Shohoku High School's offensive advance was very fast. In just a few seconds, everyone from Shohoku had already entered the frontcourt. Center Takenori Akagi and power forward Chiba Oishi entered the baseline and were on both sides of the paint area.
Mitsui Hisashi silently sank into the left corner. Miyagi Ryota also deliberately avoided the right side and the top of the arc when dribbling the ball and moved towards the left side of the court.
The positioning of the Shohoku players naturally attracted the defense of Lingnan High School. Lingnan used man-to-man tactics in the second half. Under the guidance of the Xiangbei players, most of Lingnan's players also gathered in the left half, completely vacating the long-range and mid-range positions in the right half.
Only Jinguji Budo, who was near the top of the arc, and Shinomiya Tanano on the defensive side were left.
"Xiangbei...replicated our Lingnan offensive tactics?"
"Are you going to rely on Jinguji Budo's singles to score points?!"
When Coach Taoka saw such a change in the formation of Xianghoku High School, he immediately raised his eyebrows and showed a surprised look.
In superstar basketball, Shohoku High School rarely used such offensive tactics in the past. Jinguji Budo’s singles starting points were mostly in the mid-to-long distance. Therefore, Shohoku’s players can use the inside-penetrating play to strengthen the inside threat and at the same time Keep most defensive players close to the paint area
In terms of results, this style of play can not only fully utilize the personal characteristics of Jinguji Martial Arts, but also increase the threat of the rest of the team members from attacking the basket.
The completely open style of play adopted by Lingnan is to fit the offensive characteristics of Shinomiya Tano. Shinomiya is different from Jinguji Martial Arts. Shinomiya is good at mid-range and short-range shots, and has relatively few long-range shots. At the same time, Shinomiya's most lethal thing is actually his basket attack.
The power of a 100kg high school student using the potential energy brought by his speed to rush inside is simply not something that ordinary high school students can resist. Ever since Shinomiya entered high school, he has been dunked on by countless centers, and each of them is ranked among the best in the prefecture and in the country.
At this time, Xiangbei actually adopted a completely open formation, in order to...
In the court, Jinguji Budo was approaching the top of the arc. At the same time, Miyagi Ryota quickly passed the ball to Jinguji Budo.
Wu Dao took the ball and feinted, then dug forward to break through in the next second. Jinguji Budo, who is over two meters tall, is extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he is directly on the same level as Shinomiya Tanano. When Shinomiya just catches up with him, the high-speed Jinguji Budo suddenly stops. , changed direction and continued to advance.
Although Shinomiya still kept up with his excellent athletic ability, with one breakthrough and one disguised breakthrough, Budo was already approaching the free throw line.
"This guy is probably planning to take action!"
Seeing Jinguji Budo approaching the free throw line, Shinomiya's defensive pressure became even stronger. He had already had a premonition that Jinguji Budo might change its pace in this position.
Sure enough, Jinguji Budo, who was close to the free throw line, suddenly stopped and slowed down. After a blast, he suddenly dribbled the ball with his back to the basket. Shinomiya's defense was close, with his hands raised above his head, ready to block Jinguji Budo's shot at any time.
Suddenly, Jinguji Budo, who was carrying the basket, turned to the right and feinted. Shinomiya Tōdō shrank and fell into a brief hesitation. The opponent did not hit the ball, and the feint was most likely a fake move. The purpose should be to break through. The purpose of Shohoku High School to clear the mid-range support players should be to create space for Jinguji to break through!
However, at the moment when he hesitated, Jinguji Budo, who was obviously a feint, turned around completely, quickly combined the ball, and shot a fadeaway jumper. With the bounce of Jinguji Martial Arts and his height, this martial arts' fadeaway jumper has become quite unsolvable, and the elevation angle of Jinguji Martial Arts is also very exaggerated, almost 40 degrees.
Shinomiya's momentary hesitation in defense also caused him to completely lose the opportunity to block the shot.
All he could do was raise his hands and make a last-ditch effort, hoping that his interference would put some shooting pressure on Jinguji Budo.
"Uh-huh!"
There was a soft sound, and the front of the basketball was hollowed into the net, and it jumped backwards gracefully.
The first-year students on the sidelines looked envious. Don't forget that there are powerful basketball team members like Lingnan and Xiangbei present, and there are really only a few high school students who can use fadeaway jumpers as a regular weapon.
This kind of shooting technology requires not only the player's shooting ability, but also the core strength of the players must be strong enough, and they need to have enough lag in the air for such a shot to be effective.
Most people don't have such qualities.
There are very few players who can perform movements of Jinguji Martial Arts’ caliber. In the entire Shohoku High School, Rukawa Kaede is probably the only one who has such skills. Sakuragi may have potential, but currently he does not have such ability.
"This guy... still shoots so fast, and the physical confrontation has not dropped. My defense can't suppress his breakthrough..."
Jinguji Budo quickly retreated after the goal. Shinomiya looked at Jinguji leaving and murmured. His originally serious face suddenly showed a smile. He was very satisfied with the power of Jinguji's martial arts, and only such an opponent was qualified for him to exert his full strength.
[In view of the general environment,
"Sendō, Fujima, Uozumi and Hanagata are all ready to catch the ball."
"I may pass the ball next, so I have to concentrate!"
"Also, everyone, get moving, make up for it in time, don't let that guy get away completely."
Shinomiya said to his teammates, and then quickly ran towards the frontcourt.
Xiandao and others couldn't help but look at each other in shock when they heard Shinomiya Tano's words. After a few seconds of silence, they understood the meaning of Shinomiya Tano's words and began to organize a new round of attack.
Soon, Kenji Fujima pushed the ball towards the frontcourt. Sendō and others rushed into the frontcourt early before him and completed their position.
Exactly the same as the previous attack method, Lingnan High School still opened up all members and let Shinomiya Tanozhi singles Jinguji Budo. But this time, Shinomiya Tano used his own strength to reach the middle distance during the wrestling with Jinguji Martial Arts.
And when he finished his position, Fujima Kenji also made a false pass and quickly passed the ball to Shinomiya Tanano. With the ball in both hands, Shinomiya fought with his back. While blasting the ball, he violently squeezed inside. Faced with his strong attack, even Jinguji Budo could not withstand it and was forced to take half a step back and leave the space. took a few positions.
Shinomiya didn't hold back at all. Seeing that he had an advantage, he pushed the ball again. Just when Budo couldn't resist it and was about to go around to steal it, Shinomiya suddenly held the ball with both hands and straightened up. Under Budo's confused look, Shinomiya didn't hold back at all. In the middle, Shinomiya threw the ball directly behind him.
The basketball went directly over Wu Dao's head and flew towards the basket.
"What?!"
Jinguji Budo let out a low cry, thinking that this guy had given up on himself, and directly started shooting from behind the basket. However, when Budo looked back, he found that at this time, Sendo had already cut into the inside line and happened to receive it. The ball given by Shinomiya Tanano.
"Without looking at the back pass, Shinomiya chose to pass the ball?!"
Wu Dao watched Xiandao catch the ball under the basket and dunk directly, and he couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.
He and Shinomiya Tano only played a few goals against each other, but Shinomiya Tōno gave up singles so quickly? This really doesn't fit his style.
What surprised Budo even more was that Shinomiya's passing was very imaginative, and the opponent's passing field of view was too wide. He even saw Sendō who was slipping the baseline, and Jinguji who also had his back to the basket. Martial arts have not discovered the immortal way of Kongqi.
"This guy..." As Lingnan High School easily counterattacked, everyone in Lingnan in the audience burst into cheers.
The Xiangbei team members who witnessed Lingnan's offensive all felt very heavy.
Hisashi Mitsui, who was defending Sendō, stared at Sendō who was leaving, feeling annoyed.
Since Shinomiya received the ball, Hisashi Mitsui was a little neglectful of Sendou Akira.
After all, he still understands Shinomiya's playing style and style, which is a black hole for ball rights. After the basketball is in Shinomiya's hands, it is rarely passed out. With this combination of wonderful passes, Mitsui Hisashi could imagine that Fujima could play well and Sendō could play well, but he didn't expect that Shinomiya Tano could also play well.
"In these days, not only we have grown, but those in Lingnan have also grown."
"Don't be careless."
Hisashi Mitsui quickly learned his lesson, shouted to the players, and then ran towards the frontcourt.
Budo also figured it out at this moment. He knew that Shinomiya Tanano is no longer a player obsessed with winning or losing. In other words, Shinomiya Tanano is still the player with a strong desire to win or lose, but when he plays, He also became rational.
Budao was thinking about the changes in Shinomiya Tano, but after all, he still didn't understand Shinomiya Tano well enough.
Playing ball becomes rational? ! Is that all?
Facing Shohoku High School, led by Jinguji Martial Arts, Shinomiya not only plans to win the individual duel, he also wants to win the team victory!
Soon, the Xiangbei players entered the frontcourt.
Wu Dao also wanted to understand at this moment, who is stronger and who is weaker between him and Shinomiya Tanano. In fact, this kind of thing is not the most important thing at the moment. There is really no need to decide the winner between the two of them.
As long as Xiangbei can beat Lingnan High School, personal victory or defeat is actually not that important.
In order to make the fight easier, Wu Dao no longer planned to force himself to break out. After Miyagi entered the frontcourt, the other Shohoku players were just about to pull away when Budo reached out to Miyagi for the ball. As soon as the basketball was in hand, Budo pointed directly to the floor beside Shinomiya and called for a pick-and-roll.
Miyagi Ryota was startled when he saw this, and then quickly made a move and ran to pick and roll. Budo also followed Miyagi Ryota's pick-and-roll direction and dropped the ball to break through.
However, Miyagi Ryota's body was too thin. Even if he tried his best, Shinomiya was easily forced past. Miyagi Ryota's pick-and-roll did not even slow down Shinomiya's pursuit.
Although Miyagi's pick-and-roll was useless, Fujima, who was originally chasing him, subconsciously switched defenses at the moment of Shohoku's pick-and-roll, ignoring Miyagi Ryota on the outside, and instead stood in front of Budo.
Looking at the handsome young man in front of him, Budo glanced at Shinomiya's position from the corner of his eye, and continued to drop the ball, moving in the same direction as Shinomiya's running. In the blink of an eye, Budō directly squeezed Fujima away. Rushing towards the inside line.
The pursuing Shinomiya was also slowed down by Fujima who was blocking the way, and was unable to catch up with Jinguji Budo. He watched Jinguji Budo enter the mid-range and score an open shot.
As Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tano both changed their playing styles, the two teams Shohoku High School and Ryonan High School also coincidentally abandoned the superstar basketball style of play and began to play as a team.
However, although both teams are playing teamwork, their playing styles are very different.
The team basketball of Lingnan High School is that players in each position have their own characteristics. Players in all positions have beautiful singles ability after receiving the ball.
Even Jun Uozumi on the inside managed to score a single over Akagi's head.
However, Fujima Kenji, Shinomiya Tanano and Sendō used their passing abilities to connect the players in various positions. It gives the impression that the Lingnan players seem to be very cooperative, but if you look closely, you can find that everyone actually plays their own role.
But Shohoku High School is different. Shohoku's team basketball is completely built around Jinguji Martial Arts. Although it is a team basketball, Jinguji Martial Arts still accounts for about 80% of the team's shots.
The rest of the people either help with pick-and-rolls for Martial Arts, help pass the basketball, or run into the open space. Only when the space is open will the basketball pass into the hands of these people and get rare shooting opportunities.
Whenever there is a defensive player on the opposite side, Xiangbei's players on the court will not choose to take action themselves. They will often pass the ball back to Budao, waiting for an open opportunity, or it will be completed by Budao.
It's also team basketball, but the two teams have completely different playing styles.
As the game progressed, the point difference between the two teams remained at a stalemate of around 19 points. Xiangbei was unable to close the score, and similarly, Lingnan High School was unable to widen the point difference.
The two teams went back and forth, evenly matched.
On the court, when Shohoku had the ball, Jinguji Budo caught the ball with his back to the basket in the mid-range.
Behind him, Shinomiya Tano raised his arms high. At the same time, Uozumi on the inside was also ready to move, ready to step forward to defend at any time. Fujima, who was at the top of the arc, saw Jinguji Budo holding the ball and also moved his steps, slowly moving towards Budo.
"Bang!" After a blast of the ball, Jinguji Budou turned around to face the frame and took a step forward. His action also alerted Uozumi inside, who decisively moved up the position and formed a double-team with Shinomiya Tanano.
As soon as his position moved, the basketball flew directly between Uozumi and Shinomiya and fell straight into the hands of Takenori Akagi. Akagi, who had the ball under the basket, suddenly jumped up and poured the ball into the basket with both hands.
As Akagi scored, the Shohoku rest area burst into cheers. After a fistfight between Budo and Akagi, they quickly retreated on defense.
"Damn it!" Uozumi grabbed the basketball and smashed it on the floor in annoyance, with a look of displeasure on his face.
Shinomiya Tano, on the other hand, looked calm and unconcerned.
but.....
The second half of the game has been going on for 16 minutes, and Jinguji Budo's personal score has reached 31 points, and he has given out 5.6 assists. The entire Xiangbei is now connected together by Jinguji Martial Arts. On the offensive end, there is rarely a miss.
This kind of offensive efficiency puts huge defensive pressure on Lingnan.
And this kind of pressure also eroded the players of Lingnan High School as the game progressed.
