NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

The timeout ends and both teams enter the court at the same time.

But what surprised everyone was that Xiangbei replaced Akagi, who had performed well in the first 10 minutes, with No. 5 scorer Kimura Kogure.

"It seems that the competition for the top center in Kanagawa Prefecture has come to an end for the time being. What's next is the tactical competition between the point guards!"

Fujima said that having played against Shohoku before, he was naturally familiar with Shohoku's lineup, which was the "Run and Gun" tactics.

Next, just as Fujima expected, Xiangbei started to play a run-and-gun tactic.

Xiangbei served the ball many times to promote fast breaks, and quickly passed the basketball to multiple people to quickly advance the ball to Ryonan's half.

Either cut in from the inside or shoot from the outside.

However, the proportion of outside shooting accounted for the majority. After all, even if the shot missed, there was Hanamichi, the little bully with quick steps, amazing speed, abundant physical strength and plenty of bounce, who could grab rebounds in the paint and conduct a second offense or pass the ball out for reorganization.

For a while, Xiangbei's offensive waves were faster than the other, and the attack was often completed within 10 seconds.

Although Sendoh tried his best to stop Shohoku's fast break engine, Miyagi Ryouta, Shohoku's fast break was like a wild horse out of a cage, running at full speed and unable to slow down at all.

He also saw the game last year where Fujima's Shoyo was "defeated" by Osaka's Touou High School with a run-and-gun game.

In comparison, the true shooting percentage of the Xiangbei team is indeed lower than that of Touou, but the score of the Xiangbei team is still not low.

Not to mention their defense is also better.

After running for a while, even Sendoh himself felt a little tired, not to mention the big guy Yuzumi Jun.

Sugiyama Shota looked at the situation on the field and analyzed:

"No wonder Xiangbei replaced Akagi. One reason was to preserve Akagi's energy, and the other was to launch a run-and-gun tactic. A big guy like him is not suitable for this tactic at all. Just look at Yuzumi."

Kazuo Karasawa is worthy of being the university supervisor and the head coach of the World Youth Championship. His vision is certainly better than that of Shota Sugiyama. He wiped his glasses, thought for a moment, and then said decisively:

"This is not a simple run-and-gun tactic. With the level of Shohoku's No. 7 guard, it is impossible to gain a complete advantage over Sendoh with just the run-and-gun tactic."

"Teacher, if this isn't a run-and-gun tactic, then what is it?"

Tang Ze Kazuo then slowly said:

"I don't know! Xiangbei's offensive in the first half was indeed a run-and-gun fast break style."

"But the difference is that Xiangbei often uses shooting instead of cutting in with a higher hit rate to end fast breaks, so naturally Xiangbei's true hit rate has dropped."

"But Xiangbei's every attack basically scored, the key lies in Xiangbei's No. 10!"

"He not only participated in this tactic on the offensive end and secured offensive rebounds, but was also active on the defensive end, assisting and helping out in defense, and was very aggressive."

In the special passage in the corridor, a scout reporter was writing furiously:

The amazing run-and-gun tactics, equipping the team's interior defensive core with three shooters who are good at running, jumping and shooting, and then guided by an excellent "fast break engine" point guard, will result in an amazing offensive advantage...

This currently unknown scout has no idea that his article on Xiangbei's tactics will be published across the ocean in a year or two.

It was discovered by another scout on the other side of the ocean and eventually became the prototype of the Houston Rockets' signature tactic - the earliest "One Star, Four Shoots".

At that time, the coach and management of the Mosaic team adopted this tactic and equipped their team's core inside player, top center Hakeem Olajuwon, with a group of three-point shooters:

Horry with a 37.9% three-point shooting percentage, Maxwell with a 32.4% three-point shooting percentage, Cassell with a 33% three-point shooting percentage, and Kenny Smith with a 42.9% three-point shooting percentage.

With this lineup and tactics, the Rockets quickly won the NBA championship in the 93-94 and 94-95 seasons within two years after the basketball god, boss Joe, briefly left the NBA.

……

At the end of the first half, Xiangbei led Ryonan 63:47.

Facing the combination of Xiangbei's fast break and run-and-gun tactics and the [pseudo] "one star and three shooters" tactics, the Ryonan team was obviously unable to resist. They could only strengthen their offense and rely on Yuzumi's role in the interior to score two points at a time.

Shinichi Maki, the point guard and former number one player of Kanagawa, explained:

"From the score, it can be seen that Ryonan's scoring ability has not weakened!"

"Ryonan's score in the last 10 minutes of the first half was basically the same as in the first 10 minutes, or even more."

"On the contrary, Xiangbei has exploded with huge offensive power thanks to their tactics. They are now unstoppable!"

Coach Gaotou also said secretly:

"I thought it would be a point guard battle, but it turned out to be a tactical battle."

"In this regard, Ryonan's [positional warfare] was defeated by Shohoku's [run-and-gun tactics]. No~ I can only say that Shohoku's unique run-and-gun tactics are too suitable for them."

"From this point of view, I have to admire Coach Anxi for tailoring this tactic for the team."

The hero behind the scenes, the real "master of tactics" - (Sakuragi) Hanamichi, took advantage of the halftime break and suggested in the locker room:

"Captain, we can't play like this in the second half."

"Even though Ryonan is more tired than us after yesterday's fierce battle, if we continue running like this, Ryonan will definitely be the first to collapse."

"But Xiao San and the others will be even more tired. If anything goes wrong, we won't have any other backup plans!"

"Asshole, who do you think will get into trouble?"

Mitsui was furious and looked at Hanamichi while panting.

Even Rukawa Kaede beside him looked over. For some reason, he felt "offended" by the red-haired monkey.

Hanamichi hurriedly explained:

"What I mean is, since the captain has rested for so long and is in good shape, why don't we take the initiative to fight a positional battle with Ryonan in the second half."

"We will hold on to this 16-point advantage and remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances."

"The results of the first 10 minutes of the first half have already proved that even in a positional battle, Ryonan can only be evenly matched with us at best."

"I think we should take this opportunity to test the level of Xiandao, what do you think, Sleepyhead?"

Rukawa Kaede, who had always been taciturn, surprisingly agreed with Hanamichi's opinion this time.

Compared to sitting on the bench and watching his teammates perform, Akagi certainly wants to play in the game more, as the game between him and Uozumi has not yet been decided.

Now, three of the five starting players agreed, and Xiangbei's tactics for the second half were determined:

The offense returned to the positional warfare of the first half, while the defense adopted a man-to-man tactic.

On the other side, in the Ryonan locker room, this was the first time they thought about the game tactics in the absence of Coach Takeo.

As the captain of the team, Yuzumi was the first to stand up and speak:

"In the second half, I will do my best to keep up with Xiangbei's pace and prevent them from widening the score. But the task of catching up is left to you, Sendoh!"

Xiandao shook off the sweat on his forehead and said:

"I will catch up with the score!"

Yuzumi saw this and shouted:

"Everyone, please! Help Sendo catch up to the score, and leave the inside defense to me!"

"It's x4."
