From the beginning of the match between Hainan and Ryonan, Ryonan gave Hainan a surprise.

First, the unknown No. 13 power forward Fukuda Yoshitaka replaced Oda Ryumasa, who performed well in the Buri match, with the starting lineup.

The Ryonan No. 13 player, with his strong inside offensive ability and strong desire to attack, caught Hainan off guard.

The second was to let Sendoh start as the point guard, as the commander of the court, against Amu.

In the words of reporter Yayoi Aida, that is:

"Sendoh has a broad vision, the talent to create offense, and the intuition to pass the ball."

Except for Sendoh, the other players on the Ryonan team played very easily, especially Yuzhu and Fukuda, who turned Hainan's inside line upside down.

Only 11 minutes into the first half of the game, Ryonan was 12 points ahead of Hainan.

For a moment, the audience was quite surprised, but with the experience of Xiangbei defeating Hainan, they were also mentally prepared for Ryonan's strength, and Hainan had not lost yet.

"I didn't expect Ryonan to be so strong. I heard they beat Shohoku in the practice match!"

"Ah? Then Hainan is in danger! Will they lose?"

...

Finally, during the timeout, Kamiso Ichiro accidentally pointed out Fukuda Yoshitaka's weakness of playing basketball for several years but not having good defensive habits:

"If Ryonan's Oda Ryumasa's attack and defense are both 7, then Fukuda's attack and defense are 9 and 3!"

So Hainan's "wise man" Gaotou targeted Fukuda Yoshitaka and Hainan gradually caught up with Ryonan from 12 points in the first half, and finally tied the score at the end of the first half.

But the balance of victory did not lean towards Hainan. Throughout the first half, Yuzumi remained very calm whether facing Amu's layup in the restricted area or Takasago Kazuma's tempting foul.

This is not only because Yuzhu has unloaded the burden, from a powerful inside player to an inside defensive gate and team supporter, but also because of the previous experience of Akagi Takenori.

Yuzhu only fouled once in the whole first half, Tian Gangmao said proudly:

"How can it be so easy for you to drive Yuzhu off the court, Gaotou! Next, it depends on who is more powerful in attack..." Both coaches made tactical arrangements for the second half during the halftime break.

But from the beginning of the second half, it was obvious that Ryonan's tactics were better.

In the second half, Ryonan sent out the "Big Five" lineup of Yuzhu, Fukuda, Oda, Ikegami, and Sendoh to attack Hainan.

Among these five people, except for Ikegami's relatively low offensive means and offensive desire, the other four people have strong scoring means.

On the defensive end, their shortest Ikegami is also 183cm, not only has enough height advantage, but also can block Hainan's backcourt double gun combination through Ikegami and Oda's one-on-one defense.

In Hanamichi's opinion, if it weren't for the weak on-the-spot command of Coach Tanaka, and the team had played against Hainan when they had a 10-point advantage in the first half, they would have won long ago.

Although Ryonan doesn't have an outside three-point shooter now, it has the defensive leader Ikegami and Oda who is above average in both offense and defense, and can completely block anyone in Hainan except Shinichi Maki.

In addition, Sendoh's talent as a point guard is not inferior to Amu, so Ryonan can completely suppress Hainan with its strength, and there is no need to send out this lineup in the second half.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Coach Tanaka used Fukuda to steal a wave of Hainan's points in order to make a surprise attack, but since Hainan saw through it, he should have changed the formation earlier. In the second half, he would have to fight against Hainan with a knife and a gun!

Fortunately, Ryonan has the capital to make up for Coach Tanaka's carelessness and negligence, and the goddess of victory gradually waved to Ryonan.

With the support of Yuzhu, the Ryonan team had more shooting opportunities, and Sendo did not have such great pressure to shoot when facing Amu, and the whole Ryonan was completely activated.

In addition, Ryonan had a comprehensive advantage on the entire front line, and maintained the suppression of rebounds throughout the game. The point guard Sendo was not inferior to Hainan Amu.

Facing Ryonan's luxurious lineup, Hainan gradually fell into a disadvantage in the second half, just like facing Xiangbei.

Coach Gaotou had no way to deal with the gap in hard power between the two teams, and finally lost to Ryonan 81:92.

The best performance of the whole game was Yuzumi, who played a mainstay role in the interior. He scored 21 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists, and 5 blocks.

But everyone who watched the game knows that Sendo, who scored 17 points and sent 16 assists, was the one who really defeated Hainan Amu in a strategic sense.

Not only did heThe court guided Ryonan to exert the greatest offensive firepower. In the second half, when Maki Shinichi was fully bursting out to score points, he relied on himself to form a mutual explosion with Amu and suppressed his resistance.

Most of Sendoh's points were scored in the second half, and he was not at all inferior.

To use the words of Yuzumi who provoked Maki Shinichi before the game:

"The top spot in Kanagawa Prefecture has to be replaced today!"

As for Fukuda and Oda, they scored 20 points and 16 points respectively, and Ikegami, Uekusa and the cross-country who played in the first half scored a total of 18 points.

The whole Ryonan is considered to be in full bloom, but looking at the wrinkles on the face of coach Tanaoka's smile and Yuzumi's tears of joy, it is not difficult to know that Ryonan has achieved the best results in history in this joint finals.

The next is the decisive battle with Xiangbei, but no matter what, Xiangbei and Ryonan have achieved 2 wins and have taken the lead in locking in the seat representing Kanagawa Prefecture in the national competition.

As for Hainan, we can only say that the winter season is here again.

"I didn't expect Hainan, which has defended the Kanagawa championship for 16 consecutive years and participated in the national competition, to miss the national competition this time. This time it must be the front page headline, Miss Aida!"

Basketball Weekly intern reporter Nakamura said excitedly.

And Aida Yayoi said with certainty:

"There are bigger headlines! That is who will compete for the Kanagawa championship between Xiangbei and Ryonan!"

"Their playing styles are all unique, and the five starting players are all top players in the county. No, even if they are placed in the country, they are top players. Hainan has helped us verify this very well..."

Speaking of this, Aida Yayoi recalled the matchup performances of Yuzumi, Akagi, Sendoh, Rukawa, Hanamichi, Fukuda, Miyagi, Mitsui, Oda, and Ikegami during this period, and then said decisively:

"All this will be revealed tomorrow!"
