Chapter 426 Quadruple pairs?
Although Sakuragi's header made people laugh, it is undeniable that he finally scored two points this time, which more or less alleviated the disadvantage of the Shohoku team.
However, even with the eggs, the fish haven't exerted much force yet.
The game is still going on. In order to chase points, Mitsui and Rukawa Kaede broke out with amazing scoring explosive power, leading Shohoku to score points wildly.
At the beginning, the Xiangbei team did narrow the point difference to single digits.
Unfortunately, Lingnan quickly retaliated, and Yuzhu did not continue to save energy and began to exert strength on the offensive end.
Under the leadership of Uozumi, the Shohoku team not only failed to further narrow the point difference, but was once again opened up by Lingnan to a double-digit point difference.
Uozumi finally activated the King of the Third Quarter badge, even if it was just a silver badge, it still effectively improved his scoring efficiency.
Under this circumstance, ten minutes passed quickly in the second half, and the situation became increasingly unfavorable for Shobei.
The Shohoku players became more and more impatient, so during an attack, Rukawa Kaede tried to get a layup by two people, but was blocked and gave him a nail-biting shot.
Pa~
This is also Yuzhu's ninth block in this game. With his points, rebounds and assists all in double figures, he can get a quadruple-double as long as he contributes one more block.
"Everyone, there is not much time left for us. If we want to win, we must narrow the point difference as soon as possible."
There is no doubt that the Shohoku team meets the basic conditions for this tactic. They have the best three-point backcourt in the entire high school league.
Whether it is physical reserves or physical distribution, Mitsui is above Rukawa Kaede who is in junior high school.
Suddenly, Ikegami rushed from the side. The moment Sakuragi grabbed the rebound, he cut the basketball with quick eyesight and quick hands.
In this era where the inside is king, three-point tactics are very rare. This is a gamble as well as an experiment.
Mitsui naturally understood this. In order to get rid of the defense, Akagi and Sakuragi gave him a double pick-and-roll.
By the time Naito went around, Mitsui had already thrown the basketball in his hand.
In an instant, Sakuragi's right hand was in the shape of a tomahawk, and he smashed the ball toward the basket.
As a result, Uozumi began to focus more on offense.
In this aspect, even Lingnan, Shanwang, and Xiangyang are inferior.
Sakuragi didn't stop and stepped into the penalty area aggressively, taking the initiative to face Naito.
As the score difference narrowed to single digits, the Xiangbei team became more confident that they had a chance to win.
Yuzhu gave a timely reminder.
Seeing Mitsui's smile, Naito's heart skipped a beat and he quickly turned to look at the basketball still flying in the air.
However, not long after, Lingnan quickly opened the point difference to double digits again, but Uozumi once again exerted his strength and succeeded in singles against Akagi.
In this case, coach Anxi had to choose to take risks.
The moment he stepped onto the free throw line, Sakuragi jumped up in alarm.
Xiangbei's three-point shooting is not weak, but Lingnan's two insiders have top-level assisting defense capabilities and can help them prevent and fill in any gaps.
Obviously, Coach Anxi probably wants to implement a three-point shooting tactic.
Naito fought hard to catch up, and finally caught up when Sakuragi caught the ball and guarded the basket.
Huh~
The basketball was hollowed into the basket, creating a cloud of net flowers.
In the last ten minutes, he chose to go all-out and all-out. Judging from his physical strength, it was enough to squander it.
After grabbing the rebound, Rukawa Kaede quickly passed the ball to Mitsui to organize the attack.
As soon as he landed on the ground, Rukawa Kaede quickly reminded his teammates loudly.
This three-pointer successfully narrowed the point difference to nine points.
However, Uozumi's assisting defense was unexpectedly fast, interrupting Rukawa Kaede's shooting rhythm.
At this time, Mitsui discovered the opportunity for a fast break and immediately threw the ball forward.
In the last ten minutes of the game, Uozumi's King of the Fourth Quarter badge was activated.
The Shohoku players also took action, doing everything possible to provide cover for outside players.
This is the shocking power of four pairs!
During the timeout, coach Anzai looked at the panting Rukawa Kaede, and then his eyes fell on Mitsui.
After the game restarted, seeing the changes in the Shohoku team's lineup, Uozumi immediately guessed Coach Anzai's tactical intentions.
Sendō hurriedly passed the ball to Ikegami, who took two steps forward and then passed it to Nanxiang who was about to leave.
Mitsui is recognized as the best three-point shooter in the country. Mugure and Rukawa Kaede are also good at three-pointers, at least they are second level.
It turned out that Sakuragi had already descended and quickly rushed through the middle circle.
At this time, there was no one in front of Nanxiang and he immediately rushed towards the basket.
The teammates did not take it lightly and were prepared for three-pointers.
"bring it on!"
Under Yuzhu's command, Lingnan's outside players followed their respective opponents one after another.
The moment he took action, Mitsui smiled and clenched his right hand, full of confidence.
Hua Hua Hua ~
This also made the audience more excited and cheered for Yuzhu.
"Rush forward, everyone stick to them!"
They sincerely hope that Yuzhu can score a quadruple-double so that they can enjoy themselves even more.
As long as Uozumi and Naito are inside, it doesn't matter even if Shohoku players break through.
"Oops, rebound!"
Mitsui hurriedly blocked it, hoping to delay Sendao's attack.
In terms of scoring, Mitsui is not inferior to Rukawa Kaede in any way, but he obviously still has enough energy left to play the whole game.
When Xiangbei came to the frontcourt, Lingnan players clearly closed the distance between the opposing players.
"Everyone must be careful with their three-pointers! If nothing else happens, Xiangbei will probably implement a three-pointer tactic."
Just when Nanxiang was about to take off for a layup, suddenly, a figure appeared behind him. It was Rukawa Kaede with a nail-board shot.
On the Shohoku bench, coach Anxi couldn't help but raise his frame and resolutely requested a timeout.
Due to the run-up, Sakuragi jumped very high, which made Naito's defensive effect not very good.
Of course, he didn't neglect defense either.
"Slam dunk with all your strength..."
"careful!"
Compared with the King of the Third Quarter, the King of the Fourth Quarter is a golden badge, so the effect is naturally better.
Xiandao grabbed the basketball and immediately started a fast break.
Bang~
The basketball hit the edge of the basket. Since Uozumi ran out to help guard Rukawa Kaede, Naito was unable to fight with both fists and saw that the rebound was about to be grabbed by Sakuragi.
The basketball barely jumped over Yuzhu's fingertips and flew towards the basket.
Naito also jumped up, stretching his hands to intercept.
For this reason, he also substituted Kimetsu nobu on the court, with Mitsui as the point guard.
He did not choose to break through, but used the bodies of the two to cover his body and jumped straight up.
Soon, an opportunity appeared for Rukawa Kaede.
He knew very well that once Yuzhu scored a quadruple-double, judging from the point difference between the two teams, the Shohoku team would never have a chance again.
Unfortunately, Sakuragi's arm seemed to be a little short, and the basketball was not smashed into the basket. Instead, it hit the front edge of the basket, and seemed to continue to hit Naito's big bald head.
Seeing the famous scene where Sakuragi beats Naito was about to happen, at the critical moment, an arm suddenly stretched out from the side and sent the basketball flying in time. It was Uozumi.
The moment he landed, Uozumi quickly looked at the referee.
Not only Uozumi, but also all the players and even the audience turned their attention to the referee.
Chapter completed!
