After the pause, Lingnan launched a fierce counterattack. Under the leadership of Sendo, Fukuda and Yuzhu's firepower was once again awakened, stirring up trouble inside Miura Station.
Although Naito and Ohno worked very hard and actively defended, they still couldn't stop Fukuda's strong shots again and again.
Yu Zhu was not a technical center forward, but his skills were enough to deal with Naito, who was less than a year old.
Fortunately, Naito's physical fitness was always there. Moreover, under Wu Yufei's tutelage, Naito's technique of blocking and snatching the board improved very quickly. Relying on his explosive physical fitness and Ohno Izumi's cooperation, at least Miura Dae could maintain their competitiveness in rebounding.
Meanwhile, Ono relied on the pick-and-roll tactic with Wu Yufei to get back the points he lost from Fukuda.
Both Miuradai and Lingnan had come up with tactics that the other team could not effectively deal with for the time being, so the game was quite intense and enjoyable, and the score also rose with time.
At the end of the first half, the score was 55:47 in Miura Dae.
Although it wasn't the two-digit difference that Miura Dae wanted, eight points was still a decent advantage.
"Everyone performed quite well in the first half. I'm very satisfied.”
In the lounge, Coach Harada's face was glowing.
Compared to the previous rounds of the group stage where Miura had already established a huge advantage of several points before the end of the first half, today, facing Lingnan, Miura was only leading by eight points at the end of the first half. Lingnan still had the ability to counterattack.
However, it was only the group stage, after all. Strong teams and weak teams were mixed together. No matter what kind of victory they won, it was nothing to Coach Harada.
Today was different. Their opponent was one of last year's top four, and this year, they were also in the top four. They were the old tyrants of the county, and they had the county's top player, Yu Zhujun, and the genius player from Tokyo, Shinto Shinto.
Coach Harada was very satisfied to be able to get an eight-point lead over such a team.
"In the second half, we will continue our previous offensive. Yu Fei will organize every attack. Everyone on the field must listen to Yu Fei's arrangements and mobilization. In terms of defense, Ohno, you have to put more energy into that Fukuda! He scored 20 points alone in the first half. I don't want him to score more points in the second half!”
"Yes!"
Ichiteru Ohno stood up straight and loudly received the order. However, he felt rather uneasy.
After all, he had tried very hard to defend against Fukuda in the first half, but Fukuda was too strong. He found opportunities to exploit the loopholes many times.
"I have a good idea about Fukuda…"
Wu Yufei put down the towel and said with a mysterious smile on his face.
…………
Beep!
As the referee blew the whistle, the second half of the game officially began.
After more than ten minutes of rest, the audience and fans had recovered their strength and replenished their energy. They were ready to continue cheering for the players who were fighting on the field.
"Go, go, Lingnan! Attack Lingnan!"
As soon as Sandao took the ball, Lingnan's supporters on the field released all their energy to cheer for him.
Wu Yufei stood at his position and waited.
Sendo didn't stick to the ball too much and found an opportunity to directly send Qiu into the lane and hand him over to Yu Zhu.
Yuki successfully received the ball, made some adjustments, and then forcefully hit Naito.
However, Naito defended very well and did not give Ushiki a chance to move further.
After a few moments of stalemate, Yu Zhu saw that there were no good shooting opportunities and he couldn't squeeze into the penalty area. He could only helplessly pass the ball back to Sindhi for him to organize the next wave of attacks.
Immortal Dao protected the ball while looking around.
"Immortal Dao! Give it to me!"
Fukuda ran out to help.
Sandao nodded and handed the ball to Fukuda.
When Izumi Ohno, who was responsible for defending against Fukuda, saw Fukuda take the ball, he did something that surprised everyone in the audience.
Run back to the lane and empty Fukuda!
That's right, seeing Fukuda get the ball, Ohno Izumi directly retreated into the penalty area and waited, not giving Fukuda a chance to take advantage of the gap.
"Damn it! Was he finally being used? Fukuda's weakness.”
On the sidelines, Coach Tian Gang stood up in shock.
Fukuda, who had been emptied, saw Ichiteru Ohno, who had already retreated to the inside lane. He looked at the basket in the distance, and his face revealed a blank expression.
In the next moment, Fukuda, who felt that he was being underestimated, angrily chose to attack from the middle distance.
"No, Ah Fu!"
The Immortal Dao was shocked, but it was already too late.
duang！！
The sound of iron hitting echoed in the stadium.
"Oh…"
Yu Zhu wanted to grab the rebound, but Izumi Ohno had already firmly blocked his position, making him unable to move.
In the end, the rebound was also successfully taken by Naito Tetsuki, and Lingnan's attack failed.
"Hey."
Lingnan could only quickly return to defend and not let Miura Dae take the opportunity to attack quickly.
"Yihui did well."
Wu Yufei and Ohno Izumi high-fived before taking the basketball back from Naito.
"Continue fighting like this."
"Understood!"
……
After Wu Yufei pushed Miuradai's attack to the front field, Ohno Izumi immediately came out to pick and roll.
Don't even think about it!
Amami knew that Miuradai was going to use their best move again, so he didn't directly go around Ohno Izumi to chase after Wu Yufei. Instead, he blocked Wu Yufei's path of passing the ball and waited for an opportunity to intercept it.
However, Wu Yufei also keenly caught the Immortal Dao's movements.
Since you're not coming over to defend against me with Fukuda, then I won't be polite!
Wu Yufei smiled lightly. This time, he did not choose to pass the ball to Ohno Izumi, who was going down. Instead, he went straight for Fukuda Yoshima.
Everyone should be well aware of Fukuda's defensive skills. Saying that he was on the same level as Hanamichi Sakuragi was already an exaggeration. Sakuragi had at least 360 degrees of " hmph defense " without any blind spots. What did Fukuda have?
Bang! Swoosh!
With a simple cross step, Wu Yufei instantly sped up and passed the tall and strong Fukuda Yoshimoga in front of him, directly rushing into Lingnan's inner lane.
This time, the Immortal Dao was finally forced to come up. After all, he was about to reach Wu Yufei's effective shooting range.
However, with the arrival of the Immortal Dao, Ichiteru Ohno's mind was completely empty.
Swoosh!
After receiving Wu Yufei's pass, Ohno Ichiteru easily made an overhead basket, adding two more points to Miuradai.
"Well done!"
"This time, the advantage has reached double digits again!!”
The Miuradai substitutes 'bench and the audience in the stands who supported Miuradai cheered excitedly, while the other half of the district that supported Lingnan fell silent.
"It's unbelievable. Miura Tai's No. 10 is only a first-year student, but he's more mature and experienced than Sendo. With his level, even if he goes to university right now, he'll definitely be the ace player in the team.”
In the press area, Aida Yayoi, who had been looking forward to Lingnan getting a good start, felt numb.
In just a short year, the water in the basketball world of Kanagawa High School had actually reached such a deep level?
On the other side, on Lingnan's substitutes 'bench, Taoka Shigeichi put away the shocked expression on his face and slowly walked to the referee's seat.
He admitted that he had made a wrong decision during the halftime interval, so he had to correct it immediately.
