Shohoku High School, with Sakuragi Hanamichi as the core of the offense, began to play an offensive approach that had never been shown before.
He is clearly one of the top players in the country, but in the game against Hainan High School, he used first-year Sakuragi Hanamichi as the main attacker.
The ball possession alternated, and it was the turn to Shohoku High School to attack.
Miyagi Ryota held the ball and marched from the backcourt to the frontcourt, but this time, Miyagi did not choose to pass the ball to Jinguji Budo.
After entering the frontcourt, Miyagi Ryota found that Hainan's defensive focus seemed to have shifted dramatically.
When Jinguji Budo stood in the corner, Mori Shigehiro on the inside was also moved to the mid-range position, ready to defend Mu Shinichi at any time, and faintly let go of Takenori Akagi on the inside.
At the same time, the player who was defending Miyagi, known as Xiao Guan, also looked at Jinguji Martial Arts not far away from time to time, not focusing on Miyagi Ryota at all.
This made Miyagi feel underestimated.
"You bastard, how dare you look down on me!"
Miyagi Ryota was furious when he saw the opponent's absent-minded look. When he reached the top of the key, he did not play the triangle attack as planned. Instead, he quickly accelerated his breakthrough. In the blink of an eye, he directly crossed the small tube and broke into the inside.
This sudden change made all the Hainan players look sideways. Morishigehiro, who originally planned to defend Jinguji Budo, hesitated for a moment, but actually ignored Miyagi Ryota who broke into the inside and still guarded his position.
And Miyagi Ryota, who successfully broke into the inside, threw the ball directly before Kazuma Takasago's defense was in place and sent the ball into the basket.
"Hmph! Don't underestimate me! Hainan!"
Miyagi Ryota, who scored the goal, roared excitedly, beat his chest hard, and then high-fived Akagi and Sakuragi who ran up.
"Miyagi is in pretty good shape today too!"
"I have been focusing on Sakuragi so far, but I haven't noticed Miyagi Ryota's growth during this period!"
"The person in Hainan should not be able to guard against Miyagi, so he must take advantage of Miyagi's advantage."
Although Miyagi Ryota did not follow the established tactics, the results achieved were very ideal. Martial Arts also noticed that Miyagi's desire to attack today was much stronger than before, and he thought about giving Miyagi some opportunities to perform.
After Shohoku High School returned to defense, Mu Shenyi caught the ball in the backcourt and advanced with the ball. He expected the strength of Shohoku High School. From the beginning, Mu Shenyi did not expect that his team's small manager could defend Miyagi alone. The advance of fertile fields.
But what surprised him was that Morishigehiro didn't go to cover up the defense, but stood there. In this way, Miyagi had a chance to throw from close range.
】
"Hiro, when Miyagi Ryota breaks through, go and make up your position. You don't need to take off, just stretch your hands."
"There is a big height difference between you and him. Just raise your hands and you can put huge pressure on him."
"Pay attention to the opponent passing the ball to Akagi. There is no need to keep pushing Jinguji Budo."
"No matter how inferior I am to Jinguji Martial Arts, I will never be so weak that I can barely defend you!"
When Mori Shigekuan passed by Mu Shenyi and ran to the frontcourt, Mu Shenyi quickly spoke to Mori Shigekuan.
Hearing this, Morishigehiro nodded and crossed the center line with long strides.
As Mu Shenyi approached the three-point line with the ball, Jinguji Budo walked directly from the three-point line and came directly in front of Mu Shenyi.
"Pick and roll!"
Facing Jinguji Martial Arts' defense, Mu Shen didn't hesitate at all. He made a pick-and-roll gesture and shouted to his teammates.
Kazuma Takasago on the inside received the order and quickly moved up to prepare for the pick-and-roll. While Kazuma Takasago was moving, Maki Shinichi used continuous crotch dribbling to mobilize the defensive direction of Jinguji Budo.
While Takasago Ichima landed on the right side of the martial arts path, Mu Shenyi quickly adjusted his posture and accelerated his breakthrough.
"Sakuragi, look at your own people!"
Jinguji Budo bypassed Kazuma Takasago's pick-and-roll and cut across the middle to intercept Mu Shinichi. However, at this time, Mu Shinichi, who broke through with the ball, made a direct pass and gave the ball to the man in the right position under the basket. Shigehiro Mori.
One versus one inside!
"Eat him by force! Kuan!"
Coach Gaotou on the sidelines saw Mori Shigehiro had a one-on-one opportunity and immediately shouted loudly.
In fact, he didn't need to remind him at all. The moment Shigehiro Mori got the basketball, his strength had already exploded. All the muscles in his body tightened instantly. When the ball dropped, his body leaned hard against Takenori Akagi's body. The huge The power made Chimu's breath stagnant, and he took two steps back.
The next second, Morishigehiro, who was free, actually turned around, quickly passed Takenori Akagi, easily entered the inside, and raised the ball in a shooting posture.
Although Akagi's center of gravity was unstable and he was pushed back half a step by the opponent, he still had the strength to pursue. At this time, when he saw Morishigehiro raising the ball and preparing to shoot, he jumped up and blocked the shot without hesitation.
However, the moment he just stood up, a smile of unknown meaning appeared on Morishigehiro's face. He was calm and focused, with no intention of shooting at all.
"Fake action!?"
Akagi noticed Mori Shigehiro's movements, but when Akagi fell, Mori Shigehiro actually took the initiative to push up against Akagi Takenori.
Akagi, who was falling, subconsciously reached out and pulled the basketball in Morishigehiro's hand, but he didn't touch the basketball at all. Instead, it hit Morishigehiro's arm. At the same time, Mori Shigehiro's momentum was not affected at all. After reaching the highest point, he dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.
The moment the basketball entered the net, the referee's sharp whistle sounded. The linesman made a hand gesture and looked at Takenori Akagi.
Before the referee could make a decision, Takenori Akagi raised his hand consciously.
2+1.
Facing Takenori Akagi, Hainan's first-year center actually scored two plus one and successfully got to the free throw line.
"well done!
Ah Kuan!
"
Coach Gao Tou had completely thrown away his "wisdom teaching" demeanor at this moment. He pumped his fist hard and praised loudly, appearing full of passion.
"Akagi..." Shigehiro Mori walked to the free throw line. Hisago Mitsui was about to comfort Akagi Takenori with a few words, but Akagi reached out to stop him. Then Akagi stood on the sideline of the paint area, ready to grab a rebound.
"If you follow O'Neal's example, this kid shouldn't be very good at free throws, right?"
"I didn't take many free throws in the previous game against Lingnan, and I remember the shooting percentage was average."
Budo stood outside the three-point line, watching Shigehiro Mori on the free throw line executing free throws, and secretly groaned in his heart.
But as soon as such a thought came into his mind, Mori Shigekwan slapped Budo in the face with practical actions.
"Shua!" There was a crisp sound, and another point was added to the scoreboard of Lingnan High School.
"hiu——"
Seeing Shigehiro Mori score, Budo couldn't help but whistle, a little surprised. Mori Shigehiro, who was returning to defense, glanced at Budo, ignored Budo and went back to defense. As Mori Shigehiro left, Hainan's players began to return to the field to defend.
The inside was beaten 2+1 by Morishigehiro, and Akagi's face turned as black as charcoal.
Although he knew that Shigehiro Mori was an outstanding center, how could he still look good after being beaten two plus one like this?
"Miyagi!" Takenori Akagi was not convinced and shouted towards Miyagi. Before he could say what he was going to say next, Martial Arts interrupted him directly:
"Akagi, if you want the ball, don't say anything!"
"Coach Anxi has already made the tactical arrangements for this game before the game!"
"Currently our attack in Xiangbei is going quite smoothly!"
"You...understand what I mean?!"
Akagi opened his mouth when he heard the words, but finally chose to remain silent and did not argue for himself. After serving the ball quickly, he ran towards the frontcourt with both anger and depression on his brows. But this anger is not directed at Jinguji Martial Arts, but at Sakuragi Hanamichi!
"Sakuragi! You have to... attack well!"
"While passing by Sakuragi Hanamichi, Akagi Takenori said viciously in Sakuragi's ear.
Sakuragi Hanamichi didn't seem to feel the dissatisfaction in Takenori Akagi's tone, thinking that Akagi was encouraging him, and responded with a smile: "Of course!"
Mitsui Hisashi couldn't help but shook his head with that stupid look.
The offense and defense alternated, and Xiangbei launched an attack from the backcourt.
Although Budo told Takenori Akagi not to go against the tactics formulated by Coach Anzai, how could Budo not understand Takenori Akagi's mood at this time? Being beaten two plus one, if it were martial arts himself, he would definitely retaliate and regain his place.
Martial Arts also wanted to give Akagi a chance for revenge, but he could never explicitly agree to Akagi's request.
He was afraid that Akagi would fall into competition with Mori Shigehiro.
To be honest, Budo is not optimistic about Takenori Akagi. He does not think that Akagi can get any benefits from Mori Shigehiro.
What Uozumi couldn't do, it wasn't easy for Akagi to do it.
After Miyagi Ryota entered the frontcourt, he chose to throw the ball to Jinguji Budo. Previously, he scored a goal through his personal ability. The manager was obviously a little wary of Miyagi. Not only the manager, but also Morishigehiro's eyes were aimed at Miyagi Ryota, intentionally or unintentionally.
The keen Miyagi knew that Hainan was interested in him, so he simply didn't play alone and gave the ball to Budo.
Jinguji Budo, who was running to catch the ball, stopped the moment he took possession of the basketball. Mu Shinichi's defensive posture in front of him was a little too focused, as if he was wary of his own pull-up.
"With such a straight waist, how can you guard against me?!"
Martial Arts chuckled, and as he spoke, he moved his right foot laterally, making a breakthrough gesture.
Sure enough, Mu Shen, who was extremely afraid of the martial arts of Jinguji Temple, suddenly lost his focus, but he did not move blindly, fearing that it was a feint from the martial arts.
As soon as Mu Shen lowered his center of gravity, Wu Dao stepped back to collect the ball, lifted the ball and shot a feint. Wu Dao's movements once again aroused Mu Shenyi's alert, and he quickly raised his hands to interfere.
However, the moment Mu Shen lifted the ball, Wu Dao blasted the ball and turned his back. While turning his back, he changed hands with his back in an instant, and turned sideways to break through in the next second.
The strange dribbling changes and unexpected breakthrough movements caused a brief delay in Mu Shenyi's judgment.
By the time Mu Shenyi came to his senses, Jinguji Martial Arts had already passed Mu Shenyi and rushed towards the inside line.
Morishigehiro, who was in the middle distance, was well prepared and quickly stepped up to cover the defense while martial arts advanced. Takasago Kazuma also decisively let go of Sakuragi Hanamichi at this moment and moved to Akagi Takenori's side.
Attacking Martial Arts with the ball soon faced Hainan's second blocking line.
Facing Mori Shigehiro, who was similar in height to himself, his martial arts speed did not slow down. When he was about to hit Mori Shigehiro, he suddenly turned around and accelerated to break through.
The fast and smooth breakthrough movement made the Hainan substitutes off the court unable to help but be stunned. The audience in the stands had already burst into enthusiastic cheers when Wu Dao broke through Mu Shenyi's defense. After the martial arts breakthrough Mori Shigehiro, the cheers were even louder by several decibels.
Jinguji Budo, who broke into the paint, looked at the basket and jumped up. At the moment he took off, two loud shouts suddenly sounded from behind Budo.
"Don't even think about it!"
“Madamada!
! "
The two loud shouts were actually from Mori Shigehiro and Mu Shenichi. The two people were thrown away by Budao one after another, but they came behind Budao at the moment when Budao was about to lay up. Not only the two of them, Takasago Kazuma under the basket has been attracted by Budo who broke into the inside. At this time, he also completely let Akagi go, raising his arms in front of Budo to block.
"Surrounded by three people!"
"Senior martial arts fell into Hainan's trap!
! "
On the sidelines, Nobunaga Kiyota exclaimed when he saw this scene.
However, at this moment, Jinguji Budo, who was raising the ball for a layup, suddenly collected the ball, made a side pass, and easily sent the ball out of the circle surrounded by the three Hainan players!
"What?!"
"Passed the ball?!"
"How can it be?!"
The Hainan substitute players on the sidelines were each more surprised. Under the dull eyes of everyone, the basketball fell into Sakuragi Hanamichi's hands smoothly.
Sakuragi looked straight when he took the ball, looked directly at the basket, raised the ball, bent his knees, jumped slightly, and shot a two-stage shot from near the basket.
"It feels...so good!"
The moment the basketball was released, Sakuragi Hanamichi had a premonition that the ball would be scored. Seeing the basketball fall into the basket, Sakuragi had a bright smile on his face.
"Nice shot, Sakuragi!"
"well done!"
"It seems that the shooting training was really not in vain, well done!"
Seeing that Sakuragi scored with a shot, Takenori Akagi and Ryota Miyagi praised him one after another. Hisaya Mitsui walked up to Sakuragi and patted Sakuragi on the back and praised him.
Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was surrounded by his teammates, laughed and praised his teammates.
Rukawa Kaede in the audience looked at Sakuragi who was surrounded by seniors in the center, curled his lips in disdain, and whispered to himself: "Everyone is attracted by the martial arts seniors, so I can do it."
"Being able to pass the ball calmly under such circumstances...that guy from Jinguji Martial Arts is really awesome!"
In the corner of the stands, Akira Sendō couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Jinguji Budō who was returning to defense on the field.
"I'm even more surprised that this guy would choose to pass the ball...According to this guy's ability and character, he will never miss this one-on-three opportunity!"
"And did you notice just now that the moment Jinguji Budo hit the ball was also when he reached his highest point? Mori Shigehiro and Maki Senichi behind him couldn't cover him at all, and Takasago Kazuma in front of him didn't even jump. "
"The guy who can definitely score a goal actually chose to pass the ball... Is that guy still the Jinguji Martial Arts I know?!"
"Or...what's the conspiracy in Xiangbei?"
Shinomiya's perception is completely different from that of Sendō. Sendō was surprised that Jinguji Budō could pass the ball out in that situation, but Shinomiya was surprised that Jinguji Budō didn't choose to take action himself.
And Shinomiya Tano has also seen that in today's competition, Jinguji Martial Arts was very restrained, but now, he still doesn't know what the purpose of Jinguji Martial Arts is.
"Haha, can't you see it yet?!"
"Jinguji Martial Arts is training in Hainan!
"
"The one I practice is Sakuragi Hanamichi!"
Coach Taoka looked at Jinguji Martial Arts in the field with burning eyes, and couldn't help but sigh:
"He is really... an arrogant guy!"
