"What's going on? The ace in Xiangbei obviously had a chance to shoot, but why did he pass the ball? Doesn't he have the ability to three-point?"
"It's so easy to score inside. That player who looks like a gorilla is so strong!"
The Teiko Middle School players were talking loudly. Takenori Akagi, who had just scored a goal and was running back to defense, also had sharp ears and heard the "gorilla" sound.
Then he glared directly at the junior high school students off the field.
Photo: Under the pressure of Takenori Akagi, some Teiko team members decisively shut their mouths. After all, even the most stupid person knows that animals like orangutans are not docile...
"Hey, bleached monkey, defend yourself!"
"Don't let the gorilla score so easily."
During the transition between offense and defense, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Nango Koichiro ran side by side towards the frontcourt. Sakuragi seemed to be quite dissatisfied with Nanxiang's defensive intensity before, and taught him a lesson.
"Red-haired monkey, mind yourself."
"Where do you have the energy to take care of me? A layman who is often ignored by the seniors of Jinguji Temple is worthy of teaching me a lesson?"
】
"Has the victory over the rookie just now made you unable to recognize yourself?"
Nango Koichiro sneered at Sakuragi's attitude. If he were to teach the juniors such a lesson, he would have held his nose and endured it if he were a senior candidate, but who are you, Sakuragi!
"Asshole dye monkey."
"I'm going to defeat them today, don't hold this genius back!"
Sakuragi cursed lowly, and since he had already entered the frontcourt, he did not argue with Nango Koichiro and hurriedly cut inside.
Sakuragi Hanamichi's position in the first-year team is that of a swingman. Obviously, Sakuragi's personal strength is obviously not enough to support the tasks that this role needs to undertake, but the positioning coach Anzai gave Sakuragi Hanamichi is such a positioning.
Originally, Coach Anzai planned to train Sakuragi Hanamichi in the direction of power forward. In the future, he can also take over the vacancy of Chiba Oishi and become Shohoku High School's starting power forward.
But after Coach Anzai saw Jinguji Martial Arts playing after returning from the United States, he gave up this idea.
Sakuragi Hanamichi's talent is outstanding, and it is still uncertain how tall he will be in the future. However, according to coach Anzai's experience, Sakuragi, who has this height in the first grade, may be able to reach about two meters in the future.
This height is certainly enough to play inside in China, but if you go to higher-level competitions, this height is obviously still a bit different.
With the example of Jinguji Martial Arts, Coach Anzai did not stereotype Sakuragi prematurely when training him. Nowadays, the training arranged for Sakuragi is gradually developing towards the direction of swingman.
While focusing on defense and rebounding, he also develops ball-handling, air-cutting, and shooting abilities.
In the first-year triangle offensive tactical system, Sakuragi is a weak triangle, but he is also an important part of the offense.
Sakuragi Hanamichi entered the frontcourt and moved to the mid-range position on the left side of the court. However, Nango Koichiro was positioned outside the paint area under the basket on the right side of the court, Katsumi Ichiro sank directly into the right corner, and Rukawa Kaede was positioned 45° outside the right three-point line.
Kiyota Nobunaga, who was dribbling the ball, finally entered the frontcourt and approached the top of the arc.
A strong-weak triangle was formed, and Kiyota Nobunaga began to act as a dealer, quickly passing the ball to Rukawa Kaede, and then tried to cut inside, trying to find the defensive flaws of the senior team.
The one responsible for defending Rukawa Kaede was Jinguji Budo, while Mitsui Hisashi sank into the bottom corner to defend Katsumi Ichiro. Chiba Oishi observed Sakuragi's movements and simply adjusted his position, but did not follow him out. He did not want to get too far from the paint area. While guarding Sakuragi, he vaguely guarded the basket.
Akagi was holding Nango's back, looking at Rukawa Kaede who was holding the ball, firmly occupying the best position to grab the board. Miyagi Ryota on the outside followed Kiyota Nobunaga, who was running without the ball, and was taken away from the right half of Rukawa Kaede's side by Kiyota.
"The main starting point for the first-year triangle offensive tactic is the singles of Rukawa Kaede, the ace player."
"Unlike our senior class, Nanxiang on the inside does not have an overwhelming advantage in front of Akagi. In comparison, letting Rukawa Kaede lead the offensive choice is a more suitable choice."
"Of course, the premise is that this kid won't challenge me without any intention."
Martial arts maintained a defensive posture in front of Rukawa Kaede, secretly thinking in his heart, waiting for Rukawa Kaede's attack.
Rukawa Kaede held the ball, slightly adjusted the position of the basketball, and at the same time glanced at the entire court, and then made three threats, testing the defensive tendency of martial arts.
Even when faced with Jinguji Martial Arts' defense, Rukawa Kaede never gave up the idea of a breakthrough.
Seeing this, Wu Dao moved a small step forward, further shortening the distance between the two. His left hand directly pressed against Rukawa Kaede's waist, and his right hand grabbed the basketball. Although Rukawa Kaede avoided it, Budo's hand was still There was no intention of stopping, relying on his wingspan to interfere with Rukawa Kaede's landing.
Rukawa Kaede knew that if he held the ball for too long, martial arts would catch him, and the interference from Jinguji martial arts also made him very uncomfortable. The defensive pressure given to him by the two-meter-long Jinguji martial arts was too strong, and he was suppressed. Rukawa Kaede couldn't help but stepped forward, then turned around to sweep the ball.
Just when everyone thought that Rukawa Kaede would use this to break through, Rukawa Kaede suddenly pulled back with the ball, his pivot foot did not move, and after dropping the ball, he still had his back to the basket. The martial arts defense was involved and he took the initiative to follow up. There was no gap between the two.
Rukawa Kaede realized that the opportunity had arisen, dropped the ball quickly, turned around to face the frame, and accelerated in an instant.
"Continuous feints with the ball, breakthrough!"
"Oh!
So fast!
! "
Rukawa Kaede's breakthrough speed was very fast, and everyone in Diguang on the sidelines exclaimed when they saw this scene. However, the next second, Rukawa Kaede, who was in the middle of the assault, suddenly stopped and stopped abruptly.
In front of him, Jinguji Martial Arts, who had been thrown away just now, actually reappeared in front of him. From the time Rukawa Kaede broke through to the time when Jinguji Martial Arts was in place to pursue and defend, it only took just two seconds.
At the same time, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who realized that Rukawa Kaede could not break through, quickly crossed from the left and ran towards the right corner.
Katsumi Ichiro stepped up from the bottom corner and quickly ran in the direction of Rukawa Kaede. After arriving behind Rukawa Kaede, Rukawa Kaede handed the ball to Katsumi Ichiro, and then quickly ran towards the bottom corner where Katsumi was before. . The defensive Budo glanced at Katsumi Ichiro and noticed that Mitsui Hisashi was still stuck behind Katsumi. He did not choose to switch defense and chased Rukawa Kaede to the bottom corner.
Katsumi Ichiro took the ball and made a fake throw. Although Mitsui Hisashi was not fired, the ball was successfully passed and passed to Sakuragi who was running to the left mid-range at this time.
When the basketball fell into Sakuragi's hands, the chasing Chiba was still two bodies away from him. This third-year power forward's running speed without the ball was much slower than Sakuragi Hanamichi, and Sakuragi took advantage of it. Successfully ran out of space.
"Beautifully passed on!"
"Look at this genius' projection!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi shouted excitedly after receiving the ball, turned around and took a mid-range shot.
"Hahaha! I am indeed a genius~"
From the zero-degree angle, Sakuragi Hanamichi's mid-range shot went directly into the net.
"Um?!"
"It's actually this kid Sakuragi. He's already in this position..."
"Tactical literacy has improved."
Budo turned his head and happened to see the basketball entering the net. He looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi near the sideline and nodded slightly.
"Qingfeng..."
"If it were you, could you keep up with that person's breakthrough just now?"
Under the court, Akashi Seijuro looked at Rukawa Kaede who was returning to defense and asked solemnly.
Although Rukawa Kaede's breakthrough just now failed to successfully penetrate the martial arts defense, the ability Rukawa Kaede showed in that attack and defense left a deep impression on Akashi Seijuro. The continuous feints with the ball were elegant and smooth. He had never seen such extraordinary moves in a campus basketball game.
In the previous practice match with Shohoku, Akashi had never seen Rukawa Kaede, and now he was full of curiosity about the powerful Rukawa Kaede.
"..." Aomine Daiki didn't answer Akashi Seijuro's question, his eyes drifted away from Rukawa Kaede and Jinguji, looking lost in thought.
Although he didn't get a reply from Aomine, Akashi Seijuro already knew the answer to the question.
Qingfeng is the person with the best single defense ability among their team, and he is also the fastest. If he can't keep up, then there is no need to worry about the others.
but.....
Shohoku's ace was obviously on the defensive side, but he was able to keep up with Rukawa Kaede's advance. Such foot power and experience were beyond the imagination of the Teikou players.
The senior team of Xiangbei began to organize the offense.
Aomine Daiki, Akashi and others all focused their attention on the matchup between Jinguji Martial Arts and Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Although they don't know what tactics Xiangbei is playing now, they know that no matter what tactics it is, it is absolutely impossible for the team's ace to be invisible during the game.
And the red-haired player who was sent to face the team's ace had been unable to defend them in the warm-up match just now.
The Jedi is a battle between dragons and tigers, this is what Di Guang's team members think.
The senior team fell into position. Miyagi and other players took their positions and gave the ball to Jinguji Budo.
Facing Sakuragi Hanamichi, Budo caught the ball and faked a pass to Akagi. The innocent Sakuragi subconsciously turned his head and looked. Budo did not take this opportunity to break through, but instead looked at Sakuragi with a smile on his face.
"Damn it! I was deceived!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi, who didn't see the basketball fly into Akagi's hands and realized that he had been deceived, turned back and cursed, staring at the basketball in Budo's hand, trying to judge Budo's offensive intention through the position of the basketball.
Sakuragi Hanamichi, who has been playing for a year, already has a lot of defensive experience, and this kid's talent is outstanding in itself, and he already knows some defensive skills.
"Sakuragi, defense can't just watch the ball! Pay attention to the body movements of the offensive players."
As he spoke, Budo suddenly dropped the ball with his back to the basket. After a shoulder cover, the basketball fell from Budo's right hand in an indistinct manner, hit Sakuragi's feet and bounced backwards. However, Budo himself turned around from the left and passed over in an instant. Sakuragi Hanamichi.
The ball passed.
Sakuragi couldn't see when Budo dropped the ball, and his shoulder movement also deceived him. It wasn't until Budo passed through him and caught the ball behind him that Sakuragi realized that he had been broken through by Jinguji Budo.
He passed Sakuragi's wide open martial arts position without taking a shot himself. He passed the ball directly to Takenori Akagi inside.
Takenori Akagi, who received the ball inside, raised the ball and shot a false-point shot, which deceived Nango's center of gravity. Then he dropped the ball and entered the paint area with a deep step. He pushed away Nango Koichiro and scored a one-handed dunk.
One offense and one defense, Akagi's game against Nanxiang was quite like Yao's style of playing against a small budget.
"Good job, Akagi."
Budo smiled and celebrated by hitting Akagi who was back on defense. Faced with Budo's praise, Akagi just nodded calmly. His appearance of neither arrogance nor impatience was completely different from Sakuragi who scored the goal before.
"Sakuragi, when defending, you have to look at the ball. Don't just look at body movements. Body movements can be deceiving, but the ball can't!"
When Budao was about to return to defense, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to Sakuragi Hanamichi with a smile.
"Um?!"
"Didn't you just say that you can't just watch the ball, you have to watch the body?!"
Sakuragi was stunned when he heard this, and asked angrily.
"Literally."
“You can’t just look at the ball, and you can’t just look at the body.”
"Let's look at it together!"
"Are you a child? Either black or white?"
Wu Dao said with a smile and quickly returned to defense. Sakuragi Hanamichi snorted angrily, stamped his feet as if to vent, and then quickly ran forward, preparing to attack.
The strange behavior of Jinguji Budo on the offensive end obviously attracted the attention of the Teiko team members. They all noticed the anomaly in the martial arts of Jinguji Temple just now.
There was obviously a wide-open shooting opportunity, but he didn't take the shot himself. Instead, he chose to pass the ball.
They may think that Budo does not have three-point ability, but they will never think that Xiangbei's ace does not have mid-range shooting ability.
Obviously, Jinguji Martial Arts did this deliberately. As for why, these members of Diguang can only guess.
"The ace in Xiangbei is so powerful..."
"The red-haired one has such a strong defensive ability, but he can't guard against that person at all."
"Although he is so tall, his extraordinary skills are so superb, and his speed is also terrifying."
"Are all the aces of high school basketball teams this kind of character?"
Qingfeng Dahui's expression revealed a little yearning, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself. After seeing the standard of high school basketball, Aomine Daiki is no longer satisfied with junior high school level competition.
"How can it be....."
"Didn't I say before that Xiangbei is a powerful force with the potential to dominate the country."
"Their trump card, Jinguji Martial Arts, is also one of the top high school students in the country."
"How many goals are there? His strength is much stronger than you think."
"What is revealed now is just the tip of the iceberg."
"It's still too early for you to compare with him, but don't be discouraged. With your talents, you will one day reach his level."
"I have no doubt about that."
Supervisor Sanada came up behind Aomine Daiki at some point, patted Aomine on the shoulder and said with a smile. He is full of expectations for the future of Qingfeng and others.
"Of course!" Qingfeng Dahui nodded heavily, full of confidence in his talent.
In the stadium, Xiangbei's team practice match is still going on.
In this game, Budo, the team's trump card, was completely invisible. More importantly, he assisted Akagi and Hisashi Mitsui, which affected the defense of the first-year students. While Akagi was overwhelming on the inside, Hisashi Mitsui got everything he wanted on the outside. Miyagi Ryota will also double-team and cut from time to time, completely dismembering the first-year defense.
The triangle offensive tactic reveals a corner of its power.
On the first grade side, the triangle offensive tactic is difficult. Rukawa Kaede is not invincible in singles. Nanxiang on the inside cannot push the opponent in front of Akagi. Most of the time, he can only provide support. The two sides of the triangle offense are Corner has no advantage at all, and Katsumi Ichiro rarely has the chance to catch the ball.
Because Rukawa Kaede's outside singles and Nango Koichiro's inside singles cannot attract Mitsui Hisashi's double-team, it is difficult for him to have an opportunity to catch the ball in an open position.
For a time, the ones who took the most offensive shots were Sakuragi, who was actively running, and Nobunaga Kiyota, who had a slight height advantage.
The weak triangle of the triangle offense has become the main force of the offense.
The same set of tactics had completely two effects in the warm-up match of Shohoku High School.
If the first-year students can't use this tactic well, martial arts is very open-minded.
After all, the triangle offensive tactic is essentially a tactic to strengthen singles. For so many years in the NBA, the Bulls led by Jordan and Pippen and the Lakers led by O'Neal and Kobe have used this tactic to dominate.
Rukawa Kaede and Nanxiang are not enough to support Xiangbei.
It’s the same old saying.
The future is yours, but now, it is still ours!
