Chapter 249 Meeting the Mountain King Again
December 25, 9 a.m., Kanagawa, Central Gymnasium!
The stadium was filled with strong noises. A large number of spectators had entered the stadium an hour ago, and the seats were packed and the crowd was buzzing.
This is Kanagawa, and the two teams from Kanagawa all advanced to the finals. This naturally attracted the attention of a large number of Kanagawa spectators, and many people came spontaneously to cheer for their teams.
They sincerely hope that the two teams from Kanagawa will meet in the finals.
There are two games today, they are Yeungnam VS Sanno Industrial and Buri VS Hakata Shougang University Affiliated.
This game fell behind as the match between Lingnan and Shanwang became the focus.
So, the first match was between Buri and Hakata.
When the game was about to start, the audience cheered for the team they supported.
Among them, this is Kanagawa's home court after all, so Buri's supporters unsurprisingly had the upper hand.
However, Bodo is also a 'rich family' after all, with many supporters across the country. What's more, Bodo also organized many students to watch, so it is not necessarily far behind in terms of momentum.
Since it was the first time to play in the Winter National Competition, even though they had played several games before, this time the opponent was Hakata. Many Buri players were still subconsciously nervous. It was obvious that their bodies were stiff during the warm-up.
I also sweat more than usual.
Unlike Buri, Bodo players are used to such big scenes. They don't seem to be affected at all and are still warming up as usual.
This is the gap in background. Buri still has a long way to go if he wants to reach the level of Hakata.
Of course, if history does not change, Buri in two years' time may inevitably have to 'make the same mistakes again'.
"Buri, come on!"
"Brother Watanabe, kill them!"
As a team from Kanagawa, Lingnan and Buri often have friendly discussions. Lingnan is naturally unanimous in resisting foreigners, and Lingnan players spontaneously cheer for Buri.
"Uozumi, which team do you think will win the game?"
"Hakata!"
Without hesitation, Yuzhu blurted out.
According to Uozumi, Hakata has three major advantages.
1. Psychological advantages.
In the evaluation of "Basketball Weekly", Bodo is an A+ team, while Buri is an A-level team. In addition, Bodo players have adapted to the national competition atmosphere, and the psychological advantage can be imagined.
Second, strength advantage.
In terms of overall strength, although Buri is strong, Hakata is stronger. No one can deny this.
The Watanabe brothers are all top players, but Hakata also has more than one top player, and they also have Nobisuke Suzuki, who is known as the No. 1 power forward in high school.
In Uozumi's view, Suzuki Nohisuke may have entered the realm of dominance.
Three, teamwork.
Bodo emphasizes the group, rather than individual players like most colleges and universities. All players must serve the group. It is the most influential team basketball team in the country.
In terms of teamwork, even though the Watanabe brothers cooperate very well, the other Buri players are much inferior in cooperation.
Boduo has three major advantages, so it has a natural advantage in winning.
Of course, the difference between the two teams is not very big. Buri also has the possibility of winning the game. In short, it depends on the status of the players on both sides.
Coach Tian Gang folded his hands and said: "You are right, but you have also forgotten one thing, and that is the gap between the coaches of the two sides."
"This is indeed true!"
The fish abbot agreed.
With the Watanabe brothers, Buri's overall strength is no less than that of Hainan and Shoyang, but they have never left Kanagawa in the past two years, which shows that Coach Buri's coaching level may not be that high.
Bodo is different. Coach Bodo has been coaching Bodo for nearly 20 years, during which he has won more than a dozen national championships. He is also the one who established Bodo’s style of play. He is a meritorious coach who is old and strong.
Not long after, the game finally started.
As soon as the game started, Buri was suppressed by Hakata. Due to the tense relationship, Buri could not score a single point in the first three minutes.
In addition, Hakata has obviously studied Buri and made targeted defense, which is also one of the reasons why Buri did not score a point.
Masao Watanabe had no choice but to step up and beat Buri's center continuously, finally breaking the scoring drought.
However, Buri still did not narrow the point difference.
The Watanabe brothers are indeed very strong, but Watanabe Masayasu's opponent is the stronger Suzuki Nohisuke.
Watanabe Masayasu was completely suppressed by Nobisuke Suzuki. He could only score by relying on tacit cooperation with Watanabe Masao, and his efficiency was far lower than before.
Masao Watanabe's situation has improved a lot, but under Hakata's team defense, his efficiency has not decreased much, but every score requires a lot of effort.
It has to be said that the cooperation between Bodo players is not generally excellent. It feels like a machine and in good order.
Unlike Buri, Bodo players can often get easy scoring opportunities through exquisite coordination.
If this continues, Buri may be able to temporarily hold on to the score with the help of the Watanabe brothers, but once the two men are exhausted, the consequences will be disastrous.
On the sidelines, coach Wu Li looked very anxious. He had called two timeouts in a row, but neither achieved much good results.
By the end of the first half, the point difference between the two sides had widened further and had reached double digits.
At the end of the game, the Watanabe brothers were sweating profusely and looked very tired.
In the first half, the Watanabe brothers jointly scored more than 30 points, while the other Buri players' combined scores did not exceed ten points and were inefficient.
Compared with Xiangyang, Buri is more restrained by Hakata, which can be seen from Buri's turnover data.
Although Nohara Koichiro of Buri is pretty good, he is still far behind Shoyo's Fujima.
After ten minutes, the two sides took the field again.
At the beginning, the Watanabe brothers, who had recovered their physical strength, held on for ten minutes.
After ten minutes, they couldn't hold on any longer, but Buri didn't have any players who could help them shoulder the burden of scoring, causing them to plummet.
The point difference between the two teams was quickly widened. By the end of the game, the point difference between the two teams had exceeded 20 points. This was because Bodo replaced all substitute players in the last five minutes.
There is no doubt that Bodo is preparing for tomorrow's finals.
After Buri was eliminated by Hakata, the second final was about to begin.
"Now it's our turn!"
Under the leadership of coach Tian Gang, everyone in Lingnan came to the playing field.
On the other side, coach Domoto appeared with the Sanno players.
After the summer national competition, the two teams met again.
Among them, Uozumi looked at Kentaro Sakurai.
The two sides looked at each other. If we use the exaggerated technique of animation to describe it, it would be that strong electric sparks appeared at the intersection of their eyes.
Chapter completed!
