Jinguji Martial Arts just scored a goal, and the entire venue erupted into amazing cheers. A wave of sound surged towards the venue, drowning everyone.
"Ohhhh, Hiro was defeated, he was defeated by Jinguji Budo Hiro!"
"Shouldn't Xiangbei have replaced him long ago? We came here just to see him!"
"The pause just now was so smooth that I couldn't react at all."
For a moment, Sakuragi Hanamichi's ears were filled with the admiration of the audience. Sakuragi Hanamichi didn't know much about basketball, but he still knew clearly what was strong and what was weak.
In a set of matchups, the one who stands on the court and shoots must be strong, and the one who falls on the ground must be weak.
"Jinguji-senpai is so amazing. His ability to combine people and balls is probably the best in Shohoku."
"Even if it's Rukawa Kaede..." Haruko just said the last words in her heart and did not say them out loud. Sakuragi Hanamichi turned his head in confusion and asked:
"Man-ball combination ability? What is man-ball combination?"
Haruko heard Sakuragi ask and explained with a smile: "Simply put, it is the ability to control the basketball when fully utilizing one's physical condition."
"Under normal circumstances, basketball players' physical fitness is very good, but because they need to dribble, pass others, and pay attention to the court situation, it is often impossible for players to maximize their physical fitness during the game. .”
"The speed at which you run a hundred meters is completely different from the speed at which you run a hundred meters with the ball, or the speed at which you run one hundred meters while dribbling the ball while looking at the scenery."
"The stronger your ability to combine man and ball, the more you can use your physical advantages in the game."
"Some people have said before that if a rugby player with strong physical fitness plays basketball, he will be able to hit the ball well, but that is unrealistic, because even if the physical fitness is good enough, it is impossible if he does not have excellent human-ball combination ability. To become a great player.”
"As for a player's ability to combine man and ball, one depends on talent and the other depends on training."
"In this regard, Jinguji-senpai is the leader."
Haruko explained a lot to Sakuragi Hanamichi. She said so much in the hope that Sakuragi Hanamichi would pay attention to this aspect. Although Haruko and Sakuragi Hanamichi have not been in contact for a long time at this stage, Haruko knows very well that Sakuragi Hanamichi belongs to the category of players with excellent bodies.
If a player like this relies solely on his body to survive, his basketball path will never be very long.
"The ability to combine man and ball...that's it."
Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at Jinguji Martial Arts with a clear look on his face, and suddenly there was a smile on his face.
"Sure enough, I still want to be an athlete. If I can be like my big brother, are all these cheers for me?!"
"If this is the case... Haruko..."
Sakuragi Hanamichi was serious for a few seconds, glanced at Akagi Haruko standing beside him, and began to have wild thoughts.
In the stadium, Jinguji Budo, who scored a goal, began to defend with his teammates. Defeating his opponents is not a big deal to him, and the Wuyuan player is not the first one in his basketball career up to this stage.
Shohoku returned to the defensive position. They adopted a man-to-man defense. Only Takenori Akagi and Satoru Tsunoda were on the inside. Jinguji Budo, Hisashi Mitsui and others all defended to the three-point line.
The player facing Miyagi Ryota has been changed. He is a third-year student from Wuyuan. He is about 175cm tall. Although he is a little taller than Miyagi, his opponent is not fast and his strength is average. Miyagi can easily defend him. .
On the outside, Jinguji Budō and Mitsui Hisashi are guarding each other. Both are top players and restrict their opponents to death on the defensive end. It is very difficult for the player being defended by Budō to even connect the ball. Dai Ming, who was defended by Hisashi Mitsui, could only try his best to carry the ball and prevent Hisashi Mitsui from taking it away.
However, it is impossible to break through, and even passing the ball has become extremely difficult.
In the 30-second attack time, Wuyuan High School didn't have a second left. In the last few seconds, the basketball was passed to the inside after several passes. Wuyuan's insider took action in a hurry, and what greeted him was Takenori Akagi's sky-covering hand.
"Don't even think about it!"
"Peng!"
With a loud shout from Takenori Akagi and a muffled sound, the basketball fell rapidly, hit the floor, and bounced towards the outside.
Miyagi Ryota quickly caught the ball in his hands with quick eyes and quick hands.
"Quick break!" Miyagi roared after getting the basketball, and then he saw Mitsui Hisashi and Jinguji Budou who had already rushed to the frontcourt.
Miyagi Ryota raised the ball with one hand and threw the basketball directly towards the front court, and was firmly caught by Hisashi Mitsui. Mitsui Hisashi, who got the basketball, turned his head and glanced at Miyadera Budo while he was advancing rapidly, and gave a look.
Jinguji Budo, who noticed Mitsui Hisashi's gaze, slowed down slightly and fell behind Mitsui Hisashi.
The tacit understanding between the two people is so good that they can complete simple communication with their eyes.
The speed of Jinguji Budo and Mitsui Hisashi was really too fast, and their reactions were also very quick. By the time everyone in Wuyuan realized that they were about to return to defense, Budo and Mitsui Hisashi had already crossed the center line. One after another, they rushed towards the inside of Wuyuan.
Hisashi Mitsui held the ball across the three-point line, then bypassed the free throw line from the left, and then threw the ball in the direction facing the basket. After throwing the ball, Hisashi Mitsui stopped and turned his head to look. To the basketball.
There, Jinguji Budo, who was several meters behind Mitsui Hisashi, had just crossed the free throw line. As the basketball entered the air, Jinguji Budo also jumped up, caught the basketball in the air with one hand, and glided towards the basket.
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise, Jinguji Budo dunked with one arm, and directly smashed the basketball into the basket. As Jinguji Martial Arts fell back to the ground, cheers erupted from the stands again.
"Ohhh, so strong, worthy of Jinguji Martial Arts!"
"This is it! This is it! This is what I came to watch!"
"It doesn't look like a high school student's style of play at all. This guy is too strong!"
The audience cheered one wave after another, and the cheers seemed to break through the ceiling of the arena.
Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at Jinguji Budo's slam dunk, and felt goosebumps all over his body. His blood flow speed also increased unconsciously, and his heart relaxed and made a "bang bang" heartbeat. At this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi was able to Hear his own heartbeat clearly.
"This...slam dunk! This is what big brother calls a slam dunk!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at Jinguji Martial Arts with longing in his eyes. At this time, he put himself in the position of Jinguji Martial Arts. He narrowed his eyes slightly and felt the cheers around him, feeling an indescribable sense of pleasure. Bursting from the bottom of my heart.
Even the audience will be deeply attracted by the charm of basketball.
"It's amazing, Sakuragi, Jinguji-senpai is really amazing!"
"You know what? In the high school games I've watched before, no one has ever been able to dunk like Jinguji-senpai."
"Jinguji-senpai is definitely the strongest player in Kanagawa Prefecture. No, there is probably no player nationwide who can do it!"
Akagi Haruko was also ignited by Jinguji Budo's alley-oop dunk, and was cheering at this time. The excited Haruko subconsciously grabbed Sakuragi's arm and shook it.
"All...the whole country?!"
“There’s no player nationwide who can do it?!”
Sakuragi Hanamichi murmured what Haruko had said, his eyes widened slightly, a strange light burst out from his eyes, his fists clenched, and his eyes immediately became firm.
In the stadium, Jinguji Budo began to return to the field amid the celebrations of his teammates.
The performance of Mitsui Hisashi and Martial Arts was quite mediocre. This was not the first time they had completed such cooperation. Looking at the slightly absent-minded people in the martial arts garden, both Mitsui Hisashi and Jinguji Martial Arts knew that what was coming next The competition will probably become extremely easy.
Although Jinguji Budo only played for a short while and only scored two goals, everyone in Wuyuan has realized that their team cannot limit Jinguji Budo at all. Facing such a terrifying opponent, these young people in their teens in Wuyuan had no fighting spirit at all.
On the side of the court, Wuyuan coach Director Hayama also realized the gap and had given up the idea of winning. Now, he only thinks about how to adjust the mentality of the players so as not to affect the subsequent games.
On the court, Wuyuan's players were captured by Jinguji Budo's slam dunk. The frustrated players performed even worse on the offensive end. The ball holder was found a flaw by Miyagi Ryota and completed the steal. In an instant, everyone in Xiangbei formed a red torrent and rushed towards the Wuyuan half.
Shohoku High School scored two more points as Miyagi Ryota stole the ball and scored a layup. The substitution at Shohoku High School lasted only about a minute, and they had already scored six consecutive points.
"Don't give up, the game has just begun, why do you all have such expressions!?"
"Cheer up, cheer up! The game is far from over yet!"
Dai Ming, a sophomore at Wuyuan High School, caught the ball in the backcourt and advanced while holding the ball while shouting at his teammates. His words seemed to have some effect. Everyone in Wuyuan gathered their spirits and began to reorganize the attack.
"Oh? Is Wuyuan High School still a player with integrity?"
"But...basketball is something you can't win by relying on backbone and slogans."
On one side of the stands, Coach Tian Gang of Lingnan High School folded his hands on his chest and spoke softly. His words were like a verdict to Wuyuan High School.
"Wuyuan's desperate struggle only made the fight between Jinguji Martial Arts and Shohoku less boring."
"In this game, the strength of the two teams is not equal."
"If the team does not have star-level players, it is impossible for the team to be a rival to Shohoku."
"As of now, we are the only ones who can fight against Xiangbei."
"Hainan...maybe that's okay too."
Coach Tian Gang said, looking towards the opposite side of the stands, where a group of Hainan players were sitting on the seats near the entrance to watch the game, with serious expressions on the faces of each player.
On the court, the Wuyuan players who had inspired some fighting spirit were quickly defeated by the cruel reality. Under Xiangbei's defense, Wuyuan could not find any good shooting opportunities at all.
Several shots were taken in succession, but due to the attack time limit, they had no choice but to force the shot. This slightly panic attack had no way of penetrating the defense line of Xiangbei. As the game progressed, the score difference between the two teams quickly widened.
And unlike Wuyuan, Shohoku High School's offense is more blossoming. Jinguji Budo played very selfishly in the first five minutes of this game. They basically hit the ball after receiving it, but when the score difference widened by more than 15 points After that, his style of martial arts changed and he started playing ball for his teammates.
Jinguji Budo often breaks through to attract the opponent's attention, and then passes the ball to his teammates. Most of the passes are given to Hisashi Mitsui and Takenori Akagi, who finish the ball.
There are not many opportunities for Tsunoda, because in this level of competition, Tsunoda's role is too small. Only when he is open, Budo will think of passing to him.
At the end of the first half, Shohoku High School led its opponent by nearly 30 points, 52:24.
In the second half, Jinguji Budo and Tsunoda Satoru were substituted, and Chiba Oishi and Kimugue Kimonobu were substituted. Midway through the second half, coach Anxi made another personnel adjustment until the end of the game.
As the referee's whistle sounded, the score between Xiangbei and Wuyuan was fixed at 91:55, and they won the game with a big score. In the first game of the semi-final round robin, Xiangbei High School won its first victory.
After shaking hands with their opponents, the Xiangbei players left the field under the leadership of coach Anzai, and then returned to the stands through the player tunnel, preparing to watch the next game.
The game between Lingnan High School and Hainan is closely followed by the game between Xiangbei and Wuyuan.
In the middle of the second half of the Xiangbei game, Hainan's Lingnan players had already gone to the lounge to make adjustments. When the Xiangbei game came to an end, Hainan's Lingnan had actually passed through the players' tunnel and entered the field. He was just standing on the edge of the field watching the Xiangbei game.
After the game, the two teams entered their respective rest areas and began to warm up.
"Haruko, the competition in Shohoku is over, won't we go?"
"After watching the game, I felt a huge force in my body. I can't wait to start training!" After the game in Shohoku, Sakuragi Hanamichi said to Haruko.
"Don't worry! There will be a game between Lingnan High School and Hainan next."
"These two teams are also very powerful. Hainan is called the 'King'. It has been the champion of the county competition for more than ten consecutive years. It is a real powerhouse."
"As for Lingnan, I heard from my brother that they are also very strong this year. The match between their two teams will definitely be fun to watch."
"The two biggest opponents in Xiangbei now are these two teams."
Hearing that Sakuragi Hanamichi wanted to leave, Akagi Haruko quickly grabbed Sakuragi's clothes and pointed at the two teams warming up in the stadium.
"Champion for more than ten consecutive years?!" Sakuragi Hanamichi was also intimidated by Hainan's name and was stunned. Suddenly, Sakuragi Hanamichi noticed that there were spectators hanging banners in the stands not far away.
Many of those in the audience were students from Hainan or Lingnan schools.
"Look, Sakuragi, the No. 8 from Lingnan High School is called Shinomiya Tōno, the MVP in junior high school."
"The one with the spiky hair is called Sendou Akira. I heard from my brother that he is the super ace that Lingnan specially poached from Tokyo."
"The tallest one is Jun Uozumi, who is known as the monster. He is Lingnan's center. I heard from my brother that he is two meters tall."
Akagi Haruko is a die-hard football fan. Even the Lingnan players know their treasures and introduce the players to Sakuragi Hanamichi. The fancy titles of Lingnan High School players firmly attracted Sakuragi Hanamichi.
"mvp...super ace...monster..." Sakuragi muttered, his thoughts flying away again.
At the same time, the warm atmosphere in the stands also cooled down. Some spectators went to the toilet, some ate snacks, and quietly waited for the start of a new round of competition.
