Slam Dunk, Start with a Perfect Three-Pointer

pause time.

There was a sound of surprise at the scene.

"Shohoku's center is too tough, is this the real strength of Shohoku players?"

"A rare physical confrontation, such a strong physical fitness!"

"Looking at the whole country, it is rare to see such a tough big center. Kanagawa County is indeed a strong county in basketball. It is hard to imagine that this level of center is only entering the national competition for the first time.

"Come on, Hanshin, give him back! Don't let him be too arrogant!"

The student shouted at the top of his voice.

Coach Chang Cheng was surprised.

Akagi is not only skilled inside, but also very tough physically.

Compared with Hanshin, it is still slightly inferior.

There is really no way around this.

You must know that Hanshin's inside strength is already the strongest player in Shizuoka Prefecture.

It can only be said that Akagi's personal ability is indeed too strong.

Coach Chang Cheng reminded immediately.

"Turn up defense against Akagi. Yoshida Sawa, forget about Shohoku's Shohoku's No. 9!"

This tactical adjustment is necessary.

Except for Akagi, the rest of Shohoku's players on the field have no ability to attack independently.

If it weren't for Kogure's off-ball movement, he would be fine.

Ran out of space for a few shots.

Otherwise, Shohoku's score would have fallen behind in all directions.

But Kogure's offense is still too simple.

Coupled with the huge physical exertion, his speed has become slower and slower.

In this way, Shohoku has no attack points except Akagi.

Chang Cheng can double-team Akagi unscrupulously.

The auditorium of Meitomo Industry.

The old man sighed.

"Akagi is definitely a top center forward. It would be great if you come to us as a famous friend and assist you when the time comes, then no one will be able to match you."

He already had a picture of Akagi and Hiroshi Morishi joining hands in his mind.

The twin tower tactics formed by the two can completely sweep the entire high school basketball world.

Know that Akagi is more than just having the ability to attack autonomously.

His basket protection ability and defensive area are also quite good.

Although it is not as large as the defensive area where the fish live, Akagi wins because of his flexible feet.

The importance of this to inside players is self-evident.

Akagi is an inside pillar that can be cultivated as a super core.

The old man turned his head to look at Mori Shigehiro indifferently.

They were originally a mid-level team at 18, and with the addition of Hiroshi Morishi, they have become the favorite team to win the championship day by day.

The influence of Hiroshi Mori can be seen.

If there is Akagi playing power forward, then the inside can basically be invincible.

"It's such a pity, Akagi will be preparing for university after this year is over."

The old man felt a little sorry.

His love for inside players like Akagi and Mori Shigehiro is absolutely different from that of ordinary coaches.

If it weren't for the fact that at least one defender who dribbles across the court must be placed on the court.

The old man would rather adjust the five people present to look like a big center like Hiroshi Morishi.

But even so.

The average height of Mingpeng industrial players has also reached 192 centimeters.

Except for the slightly lower height of the point guard, who is only 189, the rest of the players are all tall and big, looking like a wall.

This is also the reason why they were able to snatch the victory from the old strong team Aichi Academy.

Mori Shige smiled lightly.

"The strength is very strong, but my hands are a little itchy. I hope to compete with them in the national competition."

Even Morishi Hiroshi began to look forward to the matchup with Akagi.

Akagi's strength has been recognized by almost all players watching the game.

Whether as a teammate or as an opponent.

Akagi can play a big role.

more importantly.

Akagi is not as dependent on the ball as he imagined.

Although the way he scores is mainly post-ups and rolls after pick-and-rolls.

But Yuan's secondary offense is also pretty good.

His position at the basket is very good and he can get a lot of offensive rebounds.

This is also an important factor in the delay in the score.

The old man smiled.

"Shohoku is very strong, and I'm afraid it will be a formidable opponent by then.

This is what he really thinks.

Shohoku's strength can be said to be very good.

For this game alone, so far, Akagi has led the bench to the game.

Shohoku played pretty well.

On the offensive level, they have an immature triangle tactic.

Although it is only a prototype, at least people can see the effect.

This is already not easy.

How single and rigid the tactics of the high school team are.

The old man led the high school team for a long time.

No one knows better than him.

And Shohoku was able to develop a very effective offensive tactic during the period from the county competition to the national competition.

have to say.

The tactical literacy of Shohoku players is indeed very high.

"It's such a hard stubble! And the off-court official didn't play."

The old coach said softly.

Now he has Shohoku as one of the teams to watch.

And the other side of the auditorium.

Atsushi Tsuchiya watched Akagi at the free throw line with interest.

It would be great if we came to Dayong.

Although Darong's center is not weak.

But compared with Akagi, it is also slightly inferior.

And Atsushi Tsuchiya is the power forward who is best at cooperating with super centers.

Under his leadership, even a lackluster Daei center can become a well-known top insider in the country.

And if you can team up with Akagi.

The two of them can definitely get better results.

Maybe even a national champion.

"It's such a pity that the good players are in other teams."

Tsuchiya Jun sighed helplessly.

And in the rest area of ​​Shohoku.

Cheers to Ayako et al.

"Well done, Captain Akagi, very well played, so tough!"

"Two plus one! As expected of captain Akagi, come on Shohoku, chase the score back in one breath.

A plate of Tatsuhiko smiles.

In this lineup, Captain Akagi is the core.

As long as Kakuta and their pick-and-roll, Captain Akagi will score with little pressure.

Each of them underestimated the level of pick-and-roll captain Akagi.

But in fact, if there is an outside player assisting the situation.

Captain Akagi's pick-and-roll level is very good.

It is completely possible to rely on the pick-and-roll to score points.

Tatsuhiko hadn't noticed Captain Akagi's advantage at all before.

Also in an internal training.

While Tatsuhiko was explaining the perimeter pick-and-roll, he called out Captain Akagi for a demonstration.

At that time, he discovered that Captain Akagi's pick-and-roll level is indeed very high.

Not only is the quality of the pick-and-roll high, but because of the high ball quotient, the pick-and-roll roll or the shooting or passing options are very good.

Although Captain Akagi at this stage does not need pick-and-roll skills.

Already one of the top post players in the country.

But if he can improve his pick-and-roll level again.

Captain Akagi will not necessarily be able to rely on basketball for a living in the future.

field.

Akagi made a free throw, and Shohoku once again pulled the score closer.

Chang Cheng serves.

Hanshin gritted his teeth.

"Damn Akagi.

He was actually scored on the face by Akagi, was directly dunked, and also sent a foul.

Although only three points.

But the impact on Chang Cheng's momentum was too great.

He really couldn't hold on to his face.

Matsuoka smiled lightly at the end.

"It's okay, I'll give him back one later."

He took the basketball.

Start pushing slowly.

Facing Yasuda's defense

Matsuoka's last step directly passed.

Even the few people off the field couldn't help but marvel at the speed of the breakthrough.

Seeing this, Miyagi sighed without pistil.

"Although Yasuda is good at technology, he is still lacking in experience."

As Shohoku's starting point guard, Miyagi still has a say in this regard.

Matsuoka Sueshita's stature and technical characteristics.

It's been a whole first half, can't Yasuda see it?

Obviously a speed player with weak shooting.

Yasuda must leave enough reaction distance when defending.

But for the ball just now, Yasuda directly chose to defend closely.

This anti-shooting method is used to defend against breakthroughs.

Of course it's a bit unreliable.

It is natural to be stepped over.

"But Matsuoka Moshita's speed is really good, it should be about the same as Mitsui-senpai."

Miyagi secretly planned in his heart.

If he went up to defend, what would he do.

This is the benefit of watching the game off the field.

It is completely possible to observe the opponent's offensive characteristics and habits.

For example, I like to go left for breakthroughs, I like to go right for shooting, and I like to change directions under the crotch or in front of the body.

These are things that players off the court can easily notice.

"Although the breakthrough speed is really good, I didn't expect to be succeeded by the opponent so easily."

Tatsuhiko was a little dissatisfied.

He definitely did as much defensive work on Yasuda as he did on Sakuragi.

But I didn't expect that Yasuda's defense was still a bit too unspiritual.

Totally a defensive colander.

"That Chang Cheng point guard is a bit seasoned."

Miyagi on the side came out to smooth things over.

Yasuda really didn't defend the ball very well.

But he was also very clear about the complaint in Tatsuhiko's tone.

"After all, the starting point guard of the top eight teams in the country should be strong.

Miyagi continued, he excused Yasuda.

Yasuda will be too uncomfortable if he cannot play in the next games.

Miyagi thought secretly.

Tatsuhiko glanced at Miyagi who kept trying to excuse Yasuda with some surprise.

"Indeed, Yasuda has played very well this game."

"so………………"

Miyagi didn't finish his sentence, but his tone said it all.

"So in the next games, Yasuda will still have a chance to play."

Tatsuhiko promised with a smile.

He originally wanted to give these substitute players a little confidence.

Let them not have too much psychological pressure after playing, and play their truest level.

Conscience of heaven and earth, Tatsuhiko really didn't plan to let them not play in the next training match.

"Okay, okay, let's continue watching Biqi."

Tatsuhiko sighed helplessly, and looked back to the court again.

After Matsuoka passed Yasuda last.

Go straight to the basket.

Seeing this, Kakuta on the inside squinted his eyes and stepped forward to defend.

"I won't let you pass!"

Matsuoka made the last change of direction and passed Kakuta again.

Kakuta lowered his voice.

"Damn, I was cheated."

Didn't expect the opponent to kill so close.

There is still time to make a change of direction.

This was something Kakuta hadn't thought of at all.

It is precisely because of this kind of taken for granted.

The best defensive position Kakuta lost.

It was passed by the end of Matsuoka.

Then Shohoku's last line of defense fell on Akagi.

Akagi saw Matsuoka Sueshita whose speed was still unabated.

shout loudly.

"Boy, don't even think about scoring goals."

He spread his arms, moved his feet, and defended.

Suemo Matsuoka sees Akagi stepping forward.

The corners of the mouth rose slightly.

"I thought you were going to stay at the basket and not come out.

Facing Akagi's defense, he did not attack rashly.

Go around to the left of the free throw line.

He directly gave the basketball to Hanshin 140 and reminded loudly.

"good chance!"

Hanshin catches the ball.

"Successful!"

Jump in place.

Akagi's expression changed.

"Damn it, it's too late."

Move quickly, turn around and cover.

"Boom!"

In the moment of turning around.

Hanshin scored a dunk.

Chang Cheng students cheered.

Hanshin gave Akagi a defiant look.

"Give me back one."

Akagi was expressionless.

There was nothing he could do about it.

Although Kogure and the others have actively defended.

But the strength of the two sides is still too different.

To be pierced twice by the opponent, all in one step.

Moreover, the opponent's offensive intention is obviously the inside line, and Zhimu has been circling the inside line for so long.

Still no teammates came to help.

This is simply outrageous.

The inside assist defense and make-up defense are also quite inadequate.

This similar situation has been repeated no less than ten times throughout the first half.

Although they didn't hit all of them.

But there are too many inside two-on-one situations.

Even a good-tempered post player like Akagi is a little suffocated.

"These guys, what are they thinking!"

Akagi is a little fidgety.

For the first time, he felt that Tatsuhiko's appearance was such a simple and happy thing.

Tatsuhiko's super assist defense and complementary defense capabilities can fully assist him in defending the inside line.

And Tatsuhiko's range and scoring ability also ensure that opponents cannot double-team the inside line unscrupulously.

Akagi also gets a lot of floor space.

have to say.

The best helper for every inside player is the outside core.

The combination of inside and outside can not only improve the scoring ability, but also expand the shooting range.

It is very uncomfortable to be able to pull the opponent's defense line.

As time passed by every minute and every second.

In the end, Changcheng concentrated on attacking Shohoku's inside line.

In Changcheng's onslaught, Akagi has super personal ability.

But he was no match for four hands.

There is no way to defend Chang Cheng's multi-person attack in turn.

Almost from the point guard to the center, five people took turns to find Akagi singled out.

When he has a chance, he breaks directly to the inside, scores on Akagi's head, and passes the ball directly to other positions when he doesn't have a chance.

This rogue style of play annoyed Akagi.

Although Kogure and Kakuta are also working hard to defend the inside.

But their role is really a drop in the bucket, and the time to make up the defense is a bit too late.

It was only in the last two minutes of the first half that I realized that the inside line needs help in defense.

But it was too late.

Chang Cheng led by 19 points.

Although the set goal was not achieved, 19 points is still a very large score advantage.

Shohoku, on the other hand, held on to the 20-point baseline.

Ended the first half of the game. .
