Chapter 336 Okawada: Coach, I don't want to play center forward!
Chapter 336 Coach Ohda, I don’t want to play center!
After the initial trial period, the two sides were at odds with each other, with neither one convinced of the other.
For a time, the scores showed a staggered trend.
Xiangyang focuses on offense and neglects defense, so its energy is inevitably concentrated on the offensive end, and it is impossible to guard against the Mountain King.
It was also difficult for Sanno to limit the performance of the Shoyang team. Under Fujima's organization and dispatch, he was always able to pass the ball to teammates who ran out of position as soon as possible, assisting his teammates to score.
Under Fujima's organization and coordination, the Shoyo team seemed to be integrated into a whole, taking the run-and-gun tactics to the extreme and always getting easy scoring opportunities.
In addition, when Shoyo attacks, Sanno always has a player left behind, and the one with the highest frequency is Nobe Masahiro.
Compared with Hanagata, Nobe Masahiro is not only slower, but he often goes deep into the basket to compete for offensive rebounds.
As long as Shoyo serves the ball quickly, Hiroyuki Nobe will not have time to defend, and Shoyo will break the ball quickly.
Hua Hua Hua~
The audience is still enthusiastically supporting their respective teams.
Sanno Industrial's foundation and historical achievements far exceed those of Xiangyang, so it stands to reason that it should have more supporters.
However, in fact, Xiangyang has more supporters.
The reason is very simple. This is Fukuoka Prefecture, a territory affiliated with Hakata Commerce University.
Hakata and Sanno are the only two "rich families" in universities. They can be said to be typical representatives of falling in love and killing each other. The "love and hatred" between them can be imagined.
Although Hakata was eliminated by Reinan and Shoyo was also from Kanagawa Prefecture, in the eyes of these viewers, Shoyo was always more pleasing to the eye than Sanno.
Therefore, many of those supporters of Hakata support Xiangyang, and at worst they are neutral.
In addition, it is also closely related to Xiangyang's beautiful performance.
The run-and-gun tactics and mercury-like offense undoubtedly attracted the attention of the audience, which also added a large number of fans to Xiangyang.
By the way, there is also Fujima's good looks. Many female viewers come here specifically for this. Fujima's looks seem to be very popular among mom fans, so the ratio of older sisters to aunts is relatively high.
These mother fans have not been organized yet, otherwise they might become a 'Fuji Shinmei' like the future 'Rukawa Mikoto'.
Soon, coach Domoto called a timeout and he was going to replace Masahiro Nobe.
"Kawada, you will be the center forward after a while!"
Masashi Kawada opened his mouth and pointed at himself in disbelief.
"Coach, please let me go, I'm not suitable to be a center forward!"
Masashi Kawada had a look of despair on his face. At this moment, the two sentences he often said automatically appeared in his mind.
What a great power forward!
Only fools play center forward!
"Kawada, you disappoint me so much!"
Coach Domoto stared at Okawada closely, with a majestic expression on his face.
Under the domineering power of coach Domoto, Okawada was unable to struggle and could only submit obediently.
"Okay, let me try."
Okawada made a feeble sound, accompanied by the laughter of his teammates.
Masahiro Nobe, who was originally substituted, was a little unhappy, but now he has regained his composure and is the happiest person smiling.
He doesn't want to play center at all, because at this position, whenever he encounters a strong team, he often only has the possibility of being abused.
If you encounter a fish, it will be even more fatal.
Of course, he has no intention of playing as a substitute, so the best way is to swap positions with Okawada and let him play power forward.
What Okada didn't know was that in order not to play center, Nobe Masahiro was secretly losing weight, resulting in his weight being lower than at the same time in the original work.
It must be said that opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared!
It was precisely because he felt that Nobe Masahiro was thinner, and coupled with Uozumi's 'suggestion', coach Domoto also felt that Ohda was more suitable as a center than Nobe Masahiro.
Soon, the game started again.
In addition to Masahiro Nobe, Minoru Matsumoto was also substituted.
Replacing Masahiro Nobe is third-year player Yuyasu Kuraki, who is 189 centimeters and 84 kilograms, but is a top blue-collar player who specializes in defense and rebounding.
The person who replaced Minoru Matsumoto was, of course, Satoshi Ichinokura.
Minoru Matsumoto lowered his head, put a towel on his head, remained silent, and looked gloomy.
Ichinokura Satoshi is said to be immortal and is the defensive leader of Sanno Industries.
However, he also has a serious flaw, which is his short height. Even in the plot year, he is only 171 centimeters.
Satoshi Ichinokura's opponent was Retsu Minami who performed well.
After the game restarted, Ichinokura Satoshi began to struggle with Nanlie.
"This guy is sick, why are you pestering me on the offensive end?"
Nanlie was very depressed, and Ichinokura Satoshi almost hugged him, making him feel like he was in charge.
Ichinokura Satoshi didn't say anything and was still pestering Nanlie.
Under the entanglement of Ichinokura Satoshi, Nanlie's mentality was more or less affected.
Soon, Zebei once again singled Hasegawa to score.
"Damn it! Why is this guy so strong?"
Hasegawa seemed very unwilling. As the defensive leader of the Shoyo team, even if he tried his best, he still could not change the fate of being beaten by Zebei. There was nothing he could do, especially as Zebei was still a first-year player.
Looking at Zebei's back, Hasegawa vaguely felt that the other party had not become serious yet, which was very discouraging.
As Sanno changed his lineup, the situation on the field began to be favorable to Sanno.
With Okawada serving as the center, Sanno's defensive intensity in the penalty area has significantly increased, causing Xiangyang to increase the frequency of shooting from the outside.
By the end of the first half, Sanwang had a 5-point advantage.
"Xiangyang is in danger!"
In the auditorium, Yuzhu couldn't help but shook his head.
Xiangyang didn't seem to be at a big disadvantage, but their main force played the entire first half.
As for Sanno, they rotated their players during this period, and the substitute lineup led by Minoru Matsumoto and Masahiro Nobe played for more than five minutes.
This is to deal with Xiangyang who focuses on offense but not defense. If it is Lingnan and Hakata, Sanno will probably not take the risk of using a rotation lineup.
As a result, the physical strength of Sanwang's main force is obviously more abundant, and the situation is very unfavorable for Xiangyang.
At the beginning of the second half, Xiangyang could still maintain the score, but then the situation took a turn for the worse.
Due to excessive physical loss, the offensive efficiency of Xiangyang players began to decline.
It was also at this time that Sanno Industrial adopted defensive pressing tactics.
Unlike the Hainan team in the original book, the Xiangyang team with F4 is stronger, and Fujima is better at organizing than Amu, so the defensive pressing tactics are not very effective against the Xiangyang team.
Even so, Xiangyang was still at a disadvantage.
In five minutes, Sanwang instantly expanded the point difference to double digits.
In the following time, the Xiangyang team began to catch up, but in the face of the steady Sanno Industries, they fell short in the end.
It had only been two months since Coach Kitano's run-and-gun tactics were introduced to the Shoyang team. Nanretsu and Kishimoto had not yet fully integrated into the Shoyang system, which was also the biggest factor leading to Shoyang's defeat.
Of course, the offensive efficiency of Zebei and Ohda is also an important reason.
Chapter completed!
