This is an exaggeration that is not an exaggeration.
In a game, each team's shooting percentage is about 50-60%.
The hit rate of the "Generation of Miracles" is slightly higher. Although it is not stated in the original work, Asuka Akashi calculated through game recordings that the average hit rate of members of the "Generation of Miracles" in the game is almost 80%.
Except for Midorima Shintaro's three-pointer.
This is an extremely terrifying shooting percentage. A shooting percentage of 80% means that in a high-speed game, for every five shots taken, at least four will be hit.
But even the ‘Generation of Miracles’ cannot guarantee 100% scoring.
Once combined with other members of the team, even for a powerful team with the "Generation of Miracles", the average shooting percentage per game is hovering around 60~70%.
The rest are all rebounds.
If you can grab all these rebounds, even if you face the team of the 'Generation of Miracles', you can get almost one-third more offensive opportunities out of thin air.
As long as half of these one-third offensive opportunities can be grasped, the team can score at least 10 to 15 more points.
One can imagine.
What role does rebounding play in the game?
What's more, there is still a big gap between today's Cheng Lin and the real 'Generation of Miracles'...
"The gap between Cheng Lin and Zhengbang's inside lines is too big."
Kasamatsu Yukio in the stands shook his head and said: "If you can grab rebounds, you will get more offensive opportunities. And your own offensive opportunities mean that the opponent's offensive opportunities are reduced. Masakuni's Akashi sitting under his own basket means that the city
Rin has already lost half of his offensive opportunities before each round of attack even started."
"And even under Cheng Rin's basket, the odds of Cheng Rin and Zheng Bang competing for rebounds are only 50-50. This is only possible if Kagami participates in the competition for rebounds."
Jorin's current center Mitobe is a typical blue-collar player according to the positioning of the NBA professional league. His strength cannot be said to be weak, but compared with the country's top centers like Tsutomu Iwamura, the gap is immediately apparent.
Unless Vulcan specializes in the basket, he may be able to take advantage of Tsutomu Iwamura with his physique and jumping ability, but the problem is that he is a power forward and cannot always stay at the basket.
Every time before grabbing a rebound, while he was still facing off against Tsukawa, Tsutomu Iwamura got into position first and lost his timing first.
In addition, Tsutomu Iwamura mainly competes for offensive rebounds. This kind of rebounding has an advantage for the offensive side, because it is his own shot. Even if the ball is hit, the direction, timing and angle of the rebound are obviously more familiar to his own family.
The right time, right place, and right people.
Among the three, Masakuni has two advantages, so even if it is 1V2 under the basket on the offensive end, Iwamura Tsutomu is not weak at all.
And under the defensive basket where Zhengbang is...
clang!
As the game gradually entered the end of the second quarter, Hinata Junpei's "critical moments" also gradually disappeared, and the three-point shot also began to lose its accuracy, so he hit the iron calmly.
"rebound!"
When the basketball hits the basket, players from both sides converge toward the basket at the same time.
On Jorin's side, Mitobe and Kagami squeezed hard toward the bottom of the basket while constantly moving their feet, trying to seize a good position, but then they discovered that the best position had already been occupied by Akashi Asuka.
So Kagami and Mitobe both started to squeeze hard on Akashi Asuka, trying to push Akashi Asuka away from that position, but no matter how they found out, Akashi Asuka under the basket was like a big mountain and did not move at all.
"Damn it!"
Seeing that he could no longer grab the position, Vulcan could only forcefully take off from the second level position, trying to use his jumping power to grab the rebound from height.
Akashi Asuka is indeed unable to compare with Kagami in terms of jumping, but his height is enough to make up for this disadvantage.
Better location.
Higher catching point.
Stronger power.
The combination of the three made Akashi Asuka easily pick off the rebound.
The moment Akashi Asuka landed, the kinetic energy carried by his huge body directly bounced Kagami and Mitobe away from him at the same time. Then with a big hand swing, Masahiro launched another counterattack.
Whoosh!
Similar to this kind of counterattack, everyone in Zhengbang has already become very familiar with the cooperation, and easily won the goal.
35:20.
at the same time.
A dull electronic whistle sounded over the court, signaling the end of the second quarter and the two sides entering a ten-minute intermission.
Everything was just as Kasamatsu Yukio expected.
In the second quarter, Jorin relied on the performance of Kuroko and Hinata Junpei to successfully catch a defensive flaw in Zhengbang's outside.
Kuroko's passing and blocking blocked Zhengbang's close marking of Cheng Rin's players.
And Hinata Junpei's "key three-point shot" did capture Akashi Asuka's defensive range that has not yet extended beyond the three-point line.
With Akashi Asuka's current physiological development and improvement in various physical qualities, his defensive area has expanded to nearly 90% of the area within the three-point line.
But after all, there is still a long way to go before full-court defense in the three-point area.
In fact, he can also move his position and spread the defense towards Hinata Junpei's position, but in this way, flaws will be exposed in other areas. Once exposed, he may become disorganized and the gain will not be worth the loss.
It's better to stabilize your defensive rhythm.
In this way, although there will be flaws on the outside, these flaws will only become smaller and smaller as Zhengbang gradually adapts to the opponent's offensive rhythm.
The entire second quarter.
It seemed that Cheng Lin had caught up by many points, but in fact the point difference between the two sides was only narrowed by two points compared to the 17:0 at the end of the first quarter.
Moreover, most of Jorin's points were scored in the first half of the second quarter. In the second half of the game, Zhenggong didn't even need to do it himself. Hinata Junpei's three-pointers and the shooting rate slowly dropped on their own.
.
And this kind of rhythm will only get worse and worse for Cheng Lin after the second half...
······
"Ah~~I'm so tired!"
Just after returning to the court, Hinata Junpei took a drink of water and flopped down on the bench, his whole body paralyzed.
Complained: "Really, why do we have to play against such a monster! For the entire two quarters, the offensive end couldn't even grab a single rebound. It feels like a dream."
Aida Reiko didn't care about Hinata Junpei's complaints, because she also knew what Hinata Junpei looked like when he turned on the switch.
not to mention.
Now her attention is not on Hinata Junpei at all, but on the other side of the court, Akashi Asuka in the Zhengbang rest area...
