Chapter 237: End of the 2nd round of group matches
"Dongying requests a timeout" The score difference widened. Dongying coach had no choice but to call a timeout.
"Tosakura is not weak, but they were 30 points behind. Shohoku is really strong," a voice came from the stands.
"Yes, Fukatsu, and Shohoku hasn't played at full strength yet. Katayama is actually quite strong, but he was locked down by Murasakibara. You have to be careful of Murasakibara," said another tall boy. The two people in the stands were Sanno Industrial's captain Fukatsu and the team's center Masashi Kawata. Although Sanno's game today was held simultaneously with Shohoku, Sanno's strength was more than enough to deal with the group stage. What's more, there were Zebei and Matsumoto in the team. In the Kanagawa joint finals, Shohoku defeated Kainan to win the championship. Being able to defeat Kainan, who had won the Kanagawa championship for 16 consecutive years, Shohoku's strength should not be underestimated. So Fukatsu and Kawata asked the coach for leave to watch Shohoku's game.
"I'll keep an eye on this Muguro..."
"Fukatsu even made a mistake in his spoken language. It seems that Murasakibara has put some pressure on him," Kawata said to himself
After the timeout, Tousakura, which has been able to appear in national competitions for many years and achieve certain results, still has certain strength. Even if Katayama is dumb, he knows that he can't force it. So he let other players attack this time, and finally he used the screen to get the ball. Just when Mu Mu was close to prepare for defense, he passed the ball to Nishimura who also came over to receive the ball. After Nishimura got the ball, he took advantage of the gap that the Xiangbei players had not yet filled in and shot a three-pointer, and it hit! 55:28
In the next round, Kiyota's breakthrough layup bounced out of the basket due to interference from the center of Tosakura. Although Horita grabbed the rebound, Katayama suddenly rushed back. Just when Horita was preparing for the second attack, he reached out and stole the ball from Horita. After stealing the ball, Katayama passed it to Nishimura. Nishimura dribbled the ball straight to the three-point line of Xiangbei. Kiyota had already returned to defense. Nishimura suddenly passed the ball to the side, and Katayama had already rushed to get the ball. He took a direct three-point shot with just the right rhythm and made a three-pointer. 55:31, Tosakura chased another 3 points.
Xiangbei served the ball from the baseline and the ball went to Fukuda. As soon as Fukuda got the ball, Katayama and No. 6 suddenly pressed Fukuda. Seeing this, Fukuda immediately passed the ball to Kiyota, but No. 9 suddenly appeared from the side and reached out to steal the ball.
"Good shot, another 2 points!" Coach Dongying shouted from the sidelines. After the No. 9 shooting guard stole the ball, he did not rush to shoot. Instead, he used a fake move to light up Qingtian and dribbled forward. There was no one in front of him. No. 9 shot steadily.
"Bang!" Mumu suddenly rushed from the side and blocked the ball for player No. 9, but the ball was caught by another player from Touying and immediately passed to Katayama under the basket.
"Come on!" In front of Katayama was Sakuragi Hanamichi.
"This kid has good jumping ability, so he can't shoot right away." Facing Sakuragi's height, Katayama decided to fake a shot. He made a fake move, and Sakuragi was fooled and jumped up.
"Hmph, you're still a freshman, you're still lacking a lot of experience." Katayama waited for Sakuragi to fall and then took a step back and shot. "This ball is in!" A smile bloomed on Katayama's face.
With a "pop", it was a clean and neat block.
Sakuragi had just landed when he suddenly bounced up and blocked the shot from his opponent.
"What kind of shooting speed is this! And with such a wingspan, he can block me even from such a distance!" Katayama was shocked.
Although the ball was still in the possession of Tosakura, the team's morale was dampened by the continuous blocks. At the same time, there were only 3 seconds left in the attack time. Finally, the Tosakura players' hasty shot was naturally rejected by the basket, and Horida grabbed the rebound.
"It's okay, don't mind, we'll keep the ball." Dongying's coach is quite dedicated. He encouraged the players off the court.
"Guard this ball? You think too much." Mumu held the ball, facing Katayama's defense, he still chose to break through. Because this is the best choice, if there is a chance, he will shoot. If he doesn't have a chance, one of the other four will definitely get an open position. What's more, there is Sakuragi, the rebounding king, under the basket.
Muguro breaks through, Katayama goes to defend without hesitation, but Muguro carries Katayama's body and rushes to the basket, jumping high to prepare for a layup
At this time, the center of the East Sakura rushed over from the basket and saw Mu Mu jump up. He must not give Mu Mu a chance to layup. The same thing happened to Katayama. Both of them jumped up to block the shot. They knew very well that if this ball went in, the morale that the East Sakura had accumulated with great difficulty would dissipate.
Unfortunately, when they jumped up, they found that they seemed to have been fooled. Mu Mu was a moment faster than them, which was enough time for him to shoot, but although he held the basketball, he did not shoot it. This was a trap. Three people and six arms fighting in the air, it was the easiest to cause a foul.
But Katayama and the center forward were helpless. They jumped too hard. Although they tried their best to retract their arms, they were still a step too late. Mu Mu instantly took the initiative to put his arms on the hands of the two people.
"Beep!" The referee's whistle sounded immediately.
"Damn it." Katayama and the center knew something was wrong when they heard the whistle. But the worst was yet to come. After being fouled, Murasakibara still didn't give up and successfully threw the basketball. The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and went into the net, Murasakibara scored 2+1.
Mu Mu would not miss the free throw opportunity and made the extra free throw 58:31
Higashi Sakura served the ball, and as soon as Katayama got the ball, he found that Mu Mu and Kiyota were pressing him, and he had no chance to break through. "I can't pass the ball horizontally, I have to pass the ball high, so that I have a chance to break Xiangbei's press." Katayama thought to himself, and immediately passed the ball high to his center forward
"Snap!" Sakuragi jumped high and intercepted the ball
"Such a high ball can be intercepted" the center of Dongying looked surprised
"Give it to me" Fukuda had already cut to the empty field, Sakuragi passed the ball in time, Fukuda got the ball and dunked it, causing another foul by the East Sakura players, and Fukuda also made the free throw. 61:31, this goal completely brought the morale of the East Sakura team to the bottom, and they could no longer play a decent offense in the next game. In the end, Xiangbei won the opponent 92:56.
After the game, Xiangbei learned that in another venue, Green Wind defeated the opponent 87:51. Rukawa scored 30 points in 34 minutes, while Mike only played half the game and scored 14 points. Another scoring point, center Ming Gao, also only played half the game and scored 12 points and 8 rebounds.
Next, the other two strong players of Kanagawa also took the court. Hainan sent all substitutes except Naito and Oda to play, but still won by 79 points 54:25. Naito played for 28 minutes and scored 20 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks. Oda also scored 30 points and 18 rebounds in 7 minutes.
最后出场的陵南队也以84:48战胜对手，鱼柱上场25分钟拿下25分13篮板的高效数据，宫城上场30分钟拿下10分10次助攻的小两双，仙道也只打了半场球，10分4助攻，继续被田冈雪藏实力来对付常城高中
By the way, even without Kawata and Fukatsu, Sanno still defeated its opponent 91:30. The strength of the king Sanno Industrial is well-deserved.
So far, the second round of the game has ended. The Kanagawa team continues to perform strongly, but the most crucial final round is coming. The two new teams, Ryonan and Midori, will challenge the old strong teams Changcheng and Luoan respectively. Will Ryonan and Midori continue their efficient performance in the first two rounds and advance to the knockout stage or be eliminated in the group stage? Everything will be decided in the final round.
