As Sendō scored the ball against the defensive pressure of Fujii Masao and Chiba Oishi, the rest area of Akizuki High School was enveloped in cheers.
On the contrary, the rest area of Takeishi Middle School was silent, and even Takeshi Middle School students who were watching the game on the sidelines became quiet. The waves of sound that were coming one after another were abruptly stopped. It was like someone had strangled his neck and he couldn't make a sound.
Sendō's goal dealt a huge blow to Takeishi Middle School's morale.
At the referee's signal, Sendao was sent to the free throw line. At Mitsui Hisashi's signal, Budo came to the side and participated in the battle for rebounds.
When Sendō made a free throw, there were three people from Takeishi Junior High School participating in the scramble for rebounds. Fujii Masao and Chiba Oishi guarding the inside, as well as the Jinguji Budō trio.
Wu Dao stood on the side with fewer people. Next to him was No. 4 from Qiuyue High School, who was the power forward and the captain.
Wu Dao bent slightly and looked at Xiandao on the free throw line, a little lost in thought.
"Mitsui Hisashi is only a second-year junior high school student now. Sendao should be a first-year junior high school student like me."
"A few months ago, he and I were still primary school students, but this kid was actually able to score such a goal."
"It's really incredible!"
Jinguji Martial Arts felt a little emotional, and the impact Xiandao had just made on him was not small. Strictly speaking, Sendao was actually just a primary school student, because it had only been ten days since he entered junior high school and officially started his junior high school career. Before that, Sendao was considered an elementary school student.
At this moment, Sendao got the ball given by the referee and patted it on the spot, trying to find a rhythm. The collision just now had some impact on him, and this time the free throw fairy seemed to be a lot more cautious. Wu Dao also came to his senses, and while preparing to fight for rebounds, he thought about defensive strategies.
Obviously, Sendao has just told the people at Takeishi Middle School
"The goal just now reminded me that the traditional one-mark-and-four-defense strategy is still not enough to deal with such a person."
"Although double teams can be formed perfectly, his personal ability far exceeds that of Fujii and Chiba."
"If we let him rush into the paint and deliver food, it won't be much different."
"We have to guard him on the outside. We would rather let him shoot than let him go inside."
"In the end, he is just a junior high school student, and his shooting percentage must be limited."
"As long as there is enough interference, it doesn't matter if I shoot. My physical exertion will be great, and his physical exertion will not be small, and the hit rate will not be particularly outrageous."
Just as Budao was secretly thinking about the defensive strategy, Sendao shot, and the basketball flew out of Sendao's hands and flew towards the basket.
In an instant, the man from Qiuyue High School next to Wu Dao directly pressed against Wu Dao's side, firmly blocking Wu Dao behind him. Wu Dao's strength is not as good as his opponent's. Although he is nearly 5cm taller than his opponent, due to this position disadvantage, Wu Dao's height advantage is directly compensated.
"He's stuck!" No. 4 from Qiuyue High School felt the power behind him and looked happy. However, the next second, he felt a lightness behind him, and the martial arts behind him seemed to disappear.
clang!
There was a soft sound, and the basketball hit the front edge of the basket and bounced back directly towards Xiandao.
"rebound!"
"Quickly guard against that No. 13!"
The basketball collapsed out of the frame, and Masayoshi Anzai saw it clearly off the court. Sendō who shot the ball quickly rushed towards the basket after the basketball hit the frame. From the look on his face, he actually wanted to commit suicide.
But when Masayoshi Anzai shouted, it was obviously too late. The basketball flew straight towards Sendou. Masao Fujii and Oishi Chiba, who were guarding the backboard, were still stuck under the basket and did not realize what happened. .
"We got it!" Xiandao looked at the basketball flying towards him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. However, the next second, his smile froze on his face.
A white No. 15 suddenly appeared in front of him and stuck him behind him. The unprepared Xiandao bumped into this familiar back again, and his mind was buzzing.
"Quick break!" Wu Dao grabbed the ball in front of Xiandao, raised the basketball with one hand and shouted, throwing the ball directly towards the front court. Mitsui Hisashi, who had been waiting near the three-point line for a long time, immediately started, passing through several Qiuyue High School players, and ran on the front line.
"Back on defense! Back on defense!" Shingo Katori roared while waving his hands off the court. On the court, Hisashi Mitsui and Iekawa Maeda from Takeishi Middle School did not wait for Fujii and the other three and rushed directly into the half of Akizuki High School.
As for the Qiuyue Affiliated High School, there was only one team member who could return to defense in time at this moment.
After playing two-on-one in the frontcourt and teasing the defenders with several passes, the basketball was easily put into the basket by Hisashi Mitsui without any suspense. The other Qiuyue players who returned to defense could only look at Mitsui Hisashi's back, unable to do anything.
"That guy noticed it!" Xiandao silently retreated to his own half, a little surprised and a little surprised. What he thought was a perfect plan to chase points ended up costing him a handful of rice.
The scoreboard changed continuously, and the score of the two teams reached 21:28, and the point difference was still 7 points. Sendō's successful layup in a string of four was worth two points, and Hisashi Mitsui's fast break layup was also two points. It's not because Xiandao has difficulty scoring that he can score one more point.
Basketball is such a sport.
"Defend, defend!"
Mitsui Hisashi quickly returned to defense after a layup. While returning to defense, he shouted to his teammates. At this time, his role on the court had already replaced Masao Fujii as the captain.
When Mitsui Hisashi returned to the defense and passed by Jinguji Temple, Mitsui Hisashi slowed down and reminded him softly:
"The ball was intercepted well just now."
"But number 13 cannot be easily put inside."
"give it to you."
Maybe it was because Sendō's goal just now showed his terrifying strength, or maybe it was because Budō had done a very good defensive job before that. Mitsui Hisashi subconsciously felt that only Budō in their team could limit Sendō's offense.
"Well, before the end of the first half, I will find a way to stop him."
"Speaking of which, the hot guy and I are only on a 50-50 basis."
Wu Dao glanced at the time and said with a smile.
There are now less than thirty seconds left before the end of the first half. If the pace is tightened, Qiuyue High School will only have one chance to attack. What Martial Arts had to do was to contain Xiandao in the last thirty seconds of the first half.
"Five...five...on?"
Although Mitsui Shou didn't know the meaning of these words, he could understand it after a little taste. He was a little speechless about his confidence in martial arts.
"You, a kid who can't dribble a ball well, are still going 50-50 with that guy?" Mitsui Hisashi glanced sideways at Budo and silently moved to his defensive position, not wanting to continue talking to Budo.
Qiuyue High School attacked, and the basketball was passed into Xiandao's hands early in the half.
Xiandao was not in a hurry, and slowly came to the frontcourt with the ball. As he advanced, the entire arena became quiet, and everyone looked at Xiandao with bated breath.
"The Immortal Way is very strong, and it is only valuable if I protect a guy like you!"
