Chapter 40 Lingnan’s tactics
He subconsciously came up with this idea, and while pushing his body up with all his strength, his right hand had already directly pulled the corner of Lin Dong's jersey in a hidden corner.
But even though his fingers were clamped, he still couldn't firmly grasp the other party's clothes.
The opponent is not only fast, but also possesses extremely strong impact and explosive power. The jersey that has been clearly caught by him seems to be driven by a very strong force and is forcibly pulled away from his fingers. It was the friction that caused his fingers to hurt when the jersey was pulled away!
Unexpectedly, I didn't grasp it properly... Is this guy a monster? !
Chishang cursed inwardly.
Shigeichi Taoka on the sidelines felt nervous. Consuming Lin Dong's physical strength was the top priority in the first half. If he took it too easy, it would not achieve the purpose of consuming Lin Dong.
Fortunately, Sendō, who was also on the left, immediately came up to defend, which allowed Shigeichi Taoka to put his heart back a little.
The super explosive force that rushed out at that moment made it obvious that Lin Dong had no time to change direction.
The appearance of Immortal Dao is simply perfect!
But the next second, Lin Dongren made a point, and his body continued to rush towards Sendao. With a turn of his left hand, he made a dazzling behind-the-back pass, and the basketball was handed over to the unguarded hands of Taku Ito.
Basketball is always a sport for five people, and playing alone is never the best choice.
We have been teammates for more than two months, and we already have a certain tacit understanding with Ito.
Taku Ito, who received the ball in a wide open space, did not hesitate or force a three-pointer. He jumped from mid-range and threw the ball steadily.
Unfortunately……
Guang!
The touch didn't seem to be very good when he first entered the court, and he was always nervous and pressured to face Xiandao, so the ball hit the frame.
"Rebound!"
Shigeichi Tagoka, who was sitting on the sidelines, yelled. Hanagata guarding the basket was about to jump, but Uozumi, who was standing next to him, had already used his body to squeeze out of position, pushing Hanagata half a step away and jumping up first. He held the basketball firmly in his hand.
"Kanagawa's number one center, you are still far away!" Jun Uozumi yelled and threw the basketball towards the half court.
"Long live Uozumi-senpai!"
"Wow wow wow, that No. 4 is too big, it's like King Kong!"
"Xiangyang's center is not good..."
"That's it!" Shigeichi Taoka on the sidelines clenched his fist excitedly.
The so-called flexible center seems to be a big joke to Shigeichi Tianoka.
When facing an ordinary weak team, such a center can certainly get whatever he wants. After all, Toru Hanagata does have an offensive ability that neither Uozumi nor Akagi can match.
But facing a strong team, facing a real tower-like traditional center inside, Hanaxing's soft style of play will completely lose its effect.
The basket is the center's position, a collision of forces, and the most wild contest!
Defense, rebounds! That's what a center should really do.
Lingnan always has a chance to attack again, but Xiangyang doesn't!
What is a center who can't protect the rim but a vulnerability?
The so-called star players may seem to have gorgeous skills, but they are exactly the second fatal flaw of Xiangyang's three major flaws: the ability to protect the basket at the basket!
…………
In fact, when Ito took the shot, Yoshio Fukuda was already running back.
Defense? He wasn't good at it, but attacking was something he was thinking about all the time.
With a long tune by Uozumi, facing the empty half in front, Yoshio Fukuda made a beautiful slam dunk, igniting the enthusiasm of the audience in support of Lingnan.
Lingnan scored another 2 points and led 6:3!
"Futian! Futian! Futian!"
"Lingnan feels like he's gaining momentum!"
"So what about Xiangyang? He's still being held down and beaten!"
"Lingnan is so strong this year!"
The stadium scene became noisy.
At this time, even ordinary basketball novices can tell that the momentum of the Lingnan team is superior to that of Xiangyang.
Many people began to subconsciously look at Fujima sitting on the bench.
Xiangyang's momentum has been suppressed by Lingnan, why doesn't Fujima come out yet?
But Teng Zhen sat firmly, without even the slightest expression of surprise on his face.
The flower-shaped frame-protecting ability will become Yuzhu's key attack direction.
This is the third point that Lin Dongjun made!
A result that has been predicted long ago, what is there to be surprised and surprised about? It won't affect your mind at all.
Fujima didn't even pay attention to Hanagata and Uozumi on the field, but couldn't help but look at the newcomer from the Dragon Kingdom who smiled and patted Ito Taku on the shoulder to express comfort.
...The terrifying analytical ability is simply breathtakingly accurate.
He just watched Lingnan's game in the arena on the day of the quarterfinals!
The more you come into contact with this guy, the more unfathomable he feels. Every time you get closer to him, you feel farther and farther away from him.
Is there anything else this guy can't do?
Xiangyang, who was lagging behind, was obviously not as panicked as others imagined.
Still playing at a steady pace, Lin Dong dribbled the ball into the paint, attracting a double-team from Yuzhu, and then assisted a flower shape under the basket that fell back and regained two points.
Lingnan also changed the color immediately.
In the fast break organized by Xiandao, Lin Dong also scored the ball as soon as he came up on defense, helping Cross Country score Lingnan's first 3-pointer of the game.
Then the two sides started a mutual explosion mode. Lin Dong relied on his personal ability to score twice on Chi Shang. At the same time, he also caused a defensive foul on Yuzhu, scoring 5 points on 4+1.
Although everyone could see that Lingnan was deliberately "leaving" Lin Dong open at this time, he still chose to pass the ball after attracting two or three double-teams more often.
And with his basketball vision and active involvement ability, Xiangyang really doesn't have too many open opportunities.
Ito Taku scored two three-pointers, Hanagata Toru scored directly under the basket twice, and even Hasegawa got a wide open shot and scored a three-pointer that he was not good at.
However, on the defensive end, Xiangyang doesn't seem to have a good way to deal with Lingnan.
Although Xiandao is the organizing point guard, he spends most of the time using off-ball running to contain Lin Dong and move him out of Xiangyang's defensive center.
This is a point that Lingnan absolutely dare not let go of. Even if Xiandao gives up the attack, he must pull Lin Dong away. Otherwise, with Lin Dong's ability to zero-block Rukawa Kaede, Lingnan's attack will definitely be greatly hindered.
It does seem to be quite effective.
Without Lin Dong's inside defense, Xiangyang's three senior men could not keep up with Lingnan's pace.
Yoshihao Fukuda's ability to attack the frame, Jun Uozumi's rebounding and assistance, and the mid-range threat both in cross-country and Ikegami, coupled with Sendō's wonderful pass and Lingnan's overall fast-break style.
The many flourishes on the offensive end and the constant movement without the ball not only avoided Xiangyang's height advantage, but also made the defense of the three tall men fall into exhaustion.
The three elders soon began to breathe heavily.
Shigeichi Taoka's legs, which had been shaking on the sidelines, finally settled down at this moment, with an expression of relief on his face.
"Xiangyang's third major flaw is physical strength!"
This war of attrition is not just targeting Lin Dong alone.
After all, it is a team that lacks a real coach. The new Xiangyang team that Fujima single-handedly put together has the advantage of being strong in positional warfare, but it also has a fatal flaw, which is that it is too fast. slow.
As for Lingnan, who has the hardest training in the county.
Running, physical fitness, and fast breaks are what Lingnan is best at!
If a big man wants to keep up with a small man in a fast break, he must consume more energy.
Just the tug of space would exhaust them to death!
Taoka Shigeru glanced at Fujima, who was sitting firmly on the bench with no intention of playing, and the big stone in his heart was finally relieved.
It feels stable.
Although Xiangyang relied on No. 13 Lin Dong's offense to maintain the score and even led Lingnan by two points, this was exactly the result Lingnan wanted.
As long as the score is still close, or even Xiangyang still maintains a slight lead, Fujima will not come off immediately, and Lingnan's attrition tactics can continue to be implemented.
After all, he is just a layman coach. No matter how good Fujima is, he can only see the balance of the current situation on the court and the closeness of the points difference between each other, but cannot see that Xiangyang has huge physical risks.
As long as Lingnan continues to drag out the second quarter like this, and Xiandao, who is almost full of energy, starts to attack in the second half, the huge psychological pressure and gap will become the last straw that breaks Xiangyang's physical fitness.
The fatigue of Xiangyang players will increase exponentially. Even if Lin Dong can still rely on Lin Dong to hold on to the score, Xiangyang's overall physical strength will be completely unable to keep up with the rhythm of the attack.
After all, basketball is a sport for five people. If Xiangyang is forced to replace Hanagata, Takano and other main players, or if they are unable to run on the court at all, even Lin Dong will only have 20 to 30% of his physical strength left...
No matter how powerful Lin Dong and Teng Zhen are, they will enter the moment when Lingnan will completely harvest the game.
By the time Fujima discovered the problem and tried to come to the rescue, it was already too late.
This is the reason why he repeatedly told Xiandao not to let go of the offense in the first half, otherwise Lingnan's offensive power would be far more than that.
Definitely win!
Taoka Shigeichi tightened his fists.
