"ah?!"
"How is that possible? Senior Jinguji is the ace of Shohoku High School."
"The current lineup is just a test of the waters, just watch and it will be fine."
Akagi Haruko didn't notice Sakuragi Hanamichi's slightly disappointed mood. Now, her attention was completely focused on the court. After all, on the court, her brother had already stepped into the center circle, ready to jump the ball, and the game was about to begin.
"The ace of Shohoku High School? Then why didn't he play?" Sakuragi Hanamichi had very little time to touch basketball. While he was wondering about Budo not playing, Sakuragi saw Akagi and others walking into the center circle to prepare for a jump ball. This scene also aroused caught his attention.
"Hey, Haruko, what are they going to do?" Sakuragi Hanamichi was like a baby who was curious about everything. He looked at the two teams in the middle circle preparing to jump the ball and asked in confusion.
"Huh? Oh."
"That's called a jump ball. At the beginning of the game, you need to use a jump ball to determine the offensive team."
"My brother is the center, and he executes the jump ball."
Haruko Akagi briefly introduced the jump ball, and then looked at the court. Sakuragi Hanamichi nodded, with a "I see" expression on his face, but although he still had a lot of doubts in his heart, he suppressed them for the time being and decided to watch the game first.
The players from Xiangbei High School wore red jerseys, while the Wuyuan team wore blue jerseys. The two teams were very distinct.
As the referee whistled, the basketball was thrown into the air. Takenori Akagi, who was standing in the center circle, and Takeon's center took off almost at the same time and reached out to slap the basketball.
"It's started, it's started!" Haruko shouted excitedly as the game started.
In the court, with Takenori Akagi's loud shout, the basketball was hit by him and flew quickly towards Tsunoda. The latter received the basketball and did not drop the ball immediately. Instead, he waited for his teammates and paused. A few seconds later, the pass was passed to Yasuda Yashun, and Yasuda took control of the ball and started to advance.
"Start attacking!" Takenori Akagi won the jump ball to encourage himself and his teammates. After shouting, Takenori Akagi quickly rushed towards the inside of Wuyuan.
"Sakuragi, look, my brother is a center. The center is the role closest to the basket on the court and is the most advantageous offensive position."
"At the same time, the center is also the last line of defense and the initiator of offensive and defensive transitions."
"My brother often says, 'Those who can dominate the basket can dominate the court.'"
"Nowadays, those who dribble the ball are called defenders."
As the game began, Haruko Akagi began to teach novice Sakuragi the basic rules of basketball and the basic positioning of players on the court. After all, the lectures given to Sakuragi Hanamichi before were just empty talk. Sakuragi did not have a systematic understanding of the basketball game. But now, with practical examples, it is easy for Sakuragi to form a basic understanding of basketball.
After all, it was Haruko who patiently explained, and Sakuragi Hanamichi listened attentively while keeping his eyes fixed on the court.
While the two were talking, the Xiangbei players had already advanced to the frontcourt. Satoru Tsunoda, who acted as a power forward, moved to the high position and set a pick-and-roll for Yasuda Yasuhiro. Yasuda got the gap and broke through with the ball.
However, Yasuda's movement speed is too slow. Although the training in Shohoku during this period was very difficult and this first grader persisted, Yasuda Yashun, who has mediocre talent, has improved his physical fitness after just a few months of training. Very average.
Yasuda, who used the pick-and-roll to break through, was caught up by Wu Yuan's defender and intercepted.
Yasuda himself just gave it a try. Seeing that the breakthrough failed, he quickly passed the ball sideways to Miyagi Ryota.
Miyagi received the basketball without any hesitation, and made a shooting motion near the three-point line against the defender. The defender was deceived by Miyagi's fake move and subconsciously straightened his back to block the shot, but The next second, Miyagi bowed and quickly broke through.
When Miyagi deceived the defenders with a fake move, the audience let out some exclamations. It seemed that Miyagi's actions surprised them.
Miyagi Ryota's breakthrough speed is quite fast. When he reaches the middle distance, Miyagi tries to make a jump shot. This is Jinguji Budo's best offensive method. Miyagi has been coveting and training for a long time.
"Snapped!"
"Uh-huh!"
Miyagi Ryota had good luck, hitting the basketball into the net and scoring the first goal for Shohoku High School.
"Well done, Miyagi."
"It seems that Coach Anxi's arrangement is not wrong!"
Takenori Akagi did not forget to encourage Miyagi Ryota when he returned to the defense, and everyone in Shobei began to retreat quickly.
"Haruko, what was that just now? It's that one," Sakuragi Hanamichi said, showing Haruko the shooting fake move that Miyagi had just made, and she was a little curious.
"That's Miyagi Ryota, Miyagi-senpai. The fake move is an offensive method to deceive the defensive players so that he can break through and shoot."
"It's a very practical and routine technique."
Haruko explained, and then shouted loudly to cheer for Xiangbei. Sakuragi Hanamichi scratched his head and whispered: "It's a fake move, it looks cool."
"Let big brother teach me later!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi didn't care about the practicality of the stadium at all. The reason why he was curious about Miyagi's fake move just now was just because Miyagi's move just now looked very cool and attracted a wave of attention from the audience. .
Now Sakuragi plays basketball only for Haruko, and the skills he is interested in must be "dazzling". Miyagi's fake action just now satisfied his needs and made Sakuragi very interested.
On the court, there was a transition between offense and defense. Dai Ming, a second-year guard from Wuyuan, faced Miyagi Ryota's defense and took a mid-range shot directly after receiving the ball. Ten seconds after Shohoku scored, he immediately returned the favor.
Wuyuan's Deming wears the blue No. 5 jersey. He is 180cm tall, which is much taller than Miyagi. Moreover, Deming has an excellent wingspan and good shooting ability. When he catches the ball and shoots, Miyagi There is nothing the city can do.
As the basketball entered the net, Shohoku once again took control of the ball. The player who controlled the ball was still Yasuda Yashun instead of Miyagi Ryota.
"Don't be in a hurry to retreat, press forward, press them all!"
Off the court, Coach Hayama of Wuyuan shouted loudly to the players on the court. This elegant coach wearing a suit and slightly white hair gave direct instructions to the players.
All of a sudden, Wuyuan's defensive formation changed rapidly. When Xiangbei played the first round of offense, Wuyuan used a zone defense, but after Coach Hayama gave the order, Wuyuan directly adopted the full-court pressing tactic.
Moreover, against the young Yasuda Yashun, Takezono directly used two players to double-team, and Akagi who ran to the frontcourt was directly let go.
Yasuharu Yasuda was flanked after failing to cross the center line in the first time. He could only dribble the ball hard to find a gap to pass the ball. But how could Yasuda, who was only in the first grade and was no more than 163cm tall and weighed no more than 55kg, be a match for Deming and the others.
The ball did not pass halftime and was directly intercepted by a Wuyuan stealer, who easily counterattacked.
Shohoku served again, and the basketball was still in the hands of Yasuda Yasharu. Just like before, Yasuda was double-teamed by two people as soon as he got the ball. The same scene happened again. Yasuda didn't even have time to dribble, and the ball was He was snatched away directly near the basket and then succeeded in a layup.
"┗|｀o′|┛Aw Xiangbei, what are you doing?!"
"What's this fight about?"
"Hey, that kid, stop holding the ball, you can't grasp it!"
Xiangbei lost the ball again, and there was a burst of mourning from the audience. Some Xiangbei fans cursed loudly, and boos poured into the field. After all, Yasuda Yasharu, who lost the ball, was just a teenager. Yasuda Yasharu, who was booed by the audience, turned red and was too embarrassed to speak. He could only go to the backcourt silently and prepare to catch the ball again.
"In this martial arts garden, they must have studied us before."
"If Yasuda is allowed to dribble past half-court, he won't be able to break through if there is someone to help him, but he will still have no problem getting the ball moving."
"Muzono directly went to the full court to press, and Yasuda was at a huge disadvantage. His body was too thin, and his dribbling skills were only at different levels, so he couldn't break through at all."
In the Xiangbei rest area, Hisashi Mitsui was sitting on the bench. Seeing this scene on the court, he said to Budo next to him.
"Well, it should be. It would be better if Miyagi holds the ball, but what Coach Anzai means is that he wants to use this game to practice Yasuda's ball control and Miyagi's offense."
"While their positioning remains unchanged, they must find ways to help Yasuda break through."
"If it's just about substitutions and possession of the ball, there's no point in playing this lineup."
Jinguji Budo was talking to Mitsui Shou and glanced at Coach Anzai. Almost all the players in Xiangbei know that coach Anxi vigorously cultivates young players. Obviously, coach Anxi's ambition is not limited to the county competition.
However, basketball is not something that depends on hard work, but it must be effective. Talent is very important.
Obviously, with Yasuda Yasuhiro's physical fitness and dribbling ability, his talent in basketball is really not high. Moreover, Yasuda's playing time is also very short. He only started playing in junior high school. He sat on the bench until high school and only started to officially play games in high school. Yasuda himself has already lost a lot to his peers.
Yasuharu Yasuda was simply not used to the semi-finals of the county competition. Not only Yasuda Yasharu, Shiozaki and Tsunoda on the court were also very uncomfortable at this time. Takezono's man-to-man defense made Shiozaki and Tsunoda disappear.
Although the score was only 4 points behind, the scene was one-sided.
"Beep!"
With a sharp whistle, the referee awarded Yasuda an offensive foul. It turned out that Yasuda, who once again took the ball in the backcourt, was annoyed by Wu Yuan's defenders. When he forced a breakthrough, he moved a lot and had an obvious elbow lift.
"Coach Hayama is still not easy to deal with. It seems that the training cannot continue."
"Let's open up enough points and then train."
"It's just that the training effect will be worse."
Coach Anxi listened to the whistle and sighed in his heart. He stood up silently and walked towards the referee's box, asking for a substitution. When Coach Anzai returned to the rest area, he directly ordered Budo and Hisashi Mitsui to come on to replace Shiozaki and Yasuda. As for Tsunoda Satoru, he still stayed on the court and acted as a power forward.
"Shohoku High School, please make a substitution!"
A clear female voice spread the sound through the speakers to the entire audience. In the rest area, Jinguji Budou and Mitsui Hisashi were walking towards the court. As the two appeared, the audience suddenly burst into amazing cheers.
"Jinguji Martial Arts! Jinguji Martial Arts!"
"Jinguji Martial Arts! Jinguji Martial Arts!"
"Mitsui Hisashi! Mitsui Hisashi!"
"Mitsui Hisashi! Mitsui Hisashi!"
The audience cheered the names of the two people in confusion. The enthusiastic cheers surprised Sakuragi Hanamichi. He looked around curiously and exclaimed: "Big brother is so popular! He is Is he such a famous player?"
Although Haruko told Sakuragi before that Budo was the ace player in Shohoku, but Budo did not play, Hanamichi still didn't quite believe it, but now when he heard the cheers all over the sky, he believed it even if he didn't believe it.
"It's so awesome, almost everyone in the audience shouted their names."
"My heart is getting a little excited!"
Mito Yohei and Takamiya and others also looked around curiously, their faces full of surprise. With the shouts of the audience, Yohei was infected by the atmosphere and felt a little excited.
On the court, Budo and Hisashi Mitsui high-fived Yasuda and Shiozaki, and then walked onto the court.
"How are you going to fight today? Shall I defeat them?" Mitsui Shou swung his arms, moved his muscles, and asked the martial artist beside him.
"I'll play half a game. There's a young boy coming to watch the game today. Let's show off a little bit."
Wu Dao replied calmly, his eyes swept towards the auditorium, and he saw Sakuragi Hanamichi and others at a glance. There was no way, the red hair was too eye-catching, and those guys were still standing in front of the first row of railings in the auditorium.
"The game has just begun, cheer up!" the captain of Wuyuan shouted to encourage his teammates. All the Wuyuan players looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, staring closely at Jinguji. Takedo and Hisashi Mitsui.
Wuyuan had the ball, and the basketball was passed to No. 5 Deming after several passes. The one guarding Deming was Hisashi Mitsui, who had just come on the court. Looking at Deming holding the ball in front of him, Mitsui Shou smiled and hooked his fingers at the opponent, signaling the opponent to attack.
Mitsui Hisashi's provocation obviously had some effect. Daiming dropped the ball quickly and leaned directly on Mitsui Hisashi's body, trying to press inside. But Mitsui Hisashi is not a short defender, regardless of height or height. In terms of physique, he is even better than 180c Deming!
"Peng!"
After a muffled sound, Mitsui Hisashi did not take a step back. Instead, he took a step forward to press towards Deming and reached out to slap the basketball. Deming also sensed something was wrong, quickly put the ball together, and shot directly without even looking at the basket. The shot he was forced to make was completely inaccurate. The basketball fell out of the frame and fell to the side.
Takenori Akagi shouted loudly, jumped high to grab the rebound, and then passed it directly to Jinguji Budo.
After receiving the basketball, Jinguji Budo quickly advanced with the ball, but his speed was not fast, and Wuyuan's team members could not keep up. In just a few seconds, Wuyuan completed the return defense, and Budo had just just Carrying the ball across half court, approaching the three-point line.
"I won't let you pass!"
The player defending Jinguji Budo is Wuyuan's No. 4, and Budo has no impression of this opponent. The opponent lowered his body and spread his arms, as if he would never let his martial arts break through.
"If it was in the past, if you defended like this, I would just shoot."
"But today, I will give you a chance to guard against me. You must take advantage of it."
Jinguji Martial Arts glanced at Sakuragi Hanamichi in the stands and chuckled. Without waiting for anyone to reply, he leaned forward and broke through. The opponent's follow-up speed was also very good, but he was still a step behind in martial arts.
If it were in the past, the opponent's half-beat slowness would have meant a failure of defense, and Wu Dao could completely use his own speed to overwhelm the opponent. But today, Wu Dao did not do this. After taking two steps forward, Wu Dao suddenly stopped, straightened up, and looked at the basket.
Seeing this scene, the defender suddenly stepped on the brakes and pounced on Wu Dao. However, Wu Yuan's No. 4 still had some brains and knew that Wu Dao might be a fake move, so when he pounced on him, his feet did not leave the floor and he took long strides. The way forward, instead of stupidly flying to save the ball.
Sure enough, Jinguji Budo, who had stopped suddenly, suddenly started up and passed the opponent in an instant. Wuyuan's No. 4 defended hard. This time, he no longer had any remaining strength and suddenly accelerated towards Budo in an attempt to defend.
However, Jinguji Budo's sudden start only took two steps forward. When he noticed that the defensive player was following up, Budo stopped suddenly again and dribbled back. One rushed forward, the other pulled back. In an instant, the two of them were separated by several meters.
The defensive player's reflexes were fairly well developed, and his brain reacted quickly. He wanted to stop and catch up with the martial arts, but his body was shut down.
Wuyuan No. 4, who wanted to fight back, tripped on his legs, fell to the ground, and slid far away.
Jinguji Martial Arts Shi Shiran adjusted his breath and rhythm, and then shot.
The basketball spun and flew towards the basket. With a crisp swipe sound, the basketball entered the net. Rose Please remember: Rose, free and fastest update, no anti-theft, no anti-theft.
