Slam Dunk Construction

Chapter 96 Counterattack and Resistance

Shohoku made the first attack, Miyagi took control of the ball, and with Horita's blocking, the ball was given to Mitsui. Mitsui did not choose a three-point shot for the first goal, but made a mid-range shot at 57:39 after the breakthrough. Shohoku continued to consolidate Points difference.

Xiangyang attacked, Fujima sped up, Mitsui, Miyagi, and Shibata cooperated well, they didn't make Xiangyang quicken, Akagi and Hota were also able to settle safely, and the game entered a positional battle.

Fujima is holding the ball on the outside, and he is also a little tired. After all, when Xiangyang is not in good condition, he is often counted on him alone.Fujima has been pulling the ball left and right. At this time, Miyagi met a hard body. Miyagi peeked at it, and it turned out to be that guy Hanakata!
Here in Xiangbei, Horita followed. This pick-and-roll naturally switched defenses.Fujima went straight past Horita and made a jump shot at 41:57 before no one in Xiangbei could react. Xiangyang's goal was pretty good, and his cooperation was beautiful.

Coach Anxi also nodded. He didn't expect that Coach Yokokawa came up with their own pick-and-roll tactics!It's not easy, but looking at Fujima and Hanakata, these two are really suitable for this style of play.

In fact, this tactic of Xiangyang is a tactic that coach Yokokawa came up with after seeing Xiangbei's tactic last year and after failing in the national competition last year.

That is to say, this tactic only started to be practiced last winter. It was originally intended to save Hainan, but they didn't expect to be forced so badly by Xiangbei, so they decided to use this tactic in advance for practice.

At first, coach Yokokawa was simply jealous of Xiangbei's tactics, and came up with Xiangyang's pick-and-roll.But there is one thing, Fujima and Hanakata are indeed suitable for this style of play, but they are different from Mitsui and Horita. Fujima and the others only met in high school, and the degree of tacit understanding is incomparable.

Shohoku attacked, Horita came to block again, Mitsui's body was also hot, this one came directly to an open three-pointer and hit 60:41, neither of the two sides could do anything to each other, they could blast each other.

In the next few rounds, neither side could do anything to each other.The scores were rising alternately, and Fujima also successfully fouled Hota for the second time.This is also everyone's consensus on Xiangbei's cooperative tactics. It is impossible to prevent it. Except for Xiangbei's own shots, the rest is to send Hota away.

But this year's Horita looked much more cunning, and he played for almost 5 minutes in the second half, and Fujima only gave him a foul.

Shohoku Mitsui assisted Horita and scored another goal at 67:50. Shohoku's advantage is still quite obvious, and it looks very good. It is Xiangyang's turn to counterattack.

Xiangyang also used the same pick-and-roll tactic, Huagata came over to block it, and Fujima quickly broke through Miyagi and passed.But this time Xiangyang did not form an attack. Fujima had just passed by, and Mitsui appeared in this position, and suddenly reached out to form a steal!
The ball is seen clearly enough, Xiangbei's blocking tactics are very mature, and there are almost no other openings for people to sneak attack.However, after a few minutes of Xiangyang's cooperation, Mitsui, who had been playing with him, saw the gap.

Mitsui went down quickly, although Fujima followed, but his footing was unstable.Mitsui directly made an emergency stop jumper and hit 69:50, the point difference approached [-] points, and Xiangyang was in danger again.

Coach Anxi was also quite satisfied with Mitsui's judgment. The guy with a better basketball IQ in the game did not disappoint him.

Everyone can practice the pick-and-roll, and the operation is also simple. Otherwise, why are Malone and Stockton the most famous pick-and-roll tactics? Why can’t others cooperate so easily?

This kind of play that requires tacit understanding is not something you can easily practice if you are optimistic about it. If everyone can practice this thing, the selection of pick-and-roll combinations will not be so valuable!
People who also play pick-and-rolls are the easiest to see the loopholes in other people's pick-and-rolls, so this small loophole in Xiangyang was discovered by Xiangbei.However, it is obviously impossible for Xiangbei to easily defeat his opponent by relying on this discovery.

Xiangyang's next attack still came with a pick-and-roll, and Fujima made a defensive steal with a pass back.Xiangyang also made targeted adjustments for the 52:69 mid-range catch. After all, Fujima also has a very high basketball IQ.

Then Xiangyang made another fast break for Totsuka and a cut shot for Hirai. Xiangyang also played quite well here.

However, there are many changes here in Xiangbei. Captain Shibata's breakthrough shot and Miyagi's sudden cut. Except for Akagi who deliberately conserved his energy, everyone else played very well.

But there is one thing, it is still the rebounding problem. Xiangyang’s adjustment can’t solve the disadvantage of rebounding. Almost a missed shot will give Xiangbei a chance to counterattack. Akagi’s offensive and defensive rebounds are almost maxed out!
The audience looked at Akagi and said: "Look at that gorilla in Xiangbei, how many rebounds did he grab? I can't count it. It feels like there may be more than [-] rebounds, right?" Nonsense, anyway, watching Akagi grab rebounds, it feels like no one else has grabbed rebounds.

Here, a technical statistician said: "Xiangbei's Akagi has a strong rebound in this game, and he scored 18 rebounds in the second half of the game! Isn't this amazing? How can Xiangbei's lead be achieved?" Breaking through 79 points, I think Akagi also contributed a lot." It happened that this ball was hit by Xiangbei, and the score was 58:21, leading Xiangbei by [-] points!
Coach Anxi doesn't know the rebounding ability of the second-year Akagi in the original book, but how do you feel that although the second-year Akagi is also a good rebounder, he should not be able to compare with the Akagi he trained himself?
Under the key cultivation of coach Anxi, Akagi has already skyrocketed, and he is completely different from the original Akagi! 18 rebounds, 7 offensive rebounds, what is the concept?You must know that Xiangyang's first rebounder Huaxing has only scored 5 rebounds so far!

For Xiangyang, both Hainan and Lingnan need to be observed. Hainan is respect for old opponents, and Lingnan is trying to find a way to advance to the whole country!It seems that Xiangyang should be the place to start.

Coach Tian Gang also saw the weakness of Xiangyang's rebounding board. The place they attack is the rebounding board. Coach Tian Gang also has high hopes for Yuzhu. Advantage, their Lingnan is not just...

Hainan has seized Xiangyang's lifeline here, and they pay more attention to this Xiangbei.Coach Gaotou said to his insider: "Look at Akagi from Xiangbei, it's not a problem for him to score 20+ rebounds in this game. If he plays against us, he can still get so many rebounds The ball, we can surrender directly! What do you guys say inside?"

The boss of Hainan's inside line is the vice-captain Nakao, and the kid said: "Supervisor, don't worry, Akagi's rebounding ability is almost second to none in the whole country, but with me in Hainan, I won't let him be so arrogant!" Akagi put pressure on Hainan, but he couldn't scare Hainan.

Coach Anxi looked at Xiangbei's efforts with a smile on the sidelines, and their point difference has stabilized at more than 8 points.At this time, Xiangyang found that this tactic was not good, and it had been proven that they could not catch up with the point difference. They called a timeout, and the current time was about [-] minutes, and the game was over.
