Chapter 135 The decisive battle is coming
Chapter 135 The decisive battle is coming
With the outbreak of Nijimura, Emperor Kiri had to admit that they couldn't stop Zhengbang offensively.
This also made them change their thinking. Since they can't stop you, then who can score more points?
So when Kiriou was attacking, Imayoshi stopped trying to break through Tsugawa after several fruitless tests. Instead, he made several unexpected passes to allow Sakurai to score.
Although Hongcun quickly returned the favor, the score between the two teams began to open up point by point.
Although Oda has May's information and is gradually familiar with Sakurai's offensive rhythm, they obviously don't have much time to give him growth as he can only play one quarter.
At this time, Zhenggong took the initiative to call a timeout. After the game, Alex asked Nijimura and Oda to switch defenses, and asked Nijimura to try to make it more difficult for Sakurai to catch the ball.
At the same time, May was also talking to Jinchuan on the side, which made Shiraishi on the side look strange.
I don’t know whether it was right or wrong to ask her to study psychology in junior high school so that she could become Teiko’s manager early.
And Emperor Kiri also understood that Zhengbong couldn't let Sakurai do whatever he wanted.
Therefore, coach Harasawa asked Imayoshi to judge the situation on the field and choose who to pass the ball to. He believed that Imayoshi had the ability to organize the offense and did not interfere too much.
Instead, they were trying to stop Nijimura and asked Imayoshi to help Susa, but they did not mention how to let Imayoshi break through Tsukawa's defense.
Aomine on the side listened to everyone's arrangements without any interest in interrupting. His mind was full of looking forward to the third quarter of the game ending soon and continuing his duel with Shiraishi.
……
The two sides quickly continued to play. After Nijimura once again scored under the joint defense of Sakurai and Susa, he took the initiative to find Oda, switched defenses with him, and let him defend the opponent.
Seeing the opponent taking the initiative to change formations, Emperor Tong also understood that their time to let Sakurai take what he wanted was over.
When Imayoshi dribbled in front of Tsukawa again, he looked at Nijimura blocking the passing route between him and Sakurai, and understood that passing the ball to the opponent at this time was not a good option.
After looking at Tsukawa who was firmly defending in front of him, Imayoshi decided to test it again.
So Imayoshi repeated his old trick and suddenly started running in the direction of Susa. However, the basketball in his hand was no longer passed to Sakurai, but to Wakamatsu under the basket.
What is unexpected is that although Tsukawa moved with Imayoshi's footsteps, the ball just passed by Imayoshi was stopped by Tsukawa.
Seeing Tsukawa blocking the ball, Nijimura abandoned Sakurai and ran to the opposite half.
Tsugawa didn't hesitate and threw the ball directly to the opposite side. Nijimura, who ran early, jumped up and caught it, and then scored easily in three minutes.
This caused Tonghuang's five-point advantage that he had worked so hard to save point by point to be wiped out by these two goals.
Seeing the ball go in, Imayoshi squinted his eyes and stared at Tsukawa. He didn't understand why the opponent was able to block the ball. This was the first time he suddenly passed the ball to Wakamatsu.
Suddenly Imayoshi seemed to think of something and glanced at May off the court. Are you so good at psychology?
Tsugawa once again lamented the strength of May. He actually guessed in advance that the opponent would assign the offensive ball to Wakamatsu after seeing Nijimura go to defend Sakurai alone, and the first ball must be given to Wakamatsu.
After that, Imayoshi once again held the ball to attack. Facing Jinchuan's airtight defense, Imayoshi took the initiative to use a step-back shot to try to score.
But it had no effect on Tsugawa. The moment he saw Imayoshi retreating, Tsugawa had already rushed forward.
Tsugawa raised his right hand high to block Imayoshi's sight, forcing Imayoshi to take action in advance.
However, Imayoshi was not Midorima. He took a hasty shot and did not score, but the basketball flew towards Wakamatsu.
Wakamatsu jumped up to catch the flying basketball, then rushed towards Iwamura with his back turned, hoping to push away Iwamura.
However, Iwamura was not pushed away by Wakamatsu's collision. The two sides began to wrestle, and neither could do anything to the other.
Suddenly, Iwamura took a step forward after a collision, turned around and jumped to shoot.
But Iwamura had long been on guard against his move. When Wakamatsu had just made a move, Iwamura jumped up and slapped the ball away.
Because Oda was closer, he caught the flying basketball before Susa, and passed a long pass to Nijimura who was running towards the opponent's half.
After Nijimura jumped up to catch the ball, Sakurai quickly settled down, thinking that even if it was just a delay to wait for his teammates to defend together.
But Nijimura regarded his defense as nothing, and flexibly bypassed him with a fake move. He rushed towards the Kirio basket as fast as lightning, then jumped up and shot hard. The basketball drew a beautiful parabola in the air and accurately hit the target. Fell into the basket.
Seeing that Hong Cun was really unstoppable, Imayoshi couldn't sit still.
When the dribble came to Tsugawa again, Imayoshi did not choose to pass the ball again, but planned to score by himself.
Feeling the change in Imayoshi's aura, Tsugawa became more serious. Although he didn't know what happened to Imayoshi, he was like a harmless fox before, but now he is a poisonous snake preparing to attack.
Imayoshi did not slowly look for opportunities as before, but directly made a fake move to break through to the right, deceiving Jinchuan to move quickly to defend.
Then he crossed the ball and ran to the left. His speed was not very fast, and Jinchuan also reacted quickly.
However, Imayoshi had already considered this level, and even the breakthrough to the left was a fake move.
When Tsugawa's focus shifted for the second time, Imayoshi directly changed his move into a step-back shot.
After two consecutive fake moves, Imayoshi finally broke through Tsugawa's iron wall-like defense.
Looking at Imayoshi's not very fast but perfectly designed offensive moves, Nijimura understood that the opponent's captain, who had always been unhurried, was starting to exert force.
Next, Nijimura's unstoppable strength will still score points for Zhengbang. Occasionally, he will pass the ball to Oda unexpectedly, allowing Oda to score three points.
On Kirihui's side, they relied on Imayoshi's performance and Wakamatsu's flexibility to score at the basket, and the two sides were also determined to hold on to the score.
The third quarter of the game ended in a stalemate battle between the two teams. At this time, the score of the two teams reached 46:43, and Zhengbang temporarily led by three points.
These three points are harmless to the next battle between Shiraishi and Aomine, and both sides can accept it.
Because everyone knows that the two of them will no longer be clumsy in the next decisive battle. After one side gains the advantage, the score will be quickly expanded.
And this is also true. After Shiraishi came off the field, he praised his teammates, and then encouraged Oda. It will be a long time, and he has made great progress, so there is no need to belittle himself.
On Kirihui's side, although Aomine didn't mean to praise his teammates, he said "you did a good job" when facing Sakurai's apology, and didn't take the point difference into consideration at all.
The coaches of both sides did not interfere in the arrangements for the last quarter. They saw that any tactics for these two people were in vain, so it was better to let them solve it in their own way.
