The buckle of Jinguji Martial Arts made the venue completely excited. Everyone's eyes were focused on Jinguji Martial Arts. Even Mitsui Hisashi, who had just finished the game, looked at Jinguji Martial Arts in shock and couldn't believe it. Such a ball was actually played by Jinguji Martial Arts.
In Mitsui Hisashi's impression, Jinguji Budo's style of play and ball path are not like this. If it were him in the past, facing this kind of two-person pursuit, it would be dangerous to stop for a three-pointer when approaching the three-point line. Possibly, it is possible to throw while walking close to the basket, but this kind of fierce two-handed dunk is not at all the offensive method chosen by the previous Budokai.
"..."
"This kid... During this period of time and field bullfighting, his playing style has been somewhat affected."
"He was already a very difficult boy to deal with, but now..."
Coach Taoka has been paying attention to Shinomiya's growth during the training period, and he has also noticed the progress of Jinguji's martial arts. After such a long period of high-intensity bullfighting, Jinguji Martial Arts absorbed the advantages of Shinomiya Tanano, and his strength became stronger and stronger.
In the stadium, Jinguji Budo had returned to defend, and the people in Akita Prefecture quickly came to their senses after a brief shock.
Matsumoto Minoru served from the bottom line, and Sawabita Eiji temporarily acted as a defender, advancing with the ball. Fukatsu Kazunari went to the midline to meet Sawukita Eiji. The latter passed the ball to Fukatsu and quickly came to Jinguji Martial Arts. In front of him, staring at the face of Jinguji Martial Arts, he suddenly said seriously:
"We in Akita Prefecture... no, our Sanno Industries, of course, cannot have that little strength!"
"I have decided that I will completely defeat you in this game!"
The look on Eiji's face was extremely serious. Anyone who knew him well knew that Eiji had really become serious.
"With your mouth?"
Jinguji Budo's eyes were not on Zebita Eiji at this time. He was looking at Fukatsu Kazunari, who was approaching the three-point line with the ball. Upon hearing this, Budo just glanced at the opponent casually and asked indifferently. .
Zebei, who choked, had no intention of continuing. He knew that the dignity lost on the court could only be regained on the court.
Sawabita Eiji took a deep look at Miyadera Budō, then quickly pulled away from Budō and ran towards Fukatsu Kazunari. Judging from his appearance, he probably wanted to get the ball.
Although most of Budo's attention was focused on Kazunari Fukatsu, he was still paying attention to the movements of Eiji Sawabita at all times. As soon as Eiji Zekita left, Jinguji Budo immediately stepped up to catch up. Wu Dao had no idea of going around to stop Zebei from getting the ball. He simply followed Zebei so that he could defend in time when the opponent got the ball.
Kazunari Fukatsu, who was at the top of the arc, watched Zebei aggressively run towards him. He also turned to one side, protecting the basketball and waiting for Eiji Zebei to arrive. After Eiji Zebita approached, Kazunari Fukatsu quickly took action. He handed the ball to Zebei, and while using his back to hold Mu Shenyi up to prevent the opponent from stealing or chasing him, he quickly turned around and passed Mu Shenyi and cut into the inside line.
And at the moment when Eiji Sawabita received the ball, Jinguji Budo had already circled into the three-point line in advance, ignoring Kazunari Fukatsu who cut inside, and instead looked at the ball outside the three-point line at this time. Eiji Sawabita.
Mu Shenyi was thinking about changing defense with Jinguji Budo. After all, the best way to break this kind of pick-and-roll is of course to change defense. However, when he was defending, he deliberately turned his head and glanced at Fukatsu Kazunari's position. When he saw Budo standing Not far behind him, he didn't chase Kazunari Fukatsu. He immediately understood the meaning of martial arts, let go of Zebei decisively, and chased towards the inside.
Fortunately, Jinguji Budo's positioning is quite tricky. Even though Fukatsu was put in, if Sawehita wanted to pass the ball to Fukatsu Kazunari, who was downhill, he would be able to steal it, and Sawehita Eiji obviously didn't. The idea of shooting a three-pointer is to stand outside the three-point line with the ball and do not make any movements for the first time.
Suddenly, Zebei, who was catching the ball, grabbed the ball with his right hand, stretched out his left hand, and hooked his fingers towards Jinguji Budo, and then dropped the ball, waiting for Jinguji Budo to come forward.
"What?! That bald guy from Akita Prefecture is actually provoking Jinguji Martial Arts?!"
"This bastard, who does he think he is? How dare you provoke him? He was obviously detained just now, where does this guy have the face?"
"Damn it! Jinguji Martial Arts, show this guy some color and let him know how powerful our Kanagawa is!"
Sawabita Eiji's provocative action immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of Kanagawa fans. Some of the more grumpy people stood up from their seats and cursed angrily towards the field.
At the center of the incident, Eiji Sawabita had a faint smile on his face. He seemed to be very satisfied with the effect he had created. His idea was also very simple. He just wanted to defeat Jinguji Budo head-on, and his provocative actions were just for the sake of defeating Jinguji Budo. Block the retreat of Jinguji Martial Arts to prevent him from escaping.
】
But Zebei didn't seem to have thought that facing him, Jinguji Martial Arts would have no idea of escaping. His provocative actions would probably have no other effect besides making Jinguji Martial Arts more serious. .
"How brave!"
"Since you are eager to seek death, I won't be polite to you!"
Martial Arts murmured in his heart, and immediately left his original position and walked towards Zebei. The new progress of Martial Arts was not fast, every step was very solid, and his focus was not even very high. Zebei Eiji originally wanted to take advantage of the advancement of Martial Arts. This sudden thrust in front of him was a direct force, and when he saw the martial arts' marching posture, he immediately gave up the idea.
Waiting for Jinguji Budo to come to him, Zebita Eiji lowered his focus. While dribbling in front of his body, he swayed slightly and tested Jinguji Budo's defensive tendency.
But what surprised Sawabita Eiji was that his dribbling posture was obviously mixed with feints and tests, but Jinguji Budo who defended him was calm and focused, and his footsteps did not move with his feints at all.
This kind of defense made Eiji Zebita feel like he was beating a newbie, but strangely, this "newbie" exuded a terrifying aura.
"This guy... saw through my pretense?"
"But...how is this possible? My feints can be turned into attacks in an instant. How could he see through it?"
"Anyway, let's check it out first!"
Zebei Eiji felt a lot of pressure from Jinguji Martial Arts. After dribbling on the spot for a few seconds, Zebei didn't want to waste any more. His dribbling body suddenly stopped, and he stretched out his arms to dribble in a suspended manner. At the same time, he took a posture ready to break through to the left side of Jinguji Martial Arts.
However, his posture had just changed. Jinguji Martial Arts, who had been standing about 30 centimeters away from him, suddenly started to move. With one lunge, his face was in front of Eiji Sawabita. At the same time, he stretched out his arms and suddenly It hit the ball stuck to Zebei's right hand.
"Pop!" There was a soft sound, and the figure of Martial Arts flashed past Eiji Zebei's eyes, picked up the dropped basketball and rushed towards the frontcourt. As Jinguji Budo succeeded in stealing the ball, the audience burst into amazing cheers.
Jinguji Budo, who stole the ball in the backcourt, was quite close to the midline.
After completing the steal, Jinguji Budo quickly crossed the center line in just a few big steps and headed towards Akita Prefecture's basket. At the same time, Akita Prefecture's Fukatsu Kazunari and others were too deep due to their position. Guan Guan was not able to return to defense immediately, and the only one who could pursue Jinguji Martial Arts was Eiji Sawabita.
Eiji Sawabita's running speed without the ball is not slow. When Budo approached the three-point line, he had already come behind Budo. Jinguji Budo also deliberately slowed down after noticing the opponent's pursuit. With his footsteps, when he reached the free throw line, Zebei surpassed Wu Dao and tried to get in front of Wu Dao.
Although Budo was thinking of hitting another forceful hit on the head of Eiji Zebita, seeing that Zebei was going to go around, Budo quickly put the ball over his head and swung the ball in the direction of Eiji with both arms. , but the steps were a step across, avoiding Eiji Zebei.
Seeing the basketball coming in front of him, Zebei couldn't help but want to steal the ball, but the moment he stopped and stretched out his hand to grab it, the basketball was taken away from him. At the same time, , Jinguji Budo completely left him behind, got to the basket and sent the ball into the net with a "little man layup".
A simple European step easily opened up Zebei and completed the scoring.
The audience watching the game had no way of understanding what Zebei felt like on the defensive side. They just felt that Jinguji's martial arts was too easy, and Zebei who was blocked gave people a sense of clumsiness. In the eyes of the audience, they only saw Budo holding the ball, and Zebei stood still. Jinguji Budo passed his opponent without any effort at all.
Such a goal, combined with the previous provocation by Eiji Sawabita, directly excited the audience in Kanagawa Prefecture. This slap in the face went so fast. Before the anger of the audience in Kanagawa Prefecture had reached its peak, Jinguji Martial Arts was already on the field training Zehoku.
"Continuous scoring... this Jinguji martial arts... to the end..."
On the sidelines, Goro Domoto, who was still sitting in his seat, could no longer sit still. In this game with Kanagawa Prefecture, Goro Domoto had forgotten how many times he had stood up.
"How long has he been on the court? He has already scored six points, and he has blocked shots and steals. Zebei... was completely suppressed by this guy!"
Although Goro Domoto had a psychological expectation for the situation after Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tanano came on the field, he did not expect that the team would lose points so quickly. Not long after Kanagawa Prefecture made the substitution, Kanagawa was already chasing them. That's a lot of points,
That advantage that was originally up to 10 points is now...
"Should we call a timeout... But calling a timeout now is of little use."
"Kanagawa Prefecture's offensive tendency is actually not clear, and the level of Jinguji Martial Arts' personal strength has not yet been clearly seen."
"Better...wait a little longer."
Domoto Goro looked at the two-point difference that had been chased. After hesitating on the sidelines for a long time, he silently returned to his seat and sat down.
However, even though he returned to his seat, Goro Domoto's posture when watching the game was completely different from before. His body leaned forward slightly, his chin resting on his hands, and there was a deep worry between his eyebrows.
On the court, Fukatsu Kazunari was obviously aware of Sawabita Eiji's matchup disadvantage. Having been blocked, dunked, and intercepted by Jinguji Budo before and after, Sawabita Eiji found it difficult to resist an opponent of Jinguji Budo's caliber.
"Zebei, you can't just admit defeat like this!"
"Jinguji Martial Arts, you must cross over no matter what!"
Goro Domoto looked at Eiji Sawabita in the field and prayed secretly in his heart.
Kazunari Fukatsu, who was on the court, realized that Sawehita was at a disadvantage and did not want to continue trying Sawehita Eiji. He made a pick-and-roll gesture toward Masashi Kawada on the inside, and then lowered his waist to make a breakthrough.
Kawada saw the message from his teammates and prepared to pick and roll, but when he just reached the free throw line, Fukatsu Kazunari, who was trying to break through, hit the ball and quickly passed the ball.
His pass was accurate. After the basketball hit the ground, it accurately bounced into the hands of Masashi Kawada who was running forward. As the basketball started, Masashi Kawada also noticed Fukatsu's intention. Holding the ball with both hands, he quickly faced the frame, and just as he turned around to face the frame, Takenori Akagi had already run in front of him.
Seeing Akagi chasing after him, Masashi Kawada took the ball and made a mid-range pull-up jumper directly in front of Akagi.
Kawada Masashi has comprehensive skills, long shooting range and fast breakthrough speed. Takenori Akagi has suffered a loss. He thought the opponent was a fake move, but unexpectedly Kawada Masashi directly took the shot. By the time he confirmed that Kawada was going to shoot, his defense was already too late. .
The basketball hits the board at an angle and into the net.
This is the first time Akita Prefecture has successfully scored since Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tano came on the field.
Kawada Masashi's goal also made Goro Domoto breathe a sigh of relief on the sidelines, but he still couldn't put his heart back. Goro Domoto knew very well that the current situation was only temporary. If Eiji Sawabita was killed by Jingu Temple Budo was defeated, and it was difficult to maintain the existing advantage relying on Masashi Kawada's attack.
Offensive and defensive transition.
Makoto caught the ball in the backcourt and quickly pushed the ball towards the frontcourt. With Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tanano coming on the field, the speed of the entire Kanagawa Prefecture representative team was different from before. Shinichi needs to match the movement speed of Akagi and Hanagata.
But now, as long as Shinomiya enters the inside line, Mu Shenyi dares to speed up and speed up the team's offensive rhythm.
On the offensive end, Maki Shinichi's choice was also very clear. After Jinguji Budo came on the field, he showed overwhelming strength in the matchup. Taking this opportunity to catch Eiji Sawabita, he was their best offensive player in Kanagawa Prefecture. Excellent solution.
As soon as Mu Shen entered the frontcourt, the basketball was handed to Jinguji Budo early.
Jinguji Budo, who frequently gets the ball, is not nervous or embarrassed at all. He has a very calm attitude when receiving the ball. He has long been accustomed to playing on the court as the core of the ball.
When Jinguji Budo received the ball, he was nearly two meters away from the three-point line. Budo took the ball, raised the ball and feinted, and the next second, he lowered his waist and took a sideways step to test the ball.
Sawabita Eiji felt that it was impossible for Jinguji Budo to shoot a three-pointer from this position, and completely ignored Budo's shooting feint, but he had a great reaction to Budo's tentative steps. Sawabita Eiji had just sunk into the center to follow up with a side step, but Jinguji Budo collected the ball and shot directly from this position.
"What?!"
Zebita Eiji reacted belatedly, let out a low cry, and turned his head to look at the basket in disbelief.
Under his gaze, the basketball flew over the heads of everyone under the basket and then accurately fell into the net.
"What...what!"
When the basketball hit the net, not only Sawabei was stunned, but Masashi Kawada and Masahiro Nobe under the basket also had dull faces. Even Goro Domoto on the sidelines stood up from his seat without knowing it and stared blankly. watching this scene.
Shinomiya, who was under the basket, also raised his eyebrows. Although he was not as surprised as those in Akita County, it could be seen that as a teammate, he did not expect Budo's ultra-long three-pointer.
"Beat me, can you really do it?"
"Young man, don't be too arrogant!"
Budo dropped a word and started to defend himself. He didn't pay attention to Eiji Sawabei at all. Shinomiya Tano was stunned when he saw this cool and unrestrained posture.
He felt that he was already very impressive at playing, but he never expected that someone was braver than him. At least, he would never shoot such a long three-pointer.
The style of Jinguji Martial Arts is too rough and out of tune with this era.
The audience in Kanagawa Prefecture seemed to be beginning to feel the charm of basketball like Jinguji Budo, and cheers like a tsunami rang out in the stands.
