Jinguji Martial Arts was secretly relieved that the junior high school students had regained their fighting spirit and momentum. His original intention was not to attack these junior high school students and make them lose hope in basketball.
He just wanted to put pressure on the other party and make these arrogant young people realize the breadth of the world. At the same time, I also hope that these junior high school students can cooperate with their teammates to form outstanding combat effectiveness after realizing their own shortcomings.
When the junior high school students regain their momentum, the goal of martial arts will be half achieved.
Shohoku attacked, and the basketball came into his hands after several passes. Facing Rukawa Kaede's defense, Budo, who received the ball from outside the three-point line, made a direct shot. Budo played more casually in this game, and his shot selection was also very casual. His pull-up shot was very fast, and he easily avoided Rukawa Kaede's block, but there was some deviation in the control of his strength.
The basketball hit the edge of the frame and popped out.
Nango Koichiro, who had regained his fighting spirit, worked hard to get the best rebound position by jamming Takenori Akagi. However, his strength was far behind that of Takenori Akagi, who was a sophomore above him. He was stuck in the paint. The position was completely at a disadvantage, and the position directly below the basketball landing point was firmly occupied by Takenori Akagi.
Seeing the basketball falling rapidly and about to fall into Takenori Akagi's hands, Hanamichi Sakuragi's figure suddenly jumped out from behind Akagi.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
Rush for rebounds.
Sakuragi Hanamichi performed a good show of picking flowers on top of Takenori Akagi's head. The basketball was directly taken into Sakuragi's arms. The powerful bouncing power made the Shohoku players watching the ball exclaim.
Seeing that the shot failed and the rebound was lost, Budo didn't care, turned around and jogged back to the court. The junior high school team does not play fast breaks. This kid Sakuragi Hanamichi only cares about his own performance. When he gets the rebound, he should choose to attack by himself.
Therefore, Budo's pace of returning to defense is not fast. He is confident that with his current position advantage, he can return to defense before Sakuragi enters the frontcourt with the ball.
But just as Budo was thinking this, two figures quickly passed through both sides of Budo. Jinguji Budo looked up and saw Kiyota Nobunaga and Rukawa Kaede running towards the front court. At the same time, both of them turned back and looked at the sky while running.
Seeing this scene, Jinguji Martial Arts turned around in surprise and followed the gazes of the two people. A red light flew rapidly from Martial Arts' head and quickly flew towards the front court.
"Huh?!" Jinguji Budo raised his eyebrows. Seeing Sakuragi still throwing the ball, he looked at the frontcourt expectantly.
"This kid actually passed the ball?"
"Get back to defense quickly!"
Seeing this scene, Jinguji Budo didn't know what was going on. He quickly turned around and saw that the basketball had fallen towards the center line and was held by Rukawa Kaede. Upon seeing this, Budo's expression became solemn, and he bowed slightly and started to accelerate directly. The powerful explosive force caused Jinguji Budo to cross the center line in an instant and rush towards Rukawa Kaede.
Rukawa Kaede, who caught the basketball in the frontcourt, glanced at Nobunaga Kiyota who was walking parallel to him not far away. After retracting his gaze, he also began to speed up. In just a few seconds, Rukawa Kaede crossed the three-point line and approached. At the free throw line, Rukawa Kaede then combined the ball at the free throw line and took the ball for a layup two steps later.
"Oh!
! Caught up in the blink of an eye! "
"So fast, worthy of martial arts!"
Just when Rukawa Kaede dribbled the ball for a layup, the Shohoku players watching the ball let out a burst of exclamations.
In the court, Rukawa Kaede, who was making a layup, felt his eyes darken. A huge shadow enveloped Rukawa Kaede, and an arm stretched out from behind him, and a big hand was pressing towards the basketball.
Rukawa Kaede had no intention of looking back. He suddenly collected the ball, changed hands, and passed the ball directly along the direction of his waist.
"Huh?!" Jinguji Budo, who was chasing Rukawa Kaede, was actually ready for Rukawa Kaede to pull up the stick for a layup. He didn't try his best when he took off, leaving himself ready to change his movements in the air. If Rukawa Feng pulls the lever, and he has enough kinetic energy to change the blocking direction.
But Rukawa Kaede's pass without looking at anyone was indeed beyond Budo's expectations. The basketball flew directly past Budo's side and accurately fell into the hands of Kiyota Nobunaga.
At this time, Kiyota Nobunaga was standing less than one step outside the paint area, subconsciously catching the basketball flying towards him.
Rukawa Kaede's pass is very good. Kiyota Nobunaga's position to receive the ball is quite comfortable. He only needs to simply put his hand on his chest to catch the basketball. Kiyota was also quite surprised by Rukawa Kaede's pass. After a brief pause of one second, Kiyota Nobunaga raised the ball and shot.
But Jinguji Budo, who was just about to block Rukawa Kaede on the inside, had already landed. He turned his head and looked at Kiyota Nobunaga, who was about to lift the ball, and rushed towards Kiyota with a single lunge.
The moment Nobunaga Kiyota took the shot, Budo jumped up on the spot when he was still more than one meter away from Nobunaga Kiyota, raising his right arm high to block the shot.
"It's so far away from me, how could it be blocked?"
"It's just doing nothing..."
Kiyota Nobunaga watched the basketball fly out of his hands, but the confident expression on his face suddenly froze.
"Snapped!"
There was a muffled sound, a red light flew quickly from his face, and the basketball hit the ground with a bang and bounced out of bounds. Kiyota Nobunaga turned his head to look at the basketball that flew out. He turned back blankly and looked at Jinguji Budo who had fallen back to the ground. He couldn't help but whisper: "No...impossible!"
"You are more than one meter away from me. I shot first. Can you cover it?!"
Jinguji Martial Arts stood there, the palm of his right hand was slightly red. Hearing Kiyota Nobunaga's low cry, he raised his head and looked at Kiyota Nobunaga, clenched his right hand into a fist, and said softly: "What gave you this illusion? I can't cover it up." arrive?"
"Huh~ It's really scary! Even if you're just watching from the side, it still feels scary!"
"This junior high school student named Kiyota Nobunaga is so pitiful. He thought he had a chance to score against martial arts."
"You're still young! A little guy with a martial arts reach close to 370 is still trying to shoot in front of martial arts?"
"It's really tragic."
The players watching the game in Shohoku were talking about it for a while, expressing their sympathy for Kiyota Nobunaga in their words. Mitsui Hisashi's cheek twitched slightly when he saw this scene. When he saw Kiyota Nobunaga in a daze on the field, he remembered the scene when he played a practice match with martial arts.
At that time, like Kiyota Nobunaga today, he thought that Jinguji Martial Arts, one meter away, could not pose a threat to his shooting. As a result, when I shot a three-pointer, I was directly hit by the martial arts. Only those who have faced it head-on can have a personal experience of the bounce of the Jinguji martial arts.
There are countless aces in high school basketball who have faced off against Jinguji Budo, and there are only a handful of players who can successfully shoot in front of Budo. The ace of Sanno, the guy who was once hailed as the No. 1 high school student in the country by Akita Prefecture fans, didn't even dare to try shooting in front of Jinguji Martial Arts.
Under the basket, Kaede Rukawa couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh when he saw Nobunaga Kiyota's shot blocked by Jinguji Budo.
This goal was not Kiyota Nobunaga's problem. His reaction was already fast and his shooting was also very quick. It was just that his opponent was too terrifying and exceeded the two's expectations. No one would have thought that someone could block a jumper from more than one meter away.
"Rukawa, you did a good job, keep up the good work."
Jinguji Martial Arts did not look at Kiyota Nobunaga who looked dull, and turned his head to praise Rukawa Kaede.
Rukawa Kaede's no-look pass is quite good. Being able to make such an action temporarily during a layup is already beyond the level of a junior high school student. Even among high school students, it is quite outstanding. For Shohoku, even Rukawa Kaede at this stage is an outstanding fighting force and can add a lot of help to Shohoku on the way to winning the championship.
At the same time, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who can pick flowers on top of Takenori Akagi's head, is also quite outstanding. If trained well, he will definitely be more powerful than Akagi.
As for Kiyota, he is a little immature now. His personal characteristics are not enough for him to take on the offensive tasks of the front line. His ball-handling ability needs to be improved in the back line. He is a player with potential, but he is not ready to fight.
Although Katsumi Ichiro has not played a few balls, he has a steady style of play, good athletic ability, and shooting ability. He is expected to replace Miyagi in the starting lineup, but his physical confrontation is slightly weak and needs practice.
As for Nango Koichiro, he is a weakened version of Akagi. His strength is so-so, his shooting is so-so, his footwork is so-so, and his height is not top-notch. He is more than enough to be a blue-collar worker in the Shohoku team, but it is not enough to be placed in the core position.
Generally speaking, these five junior high school students each have their own characteristics. For Xiangbei, they are definitely reinforcements, but their shortcomings are also obvious. They can still improve before they enter high school.
The junior high school students served out of bounds. This time, these people finally no longer fought alone. They all realized that the opponent in front of them could not be defeated alone.
The basketball was sent out of bounds. Nobunaga Kiyota received the ball and quickly passed it back to Katsumi Ichiro. At the same time, he also went up and set a pick-and-roll for Katsumi Ichiro. Katsumi Ichiro, who found the gap, glanced at the position of Budo, took two steps towards the top of the arc with the ball, and quickly shot a three-pointer before Shohoku came up to defend.
His shooting posture is very good. From his body, the martial arts can be faintly seen as the shadow of Mitsui Hisashi. However, Mitsui Hisashi has now completely changed his shooting into a reverse shot. In order to pursue the ultimate shooting speed, Mitsui Hisashi has completely abandoned the two-stage shooting.
Katsumi Ichiro's three-pointer hit the net and gave the junior high school team three points.
In the next few rounds, the junior high school students all performed admirably, and the cooperation of the outside players gradually became tacit. And Sakuragi Hanamichi consciously exchanged positions with Rukawa Kaede, and grabbed the rebound from Akagi. Sakuragi tasted the sweetness and wanted to replicate his own operation.
But when Budo and Akagi focused their attention on him, the boy completely lost his temper in the rebounding battle.
On the contrary, the three outside players, Rukawa Kaede, Katsumi Ichiro and Kiyota Nobunaga, became more and more calm as they played. Shohoku's outside defenders are Miyagi, Kimetsu nobubu and Tsunoda Satoru. Although Miyagi is good in confrontation and fast, he is still a little short in height. As for Tsunoda and Mugure, their lateral movement speed cannot keep up with Rukawa Kaede and the others.
Rukawa Kaede's mid-range shot was missed, Katsumi Ichiro's three-point shot was also missed, and Kiyota Nobunaga also found his position in the team, cutting inside from time to time to attract Akagi's attention and disturb Shohoku's In the defensive formation, he sometimes tried to grab rebounds. Not to mention, this 1.7-meter-old man really managed to grab a few rebounds with his exaggerated jumping.
Unlike the team of junior high school students who were completely open, Jinguji Budo began to become invisible on the offensive end after leading a few rounds of offense. He mostly acted as a defensive gate and grabbed rebounds. The basketball was given to him. When it is in the hand, it is passed to Akagi or other open players.
Budo gave more opportunities to hold the ball to Akagi, Miyagi and others, allowing them to try to attack.
After all, it is just a practice match. While Budo hopes that the junior high school students will grow, they also hope that Akagi and the others can be pushed away by the pressure brought by these junior high school students. If Xianghoku High School wants to win the championship, it is not easy to rely on his personal ability, and it is not safe.
As the game progressed, the scoreboards of the two teams kept flipping, but they basically maintained a delicate balance. The junior high school students would always be 3 to 7 points behind Xiangbei. No matter how hard the junior high school students worked, these The point difference just can't be caught up.
But such a small point difference allowed the junior high school students to see the hope of victory, and they continued to work hard for this. Others in Xiangbei are also working hard, desperately maintaining this weak advantage, not wanting to lose to these junior high school students.
As the competition progresses, the presence of Jinguji Budo is both thin and dazzling. This contradictory situation does appear in Martial Arts. Its thin presence is due to Martial Arts' inaction on the offensive end. The so-called dazzlingness is because junior high school students will subconsciously pay attention to the position of Martial Arts when attacking.
"This martial arts guy is really scary!"
"He actually controls the score between the two teams. When Junior High School is about to overtake, he will step forward to widen the gap. When the gap is slightly widened, he will become invisible and let Akagi and the others play freely."
"If we don't count Jinguji Martial Arts himself, our team members in Xiangbei may not have any advantage over these junior high school students."
"The abilities of Tsunoda and Mugure are not as good as those of these junior high school students, but this guy in Martial Arts can accurately control points under such circumstances. He is really a scary guy."
The practice match lasted for more than thirty minutes, with a fifteen-minute break. The score between the two teams reached 63:59, with Xiangbei leading by 4 points, and the ball was in the hands of the junior high school students.
The match has been going on for such a long time, and Hisashi Mitsui has seen through some of Jinguji Martial Arts’ behaviors. If Jinguji Martial Arts is at full strength, defeating the junior high school team is just a matter of hands, but Jinguji Martial Arts maintains this situation single-handedly. The score made the players of the two teams compete fiercely.
Coach Anxi on the sidelines can certainly see this. He is very satisfied with the performance of martial arts. He just wants healthy competition among these players. However, bystanders know clearly, the authorities are fans, and the players on the court are working hard in the hope of winning the final victory.
They probably couldn't imagine that the situation of the game was actually running according to the will of Jinguji Martial Arts.
Among the players, the first person to become aware was Rukawa Kaede. He found that no matter how he scored, he could not close the score difference. After another successful attack, his personal score reached 28 points.
Rukawa Kaede turned his head and glanced at the score of 63:62 between the two teams. Seeing that the score was about to overtake Shohoku, he felt a little hopeful.
Turning around, I saw that the person holding the ball in Shohoku's side had changed from Miyagi Ryota to Jinguji Martial Arts.
"It's... this... bastard!" Looking at Jinguji Martial Arts with a smile on his face and advancing with the ball, Rukawa Kaede was shocked and cursed in disbelief. He felt like he was standing on his head with all the hair on his body. I felt a deep sense of terror.
