28:26.
Mitsui Hisashi glanced at the scoreboard, wiped the sweat from his face, exhaled slightly, and then walked towards Jinguji Martial Arts.
There is not much lead left for Xiangbei High School. The next goal is extremely critical for Xiangbei High School. If the score is caught up by Lingnan High School at this time, the opponent's already overwhelming momentum will be even higher. Not a good thing for high school.
Although Mitsui Shou is still physically fit, he has already planned to change Shohoku's offensive method. Coach Anzai said before the game that Mitsui Hisashi and Jinguji Budo should play half a game each, and the two scoring players would stagger the breaking points.
There are actually only two purposes. One is that Coach Anxi wants to see how far Mitsui Hisashi and Jinguji Martial Arts have grown.
Although Coach Anxi is also observing the usual training, in the final analysis, training is training, and actual combat is the only way to test the results of training.
Another purpose is to allow Mitsui Hisashi and Budo to have sufficient physical fitness to perform to their fullest on the offensive end. The dominance of this game has actually been given to Mitsui Hisashi and Jinguji Budō. Even if Shohoku is at a disadvantage, Coach Anzai will not interfere too much.
The original intention is to see the growth and potential of the players. The outcome of this game is irrelevant to Coach Anxi.
But it is different for the Xiangbei players on the field. The champion of the county competition! A former national player like Coach Anxi is very open to this kind of honor, but how can a young man on the court let it go so easily?
Although Jinguji Budo has no obsession with the prefectural competition, it is still eyeing the title of "the strongest high school student". After all, if it is impossible to become the top in such a weak basketball country, how can we talk about higher-level leagues in the future? Woolen cloth? What about becoming a professional footballer?
Similarly, Hisashi Mitsui didn't want to lose to anyone. When he realized that it was too late to attack on his own, he decisively turned to Jinguji Martial Arts.
"Martial Arts, I need your assistance in the attack."
"It would be very troublesome if our team didn't have a second scoring point besides me."
Mitsui Hisaru's words surprised Budo. In fact, he had already seen the decline of Xiangbei. When Chiba in Lingnan completely gave up the inside line to help Sendo to help defend Mitsui Hisashi, Budo knew that Mitsui Hisashi would be restricted.
If Mitsui Hisashi faced ordinary players, he would not be under much pressure even if it was one-on-one, but Lingnan's defender was Sendao.
Just dealing with Sendō on his own has already consumed a huge amount of physical energy. Now that there is an extra Ryoji Ikegami who is pretty good at defending, Hisashi Mitsui is already quite powerful even though his offensive efficiency has declined rather than being completely blocked.
What was surprising about Budo was that he thought that Hisa Mitsui, who was proud of him, would hold on until Mitsui Hisashi's physical strength could no longer support his attack. Unexpectedly, just a quarter of the schedule had passed, and Mitsui Hisaru planned to let Budo Participated in the attack.
"Okay, I'll fire a few shots to attract attention."
"You can take advantage of this time to allocate your physical energy."
"But if I am the one attacking, the pressure you face will not be reduced. Lingnan High School will not continue to pour defensive power on me."
"If the rest of the team doesn't score, you still have to face the pursuit of two people."
"In fact, the best situation now is for Chiba to come out and shoot a few balls to put some defensive pressure on Lingnan."
Budo and Mitsui Hisashi jogged to the center line to receive the serve from their teammates in the backcourt while discussing countermeasures. Coach Anzai doesn't give any guidance, and the two of them are the brains of Xiangbei.
"Chiba... let's forget it. This guy's mid-range shot is terrible. Let him attack from mid-range and long-range. It's better for you and me to make strong shots against the defense."
"You play a few balls first. It's best to mobilize the other people in Lingnan. I can take advantage of this moment to catch my breath."
Hisashi Mitsui played several rounds in a row, running a lot of distance under the defensive pressure of Sendō and Ikegami, which consumed a lot of physical energy. If he stopped being more restrained, Hisashi Mitsui might not be able to finish the whole game.
"Well, try your best, but I guess that guy won't let anyone help."
Budo nodded and saw that Miyagi had brought the ball close to the midline and started running towards the frontcourt. As soon as Martial Arts approached the three-point line south of Ling, Shinomiya Tano was already on guard, leaning slightly down, looking on guard.
The opponent's defensive position is still about three meters away from the three-point line. It can be seen that the offensive power of Jinguji Martial Arts still makes Shinomiya Tano fearful.
"What are you and Mitsui Hisashi talking about?"
"Let me guess, is that guy a little tired?"
"Although running through and using pick-and-rolls can give him a chance to take shots under the pressure of Xiandao and Ikegami, every shot means a huge amount of physical energy consumption."
"Misui Shou, you must be a little unable to hold on, right? Now, is it your turn to attack?!"
Shinomiya Tanoko said, his mouth opened, his tongue stretched out and he licked his lips, with a look of excitement on his face. At this time, Shinomiya Tano, who was standing in front of Jinguji Budo, was like a tiger that had been hungry for several days and saw raw meat for the first time. The greed and desire in his eyes put considerable pressure on Budo.
Staring at the field of the fourth house in front of him, Wu Dao suddenly chuckled and replied: "Ho ho, you are right."
"It's my turn next, so be prepared and don't blink!"
Budo said, when he saw Miyagi crossing the midline, he immediately put his back on Shinomiya Nono and raised his hand to ask for the ball. Martial Arts suddenly became more active, and Shinomiya Tano also suppressed his smile. Facing the oppression of Martial Arts, he did not show any weakness at all. He supported Martial Arts' back with his forearm, but his feet did not move.
"Sure enough..." Martial Arts could feel the terrifying force coming from his back. Although he did not actively push him, the pressure of Martial Arts could not make the opponent take even half a step back.
Miyagi, who was holding the ball, saw Budo asking for the ball and did not hesitate. He immediately threw the ball and lobbed it to Budo.
Wu Dao jumped forward and held the flying basketball in his arms. He didn't dare to stand there and wait for the ball to come over. Wu Dao knew that the opponent he faced was different from all the opponents he had encountered before, and there was absolutely no way he could relax.
Budo, who was rushing to catch the ball, was further away from the three-point line. Budo, who was holding the ball, turned his back to Shinomiya and made a pick-and-roll gesture towards Miyagi Ryota.
Miyagi, who received Budo's signal, quickly came over, but Shinomiya Tano, who was behind Budo, didn't notice Budo's gesture at all.
When he saw Miyagi Ryota approaching, he instinctively took a step back quickly, leaving a gap for pursuit.
Just as Shinomiya moved his body, Jinguji Budo, who was carrying the basket, suddenly turned around with the ball and suddenly accelerated and rushed along the right side where he is best.
Wu Dao started suddenly. Miyagi Ryota was still far away from the pick-and-roll, but Wu Dao made a breakthrough.
This is also Budo's plan. Miyagi Ryota's pick-and-roll will definitely create enough gaps for him to break through. If Shinomiya defends closely and keeps putting pressure on him, it will not be easy to break through the opponent's defense, but if the opponent opens a 1-2 meter defensive gap, it will be much easier to break through.
The defensive distance means dribbling space, and a large dribbling space means more confusing moves can be made.
Shinomiya Tano, who was facing him, obviously did not realize the martial arts intention. The moment the martial arts breakthrough started, he reacted immediately and moved his body laterally, trying to block the martial arts breakthrough path.
However, although the martial arts holding the ball is fast, the movements are still quite sensitive. The moment Shinomiya's position deviated, the martial arts paused very slightly, his knees were slightly bent, and his arms were moving more than normal. The swing arm of the ball is slightly expanded, as if preparing to change direction in front of the body.
All of this means that martial arts is ready to change direction! Shinomiya Tano noticed the details of this action immediately.
Martial arts moves very fast, but Shinomiya's motor nerves and motor vision are also terrifyingly strong. Without any hesitation, Shinomiya's feet quickly moved, and his body moved towards the left side of Martial Arts. If Jinguji If Wu Dao changes direction in front of his body, he will directly hit him and cause an offensive foul.
"Sure enough, only people like you would be fooled by the disguised induction of my frequency!"
When Jinguji Budo saw Shinomiya's stance, his heart suddenly became clear. His outstretched arms quickly closed, and he accelerated towards the right to break through.
The change of direction he made before was just to induce Shinomiya's defensive position.
"Direction induction? How is this possible?!"
Shinomiya's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously reached out to block Jinguji Budo, but the disguise of defense prevented him from focusing immediately, and he was unable to keep up with the onrushing Jinguji Budo.
On Lingnan's side, only one person, Shinomiya Tano, was assigned to defend the martial arts, and it could be seen that the people in Lingnan believed in each other. On the martial arts side, there was not much defensive power at all.
Wu Dao quickly crossed the three-point line and made an emergency stop jumper from the mid-range. Wu Dao did not choose to shoot a three-pointer at this time, but chose the most reliable mid-range pull-up jumper.
After all, widening the point difference is not what Xiangbei has to do at this time. What they have to do at this stage is to first maintain their existing advantage.
Jinguji Budo broke through Shinomiya and scored a shot, which caused a burst of cheers from the audience, but some spectators shouted loudly at Shinomiya at this time:
"Hey, that guy in Lingnan, be careful on your defense. Don't let him go so easily~"
The audience was shouting, but it wasn't because they meant to ridicule Shinomiya Tōno. But in the eyes of the audience, the shot just now was like Shinomiya taking the initiative to give way and let Jinguji Budo pass.
The pace of Martial Art's direction change induction is very fast, so fast that if you don't have excellent motor nerves and are far away, you won't be able to see his intention to change direction at all.
If the defensive player standing in front of Budo was an ordinary high school player, he would most likely not even move because he would not be able to react at all.
The saying that a fool beats a master is not just a saying on the basketball court.
But obviously, Shinomiya Tanano is the master, and martial arts traps are specially designed for such masters.
"Well done, Budo!"
"I can finally breathe."
Mitsui Hisashi came to Budo's side when he returned to defense, happily patted Budo's back and praised him. At the same time, he felt lucky in his heart that Jinguji Martial Arts joined Shobei, which was really good news for him.
Mitsui Hisashi still remembers that a year ago, on this court, their Shohoku played against Shoyang High School. Even though he fought hard until he ran out of energy, he still couldn't save Shohoku's defeat. The most fatal problem in Shohoku at that time was that there was no one else but him. Scored a point.
The addition of martial arts this year has brought Xiangbei not only an increase in vitality, but also made Xiangbei's ability to attack difficult problems jump to the top.
"It's just so-so. The main thing is that the opponent is good."
Martial Arts smiled, and after returning to his position, he looked at Shinomiya Fields opposite. At this time, Shinomiya Tiandou was talking to Xiandao and Yuzhu.
"Tianye, what happened just now? Why did you suddenly let that guy go?"
"I didn't even react to make up the defense."
"Are you OK?"
Jun Uozumi walked to Shinomiya's side and said concernedly. He was worried that Shinomiya was sick and had difficulty concentrating.
"I'm fine, just now..."
"I fell into that guy's trap."
"I judged from the details of his breakthrough movements that he would change direction in front of his body, but my prediction was wrong. It was that guy's trap."
Shinomiya Tano explained to his teammates. Sendō's face froze after hearing this, but Uozumi scratched his hair, not knowing what to say. Yuzhu didn't believe Tian Ye's words. He thought his teammates were distracted and neglected to make up for it. He simply missed the point.
Now Uozumi was like a spectator watching a penalty shootout. He suddenly saw the goalkeeper rushing towards the completely opposite direction of the penalty kick and felt that the goalkeeper was distracted.
But he never imagined that the goalkeeper would pounce in the completely opposite direction of the player's shot. That was because the player who shot the shot had many confusing fake moves.
How could the audience in the stands notice the details of the war on the field, and Uozumi was almost the same as the audience in the stands~
Because he couldn't understand why Shinomiya Tano suddenly gave up his position.
"Tianye, do you need Chishang to help you?"
"Shōhoku is probably ready to fight Jinguji Martial Arts. With Ikegami's help, you can save some energy and use it on the offensive end."
Sendō is different from Uozumi. He is one of the few players on the field who can understand the horror of Jinguji martial arts. At this time, he suddenly suggested.
"No need for now, I will find a way to keep an eye on him. Even if I can't, I won't let him shoot so easily again."
"Besides, on the offensive end, there's still you."
"If Jinguji Budo starts to show strength, I will do my best to stop him. At that time, the offensive end will be up to you, Sendo."
Shinomiya Tōno said to Sendō with a smile, and then trotted towards the frontcourt.
After leaving Sendō and Uozumi, there was no longer any smile on Shinomiya's face. He entered the frontcourt expressionlessly. When he approached the Shohoku three-point line, the Budo defense was in place. In front of him, Shinomiya Tano took a deep look at Martial Arts and whispered:
"I won't give you such a chance again. I will try my best to block you in this game!"
Jinguji Martial Arts smiled when he heard this and didn't care. It's just harsh words, just a little trick to manipulate people's mentality. If you use it on that little fool Sakuragi, it may not work. If you use it on him, it would be too underestimated.
"In today's game, I plan to score 30 points casually."
"Just over your head!"
