Jinguji Budo was sent to the free throw line by Omasashi Shifuku. He has practiced the free throw shooting in this position countless times. It is almost a conditioned reflex to throw the ball without even looking at it. Whether he can score his own free throw or not.
"Yes!"
Watching the trajectory of the basketball flying towards the basket, Budao thought silently in his heart.
At the same time, a crisp sound of net brushing sounded, and the basketball entered the net. As Budo scored a free throw, the Shohoku bench was filled with jubilation. Wu Dao's three plus one score really boosted morale. Some of the advantages that Hainan High School had by using full-court pressing tactics completely disappeared with Wu Dao's three plus one score.
Whether off or on the court, all the Xiangbei players were extremely happy.
"Well done! Budo!" Mitsui Hisashi came over and patted Budo on the shoulder, praising him, and then he and Budo started to return to defense.
The faces of Mitsui Shou and others were full of smiles, but the martial arts that scored three plus one with four points were unusually calm, and even looked a little serious.
"Hey, Wu Dao, what's wrong with you? You're grimacing."
"Aren't you happy that you scored a goal?"
Mitsui Shou noticed Wu Dao's expression, and saw that there was no smile on Wu Dao's face, so he asked in confusion.
"The score can't be drawn. In terms of situation, we are at a disadvantage. I don't know how to be happy."
"Although I am also an optimistic person, if we cannot break Hainan's full-court press, it will be very difficult to win today's game."
While Budao and Mitsui Hisashi were talking, they had already crossed the center line. While the two were talking, Hainan had already begun to organize an attack, but Hainan's advancement was very slow and he looked unhurried.
"Miyagi, I will be responsible for carrying the ball across the half-court from now on, and you will be the transfer during the attack."
Budo suddenly ran a little faster, and without waiting for Mitsui Hisashi to say anything, he came directly to the vicinity of Miyagi, said something to Miyagi, and then settled inside the three-point line.
Originally, Jinguji Budo did not want to directly take over the dribbling duties from Miyagi. Doing so would undermine Miyagi's self-confidence and make him feel that it was his own incompetence that caused the team to make such adjustments. The second reason is that martial arts want to reserve more energy for use on the offensive end, and do not want to expend more energy in order to get rid of the opponent's defense.
Although he was very confident in his physical reserves, he couldn't resist the fact that they were facing a regular in the national competition, Hainan High School! The level of Hainan's substitutes is not low. If too much energy is consumed by the battle, Xiangbei without the support of martial arts firepower will definitely not be Hainan's opponent. This is very clear to martial arts.
But the reason for making this decision is that we hope to use such adjustments to find ways to widen the point difference, thereby forcing Hainan to make adjustments as well.
Martial arts can be regarded as seeing that Hainan plans to use Maekawa Daiki and Takasago Kazuma to focus on attack Takenori Akagi. If you want to widen the point difference, you need to prevent the opponent's offense while maintaining offensive efficiency.
For the task of supporting the inside line, among the Xiangbei players who are playing now, only martial arts is the most suitable. The others either have no height, no strength, or neither~
Xiangbei is in position, and as the martial arts position is adjusted, Xiangbei's defense line is 3 outside and 2 inside, and the defensive force is evenly distributed.
Mu Shenyi, who dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, immediately noticed Shohoku's adjustments on the defensive end. He glanced at Maekawa Daiki who was crowded with Akagi inside, and then looked at the Jinguji Martial Arts who was firmly stuck. Behind him, Ichima Takasago, after a brief thought, made a fake pass and passed the ball to the hands of Dasheng Shifu.
At this time, the defensive player Dasheng Sifu faced was Shobei second-year player Kime Nobuhiro.
After receiving the basketball, Dazheng Sifu directly raised the ball over his head, took half a step forward, and leaned sideways against Mumu Gongyan's body. He is about ten centimeters taller than Mu Mu Gongyan. Taking advantage of his height advantage, this offensive posture is enough to make Mu Mu helpless.
Suddenly, Dazheng Sifu dropped the ball and took a step directly past Mumu Gongyan. Mumu Gongyan, who was closely defending, had no space to pursue the defense and could only watch Dazheng Sifu cross the three-point line and run towards the mid-range.
"So weak!" Dazheng Sifu, who had successfully broken through, noticed from the corner of his eye whether Mu Mu was following up to defend him. When he found that Mu Mu's position was two and a half body heights behind him, he let go of the last trace of vigilance in his heart. .
When Akagi saw Konobu Kigure being broken through, he immediately pulled out from the inside to try to cover up the defense, but before he could reach it, Omasa Shifu shot directly. Omasashi Shifu's shooting force was slightly reduced due to Akagi's influence, and the basketball hit the edge of the basket and fell to the side. But it's not the martial arts side but Maekawa Daiki's side.
Without the restriction of Akagi, Daiki Maekawa took off, got a little under the ball, and directly put the ball into the basket.
After the goal, no one in Hainan cheered or celebrated. All the players immediately dispersed on the spot and pressed forward again.
In the stands, coach Tian Gang touched his chin and smiled when he saw this scene.
"Jinguji Budo's performance in the previous few goals was like a golden coat, wrapping up the tattered Shohoku."
"But when the gilding fades, Shohoku will reveal his true colors."
"It is true that Xiangbei is a good team now, but Xiangbei also has many weaknesses."
"And that guy Gao Tou has obviously caught Xiangbei's flaw!"
"Xiangbei, facing Hainan like this, what will you do?!"
Coach Taoka whispered in his heart and sat up straight, wanting to see how Shohoku High School would respond.
Today's Shohoku is actually a very deformed team, with Jinguji Martial Arts and super scorers like Hisashi Mitsui, but there are also immature sophomores like Takenori Akagi and Konobu Kigure.
In Taoka Shigeichi's opinion, the Shohoku team on the field has three very fatal weaknesses.
Even though Takenori Akagi and Konobu Kigure have been playing basketball since childhood, their foundations are not very good.
Nowadays, junior high school students who have received professional training for one year may have a better foundation than these two.
Mumu Gongyan's mediocre speed, mediocre strength, and far inferior stature to his opponents made him completely disadvantaged in the matchup against Dazheng Sifu.
As for Takenori Akagi, his tall figure is his last fig leaf. In the previous games in Shohoku, Akagi performed very well against a center who was far smaller than himself.
But when facing Xiangyang's center, facing the top center in the county like Hainan Maekawa Daiki, Akagi's weaknesses of slow lateral movement, inaccurate defensive judgment, and lack of experience were completely exposed.
Second-year students Konobu Kigure and Takenori Akagi are Shohoku's two weaknesses, but Shohoku's biggest weakness is not these two, but...
"Miyagi!" Xiangbei served, and Mumu Gongyan stood on the baseline and shouted Miyagi's name, but at this time, Miyagi was already locked up by Hainan's captain Da Zheng Shifu.
The huge height difference made it impossible for Miyagi to get a good chance to catch the ball. After Miyagi tried to use speed to distance himself and failed, he glanced at Jinguji Martial Arts.
He just heard Wu Dao say that he would be responsible for catching the ball.
"Mumu!" Just when Mumu was about to throw the ball to Miyagi to no avail, the voice of Jinguji Budo suddenly came over. Jinguji Budo jogged towards the direction with the two little tails of Maekawa Daiki and Akun. Mu Mu came closer.
When Mumu turned to look at Jinguji Martial Arts, Martial Arts suddenly stopped suddenly, then suddenly turned around and accelerated, running directly through the defense range of Maekawa Daiki and Akun, raising his arms at the same time.
Although Konobu Kugure is young, he is not unable to grasp the timing of passing the ball. The basketball is quickly thrown out of his hands and falls into the hands of Jinguji Budo.
Wu Dao, who caught the ball, immediately encountered A Kun who was intercepting him from the side. However, Wu Dao didn't care about his opponent at all. While he quickly dropped the ball and advanced, his body directly pressed hard against A Kun's body.
Perhaps it was because he was used to defending Miyagi. The moment Jinguji Budo, who was 195cm tall and weighed 85kg, bumped into Akun, he felt a tightness in his chest and was suddenly pushed away, letting go of the martial arts progress. route.
After pushing away Akun, Jinguji Budo quickly brought the ball to the frontcourt, but his speed of advance was still delayed by Akun. When he passed halftime, Hainan had already completed all positions, and even Dazheng Sifu also came to Wu Dao.
This time, Wu Dao did not choose to attack forcefully, but stopped and began to wait for his teammates.
Wu Dao knew very well that he could not play this game alone. If he wanted to win the game, Xiangbei must first restore normal offensive flow. Relying on his singles, with his current physical condition, he really can't play the whole game with full firepower while taking into account defense.
In two years, maybe he will be able to carry the entire team, but now, it's not possible.
The players from Xiangbei entered the frontcourt, and the players from Hainan took their positions.
In the positional battle, in front of Martial Arts stood Da Zheng Si Fu. Not far behind Da Zheng Si Fu, Takasago stared at Budo's movements with his eyes. Mu Mu Gongyan was completely left blank.
When an opening appeared, Jinguji Budo did not hesitate and directly gave the ball to Kimugure Konobu, who was in the open position.
Not passing the ball when you have time is like a stick, not to mention, martial arts requires the team members to stand up!
The Jinguji martial arts master is tall and powerful, and his passing speed is very fast. The most important thing is that no one in Hainan expected that the martial arts would actually give his request to the invisible man Mumu Gongyan. For a moment, everyone on the court was surprised. , all looked at Mu Mu Gongyan.
Konobu Kigure caught the ball from outside the three-point line. He looked a little dazed while holding the ball. It seemed that he did not expect that Jinguji Budo would actually give the basketball to his hands. Since Jinguji Budo joined Shohoku, he has almost never received a pass from Budo, whether in practice or in a game.
"Mumu! No one is watching you, shoot quickly!" Mitsui Shou pointed at Mumu and shouted loudly. Mu Shenyi, who was in front of him, clearly had the opportunity to go to Mumu's side to make up for the defense, but he remained motionless and stood in front of Mitsui Shou.
He didn't take Mu Mu Gongyan seriously at all.
Konobu Mumu came to his senses and raised the ball. His mind was a little confused, but under Mitsui Hisao's call, he still threw the ball.
Martial Arts narrowed his eyes the moment Mu Mu took action, quickly passed Dazheng Sifu, and rushed towards the inside.
Three-pointers are the offensive method that high school students are least good at in this era.
Although Mumu Gongyan threw the ball, his basic skills were not good. He could not get the ball into the net with his courage.
As Jinguji Martial Arts expected, the basketball fell out of the frame.
Fortunately, Budo was well prepared. The moment the basketball bounced and fell, he sprinted and jumped up. His height was far higher than that of Maekawa Daiki and Akagi Takenori, who were under the basket, and slapped the basketball with one palm.
The basketball flew out, crossed half of the court, and returned to Mu Mu Gongyan's hands.
"Continue!" Wu Dao growled. Then he turned his back, and Takasago, who was stuck in pursuit, occupied a relatively good position to grab the board. On the other side, Takenori Akagi also dropped his center of gravity, trying hard to squeeze out Maekawa Daiki.
There was a scramble under the basket, but there was nothing in front of Mu Mu. The basketball started again, and Mu Mu's expression changed slightly, from the previous panic and confusion to a determined one.
Mu Mu made another three-point shot. This time, although he slightly corrected the angle and strength, the basketball still deviated. The basketball once again hit the edge of the frame and bounced out.
The placement of the basketball was not very comfortable, and the rebound was taken by Maekawa Daiki.
"Fast break!" With the help of rebounds, Hainan quickly launched a fast break. Wu Dao's position was too deep and he couldn't catch up. Mu Shenyi received the pass from Maekawa Daiki in the frontcourt and cooperated with Hainan's Akun in the frontcourt. , completed the end. Mitsui Hisashi and Miyagi, who were chasing after the rebound, did not run back as soon as the rebound appeared, and did not catch up with Hainan's fast break.
"Yes...I'm sorry." Jinguji Budo was about to return to the court to receive the serve from his teammates. When he passed by Mumu Konobu, Mumu Konobu's guilty apology suddenly sounded in his ears.
"..." Wu Dao turned around and glanced at Mu Mu, his face expressionless. Looking at Wu Dao's face, Mu Mu, as a senior, couldn't help but feel tight in his heart. It wasn't that martial arts was terrible, but Mu Mu felt guilty that he had failed his teammates' expectations.
"My body is too stiff. Of course I can't make a shot like this."
"Relax a little, and the shooting point can be higher. When no one is marking you, you can have more time to make adjustments."
After Wu Dao finished speaking, he started to return to the field at a trot. Mumu Gongyan was stunned for a moment when he suddenly heard this. Looking at the back of Jinguji Budo leaving, this good old man of the team, the second-year senior who has always been a warm person to others, also felt a warm current in his heart.
"Okay!" Mu Mu Gongyan nodded heavily and responded regardless of whether Wu Dao could hear him or not. But his answer was not so much for martial arts as it was for himself.
In the transition between offense and defense, it’s Xiangbei’s possession of the ball again.
Hainan's full-court press had a very prominent effect on Miyagi, but now, Shohoku's ball-handler is replaced by Jinguji Budo.
Blocking the martial arts of Jinguji Temple and blocking the fertile fields of Miyagi are completely different concepts.
Hisashi Mitsui served from the backcourt, and the basketball flew towards Budo. Damasa Shifuku, who was defending Budo, was at a disadvantage in his own position, and the basketball was easily obtained by Budo. The next second after the basketball was taken, Wu Dao quickly swept the ball and turned around. After a fake move to break through to the left, he directly used his speed advantage to dribble the ball past Dazheng Sifu in long strides.
Takasago, who wanted to help block the attack, had just gotten close to Budao, but he was directly passed by Budao with a man-ball. In the blink of an eye, the defense in front of Budao was completely destroyed.
"Takasago...you are running so slowly and you want to block me?"
Jinguji martial arts master is very fast, and his breakthroughs are something that no one from Miyagi Ryota can achieve. Watching the martial arts pass through the Hainan defense line easily and comfortably, Miyagi Ryota felt mixed emotions in his heart.
Are you happy? of course. But I was also very upset and sour.
"Damn it..." Miyagi cursed in his heart as he looked at the Hainan defenders chasing the martial arts. In his mind, he suddenly had the idea of changing his style of play.
