"Ouch!"
"Good defense, that first-year boy!"
"Successfully interfered with the immortal projection!"
Sendō's shot was inaccurate, Sakuragi Hanamichi grabbed a defensive rebound, and Katsumi Ichiro, who had an outstanding defensive performance just after his debut, immediately attracted a lot of attention. The cheers of the people around him also fell on the ears of Ryota Miyagi, who was lying on the bench at this time.
"hehe..."
"Sure enough, other people's performance is better than mine..."
Miyagi Ryota, who overheard this sentence when he was disappointed, put his hand on the sweat towel. The face under the sweat towel was already full of tears.
"Good defense, sissy!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi smiled and praised, and after Lingnan High School began to retreat, he sent the ball to Katsumi Ichiro.
Sakuragi's praise did not make Katsumi Ichiro happy. He had been worried about the nickname Sakuragi had given him for a long time.
"Don't call me that, rookie."
"Give your rebounds a good shot."
Katsumi Ichiro sarcastically mocked, and then began to dribble the ball toward the frontcourt.
"Fujima, go and try out that first-year beauty!"
In the Lingnan half, watching Shohoku High School start to organize a counterattack, Shinomiya Dano moved his chin towards Katsumi Ichiro who was dribbling the ball, and said to Fujima.
Hearing this, Fujima didn't hesitate at all, and quickly rushed towards Katsumi Ichiro before he could bring the ball into the frontcourt. Katsumi Ichiro's front foot had just crossed the half court, and Fujima was already close to him and reached out to grab the basketball.
"Well!"
Fujima's attack speed was very fast. Facing Fujima's steal, Katsumi Ichiro subconsciously stopped the ball and firmly grasped the ball in his hands. At this time, Katsumi Ichiro had just crossed the center line with the ball.
As soon as Katsumi Ichiro stopped the ball, Budo noticed something abnormal immediately. Budo, who had just approached the three-point line, immediately stopped and turned around and ran towards Katsumi Ichiro.
"Pass the ball!"
When Jinguji Budo's response arrived, Katsumi Ichiro was holding the basketball high and swaying left and right to avoid Fujima's steal. As soon as Budo's side arrived, Katsumi Ichiro quickly jumped and passed the ball over Fujima's head. go out.
"Did you pass the ball?" Fujima murmured as he saw the basketball flying over his head and falling into the hands of Jinguji Budo, with a smile suddenly appearing on his face.
Jinguji Budo, who received the ball, was still nearly three meters away from the three-point line. At the same time, Shinomiya's defense was already in front of Jinguji Budo.
"This kind of position... it's too hard to break through!"
Jinguji Budo raised his head and glanced at the far away basket. As he dropped the ball, he turned sideways and directly pushed against Shinomiya's body. The moment the huge power was poured out on Shinomiya, Shinomiya took half a step back. Firmly withstood the oppression of martial arts.
At the same time, after testing the opponent's current strength, Wu Dao quickly dribbled the ball under his hips and accelerated his advance. However, Shinomiya on the defensive side did not want to let Budo pass like this. The moment he dribbled the ball under Budo's crotch to adjust his position, he took the initiative to take a step forward and pushed hard against Budo's body with his body.
The huge force destroyed Wu Dao's dribbling rhythm. Before the speed could fully pick up, Wu Dao was forced to stop and adjust to protect the ball.
"The defensive intensity is up!"
Shinomiya began to challenge Jinguji Budo, and in this position, Budo could not shoot at all. The changes when breaking through were much less than when catching the ball near the three-point line. At the same time, Budo also allowed Budo to shoot. The breakthrough became difficult.
Under Shinomiya's pressure, Jinguji Budo adjusted his rhythm and quickly turned around with the ball. When Shinomiya's defensive force pressed him again, he turned around with the ball. While releasing his strength, he quickly accelerated towards the three-point line. approaching. Shinomiya Tōno, who was passed by, just sprinted and came to Budao's side again. He raised his hand high and blocked Budō's view of the basket.
The defense is too deep.
Jinguji Budo sighed secretly in his heart, and as he approached the three-point line, he quickly stopped. At the moment when Shinomiya's body stopped, he dug his steps to start the breakthrough.
During the sudden stop and start, Jinguji Budo successfully opened up a few positions. At the same time as he crossed the three-point line, Jinguji Budo suddenly stopped and leaned back and threw the ball directly.
Although the martial arts successfully separated the opponent's position, strictly speaking, Shinomiya Tano did not lose his position during the sudden stop and start of the martial arts. At the same time, he also reacted quickly when the martial arts suddenly stopped and fell back. Although he failed to block the shot when he jumped to defend, his big hands still easily blocked all the shooting sights of Wu Dao at the moment of Wu Dao's projection.
For such a strong shot, Wu Dao has already figured out the position of the basket before taking the shot, and when taking the shot, Wu Dao basically relies on feeling and muscle memory to make the shot.
"Uh-huh!"
The basketball crossed half the court and accurately fell into the net with a crisp sound.
The difficult shot caused the entire audience to burst into astonishing cheers. When Shinomiya turned around and saw the basketball entering the net, he also whistled with a look of admiration on his face. However, there was no expression of surprise or anger between his eyebrows because Wu Daoqiang made the goal.
Shinomiya Tanano has also become accustomed to the projection ability of Jinguji Martial Arts.
The basketball hit the net, but Wu Dao's face showed no joy.
This kind of projection is, ultimately, unstable!
Although Jinguji Budo's playing style is already very "romantic" in the eyes of people of this era, for Budo himself, he has 100% confidence in every shot he makes. First of all, he chooses the timing of each shot, which is a shot that the martial arts himself thinks he is sure of.
But this ball at this time is not an ideal shooting state in the mind of martial arts.
Shinomiya's defense has already put considerable pressure on martial arts.
In previous games, Jinguji Budo's mid-range shooting percentage could reach a terrifying 60~70%. So after today's game, Budao estimates that his mid-range shooting percentage may be "only" around 45%.
This kind of shooting rate is probably not enough to lead Xiangbei High School to win Lingnan in a one-for-four game.
"Under such defensive pressure, other players must also make good use of it."
"Only in this way can we ensure that we can successfully suppress Lingnan High School."
"Shinomiya Tōno, you are indeed a qualified opponent!"
During the process of returning to defense, Jinguji Budo thought for a moment and decided to change his style of play.
If he changed his playing style before to take care of the emotions of his teammates, then he changed his playing style now to help the team win.
Although the results are the same, the starting points are completely different.
During the transition between offense and defense, Lingnan High School had restarted the offense. With the help of Sendō's pick-and-roll, Shinomiya easily used the pick-and-roll to cut into the paint without the ball, and then completed a beautiful alley-oop with Fujima holding the ball. Shinomiya scored a dunk.
Although Takenori Akagi under the basket had the intention to stop him, the moment he and Shinomiya Tanozhen had a physical confrontation, Akagi was completely at a disadvantage and was dunked directly by Shinomiya Tanozhen.
After being beaten into an offensive by Lingnan High School, Xiangbei High School immediately began to organize a counterattack, but an accident happened again.
Katsumi Ichiro, who entered the frontcourt with the ball, once again met Fujima Kenji's defense. This time, Katsumi Ichiro was not forced to stop the ball because of Fujima's defense. Instead, after fighting with Fujima for several seconds, Katsumi Ichiro , and then passed the ball sideways to Jinguji Budo.
Katsumi Ichiro relied on his physical advantage to successfully hit the ball, but the quality of the ball was not high. When it was given to Budo, Budo needed to make a slight adjustment to be able to attack comfortably.
In the short moment when Budo adjusted his posture, Shinomiya's defense was completely suppressed.
Under the pressure of Shinomiya, Budo could only try to maintain his position. After adjusting his posture, he quickly dropped the ball and opened some distance from the opponent, leaving some gaps for himself to make moves.
However, Shinomiya is also an experienced player. He knows that Budo needs to open up his position to prepare for a breakthrough, so he does not give Budo such a chance when defending. He sticks his body firmly to Budo and quickly adjusts as Budo moves with the ball. His body position is like brown candy. No matter how he changes his body position or adjusts his dribbling method, there is no way to throw the opponent away.
However, although Wu Dao couldn't get rid of the opponent, he was getting closer and closer to the basket.
The two men, one on offense and one on defense, showed strong personal strength on both offense and defense.
In the competition between Martial Arts and Shinomiya Tōno, Jinguji Martial Arts, the attacker, finally had the upper hand.
After a pause, Shinomiya's defense finally made a major mistake. The opponent thought that Budo would still choose a fadeaway jumper as the finishing method, but the fact is that after the pause, Budo chose to continue to break through and passed Shinomiya. Tianye's defense reached the basket and used a jelly layup to avoid Yuzhu's defense and send the ball into the basket.
It was still Jinguji Martial Arts’ strong personal ability that helped Shohoku High School score. After Coach Taoka, who was sitting on the sidelines, pondered for a few seconds, his eyes focused on Katsumi Ichiro, who had just come on the field. He touched his chin, got up and walked to the sidelines.
In the Lingnan backcourt, Uozumi had just delivered the ball when Sendao heard Coach Taoka calling him on the sidelines and turned to look at Coach Taoka.
Coach Taoka didn't say anything, he just stretched out his hand and pointed at Katsumi Ichiro in the distance. Seeing this scene, Xiandao immediately understood what Coach Tianoka meant, nodded silently, and then quickly entered the frontcourt with his teammates.
The offensive firepower of Lingnan High School is very terrifying. Shinomiya, Sendō and Fujima are also very strong in personal ability. They are ace-level players on any team.
Lingnan entered the frontcourt, and Xiandao skillfully set a pick-and-roll for Fujima. When Fujima dropped the ball and broke through, Shohoku changed defense. Rukawa Kaede chased Fujima, while Katsumi Ichiro chased Sendou. When Fujima broke through and met Rukawa Kaede, he quickly passed the ball back to Sendō.
At the same time that Xiandao received the ball, Hanagata on the inside also quickly moved up and set up a high pick-and-roll for Xiandao, allowing Xiandao to break through smoothly.
Katsumi Ichiro obviously did not expect that Lingnan High School would actually play a double pick-and-roll. Without checking for a moment, he was firmly stuck in the position of Hanagata. Sendō who broke into the inside faced Sakuragi's defense and took off without hesitation. Sendō's attack also attracted the defense of Takenori Akagi inside.
Two against one.
Sendō, who was in the air, had no intention of passing the ball. He twisted his body strangely in the air. With his good waist, Sendō directly avoided the blocks of Sakuragi and Akagi in the air. He grabbed the ball with his right hand and passed it from Sakura. Mu and Akagi passed between them and then spun the ball toward the backboard.
"Bang!" The high-speed rotating basketball hit the backboard and quickly rebounded into the basket.
The difficult layup instantly made Lingnan's supporters excited, and cheers filled the entire arena.
"What happened...the cheers were so loud?"
"..."
"Ah! It turns out to be the immortal way! Haha, the genius of the immortal way..."
Deafening cheers reached Miyagi Ryota's ears. When he heard the audience cheering Sendao's name, Miyagi Ryota's face was filled with a bitter smile.
Genius and immortality.
Isn’t it natural for such a player to receive cheers? !
"The ball is stopped!"
"Xiangbei stopped the ball again!"
"Double-team! Lingnan double-teams the empty seat in Xiangbei!"
"Jinguji Budo went over to take over. It was really hard work. We had to attack and help our teammates."
At this moment, the exchange between the two spectators in the front row reached Miyagi Ryota's ears. When he heard Shohoku stopping the ball, Miyagi Ryota's expression condensed. He walked out of his emotions and slowly sat up, sweating. Falling off his face.
But at this time, none of the Shohoku substitutes saw this scene. Everyone's attention was focused on the court, looking at Katsumi Ichiro who was stopping the ball in the backcourt.
In the court, Katsumi Ichiro received a pass from his teammate in the backcourt and was about to dribble the ball into the frontcourt. However, at this moment, Kenji Fujima of Lingnan High School did not return to defense and blocked Katsumi after receiving the ball. At the same time, Sendō Akira also let go of his defense against Rukawa Kaede, and together with Fujima, took care of Miichiro.
Katsumi Ichiro, who was double-teamed, was forced to stop the ball, but where he stopped the ball was in his own half.
At this time, it was less than two seconds before Shohoku High School broke the rules. When Jinguji Budo noticed this and rushed to support, Shinomiya followed immediately and used his strength to block Budo's position, preventing Budo from having a chance to catch the ball.
The spectators in the stands saw that Katsumi Ichiro was still unable to hit the ball, and they also realized that Shohoku's attack might go bankrupt.
"Pass the ball! Pass the ball quickly!"
At this moment, Rukawa Kaede, who had been released, had already run to the side of Katsumi Ichiro. Hearing the shout, Katsumi Ichiro was about to hit the ball to the ground, but the moment the basketball was released, Sendō dodged and rushed out. He slapped the basketball with one hand.
"Too young, first grade!"
Katsumi Ichiro's ball was simply within Sendō Akira's calculations. Rukawa Kaede's movements had already been controlled by Sendō. Katsumi Ichiro's pass in desperation just fell into Sendō's trap.
】
After completing the steal, Sendō Akira quickly dribbled the ball towards the Shohoku half. At this time, the only ones who could go back to defend were Katsumi Ichiro and Rukawa Kaede. As soon as Budō, who was about to pursue the pursuit, accelerated, Shinomiya Tano deliberately blocked him. Stall.
"Where are you going?"
"Your opponent is me! Martial arts."
Shinomiya Tanō looked at Jinguji Budo who was stuck behind him and said with a smile.
At this time, Sendō had already dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, and with him was Fujima.
Two-on-two in the frontcourt.
In Shobei, this group of defense seemed to be able to withstand Lingnan's fast break, but it completely collapsed in Xiandao's fake pass when he was approaching the basket.
Both Rukawa Kaede and Katsumi Ichiro were deceived by Sendō, thinking that the opponent was going to pass the ball to Fujima. As a result, Sendō scored with a one-handed dunk when he scored at the basket.
Lingnan High School scored consecutively.
The delicate balance that Lingnan High School and Shohoku High School had maintained from the first half to the present was completely broken by the power of Sendao.
