"Is...is this guy walking?!"
On the bench of Lingnan High School, a young player looked at Wu Dao's goal and murmured.
"The referee didn't blow the whistle, it was a good shot."
"And I saw clearly that the child didn't move."
Shigeichi Taoka shook his head and said, and then Coach Taoka's expression became serious. He looked at the martial arts on the court and fist-bumped with his teammates in celebration, and his face darkened.
"I originally thought that our Lingnan High School would have Shinomiya Tendō and Sendō Akira joining us this year, so we could go straight to the whole country without any worries. I didn't expect that Shohoku High School would have such a genius join us this year."
"Before, he was able to block Tian Tian's slam dunk. This kid's physical talent is also unusual. Although not as strong as Tian Tian in terms of strength, his offensive skills are more delicate than Tian Tian's."
"Relying on such footwork skills, even if it is a head-on confrontation in the field, you will be able to fight."
Coach Tamoka thought silently, then suddenly stood up, walked to the sidelines, and shouted to the Lingnan players on the court: "Everyone, the ball is in Shinomiya's hands."
"Other players are all separated and are not allowed to go up to assist in the pick-and-roll."
Coach Tamoka's voice attracted the attention of the players on the field. Sendao and others suddenly heard Coach Tamoka's words and were a little confused. They didn't know why their coach suddenly made such a decision.
However, Jinguji Martial Arts immediately understood Taoka Shigeichi's thoughts.
"Is this... planning to use me and Xiangbei as that guy's whetstone?!"
Jinguji Martial Arts’ guess was correct. At this time, Coach Tian Gang had such thoughts in his heart. In Taoka Shigeichi's view, Shinomiya's personal ability is already at the top level of high school. In the current Kanagawa Prefecture, there are very few teams and individuals that can exert offensive and defensive pressure on Shinomiya on both ends.
The existence of Shohoku High School and Jinguji Martial Arts are teams and individuals that can put pressure on Shinomiya.
In the opinion of coach Tian Gang, the best team is composed of countless best players, and it is very important to train the players' personal abilities. This game was originally just a practice match. For coach Tian Gang, this is the best training opportunity.
On the court, Lingnan defender Nishibayashi Kenichi gave the ball to Shinomiya Nono. Although he didn't know what his coach meant, he didn't need to know why to carry out the coach's arrangement.
"Thank you, coach~" Shinomiya received the ball, smiled at Coach Tamoka, and shouted loudly.
Then he pressed behind his teammates and slowly entered the frontcourt with the ball.
"Hey, martial arts! Don't lose to him!"
"I won't defend you."
Although Mitsui Shou didn't know what Lingnan High School's intentions were, in Mitsui Shou's mind, martial arts and Shinomiya Tōno were obviously at odds. In this one-on-one offensive and defensive battle, Mitsui Hisashi was full of confidence in martial arts.
"Don't worry, I will never lose!"
Jinguji Budo waved to his teammates and walked up immediately after Shinomiya entered the frontcourt. When defending Shinomiya Fields before, Budo had realized that his strength was not as good as his opponent's. If they are still defending near the three-point line, Budo does not have enough defensive depth after Shinomiya's breakthrough.
In order to be able to keep up with the opponent after the opponent's breakthrough, Budo improved his defensive position. At a position two or three meters outside the three-point line, Budo began to put pressure on Shinomiya.
"Pah! Pah!"
There was a brief silence in the arena, and only the sound of Shinomiya's dribbling echoed in the arena. Shinomiya turned sideways, with his ball protector against Budo's waist, dribbling at a relatively high position, and observing Budo's defense.
All the Lingnan players were already leaning on one side of the court, with no intention of stepping forward to help. Xiandao was standing outside the three-point line, with his hands on his hips. It didn't look like he was playing on the court at all, but more like he was playing on the court. Vacation.
Suddenly, Shinomiya's dribbling rhythm changed, he broke through, and his body was directly attached to Budō's body. The huge force directly forced Budō back. Shinomiya gained a gap and accelerated again, quickly heading towards the three-point line. breakthrough.
"Breakthrough!" Cheers came from Lingnan's bench, but the cheers stopped abruptly after a few rings, as if someone was strangling them by the throat.
In the stadium, Jinguji Budo reacted when Shinomiya Tano broke through, and this time Budo was ready for the impact. Although it was forced to retreat, Budo caught up at the first time, and in the third He caught up with Shinomiya Tano near the dividing line and forced the opponent to stop the ball near the three-point line.
However, Shinomiya's stoppage was also very short. After a simple dribble, he immediately adjusted the direction of the breakthrough. From the top of the arc, he instantly crossed Jinguji Budo and headed inside.
Budo followed Shinomiya Tano closely, moving sideways while raising his hands, and was soon pressed to the free throw line by the opponent. And Shinomiya Tano also quickly combined the ball, and despite the interference of martial arts, he made an emergency stop and made a mid-range shot.
Shinomiya's shooting rhythm is a bit strange. He does not shoot at the highest point of the jump, but when the highest point falls. Although the shooting point is not the highest, the defender's martial arts is stuck in the air due to the side jump. It didn't take long. When Shinomiya Tōno took action, Martial Arts had already fallen quite a distance.
There is simply no way to effectively interfere with Shinomiya's shooting.
"Pop, brush." There were two soft sounds in succession, and the basketball hit the board directly into the net.
"good!
! "As Shinomiya scored the ball, the bench of Ryonan High School erupted in cheers. Shinomiya shook his fist at his teammates on the bench, and then quickly returned to defense.
Didn't guard against it.
Wu Dao looked back at the basket, looking slightly disappointed. There was nothing wrong with his defensive choice on the ball just now. The reason why he couldn't prevent it... was that he couldn't prevent it...
"Martial arts, don't worry about it, attack well!"
"Let's pull away too, and you beat him alone!"
Mitsui Shou walked to the side of Jinguji Budo, patted Budo's back and encouraged him. The attack and defense just now was seen by Hisashi Mitsui, and even the defender couldn't stop an attack like Shinomiya's just now.
"Well, it's up to you to bring the ball upfield. I'll ask you to pass the ball after I'm in position."
"This is not a one-on-one duel, it is a competition after all!"
"I want personal victory, and I want team victory even more!"
Jinguji Budo said to Mitsui Shou. While the two were talking, Miyagi Ryota also came closer. When Budo said this, Miyagi was a little confused and asked:
"Why do we have to wait until you are in position before passing the ball? Can't we just give you the ball and let you hit it yourself?"
Budo rolled his eyes at Miyagi and said, "You're stupid! Save your energy!"
"Does it take the same amount of physical strength to attack with the ball from the backcourt as it does to attack directly with the ball in the frontcourt?"
“You may not be able to tell anything in one or two rounds, but the more times you do it, the difference will show up.”
"It's the same offense. The physical strength required to catch the ball outside the three-point line and to catch the ball in the middle distance are completely different concepts!"
Miyagi Ryota instantly understood what Budo said, and a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.
"I see~ You're really smart!" Miyagi sighed and silently ran to the baseline to catch the ball. Budao looked at Shinomiya's position from a distance and quickly ran ahead of the field.
In terms of offense, both teams used a single-core offense and reached a strange tacit understanding. With such a prerequisite, Martial Arts began to consciously increase the offensive rhythm. He wanted to deliberately increase the speed to guide Shinomiya to speed up, increase the number of attack rounds per unit time, and consume Shinomiya's physical strength to the greatest extent.
Jinguji Budo, who entered the frontcourt, did not stay outside the three-point line for even a second, and directly passed Shinomiya Nono and entered the mid-range. When Shinomiya Nono's defense came up again, Budo was in the mid-range. He withstood Shinomiya Tōno and took the ball in position.
Shinomiya Tano did not think about forcing Budo out of the middle distance, nor did he think about preventing Budo from catching the ball.
He was like a boxer who had already entered the ring, standing in the center of the ring, waiting for his opponent to arrive. Jinguji Budo without the ball was obviously not a qualified opponent yet.
After several transmissions, the basketball successfully came into the hands of Jinguji Martial Arts.
Lingnan High School's defense didn't seem to want to restrict Budo from catching the ball. Xiangbei's conduction was smooth, and the basketball came into Budo's hands smoothly.
Budo who received the ball still had his back to the basket. This time, Budō directly hit the ball and leaned back, sitting directly on Shinomiya's body with his buttocks.
"Um?"
"Um!"
Shinomiya Tano originally thought that martial arts was a tentative attack, but he did not use all his strength in the face of martial arts aggression. At this moment, Wu Dao sat down with all his strength, and he involuntarily took two steps back, directly opening a distance of nearly one meter.
Wu Dao did not even think about this, he realized that he was far away, took the ball with his back to the basket, took a step forward, and then suddenly turned around and shot a jumper.
Budo's mid-range shot was already quite sharp. Shinomiya, who was completely distanced, could not affect Budo's shooting at all, and the basketball went directly into the net.
As the basketball hit the net, Xiangbei's substitutes cheered loudly, not to be outdone. The cheers were even louder than the previous cheers from Lingnan.
As Wu Dao ran back towards his own half, he made a goal gesture with his right hand, his steps were brisk and he looked quite relaxed.
In the transition from offense to defense, Shinomiya received the ball in the backcourt and started a new round of offense.
Shinomiya's offensive habit is to catch the ball in the backcourt. After entering the frontcourt, he mainly focuses on breakthrough shots. His breakthrough method relies more on his terrifying power, relying on physical confrontation to carve out shooting gaps. , thus scoring.
Or relying on his excellent body to drive to the basket for a layup.
The offensive methods of Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tano are completely different. Budo is accustomed to catching the ball in the middle and long distances. Often within three dribbles, they rely on their footsteps to obtain shooting gaps, either by forcing shots or feints.
Two completely different offensive methods, but also have terrifying scoring efficiency.
Seventeen minutes into the first half, neither Shohoku nor Lingnan called a timeout. Jinguji Budo made 11 of 17 shots, five three-pointers, and scored 27 points in the half. However, it was inevitable to lead when defending Shinomiya Tano. Got two fouls.
As the opponent, Shinomiya Tanano made 13 of 18 shots, scored three 2-plus-1s, and scored 29 points. In terms of fouls, he only received one foul in the first half.
But from the data point of view, Shinomiya's offensive efficiency and foul control are better than Budo. In terms of scoring, the difference between the two is only 2 points, which is considered evenly matched.
Normally, the court situation of the two teams, Reinan and Shohoku High School, should be similar, but in fact, Shohoku High School successfully took the advantage through the duel between Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tanano.
The score was 42:33, and Xiangbei High School led by nine points.
The offensive efficiency and offensive rounds of Budo and Shinomiya are similar, but the biggest difference between the two teams is rebound control.
Shohoku High School's inside man, Takenori Akagi, is stronger than Ryonan High School's Jun Uozumi when it comes to rebounding!
“Drink ah ah ah!
"
On the court, Jinguji Budo beat Shinomiya for a short distance, stepped back and shot a three-pointer. The shot from Martial Arts, which was exhausted, went a little awry, and the basketball hit the edge of the frame and fell to the side. Under the basket, Takenori Akagi pushed past Jun Uozumi, jumped up with a roar, and tapped under the basketball to supply the ball.
The basketball entered the net, and the score of the two teams reached 44:33, and the point difference widened to 11 points.
"Beautiful! Akagi!" Hisashi Mitsui stood on the other side of the basket, stuck in the fairy road. When he saw the basketball entering the net, he shouted happily, and then started to defend.
"Well done, Akagi."
Martial arts fist bumped with Akagi when Akagi came out, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little lucky.
"Martial Arts, your offensive efficiency has dropped!"
"I took two boards in a row."
Akagi smiled and directly addressed Martial Arts by his first name, which seemed very affectionate.
"I'm tired, that's normal."
"Don't worry, I have actually won this duel!"
Jinguji Budo replied with a smile. While returning to defense, he turned to look at Shinomiya Tanano who was standing near the three-point line. At this time, Shinomiya Tanano was standing inside the three-point line, breathing heavily.
In the attack and defense just now, with his physical fitness, he was forced to go half a step away by martial arts. Before, such a thing would have been impossible to happen.
The reason why such a situation occurs...
"I'm so tired! It feels like when I was in junior high school and led Yokota to the national competition."
"very tired!"
Shinomiya didn't notice that Akagi scored a tip-in under the basket. He just felt that his mind was groggy. Only when he inhaled oxygen could Shinomiya feel clearer.
The high-intensity attack lasted for more than ten minutes, and Shinomiya Tano could no longer bear it. At this time, his jersey was completely wet, his face was covered with sweat, and his physical energy was exhausted, like a boxer fighting until the fourth round. It's just that a boxing match only lasts for 8 minutes in total, and there is a break every two minutes in a round, but a basketball match lasts 40 minutes.
On the other hand, Jinguji Budo, who was facing off against Shinomiya Tōno, felt refreshed. Although he was short of breath and sweating a lot, he still retained most of his physical strength!
"Field, ball!"
"Um?"
Nishibayashi Kenichi shouted as he sent the ball to Shinomiya Nobunaga, but Shinomiya Nobano seemed to be a little distracted when he caught the ball. His hands receiving the ball were a little weak and he could not catch the ball firmly. The basketball slipped directly from his hands and towards the court. He rolled away, and in the blink of an eye, he rolled out of bounds.
At the same time as the referee's sharp whistle sounded, Coach Tian Gang of Lingnan High School stood up from the rest area with a gloomy expression and sent his players to call a timeout.
"Is that the end?"
"There is actually such a big physical difference between Tian Tian and that Jinguji martial arts?"
"...."
"No, it's a trap!"
"We've fallen into a trap!"
