Chapter 257 Ryonan vs. Hakata: Second half, Ryonan counterattacks
"Everyone performed very well, keep it up in the second half." Coach Kanai of Hakata Corporation was satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, with 40 points in the first half and a 12-point lead. Although there is a certain gap compared with the group stage (Hakata Corporation's group stage data, the average score in the first half was 45.3 points, and the lead was 22.7 points), it is still an acceptable result for Hakata Corporation.
"Hakata is indeed a national veteran defensive team." Yu Zhu sat on the bench and wiped his sweat with a towel. Ryonan, who had been overwhelming in the group stage, only scored 28 points under Hakata's defense. Even in the Kanagawa preliminaries, when he was resting, Ryonan did not get such a low score. It can be seen that Hakata's defensive ability is strong.
"That's right. The two big guys in the interior stood under the basket, and it was difficult for the interior to score." Miyagi was also out of breath. In the second half of the first half, when Miyagi rushed into the interior, he was blocked twice by Hakata's interior. After taking a breath, Miyagi continued, "At the beginning of the game, the guard (Xiaolu) did not show his extraordinary strength, but later, it was not easy to defend him."
"Hakata's rotation speed is very fast. Even if we can get an open space with the help of screens, someone will come to guard us immediately. We don't have many good opportunities to shoot." Wu Dai took over the conversation. In the first half, Wu Dai, like Miyagi, was blocked by Hakata twice. He made 6 of 2 three-pointers.
The Ryonan players talked about how powerful their opponent was.
"What's wrong with you? Are you going to give up?" Tian Gang was furious when he heard his disciple's words.
"We won't lose," Xiandao retorted
"Looking at the way you are now, you have already lost. What is our slogan? Brave and courageous. Are you really so brave and courageous?" Tian Gang yelled. At this time, the door of the locker room opened.
"I'm back, coach. Green Wind finally lost to Sanno Industrial. How is our battle going?" Aida Hikoichi rushed back.
"Oh, Hikoichi is back." Ikegami briefly told Hikoichi Aida about the situation in the first half.
"Hakata Corporation is really good. They only allowed us to score 28 points. How was Sendou-senpai's performance?" Aida Hikoichi suddenly remembered what Murasakibara said.
“I got 8 points”
"Coach, before I left, Shohoku's senior Murasaki gave me a suggestion. To deal with a defensive team like Hakata Corporation, when the game is deadlocked, we need to use some unreasonable attacks. That is to say, we should use our individual abilities to tear through Hakata Corporation's defense. We can't play against them as a whole." Aida Hikoichi repeated Murasaki's words to Taoka Shigeichi
"Attack without reason? Use personal ability?" Tian Gangshi Shigeka repeated this sentence again and again. "Mumu means that we need Sendoh to attack with all his strength?"
"Yes, that's what Muguro-senpai meant. He said that if you want to defeat a team that plays team basketball, sometimes you need a star player to play solo."
"Do we need stars to play one-on-one?" Shigeichi Tanaoka thought. It can be said that this is contrary to Shigeichi Tanaoka's team-building philosophy. Stars are important, but he still focuses on team offense. Otherwise, an offensive madman like Sendoh can be transformed into a point guard by him. After a while, Shigeichi Tanaoka raised his head and said, "Sendoh! I will give you unlimited firing rights in the second half. Your task is to get the ball into the opponent's basket. Everyone should cooperate with Sendoh to score. Do you understand? It's up to you, Sendoh."
"Leave it to me!" Everyone in Lingnan felt that the fighting spirit of Sendo was burning.
"Scoring is the most important thing, but if your teammates have a good chance, you can also pass it to them, do you understand?" Tian Gangshi added.
"I understand, coach," Sendoh nodded.
"Ikegami, in the second half, you will replace Nango and be responsible for defending Hirai, so that Sendoh can play his best on the offensive end. Tanaoka Shigeichi continued to make arrangements.
At the beginning of the second half, Hakata Sho replaced Hyono with a second-year center No. 9 Sugiyama Sho, and the other positions remained unchanged.
The referee threw the ball high into the air and ran. The two giant centers of Ryonan and Hakata Corporation jumped high, "How can I stop in the top 16? I can't lose." With the belief that I must win, Yuzhu was the first to touch the basketball!
"Good shot, Captain!" Miyagi got the ball, took two steps and handed it to Sendoh.
Sendoh was holding the ball at the three-point line, and in front of him was the captain of Hakata Merchants, Hirai, who was ready for battle. Although Sendoh only scored 8 points in the first half and his performance was average, Hirai knew that the player in front of him was the trump card of Ryonan. The top eight Changcheng fell into his hands, so he must not be careless.
Left, right, or a direct jump shot? " Hirai focused on Sendoh's hands and feet, and consciously ignored the basketball that kept dancing under his crotch, in front of him, and behind him.
Sendoh's dribbling skills have long been perfected, and it is almost impossible to capture the direction of attack just by observing the movement of the basketball.
Only by observing the advance movements of the hands and feet can we have a chance to stop the opponent. Moreover, Xiandao also made 2 three-pointers in the battle with Changcheng, so we must not be careless.
Suddenly, Xiandao shrugged his shoulders and swung his right hand more vigorously.
"It's on the right!"
Hirai's heart trembled, and he quickly took a step to the right to block this attack route.
However, the next moment, Sendoh hit the ball to the right side of the floor, and his body strangely ran to the left.
Hirai was slightly stunned, then turned pale with horror.
The ball actually passed under his crotch and was caught by Sendoh who passed him from the left.
Hirai turned around hurriedly, trying to fill this defensive gap.
But Xiandao did not give him this opportunity.
After the ball was back in his hands, he did not continue to rush forward. Instead, he took a step to adjust his position and immediately jumped up, and the basketball left his fingertips with a whoosh.
Flying, spinning, and graceful arcs.
Swish!
Goal scored! 30:40
"Great goal, Sendoh!" Ryonan's substitute players cheered loudly
When Hakata was attacking, Hirai found that the defensive opponent in front of him had changed, and the No. 5 player immediately defended him closely, not giving him a chance to receive the ball.
"Hey, No. 5, if you keep guarding me like this, be careful or you won't be able to hold on until the end."
"I will do my best to restrain you. You can't score easily before I fall down." Chi Shang said firmly.
"This No. 5 is really tight in defense. I guess I can't give it to the captain." Xiaolu observed Hirai. Just now, after Sendoh scored, Hirai whispered to Xiaolu that he should give the ball to him in the next round. "Let's pass it to the inside line." However, just when Xiaolu made the decision, he suddenly felt his hands were empty. Miyagi took advantage of Xiaolu's distraction and reached out to steal the ball.
"Oops!" Xiaolu hurriedly turned around to defend. Bodo's defensive awareness was still very strong. They started to return to defense the moment Miyagi stole the ball. However, not everyone could stop Miyagi who rushed forward. In addition, the other four players of Ryonan except Yuzhu came to the front court at the first time. Bodo's players also dispersed to focus on their own players. Although they defended other players, they underestimated Miyagi. This time, Miyagi passed the opponent and scored a layup! 32:40
Elzak hit the inside and scored two points 32:42
Ryonan attacked, Miyagi handed the ball to Sendo again, Sendo stood outside the three-point line with the ball, his mouth raised, a raging fire of fighting rising and burning in his chest, the basketball hit the ground rapidly, Sendo's shoulders gently swayed back and forth, and he saw a gap, stepped with his left foot, and rushed to the left at an accelerated speed. Hirai on the opposite side was not slow either, and immediately slid to block, Sendo stopped abruptly, and pulled the ball back with his left hand, but just when Hirai breathed a sigh of relief, Sendo suddenly lowered his body and pushed the ball with his left hand to accelerate. When Hirai hurriedly moved left again, Sendo had already turned his body with his back, with his right foot as the axis, and pulled the ball with his left hand to make a 360-degree rotation around Hirai and came to the basket. Elzak was afraid of the fish pillar and did not rush up. Hakata was defended by Sugiyama Sho who had just come on the court. Sendo blocked the opponent with his left hand, and lightly picked up with his right hand, and the basketball went into the net lightly. At the same time, it also caused Sugiyama Sho to foul!
