NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

From the very beginning of the match between Hainan and Ryonan, Ryonan gave Hainan a surprise.

First, the little-known No. 13 power forward Yoshitaka Fukuda was used as the starting player, replacing Ryumasa Oda, who had performed well in the Buri match.

This new player No. 13 of Ryonan caught Hainan off guard with his strong inside offensive ability and strong desire to attack.

The second is to let Sendoh start as the point guard and serve as the court commander to fight against Amu.

In the words of journalist Yayoi Aida:

"Sendoh has a broad vision, a talent for creating offense, and an instinct for passing the ball."

Except for Sendoh, everyone else on the Ryonan team played very easily on the court, especially Yuzhu and Fukuda, who turned Hainan's inside line upside down.

Just 11 minutes into the first half, Ryonan was already leading Hainan by 12 points.

The audience was quite surprised for a moment, but with the experience of Xiangbei defeating Hainan, they were mentally prepared for Ryonan's strength. Besides, Hainan had not lost yet.

"I didn't expect Ryonan to be so strong. I heard they even beat Shohoku in a practice match!"

"Ah? Then Hainan is in danger! Are they going to lose?"

……

Finally, during the timeout, Kazuo Kamiya accidentally pointed out the weakness of Yoshitaka Fukuda, who had played basketball for several years but had poor defensive habits:

"If Ryonan's Oda Ryumasa's attack and defense are both 7, then Fukuda's attack and defense are 9 and 3!"

Therefore, Hainan's "wise man" Gao Tou took advantage of this point and attacked Fukuda Yoshitaka relentlessly. Hainan also gradually caught up with Ryonan from 12 points behind in the first half, and finally tied the score at the end of the first half.

But the balance of victory did not tilt towards Hainan. Throughout the first half, Yuzumi remained very calm whether facing Amu's layup in the penalty area or Takasago Kazuma's tempting foul.

This is not only because Yuzhu has unloaded the burden and transformed from an inside player with powerful offensive firepower into an inside defensive gate and team support, but also because of the precedent of Takenori Akagi.

Yu Zhu committed only one foul in the entire first half, and Tian Gangmao said proudly:

"How can it be so easy for you to drive Yuzhu off the field, Gaotou! Next, it depends on whose offense is better..." Both coaches were making tactical arrangements for the second half during the halftime break.

But starting from the second half, it was obvious that Ryonan had the better tactics.

In the second half, Ryonan sent out the "big five" lineup of Uozu, Fukuda, Oda, Ikegami, and Sendoh to fight against Hainan.

Among these five people, except Ikegami, whose offensive means and desire are relatively weak, the other four have strong scoring means.

On the defensive end, their shortest player Ikegami is 183cm tall. Not only does he have enough height advantage, but he can also block Hainan's backcourt double gun combination through one-on-one defense by Ikegami and Oda.

In Hanamichi's opinion, if Coach Tanaoka's on-the-spot command had not been weak, and if he had fought against Hainan when they had a lead of more than ten points in the first half, they would have won long ago.

Although Ryonan does not have an outside three-point shooter now, it has the defensive pioneer Ikegami and Oda who is above average in both offense and defense, so they can completely block anyone from Kainan except Shinichi Maki.

In addition, Sendoh's talent as a point guard is not inferior to that of Amu, so Ryonan can easily suppress Hainan with its strength and there is no need to send out this lineup in the second half.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Coach Tiangang wanted to use Fukuda to steal some points from Hainan in order to make a surprise attack, but since Hainan had discovered his plan, he should have changed his formation earlier. In the second half, he would have had to fight Hainan head-on!

Fortunately, Ryonan has the capital to make up for Coach Takeo's carelessness and negligence, and the goddess of victory is gradually waving to Ryonan.

With the support of Yuzhu, the Ryonan team had more opportunities to shoot. At the same time, Sendoh did not have that much pressure to shoot when facing Amu, and the entire Ryonan was completely activated.

In addition, Ryonan had a comprehensive advantage on the entire front line and maintained a dominant position in rebounding throughout the game, and its point guard Sendoh was not inferior to Hainan Amu.

Facing Ryonan's luxurious lineup, Hainan gradually fell into a disadvantage in the second half, just like when facing Shohoku.

Coach Takato was helpless in the face of the gap in hard power between the two teams, and eventually lost to Ryonan team 81:92.

The best performer of the game was Yuzumi, who played a pivotal role in the interior. He scored 21 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 blocks.

But everyone who watched the game knows that Sendoh, who scored 17 points and made 16 assists, was the one who truly defeated Hainan Amu in a strategic sense.

Not only did he guide Ryonan to unleash its maximum offensive firepower throughout the game, but when Shinichi Maki was at his full potential in the second half, he also relied on himself to engage in a mutual explosion with Amu and suppressed his resistance.

Most of Sendoh's points were scored in the second half when he competed with Amu, and he was not at all behind.

To use the words that Yuzumi used to provoke Shinichi Maki before the game:

"The top position in Kanagawa Prefecture is going to be taken by a new person today!"

As for Fukuda and Oda, they scored 20 points and 16 points respectively. Ikegami, Uekusa and the cross-country team who played in the first half scored a total of 18 points.

The entire Ryonan team performed well, but looking at Coach Takeka's face full of wrinkles and Uozumi crying with joy, it is not difficult to know that Ryonan achieved the best result in history in this joint finals.

The next step is the decisive battle with Shohoku, but no matter what, both Shohoku and Ryonan have achieved 2 wins and have already secured a seat to represent Kanagawa Prefecture in the national competition.

As for Hainan, we can only say that the winter season is here again.

"I never thought that Hainan, who has defended the Kanagawa championship for 16 consecutive years and participated in the national competition, would miss the national competition this time. This will definitely be the headline, Ms. Aida!"

Nakamura, an intern reporter for Basketball Weekly, said excitedly.

And Yayoi Aida said with certainty:

"There's an even bigger headline! Who will win the championship in Kanagawa between Shohoku and Ryonan?"

"Their playing styles are all unique, and the five starting players are all top players in the county. No, they are top players in the country, and Hainan has proven this for us..."

At this point, Yayoi Aida recalled the performances of Uozumi, Akagi, Sendoh, Rukawa, Hanamichi, Fukuda, Miyagi, Mitsui, Oda, and Ikegami during this period, and then said decisively:

"All of this will be revealed tomorrow!"
