The referee's penalty for Mori Shigehiro's timeout of grabbing the basket was quite severe. After giving the technical foul, Lingnan's side will implement two free throws and one throw.
The player who took the free throw was Lingnan's Xiandao. Budo was a little surprised that Lingnan's side actually asked Xiandao to come up and take free throws instead of sending out Shinomiya Tanoh, Coach Taoka's most confidant.
However, such emotions are fleeting. After all, with Immortal's ability, executing free throws is as simple as eating and drinking.
"Uh-huh!"
"Swish!" Two swish sounds sounded in succession, which also proved Jinguji's martial arts judgment. Xiandao's free throws were very stable without any accidents. When he executed free throws, he basically just caught the ball and shot, without giving himself much time to adjust.
After the free throw, Lingnan High School got the offensive ball. Under the leadership of Fujima Kenji, a group of Lingnan players quickly settled in the frontcourt.
"Fujima, pass the ball!" This time, Shinomiya didn't let Fujima give Yu Abbot another chance to attack with the ball. After Fujima entered the frontcourt, he immediately leaned against Mu Shenyi and reached out towards Fujima Kenji. Want the ball.
As the basketball passed from Fujima's hands, it fell into Shinomiya's hands. The audience in the stands suddenly burst into cheers.
The sudden cheers made the Hainan substitutes off the field couldn't help but look sideways. However, the Hainan players in the stadium seemed to have expected this and were not distracted by the cheers from the stands.
Mori Shigehiro, who had only relatively little competition experience, looked curiously towards the stands, and then turned his attention to Shinomiya Tano. At the same time, he moved his position, raised a few positions, and prepared for defense.
Before today's game started, Shigehiro Mori had heard of Shinomiya Tōno. And since he entered high school, a large part of the various trainings coach Gao Tou gave him was defense, and the imaginary enemy of defense was Shinomiya Tanano of Lingnan High School.
Coach Takatou placed all the responsibility of containing Shinomiya's performance on Shigehiro Mori. Shinomiya, who was holding the ball outside the three-point line, was far behind Morishigehiro inside, who adjusted his position, hooked the corner of his mouth, and immediately dropped the ball.
With a burst of nitrogen acceleration, he was directly level with Mu Shen. Shinomiya's breakthrough speed was very fast, and Mu Shenyi hurriedly followed up, but he did not start in time, so Mu Shenyi, who was half a body behind, had lost the possibility of blocking Shinomiya and could only retreat. Secondly, from behind Shinomiya Tano, he reached for the ball.
However, just when Mu Shinichi was about to take out the basketball, Shinomiya, who was one step inside the three-point line, suddenly joined the ball, took two long steps, and instantly approached the paint area and came to Morishigehiro.
Immediately, using the momentum of his sprint, Shinomiya jumped up, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and looked at the basket. He actually ignored Mori Shigehiro and planned to shoot from this position.
"That guy from Shinomiya Fields, is he swollen?"
"Mori Shigehiro is not a stupid big guy with only an empty physique. This kid is very explosive!" Jinguji Budo was also stunned when he saw this scene. He did not expect Shinomiya Tano to rush straight towards Mori Shigehiro.
"Oh!" Morishigehiro, who had already taken his position, had a fierce look in his eyes. He raised his hands in the air and jumped up. His big hands covered the sky and the sun, and he pressed down hard on the basketball in Shinomiya Nono's hand.
"It's about to be blocked!" Sakuragi Hanamichi clenched his fists when he saw this scene and looked nervously at the court. He once saw the scene where Shinomiya was competing with Jinguji Budo on the court. Seeing that Shinomiya was about to be blocked by an unknown first-year player, he felt a little unbelievable for a moment.
However, just when Morishigehiro's big hand was about to press on the basketball, Shinomiya, who was grabbing the ball with one hand, suddenly swung the ball to the side and actually avoided Morishigehiro's block in the air.
At the same time, Shinomiya Tano still maintained the momentum of forward movement in the air, avoiding the block the next second, and his body was intertwined with Morishigehiro.
Only then did Shinomiya raise the ball again and shoot the ball. At this time, Mori Shigehiro had already fallen back to the ground. Mori Shigehiro, who had taken off from Shinomiya Tano, fell back to the ground first.
"Whoa!" After Mori Shigehiro landed, there was a crisp sound of the net swiping from behind. Mori Shigehiro also turned around and saw the basketball passing through the net and falling to the floor.
“ohhhhh!!”
"Hey! Did you see it? Did you see it?! Shinomiya Dano actually avoided the block in the air and then threw the ball into the basket?!"
"It's different from the traditional pull-up layup. This...is this a pull-up shot?!" In an instant, a new round of cheers erupted in the stands.
Shinomiya Tanano's wonderful aerial performance completely convinced the audience who were originally doubtful about Lingnan.
"Really... so exaggeratedly stuck in the air..." Sakuragi Hanamichi was originally worried that Shinomiya would be defeated by a first grader, but at this moment, his jaw dropped to the ground in shock.
Today's Sakuragi is not a rookie who doesn't know anything. After playing basketball for a long time, he knows very well what Shinomiya's staying in the air means.
Others have landed, but he is still in the air. This exaggerated air-suspension means terrible aerial combat capabilities, which also means that it is impossible for ordinary players to stop Shinomiya's attack.
"First grade, you're welcome."
"Get on your guard!" After scoring the goal, Shinomiya raised his fingers towards Mori Shigehiro, but in his eyes, there was no figure of Mori Shigehiro at all, and he did not take Mori Shigehiro into consideration at all!
Soon, Lingnan High School began to return to defense under the leadership of Shinomiya Tano. Morishigehiro, who was provoked by Shinomiya Tōno, was thinking about the opponent's attack just now and remained silent without speaking.
"I think Shinomiya should use mid-range shooting even if he attacks."
"But I didn't expect that he would play like this?!"
"How could you possibly stop that terrifying bounce and lag in the air?!" Coach Gaotou on the sidelines frowned at this moment, looking thoughtful.
Although Shinomiya just hit one ball, the gap can be seen from this one ball. Even Morishigehiro may not be able to stop the opponent!
"Hey, Budo, what do you think we would do if we met in Xiangbei?!" Mitsui Shou looked at the field with a solemn expression at this moment and asked the martial arts beside him.
He was also surprised by Shinomiya's operation. In the previous game with Shohoku, Shinomiya didn't seem to show much ability in this area. His attacks relied on pure strength, or mixed with a small amount of feints and attacks. projection.
Mitsui Hisashi has never seen this kind of offensive method that relies on bouncing and staying in the air to crush the opponent.
"How to deal with it? Just use how to defend yourself. Let Akagi go up to fight against him and consume his energy. If he can't do it anymore, call Nanxiang to come up. If Nanxiang can't do it anymore, let Sakuragi come up."
"It's just a first-year student. No matter how powerful he is, can he still be able to stop a wheel battle?"
"If things don't work out, I'll be double-teamed. I'll keep an eye on Amu while Miyagi steals the ball. This is the kind of person big men are most afraid of."
"As long as Akagi looks down! Everything is easy to talk about!" Budo replied casually after hearing Mitsui Hisashi's question. Morishigehiro Mori's ability is indeed pretty good, but Hainan wants to rely on such an insider to win the victory from their Shohoku?
That would be too simplistic.
"I'm not talking about him!"
"I'm talking about Shinomiya Tōno, how do you block that kind of attack?!"
"It didn't show up in the previous game against Shohoku. I didn't expect that Shinomiya Tano still has such a trump card!" Hisashi Mitsui said bitterly, seeming to be angry at Shinomiya Tano's hiding in the practice match.
"Oh...you mean Shinomiya Tōno!"
"In his case, this kind of projection can only be used on Mori Shigehiro."
"On my side, the effect has to be compromised."
"Speaking of which, Shinomiya Tano has shown it before, but maybe you didn't notice it."
"After all, compared with me, this guy's jumping and staying in the air do not form the crushing gap between him and Morishigehiro now."
"Hainan's defense against Shinomiya Tōno is of no reference to us." Budo said, looking towards the court.
At this time, on the basketball court, Lingnan High School made huge adjustments on the defensive end under the command of Shinomiya Tanano.
Akira Sendō and Shinomiya Tanoshi, who were originally responsible for guarding Kamisou Ichiro, switched defenses. At the same time, Hanagata no longer defended Takasago Kazuma on the inside. Instead, he was pulled to the outside to beat Kamizou Ichiro, while Shinomiya Tanoshi, who was originally guarding Mu Shinichi, , but at this time, he walked to the inside and stared at Takasago Kazuma.
Mu Shen, who advanced to the frontcourt, saw Lingnan's defensive change at a glance. After thinking for a moment, he immediately understood Lingnan's intention.
Hanagata, who was dunked by Morishige, didn't have much strength, but he had good speed and height, and was more than enough to defend Kamisou Ichiro.
And Shinomiya is a powerful player himself. His strength is much stronger than that of Uozumi. Moreover, he has speed and explosiveness, and can take care of Uozumi while keeping an eye on Takasago.
At this time, Xiandao Zhang, who came in front of Mu Shenyi, could compete with Mu Shenyi in terms of speed and strength. It would not be a problem to guard against Mu Shenyi alone. Although he could not be said to be blocking Mu Shenyi, he could contain him. Attack is more than enough.
This change of formation made Mu Shen become more cautious when playing the ball, and he did not dare to give the ball away easily. Mu Shenyi's hesitation was also seen by Xiandao Akira. He would not let go of such an opportunity. He struck decisively and pressed his body against Mu Shenyi. At the same time, he kept reaching out to try to steal, interfering with Mu Shenyi's dribbling. Rhythm.
The pressure on the defensive end suddenly increased, but Mu Shenyi did not dare to take the ball easily. At this moment, he could only choose to break through.
Mu Shenyi, who took a small step after holding the ball and found a short gap, suddenly accelerated in disguise and tried to pass Xiandao. However, Xiandao slipped and blocked the ball and directly collided with Mu Shenyi.
Mu Shenyi, whose path was blocked by the immortal path, had no intention of stopping. The ball protector pushed forward forcefully against the immortal path.
His strength is stronger than Immortal Dao, and his fighting style has changed dramatically from before.
"Ah Mu, be careful!" But just as Mu Shenyi and Xiandao were fighting, a loud shout suddenly came from Mu Shenyi's side.
But just as he finished speaking, a blue shadow jumped out from Mu Shen's side and directly hit the basketball in Mu Shen's hand.
"Fujima?!" The basketball was stolen. As soon as Mu Shen looked in the direction of the blue shadow and saw clearly who had completed the steal, his heart sank immediately.
Xiaoguan's threat to Fujima was too weak on the offensive end, leaving Fujima free to help other teammates!
"Quick break!" Fujima, who cut to the basketball, shouted, calling for his teammates to start a fast break. Sendō and Shinomiya, who were faster, had already started running. In the blink of an eye, Sendō had already crossed the center line, and Shinomiya also He had already passed Mu Shenyi and rushed towards the frontcourt.
With three on one in the frontcourt, it was impossible for the pursuing Mu Shen to stop Lingnan's fast break. As Xiandao scored a fast break layup, Lingnan High School added two more points to the scoreboard.
"That kid...isn't very active in returning to defense." When Sendō made a layup and scored the ball, Shinomiya and Sendō high-fived, and his eyes suddenly glanced at Morishigehiro, who had arrived late.
"Fujima, speed up, don't worry about Uozumi and Hanagata, turn up the speed." When returning to defense, Shinomiya whispered something in Fujima's ear, and then turned around with a smile and glanced at Coach Gaotou on the sidelines. , the pearl of wisdom is within your grasp.
The direction of the game began to change. Lingnan High School started to speed up crazily on the offensive end. With the trident of Fujima, Sendō, and Shinomiya Tōno, even without Uozumi and Hanagata on the offensive end, they could still easily break through Hainan's defense.
In the final analysis, Hainan's outside strength is really incomparable with Lingnan. When Lingnan increased his speed, Hainan had no way to resist. Even in a positional battle, Shinomiya Tano could still tear apart Hainan's defense line with his excellent personal ability.
Halfway through the game, Mori Shigehiro still received his third foul. Facing Shinomiya Nono, Shigehiro Mori's bouncing and staying in the air seemed a bit inadequate, and the defensive end was opened up by Shinomiya Nono.
The defense couldn't stop it, and Hainan's offense didn't play smoothly either. After Shinomiya entered the inside line, he put huge pressure on Morishigehiro. Morishugehiro, who was originally comfortable one-on-one, became very uncomfortable with the sudden appearance of Shinomiya.
It would be fine if the power of Sigong Tianye was inferior, but the bad thing is that the power of Sigong Tianye is just as terrifying.
The inside attack did not go smoothly. As soon as Mu Shen held the ball and attacked, he was harassed by Fujima for a long time. In response to this situation, coach Gao Tou replaced Xiao Guan, who lacked offensive threats, and replaced him with the third-year marksman Gong Yifan.
Although Gong Yi's defense was stretched, Coach Gao Tou considered that he couldn't guard Lingnan anyway, so he might as well give up defense and simply maximize the team's offense.
And Gong Yi's appearance also successfully restrained Tengzhen, so that Tengzhen did not dare to double-team Mu Shenyi easily. This also made Mu Shenyi much more comfortable on the offensive end. Hainan's offense was coordinated by Mu Shenyi. , started to operate.
However, Hainan, which was full of firepower, still lost to Lingnan High School. Halfway through the game, Hainan, which was not going well offensively and defensively, trailed Lingnan High School by 17 points, 34:51.
But at this time, all the plans and calculations in Coach Gao Tou's mind came to nothing, and the outcome of the game was no longer decided by him.
The gap in hard power cannot be made up by the technical and tactical level of the head coach. By the time the game ended, the score between the two teams had reached 66:103. The crushing score made the crown on the head of Hainan, the former king, completely dim.
However, Hainan's first-year player still attracted a lot of attention. Shigehiro Mori's outstanding statistics of 21 points and 12 rebounds also made many people pay attention to this big man.
This talented young man encountered Lingnan High School, which dominated the country, when he debuted, and he handed in an answer that surprised everyone.
