Jun Uozumi's slam dunk ignited the enthusiasm of the audience, and his presence also attracted the attention of Jinguji Budo.
Shohoku High School is a team that focuses on the outside. All of the team's offense revolves around Jinguji Martial Arts, and the best offensive method of Martial Arts is mid- and long-range shooting. Although it has taken a period of time to change it before Although he is accustomed to attacking, most of his shots in martial arts are from the outside.
Lingnan High School is a team with a very high average height. The shortest Fujima is about 175cm, while the other four are all taller than 190cm.
On the other hand, here in Shohoku, only Jinguji Budō and Takenori Akagi are taller than 190cm. Chiba Oishi and Hisashi Mitsui are both around 185cm tall, while Miyagi is less than 170cm tall. This height has no advantage in rebounding against a team like Lingnan.
The problem of Xiangbei's inside disadvantage has not been exposed so far. It is only because at this stage of Budo's physical fitness and shooting hit rate is quite high, this hidden danger of Xiangbei has not been exposed quickly.
However, as Shinomiya Tanano missed a long three-pointer and Shohoku lost an offensive rebound, the problem under the basket had to be taken seriously.
Offensive and defensive transition.
Jinguji Budo is determined to find a way to knock Uozumi off the field, but the prerequisite for achieving this goal is that his receiving position needs to be deeper.
If the ball is still outside the three-point line, Lingnan can easily control Budo from the outside relying on the defense of Shinomiya Tano and Sendao. From the beginning to now, every breakthrough by Budo cannot be too deep, because the double-teaming of Sendō and Shinomiya puts a lot of pressure on him to dribble, and he simply cannot make a breakthrough with the ball from a long distance.
If Budo wants to catch the ball in the mid-range position, his teammates need to be able to pass the ball to this position. This will test Miyagi's level.
"Miyagi, my position will be deeper, you find a way to give me the ball!"
Different from the horizontal pass outside the three-point line, once the martial arts position becomes deeper, Miyagi needs to pass the ball vertically. Compared with the side pass, the vertical pass is more difficult because Miyagi needs to pass the ball from Fujima passed by.
Fujima's level is not on the same level as Lingnan's former grass-planting master!
"good!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely put the ball in your hands!"
Faced with the request of martial arts, Miyagi Ryota responded directly without thinking. Although it was difficult to face Fujima, it also completely inspired Miyagi's fighting spirit.
While the two were talking, Akagi had already given the ball from outside the baseline. Miyagi Ryota, who received the ball, slowly moved towards the frontcourt under the cover of his teammates. As Miyagi advanced with the ball, Budo also began to move in and out, and even called Chiba to help him do a pick-and-roll without the ball, successfully entering the mid-range.
However, after being briefly delayed by Chiba's pick-and-roll, Shinomiya quickly followed up. He placed his focus firmly on Budo's back and looked at Miyagi Ryota who was dribbling the ball. Jinguji Budo, with his back to the basket in position, raised his arms and waited for Miyagi to give the ball.
"Fujima, don't let him pass the ball out easily!" Shinomiya Tanano, who has played against Jinguji Budo, knows how much of a threat Budo poses when holding the ball in the mid-range. So far in the competition, Jinguji Martial Arts has caused a lot of trouble for Lingnan by just relying on projection.
If Jinguji Budo catches the ball in the middle distance, the opponent's unpredictable back-up steps can be used. By then, the person in front of him will be even more difficult to guard. Shinomiya didn't want to complicate a game that could be easily won.
While Shinomiya Tōno was shouting to Fujima, his entire upper body was pressed against Jinguji Budō's body, and the huge force slowly pushed Budō to the outside.
"So powerful!
"
"I can't stand it with my strength?!"
As the force exerted behind him slowly increased, Martial Arts was forced to retreat outward little by little. He has practiced judo for such a long time, and has already become very stable in the bottom plate. Let alone the defender, even an ordinary center is impossible to push him, but at this time, Shinomiya Tanano Under pressure, Martial Arts could no longer maintain its position.
"Miyagi!" Martial Arts felt the sense of urgency. While calling Miyagi, he turned around and quickly released his strength, then ran towards the inside. Shinomiya's speed was extremely fast. As soon as the martial artist turned around, he also moved quickly laterally, easily keeping up with the footsteps of Jinguji martial artist.
However, Wu Dao also knew the ability of his opponent and had no intention of turning around to get rid of the opponent's defense.
After just two steps towards the inside, the advancing martial arts suddenly stopped and ran back to the previous position.
At the same time, Miyagi Ryota also faked a pass. He easily deceived Fujima with a pass and completed the breakthrough with the ball.
"How could this kid?!"
Miyagi Ryota's breakthrough with the ball was something Fujima didn't expect at first. The unexpected behavior achieved good results. Miyagi successfully crossed the three-point line and traveled to the middle distance. Just when Fujima thought Miyagi would be able to When he was attacking, Miyagi, who had completed the breakthrough, suddenly flicked the ball and gave it directly to Budo's hands.
"Beautiful pass! Miyagi." Budo, who successfully received the ball, was also a little surprised and happy. He didn't expect that facing Fujima, Miyagi had such high-quality breakthroughs and passes. The timing of the basketball and the path of the ball were very good. Very comfortable.
At the same time that Budo got the ball, Shinomiya Tano had already appeared behind Budo. His body was pressed tightly against Budo. The terrifying force pushed Budao and he couldn't help but take a step outward to stabilize his body.
After Wu Dao stood firm, he quickly turned around with the ball, then raised his arms and made a fake shot. Budo's movements were very fast. Although Shinomiya Tanano guessed that Budo's move was a fake move, his center of gravity increased involuntarily because he did not dare to let the martial arts shot go. Even if there was a high probability of a fake move, there was still the possibility of a real shot.
Shinomiya would rather use martial arts to attack the inside than let him shoot from the outside.
Shinomiya is full of confidence in his speed and jumping. When he gets to the basket, it becomes an aerial battle. From Shinomiya's spirit and aerial battle, he has never lost to anyone!
"Bang!" Sure enough, as Shinomiya Tano expected, Jinguji Budo's shot was indeed a fake move. Jinguji Budo's arms quickly fell down and completed the ball drop. At the same time, Budo also returned to the state of carrying the basket. .
Just as Shinomiya Amano spread his arms for no apparent reason, his center of gravity sank again.
However, Jinguji Budo, who was holding his back, suddenly made a shoulder move at this time, and then suddenly turned over and threw the ball out with a cool and neat posture.
"Pah! Whoa!"
Two sounds sounded in succession, and the basketball hit the board at a thirty-degree angle and hit the net.
As Budo scored the ball again, the Shohoku supporters burst into cheers.
"Damn! Why did this guy score again?!"
"He easily turned over and leaned back. His previous shooting fake was just to make Shinomiya think he would break through. In fact, he had already planned to shoot!"
"Damn it!
Lingnan, come on! "
There was another wailing in the rest area in Lingnan. Coach Tian Gang looked at Jinguji Martial Arts with a gloomy face for a long time before he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he accepted this reality.
It seems that they in Lingnan can't stop the attack of Jinguji martial arts? !
In the stadium, Jinguji Budo, who scored the goal, smiled and high-fived Miyagi in celebration, and began to return to defense.
Jinguji Budo really planned to attack Uozumi, planning to hit the basket and draw a foul. This time, there was no breakthrough in the mid-range back-up play, just to pave the way for the next attack.
"Now, Lingnan's attention will not only be on me, but he will even think that I will continue to shoot when I get the ball in the mid-range."
"The game has been played for more than six minutes. They should already have this established impression."
Jinguji Budo looked at Fujima from a distance while returning to defense. Isn't the reason why Miyagi was able to easily break through this ball because of Fujima's established impression? !
From Fujima's reaction to martial arts, he realized that the preparations were almost done!
After Xiangbei High School scored, Lingnan's single counterattack came very quickly.
Shinomiya Tano seemed to be irritated by Budo's repeated solo attacks. After entering the frontcourt, he took the initiative to ask Fujima for the ball.
Although Fujima originally wanted to continue playing pick-and-roll tactics and attack Miyagi Ryota's weakness, he simply couldn't refuse Shinomiya's request for the ball.
After Shinomiya received the basketball from outside the three-point line, he didn't say anything nonsense, and directly pushed his back against Jinguji Budō, and powerful power poured into Budō in an instant.
"Peng!" With a muffled sound, Shinomiya leaned back and approached the three-point line. At the same time, Shinomiya exerted force on his legs again. After a brief pause, his body pressed towards the martial arts again.
During the first confrontation, Budo had already realized that his own strength could not compete with the opponent's. He found the right moment for Shinomiya to use his strength for the second time, and decisively took a small step back, instantly creating a distance.
With a simple move of his stool, Budo thought he could make Shinomiya lose his center of gravity, but the moment Shinomiya leaned back, he turned around and instantly crossed Jinguji Budo and crossed the three-point line.
Although Shinomiya did not fall, his dribbling rhythm was obviously affected. But Shinomiya had no intention of continuing to dribble. Facing Shohoku's empty defense, Shinomiya casually threw the ball towards the backboard and then accelerated towards the inside.
"Akagi, don't go up!"
Shinomiya's action obviously attracted Takenori Akagi's attention. Seeing the basketball hit the backboard, Akagi ran towards Shinomiya. Jinguji Budo saw this scene and shouted hurriedly, but it was still too late.
Shinomiya threw the ball casually, adjusting the rhythm of his movement at the same time. When he was close to the basket, he jumped up. When it was in the air, he grabbed the bouncing basketball in his hands and glided towards the basket.
Takenori Akagi raised his arms and tried to intercept Shinomiya, but Shinomiya was thirty or forty centimeters taller than him when he took off, and Akagi's hands only reached Shinomiya's forearms.
"Duang!"
"Peng!"
With a loud noise, the muscles in Shinomiya's arms bulged, and he held the basket with both hands. The basketball and Takenori Akagi's figure fell rapidly together. Takenori Akagi, who was unbalanced in the air, landed on his back and hit the floor hard, making a loud noise. There was a muffled sound.
"Beep!
! "As Akagi fell, the referee's rapid whistle sounded.
The changes on the court came too fast. At this moment, everyone's eyes were not on Takenori Akagi on the ground, but on Shinomiya who was hanging in the frame.
So far in today's game, Shinomiya has shown his dominance to the audience for the first time.
"Red No. 5, defensive foul!"
"The goal stands!"
The referee's decision made the audience in the stands excited. There were already many Lingnan supporters. Suddenly, the entire venue was filled with cheers from Lingnan fans.
Shinomiya fell back to the ground, looked down at Takenori Akagi, stepped over Akagi, and walked towards the free throw line. Jinguji Budo walked to Akagi and was about to see if Takenori Akagi was injured when he saw Takenori Akagi slowly getting up from the floor, his face full of anger.
"Are you okay, Akagi?" Mitsui Shou and Chiba also gathered around at this moment, both wanting to check Akagi's condition. When Akagi hit the ground just now, he was hit very hard, and it felt very scary just to look at it.
"It's okay." Akagi said in a low voice, straightened his back, stood there for a while and then said to the teammates around him. He has a pretty good physique, and when Takenori Akagi decided to defend Shinomiya, he was already prepared to deal with the impact. However, he did not expect that in the physical confrontation between the two, he, the center, would lose so completely.
"As long as it's okay, it was too hard to block the ball just now. His bounce is very good, and he has a run-up. In this situation, it will be good to let him score."
Mitsui Shou finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Akagi was okay and said with relief. This is not the first time that Shohoku and Lingnan have played against each other. Shinomiya's ability to attack the basket is very clear. With a ball like that just now, if Budo can get into the basket before Shinomiya, he may be able to intercept the rebounding basketball in advance. .
Once the opportunity is lost, Shinomiya Tanano can be said to be invincible in the air. Even Jinguji Martial Arts, which bounces as well as the opponent, will find it difficult to stop the opponent in a frontal air battle.
"Sorry." Takenori Akagi said slightly apologetically. Seeing that he was recovering, Budo and others began to get into position under the urging of the referee.
Lingnan made a free throw.
Shinomiya stood on the free throw line and caught the basketball. He simply dribbled and shot directly, and scored the ball steadily.
The violent physical collision with Akagi just now did not affect his shooting touch at all. Shinomiya's physical fitness once again refreshed the people around him's understanding of him.
Surrounded by the Lingnan players, Shinomiya Tano and his teammates quickly returned to defense.
Budao looked at the Lingnan people who quickly returned to defense and scratched the back of his head in annoyance. Before he could attack Uozumi, Akagi got a foul first.
Not to mention that the advantages haven't been revealed yet, the disadvantages have already begun to become apparent.
"Akagi, there is no need to force yourself in the face of Shinomiya's attacking basket."
"If there is enough interference, just block the layup route with enough strength. We in Xiangbei don't have a center who can replace you."
Chiba Oishi went to the baseline to serve. Taking advantage of this time, Martial Arts gave instructions to Akagi. If Takenori Akagi couldn't restrain his desire to defend against Shinomiya, Shohoku would have no chance of winning.
There is no way for a brainless center to compete with Shinomiya. Akagi must learn to be smarter.
