The schedule of the national competition is relatively tight, so even during the halftime timeout, the players of the two teams did not return to their respective locker rooms to rest. Instead, they sat directly in the rest area on the field, recovering their physical fitness while waiting for the start of the game. start.
In the stands that were originally packed, there were now a lot more empty seats. The audience also took advantage of this moment of free time to make some adjustments. The already noisy venue became even more lively at this moment.
"Senior Martial Arts... he is really powerful."
"My brother is in Shohoku High School, and his presence is very low."
In the front row of the auditorium, Haruko Akagi looked at Takenori Akagi who was drinking water in the rest area, and suddenly said with emotion. Sakuragi Hanamichi on the side twitched his ears and turned to look at Haruko, his face full of confusion. He didn't know why Haruko suddenly said this.
Feeling Sakuragi Hanamichi's doubtful gaze, Akagi Haruko explained:
"My brother has been much taller than his peers since he was a child. On the basketball court, tall players tend to attract more people's attention."
"My brother's presence on the court has always been very strong, but these days when I watch Xiangbei games, my brother's presence becomes thinner and thinner, and he is not noticed at all."
Sakuragi Hanamichi listened to Akagi Haruko's explanation, and the doubts in his eyes gradually faded away. Although Sakuragi Hanamichi has never officially played a basketball game, he also knows what it means for a player to have a thin presence on the court.
This means that for the team, this player with a thin presence is a dispensable role that can be replaced at any time.
Although Takenori Akagi has not fallen to this level at Shohoku High School, looking at the entire Shohoku team, Takenori Akagi has a small number of possessions and is still a blue-collar player on the court. He is indeed the least noticed player. One of them, and the other player, is Oishi Chiba who plays the power forward position.
As a point guard, Miyagi Ryota is responsible for important ball control and transmission tasks. Although his performance on the court is quite satisfactory, he has received a lot of attention. Mitsui Hisashi, as the second scorer in Shohoku, has not received much attention. Not to mention Jinguji Martial Arts. In the first half of the game, a single player almost scored 50 points. Such a level is undoubtedly the most dazzling presence in the entire stadium.
Compared with these people, Takenori Akagi's attention is really very small. Although Akagi often gets rebounds, because Aiwa's center level is average, he does not form a kind of rebounding with him. It felt like a fight between the dragon and the tiger, so the rebound Akagi grabbed gave people a natural feeling.
Not dazzling, single function.
This is not a good thing for a player.
What Haruko Akagi is worried about is Takenori Akagi’s future.
"Haruko, what's there to worry about?"
"Didn't your brother have a great time playing?"
Sakuragi Hanamichi could see the trace of worry in Haruko's eyes. He looked at Takenori Akagi, who was chatting and joking with his teammates on the bench, and said suddenly. Sakuragi is really a mysterious man. Sometimes he is naive and childish, but sometimes he is able to detect things that are difficult for others to detect.
Haruko was stunned when she suddenly heard Sakuragi's words. After a brief moment of surprise, a bright smile appeared on her face and she said softly: "Yes! Brother, he played very happily."
"Thank you, Sakuragi-kun."
Haruko smoothed the bangs in front of her forehead and tucked her hair behind her ears. The girl's bright and beautiful side face shocked Sakuragi Hanamichi. After a long time, she blushed and scratched the back of her head, and turned her gaze to the field. middle.
Mito Yohei, Takamiya Nozomi and others next to Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at each other with disbelief and surprise on their faces. They were so close that they could smell a trace of the sour smell of love at this moment. This... It actually came from Sakuragi Hanamichi and Akagi Haruko.
The halftime break is neither long nor short. For everyone in Shobei, this halftime break is a bit long. Hisashi Mitsui, Miyagi and others can't wait to get on the court to compete with Ai and Everyone in the academy was killed.
The Aihe players felt that time was not enough. Their coach was holding a tactical board and laying out tactics for the players. The Aihe players also listened carefully. It could be seen that they did not I am willing to lose the game like this.
When the whistle sounded to start the game, Aihe's coach was still talking to the players. It wasn't until the Xiangbei players entered the court that Aihe's coach let the players onto the court.
"Didn't they give up the game... With such a big point difference, what can they do?"
"Substitution, does it really work?"
Jinguji Budo noticed that the five players on the field at Aiwa Academy had been adjusted compared to Wakayama. The player who originally defended Ryota Miyagi was replaced by a player wearing the No. 12 jersey. He had a new face and was taller. Just around 175cm, it is not outstanding, and his body looks somewhat strong. However, apart from having better physical fitness, such a player may not be able to play a key role.
"Beep!"
As a rapid whistle sounded, Jinguji Budo's attention was drawn back to the court. The players from both sides once again completed their positions in the center circle. When the players were ready, the referee blew another whistle. , and then threw the basketball high into the air.
"Hmph!" Takenori Akagi looked up at the basketball thrown by the referee. He snorted softly and then jumped up vigorously. He was the first to hit the basketball. The basketball flew directly towards the second half of the Shohoku area and was picked up by Miyagi Ryota. in hand.
The moment the jump ball was completed, Aiwa's players had already started to retreat. When Miyagi started to advance with the ball, several Aiwa players who ran faster had already completed their positions in the three-point area of their own half.
With the defensive positioning of Aihe Academy completed, everyone in Xiangbei discovered that the opponent's defensive formation had undergone huge changes.
Jinguji Budo slowly ran upfield after the jump ball, but not long after he crossed the center line, Morohoshi Dai and Okamura Ryugo, one on the left and one on the right, formed an attack on Jinguji Budo from two directions. folder. The two stood less than one meter away from the martial arts, one on the left and the other on the left, both close to the three-point line.
In addition, Miyagi Ryota on the Shohoku side has been completely left empty. Mitsui Hisashi is still guarded by one person. The other two Aiwa players, one is positioned under the basket near the baseline, and the other is standing at the free throw line. High ground nearby.
“ohhh!
Look, Aiwa has sent two team members to keep an eye on Jinguji Martial Arts! "
"They changed their formation!"
"You haven't given up hope of victory until now?! Come on, Aihe!"
The change of formation of Aihe Academy attracted a burst of applause from the audience. What's so exciting about a one-sided crushing match? Enter the Dragon is the most interesting game.
"Love and...is this a desperate move!"
"But it is true that at this point in the game, if such drastic measures are not used, Aihe will not see any hope of winning."
"But will such a line of defense really be useful?"
"That boy is from Jinguji Martial Arts!"
Lingnan's coach Tian Gang saw Aihe's defensive formation, raised his chin slightly, and whispered softly. Coach Tianoka has also considered a defensive formation similar to Aiwa.
But facing a player of Jinguji Budo’s caliber, it would be okay if the two defenders in the zone defense had a tacit understanding. If not, this kind of zone defense would not only be unable to contain Jinguji Budo’s offense, but on the contrary, the defense would The two people on Fang will also interfere with each other, making the already poor defense even more vulnerable!
As if to verify Coach Taoka's idea, Miyagi Ryota didn't care at all how many defenders were in front of Budo on the court. After holding the ball and traveling two meters across the center line, he quickly passed the ball sideways to Jinguji. Martial arts.
There was no one on Miyagi's side to defend him. After the ball was released, he silently walked to the mid-range position on the left side of the court and stood still. This position is where Miyagi Ryota has the highest shooting percentage when he practices shooting. Although Miyagi knows that there is a high probability that martial arts will not pass the ball, but what if it happens?
Aiwa Academy didn't care at all about where Miyagi Ryota was now. When Budo got the basketball, all the players in Aiwa focused their attention on Budo, and there was no time to care about Miyagi Ryota, who had a thin presence. Miyagi Ryota, Shohoku's point guard is really just as the name suggests, he is only used to dribble the ball across the line.
Not only did Miyagi Ryota get an open opportunity, Chiba Oishi in the paint also slipped out of the basket and landed in the mid-range at 0 degrees. Aiwa's players ignored him and ignored Chiba's existence.
"Is it a double-team between two people, or a double defense?"
"In this era, it seems that there is no prohibition on this kind of defensive method."
After taking the ball, Budo dribbled the ball and backed away slightly, away from the three-point line. To be honest, this was the first time he faced such a defense. With the presence of Hisashi Mitsui on Shohoku's side, he was not the only threat from the outside. That's all, and Hisashi Mitsui is not a different character. Facing Mitsui Hisashi, ordinary people have no way to defend him alone. Someone must help defend him.
This is the first time martial arts has encountered such an all-or-nothing defensive method like Aihe's.
Jinguji Budo opened the distance to one and a half meters, but neither Morohoshi Yama nor Okamura Ryugo could catch up. At this time, Budoka's position was about two meters away from the three-point line. Between Morohoshi Yama and Okamura Ryugo, In my opinion, no one would shoot more than two meters away from the three-point line, so there was no defense at all at this moment.
"You...are you standing too far away?!"
Seeing that the distance between the three of them was so far, Budao no longer hesitated. He directly combined the ball and shot a pull-up jump shot. The basketball flew directly from Budao's hands and flew towards the basket.
"Three-pointer?! You actually shot a three-pointer from that position?!"
"This guy is so messy!"
"How could such a ball..."
The audience's doubts were quickly interrupted by a crisp sound of the net being brushed. Under everyone's gaze, the basketball thrown by Wu Dao accurately hit the net. The falling basketball passed through the net and made a soft sound.
"hiss!
!
How can this be! "
“Oh oh oh oh!
! "
"Made! A super long three-pointer!"
The doubts soon turned into exclamations, and the audience who had been shouting "Go crazy" a second ago quickly switched sides and cheered. On the defensive side, Morohoshi Yama and Okamura Ryugo also looked back at Jinguji Budo with dull expressions. Neither of them expected that Jinguji Budo not only made the shot from that position, but also made it.
After scoring the goal, Jinguji Budo glanced at Morohoshida and Okamura Ryugo, and said softly: "I didn't expect that this place is actually within my shooting range!"
After Wu Dao finished speaking, he turned around and started to return to defense. Although the Xiangbei team members were a little surprised, the surprise did not last long at all.
Hisoka Mitsui celebrated his goal with a high-five, and then said with some emotion: "Unexpectedly, I thought you were just shooting for fun during practice, but I didn't expect that in the game, you really dare to shoot from such a position! "
"Is there anything unexpected? Ordinary practice is just for competition, isn't it?"
Wu Dao replied with a smile and quickly completed his position in his own half.
"It's different. Even if you play with this kind of ball in normal times, you won't be able to shoot it in the game. You are the only one who can shoot it like this."
"We usually play logo shots, and sometimes we can make them. Will you use them as a regular offensive method during games?"
Mitsui Shou shook his head and said.
"What can't you do? If there is no more suitable offensive method than logo shot, why not use it?"
Budo turned around, looked at Mitsui Shou who was running towards his position, and said. Mitsui Hisashi's thinking is still limited by the times. Even though he is very good at three-point shooting, Mitsui Hisashi believes from the bottom of his heart that layups and mid-range shots are the main scoring methods in the game.
The development of the three-pointer is just to create a good breakthrough environment.
But Martial Arts obviously does not have this kind of thinking. All the techniques he has learned are just to have a chance to shoot, whether it is a mid-range shot or a three-pointer, whether this opportunity is "regular" or not.
At the beginning of the second half, Jinguji Budo directly scored a super long three-pointer, and this goal officially started the nightmare of Aiwa Academy.
Aihe did not change his defensive method after the counterattack was successful. He had no intention of setting up a defense against Jinguji Budo, who was about two meters away from the three-point line. But the next second, Budo was in front of everyone. Once again, he replicated the super long three-pointer he just made.
Still two meters away from the three-point line, still in front of Morohoshida and Okamura Ryugo, Jinguji Budo used two consecutive super long three-pointers to tell everyone that he scored a goal. , not a coincidence!
With these two super long three-pointers, Morohoshida and Okamura Ryugo no longer dared to shoot like this with Budo. Their position was raised from near the three-point line to outside the three-point line. At this time, the defense lines of these two people are nearly 4 meters away from the second line of defense of Aihe and the defenders on the free throw line.
This distance provides Budo with a long-distance breakthrough buffer zone, allowing him to have enough breakthrough depth to open up the defense lines of Morohoshida and Okamura Ryugo.
On the court, Jinguji Budo adjusted the rhythm with continuous crotch dribbling, and then suddenly started to break through to the right side of Morohoshi. Jinguji Budō started quickly. Morohoshi and Okamura Ryugo People are also instantly mobilized by martial arts. However, Wu Dao had only taken two steps when he suddenly stopped suddenly, and there was a short and strange pause between the suspended dribbling.
The next second, Budo's dribbling was in disguise. The speed of Budo's transformation was not very fast this time, and they were clearly seen by Morohoshida and Okamura Ryugo. Just when both Morohoshida and Okamura Ryugo thought that Budo was going to change direction and break through, they quickly adjusted their focus to prepare for pursuit and defense. Budo's dribbling rhythm suddenly accelerated, changing the direction of the breakthrough again. At the same time, he passed the defense line of Morohoshi Yama and Okamura in an instant.
With the continuous changes in rhythm, even if it is a defense line between two people, martial arts can still easily pass through it.
But when Budo faced the defensive player near Aihe's free throw line, he was much simpler and rougher. He used his body strength and speed to forcefully break in. The defensive players simply couldn't keep up with Budo's figure by sliding. Being thrown away, he watched helplessly as Budo drove to the basket, hooked the board against their center, and sent the ball into the net.
In less than a minute of the second half, Jinguji Budo scored 8 points in a row, completely dispelling the fighting spirit that Aiwa Academy had finally gathered.
After a few more rounds, Aihe Academy completely lost the confidence to counterattack, and the game was reduced to garbage time.
Nine minutes into the second half, Shohoku High School led Aiwa High School by 37 points, 81:44. Jinguji Budo's personal score had reached a terrifying 67 points, which had already set a new record for the highest score in the history of the national competition.
However, the game continues, and Jinguji Budo's scoring continues.
