Shinomiya Tano from Lingnan High School and Jinguji Martial Arts from Shohoku High School successively showed terrifying offensive abilities. The goals scored by both teams were warmly cheered by the audience in the stands.
It was just a round of offense and defense, and the audience could see the level of Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tanano. These two were more than one level better than the aces of other teams.
"The hit rate of Jinguji Martial Arts is still as good as ever!"
"Tian Tian, next time you defend, do you need to double-team first?"
After Shohoku's attack ended, Reinan took possession of the ball, and Akira Sendō caught up with Shinomiya Tōno who was running towards the frontcourt and asked aloud.
In order to prepare for today's game, their Lingnan High School actually made a lot of pre-game preparations. Coach Taoka's on-the-spot command ability may not be the best in the country, but as long as he is given some preparation time, he will be able to study his opponents thoroughly.
Whether it's the opponent's style of play or the style of the ace players, Coach Tianoka can even predict possible changes in the opponent's lineup.
As for the Shohoku High School team, Coach Tianoka has been studying it for a long time.
For today's game, Coach Taoka had already prepared several defensive formations. The main purpose was to limit the performance of Jinguji Martial Arts.
The match between Lingnan and Shohoku High School has just begun, and Lingnan did not show their trump card at the beginning. However, at this time, Sendō saw that Jinguji Martial Arts seemed to be quite good today, so he thought of using a double team to give Jinguji Martial Arts some points. pressure.
"Let's hit a few more balls and see."
"There is still time, so let me first feel his current fighting power."
"I want to see if I can guard against him with my own strength."
Shinomiya Tanoku said and ran quickly towards the frontcourt. In the blink of an eye, he quickly entered the Shohoku half. After Kenji Fujima quickly dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, he saw Shinomiya Tanoda standing outside the three-point line. , with his back to the basket, raised his right hand toward him, signaling him to pass the ball.
Seeing this scene, Fujima Kenji gave up his idea of a solo breakout and immediately sent the ball out.
Originally, Fujima wanted to try another shot by himself, but he was just stopped by two first-year students from Shohoku. Fujima was so proud that he must not be convinced. But since Shinomiya wants the ball, Fujima will not stick to his own style of play.
He knew very well that the existence of Shinomiya Fields was very crucial for Lingnan High School to reach its current height. And compared to attacking with the ball, Shinomiya's offense may be more stable.
Of course, the opponent Shinomiya faced was Jinguji Martial Arts from Shohoku High School.
"Bang!" After receiving the basketball, Shinomiya did not face the basket immediately. Instead, he dropped the ball on the spot, sat down on his butt, and started a post-up play from the position outside the three-point line.
"Bang!" Shinomiya's back rested on Jinguji Budou's chest. The huge force forced Budou to tilt his upper body and try to rely on his own weight to prevent Shinomiya from further intruding into the three-point line.
However, the strength gap between the two was still not small. Jinguji's martial arts, which relied on its own weight, could not stop the other's aggression and took a step back.
"Bang!" The ball dropped again, and Shinomiya continued to play from behind. After two consecutive back-to-back shots, he also successfully entered the three-point line.
In today's era, there is no rule about carrying the basket for 5 seconds.
Seeing that Jinguji Budo still maintained a good defensive posture after two back hits, Shinomiya smiled slightly and did not change his posture. He continued to drop the ball to him. He seemed to be planning to use his strength to push inside.
Faced with Shinomiya Tano's back attack, Martial Arts did not have a good way, and the opponent was not the kind of cumbersome and mindless back attack. Martial Arts just showed some intention of going around to defend, and Shinomiya Tano could often detect it immediately and quickly Holding the ball and switching back to play, he not only protects the basketball, but also allows himself to turn over and shoot jumpers at any time.
After hitting the back several times in a row, Shinomiya used his violent power to forcefully push Budo's defense to the middle distance.
And at this time, Mitsui Hisashi, who was originally defending Sendo, finally stopped standing where he was and hurriedly ran towards Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tōno, trying to go around and steal Shinomiya Tōno.
However, his movements were noticed by Shinomiya Tōno. When Mitsui Shou left Sendō's side, the smile on Shinomiya Tōno's face became brighter and he murmured:
"Does this obvious double-teaming take me as a stick?"
“The run defense was pretty aggressive.”
Shinomiya didn't stick to the ball at all and directly hit the ball and passed it out. In his mind, there was no concept of "one-on-one goal is his victory".
In Shinomiya's view, his strong strength attracted double teams. Even if his teammates score, the credit still belongs to him!
On the contrary, if Xiandao fails to enter the vacant position, the pot will actually belong to Xiandao.
The basketball hit the floor directly at Mitsui Hisashi's feet and bounced towards Sendō Akira's hand behind Mitsui Hisashi.
Starting with the basketball, Xiandao shot a jump shot without any hesitation.
"Whoa!" With the soft sound of a basketball hitting the net, the total score on the scoreboard of Lingnan High School came to 4 points.
"Well done, Ye Ye!"
After Sendō scored, he high-fived Shinomiya Nono to celebrate, and Shinomiya Nozo also smiled at Mitsui Hisashi, said nothing, and started to return to defense.
"Xiaosan, I'm sorry." Wu Dao looked at the people in Lingnan who were leaving, turned around and said sorry to Mitsui Shou, and then ran quickly towards the front court.
Faced with Shinomiya Tōno's simple and crude fighting style, to be honest, Jinguji Martial Arts really didn't have any good solutions.
Do you think anyone in the league can take advantage of Barkley? It’s not that we have to rely on rules to restrict Barkley, but in today’s high school basketball world, there is no such thing as a violation of holding back for more than 5 seconds.
Faced with Shinomiya's back attack, the best way is to double-team.
But despite the fact that Shinomiya is a tall and powerful person, he has a broad field of vision and exquisite skills. If he double-teams rashly, he will give Lingnan an open position.
Moreover, none of Lingnan's outside players are easy to get along with. If Xiangbei dares to leave his opponent open, Lingnan's Xiandao or Fujima will dare to score goals.
Unless Jinguji Martial Arts can handle Shinomiya Tanano's back attack, Lingnan's offensive system can be called invincible!
Unless, many outside players in Lingnan feel stretched and cannot enter the open space.
Missing an open shot is all too common in high school basketball. Players' competitive status will be affected by factors such as tension and physical exertion, so that when players are in games, they often do not have the same shooting percentage as during normal training.
But this situation is also for ordinary players.
Kenji Fujima and Sendō are not high school players in the ordinary sense at all.
Letting these two people shoot is not much different from giving away points.
Between the alternation of offense and defense, Shohoku High School's Rukawa Kaede has quickly brought the ball into the frontcourt. This time, Budo did not rush to ask for the ball from Rukawa Kaede, nor did he land in his best position outside the three-point line as usual.
Instead, he tried to bypass Shinomiya's defense and cut inside.
Seeing Jinguji Budo start cutting without the ball, Rukawa Kaede also realized that the opponent did not want to play singles with the ball now. Rukawa Kaede, who originally maintained a high center and planned to pass the ball, immediately changed his rhythm. The center of gravity of dribbling suddenly dropped, and he was actually preparing to break through.
And just when Rukawa Kaede changed his dribbling rhythm, Jinguji Budo, who cut inside, just touched the floor in the inside and ran directly towards the outside.
Like Hanagata's previous pick-and-roll, Jinguji Budo also fell behind Fujima, and actually created a pick-and-roll for Rukawa Kaede.
Seeing this scene, Rukawa Kaede's eyes opened slightly, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly dropped the ball to accelerate the breakthrough. And the direction in which he broke through was exactly the direction in which Jinguji Budo used the pick-and-roll.
"This Jinguji Budo guy's target is Fujima!"
Shinomiya Tenno himself was still slowly following behind Jinguji Martial Arts, not paying attention to the movements of Jinguji Martial Arts. But when Jinguji Budo set a pick-and-roll for Rukawa Kaede, Shinomiya Tano immediately realized the sinister intentions of Jinguji Budo!
This guy actually wants to use pick-and-rolls to create mismatched singles opportunities for himself!
Shinomiya did not allow him to think too much. Rukawa Kaede, who had broken through, had quickly rushed in front of him, trying to get past his defense.
Facing Shohoku, a first-year breakthrough player, Shinomiya could only follow up quickly, and at the same time reminded Fujima loudly: "Switch defense!"
Shinomiya's lateral movement speed was very terrifying, and a big hand directly blocked Rukawa Kaede's sight.
The moment Shinomiya entered the defense, Rukawa Kaede even felt that his breathing was stagnant. The terrifying pressure coming from the opponent made him stop involuntarily, and then quickly turned around and passed the ball to Jinguji Budou in the high position. .
Shinomiya had anticipated it and quickly blocked it. However, he had to be wary of Rukawa Kaede's breakthrough and Rukawa Kaede's pass. Even Shinomiya couldn't do everything. He couldn't intercept the ball and could only watch. The basketball fell into the hands of Jinguji Budo.
"Good pass!"
Wu Dao caught the ball with both hands, praised it with a smile, dribbled the ball, took a step back and stood directly outside the three-point line, raised his hand and dropped the ball, and threw the ball directly.
"Uh-huh!"
With a crisp squeaking sound, the basketball entered the net hollowly.
Jinguji Budo, a sophomore in high school, is over two meters tall and has terrifying bounce. After Lingnan switched defenses, Kenji Fujima who was guarding him was less than 180cm, and there was a gap of more than 20 centimeters between him and him.
At the same time, Fujima's bounce is far from comparable to Jinguji Martial Arts. Fujima saw Jinguji Budo receiving the basketball before his eyes, and he also clearly knew that Jinguji Budo was going to make a jump shot after stepping back.
But he could barely keep up with the martial arts. Even if he jumped with all his strength, he could only touch the arm of Jinguji martial arts, and it was impossible to threaten Jinguji martial arts' shooting.
This height difference, for martial arts, is like an open shot, as simple as eating and drinking.
The mismatched singles that Miyagi Ryota hated the most were now used by martial arts on Fujima Kenji.
As the basketball entered the net, Shohoku High School's score reached 5 points, completing the lead.
After Jinguji Budo scored a goal, he made a fist with his right hand and high-fived each other with his running teammates. Then he took a deep look at Kenji Fujima in front of him and turned around to defend.
On the side of the court, on Shohoku's bench, Miyagi Ryota looked at the scene on the court with a bitter smile on his face. He looked at Fujima and shook his head.
The higher the level of opponents and the higher the level of competition, the more Miyagi Ryota is able to realize how fatal his shortcomings are to the team.
The team's aces who are similar in stature to Jinguji Budo can't prevent Jinguji Budo's goal, and Fujima's height and condition are even less able to do such a thing.
While Miyagi Ryota was paying attention to Fujima, most people on the sidelines were paying attention to Jinguji Martial Arts.
The fans who had been watching Jinguji Budo play in the stands were stunned when they saw Jinguji Budo running without the ball and setting up pick-and-rolls.
In their impression, when Jinguji Budo wants to attack, they always receive the ball outside the three-point line and attack the opponent's defense head-on.
But in today's game, Jinguji Martial Arts' style of play has undergone obvious changes.
Becoming a bit of a team? !
In this arena at this time, probably only Coach Smith knows that the Jinguji Martial Arts active on the court now is the real him!
Jinguji Martial Arts has never been a lone wolf ace who only knows how to play stupidly with the ball.
But most of the time, Jinguji Martial Arts will choose a simpler approach.
Facing Lingnan, Jinguji Martial Arts has indeed become serious!
"Start making cuts and start setting up pick-and-rolls for your teammates."
"Use pick-and-rolls to create opportunities for mismatched singles."
"Routine, Xiangbei, do you think I didn't think of this?!"
Coach Tian Gang crossed his arms and sneered twice, not surprised at all. Everything that happens on the court at this time is still under his control!
Don't rush to change the formation now, let's see what other tricks Xiangbei has!
Between the alternation of offense and defense, Lingnan's players protected the ball and quickly entered the Xiangbei half. After entering the frontcourt, Shinomiya glanced at the defender Fujima Rukawa Kaede from time to time, showing some interest in his eyes.
Turning back, he glanced at Jinguji Martial Arts in front of him, and suddenly said: "Martial Arts, I suddenly have some interest in the first-year member of your team."
"That kid seems to have been trained by you Xiangbei people as their ace, right?"
"Is it really okay to just be a point guard like this?"
"If you don't fight with a strong person, you won't become stronger, right?"
As he spoke, Shinomiya's figure immediately ran towards the direction of Fujima.
After a hand-to-hand pass, Fujima passed the ball to Shinomiya Nodo and immediately blocked Jinguji Budo's pursuit. Shinomiya, who got the basketball, didn't stop for a moment, dropped the ball directly and rushed towards Rukawa Kaede's defense.
The falling ball accelerates the breakthrough, simple and direct.
In Rukawa Kaede's view, Shinomiya Tano's breakthrough really has no technical content at all.
But when Shinomiya's body touched Rukawa Kaede when he was breaking through, Rukawa Kaede realized that for people like Shinomiya, some fancy techniques were of no use at all!
"Bang!" Pushed through Rukawa Kaede's defense, Shinomiya rushed into the basket and jumped up directly. In front of him, Sakuragi Hanamichi also jumped to try to block it, but when Sakuragi's body was in mid-air When he hit the Shinomiya field, his body still fell backwards uncontrollably.
The power is no match at all!
Shinomiya grabbed the ball with one hand, and after confronting Sakuragi in the air, he casually sent the ball into the basket.
The sight of lifting a weight with ease made Sakuragi's pupils shrink.
"This is the level of layups I want to achieve!"
