"Sure enough, compared to the three-pointer, this monster's inside line is the biggest threat!"
Kaitō's coach Genta Takeuchi frowned and said.
So far, Akashi Asuka has shown strong strength in many fields including three-pointers, defense... and all of these are great threats to Kaijo.
But if for Takeuchi Genta, the factor that makes him most uneasy about Akashi Asuka is undoubtedly [rebounds].
From the summer competition to the present.
Whether it was Akashi Asuka's [Defense] or [Three-Point], opponents have found ways to break through them.
But only [rebounds], even in the battle with Rakuzan, facing a 'generation of miracles' and three 'untitled five generals', Akashi Asuka never lost a rebound that should belong to him.
rebound.
The only person who can compete with Akashi Asuka in this field is probably Atsushi Murasakihara of Yangquan.
But even when Atsushi Murasakihara grabbed a few rebounds from Asuka Akashi, he only managed to find a gap with the help of two players on the team, Kenichi Okamura and Liu Wei, who were over two meters tall.
The importance of rebounding in the game is unquestionable.
Except for the 'Age of Miracles'.
The shooting percentage of most ordinary players in the game basically hovers around 50% to 60%.
That is to say, at least half of the shots in a game will be missed. Whoever can rebound these missed shots will help the team to have at least half more offensive opportunities.
Just like Zhengbang now.
Akashi Asuka picked off the rebound and sent a long pass to Omuro Giichi, who immediately rushed towards the opposite court.
In the long pass at this distance, Haichan and others can no longer catch up with Omuro Giichi, but one person can catch up.
Looking at Kise Ryota who suddenly appeared in front of him, a few drops of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Omuro Giichi's forehead.
"You monsters have gone too far!"
Even though Omuro Giichi had been used to the existence of 'monsters' because of his long-term relationship with Akashi Asuka, when he was one-on-one with Kise Ryota, Omuro Giichi couldn't help but feel the urge to curse.
.
[Synchronized step-back shot]
Facing an opponent like Kise Ryota, Omuro Giichi naturally did not dare to be careless and decisively went all out when he made a move.
With the help of [Lingbo Running Technique], he used his unique footwork rhythm and retreated in an instant to create distance, but this meant nothing to Kise Ryota.
Snap!
The basketball that was thrown was directly slapped down.
But before Omuro Giichi could be shocked, he saw that the basketball that had just been blocked by Kise Ryota was suddenly picked up by another hand, and then he shot directly from outside the three-point line.
Whoosh!
Three point hit.
31:20.
"What?"
Kise Ryota's expression changed and he quickly looked up.
Then he was shocked to see Akashi Asuka appear behind the two of them at some point, and he happened to get a bargain.
Eyes facing each other.
Akashi Asuka smiled at Kise Ryota and said, "Are you too proud, Kise! Don't forget, although you have restricted me now, the reverse is also true!"
······
"It's strange. Akashi on Zhengbang's side has been restricted, so why is Kai Chang still at a disadvantage?"
Takao Kazunari gradually became a little confused as he watched the changes in the situation on the field.
On the surface.
Nowadays, the formation arrangement of Masahiro and Kaitsune has not changed much from the first quarter. Akashi Asuka still did not do much on the defensive end. The other Masahiro players are using the same man-to-man tactics as before.
But the result was completely different from the first quarter.
In the second quarter of the game, Hai Chang had the right to attack first. However, in two consecutive rounds of attacks, Hai Chang suffered huge setbacks. Not only did he fail to score a point, but Zheng Bang hit two consecutive counterattacks, once again widening the point difference to two points.
number.
"No, Zhengbang's formation has changed, but it has little to do with Akashi."
Midorima Shintaro shook his head and continued: "The [double point guard tactic] used by Kaidune is nothing more than avoiding a head-on conflict with Akashi, and then getting a breakthrough from the rest of Masahiro's team members."
"There is not much problem with this tactic itself, but there is a prerequisite for executing this tactic, that is, Hai Chang first needs to defeat four other Zhengbang players before he has a chance to score."
"Is there any problem with this? Didn't Haichang already score a lot of points in a row before?" Takao Kazunari said in surprise.
"no the same······"
Midorima Shintaro said: "Before, what Kaiji had broken could only be regarded as Zhengbang's defense line, but he did not defeat the players themselves."
"It turns out that Zhengbang's defensive formation was composed of Akashi Asuka as the core and the other four as auxiliaries. Therefore, after Haichang bypassed Akashi Asuka in the first quarter, holes naturally appeared in the defense behind Zhengbang."
"But now Zhengbang has returned to its original 'full-court man-to-man' tactics. Under this formation, although Zhengbang's defense lacks coordination and cannot connect as a group, its individual strength can be fully utilized."
"in other words."
"The previous Zhengbang was like Cheng Rin, but the current Zhengbang is more similar to Tonghuang."
"Although on the surface, Zhengbang's formation has not changed, in fact, the team's style of play has changed from team basketball to a personal style performance."
It has been a long time since Zhengbang used this pure [full-court man-to-man] tactic.
Because this kind of personal [full-court man-to-man] defense, although it looks very tight, is actually aimed at point-to-point defense.
Except for the players themselves, this kind of defense has flaws in the entire interior.
On the other hand, the [team-linked man-to-man defense] with Akashi Asuka as the core, although it lacks a little flexibility, but with Akashi Asuka's own full three-point area defense, Masahiro is able to include the entire three-point area within the defensive range.
.
And the most crucial point.
[Team-linked man-to-man defense] is much less labor-intensive than the traditional [full-court man-to-man defense].
Although Zhengbang's physical fitness is very strong, the national competition is a continuous battle, and he continuously uses [full-court man-to-man] defense. Even if Zhengbang can maintain his physical strength in the first few rounds of the game, when the game enters the second half, his physical fitness will inevitably deteriorate.
will become a big problem for Zhengbang.
So this time, if it weren't for the opponent Hai Chang, if it weren't for the game that had already reached the semi-finals, if it weren't for the fact that the physical fitness of Zhengbang players is currently pretty good...
It is estimated that Matsumoto Ikken may not use such a method to break the situation.
