Not long after Coach Anxi determined the starting lineup, the referee's whistle sounded, and players from both teams began to enter the field for warm-up activities.
This time, Xiangbei's opponent was Dazhai High School in the same county, a little-known team.
During the warm-up phase, Jinguji Budo took a distant look at several Otaku High School players, focusing on the players wearing jerseys No. 4-9, and found that those players were generally only about 175cm tall and of medium build. There didn't seem to be any standout players.
Although Kanagawa Prefecture is a strong basketball prefecture, the average level of high school students is actually not high. Generally speaking, teams with an average height of more than 180cm can often reach the top 16, with 1-2 players in the team. Teams with heights above 190cm are basically guaranteed to be in the top 8.
A team like Otaku High School, with an average height of around 175cm, is at an above-average level in the county competition. Generally speaking, the possibility of winning the first game is quite high.
As for teams with the height structure of Xianghoku High School, there are relatively few teams in the entire county competition. From the perspective of height structure alone, Xianghoku High School is much stronger than Ozai High School.
In today's basketball environment, basketball is still a giant sport. When the audience sees the general heights of the players of the two teams, they can predict the outcome of the game.
"Several of the players in Shohoku are so tall! A team like Otaku High School shouldn't be a match for Shohoku."
"And there is Mitsui Hisashi in Shohoku. They have a big house, but there are no players who can limit Mitsui Hisashi and Akagi Takenori."
In the audience, several Xiangyang players sat together and discussed the strength comparison between the two teams in the stadium. Hanagata Toru sat next to Fujima, looked at Mitsui Hisashi and Akagi Takenori, and said.
He had an impression of the player Takenori Akagi. During the last county competition, their Shoyang High School played against Shohoku. At that time, Toru Hanagata was still the substitute center in the team, and he only came on the field at the end of the game to face off against Takenori Akagi for a while.
But by the time he came on the field, Shohoku High School had already been defeated, and Takenori Akagi was given a good education by their team's third-year center at the time. Although Shohoku lost at the time, Takenori Akagi's strength still allows Hanagata to remember until now.
As for Hisashi Mitsui, needless to say, he was the main scorer at Shohoku High School at the time. If it weren’t for their Xiangyang Youto Makoto and another third-year senior who took turns guarding Hisashi Mitsui and dragged him down, the final two teams would have Winning or losing may be rewritten.
"Otaku High School cannot be Shohoku's opponent. This year, our group's biggest enemy is Shohoku."
"Last year Xiangbei was already very strong. If we hadn't rotated so many players, we wouldn't necessarily be their opponents."
"Obviously, this year's Shohoku is stronger than last year."
Fujima folded his hands on his chest and said in a deep voice. After a while, Fujima moved his eyes to No. 15 Shohoku, Jinguji Martial Arts, and murmured:
"That number fifteen needs a good look."
In the court, Hisashi Mitsui led the players to warm up. The starting players were all first-year players, so the second- and third-year players were cooperating with Budao and others, passing the ball to Budao and others, so that the players on the court could adapt to the court first.
Wu Dao has been to this basketball hall several times, and has long been accustomed to the noisy environment around him. After simply throwing a few balls to find his shooting touch, Wu Dao began to dribble to warm up.
Unlike him, it was the first time for Tsunoda Satoru and his teammates to face such a scene. In the crowded stadium, the newcomers at Tsunoda felt stiff all over, even if it was a simple layup, Tsunoda Satoru Both Tetsuji Shiozaki and Shiozaki stumbled a bit, their movements uncoordinated and not smooth.
On the contrary, Yasuda Yaharu, who has a reserved personality and talks little, performed much better. Although this kid was also nervous, at least his movements were not so stiff.
"That's not okay."
"Even if Budo and Miyagi lead the team, if you go on the field in such a state, not only will you not be able to help Budo and the others, it will also hinder them."
"We have to find a way to help them."
Mitsui Hisashi had already noticed the tension of these two players when he passed the ball to Tsunoda Satoru and Shiozaki Tetsuji for layups. Their psychological quality is average, and they didn't have much competition experience when they were in junior high school, middle school, or elementary school. Today is the first time for the two of them to start the game.
Although Mitsui Hisashi understood that the two people would feel nervous, he still frowned when he saw the state of Tsunoda and Shiozaki.
"Kakuda, Shiozaki, you two come here!"
Hisashi Mitsui stood under the basket. After Shiozaki completed a hip layup, Hisashi Mitsui greeted the two.
The two people who heard Mitsui Shou's shouting immediately ran towards Mitsui Shou.
"Captain!"×2
Mitsui Shou looked at the two people in front of him. As soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted to reprimand them to make them aware of the problem. But when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them alive. Mitsui Shou knew that at this time, reprimanding would be a good idea. , will only increase the tension between the two of them.
Mitsui Shou walked up to the two of them, spread out his arms, hugged the two of them, and whispered in their ears:
"I know you two must be nervous right now."
"This is your first time competing on behalf of Xiangbei. It's normal to have such emotions!"
"However, I hope you can completely open yourself up. Don't be afraid of making mistakes, don't be afraid of losing face, and don't be too timid to show off."
"Even if you make a mistake and lose the ball, no one will blame you because you are newcomers."
"Don't be afraid of falling behind. I'll take care of you, so don't be afraid!"
"Go on the court and unleash your talents! Opportunities to play are rare, so seize them!"
Mitsui Shou spoke softly, and when he said, "I'll give you the full answer," his tone was firm and full of confidence. His words also calmed the anxious hearts of Tsunoda and Shiozaki a little.
"Yes! Captain!"
"I'll try my best, Captain!"
Tsunoda and Shiozaki were encouraged, and at this moment, their tension was temporarily overcome. Yasuharu Yasuda and Ryota Miyagi watched this scene while warming up. Mitsui Hisashi's personality charm made him a little infected.
Jinguji Martial Arts did not pay attention to other things during the whole process, and was warming up on his own. As the warm-up progressed, his spirit began to be highly concentrated.
Nearly twenty minutes later, the referee's whistle sounded, and the players from both teams ended their warm-up and returned to their respective rest areas to make final adjustments.
Coach Anxi didn't assign any tactics to the first-year students like Budo. He only had a simple sentence.
"Go ahead and enjoy the game!"
“Beep!
"
As the referee's sharp whistle sounded again, the participating players walked into the court one after another and gathered in the center circle for a jump ball.
"Huh? Hisashi Mitsui and Takenori Akagi from Shohoku didn't play?!"
"All the players on the field are new!"
Kenji Fujima was surprised when he saw that all the players from Shohoku High School had unfamiliar faces. At the same time, on the other side of the stands, everyone from Lingnan High School looked at Xiangbei and others who came on the field, and they all looked at each other in shock.
Coach Taoka rubbed the stubble on his chin, and after a long time, he slowly said: "Coach Anxi is really thoughtful! Training has already begun!"
"It looks like I have to train the new team members as well."
When Coach Tianoka was speaking, he glanced at the new players in the team this year and made up his mind.
Teams that have paid attention to or dealt with Shohoku in the past only know that Shohoku's main players are Mitsui Hisashi and Akagi Takenori. They are not familiar with Jinguji Budo and Miyagi Ryota and others, and have never even met them.
But at this time, those watching the game, teams like Lingnan and Xiangyang, were all interested in the starters from Xiangbei. Lingnan knew the abilities of martial arts and Miyagi, and wanted to see if the two of them had improved, while everyone in Xiangyang wanted to see how strong Xiangbei's substitutes were this year.
In the middle circle, Jinguji Budo stood on the center line, preparing to jump the ball.
Standing in front of Jinguji Martial Arts is No. 5 from Otaku High School. He is less than 180cm tall and is nearly a head shy of Martial Arts. Standing in front of Martial Arts, he looks quite petite.
"Asshole! This guy is so tall! Besides Takenori Akagi, how come there is such a person in Shobei?!"
"This guy is a first-year player, so he should be a rookie. If we don't let him get into the basket, it should be fine. As for the other guys in Xiangbei, they look like they are rookies."
"Before Mitsui Hisashi and Akagi come on the court, we need to widen the gap!"
No. 5 in the mansion cursed in his heart, raised his head and looked at Wu Dao's face, thinking about countermeasures in his mind.
Soon, the referee came to the center circle with the ball, signaled the players from both teams to complete their positions, blew the whistle for the start of the game, and the next second, the referee threw the ball into the air.
“Haaahhhh!
!
"
The moment the basketball entered the air, No. 5 of the mansion roared and jumped up, full of momentum. However, the basketball had just reached the highest point, and when the Otaku player was still dozens of centimeters away from the basketball, Budo stood on tiptoe and reached out casually, and the basketball flew towards Miyagi Ryota, and was caught by Miyagi Ryota. .
"Why are you shouting so loudly?" Wu Dao lowered his head slightly, looked at the opponent in front of him in confusion, and then slowly advanced towards the front court.
"Beautiful, martial arts."
"attack!"
Miyagi Ryota caught the ball, shouted loudly, and then slowly advanced towards the frontcourt with the ball. Before the game, Miyagi also noticed the tension between Tsunoda and Shiozaki, so he deliberately slowed down the pace of the attack to give the two men more time to adapt to the court.
Miyagi still has a sense of teamwork, and he doesn't want to go solo if his teammates don't do their best.
"Kakuda, go over there."
After entering the frontcourt, Budo directly squeezed into the inside. There was no one in Otaku who could restrict his position. After Budo established his position, Budo pointed to the empty space outside the paint area on the other side and reminded Tsunoda to position. .
No way, Tsunoda was relatively relaxed before the game because of Mitsui Hisashi's encouragement, but when he stepped onto the court, the audience shouted, and the nervous Tsunoda had completely forgotten his offensive position.
"Ah?! Oh oh oh!" Tsunoda was reminded and quickly moved to position. Then he seemed to have thought of something and ran towards the high post. Apparently, he wanted to set up an off-ball pick-and-roll for Yasuda.
This is a habitual action for Tsunoda. After all, this is what he practiced in Shohoku during this period. However, there is a big problem with the person he chooses to help pick and roll. Yasuda Yashun, how can he cut without the ball? !
As soon as Tsunoda raised the ball, Yasuda didn't move. Suddenly, there were six people standing in the area where Miyagi was, including his own team members and defenders, completely blocking Miyagi's breakthrough route.
The speechless Miyagi could only find Jinguji Budo on the inside and lob the ball over.
The defensive martial arts players are not tall and have average bounce. Miyagi doesn't even act when passing the ball, and his intention of passing the ball is quite obvious.
When Wu Dao saw the ball coming, he took two steps forward and easily took the ball in his hands. When Wu Dao landed, Wu Dao discovered that there was a player from a big house lying on the floor in front of him. .
"Huh? When did this guy fall in front of me? Didn't you pay attention?" Budo didn't even notice that someone was trying to intercept Miyagi's pass. He didn't even know that he bumped into someone who was trying to steal when he took off. players.
This level of physical confrontation, with the blessing of the Golden Bell Iron Cloth Shirt, martial arts cannot even be felt.
Wu Dao caught the ball easily and quickly turned around to face the frame. With a raise of his hand, No. 5 who was guarding him jumped up high. Wu Dao glanced at the opponent and threw the ball just when the opponent was about to fall. He didn't even jump for this shot.
The basketball hit the board and hit the net. As the sound of the basketball hitting the net sounded, the Xiangbei rest area burst into cheers.
"Beautiful! Martial Arts!" Hisashi Mitsui waved a towel and shouted excitedly. In the auditorium, Horita and others cheered enthusiastically, but the flags waved by these three guys were the flags of the "Man of Fire".
Budo's goal officially sounded the clarion call for Shohoku High School to attack, and the nightmare for the Otaku players had just begun.
Ten seconds later, a loud bang came from the stadium.
A basketball flew out of the court like a cannonball and hit the wall hard on the sidelines.
Under the Xiangbei basket, Otaku's No. 5 player was staring blankly at the flying basketball. After a long time, he looked back in horror at the Jinguji Martial Arts in front of him.
Just now, he received a pass from his teammate and went straight for a layup, but the basketball just broke away from his hands. The next second, Wu Dao's big hand slapped the basketball hard.
A solid big hat directly knocked the basketball away, and the shooting speed was even comparable to the speed of a volleyball smash.
Between attack and defense, martial arts has demonstrated unparalleled dominance.
"That No. 15 is not at the same level as the players at Otaku!" With just two balls, Kenji Fujima had already glimpsed the strength of Jinguji Martial Arts and couldn't help but sigh.
The next game fully verified Fujima's words. Shohoku High School, under the leadership of Jinguji Martial Arts, showed an overwhelming advantage.
Jinguji Martial Arts flourished on both offense and defense. Not only did they repeatedly punish Otaku players who tried to hit the inside, but on the offensive end, Martial Arts also showed a dominant ability, frequently scoring in the paint or from close range.
Less than three minutes into the game, the players from Dazhai did not dare to enter the paint and only dared to shoot from the outside. When Xiangbei attacked, the number of defensive martial arts players changed from 1 to 2, and in the end, it became 4.
Except for those who defended Miyagi, the rest of the Otaku players all squeezed into the inside line, tightly surrounding the martial arts and defending, as if Shohoku was a one-man team of martial arts.
Just when everyone thought that Budo's offense would be suppressed, Jinguji Budo once again showed its terrifying scoring ability.
Even against the defense of four people, Wu Dao relies on his quick and complicated inside steps, high-flying and high-flying, frequently swaying defenders to score points. Wu Dao even swipes defenders under the basket to get a one-on-one or a pair under the basket. In the second period, he frequently drew fouls and successfully scored two plus one.
Ten minutes into the game, the score between the two teams had reached 21:6. Wu Dao's personal score had reached 15 points in just ten minutes.
Obviously the game has just begun, but everyone knows that the game is already over!
The audience no longer cares about the outcome of the game. Now the audience at the stadium just wants to know, Oya, is there any way to limit the scoring of No. 15 in Xiangbei? They just want to know how many points Xiangbei No. 15 can score in this game?
But when everyone was full of expectations and wanted to see how many points Jinguji Budo could score against the opponent, 11 minutes into the first half, Jinguji Budo's personal score reached 19 points. It's time to clock out!
