Zhengbang's formation remained unchanged in the second half.
Because there is no need to change, when dealing with players like Cheng Rin, staying the same in response to changes is the best option.
"You are so stubborn! Now I seem to understand why Akashi-kun values you so much."
The game gradually entered the second half of the third quarter. In this stalemate battle, even Zhengbang, who has always been known for his strong physical fitness, gradually began to show symptoms of physical exhaustion.
However, Cheng Rin on the opposite side was panting heavily and his jersey was almost soaked with sweat, but he was still able to keep up with Zhengbang's rhythm with his tenacious willpower.
Omuro Giichi dribbled the ball and said to Hinata Junpei: "But is this really good? Don't forget that there are two round-robin matches tomorrow? You have exhausted all your energy now, and it really takes one night. Is it enough to recover?”
Hinata Junpei said: "Don't be verbose, if I can't defeat you, then why talk about tomorrow?"
Omuro Yiichi helplessly shook his head and said: "It's time for you to recognize the reality! I have to admit that compared to last year, Shiro Rin's strength this year has at least improved several levels, but we are the same!"
"What's more, your methods have been exhausted now, what other trump cards do you have?"
"All cards exhausted?"
Hearing this, Hinata Junpei suddenly laughed, lowered his head, and smiled with a strange expression.
Omuro Yi looked a little confused.
And in the next second, the opponent suddenly raised his head and said: "Don't underestimate Cheng Lin, our game is about to start now!"
"It's not enough to brag about victory or defeat. In the end, it all depends on strength!"
Omuro Giichi said no more and began to speed up the dribbling. Then, taking advantage of Hinata Junpei's blink of an eye, he suddenly started to accelerate and broke through to the right side of the opponent.
Because of the switching of markings, Hinata Junpei's defensive ability was unable to stop the breakthrough of Zhenggong's power forward.
But this time.
The outcome suddenly changed. Just as Omuro Giichi accelerated his breakthrough, he saw Hinata Junpei chasing after him as if he had no idea.
"What?"
Omuro Yiichi was startled, turned around decisively, and accelerated towards the left.
However, just when he came to the left, he saw Hinata Junpei on the side chasing after him again...
"How is this possible?"
"He can't break through Omiya?"
Several other Zhengbang players on the field were also shocked when they saw this scene.
If it were someone else to guard Giichi Omuro, no one would be so surprised. After all, although Giichi Omuro's power forward position is not bad, it is not among the best in the country.
Zhengbang is known for its defense.
The core pillars of the third-year team are Tsutomu Iwamura and Ryuhei Kasuga. When participating in national competitions in the past, there were many players who could defend Omuro Giichi's breakthrough.
But now Omuro Giichi’s opponent is Hinata Junpei!
It's not that Hinata Junpei is not good, but that Hinata Junpei is a shooting guard in the team, and he is also the kind of shooting guard who focuses on shooting and three-pointers.
With his defensive level, why shouldn't he be able to defend Omuro Giichi?
"What's going on with this guy?"
The sudden accident caused Omuro Giichi to panic for a moment. Omuro Giichi tried to break through several times. Every time, the guy on the opposite side seemed to have predicted his movements in advance and kept up with the rhythm accurately. .
"Damn..."
Omuro Yiichi cursed, and seeing 24 seconds approaching, he could only pass the ball to Tsutomu Iwamura inside.
But the moment he took action, Hinata Junpei seemed to have predicted the move, and actually waved his hand to block the pass.
"You guys, you are finally distracted!"
Hinata Junpei grabbed the basketball and immediately threw it hard.
"Counterattack!"
Everyone in Cheng Lin accelerated their attack towards Zhengbang's basket. Zhengbang's players hurriedly caught up, but after all, they were a step slow in the starting stage. By the time they caught up with the opponent, Cheng Lin had already broken through and rushed into the penalty area.
Ituki Jun dribbled to the basket. Facing Kasuga Ryuhei who caught up in time from behind, he directly dribbled the ball with his hips and accelerated the breakthrough, and he easily passed Kasuga Ryuhei's defense.
"How is that possible?"
From the corner of his eyes, he caught sight of Yi Yuejun who had broken through behind him, and Kasuga Ryuhei, whose body seemed to be paralyzed in place, with an incredible expression written all over his face.
Then faced the second level of defense - Asuka Akashi.
Izuki Jun stared at Akashi Asuka's feet from the corner of his eye and tried to dribble the ball several times, but found that it had no effect, so he passed the ball to the ground with all his strength.
Only a 'pop' sound was heard.
The basketball passed out suddenly turned a corner and suddenly extended the pass from the baseline on one side to the baseline on the other side.
The standard basketball court size is 28 meters long and 15 meters wide.
And just this pass flew at least eleven or twelve meters, almost crossing the entire court.
Hinata Junpei on the other side of the baseline received the ball and shot directly to the basket, but this time even Akashi Asuka couldn't catch up...
Whoosh!
The basketball crashed into the hoop.
Cheng Lin successfully scored two points, and the score between the two sides reached 46:36.
The point difference narrowed to 10 points again.
······
"Success!"
"Finally broke through Akashi's defense!"
"There is only 10 points left, and there is still one and a half quarters left in the game. There is hope!"
There was a roar from the spectators in the surrounding stands, but the most excited ones were undoubtedly Shiro Rin's substitute players and Aida Reiko off the field. Different from the previous pursuit of points, this time they really saw the hope of victory.
In the audience, Kasamatsu Yukio held his chin, looking at Shiro Rin who was gaining momentum on the field, and said in surprise: "Oh~~ you are very smart! Shiro Rin."
"Why do you say that? Senior."
"Did you see Cheng Lin's attack position just now?"
Kise Ryota thought for a while and said: "The direction Cheng Lin chose to attack this time is indeed very strange. They seem to be stuck on the bottom line to launch the attack..."
"That's right. The three-point line on the basketball court is a semicircle with a radius of 6.75 meters. Under normal circumstances, as long as Akashi Asuka sits under the basket, no matter which direction Jorin attacks from, he basically cannot escape Akashi's defensive range."
"But this time Jorin deliberately used the bottom line, which can also be said to be the diameter of the three-point line. He first lured him to one side, and then used Kuroko's pass to attack from the other side, suddenly closing Akashi's defensive distance.
It’s doubled in size.”
"Even with Akashi's height and speed, it's impossible to cover this distance, but..."
At this point, Kasamatsu Yukio paused, then changed the topic and said: "This is just a little cleverness, not surprising. What really surprised me was the defense and sudden attack of Shirorin and the two just now. That was not
