After the timeout, both teams entered the court at the same time.

But what surprised everyone was that Xiangbei replaced Akagi, who had performed well in the first 10 minutes, with No. 5 shooter Mugure Konobu.

"It seems that the competition for the top center in Kanagawa Prefecture has come to an end for the time being. The next step is the tactical competition between point guards!"

Fujima said. Having played against Xiangbei before, he was naturally familiar with the lineup of the Xiangbei team, which was the "Run and Gun" run-and-gun tactic.

Then, as Fujima expected, Xiangbei played the run-and-gun tactic.

Xiangbei served the ball many times to promote fast breaks, and quickly passed the basketball to Ryonan's half through multiple people.

Or cut into the inside, or shoot from the outside.

However, the proportion of outside shooting accounted for the majority. After all, even if the shot missed, there was Hanamichi, the little bully under the basket with fast footwork, amazing speed, abundant physical strength, and full of bounce, who grabbed the rebound in the inside and made a second attack or passed the ball out to reorganize.

For a while, Xiangbei's offensive wave was faster than the other, and the attack was often completed within 10 seconds.

Although Sendoh tried his best to stop Xiangbei's fast break engine ~ Miyagi Ryouta, Xiangbei's fast break was like a wild horse out of a cage, running with its feet scattered, and it couldn't slow down at all.

He also saw the battle last year when Fujima led Shoyo to be "defeated" by Touou High School in Osaka with running and gunning.

In comparison, Xiangbei's true hit rate is indeed not as good as Touou, but Xiangbei's score is still not low.

Not to mention that their defense is also better.

After running for such a while, even Sendoh himself felt a little tired, not to mention the big man Yuzumi Jun.

Sugiyama Shota looked at the situation on the court and analyzed:

"No wonder Xiangbei replaced Akagi. One is to save Akagi's physical strength, and the other is to launch a run-and-gun tactic. A big guy like him is not suitable for this tactic at all. Just look at Yuzumi."

Kazuo Karasawa is worthy of being the university supervisor and the head coach of the World Youth Championship. His vision is certainly better than that of Sugiyama Shota. He wiped his glasses, thought for a moment, and then said decisively:

"This is not a simple run-and-gun tactic. With only the run-and-gun tactic, it is impossible for Xiangbei's No. 7 guard to completely take the initiative in front of Sendoh."

"Teacher, if this is not a run-and-gun tactic, what is it?"

Kazuo Karasawa said slowly:

"I don't know! Xiangbei's first half of the offensive is indeed a run-and-gun fast break play."

"But the difference is that Xiangbei ends the fast break In the special passage in the corridor, a scout reporter was writing furiously: The amazing run-and-gun tactics, equipping the team's interior defense core with three shooters who are good at running, jumping and shooting, and then guided by an excellent "fast break engine" point guard, will result in an amazing offensive advantage... This scout, who is still unknown at the moment, didn't know that his article on Xiangbei's tactics would be far away in one or two years. It was turned out by another scout on the other side of the ocean and eventually became the prototype of the Houston Mosaic team's signature tactics - the earliest "one star four shooters". At that time, the coach and management of the Mosaic team adopted this tactic and equipped their team's core inside player, top center Hakeem Olajuwon, with a group of three-point shooters:

Horry with a 37.9% three-point shooting rate, Maxwell with a 32.4% three-point shooting rate, Cassell with a 33% three-point shooting rate, and Kenny Smith with a 42.9% three-point shooting rate.

With this lineup and tactics, the Rockets quickly won the NBA championship in the 93-94 season and the 94-95 season within two years after the basketball god Joe briefly left the NBA.

At the end of the first half, Xiangbei led Ryonan with 63:47.

Facing Xiangbei's fast break running and gunning tactics and the combination of the [pseudo] "one star and three shooters" tactics, the Ryonan team was obviously unable to resist. It could only strengthen its offense and rely on Yuzumi's role in the interior to score two points at a time.

Shinichi Maki, the point guard and former number one player of Kanagawa King, explained:

"From the score, it can be seen that Ryonan's scoring ability is not weakened!"

"Ryonan's score in the last 10 minutes of the first half was basically the same as the score in the first 10 minutes, evenEven more."

"On the contrary, Xiangbei, with the support of tactics, has exploded with huge offensive power. Now they are unstoppable!"

Coach Gaotou also said secretly:

"I thought it would be a battle of point guards, but it turned out to be a battle of tactics."

"In this regard, Ryonan's [positional warfare] lost to Xiangbei's [run-and-gun tactics]. No~ I can only say that Xiangbei's unique run-and-gun tactics are too suitable for them."

"From this point of view, I have to admire Coach Anxi for tailoring this set of tactics for the team."

And the hero behind the scenes, the real "master of tactics" - (Sakuragi) Hanamichi took advantage of the halftime break and suggested in the locker room:

"Captain, we can't play like this in the second half."

"Although after yesterday's fierce battle, Ryonan is more tired than us. If we continue to run like this, Ryonan will definitely be the first to be dragged down. ”

“But Xiaosan and the others will be even more tired. If something goes wrong, we won’t have any other backup plan!”

“Asshole, who do you think will go wrong?”

Mitsui was furious and looked at Hanamichi while panting.

Even Rukawa Kaede beside him looked over. For some reason, he felt the “offense” from the red-haired monkey.

Hanmichi hurriedly explained:

“What I mean is, since the captain has rested for so long and is in good condition, why don’t we take the initiative to fight a positional battle with Ryonan in the second half.”

“We will defend this 16-point advantage and respond to changes with the same attitude.”

“The results of the first 10 minutes of the first half have proved that even in a positional battle, Ryonan can only be 50-50 with us at most.”

“I think we should take this opportunity to test Sendoh’s level. What do you think? Sleepyhead. ”

Rukawa, who had always been taciturn, surprisingly agreed with Hanamichi’s opinion this time.

Compared to sitting on the bench and watching his teammates’ performance, Akagi certainly wanted to play in the game, as he and Yuzumi had not yet decided the winner.

Now, three of the five starting players agreed, and Xiangbei’s tactics for the second half were determined:

The offensive end returned to the positional battle of the first half, and the defensive end adopted a man-to-man tactic.

On the other side, in the Ryonan locker room, this was the first time they thought about the tactics of the game in the absence of Coach Tanaka.

As the captain of the team, Yuzumi stood up first and said:

“In the second half, I will do my best to keep up with Xiangbei’s rhythm and prevent them from widening the score. But the task of chasing points is left to you, Sendoh!”

Sendoh shook off the sweat on his head and said:

“I will catch up with the score!”

Seeing this, Yuzumi shouted:

“Everyone, please! Help Sendoh catch up with the score, and leave the inside defense to me!”

“Yes ×4. ”
