"The person who can beat me is our Xiangbei High School, the new ace!"
"Sa, don't be polite, just let your horse come over here!"
Jinguji Martial Arts' words caused the first-year students who were still stretching to stop their movements and look at Jinguji Martial Arts attentively. Many first-year freshmen are familiar with Jinguji Martial Arts. After all, they have received basketball training, and they also choose Shohoku. Most of them come because of the strength and performance of the Shohoku High School basketball team.
The reason why Xiangbei has been able to achieve its current results is that there is no way around the trump card of Jinguji Martial Arts.
Are young people ambitious? Of course there is. Which of these first-year students doesn't want to become the team's ace and lead the team to shine in the national competition and win the national championship?
The words of Jinguji Martial Arts also successfully aroused the ambitions and desires of these young people.
"Ace...if I can defeat him, I will be the new ace in Xiangbei..."
A young team member looked at Jinguji Martial Arts and murmured. In his mind, he even began to imagine the scene after defeating Jinguji Martial Arts.
However, there are not no sober young people. Kiyota Nobunaga also heard the murmur of this classmate, and curled his lips disdainfully: "Hey, stop dreaming, you are about the same height as me, even if Jinguji-senpai stands If I ask you to block it, you may not be able to stop it."
Kiyota Nobunaga's words made many first-year students wake up, yes! If the ace of Shohoku High School can be defeated so easily, then how can Shohoku become a powerful player so quickly?
"Jinguji-senpai is so tall, so he must not be very fast. I think our first graders can win with speed."
"Using bombardment tactics! It's a good idea!"
"Captain Mu Mu, we are all warmed up. Let's quickly arrange for the players to play!"
The first-year freshmen discussed the competition method with great interest. After all, they were young people. Even if they knew that Jinguji Martial Arts might not be able to defeat it so easily, they would never give up the opportunity to try.
A group of first-year students eagerly signed up immediately after the warm-up, hoping to get a chance to play. Seeing this scene, Kimugure Kimibu also turned his attention to coach Anzai. It was Anzai who arranged for the first-year students to play. The coach is personally responsible.
Coach Anxi on the sidelines smiled when he saw the enthusiastic appearance of the first-year students. He stood up from his seat with the list and came to the freshmen. According to the position of the freshmen's declaration form, he selected two Inside, three outside players enter the court as first-year starters.
The students arranged by Coach Anzai were all new faces, such as Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede, and they did not get the chance to start.
Here, coach Anxi actually has some selfish motives. He hopes to let other first-year players perform first, and then send out the five players they specially recruited from Xiangbei. In this way, these first-year students can clearly understand the gap between themselves and these special recruits. In the future, coach Anxi will be able to promote these special recruits to the regular team members.
Of course, if there are any outstanding players among these freshmen who are strong enough to compare with people like Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede, Coach Anzai will definitely not be stingy and give them enough opportunities to perform.
After all, how long the freshmen can play on the court depends on their own level!
"Look, the first-year rookies are on the field!"
Jinguji Budo and the senior team members waited for a long time and finally saw the freshmen arranged by coach Anzai enter the court.
Hisashi Mitsui also acted as the referee for this game. He stood in the middle circle with the ball and waited for the players from both teams.
While talking, Jinguji Budo led the players to complete their positions in the center circle, and the task of jumping the ball was assigned to Chiba Oishi.
Although Jinguji Martial Arts is now the top player in Shohoku High School, he is really not used to jumping balls, which affects his speed after kicking off the ball. Moreover, the inside height of the first-year freshman is only a little over 180cm. Even if Chiba is asked to jump the ball, there is no chance of any accidents.
"They are all new faces. In this case, save some strength and hit them as you like."
Jinguji Budo observed several first-year students on the field, but did not see Sakuragi Hanamichi and others, so his interest immediately became much smaller.
Although it is also a dishonor, if it is too dishonest, it will be very boring.
Fighting against Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede is actually the most interesting. Although the strength is still a little bit behind, the talent is very strong, and the more they fight, the stronger they are, and they refuse to admit defeat. An opponent with this kind of personality is interesting to fight.
Just when Jinguji Martial Arts was thinking wildly, the freshmen had already completed their positions. With a whistle from Hisashi Mitsui, the basketball was thrown into the air.
Sure enough, Chiba Oishi, who is now in third grade and is 192cm tall, easily won the jump ball and directed the ball directly towards Jinguji Budo.
When Budo picked up the ball in the backcourt, he did not drop the ball. He gave the ball directly and casually to the hands of Yasuda Yaharu, and then walked slowly towards the frontcourt.
Change source app]
The senior class adopts a dual-point guard lineup. Yasuda Yashun and Miyagi Ryota are both point guards.
Yasuda Yasuda did not give the ball to Miyagi after he got the ball. He took the ball himself, pressed at the back of the team, and slowly advanced towards the frontcourt. By the time he entered the frontcourt, Chiba Oishi and Tsunoda Satoru had already occupied both sides of the paint area under the basket. The first-year players who faced them were both inferior in strength and height, and couldn't stand up to Chiba and Tsunoda.
As for Wu Dao, he stood at a position of 45° outside the three-point line. This is the most comfortable point for him to catch the ball and attack. The first grader who was guarding him was about 175cm tall. Standing in front of Jinguji Martial Arts, he looked like a child.
"Hey, hey, that height difference is really too big, isn't it?!"
"I heard that Jinguji-senpai plays the small forward position? His height seems to be much higher than that of the center!"
The matchup between the Jinguji Martial Arts team made the students watching on the sidelines start talking.
Rukawa Kaede's eyes have always been on Jinguji Martial Arts, and he has never left since entering the martial arts. Seeing this matchup, the cold-tempered Rukawa Kaede shook his head involuntarily and sighed softly: "It's impossible to stop him!"
In the court, Yasuda Yasuhiro dribbled the ball close to the three-point line and gave the ball directly to Jinguji Budo's hands. The martial arts man who took the ball did not make any other unnecessary movements. He started with the basketball, did not even adjust his posture, and directly made a three-pointer. Take action.
The basketball flew directly towards the basket in front of the defensive players. The next second, it hit the edge of the basket with a crisp sound.
"Dang~~"
The basketball collapsed out of the frame, and Chiba Oishi directly squeezed away his opponent under the basket, occupied the best position to grab the board, jumped up, and easily grabbed the ball in his hands.
Chiba Oishi, who got the rebound, clearly had a great offensive opportunity under the basket, but he had no intention of shooting. Instead, he flicked the ball towards Jinguji Budo on the outside, giving up the excellent offensive opportunity.
The basketball flew towards Budo rapidly. The first-year defender tried to jump up to steal it, but Jinguji Budo didn't even jump at all. He just stood on tiptoes and took the flying basketball in his hands. From the defensive player Got the basketball over his head.
The basketball started again, Wu Dao stood on the spot and shot another upright three-pointer.
This time, there were no accidents and the basketball went directly into the net.
"Qianye, attack this great opportunity yourself!"
"No need to take care of me."
After the goal, the senior players began to defend. When Budao and Chiba's figures crossed each other, he said to Chiba.
"It's too slow to get two points. Besides, I also want to see how far your strength has grown since you came back from the United States."
"But now it seems that the opponent is too weak and there is no way for you to have fun."
Qianye Dashi smiled and said with a smile, and celebrated with martial arts boxing. After returning to his own half, he went directly to the interior defense.
"These boys are just the appetizer. The game will be interesting after those few boys come on stage!"
Budo can understand Chiba's mood. Although these first-year freshmen are already high school students, their skills are still at the junior high school level. If these young people have explosive physical talents, then they will still have some flavor in fighting, but The physical fitness of these young people is average, and their skills are so-so. Compared with them, the main players, the difference is really huge, and they are really boring to fight.
As the game progressed, the senior team led by Budo easily opened up the score with their opponents. Until coach Anxi was replaced, this group of freshmen were not able to score even a single goal over the seniors.
The layup was blocked by Chiba, the shot was not accurate, and even a simple dribble was intercepted by Miyagi several times. Although Budo had the intention to let go, the first batch of people was really too weak.
With the change of coach Anxi, Martial Arts and their opponents changed five players.
After the substitution, the scores of the two teams were cleared and the ball was jumped again. The strength of the five new players is a little better than the previous wave, but only a little. The score between the two teams reached 24:3, and Coach Anxi made another five downs and five ups.
Wave after wave, wave after wave.
Jinguji Martial Arts in the stadium has had countless opponents, and no team can score more than 10 points in front of their seniors.
During this period, Oda Ryumasa, who received the attention of coach Anzai, also played. The first-year team he led were relatively good among their many opponents in martial arts. Oda Ryumasa scored 6 points against Chiba, and his ability was remarkable. It's nice, but that's all.
After that, Miyagi started to exert his strength and forced a few rounds, easily causing Oda Ryumasa to get three fouls.
After so many rounds, Wu Dao was more about running back and forth, occasionally shooting shots, and grabbing rebounds. The intensity of the game was ridiculously low.
Maybe it took more than a dozen waves, maybe it took more than twenty waves, but just when the martial arts was so boring that he planned to take a break, Coach Anzai finally replaced Sakuragi Hanamichi and the five of them on the field.
And this is also the last set of opponents for their senior team in today's freshman training match.
At this time, two hours have passed since the training started, and there have been several substitutions in the senior team.
Currently on the court are Chiba, who has rested for more than 20 minutes, Tsunoda, who has rested for more than an hour, Miyagi, Jinguji Budo, who has been on the court, and the new Tetsuji Shiozaki.
In the middle circle, Jinguji Budo and his team members stood in formation, waiting for the first graders to enter and jump to the ball again.
After playing Jinguji Martial Arts for more than two hours, my breathing was even and not rushed at all. There was not even much sweat on my jersey, and I looked full of energy. Others are also in very good condition and can still be considered at their peak.
Sakuragi Hanamichi and other special recruits came in. Nango Koichiro stood directly in the middle circle, intending to jump ball with Chiba Oishi. Kiyota Nobunaga directly approached Miyagi Ryota, while Katsumi Ichiro was eyeing Shiozaki. Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede came to Jinguji Martial Arts at the same time. The two men were fierce and different from the opponents they had encountered before.
"Young, you two are on stage."
"Get ready to jump the ball. Don't stand in front of me. I'm scared."
Budao looked at Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede and said with a smile. Sakuragi Hanamichi turned his head and glanced at Rukawa Kaede. After thinking for a moment, he actually left on his own initiative, gave up his defensive position, and walked towards Tsunoda Satoru.
"This big idiot is quite sensible!" Rukawa Kaede was a little surprised by Sakuragi's choice and muttered, and this was heard by Martial Arts.
"Knowing your interests? Rukawa, you still don't understand this kid Sakuragi!"
"How can he be wise? He is waiting for you to be defeated by me and then take over your failure~"
"I'm looking forward to it! I'm looking forward to seeing how strong you and Hanamichi are now."
"Rukawa, I have experienced a higher level of basketball in the United States."
"Let me measure how far you are from there now!"
Facing Rukawa Kaede, Martial Arts became much more excited. He stretched his muscles and said to Rukawa Kaede. After hearing this, Rukawa Kaede shrunk and became more willing to fight.
While the two were talking, Hisashi Mitsui came to the center circle with the ball and blew the whistle to start the game.
"Beep!"
After a quick whistle, Budo and Rukawa Kaede both looked at Chiba and Nango who were jumping the ball. Surprisingly, first-year Nango Koichiro actually jumped a step higher than Chiba Oishi. He got ahead of Chiba, clicked under the basketball, and moved the ball towards his own half. .
Nobunaga Kiyota, who was in the backcourt, had quick eyes and quick hands. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the ball in his hand. When Miyagi Ryota came up to guard, he passed the ball directly to Katsumi Ichiro with a back pass.
The latter took the ball, accelerated directly, passed Tetsuji Shiozaki, and advanced rapidly towards the frontcourt. With Katsumi Ichiro's start, Sakuragi Hanamichi, Rukawa Kaede, Kiyota Nobunaga and Nango Koichiro started from the four. From one position to another, he crossed towards the frontcourt with extremely fast speed and tacit cooperation, which was far beyond what the previous first-year players could match.
"Return to defense!"
This was not the first practice match between Chiba Oishi and Sakuragi Hanamichi. He was not surprised that the jump ball failed. At the same time as Sakuragi and the others started, they were already running back to defense.
Soon, Sakuragi and others entered the frontcourt. Sakuragi and Nanxiang, who were the first to enter the frontcourt, did not stay on the outside and went directly to the inside. Rukawa Kaede noticed this and changed direction directly, involving martial arts. The defense sank towards the bottom corner.
"Opportunity!" Katsumi Ichiro, who controlled the ball and entered the frontcourt, saw this scene. In front of Tetsuji Shiozaki, he threw the ball high and towards the basket.
Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was inserted into the inside line, looked up at the basketball, adjusted his rhythm, and at the moment when the basketball was about to reach his head, he jumped up, grabbed the ball in the air, and glided towards the basket. Throw the ball directly into the basket.
Sakuragi Hanamichi's dunk made a lot of noise, but at this time, the arena fell into an eerie silence. Sakuragi Hanamichi grabbed the basket with one hand and shook his body slightly. After a few seconds, he released his hand and fell to the ground. .
"How's that?! This genius' slam dunk?!"
