Mitobe is 186cm tall, only 1cm shorter than Iwamura Tsutomu. Although the two have a 7kg weight difference, Mitobe is not weak, especially in the lower body.

Last year, Mitobe’s offensive means were single, mainly relying on low-post lobs and shooting.

Although he has a certain ability to shoot mid-range shots, his accuracy is average and he doesn’t shoot many times.

Therefore, Masakuni did not take this third or even fourth scorer in the team seriously.

However, this time, Mitobe’s sudden hook technique surprised and confused Iwamura Tsutomu who was defending him.

A few minutes later, the score difference remained at 12 to 14 points.

At this time, not only was Matsumoto Yuken a little anxious, but even the audience who cheered for Masakuni were a little anxious.

In the first quarter, the score difference of 12 points was beaten by Seirin, but that was fine, because the player on the court was Seirin’s strongest force.

But in the second quarter, Seirin, who was replaced by 4 substitutes, was in control of the situation steadily, which was a bit hard to say.

With 3 minutes left in the second quarter, Aida Reiko replaced Baizhe for safety reasons.

Fukuda Hiroshi replaced Baizhe.

Baizhe’s tactical position in the team is too important, and Reiko Aida didn’t want to see Baizhe’s performance in the afternoon game due to physical reasons.

The closer it gets to the last critical moment of the game, the less room for error.

Moreover, Reiko Aida also wanted all the substitutes to play to adapt to the pressure of playing against a strong team like Masakuni.

If Masakuni catches up with the score, she will send Baizhe to regain control of the situation.

Therefore, Seirin put up a strange formation of all substitutes on the court. Masakuni took advantage of this time to chase and attack fiercely, and Mitobe was a little overwhelmed.

Fortunately, there were only three minutes left in the second quarter, and Mitsuki Furihata was a positional point guard who was good at suppressing the rhythm.

Therefore, until the end of the second quarter, Seirin was only 2 points behind Masakuni, who came from behind, with a score of 52:54.

But under Masakuni’s constantly aggressive defense, except for Fukuda Hiroshi, who played for three minutes, the other players consumed a lot of physical energy.

“Bai Zhe, are you ok with your physical fitness?”

Aida Reiko looked at the substitutes in the rest area who were sweating and panting, frowned and asked

“I’m fine.”

Bai Zhe nodded.

Although Jinchuan Zhiji’s crazy dog-like defense made him consume a little more energy than in the previous game, this consumption was just a drizzle for him who had the body of a demon king.

“Then you will replace Mitobe, Kagami, how is your physical condition?”

“”Coach, I can do it!”

Just as Aida Reiko turned to ask Kagami, Mitobe, who was standing with his back to the towel, suddenly spoke up. Mitobe was gentle, kind and quiet, and was basically silent in the team. Unexpectedly, she was so stubborn this time, which surprised everyone in the Seirin team.

“Coach, I think Mitobe-senpai is good.”

“Senior Mitobe is good at defense, and now he has a skilled hook technique, and he also has good skills and awareness in pick-and-roll.”

“On the court, with me holding him back, he won’t consume too much physical energy, so there won’t be any big problems.”

At this time, Bai Zhe spoke.

Chenglin’s bench lineup is weak. Before Muji Teppei returns to the team, the inside position must be supported by Mitobe as soon as possible.

Kagami’s height and bounce seem to make him a good inside player.

But his playing style is offensive, a bit similar to the playing style of power forward Chris Bosh.

Although he can play as a center, he will not be able to adapt to the local environment in the high school league.

Chris Bosh in the post-Raptors period can be said to be the league’s well-deserved first power forward in the East at that time.

Even in the entire league, only Duncan, Garnett, and Nowitzki can suppress him.

And Stoudemire, who is in the limelight, is at most the same as him.

But even such a top All-Star power forward in the league, after playing as a center in the Heat, completely transformed into Bo Yiban.

Although this is a factor of the times and a component of tactical sacrifice.

But in general, before the entire small ball tactics are completely perfected, a power forward like Kagami playing as a center for a long time will only backfire.

“Okay! Then Bai Zhe will replace Kawahara Koichi, Mitobe, the inside line is handed over to you.”

Aida Reiko saw that Mitobe looked very serious, so she didn’t say anything more and directly let Bai Zhe replace Kawahara Koichi, and Kagami continued to rest.

“”Coach, I want to play!”

Heizi, who had not played a single game since the I.H. preliminaries, suddenly couldn’t resist the urge to play and said,

“No! You are a secret weapon, save it for the afternoon match against Shutoku!”

Aida Reiko ignored Kuroko’s resentful eyes and made a direct decision.

In the second half, Baizhe came back and the game was back under Seirin’s control.

Although Mito’s offensive efficiency was much lower than the previous quarter, Baizhe was on the outside to contain Masahiro’s defense.

His physical strength and space were also liberated to a certain extent.

At this time, Matsumoto Yuken saw Baizhe on the court and changed the tactics again.

It became that Baizhe would be double-teamed by two or three people as long as he held the ball.

He did this not to reverse the victory, but simply to narrow the score difference and not lose too badly.

In the last quarter, Masahiro replaced the substitutes and surrendered first.

Seirin was also happy to do so and replaced Baizhe with Kawahara Koichi again.

In the end, Seirin defeated Masahiro 114 to 108 and qualified for the finals.
