His breakthrough was thwarted, and seeing Jinguji Martial Arts doing whatever he wanted in his backcourt, Mu Shen's face suddenly darkened.
The ominous premonition before the game came true at this moment. The personal strength of Jinguji Martial Arts has improved to a higher level than last year.
"Jinguji martial arts is very high, but even though he has grown so much, he is still so agile."
"If there was any flaw in my breakthrough move just now, it was only at the moment of dribbling in the air."
"Even if it was such a fleeting opportunity, he still grasped it."
"This guy... is very difficult to deal with!"
"I have to be very careful with every next shot!"
After Jinguji Budo returned to the backcourt to defend, Mu Shenyi returned to his own half and took the basketball from his teammates. Slowly advance forward with the ball.
Jinguji martial arts gave him a very strong sense of oppression, which made Mu Shenyi become more cautious.
One-fifth of the attack time had passed, and Mu Shenyi slowly entered the frontcourt with the ball. At this time, other Hainan players had also completed their positions. When Mu Shenyi approached the top of the arc, the gods not far away Soichiro quickly moved up and wanted to help Mu Shenyi in the pick-and-roll.
Although the second-year Kamizou Ichiro did not have a certain tactical position in the team until this year, this young man cannot be said to have little game experience. Compared with players like Sakuragi Hanamichi, Kamizou's physical fitness is mediocre, but there is one thing that Kamizou Ichiro is very good at, and that is his golf intelligence.
A good football intelligence allows Kamizou Ichiro to see through the weaknesses of the opponent's defense during the game, and at the same time, he can make up for some deficiencies in his own offense and defense in time.
Coupled with his accurate three-pointers, Kamizou Ichiro has the capital to stay on the court.
Before facing Lingnan High School and Shohoku High School, Kamizou Ichiro was able to average 33 points per game.
At this time, Shenzong Ichiro also noticed that Mu Shenyi seemed to be struggling to face the Jinguji martial arts alone, and decisively provided support to Mu Shenyi.
"Pick and roll..."
When Budao was defending Mu Shenyi, he also noticed Kamizou Ichiro's movement. After a moment of thinking, he chose to bypass Kamizou Ichiro's pick-and-roll.
Mu Shenyi does not have the ability to shoot long three-pointers. In this position, Wu Dao only needs to beware of the opponent's breakthrough.
As the figures intertwined, Mu Shenyi quickly crossed the three-point line and reappeared in front of Martial Arts. At the same time, Mu Shenyi intentionally or unintentionally jammed Mitsui Hisashi's position, allowing Mitsui Hisashi to pursue Shenzou Ichiro. The pace slowed down.
When Mu Shenyi reappeared in front of Wu Dao, Wu Dao suddenly discovered that there was no trace of the basketball in Mu Shenyi's hand.
"Um?!"
Quickly looking in the direction of Kamizou Ichiro, Budo happened to find that Kamizou Ichiro had already raised the ball in a shooting posture, and Mitsui Hisashi was still nearly one meter away from the opponent at this time.
"Damn it, don't even think about taking action!"
Mitsui Hisashi pursued desperately, and finally arrived in front of Kamizune Ichiro a second before he took action, jumped up, and tried to block Kamizune Ichiro's shot.
However, Mitsui Hisashi's jump really gave Kamizou Ichiro a chance.
This soft-looking boy is not just a stupid open jumper, Mitsui Hisashi, he underestimated his opponent too much!
"Fake!? This kid knows I can keep up?"
Ichiro Kamizou, who was lifting the ball, suddenly collected the ball. After dribbling the ball, he took a diagonal step in the opposite direction. In an instant, he and Hisashi Mitsui were in position, and at the same time, he quickly raised the ball and threw it.
The beautiful and standard shooting posture attracted a burst of applause from the audience in the stands.
"Whoa!" As the basketball hit the net, there was a soft sound, and three points were added to Hainan's scoreboard.
】
"Beautiful! God!"
"Good shot! He actually blocked Shobei's Mitsui Hisashi and made a three-pointer! God, this three-pointer is so crucial!"
Ichiro Kamizou's three-pointer into the net made Hainan's bench cheer. All the players waved towels and shouted excitedly.
Mitsui Hisashi tapped the floor with his toes in displeasure, stretched his calf muscles that had been tightened from the full pursuit, and looked at Kamisou Ichiro who was returning to defense.
"Hey, mistress, can this level of fakery fool you?"
Jinguji Budo, who was standing not far away, smiled and teased, making Mitsui Shou's expression freeze.
"Asshole, if that middle-aged man hadn't blocked my position, I would have had plenty of time to make a calm judgment."
"Kamisoichiro's shooting form is very beautiful and he is an excellent shooter."
"Hainan's pick-and-roll tactics can bring out his three-point ability. If we encounter this situation again, we will switch defenses."
Mitsui Hisashi and Jinguji Budo ran toward the frontcourt while exchanging defensive strategies.
Generally speaking, the best way for the defender to deal with the pick-and-roll is to pick and roll, but Jinguji Budo relies on his terrifying foot strength, even if he is slightly delayed by the pick-and-roll player, he can still keep up with Mu Shenyi. Such a direct follow-up, Mu Shinichi really didn't get a chance to make a move.
But on the other hand, Shenzong Ichiro on the pick-and-roll side can use Mu Shenyi to get some openings.
Although Mitsui Hisashi is also very fast, Mu Shenyi's obstruction will have some impact on him after all. When Mitsui Hisashi came to Kamizou Ichiro, he would hardly be given time to think.
Faced with this situation, switching defense is actually the most appropriate defensive strategy.
Moreover, Hisashi Mitsui defended Maki Shinichi alone and would not be crushed by the opponent.
"Yeah, okay."
"Then just switch to defense."
"Once Mu Shen is targeted, Hainan will focus on Mori Shigehiro and Kamizou Ichiro."
"As long as the remaining two are sealed, there will be no suspense in this game."
As Budo spoke, he crossed the center line, and he and Hisashi Mitsui also ran to the same side. Budo stood in the corner, and Hisashi Mitsui sank into the bottom corner, still planning to attack in the triangle attack.
After Hanamichi Sakuragi and Takenori Akagi entered the frontcourt, they quickly cut inside. Miyagi quickly gave the ball to Jinguji Budo before the opponent's defense came up.
Jinguji Budo, who received the ball from outside the three-point line, did not directly pass the ball to Hanamichi Sakuragi this time. After taking the ball sideways, he quickly swept the ball and faced the basket and faked a fake shot, which aroused Mu Shen's vigilance. He raised his defensive focus and quickly dropped the ball.
"This time, are you going to attack yourself?!"
"Sure enough, I thought too much. The main attacker of Xiangbei High School is still this guy!"
Mu Shenyi's mind was racing as he chased Jinguji Martial Arts.
Suddenly, the advancing Jinguji Budo paused. He dribbled the ball under his hips and quickly adjusted the direction of the breakthrough. Just as Mu Shenyi also stopped suddenly to adjust his defensive direction, Jinguji Budou stopped suddenly and continued. Two quick changes of direction in front of the body, and the next second, the ball was passed directly from one side of the body.
"What?!"
Mu Shenyi had already exposed a huge gap on the defensive end. He thought that Jinguji Budo would use this to break through or make a pull-up. Unexpectedly, Jinguji Budo actually passed the ball.
When Jinguji Budo fired the ball, Shigehiro Mori had already moved up the post. He originally wanted to help Mu Shen defend against Jinguji Budo's advance. Unexpectedly, he had just left his position and the basketball fell from his position. He quickly passed by and passed directly to Takenori Akagi under the basket.
Taking the ball, Takenori Akagi dribbled the ball once and suddenly rose up with the ball, preparing for a slam dunk. He just jumped together, and Takasago Kazuma, who was filling in, was already in place, raising his hand high and pressing the basketball.
Takenori Akagi just dribbled the ball without taking a direct shot, giving Kazuma Takasago the opportunity to defend in place!
"snort!"
Takenori Akagi, who was about to be blocked by Kazuma Takasago, suddenly let out a mocking snort. In the air, his arms holding the ball quickly dropped and passed directly down to Hanamichi Sakuragi, who was wide open at this time.
"What?!"
Takasago Kazuma let out a surprised cry when he saw this, and quickly turned his head after landing. However, what came into view at this time was Sakuragi Hanamichi's figure flying into the air with the ball.
"Bang!"
After dunking with both hands, Hanamichi Sakuragi's body collided with Kazuma Takasago's body, pushing Takasago back two steps. Looking at Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was grabbing the basket with both hands, Takasago Kazuma knew that he had been tricked by Takenori Akagi. He had chosen to dribble and hit the ground just now when he clearly had a chance to take a direct shot. It was clearly to trick him into covering up the defense. Just making balls for the red-haired first grader.
"well done!"
Takenori Akagi showed a rare smile and fist-bumped with his opponent after Sakuragi Hanamichi landed.
Today Shohoku plans to build a new triangle attack with Sakuragi Hanamichi as the core, and the core of this triangle attack is not Jinguji Budo, nor Mitsui Hisashi, but Sakuragi Hanamichi, who is the most immature and has the least offensive means.
Akagi didn't understand it when he first got the news, but now that coach Anzai has made a decision, he will cooperate.
Taking the initiative to play for Sakuragi, I purely hope that such a goal can bring enough self-confidence to Sakuragi, allowing Sakuragi to fully utilize his talents and potential.
This has nothing to do with him being Haruko Akagi's brother...
"It's not bad, that's it, steady and steady!"
Wu Dao clapped his hands and also encouraged him.
When Mu Shen looked at the people leaving Xiangbei, he couldn't help but feel guilty.
Jinguji Budo and Takenori Akagi successively gave balls to the red-haired first grader. Is it possible that the purpose of this game at Shohoku High School was to train that first grader?
"Amu, organize the attack and maintain our Hainan offensive rhythm!"
"Find a way to give the ball to Hiro, and don't worry about Jinguji martial arts!"
Off the court, Coach Gao Tou stood on the sidelines and shouted loudly toward the court. The game had just begun and the current situation was still within his control.
As long as Hainan can stabilize its offense, the outcome of this game is still uncertain!
Mu Shen turned his head and glanced at Coach Gao Tou, then nodded silently.
After receiving the ball in the backcourt, Mu Shenyi began to advance with the ball. Mu Shenyi's advancement was not fast and he was pressed at the back of the team. The standard positional battle rhythm not only lengthened the offensive gap, but also gave the striker players more time to adjust and rest.
Although the game had just begun, Mu Shenyi still controlled the rhythm.
Soon, Hainan's new round of attack came.
Mu Shen, who had no way to break out alone, did not hesitate and directly called his teammates for help. This time, Takasago Kazuma on the inside came to the outside to provide a high pick and roll. Budo did not switch defense with Sakuragi and still chose to bypass it. The pick-and-roll gives some advance time to enter the mid-range early to guard against Mu Shenyi's breakthrough.
This time, Budo stood a little too inside. After Takasago's pick-and-roll, Mu Shenyi took a step inside the three-point line and actually chose a high-post long shot.
"Long shot?!"
"Mu Shenyi can still shoot long-term?"
It’s no wonder that Jinguji Martial Arts was surprised, because the Mu Shenyi he knew was not good at long-range shots. Even when facing a strong enemy like Lingnan High School, Mu Shenyi had almost no long-range shots. Martial Arts didn’t think that Mu Shenyi was good at long-range shots. Without a chance, I simply felt that Mu Shenyi was incompetent.
"Uh-huh!"
However, a crisp sound of the net coming from behind made Wu Dao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"You actually got in?!"
Wu Dao murmured in surprise, then came back to his senses and shook his head mockingly.
He seems to be a little inflated. No matter how you say it, Maki Shinichi is one of the best point guards in Kanagawa Prefecture, and he is Hainan's trump card. He has good shooting ability. Even if his long-range shooting rate is not as high as that of players like Jinguji Budo , if you still can't make a shot in such a big open space, it would be a disgrace to Mu Shenyi's status.
"Sorry, mine."
Wu Xian said apologetically to his teammates, and then quickly ran towards the frontcourt.
Mu Shinichi's goal did not affect Shohoku High School's offense. Under the leadership of Jinguji Budo, Shohoku began to organize the offense.
Like Hainan, Xiangbei is also a fighting position, and the pace is not fast, giving the audience a slow feeling.
After arriving in the frontcourt, Miyagi Ryota still quickly passed the ball to Budo, while he stood at the top of the arc, neither running for air cuts nor helping with pick-and-rolls, but simply... watching. As if he were an outsider.
Wu Dao still held the ball outside the three-point line, holding the basketball above his head, lowering his head and looking at Mu Shenyi who was calm and focused on defense.
"This is not okay!"
"This guy seems to be sure that I can't shoot, why is my center of gravity so low?!"
Wu Dao didn't know what Mu Shenyi was thinking, but he didn't want to miss such an opportunity.
Without any extra movement, just pull out your hand.
Jinguji Budo didn't seem to worry at all about Mu Shen blocking him, and he didn't even make any extra feints.
But the fact is that for a player with Wu Dao's height, wingspan and jumping ability, there is really no need to worry too much about playing a 184cm defender with a calm center of gravity.
The physical talent is the absolute difference between the two!
"Ugh!
"
Without any pressure, Jinguji Budo hit a three-pointer directly. As a soft sound rang out, the audience in the stands cheered.
Being shot by Jinguji Martial Arts, Mu Shen's expression did not change at all, which was expected.
"Am I overthinking..." Mu Shen pondered for two seconds, then stopped thinking about it and said to Mori Shigehiro while catching the ball:
"Kuan, go as planned."
"From now on, we must defend against Xiangbei's attack!"
Between offense and defense, Hainan launched a new round of offensive. It was still a pick-and-roll tactic with no change, and the pick-and-roll was still Takasago Kazuma, but this time, Mu Shenyi passed the ball back to Takasago after the breakthrough. Takasago missed a strong shot from the mid-range against Sakuragi's defense, and the rebound However, the ball was held by Mori Shigehiro and he finished the game with a low hook.
After Hainan's several rounds of attacks, Xiangbei also figured out the opponent's offensive methods, but the defensive strategy did not change.
On the offensive end, Xiangbei started to play tricks.
