Surpassing Noshiro Technical High School’s efficient basketball
Prefectural Noshiro Industry will play against Kyushu Gakuin in the first round of the Winter Cup. It was a development that led most of the game, but at the end it was swallowed by the opponent’s momentum and lost in reverse. It will disappear in the first round.
Kyushu Gakuin has been slow since the start, probably because it has won the championship 19 times in the past and was pressured by the name of Noshiro Technical High School, a traditional school where graduates such as Yuta Tabuse have big names. I carry a large amount of behind. Although he recovered from there, the match progressed with the development of being pushed out after chasing.
Kyushu Gakuin is developing an “offensive” defense, such as stopping the start of Noshiro Technical High School with zone defense, quick rotation from the double team, and aggressively aiming for steel. There is a risk of giving the opponent a chance to shoot easily if the gimmick is evaded, but there was a sharp start and good timing to gimmick. On the other hand, Noshiro Technical High School carried out efficient attacks with an awareness of floor balance, but the spirit of Kyushu Gakuin often surpassed efficiency.
It was Yuto Nakano who pulled the offense of Kyushu Gakuin. The speed of the vertical drive was Yuki Kawamura, the MVP last year, and he personally cuts through Noshiro Technical High School’s adherence with an attack with a low center of gravity. Nakamura fully demonstrated his characteristic, “I thought I could go because my drive was effective even in the practice games I played with Ohori and Hotoku.” If he saw that the team offense could not create a chance, he took responsibility and aggressively attacked, threatening Noshiro Technical High School.
12 points behind at the time of the 4th quarter. Nevertheless, Kyushu Gakuin will raise the amount of exercise and aggressiveness one step further from here, and strengthen the “offensive” stance in both offense and defense. From Nakano’s success in three-point shots in a row, “I’m not confident at all. I hit it myself because I couldn’t score anywhere else, but I was surprised because I didn’t expect to enter,” recalls Nomiyama. Shouma’s 3-point shot was decided, and in about 4 minutes from the start of the final quarter, he made a sudden comeback with a 13-0 run. It will be a big battle from here to the end.
And here too, Kyushu Gakuin’s “offensive” attitude works well. With 3 minutes and 15 seconds remaining, Rikiya Yamashita, who continues to play full-time, broke under the goal with a forcible drive, and after receiving contact, he screwed in the shot while cramping his leg and succeeded in winning 71-69. From here, even if he couldn’t break the defense of Noshiro Technical High School, he made a thorough play of finishing with a shot and jumping into the rebound, and took four offense rebounds in the clutch time. On the contrary, Noshiro Technical High School took good care of the ball, and the attitude of politely trying to create opportunities led to a passive turn. With a final score of 77-72, Kyushu Gakuin has won a splendid come-from-behind victory.
The field goal success rate is 42.2% for Noshiro Technical High School compared to 39.7% for Kyushu Gakuin, and the total number of Noshiro Technical High School is 45-29, which is much higher than that for rebounds. However, Kyushu Gakuin surpassed 18-4 in steal by devoting itself to offensive defense, and pulled out 25 turnovers from Noshiro Industry.
It can be said that he was able to play a lot because he had a lot of behind from the start and there was no time left, but it is a reflection point for the team. Nakano, who scored 38 points, said, “I talked to each other to put up with my own pace without greed, and I was able to overcome it, but I was able to overcome it.” We want to do 100% of our basketball and take advantage of it. “
Kyushu Gakuin will face Maebashi Ikuei in the second round tomorrow.
