Sendō, who stepped onto the free throw line, quickly adjusted his mentality. For him, challenging Jinguji Martial Arts was something he had been looking forward to for a long time, and in his heart, he had actually been prepared to fail.
Therefore, when the blow really came, Xiandao was not as difficult to accept as he appeared.
It's just that Jinguji Budo's block did cause his body to receive a violent impact. Sendō could clearly feel the slight pain in his body when he was taking free throws, which caused his originally quite stable free throws to appear. A situation where two free throws were made 0.
"Xian Dao, are you okay?"
"Are you really not hurt?"
When Kenji Fujima saw Sendao miss two free throws, he ran to Sendao's side when he returned to defense and asked with concern.
"No, I just suffered some effects and will be fine soon."
Xiandao said and moved his shoulders and neck. He knew his own state very well. Although his posture when he was thrown to the ground by the martial arts of Jinguji Temple was embarrassing and he looked very fierce when he landed, but with a reporter friend acting as a meat pad, he couldn't do it at all. No harm was done.
"Tengzhen, don't worry about him, this guy says he's fine, he really is fine."
"Speaking of immortality, how does it feel to face the martial arts of Jinguji Temple head-on?"
"How about I give you a few more balls and try again?"
Shinomiya Tiandou passed by Immortal Road on his way back to defense, and suddenly asked towards Immortal Road.
In Lingnan High School, Shinomiya Tano is indeed the well-deserved ace, but other than him, whether it is Sendao or Fujima, they are all top-notch masters. Even if you look at the country, they are also ranked among the strongest.
Sendō is very proud, Shinomiya Tano knows this very well, and he never suppresses his teammates' desire to perform in the team. The situation on the field is still under his control. At this time, if Sendō hopes to get Shinomiya Tano will definitely support if some ball rights are regained from Jinguji Budo.
"No need, I can't get past him now. Even if I can score the ball, it will be difficult."
"There is no need to waste precious opportunities to strike."
After hearing Shinomiya Tōno's words, Sendō shook his head and refused. Sendō's reaction surprised both Shinomiya Tōno and Fujima Kenji. They had just suffered such a big loss at the hands of Jinguji Martial Arts, and Sendō actually gave in like this? This was different from the proud young man they remembered.
Moreover, they are all of the same age, and they think that if they suffered such a big loss, they would never let it go.
"Are you giving up now? Although Jinguji martial arts is indeed very strong, you are not weak either. How can you just give up?"
"Why don't you continue to challenge Jinguji martial arts and challenge your own limits?"
"You can't do this. You have no fighting spirit! You must have the will to never admit defeat!"
Shinomiya asked with some doubts. In his opinion, being able to fight against a player like Jinguji Budo is a rare opportunity. The current situation on the field allows Sendō to be willful, and he and Fujima both support it. Other Lingnan The players won't say anything, and even Coach Tianoka will never object at this time.
He couldn't figure out why Xian Dao gave up so easily.
He would never be able to bear the same thing happening to him.
"Never admit defeat...sounds really awesome."
"But I'm not you, I can't do that, and my abilities don't allow it."
"In my opinion, to admit defeat is to accurately accept oneself. I have seen the broad side of the world, and I remain humble about this."
"Of course, admitting defeat today does not mean that I will admit defeat forever. I have personally measured the gap between him and me. One day, I will personally defeat him."
"It's just that it's not today!"
Sendō rarely said a lot. Shinomiya Tano heard this and didn't say much. He smiled and patted Sendō's shoulder, and completed his position outside the three-point line in his own half.
Sendao is a unique player. Sendao, who just entered Lingnan High School, showed off his sharp edges, but soon, Sendao restrained these sharp edges. Normally, Sendao is a lazy and gentle person, and he is not like Shinomiya in normal times. Like Tian Ye, he showed an extremely strong desire to win.
Immortalism always gives people a feeling of freedom and laziness.
But anyone who is familiar with the immortal way knows that the pride of the immortal way is deep in the bones.
"Xiandao, I will help you find it!"
Shinomiya's eyes looked at Jinguji Budo who was running towards the front court, and he thought to himself that when Budo was close to the three-point line, Shinomiya immediately followed him, and this time, his defense was different from previous ones. There is a big difference. This time, he started to play close defense.
"Huh?" Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tanano have faced each other not once or twice. He can feel the sudden increase in the opponent's defensive intensity.
The distance between the two is less than 10cm. At this distance, even the ball is full of risks of being intercepted.
"This guy is starting to defend with all his strength. Isn't he going to save his strength? Or does this guy think he can last 20 minutes with this kind of defense?"
Different from positional defense, which is a defensive method that is just waiting for work, close defense is very energy-consuming. Normally, this defensive method will only be used when the team is critical to victory, or it will be specially trained by the team to play briefly. Only top defensive players will adopt such a defensive method regardless of consumption.
It's far from the time for the decisive battle between the two teams, and Shinomiya is obviously not that kind of tool person. He also has to shoulder offensive tasks. How can he still have physical strength when attacking when he works so hard on the defensive end?
It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to play 20 minutes with this kind of defense while taking into account offense.
Although Jinguji Martial Arts was a little surprised, he did not dare to stand still. Shohoku High School's offense is completely centered around him. Once he stops standing still, there will be big problems in the operation of Shohoku's offense.
Facing Shinomiya Tano's defense, Jinguji Budo could only rely on movement to create opportunities for himself to get the ball. Unlike those ordinary defenders, Shinomiya Tanano is not inferior to Jinguji Budo in terms of speed, strength, and physical condition. Simply running straight and in an arc cannot create a comfortable enough space for receiving the ball.
If Budo faces a player like Miyagi Ryota, no matter how closely Miyagi defends, relying on his tonnage and height, Budoka can easily catch the ball even if he stands still, but facing Shinomiya, it is impossible. possible.
Therefore, when running without the ball, Wu Dao added a lot of emergency stops, starts, and reverse running movements, and finally succeeded in getting rid of a distance of more than one meter. However, he had a chance to catch the ball, but he had to control the ball. Miyagi Ryota was forced to stop the ball by Fujima Kenji because he held the ball for too long.
For a future player, stopping the ball means risk. As soon as Budao was free, Miyagi had no chance to play the ball.
The opportunity to pass the ball was fleeting, and Miyagi, who was unable to play the ball immediately, had no chance to pass the ball to Budo, because Shinomiya's defense once again stuck to Budo.
Wu Dao had no choice but to quickly run towards Miyagi, go around behind Miyagi, and receive the basketball from Miyagi Ryota hand in hand.
Although the basketball entered Wu Dao's hands, Wu Dao caught the ball at a position more than 2 meters outside the three-point center at the top of the arc.
As far as offense with the ball is concerned, this position is too bad, and it is also too far away from the basket.
When the basketball started, Shinomiya's pressure was immediately in place. Jinguji Budo could only press his back against Shinomiya. In this way, he maintained his dribbling space, and then quickly turned around and rushed forward. .
His position was far away from the basket, and Kenji Fujima was also very close. When Budo turned around and broke through, not only Shinomiya was the first to apply pressure with his body, but Kenji Fujima also quickly surrounded him, without giving up. An opportunity for a breakthrough in martial arts.
Seeing this scene, Budo did not choose to continue the forceful attack. Fujima was still more afraid of taking out the ball, and the position of catching the ball was too far away, even a dry pull was not possible. Even if he faked a move in this position, Shinomiya No. Maybe it's a pretense.
Jinguji Budo made a back pass while advancing and gave the ball to Miyagi on the side before Fujima could grab it.
Miyagi received the ball and stepped on the three-point line, leaving a wide open space.
After a brief hesitation, Miyagi raised the ball and threw it.
After all, three-pointers are not an area that Miyagi Ryota is good at. Although the shooting seems to be very accurate, the control of strength is really poor. The basketball hit the edge of the basket, rebounded a certain height, and then began to fall.
At this time, in the basket of Lingnan High School, in addition to Jun Uozumi, Hanagata and Sendō had also entered the basket, and instantly formed a siege on Akagi.
If Takenori Akagi only faced one Yuzumi, he would still have a chance to grab an offensive rebound, but faced with the siege of three long men from Lingnan, Akagi was simply too crowded to even make a jump shot.
The basketball was easily collected into Yuzumi's arms.
"well done!"
"Start fighting back!"
Coach Tianoka off the field shouted loudly when he saw this scene. He was very satisfied with the player's performance. Uozumi, Hanagata, and Sendō all have excellent frame-protecting abilities. According to Coach Taoka's vision, Uozumi, who committed three offenses, will definitely be able to protect Lingnan's basket under the cover of Sendō and Hanagata.
And Shinomiya Tōno, who was fully defensive, could definitely greatly suppress the offensive efficiency of Jinguji Martial Arts.
"Go back to defense!" Miyagi shouted and started to run back. Uozumi, who grabbed the rebound, had no idea of being steady. He looked at Fujima running towards the front court and quickly threw the ball away.
The three Lingnan players were all under the basket. With such an offensive rebound, Yuzhu actually planned a fast break!
"It's actually a fast break? Is it only Fujima and Shinomiya's fast break?"
Jinguji Budo watched the basketball fly towards the front court and immediately followed Shinomiya. He originally thought that Shinomiya would unleash his power and move forward at full speed, but strangely, Shinomiya who was running in front seemed to be He had no intention of participating in a fast attack. Instead, after noticing Wu Dao's pursuit, he deliberately got stuck in Wu Dao's path to prevent Wu Dao from speeding up.
"This guy!" Martial Arts was caught by Shinomiya Tanano unpreparedly, and his speed suddenly slowed down. At the same time, Kenji Fujima also picked up the missing basketball in the frontcourt, without taking into account Miyagi Ryota's return defense, he quickly got to the basket and scored a layup against Miyagi's defense.
A beautiful defensive counterattack, the entire attack lasted only 6 seconds.
By the time Wu Dao Shanshan ran to the basket, the basketball had already rolled outside the baseline.
"That guy Shinomiya Noboru, his offensive style has changed a lot."
"If it were him before, he would definitely join the fast break immediately, then ask for the ball from his teammates, and use his own personal ability to finish."
"But now, this guy actually knows how to create offensive opportunities for his teammates!"
Jinguji Budo did not look at Fujima who scored the goal. Instead, he turned to look at Shinomiya Tanano who had already started to return to the field. The guy just delayed his speed and confirmed that Budo could not catch up with Fujima. Continue to run upfield.
Shinomiya Tōno during his junior high school years was like a lone tiger. Although he was ferocious, martial arts could still suppress him by relying on the strength of the team.
But now a group of ferocious tigers have gathered in Sigan Tano, forming a ferocious tiger group. When these ferocious tigers surround him, the strength of Sigan Tano, the tiger king, has also made a qualitative leap.
This leap is not reflected in aspects such as bounce and strength, but a leap in consciousness and strategy.
"Miyagi, find a way to get the ball into Xiaosan's hands."
Budo picked up the basketball on the ground, walked outside the baseline and sent the ball. When he passed by Miyagi, he gave Miyagi instructions.
Shinomiya's defense regardless of physical strength made it difficult for him to have a good chance. Now Shohoku needs to change direction. Although there is no support from martial arts, Budo firmly believes that Mitsui Hisashi has the ability to break through Sendō's defense and lead Shohoku out. Dilemma.
Shohoku attacked. After Miyagi Ryota brought the ball into the frontcourt, he did not release the ball immediately. Instead, he observed the matchup situation on the Budo side.
The situation there made Miyagi understand the meaning of what Budo just said.
Shinomiya is like a piece of candy, stuck to Budo. No matter how much Budo moves, there is no way to completely get rid of Shinomiya. Budo even tried to penetrate the inside and use Akagi's pick-and-roll to get rid of Shinomiya. .
But Jun Uozumi is obviously a lot smarter. When Budo passes by the inner lane, Uozumi will block Budō's position in a subtle way. This makes it impossible for Budō to maintain his speed. After a short distance, he will be quickly caught up. .
It's not like Budo couldn't find any openings under Shinomiya Tōno's defense. What's sad is that even if Budo's side could briefly find some openings, Miyagi's side couldn't pass the ball out immediately. .
In front of Fujima, Miyagi simply couldn't hit the ball whenever he wanted.
It is not so much that martial arts was blocked by Shinomiya Tōno, but rather that Miyagi was weak in the face of Fujima, which led to the sluggish attack in Shohoku.
Mitsui Hisashi clearly sensed something was wrong. He immediately pulled up from the baseline and ran toward Miyagi to catch the ball. He raised his position and expanded Sendō's range of activities. From the situation, Shohoku was facing another defensive pressure. got bigger.
"Quickly pass the ball!" Mitsui Hisashi did not choose to help Budo provide a ball-free screen. Instead, he quickly came to Miyagi and took the ball hand-in-hand.
Immediately after the 30-second buzzer sounded, he shot a three-pointer more than one meter away from the three-point line.
Although Xiandao's pursuit came in time, he was unable to block the shot and could only watch the basketball fly towards the basket.
"Dang~" The ball hit the net unexpectedly, and with a soft sound, the basketball collapsed directly out of the basket. Under the basket, Hanagata and Uozumi pinched Akagi tightly, one on the left and the other on the right. The oppressed Akagi was unable to take off immediately, and watched helplessly as Hanagata took the rebound from in front of him.
The next second, the basketball flew away, and Sendō and Fujima quickly broke. Shinomiya, on the other hand, immediately chose Kabuto to pursue. However, after a delay of less than a second, the martial arts could not speed up. He could only watch Sendao and Tengzhen go away.
Two-on-one in the frontcourt, Facing Miyagi's defensive defense, Sendo didn't have any scruples, and directly performed a dunk on Miyagi.
Amid the cheers of the audience, Sendō, who dunked on Miyagi and scored a slam dunk, breathed a sigh of relief. His mood became extremely cheerful, and his steps seemed much happier.
