As Lingnan High School advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, everyone in Xiangbei also returned to their own half early to complete their positions.
Following Coach Taoka's instructions, Tomoyuki Uekusa immediately gave the ball to Shinomiya on the side after entering the frontcourt. At this time, the position where he caught the ball was still nearly one meter away from the three-point line, but Jinguji Budo, the defender, had already moved up. The two were about half a meter apart, and Budo's knees were only slightly bent. Obviously, while guarding against the opponent's breakthrough, he is also guarding against the opponent's sudden shot.
Budo didn't know what the level of Shinomiya's three-point shooting was, so it was necessary to be careful.
When Shinomiya saw Budo's defensive position, he did not hesitate and dropped the ball directly to break through from his left side. His right arm is the strongest and he can make the most of his ball protector when breaking in from the left side. Forming oppression on martial arts.
"Peng!" With a muffled sound, Shinomiya's side pushed hard against Wu Dao's body.
The huge force made Wu Dao unable to stand, and he took half a step back before regaining his balance. However, there was no obvious pain in Wu Dao's chest after the confrontation, and it had no impact on his subsequent defensive actions.
Sliding sideways, Jinguji Budo, who had been pushed away, quickly returned to Shinomiya. This surprised Shinomiya, who thought he had escaped smoothly. Without any hesitation, physical confrontation once again turned to Jinguji Martial Arts. At the same time, Shinomiya Tano successfully advanced to the middle distance with the help of the terrifying power of Jinguji Martial Arts once again.
"Is this guy a bull?" Wu Dao cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to think too much at this time. Seeing that he had entered the opponent's shooting range, he raised his arms and chased after him again.
At the same time, Takenori Akagi, who was occupying the inside line, saw Shinomiya Tanano getting closer and closer, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, decisively gave up Uozumi and came to help defend, while Miyagi Ryota, who secretly followed and was about to take the ball, also got closer and closer. The closer.
For a time, Jinguji Budo, Takenori Akagi and Miyagi Ryota formed a perfect double-team on Shinomiya.
Shinomiya, who rushed forward with the ball, noticed Takenori Akagi who was assisting in defense, and saw Jinguji Budō who had returned to him. While pushing against Budō to maintain his position, he held the ball in his arms with his left hand and began to step forward. Speed up the steps.
Two steps later, Shinomiya Tano jumped up. In front of him, Budo and Akagi jumped up one after another, raising their four arms, instantly blocking Shinomiya Tōno's sight and all his pitching routes.
"It's sealed! Miyagi, pay attention to grabbing the ball!" Mitsui Hisashi on the outside saw the situation inside, his face lit up, and he reminded Miyagi loudly. But as soon as he finished speaking, Mitsui Shou was stunned by the scene in front of him.
After Shinomiya took off, his body made a strange turn in the air. He instantly got rid of the blockade of Budo and Akagi, and at the same time, his body was already behind the backboard.
However, Shinomiya didn't seem to notice that he was already at a negative angle and had no intention of passing the ball. He quickly changed the ball to his right hand and hooked the ball from the bottom edge of the backboard to the backboard from behind.
"Snapped!"
"Uh-huh!"
After a crisp sound of hitting the board, the basketball entered the net and made a subtle squeaking sound.
Wingspan, jumping, core strength, body coordination. Shinomiya took it all to the extreme, sending the ball into the basket from impossible angles. At the same time, Shinomiya was unable to stand firm after landing. In order to relieve the pressure on his ankle, Shinomiya fell to the ground and slid a distance of more than ten centimeters.
“Whoa oh oh oh!
"
"It's amazing, you actually scored the ball?! It's impossible from that angle, right?!"
As Shinomiya Tano fell to the ground, there was a burst of exclamation from the audience. Everyone was incredible for his goal. Even the well-informed coach Anxi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Obviously his mood was not as calm as he appeared.
"This person...how is this possible?!" Takenori Akagi looked at the basketball on the ground in a daze. He clearly saw that he and Martial Arts had blocked all the opponent's routes, but the opponent was still able to hit the ball. Enter. Such an incredible action could be accomplished. He had never seen it before in his entire life.
If Jinguji Budo is based on copying Dai Yume's footsteps and Jordan's shooting, then Shinomiya's foothold on the court is based on physical talent and copying Master Joe's layup skills.
Two people took two paths, but at the same time they created the invincible myth so far.
"Nothing is impossible. There will be many people who can do the same action. It's just that you can just play it off the court. No one will treat it as a normal method in the game."
"Not only does Shinomiya dare, he can also score. This is his strength."
"Start the attack, Akagi, don't think too much, victory belongs to us in Xiangbei!"
When Budo heard Akagi's voice, he simply said a few words of relief. No matter how fancy the goal was, it could only be two points. The referee will not give you two more points because of your wonderful performance. Such goals are more to dampen the opponent's momentum. Once the idea of "the opponent is unstoppable" appears in Takenori Akagi's mind, Akagi will Concentration on the court will become unfocused.
Jinguji Budo didn't know if his words were of any use to Akagi, but he noticed the expressions of Chiba and Akagi. Shinomiya's goal just now left a deep impression on these two people.
"I guess you can't ease these people's mood with your words, you have to score goals!"
Wu Dao thought in his mind, clapped his hands and made a sound. Everyone in Xiangbei looked at Wu Dao in confusion, not understanding what happened.
"Pass the ball to me and for the rest of the first half, I took over offensively!"
Wu Dao's words did not arouse objections from the team members. Even Mitsui Hisashi nodded silently and agreed with Wu Dao's idea. At this moment, Mitsui Hisashi had the idea of conserving his strength for the second half of the game. He could see that Budo and Lingnan's Shinomiya Tōno were already at their wits' end.
Mitsui Hisako has no idea of facing off against Shinomiya. His trip to the United States allowed him to see the vastness of the world. Although Mitsui Hisako is still proud, he also knows that players in this world are different. Yes, there are always some people whom he cannot defeat by fighting alone.
Mitsui Hisashi is also very aware of his own strength. If it is one-on-one, he is not Shinomiya's opponent, and he may not be able to benefit from the opponent's single defense. But Hisashi Mitsui is confident that if he leads the team in a game, his role on the court will never be smaller than anyone else.
Now Lingnan's two people, Xiandao and Chishang, who are keeping an eye on him, are enough to explain the problem.
In the Shohoku offensive round, when Miyagi Ryota advanced with the ball, Budo was already looking for a suitable offensive position in the frontcourt. Using Akagi's pick-and-roll inside, Budo crossed from the left side of the court to the right mid-range, and the four There was a distance of about one meter between Miyako and Konano.
Such a distance only required two steps for Shinomiya Tano, but within the gap of these two steps, the basketball had already flown out of Miyagi's hands and landed in Budo's hands.
Against Lingnan's Uekusa, Miyagi passed the ball quite easily. It seemed that Miyagi could pass the ball whenever he wanted. These two defenders are of similar height, but the gap in ability is not the slightest.
Starting with the basketball, Budo leaned against the basket and tilted his head slightly to notice Shinomiya's approach. After blowing the ball, his body quickly swung to the right, seemingly accelerating his turn. Just as Shinomiya's defensive position had just shifted, the next moment, Jinguji Budo took a big step forward with his right foot towards the left, then stood up and shot a fadeaway jumper.
A simple shoulder movement coupled with a long stride and turn, instantly opened up a distance of nearly one meter between Shinomiya Nono. At the same time, Budo's fadeaway jump shot became out of reach in Shinomiya Nono's eyes. And, obviously he was only deflected by the shoulder guard for half a shot, but martial arts turned it into a gap of nearly one meter.
I don’t know how many times Wu Dao has used the same fadeaway shot. The basketball hit the board at a 45-degree angle and hit the net.
The crisp goal relieved the suffocating Shohoku substitutes. Compared to Shinomiya's gorgeous layup, Budo's goal seemed "mediocre."
Every movement of Jinguji Martial Arts gives the audience the feeling that I can do whatever I want, isn’t it just the steps? They thought they could do it, but it was actions like this that made martial arts unstoppable on the court.
Isn't it just footsteps? What a simple sentence to say. But people who watch the game never know that even in their eyes, the footwork of "I can do it even if I'm on top" is actually what many players can't do after practicing it all their lives.
The training camp held by Dameng after his retirement has taught many players. Many of them are superstars, but how many of them have learned the essence from each of them?
The basketball talent of Jinguji Budo is only part of what is visible to the naked eye.
Budo's response ball officially kicked off the battle between him and Shinomiya. For the rest of the first half, the field turned into a arena where the two dueled.
A player who tears apart defenses with his strong body and scores frequently with his weird layups. One, relies on the strength of the team to get into the right position, relies on the superb footsteps that can instantly open the distance with any movement, and relies on the graceful and elegant fadeaway jumper to score frequently.
The two brought their respective playing styles to the extreme, and as the game progressed, Budo's shooting distance became farther and farther, and Shinomiya's layup position became closer and closer. Later, Budo began to try to shoot three-pointers against the defense, and Shinomiya began to perform dunks.
For this reason, Takenori Akagi also suffered two fouls, but still failed to stop Shinomiya Tanano, who played increasingly violently.
The score between the two teams was also very tight. Budo and Shinomiya Tano's offensive efficiency was similar. Under Shinomiya Tōno's defense, Budō missed a lot of shots. At the same time, Shinomiya Tōno was not always able to face Akagi's help defense. He can successfully score a layup.
On the court, Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tano seemed to be at odds with each other.
49:47, less than two minutes of game time.
"It's so powerful. These two people are so powerful. They are facing each other tit for tat, and they won't give in at all!"
"The strength of these two first-year players is not even the same as other players. They are too strong!"
"We have this pair of twin stars in Kanagawa. There's no telling if we can beat Akita Prefecture in this year's Aki no Kokutai!"
The audience on the sidelines discussed excitedly while watching the fierce confrontation in the field. At this point in the game, it no longer mattered about Shohoku fans or Lingnan fans. The strength of Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tanano had long been conquered. Fans of each other.
Those who like the elegant and agile Jinguji Martial Arts also recognize Shinomiya's toughness, while fans who like Shinomiya's domineering style of play also admit that Jinguji Martial Arts is unmatched.
Sakuragi Hanamichi and everyone in the Sakuragi Legion, who came to watch the game with Haruko, had already been deeply attracted by this game. Even members of the Sakuragi Legion who don't understand basketball, and even rookie Hanamichi who has only been exposed to basketball for a long time, can intuitively feel the excitement.
Sakuragi was intoxicated by the feeling of ups and downs as the score went up and down.
At the end of the first half, Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tanano were both physically exhausted to a certain extent. Todoroki's rhythm unconsciously slowed down.
On the court, Shinomiya was dribbling the ball calmly, breathing steadily while also looking for defensive loopholes in martial arts.
At this point in the game, Shinomiya was shocked to realize that the person facing him seemed to be unable to feel pain. No matter how he resists the opponent when he breaks through, the confrontation seems not to be felt at all, and he can often follow up again immediately.
It is normal for a normal person to rub his chest and run away after being hit by his power. However, Jinguji Martial Arts can come back to him again and again, and can even suppress his attacks. , and what’s even more frightening is that Jinguji Budo’s shooting didn’t seem to be affected in any way.
As for Jinguji Martial Arts, it was hard to describe at this time. The pain in the body was indeed not noticeable, but the physical fatigue was getting stronger and stronger. Both offense and defense are going all out, and their physical energy is being depleted much faster than before. Moreover, the physical confrontation with Shinomiya Tano would consume even more physical energy.
After this fight, it was no less than a boxing match with an evenly matched opponent. After all, you can take a break after three minutes in boxing, but you can't rest in three minutes while playing. The key is to play against Shinomiya, which is not much different from the confrontation in boxing. In addition to physical confrontation with the ball, he also does not directly hit the face.
The rest is actually not much different.
Sometimes I get tired of being challenged in martial arts, and I think I should just use blood choke to finish the opponent off.
Fortunately, Wu Dao is calm enough to know that this is a ball game and that the opponent is a "normal" physical confrontation.
Just as Wu Dao was thinking wildly, Shinomiya Tano suddenly made a move. He leaned down and quickly broke through. He noticed that Wu Dao's attention seemed to be distracted.
However, the next second, Jinguji Budo directly pushed his body against the opponent. Although Budo took a big step back as a result, Shinomiya Tano's advance was also directly stopped.
Just as Shinomiya was about to adjust the rhythm and start again, a short black figure suddenly appeared in the corner of Shinomiya's eyes.
"Pop!" With a soft sound, Miyagi jumped out from Shinomiya's blind spot and slapped the basketball. After stealing the ball, he quickly ran towards the frontcourt.
The height of Miyagi, who is less than 170cm and only about 165cm, may not even be 160cm when he is wearing clothes, and he is 40cm behind Shinomiya. This means that when he comes to steal the ball, Shinomiya has no way to do it immediately. aware.
If short players want to stay on the court, they also need to be able to use their height "advantage"!
"Quick attack!" Wu Dao actually didn't notice Miyagi's arrival because he didn't see him either. After Miyagi started to speed up, Budao gave a loud shout and followed up.
But if he had to wait for a fast break, it would be too late. In this moment, Miyagi had already completed the fast break and scored a layup.
51:47.
Coach Anxi watched the scoreboard change with a smile.
If there is anything that Lingnan is inferior to Xiangbei, it is the gap at the point guard line.
However, Coach Anzai's smile did not last long. He turned to look at Fujima, who was sitting on the Lingnan bench with an annoyed look. The opponent was currently annoyed that his teammate had lost the ball.
"The current weakness of Lingnan is obvious...but if it comes to the national competition, Lingnan will become quite scary..."
"The Indestructible King of the Great Village"
