Toyotama High School lost the ball again and quickly retreated. Takenori Akagi, who got the basketball, protected the ball with both hands. After Toyotama's people left for a while, the ball was given to Miyagi who was in charge.
There was no fast break opportunity for Shohoku in this round, so Shohoku High School's entire offensive rhythm slowed down. By the time Miyagi crossed the center line with the ball and the other Shohoku players were in position in the frontcourt, nearly ten seconds had passed in the attack time. .
The zone defense adopted by Toyotama High School is mainly to consolidate the strength of the inside line. They attach much more importance to the center Takenori Akagi than to Budo, and the defensive strength of the outside line also focuses on Hisashi Mitsui.
Shohoku used a relatively simple and direct attack method in this round of offense. Miyagi dribbled to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Mitsui Hisashi, and then quickly came to Mitsui to assist in the pick-and-roll. Although the quality of Miyagi's pick-and-roll is average, the opponent's short defensive gap is enough for Mitsui Juten to make a shot.
Mitsui Hisashi's shooting position was nearly one meter away from the three-point line. Toyotama's defensive players obviously did not expect that Mitsui Hisashi would actually shoot a three-pointer from such a position. They did not even interfere first. Time is given to Hisashi Mitsui.
This made Mitsui Hisashi's shot look extremely easy.
The basketball flew directly across the half court and fell into the basket.
Although the basketball hit the net, Shohoku High School led Toyotama by 8 points, and at this time, it was less than a minute before the game started.
"Wow!
Xiangbei scored another three-pointer! Already 8 points ahead! "
"The two steals made by No. 15 were so crucial. The A-level team Fengyu had no power to fight back!"
"This game won't be a 'lower defeats the upper' game, right?!"
There were bursts of exclamations from the audience, and Jinguji Budo and Mitsui Hisashi instantly became the focus of the stadium.
"It's a beautiful shot. If you feel good today, you can shoot more and less suddenly to save some energy for the next game."
Jinguji Budo and Mitsui Hisashi returned to the field to defend while communicating. Although Toyotama was rated as an A-level team, they did not feel any pressure in martial arts. Not long after the game started, Wu Dao was already thinking about the next game.
The victory of the game seemed to be within his grasp.
"Yeah, that's what I thought too."
"Akagi should still have some advantages in the paint. Now that we are ahead, we can make more shots."
Mitsui Hisashi smiled and replied that today's game started smoothly, which also made his confidence soar.
Different from the relaxed mentality of the Shohoku side, Toyotama's side, which fell behind by 8 points in less than a minute after the opening, looked a little gloomy. Nan Lie lost two goals in a row, which put heavy pressure on the team to chase points.
"Nan Lie, what's wrong with you?"
"You conceded two goals in a row. Are you feeling unwell?"
Toyotama's players didn't think about Nan Lie's lack of ability at all. As the leading scorer in Osaka this year, how could Nan Lie's ability be insufficient?
Even in the national competition, the other members of Toyotama did not believe that anyone could seal a top player like Nan Lie. They felt that Nam Yeol lost the ball because of Nam Yeol's lack of concentration, so they wondered if Nam Yeol was sick, causing him to be in poor condition.
"I'm not feeling unwell."
"I will get back the points I lost with my own hands!"
Nan Lie whispered in a firm tone. Seeing him like this, the players said nothing more and quickly took the ball across the center line after kicking off.
As Toyotama started to attack again, Jinguji Budo walked silently in front of Nanlie. There was less than half a meter between them. Nanlie could clearly feel the energy coming from Jinguji Budou. That horrible feeling of oppression.
This is not to say that the martial arts momentum is terrifying, he just maintains his usual defensive posture. However, Nan Lie, who had two goals cut off, actually had some fear of martial arts in his heart. However, Nan Lie didn't realize it. He just felt that the oppression of Jinguji martial arts was very strong for some reason.
"This guy is very tall, has a great wingspan, is fast, and has a lot of strength."
"I'm at a disadvantage in one-on-one breakthroughs. I need to use quick conduct to create space for myself to take action."
Nan Lie was thinking silently in his heart, glanced sideways at the player holding the ball, quickly started, and moved along the three-point arc toward the top of the arc. There, the point guard of Toyotama High School was looking for a breakthrough opportunity.
"Pass the ball!" Nan Lie, who was moving, put his hands in front of his chest in a catching posture, and shouted to his teammates at the same time.
At the top of the arc, the basketball was handed to Nan Lie. Guard Feng Yu who released the ball thoughtfully helped Nan Lie set up a pick-and-roll, trying to avoid Kabuto's movement. However, Jinguji Budo was obviously aware of the opponent's intentions and had no intention of pursuing Nan Lie. Instead, he bypassed the pick-and-roll and cut across to the three-point line, preparing to intercept Nan Lie's breakthrough.
After Toyotama passed the ball, Miyagi Ryota stood in front of Nanretsu and defended Nanretsu. He did not immediately cover up the previous defender because as far as he knew, Nanretsu was Toyotama's. The leading scorer and has excellent three-point skills.
Nanyeol received the ball and faced Miyagi, which was a big mismatch.
Faced with such an opponent, Nan Lie didn't have any excuse at all. He directly launched a breakthrough and used his body to eat Miyagi, and easily passed Miyagi Ryota's defense line.
However, Nan Lie had just broken through Miyagi City when he directly saw Jinguji Budo standing not far in front of him. The next second, he had no intention of continuing to break through and turned to look at the player in his vacant position. Pass the ball directly.
"Empty seat!"
Budo glanced at the vacant Toyotama player and murmured, but he had no intention of making up for it. He seemed to have given up on defending any player.
The next second, Toyotama's point guard shot directly from outside the three-point line.
"The shooting posture is not very good. This guard is not good at three-pointers." Hisashi Mitsui on the outside made his own judgment when he saw the opponent's shooting posture. Sure enough, the opponent's ball hit the edge of the basket and went directly to The outside collapses and flies out.
"Rebound!" There was no need for martial arts to remind him. Takenori Akagi under the basket was already ready to grab the rebound. Toyotama's center was simply not strong enough in front of him, and was directly pushed out by Akagi. Drop point.
As for Toyotama's power forward, Mari Kishimoto, who wears the No. 8 jersey, pushed Chiba away and occupied a good position.
However, with a height of only about 185cm, he really does not have the advantage to grab rebounds when facing Takenori Akagi, who is more than ten centimeters taller than him.
Without any surprise, Akagi controlled the rebound in his hands. Akagi took the ball and threw it directly towards the frontcourt. At this moment, Miyagi Ryota and Mitsui Hisashi were already running towards the frontcourt. On Toyotama's side, the only player who returned to defense in time was the point guard who had just shot a three-pointer.
In the two-on-one frontcourt, Mitsui Hisashi and Miyagi passed the basketball to each other and easily passed Toyotama's defense, and then Miyagi scored a layup.
The score reached 10:0. Although Toyota's coach slapped his thigh anxiously, he did not call a timeout.
Now Toyotama's players still have fighting spirit, and the game has only started for more than a minute, and there is still a lot of time in the first half. Calling a timeout at this time means that in the next 18 minutes or so, they Toyotama No more adjustments and arrangements can be made.
"Slow down, not so fast!"
"Don't think about using three-pointers to quickly recover the score, play ball by ball, the game has just begun!"
"Go first and play more steadily!"
Toyotama's coach stood on the sidelines and yelled. Now he just hopes that the players can hear his shouting and quickly adjust their status to maintain the situation on the court.
Although the coach's words were correct, Toyotama's players did not take this coach, who had no authority, seriously, and no one would listen to his words.
"Too slow! The conduction speed is still slow, we have to increase the speed!"
"Don't give Xiangbei time to react."
"Maintaining the current style of play, there is no problem with our offensive method. It's just that the shooting feel is not good, but it doesn't matter. If there is an opening, just shoot it. Don't be timid."
"Kishimoto, stop standing inside and grab rebounds. Pull outside to set a pick-and-roll for us. I will pass the ball back to you if I have the chance."
"Everyone cheer up and score points!"
When the ball was transferred, Nanlie supported the players who were in possession of the ball and talked about the offensive arrangements with the players. Shohoku High School only scored 4 goals in total. Jinguji Budo's two steals converted into 5 points, and Budo's own opening three-pointer pushed the score to 8 points.
The two points lost this time were mainly due to the players not being able to score.
Failure to score in open spaces is not a matter of tactics, but a matter of insufficient ability of the players.
Nan Lie felt that their Toyotama's offensive rhythm did not need to change. As long as he remained stubborn, attacked Jinguji Budo's defense line alone, and implemented run-and-gun tactics well, their Toyotama would never lose to Shohoku.
At this time, Nan Lie did not underestimate the martial arts of Jinguji Temple at all. In fact, he paid more attention to the martial arts of Jinguji Temple than ever before. Although Nan Lie was arrogant, he was not stupid enough to see clearly the difference in strength between the enemy and ourselves. He knew that he was no match for Jinguji Martial Arts one-on-one, but in basketball, was it one-on-one?
Toyotama High School is advancing very fast, with no intention of slowing down at all.
The same tactic appeared on the court again. Nan Lie ran to the top of the arc to catch the ball. After the point guard Toyotama released the ball, he went to Kabuto's position, allowing Nan Lie to have a gap. The tactics were exactly the same, and there was no difference in the response from Shohoku's side. Budao still ignored the vacant defender and helped defend behind Miyagi.
This time, Nan Lie still passed the ball to the open player, but this time, the opponent learned the lesson and did not shoot another three-pointer, but rushed inside with the ball.
You can let go of three-pointers, but you can't let go of breakthroughs.
Without any hesitation, Wu Dao moved directly and rushed towards the opponent. In less than two seconds, Wu Dao had already arrived in front of the opponent and blocked the opponent's way. Facing Budo's defense, Toyotama's point guard was also very sensible. Instead of attacking hard, he turned his head and passed the ball to Nan Lie from the outside.
At this time, Nanlie just squeezed Miyagi away with his body, successfully caught the basketball in the mid-range, and then made an emergency stop and shot directly into the open space.
"Whoa!" With a soft sound, Toyotama High School finally scored a goal. Those Toyotama substitutes had been holding back for a long time, and when they saw the team score, they immediately cheered loudly.
"After changing the defense at a high position, the big one hits the small one. If I defend the defender Fengtama, Nanlie will definitely be able to easily break through Miyagi's defense."
"If I choose to block Nanlie, the opponent will pass the ball, giving the point guard a chance to break through. Once I go over to cover the defense, I will pass the ball back."
"It's the same as Nan Lie versus Miyagi. It's easy to open the attack gap."
"In the final analysis... Miyagi's defense is still not enough to restrict Nan Lie. This kid was used as a breakthrough!"
Jinguji Budo saw Toyotama scoring a goal and mentally deduced Toyotama's pick-and-roll tactic. It's very simple, nothing special, but it is very efficient against a team like Shohoku with an obvious defensive slot.
Miyagi's height is such a disadvantage. Generally speaking, if the team wants to make up for such a defensive leakage, it needs to use zone defense to limit the opponent. Put Miyagi personally into the defensive system of zone defense. His personal shortcomings will be Made up for it by the team.
However, if Miyagi is incorporated into a regional defense system, his personal mobility will not be able to play a role on the defensive end. Miyagi, who has lost his personality, might as well replace him with Kimugure Kimibu. For Shohoku, , the gain outweighs the loss.
"In this game, it seems that focusing on defense is not going to work."
"Facing a team with a strong perimeter like Toyotama, it's hard to defend!"
"If the game against Toyotama turns into a big battle, it will be difficult for the players to make up for their physical exertion."
Wu Dao murmured in his heart, and had other plans in mind.
First of all, Nanlie needs to be completely destroyed!
"Xiaosan, Liangtian, pass the ball to me." Wu Dao instructed, and then started running towards the frontcourt. Mitsui Hisashi and Miyagi Ryota looked at each other, and they both saw some surprise in each other's eyes. However, the two of them didn't think much and nodded in agreement.
Hisashi Mitsui actually doesn't care about the issue of ball possession or not. As long as he can win, these things are easy to talk about. Moreover, Mitsui Touya was vaguely aware of the strength of Toyotama High School, and he vaguely guessed the martial arts plan.
As long as Nanretsu doesn't fall, Toyotama High School has the ability to counterattack. Instead of playing with Toyotama and consuming physical energy, it is better to let martial arts destroy Nanretsu and defeat Toyotama easily. This is a national competition, a back-to-back format!
During the transition between offense and defense, Miyagi Ryota received the serve from his teammate in the backcourt and quickly advanced with the ball. He crossed the center line and saw Budo who was standing one step outside the three-point line and gave the ball directly.
Wu Dao took a step forward, took the ball in his hands, and then held the ball in front of the frame.
In front of him was Feng Yu's trump card, Nan Lie.
"You have to defend carefully...Nan Lie."
Jinguji Martial Arts whispered. As he spoke, Martial Arts lowered the ball with both hands and leaned his body slightly to the right. It was just a simple movement. In Nan Lie's eyes, it was a clear sign of a breakthrough to his left side.
Without thinking much, Nan Lie slightly adjusted his position and moved slightly towards his left side.
A simple probing step directly affected Nan Lie's position.
The next second, Jinguji Martial Arts in front of him suddenly started, his right foot stepped in front of his left, and he dropped the ball with his left hand and broke through directly. In the blink of an eye, the red figure had already passed by Nan Lie and rushed towards the inside.
Toyotama adopted a 23-zone defense position, but Nanlie was also one of the inside iron triangle. He was worried about martial arts' long-range three-point shots and moved up the defensive position. This time he was passed, and there was no one to defend the large area in the middle of Toyotama. .
The centers of Kishimoto Minori and Toyotama were both in the bottom corners on both sides. Budo broke through and entered the inside line. Although the two were intent on covering up defense, they were slightly stuck in their positions by Akagi and Chiba. When they came to the path of Budo's breakthrough, By that time, Jinguji Budo had already taken off the ball two steps inside the free throw line.
Jinguji Budo grabbed the ball with one hand, and his posture was extremely stretched in the air. In front of him, Toyotama's two defenders were already on his gliding path, but Budo had no intention of evading, and his body directly hit him. On Feng Yu and the others.
"Bang!"
Amid the violent impact, Wu Dao remained unabated. As he approached the basket, he directly poured the ball into the basket with one hand.
Feng Yu and the two who were hit by martial arts took a few steps back before barely regaining their balance.
Jinguji Budo, who succeeded in dunking, grabbed the basket with one arm. The entire basketball stand shook violently and made a "squeaking" sound.
For a moment, the entire arena fell into silence. Everyone stared blankly at Jinguji Martial Arts in the arena, with their mouths open and unable to make any sound.
