Chapter 373 The Mountain King’s tactics lead to unexpected directions!

Fifteen minutes into the second half, Sanno Industrial could not withstand the tremendous pressure from Shohoku High School and called their last timeout of the game.

The players from both sides returned to their respective rest areas amidst the cheers of the audience. As soon as Jinguji Martial Arts came out, they were surrounded by the team members. Mitsui Hisashi happily handed Jinguji Martial Arts towels and water bottles, and praised them.

:

"Martial arts, you are doing well, keep up the good work!"

"Sanno Industrial will soon be unable to withstand it. With so many people defending you, you are forced to break through and score."

"It won't be long before their own morale is lost."

Mitsui Hisashi's judgment of the situation is very accurate. In fact, at this point in the game, Sanno Industries only has one string left. This pause is their last chance to make adjustments.

If Sanno Industries cannot produce tactical results and stabilize the game after returning from the timeout, they will then face a complete collapse.

"Well, I don't intend to give them another chance."

"I have lost interest in them. I thought that the Mountain King would have some unexpected ways of playing, but I didn't expect that it would only be like this."

Budao opened the bottle cap, took a sip of water, rinsed his mouth, and spit it into the trash can.

He turned around and looked at the Sanwang rest area not far away, with a smile on his face.

During the timeout, Coach Anzai didn't make any tactical arrangements. He just gave Sakuragi and others a few words of encouragement, and then he sat down on his seat without worrying about the next game.

When the Xiangbei players saw such a big lead, they all acted very relaxed. The atmosphere in the entire Xiangbei rest area was cheerful.

Looking back at the Sanno Industrial rest area, the team members all gathered around Goro Domoto without saying a word, and the atmosphere was solemn.

Goro Domoto held a tactical board in his hand and was quickly arranging Sanno's offensive and defensive tactics.

"On the offensive end, we have been playing very well. Although the red-haired guy from Xiangbei blocked a few of our attacks by chance, overall, our tactics are fine."

"Avoid the defense of Jinguji Budo on the outside and launch an attack around Masashi Kawada and Mikio Kawada on the inside."

"Xiangbei High School can't stop our attack."

"On this basis, Matsumoto, you have to shoulder some offensive tasks. It is too monotonous to rely solely on inside offense. You have to play some singles with the ball to enrich the team's offense."

"The pressure on you from the first year in Xiangbei shouldn't be that great! Why are you so inactive?!"

Goro Domoto glared at Minoru Matsumoto as he spoke, and then continued towards the team members:

"The biggest problem now is our defense."

"The personal strength of Jinguji Martial Arts is very strong, very strong!"

"I think you have all experienced this firsthand."

"Our defensive strategy needs to be slightly changed. Double-teaming by two or three people may not be able to stop him holding the ball."

"Zebei, Kawada Masashi, you two will keep an eye on Jinguji Budo the whole time. No matter if he is in the frontcourt or in the backcourt, whether he has the ball or not, there is no need to worry about the others!"

"Note, it's best to prevent him from getting the ball. Once you let him get the ball, he may break through your defense."

Goro Domoto spoke very fast, and the Sanno players surrounding him listened carefully and nodded. At this point, Goro Domoto's eyes fell on Kazunari Fukatsu and continued.

:

"Fukatsu, your defense needs to make some adjustments. When defending Miyagi Ryota, you should deliberately put some slack at the appropriate time."

"Don't guard too hard and let him have a gap to break through. What you have to do is to give him space to shoot after he breaks through, and then interfere when he shoots."

"With defense like yours, Miyagi Ryota won't even take a shot. If he doesn't take a shot, he will find ways to pass the ball to the open space or Jinguji Budo. This is not necessarily a good thing for our Sanno!"

"Find a way to get him to shoot, just put some pressure on him when he shoots!"

"Our chance of counterattack depends on him!"

When Goro Domoto made the plan, he focused on Miyagi Ryota, hoping to use Miyagi Ryota as a breakthrough point to find the possibility of Sanno Industries' victory.

Moreover, Domoto’s plan was very cunning. He didn’t ask his players to use the pick-and-roll to create singles opportunities when Sanno was attacking, and seize Miyagi’s defensive breakthrough. Instead, he wanted to take advantage of Miyagi’s instability in shooting and deliberately create opportunities for Miyagi Ryota.

Some strong investment opportunities.

When the Sanno players heard Goro Domoto's plan, they were all stunned. This was the first time they had heard of this kind of play. The defense deliberately let go? Playing like a letdown?!

Other teams were afraid that their players would make some mistakes in defense, but Goro Domoto asked his players to deliberately make some mistakes to give the opponent a chance.

However, the Sanno team members were not fools, and they quickly understood what Goro Domoto meant.

Let Miyagi Ryota, whose shooting is inconsistent, shoot more. On the other hand, wouldn't it weaken Shohoku High School's offense?!

"If our plan is executed smoothly, there will definitely be a lot of rebounding opportunities."

"Kawada Mikio, Matsumoto, you two need to focus more on rebounding."

"When Shohoku is attacking, even if Jinguji Budo doesn't have the chance to hold the ball, they will find ways to pull Kawada and Sawehita out of the inside line, denying them a chance to support the inside line."

"At this time, it's up to you to protect the rebounds!"

"Also, Fukatsu, the same goes for you. You will also have the opportunity to support the inside and help your teammates control rebounds!"

At this point, Domoto Goro's plan was fully revealed. According to Domoto Goro's preset, if his plan works, it will only take 10 rounds of attack and defense at most, and the situation will change dramatically. Within 3 minutes, their mountain kings will have

It is possible to complete the reversal.

"Cheer up, the game is far from over yet!"

"Don't give up hope of victory, we still have a chance."

Thinking of this, Goro Domoto's voice became louder and he shouted to the team members.

"Oh!!!" Although Domoto's plan cannot be said to be very thorough, all the Sanno players felt that Coach Domoto's plan was very feasible.

The team members just deduced it in their minds, and everyone became excited, and the momentum of Sanno Industries became high.

The pause time passes very quickly.

Goro Domoto's side had just laid out the tactics, and the referee had already blown the whistle.

The players from both sides returned to the court and continued the game.

There were no substitutions on the Shohoku side. They were still the same players who appeared in the second half. After entering the field, they quickly settled in the Shohoku half, waiting for Sanno Industrial's attack.

The basketball came from Sanno's backcourt and came into the hands of Kazunari Fukatsu. Kazunari Fukatsu took the ball and slowly drove the ball towards the frontcourt. Before he entered the Shohoku half, other Sanno players passed him and entered Shohoku in advance.

Finished positioning at halftime.

Masashi Kawada and Mikio Kawada were on opposite sides of the paint area under the basket.

Minoru Matsumoto and Eiji Sawabita stood at the corner of the three-point line respectively. After Fukatsu crossed the center line with the ball, he approached the top of the arc.

Kazunari Fukatsu glanced at Jinguji Budo who was guarding Eiji Sawabita in the corner position, then turned his head and looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi and Nango Koichiro who were looking wary inside, and then looked at Matsumoto Minoru who was guarding him.

Katsumi Ichiro.

That's right, Fukatsu Issei almost forgot that the person guarding Matsumoto Minoru was no longer Hisashi Mitsui from Shohoku High School, but a little-known first-year rookie.

All the while, he tried every means to send the ball to the inside and Zebei, but accidentally ignored Matsumoto Minoru.

In fact, Minoru Matsumoto of their Sanno Industrial Co., Ltd. is also an excellent offensive player, but he was beaten into silence by Hisashi Mitsui in the first half, and on Sanno's side, Masashi Kawada, Eiji Sawabita, and Miki Kawada

The three men were so conspicuous that Fukatsu even ignored Matsumoto's presence.

In addition, Matsumoto Minoru himself has a dull character, so that he was still ignored in the second half.

It wasn't until Goro Domoto reminded that Kazunari Fukatsu remembered that there was such a scorer in their team. Minoru Matsumoto is also an excellent player who can hold the ball in singles and can take on the important task of breaking through!

Kazuki Fukatsu suddenly realized. After dribbling continuously with his hips, he pushed the ball with his left hand and suddenly passed the ball to Minoru Matsumoto in the corner on the left.

Matsumoto took the ball, and Katsumi Ichiro quickly moved forward, hoping to put some defensive pressure on the opponent. If Matsumoto had faced his defense before, his first choice would have been to hang to Masashi Kawada on the inside, but this time, Minoru Matsumoto did not.

Choose to pass the ball at the first opportunity.

"My opponents have changed."

"I have forgotten that my opponent has changed."

Minoru Matsumoto's eyes were firm. The moment Katsumi Ichiro came up to defend, he dribbled the ball from his hip, and his right hand changed into a ball protector, directly touching Katsumi Ichiro's body. At the same time, he accelerated the breakthrough with the ball, dropped the ball with his left hand, and rushed towards his left side.

.

"!"

Matsumoto Minoru's sudden breakthrough surprised Katsumi Ichiro, but he did not hesitate in his actions and quickly caught up with Matsumoto. He stretched out his hand to cover Matsumoto Minoru's face.

Just when Matsumoto broke through to the middle distance, his body suddenly stopped, he quickly changed direction and pulled back, then instantly changed the direction to break through. At this time, Katsumi Ichiro, who needed to readjust his defensive position, was directly thrown away.

Watching Matsumoto break through to the inside.

Even without slowing down and changing direction, Minoru Matsumoto's body coordination is also quite strong!

Sakuragi and Nango under the basket did not expect that Minoru Matsumoto, who was like an invisible man on the offensive end, would actually break through with the ball. They had no time to cover up the defense and directly watched Matsumoto layup.

As the basketball hit the net, the Sanno Industrial scoreboard jumped, adding two points.

"Well done! Matsumoto!"

"Well done, Matsumoto-senpai!"

The Sanwang substitutes on the sidelines cheered loudly when they saw the players on the field scoring a goal.

Sakuragi and Nanxiang looked at each other under the basket and invariably blamed each other.

"Bleaching Monkey, are you blind? Didn't you notice the opponent's breakthrough? Why didn't you go up to defend?"

"Ah??? Red-haired monkey, what stupid words are you talking about? Are you not close?"

"Hmph, I have to guard that ape-man, how can I leave the inside so easily!"

"Ah? What are you talking about? If you go and take your place, I will take your place."

"No, you can't beat that ape-man. It will take you a long time!"

The two of them were quarreling with each other. Even after Nango sent the ball, they were still blaming each other when he and Sakuragi went to the frontcourt. When they passed by Katsumi Ichiro, they didn't even look at Katsumi Ichiro, as if this was the case.

It's like it has nothing to do with Katsumi.

Although neither Sakuragi nor Nango blamed Katsumi Ichiro, this indifferent attitude was the most irritating.

Katsumi Ichiro ran towards the frontcourt and stared at Matsumoto Minoru. If eyes could kill, then Matsumoto Minoru would have died countless times at this moment.

"Don't worry, let's play it slow and win the first goal!"

Miyagi Ryota dribbled the ball toward the frontcourt while observing Sanno's defense.

Miyagi noticed that there were two people guarding Jinguji Martial Arts, and Jinguji Martial Arts did not continue to stand there waiting for the ball. Instead, he started running, but for a while, there was no one on Jinguji Martial Arts' side.

Good chance to catch the ball.

Miyagi's eyes moved to Sakuragi. At this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi once again stood in the middle distance and was in an open position. Just when Miyagi was about to pass the ball, he discovered that Fukatsu Kazunari was positioned very inside defensively.

There was a meter and a half gap between the two. When Fukatsu was defending, he kept glancing at Sakuragi not far behind him. His intention to defend was very obvious!

"Mountain King, are you looking down on me?!"

"Me too, I have the ability to score!"

Miyagi Ryota was close to the three-point line, suddenly put the ball together and looked at the basket, paused slightly, and after a slight adjustment, he shot.

At the moment when Miyagi shot, Fukatsu Kazunari rushed forward. Although Fukatsu knew that it was impossible to block the shot with his own bounce, he was still impressive at this time.

When Miyagi Ryota was shooting, he was inevitably affected by the opponent's fierce defensive posture, and the force of his shot was a little off.

"Dang~" Miyagi's three-pointer was interfered by Fukatsu and went straight out of the frame.

"Rebound!" Miyagi whispered and reminded. At this moment, Kazunari Fukatsu had already rushed into the paint. Although he couldn't squeeze into the basket, Fukatsu's arrival still attracted Sakuragi's attention. When he stood up,

Priority is given to Shenjin.

The basketball started to fall. It was very bad luck. The landing point was where Mikio Kawada was. Koichiro Nango could see clearly where the basketball landed, but no matter how he pushed Mikio Kawada, he could not move the opponent.

I could watch as Mikio Kawada collected the ball in his arms.

"Hey hey hey!"

"Success!"

Kawada Mikio threw the ball to Fukatsu with a smile, intending to let Fukatsu organize a counterattack. However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred, and a tall figure suddenly jumped out from Fukatsu Kazunari's side and intercepted it with one hand.

Basketball.

The next second, Fukatsu Kazunari only saw a red figure who dribbled the ball and quickly rose into the air. He grabbed the ball in mid-air and poured the ball into the basket with a loud noise.

Looking up, Fukatsu Kazunari saw that familiar figure:

"Jinguji Martial Arts?!!!"

"Why is he here?!"

At this time, Jinguji Budo grabbed the basket with one hand and his body swayed slightly. After his body stabilized slightly, Budo fell back to the ground. He looked at Kazunari Fukatsu who looked astonished and grinned:

"Why am I here?"

"Of course it's for rebounding!"

During the intermission, I coded words for my brothers. I worked so hard that I was so moved that I cried. Cancel the fake word, cancel the fake word!
