In the first half, under the leadership of Sendō and Naito, Lingnan won by nearly 20 points.

The advantage is not small, but coach Tian Gang is cautious. He would rather be overly cautious than have any accidents.

Therefore, at the beginning of the second half, Lingnan sent out its main force, hoping to further expand its advantage and defeat Hinode West in one fell swoop.

After all, Hinode Nishi is not the Shohoku team in the drama year. It does not have the fighting spirit and mentality to never give up. Under the wave after wave of offensives from Lingnan, it did not take long in the second half to show a collapse trend.

The defeat was like a mountain, as was the case when the sun set out in the west. The players' fighting spirit was shattered, and there was no hope of victory, and they even became arrogant on the field.

Not long after, coach Tian Gang waved his hand and began to send substitutes on.

In order to avoid accidents, he did not replace all the main players, but kept Naito, who had more energy, on the court.

In this game, Sendō seemed to score more points, but in terms of contribution, Naito was still the most important.

Without Naito's defense, rebounding, and powerful dunks, Lingnan would not have been able to defeat Hinode Nishi in such a short period of time.

Coach Taoka is quite satisfied with Naito's performance.

Although Naito has not completely improved his bad habits from rugby, he is much better than before and everything is moving in a good direction. He believes that after waiting for a while, Naito can be polished to perfection.

As for Xiandao, Coach Tianoka can see that he is a bit troubled in playing. He always has difficulty restraining his desire to attack. Now it is not an ordinary difficulty for him to organize the whole team's offense.

The current Immortal still plays the role of a terminator rather than a battlefield commander, similar to Rukawa Kaede before his transformation in the plot.

There were no accidents. By the end of the game, Lingnan defeated Hinodesai and successfully advanced to the joint finals.

In this game, Sendō scored 32 points and Naito scored 23 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocks. Their first performances were perfect.

Not long after, the next game started.

The two sides are Shohoku from the fourth group and the seed team Tsukutake. This is also one of the highlights of this round of competition.

As a veteran team, Tsukutake has a gorgeous style of play and is very popular with the audience, while Shohoku was the dark horse of Kanagawa Prefecture last year and has an excellent and popular player like Mitsui.

Akagi: What about me?

In the eyes of the audience, Mitsui is stronger than Akagi, and he is still responsible for the good looks of Shohoku. He was once known as the four super rising stars of Kanagawa together with Uozumi, Fujima and Makino. In last year's winter divisional match against Hainan Affiliated High School,

In the first battle, God blocked God and killed Buddha, and Buddha blocked Buddha, which established victory in one fell swoop and won him a large number of fans.

Compared with Mitsui's popularity, Akagi is better off.

Akagi doesn't have the elegant style of play like Mitsui, nor can he achieve the brutal play style and exaggerated statistics like Uozumi, so it's normal for him to be less popular than outside star players.

Even in an era when centers are king, outside players are still generally more popular. This can be seen from the top vote-getters of all NBA All-Star games, such as Michael Jordan, Dr. J, George Gervin, Magic

Teacher etc.

Tsukutake's strength has not been lost. Judging from the strength on paper, it is not much worse than Xiangbei. He even has a considerable advantage in cooperating with Tsukutake.

There's nothing we can do about it. Shohoku's starting lineup is all made up of first- and second-year players, while Tsukutake is dominated by third-year players. Tsukutake's coordination is naturally better than Shohoku's.

However, Tsukutake has serious flaws. They do not lack excellent players, but they only lack ace players who can carry the image.

Tomokazu Udai and Hiroshi Natsume are both excellent, but they can only be regarded as role players and it is difficult to lead Tsukutake further.

After the game started, both sides mainly focused on testing, and neither could do anything to the other for the time being.

Tsukutake's offensive rhythm is very fast, and the cooperation of the Shohoku team is relatively unfamiliar. They can often easily break up the defense and score through tacit cooperation.

As for the Shohoku team, Tsukutake was unable to limit the performance of Mitsui and Akagi and was given everything they wanted, especially Takenori Akagi. Tsukutake's shortcomings of not having a tall inside line were completely exposed.

Akagi played very well. With the cooperation of him and Iwata Miaki, Tsukutake was completely defeated inside.

As for Miyagi Ryota, his performance was not as good as Mugure because his opponent was Natsume Hiroshi who had a similar style.

Natsume Hiroshi and Miyagi are similar in height and weight, and have about the same speed.

The difference is that Natsume Hiroshi developed the COSCO shot and had more experience in the game, which actually overwhelmed Miyagi.

After the trial ended, coach Anxi focused on interior defense and rebounding.

Under Akagi's intimidation, Tsukutake players often can only shoot from a distance.

Tsukutake's players have a good touch, but the wily coach Anzai doesn't think they can maintain such a good touch forever. When their touch is no longer hot, that's when the Shohoku team takes the lead.

During this period, Tsukutake's coach Kawasaki Kazumi saw Coach Anzai's plan. He also tried to disrupt Shohoku's rhythm and wanted to take advantage of the chaos.

Unfortunately, Coach Anzai knew Coach Kazumi Kawasaki very well, and under his planning, all Kazumi Kawasaki’s plans ended in failure.

Tsujiutake's inside line is still too 'soft' after all!

In the final analysis, this is also related to the fact that Coach Kazumi Kawasaki is a student of Coach Anzai, so it is reasonable to be pushed to the top.

Soon after, Tsukutake's hand was no longer hot. Due to the disadvantage in rebounding, Shohoku firmly had the upper hand and began to continuously expand the point difference.

"Without high-quality insiders, it will be difficult for Tsujiutake to even enter the semi-finals of the county competition in the future."

Looking at the situation on the field, coach Kazumi Kawasaki sighed lightly.

It's just that high-quality insiders are hard to come by and have always been the most popular ones. "Fish that slipped through the net" like Akagi and Ming Gaoguang are undoubtedly among the very few.

Even Uozumi was recruited by many teams when he graduated from junior high school. Just because he had the highest height in Kanagawa Junior High School, unlike Akagi Junior High School who was only about 190 centimeters just after graduating, the treatment was naturally different.

The rest of the game can be described as uneventful. Tsukutake tried to counterattack, but due to the huge rebound disadvantage, he was unable to recover and was defeated by the Shohoku team.

With the end of this game, it also means that the top four teams in the Kanagawa Prefecture competition have been released. They are Lingnan, Shoyang, Hainan and Shohoku.

After advancing to the joint finals, the focus became who would be Lingnan's first opponent.

For the other three teams, they all want to be Lingnan's first opponent. After all, such a rare opportunity may be difficult to see again in the future.

The Lingnan team during Yuzhu's suspension was considered a hot potato in their eyes.
