In the middle of the match between Shohoku High School and Hainan, as Takenori Akagi left the field due to injury, coach Gao Tou saw the hope of Hainan's victory. And Shigehiro Mori's dunk over Shohoku substitute center Koichiro Nango made Coach Takatou even more determined on this idea.
However, Shigehiro Mori only scored a slam dunk with his front foot, and Shohoku High School counterattacked with his back foot.
Jinguji Budo pressed the attack time and completed a difficult fadeaway jumper against Mu Shenyi's defense, which made Coach Gaotou's heart sink again. He originally thought that Akagi's absence would completely liberate Mori Shigehiro and help the team win the game.
But what Coach Gaotou didn't expect was that Takenori Akagi's departure would also give Jinguji Martial Arts a sense of crisis.
What Coach Gaotou could detect, Jinguji Martial Arts also noticed.
Although Nango Koichiro is also a talented insider, but that is only compared to ordinary insiders.
Facing a player like Mori Shigehiro, Nango Koichiro's few talents are obviously not enough.
Although Hanamichi Sakuragi had some advantages in the matchup with Kazuma Takasago, his advantage was not obvious, especially on the defensive end. It was difficult for Sakuragi to be distracted to help Nango defend Shigehiro Mori.
The huge gap inside makes the balance of victory tilt towards Hainan High School. If Hainan can make good use of its inside advantage, it is not impossible to defeat Xiangbei.
It is precisely because Hainan now has the advantage in the interior that Budo has also given up the idea of letting Sakuragi Hanamichi continue to attack.
From now on, he will personally take over the offensive task and ensure that Xiangbei High School can win this game!
The leaning back just now was just the beginning.
Offense and defense alternated, and the ball returned to Hainan's hands again. With 1 minute and 12 seconds left before the end of the first half, the score of the two teams was temporarily fixed at 41:31, with the point difference reaching 10 points.
Coach Gao Tou's expectation for the half-time game is to narrow the point difference to less than ten points. If possible, it is best to reduce the point difference to less than five points. As long as this can be done, Shigehiro Mori, who has recovered some strength after the halftime break, can show off his talents in the second half and make up for the five-point difference. It is definitely not a problem.
"Amu, there is still plenty of time, don't worry!"
"Play steadily, control every ball, and mainly attack the inside of Xiangbei!"
At this moment, Coach Gao Toou could no longer sit quietly on the sidelines and watch the game. He stood up and walked to the side of the court and shouted towards Mu Shenyi, who was organizing the offense in the middle of the court.
In fact, there is no need for Coach Gao Tou to remind him. With Mu Shenyi’s experience in the game, how could he not know that he should play steadily at this time.
Although he is not very old, he is still known as Mu Shenyi, a middle-aged man. His calmness has been engraved in his bones.
】
Slowly dribbling the ball into the frontcourt, quietly waiting for his inside line to be positioned in the half court of Shohoku High School.
After consuming about 11 seconds of attack time, Mu Shen began to call for a pick-and-roll.
The corner guard moved quickly to pick and roll, and Miyagi Ryota followed up behind the guard.
Jinguji Budo noticed the person who was blocking the roll, and opened his position with Mu Shen in advance. When Mu Shen Yi used the screen to attack, he was already standing in Mu Shen Yi's path in advance.
Facing Jinguji Budo's defense, Mu Shenyi did not choose to head-first and quickly passed the ball back to the hands of the small tube. The latter took the ball without any luck and lobbed it directly towards the inside.
Miyagi Ryota's hands and feet are very fast. If the opponent tries to break out alone, he has a great chance to complete the steal. But if the passer passes the ball directly, the height gap between him and the opponent makes it difficult for Miyagi Ryota to block it. He can only watch the basketball fly over his head and fall into the hands of Morishigehiro inside.
Nango Koichiro, who was guarding Morishigehiro, had actually seen through Hainan High School's passing intention. At the same time, he also tried to get in front of Morishigehiro and intercept him in advance to prevent Morishigehiro from receiving the ball.
But what's annoying is that every time he tries to get around to someone in front of Mori Shigehiro, Mori Shigehiro will use his strong and thick body to block his body. The huge power gap also made it impossible for Nanxiang to break through Mori Shigehiro's blocking position with his own strength.
Nanxiang can't do it at all by going around the front to defend!
"Snapped!"
Starting with the basketball, Morishige caught the ball with his back to the basket. Unable to stop the opponent from catching the ball, Nango Koichiro immediately adjusted his defensive posture and put his hands firmly on Morishigehiro's back, preparing to deal with the opponent's strong back blow. At the same time, he was also mentally prepared to deal with the opponent's turn.
"Nanxiang, don't foul!"
When Wu Dao saw Hainan's basketball pass, he immediately shouted loudly. Just as he was about to go inside to cover up the defense, Mu Shenyi suddenly made a move and quickly cut towards the left side of the court. Shigehiro Mori, who caught the ball from the side, went in two directions.
Mu Shenyi's actions forced Wu Dao to give up the idea of going inside to fill the position, and could only chase Mu Shenyi, not wanting Mu Shenyi to catch the ball near the basket.
Jinguji Martial Arts certainly knew about Mori Shigehiro's threat, but equally, he also knew about Mu Shinichi's threat.
If Mu Shenyi is allowed to catch the ball in a comfortable position, Shobei will also lose points. If Mu Shenyi is allowed to break into the inside, Sakuragi or Nanxiang may be charged with a foul.
After Mu Shenyi left, Kamizou Ichiro began to run back and forth between the bottom corner and the corner position, mobilizing Mitsui Hisashi's defense and preventing Mitsui Hisashi from having the opportunity to support the inside. At the same time, he also sought Mitsui Hisashi's help. Defend gaps.
Kazuma Takasago also moved away from the inside and went to the left mid-range, his best shooting position.
One versus one inside.
Through the movement control of the other Hainan players, Mori Shigehiro once again got a one-on-one opportunity inside.
"Your strength..."
"So small!"
Mori Shige's honest and honest voice came out of his mouth, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
The next second, Morishigehiro hit the ball with his back, and his back directly touched Nango Koichiro's body. However, Nango Koichiro was fully prepared, and the arms supporting Morishige's back were instantly attached to his chest.
With a back-to-back hit, there was no defensive gap between the two.
Immediately, Morishigehiro turned around with the ball, pressed tightly against Nango Koichiro's chest, turned around and entered the inside. One step later, he suddenly dunked and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.
“ohhhh!
! "
"That No. 15 from Hainan scored consecutively! Another slam dunk!"
"That substitute from Xiangbei is no match for me!"
Seeing Mori Shigehiro once again perform dunks on the Shohoku inside line, the audience in the stands suddenly burst into cheers.
Although many of the audience are fans of Shohoku High School and Reinan, facing a talented "Kanagawa Rookie" like Shigehiro Mori, the local audience will never be stingy with their applause.
When compared with Morishigehiro, Nango Koichiro, who had performed well in the previous match against Shoyo, was immediately outclassed.
"This guy Nanxiang really hit the wall this time!"
"It's not necessarily a good thing to replace Akagi-senpai in the game!"
On the sidelines of the court, Kiyota Nobunaga on the bench couldn't help but sigh after seeing this. He originally envied Nango for having the opportunity to compete with Hainan, but when he saw Nango Koichiro being completely beaten by Morishigehiro, the envy in his heart disappeared.
"The gap inside is too big...if this continues, the opponent will catch up!"
Katsumi Ichiro pursed his lips when he heard this and said softly. In the same first grade, he felt tremendous pressure from Shigehiro Mori. Similarly, he also began to worry about the prospects of this game at Shohoku High School.
At this time, Rukawa Kaede did not go to see the highly anticipated "Center Battle", but instead turned his attention to Jinguji Martial Arts.
"Outside offense is not as stable as inside offense. This is common sense."
"If Xiangbei cannot gain an advantage in attacking inside, there will be no way to contain Hainan's inside performance."
"Then the winner of this game will definitely be Hainan High School."
"Haha... Gao Tou, do you think so now?!"
"Jinguji Martial Arts...is it really a player who can use common sense to deduce?!"
At this time, Rukawa Kaede was definitely not the only one focusing on Jinguji martial arts. Coach Taoka was also looking at the Jinguji Martial Arts on the court with excitement at this moment.
Although Jinguji Budo was not a player from Lingnan, he couldn't wait to see Coach Gaotou's frustrated appearance again.
The point difference was narrowed to 8 points by Hainan, with 55 seconds left in the game.
Jinguji Budo glanced at the time and shouted directly to Miyagi in the backcourt:
"Miyagi, pass the ball!"
This was the first time in this game that Jinguji Budo took the initiative to ask for the ball from Miyagi Ryota, and it was not in the frontcourt, but in the backcourt.
Faced with the ace's request, Miyagi sent the message directly without any hesitation.
Jinguji Budo, who took the ball in the backcourt, quickly dribbled the ball across the center line and rushed towards the frontcourt.
"coming!
"
"Kuan, be prepared and don't relax!"
As soon as Mu Shen saw Jinguji Martial Arts approaching the frontcourt quickly, he hurriedly shouted behind him. In just a few seconds, Jinguji Budo was approaching the three-point line. After approaching the three-point line, Jinguji Budo suddenly slowed down, dribbling far and low, and adjusting its rhythm.
But in Mu Shenyi's view, Jinguji Budo was waiting for his teammates to enter the frontcourt.
Because Jinguji Budo advanced very quickly, when he approached the three-point mark, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Nango Koichiro had just crossed the center line, and Mitsui Hisaya had not yet settled down.
At this time, Xiangbei High School simply has not gained a stable footing.
Suddenly, Jinguji Budo, who briefly dribbled the ball twice to adjust his rhythm, paused and joined the ball without any warning. The next second, he shot a three-point long shot. The position of his shot was far away from the three-point line. There is still nearly a meter away.
At the same time, Shohoku High School's attack time had just passed 6 seconds.
"What?!"
"Vote?! You vote now?"
"There's still so much time to attack, why are you taking action now?!"
The timing of Jinguji Martial Arts' attack surprised everyone, not to mention the Hainan team members, and even Xiangbei's own team members were stunned at this moment.
They, Xiangbei, are the dominant side, with less than a minute until halftime, and an attack time of 30 seconds. They can completely block the time and attack steadily. If they don't score in this hasty shot, doesn't it give the opponent a chance to counterattack? !
And in the eyes of most people, Jinguji Budo's attack was absolutely unplanned, and even his teammates hadn't come forward yet!
"Hey!"
However, Jinguji Budo, who shot this super long three-pointer, had a smile on his face. At the same time, the basket made a crisp squeaking sound that made Mu Shenyi freeze on the spot, in disbelief. He hurriedly turned around and looked towards the basket, just in time to see the basketball fall from the net.
"11 points!"
"And, 49 seconds!"
Jinguji Budo glanced at the scoreboard, murmured, and returned to the field to defend.
The rest of the Xiangbei people had just ran to the front court and then hurried back. Everyone looked at Jinguji Martial Arts intentionally or unintentionally. Miyagi Ryota wanted to tell Budo, "Be more steady", but at this time, he couldn't say it anyway.
I scored a goal, is it unstable? !
Jinguji Budo's three-pointer caused the venue to fall into a brief silence. The next second, the cheers of the supporters seemed to break through the ceiling of the arena and pour into the stadium.
Coach Tian Gang was also very excited. The moment the basketball hit the net, he clenched his fists and nodded his head with excitement on his face. Although he quickly suppressed his emotions, his appearance was still noticed by Shinomiya Tano, Sendao and others around him.
"The coach is really..."
"I'm not going to deal with Hainan..."
Aida Hikoichi, who was sitting behind Coach Taoka, also complained secretly, and then took out a small notebook and wrote down something. He felt that maybe the fact that "Coach Taoka hates Coach Gaotou and Hainan" is important information. .
The super long three-pointer of Jinguji Budo cast a shadow on the hearts of the Hainan players. The 11-point difference made Mu Shenyi and others feel even more pressure.
"Don't panic!"
"It's just his luck!"
"Play steadily and score another goal!"
Coach Gao Tou shouted to encourage the players on the sidelines. Although he said this, Coach Gao Tou also knew that players like Jinguji Budo would not have many lucky balls.
Looking at the opponent's calm look, he knew that for Jinguji Martial Arts, such a ball was probably as simple as eating and drinking...
However, coach Gao Tou's encouragement was extremely useful to Hainan's players. The players on the field were refreshed and, under the leadership of Mu Shenyi, began to advance towards Xiangbei.
At this time, Xiangbei's defense still did not become tense. At this time, it should have been full-court press and looking for opportunities.
However, Xiangbei's defense was still "stable" until this time.
As Hainan entered the frontcourt, he repeated his old tricks. After spending some time with several passes, through the height difference between Xiao Guan and Miyagi Ryota, the ball was successfully delivered to the hands of Morishigehiro inside.
However, under Morishigehiro's back-hand attack with the ball, Nango was beaten so hard that he watched Morishigehiro make a small hook shot in front of him.
"Dang~"
Morishigehiro made a mistake and his shot crashed out of the basket. Nango Koichiro wanted to grab the rebound, but when he jumped up, he was shrouded in a huge shadow.
Mori Shigehiro, who missed the shot, made a self-shot shot and grabbed the ball, and then suddenly made up for the dunk. His strong explosive power allowed him to complete the dunk against Nanxiang.
Shame, on the basketball court, there is nothing more humiliating than being dunked on by someone else. If anything, it would be retiring with a dunk by someone else...
However, Nanxiang obviously will not retire just like that. The ferocious look on his face is enough to show his fighting spirit.
There were 27 seconds left on the clock and the score difference was 9 points. Hainan made full use of the offensive time in this round of offense.
The ball returned to the hands of Shohoku High School. As Jinguji Budo caught the ball in the backcourt, he slowly walked towards the frontcourt. Everyone knew that this was the last attack of the first half of Shohoku High School!
Jinguji Budo took the ball and did not rush to close the three-pointer after crossing the center line. Instead, he controlled the ball in the midfield and waited for the passage of time.
10 seconds.
Seeing that there was not much time left, Mu Shenyi finally took the initiative. He wanted to force Jinguji Martial Arts to make mistakes at this last moment. If not, he would destroy the offensive rhythm of Jinguji Martial Arts.
However, in the face of Mu Shenyi's pressing, Jinguji Budo simply raised his supporting hand and easily withstood Mu Shenyi. At the same time, he quickly dribbled the ball forward and in the blink of an eye, he was close to the three-point line.
"Don't let him break through!"
Coach Gaotou on the sidelines was a little nervous, but in his shouts, Jinguji Budo stopped his advance and dribbled the ball back beyond the three-point line.
"despair..."
When the time came to the last second, Jinguji Martial Arts directly connected the ball and made another three-pointer in front of Mu Shenyi.
"Uh-huh!"
