"If you want to bet on the accuracy of long-range shots, I will score every goal with my own hands."
"Xiangbei, if you want to win in this way, how is it possible?"
It only took one round for Shinomiya to know Shohoku High School's plan. From the way Jinguji Budo handled the basketball in this round of offense, Shinomiya immediately noticed Shohoku High School's intention.
During the offense, Hisashi Mitsui and Konobu Kigure, who are located in the bottom corners on both sides, have very good long-range shooting capabilities. Jinguji Budo has very good breakthrough capabilities and can cause considerable damage to Lingnan High School's inside line when holding the ball. A lot of pressure. The traditional scoring style of play coupled with two teammates with three-point ability, Xiangbei's offense jumped to a big level compared to the first half.
Shinomiya knows that there are only two ways to break such an attack. One is that he can defend Jinguji Martial Arts alone. In this way, the "sudden" of "sudden points" loses its effect, and together with two Three-point shooters will also be greatly weakened.
Another way is...
"Sendou, when you wait to defend, don't think about supplementing Jinguji Budo. Focus on Mitsui Hisashi and don't give him a chance to make a move."
"Fujima, you go and defend that Kokure Konobu. Miyagi Ryota leaves him alone."
"Hanagata, on the defensive end, your position is near the free throw line. While covering up defense, be on guard for Miyagi Ryota's breakthrough. If he shoots from a long distance, don't worry about him. If he breaks through, limit his breakthrough speed and at the same time limit his breakthrough speed. He forced me to go to the fish house."
"Once you lose speed at that height, you will be serving food in front of Yuzhu."
The court commander often refers to the team's point guard, but at Lingnan High School, Shinomiya Tano is Lingnan's commander. After a round of offense and defense, Shinomiya Tano quickly made adjustments to Lingnan's defense.
Kenji Fujima, who received the serve in the backcourt, suppressed the speed of advancement. It was not until Shinomiya arranged the defensive strategy for the next round that he started to speed up and quickly dribbled the ball across the center line.
Off the court, Coach Anzai also heard what Shinomiya said about arranging the players. He pushed up his glasses and focused on Shinomiya. After a long time, he murmured:
"Lingnan is also a leader!"
On the other side, Coach Tagoka was sitting in the rest area, with his hands folded on his chest, listening to Shinomiya's arrangements for the players, with a proud smile on his face.
"Xiangbei, no matter what kind of efforts you make, it will all be in vain in front of my Lingnan branch!"
"That kid from Tano is still too cautious. If you ask me, I won't pay attention to Shobei's three-pointers and just block Jinguji Martial Arts with all my strength."
"How can a three-pointer be used as a decisive factor in winning?"
Although coach Taoka's thoughts were different from Shinomiya's, he quite recognized Shinomiya's arrangements. He simply felt that Shinomiya was making a fuss. Shohoku just scored a three-pointer in the second half. It's just a matter of dividing the ball. Let Xiangbei shoot a few more, and the score difference between the two teams will naturally widen.
How can a high school student's three-point shooting percentage exceed 40% in any game these days?
On the court, Lingnan High School organized the offense after arranging the defense. After Xiangbei High School changed its defensive method in the second half, the defensive strength on the outside seemed quite weak.
Shinomiya received the basketball from outside the three-point line. He accelerated the ball and easily passed Konobu Kinugure. When he reached the mid-range, he did not wait for Jinguji Budo to step forward to defend, and made an emergency stop jumper from the mid-range.
This kind of pressure-free projection is just like ordinary training for Shinomiya. No, the intensity of ordinary training is much greater than that of his current opponent Kimugure Kimibu.
The basketball player accidentally hit the ball into the net, and Lingnan High School successfully overtook the score. The score on the scoreboard reached 54:53.
"As I just said, keep an eye on your own people!"
After scoring the goal, Shinomiya commanded the players to return to their defensive positions, while turning his head to look at Jinguji Budo. He did not shy away from arranging the players at all. As for defense, the people in Shohoku heard it again. What can be done?
"Martial arts..." Mu Mu Gongyan walked to the side of the martial arts of Jingu Temple, with deep worry between his eyebrows. Shobei's offensive plan in the second half was seen by Lingnan, and the opponent also made timely arrangements. From the perspective of Mumu Gongren, he was no longer useful on the court.
He doesn't think that his defense can be better than Chiba Oishi. Chiba Oishi was the starting player of Takeishi Middle School during his junior high school days. At the same time, he was just a player from an unknown middle school. After entering high school, Chiba Oishi also played in many games, big and small, and he, even among Shohoku, was considered a translucent existence.
Although he trained very hard after entering high school, he was still far behind Chiba Oishi in defense.
As for attacking? Mumu also heard about Shinomiya Tano's arrangement. Facing a star player of the same class like Fujima, Mumu really didn't have the confidence to face off against him.
Jinguji Budo saw Mu Mu walking up to him with a sad face and knew what this guy was going to say. Mu Mu was good at everything, but his personality was too gentle. In Mu Mu's mind, he should now feel that having Chiba Oishi on the court would be more useful than him on the court!
Although I was considering the overall situation for Xiangbei, I was really underestimating myself.
"Don't say it!"
"I understand what you are thinking, but the second half of the game has just begun, are you going to say something discouraging?"
"When you say those words, you really don't deserve to be on this court."
"Think about your normal training. Why do you have to practice hundreds of three-pointers after training? Is it to go on the court and say 'I can't do it'?"
The words Mumu Gongyan wanted to say were forced back by Jinguji Martial Arts. Mu Mu opened his mouth, but after all, he didn't say what he wanted to give up.
"Don't worry, just focus and don't think too much."
Jinguji Budo comforted him, and then he protected Miyagi Ryota who was holding the ball and ran towards the frontcourt with his team members.
As everyone from Shohoku entered the frontcourt, everyone from Lingnan also completed their positions according to Shinomiya Tano's arrangement. Fujima Kenji, who was originally keeping an eye on Miyagi, approached Kimugure Konobu. Sendō, who was originally positioned high in front of the court, sank with Mitsui Hisashi. To the bottom corner.
While observing the positioning of the players with his peripheral vision, Shinomiya ran towards Jinguji Budo, not wanting Budo to catch the ball easily.
"I seem to be aware of your plan."
"It's very thoughtful, but a little naive. I won't let you Xiangbei have any chance of making a comeback!"
Shinomiya Tano was obviously full of confidence in Lingnan and said confidently.
"That junior guy is not a player who can only shoot three-pointers."
"Xian Dao, I was very diligent in my defense in the first half...but can he really guard against Xiao San?"
As Budo spoke, he glanced at Mitsui and Sendao in the bottom corner, and quickly ran towards Miyagi Ryota. As Budo approached, Miyagi Ryota, who was in the open position, passed the ball to Budo hand-to-hand, and at the same time blocked Shinomiya's pursuit with his body.
At the same time, Hisashi Mitsui, who was guarded in the bottom corner, knew that he could not stand stupidly in the bottom corner waiting for the ball, so he quickly moved his position and came to the 45° direction outside the three-point line where Budo and Shinomiya had just faced off.
With Hisashi Mitsui in place, Miyagi Ryota also quickly cut inside, but his direction was not to go straight to the basket, but to the diagonal mid-range, making a posture to catch the ball.
At this moment, Hanagata in the high position did not pay attention to the vacant Miyagi at all. All his attention was focused on Jinguji Budo who used Miyagi's short pick-and-roll to initiate a breakthrough.
"Double-team!" Shinomiya Nodoka, who was chasing Jinguji Budo, and Toru Hanagata, who was defending, quickly formed a double-team on Budō. However, at this moment, the basketball flew directly out of Budō's hands and passed through in an instant. Through the gap between Shinomiya and Hanagata, they flew towards Miyagi Ryota.
"Huh?" Shinomiya was a little surprised by Budo's ball. He thought that Budo would give the ball to Mitsui Hisashi after saying those words, but he didn't expect that it would be given to Miyagi Ryota.
However, Shinomiya had no intention of letting Miyagi Ryota shoot. He twisted his steps and rushed towards Miyagi Ryota at a terrifying speed.
"Lingnan! Don't underestimate me!"
Miyagi Ryota caught the ball in an open position, looked directly at the basket, and quickly raised the basketball over his head. What he didn't realize was that Shinomiya was less than two meters away from him at this moment.
"Huh~~" He breathed a sigh of relief, and the basketball flew out of Miyagi Ryota's hands.
The ball path is very straight, the arc is perfect, and the power is moderate. The moment the basketball is released, Miyagi knows that the ball can be scored.
But the next second, a blue figure suddenly jumped up from the side. The tall figure instantly blocked the light above Miyagi, shrouding him in shadow.
"Shinomiya Tōno! Why is he here?!" Miyagi was shocked, but Shinomiya Tōno easily picked up the basketball in the air with one hand, just like an eagle catching a chick.
"Bang!" Shinomiya, who landed on the ground, put the ball in front of his chest and made a crisp sound.
"Capturing...it's so easy!"
"The audience cheered, and Lingnan High School's defensive counterattack also started.
Sendō on the outside quickly rushed towards the frontcourt after seeing Shinomiya Tano finish grabbing the shot. Kenji Fujima in the bottom corner also speeded up instantly and joined the fast break.
Shinomiya looked at Sendō and Fujima running, grabbed the ball with one hand and threw it directly towards the frontcourt.
He was very powerful, and the basketball flew directly over Sendō and Fujima and flew to the front court. After crossing the midline, it began to fall.
"Xian Dao, be careful behind you!" Shinomiya Tano warned loudly after the ball was released, but he had no intention of joining the fast break sequence.
Xiandao didn't look back immediately when he heard the shouting. After picking up the rebounding basketball in the frontcourt, he took the time to tilt his head slightly and look behind him with his peripheral vision.
It didn't matter if he didn't look back, he was really surprised when he turned around.
At some point, Jinguji Budo's figure actually appeared behind him. There was always a distance of about 1 meter between the two. Seeing the indifferent expression on Jinguji Budo's face and the fighting spirit in Xian Dao's heart, It has already rushed out of the chest.
Turning back and looking at Xiangbei's basket, Xiandao dismissed all distracting thoughts and began to speed up. On the other side, Fujima was about to call Sendō to pass the ball, but when he saw Sendō speeding up with the ball and quickly crossing the Shohoku three-point line, he immediately shut his mouth.
Although he has become teammates with everyone in Lingnan not long ago, Fujizhen also has some understanding of Xiandao's character.
Despite Xiandao's usual casual appearance, this guy may be even more proud than Shinomiya Tōno!
"You want to challenge me!" When Jinguji Martial Arts saw Immortal Dao speeding up, he also increased his speed instantly, not giving Immortal Dao a chance to open his position at all.
Soon, Xiandao, who crossed the free throw line with the ball, quickly closed the ball. He did not slow down to adjust his rhythm. Xiandao's speed did not slow down, and he jumped up after two steps.
Jinguji Martial Arts shrank when seeing this scene, but did not slow down either, and jumped up immediately after Immortal Dao.
Xiandao stretched his figure in the air, grabbed the basketball with one hand and wanted to put the ball into the basket, but as soon as he bent his arm, a big hand actually pressed directly on the basketball in Xiandao's hand from top to bottom. Immortal Dao fell quickly under the pressure of huge force.
“ohhhhhhh!
Jinguji Martial Arts, jump so high! "
After an exclamation, Jinguji Martial Arts suppressed Xiandao forcefully. Affected by the huge force, Xiandao was finally unable to maintain his figure in the air. His body became obviously unbalanced and he completely lost control of the basketball. .
Jinguji Budo grabbed the ball with his right hand, hugged the ball in his arms, and adjusted his posture to follow Sendao.
Xiandao, who lost his balance in the air, could not stand at all after landing. He staggered two steps and fell towards the reporters at the bottom line. The reporters who were filming also reacted quickly. They dropped their expensive equipment and opened their arms to catch the upside down Sendao.
"Wow..."
"Peng!"
The filming equipment fell to the ground in a mess, followed by a muffled sound. Sendō's sprint and dunk momentum was very strong. After being affected by Jinguji Martial Arts, the inertia was still very strong. Several reporters outside the baseline were hit.
In the court, Jinguji Budo stood firmly with his lower hand, holding a basketball in his right hand, his head lowered, looking down at Sendō who was falling outside the court.
“Beep beep beep!
! "The referee's whistle sounded urgently, and he pointed a finger at Jinguji who was catching the ball on the court.
"Xiangbei No. 15, defensive foul!"
The referee gave the penalty to Jinguji Budo, who only frowned slightly at the penalty and didn't say anything. He just threw the ball to the referee.
Normally, his ball is not a foul at all. However, Wu Dao didn't have any objections. After all, Shannon Brown's death block was sentenced to a foul. It was reasonable for him to get the penalty for this foul.
Xiandao's posture was quite poor when he landed. Fortunately, there were many reporters in front of him, which helped him relieve a lot of pressure.
Not long after, Xiandao got up and sat on the ground in silence for a long time. Then he came back to his senses amidst the shouts of the people around him, and his eyes gradually gained focus.
"Hey, are you okay?"
Jinguji Martial Arts walked in front of Xiandao and blocked the light in front of Xiandao. While speaking, Jinguji Martial Arts stretched out his hand towards Xiandao.
"ah!"
"fine!"
Xian Dao grabbed Jinguji Martial Arts' hand with one hand and let Jinguji Martial Arts pull him up. His eyes were fixed on Jinguji Martial Arts. There was an inexplicable emotion in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"It's still too early."
After a long time, Xiandao withdrew his gaze, sighed in his heart, and silently walked towards the free throw line.
