Chapter 196 Kanagawa Transformation

With 2 minutes left before the first half, Coach Domoto called a timeout.

When the timeout ended, the Akita team's lineup changed, and Ito Yu replaced Sakurai Kentaro, who had not made much achievements.

Compared with Sakurai Kentaro, Ito Yu's confrontation ability is undoubtedly much inferior.

However, Yuzuo Ito is a relatively comprehensive power forward with good shooting skills, and Uozumi will inevitably need to change his defensive strategy.

As long as Yuzu Ito pulls away the fish, the Akita team can attack the basket more.

Sure enough, Yuzumi had to leave the restricted area, he couldn't let Ito Yuu go, otherwise he might be cast to death.

In this round, Fukatsu made a pass to Minoru Matsumoto who cut into the penalty area, and the latter scored an easy layup.

Compared with the Akita team, the tacit understanding of the Kanagawa players is inevitably much inferior, and some loopholes are prone to appear.

Soon, the Kanagawa team launched an attack, and finally Mitsui made a three-pointer.

Uozumi easily stuck Ito Yuki and grabbed the offensive rebound.

It's just that without waiting for Yuzhu to make up the basket, Ito Yuo directly gave Yuzhu a princess hug, holding Yuzhu with both hands, and his feet were outrageously entangled with Yuzhu's thighs.

If you don't entangle Yuzhu's thigh, Ito Yuki thinks that Uozumi may still be strong. After all, Yuzumi has been hugged and forced to slam dunk more than once.

However, Yuzhu reacted very quickly and immediately threw the ball to the basket in an unconventional way.

beep~
At the same time Uozumi threw the basketball, the referee's whistle sounded.

bang~bang~shua~
Fish was lucky, the basketball bounced off the rim twice before falling straight into the net.

Similarly, this is also related to Yuzhu's relatively high short-range shooting ability.

At the free throw line, Yuzhu threw the basketball with a stiff wrist.

sigh~
The basketball fell straight into the net, and 2+1 was achieved.

Waiting for the next Kanagawa offensive round, Uozumi was hugged again by Yuzuo Ito. This time, Yuzumi Ito was smart and hugged Yuzumi's arm with both hands, not giving him a chance to shoot.

"Coach Domoto doesn't want to use fish-cutting tactics, does he?"

Uozumi stood on the free throw line again, took a deep breath, and tried to relieve the tension in his heart.

As long as he is not nervous, his free throw percentage can reach [-]%, and if he is lucky, [-]% to [-]% is possible.

bang~
The first ball was missed.

sigh~
On the second ball, the basketball spun around the rim and eventually fell into the net.

At this time, Ito Yuo looked at Coach Domoto, who nodded to him, and at the same time patted his right arm hard with his left hand.

Ito Xiong understood what the coach meant, which was to let him continue while hitting Yuzhu's sore right hand, and was going to use physical methods to reduce his free throw percentage.

Sure enough, in the next round, when Uozumi received the basketball, Yuzuo Ito hit his wrist hard on purpose, and then raised his hand to signal a foul.

pop~
There was a crisp slap sound, and one could imagine the strength of this slap.

Yuzhu glanced at his right hand, and saw a red palm print on his forearm, and felt a pain.

"It's really well prepared!"

Yuzhu's heart sank, he didn't expect Coach Domoto to use such an unconventional trick.

Coach Domoto is also helpless, he can only use this method, he can't use intentionally hurtful methods to get Yuzu off.

The beating incident in the national competition is still vivid in his mind. He doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes. Even if he wins the competition, he will be out of position and will leave a bad impression on the Autumn National Sports Organizing Committee.

bang~ bang~
Yuzhu was more or less affected, and his free throws were not very good, which eventually led to two free throws and the rebound was also taken by the opponent.

The Akita team immediately launched a fast break, because there were less than five seconds left before the end of the first half.

"Defense!"

Under the leadership of Yuzhu, everyone followed their opponents closely.

Kashima Fengshuang still carried out the final attack. After receiving the basketball, he forcibly threw a long two-pointer against Taro Aso.

bang~
Unfortunately, his shot did not make a free throw.

It was also at this time that the first half finally came to an end.

42:42
After the first half, the two sides drew a tie.

However, both sides still have their holes in the cards.

Kanagawa's Uozumi didn't make much effort on the offensive end, which can be seen from the fact that he only scored less than 20 points in the first half.

Well, for Yuzhu, scoring less than 20 points in the half is a sign of staying strong.

On the other hand, the Akita team did not resort to their best full-court pressing tactics.

Of course, it's hard to say whether it will be effective, after all, Kanagawa's lineup is not inferior.

Akita bench!
"Ito did a good job just now. After playing again in a while, players with fewer fouls can continue."

Coach Domoto first praised Ito Yu, then looked at Matsumoto Minoru, and said: "Matsumoto, you are not in a good state today. If you are not sure about shooting, then focus on the inside. I believe you have this ability."

In the first half, Minoru Matsumoto shot less than 40 percent from the field, which didn't match his usual performance.

"Coach, I think Ikegami's defense is better than Ichinokura Satoshi!"

Minoru Matsumoto was very helpless, and Chi Shang was like a brown candy, following him everywhere, and he couldn't even shake him off.

However, this is not the main reason for his poor state. At this time, the scene where Uozu almost hit him still appears in his mind from time to time.

At that time, he made a lot of determination, but he still had lingering fears, and he didn't recover so quickly.

However, Minoru Matsumoto complied.

Coach Domoto turned to Kashima Fengshuang and said, "Kashima, strengthen your personal offense in the second half."

"Don't worry, everything is on me!"

Kashima Fengshuang patted his chest hard. In the first half, he did not use his full strength.

At this time, Coach Domoto's eyes fell on Kentaro Sakurai.

At this moment, Kentaro Sakurai had a towel covering his head, and when he pulled it up, he looked very low.

Anyone who is hit again and again by Yuzhu will not be in a good mood.

Most importantly, his face was swollen from the beating.

Before the start of the game, Sakurai Kentaro was full of confidence, thinking that he could defeat Uozumi, and even shouted in the bathroom to suppress Uozumi to 30 points.

As a result, how arrogant he was before the game, he is ashamed now, and now he is ashamed to see others, so he has to cover it with a towel.

"Sakurai, I will arrange for you to play when I have a chance, but before that, you must regain your confidence as soon as possible. I have confidence in you."

Coach Domoto said so, but he was still not very optimistic about Kentaro Sakurai.

Kanagawa bench!

"Next, let's change the lineup!"

Coach Tian Gang had already prepared a draft, and under the eyes of the players, he began to announce the lineup.

Not long after, the intermission ended and players from both sides played again.

It's just that when they saw Kanagawa's lineup, many people present were taken aback.
