Chapter 316: The Final Battle, the First Half Ends
"Good job, Sakuragi!" The Sakuragi Army beat the drums vigorously and cheered for their friends
Sakuragi made the free throw, 42:44
Shenjin organizes the attack
"Strange, No. 15 of Sanno has an advantage in height, and his position is also good, why did Fukatsu wait until the basket to give him the ball?" Aida Hikoichi was a little confused
"Hikoichi, are you very observant?" Tanaoka Shigeichi had already guessed the reason why Fukatsu didn't pass the ball.
"I've seen your weakness. There's no way you can get in." Sakuragi didn't give Kogata any chance to get under the basket.
"Could it be that Sakuragi has already seen that Mikio's only move is to turn around and shoot under the basket? His basketball IQ is really scary," Fukatsu thought as he dribbled the ball
The camera returns to the conversation between Muguro and Sakuragi on the bench
"Sakuragi, you have to pay attention to his characteristics. Akagi can't take care of him. It's up to you to defend against Kogata." After Fukuda was beaten by Kogata for the first time, Mugure reminded Sakuragi
"Haha, it takes a genius to come forward." Sakuragi laughed and then watched the game seriously. After Fukuda was beaten for the second time, "How about it, Sakuragi, what do you think?"
"Afu's strength is still not enough, and he is using his strength incorrectly."
"How to say it"
"Afu is standing a little high. He should bend down so that his center of gravity is lowered, so that he can hold up the fat guy. But even so, it is difficult for Afu to hold him up," Sakuragi said seriously.
"Very good, Sakuragi, you are absolutely right. It seems that after playing so many games, you have gained a lot of experience. Did you see anything else?" Mu Mu encouraged.
"I have a feeling, but I'm not sure yet. I'll wait and see."
After the third round between Fukuda and Koheda
"I noticed that every time he got to the basket, their captain passed the ball to him. Is it true that he couldn't score if he was far away from the basket?"
"You hit the nail on the head," Mugure nodded. "Sannoh wouldn't have thought that we have noticed Kogata's weakness. If you come on the court, you can curb his offense. And on the offensive end, Kogata's slow movements can't defend against you at all. You are the key to Xiangbei's offense."
"Oh, hehe, Murasakibara-san's analysis is very good. You two should get ready to play. The core of the offense is Sakuragi-san." Anzai also made corresponding arrangements
Back to the scene
"During the game, are you still distracted?" Just as Fukatsu was amazed at Sakuragi's quality, he heard a voice in his ear, and then he found a hand reaching out to him.
"Oh no!" Mugure took advantage of Fukatsu's distraction and reached out to steal the ball from Fukatsu's hand! Then he launched a fast break. Matsumoto on the side saw that the situation was not good. He blocked Mugure with a foul and stopped the fast break from happening.
"Matsumoto, I'm sorry, it's my fault." Fukatsu said.
"Okay, Fukatsu, just keep this ball." Matsumoto nodded.
"Sakuragi, take it." Mugure passed the ball to Sakuragi again. After Sakuragi got the ball, he faced the basket, dribbled with his left hand, forced a step forward, stuck in position, suddenly switched to his right hand, turned around, and forced a cut into the basket from the right. His movements were very smooth. Koheda did not react to this dribbling.
"He's so good at controlling the ball, and so fast?" Xiao Hetian was full of surprise.
Sakuragi turned around and took two steps forward, reaching the basket. He stomped his feet and jumped up. Koheda had been left behind and could only watch Sakuragi complete the move.
"Go, Slam Dunk!" The Sakuragi Army stopped beating the drums and couldn't help but shout out. Watching their friends go straight to the Sannoh basket
"Don't even think about it, red-haired boy," Ohkawada added.
"Boom!" Sakuragi completed a one-arm slam dunk over Ohkawada at near-basket height! 44- tie!
"This ball is to repay you for the dunk you made on me at the beginning of the game." Sakuragi glared at Ohkawada after landing.
"Hahaha, that's interesting." Ohkawada didn't get angry, but laughed instead.
"Fukatsu, give me the ball" Ohkawada asked for the ball, and after receiving the pass "Red-haired boy, come here" Ohkawada wanted to play one-on-one against Sakuragi!
"Go, Sakuragi. I'll take care of Ohkawada." Akagi patted Sakuragi, signaling him to defend Ohkawada. Sakuragi moved up to defend Ohkawada.
"Kawada actually asked that red-haired boy to defend him? It seems that Kawada has also taken it seriously." Zebei stood up from the bench
Kawada spread his legs apart, holding the ball between his legs, and lifted his left foot slightly with a subtle movement, tapping the ground lightly. At that moment, he swung his shoulders left and right and took a big step to the right.
"It's to his right hand side!" Sakuragi made an instant judgment and decisively blocked his left hand side.
But at this time, Kawata's right foot stepped hard on the ground, braking his entire body. The light left foot was just a cover, the real force point was on his right foot. At the same time, his right hand also collected the ball behind him, passed the ball to his left hand with a waist, and then broke through to the left. Sakuragi was directly shaken off by Kawata, who rushed to the basket and scored a dunk. 44:46
"Kawata, you lived well, you dunked well, red-haired boy, you're still far from it" the audience of Sanwang cheered
"This bald gorilla is really flexible." Sakuragi watched Kawata's back as he walked away.
Mu Mu dribbled the ball to the front court and stopped
"Do we have to give that red-haired kid one more?" Fukatsu judged and secretly prepared to steal the ball. "Not good!" The next second, Murasakibara chose to shoot directly. Fukatsu was caught off guard and had no time to block it.
"Swish!" The three-pointer went into the net 47:46
In this round, Kawata ran to the outside to receive the ball. Sakuragi didn't expect him to go to the outside to receive the ball, and he was still one step away from him.
"Sakuragi, Kawada has a three-pointer, don't let him shoot it!" Akagi shouted. Sakuragi hurriedly stepped forward to block it, but Kawada took advantage of Sakuragi's unstable footing and broke through Sakuragi's defense. He went straight to the basket. Akagi immediately made up for the defense. However, the next second, Akagi found that the ball in Kawada's hand disappeared.
"Good pass, brother" Kohetian received the ball and put it into the basket 47:48
"Well, good job," Kawada patted his brother's head.
"Akagi" Mugure directed his captain. Akagi went to the free throw line and tried to set a screen. "Another pick-and-roll?" Kawata didn't dare to be careless and followed him out. However, this time Mugure faked a pick-and-roll and actually passed the ball. He passed the ball to the left side of the basket with his back to the basket, where Sakuragi was already waiting.
"Not good!" Kawada knew that his brother couldn't defend against Sakuragi, so he turned around to defend.
Sakuragi hooked his wrist in the air, but it was not a hook shot, but a pass to the middle. Akagi, who had just set a screen, suddenly rushed back and caught the ball from the middle and went straight to the basket. Kawada was attracted by Sakuragi and didn't care to pay attention to Akagi.
Akagi made a jump shot, 49:48
Fukatsu didn't pass the ball to Kawata in the paint, but to Matsumoto in the outside! After Matsumoto received the ball, he faced Kiyota's defense, and with a simple change of direction and dribbling rhythm, he shook off Kiyota's defense and made a jump shot.
"Don't even think about coming in!" Sakuragi suddenly rushed over
"You're really fast, but you're still late," Matsumoto thought, but the next second, Matsumoto was surprised to find that the ball's flight trajectory had changed. "Did he touch the ball?" Sure enough, the ball bounced out of the basket! The rebound was caught by Ono, who took the ball and made a jump shot.
"Bang!" The ball was blocked by Qingtian on the side.
"Good block, Kiyota!" Kemei picked up the ball. After Kiyota completed the block, he immediately ran forward. Seeing this, Kemei immediately passed the ball
"Don't be impatient, Katsumi," Mugure reminded anxiously. He had noticed that Fukatsu was running towards Kiyota. Sure enough, Fukatsu intercepted the ball halfway. "Next, Ono," Fukatsu passed the ball again.
"Watch me!" Murasakibara rushed over. "Oops, I got fooled!" Fukatsu didn't choose to pass the ball. After a fake move to deceive Murasakibara, Fukatsu rushed to the inside, shot arrows on horseback, and scored two points 49:50
"This is the last attack, we play it safe and steady." At this time, there are 25 seconds left in the first half. Mugure dribbles the ball steadily, consuming the attack time. Fukatsu is concentrating on watching Mugure.
"Ten, nine, eight" the Sanwang audience began the countdown
At this time, Mu Mu held the ball at the top of the arc and made a gesture. Akagi set an off-ball screen for Katsumi at the waist position on the left side of the paint area, and Sakuragi took a position in advance on the left side of the free throw line. Kiyota opened up space in the right bottom corner.
After Katsumi slipped through Akagi's first screen and reached the baseline, he immediately ran back and passed between Akagi and Sakuragi. After Katsumi passed through, Akagi and Sakuragi immediately closed the door and firmly blocked the Sanno players' defense. A position was blocked for Katsumi, and Mugure immediately passed the ball. After Katsumi received the ball, he shot a three-pointer.
"Will it go in?" The audience was looking at the ball, "Swish!" The ball went into the net, 52:50, Xiangbei overtook the score again!
With less than two seconds left, Sannoh quickly served the ball, Fukatsu ran to midfield with the ball, jumped directly and shot, the ball hit the basket and bounced high!
At the same time, the referee blew the whistle and the half-time game ended!
