Chapter 77 Tactics in Northern Hunan

Is this still Xiangbei? Has coach Anxi finally started to guide the team seriously? Coach Tian Gang was dumbfounded watching the situation on the court. This Xiangbei team and the team that Lingnan met last year were completely two different teams.

Not only because the team has added three powerful players, Mitsui Hisashi, Miyagi Ryota, and Rukawa Kaede, but more importantly, Shohoku has gradually moved away from fighting alone, and the tactical system has already taken shape.

Rukawa Kaede opened up Sendo, Miyagi broke through and passed the ball to Akagi, and formed a one-on-one under the basket. Shifting again, Mugure scored in the mid-range shot, and all five players in Shonhoku played a role in an attack. This is much more terrifying than Rukawa Kaede and Akagi's singles.

Throughout the entire manga, Coach Anxi’s ability can be said to be the top among the coaches who appeared on the stage. However, because Coach Anxi has been trapped in guilt for Gu Ze for a long time, he did not seriously direct Xiangbei until Xiangbei entered It was only in the joint final that they were moved by the children in Xiangbei and gradually became serious.

But now, from the very beginning, Shen Long has made up for the shortcomings of Xiangbei players based on Ma Bo's guidance and Coach Anxi's own memory, and formulated suitable tactical strategies for them, allowing them to use tactics to open up space and obtain relative ease. Of course, it was difficult for Lingnan to deal with the opportunity to make a phone call.

The players in Lingnan are strong, but the lack of Fukuda makes them lose an offensive point with the ball. Cross-country, Zhicao, and Chishang are all players who are more defensive than offensive. They and Yuzhu inside form a relatively complete defensive formation. In terms of defense alone, they can be said to be top-notch in Kanagawa County, and they will never lose to Hainan.

However, their attack was not strong enough, they could only rely on Xiandao and Uozumi, and Uozumi was restrained by Akagi, and Xiandao was double-teamed by Rukawa Kaede and Mitsui Kotobuki. After fighting for more than ten minutes, Xiandao was out of breath up.

"Sakuragi, later you will play instead of Akagi to guard the basket. Remember, if you master the rebound, you can control the whole court. When you get the rebound, immediately pass it to Miyagi or Mitsui, and let them launch an attack." Shen Long prepared to send Sakuragi The ikebana is on the stage.

This time the substitution not only replaced Akagi, but also Rukawa Kaede, and let Yasuda play instead of him. Lingnan's defensive system pays more attention to the basket, and there is still space on the outside. It will take a little more effort, but this is a practice match, winning or losing is not important, the most important thing is to train the team.

"An Tian, ​​don't hesitate when you encounter an opportunity, act decisively, and believe in your ability." Shen Long patted An Tian on the shoulder and encouraged him. If he wants to win the national championship, it is not enough to rely on five starters.

"yes!"

"Don't worry, Dad, this genius will definitely defeat the Great Ape King!" Yingmu Huadao said that the habit of giving people nicknames still hasn't changed.

"Coach." Sakuragi and Yasuda appeared on the stage, but Akagi and Rukawa Kaede who were replaced were a little puzzled. In their basketball career, they had never been replaced except for injuries or lack of physical strength.

"Akagi, let Uozuki test Yingmu Huadao's learning achievements during this period!" Shen Long told them to sit down, "Rukawa Feng, pay attention to how Xiandao plays, and how his role on the court is different from yours , Which of these two modes is more helpful to the team."

Xiandao can be said to be Rukawa Kaede's best teacher. It was Xiandao's performance in the final game of the joint final that made Rukawa Kaede realize the importance of passing the ball, and awakened after failing to single-handedly with Zebei Eiji.

"In future games, I will often mobilize players, and you have to prepare in advance." Throughout the entire cartoon, almost all teams play with five main players from beginning to end, which is very different from a real basketball game .

Shen Long thought about it. There may be two reasons. One is that there are not so many outstanding players in the high school competition, and only five main players can fight; the other is that Inoue is lazy. Less effort.

"There is a game almost every day in the national competition, which is a severe test for the physical strength of the players, so there must be substitutes to help you share the pressure and reduce physical exertion. From now on, we will prepare for the national competition." According to Shen Long's plan, before the joint finals, except for Sakuragi Hanamichi, the rest of the players will not play the whole game.

Sakuragi Hanamichi came on the stage. After experiencing a short period of tension, his ability fully exploded. Although he made little contribution on the offensive end, although it was difficult for him to stop Yuzhu's offense, he completed the task of grabbing rebounds very well. The vast majority of rebounds fell into his hands.

In the original animation, Hanamichi Sakuragi joined the basketball team on April 17th, and started practicing rebounding the day before the game against Lingnan on May 1st. At the end of May, he grabbed 22 rebounds in the prefectural competition qualifier against Tsukutake and tied the prefectural competition. For the record, what an awesome talent this is. Now that Sakuragi practices rebounding earlier, it is not surprising that he can grab rebounds from Yuzuo.

"The rebound is mine!" Sakuragi roared and leaped high, snatched the ball that Uegusa missed, and quickly passed it to Miyagi after standing firm. Blocking the pass from behind to Mitsui's hands, Mitsui hit a three-pointer.

This is another tactic in Shonhoku - a fast-break three-point tactic. Even if they stop Mitsui, Mitsui can still let Mugure or Yasuda get a shot by transferring the ball.

However, due to the lack of inside pillars and Sakuragi Hanamichi making no contribution on the offensive end, Lingnan still overtook the score at the end of the first half.

Shen Long was not in a hurry. In the second half, he changed players again, letting Kogure and Miyagi rest, and replacing them with Akagi and Rukawa Kaede. With two more offensive players, Xiangbei's scoring efficiency greatly increased.

On the defensive end, Mitsui Hisashi and Rukawa Kaede received Shen Long's instructions to focus on Xiandao's passing and shooting, and let him break through to the inside for Akagi and Sakuragi to deal with. Without Fukuda's firepower, Xiandao could only carry it alone. Lingnan's attack, hitting the inside line again and again, consumed a lot of energy, and the hit rate gradually declined.

In the second half of the game, Hanamichi Sakuragi received five fouls on Sendo and Uozumi and was sent off. Emperor Kakuda went into battle, and Mugure appeared again to replace Mitsui. Now the score is relatively wide, and Yasuda controls the ball to slow down the attack At the end of the game time, Lingnan still lost by four points.

"Thank you for your advice." The players from both sides bowed to express their thanks.

"We lost this time, let's compete again in the county competition!" Tian Gangmoichi was surprised by the strength shown by Xiangbei, and Fukuda must be summoned to return to the team early.

"We won, we actually won last year's top four Lingnan!" Mu Mu, Yasuda and other veteran players burst into tears with excitement.
