In the stadium.
Rukawa Kaede, who was positioned in the backcourt of Shohoku, naturally attracted the attention of everyone at Sanno Industries. They had already done research on Rukawa Kaede.
But when Rukawa Kaede stood in the backcourt, the Sanno players were still stunned.
Masashi Kawada, who was standing on the center line, looked beyond Takenori Akagi in front of him and looked at Rukawa Kaede.
"You Xiangbei, what are you planning to do?!"
"Let a first-year player play the important point guard position?"
"Do you think that first grader will be Fukatsu's opponent?"
Kawada Masashi and Akagi Takenori in front of him can be regarded as acquaintances. The two had fought against each other in the Autumn Kingdom. At this time, he looked at Rukawa Kaede and asked Akagi Takenori.
"Do you care about too many things?"
Akagi did not directly answer Kawada Masashi's question, but asked expressionlessly. He felt a strong sense of arrogance from Kawada Masashi's tone.
The kind of arrogance that completely ignores the opponent.
"I don't think so." The ape-faced Masashi Kawada grinned, tasting the flavor of Takenori Akagi's words, and said without any scruples.
"snort!"
Akagi snorted lightly and said nothing.
Kawada was greatly bored when he saw Takenori Akagi's appearance, and turned around to start a group of other members of the Shohoku team.
He has seen several players who played at Xiangbei High School today. Mitsui Hisashi who is opposite Matsumoto Minoru, Jinguji Budo who is opposite Sabahita Eiji, and Sakuragi Hanamichi who is opposite Nobe Masahiro at this time.
Some people he had played against before, and some people he had seen when watching the Xiangbei game.
Kawada Masashi's eyes quickly swept over Sakuragi and others, and finally landed on Jinguji Martial Arts not far away.
Masashi Kawada knows very well that no matter how Shohoku High School changes its formation, the most threatening person in their team will always be Jinguji Martial Arts!
Feeling Kawada Masashi's gaze, Budo turned his head and smiled at Kawada.
In today's game, he planned to show off his dominance, or consolidate the position of Xiangbei High School.
Otherwise, the rating of this A-level team is really hard to describe. If those guys in the United States knew that they were playing in an A-level team, they would probably die laughing. In itself, there are many people who don't understand the martial arts returning to Shobei to play.
It's not that Wu Dao is afraid of losing face, it's just that he doesn't want those college teams who are interested in him to think too much, thinking that he came to Xiangbei to play because he couldn't survive in high school!
"Sorry, Zebei."
Suddenly, Jinguji Martial Arts said sorry to Zebei. The confused Eiji Sawabita was about to ask why, but the referee had already entered the court and blew the whistle to start the game.
"Beep——"
After a long whistle, the referee threw the basketball high into the air.
Takenori Akagi and Masashi Kawada, who were on both sides of the midline, let out a loud roar and left the ground almost at the same time, shooting towards the basketball.
"Hey!"
Masashi Kawada's explosive power was better than Takenori Akagi's. When the two took off at almost the same time, he took the lead in hitting the basketball and swatted the ball toward the backcourt.
Masashi Kawada, who successfully won the jump ball, bulged his arms and muscles, shouted excitedly, and then quickly ran towards the frontcourt.
As the basketball fell into the hands of Fukatsu Kazunari, the Shohoku players quickly ran towards their backcourt.
"Come on, guard against the next ball!"
"Shrink the defense! They have no basket."
As Jinguji Budo returned to the field, he clapped his hands and shouted to the team members.
After hearing this, the Sanno other county team members all looked at Jinguji Martial Arts with unhappy expressions.
Martial Arts felt the eyes of everyone in the Mountain King, smiled, quickly retreated to the three-point line, spread his arms, and defended. At the same time, after entering the frontcourt, Eiji Sawabita did not stay beyond the three-point line at all, but quickly sank to the bottom corner.
The Shohoku side adopts a standard zone defense. Hanamichi Sakuragi and Takenori Akagi are on both sides of the paint area under the basket, while Budo Jinguji, Hisashi Mitsui and Kaede Rukawa are all located inside the three-point line. Among them, Rukawa Kaede is standing at the top of the arc.
As Zebita Eiji sank to the bottom corner, Jinguji Budo followed quickly, leaving a huge gap in the corner.
Kawada Masashi on the inside quickly moved up and set up a high pick-and-roll for Fukatsu Kazunari. With the help of his teammates, Fukatsu Kazunari took the ball in the direction of the three-point line and moved several steps laterally, completely widening the distance from Rukawa Kaede and then adjusted. He made a gesture, raised his hand and took a three-point shot.
From the time Sanno got the ball to the time he entered the frontcourt with the ball, it only took a short 8 seconds.
"Dang~~"
With the wide open three-point shot, everyone in Sanwang was ready to return to the court to defend, but at this moment, there was a clear and crisp sound from the basket.
"Hooray!" Hanamichi Sakuragi was in a better position under the basket than Masahiro Nobe, and Nobe was already ready to defend. Unexpectedly, Fukatsu's open three-pointer was unexpectedly inaccurate, and the basketball crashed out of the basket.
Nobe, who was unprepared, could only watch as Sakuragi Hanamichi caught the ball in his hand. Sakuragi ignored Rukawa Kaede and gave the ball to Jinguji Budo with his backhand.
"Snapped!"
After getting the basketball, Jinguji Budo suddenly smiled and said:
"Sure enough, they don't have a basket."
"Come on, let's score first!"
Wu Dao did not pass the ball, and slowly advanced towards the frontcourt with the ball. And just as he was speaking, Sawabita Eiji, who was originally standing in the bottom corner, suddenly came from behind Jinguji Budo and took out the basketball in Budo's hand.
"Huh? Are you here to cheat or sneak attack?"
The footsteps behind him did not escape Jinguji Budo's ears. Budo just casually dribbled the ball from his hip and switched the ball to his left hand, easily avoiding the steal from Eiji Sawabita.
And Eiji Zebita, who failed to steal the ball, didn't stop much and ran quickly towards his backcourt.
All the members of the Budomi Sanou Kogyo Industry team who had led a short distance had returned to defense. They casually passed the ball to Rukawa Kaede and ran slowly towards the frontcourt.
When Xiangbei attacked, the players entered the frontcourt in an orderly manner and began to take up positions in the frontcourt.
Triangle offense.
Jinguji Budo is located outside the three-point line at the corner, Mitsui Hisaru is located in the bottom corner on the same side, and Takenori Akagi on the inside is also standing on the same side, close to the paint area, with his back to The basket seems to be waiting for the pass from his teammates.
Rukawa Kaede approached the top of the arc with the ball. Sakuragi Hanamichi was originally standing under the basket. Seeing that Rukawa Kaede approaching the top of the arc did not pass the ball to Jinguji Budo, he immediately understood and pulled to the mid-range on the left.
Although he and Rukawa Kaede didn't deal with each other.
But as the saying goes, the person who is most familiar with you is not yourself, but your enemy.
Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede are both teammates and enemies, so Sakuragi Hanamichi actually knows Rukawa Kaede very well, and he already knows what Rukawa Kaede is going to do!
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
Rukawa Kaede, who was approaching the top of the arc with the ball, lowered his waist and switched hands to dribble in front of his body. His arms swung widely, as if he was preparing for a one-shot.
Kazunari Fukatsu, who was on defense, was very energetic at this moment.
Although Rukawa Kaede is in the first grade, Fukatsu Kazunari has watched Rukawa Kaede play and does not look down upon this young man in the first grade.
"Do you want to attack yourself..."
"Don't underestimate your opponents. Fukatsu is also considered the number one point guard in the country. He is a strong man who can control Mu Shenyi alone!"
Martial arts saw Rukawa Kaede's movements from the corner of his eye, but he did not say anything to stop him, but secretly prayed to Rukawa Kaede in his heart, hoping that he would not underestimate his opponent.
"Bang!" Suddenly, Rukawa Kaede changed his dribbling rhythm, suddenly exploded the ball, and rushed to the right. His extremely fast starting speed surprised everyone.
However, the next second, Rukawa Kaede's shoulder hit a solid chest. Fukatsu Kazunari, who was guarding him, actually caught up with him at the first moment. While blocking Rukawa Kaede's sudden route with his body, he still had some energy left. He reached out and swatted the basketball in Rukawa Kaede's hand.
"Sure enough, I can resist!"
Budo has been paying attention to the situation on Rukawa Kaede's side, and he was not surprised at all when he saw the 180cm Fukatsu Kazunari blocking Rukawa Kaede. And at the moment when Rukawa Kaede was delayed by his opponent, Zebita Eiji decisively gave up Jinguji Martial Arts, taking advantage of Rukawa Kaede's control of the basketball to weaken, and double-teamed Rukawa Kaede.
"Hurry up and pass the ball, Rukawa Kaede!"
Seeing this scene, Takenori Akagi immediately shouted loudly, but his reminder was a little slow after all.
The position where Eiji Sawabita stood was not far from the top of the arc itself. By the time Rukawa Kaede reacted and planned to pass the ball to Jinguji Budō, Eiji Sawabita had already come to his side, completely blocking him and him at the same time. Passing routes between martial arts.
Full of danger!
"Too tender!"
In the stands, coach Taoka saw Rukawa Kaede about to be trapped in a double-team, shook his head and sighed softly.
However, at the moment when Coach Taoka finished speaking, Rukawa Kaede looked at Jinguji Martial Arts not far away, and smashed the ball violently in his hand.
The direction of the pass was not Jinguji Budo, but Takenori Akagi on the inside.
Sanno's double team formed, and the basketball was now in Takenori Akagi's hands.
"Well?!"
After receiving the basketball, Akagi's expression was still a little dazed, as if he didn't see how Rukawa Kaede passed the ball. When he reacted, a powerful force came from his back.
Kawada Masashi's defense has arrived.
Zebei, who failed to double-team, quickly returned to his position, carefully guarding Jinguji Martial Arts.
"Bang!" Takenori Akagi blasted the ball once and leaned hard against Masashi Kawada behind him, but his back attack had no effect. Masashi Kawada pressed against Akagi's back, but he didn't even take a step. retreat.
"Damn it!" Akagi was just about to hit him hard, but the shouts of Jinguji Martial Arts suddenly sounded from outside:
"Pass the ball!"
"Don't rush!"
Martial Arts was already three points away at this time and shouted towards Akagi. And his shouts made Akagi quickly calm down, pass the ball with both hands, and sling the ball toward the outside.
Sawhita Eiji himself wanted to steal, but Akagi's pass was slung very high and Sawhoku couldn't reach it, and Jinguji Budo's receiving position was also very far away from the three-point line, so Sawehita gave up. After thinking this thought, my body relaxed a little.
"Good pass! Very calm."
Budo caught the ball with one hand, dropped the ball smoothly, and praised it with a smile. And at the moment when Eiji Sawabita looked at Jinguji Budo, Jinguji Budo was dribbling the ball and was still nearly two meters away from the three-point line and actually intended to combine the ball.
"!
! "
When Sawabei Eiji saw the martial artist's little move, he was immediately startled and rushed forward.
He has not forgotten that Jinguji Budo is capable of ultra-long three-pointers. With such a wide open space, the opponent has a high probability of shooting the ball directly, and Zebei does not dare to gamble.
"You are so vigilant!"
Budo sighed softly, and his original posture of putting the ball together changed in an instant. He shortened his body and directly dribbled the ball through. In the blink of an eye, he had passed through Eiji Sawabita.
His current dribbling ability can be fully adjusted according to the opponent's defensive posture. Sawabei Eiji had already revealed huge flaws in front of him.
"Fake action?!"
Jinguji Martial Arts passed by him. Zebei was shocked and quickly turned around to pursue him.
But the extremely fast Jinguji Budo had already crossed the three-point line and rushed towards the defense line where Kawada Masashi was.
Masashi Kawada watched Jinguji's martial arts breakthrough and hurriedly stepped forward, while Zebei did not let up, following closely behind martial arts, waiting for an opportunity to block the shot.
Just when the martial artist was approaching Masashi Kawada, the martial artist suddenly turned around, frightening Masashi Kawada and quickly retreated half a step to prepare for the pursuit.
However, Jinguji Budo's turn was not meant to break through at all. Instead, he turned to the outside. In an instant, he was more than a meter away from Zebei and Kawada Masashi.
A big turn around the world, facing the basket, and a fadeaway jumper.
A series of actions were completed in an instant. The basketball flew directly from Jinguji Budo's hands and accurately hit the side of the backboard. The side board of the basketball entered the net with a soft sound.
The relaxed and unrestrained projection made the audience cheer after a brief silence.
"Awesome...awesome!
! "
"You scored the goal with just a few words?! Jinguji's martial arts is so strong!"
"It's very comfortable. I don't take Sanwang's defense seriously at all!"
The audience exclaimed, just by watching Jinguji Budo hit a ball, they could intuitively feel that Jinguji Budo's strength far exceeded his opponents.
Relaxed and comfortable, the way Jinguji Martial Arts scored points in the hands of Sanno gave people the feeling of being too relaxed.
"Beautiful..." Coach Taoka looked at the field and murmured to Jinguji Budo, who was wagging his finger at the Sanno Industrial players.
Shinomiya's playing style is solid and steady.
Then the playing style of Jinguji Budo is chic and elegant.
The defensive pressure from Sanno Industries was obviously not small, but Jinguji Budo still felt relaxed when scoring points.
"A huge disparity in strength." Xiandao commented, covering his forehead. If Zebei had been on the field in his place, he would have been equally unsure of blocking Jinguji Budo's attack.
"I scored a goal! Well done, Jinguji-senpai!"
"Come on, Xiangbei, defend!"
The Xiangbei substitutes on the sidelines shouted and encouraged the players on the court.
The Xiangbei players on the field have also completed their defense at this moment, waiting for Sanno to launch an attack.
Fukatsu slowly dribbled the ball forward, thinking about countermeasures as he went.
He has already seen Shohoku's plan. I'm afraid, it's the same as Aki no Kokutai's style of play, which is to give the ball to Jinguji Budo and let this super ace stand in singles.
Simple and mindless.
"Got to execute the coach's defensive plan."
"You have to increase the strength of Jinguji's martial arts, otherwise, he will be defeated by him alone."
"As for this first grade...it's still too young."
