In the lounge of Xiangbei, Hanamichi Sakuragi punched the locker and made a loud bang!”With a loud bang, he vented the dissatisfaction in his heart.
"Damn it! That damned Celestial!"
Wu Yufei was undoubtedly the player with the most outstanding performance in the first half, and because of this, he became the target of Sakuragi Hanamichi's anger.
"Ah! Sakuragi! Don't destroy the public property here!”
Mu Mu immediately stepped out to stop him and appease Sakuragi's anger.
"At least we managed to pull the gap back to single digits at the end of the first half, didn't we? We're only seven points behind now. There's still the entire second half. The chances of winning are still very high!”
"You don't have to tell me that, Brother Glasses! We will definitely win in the end! I don't care where that guy came from. I, the genius Sakuragi, will definitely defeat him!”
"You're right, Sakuragi."
Miyagi Ryoda also participated.
"In the second half, you have to grab more rebounded balls!”
"Oh! Don't worry, Little Liang, leave the basket to this genius! In the second half, I'm going to get ten…no, I'm going to get twenty!”
Kaede Ryukawa and Mitsui remained silent. They sat on the bench and used every second to rest and recover.
According to this situation, they would definitely not be able to last the entire second half. Miura Dae was probably waiting for this opportunity to come...
Coach Anxi looked at the two players who were so tired after only playing the first half and thought helplessly.
Xiangbei's foundation was really too weak. Other than the current starting five tigers, they really couldn't bring out anyone else.
Although Mu Mu had a shooting skill that could barely save the fire, the remaining players like Tsukuda Yasuda and Chaoqi were not presentable at all.
If they were only playing in the quarter-finals and the quarter-finals, it would be barely possible for them to go on stage to relieve the pressure on the main players and waste some time.
But now, in the semifinals, facing an opponent of Miura Tai's level, Coach Anxi did not dare to send them on the field. He could only brace himself and fight the main force.
No matter how many strategies and tricks Anxi had in his mind, if the players could not carry them out, it would be empty talk. After all, it was the players who decided the outcome of the game.
…………
On the other side, in Miura Dae's lounge, as the team in the lead at half-time, the atmosphere was definitely much better than that of Xiangbei.
Except for Wu Yufei who had exhausted a lot of energy running around in the first half, the other players were in a normal state of exhaustion. No one was too tired.
"Continue to play like this in the second half and gradually expand the advantage!”
Coach Harada glanced at the people in front of him and said. Then he turned his eyes to Wu Yufei.
"I'll leave Liu Chuanfeng to you, Yufei. I understand that you are already very tired, but I think that Liu Chuanfeng is definitely more tired than you! As long as we exhaust him to exhaustion and get off the stage early, we'll definitely win!”
"I understand."
Wu Yufei replied and didn't say anything else.
Like Ryugawa Kaede, he had to make good use of every second to rest and recover as much as possible. Otherwise, even if he could wear Ryugawa Kaede out in the second half, he would not be able to stay for more than a few minutes.
Seeing this, Coach Harada didn't bother Wu Yufei anymore. Instead, he looked at Jun Ishiyama.
"Although Mitsui scored a lot of points in the first half, I'm still very satisfied with your defensive attitude. You should be very tired. You should rest for a few more minutes in the second half.”
Coach Harada began to make the substitution arrangements for the second half.
"Kuroda, you go up and continue to exhaust Hisashi Mii's stamina! My request is very simple. Mitsui can score points, but I want you to make him pay a huge price for every point he scores!”
"Yes!"
Now that he finally had the chance to go on stage, Kuroda Yoshito accepted the mission without hesitation.
Then, Coach Harada continued to announce the decision of substitution. Akio Kawasaki replaced Ichiteru Ohno, who took turns to deal with Akagi and Sakuragi in the first half and also consumed a lot of energy.
"In the end, Xiangbei relies on the five players in the starting lineup to play, so they will definitely continue to fight the main force in the second half. There will be no substitution.”
Coach Harada said confidently.
"Compared to them, our biggest advantage is the strength and depth of the bench. We have to make full use of this advantage in the second half!”
Coach Harada naturally understood Xiangbei's biggest weakness, so he was making the right substitution strategy.
"Kuroda and Kawasaki, you don't have to worry about your stamina. It must be aggressive enough!"
"Understood!" X2
Kuroda Yoshito and Kawasaki Akio immediately accepted the mission.
The two of them were the main force, and they were also the reliance of Miura Tai and Xiangbei in the second half!
The ten-minute intermission quickly ended. The players from both teams walked into the arena again and appeared in front of the audience.
"As expected, Miura Tai has changed their team, but Xiangbei still has the same five. If Xiangbei couldn't catch up or even overtake the score as soon as possible, their chances of winning would become smaller and smaller as time passed.”
In the stands, after seeing the players on both sides, Coach Tian Gang directly concluded.
Miura Dae got the ball, and Wu Yufei still carried out the strategy set in the first half, slowing down the pace, slowly grinding and consuming.
With the addition of Kuroda Yoshito and Kawasaki Akio, Miura Dae was obviously more active in defense.
In the 24th second of the second half, Wu Yufei caught Akio Kawasaki's pick-and-roll and successfully broke into the paint. After successfully attracting Akagi's attention to himself, he immediately passed the ball to Naito Tetsuya. The latter turned around and made a layup. Miura Dae scored first.
In the 44th second, Miyagi Ryoda's feint tricked Kengo Murasame and then went straight into Miura's penalty area. He avoided Wu Yufei's steal of the ball and passed the ball to Kaede Rukawa.
Facing Wu Yufei's defense, Kaede Rukawa decisively stepped back to attack.
Although Wu Yufei immediately reacted and tried his best to jump to interfere, he still couldn't stop the shot. Kaede Rukawa's personal score reached 13 points.
In 1 minute 6 seconds, Wu Yufei forced Kaede Rukawa to break into Xiangbei's inner lane. He directly used the Snake Steps to break through, and after passing two people, he threw the ball and hit the board.
At 1 minute 22 seconds, Miyagi Ryoda still wanted to pass the ball to Kaede Rukawa, but Wu Yufei blocked all the positions where he could receive the ball.
As a last resort, Miyagi could only change his target to Hisashi Mii.
Faced with the defense of Kuroda Yoshito, who was full of stamina, the tired Mii was unable to find a suitable opportunity to shoot. After wasting a few seconds, he could only helplessly pass the ball back to Miyagi.
Seeing this, Miyagi made up his mind and directly took action himself. After shaking off Murasame Kengo, he went straight into Miura Dae's restricted area.
Miyagi Ryoda, who had successfully rushed into the penalty area, successfully attracted the attention of Naito Tetsuya and Kawasaki Akio and made a pass to Akagi.
Murasame Kengo rushed back in time and blocked the way.
"Tsk!"
However, Miyagi did not give up. Instead, he changed direction and once again passed the ball to Hisashi Mii, who was standing in a good position outside the three-point line.
This time, Mitsui finally succeeded.
Swoosh!
A three-pointer poured oil on the small flame in the hearts of the people of Xiangbei.
At 1 minute and 46 seconds, Wu Yufei and Naito Tetsuya, who was pulled out, also played a wall collision. After successfully passing Kaede Rukawa, Wu Yufei dribbled the ball into the Xiangbei penalty area and made a layup. After forcing Akagi to jump and block, he passed the ball to Naito Tetsuya. The latter instantly rushed into the basket and easily jumped and dunked.
………
In the first five minutes of the second half, the two sides were very anxious. The points rose in turns, and no one was willing to let out a sigh of relief.
However, as the five-minute checkpoint passed, Xiangbei's disadvantage began to become obvious.
Wu Yufei saw the opportunity and immediately increased the pace of the attack, forcing the people of Xiangbei to run more frequently, further increasing the consumption of physical strength.
Although Liu Chuanfeng had taken the opportunity to steal the chicken and score four points, Wu Yufei was not afraid.
He could see that Liu Chuanfeng's stamina had dropped below the red line.
Wu Yufei began to rely on his personal skills to force his way into Xiangbei's inner lane again and again, forcing Ruchuan Kaede to jump with him again and again, following him back and forth.
The difference between the two teams was still in the range of 6 - 8 - 5 - 7 - 9 - 6.
Although Miuradai never widened the gap, the possibility of Xiangbei's comeback was gradually consumed over time.
