If you had the opportunity to go to Shohoku High School, where would you first go?
Different people will have different answers to such questions, but for martial arts, there is only one place to go first, and that is the place where a group of basketball teenagers sweat their youth - the basketball gym.
Shohoku High School is a prefectural high school. Although the physical facilities are not as good as many private schools, there is one thing that is definitely comparable to private schools, and that is the area.
Shohoku High School is very large. The campus is surrounded by low walls, and the green fence next to the wall is full of cherry blossom trees. At this time of year, the cherry blossoms in the school are blooming brilliantly. As soon as you look at it, your eyes are filled with pink romance.
The basketball hall is located in the southeast corner of the Xiangbei campus. The basketball hall is very large and has three doors. One is the main entrance, facing the school's playground, a back door, connected by a winding path, and a side door, directly connected to the Xiangbei High School. The teaching buildings are connected. Sometimes there are basketball-related courses during school physical education classes. Students can walk through the corridor and go directly from the teaching building to the basketball gym.
In early spring, the weather was still a little cool, and the students walking on campus were all wearing autumn clothes.
I don’t know if it’s a characteristic of the neon country. Even though the weather is still a little cool, the girls’ school uniforms are still short skirts. I don’t know if the thin layer of stockings can bring warmth to those girls.
"That's great. High school students are indeed different from junior high school students!"
Wu Dao looked at the "scenery" that caught his eye and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Soon, Wu Dao passed through the playground and arrived at the basketball gym.
Standing at the door of the basketball stadium, Wu Dao heard the sounds coming from the stadium. Early in the morning, someone seemed to be playing ball in the stadium?
Opening the door, the venues in Xiangbei came into view.
In the arena, there was a group of people playing a half-court three-on-three game. There were six people on both sides of the court. There were two teenagers standing on the edge of the court, dribbling the ball boredly and watching. The game on the field.
"Oh~ Is there anyone playing basketball early in the morning? The basketball atmosphere is quite good!"
Jinguji Budo did not change his shoes at the door. While watching the game on the field, he walked towards the two teenagers on the sidelines.
"Hey, senior, do you guys play ball?"
"You are two people now, right?"
"Add one more. I'm not very good at fighting. You can lead me and add another group."
Jinguji Budo walked up to the two teenagers on the sidelines, patted the two men's shoulders lightly, and said with a smile. The two people's attention was focused on the court, and they didn't even notice that Wu Dao had come to the court.
"Huh? What if you don't know how to play ball..."
The young man who was patted on the shoulder by Martial Arts shrugged his shoulders and got rid of Martial Arts' hands that patted his shoulders. He spoke impatiently and at the same time slowly turned his head back, wanting to see who was so ignorant and incompetent. Want to add a group to play ball?
But before he finished speaking, his eyes were blocked by a dark shadow, making his words choke in his throat.
Raising his head, the young man saw clearly the young man standing behind him.
"So... so tall!" The young man raised his head and looked at Jinguji Martial Arts in a daze. He couldn't help but exclaimed in his heart. His height only reached Martial Arts' chest. The moment he turned around, he couldn't help but sigh. You can't see Wu Dao's face.
"You are..." Jinguji Budo also saw this young man clearly. Unexpectedly, the first person he met when he came to the arena was actually an acquaintance!
"Uh, hello, do you want to add one more person? We happen to be short of one person! Just add you!"
"My name is Ryota Miyagi. You don't need to call me senior, I'm a freshman!"
The boy who was patted on the shoulder by Budo was Miyagi Ryota. At this time, Miyagi Ryota was only about 160cm tall, and his skin was as dark as a child who walked out of the mountains. However, Ryota's dress is very fashionable, with curly brown hair and earrings. Instead of wearing the school's uniform black uniform, he is wearing his own sweatshirt.
"Miyagi Ryota! Hello, my name is Jinguji Budo, and I am a judo player!"
Budo said with a smile and stretched out a hand towards Miyagi Ryota. Budo did not expect that on the first day of school, he would meet Miyagi Ryota before he officially joined the basketball team.
Miyagi Ryota subconsciously held the hand extended by Budo and murmured: "You are actually a judo player. You must be very strong in judo competitions."
"Haha, just so-so, just for fun." Wu Dao smiled and said nothing more. Just when Budo and Miyagi Ryota were talking, the boy standing next to Miyagi Ryota also turned around and looked over.
It was only then that Martial Arts noticed this young man.
"Hey, he's an acquaintance too!" Wu Dao looked at the other person's face and smiled to himself.
"Well, do you want to join a group to play basketball? I also want to play basketball for a while." Tsunoda Satoru closed his eyes, oh, no, squinting his eyes is wrong, he tried his best to open his eyes and looked at Budo and Miyagi, and whispered said.
This guy's eyes are really too thin, even thinner than a bulldog's. Martial Arts really doesn't know whether this guy has his eyes closed or open. With a pair of eyes like this, you will definitely not be noticed when you look at a beautiful woman on the street!
"Oh, hello, Tsunoda-san."
Wu Dao nodded, said with a smile, and then shouted to the two teams playing on the court: "Seniors, let's add a group!"
"The three of us are not very good at fighting, let's add a team!"
The sound of martial arts attracted the attention of several people who were playing basketball. These people were in the second and third years of Xiangbei High School. They were playing three-on-three for a while to relieve their boredom before the morning practice. Of course, they would not refuse the request of martial arts. What a shame, why would you refuse such an interesting thing?
But when they looked towards Budo and others on the sidelines, they immediately noticed Jinguji Budo standing behind Miyagi Ryota and Tsunoda Satoru. There was nothing they could do, this guy was too tall!
"What a tall guy. Are you a freshman this year? Looking at his height, he can compare with Akagi!"
"Let them fight with each other? If they are freshmen this year, such a tall guy can add considerable combat effectiveness to the team!"
Several senior team members stopped the game involuntarily, and the six of them gathered around and communicated in low voices. Then, a senior came out and said with a smile:
"If you want to fight too, just come up and fight for a while. Our group just needs a break."
"Play six balls, lose, change teams, do you all understand the rules of basketball? Do you need me to explain them to you?"
The senior from Xiangbei was quite easy to talk to. While talking to Budao and others, he waved to several of his teammates to signal them to leave.
"No, no, no, I know a little, I know a little."
When Wu Dao heard this, he waved his hands and said politely.
"Let's go, the three of us together." As Wu Dao spoke, he took off his coat without changing his pants. He casually placed his coat and bag on the sidelines, and then walked into the stadium.
Different from martial arts, Miyagi Ryota and Tsunoda Satoru were wearing sportswear. It seemed that these two people had long planned to come to the arena to play.
"Is it okay for you to wear these pants? The school pants are not loose, so don't get hurt." Although Miyagi Ryota is dressed like a delinquent, he has a good heart, and he did not forget to remind Martial Arts.
"It's okay, just have fun."
"I'll stand on the inside lane. It seems like my height is quite an advantage."
Wu Dao spread his arms, stretched them briefly, and walked towards the basket. Miyagi Ryota looked at the martial arts without saying anything. He looked at each other and Tsunoda Satoru and said:
"I play defender, let me hold the ball."
Of course Tsunoda had no objection to Miyagi Ryota's words. He knew how much he weighed. Although he had never seen Miyagi Ryota play, from Miyagi's confident look, Tsunoda was still willing to believe that he was a Can play ball.
"They're all new faces! First graders, let's get started!"
The three people remaining on the court generously threw the ball to Miyagi Ryota, and then each found someone to mark and spread out.
The man guarding Jinguji Budo is a third-year senior who is about 180cm tall, a little taller than Tsunoda, but standing in front of him, he is a whole lot shorter.
"So tall, this guy is taller than Akagi!" This senior has been with Akagi for a long time. Comparing the height of Martial Arts and Akagi, he can roughly estimate it just by standing in front of Martial Arts. The height of martial arts.
Standing in front of Martial Arts, the senior put away all his feelings of looking down on his opponent, and became serious and serious.
"Let's start!" Miyagi Ryota took the ball and walked to the center circle. After handing it to the defensive players for inspection, Miyagi took the basketball back.
The moment he took possession of the basketball, Miyagi Ryota started to break through without any pause. Even though Miyagi is short, his dribbling speed is really fast. In the blink of an eye of the defender, Miyagi Ryota has already broken through him and is approaching the three-point line with the ball.
Seeing that Miyagi had completed the breakthrough, Budo did not stupidly continue to stand under the basket. Instead, he changed his direction and walked along the baseline to the mid-range position, leaving the basket free and giving Miyagi Ryota enough opportunity to attack the basket. space.
Miyagi's breakthrough was so eye-catching that the three Shohoku seniors were all attracted to Miyagi. There was no gap at all between Jinguji Martial Arts and Jinguji Martial Arts who had left the inside line, but they all moved towards Miyagi.
In their view, Miyagi Ryota, who possesses outstanding breakthrough capabilities, is worthy of their precautions.
Budo originally thought that Miyagi would attack the basket after the breakthrough, and even if he failed to score, he would still be able to draw a foul. In a three-on-three basketball game, there is no problem with this offensive option.
However, what was beyond Budo's expectation was that Miyagi Ryota, who had completed the breakthrough, seemed to have no intention of attacking the basket. After noticing Budao's position, he gave the ball directly to Budao's hands before the double-team was formed.
"Passed!"
"What a quick pass!"
Miyagi's intention of passing the ball was actually quite obvious. Several Shohoku seniors noticed it and tried to intercept it. However, Miyagi passed the ball very quickly. In the blink of an eye, the basketball reached Budo's hands from the outside.
"The receiving position is very comfortable and the pass is good!"
As soon as he picked up the basketball, Budo discovered that Miyagi's passing ability was quite good. He sighed inwardly, grabbed the ball with his right hand, quickly raised it, and threw it towards the basket casually.
"Whoa!" With a soft sound, the basketball hit the net.
Several Shohoku players on the court looked at the martial arts and then at Miyagi Ryota, feeling a little unbelievable for a moment.
Too easy, too easy to score.
"I actually got in, good luck~" Budao breathed a sigh of relief, said with a smile, and then gave a thumbs up to Miyagi.
"Fight hard and guard your own people!"
The third-year Xiangbei student who missed the martial arts clapped his hands and reminded the team members. Then the defensive attention shifted to Miyagi Ryota.
From his perspective, what can be seen is Miyagi Ryota's sharp breakthrough. As for the martial arts of scoring, it is just a piece of cake. The starting point and rhythm of the attack are still in the hands of Miyagi Ryota.
Second ball.
It was still Miyagi Ryota who kicked off the ball.
If a person has an absolute speed advantage, then when passing people, he can use the same method to pass the defender a hundred times without changing the way of breakthrough.
This is the situation with Miyagi Ryota's current matchup.
The player defending Miyagi simply couldn't keep up with Miyagi Ryota's starting breakthrough. Regardless of whether he was facing left or right, Miyagi's breakthrough speed was quite fast. The player who was guarding him has been passed through a sieve.
Facing Miyagi who had completed the breakthrough, the other two players on the defensive side had to cover up the defense. This would leave Budo or Tsunoda Satoru open, thus giving Budo or Tsunoda Goku an opportunity to shoot from an open position. Chance.
Miyagi has a very good mind. After a breakthrough, he often finds Budo's position immediately and puts the ball into Budo's hands. As a three-on-three center, Budo will often move to the mid-range position when Miyagi breaks through. This makes it impossible for the insider who defends Budo to go out, or not to go out.
The opponent wanted to bet that Wu Dao would not make a shot, but after five consecutive goals, they understood that Wu Dao said he couldn't hit, which was nonsense.
Easily win the next round.
After scoring 6 points, Wu Dao didn't even feel anything. He threw six balls casually, and then went to the next group. It was the first time that Wu Dao played so easily in a three-on-three game.
The second team came on the field. The situation they faced was actually no different from the first group. They were unable to defend against Miyagi Ryota. Soon, the second group was also defeated by Miyagi's sudden scoring style. , six goals, Miyagi scored one by himself, Tsunoda scored one by eating a cake under the basket, and the remaining four were all scored by martial arts shots.
Both groups of people later realized that it was wrong to shoot the martial arts mid-range shot, but even if they were defended, the martial arts shooting was still without pressure. The height was a hurdle that even the defensive martial arts players could not overcome. In the eyes of these people, Shooting over the head, martial arts doesn't even require jumping.
"Easy, easy!" A good three-on-three practice match forced Miyagi and Budo into shooting practice.
While Shabu Dao and others were playing on the court, the Xiangbei players who came to participate in morning training arrived at the gym one after another. As soon as these people arrived, their attention was attracted by the three-on-three practice in the stadium.
"Add one group, add one group." Such voices are heard endlessly. Budo, Miyagi, and Tsunoda Satoru didn't know how many new trios they had seen on the court. No matter how many groups were added to this practice, the three of them were on the court anyway and never went off. .
Soon, Takenori Akagi and Konobu Mugure arrived. They did not add another group, but stood silently on the sidelines and watched the game.
As more and more Xiangbei players came, soon, this small half of the field was surrounded by people.
When Hisashi Mitsui and Oishi Chiba came to the gym and saw so many people gathered in the half court, they were still confused. He didn't expect that the training enthusiasm of the team members was so low today, and none of them started practicing. They actually gathered together.
But when Hisashi Mitsui pushed aside the crowd and saw Jinguji Budo in the stadium giving "military training" to his players, the entire face of the current captain of Shohoku turned livid.
A group of high school students were beaten to pieces by Jinguji Martial Arts and a group of freshmen who had just graduated from junior high school. As the captain of Shohoku, how could Hisashi Mitsui still look good after seeing this scene?
"Eh? Mistress~"
"You, the captain of Xiangbei, are incompetent. None of these players are good enough."
"I was beaten to death by this kid."
Jinguji Budo was still playing in the court, but he still instantly spotted Mitsui Hisashi who had squeezed out of the crowd. He casually threw the ball towards the basket, and with the crisp sound of the net, he pointed not far away. Miyagi Ryota, who was standing there, smiled and shouted towards Mitsui Hisashi.
Budo didn't have the slightest sense of being a junior, and he aroused hatred for Miyagi Ryota as soon as he opened his mouth, directly offending all the players present.
