"It's rare! A team that doesn't show any timidity when facing our mountain king!"
"Although it is the first time for the team to participate in the national competition, it is really good for these players to be in such a state."
Goro Domoto sat on the bench and quietly looked at the players on Lingnan's side who were warming up. His eyes swept over Uozumi and Hanagata, and finally landed on Sendō and Shinomiya Tōno.
Although Lingnan High School is the first team to participate in the national competition, and the team's rating is only a B-level team in the middle and lower reaches. But the reason why Sanno Industries has been able to dominate the high school basketball world for so many years is not only due to the efforts of the players, but also their game mentality.
Don't underestimate any team. This is the principle that Goro Domoto has adhered to in coaching Sanno for so many years.
Therefore, Goro Domoto also has some knowledge about Lingnan High School, and he also clearly knows who the core figure of this Lingnan High School basketball team is.
While Goro Domoto was observing the Reinan players, Coach Taoka was also observing the Sanno Industrial players. His eyes have been wandering around Kawada Masashi and Fukatsu Kazunari, and he attaches great importance to these two players.
Coach Tian Gang has carefully studied the Sanno Industrial team. If there are any positions where they can beat Lingnan High School, then it is the point position and the center position. If you add another , that’s the depth of the bench.
"Xendao and Tian Tian are definitely the top players in the country. With their ability, no matter what kind of opponent they encounter, they will never lose."
"Although Hanagata used to play center, he is also very capable at the power forward position. He should be able to handle the person who meets Sanno."
"The biggest problem now is the center position and the point guard position."
"Although Fujima is the top point guard in Kanagawa Prefecture, his body is a bit thin. I don't know if he can cope with Sanno's Fukatsu Kazunari. Although Uozumi has outstanding height, his exposure to basketball is still too short. Well, it was a big disadvantage against the center of the Sanwang."
"This game...we in Lingnan need to change our past playing style a little bit!"
Coach Taoka is naturally excited to be able to compete with the national hegemon Sanno Industries, and his mind is also full of the idea of "downcoming the superior". Facing Sanno, he will only be more excited. But after a brief period of excitement, coach Tian Gang began to focus on the next game.
After all, Sanno Industries is not an easy team to deal with. Even Lingnan, which has gathered many masters from Kanagawa Prefecture, may not be able to overcome Sanno Industries.
In previous years, Kanagawa Prefecture had never defeated Akita Prefecture in Aki no Kokusei competitions. The Akita representative team of Aki no Kokusei was actually a team made up of Sanno players.
The stands were filled with spectators at this moment.
Everyone at Xiangbei High School took their seats in the front row and quietly observed the warm-up of the two teams. Caiko took out a small notebook from her bag and introduced the basic situation of the Sanno players she had investigated to the team members.
“This year’s Sanno Industries is a very young team.”
"In previous years, Sanno's main selections in the national competition were all third-year players, but this year, there are two second-year players and one first-year player on their team."
"No. 13, Eiji Sawabita, a first-year small forward, 186cm tall and 73kg in weight."
"His scoring average in the county competition reached a terrifying 36 points, and that was probably not the result of his full performance. In the national competition, he also had an outstanding performance of scoring 50+ points in a single game. He is a very powerful player."
"In terms of strength, terror is not inferior to martial arts."
As Caiko spoke, she glanced sideways at Budo. Seeing that the latter had no expression on his face and showed no intention of refuting, he continued to introduce:
"No. 9, Kazunari Fukatsu, second grade, point guard, height 177cm, weight 70kg."
"He averaged 6 steals per game in the county competition, and his judgment of the situation was also very accurate. Now he is the core figure of Sanno Industries. He basically controls the rhythm of the team and the operation of the basketball. .”
"No. 14, Masashi Kawada, second grade, center, height 190cm, weight 91kg."
"This player seems to be a bit legendary. It is said that when he first entered Sanwang in his freshman year of high school, he played as a defender. He seemed to be only 165cm tall."
"But this person has grown 25cm in the first year of high school. Now, he is 190cm tall. This physical measurement data was reported before the start of the national competition. Their Akita Prefecture prefectural competition ended very early. This person's height My real height is probably 191cm."
When Ayako said this, Miyagi Ryota's hot eyes suddenly fell on Ayako's face, and he asked excitedly:
"Really? This guy has grown 25cm in the first year of high school?!"
"Not only has he grown 25cm, but this guy's figure has also become so burly?!"
"Is this person really a human?"
It was not difficult for others to hear Miyagi's exclamation. Budo can more or less understand Miyagi Ryota's mood at this time, because he is also a freshman in high school this year. When he first entered Shohoku, he was about the same height as Kawada Masashi. But unfortunately, judging from Miyagi's current growth and development, one Things like growing 25cm a year should never happen to him.
Although Miyagi has never felt inferior because of his height, in the final analysis, there is no basketball player who doesn't want to be taller. Although Miyagi doesn't say it, do you know how envious he is when he sees Budo performing confident strikes on the court?
This mediocre scoring method can become a big killer in the hands of martial arts, relying on excellent jumping and height, which is not something ordinary people can possess. This is the talent that almost every young basketball player dreams of!
"Yes, that's right. He has grown 25cm in one year. This also gives him not only excellent physical conditions for confrontation, but also his dribbling and shooting are very good."
"If it weren't for the shortage of Sanwang forward players, given his conditions, he could actually play small forward or even split position."
When Caiko said this, her eyes couldn't help but glance at Jinguji Martial Arts. Jinguji Budo has the body of a center, but also has terrifying speed and shooting ability. Most players cannot even block him in front of Budo, which makes Budo the sharpest offensive weapon in Shobei.
You can imagine how terrifying it would be on the court if Masashi Kawada and Martial Arts were on the same path.
"Masashi Kawada is indeed a very good player."
"In terms of physical condition, they are not much different from Shinomiya Tanano. For Ryonan High School, the so-called 'Neon No. 1 High School Student' is not their biggest enemy. Masashi Kawada is!"
Budao listened to Kawada Masashi's introduction and gave his own judgment. After his words fell, everyone in Xiangbei also turned their attention to the white team No. 14 on the field.
At this time, the warm-up time for both teams has passed.
Under the leadership of their respective captains, the players from the two teams walked back to the rest area to make final preparations.
In the Lingnan rest area, coach Tian Gang held a tactical board in his hand and waved to the players. After the players gathered around, he told the players the tactical layout for the first half:
"Today's starting team members are Uozumi, Hanagata, Fujima, Sendō, and Shinomiya Tōno."
"You five will take the starting positions."
"Uozumi, Hanagata, the two of you guard the basket, and one of you is responsible for the defense on one side. Be careful, even if someone breaks through, you must not let go of the person you should guard, and don't blindly follow him out."
"Uozumi is in charge of Moriyama No. 14 Masashi Kawada, and Hanagata is in charge of Moriyama No. 6 Hiroki Harada."
"On the outside, Ino, you are responsible for guarding No. 13 Sawabita Eiji, and Sendō is responsible for guarding No. 4, Yota Murakatsu."
"Fujima, responsible for defending No. 9, Kazunari Fukatsu."
"Be careful. The opponents you face are all national-level players. Don't take it lightly!"
Coach Taoka was arranging the matchups of the players. Just as he was about to arrange offensive tactics, Shinomiya, who had been silent, suddenly interjected: "Coach, let me guard No. 4, No. 13 Sawabita Eiji, just Let Xiandao defend it."
As Shinomiya Tanoku finished speaking, Coach Taoka also frowned. Coach Taoka is a very strict coach. Even if Shinomiya Tanano is his most valued disciple, if he suddenly interrupts when he is arranging tactics, it will make him a little unhappy.
However, such emotions quickly disappeared. Although Coach Tianoka is strict, he will listen to the opinions of his players.
"Tell me the reason." Coach Tianoka asked directly.
"Uh..." Tian Tian was about to explain, but Xiandao had already taken over.
"I once fought against Eiji Zebei. I misremembered his name before, but now that I saw him again, I remembered him."
"I lost to him when I was in junior high school. Now, I want to win back!"
Xiandao has always given people the impression that he is calm and careless about everything. This is the first time that he has shown such a strong desire to win. His answer was brief, but Coach Tianoka also opened his eyes slightly, a little surprised.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Okay! You have to guard against that Zebita Eiji."
"Xian Dao, don't let me down!"
Coach Tian Gang suddenly burst out laughing, patting Xiandao on the shoulder and exhorting him. He seemed to be very satisfied with Xiandao's current state.
"In terms of offense, Fujima will take the lead. Fujima, if you have a chance, you can take action yourself. It doesn't matter."
"If there is no chance, give the ball to Sendō or Shinomiya and let them attack."
"When attacking, we must actively move. If someone has an opening, we can release the ball as soon as possible. There is no need to hesitate or worry about making mistakes."
"Everyone should play with ease in this game. There is no need to feel pressure!"
"Because I know that you are the strongest team! We, Lingnan, will reach the top this year!"
"Go ahead and show up!"
Coach Tian Gang's voice rose unconsciously at the end, and the Lingnan players were also inspired by him and echoed his words. For a time, the entire Lingnan gave people a feeling of overwhelming momentum.
On the other side of the court, Goro Domoto seemed to have arranged the tactics, and Sanno's players also walked into the court one after another.
The two teams began to take up positions in the center circle.
Sendō stood in front of Eiji Zebei, calming down slightly, waiting for the kick-off. And in front of him, Eiji Sawabita became a little unhappy when he saw that it was Xiandao who was defending him instead of Shinomiya Tanano.
"Hey hey hey, why isn't that Sigong Tiandou guarding me? Xiandao, have you forgotten that you have fought with me before?"
"You are no match for me. Let Shinomiya do it. I also want to try his skills to see if he is qualified to be in the same category as me!"
Obviously, Sawokita Eiji recognized Sendou Akira, but this is normal. Sawokita Eiji played very few games when he was in junior high school. Later, because his senior was not a good person, he stopped playing. . He knew Xiandao and only met him on a field court. There are not many players who can play against Eiji Sawabita and leave him with memories.
Xiandao's skills still left some impression on him.
"I never thought I would see you here again."
"But this time, I won't lose again!"
Sendō replied softly, and after listening to his words, Zebita Eiji had a bright smile on his face.
"Okay, let's defeat you first, and then go find that Shinomiya field."
"To be honest, I have watched your competition. His skills are very simple. Logically speaking, he should be inferior to you."
"When you went to Lingnan, did their coach not trust you? Didn't they give you enough ball rights?"
Zebita Eiji is an out-of-the-box character, and he actually started gossiping at this moment.
"The technology is single... Well."
"Maybe, if you can defeat me, you will have a chance to fight him."
"You'd better tighten your skin. The video is a video after all. The person you think can break through easily may be a nightmare when you actually face it."
As Xiandao spoke, his eyes couldn't help but look at the corner of the stands, where the Xiangbei players were watching the game.
Before Xiandao's gaze could stay for too long, the referee's whistle sounded, pulling Xiandao back from his thoughts.
“Beep!
! "
With a long whistle, the game began, and the basketball was thrown into the air by the referee.
"Drink!
! "The next second, there was a loud shout. Jun Uozumi defeated Masashi Kawada in the jump ball stage and took the lead in shooting the basketball.
"Well done, Uozumi!" Toru Hanagata, who was catching the ball from the side, praised, and then quickly passed the ball back to Fujima. Fujima, who was holding the ball, was about to advance with the ball, but Kazuki Fukatsu suddenly appeared in front of him. In front of him, he reached out and grabbed the basketball.
The game has just begun. The point guard who gets the jump ball is often the most relaxed time, which is the best time to steal.
Fukatsu Kazunari seized the opportunity and tried to steal.
But he just stretched out his hand, and Fujima didn't even dribble the ball. He directly held the ball with both hands, and then passed the ball to Shinomiya Tanano who ran from the side to meet him. After receiving the ball, Shinomiya took over the ball naturally and began to advance with the ball.
"Return to defense!" Seeing that there was no chance, Fukatsu Kazunari shouted, and then quickly retreated.
Shinomiya took the ball and crossed the half-court in a leisurely manner, approaching the three-point line. In front of him, No. 4 Murakatsu Yota of Sanno Industries was already approaching, looking ready.
Yota Murakatsu, the third-year captain of Sanno Industries, is 185cm tall and weighs 76kg. He has comprehensive skills. Before Eiji Sawabita, he was Sanno's top scorer.
"Pick and roll!" Faced with such an opponent, Shinomiya did not attack hard. Instead, he made a gesture and actually called for a pick and roll.
Not far away, Sendo was the first to receive the order and hurried over, but Murakatsu Yota also reacted quickly and broke the pick-and-roll with a simple detour. The pick-and-roll failed, and Xiandao turned back directly, running from behind Shinomiya Tano along the three-point arc in the 45° direction.
And at the moment when Sendō and Shinomiya Tōno crossed paths, Shinomiya Tōno handed the ball to Sendō and quickly cut in after releasing the ball.
Sendō who took the ball didn't stick to the ball at all. As Shinomiya made the cut, he passed the ball directly and landed accurately in Shinomiya's hands. Shinomiya, who took the ball at the free throw line, turned his head and looked at the basket, grinning slightly with a fierce look on his face.
"Say hello to the Mountain King...!"
Shinomiya rushed forward very quickly. After getting the basketball, he quickly accelerated. With just one step, he immediately took off with the ball and glided quickly towards the basket.
At this time, Kawada Masashi and Harada Hiroki under the basket did not expect Shinomiya to cut in so easily, nor did they expect that the opponent would directly join the ball and jump to the basket within one step of the free throw line.
Their common sense tells them that no high school student can combine the ball and attack the basket in that position.
But Shinomiya Tano did this.
In mid-air, Shinomiya held the basketball high with one hand, and his whole body was extremely stretched. Masashi Kawada and Hiroki Harada did not get down immediately, so they just raised their hands symbolically to try to interfere.
However, this kind of defense was no different for Shinomiya. Shinomiya, who was gliding close to the basket, dunked with one hand and slammed the ball into the basket. His body directly hit Harada Hiroshi. The huge impact on the tree knocked the opponent staggering.
The powerful one-handed slam caused the entire basketball stand to shake violently. After landing, Shinomiya smiled at Masashi Kawada and Hiroki Harada and asked softly:
"Why, don't you try to stop me?!"
