The match between Xiangbei High School and Hainan was in full swing.
As the game progressed, the players on both sides began to enter the game state. Apart from necessary exchanges, there was almost no other words between the players.
All the players on the field looked serious and devoted themselves to the game. However, except Jinguji Martial Arts.
At 18 minutes into the game, the score between the two teams reached 37:29. Xiangbei High School led its opponent by 8 points and still had the ball.
In the Hainan half, Jinguji Budo held the ball in the corner, carrying the ball with a leisurely look, not in a hurry to take action, and quietly waiting for the passage of time.
At this point in the competition, Jinguji Budo only had some beads of sweat on his face and arms, but his physical condition was still very good. In contrast, Mu Shenyi, who was responsible for leading the offense in this game and also shouldered the task of defending Jinguji Martial Arts alone, was in a somewhat embarrassing state at this time.
The jersey on his body was pressed tightly against Mu Shenyi's body, and the sweat on his forehead ran along the groove of his nose. It gathered at the tip of his chin and turned into sweat beads. It fell to the floor and splashed countless water droplets.
The next second, Jinguji Budo, who had been holding the ball sideways with a high center of gravity, suddenly dwarfed and changed his dribbling rhythm. Jinguji Budo's movements immediately made Mu Shen react. As soon as his steps were wrong, he was ready to follow up with a sliding step. The moment his center of gravity shifted, Jinguji Budo changed his direction in front of his body and instantly changed the direction of his attack. As he dropped the ball, , and his body instantly surpassed Mu Shenyi.
"Breakthrough!"
At the moment of Jinguji's martial arts breakthrough, Shigehiro Mori, who was standing in the middle distance, quickly took over. At the same time, Shinichi Mu, who was thrown away, quickly turned around to pursue him, forming a double team with Shigehiro Mori.
In this round of offense and defense, Hainan's defensive method was the epitome of their defensive tactics and strategies in Jinguji Temple throughout the first half.
Facing a player of Jinguji Budo's caliber, double-teaming is a necessary defensive method.
But it can also be seen from the point difference that Hainan's defensive method is only averagely effective for Hainan.
Facing the double-team between the two, Wu Dao's expression did not change, and there was still a faint smile on his face. Before the double-team between Mu Shenyi and Mori Shigehiro was completely formed, he jumped directly, but he did not jump to shoot for himself. , but for passing the ball.
It was a fake shot and a real pass. When Mori Shigehiro jumped up to try to block Budo's shot, he had already lost the possibility of intercepting Budo's pass.
The basketball hit Morishigehiro's feet and bounced rapidly toward the inside.
"Bang!" Takenori Akagi, who was occupying the inside line, caught the basketball steadily. The moment he took the ball, Kazuma Takasago's chest pressed against Akagi's back, preventing Akagi from turning around freely.
While Akagi took the ball, Sakuragi Hanamichi quickly ran to the left half of the paint area, opened his hands, and waited for Akagi's pass.
Only this time, the small manager who originally defended Miyagi Ryota on the outside had now moved inside and stood behind Sakuragi. However, Sakuragi Hanamichi did not notice the player behind him.
Nowadays, Sakuragi has played a lot of time, but he is still a little immature in terms of offense. He is not aware of similar situations at all.
Akagi, who was about to pass the ball to Sakuragi, immediately saw the eagerly watching Xiao Guan. Without hesitation, he directly dropped the ball and hit it with his back. Facing Takasago Kazuma, Takenori Akagi will not have any fear.
"Peng!"
The two big centers were physically confronting each other inside, and the collision of muscles made Akagi soar with adrenaline. After taking a step back from Takasago, he dropped the ball again with great force. At this time, Makoto Shinichi had also rushed towards the inside, and instead knocked Morishigehiro. Stay and watch out for Jinguji Martial Arts.
In this mid-range position, Mu Shenyi couldn't guard against Jinguji Budo, who was more than two meters tall. On the contrary, Mori Shigekan could play some role.
When Mu Shenyi moved towards the inside to make up for his position, Akagi's offense also changed. He relied on the gap created by two back shots to force a turn and layup. The defender's Takasago is similar in height to Akagi, and his jumping ability is worse than Akagi's. When facing Akagi's strong layup, he can only raise his arms to interfere.
"Snapped!"
"Uh-huh!"
The basketball hit the board and hit the net, and Akagi quickly fell back. However, just as he landed, his left foot stepped directly on the instep of Mu Shenyi, who was filling in and entering the paint.
"Uh-huh!
"
With a twist of his ankle, Akagi stumbled and fell to the floor.
"Akagi!"
"Gorilla!"
Takenori Akagi's sudden fall to the ground instantly affected the nerves of everyone in Shohoku. Hisashi Mitsui and Hanamichi Sakuragi in the bottom corner let out a low cry and quickly gathered around Takenori Akagi.
The referee at the bottom also noticed Akagi who was lying on the ground curled up and hugging his left foot, and immediately blew the whistle.
Official pause.
"What happened? Takenori Akagi suddenly collapsed?"
"Are you hurt?"
In the stadium, the Xiangbei players on the bench gathered towards the stadium. Mu Shenyi also took a deep look at Takenori Akagi, with some surprise in his eyes and more of an apology.
He didn't step on his feet on purpose, and if he wanted to step on his feet on purpose, he wouldn't step on Takenori Akagi's feet.
Jinguji Budo is such an outside player who likes to jump. If Mu Shen wanted to step in, he would have "increased the intensity" for Jinguji Budo. Moreover, the most important thing about Shohoku High School is not Akagi, but the ace, Jinguji Martial Arts.
In order to avoid conflicts, Mu Shenyi and the team members walked off the court and returned to their rest area after saying sorry to Akagi.
Takenori Akagi had no intention of blaming Mu Shinichi at this moment. At this time, he was frowning at the pain in his ankle.
I couldn't feel anything just now, but now that my body has calmed down, the pain is getting more and more intense.
With the support of the Shohoku team members, Akagi was sent down to the rest area. Shohoku High School did not have a professional team doctor, so Ayako brought some alcohol and quickly rubbed it on Akagi's ankle to cool down.
Takenori Akagi's injury caused a brief pause in the game, but the game will not stop because of an injury to one player. Coach Anzai quickly arranged for Nango Koichiro to be a substitute, and then asked Ayako and several Shohoku substitutes to send Akagi off the court to the Shohoku lounge.
Before the game restarted, Coach Anzai waved to Hisashi Mitsui and Budo Jinguji, and after they arrived in front of him, he said:
"I'm going to check on Akagi. There are two minutes left in the first half. The two of you are responsible for widening the point difference to more than 10 points."
“Keeping that advantage going into the second half.”
After saying this, Coach Anzai followed the departing Caiko, Akagi and others and left the venue.
But Budo and Mitsui Hisashi looked at each other and returned to the court.
After both players returned to the court, the referee blew the whistle and the game continued.
The ball rights turned into Hainan's hands.
Koichiro Nango, who came on as a substitute for Takenori Akagi, seemed a little nervous at the moment, but his nervousness was not because of the game, but because he was worried about Takenori Akagi who was injured and left.
"Nanxiang, relax."
"It's not your first time competing."
"Don't worry about Akagi. I think he still walked on just now. It is most likely just a sprain. No matter how serious it is, it will be fine in more than ten days."
"For you, this is an opportunity!"
"Fill the vacancy left by Takenori Akagi! I have to rely on you and Sakuragi, the two first-year insiders, in Shohoku!"
Hainan served in the backcourt, and before the opponent's attack came, Jinguji Budo, who was standing outside the three-point line, turned back and shouted to Nanxiang.
After being encouraged, Nango Koichiro breathed a heavy sigh of relief, calmed down his mood, and returned to his previous state. He looked at the Hainan people who were approaching quickly with burning eyes, full of fighting spirit.
There are 1 minute and 40 seconds left before the end of the game.
Hainan's rhythm began to speed up, hoping to use the last bit of time to narrow the point difference between the two teams as much as possible.
"Defense! Nanxiang, watch that Morishigehiro!"
As the Hainan team members approached, Wu Dao shouted and immediately approached Mu Shenyi. But this time, Mu Shenyi gave the ball to the small tube early before Wu Dao arrived.
At the same time, Kazuma Takasago and Shigehiro Mori entered the inside, and Xiao Guan used his height advantage to directly lob the ball to Mori Shigehiro inside.
"The conduction speed in Hainan has become faster."
"You have to fight hard in the last two minutes..."
Wu Dao looked at the basketball flying into the paint, and his heart sank immediately.
Without Takenori Akagi, Shobei's inside line seems a bit weak compared to Hainan. Maybe the two teams can achieve a 50-50 split in rebounding.
But without Akagi, Shohoku may not be able to stop Mori Shigehiro's inner struggles!
"Plop..."
Morishigehiro, who caught the ball inside, didn't make any extra moves. He simply turned around with the ball and knocked Nango Koichiro to the ground. He then jumped up, pulled a green onion from the ground, dunked with both hands, and poured the ball into the basket. among.
The referee did not blow the whistle and Mori Shigehiro did not commit a foul.
This is just a reasonable confrontation, but there is a big gap between Nango Koichiro's strength and Morishigehiro.
After knocking down Nango and scoring a slam dunk, Morishigehiro Morishige lowered his head and stared at Nanxiang for several seconds. Although he said nothing and showed no expression on his face, this move was too provocative.
"You...bastard!" Nango Koichiro quickly got up from the ground and cursed angrily as he looked at Morishigehiro's leaving figure.
At this time, Coach Gao Tou, who had seen this round of offense and defense, held the folding fan tightly in his hand, with a look of surprise on his face. He originally thought that Shohoku would send in the experienced Chiba Oishi after Takenori Akagi left the field, and he also knew Shohoku as a player.
Unexpectedly, the team member sent by Xiangbei was a first grader he didn't know!
And more importantly, this first-year student is obviously far from Mori Shigehiro's opponent. At least, in terms of strength, Mori Shigehiro is obviously more than one level higher than his opponent.
"Liberated! Akagi's fate has completely liberated Hiro! Shobei, welcome our attacking ghost from Hainan!"
"There is a chance! There is a real chance!
"
"As long as Hiro maintains this offensive efficiency, even if Jinguji Budo takes over the offensive ball again, we Hainan will still have a chance!"
"It can be done! It can definitely be done!"
"We in Hainan can definitely pass the county competition!"
Coach Gao Tou tried hard to suppress his emotions, but no matter how much he suppressed it, he still couldn't control the expression on his face.
Coach Taoka in the stands has obviously discovered the problems that Xiangbei High School is facing now, but he is still not optimistic about Hainan. When Shigehiro Mori dunked and scored, Coach Tianoka also noticed Coach Gaotou's uncontrollable joy, and couldn't help but curl his lips and reveal a sarcastic smile.
"Gao Tou...don't be too happy too early!"
"Having never really fought against today's Jinguji martial arts, you have no way of understanding the terror of your opponent!"
"Jinguji Martial Arts, in the world of high school basketball, you can really do whatever you want."
"Right away, right now you will be able to see the terror of your opponent! It will definitely scare you... Ha! Ha!"
Thinking of this, Coach Tian Gang couldn't help laughing.
On the court, offense and defense switch.
Morishigehiro easily scored a goal to bring the score back to single digits, which boosted Hainan's morale. On the Shohoku side, Akagi's fate also hit the morale of Shohoku High School to some extent. The absence of coach Anzai in the dugout also made the Xiangbei substitutes feel impetuous. At this moment, they tried their best to shout for the guy, hoping that the players on the field would get the score back quickly.
Coincidentally, Miyagi Ryota thought the same way and advanced much faster. However, when he brought the ball into the frontcourt and started to look for Jinguji Budo, he discovered that Jinguji Budo was actually very slow, and even the food had just stepped on it. Just crossed the center line.
"Martial arts, hurry up and get into position, counterattack!"
Miyagi couldn't help but urge.
"I'm coming!
Budo smiled and said something perfunctory. After he got into position, he turned sideways against Maki Shinichi and asked for the ball from Miyagi Ryota.
When the basketball came out, Mu Shen saw this and tried to push away Budo to grab the ball. However, Jinguji, who noticed the opponent's intention, took a step forward and stuck Mu Shen to his side again. Then he stretched out his hand and took the ball into his arms. .
"Amu, defend well!"
"Don't blink!"
Wu Dao held the ball sideways, then swept the ball quickly with a sideways step. While provoking Mu Shenyi, he inadvertently glanced at the attack time.
Mu Shenyi had watched the same feint action countless times, but every time, he had to move his body to follow up.
Jinguji Martial Arts is different from other mediocre people. Every feint he makes can be instantly transformed into a real attack. If there is no reaction, Jinguji Martial Arts will inevitably accelerate his breakthrough.
Sure enough, as soon as Mu Shen moved his position, Jinguji Budo immediately stepped back and dropped the ball, rushing in from Mu Shen's right side.
It was just a simple three-threat action, and Wu Dao found a gap for himself to advance.
However, when Mu Shen adjusted his position to pursue, the advancing Jinguji Martial Arts suddenly stopped. He thought that Jinguji Martial Arts was changing direction to break through, but he did not expect that Jinguji Martial Arts stopped the attack. Then he dribbled the ball quickly and returned to the three-point line.
"Huh?! What's going on?!"
"This guy clearly has an offensive opening. Whether he is passing the ball or attacking by himself, he has a chance!"
"Is it because Kuan is filling in for the position?!"
Mu Shen looked at Martial Arts in confusion. The next second, an idea flashed in his mind, and he glanced at the timer on the sidelines.
"13 seconds!"
"This guy is stalling for time!"
Mu Shen, who noticed this, no longer hesitated and stepped forward to press for him. At the same time, he shouted:
"Full-court press! Don't let them delay, grab the ball and let's score a few more goals!"
As soon as Mu Shenyi finished speaking, Jinguji Martial Arts quickly turned around and broke through Mu Shenyi. When his opponent followed up, he changed his hands under his hips to disguise himself, and then connected with continuous changes of direction in front of his body, mobilizing Mu Shenyi's defensive focus.
Jinguji Budo's powerful ball-holding ability made it impossible for Mu Shen to start. At the same time, Mu Shenyi also felt an unprecedented strong desire to attack from Jinguji Budo.
"He will definitely hit this ball by himself!"
Mu Shenyi was ready, and seeing that the attack time was about to run out, Jinguji Budo suddenly held the ball with his back to the basket, took a shoulder cover, and then back up, completely ignoring Mu Shenyi, and shot directly.
Even if Mu Shenyi tried his best, Wu Dao's shot could not be reached. The basketball flew directly over Mu Shenyi's head and flew towards the basket.
"Uh-huh!"
At the same time as the crisp sound of the net sounded, 28 seconds had just elapsed in the 30-second attack time.
With almost perfect control, Jinguji Martial Arts attacks at exactly the right time!
"hehe!"
"really!"
"Gao Tou, you have to resist!"
In the stands, Coach Taoka crossed his arms on his chest, looking as expected and smiling brightly.
