Not long after the training match started, the score between the two teams reached 5:4. The senior team led by Hisashi Mitsui held the lead with a slight advantage.
First-year ball owner, Miyagi Ryota received Budo's serve from the baseline and pushed the ball towards the frontcourt. Mitsui Hisaya, who was defending Miyagi, had no intention of going to the half court to press Miyagi. He returned to his own half early and organized a defensive line with his teammates.
It was still a 2-1-2 position, and Takenori Akagi was still the only one inside. After entering the frontcourt, Budo crossed into the inside, but he had just entered the inside, and the defensive formation of the senior team suddenly happened. Upon seeing the change, the two senior players on the baseline positions on both sides immediately shrank their positions and quickly moved towards the paint area.
"Are you all here to guard against me?"
Budao looked at Chiba Oishi and others on the bottom line and started to link up after he entered the inside line. He raised his eyebrows slightly and immediately left the inside line, thinking of walking diagonally at 45 degrees in the middle distance. As Budo moved, Mitsui Hisashi, who was originally guarding Miyagi Ryota, silently opened the distance between him and Miyagi Ryota and moved towards Budo.
Hisashi Mitsui didn't seem to worry about Miyagi Ryota's open shooting at all, and directly released Miyagi from outside the three-point line.
"Ryota, open, shoot!" Budo saw Mitsui Hisashi's movement and Miyagi who was open. Seeing Miyagi's hesitation to pass the ball, he immediately shouted loudly, and at the same time, he quickly started and rushed towards the inside. go.
Several senior players under the basket saw Wu Dao entering the inside again and immediately double-teamed Wu Dao. Akagi and Chiba Oishi worked together to block the martial arts position, and everyone looked at the basket.
Encouraged by Budo, Miyagi Ryota did not hesitate anymore, adjusted his rhythm and shot an open shot from outside the three-point line.
However, Miyagi's three-point ability is really poor. He obviously has a lot of time to aim, but the basketball's route is still ridiculously eccentric, and the power is also very strong. The arc of the basketball is very ugly, and the ball path gives people a sense of The feeling of going straight forward cannot be regarded as an arc at all.
"Snapped!"
"Dang~"
The basketball hit the backboard and bounced off the edge of the basket. Miyagi's shooting was very powerful, and the basketball bounced far away. Akagi and others who were stuck under the basket were in a worse position. On the contrary, Jinguji Budo, who was stuck outside, had excellent rebounding capabilities. condition.
"Lucky you~" Wu Dao sighed as he watched the basketball fall, and hurriedly ran forward a few steps, then leaped high and grabbed the ball in his hands.
At this time, Wu Dao was only four or five meters away from the basket.
"I'll do it!" Akagi, who was under the basket, saw Budo holding the ball in the distance and was about to step forward to defend. He heard Chiba Oishi shouting in his ear, and then saw Chiba's figure quickly coming from the inside. Rushed out.
Seeing that Chiba went to defend first, Akagi gave up the idea of chasing after him to defend the martial arts.
After winning the rebound, Budo grabbed the ball with both hands, stood on the floor with his feet spread out, and bent his body without intending to shoot. At this time, he saw Chiba Oishi stepping forward to defend, and quickly started to drop the ball. In just one step, he passed Chiba, who had a high center of gravity, and headed towards the basket.
After Budo started, his speed had completely increased. Although Takenori Akagi and another defensive player were standing inside, Budo still had no intention of slowing down and rushed towards the basket brazenly.
When he was less than two meters away from the basket, Wu Dao joined the ball and jumped into the air after one step.
Akagi, who was defending the basket, was concentrating on preparing to block Budo, but he did not expect that Budo would take off in just one step after combining the ball. When he reacted, Budo had already jumped into the air. Although Takenori Akagi jumped up hard to intercept, Akagi, who had already missed the opportunity, had no time to reach the highest point, and Budo was already approaching the basket.
"Hmph!!" The martial arts body that jumped up with all its strength directly hit Takenori Akagi's body. The powerful impact made Akagi groan.
“Bang!
"
After a loud noise, Jinguji Budo grabbed the ball with both hands and dunked the basketball into the basket. The net failed to slow down the falling speed of the basketball. The basketball flew directly from under the net, and the ball hit Takenori Akagi's head directly.
However, at this time, Akagi could not feel the feeling of the basketball hitting his head at all. After landing, he took a few steps back before barely regaining his footing. The feeling of tightness in his chest made him speechless for a long time. Come.
The impact of a martial arts slam dunk is very powerful, and Takenori Akagi's physical fitness would be difficult to adapt to after such an impact.
"Ohhhhhh, slam dunk! That's a slam dunk!"
"It's amazing. Another dunk. This guy dunked Takenori Akagi again."
"Is that guy really a first-year student? How could such a guy not be famous when he was in junior high school? Why haven't I heard of him before?"
Jinguji's martial arts slam dunk brought a strong visual impact to the audience. Even members of the Shohoku basketball team who had watched the martial arts three-on-three basketball game before couldn't help but marvel when they saw the martial arts dunk again. stand up. Not to mention that there are many students from Shohoku who are watching martial arts play for the first time.
Off the court, Mitsuyoshi Anzai looked at the framed martial arts and raised his head slightly. The eyes under the lenses flashed with various emotions such as surprise, nostalgia, and even languid guilt, as well as longing for the future. . It is hard to imagine that Anzai Mitsuyoshi would have so many emotions flashing through his eyes in this short period of time.
"That's right, this kid is definitely a genius that surpasses Gu Ze!"
"A true super genius!"
The calm Anzai Mitsuyoshi's mood was agitated at this time, and he clenched his fists. Although there were no unnecessary movements or words, the usually restrained coach Anzai was already in a turbulent mood at this time.
"Miyagi, I'm not good at three-point shooting."
"The ball path is completely crooked. I have to practice more in the future!"
Wu Dao let go of his hands and returned to the ground. After glancing at the shocked Takenori Akagi, Wu Dao began to defend himself. When passing by Miyagi, Martial Arts patted Miyagi on the back and said.
Miyagi Ryota's playing style is quite outstanding. Miyagi himself knows that he is short and fast, and he plays the role of a point guard. Therefore, in the past, he has been strengthening his breakthrough and ball distribution during training. In terms of independent offense, only breakthrough layups have a relatively high success rate.
As for shooting, to be honest, Miyagi really doesn't pay much attention to it.
This is also inseparable from his team positioning and personal height.
In this era, in the country of Neon, a point guard is just a point guard. What you have to do is to pass the ball well and carry the ball well across the half court. As for the rest, it has nothing to do with the point guard.
Moreover, Miyagi is short and can easily be interfered by tall defenders when shooting. Therefore, Miyagi's shooting ability has not been strengthened in the past.
Such Miyagi Ryota may be a qualified point guard in high school, but there is absolutely no way to become a top point guard.
In Budo's view, if Miyagi Ryota does not have the ability to attack independently, there will be no place for him in the future Shohoku High School!
What is a defensive vulnerability with a height of less than 170cm doing on the court? Dribbling past half court? With Toshimitsu Mitsui and Jinguji Martial Arts here, does Shobei need such people? Not to mention that Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi will join next year. By then, Miyagi's role will be completely eliminated.
But if Miyagi has a stable projection, then the situation will be different. There is nothing to worry about such things as firepower. Miyagi's stamina is also quite good. With his speed and only his teammates helping to pick and roll, he can easily run out of space and shoot, which can completely attract more defenses.
Instead of being directly let go by Hisashi Mitsui like now, but still unable to score.
"Shooting... I can practice it!" Although Miyagi Ryota also had a stubborn temper, he could still understand what he said. Miyagi himself felt a little embarrassed about shooting such a three-pointer, so when he heard Budo's words, he immediately responded with a blushing face.
The first-year players began to retreat, and the seniors regained control of the ball.
Mitsui Hisashi received the serve from the backcourt and began to advance slowly. Budo's slam dunk just now had a huge impact on the morale of the senior team, but there was no anxiety on Mitsui Hisashi's face.
On the contrary, Mitsui even had a faint smile on his face.
"With the addition of martial arts, we really have hope of hitting the country this year!"
"There is no doubt that Wu Dao is definitely the strongest small forward in the county today!"
"With him cooperating with my offense, I can't think of any team that can stop us!"
Mitsui Hisashi thought happily, and quickly entered the half court with the ball. Facing Miyagi's defense, Mitsui Hisashi no longer wanted to force himself, and glanced at Chiba Oishi inside, and the opponent quickly thought Shenhui directly mentioned the high pick-and-roll.
The first-year team members had a poor rapport. Mitsui Hisashi effortlessly used the pick-and-roll to break through and shoot directly from the mid-range.
Romance
The senior offense looked quite easy as the basketball found its way into the net.
Hisashi Mitsui and the others played a very methodical offense. Chiba Oishi in the inside mentioned the high pick-and-roll. According to the strength of the defensive pressure, Mitsui Hisashi chose to shoot by himself or pass back to Chiba, or after mobilizing the defense of Budo , passed in to Akagi.
The good turnover of basketball makes the offense of the senior team very smooth, and the success rate is also quite high.
Compared with the skillful cooperation of the senior team, the offense of the freshman team is a bit flashy. However, these bells and whistles are just the bells and whistles of a martial artist.
Mid-range shots, low-post hooks and layups, and even three-pointers from outside the three-point line, the martial arts firepower was full, against the defense of two or even three people, Chiba Oishi and Akagi Takenori, frequently. Score, trying to maintain the point difference between the two teams.
The only offensive firepower of the freshman team was Budo. After Tsunoda Satoru and others missed a few shots, they did not dare to take action. Even if they got the ball in an open space, they would pass it back to Miyagi or find a way to give it to Budo. As for Miyagi Ryota, he didn't dare to go inside after being missed by Akagi for a layup.
In the entire new team, only Jinguji Martial Arts can provide stable output.
Although Wu Dao worked hard, the score difference between the two teams inevitably began to widen.
"Whoa!" The basketball went hollow into the net. Jinguji Budo resisted Akagi's defense and scored the first half buzzer with a fadeaway jumper from the low post.
47:36, the five freshmen team played the entire half and were outscored by 11 points by the upperclassmen. Jinguji Budo scored 24 points, 8 rebounds, and 1 assist in the half. The statistics were gorgeous, but unfortunately they were all in vain. However, it is worth mentioning that Takenori Akagi, who faced Budo, contributed 2 points and 3 rebounds in the half, but was defeated by Budo.
Although Wu Dao did not lead the freshman team to an advantage in the first half, Wu Dao's terrifying personal ability still left a deep impression on everyone.
He is tall and powerful, with skillful and weird footsteps, good bounce and explosive strength, and accurate shooting. His martial arts performance on the court really opened everyone's eyes.
If you insist on saying that martial arts has any shortcomings, then it may be that martial arts is a unique skill.
The first half ended without any rest time, and the second half began directly, but the players of both teams rotated, all five down and five up.
Jinguji Budo sat on the floor on the sidelines, holding a thermos cup in his hand. After taking a small sip of warm water, he watched the game on the court. His training clothes had long been soaked with sweat, but the martial artist sitting on the sidelines was breathing evenly and showed no signs of excessive physical exertion.
The physical condition shown by martial arts did not match his crazy performance in the first half. If it were another high school freshman, after such a dominant performance in the first half, he would be as tired as a Like a dead dog.
"I didn't expect that your basketball level has improved so much in these years. You used to play with Wu Shi when they played practice games, right?"
"How well did you perform in today's game?" At some point, Mitsui Hisashi came to sit down next to Martial Arts and watched the game on the field. Mitsui Hisashi asked.
"About... 7.8%. The strength of my teammates still limits my performance to some extent."
Wu Dao smiled and said boldly.
"7.8%... I beat up that guy Akagi before I even exerted my full strength. If he knew, I don't know how he would feel in his heart."
"You just came to the basketball department today and you made our team's main center lose confidence."
Mitsui Shou believed what Budo said, then turned to look at Takenori Akagi, who was sitting in the rest area with eyes blank, shook his head slightly and said. Takenori Akagi is also a proud person from the bottom of his heart. When Akagi was in the first grade, he was also taught a lesson by the third-year main center of Shoyo High School. But since then, Akagi has never encountered such a disastrous defeat as today.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Akagi was beaten by first-year martial arts on both offense and defense.
"Are you talking about a gorilla? He's still far from it."
"It's better to be blown up by me than by someone else."
Budao looked in the direction Mitsui Shou was looking at and said with meaning.
"The physical condition of the gorilla is very good, but the technique is very rough."
"With his good physical condition, he should rarely suffer at the center position, right?"
"Taking advantage of his physical advantage, he neglected technical training."
"His and I are no longer on the same level."
"Xiangbei wants to dominate the country, but it can't be achieved with a center of his caliber."
Wu Dao withdrew his gaze, looked at the game on the field, and said casually.
"It's true as you said. In the past, our Xiangbei team lost to Xiangyang, and the factors of internal disadvantage accounted for a large proportion."
"Although I don't want to admit it, Akagi works very hard. You don't know how weak he was in his first year of high school. Now he is at least much stronger than that time."
"Bu Dao, what position are you going to play in the future? Let's decide first. There is no room for you in the guard position."
Mitsui Shou nodded, agreeing with Wu Dao's statement, and at the same time withdrew his gaze, turned to look at Wu Dao and asked.
"The position... I'm going to decide on the small forward position for the time being. Anyway, I'll be on the field. We'll see what happens."
"What do you mean by this, do you think I was promoted to the official position?"
Wu Dao smiled and asked curiously.
"Isn't that natural?"
