"It's true! I thought the only one who could stop Vulcan was the 'Generation of Miracles'..."
"We completely misjudged Zhengbang's strength."
Aida Reiko glanced at Hinata Junpei and said with an unsightly expression: "After one year, we are not the only ones who have improved. The two newcomers introduced by Zhengbang this year are also extraordinary. Although I have already guessed it from watching the video before,
But I didn’t expect that I couldn’t even pass the first level.”
"Akashi-kun, let's not mention it for the moment. The newcomer wearing the No. 10 jersey, in terms of defensive level, gives people a sense of oppression that is not inferior to Kise Ryota."
"There is no doubt that compared to last year, this year's Zhengbang, who introduced two newcomers, Akashi and Tsugawa, has increased its defensive strength by at least two to three levels."
When Reiko Aida finished speaking, all the players from Seirin High School couldn't help but be stunned.
For a while.
Only then did I hear someone say in disbelief: "Wait, wait... Coach, you just said that Zhengbang's defense is stronger than last year, but if I remember correctly, last year's Zhengbang seemed to have "Tokyo"
Isn’t it called the First Iron Wall?”
"That's absolutely true."
"Are you kidding me? It's a stronger defense than Tokyo's First Iron Wall. How can we break through it?"
"Zhengbang uses an ancient martial art called 'Lingbo Running Method'. Most people run with their hands and feet crossed, but they run with the same hands and feet."
Reiko Aida said: "This running method greatly reduces redundant movements and reduces energy consumption, so the opponent can use this full-court man-to-man defense tactic, but...no matter how tight the defense is,
There will be flaws.”
"And the opponent is just like us, they are just a group of high school students, and they all shoot the same baskets. As long as they are fast enough to break the opponent's defensive limit, they can successfully break through."
"Now let's treat it as if we are playing a game. Since the Akashi-kun on the opposite side does not participate in man-to-man defense, then we will break through one level after another, and first deal with the others in Jinchuan and Zhengbang. Do you understand?"
"clear!!!"
······
The pause ends.
Players from both sides return to the field.
Zhengbang controls the ball and launches an attack. There are only four people on Zhengbang's side who attack. Akashi Asuka does not participate in the offense in this game. Unless something unexpected happens, he will sit under his own basket the whole time.
to be honest.
When Matsumoto Ikken mentioned this tactical arrangement, Akashi Asuka himself was shocked.
But then he discovered that this formation configuration seemed to be really effective against Jorin. Apart from anything else, as long as Akashi Asuka sat under the basket the whole time, Kuroko and Kagami could pass the ball all over the court.
, it completely loses its effect.
Zhengbang's offense is very solid.
Kasuga Ryuhei controlled the ball and reached outside the three-point line. Although he was capable of breaking through Itsuki Jun's defense, he had no intention of breaking through. Instead, he decisively passed the ball to power forward Giichi Omuro.
Compared with Kasuga Ryuhei, Omuro Yoshiichi's probability of breakthrough is obviously higher when facing Hinata Junpei.
Wait for the breakthrough to enter the inside line.
Jorin's inside center Mitobe stepped forward to help defend, and Omuro Giichi passed the ball to Tsutomu Iwamura without hesitation.
"Don't even think about it!"
Iwamura Tsutomu took off for a dunk. Without Kiyoshi Teppei's Jorin, there was a huge vacancy inside. Even if Mitobe was not slow in returning to defense, facing Tsutomu Iwamura, the nation's top center, his defense was almost as good as Mitobe's.
Existence is almost the same.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Kagami Taiga quickly chased back, roared, and hit Tsutomu Iwamura hard on the back of his hand with his big hand.
"Beep~~~"
A sharp whistle sounded throughout the court, and Tsutomu Iwamura, who was hit on the back of the hand by Kagami Daiga in mid-air, swayed a bit, but in the end he still steadily sent the basketball into the basket.
Whoosh!
"White No. 10, the thug fouled. Black No. 4's goal is valid, and one penalty goal is added."
When the penalty was handed down, the faces of everyone in Chenglin were covered with a haze at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye...
······
"Hey, hey~ No way! If I remember correctly, this seems to be the third accumulated foul for the little Kagami!" In the audience, Ryota Kise twitched the corner of his mouth and said.
"I feel like he's not in the right state today! Is he a little too high-spirited?"
"No······"
As soon as Ryota Kise finished speaking, he heard Yukio Kasamatsu saying seriously: "The goal just now was not caused by Vulcan's impulse. Because Vulcan was temporarily assisting in the defense of this goal, and the defensive angle was not the same.
OK, so this defensive foul is reasonable. If you really want to say it, it can only be regarded as a mistake at most."
The main purpose of Shiro Rin's call for a timeout was to let Kagami Daiga's mind cool down a bit.
In comparison.
Arranging tactics is secondary.
After all, the tactical strategy of most games has been set before the game. During the game, the coach usually only makes temporary adjustments based on the situation on the spot.
It can be said that the effect of the previous timeout has indeed been achieved. But with the occurrence of this accident, regardless of the reason, Kagami, who has accumulated three fouls, will inevitably have some impact on the psychology of other Chenglin players.
"But then again, Zhengbang's attack is really solid!"
Kasamatsu Yukio looked at Masakuni on the court again. At this time, the game had started again. The 2+1 free throw that Iwamura Tsutomu just scored did not hit.
After all, not every center has a soft touch like Asuka Akashi, and it is understandable that his shooting skills are a little poor.
But even so, the current point difference between the two sides has widened to:
17:0.
Kagami grabbed the rebound and barely maintained Shiro Rin's current morale. However, when they launched a counterattack, they found that their team was immediately in trouble again.
Kagami once again went one-on-one with Tsukawa.
Recalling Aida Reiko's previous instructions, Kagami Daiga originally wanted to dribble the ball with his hips, switch rhythm, and break through at full speed, but in the end this idea was stuck by him.
Because he has committed three crimes now.
The game has not even ended in the first quarter yet. If he is fouled again, Vulcan estimates that he will not be able to play again for at least half of the rest of the game.
Bang!
So after thinking about it, Kagami Taiga did not continue to act impulsively, but passed the ball to Kuroko Tetsuya.
However, after receiving the basketball, Heizi did not pass it out immediately, because under Zhengbang's man-to-man defense, he could not find any passing route at all...
