In the first game of Jinguji Budo in the United States, the performance made coach Steve Smith extremely satisfied. Although the game is not over at this stage, in the heart of coach Steve Smith, Jinguji Budo has been regarded as Become the first choice of the team.
In the state competition in the next few months, he plans to add Budo to the team's 11-man roster so that Jinguji Budo can show his strength on a larger stage. At the same time, based on the playing characteristics of Jinguji Budo in the competition, coach Steve Smith is also thinking about a training plan based on the individual martial arts situation.
After watching almost the whole game, Steve Smith found that Jinguji Budo’s shooting and mid-low footwork were excellent, much better than the rough guys in the low post in the team, and his smart and elegant style of play was also quite enjoyable to watch. Sexy, explosive and fast, he is a scorer with comprehensive skills.
The biggest problem is that sometimes the shot selection is a bit poor.
Some of those unreasonable shots resulted in goals, but many failed to score. Most of those unreasonable shots affected the actual hit rate of Jinguji Martial Arts.
Coach Steve Smith currently simply believes that Jinguji Martial Arts wants to perform on the court, so it makes so many unreasonable moves. He just secretly remembers this characteristic of Jinguji Martial Arts, but There was no rush to correct it.
After all, this is in the United States, and Jinguji Budo is far from the only one who has this kind of playing characteristic. Even coach Steve Smith feels that the characteristics of martial arts are quite "American" and not at all like players trained in Asia.
"Quick in speed, strong in breakthroughs, flexible in the mid-to-low post, and generally very accurate in shooting."
"This guy is really quite comprehensive. So far, he has no obvious shortcomings."
"The training center in the next period will continue to strengthen these characteristics of his, increase weight appropriately without affecting flexibility, and strengthen confrontation."
"The competition at the high school level is not considered strong, but if we want to compete in higher-level competitions, we must not let the competition slip behind."
"Use high-intensity competitions to quickly adapt to the competition of American basketball, strengthen basic training, and ensure physical health. That should be enough..."
Coach Steve Smith began to plan the future training direction of Jinguji Martial Arts. At the same time, the attention did not take away from the field.
In the middle of the court, it is the blue team that has the ball.
Steven immediately gave the ball to Jinguji Budo after entering the frontcourt. While releasing the ball, he quickly moved towards Budo, preparing for a pick-and-roll.
Carl Lewis, the insider of the blue team, also quickly moved up when he saw this. He was actually preparing to cooperate with Steven to provide a two-way cover for Wu Dao.
Although Wu Dao only played with the members of the blue team for a few dozen minutes, he had already proved his worth by scoring. Now at the last moment of the game, these people have now put the mess behind them. , everything they do on the court now is just for victory!
Two-way pick-and-roll!
Wu Dao had already noticed Steven and Carl Lewis when they came forward. He swung his body and took the ball directly along the three-point arc towards the top of the arc. Stephen Jackson on the defensive side quickly squeezed in. In front of Steven, he went around and broke his pick-and-roll, and followed Jinguji Budo.
However, Stephen Jackson had just arrived in front of Martial Arts, and Jinguji Martial Arts immediately started to rush forward, quickly lowered his body, and broke through to the inside.
Stephen Jackson turned around and wanted to pursue him, but a "wall" stood directly in front of him, blocking his way.
"Fuck!" Stephen Jackson looked at Carl Lewis in front of him and cursed. Then he saw Jinguji Budo cut into the inside, held up the center of their team, pulled the lever, and sent the ball into the basket.
Facing the white team's two-meter-long center, Jinguji Budo was not weak at all. With his bounce and staying in the air, his offense after cutting into the basket was as easy as drinking water.
The score reached 89:88, and the blue team took the lead.
"Well done, Takeru!"
Seeing the go-ahead score, Steven seemed very excited and high-fived Wu Dao to celebrate. Although Carl Lewis was not as enthusiastic as Steven, when he saw Wu Dao score, his dark face also had a smile.
On the bench on the sidelines, a group of white boys cheered loudly, while on the other side, a group of black boys cheered crazily for the white team of Stephen Jackson and Danny.
The substitute players of the same team were divided into two camps with distinct positions based on their skin color.
The students watching the football did not have so many twists and turns. The performance of martial arts had already conquered these young people. When Jinguji Martial Arts scored a goal, they cheered. There were even bold girls watching the martial arts. When he was on the sidelines, he raised eyebrows.
Not long after the blue team scored, the white team quickly launched a counterattack. The members of the white team are all black players, and the inside strength is actually much stronger than that of the blue team. Carl Lewis alone cannot actually cover the basket.
The white guy named George who returned to the court was very weak and couldn't play power forward at all. The blue team was actually a lineup of 1 big and 4 small.
Of course, Wu Dao can also be regarded as a big player on this court, but he is restrained by Stephen Jackson and cannot enter the inside. The only option is to let Carl Lewis mark one to two at the basket, and such a defensive formation obviously cannot stop the white team's attack.
Stephen Jackson received the ball from the three-point line. While dropping the ball, he dragged his steps to test Budo's defensive position. After two back and forth attempts, he saw that Budo's defense did not show any obvious flaws. He directly held the ball and charged forward, his body directly pressing against Jinguji Budo's defense. At the same time, Stephen Jackson's inside teammates quickly left the basket, dragging George's defense to stand near the basket on the side of the baseline.
Carl Lewis knew that George couldn't withstand the forward player who left the inside, but he did not leave the basket. After all, there was another person under the basket who needed him to defend.
Stephen Jackson relied on physical confrontation to successfully create some gaps, and then quickly passed the ball to his teammates on the baseline. Then he changed direction without the ball, quickly passed Wu Dao, cut into the inside, and involved Wu Dao and Karl at the same time. ·Lewis’ attention.
The power forward of the blue team caught the ball in front of the baseline, dropped the ball directly and hit it with his back. Then he turned around and threw a high ball, easily sending the ball into the basket.
This series of actions also shows exquisite inside steps, soft touch and excellent strength. This level of strength surpasses many strikers in Kanagawa Prefecture.
Budo knew very well that Kanagawa Prefecture, neither Akagi nor Uozumi, nor Hanagata or Takasago, could seek benefits from the blue team player.
Every player playing on the field now is top-notch in Kanagawa. Even Steven, who is not very strong in offensive ability, has better vision, speed and control of passing timing than Fujima and Miyagi. , maybe only Amu can compare.
As the blue team scored, the score reached 89:90.
In the next more than two minutes, the offensive rhythm of the white team and the blue team slowed down, striving to grasp every attack.
The two players leading the offense of the two teams are Jinguji Budo and Stephen Jackson, and both of them are also very capable of key goals. Near the end of the game, both of them have sufficient physical fitness and their performance has become more stable. .
Time is also running out quickly in the rotation of offense and defense. If everyone normally scored two points, then the white team would probably win this game. However, the reality is that in the last few attacks, Jinguji Budo did not score two points at all, but wanted the ball to hit three. .
It was one goal for you and one goal for me, but Wu Dao scored three three-pointers at the last moment, completely establishing the blue team's victory.
98:96. As the referee's whistle sounded, the scores of the two teams were fixed at this value.
In the end, Wu Dao was unable to achieve the small goal of 50 points set before. After the whole game, he scored 47 points. And his debut on the Oak Hill College court stunned everyone in Oak Hill.
Yellow storm.
After a simple warm-up match within the team, Jinguji Budo was given such a name, and with a terrifying record of 47 points in a single game, it became extremely easy for Budo to integrate into the team.
The United States is indeed an xenophobic country. It is true that it discriminates against black people and yellow people. This kind of thing is not uncommon.
But in the sport of basketball, both the players and the audience are all strong, and strength is the best ticket to Jinguji Martial Arts!
Relying on strength, Wu Dao officially gained a foothold in the team.
...
The night is dark.
The dormitory of Oak Hill College is quite remote. Outside, it is peaceful and quiet, and the stars in the sky are twinkling.
Jinguji Budo was lying on the bed in his new dormitory, listening to the complaints of his roommate Steven.
"Lily, she is not with me after all."
"Wu...why, I obviously like her so much, I'm obviously so good to her, why doesn't she choose me!"
In the dark dormitory, starlight surrounded the moonlight, spreading into the room and illuminating the desk in front of the window. In the darkness, Steven curled up on the bed with his pillow in his arms, staring blankly at the scenery in front of the window sill.
After the practice match, Wu Dao and Steven became friends. From his mouth, Wu Dao also learned that there were other stories behind this game.
To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than the cliched love entanglement between adolescent boys and girls.
The girl Steven liked was called Lily, and she became Danny's girlfriend. However, Danny was not a sweetheart either. While he was dating Lily, there were several other girls out there. Lily didn't know about these, but at the same time, Steven, who is a teammate of the team, listens to Danny show off every day in the team, how could he not know this.
Steven and Lily were considered to be throwing dirty water when they talked about Danny's situation.
Reality is often magical and bloody.
Steven, who couldn't bear to see Lily jump into the trap, wanted to solve it as a player. However, he also knew that he was no match for Danny in a one-on-one. The two were both point guards, but with completely different styles. Considering his disadvantage, Steven proposed a 5v5 ball game. If he led the team to win, Danny would take the initiative to break up with Lily.
Just like "girls help girls" promoted by some people, "white help white" and "black help black" are also popular in the United States.
The teammates Steven hired were all white, and the teammates Danny hired were all black. It's just that on the Oak Hill basketball team, the black players are far stronger than the white players. Therefore, Steven humbly begged Carl Lewis and others and successfully roped him into the team.
But on the court, people like Carl Lewis still helped Danny and did not let him play. In other words, they did not want to be excluded by the black group. If they help Steven play the game with all their heart, I am afraid there will be no black people in the team in the future. Friends now.
Normally, there is no way Steven could win.
But the emergence of Jinguji Martial Arts changed things for the better. After being ridiculed by Wu Dao, in order to protect the honor of Oak Hill College, how could Carl Lewis and others have the time to care about rejection or not?
Everyone's attention was shifted to him because of the arrival of Jinguji Martial Arts, and few people cared about the entanglement between Danny and Steven.
The result of the game also surprised Steven. The attack around Jinguji Martial Arts actually succeeded in overpowering his opponent and won the game.
But after the game, when he approached Danny...
"Adolescent boys are really... so naive that it makes people feel distressed!"
Wu Dao was lying on the bed, looking up at the starry sky, listening to Steven's complaints and crying, thinking so in his heart.
He didn't try to persuade Steven, and he couldn't offer anyone's experience. Although the two of them could be considered friends, it was a big taboo for them to talk to each other even though they were superficial. As a listener, Wu Dao could scold Danny a few words according to Steven's mood from time to time, which was his greatest use as a friend.
Starting today, Jinguji Martial Arts has officially opened a new chapter in his career in the United States!
Just listen to this gossip thing.
...
Just as Jinguji Budo opened a new chapter in his career in the United States, Hanamichi Sakuragi, who was far away in Kanagawa, also ushered in a new stage of his basketball career.
On this day, Coach Anzai left Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi alone after the team's daily training.
Since Jinguji Martial Arts came to the United States, Coach Anzai has rarely come to the team. The team's training tasks are all arranged by Hisashi Mitsui.
Coach Anxi comes three or four times a week and occasionally adjusts some team training plans. Most of the time, he sits quietly on the sidelines, either watching the players train or looking at the sky outside the window in trance, not knowing what he is thinking. .
And today, one month after Wu Dao left.
Coach Anzai’s friends overseas passed him news about Jinguji Martial Arts.
Oak Hill High School in the United States has produced an ace player known as the "Yellow Storm". In more than a month since he emerged from the "Yellow Storm", he averaged 33.4 points per game in warm-up matches with other colleges in Virginia. A record of points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists.
Moreover, the player known as the "Yellow Storm" is adapting to the game at a terrifying speed, and his personal data is also on the rise.
That strong posture has attracted the attention of many NCAA colleges and universities. ESPN in the United States has also noticed the existence of the "Yellow Storm". Relevant personnel revealed that if the "Yellow Storm" continues to maintain this posture, there will be dozens more After the game, he will be included in ESPN's top 100 high school students in the United States.
The predicted pick is No. 91, a four-star high school student.
If the "Yellow Storm"'s scoring data is maintained as the games accumulate, and rebounds, assists and other data increase, it will be possible to hit the position of the No. 1 high school student in the United States.
Coach Anxi was extremely excited after learning the news this morning. During the training session of the Xiangbei team today, Coach Anxi also changed from his normal routine. While sitting on the sidelines watching the game, he corrected some players' problems from time to time.
After the game, coach Anzai kept Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Coach Anzai also saw "possibility" in Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi. His heart was already agitated. He was tired of retirement life.
"Dad, what are you doing here as a genius? What's the matter?"
After the rest of Shohoku people left the gym one after another, Sakuragi Hanamichi walked to Coach Anzai's side, dragged Coach Anzai's chin with one hand, and asked coquettishly.
"Hoo ho ho."
Coach Anxi was not angry at Sakuragi's outrageous behavior. After smiling, he straightened his expression and said:
"Sakura, of course I have something to keep you here."
"You...and Rukawa Kaede, do you want to become stronger?"
