"You have to work harder."
"Don't wait, you Xiangbei will fall before I take action. That would be boring."
Fujima's performance made Shinomiya Tano very happy, and he couldn't help but said to Jinguji Budo. The outstanding performance of his teammates shared a considerable part of his offensive pressure. Today's Shinomiya Dono doesn't value the ball. What he wants is to defeat Shohoku High School.
And excellent teammates are the puzzle piece for Lingnan High School to win. Shinomiya has now seen clearly that in a basketball game, the team's victory or defeat is everything! This was what Jinguji Martial Arts taught him back then.
"It's too early to say this now. I won't let him catch you." Jinguji Budo turned to look at Miyagi Ryota who was going to the baseline to catch the ball, and ignored Shinomiya.
"It's me...not us..."
"hehe."
Upon hearing this, Shinomiya Tano lowered his eyelids slightly, with a smile of unknown meaning on his face, and then turned around and started to defend himself.
The basketball, taken by Takenori Akagi from outside the Shohoku baseline, was given to Miyagi Ryota. These rounds of attacks were easily defeated by Lingnan High School. Miyagi Ryota wanted to suppress the offensive rhythm and give the players time to adjust their defensive positions.
Therefore, when advancing with the ball, the speed is very slow, and it takes time to cross the center line.
Jinguji Budo did not rush Miyagi Ryota, because he also noticed that Shohoku's defensive loopholes were becoming more and more obvious. Taking advantage of Miyagi's advancement with the ball, Budo approached Chiba Oishi and gave instructions:
"You don't need to stick too tightly when the flower shape goes to the high post for pick-and-rolls. If it's a high post shot near the three-point line, just let them go."
"Just guard the mid-range close to the free throw line. Watch out for Fujima's breakthrough. Miyagi can keep up with the interference if he shoots."
"Take it easy, Chiba, your body is a little tense."
Chiba Oishi's performance on the field today seemed a bit nervous. Although this guy has always been a transparent person in Shohoku and rarely participated in offense, his defensive ability is indispensable to Shohoku High School.
Chiba's physical condition is not bad in today's high school basketball world, but when faced with a height of around 195cm and a comprehensive skill set, he seems a bit inadequate. Martial arts can see that Qianba Dashi is under tremendous pressure, but at this time, this guy cannot fall, otherwise, Xiangbei will collapse.
Takenori Akagi on the inside is just good enough to deal with Jun Uozumi, and the two can still have a 50-50 battle for rebounds, but if Chiba collapses, Akagi alone can't handle Hanagata and Uozumi together. .
Shohoku High School doesn't have a qualified substitute power forward on its bench. You can't send Emperor Tsunoda to fight Hanagata, right? Although Emperor Tsunoda was said to have never lost in the competition, that was just a joke.
"Yes!" Chiba Oishi was obviously one level higher than Jinguji Martial Arts, and the two of them got along very casually in private. However, after hearing Martial Arts' words, Chiba straightened up and responded heavily. Wu Dao was stunned when he saw this scene, and then patted the opponent's back and quickly approached Lingnan's three-point line.
Qianye Dashi was really nervous, and Martial Arts didn't know how much the other party could listen.
"Budo!" Without allowing Budo to think too much, Miyagi Ryota dribbled the ball across the center line, and then quickly passed the ball to Jinguji Budo before Fujima came up.
Jinguji Budo, who was holding the ball, did not hurriedly attack the ball this time. Instead, after receiving the basketball, he held the basketball in one hand, made a gesture towards Chiba Oishi on the inside, and shouted the opponent's name: "Chiba Oishi" leaf!"
Chiba, who was about to position himself inside, was obviously startled when he saw Jinguji Budo's action, and then rushed up to cover Jinguji Budo. However, Shohoku's intention was too obvious. Shinomiya adjusted his position early and started one step ahead of the pick-and-roll position. He got stuck in the middle of Chiba and Jinguji Budo, and did not let Chiba have any chance. Pick-and-roll opportunities.
However, the presence of Chiba affected Shinomiya's center of gravity. Budo took advantage of the opponent's adjustment of position, quickly dropped the ball, followed Chiba Oishi's pick-and-roll, and broke through, easily getting between Shinomiya. Opened about a meter.
If it were an ordinary person, such a small distance would be enough for Shinomiya to pursue and defend, but the person he faced was Jinguji Martial Arts.
I saw Jinguji Budo quickly crossing the three-point line with the help of Chiba Oishi's defense, and then directly taking off from a position inside the three-point line, riding a horse and shooting an arrow.
A quick shot from a high position prevented everyone in Lingnan from reacting, and they saw Jinguji Budo successfully throw the ball. Shinomiya Tanodō, who was following Jinguji Budō, was a little surprised to see Budō shooting in such a posture, and quickly turned his head to look at the basket.
"Snapped!"
"Uh-huh!"
After the sound of a basketball hitting the board, there was the sound of a basketball hitting the net.
Jinguji Budo hit another shot, attracting the attention of Lingnan players. Kenji Fujima looked at Jinguji Martial Arts in surprise, his handsome face full of surprise.
"I have always known that this first-year player from Xiangbei is very strong, but I used to think that he only had such a shooting percentage because of his excellent body and misalignment with his opponents."
"But what I didn't expect was that Jinguji Martial Arts still had such a terrifying hit rate under the defensive pressure of Tianye."
"How did this guy train?!"
Not only Kenji Fujima was surprised, Toru Hanagata stared at Budo for a long time without moving his eyes away. Fujima Kenji may simply think that Jinguji martial arts is strong, but Hanagata only thinks that Jinguji martial arts is extremely terrifying!
Hanagata and Fujima are different. Fujima is a defender who is less than 180cm tall. Fujima has no idea what kind of problems he will encounter if he is as tall as Hanagata.
Being taller is not just an advantage. Being taller means a higher center of gravity and reduced coordination.
Hanagata thinks that his skills are quite comprehensive, but he can still only play power forward and center. The main problem is that he is too tall. His center of gravity is high when dribbling, and he is easy to steal. The ball combination ability is average, simple dribbling movements are no problem, but more complicated dribbling movements are easy to make mistakes.
But Jinguji Martial Arts is completely different. He has such a height, and his ability to combine human and ball is still very good. After breaking through, he can also do horseback archery and flower shapes consciously, but he definitely does not have the speed of Jinguji Martial Arts. He also doesn’t have the terrifying shooting percentage like Martial Arts.
High-post shooting itself is not an easy task, and shooting after a rhythm change such as start and stop is even more difficult to control. Jinguji Budo's consecutive goals made Hanagata envious, but also felt deep fear.
"Good blocking, Chiba."
"Be more active on the defensive end, you'll be fine!"
Although Chiba Oishi's pick-and-roll was poorly played, Jinguji Budo still patted Chiba Oishi on the back and praised him when he returned to defense. Qianba Oishi didn't know whether the martial arts was telling the truth or not. The sense of participation in this round of attack made him extremely happy, and his nervousness eased a little.
"Um!"
Qianba Dashi nodded, and then quickly settled into the middle distance. Mitsui Shou saw all the changes in Chiba Oishi, and his eyes finally looked relieved when he looked at Martial Arts.
Although Budo still did not pass the ball to his teammates in this round of attack, Hisashi Mitsui knew that Budo Jinguji was not the kind of lone wolf player. He is now more willing to believe that Budo's previous performance was a mistake.
Mitsui Hisashi understood, but the Lingnan team members didn't think so. They only knew that Jinguji Budo scored the ball again by relying on their own personal abilities. Of course they saw Chiba Oishi's pick and roll, but the people in Lingnan would not think that Jinguji Budo was able to score because of that crappy pick and roll.
Coach Taoka, who was originally calm off the court, was a little angry now. Although he didn't think that Jinguji Martial Arts could single-handedly lead Xiangbei to defeat Lingnan, but Jinguji Martial Arts' continuous scoring was huge. He lost face to Shigeichi Tianoka.
In his mind, he had even imagined the reporters' reports after the game: "Jinguji Martial Arts gives everything you want in front of the powerful Lingnan!"
Coach Tianoka became furious just thinking about such reports.
"What are you doing?! How many points do you want that first grader to get?!"
"You bastards can't even deal with a first grader?! Guard him!"
"Tian Tian, you bastard, stop trying to catch me! Fight hard and put more pressure on me!"
Coach Tian Gang stood on the sidelines and yelled at the Lingnan players who were organizing the offense. His voice was so loud that it even drowned out the cheers of the audience above the stands. The audience looked for this voice and looked towards coach Tian Gang, and they started talking about it for a while.
"Wow... this coach in Lingnan is so fierce! Their players are really working hard, playing under such a coach. The coach in Xiangbei is so quiet, he looks kind and friendly, not fierce at all, and the team in Xiangbei is It’s also very strong.”
"Yeah... I don't know why you are shouting so loudly... Isn't Shinomiya Tano playing well?"
"Hey, you guys can't move now. This voice is still too soft. You still want to be a coach when you talk so softly?"
There was a lot of discussion in the stands, and the Lingnan players in the rest area were stunned for a while when they saw this scene. Cross-country Hongming even murmured when he saw the angry coach: "We can't calm down. After all, we are young people, and the coach is a middle-aged man." , I can’t keep calm no matter what!”
In the court, Fujima Kenji, who was holding the ball, couldn't help but glance at Coach Tamoka, and then looked at each other with Sendō, Shinomiya Tanano and others, with a little helplessness in their eyes.
Although he has only been in Lingnan for a short time, he still has a certain understanding of coach Tian Gang.
Although coach Tian Gang is strict in coaching and likes to curse, but...he is a good coach.
"Tian Tian, the coach seems very angry, do you want to work harder!"
Fujima said as he dribbled the ball across the center line. His eyes were on Shinomiya Tōda, and he didn't even pay attention to Miyagi Rōden who was about to approach him.
"Maybe you can't tell, but I've actually worked very hard!"
There was a faint smile on Shinomiya's face, but his words made Kenji Fujima's face change slightly. Although Shinomiya said it with a smile, Fujima did not hear the joke in the other person's tone. Feel.
"That guy is not just a lone wolf, he is a tiger!"
Shinomiya Tanoku said, trotted to the front of Jinguji Budo, and suddenly said to Budo: "Sure enough, it is still fun to play with a guy like you!"
Budo was a little confused when he heard this, but he couldn't allow him to think too much. The basketball had already flown out of Fujima Kenji's hands and given to Shinomiya Nono's hands. As soon as the latter got the ball, Budo immediately lowered his center of gravity to guard against Shinomiya's breakthrough. However, as soon as he made a move, Shinomiya directly took off with the ball and shot directly two steps outside the three-point line. A three-pointer.
Shinomiya's choice was indeed beyond Martial's expectations, and he was delayed for several beats before reaching out to interfere. But at this moment, the basketball is already in the air.
Shinomiya, who shot a super long three-pointer, seemed to feel something. He sighed: "A super long three-pointer is really difficult!"
"Dang~" The next second, a crisp sound of iron was heard, and the basketball collapsed out of the frame.
Under the basket, Takenori Akagi, Jun Uozumi and others have long been huddled together. Akagi and Uozumi are about the same strength, and Akagi is only half as good, not even half as good. With a position advantage, Akagi held the fish tightly and occupied a better position inside to grab the board.
But Shohoku's other insider, Chiba Oishi, was in dire straits. His physique was incomparable to Hanagata Toru. In less than two seconds from when Shinomiya took the shot to when the basketball flew out, Chiba Oishi had already been beaten. The flower shape squeezed out of the basket, almost two meters away from the basket.
"Snapped!"
The basketball fell, and the direction it fell was exactly where Hanagata was stuck. Hanagata was not in a hurry to jump up to grab the board, but stuck Chiba tightly. When the basketball hit the ground and bounced back, Hanagata easily took a step forward. , grabbed the ball in his hands, and at this time, Takenori Akagi had already arrived in front of Hanagata, wanting to double-team him.
Hanagata, who was holding the ball, had no intention of attacking on his own. He casually hooked the ball toward the basket, giving Akagi no chance to defend him.
"It won't go in!" Takenori Akagi thought to himself when he saw Hanagata's casual shooting attitude, but when he turned his head to look, a giant blue shadow came into view.
“Ho ho ho!
! "
Uozumi caught the ball in the air with both hands and poured the ball into the basket. The strong force pulled the entire basketball stand downward. The rest area of Lingnan High School was already filled with joy.
Shinomiya Hanagata and Uozumi cooperated with alley-oop dunks to score the ball. He grinned at Jinguji Budo without saying anything, turned around and started to return to defense.
Budo looked at Uozumi Jun who was hanging the frame, and then at Uozumi Jun who was standing in front of Akagi, and frowned slightly.
"The disadvantage of the inside line is a bit big. Even if Xiaosan has time to play by then, if there is no advantage in the inside line, it will still be difficult to say the outcome."
"That guy from Shinomiya also gave me a heads up."
"First...get rid of this guy!"
Jinguji Martial Arts was thinking in his mind, his frown relaxed, and he grinned in the direction of Yuzhu.
