The one-on-one bullfighting duel between Kiyota Nobunaga and Oda Ryumasa added a touch of color to the first day of school for Shohoku students.
In the arena, except for the half court where Kiyota Nobunaga and Oda Ryumasa were sitting, the rest of the area was occupied by students watching the excitement. Even the few viewing corridors on the second floor were crowded at this time. people.
Although Kiyota Nobunaga and Oda Ryumasa are not well-known in Shohoku, there is no point in watching the excitement based on reputation.
Jinguji Budo silently followed the students heading to the arena. It was still early when he arrived at the arena. Although he was not in the front row, he could still see clearly what was going on in the arena with his height.
Many people from the Shohoku basketball team were also present. In addition to Mitsui Hisashi who was the first to open the door, Sakuragi Hanamichi, Haruko, and Rukawa Kaede were also present.
After all, it was Kiyota Nobunaga, his teammate, who wanted to duel with others. Even Rukawa Kaede, who had the coldest temperament, couldn't help but be a little curious about his opponent. It's just that he arrived late, so he could only see the situation on the court by going to the second floor.
"We don't need a referee anymore. If I commit a foul, you can just tell me!"
"I'm not afraid of you cheating, because I won't let you have many chances to attack!"
"One-on-one, no rebounds, the team that scores can continue to attack until it fails."
"Do you have any more questions?"
As Kiyota Nobunaga spoke, he took out a basketball from his backpack, then threw the bag away and looked at Oda Ryumasa. Oda Ryumasa nodded slightly when he heard this. Although he played less bullfighting when he was in Wako Middle School, he was also exposed to it. There are no big problems with the rules proposed by Kiyota Nobunaga.
"Okay! Let's get started."
"Don't say I won't give you a chance and let you attack first!"
As Kiyota Nobunaga spoke, he threw the ball to Oda Ryumasa with a confident smile on his face. Seeing this scene, Hisashi Mitsui on the sidelines couldn't help covering his head and shaking his head. He didn't quite approve of Nobunaga Kiyota's approach.
If someone is taller than you, if his strength is not bad, he may be able to score ten or twenty points with this offensive opportunity. During offense and defense, Kiyota on the defensive side will also consume a huge amount of physical energy. When the ball is given to Nobunaga Kiyota, part of his physical energy will be consumed, and the offensive efficiency will definitely decrease.
In this kind of 100% battle, if you lose the initiative, the impact will still be huge.
Unless one of the parties has overwhelming strength, in this case, the gap between who comes first and who comes first is not that big.
It was the first time for Kiyota Nobunaga to fight against the opponent. It was not a good habit to be so trusting. But then again, the few special recruits they recruited in Xiangbei this year are each more arrogant than the last. Among these people, Kiyota Nobunaga's character is actually quite good...
Oda Ryumasa frowned when he started playing basketball. The opponent's giving-and-take approach made him feel that he was being underestimated.
"Take a free throw, I don't want to take advantage of you."
"Ten goals, the one who scores more kicks off."
After saying that, Oda Ryumasa didn't wait for Kiyota Nobunaga to say anything, and walked to the free throw line. Seeing this, Kiyota Nobunaga thought for a moment and swallowed back his sarcastic words. This approach is quite upright, and Qingtian is too embarrassed to make fun of it.
"You punish me." Nobunaga Kiyota walked to the basket silently. The originally tense atmosphere between the two people has now eased a bit.
"Uh-huh!"
Not long after Kiyota Nobunaga finished speaking, Oda Ryumasa dribbled the ball on the spot, raised his hand and threw the ball, and the basketball hit the net.
"Well...it feels very soft, not bad."
Oda Ryumasa's free throw was quite safe, and the basketball hit the net accurately without any sloppiness. Seeing this scene, Mitsui Hisashi nodded slightly and secretly memorized Oda Ryumasa's appearance.
After the first ball, Oda Ryumasa's free throw speed became a little faster, and only the sound of "swish, swish, swish" was heard in the stadium. Of the ten free throws, Oda Ryumasa actually scored 9 of them steadily, with a very good shooting rate.
When Nobunaga Kiyota, who was picking up the ball for Oda Ryumasa under the basket, saw this scene, his eyelids jumped and he shouted in his heart that it was terrible.
Kiyota Nobunaga... is actually not good at free throws... nine out of ten, even if he trains normally, he rarely achieves such results...
"This guy's free throws are really accurate, he's outstanding!"
"Now we have to see how that young man performs. It feels like it's not easy to exceed such results."
Oda Ryumasa also breathed a sigh of relief after finishing the free throw. He was very satisfied with his results, and then looked at Kiyota Nobunaga. The pressure was on Kiyota Nobunaga. Under the gaze of the people around him, Kiyota Nobunaga bravely stood on the free throw line, acting quite nervous.
Taking possession of the basketball, Kiyota Nobunaga dribbled in place for a long time, then looked at the basket and threw the ball.
"Dang~" A clear sound of striking iron sounded, and the basketball bounced out.
"Hahahahaha! Wild monkey, you can't do it!"
"Stop being embarrassed and let Xiaoda tee off!"
Kiyota Nobunaga hit the iron directly on the first ball, which made Sakuragi Hanamichi who was watching the game burst into laughter and shouted towards Kiyota Nobunaga. Sakuragi on the sidelines had long recognized that the person dueling with Kiyota Nobunaga was his classmate at Wako Middle School. Because of his early acquaintance with Haruko, Sakuragi Hanamichi did not have much entanglement with Ye Zi and Oda Ryuumasa.
Sakuragi knew that Oda Ryumasa was the captain of the basketball team of Wako Middle School, but at that time he was already officially practicing in Shohoku and was not familiar with Oda Ryumasa. Although I don’t know why Kiyota Nobunaga wanted to duel with Oda Ryumasa, but seeing Kiyota Nobunaga making a fool of himself at this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi was also very happy to see such a scene.
"Red-haired monkey?!"
"You bastard, shut up."
"I still have so many free throws left, and I still have a chance to tie!"
Kiyota Nobunaga turned around and saw Hanamichi Sakuragi who was laughing at him, pointed at Sakuragi and cursed angrily. He didn't want to be laughed at by idiots like Hanamichi Sakuragi. Kiyota, who didn't want to lose face, could only pretend to be calm. After receiving the pass from Oda, he stood on the free throw line, dribbled the ball seemingly calmly, and then shot. Take action.
"Dang~"
After a crisp sound of iron striking, Nobunaga Kiyota's face froze, and then he shamelessly said to Oda: "Then let you kick the ball first."
Sakuragi laughed even more wildly when he saw Kiyota Nobunaga's forced respect. Mito Yohei and others with him also started to boo, saying that Kiyota was "magnificent".
Seeing that Kiyota Nobunaga was so bad at free throws, Oda Ryuumasa, who was still a little nervous at first, calmed down at this moment.
"Ah!"
Oda Ryumasa chuckled, picked up the basketball, and walked towards the three-point line.
What kind of person did he think the person who proposed a 100% battle with him was? It seemed that he still overestimated the opponent. That's right, the guy in front of him seems to know Sakuragi Hanamichi and the others. Can a guy who can hang out with Sakuragi Hanamichi and those bad guys play basketball well?
"I'll attack first!"
Oda Ryumasa stood outside the three-point line and murmured. Kiyota Nobunaga also stood in front of him with an unlucky look on his face. He kept rolling his eyes at Sakuragi on the sidelines and did not put Oda Ryumasa at all. In eyes.
Oda frowned slightly when he saw the other party's absent-minded look. Not only did he feel that he was being underestimated, he also felt that Kiyota Nobunaga's non-serious attitude was an insult to the basketball he loved!
"Hey, check the ball!" Ryumasa Oda handed the ball to Kiyota. Nobunaga Kiyota looked away when he heard this and did not catch the ball. He replied calmly: "Let's start directly, no need to check the ball."
"It's just a waste of time. I need to get rid of you quickly and shut up the red-haired monkey."
Nobunaga Kiyota spread his arms in a defensive posture, and Ryuumasa Oda took back the basketball when he heard this. Without any nonsense, he dropped the ball directly and pressed his back directly against Nobunaga Kiyota, intending to hit hard.
He was angered by Kiyota Nobunaga's gesture. From the beginning to now, Oda Ryumasa didn't understand. How could this boy who is less than 180cm tall have the confidence to be so proud?
He wants to completely destroy the other party's pride in the simplest and most brutal way!
“Peng!
! "
As Oda Ryumasa's body pressed against Kiyota Nobunaga's body, a muffled sound was heard. Oda Ryumasa is 185cm tall and weighs 76kg. When he was in junior high school, he served as a center. Nobunaga Kiyota is 178cm tall and weighs 65kg. He played as a small forward in junior high school, but after becoming a reserve player in Shohoku, he was mainly trained in the direction of point guard.
There is a weight difference of nearly 20 kilograms between the two of them, one big and one small. As soon as their bodies come into contact, the difference in strength between the two is immediately apparent.
"..." Oda Ryumasa's back hit made Kiyota Nobunaga's breath stagnant. Fortunately, he was ready to receive the impact when Oda Ryumasa's back hit. Although he was pushed back a step at this time, , but not completely out of place.
But the discomfort in his chest made Kiyota Nobunaga frown.
Oda Ryumasa, who got the gap, had no intention of turning around. He continued to press his steps backwards, and his body once again pressed against Kiyota Nobunaga. Two consecutive back hits allowed Oda Ryumasa to easily enter the three-point line. When he reached this position, Oda Ryumasa did not repeat his old tricks, but after a shoulder cover, he quickly turned around and broke through, quickly passing by Kiyota Nobunaga.
"The movements are very agile, the turns are skillful, and the speed is pretty good."
"But... if you want to get past Qingtian like this, you're looking down on this kid Qingtian."
Mitsui Hisashi looked at Oda Ryumasa's smooth turning movement and nodded secretly, but his eyes were fixed on Kiyota Nobunaga at this moment.
Needless to say, Oda Ryumasa's movements were really beyond Kiyota Nobunaga's expectations. After the opponent hit twice with his back, he thought that the opponent was a clumsy player, but he did not expect that the opponent's turn and breakthrough would be so skillful.
Although he lost the first move, with Kiyota Nobunaga's explosive power, he still quickly turned around to catch up after Oda Ryumasa broke through. The difference between the two was less than one body, and this short distance of one body, Qingtian caught up with him in an instant.
When Ryumasa Oda broke through to the free throw line, he was about to put the ball in for a layup, but at this moment, he caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye.
Kiyota Nobunaga didn't know when, but he actually reached his side. When Oda Ryumasa was about to join the ball, he seemingly casually reached out and flicked the ball. The shogi was easily broken by Oda Ryumasa's hand, and the falling basketball hit him. On the tip of Oda Ryumasa's toes, he rolled towards the bottom line.
"What?!" Oda Ryumasa whispered in disbelief and looked at Kiyota Nobunaga attentively.
He didn't expect that Nobunaga Kiyota would actually follow him? In fact, just after he crossed the free throw line, the opponent accurately stole the ball. I'm afraid the opponent had been following him for a while before he took action.
When Oda Ryumasa was playing at Wako Middle School, he had never encountered a player like Kiyota Nobunaga. Although the results of the Wako Middle School basketball team were rubbish, Oda Ryumasa had never faced a strong opponent during the match. Under his leadership, they and Guang both won the first round of the county competition...
Kiyota Nobunaga's abilities surprised Oda Ryumasa.
"It's just a simple steal, there's no need to show such a surprised expression."
"In your eyes, how weak am I to make you show such an expression?"
Nobunaga Kiyota turned his head and glanced at Ryumasa Oda. As he spoke, he walked to the baseline, picked up the basketball, and walked toward the three-point line. And at this moment, Kiyota Nobunaga saw Jinguji Budo standing behind the crowd watching the game. That familiar smile made Kiyota's eyes light up. The next second, Kiyota's eyes became firm, and his whole person's aura There have also been some changes.
"Senior Martial Arts is back!"
"He's looking at me!"
Such thoughts flashed through Kiyota Nobunaga's mind. After reaching outside the three-point line, he turned and looked at Oda Ryumasa.
Oda Ryumasa, who walked near the three-point line and prepared to defend, clearly felt that Nobunaga Kiyota's aura had changed. Originally, Nobunaga Kiyota gave him the impression that he was just an arrogant and arrogant person. For basketball and the game, None of them are serious. But now, Qingtian's eyes are full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit?
"What's wrong with this guy?" Oda Ryumasa was confused, but he was more alert to Kiyota Nobunaga. The ball just now gave him some reminders. Although the person in front of him acted very unreliable, he still had some strength.
"I'm sorry!"
"I actually planned to give in. Even if I let you lose, I won't let you lose ugly."
"But now, I have changed my mind."
Kiyota Nobunaga said and handed the ball to Oda Ryumasa for inspection. Oda Ryumasa did not answer, raised his chin, and signaled Kiyota Nobunaga to start attacking.
Seeing this, Kiyota Nobunaga didn't say any more nonsense. He directly dropped the ball with his left hand, made a wrong step, and prepared to break through to Oda Ryumasa's left side. Oda's reaction was also very fast. After sensing his opponent's intention to break through, he immediately adjusted his steps and moved his right foot back, forming a defensive posture with his left foot in front of the left and his right foot behind the right. He planned to catch Kiyota Nobunaga at the moment he broke through. Block your left side.
However, at the moment when Oda Ryumasa adjusted his defensive steps, Kiyota Nobunaga held the ball in a big way and made a beautiful cross over, directly passing through Oda Ryumasa. In the blink of an eye, he had already entered the inside and attacked the basket. And go.
After crossing the free throw line, Kiyota Nobunaga put the ball together, took two big steps and just jumped, amidst the comments of the surrounding spectators, gliding towards the basket.
"ohhhh!"
"Going to slam dunk!"
"Can you do it at this height?!"
Kiyota's actions drew bursts of exclamations from the audience, but in the next second, Kiyota Nobunaga gave everyone an answer.
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise, and Nobunaga Kiyota, who was only 178cm tall, dunked with one hand and poured the ball into the basket. This left Oda Ryuumasa, who was chasing after Qingda, stunned for a while. The students who were questioning a second ago also cheered at this moment.
“Slam dunk?! Really a slam dunk!
! "
"The basketball court has a standard basket. This guy is not even 180cm tall, right? How can such a mortal be able to dunk?"
"This...who is this guy?"
Kiyota Nobunaga's slam dunk instantly became the focus of everyone's attention, and Kiyota himself liked this feeling quite a lot, narrowing his eyes slightly with a look of enjoyment on his face.
Off the court, Sakuragi curled his lips in displeasure when he saw Kiyoda stealing the show, rolled his eyes at Oda, and shouted loudly: "Hey, Oda! Aren't you the ace of our Waguang basketball team? How could you lose to that kind of wild monkey? !”
"How can you, your ace, be so bad?!"
Sakuragi shouted as if no one was watching. He simply watched a lot of games. His understanding of the ace and his definition of the ace were Jinguji Martial Arts and Shinomiya Tano. He felt that the ace must have that kind of strength, and no matter how bad it was, it would still be similar to the bald man who challenged Jinguji Martial Arts at that time.
He is also the trump card, how can Xiaotian lose to the wild monkey?
Sakuragi's words made Oda Ryumasa's face darken. He didn't want to be said like that by a bad guy.
However...the opponent's ability is indeed very strong, stronger than all the players Oda has played against before, which makes Oda Ryumasa excited.
"Coming to Xiangbei was indeed the right choice for me!"
