Chapter 274: Lingnan vs. Tanglai Industry (Part )
Although Yuzhu's opening performance was quite amazing, as the overlord of Hiroshima, having participated in national competitions many times, neither the entire Yulai team nor Minami Daisuke himself was discouraged at all, even when they were facing a dark horse and eliminated the Hakata University of Commerce Affiliated School, which was second only to Sanno Industry. You know, the result of the game is the accumulation of one round after another, and it is not decided overnight. At least in Yulai's view... it is still unknown who will win and who will lose!
In the penalty area, facing Yu Zhu's fierce momentum and flawless defense, Nan Tian decisively chose to pass the ball. His passing skills were quite sophisticated and the angle was tricky. The ball flew straight into the hands of Shi Qie on the outside.
After getting the ball, Ishiki opened fire without hesitation. Miyagi on the opposite side reacted extremely quickly, immediately rushed forward, jumped with all his strength, and raised his hands high to try to cover his opponent's eyes. Unfortunately, Ishiki's shooting level was quite good, and his height advantage made the ball go into the basket steadily.
4 to 3, Tang Lai scored a goal!
The ball returned to Ryonan. In this round, Sendoh tore through Tang Lai's defense and passed the ball to Wu Dai, who responded with a three-pointer!
7 to 3, Ryonan's inside and outside players began to show their strength!
It was Tang Lai's turn to attack again. Ishikiri dribbled the ball several times. With the lesson learned just now, Miyagi moved forward, almost sticking to the opponent, not giving Ishikiri any chance to shoot. At the same time, relying on his superior speed, agility and flexibility, Ishikiri tried to break through Miyagi several times but failed easily. After several important games in the county and national competitions, as well as the baptism of powerful opponents in the same position, Miyagi's strength has made a qualitative leap!
Seeing that he didn't have many chances for his personal attack, Shi Ge calmed himself down and winked at Nan Tian. Nan Tian understood what Shi Ge meant and quickly ran out from the inside.
With the help of Minami's huge body's pick-and-roll screen, Ishiwari broke away from Miyagi's defense and broke into Ryonan's inside line.
Seeing this, Sendoh immediately exchanged defensive targets with Miyagi, ran towards Ishikiri at full speed, and stopped the opponent when he tried to approach the basket.
Seeing this, Ishikiri immediately passed the ball back and the ball flew into Minami's hands. After gradually attracting the double-team of the Ryonan players, Fukada passed the ball to No. 6 on the outside.
Facing Miyagi, player No. 6 jumped up to shoot, but Miyagi used his excellent bounce to lightly touch the ball, and the ball hit the basket and bounced out. Everyone rushed forward to grab the ball, and Nantian grabbed the basketball faster. This time he used his footwork to dodge Yuzhu's defense and scored 7:5
"How about it, I scored" After scoring, Nan Tian challenged Yu Zhu, but Yu Zhu ignored him, "fast break" Yu Zhu made a long pass, Miyagi got the ball, used his speed to get rid of the defense and scored a layup 9;5
"You have time to chat during the game. You are really thoughtful." Yu Zhu said to Nan Tian who had not yet reacted.
Tang Lai attacked, and under the basket, Nan Tian got into a layup posture, and a huge black shadow covered the sky and the sun - Yu Zhu!
Nan Tian smiled slightly, changed his hand shape instantly, and threw the ball lightly above the basket. On the other side, the tall figure of player No. 9 jumped high to meet the flying basketball and was about to perform an aerial relay!
"Bang!" Nan Xiang appeared in front of No. 9 at lightning speed and hit the ball away!
This time, the ball's flight path was quite straight, almost parallel to the sideline. Everyone followed closely, and after a scramble, Sendoh relied on his height and long arms to protect the ball in his hands, and then he took the ball alone to launch an attack. "Captain Yu Zhu" Sendoh waited for the Ryonan players to come to Tanglai's half court, and then passed the ball to Yu Zhu who was in a good position inside. After receiving the ball, Yu Zhu turned around without making any adjustments, and used his strength to break through Nan Tian's defense. Shooting at the basket
"You're still early." Nan Tian had already rushed back and reached out to block the shot. "Oops, it was a fake move." Yu Zhu didn't choose to shoot, but threw the ball to the outside. Wu Dai on the outside got the ball and shot a three-pointer steadily, hitting it! 12:5 Although Ryonan made a three-pointer, Ishikiri of Tang Lai also responded with a three-pointer. Then, Nan Tian disrupted the inside pass between Yu Zhu and Nan Xiang on the defensive end. Player No. 9 got the ball. After some cooperation, Tang Lai scored 2 more points 12:10
In the next round, the ball was in Yu Zhu's hands again. Yu Zhu held the ball with one hand and glanced at Sendoh who was moving inside.
"Do you still want to pass the ball? I'm ready." Nan Tian, who was marking him, secretly adjusted his center of gravity and waited for an opportunity to steal the ball. Sure enough, Yu Zhu passed the ball to Sendoh.
"Watch me!" Nan Tian confidently reached out to steal the ball, but the next second he cried out that he was fooled. It turned out that Yu Zhu had taken the ball, tricked Nan Tian away, turned around and shot successfully 14:10
"Nice fake move, very good, Yuzhu." Yuzhu used to give people the impression that he was brave but not smart enough. That's why he has never been a match for Akagi. But this time, he actually used the pass to trick his opponent. How could this change not make Tiangang happy?
Turning back, Tang Lai tried to counterattack, but Miyagi and Sendoh blocked in front of Shiqie in an instant. Under the sudden attack of the two, Shiqie was panicked and lost his mind. Sendoh slapped the ball away! Then he passed it to Miyagi, who broke into Tang Lai's inside line and made a layup! 16;10
Under the sudden escalation of pressure from Ryonan on both offense and defense, Tang Lai was forced into a panic. However, when Tang Lai tried to launch a counterattack again, Ryonan actually switched to man-to-man defense.
Although the overall defensive intensity has decreased compared to before, the actions of the Ryonan players are rigorous and fast, and their concentration is extremely high. Tang Lai can only compete with Ryonan in the center and point guard positions, but he does not have an advantage in other positions. In the interior, Nanxiang is not an easy character to deal with. Nantian holds the ball and cannot take any advantage in the face of two people blocking. When passing the ball to player No. 9, Nanxiang almost steals the ball. Fortunately, Nantian is quick and takes the ball back. He had to pass the ball to the outside. In the end, player No. 6 was forced to shoot from the outside, and the ball hit the basket and bounced out. Nanxiang protected the rebound and passed it to Sendoh who had already started.
Sendoh took the lead with the ball, and behind him, Wu Dai and Miyagi helped block the outside player Tang Lai who was returning to defense. In the end, Sendoh scored a layup.
18 to 10, Ryonan continues to widen the gap!
In this round, Tang Lai was very cautious and worked hard to cooperate with others, and finally broke the goal drought. With the help of player No. 9, Nan Tian got rid of the entanglement of Yu Zhu and Nan Xiang, and made a jump shot outside the penalty area!
18 to 12, Tang Lai recovered two points.
Looking back, Ryonan used the positional warfare, with Yuzhu and Nanxiang cooperating, Yuzhu scored a dunk, and also caused Nantian to foul, Yuzhu scored an extra free throw. Yuzhu was in surprisingly good condition today, and made the free throw that he was not good at. On the defensive end, Yuzhu successfully interfered with Nantian's offense. Ryonan counterattacked, and "Captain Yuzhu" Miyagi saw Yuzhu coming to the free throw line to ask for a shot. Although it was strange, he still handed the ball to Yuzhu. Yuzhu raised the ball above his head and watched the running situation of his teammates.
"Yu Zhu's shooting range is limited. We should be careful of the freshman's cut. The 13th freshman has good physical fitness." Nan Tian focused on Nan Xiang. However, the next second, Yu Zhu shot directly from the middle. Swish! The ball went in. 20:12. This can also go in? Nan Tian looked incredulous.
"Coach, Senior Yuzhu is in surprisingly good shape," Yanyi said to the coach
"Yuzhu... This is the first time I've seen you play in such a relaxed state. Otherwise, based on your past performance, you could only tie with the opponent's center at best. You have been specially recruited by the university and have achieved good grades. You have completely let go of your burdens. This is the real you. Come on, Yuzhu." Tiangang knew the change of his beloved student. "Yanyi, we will definitely win this game," Tiangang replied confidently.
"Yes, we will definitely win." Although his skills were average, Yan Yi could see that his team had a great advantage.
In the following games, Ryonan firmly held the initiative on the court. On the offensive end, Uozu, Sendoh, and Miyagi took turns firing. With the assistance of Nango and Goshiro, Yukai Industrial was unable to withstand Ryonan's overwhelming attack. On the offensive end of Yukai Industrial, although Minami and Ishikiri were able to score points with their good personal abilities, the scores of just the two of them were just a drop in the bucket.
With victory assured, Tanaka made a major personnel change, with Uekusa, Kanpei and even Aida Hikoichi all getting a chance to play.
In the end, Ryonan defeated Tang Lai by 89 to 69, also with a 20-point advantage! This was the first time that Ryonan reached the semifinals of the national competition since its founding!
