NBA: This flower path is a bit strong

"Beep", with the referee's whistle, the game begins.

At the same time, this is also the last game of this Kanagawa selection.

This game starts with a jump ball, and it will also compete for who is the top center in Kanagawa Prefecture.

Akagi Takenori, the main center of the Xiangbei basketball team, nicknamed "Gorilla", is the spiritual pillar of the team.

He has outstanding leadership, lofty ideals, and caution until the last moment.

His strong mental strength allows him to perform at his best even when injured. In addition, he has solid basic skills under the basket and has a sense of scoring under the basket that ordinary centers do not have! (Admitted by Yuzumi himself)

The disadvantage is that he is as upright as a samurai, too idealistic and self-centered, and his offensive means are single, especially when far away from the basket.

Yuzumi Jun, the main center of the Ryonan basketball team, nicknamed "Monkey Boss", the "Big Black Pillar" of the Ryonan team!

(Kanagawa is the best at cooking among basketball players, and the best at basketball among chefs.)

One of the best centers in the prefecture who can compete with Akagi of Xiangbei, with the highest height in the prefecture (high school) and a huge body.

Possessing amazing perseverance and resilience, amazing self-esteem, with physical talent but no basketball talent, but after "awakening", his basketball IQ is terrifyingly high, and his weakness of being irritable and impulsive has also been improved.

Amazing defensive ability, especially the sense of pressure under the basket, can think of the team at critical moments.

The disadvantage is the lack of offensive agility, and like Akagi, the scoring method is single.

For a long time, in terms of personal performance and external evaluation, Akagi has been better than Yuzumi in the past two years.

From the beginning of this Kanagawa selection competition to now, the performances of both of them are very exciting.

But these two have not officially played against each other, so it is difficult for the judges and the audience to compare!

On the court, with the referee's "whistle":

"Hey!"

"Ah!"

Akagi and Yuzumi both jumped up and fought for the basketball in the air.

"Pah".

The two sides jumped at the same height, but Yuzumi, who was full of fighting spirit, used his slightly better strength to push Akagi and hit the basketball to the side where Fukuda Yoshitaka was.

However, due to Akagi's strong interference, the ball deviated from Fukuda Yoshitaka's direction and fell in the air.

For a while, Xiangbei and Ryonan started to fight for the floor ball.

In the end, it was the shortest and agile Miyagi Ryouta who received the ball, and Xiangbei took the lead in the first round of attack.

"From the perspective of upper limb strength, Yuzumi is slightly better."

Shota Sugiyama said to himself.

Shigeka Tanabe turned from a coach into a commentator, explaining and commenting carefully:

"Takehiko Akagi, 197cm, 90kg; Jun Uozumi, 202cm, 90kg; they are both captains of the basketball team, and they are about the same height and weight, and they are equally ugly! But judging from the jump ball just now, our Uozumi is slightly better than Akagi."

"Uozumi has always been inferior to Akagi in reputation, and was shut out by Akagi in his second year of high school, but only this year, this year's Uozumi, I firmly believe that he has all the factors to defeat Akagi!"

In the first round of the confrontation, Xiangbei really revolved around Akagi in the interior.

After Akagi got the ball in the interior, he directly used his strength to push Yuzumi, as if to prove that the power disadvantage in the jump ball just now was just an accident.

He took the initiative to lower his center of gravity and squeeze Yuzumi with the strength of his entire back to gain space for turning.

Yuzumi would not admit defeat easily. In order to avoid being called for a foul, he even opened his arms, stepped heavily on the floor with his feet, and directly raised his chest to receive Akagi's huge force. The two of them competed in strength in the restricted area.

"Awesome!"

Hanagita and Takasago said at the same time:

"They are simply two monsters."

Fortunately, there is no three-second restriction in the restricted area. The two people in the restricted area are evenly matched in strength but have not yet decided the winner.

Yuzumi spoke in a fierce voice:

"Give up on this idea, Akagi, I must stop you this time."

Akagi did not answer after listening to Yuzumi's words, but took advantage of this gap to force a half turn, carrying Yuzumi's force to attack, imitating Hanamichi's hook attack technique, and threw the ball into the basket with a stiff wrist.

Although the posture is not good-looking, because it is close to the basket, the basketball still stumbles into the basket after bumping against it.

In this regard, Kazuo Karasawa commented:

"Akagi's offensive methods are a bit rough, but in terms of lower body strength, he is better than Yuzumi."

Ryonan attacked, and his teammates also passed the ball to Yuzumi under the basket, hopingI hope he can return the favor to Akagi.

Just like before, the two wrestled under the basket. But soon, Yuzumi bypassed Akagi with a relatively fast lateral movement, jumped under the basket and shot.

But it should be said that Akagi's defensive ability is definitely better than his offensive ability.

(When Akagi played against Hanamichi, Muguro said this through his mouth)

Even if he was thrown away, Akagi ran over quickly and interfered with Yuzumi's shot.

The moment the basketball was shot, Yuzumi knew that the ball was crooked.

So after he landed, he was prepared in the first time, quickly jumped up again, and made up the ball with his right hand.

After landing again, Yuzumi roared at Akagi:

"Akagi, let's end our grievances today!"

"Okay! Yuzumi."

"Captain, come on, beat Akagi!"

There was a cheering voice from the Ryonan bench.

Akagi did not comment on Yuzumi's provocation. If he could completely beat Yuzumi on both offense and defense like last year, he would not mind fighting Yuzumi until the end of the game.

But it is obvious that after the two offensive and defensive duels just now, Akagi is not completely sure that he can absolutely suppress Yuzumi.

In addition, since Coach Anzai was not there, he still had to take on the responsibility of leading the team to victory, so he had already given up the one-on-one duel with Yuzumi from the bottom of his heart, but he still said unforgivingly:

"Hmph! That's just what I want. I will fight you in my own way!"

Yuzumi, who returned to defense, thought carefully about what Akagi had just said, and thought to himself:

"Akagi, you have really put down the burden of "self-centeredness" and admitted that Xiangbei is not a team that will lose if you are defeated. Compared with you who were good at both offense and defense before, Akagi who is now focused on winning is the opponent that I, Yuzumi, truly recognize!"

Yuzumi Jun, who awakened the [side dish philosophy], was so happy for the first time, happy to compete with the more powerful Akagi with no dead ends.

"Then next, let's fight in our own ways!"

Next, both sides still played the ball around their own centers.

On the Ryonan side, Yuzumi Jun fully played his role in low-post coordination. By restraining Akagi, he constantly passed the ball to Fukuda Yoshitaka, Sendoh and Oda Ryumasa who cut into the inside line. From time to time, he would grab offensive rebounds and launch secondary attacks under the basket with his height advantage.

As for Xiangbei, Akagi pulled Yuzumi out of the inside line and completely released Mitsui's outside firepower by picking and rolling for Mitsui. At the same time, the inside line was vacated to facilitate Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede's offense. After the pick and roll, Akagi would also quickly run back and cut into the basket to attack the basket according to the situation.

The two centers, one sometimes made a strong second-time tip-in, and sometimes showed amazing passing skills; the other sometimes pulled to the high position to coordinate, and sometimes picked and rolled.

Although the methods were different, there was no doubt that they all revitalized the team in their own unique way, and the offense of the two teams was well organized, which made the audience enjoy a delicious positional offense and defense battle.

At this time, Kazuo Karasawa in the stands said to Shota Sugiyama:

"These two big guys are both promising center prospects, and they have a clear understanding of their tactical positioning. We can get in touch with them after the game."

Although Kazuo Karasawa said it very reservedly, his eyes showed his appreciation for the qualities shown by Akagi and Uozumi in this game.

The first half was already halfway through, and the score was 23:24. Xiangbei had a slight advantage of one point, but the ball was in the hands of Ryonan.

Sendoh on the court signaled the referee and called a timeout.

"What, Sendoh asked for a timeout! What about Coach Tanaka?"

The audience turned their eyes to Shigeichi Tanaka, and only then did they realize that the coach in light green overalls had sat in the guest commentary seat at some point.

Seeing him cross his arms and not saying a word about his team's request for a timeout, the quick-witted audience finally realized:

"Coach Tanaka is not going to give any guidance to the Ryonan team. Is it because of Coach Anzai?"

The tall coach who is most familiar with "Tanaka Ali" in the stands said seriously:

"What a big deal, Senior Tanaka! Are you preparing for the national competition in advance?"

On the other side, Fujima also cast his eyes on Sendoh and Miyagi and said:

"Akagi and Uozumi can only be regarded as the tactical focus of the two teams at the beginning. It is impossible to keep attacking like this!"

"Then it will depend on the field commanders of the two teams. For Ryonan, Sendoh has called a timeout. It seems that he is going to change his tactics! From this point of view, although Miyagi of Xiangbei is a first-class point guard in the county,Compared with Xiandao, he is at a disadvantage in terms of both practical experience and personal strength. ”
