NBA: This flower path is a bit strong

After the simple first cooperation, Hanamichi and Rukawa seemed to know how to deal with the seniors, that is, to exchange the ball!

One of them attracted Akagi's attention, preferably to pull Akagi to the edge of the penalty area or outside, while the other one attacked the basket or shot.

However, because Hanamichi was mainly defending Akagi, he was the candidate for exchange the ball most of the time, and Rukawa took care of most of the subsequent points, and was in the limelight for a while.

At the end of the first half, the first-year students were far ahead with a score of 27:17.

During the half-time break, the second-year Yasuda exclaimed:

"It seems that the team has really come with an incredible guy."

"I never dreamed that our senior students would lose to the first-year students by 10 points in the first half."

This is the voice of Kakuta (the Great Emperor).

"It's almost time. The first-year students' physical strength has been consumed by more than half after the intense exercise in the first half. It's our turn to counterattack in the second half!"

Kumure said confidently.

Only Akagi looked at Hanamichi in the rest area opposite. The reason why the first-year students were ahead in the first half was not only because of Rukawa, but also because of that guy! And after such an intense exercise, his physical strength did not decrease at all. "It seems that we have to show our real skills in the second half!"

Coach Anzai suddenly stood up and said to the first-year students: "Rukawa will be replaced in the second half, and Kuwata Jiro will be on the court..."

After that, Coach Anzai walked back to his seat.

The first-year students were puzzled. If we were to say who played the best in the first half, it was of course Rukawa. When he was replaced when he was in good form, the other first-year students suddenly seemed to have lost their backbone.

I saw Taro Ishii weakly raised his hand and said in a weak voice: "Why don't you replace me..."

Before Akagi said anything, Hanamichi cursed:

"Stupid, the coach must have a deep meaning for doing this! Besides, the team practice match is to observe your strength, and the second half is the time to fight hard, do you want to escape!"

"I... I'm not trying to escape."

Taro Ishii didn't want to be labeled as a deserter.

Hanamichi also softened his tone when he saw this: "Then concentrate on the second half, let's go!"

"Oh x 4".

"One!"

Akagi raised his right fist and led the senior team to the court.

Rukawa Kaede was confused when he was replaced, but after hearing what Hanamichi called "the coach's deep meaning", he moved a folding chair silently like Coach Anzai before the game and sat next to Coach Anzai.

Seeing the second half of the game start, Coach Anzai seemed to be talking to Rukawa, or to himself:

"Observing and getting familiar with the strength of teammates is also a kind of basketball practice; the reasonable allocation of physical energy in the high school court is also a kind of basketball skill."

Rukawa silently repeated Coach Anzai's words, and suddenly realized it, and then sat quietly in a chair to watch the game.

In the second half of the jump ball, as expected, Hanamichi still won. He shot the ball to Suzuki Ken, but unfortunately it was intercepted by Mumu, who dribbled to the opponent's basket.

Seeing this, Hanamichi rushed to catch up, got into position before everyone else, and made gestures for defense in the restricted area.

Mumu blinked at Akagi, and the two ran to the basket from 45 degrees to the left and right. Taking advantage of Mumu's one-step jump shot outside the restricted area, although he knew that this might be a trick to lure the enemy, Hanamichi had to rush forward to pounce on the ball. Just when he was about to block the basketball in Mumu's hand, Mumu hit the ground and passed the ball to Akagi.

After Akagi caught the ball with both hands, he took two steps forward, then jumped up and dunked the basketball into the basket~ "Bang!" The gorilla dunked.

The score was shortened to 8 points.

Next, I don't know if it was inspired by Akagi's dunk, in the eyes of the first-year players, the senior players suddenly became more powerful, not only running faster, jumping higher, but also shooting more accurately. The score was narrowed little by little. Even with Hanamichi's tough singles under the basket, Akagi scored, but the efficiency was far less than that of the seniors. Finally, 2 and a half minutes into the second half, the two sides tied at 31:31.

"No, this won't work. I can't let the stinky fox look down on me. I have to think of a way... That's right! Use it."

Hanamichi took advantage of the opportunity to serve the ball from the baseline and called the other four together. After a simple whisper, they started serving.

Coach Anzai saw this and made a puzzled sound: "Huh?"

Rukawa Kaede looked disgusted: What! What insidious tricks has this deceiving red-haired monkey come up with again!

This time, Hua Dao really didn't think of any tricks, but remembered the famous "Magic Beast" Howard in the memory of later generations. When he was in the Magic team, heTailor-made tactics - one star and four shooters.

That is, the restricted area is opened, and four shooters are ready to shoot at any time on the outside, while Howard competes for rebounds in the restricted area, or plays a second offense, or passes to open teammates; when defending, four teammates also narrow the defensive circle, and Howard is ready to assist or make up for defense.

It is said that the prototype of this "one star and four shooters" tactic can be traced back to the Rockets during the Olajuwon period.

The Rockets of the 1993-94 season were based on the core Olajuwon, and equipped with a group of three-point shooters around him: Horry with a 37.9% three-point shooting rate, Maxwell with a 32.4% three-point shooting rate, Cassell and Kenny Smith with a three-point shooting rate of 33% and 42.9% respectively.

In the end, this lineup also helped them win 58 games in the regular season and repeatedly defeated strong opponents in the playoffs, winning the first championship in team history. (Of course, the main reason is that Joe retired after winning the championship in 1993)

Here, Hanamichi made a simple change, that is, when defending, the 180cm Masaru Tanaka specifically guarded the open three-pointer of Mugure. At this time, the more time is needed, let alone the three-pointer that can widen the gap. Once the gap is widened by the senior team, the mentality of the first-year players will collapse, and then they will no longer have the strength to fight with the senior team.

Kuwata Jiro carefully protected the ball to the frontcourt, and then passed the ball to the running Masaru Tanaka. Masaru Tanaka was strictly defended by Mugure and could not find an open position. Hanamichi was also stuck in position by Akagi at this time and could not receive the pass at all. Just when the seniors thought that the first-years would lose this offensive opportunity again, Masaru Tanaka suddenly passed the ball to the new Kuwata Jiro. Kuwata Jiro ran out of half an open position at this time and hurriedly threw the ball to the basket.

After the shot, Kuwata Jiro found that the power and direction of the shot were seriously interfered by Yasuda, so he shouted loudly:

"Hanamichi, rebound!"

The basketball hit the neck of the basket and jumped high. Seeing this, Hanamichi turned around to face the basket, stuck Akagi tightly, and kept pushing him back with force. While staring at the basketball, he murmured: "Push out, squeeze out, squeeze you out!"

Akagi was also stunned. When did he, Akagi, grab the rebound so passively? But now he really couldn't do anything about the red-haired boy in front of him.

In the reflective glasses of Coach Anxi, a fiery red rocket suddenly rose up like a thunderbolt on dry land, and there were no other obstacles in the air.

Hanamichi grabbed the rebound with both hands, straightened his waist and abdomen, and slammed the basketball into the basket!

Everyone at the scene was stunned. Finally, it was the four members of the Sakuragi Army who broke the silence:

"Hanamichi, he actually suppressed the gorilla! Successfully dunked!"

"Dong dong dong dong!" Four voices came. It turned out that Akagi gave the Sakuragi Army four heavy punches!

Seeing this, Rukawa Kaede whispered: Gorilla!

Coach Anzai said nothing, thinking about something in his heart.

In the next attack of the senior class, when Mu Mu passed the ball to Kadota for an open shot, Hanamichi suddenly ran quickly from the other side of the basket to Kadota, blocked the ball, and took it down. This amazing amount of exercise once again refreshed everyone's understanding of Hanamichi!

The ball was finally scored by Kuwata Jiro with an open shot. The score suddenly became 35:31, and the freshmen took the lead again.

Looking at Sakuragi Hanamichi who was constantly assisting and defending in the penalty area, Mu Mu wiped the sweat from his cheek and said, "Won't Hanamichi get tired?"

Akagi replied, "In terms of physical strength and exercise, Hanamichi has surpassed all of us. He should not be underestimated."

At this time, Coach Anzai was sure of one thing: "I can't believe that Hanamichi can come up with such a tactic that fits his own reality and the team's situation at the moment. It's amazing, oh ho ho ho!"
