Chapter 236 National Tournament Round 2: Xiangbei vs. Dongying (Part )
"Good job, Yohei, that's how you attack." Mitsui patted Mito Yohei's shoulder to encourage him.
"Hey!" After the goal, Mito Yohei, who was greatly confident, took advantage of the fact that Tosakura was not paying attention when sending the ball out of bounds, and suddenly rushed over and reached out to hit the ball. Unfortunately, the force was a little too strong, and the ball went out of bounds again.
"Very good. That's the attitude." Akagi also praised the younger generation who actively fought for the ball.
"Everyone, don't worry. The game has just started, we still have plenty of time." Finding that the morale of his teammates was not right, Katayama quickly encouraged his teammates and took the initiative to signal for the ball, "Let's score a goal first." After receiving the ball, Katayama began to dribble to the scene. Facing Mito Yohei who was waiting for him, "Mito Yohei, right? You have great potential, but you are not good enough to defend me." As soon as the voice fell, Katayama rushed forward, accelerated, and broke through to Mito Yohei's right side like lightning!
"Don't underestimate me." A gust of wind blew past, and Mito Yohei once again stood in front of Katayama.
"Good boy, really good!" Katayama secretly praised, changed direction in an instant, accelerated again, and suddenly passed through Mito Yohei's left side!
"So fast!" Mito Yohei was amazed and immediately chased at full speed. However, after Katayama rushed into the penalty area, facing the rushing Katsumi, Katayama took a step back and then shot decisively, "Swish!" The basket was penetrated, 9:4
Although "Senior Mitsui" was scored by Katayama, Yohei did not choose to attack back by himself, but passed the ball to Mitsui on the outside line, "Come on, Mitsui" Nishimura Shusaku and Higashinaka No. 9 switched defense
"You? You're not strong enough," Mitsui replied coldly. Suddenly, Mitsui started quickly, his figure swept past Nishimura like a gust of wind and rushed straight to Dongying's inside line!
"So fast!" Nishimura was furious and tried his best to catch up with the opponent. Unfortunately, he was one step slower and lost the initiative. Nishimura's defense was already passive and was dribbled past by Mitsui. Mitsui broke into the inside line and faced the double attack of No. 9 and No. 6. He made a light throw and the ball hit the backboard and went into the basket. 11 to 4, Xiangbei scored the first double-digit points.
In the next round, Katayama dribbled the ball to the inside again, and Mito Yohei moved ahead of time, firmly controlling the opponent within his defensive range. When he came to the free throw line, Katayama suddenly stopped and dribbled the ball twice in a row, then jumped high and shot the ball.
With a "swish" sound, the ball hit the center of the hoop, 11:6
"Damn it, I still can't prevent it." Yohei wiped the sweat off his face.
"Don't mind, Yohei, you defended well, he can't score like this all the time." Mitsui saw the clue
"Huh, this brat..." Mitsui was right. Katayama was also secretly calming his breathing. He felt that Mito Yohei's defensive pressure on him was increasing.
Xiangbei is attacking, Mitsui wants to pass the ball to attack. Dongying has already experienced the power of Mitsui in the last round. Nishimura can't defend Mitsui alone, and No. 9 goes to help defend, "Huh, since you come to double-team me, then Katsumi will be unguarded?" Mitsui smiled coldly and passed the ball to Katsumi in the corner. Katsumi shot a three-pointer and made it! 14:6
This time, Yohei's full defense left Katayama with no chance to break through. Katayama knew that even if he could break through Yohei, it would consume a lot of energy, as the real guard of Xiangbei had not yet appeared. Katayama called for a screen and used the screen of his teammates to break into the inside. A fake move passed Nakajima and made a layup
"Do you think I don't exist?" Katayama's dribbling was indeed beautiful, and his layup was also very smooth, but he ignored the fact that Shohoku had Kanagawa's top center under the basket. Akagi jumped high to block Katayama's layup.
The "rebound" was covered by Akagi's tall body. In order to avoid Akagi's block, Katayama adjusted the arc of his shot, and the ball hit the basket and bounced high.
"Yohei" Akagi turned around and grabbed the rebound. He passed the ball to Yohei who was running fast, and Yohei made a layup. 16:6, Xiangbei expanded the lead to 10 points.
In the next round, Katayama did not choose to attack by himself. This time it was Nishimura Shusaku who stepped up and shot a three-pointer from the outside using a screen, making it 16:9.
Xiangbei attacked, and this time Akagi, who had been silent, suddenly asked for the ball. As soon as Akagi got the ball, Dongying immediately double-teamed him. Akagi raised the ball high and made a jump shot.
"Don't underestimate us, Akagi!" The two inside players of East Sakura jumped up, but the next second, Akagi turned his wrist and the ball fell into the hands of Nakajima who was in an open position. Nakajima made a half-court shot and scored! 18;9
In the first half, Xiangbei had always maintained a firm advantage on the field. Before they knew it, the first half was over and Xiangbei led by 48 points at 25:23.
In the first half of the game, although Akagi only scored mediocre data of 6 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks, his role is not what the data can show. With Akagi, East Sakura can hardly complete the attack under the basket. Although Akagi rarely scored on the offensive end, he sent out 4 assists. Of course, Mitsui performed the best in the first half of Xiangbei. He made 6 of 4 three-pointers. Not only was the three-pointer full of firepower, Mitsui's breakthrough was also quite lethal, earning 6 free throws and hitting all of them. In the first half of the game, Mitsui scored 22 points
"Yohira, you played very well, watch me in the second half." In the second half, Mugure was ready to play. Although Mito Yohei only scored 6 points in the first half, his opponent Katayama scored 13 points, but Katayama's 13 points were based on 16 shots. Against Katayama, Mito Yohei accumulated valuable experience.
At the beginning of the second half, Xiangbei made a major lineup adjustment, with center No. 8 Horita Tokuo, power forward No. 10 Sakuragi Hanamichi, small forward Fukuda Yoshitaka, shooting guard Kiyota Nobunaga, point guard Kogure Kiminobu
"Akagi and Mitsui finally went down." Seeing the drastic change in Xiangbei's lineup, the players of Dongying felt that they still had a chance, but soon reality slapped them in the face.
Sakuragi won the jump ball easily. Muguro got the ball and threw it to the front court. Fukuda had already run to the basket. Higashi Sakura was caught off guard and Fukuda easily made a layup. 50:25
Katayama pushed through half court, "Come on, Katayama" Mugure was ready
"Kumuro, the MVP of Kanagawa, let me see how capable you are." Katayama accelerated and didn't care when he saw that he couldn't get rid of Kiyota. Then he dribbled the ball behind his back, switched from left hand to right hand, and changed the direction of breakthrough, but Kiyota still followed him like a shadow. "The defense is so tight." Seeing that he couldn't get rid of Kiyota easily, he began to get a little anxious, running left and right, trying his best to get rid of the defense. But how could Kiyota give him an easy chance to get rid of him? Katayama was like a goldfish struggling in a fish tank, and couldn't get out no matter how he swam. "It's too late!" Seeing that there were only 5 seconds left for the attack, Katayama, who had not been able to get rid of him for a long time, had to make up his mind and forced a jump shot. Kiyota jumped vertically to intercept, and the ball was rubbed and changed its trajectory, hitting the front frame. Sakuragi received the rebound. "Wild monkey, catch the ball" Sakuragi grabbed the rebound and found that Kiyota had already started. Immediately prepare for a long pass.
However, this time, Higashi Sakura reacted quickly. The power forward jumped high to intercept Sakuragi's long pass. When Sakuragi passed the ball again, Higashi Sakura's players had already returned to the backcourt. Seeing that the fast break opportunity had been lost, Sakuragi passed the ball to Mugure. At this time, Kiyota leaned against the defender on the left side of the free throw line to ask for the ball. After getting the ball, he lowered his center of gravity, turned around and passed. The opponent just caught up, and Kiyota had already jumped up to dunk.
"Oh my God, how can he be so fast and jump so high!" The defender was desperate at this moment.
The ball scored, 52:25.
Katayama dribbled the ball to the front court. He sped up the dribbling speed for a while, then slowed it down, as if to confuse the opponent. When the opponent stopped, he suddenly started again and broke through from the sideline. However, Mu Mu appeared in front of him again, forcing him to brake immediately. However, due to the sudden stop, Katayama made a mistake and dribbled the ball to his feet, which bounced out of bounds.
"What a great pressure defense!" Katayama was secretly shocked
Shohoku served the ball from the sideline and the ball reached Murasakibara, "Come on, Murasakibara," Katayama was ready.
"Come on, Katayama." Mumu took the ball and rushed to the right. Katayama hurriedly moved forward to block, but this was just a fake shot. He dribbled the ball from behind and passed it to his left hand before rushing again. Katayama had just exerted too much force, and this time he was pulled away by Mumu Ping and rushed directly into the inside line of Tosakura.
"Don't even think about it!" The center of the East Sakura defense roared and stepped forward to interfere. Mumu had already accelerated at full speed. If he stood still, he might be able to make a run-in, but once he moved, as long as his body came into contact with Mumu, he would be blocked. Therefore, Mumu was unmoved and went straight to the inside without slowing down. After his right shoulder collided with his left arm, he threw the ball into the basket with his left hand.
"Snap! Swish!" The ball hits the backboard and goes into the basket!
"The score counts, let's take one free throw!" Murasakibara made the free throw, and the score difference came to 30 points!
