"Oh! The ball has just passed half-time, but these two boys Rukawa Kaede and Katsumi Ichiro can't stand it anymore."
"The double-teaming was very timely!"
Mitsui Hisashi returned his attention to the court after knowing that Chiba Oishi had not injured his bones.
This scene of double-teaming martial arts was seen by Mitsui Hisashi, with deep expectations in his heart. He really wants to see how these two juniors can perform when facing players like Jinguji Budo.
As Jinguji Budo dribbled the ball across the center line, Rukawa Kaede and Katsumi Ichiro successively let go of Konobuhi and Tsunoda Satoru, quickly came to Budo's side, and when Budo was close to the three-point line, they blocked Budo's way.
When Sakuragi Hanamichi, who originally wanted to defend martial arts, turned his head and glanced at Tsunoda Satoru near the inside line, he chose to enter the inside line instead of continuing to defend martial arts.
"The stinking fox, and that hermaphrodite, since you are so active, then go ahead. When you are defeated by the martial arts brother, I will come back to clean up the mess!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi stood beside Tsunoda Satoru and looked at the matchup on the outside, waiting to see the joke between Rukawa Kaede and Katsumi Ichiro.
Rukawa Kaede and Katsumi Ichiro both have solid foundations. They have a very low center of gravity when defending, and are ready to follow up at any time. Seeing this, Wu Dao looked past the two of them and landed on Mu Mu Gongyan, who was in an open position not far away. He casually hung the ball over the heads of the two.
Jinguji Budo is much taller than Rukawa Kaede and Katsumi Ichiro, and the lob was passed quite easily at this moment. In the surprised gazes of Rukawa Kaede and Katsumi Ichiro, the basketball flew directly over their heads and fell into the hands of Kimugure Kimibunobu.
Mu Mu received the ball without any hesitation, adjusted his posture slightly, and shot directly against the three-point line.
For open three-pointers, Kimetsu Konobu has been practicing three-pointers after training every day for the past few months. His three-pointer shooting rate has improved a lot. If the competition is fierce, Konobumu Mumu's three-pointer may not be able to play much role, but with the intensity of the game at this stage, his three-pointer is already a big threat.
"Whoa!" With a soft sound, the basketball hit the net, and the scoreboard in Xiangbei also added three points as the players on the sidelines flipped it.
"Good shot, Mumu!" Jinguji Martial Arts stepped forward and fist-bumped Mumu to celebrate, smiling and encouraging. Mumu Gongyan was also very happy to successfully hit the three-pointer and nodded heavily. Konobu Kigure originally thought that Jinguji Budo took the ball in the backcourt for his own singles, but he didn't expect that Budo would pass the ball to him.
Mu Mu Gongyan also benefited greatly from the trust given by martial arts.
"Senior, are you scared?"
Just when Wu Dao was about to return to defense with his teammates, a voice came from behind Wu Dao. Budao couldn't help but stop and look back, and found Rukawa Kaede standing not far behind him, looking at him sternly, looking a little unhappy.
"Katsumi, just wait until I can deal with senior alone."
Rukawa Kaede didn't wait for Budo to answer, and said to Katsumi Ichiro beside him. He thought that Budo chose to pass the ball because he did not dare to confront the two of them head-on. If this was the case, then he would do it alone. In this way, Jinguji Budo would not be afraid to escape!
"..." Jinguji Budo glanced at Rukawa Kaede, smiled and said nothing, turned around and followed his teammates' return to defense.
With the introduction of Jinguji Martial Arts, Shohoku High School's defensive formation made some adjustments.
It was originally a man-to-man defense, but after Budao came on the court, it was changed to a 23-zone defense.
The inside line was guarded by Jinguji Budou and Takenori Akagi, while Tsunoda Satoru, Miyagi Ryota, and Kimugure Kimonobu expanded the defense line to a three-point area.
At the same time, Wu Dao also revealed some information about the junior high school students to his teammates.
"Miyagi, the kid you're guarding doesn't have a basket, just pay attention to his breakthrough."
"Kakuda, you go and defend Rukawa Kaede, just make sure he doesn't shoot. If the opponent breaks through, just let him in."
"Akagi, the bleached boy you are targeting is not as strong as you, but his bounce is pretty good. Grab the board and block his position. Don't take advantage of him when defending. Don't jump. Just allow interference."
"Mumu, pay attention to Katsumi Ichiro's three-pointer and let it go."
Wu Dao stood on the inside line and directed the defensive arrangements of the players before the junior high school students entered the frontcourt. All Shohoku teammates present knew that Jinguji Martial Arts went to junior high schools to recruit students with Coach Anzai and Hisashi Mitsui.
It’s not surprising that Budo knew about the situation of the junior high school students. After receiving Budo’s instructions, a group of Xiangbei players also had their own defensive ideas, waiting for the junior high school students to enter the frontcourt full of information.
As for the junior high school students, after the previous two troubles caused by Kiyota Nobunaga and Sakuragi Hanamichi, Nango Koichiro and Katsumi Ichiro were also on guard. This time, Katsumi Ichiro deliberately reached the baseline when serving, almost hand to hand. Got the basketball.
Sakuragi and Kiyota, who were watching eagerly from the sidelines, saw that there was no chance, so they snorted in unison, and then ran towards the frontcourt.
"Three-pointers... If that's the case, I'll take these three points back!"
Katsumi Ichiro advanced with the ball. While running, he glanced at the scoreboard on the sidelines, thinking about the three-pointer Kimugure Kimibu just made, and he already had a plan for this round of offense in his mind.
Katsumi Ichiro's advancement speed was not fast. By the time he came to the frontcourt, his teammates had already completed their positioning. Unlike before, Sakuragi Hanamichi was isolated and helpless with the ball. As Katsumi Ichiro approached the three-point line, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Kiyota Nobunaga were a few meters apart, waving towards Katsumi Ichiro for the ball.
And Rukawa Kaede was in the mid-range position, with his back against Tsunoda Satoru, stretching out his arms to ask for the ball. Even Nango Koichiro on the inside slipped out of the basket at this moment and asked for the ball near the baseline.
Katsumi Ichiro saw these teammates asking for the ball, but he only glanced at it briefly. Then he focused on Kimugure Kimibu in front of him, and his high-gravity dribbling method also quickly changed. The entire center of gravity of dribbling dropped.
"His height is quite different from mine, so he can't stop me!"
Katsumi Ichiro secretly thought to himself, dribbling the ball with his crotch and observing Kimugure Kimibu's defensive direction.
Suddenly, Katsumi Ichiro straightened up and directly connected the ball with him for a three-pointer. The moment he combined the ball, Kimugue Kimibu, who was well prepared, quickly swooped forward. Although he could not complete the block due to his height and bounce, his sudden block still had some impact on Katsumi Ichiro.
There was inevitably some deviation in the force of the shot. The basketball flew halfway across the court and hit the front edge of the basket when it fell and collapsed outward. Nango Koichiro, who was outside the baseline paint area, obviously did not expect Katsumi Ichiro to take action so suddenly. Just as he was about to rush inside to grab the board, he was directly stuck in place by Takenori Akagi.
The basketball that bounced off was directly caught in Jinguji Budo's hand.
"Quick attack!"
Jinguji Budo grabbed the board with one hand, and without waiting for it to land, he shouted and threw the ball towards the front court. No need for Budo to remind him, the moment Katsumi Ichiro missed the shot, Miyagi was already running towards the frontcourt. The moment Budo passed the ball, Miyagi Ryota had already crossed the center line, and then received the ball in the frontcourt. A basketball thrown by Budo.
Shohoku's defensive counterattack went so fast that the junior high school students were completely unprepared. After receiving the ball, Miyagi Ryota directly made an empty basket and easily scored the ball.
As the score on the scoreboard was flipped, the score difference between the two teams began to widen.
"Damn it! You bastard, stop betting blindly!"
"It's all because you don't pass the ball."
"The opponent scored again!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi saw his opponent score and put all the blame on Katsumi Ichiro. Obviously it hasn't been long since the game started, and the point difference is not too big to catch up, but at this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi has indeed begun to divide the pot.
"Hey, it's not your turn for a guy like you who can't score an overhead layup to talk to me!" Katsumi Ichiro rolled his eyes at Hanamichi Sakuragi, took a deep look at Konobu Kigure, and quickly trotted back to the court. With him, there were Rukawa maple.
"Damn it! This hermaphrodite!"
"It's impossible to expect this guy to pass the ball. I have to find a way to get the basketball myself!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at Katsumi Ichiro's leaving back, gritted his teeth, then turned to look at Jinguji Budo and Akagi Takenori on the inside, his heart was crossed, and he walked directly towards the inside.
"Rebound! As long as I can get a rebound, I can get a second chance to attack!"
"Brother Wu Dao and Gorilla are both on the inside, but this is the only way I can get the ball!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi was silent, walking step by step towards Jinguji Budo, then stood beside Budo, bent down, put his hands on his knees, waiting for his teammates to dribble the ball into the frontcourt.
"Hanamichi, it looks like you want to compete with me!"
"You have to work harder and don't let me down!"
Budao looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi who was standing in front of him, said with a smile, then moved his steps, walked in front of Sakuragi Hanamichi, and in turn stuck Sakuragi behind him.
Facing the Jinguji Martial Arts, Sakuragi was not to be outdone. The muscles in his whole body were tense, and he firmly resisted the Jinguji Martial Arts so that he would not lose his position. Sakuragi exerted all his strength and looked like he was trying hard to get into position. On the other hand, Jinguji Martial Arts just leaned back and used his weight to get into position, with a look of indifference on his face, and it was effortless at all.
And Hanamichi is also a stubborn person, and he doesn't know how to remove the stool, so he just holds on to his martial arts, waiting for the opportunity to grab rebounds.
Kaede Rukawa served from the bottom line, and the basketball was still in the hands of Katsumi Ichiro. Katsumi Ichiro, who brought the ball into the frontcourt, suffered a hidden loss in the hands of Kimigure Konobu. This time, Katsumi Ichiro, who was holding the ball, was obviously a lot more cautious. .
After approaching Kimugure Kimibu's defense line, he kept pouring the ball with his left and right hands in front of him, changing his position to look for opportunities to break through. Although the young Katsumi Ichiro is two grades below Kigure, he is really not as good as Katsumi Ichiro in terms of football skills. As Katsumi Ichiro's body swayed, Kigure Kimibu's defense still showed flaws.
After Katsumi Ichiro's tentative physical confrontation, Kokumo Kimonobu staggered, allowing Katsumi Ichiro to find a chance to break through. He quickly stopped, connected and changed direction and quickly passed Kokumo Kōnobu's defense.
Then Katsumi Ichiro dribbled across the three-point line and took a long shot from the open space.
This time, there were no more accidents. The basketball went directly into the net, narrowing the point difference between the two teams.
"Good breakthrough moves, and his shooting posture is also quite good. In terms of technique alone, he is already at the level of a high school student."
"With this skill, when I enter high school, I can be a regular starter in the top four teams in the county, and even gain ace status."
Katsumi Ichiro's goal was of high quality. Hisashi Mitsui nodded and gave his evaluation.
"Don't worry, start attacking."
Wu Dao clapped his hands, attracted Mu Mu Gongyan's attention and then said to Mu Mu. With the encouragement of martial arts, Mu Mu also adjusted his mentality and quickly ran towards the frontcourt.
On the Shohoku side, Miyagi Ryota was responsible for holding the ball. Budo himself quickly ran across the center line and landed near the three-point line.
On the defensive end, Wu Dao is an inside line, but on the offensive end, he becomes an outside line. Shohoku's only interior players on the offensive end are Tsunoda Satoru and Takenori Akagi.
As Miyagi Ryota entered the frontcourt with the ball, Rukawa Kaede also quickly ran to Budo's body to be on guard. Katsumi Ichiro did not go with Rukawa Kaede this time, but guarded Konobu Mugure.
Miyagi Ryota glanced towards Budao and gave Budao a look.
Seeing this spiritual connection, Budo quickly ran towards Miyagi. The moment the two figures crossed each other, the basketball was passed from Miyagi Ryota's hand to Budo's. Nobunaga Kiyota, who was defending Miyagi, did not realize that the basketball had been handed out by Miyagi, and chased Miyagi away.
But Budo, who had just caught the ball, used Miyagi Ryota's body to block it, and the basketball in his hand entered the blind spot of Rukawa Kaede's vision.
Rukawa Kaede can only judge the direction of the martial arts ball landing by the swing of his martial arts arms. Martial arts is also very aware of this. After a feint, he quickly dropped the ball and accelerated the breakthrough. In an instant, he passed Rukawa Kaede and broke through to the inside.
Seeing Jinguji's martial arts breakthrough, Rukawa Kaede hurriedly started to catch up. Sakuragi Hanamichi on the inside also quickly made a move. He did not dare to neglect and quickly stopped in front of martial arts. Even Nango Koichiro, who was guarding Takenori Akagi, relaxed his vigilance against Akagi at this time and set his sights on the breakthrough martial arts.
Sakuragi Hanamichi intercepted them in front, Rukawa Kaede chased them in the back, and Nango Koichiro watched eagerly from the side.
Although martial arts broke through Rukawa Kaede's defense line, the pressure he faced not only did not decrease, but instead doubled.
Under such pressure, Jinguji Martial Arts advanced unabated, and soon arrived in front of Sakuragi Hanamichi. Facing Sakuragi Hanamichi's defense, the advancing Martial Arts suddenly stopped, straightened up, and looked A simple act of worshiping towards the basket directly deceived the simple Hanamichi Sakuragi.
As Sakuragi Hanamichi got up, Jinguji Budo also successfully crossed Sakuragi's defense line and entered the basket.
Jinguji Budo approached the basket, and then the ball jumped up.
"Don't even think about it!" However, as Wu Dao took off, Rukawa Kaede's figure actually jumped out from Wu Dao's side, raised his right arm high, and hit the basketball fiercely.
Seeing that Rukawa Kaede's hand was about to touch the basketball, Jinguji Budō, who was holding the basketball high and preparing to dunk, suddenly shrank his arm in the air and put the ball into his arms, instantly avoiding Rukawa Kaede's block. At the same time, Budō His body made a weird half-turn in the air, and he poured the ball directly into the basket with his backhand.
Tie rod back buckle.
Jinguji Budo grabbed the basket with one hand, his body swaying slightly, and he looked down at Rukawa Kaede, who had fallen back to the ground, with a surprised look on his face.
"This is...the national ace!"
"So strong!
"
