Rebirth of Akutsu, dominating the Black Basketball Team

Chapter 88: Tactical Change
The game continued, and both sides wanted to seize the initiative in the first quarter, so the competition was particularly fierce.

The strongest spear and the strongest shield launched a fierce attack and defense.

Liu Wei's three-pointer from the outside made Tong Huang afraid to double-team Murasakibara Atsushi, giving Murasakibara Atsushi a chance to perform.

Even with the help of Susa Yoshinori, Wakamatsu Takasuke still suffered a crushing defeat against Murasakibara Atsushi.

Relying on excellent cooperation between inside and outside lines, Yangquan gradually began to control the direction of the game.

Seeing this, Masako Araki gradually smiled. Everything was almost as she had planned before the game.

Now, the only uncertainty is...

Thinking of this, Masako Araki turned her gaze to the No. 5 player of Touou on the field - Aomine Daiki.

Apart from a few outstanding performances in offense, Qingfeng performed mediocrely the rest of the time.

However, Masako Araki will not underestimate the other party because of this, but will become more vigilant.

The first quarter ended in this situation, with Yangquan leading 24:18 with Tonghuang.

"Ah Ren, Daiki won't lose, right?"

Sitting next to Akutsu, Hanyu couldn't help but ask.

She and Taoi were already very good friends, so she naturally knew that Taoi was on Qingfeng's side.

If Touou and Aomine lost, Hanyu could already imagine Momoi crying to her for comfort.

"Don't worry. Although I don't know why Dahui has been a little restrained, I believe he will be able to catch up soon."

Akutsu said affirmatively.

He had made an appointment with Qingfeng to compete in the finals.

Besides, Qingfeng's zone has not been used yet, just like Yexing.

He simply used a few random moves to score points. Under such circumstances, Qingfeng's physical reserves were still in a very abundant state.

Like Akutsu's judgment, Kise also felt that the second quarter would be the time for Touou to launch a counterattack.

"Why do you say that, Ryouta?"

"Because I know Xiao Qingfeng well. He is not the type of person who can tolerate being left behind."

Ryota recalled the few times during the Teikou period when he was ahead, but was quickly caught up by Aomine.

In fact, this is true. In the rest area of ​​​​Tonghuang, Coach Harazawa is changing the battle plan.

"It seems that the rest of us don't have a good way to deal with Yangquan's defense, so let's give the ball to Qingfeng more."

Yuan Zedek naturally knew that if Yangquan continued to widen the score in the second quarter, the pressure in the second half would be much greater.

Moreover, facing a strong defensive team like Yangquan, we have to hurry up to catch up, because the opponent cannot be overtaken by more than ten or twenty points in one quarter like ordinary teams.

In other words, even for Tonghuang, once the gap between him and Yangquan is more than ten points, the pressure he will face in the future will be enormous.

A defensive team like Yangquan will have no offensive pressure once they let the opponent lead too much and will put all their energy into defense.

"Tonghuang must prevent this from happening, otherwise Daiki will be in danger."

In the Luoshan viewing area, Akashi spoke calmly, as if Murasakibara Atsushi and Aomine Daiki, whom he was evaluating, were just ordinary people with no relevance to him.

The intermission passed quickly and the players from Tonghuang and Yangquan came on the court again.

"come on! Come on!"

"Defense~" "Defense~"

After the game started, the audience in the stands also burst into great enthusiasm and supported both teams.

At the beginning, Tonghuang launched a quick attack.

Sakurai passed the ball to Imayoshi from the outside, and then Imayoshi dribbled a few times before making a long pass to Aomine in the frontcourt. Aomine ran a few steps, got the basketball before his opponent, and then changed direction and passed the defense neatly.

Facing the basket defended by Murasakibara Atsushi, Qingfeng did not attack the basket directly this time, but jumped directly outside the three-second zone.

Seeing this, Murasakibara had no choice but to rush out to defend.

It could only be Murasakibara. No one else could possibly have such an exaggerated defensive range.

Faced with Murasakibara's exaggerated defensive speed and range, Qingfeng was not nervous.

I saw Qingfeng turning his body in mid-air, making a 90-degree turn, and turning his body horizontally in the air, forming a cross with Murasakibara, one horizontally and one vertically.

It was this cross that gave Qingfeng the space to attack.

"Heh~ Dahui you bastard~"

Seeing this scene, Akutsu couldn't help but chuckle.

Of course Akutsu could recognize it, as he used it during his third duel with Aomine during the Teiko period.

However, Akutsu turned 180 degrees in the air and disrupted Aomine's attack headfirst.

This time, Qingfeng used this trick to find an opportunity to score.

Under Murasakibara's incredulous eyes, the basketball passed through his defense and hit the backboard into the basket.

"Qingzai, I really want to crush you to pieces!"

Murasakibara said in an unhappy tone.

In the next round, Yangquan continued to play high and high, but in the process of passing the ball, Qingfeng suddenly appeared, intercepted the basketball, and then quickly counterattacked.

Yangquan didn't react for a while, or even if he did, he couldn't catch up with Qingfeng's speed.

Qingfeng faced an empty basket with no one guarding it and shot directly from outside the three-point line.

The score was 24:23. Not long after the start of the game, Tonghuang almost eliminated the score difference.

"That's it! It's there again!"

In the Seirin area, Kagami Daiga suddenly spoke.

Kagami frowned at the black panther behind Aomine, "Wild?"

Vulcan himself is also wild, and is the king of beasts, the tiger, who is not inferior to the black panther.

However, to do what Aomine did, it would be like predicting the opponent's passing route in advance and then starting ahead of time, but Kagami had no idea at all.

Under the leadership of Qingfeng, Tonghuang began to launch a crazy attack, and also worked harder on the defensive end, trying his best to disrupt Yangquan's offense.

Only half of the second quarter had passed, and Tonghuang not only tied the score, but even surpassed Yangquan by 5 points.

Seeing this, Masako Araki knew she couldn't wait any longer and decisively applied for a pause.

"Be calm, don't be anxious, and don't get caught up in your opponent's rhythm."

As soon as the Yangquan players left the field, Masako Araki spoke quickly.

After saying that, Araki Masako looked at Murasakihara Atsushi, "Atsushi, I need you to defend Aomine later, and leave the basket to the others."

Before, Murasakibara was guarding the basket, and only went over to assist in defense when Aomine broke through.

However, after observation by Masako Araki, this kind of defense was not very effective because Aomine's speed had increased.

She needed Murasakibara to put more pressure on Aomine and suppress his speed.

Hearing this, Murasaki Hara turned to look at Araki Masako, then nodded silently.

Murasakibara has quick reactions, and even though she is a little inferior in speed, her height and long arms allow her to exert enough influence within the three-second zone.
