The feeling of a long-lost game made Shinomiya extremely excited.
Under the arrangement of coach Taoka, the Kanagawa Prefecture representative team arranged two lineups. It can be said that the first and second half played two systems, the system of Lingnan High School and the system of Shohoku High School.
This arrangement also gave Shinomiya a feeling of competition with Jinguji Martial Arts. He was already planning to seriously deal with the Kyoto players.
In the warm-up venue, Jinguji Budo and others took up a lot of space because they were playing in the second half, and the warm-up activities were not that intense. The Lingnan players from Shinomiya Tōdō and Xiandao appeared to be much more active and serious, and most areas of the venue were also available for everyone in Lingnan.
Soon, the warm-up time passed.
With the referee's whistle, the players from both sides returned to the rest area and made final preparations before going on the field.
The people at Lingnan High School have been working together for a long time. In the first half of the game, the players were very familiar with each other. Coach Tian Gang did not make any tactical arrangements for the players. He just asked Xiandao to play point guard. Let Fujima do the scoring, that's all, it's a small adjustment.
As the players from the Kanagawa Prefecture team and the Kyoto team entered the field, warm cheers erupted from the stands. After all, Kanagawa has the home field advantage, and the cheers from the audience are overwhelmingly cheering for everyone in Kanagawa Prefecture.
As the players completed their positions in the center circle, the referee also walked into the court with a basketball and stood on the center line. After looking left and right at the centers of both teams, the referee blew his whistle and then threw the ball high into the air.
...
"Ho...ho..."
"Why! Why are these people in Kanagawa so strong?!"
"These guys...are these guys really high school students?!"
Ten minutes into the match between Kanagawa Prefecture and Kyoto, Kyoto's coach was standing on the sidelines with his fists clenched and a look of disbelief on his face. On the sidelines, the score on the scoreboard has reached 31:13. Kanagawa Prefecture relies on its overwhelming strength to firmly occupy the initiative on the field.
In the court, Xiandao controlled the ball and entered the frontcourt, and before he reached the frontcourt, the other players had already completed their positions early.
Shinomiya cut into the mid-range, pressed his back against the defender, and reached for the ball. The defensive player behind him didn't dare to push Shinomiya Tano even half a step no matter how hard he tried. Even when he tried to go around to defend, Shinomiya was keenly aware of it, and with a slight movement behind him, he was firmly stuck behind him.
Here, Shinomiya simply stretched out his hand, and Sendou, who was controlling the ball over there, knew it in his mind, threw the ball seemingly casually, and ran in the opposite direction of Shinomiya's half.
"Bang!" As the basketball fell into Shinomiya's hands, all the Lingnan players gathered in another quarter court.
“ohhhhh!!!”
"Fourth Palace! Fourth Palace! Fourth Palace!"
As soon as the basketball was in hand, the audience on the sidelines burst into amazing cheers, and the waves poured into the court one after another.
The player who was defending Shinomiya was already under great pressure from Shinomiya. Under the pressure of this noise, his body movements became stiff.
But Shinomiya Dono doesn't care what state his opponent is in. From the beginning of today's game, he went all out!
"Bang!" After the ball was blasted, Shinomiya quickly turned around to face the frame. At the same time, the basketball was suspended in his hand, and Shinomiya's upper body moved slightly. After a feint, he did not care whether his opponent reacted or not. It is a direct breakthrough, and the body will inevitably rub against the opponent.
Not to mention Kyoto's defenders turning around to pursue him, he was left behind by Shinomiya without even being able to react under Shinomiya's breakthrough.
After passing through, Shinomiya went to the basket, and at this time, something surprising happened to everyone.
Kyoto's center under the basket saw Shinomiya's breakthrough and attack on the basket. Not only did he not step forward to block it, he actually trembled and subconsciously took two steps back, leaving Shinnomiya completely free of space under the basket.
"waste!"
Shinomiya, who was preparing to attack the basket, immediately noticed the opponent's movements. After a low curse, he jumped up more than one meter away from the basket, dunked the ball with one hand, and hit the ball into the basket. And Shinomiya's body also hit directly behind the Kyoto center, pushing the latter several steps away.
"whispering sound!"
"It's getting boring!"
Shinomiya fell back to the ground, casually swatted the basketball toward the baseline, and after a slight sigh, turned around and started to defend. However, his opponent had no temper at all when facing Shinomiya like this, and walked to the baseline silently. , ready to serve. The game had only been played for a short period of time, but Kyoto's players showed a sluggish expression, with no vitality at all.
The state of the Kyoto players was noticed by coach Taoka. At this time, he was holding a cup of hot tea in both hands, with his legs crossed and the old man sitting on the seat. Taking a sip of tea, Coach Tian Gang showed a satisfied smile on his face.
】
"Facing a player of Tian Tian's caliber, if you don't have enough mental preparation, you will indeed be defeated."
"Because in front of him, the opponent has no hope of victory at all!"
"In ten minutes, Tian Ye has already scored 20 points. Hehehe, his overwhelming ability is very similar to when I was young."
Coach Tian Gang was not surprised that his opponent would be in such a state, even if the opponent was a strong county team.
"The overwhelming personal ability is not so much that Shinomiya's ability is too strong, but that his opponent is too weak."
"Ordinary ace players are no match for him when facing him."
"Only the ace of a strong team is qualified to stand in front of him, but that's just the qualification to fight against him..."
"Zebei, this guy is the one you must surpass!"
Akita Prefecture, led by Goro Domoto, was sitting in the first row of the stands watching the game between Kanagawa and Kyoto. Looking at the active Shinomiya, Goro Domoto said to Eiji Sawabita next to him with a solemn expression.
At this time, Zebita Eiji did not agree as quickly as usual, but after staring at Shinomiya Fields for a long time, he nodded solemnly.
Eiji Sawabita, who has been training in the United States for a period of time, feels that he has grown a lot. Before that, he felt that with his current level, he could easily defeat Shinomiya Tanano. But after watching Shinomiya's game today, he realized how naive he really was.
Only after seeing the basketball in that country and seeing the basketball geniuses in that country, Eiji Sawabita knew how ridiculously strong Shinomiya was.
That kind of talent is simply not something an Asian player can possess...
He had even begun to doubt whether the special skills he had developed over the past few months could successfully overcome Shinomiya's defense.
"Snapped!!!"
Just when Eiji Sawabita was thinking this, there was a sudden crisp sound in the court. As the sound rang out, the basketball turned into a red light and quickly flew out from the basket towards the Kyoto half.
It turned out that at this moment, Kyoto had already reorganized its offense. Kyoto's forward players used the pick-and-roll of their teammates to cross Shinomiya and rush to the basket to prepare for a layup, but what came head-on was four. Miyatano chased the sky-shading hand from behind.
With speed, jumping, strength, and reaction, Shinomiya's defensive range is not generally large when he crushes his opponents in all directions. If he shoots quickly after the pick-and-roll, he may not be able to do anything, but the opponent is trying to attack the inside? Doesn't this treat him as a dead person? !
The basketball flew rapidly towards the frontcourt. Sendō, who had quick eyes and quick hands, picked up the basketball and threw it directly towards the frontcourt. There, Fujima crossed the center line early, successfully received Sendō's pass, and then entered the basket with a light kick. The layup sent the ball into the basket.
The Kyoto team members who had no fighting spirit after being beaten by Shinomiya Tano felt that the time was too difficult. Now, every second is suffering for them. On both offense and defense, they are the backdrop for everyone in Kanagawa Prefecture. Playing basketball is no fun for them.
For them, they just want to end this game quickly.
As time passed, the Kyoto players finally fulfilled their wish. Counting the penalty timeout, the first half was finally over at 23 minutes, and the game entered the intermission. .
The score between the two teams reached 54:23, and the point difference actually widened to a terrifying 31 points.
"Haha, I'm sorry!"
"Your next game will be a little boring!"
As the referee's halftime whistle sounded, Shinomiya and all the Lingnan players returned to the rest area. Shinomiya Tōno smiled at Jinguji Budo and the others and said.
Although he played a game of more than 20 points, there was not much sweat on Shinomiya's face. It can be seen that the intensity of the game in the first half was not very high. Although the point difference between the two teams was quite large, Shinomiya still managed to There is still some energy left, but there is simply no exertion at all.
"Although I had expected it, I didn't expect that yours would actually establish such a big advantage."
"This way, we will indeed feel a lot more relaxed."
Jinguji Budo didn't pay attention. Although he had the intention to compete with Shinomiya Tanoh in his heart, the competition developed into this situation. Although he had the intention to compete, there was no point in competing.
In front of today's Kyoto representative team, what if they score 40 points in half? Pointless.
Coach Taoka is quite satisfied with the results achieved by the team at this stage. The people in Kyoto have been beaten out of energy. In the second half of the game, relying on the abilities of Jinguji Budo and others, they can definitely win easily.
After a game, the players' physical fitness will not be greatly exhausted, and it will not have any impact on tomorrow's game. It is very important for Coach Taoka that Kanagawa Prefecture can face other opponents with its strongest posture.
For the second half of the game, coach Taoka still did not make any arrangements. He just asked Mitsui Hisashi and others to play freely, without commenting on the technical and tactical aspects.
And just when Jinguji Budo and others were preparing to play, the referee of the competition came to Coach Taoka and whispered a few words in Coach Taoka's ear.
After Coach Tianoka sent the other party away with a smile, he waved to Hisashi Mitsui and Budo.
"Budo, Mitsui, in the second half of the game, you should be a little more restrained and don't push too hard."
"The referee just told us that Kyoto is ready to give up the game, but there are too many spectators in today's game. The organizing committee does not want Kyoto to give up the game at halftime."
"In order to avoid further damaging the self-confidence of the Kyoto players, you only need to ensure victory in the second half of the game. Don't let them lose too ugly."
Coach Taoka whispered in the ears of Mitsui Hisashi and Jinguji Budo. After hearing this, Mitsui Hisashi and Takedo were both stunned. Although such a thing could not be called "match-fixing", this was the first time they heard such a request.
Mitsui Shou nodded stupidly, and Martial Arts also spread his hands speechlessly to express understanding.
After instructing the two of them, Coach Taoka sighed softly, sat back on his seat, and patted Shinomiya Tano on the shoulder without saying anything else. When Shinomiya saw Coach Tagoka looking emotional, he didn't know what happened and was confused.
The halftime break passed very slowly for the Kanagawa Prefecture players, but for the Kyoto players, the time passed too fast. They just feel that their buttocks are not yet hot, and they are about to start suffering again.
And when they came on the field, they saw that Kanagawa Prefecture was actually five down and five up, and the terrifying Shinomiya Tano did not play.
Such a discovery made everyone in Kyoto breathe a sigh of relief, and the dead silence on their faces disappeared, and they all looked excited.
"Hey, hey, hey, are you treating us like soft persimmons?"
Miyagi Ryota noticed the emotions of the Kyoto team members, scratched his head, and said something strange.
"Looseen the defense and give them some game experience."
"On the offensive end, we focus on the mid-range and move a lot. In short, we must move our bodies first."
Mitsui Hisashi whispered to the team members. Coach Tianoka's words made him embarrassed to give blood to the players.
The players of both teams stood in the center circle again, and with the referee's whistle, the second half of the game officially began.
Takenori Akagi, who jumped the ball in the middle circle, had never received any advice from Coach Taoka. When it came to fighting for the jump ball, he went all out from the beginning. The basketball was successfully shot by him and flew straight towards Miyagi Ryota. . The latter caught the ball without any luck at all and passed it directly to Jinguji Budo.
Jinguji Budo, who easily got the basketball, was startled. For the first time, he felt that this guy Miyagi was so reliable.
Without saying a word, he passed the ball back to Miyagi Ryota.
Miyagi, who had just crossed the midline, was stunned when he saw the basketball coming. Then, he saw Jinguji Budo giving him an encouraging look. The next second, Jinguji Budo actually cut towards the inside. Got in.
Seeing this scene, Miyagi Ryota was also shocked. He quickly dribbled the ball close to the three-point line, and then shot directly against the defensive player's block.
In order to avoid the opponent's block, Miyagi shot very high this time, but the path of the ball was not ideal. The basketball fell, hit the edge of the basket, and fell to the side.
"Akagi, block it!"
Seeing the rebound, Jinguji Budo roared at Akagi, then quickly rushed to the basket, rushed for the rebound, and got the ball in his hands before everyone else. At this time, everyone in Kyoto quickly moved towards the inside, preparing to block the martial arts shot.
But the next second, Jinguji Budo turned around and threw the ball, and quickly passed it to Miyagi on the outside.
At this time, Miyagi was in a big vacancy.
Miyagi took the ball, adjusted his posture, and shot another three-pointer.
But this time, there was no accident, the basketball went directly into the net.
"Good job, Miyagi!"
"You're shooting well. If you shoot more in today's game, I'll pass the ball to you!"
Budao praised him, patted Miyagi on the shoulder and encouraged him on the way back to the defense. Although he said so, what Wu Dao was thinking in his heart was what Coach Tianoka said.
"With Miyagi's precision... I should be able to fulfill Coach Tagoka's instructions without revealing anything."
