Ryonan's dual-track era

As for Tsukutake's characteristics, Kitano Taku understood them at the beginning of the game.

Since the inside line was not dominant, Tsukutake's tactic was to find a scoring point on the outside line.

Therefore, in the second half, Kitano Taku first controlled Tsukutake's trump card Wu Dai.

Then, he began to compress Tsukutake's passing line. He adjusted his position by running without the ball, constantly forcing Tsukutake to pass the ball in the right half.

In the right half, Tsukutake only had Matsubara, but his long-range shooting ability was insufficient, and the passing line was single, so there were many cases of Sendoh stealing the ball.

It can be said that Kitano Taku suppressed the entire Tsukutake attack with just the movement without the ball.

At this time, Tsukutake was attacking.

Kitano Taku did not defend Wu Dai, he was about one meter away from Wu Dai, but Natsume did not dare to pass the basketball to him.

Because at this moment, Kitano Taku was not standing still, but constantly moving his body.

This kind of defense will undoubtedly consume a lot of physical energy, but it is nothing for Kitano Taku.

Tsukutake's offensive area was compressed too narrow.

Natsume could only pass the ball back and forth with Matsubara, Murata and others, and he also had to worry about the basketball being intercepted by Ryonan.

In this situation, Tsukutake couldn't score at all.

"Bang!"

Murata stumbled and threw the basketball out, and the result was predictable.

The basketball collapsed and flew out!

Yuzumi jumped up and directly took the basketball into his pocket.

Ryonan's counterattack began again!

""Sendoh!"

Yuzumi shouted, and a long pass accurately found Sendoh who was advancing.

Sendoh rushed into the penalty area in a blink of an eye, he jumped into the air, and a light layup scored another two points for Ryonan

""Beep!"

At this time, the referee announced that Tsukutake requested a timeout.

Coach Kawasaki could no longer hold on.

Now the problem of the team's qualification is no longer something the players can solve by themselves.

Tsukutake's players returned to the bench with their heads down. Natsume hammered the floor hard,"Damn, this ball is so uncomfortable to play!"

Coach Kawasaki patted Natsume on the shoulder,"Don't be anxious, our passing routes are too single now."

"Everyone should move more and create space for Natsume to pass the ball."

Wu Dai, who was leaning against his head, suddenly said,"Teacher, why don't you replace me?..."

""Huh?" Coach Kawasaki was stunned. He couldn't believe that these were the words of Wu Dai, who was obsessed with basketball.

Wu Dai gasped and said,"Teacher, did you notice the No. 14 player from Ryonan?"

Coach Kawasaki nodded. This first-year player from Ryonan was very good, but he was overshadowed by the amazing performance of another first-year player from Ryonan.

"I want to observe him carefully!" Wu Dai clenched his fists slightly.

In the second half, he was blocked by Taku Kitano. It felt like he was in a swamp.

Wu Dai also tried many times to create scoring opportunities by running.

But every time he felt like he was going to catch the ball, Natsume was always afraid to pass it.

So he wanted to take a closer look at what Taku Kitano did off the court.

Coach Kawasaki looked at Wu Dai and fell into a brief contemplation. He suddenly found that all his energy seemed to be focused on Ryonan's dazzling Sendoh.

But he ignored Taku Kitano!

"I see..."Coach Kawasaki said seriously:"Godai, please go off the court and take a rest first...."

"Today's Ryonan is different from what we knew before..."Coach Kawasaki regained his gentle expression and encouraged,"But it would be too easy to win the game by changing your style."

"Ryonan has Yuzhu in the inside and Sendoh in the outside. These two positions are indeed very strong, but the players in other positions have loopholes."

"So next we have to focus on attacking the left half"

"Murata, Natsume, you need to step up your attack"

"Yes!" Natsume and Murata nodded. Although their offense was not as strong as Wushiro's, the defensive pressure from Nakano and Kawami was indeed not as strong as Kitano Taku, Sendoh and Uozumi.

The game resumed and the players from both sides came on the field.

The score at this time was 42 to 49, with Ryonan leading by 7 points.

Tsukutake followed the requirements of Coach Kawasaki and began to look for opportunities for Natsume and Murata.

But they soon discovered that their passing line was still in the right half of the court, and they could not pass to the left half at all, otherwise the ball would be stolen.

In this warm-up match, Tsukutake played heartily in the first half, but fell into a tough battle in the second half.

They felt that every second on the court was torture.

Soon, with 5 minutes left before the end of the game, Ryonan actually widened the gap to 40 points!

Sendoh was undoubtedly the best performer of the Ryonan team. He was now at full firepower in the second half, shooting from outside and inside, as if he was in an empty field.

This amazing performance The performance instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone outside the court was discussing Sendoh's strength, and some girls were discussing his appearance.

Coach Kawasaki already knew that they could not win this game, and he stood on the sidelines recalling the second half of the game.

He would probably never forget the name Sendoh of Ryonan. Although he is still a freshman, the brilliance of that superstar can no longer be concealed.

But what Wu Dai said made him focus more on another freshman in Ryonan, Taku Kitano.

Under Coach Kawasaki's observation, he was soon shocked by Taku Kitano's strength.

He finally realized at this time that the most fundamental reason why the team struggled so much was Taku Kitano's defensive limitations!

It turned out that this was the biggest difference between Ryonan and before!

Coach Kawasaki turned his head and looked at Coach Takeo, who was touching his chin and staring at the game on the court with admiration.

"Alas!"Coach Kawasaki sighed secretly. If he could have discovered this earlier, maybe they still had a chance.

""Any chance?" Coach Kawasaki shook his head again."With him here, we have no chance...."

"Xiandao is indeed a rare genius in ten years...."At this time, Wu Dai, who was sitting on the bench, suddenly said:"But that Kitano Taku gives me the chills!"
