Chapter 276 Pre-match analysis: Ryonan vs. Sanno
"Although the Ryonan team entered the national competition as a play-off team, they were able to eliminate last year's quarterfinalist Changcheng High School in the group stage and the Hakata University of Commerce Affiliated School in the round of 16. It can be seen that their strength is extraordinary." After the game, although the Sanno players did not practice that night, they still gathered together after dinner to analyze the opponent. This is the undefeated king, Sanno Industrial. Never underestimate any opponent.
"This is a good team. If it weren't for the injuries, they could have directly advanced to the national competition." Sanno captain Fukatsu made his conclusion before watching the video of the prefectural preliminaries between Ryonan and Kainan.
"Fukatsu is right. From the video, we can see that the strength of the Ryonan team is obviously stronger than any opponent we have encountered before." Domoto nodded, indicating that he agreed with Fukatsu's opinion
"Okay. Let's analyze the players of Ryonan one by one. First, their captain, No. 4 Uozumi Jun, is 202cm tall. In the game against Tonlai Industrial, he scored 29 points, 14 rebounds, 4 blocks, and 4 assists. Kawata, what do you think?"
"Uozhu Jun is a good center." Sanno Industrial's center Masashi Kawata stared at the Ryonan captain in the video, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
"Jun Yuzumi is a traditional center. His main offensive activity area is under the basket, but his ability to assist from high positions is also quite good. Kawada, you should pay attention to this."
"It doesn't matter. His shooting ability is average. I personally suggest that Nobe can go to the wrong position to defend Yuzhu and use his height and arm span to interfere with Yuzhu. After all, my height is indeed a bit disadvantageous. Moreover, I can defend against the empty cuts of the Ryonan players under the basket." Kawata generously admitted his shortcomings and put forward his own suggestions.
"That's a good suggestion, Nobe. You will defend Yuzhu tomorrow. I believe your height and strength will limit Yuzhu. Kawada, you will defend the other players of Ryonan under the basket. I believe with your ability, they will return empty-handed." Domoto nodded and accepted Kawada's suggestion.
"Leave it to me, I will complete the task" Nobe nodded
"No. 13. Power forward Koichiro Minamigo, 192cm, has excellent running and jumping abilities, but he won't be able to do much under your defense. On the offensive end, Ryonan will definitely use Yuzhu to deal with you, but Yuzhu's defensive range is relatively narrow and his speed is average. I believe that with your skills, it won't be difficult to score in front of him."
"Leave it to me"
"No. 6, shooting guard Goshiro Tomokazu, is a three-point shooter who can hit 3.5 three-pointers per game. He is an outside weapon for Ryonan. However, apart from three-pointers, his independent offensive ability is average. Ichinokura, you will start tomorrow. Your task is to freeze Goshiro's three-pointers. You are the best match for this kind of pure shooter." Domoto looked at the team's defensive expert Ichinokura Satoshi.
"Leave it to me. He won't perform as well as before." Ichinokura nodded calmly.
"No. 8. Point guard Ryouta Miyagi is 168cm tall. In the match against Tora Industry, he scored 8 points, 7 assists and 4 steals. Fukatsu, what do you think of him?"
"Miyagi Ryouta, although he's not tall, he's incredibly fast, so he's a little hard to deal with." As the original book says, Fukatsu has a headache with fast and agile guards. However, his long-range shooting ability is average, so I can put him outside the three-point line. And I'm 12 centimeters taller than him, which is also something I can use."
"That's right, Fukatsu. You can use this to attack Miyagi."
"No. 7, Sendoh Akira, is their ace player. I believe you all know that Sendoh is actually my nephew. If Zebei hadn't come to Sannoh at that time, I would have recruited him to Sannoh. He is very strong. You should have a good understanding of his strength after watching the games of Ryonan. He is the biggest contributor to the elimination of Changcheng and Hakata Shang." Domoto said
"It's really strong. Tsuchiya Jun of Daiei is very strong, but in my opinion, Sendoh's strength is not inferior to him," said the captain of Sanno. Although Daiei Academy lost today, Tsuchiya scored 27 points and 7 assists, which made the Sanno players admire him. In their eyes, anyone who can score 25+ against their own team is a master.
"When I was in junior high school, I played against Sendoh on a baseball field. I can say that he was my only opponent in junior high school. And now Sendoh is much stronger than before. So, coach, please leave him to me. I want to limit Sendoh." Zebei volunteered to fight
"Zebei" Sanwang's players were all looking at the ace in the team in surprise. In the past, when they watched the game, the coach always arranged the opponent for him, and Zebei never took the initiative to ask to defend anyone.
"Okay, Zebei, I'll leave the Sendai to you." Seeing the ace of the team volunteering to fight, Domoto naturally wouldn't refuse
While Sanwang was analyzing Ryonan, Ryonan was also busy.
"Sanno is really strong." After watching the match between Sanno and Daiei, some of the Ryonan players were already sweating. Daiei is not a weak team, and Jun Tsuchiya in the team is a star who is as good as Sendoh. However, Sanno didn't play at full strength and won by 26 points against Daiei. I wonder what it would be like if Sanno played at full strength.
In the Sannoh team, point guard Kazunari Fukatsu, center Masashi Kawata and small forward Eiji Sawakita are still the three core players of the team. The three players who started in Sannoh last year have definitely grown to different degrees this year. Shooting guard Minoru Matsumoto and power forward Masahiro Nobe are also players who would be regarded as trump cards in other teams.
It can be said that all five starting players of Sannoh are ace-level players, including even the strongest C, SF and PG in all of Japan (high school).
Sanno's bench should not be underestimated, Kawata Mikio, Ichinokura Satoshi and Ono should not be underestimated either.
With a height of 210cm and a weight of 130kg, Kohetian is like a human tank. When he receives the ball in the paint, he can basically just push the ball forward and dunk, unless the opponent commits a foul in advance.
Although he is only 171cm tall, Ichinokura is a nationally renowned defensive expert. It is said that in the team competition, he was able to effectively restrict Zebei in a one-on-one match. In addition, Ichinokura Satoshi, nicknamed "the strong man", is also the champion of the local marathon and a physical monster.
Ono, the MVP of Akita Prefecture's junior high school, has a bright future
Sanno Industrial, which has almost no flaws, can definitely be called an invincible team in the national competition. Although the ball is round and the outcome is unknown without a contest, the strength shown by Sanno made the entire Ryonan team feel great pressure.
"What are you thinking? Are you all scared? Have you forgotten our slogan?" Tian Gang asked sternly.
"no!"
"At any time, never forget our slogan, be brave and courageous. We should not be afraid of any opponent and should play our own basketball. This is our spirit of Ryonan. Because of this spirit, we have come to this point today. I will ask you a question now, and you must answer me honestly. Before the national competition started, did you ever think that you would come to this point today?"
"No, I think it's great that we can make it to the quarterfinals," Sendoh responded first
"Well, not to mention you, even I myself never thought that we could make it to the semi-finals, so now, every step forward is a victory for us. The opponent is indeed very strong, but don't forget that we are not bad either. Go all out, regardless of victory or defeat. Don't leave any regrets for yourself."
"Yes, coach"
