Jinguji Budo scored consecutive goals, finally making the members of the white team aware of his threat. At this moment, the young people watching the football on the sidelines completely changed their original views on Jinguji Martial Arts.
No one will think that the yellow man who scored 8 points in just a few minutes and who can score difficult three-pointers under Stephen Jackson's defense is a rookie who can't play.
And as Jinguji Budo's three-pointer hit the net, Stephen Jackson's face finally showed a somewhat dignified look.
"That kid... is quite confident in his projection!"
"Except for the first shot, which was a layup, the remaining two shots were three-pointers."
"And just now...after his double crossover, there was already a slight flaw in my defense, but he still chose a three-pointer."
"From this point of view, when defending, you cannot be too far away from this guy. You must stay close to him and not give him a chance to shoot."
Stephen Jackson thought so in his heart, turned his head and said to his teammates:
“Change the defense, man to man.”
"I'm on guard against that yellow guy."
"Danny, pass the ball to me later!"
Stephen Jackson simply adjusted the team's defensive formation, and in the end, he did not forget to ask Danny for the ball. Stephen Jackson would not just swallow his breath after being slapped with a three-pointer by Jinguji Budo in front of his face.
Compared with European team basketball, American basketball belongs to the kind of star basketball. Especially in the 1990s, under the influence of Jordan, this basketball style even impressed campus basketball.
And tooth for tooth, eye for eye, this is what stars need to do.
Although Stephen Jackson has not yet entered the NBA, he is the leading player at Oak Hill College and the star of Oak Hill!
During the interaction between offense and defense, Danny quickly brought the ball to the frontcourt, and after entering the frontcourt, he quickly gave the ball to Stephen Jackson's hands as instructed.
"Stephen Jackson!"
"A person who can score 40+ points in the NBA at his peak, what level is he in high school?"
Jinguji Budo was not deeply impressed by Stephen Jackson playing in the NBA. He only knew a little information about him. He knew that he was a second-round pick in 1997, that he was with the Warriors when he was at his peak, and that he was a decent player. Qualified point guard and small forward, but nothing more.
Wu Dao is really not familiar with Stephen Jackson's playing style, but he still knows one thing. This Stephen Jackson has a basketball.
Stephen Jackson's road to the NBA was not smooth, and he did not create the myth of one man, one city. If you want to describe Stephen Jackson's career, I'm afraid it would be appropriate to use the word "displaced" to describe him.
Although Wu Dao is not very familiar with Stephen Jackson's style of play, it does not have much impact on his defense. Knowing that Stephen Jackson has three-pointers and baskets is enough.
When the basketball was passed to Stephen Jackson, Jinguji Budo immediately broke away from the zone defense system and moved his position close to the three-point line, freeing up the mid-range position behind him.
In this regard, Steven finally gave no more "defensive suggestions". Regarding Jinguji Budo who scored consecutive goals, Steven did not treat Budo as a fool who couldn't play like he did at the beginning.
On the court, everyone can always give freedom and tolerance to players who can score. On this point, I'm afraid Lao Zhan, who has been overlooked, has a say.
Jinguji Martial Arts was promoted very quickly. The moment Stephen Jackson took possession of the basketball, Martial Arts was already in front of him, with a distance of about 30cm between the two.
The martial arts center of gravity was very low, and his right hand was raised high, covering Stephen Jackson's face. It was obviously a defensive posture with a low center of gravity, but in the eyes of Stephen Jackson, defensive actions like martial arts were quite oppressive, which made him give up the idea of a sudden three-point counterattack.
Stephen Jackson lowered his center of gravity and held the ball with both hands. The basketball was only ten centimeters above the ground. He glanced at the footsteps of Wu Dao and then raised his head slightly. While observing other defensive players, he was also observing his own players.
Suddenly, Stephen Jackson half-turned after hitting the ball, and his back was pressed hard against Jinguji Budo's body. The huge force was directly poured into Budō's chest, causing Jinguji Budō on the defensive side to stop in his tracks. But he quickly completed the adjustment and stabilized his footing.
Stephen Jackson showed some surprise after a test. His strength is quite outstanding among high school players. There are few people in the same position who can stand so firmly under his strong attack. Oak Hill Academy itself is a leader in the country, and as Oak Hill's starting small forward, his ability can be ranked high in the entire high school basketball world.
But this yellow man who came from afar was not much weaker than him in strength, which surprised Stephen Jackson.
At his peak, Stephen Jackson's height reached 203cm and his weight was 100kg. Comparing horizontally to the peak Kobe Bryant at the same position, his height is 198cm and his weight is 93kg.
In high school, Stephen Jackson was 197cm tall and weighed 91kg. Jinguji Budo, who was opposite him, was also 196.3cm tall and weighed 88kg. Their physical fitness was at the same level and they did not form that level. A kind of discontinuous gap.
In the physical confrontation with Stephen Jackson, Wu Dao was not at a disadvantage.
Of course, an offensive test cannot be just a physical contact.
After Stephen Jackson felt the power of martial arts behind him, he decisively changed his offensive strategy. His steps sank, his body leaned back, and he made a back attack. However, the moment his body was about to come into contact with Jinguji martial arts, he took advantage of the situation and turned around. , directly facing the basket to break through.
If you don't have an advantage in strength, then use speed and explosive power to deal with the yellow man in front of you!
As a black man, Stephen Jackson has never lost to a player of other colors in these two events.
"Ohhh! Stephen Jackson has made a breakthrough!" Stephen Jackson's breakthrough quickly attracted cheers from the audience. At Oak Hill College, Stephen Jackson is not a big player, and he can be considered a star.
However, this exclamation only made one sound and ended abruptly.
On the court, Jinguji Budo immediately followed Stephen Jackson by sliding forward at the moment he turned around. Although he started later, he followed Stephen Jackson closely. The two of them were one behind the other, with only half a body length difference. .
"There is no getting rid of it! This yellow man's reactions and outbursts are very strong!"
Although he had already suspected it in his mind, Stephen Jackson was still a little surprised when he found out that he had not completely broken through Wu Dao's defense. From the first ball when Wu Dao dunked after taking the field, Stephen Jackson knew that Wu Dao's explosion would definitely be good, but now that he saw the opponent keeping up with his rhythm so easily, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
In this country, black people have always suffered discrimination from white people, but when it comes to sports, black people also discriminate against everyone else.
If the outburst does not overwhelm a black man, it is normal in Stephen Jackson's opinion, but if the outburst cannot overwhelm a yellow man, he will feel embarrassed if he tells it!
Stephen Jackson's speed did not slow down after his breakthrough. Under the pursuit and pressure of Jinguji Budo, he had no idea of changing his tactics. Instead, he increased his horsepower and rushed directly towards the inside. It looked like a red head. The blinded bull.
Seeing that Stephen Jackson was about to fall into the defensive pocket of blue team insider Carl Lewis and others, Jinguji Budo shrunk and suddenly slowed down.
Although Stephen Jackson behaves like a fool, can Stephen Jackson, who participated in the draft as a high school student and was selected in the second round, be a fool?
Sure enough, the next second the martial arts slowed down, Stephen Jackson suddenly stopped to close the ball in the middle distance. While bending his legs to release the force, he was also accumulating strength. The next moment he stopped the ball, Stephen Jackson ejected backwards. Take off, stop immediately and shoot a fadeaway jumper.
This sudden sudden stop caught everyone off guard, at least, that's what Stephen Jackson thought.
"Hmph!" Just when Stephen Jackson thought that his shot would be successful, a big hand suddenly blocked the spotlight above his head, and the shadow enveloped Stephen Jackson's cheek.
"What?!" At the moment when the basketball was about to be released, Jinguji Budo blocked the shot, and his right hand shouted aggressively towards the basketball in Stephen Jackson's hand.
However, Wu Dao's blocking was a beat too slow after all. Wu Dao's pursuit posture, being able to stop and block shots in the middle of the pursuit was already quite terrifying. His own jumping ability could not be fully utilized.
Wu Dao's fingertips touched the basketball, but the basketball still passed over Wu Dao's head and wiped the board into the net.
Seeing the basketball entering the net, Stephen Jackson, who had a false alarm, couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Jinguji Martial Arts with a smile. However, when he looked up, there was no shadow of Jinguji Martial Arts in front of him. Turning his head to look, he found that Jinguji Budo had already crossed the three-point line and ran quickly towards the frontcourt.
"It's a fast attack! Get back to defense quickly!"
Stephen Jackson shouted, but when he shouted this, the basketball had already flown over his head. Although Carl Lewis had some minor objections to Martial Arts, his ability to seize opportunities was quite strong. After sensing Martial Arts' intentions, he directly made a quick long pass.
The two of them played together for the first time, but they had a tacit understanding that no one expected.
Jinguji Budo crossed the midline, and the basketball fell not far in front of him. The white team returned to defense very quickly. The white team point guard Danny and another black guy reacted very quickly. Budo just crossed the three-point line. By the time, the two people who had the advantage of position were already running back to defend.
At this time, the two people quickly ran in front of the martial arts, blocking the Jinguji martial arts on the left and the right, deliberately suppressing the martial arts' speed, making it easier for the two to grab the ball and allowing other players to have enough reaction time.
The plan of the two Dannys was very good, but the martial arts of Jinguji Temple would not let their plans go as they wished.
As the basketball fell, Wu Dao had no intention of jumping to catch the ball. He accelerated directly and squeezed in between Danny and Danny. When the basketball fell, he relied on his height advantage to face the bottom of the ball a little forward and shoot the ball out. At the same time, Wu Dao directly relied on brute force to pass through the middle of the two opponents and quickly advance towards the front court.
As for Danny and the other two, they were forcefully squeezed by martial arts, and their speed also slowed down, and they lost their position instantly.
Close to the three-pointer, Wu Dao steadily controlled the ball in his hands, then attacked the basket with the ball and dunked directly to score.
One second ago, Stephen Jackson had just scored in a single with his personal ability. In less than 10 seconds, Jinguji Budo immediately responded. This counterattack came so quickly that everyone on the white team was a little unprepared.
As Jinguji Budo's personal score rose to 10 points, he had already relied on his own ability to establish an offensive position in this game.
As the game progressed, the battle between the blue team and the white team also became fierce, or in other words, the battle between Jinguji Budo and Stephen Jackson became fierce.
Steven is a traditional point guard. Although his breakthrough ability is not bad, his ability to attack the basket is average. His physical fitness limits his performance in the mid-range and near-basket positions, and he can only score with one long shot. The blue team's heavy offensive task rests entirely on Jinguji Martial Arts, and Martial Arts is happy to take over the offensive burden.
After all, he still needs to participate in the team's subsequent games.
As the schedule developed, the competition became a show between Jinguji Budo and Stephen Jackson.
Stephen Jackson's ability is indeed quite good, and his height is similar to that of Jinguji Martial Arts, but Jinguji Martial Arts' offensive methods are too rich, whether it is shooting or mid-to-low footwork, these make Stephen Jackson Jackson had a severe headache.
This is the first time he has encountered a player like Jinguji Budo. Many times, there are obvious opportunities to break through, but Budo still chooses to shoot. Leaving aside the technical aspects, Budo's offensive selection and shooting timing are what make Stephen... Jackson was least used to it.
He is obviously a small forward of nearly two meters, but his playing is very floating. He obviously gives people a feeling of instability and waves, but his score increases rapidly as the game progresses.
If Stephen Jackson often plays against Wu Dao and knows Wu Dao's playing habits, then he still has the opportunity to limit Wu Dao's performance when defending. However, Stephen Jackson has been playing for so long, and this is the first time he has encountered a player like Wu Dao. .
With 3 minutes left before the end of the game, the score between the two teams reached 87:88. Jinguji Budo’s personal data also reached 36 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, 1 steal, and 2 turnovers. , 2 fouls.
Stephen Jackson, who faced Budo, scored 28 points and 11 rebounds, which was slightly lower than Jinguji Budo.
But the blue team where Martial Arts belongs is still one point behind.
Regarding this situation, Jinguji Budo is still a little dissatisfied. The intensity of the competition here is not comparable to the competition in Kanagawa. His original goal was 50 points, but now, reaching 40 points is probably the limit.
But coach Steve Smith on the sidelines was quite satisfied with Jinguji Martial Arts’ performance. It was his first time logging onto a high school court in the United States, and he actually performed at this level against their Oak Hill Academy players. Something Steve Smith didn't expect.
His mental expectation for Jinguji Budo to "perform well" is to score 10+ points, make less than 5 turnovers, have four or five assists, and get three or four rebounds.
He expects nothing more than good players.
The performance of martial arts also gave him a big surprise.
"Wu...this kid, I really saw him right. In just a few minutes, he actually adapted to the intensity of the game so quickly."
"I originally thought he would need some time to adapt, but I didn't expect..."
"On the field, this kid was able to suppress Stephen Jackson. It's really amazing!"
"When he comes to our Oak Hill, it's really like a dragon crossing the river. If he is properly cultivated within the team, he should be able to attract the attention of the league soon."
"It's really surprising that Asia can produce such players!"
"What a pity...the exchange student period is only half a year..."
