Chapter 197 Breaking the Press
Chapter 197 Breaking the full-court press
The lineup sent by coach Taoka is like this, a strange lineup like Uozumi, Masao Watanabe, Masayasu Watanabe, Shinichi Maki and Kenji Fujima.
Three inside players who are over 190 centimeters tall + two point guards, referred to as three long men + two point guards.
This lineup is indeed weird, but weirdness also has weird benefits.
The reason why Coach Taoka did not choose players like Akagi and Hanagata who are both over 190cm tall, but the Watanabe brothers, is not only because they are more stable, but also because they are twins.
The Watanabe brothers have a tacit understanding and a tacit understanding that is far beyond ordinary. This is a combination of 1+1>2.
Although Watanabe Masayasu is not as strong as Aso Taro, he still has the advantage of height, as well as the speed and flexibility of a small forward, enough to temporarily serve as a small forward.
With the three big players, let’s not talk about defense, but rebounding can definitely be guaranteed.
As for the dual point guard combination of Makoto Shinichi and Fujima Kenji, it is mainly to prevent the opponent's full-court press tactics.
Similarly, the three elders are also preparing for this.
They have a broad field of vision, and they all have certain coordination and organizational capabilities. Masao Watanabe has a mid-range shot, and Masayasu Watanabe even has an open three-pointer, but they rarely use it.
At this time, Uozumi and Sakurai Kentaro stood in the middle circle, preparing to jump the ball again.
I have to say here that coach Domoto has rearranged the starting lineup.
The next moment, the referee threw the basketball high, and the two men jumped up to compete for the ball again.
Just like the jump ball in the first half, Uozumi shot the basketball to Fujima with a relatively small advantage.
"mine!"
Fujima picked up the basketball and rushed through the center circle in the blink of an eye.
Fukatsu Kazunari hurriedly blocked it, and Fujima immediately passed the ball to Makinichi.
He and Mu Shenyi have a competitive relationship, but they are not hostile.
Well, after all, Fujima has not had the painful experience of being suppressed by Mu Shenyi for three consecutive years.
With a simple change of direction, Mu Shen wanted to break through Kawada Masashi.
However, Kawada Masashi's confrontation was very strong and he withstood Mu Shenyi's impact for a while.
At this time, the Watanabe brothers covered each other.
Due to similar looks, Kashima Maple and Minoru Matsumoto can only rely on their jersey numbers to tell who is who.
It's just that their jersey numbers look similar, one is No. 6 and the other is No. 9.
During this process, Kashima Maple Shuang was okay, but Matsumoto Minoru hesitated.
In such a short time, Watanabe Masayasu ran out of space and appeared in his most comfortable position outside the three-point line.
Without hesitation, Maki quickly transferred the ball to Watanabe Masayasu.
Before Minoru Matsumoto came up, Watanabe Masayasu stretched his body and shot a three-pointer.
Huh~
The basketball went hollow into the net and scored three points for Kanagawa.
Minoru Matsumoto put his hands on his hips and looked very helpless. He never expected that such a tall man could shoot three-pointers, which caught him off guard.
In this attack, except for the jump ball, Yuzhu played the whole game.
Offense and defense transition!
After dribbling the ball past half court, Fukatsu immediately passed the ball to Kashima Maplesho.
Masao Watanabe had no choice but to go up and block it, but Kashima Mapleshuang easily broke through it like a wooden stake. He rushed into the paint and wanted to dunk.
At this moment, Yuzhu, who was sitting in the penalty area, raised his hands high, ready to block the shot at any time.
In mid-air, Kashima Maple Shuang remained calm. He quickly took back the basketball, bent down and handed the ball to his other hand. Then he thrust his waist hard and stuck it in the air, hoping to do a backhand slam dunk to boost his morale.
Pa~
Uozumi's right hand slapped Kashima Kaedeshuo's arm hard. His force was so strong that it was like swatting a fly. Kashima Kaedeshuo almost lost his balance. This attack was forcibly broken by Uozumi.
Toot~
The referee pointed at Yuzhu, indicating that Yuzhu's thug had committed a foul.
Kashima Fengshuang staggered to the ground, took several steps back, and finally gained a firm footing.
"If you want to dunk in front of me, stop dreaming!"
Uozumi glanced at Kashima MapleShuang. He would rather use a foul to destroy the ball than become a backdrop.
At the same time, this will also help to build up his momentum and improve his inside dominance.
Swish~swish~
Even though her arm hurt a little, Kashima MapleShuang still made two free throws steadily.
What is different from the past is that after this attack, the Akita players not only did not return to their own half, but instead followed their opponents closely, without sparing any physical strength.
On the other side, Kentaro Sakurai stood in front of Uozumi who was about to serve, trying his best to interfere with Uozumi's serve.
He has figured out that since he is destined to be unable to beat Yuzhu, he should work hard to do his job well. As long as he wins the championship, he will prove himself in a sense.
Facing Sanno's full-court press, Uozumi quickly passed the ball to Fujima.
The moment Fujima received the basketball, in addition to his opponent Fukatsu, the closest players Kawada Masashi and Kashima Kaedeshuo all dropped their opponents and quickly rushed towards Fujima.
In an instant, the double-team was formed.
Although Fujima was mentally prepared, he was still unprepared when faced with the full-court press.
It's one thing to watch it on video, but it's another thing to actually face it.
At this moment, the three of them kept waving their arms, blocking the passing route, and at the same time reaching out to steal.
Being double-teamed by three players, including Maple Shuang Kashima, the top high school student in the country, Fujima felt unprecedented pressure.
At this moment, Teng Zhen fell into panic and felt arms everywhere in front of him.
Pa~
Suddenly, Kashima Maple Shuang took the opportunity to complete the steal.
Kawada Masashi grabbed the basketball and immediately hit the basket with the ball. He really wanted to dunk in actual combat.
Unfortunately, Yuzhu arrived first and hit him with another nailboard, knocking him to the ground again.
Kentaro Sakurai rushed over and tried his best to fight for the rebound with Uozumi, but in the end Uozumi had to shoot the ball away.
Watanabe Masao grabbed the basketball and Kashima MapleShuang wanted to take the ball. The former quickly raised the ball over his head. He has the advantages of height and wingspan, and it was difficult for Kashima MapleShuang to steal the ball alone.
Without waiting for two nearby Akita players to double-team, Masao Watanabe quickly passed the ball to Masayasu Watanabe.
If you want to break the full-court press, the main thing is to be steady.
At the same time, calmness is also important.
Don't dribble unless absolutely necessary, don't look down at the ball, be sure to observe the situation on the court and pass the ball safely and quickly.
In addition to coordination, the player's strength and characteristics are also important.
Kanagawa quickly started a pass-and-cut coordination. The height advantages of the three tall players were obvious, especially for Minoru Matsumoto. Masayasu Watanabe was more than ten centimeters taller than him. This was a big advantage.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone in Kanagawa distanced themselves from each other.
Watanabe Masayasu passed the ball to Maki Shinichi. After the latter quickly dribbled the ball twice, he successfully dribbled the ball across the half court and immediately passed the ball to Uozumi who was running down.
Kentaro Sakurai has gone all out, and his confrontation is not much inferior to Uozumi, but it is difficult for him to keep up with Uozumi's pace.
Masashi Kawada kept up, but faced with Uozumi who was already charging up, he finally gave up and got out of the way in embarrassment.
Bang~
Uozumi succeeded with a heavy dunk, and under the pressure of the whole court, Kanagawa scored smoothly.
Chapter completed!
