Chapter 268 Hainan VS Aiwa: Stalemate
"Amu! Amu! Amu!" Amu passed Suzuki and Moroboshi and scored 2+1 in front of Mori Shigehiro. Amu's wonderful performance made the Hainan fans cheer in unison.
"Maki Shinichi... is worthy of being the ace of the national runner-up, his strength is really impressive." Aiwa's coach Ishii couldn't help but admire Amu's performance.
Amu took the ball from the referee and made the free throw, 10:8, Hainan completed the reversal
Hainan's captain had an outstanding performance. As the captain of Aiwa, he was naturally unwilling to fall behind. After Suzuki passed the ball to Moroboshi, the four players of Aiwa all pulled away to create a one-on-one opportunity for their captain. Moroboshi made two consecutive fake moves, but Muto was very focused and did not fall for Moroboshi's fake moves. Seeing this, Moroboshi took two steps on the spot and suddenly stood up to raise his center of gravity. Seeing this, Muto subconsciously raised his center of gravity. Moroboshi keenly seized the moment when Muto's center of gravity increased, lowered his waist, and accelerated the breakthrough.
Muto didn't expect that Moroboshi would break through so quickly. Moroboshi, who was already one step ahead, tried his best to catch up. But Moroboshi's breakthrough was fake, and his shot was real. Moroboshi took two steps inside with the ball, and then immediately stopped. He took the ball with both hands and took a step back to the three-point line.
Muto had just pulled up all the speed to chase and defend, when he suddenly saw Moroboshi stop suddenly, his mind was working rapidly, and he also wanted to stop. But Muto's actions could not keep up with his brain, and when he wanted to stop, his left foot stepped on his right foot and he fell to the ground.
"Damn it, Moroboshi has too many fake moves," the fallen Muto cursed inwardly, watching the basketball fly out from Moroboshi's fingertips and fly straight towards the basket.
"Shua!" At 10:11, Captain Aiwa responded to Hainan with a beautiful three-pointer.
After a series of crotch dribbles, Amu completed a breakthrough by sticking to Suzuki.
Zhemu was about to step forward to make up for the defense, but was stopped by Mori Shigehiro with one hand, "I don't believe he can still score in front of me"
"Good boy, let's see." When Amu heard what Mori Shigehiro said, the corner of his mouth raised and he rushed straight forward. The distance between the two people on the court kept shrinking. When there was still one step between them, Amu caught the ball and flew up, and this time Mori Shigehiro also seized the opportunity and jumped up.
"Bang!" The two men collided in the air, and Amu's forward momentum suddenly stopped. Mori Shigehiro, who was impacted, leaned back slightly with his upper body, but he quickly adjusted himself and stretched out his hand to press down on the ball in Amu's hand.
This is all right? ! Oh my goodness! Ah Mu was secretly shocked. He jumped sideways to make this shot, which reduced the contact area. In addition, the huge kinetic energy brought by the jump, logically, Mori Shigehiro would be at a disadvantage, but he didn't expect the latter to withstand this wave. And Mori Shigehiro has already gained the upper hand with his height advantage. In order to avoid being blocked, Ah Mu could only throw the ball to the basket based on his feeling.
"Bang!" The ball missed the target
"My rebound" Naito took advantage of Mori Shigehiro's defense to grab the frontcourt rebound and then shoot
"Bang!" Mori Shigehiro had rushed back and blocked Naito from behind!
"Foul, referee!" The Hainan players on the sidelines signaled, but the referee did not respond. Although Mori Shigehiro's block looked fierce, it was very clean and there was no physical contact between the two sides. The ball was caught by the Aiwa players, and seeing that the referee did not blow the whistle, Aiwa Academy pushed for a counterattack.
"Hurry up and get back on defense!" Amu loudly reminded his players. However, after being blocked, Naito was still not convinced and kept complaining to the referee, chattering.
"Ding, purple number 8, technical foul!" The referee couldn't stand it anymore and blew a technical foul on Naito, and awarded Aiwa two free throws! Gaotou saw that Naito was a little bit overwhelmed, so he quickly signaled for a substitution and asked Naito to come down and calm down.
Moroboshi made two free throws, Aiwa continued to serve the ball from the baseline, Naito in the interior of Hainan was replaced, Takasago retired due to injury, Suzuki did not hesitate to pass the ball to Mori Shigehiro in the interior, but his intention was too obvious, Amu intercepted the ball directly from the air, "We counterattack" Amu took the lead, and the Hainan players also advanced to Aiwa's half court like a tide. Amu passed a ground ball to A Shen while moving. A Shen dribbled the ball one step to the three-point line. The Aiwa Academy players knew the power of A Shen's three-pointer, and someone came to defend immediately, but A Shen passed the ball to Kosuge who had just been replaced on the other side. The cooperation of these three people completely disrupted Aiwa's defensive rhythm. With the opportunity to receive the ball in an open position, Kosuge's three-pointer hit steadily, and the two sides tied at 13!
In the following game, Aiwa played mainly inside, and Hainan's inside players could not withstand Mori Shigehiro's strong attack, so Hainan chose to attack from the outside. Ashen and Kosuge took turns to shoot, and their hit rate was also quite impressive. Unknowingly, the first half ended, 37:41, and Hainan fell behind by 4 points into the second half
"Naito, you come on in the second half and control your emotions. The team needs you."
"Yes, Coach," Naito nodded.
"Although we didn't lead the score, I am very satisfied with everyone's performance in the first half. Hainan's outside shooting can't be accurate all the time. A Kuan should not think about being in the limelight and run to the outside to block their shots. The bald guy from Hainan will definitely play in the second half. Your task is to defend the basket and don't give anyone a chance to grab rebounds. Moroboshi, you take a break first. At the critical moment, you can't do without your scoring. Matsui, you go in and use your shooting to open up offensive space for A Kuan. Suzuki, you already have three fouls, you must pay attention to control the number of your fouls," Ishii was also making tactical adjustments. Matsui Oura, as mentioned in the previous article, was a student of the same class as Katsumi and Nakajima. He was the MVP player of that Kanagawa Junior High School. After graduating from junior high school, his family moved to Aichi Prefecture. Last year, Aiwa Academy was full of talented people, and Matsui did not have much playing time.
At the beginning of the second half, Mori Shigehiro won the jump ball, and the ball was in Suzuki's hands. After completing the scramble for the ball, Mori Shigehiro suddenly started and ran to the front court. Suzuki took two steps and threw the ball into the air
"Naito, be careful of the alley-oop!" Amu discovered Aiwa's thoughts and quickly reminded him.
"Leave it to me!" Naito jumped high, but he felt a huge force coming from behind, causing him to lose his balance. "Bang!" With a loud bang, Mori Shigehiro overpowered Naito and completed an alley-oop dunk! 37:43
Although Mori Shigehiro made an alley-oop, Ah Mu's mood did not change at all. He held the ball and controlled the rhythm. After about seven or eight seconds, he suddenly broke through Suzuki and passed the ball to Ah Shen, who then passed the ball back to him. At this point, there was a big gap in front of him. Without hesitation, he jumped up and shot. "Swish!" The basketball went through the net, making a crisp and pleasant sound. 39:43
Aiwa attacked, Naito Tetsuya held Mori Shigehiro from behind, Oda was beside Naito, helping to defend while stretching his arms to cover Mori Shigehiro. Muto was in front of Mori Shigehiro, leaning against Mori Shigehiro and stretching his arms to prevent him from catching the ball. However, Mori Shigehiro made a lateral move and easily broke through the encirclement of three people, but two fists could not beat four hands~ not to mention that there were six hands now, Naito, Oda, and Muto moved quickly, still tightly trapping Mori Shigehiro in the middle, not giving him a chance to catch the ball.
"A three-man double team? That's a good strategy, but it leaves Zhemu open inside. Zhemu's skills aren't bad either, and I also replaced him with Matsui." Ishii sneered.
Suzuki saw that Mori Shigehiro had no chance in the paint, so he passed the ball to Tetsuki. Tetsuki made a mid-range shot, which Muto had expected. When Suzuki passed the ball, Muto had already made up for the defense and successfully interfered with Tetsuki. Tetsuki's mid-range shot missed, but Mori Shigehiro overpowered Oda and Naito to grab the offensive rebound. After grabbing the rebound, Mori Shigehiro did not choose to attack himself, but passed the ball to the outside line
"Oops, Matsui is unguarded." As a former Hainan Junior High School player and former MVP player, Gaotou still remembers the characteristics of this player. Matsui took a three-point shot and made it! 39:46
During Hainan's attack, Amu lobbed the ball into the paint and gave it to Naito, shouting "Give it back to him!"
Give us one more? Interesting, this bald guy is really strong, but he is no match for me. Mori Shigehiro smiled coldly and lowered his center of gravity to prevent Naito from attacking. However, Naito did not choose to attack, but blocked Mori Shigehiro and passed the ball. It turned out that Amu cut in, took the pass from Naito, and made a layup.
"Oops, I got fooled!" Mori Shigehiro rushed to block Amu, but this time, he was a step slower, and Amu scored against Mori Shigehiro's defense. And he successfully caused Mori Shigehiro to foul! Amu made the free throw 42:46
"A-Kuan, you have already committed three fouls. Be careful about the number of fouls. Suzuki, don't let A-Mu get away from you so easily." Ishii reminded the players loudly off the court.
In the next round, Hainan double-teamed Mori Shigehiro again, Suzuki passed the ball to Matsui, but A Shen was prepared and started early. Although he failed to steal the ball, he interfered with Matsui, and the ball hit Matsui and went out of bounds. Hainan quickly sent the ball to the baseline, and A Mu prepared to launch a fast break. However, Suzuki fouled early, which bought time for the team to return to defense. A Mu continued to attack this time. Although he missed, he caused Tetsuki to foul. A Mu made two free throws 44:46
Mizuwa missed the mid-range shot. Although Mori Shigehiro grabbed the rebound, Naito fouled during the second attack. Mori Shigehiro's free throw ability is average. He missed both free throws. Naito grabbed the rebound and directly pushed forward. The players of Aiwa Academy were all stunned. A center dribbling forward? While they were stunned, Naito had already pushed forward to the front court.
"What are you all standing there for? Go back to defense!" Ishii shouted dissatisfiedly. The coach's shouting reminded the Aiwa players, but it was too late. Naito scored a fast break dunk and the game was tied at 46!
"Zhu Xing, you go ahead. We can't let Hainan gain the upper hand."
"Leave it to me" Aiwa's captain appears again!
