Is this still Shohoku? Has Coach Anzai finally begun to coach the team seriously? Coach Taoka was stunned when he saw the situation on the court. This Shohoku team is completely different from the one Lingnan met last year.

Not only because the team has added three powerful players in Mitsui Hisashi, Miyagi Ryota and Rukawa Kaede, but more importantly, Shohoku has gradually moved away from playing alone, and the tactical system has taken shape.

Rukawa Kaede pulled Sendō away, Miyagi broke through and passed to Akagi, forming a one-on-one situation under the basket. Ikegami came over and tried to double-team, Akagi quickly transferred the ball to the free Mitsui, Uekusa rushed over to cover the defense, Mitsui Transferring again, Mu Mu scored a mid-range shot, and all five members of Shohoku's attack played a role. This was much scarier than Rukawa Kaede and Akagi's singles.

Throughout the entire comic, Coach Anzai can be said to have the best ability among the coaches who appeared. However, because Coach Anzai has been guilty of Tanizawa for a long time, he did not seriously direct Shohoku until Shohoku entered. It was only during the joint finals that I was moved by the children in Xiangbei and gradually became serious about it.

And now, from the beginning, Shen Long has been using Ma Bo's guidance and Coach Anxi's own memory to make up for the shortcomings of the Xiangbei players, formulating appropriate tactical strategies for them, allowing them to use tactics to open up space and gain relatively easy access. Lingnan would certainly have a hard time dealing with the opportunity to take action.

Lingnan's players are pretty good, but without Futian, they lose an offensive point with the ball. Cross-country, Zhicao, and Ikegami are all players who are better at defense than offense. They and Uozumi on the inside formed a relatively complete defensive formation. In terms of defense alone, they can be said to be top-notch in Kanagawa Prefecture and will never lose to Hainan.

However, their offense was not very powerful. They could only rely on Sendō and Uozumi. Uozumi was restrained by Akagi, and Sendō was double-teamed by Rukawa Kaede and Mitsui Hisashi. After only ten minutes of fighting, Sendō was already out of breath. .

"Sakuragi, later you will go on the field to guard the basket instead of Akagi. Remember, you can control the whole court if you master the rebounds. If you get the rebounds, pass them to Miyagi or Mitsui immediately so that they can attack." Shen Long was about to send Sakuragi. Flower arrangement comes on stage.

This substitution not only replaced Akagi, but also Rukawa Kaede, and asked Yasuda to replace him. Lingnan's defensive system focuses more on the basket, and there is still space on the outside. There is no chance of sending Yasuda, but in this case the defense will be weak. It's a bit more difficult, but this is a practice match, the outcome is not important, training the team is the most important thing.

"Yasuda, don't hesitate when you encounter an opportunity, act decisively and believe in your ability." Shen Long patted Yasuda on the shoulder and encouraged him. If you want to win the national championship, you can't just rely on five starters.

"yes!"

"Don't worry, Dad, this genius will definitely defeat the Great Ape King!" Sakuragi Hanamichi still hasn't changed his habit of giving people nicknames.

"Coach." Sakuragi and Yasuda came on the stage. Akagi and Rukawa Kaede, who were replaced, were a little confused. In their basketball careers, they had never been replaced except for injuries or lack of physical strength.

"Akagi, let Uozumi test Sakuragi Hanamichi's learning results during this period!" Shen Long asked them to sit down, "Rukawa Kaede, pay attention to how Sendō plays. His role on the court is similar to yours. What's the difference? Which of these two modes is more helpful to the team?"

Sendō can be said to be Rukawa Kaede's best teacher. It was Sendō's performance in the final game of the league finals that made Rukawa Kaede realize the importance of passing the ball, and he woke up after his failure in a one-on-one with Eiji Sawabita.

"In future games, I will often mobilize players, and you must prepare in advance." Throughout the comic, almost all teams have five main players playing from beginning to end, which is very different from a real basketball game. .

Shen Long thought for a while, and there may be two reasons. First, there were not so many outstanding players in the high school competition, so only five main players could resist; second, Inoue was lazy, after all, it would cost more to draw one more character. Less effort.

"There is a game almost every day in the national competition, which is a severe test for the players' physical strength, so there must be substitutes to help you share the pressure and reduce physical exertion. From now on, we will prepare for the national competition." According to Shen Takashi's plan is that before the joint finals, except for Sakuragi Hanamichi, the rest of the players will not play the entire game.

Sakuragi Hanamichi came on the stage. After a brief period of nervousness, his abilities fully exploded. Although he made little contribution on the offensive end, although it was difficult for him to stop Uozumi's attack, he did a good job in rebounding. Most of the rebounds fell into his hands.

In the original animation, Hanamichi Sakuragi joined the basketball team on April 17, and started practicing rebounding the day before the game against Ryonan on May 1. In the prefectural competition qualifier against Tsukutake at the end of May, he grabbed 22 rebounds and tied the prefectural competition. Record, this is such an awesome talent. Now that Sakuragi practices rebounding earlier, it is not surprising at all to be able to grab rebounds from Uozumi.

"The rebound is mine!" Sakuragi roared, leaping high, grabbing the ball Uegusa missed, and quickly passed it to Miyagi after standing firm. Miyagi quickly advanced the fast break and met Sendou's shot under the basket. Blocked the pass from behind and passed it to Mitsui, who hit a three-pointer.

This is another Shohoku tactic - a fast break three-point tactic. Even if they stop Mitsui, Mitsui can still transfer the ball to Kigure or Yasuda to get shooting opportunities.

However, due to the lack of internal support and Sakuragi Hanamichi making no contribution on the offensive end, Lingnan still took the lead at the end of the first half.

Shen Long was not in a hurry. In the second half, he changed the players again, letting Mumu and Miyagi take a break, and replaced them with Akagi and Rukawa Kaede. Two more offensive players were added, and Shohoku's scoring efficiency was greatly increased.

On the defensive end, Hisashi Mitsui and Kaede Rukawa received instructions from Shen Long to focus on Sendō's passing and shooting, allowing him to break through to the inside and let Akagi and Sakuragi deal with them. Without Fukuda's firepower, Sendō could only carry it alone. Lingnan's offense went inside again and again, consuming a lot of energy and his hit rate gradually dropped.

In the second half of the game, Hanamichi Sakuragi received five fouls on Sendō and Uozumi and was sent off. Emperor Tsunoda entered the battle, and Kigure came on again to replace Mitsui. Now the score is relatively wide, and Yasuda controls the ball to slow down the attack. Due to the rhythm, when the game time ended, Lingnan still lost by four points.

"Thank you for your advice." Team members from both sides bowed in thanks.

"We lost this time, let's compete again in the prefectural competition!" Shohoku's strength surprised Shigeichi Taoka, and he had to call Fukuda back to the team as soon as possible.
