Chapter 80 Xiangyang's Weakness

"Xiangyang's starting lineup is taller than yours, which will make it more difficult for us to attack inside, so we play fast breaks at the beginning and use speed to wear them down." Xiangyang's starting lineup is prepared to block Mu Shenyi , but it is not suitable to be used on Xiangbei. Xiangbei has Akagi and Sakuragi, which can limit their inside attack, and there are Miyagi, Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi who are suitable for fast breaks. In the original book, Xiangbei also uses Fast break to catch up with the score.

At the start of the game, because Xiangbei had already defeated Lingnan, who was also in the semi-finals, Xiangbei was not as afraid of Xiangyang as in the original book. In addition, the four starters hadn't played the whole game before, and they had already held back a lot of strength. , Miyagi's steal caused Rukawa Kaede to score a fast break dunk.

Akagi was instructed by the coach to focus on offense from the very beginning, and adapted to his offensive style after Hanagi scored two shots, and sent blocks one after another with Sakuragi Hanamichi; Xiangbei quickly took a 10-4 lead.

Fujima couldn't sit still anymore, Huagata stopped Fujima from playing with his eyes, trying to use the advantages of the four elders to grab rebounds and get a chance to score a second offense.

"I'll do it!" Nagano missed a shot, Takano blocked Akagi, Hanakata tried to grab the offensive rebound and make a dunk.

"This is mine!" However, seeing that Hana's fingertips were about to touch the basketball, Hanamichi Sakuragi jumped from behind and swiped the ball away from above his head. Holding it firmly in his hand, he quickly passed it to Miyagi, "Xiaomiya, catch it!"

"Attack!" Miyagi advanced quickly with the ball. Ito desperately slowed down Miyagi's speed, allowing Hanagara and others to settle in. He set up a 1-3-1 defensive formation in the penalty area and locked the penalty area.

The penalty area was locked, but Mitsui Shou from the outside line missed it. Miyagi made a fake pass to Akagi under the basket, tricked Ito into jumping up, and took the opportunity to pass the ball to Mitsui Shou. Mitsui caught the ball and made an open shot. The point difference widened to 13 to 4.

It was Xiangyang's turn to attack, Huagao pulled Akagi out of the penalty area and shot, Takano blocked Sakuragi, Nagano grabbed the rebound and made a shot. This time the tactic was achieved, Fujima seemed to see hope and sat down again.

Looking back, Kaede Rukawa couldn't score in singles, Xiangyang got another chance to attack, Hanakata still pulled Akagi away, but this time Kaede Rukawa entered the penalty area and helped stop Nagano, only Takano and Hasegawa couldn't stop Sakura at all Mu, "The rebounding king Sakuragi is here!"

Huadao took the rebound again, and Hanakata's plan went bankrupt. Seeing this scene, Shen Long was very pleased, Rukawa Kaede's team spirit has gradually been revealed.

"Fujima has to play!" Seeing that the score has been stretched to double digits, Shen Long said, "This is Xiangyang's second weakness. Now there is only Huaxing on the court as a ball-holding point. With restrictions, there is no second person who can attack with the ball, and the rebounds are controlled by Hanamichi Sakuragi, and their offense has been locked by us."

Except for Huaxing, Xiangyang's four big men are all defensively superior to offensive, lacking the ability to attack with the ball like Fukuda Jizhao; Hainan has three scoring points: Amu, Kiyota, and Ashin; Lingnan has Xiandao, Yuzhu and Fukuda, Shonhoku has Akagi, Mitsui, and Rukawa Kaede. Among the four strong teams in Kanagawa, Xiangyang has the worst scoring ability.

Five minutes into the game, the score was 18-6. Fujima called a timeout and replaced Ito. Shen Long made corresponding adjustments. Outside, Mitsui, you have to take on the heavy responsibility of scoring, Akagi, help Sakuragi block people when attacking, Hanamichi, the offensive rebound depends on you."

Fujishin's appearance gave Xiangyang an extra point of attack with the ball. He quickly used a breakthrough drift shot to help Xiangyang recover two points, and then intercepted the ball from Hanamichi Sakuragi's rebound and assisted Hanakata to score.

However, Shohoku did not panic. Mitsui Toshiyo got rid of Hasegawa from the bottom line under the basket with Akagi's blocking, and received a pass from Miyagi to the right corner and hit a three-pointer again.

Rukawa Feng looked at Mitsui Shou's running position thoughtfully.

"Change defense, Takano, after Mitsui Shoutoshi gets rid of Hasegawa, follow up." Fujima immediately came up with a countermeasure, trying his best to get a three-pointer in front of Miyagi.

Hisashi Mitsui ran again, and Takano followed closely, leaving him no chance to shoot, so he could only pass the ball to Akagi, Akagi's strong attack was blocked, Fujima launched a fast break and made another victory.

Xiangbei made a substitution, and Mu Mu came on the stage to replace Rukawa Feng, "Rukawa Feng, you need to rest for a while, you will need to score and attack later."

When Mugure came on the stage, Xiangbei's rebounds were weakened, but Mitsui Hisashi entered the penalty area at the right time to help Sakuragi block people, making up for one or two. On the offensive, Xiangbei had Mitsui Hisashi and Mumu two three-pointers, allowing Xiangyang's joint defense It became a display, and Fujima had to draw another person from the basket to guard Mumu.

But in this way, the defense at the basket was weakened. Miyagi passed the ball to Mitsui, and Mitsui made a fake shot to drive Hasegawa to the inside.

"As expected of coach Anxi, Fujima is still too young compared to him!" Tian Gang in the stands said with emotion, Xiangyang's every change was restricted by Xiangbei, and Fujima had to lead the offense and ponder on the court Tactics consume a lot of physical strength, "If this continues, Fuji really can't hold on to the audience."

At the beginning of the second half, Fujima took advantage of the half-time break to think up a strategy against Mu Mu. He realized that Mu Mu's athletic ability was not outstanding, and planned to stick to the inside line first, and then go up to defend when Mu Mu received the ball. Unfortunately, in the second half, Shen Long did not give up. Mu Mu came up, but was replaced by Rukawa Feng who had recovered his physical strength.

Rukawa Kaede's breakthrough and shooting made Xiangyang's inside a mess. On defense, Miyagi adopted a strategy of preventing shots and not preventing breakthroughs against Fujima. Halfway through, Fujima was out of breath.

"Xiangyang is finished! Their defense is not bad, but their offense is too bad. Only Fujima and Hanakata can't beat Xiangbei to death." Mu Shen looked at Fujima with complicated eyes. In the joint finals, this opponent who has been fighting with him for two years will be absent.

When the score reached 15 points, Shen Long started to rotate again, allowing the substitute to come on stage to experience the high-intensity game. Xiangyang slowly closed the score, but time was running out, and finally Xiangbei won by 8 points.

Although the score was not big, the rhythm of the whole game was firmly in the hands of Xiangbei. It is worth mentioning that Hanamichi Sakuragi played the whole game this time and was not sent off.

"Coach, we have reached the joint final!" The players in Xiangbei burst into tears with excitement.
