Chapter 49 Despair in Buri
After Buri served, they used each other's cover and the Watanabe brothers began to stir up the Lingnan defense line.
Due to their similar appearance and small size difference, coupled with the cross-covering relationship, Okusumi had no time to identify the jersey number and did not recognize it immediately. Instead, he and Uozumi rushed towards Watanabe Masao.
As a result, Watanabe Masayasu got a vacancy.
When Danan Gujian noticed it, he couldn't help but be a little slow.
Nohara Koichiro immediately passed the ball to Watanabe Masayasu who cut into the basket and the latter dunked.
Bang~
Watanabe Masayasu smiled with relief, and the pressure in his heart was relieved.
Offense and defense transition!
Uozumi took the initiative to set up a pick-and-roll for Ozawa Yu, and Watanabe Masao had to choose to switch defense.
Ozawa Yusaku did not choose to break through and directly passed the ball to Uozumi who cut into the basket from the other side.
The moment Uozumi caught the ball, Watanabe Masayasu had to step forward to help defend.
At the same time, Watanabe Masayasu became more vigilant, fearing that Uozumi would repeat his old tricks and cause a foul.
Bang~
For the first time, Yuzhu chose to fight from behind.
Watanabe Masayasu felt as if his chest had collapsed. He let out a brief scream from his throat and retreated involuntarily.
Bang~
Before Watanabe could regain his energy, the second hit followed quickly.
"Ahem..."
Watanabe Masayasu was immediately knocked to the ground. His hesitation was knocked away, and he fell to the ground and coughed violently.
Compared with his brother Masao Watanabe, Masayasu Watanabe's confrontation ability is obviously inferior.
Just when Uozumi was about to rush to the basket, suddenly, Imamura Kazuo blocked him.
Bang~
Without hesitation, Uozumi grabbed the ball with both hands, ignored Kazuo Imamura, jumped up with the ball, and smashed the basket with one arm.
Kazuo Imamura also jumped up and slapped Uozumi's arm hard.
In mid-air, Imamura Kazuo's expression suddenly changed, and he felt a huge force coming from him, and was knocked away by the fish.
Bang~
Along with the violent sound of the basket exploding, the whole stadium was boiling again.
Toot~
"The white team's No. 13 thug fouled, two points will be counted, and the blue team's No. 6 will add one free throw!"
The referee made the penalty immediately.
Wow~
The audience cheered loudly and enjoyed the shot very much.
"This year's freshmen are a bit strong!"
In the stands, Takamiya Motoyu couldn't help but glance at Mu Shenyi next to him.
Uozumi, Maki Shinichi, Fujima Kenji, and yes, Shohoku's Mitsui Hisashi. This year, four freshmen have reached the level of top players. This has never happened before.
Of course, there is also a big gap between top players, such as Takenori Akagi and Ohda, Rukawa Kaede and Eiji Sawabita.
Mu Shenyi shook his head: "If we can't restrict the fish residence, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Wuli to win this game."
However, at this moment, Coach Buri was standing on the sidelines, not knowing what he said to the Watanabe brothers.
The Watanabe brothers once again used their tacit cooperation to tear apart the defense. This time, it was Watanabe Masayasu who succeeded in a layup.
Uozumi shook his head. Apart from the fact that the Watanabe brothers looked too similar, it was also related to the fact that Watanabe Masayasu was faster.
The Lingnan team had the ball, and soon Yuzhu received the basketball.
But just as he was preparing to attack, Watanabe Masayasu immediately abandoned Okusu's old home and teamed up with Watanabe Masao to double-team Uozumi.
Bang ~ bang ~
Uozumi quickly held the ball with both hands and immediately launched a strong confrontation, causing a gap in the double team.
Without hesitation, Uozumi immediately passed the ball to Da Kusuma.
Unfortunately, Okusumi's offensive range was limited. When he wanted to attack the basket, Watanabe Masayasu had already appeared behind him, and he hit a nail-biting block.
Compared with Watanabe Masayasu, Okusan Guma is undoubtedly a lot worse.
Uozumi tried to grab the rebound, but was blocked by Masao Watanabe, and the rebound was grabbed by Masayasu Watanabe.
Buri launched a fast break, and Imamura Kazuo had already started it in advance. He was very fast and rushed to the frontcourt as quickly as possible.
Sasaki Oribe tried his best, but still could not close the distance with Kazuo Imamura, and finally watched Kazuo Imamura succeed in a layup.
Toot~
At this time, coach Tian Gang called a timeout.
Soon, the game started again.
In the Lingnan team's offense, the moment Yuzumi caught the ball, he was about to be double-teamed by the Watanabe brothers again. He immediately passed the ball to Da Kusuji.
The difference from last time was that when Watanabe Masayasu wanted to double-team Yuzhi, Da Kumu immediately cut into the basket.
Watanabe Masayasu quickly returned to defense, but in the end it was still a step too late.
Not only that, because he exerted too much force, he involuntarily bumped into Da Nan Gujian.
Not far away, Masao Watanabe saw this scene and couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead with a look of despair.
Clang~beep~
Da Kusu dunked with both hands and successfully scored two points. At the same time, Watanabe Masayasu got his fourth foul.
This is the arrangement made by coach Taoka. Even though the offensive range of Da Kusuji is small, as long as he is close to the basket and does not give Masayasu Watanabe enough time to defend, he can always score the ball.
What's surprising is that Watanabe Masayasu fouled again, which can definitely be said to be an unexpected surprise.
The wrinkles on Coach Tagoka's face were almost brought to laughter. Not long after the second half started, Watanabe Masayasu committed four fouls.
If nothing else goes wrong, in order to avoid leaving the field with five fouls, Watanabe Masayasu will definitely be timid and unable to exert his full strength.
"are you an idiot?"
Looking at his younger brother with his head lowered and blaming himself, Masao Watanabe was helpless and at the same time felt like he hated iron.
The lesson learned last year is that this guy still hasn't corrected his irritable personality. It's a good time. The team may be in trouble.
"Brother, I'm sorry!"
Watanabe Masayasu looked frustrated and apologized in a low voice.
Watanabe Masao sighed, he patted Watanabe Masayasu's shoulder and said: "Masayasu, don't be mentally burdened, just play hard. The game is not over yet, and it is not certain who will lose or win."
Even if the situation is very unfavorable, this is Masao Watanabe's last year, and he is unwilling to give up no matter what.
Watanabe Masayasu was inspired and nodded vigorously.
It's a pity that Watanabe Masayasu, who committed the fourth offense, was inevitably restrained and his strength was not fully utilized.
In this case, coach Buri had to replace Watanabe Masayasu again.
Just like this, the Lingnan team once again had the upper hand, clearly suppressing Buri on the scene. The score between the two sides began to widen, and soon reached double digits.
The self-confidence of Buri players began to be frustrated, even Masao Watanabe was affected, let alone others.
Masao Watanabe knows very well that he cannot continue like this. He must arouse the hope of his teammates, otherwise he may be doomed.
"Everyone, please don't be discouraged. There are still more than ten minutes left before the end of the game. We still have many opportunities. We still don't know who will win or lose. First of all, let's score this goal first!"
Encouraged by Masao Watanabe, the Buri players seemed to have been given a shot in the arm, and their originally sluggish morale was significantly restored.
Of course, this is only temporary.
Chapter completed!
