Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 259 Kanagawa Twin Stars!
When everyone in Akita Prefecture realized that Mitsui Shou was their biggest obstacle now, coach Domoto off the field immediately began to conceive of ways to limit Mitsui Shou.

The Akita County team was formed based on the Sanno Industry players, and what Sanno is best at is actually the tight defense of the whole court. They create steal opportunities by pinching point guards to widen the point difference between the two teams.

If their Sanwang was facing a certain college at this time, then Domoto Goro would definitely not hesitate to let the players implement such a defensive strategy.

This is used to interrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm, because the depth of their Sanno Industry's bench is definitely at the top level in the country, and no college can compete with their Sanno's bench depth.

Unfortunately, what they are facing at this time is not a simple high school opponent, but the Kanagawa county representative team that gathers all the elites of Kanagawa.

Domoto Goro knew very well that if his main players used up too much energy before the aces of the opponent's Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tianye came on the field, the game would be lost early. suspense.

Therefore, when facing a disadvantaged situation, Domoto Goro would never think about using the full-court press.

He needs to make some adjustments in formation.

On the court, when the offense and defense were in rotation, Kazunari Fukatsu received a pass from his teammates in the backcourt and began to advance with the ball. Eiji Zebei and the other players trotted across the center line, while originally sitting on the seat Domoto Goro also stood up silently, walked to the sidelines, folded his hands on his chest, and watched the game on the field.

"Oh? Can you finally sit still?"

"It's no wonder that before Shinomiya Tano and Jinguji Budo came on the field, our team was able to beat Akita. Let alone Domoto, even I, the coach of Kanagawa, was a little surprised."

"What are you going to do, Tang Ben!"

While watching the game on the field, Coach Tianoka has also been paying attention to Domoto Goro's movements. Seeing Domoto Goro walk to the sideline at this time, Coach Tianoka knows that the opponent should be planning to make some moves.

In basketball games, sideline coaches are not only able to exert influence on the players on the court during timeouts and intermissions.

The basketball court is not as big as the football field. Often the coach shouts from the sidelines, and the players on the court can hear that the timeout is so precious, and it will never be used lightly.

On the court, Fukatsu Kazunari, who entered the frontcourt, was stopped by Mu Shenyi outside the three-point line, but his support came quite quickly, and there was no need for Fukatsu to shout, and Kawada Masashi on the inside had already mentioned it quickly High position, do a high position pick-and-roll for Shen Jin Kazun.

With the help of Kawada Masashi's pick-and-roll, Fukatsu quickly accelerated the breakthrough. At this time, Mushen was blocked by Kawada, and his speed was hindered. Akagi Takenori, who followed Kawada to a high position, was also attracted by Fukatsu's breakthrough and moved to block Fukatsu. the way to go.

Misplacement is small and big.

Facing Akagi Takenori's defense, Fukatsu Kazunari played very calmly. An emergency stop and worship made Akagi a wooden stake. When he accelerated his charge again, Akagi couldn't keep up with the opponent's speed at all.

Fukatsu Kasunari, who entered the inside line, felt as if he had entered no one's land. Huagata didn't dare to let go of Masahiro Hiroshi to defend, but raised his hand symbolically to interfere. Yes, it is useless to deal with a seasoned master like Shenjin.

With a light layup by Shenjin, the score of the two teams also came to 15:13, and the point difference was reduced to two points.

Akita County is indeed facing tremendous pressure on the defensive end, but they still play with ease on the offensive end.Akagi Takenori was repeatedly pulled to a high position by Kawada Masashi, and then faced with Fukatsu Kazunari's one-on-one military training.

Akagi's speed is not bad in the center sequence, but it is obviously not enough to face Kazushi Fukatsu, who is also the top speed among defenders.In front of Fukatsu Kazunari, Akagi Takenori turned into a clumsy burly man with nothing but airs.

"Well, the offensive in Akita County is very stable!"

"Masashi Kawada's high pick-and-roll completely exposed Akagi's weakness."

"The offense seems to be smooth now, but the stability of the three-pointer is not as good as the layup after all. If Mitsui's state declines, the score will soon be overtaken by Akita County."

Coach Tian Gang looked at this round of offense and defense, touched his chin and thought to himself.Of course he can see the weaknesses of his own team, but at this stage, he has no way to change this situation.

Use zone defense?The players in my team are all elites, but there is really no tacit understanding between them. If they use the zone defense rashly, I am afraid that if they can't defend themselves, they will be completely defeated by the opponent on the defensive end.

Still using man-to-man?People in Akita County played a big game and misplaced it. Akagi was really trained by the military on the court, and he stood at attention when he was called.

Of course, for Coach Tian Gang, there is a very simple way to change this situation. The answer is sitting beside him.

"There is still a small advantage in points, and there is plenty of time. Let's see."

Just when coach Tian Gang thought so, Domoto Goro on the sidelines shouted at the crowd while the players were returning to defense:
"Zebei, Matsumoto, you two switch defenses!"

"Stop letting that guy shoot [-]-pointers, you've dropped a lot of points already!"

"The master hasn't played yet, and you guys are playing like this with the miscellaneous fish, can you still win the game?!"

An elegant coach like Domoto Goro has already uttered curse words like "bad fish". It can be seen that he is quite dissatisfied with the results of Akita County at this stage.

When he saw Coach Tian Gang dispatching this group of people to play the starting lineup, he naively thought that the players would take this opportunity to quickly draw the score between the two teams, but he didn't expect that the main player didn't even play, and they actually played with their opponents. After being entangled for so long, if the fight continues like this, the physical energy of the players will only be consumed. When the main player comes on the field, will they still have the ability to resist?
Although Domoto shouted loudly, the enthusiasm of the audience still made his words unclear. Akagi Takenori and others at the other end of the court did not hear Domoto's words, but Mitsui Shou, who entered the frontcourt early, did. really.

"Miscellaneous fish?!!!"

"Damn it. I'll show you how awesome I am, Mitsui Shou!"

How could the young and energetic Mitsui Shou let others scold him like that?Hearing this, anger welled up suddenly, and his expression sank.

And Domoto Goro on the sidelines, after saying these words, glanced at Mitsui Hisashi in a subtle way, with a faint smile on his face, and then returned to his seat, watching the game on the field intently.

For team players, technology is very important, but just as important as technology is mentality!
How could an elegant coach like Domoto Goro taunt his opponent for no reason?The Mountain King led by him will go all out even if he faces Xiao Xiami!Not to underestimate any opponent is the concept that Domoto Goro has always instilled in the players.

In addition to making defensive adjustments, what he said was more for Mitsui Shou.

"Pass the ball! Amu, pass the ball!"

Sure enough, Domoto Goro's words had some influence on Mitsui Shou. After Mu Shen took the ball into the frontcourt, Mitsui Shou hurriedly asked for the ball from Mu Shenyi, completely ignoring the opponent in front of him. Became Zebei Eiji.

In other words, it wasn't that Mitsui Shou didn't pay enough attention to Zebei Eiji, but in his heart, he didn't realize that Zebei had the ability to stop him.

Mu Shenyi didn't know what happened in the frontcourt just now, when Mitsui asked for the ball, Mu Shenyi didn't hesitate at all, opened a little distance from Fukatsu, and quickly gave the ball to Mitsui Hisao.

At this time, Mitsui Shou has scored three three-pointers in a row. It is the time when the touch is hot. Even a layman guard knows to pass the ball to such a teammate at this time.

Started with the basketball, Mitsui Hisashi turned to face the frame, but at this moment, a dark shadow flashed in front of Mitsui Hisashi.Taking advantage of Mitsui's ability to catch the ball, Zebei Eiji took the initiative to rush forward, pressed the basketball with one hand accurately, and slapped the ball from Mitsui's hands.

In the next second, Zebei Eiji quickly passed through Mitsui Shou, picked up the basketball, and ran towards the front court at high speed.

"what?!"

"Such a bastard!"

Mitsui Shou was robbed, and his face showed surprise. He quickly turned around and chased. His speed was not slow, and he was running without the ball. He could only follow behind Zebei, and there was no way to go around Zebei.

Zebei, who was on the fast break, didn't even have the thought of looking back at Mitsui's position. He quickly took the ball to the basket, and dunked the ball into the basket.Although Mitsui Shou who followed behind wanted to make up for his mistakes, his jumping was a bit worse than Zebei's, and there was no way to stop Zebei from dunking.

With Akita County stealing the fast break and scoring the ball, finally, the scores of the two teams ushered in an inflection point.

At 15:15, for the first time, the two teams were evenly divided.

Mitsui Shou's mentality was affected, he was stimulated by Domoto, was intercepted by Zebei, and completed the dunk under his pursuit, all of which made Mitsui Shou feel ashamed.A young man of his age actually values ​​his own face quite a lot.

Eager to prove himself, Mitsui Shou finally struck iron.

On the offensive end, Toshimi Mitsui faced Eiji Sawakita’s defense and missed a strong three-pointer. Immediately, Akita Prefecture quickly counterattacked under the leadership of Kazunari Fukatsu. After several rounds of rapid conduction, the basketball was given to Kawada Masashi on the inside. Kawada Masashi who got the ball took a deep step to drive Akagi to the basket, and dunked with both hands to score.

Successfully surpassed the score, and the two consecutive slam dunks by Zebei Eiji and Kawada Masashi also brought the atmosphere of the game to a high point.Some more neutral fans began to cheer for Akita's score, but the cheers of the fans in Kanagawa were much weaker.

After being cut off once and hitting the iron once, Mu Shenyi planned to deal with Mitsui Shou one or two rounds coldly on the offensive end, and chose to try Xiandao.

Although Minoru Matsumoto couldn't stop Mitsui Hisashi, who had long-range shooting skills, he had some defensive experience when facing Xiandao.

In a one-on-one environment, Minoru Matsumoto couldn't prevent Xiandao's breakthrough, but this is a game, and he has teammates!Realizing that he couldn't defend against Xiandao, Matsumoto chose a smart way of playing, deliberately revealing defensive flaws, and deliberately drove Xiandao towards Kawada Masashi's defense zone.

And after Xiandao seized the opportunity to break through, he was greeted by Kawada Masashi's supplementary defense.Xiandao was a little afraid of Kawada Masashi, so he chose a mid-range emergency stop jumper as the finishing method, but his offensive choice was also expected by Matsumoto Minoru. When Sendo shot, Matsumoto jumped up to block the shot.

Although he failed to successfully cover Xiandao, it also frightened Xiandao, causing Xiandao to shoot and hit the iron.

Of course, Akita County will not let go of such an opportunity. After Masahiro Nobe took the defensive rebound, Akita County launched another counterattack. This time, the counterattack speed is quite fast!

Sawakita Eiji received a fast pass from his teammates in the frontcourt, passed the defensive Mu Shenichi and Mitsui Hisashi successively, and once again reached the basket of Kanagawa, scoring a dunk.

And Akita County's consecutive scoring also set off a wave of offense.In such a wave of offense, Kanagawa County shut down more points and fell into a scoring drought.

The time came to 8 minutes, and the score of the two teams came to 15:21.

After Zebei, Kanagawa County and Akita County played a few more rounds. Between offense and defense, Kanagawa County did not score. On the other hand, Akita County, Fukatsu scored another three-pointer to close the gap between the two teams. Pulled to 6 points.

Under this situation, Mu Shen wanted to stand up and break the team's downturn.

But it is a pity that Fukatsu Kazunari who was defending him did not give him such a chance at all. Although Fukatsu couldn't stop Mu Shenyi's breakthrough, he was able to catch up with him after Mu Shenyi's breakthrough. Masashi, Fukatsu Kazunari were able to double-team Mu Shenichi with Kawada, making it impossible for the breakthrough Amu to pass the ball.

Mu Shenyi's breakthrough ability is excellent, but if he can't pass the ball, his effect will be greatly reduced. As for facing Masashi Kawada head-on?The opponent is not a center of Akagi's level, laying up in front of Kawata is no different from dying.

As soon as Mu Shen knew that he couldn't do it by force, he paid a tuition fee of one ball.

And Akita County also spent Mu Shenyi's tuition perfectly, and the score of the two teams also came to 15:23, and the point difference widened to 8 points.

8 minutes 45 seconds.

Coach Tian Gang glanced at the timing on the scoreboard, folded his hands on his chest, leaned forward slightly, and looked serious. There was a "crack" sound on the floor.

On the court, Domoto Goro realized that the rhythm of Kanagawa's team was in chaos, thinking of killing Kanagawa with a stick, he instructed the players on the field to press hard.

The defensive pressure on the Kanagawa County side increased sharply. Mu Shenyi was double-teamed by Zebei and Fukatsu, and the ball was intercepted. At the same time, he slapped the opponent's arm with a slap, destroying the opponent's layup and at the same time receiving a foul.

As Fukatsu Kazunari stood at the free throw line, Coach Tian Gang finally sighed softly and said in a deep voice:

"You have all seen the situation on the field!"

"Those boys were stunned by their opponents."

"You guys, go wake them up."

"Shinomiya Tano, you replace Hanakata and play the power forward position!"

"Jinguji Budo, you go to replace Mitsui Shou."

"That kid, he can't handle Eiji Zebei."

When Coach Tian Gang was speaking, Jinguji Budao and Shinomiya Tianye had already stood up from their seats.After Fukatsu Kazunari, who was on the field, executed two free throws, Jinguji Budao and Shinomiya Tano went on the field to replace Hanakata and Mitsui Hisashi respectively.

With these two on the field, the fans in Kanagawa County, who were already unable to shout, broke out with unprecedented enthusiasm, and cheers rushed towards the field like a tsunami.

"That little bald head is very jumpy, let's start with him!"

"Can it be done? Martial arts."

After Shinomiya Tano walked into the court, he pointed at Eiji Zebei who was returning to the court, and asked Budo with a smile.

"Shall I come first?"

"Then I'm afraid the contest between you and me has already been decided."

"Zebei, I'm afraid I won't have the time to pay attention to you."
