NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

It can be seen that Ryonan's coach Takeo has carefully studied the playing style of Meiho Industrial and made targeted deployments.

This is different from the man-to-man defense strategy adopted by the Ryonan team in the past.

In this match against Meiho, from the very beginning, Ryonan deployed a 3-2 zone defense, also known as a 1-2-2 zone defense.

One advantage of this type of zone defense is that in addition to effectively limiting the offense's mid-range scoring, it can also promptly disrupt the offense's outside passes.

To put it simply, it destroys the internal and external connections.

In the first five minutes of the game, Mingpeng Industrial's outside players made only 5 of 6 shots.

He was intercepted 3 times and blocked 2 times by the Ryonan team and only scored 8 points, which was a far cry from his performance.

Ryonan scored 17 points with the help of Sendoh.

Fukuda and Oda were at full firepower, and they kept cutting into the restricted area and attacking the basket;

The other one was shooting from mid-range, playing with great enthusiasm.

For a while, there was a lot of cheers from the crowd, and many neutral fans and spectators were attracted by Ryonan's style of play and turned to support Ryonan (Sendoh).

Even the people from the Sports Committee praised the Ryonan team highly.

Mu Mu expressed his optimistic opinion:

"As expected of Sendoh, you did a great job. It looks like Ryonan will definitely win this game!"

"Ah! When it comes to point guard talent, he's on par with Amu! The guard from Meiho Industries is no match for him at all."

Miyagi also spoke up in agreement.

"Something's wrong, look at the coach of Mingpeng Industries!"

Mitsui directly pointed out the problem.

As far as everyone could see, the unshaven, drunk coach was sitting on a chair, grinning crookedly at the field, not looking anxious at all.

He was laughing and mumbling something. If you listened closely, you would find that he was saying:

"That guy A-Kuan is playing tricks again..."

Mitsui doesn't think he would be a fool as the coach of a top four team.

"Meiho Industries is about to fall behind by double digits. The huge gap will make the team anxious too early and further deplete the players' mental and physical strength."

"What he should have done at this time was to change the situation on the court by making substitutions and adjusting tactics. At the very least, he should have called a timeout to disrupt Ryonan's momentum."

"But the coach of Mingpeng Industrial doesn't seem to be anxious at all. Is he confident or does he have another plan?"

"Physical fitness?" Akagi finally figured everything out after hearing the key words in Mitsui's words, "That's it! Coach Anzai?"

As he spoke, Akagi pointed at Yuzumi.

Everyone then noticed that only 5 minutes into the game, Ryonan team's center, Uozumi, was sweating profusely.

The occasional heavy breathing seemed to foreshadow the hardships faced by this center!

"That's right, the real key to this game lies in the main general Yuzumi!"

Coach Anxi pointed out the problem directly, which surprised everyone.

"What? That monkey leader!"

The Sakuragi Army made sounds of disbelief.

"The 3-2 zone defense coupled with Sendoh's genius guidance completely blocked Meipeng Industries' outside line and cut off their inside-outside connection.

But there is also a problem that can be said to be almost non-existent, that is, under the double team defense, the pressure in the interior increases dramatically!

The reason why the problem is almost non-existent is that Yuzumi, who has the top center level among high school students in the country, is rarely at a disadvantage in the interior unless he meets opponents of the same level or higher level.

But the freshman No. 15 of Meiho Industry is obviously stronger than Yuzumi.

Facing his wrestling strength, it is not easy for Yuzumi to hold on until now, but I don’t know how long he can hold on! "

At this time, the drunk coach of Meipeng Industry suddenly used his hands as a megaphone and shouted loudly to the field:

"Ah Kuan, he's already exhausted, stop playing!"

"Oh, uncle!"

Mori Shigehiro pushed the overwhelmed Yuzumi aside and easily caught the lob.

Then he turned around and took two steps before dunking the ball, knocking Yu Zhu, who was coming to defend, to the ground.

The entire basketball hoop creaked as Mori Shigekuan's dunk sounded, as if it was about to collapse.

Yuzumi fell to the ground in pain. The physical energy consumed by wrestling with Mori Shigehiro was far beyond his imagination.

Coupled with the reasonable collision just now, it was difficult for him to stand up again for a while.

"Beep! White No. 15 has a technical foul. Blue No. 4, can you still stand up and shoot the free throw?"

"Really? That guy A-Kuan has his old problems again!"

The drunk coach wiped his forehead, pretending to have a headache, but he couldn't hide his smile no matter how he looked.

After all, Mori Shigehiro is a rough jade that he discovered and carved, and is hailed as a "treasure" that is rarely seen in a century.

Now that he is in the limelight in the semi-finals, he is naturally proud of himself as his first coach.

"Beep~Ryonan team requests a timeout."

"Uozumi, how are you?"

Coach Tagore asked anxiously to Yuzumi who was being helped to the bench by his teammates to rest.

"That guy, he did it on purpose, he was wrestling with me on purpose!"

Yuzumi said with difficulty.

"Uozumi-senpai!"

Xiandao looked at Yuzumi's struggling expression, and the smile that usually hung on the corner of his mouth disappeared. He clenched his fists and said:

"Coach, please let Captain Yuzumi go off the court to rest. I won't let Ryonan fall behind in the first half!"

"You don't have to tell me, I will do the same. Yueyue, you will replace Yuzumi and play as the point guard. Sendoh, you will go back to the small forward position and let the national audience see your offensive firepower!"

"Yes!"

Coach Tanaoka replaced Yuzumi despite his objections.

Seeing his favorite player Sendō running to the court, Coach Tanaoka turned to Uozumi and said:

"Yuzumi, I won't give up! The key to the game lies in the second half! You must take a good rest in these 30 minutes (10 minutes left in the first half, 10 minutes for halftime, and 10 minutes before the second half)!"

"Coach!" Looking at the "tall" coach in front of him, Yuzumi couldn't help but recall that when he first entered high school, he was called "useless except for his height". When he wanted to give up, it was this coach in green work clothes who encouraged him.

After a year of hard training to overcome his physical problems, he was defeated by Akagi in the county competition. It was this coach in green work clothes who accompanied him to rebuild his basic skills.

When he received an invitation from the head coach of Fukazawa Sports University and the star player Shota Shanshan, and solemnly thanked Coach Tiangang, he said seriously:

"That's all your own hard work, Uozumi. You must keep working hard even if you get into Fukasawa Sports University!"

Turning around, Yuzumi overheard his happy and excited voice just outside the coach's office.

One can imagine how the coach, who always wore green work clothes, sang and danced in the office to celebrate for him.

"I won't give up either, Coach!"

Yuzumi clenched his fists.
