Chapter 85: The Strongest Rival (7)
"Xiangbei players are ready to play, and the halftime is coming soon." The staff of the stadium came in and reminded.
"While Sanwang keeps winning, he is slowly regarded as a king's army by everyone. It is natural to think that their victory is a matter of course. This puts great pressure on the Sanwang players. This pressure is even greater than when other teams face Sanwang. After all, they are just a group of high school students. I think it is not easy for them to bear such a lot of pressure. We can work hard in this regard. Remember - this is the strongest opponent you have encountered since you participated in the game. Put your skills, strength, energy and will in the game. This will be a game that you can remember for life." After that, Coach Anxi waved his hand and let the players enter the court. []
Akagi and Kawada jumped evenly, and after the basketball fell, the players on both sides scrambled together.
Zebei's chaos army grabbed the basketball, and accelerated to the Xiangbei three-point line without any hesitation, directly jumped and shot, chasing the score to single digits.
Miyagi was surrounded by Zebei and Fukatsu who had just scored the goal as soon as they received the pass.
"Double-team defense!!!" Amu, who had suffered from the pain of the mountain king, shouted.
"That's it... Sanwang's specialty is 'pressing the whole audience'!" Coach Gaotou closed the folding fan in his hand with a snap: "If Xiangbei cannot crack Shanwang's tactics, then the leading score will be eaten up in an instant!"
"Look at the action of Shanwang players!"
"So agile! Just like the game just started!"
"I'm so awesome and played halftime without any impact on Sanwang players?!!"
"Miyagi passes the ball!!!" Akagi wished he could pass all his strength to Miyagi.
"This bastard pushes me!" Miyagi shouted to remind the referee.
Unfortunately, although the referee stared at this situation with wide eyes, he did not whistle.
"Miyagi·····here." Yueze ran up to pick him up.
However, Miyagi's pass was still snatched from it by Yokoze.
When Miyagi saw his pass, he shouted, "Don't underestimate my chief guard, Miyagi Liangda!!!" Then he chased after him desperately.
Fujima, who was training far away in Kanagawa, staggered and almost fell down.
Amu, who was sitting in the audience, was speechless.
"Bang~~~Swish~~~~~"
"Dou~~~~~~ The red 7th foul goal scored is valid, and one free throw is added!"
Miyagi's rushing forward did not have the effect as expected, but instead gave the other party a chance to have a '2+1'.
Zebei happily took the free throw and hit the free throw.
Since the opening, Zebei has scored 6 points for Shanwang with consecutive shots and free throws.
51:46, the score gap instantly returned to 5 points.
Seeing Miyagi being easily scored three-pointers by Zeki, Amu murmured to himself: "If you want to become Kanagawa's chief point guard, Miyagi is not qualified yet!!"
Kiyota was speechless when he saw Amu's performance: "It turns out that Senior Mu still cares about the title of chief player..."
"Sanwang's pressing in the whole game is stronger than last year. Look at Fukatsu's defensive movements - they are actually lower than Miyagi's squat. This consumes a lot of energy for the players!" Takasaki felt chill when he recalled the scene when facing the whole game of Sanwang.
"I've really made a desperate bet after seeing Shanwang. I'll overtake it in one fell swoop in the opening stage of the second half!"
"How will Xiangbei deal with Sanwang's special tactics?"
Xiangbei serves, and Sanwang is still pressing on the court.
Xiangbei players tried their best to break through Shanwang's blockade in the backcourt, but the results were minimal.
"It's 10 seconds!! Get through half the game soon!!"
Miyagi knew that it would be impossible not to pass the ball to the frontcourt, so he threw the ball hard at Sakuragi, who was already standing in the opponent's half.
Unfortunately, although Miyagi's idea is correct, how could the Sanwang player not know about such obvious intentions?
So the basketball flying towards Sakuragi was stolen by Fukazu.
The busy Xiangbei defense also had loopholes, and Fukazu cut into the game and made a successful throw.
51:48 The Sanwang has already caught up with a goal difference.
"Do you remember the coach's tactics in the midfield? Don't panic. Shanwang can't hold on for long. The game's pressing tactics are not that strong. What's more important is the impact on our psychology. Once there is a mistake, you will start to mess up first, and then there will be continuous mistakes. The opponent has the opportunity to take advantage of it. Now it depends on our own. Don't be afraid of mistakes and do what the coach arranges." Yueze loudly reminded his teammates that from the second half until Shanwang even chased 8 points, Yueze didn't even encounter basketball, let alone stand up and stop the decline.
"Teacher, do we need to call a timeout? The full pressing of Sanwang has already played a role." Mu Mu looked back at Coach Anxi. Once the coach agreed, he would immediately run to the technical desk to apply.
"Haha!! Yue Ze has finished everything I want to say. Now it depends on whether they can defeat themselves." Coach Anxi rejected Mu Mu's suggestion.
Sure enough, Xiangbei's serve has changed.
This time, Xiangbei players stood in their own half and waited for the serve.
Akagi suddenly stood up to block Fukazu, who was following Miyagi, and Rukawa Kaede saw the opportunity and passed the ball out.
After Miyagi received the ball, Makizawa and Rukawa Kaede appeared in his left and right directions, ready to pick up Miyagi at any time. Akagi blocked the man and ran to the center line.
At this time, Sakuragi had already appeared in Sanno's half and greatly restrained Sanno's defensive formation.
After two passes, Miyagi and Yukizawa Rukawa finally arrived at Sanno's halftime. Shotoki never thought that dribbling was so difficult to pass the halftime.
Although Shanwang did not successfully steal, it aimed to delay Xiangbei's offensive rhythm and returned to the tactic of half-time man-tapping.
"The ball-handed guard Miyagi must pass quickly and accurately without sticking to the ball. The two men, Maezawa and Rukawa Kaede, who have strong dribbling ability, assist Miyagi in the backcourt to help Miyagi take the ball safely through the halftime, while the center Akagi did not fall into the position first, but stood in the middle and became a receiving point, adding a choice for the pass of the point guard and expanding the opponent's defense area. Sakuragi, who has a very fast dribbling ability, quickly goes to the opponent's basket and can at least restrain one defensive player. If the opportunity is still bad when the frontcourt, you must stabilize and play slowly. As long as you deal with it carefully and timely, Sanno will not have the energy to continue this extreme defensive method."
This is the tactics that coach Anxi assigned to Xiangbei during the halftime break. However, although Xiangbei was prepared just now, Shanwang succeeded twice. Perhaps the opponent would successfully intercept the ball in the future, but Xiangbei at least knew how to do it.
Chapter completed!
