teammates to return to defense.
Almost identical to the previous round, Miyagi once again passed the ball to Rukawa Kaede.
Outside the three-point line, Rukawa Kaede continued to dribble with his hips, making a breakthrough. The moment Itakura's center of gravity changed, he collected the ball and made a three-pointer.
sigh~
Itakura looked at the ball and sighed, watching helplessly as the basketball penetrated the basket.
"Good job, Rukawa Kaede!"
"Good shot!"
"One more ball!"
……
Everyone in Xiangbei was full of momentum, and then quickly returned to defense under Akagi's scolding.
The last thing Akagi wanted was to be beaten into a fast break by Lingnan. After all, he could be said to be the slowest one in the game.
He rarely even fights for offensive rebounds, because even if Lingnan lacks Naito, as long as there are fish living there, it will be difficult to grab offensive rebounds.
Soon, Lingnan made a comeback.
This time, Yuzhu was double-teamed again.
Uozumi once again passed the basketball to his teammate who was in an open position, but the ball was blocked. Under Sakuragi's crazy defense, it ended in a blackout again.
It has to be said that Sakuragi's growth rate is too fast, and now he has replaced Akagi and become the core of Shohoku's defense.
This reminds Uozumi of future hard specials. Due to the difference in the length of the three-point line between the high school league and the NBA, Sakuragi can even defend beyond the three-point line.
The game continued, and before I knew it, 5 minutes had passed.
10:17
Lingnan is in front, and Xiangbei is behind.
The audience never expected that Wang Zhe Lingnan had a bad start and the score was actually suppressed by Xiangbei.
Yuzhu was also speechless. His teammates didn't seem to have touched their hands today, as if they were possessed by the little blacksmith in Milan. They were so frightening that their hit rate even dropped below [-]%.
If Uozumi hadn't remained stable, Lingnan would have been pulled down by double digits by Xiangbei if it wasn't for the start.
Of course, this is also related to the high efficiency of Xiangbei.
Most of Shohoku's possessions were concentrated on Rukawa Kaede. Even if he scored twelve points in a row, Rukawa Kaede was only slightly out of breath.
Compared with the first half of the year, Rukawa Kaede's physical fitness has been further improved.
Rukawa Kaede's physical improvement is also related to Uozumi. He once asked Uozumi for advice on how to improve his physical fitness and become a physical monster like Sakuragi.
Uozumi gave a suggestion, asking Rukawa Kaede to insist on long-distance running with the dog every day. As long as the dog vomits, it will be successful.
Rukawa Kaede immediately put it into practice. He bought a golden retriever on the same day and started long-distance running with the golden retriever every day.
His perseverance was astonishing. He persisted every day regardless of wind or rain. With his unremitting efforts, it only took him a few months to achieve the feat of vomiting a dog.
In Uozumi's opinion, Rukawa Kaede is even more stubborn than Sakuragi.
You must know that Sakuragi often goes to play 'Pachinko' with the Sakuragi Corps, works part-time, or wastes time on Haruko.
Rukawa Kaede is different. He only does three things every day, eat, sleep and play basketball.
ride a bike?
Are you sure he's not sleeping?
"Bullshit!"
In this regard, Uozumi expressed his helplessness. He felt that it was better to seek help from others than to seek help from others, not to mention that he also wanted to test his own limits and leave a shocking 'performance' for this last high school game.
From a technical and tactical level, the Xiangyang team was inevitably restrained by the Shohoku team.
The mobility of the Xiangbei team is no less than that of the Xiangyang team. In addition, the two teams are very familiar with each other, which also makes the Xiangyang team's run and gun tactics compromised.
