Many of the freshmen who joined Shohoku High School this year were familiar with martial arts. In addition to Miyagi Ryota and Tsunoda Satoru, who had played together before, Yasuda Yasharu and Shiozaki Tetsuji also appeared one after another.
When I was warming up in martial arts, I looked at the familiar faces and felt that the blood in my body had begun to boil.
Even if it is just a practice match, it has a different meaning to martial arts.
The fifteen minutes of warm-up time passed quickly. For the freshmen, Mumu Gongyan arranged for a group of first-year students, headed by Jinguji Martial Arts.
The remaining teammates are Miyagi Ryota, Yasuda Yasharu, Shiozaki Tetsuji and Tsunoda Satoru.
First-year Miyagi Ryota is 163cm tall and weighs 57kg, and plays as a defender. Yasuda Yasharu, who is 161cm tall and weighs 55kg, also plays as a defender. Tetsuji Shiozaki, who is 168cm tall and weighs 58kg, instead appears as a small forward. Tsunoda Satoru is 177cm tall and weighs 70kg. He is the starting power forward in the first grade.
As for Jinguji Martial Arts, with a height of 195.6cm and a weight of 83.5kg, he is of course a center forward~
"This guy in martial arts, because I am so familiar with him, I tend to ignore this guy's talent."
"Now when we stand with these first-year students, we can truly see this kid's terrifying talent!"
After warming up, the players preparing for the game lined up in the center circle of the court. Mitsui Hisashi looked at the martial arts company standing in the queue of new students and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Of the five freshmen who started the game, three of them were less than 170cm tall. Standing next to Jinguji Budo, they were simply reduced to background. The upperclassmen players all focused on Jinguji Martial Arts. As for the other first-year players, they didn't even take a look.
In a school like Shohoku High School, it is really illegal for a freshman in Budo to have such physical talent.
Obviously, Wu Dao is a whole circle bigger than the other team members.
"Let's jump the ball!" The referee was a senior. After blowing the whistle, he asked the two teams to take their positions.
Jinguji Budo and Takenori Akagi stood in the middle circle. Seeing Akagi's gorilla face, Budo couldn't help but smile.
Just when the game was about to start, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor connecting the gymnasium and the teaching building. Not long after, a group of Xiangbei students wearing school uniforms appeared on the court. After arriving at the gym, they silently dispersed around the basketball court, watching the game.
Since Hisashi Mitsui joined the Shohoku Basketball Club, there have been more basketball enthusiasts in the school. Many of the students who came to watch the game came for Hisashi Mitsui, and many of them were in the second or third grade. girl.
With a handsome and sunny appearance, and being the captain of the basketball team, Hisashi Mitsui was quite well-known in the second and third grades, and was even the favorite of many little girls.
"Shohoku High School Basketball Team!"
"Looks very strong."
Ayako stood in the center of the crowd, curiously looking at the players on the court. Her eyes quickly swept over Miyagi Ryota, and then focused on Jinguji Budou and Akagi Takenori who were jumping the ball in the middle. .
There is no way, even on the basketball court, the heights of Martial Arts and Akagi are quite eye-catching.
"Beep!" A sharp whistle sounded, and as the whistle fell, the basketball was thrown into the air.
"ah!
!
"The moment the basketball entered the air, Takenori Akagi jumped up and wanted to pass the ball to Hisashi Mitsui. However, just when his fingertips were about to touch the basketball, a big white hand quickly surpassed him. Before he could, he smacked the basketball with his palm and shot the ball towards Miyagi's position.
"What!?" Akagi was shocked when he saw the basketball suddenly disappear. He had never imagined that he could lose the jump ball in the team's practice match?
"Ryota~Pass the ball~" The moment Jinguji Budo won the jump ball, he ran towards the frontcourt, shouting for Miyagi to pass the ball.
However, unlike the three-on-three game, Miyagi Ryota did not give the ball to Budo's hands immediately. Instead, he took the ball across the center line and then gave the basketball to Budo's hands.
But when he passed the ball to Budo, Hisashi Mitsui and his senior team had all completed their defense and successfully positioned themselves.
Mitsui Hisashi and the others adopted a conventional 2-1-2 zone defense position, with Takenori Akagi standing in the paint area under the basket. The remaining four players stood outside the feet of both sides of the paint area and on both sides of the free throw line.
This type of zone defense is generally designed to better protect rebounds, consolidate the defense in the penalty area, and prevent opponents from breaking through. If Wu Dao, who is holding the ball, tries to attack, he will face a double-team from two or even three people.
However, it is different from the traditional 2-1-2 position. Mitsui Hisashi is standing closer to the three-point line. The reason why he is standing so outside is that Jinguji Budo is approaching with the ball at this time. to the three-point line.
"This guy Martial Arts is different from ordinary first-year students. Not only do we have to prevent him from breaking through, we also have to prevent him from shooting three-pointers."
"There are Akagi and the others inside to help defend. When defending, I focus on interfering with Budo's shooting and driving him into the inside without losing his position."
"There is no need to pay attention to the other first-year students for the time being. We must completely suppress the martial arts first!"
Mitsui Shou thought so in his heart, and then raised his position, raising his hands high to try to block the martial arts' sight.
"2-1-2 zone defense, the most common defensive position in the NBA."
"If we are facing ordinary junior high school students, this kind of joint defense is enough to stifle the opponent's offensive firepower."
"It's really easy for average scorers to have their efficiency affected when faced with such a defense."
"But...this is based on the fact that the double team can be formed perfectly!"
Jinguji Budo held the ball and briefly observed the positions of all the players. When he saw Tsunoda Satoru heading inside, he immediately shouted loudly.
"Kakuda! Leave the position close to me free, don't affect my attack!"
In this case, if Budo shouts out to his teammates on the field, he will definitely be greeted cordially. Often only people who play alone will say such words.
But on this court, Tsunoda Satoru immediately said "Sorry" after hearing Budo's words and then ran out of the paint along the baseline obediently, appearing quite obedient.
As soon as Satoru Tsunoda left the paint with his front foot, Jinguji Budo changed his dribbling rhythm with his back foot, dropped his center of gravity, and started a breakthrough.
Mitsui Hisao had the intention to let Budo enter the inside line in order to form a double-team with Akagi, Chiba Oishi and others. However, after Budo successfully broke through, although Mitsui Hisashi had the intention to catch up, he was pulled away by Budo for a long distance.
"The breakthrough speed is so fast! It's faster than the previous three-on-three match!" Mitsui Shou was shocked and didn't dare to stay any longer and chased with all his strength.
Seeing the martial arts breakthrough, Takenori Akagi on the inside and Chiba Oishi on the baseline left their original positions and double-teamed towards the martial arts. However, Martial Arts never gave them a chance to form an encirclement. When they reached the mid-range, they directly stopped for a jumper and shot quickly.
"Dang~" No matter what kind of pitcher he is, the hit rate cannot be 100%. No, Jinguji Budo, who was full of confidence, missed the jump shot. The basketball hit the basket and collapsed outwards.
"rebound!"
Hisashi Mitsui saw it clearly and quickly reminded his teammates. At the same time, he rushed inside to grab the rebound. Takenori Akagi and Oishi Chiba, who were relatively close to the basket, quickly joined forces to protect the three-point area under the basket. Satoru Tsunoda, who wanted to grab a rebound, had not yet been able to enter the paint area and was directly beaten by Akagi. Stuck outside.
Chiba, who had an absolute advantage, successfully put the rebound into his arms. However, just as he had just picked up the basketball, a thin figure flashed in front of his eyes. The next second, Chiba Oishi felt that his hands were empty. The basketball has already disappeared before it can be heated up.
"When did you come here?!" Chiba Oishi looked at Miyagi Ryota who had completed the steal not far away and was raising the ball to shoot. He was surprised and quickly rushed towards Miyagi.
"Hey!" Seeing Qianba Dashi flying up, Miyagi's little black face showed a bright smile, his raised hand quickly fell down, and the basketball hit the ground.
"Fake move?!" Chiba quickly turned around and saw that Jinguji Budo had moved near the paint area and successfully received Miyagi's pass.
Budo, who caught the ball with both hands, had Takenori Akagi with his back. When he received the ball, he turned around instantly and broke through toward the basket.
This time, the starting speed of the martial arts is not very fast. At least with Takenori Akagi's pace, he can keep up with all his strength. However, Akagi has just picked up the speed, and the Jinguji martial arts that entered the basket suddenly stopped. After taking a step, he deceived Akagi with a feint on the spot, then turned around and quickly distanced himself, easily hitting the ball into the net.
"Well done, Ryota!" Jinguji Budo smiled and high-fived Miyagi Ryota in celebration, and then began to return to defense.
"Chiba, serve!" Hisashi Mitsui took a closer look at the inside steps that his martial arts showed just now, and shouted towards Chiba Oishi with a solemn expression.
Since the previous three-on-three half-time match, Jinguji Budo and Takenori Akagi have faced off a lot. After so many times against Mitsui Hisashi, I found that they are also tall over 190cm, Jinguji Budo. The dexterity of his steps is more than one level higher than that of Akagi.
Not to mention Takenori Akagi, it is not that easy even for Hisashi Mitsui to catch up with martial arts.
You must know that both Takenori Akagi and Hisashi Mitsui have grown into famous basketball players in the prefecture. They can easily defeat their martial arts. Their personal strength may have reached the national level, and the high school national level .
His goal did not affect Hisashi Mitsui's offensive rhythm. After all, this was just the beginning.
The one guarding Mitsui Hisagi was Miyagi Ryota. Although the short Miyagi was indeed very fast, he was at a huge disadvantage standing in front of Mitsui Hisashi.
Hisashi Mitsui didn't play anything fancy and just used his body to forcefully eat Miyagi Ryota without any pressure at all. After successfully reaching a comfortable distance, Mitsui Hisashi directly shot the ball himself, instantly tying the score.
Budo inside looked at Hisashi Mitsui who scored easily, and then looked at his four teammates, and his mood suddenly became much heavier.
Too short, these martial arts teammates are too short, and it is too difficult to defend against the offense of the senior team.
The offense and defense transitioned, and it was the first-year team's turn to attack.
When Budao realized that it was difficult for their team to defend against the offense of the senior team, Budao immediately changed their style of play. In the new offensive round, Budao no longer pulled to the outside to catch the ball and attack.
After all, mid-range shots have a hit rate, and Wu Dao needs to use a more certain scoring method to score the team.
Miyagi Ryota advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and Budo followed the trend and entered the inside. Chiba Oishi and Takenori Akagi formed a faint encirclement on Budo. Chiba even wanted to go around to defend, not wanting to give Budo a chance to catch the ball.
However, Miyagi Ryota's pass was obviously faster than Chiba's movement. Before Chiba started to move, Budo had already received the basketball in the paint.
"Boy! Come on horseback!"
Takenori Akagi seemed to be provoking, but also seemed to be cheering himself up. After saying this, Akagi's chest was directly pressed against Takenori Akagi's body. Budo, who was holding the ball inside, glanced at Chiba's position. While blasting the ball on the spot, he pressed his body hard against Takenori Akagi's body to test. Akagi's strength.
Don't tell me, a gorilla is a gorilla after all, he is very powerful!
After a test, Martial Arts has no idea of a strong attack. It's not that he can't score with a strong attack, but if he wrestles with Akagi, his physical energy will be greatly consumed. Akagi can only defend and leave the offense to Mitsui Hisashi and others, but Martial Arts Bian, no.
Wu Dao, who didn't want to compete with Akagi, still used his old method. After another tentative impact, Wu Dao turned around in an instant, passed Takenori Akagi with another step, and then raised the ball to shoot. This time Akagi finally learned to be smart. A little bit, just maintaining a high center of gravity without taking off directly.
But this time the martial arts was not a fake move. The martial arts of holding the ball with both hands switched to one hand, and a small hook under the basket directly sent the basketball into the net.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk~"
"I can't keep up! Old man, you can't keep up!"
The goal scorer Budao retreated while wagging his finger towards Akagi, making a soft sound in his mouth, and said to Akagi with a smile.
Ridicule, naked ridicule.
Although Takenori Akagi was angry, he had no way to deal with martial arts.
His speed is indeed not the slowest among the big centers, but Wu Dao's speed is too fast. He is obviously very tall, but his speed is enough to stabilize him.
"Akagi, calm down."
"Martial arts are always very fast. Don't mind. I will continue to help you defend next time. This kid won't be proud for long."
Although the relationship between Chiba Oishi and Akagi was very tense at first, after getting along for such a long time, the relationship between the two has eased a lot.
Chiba Oishi comforted him, went to the bottom line and sent the ball to Mitsui Hisashi.
"Come on! Let's score another goal!" Hisashi Mitsui seemed to notice a slight change in Akagi's condition, slowed down the pace of the attack, and shouted loudly to his teammates.
The offense of the senior team is indeed much easier. Chiba Oishi raised a pick-and-roll for Mitsui Hisashi from the high position. Tsunoda Satoru and Miyagi directly missed Mitsui Hisashi because they did not change defense in time. Mitsui Hisashi had an open three-pointer. The shot was taken and the knife fell directly to their team to score three points and successfully overtaken the score.
"Uh..." Budao looked at Mitsui Hisashi who easily scored points, and for a moment he had nothing to say. He glanced at Chimu from a distance and thought to himself:
"I can only give Akagi military training. I'm afraid I won't win the game. I must vent my anger!"
