After entering the frontcourt, Rukawa Kaede did not hesitate because the opponent in front of him changed from Fujima to Sendō.
Still dribbling with a high center of gravity approaching the three-point line, when approaching the three-point line, Rukawa Kaede quickly lowered the center of gravity of the dribble, actually intending to break through Sendō's defense line alone.
"Hey, Rukawa Kaede!"
"Don't mess around, just be steady!"
When Mitsui Hisashi in the distance saw this, he immediately realized what Rukawa Kaede wanted to do, and immediately pressed his back against Fujima, relying on his taller body to push Fujima away, and at the same time reached out for the ball.
When the big one fights the small one, Mitsui Hisashi clearly knows that his chances are very good!
However, Rukawa Kaede, who was at the top of the arc at this time, simply ignored Mitsui Hisashi's intention.
After continuous crotch dribbling, Rukawa Kaede seemed to have found a flaw in Sendō's defense. He immediately started to speed up and dropped the ball. After taking a step forward to mobilize Sendō's position, Rukawa Kaede quickly pulled back in disguise, and made a dexterous change in front of his body. Xiang, directly created a breakthrough gap for himself.
"I really did it by myself, and I didn't waste any time!"
Mitsui Hisashi was shocked when he saw Rukawa Kaede's movements, and murmured subconsciously, and then quickly reacted and ran towards the top of the arc, trying to get out of the open space, and at the same time, in order to pull Fujima's defense away from him. Go double-team Rukawa Kaede.
On the other side, Jinguji Budo, who was in the horn position, looked slightly condensed when he saw this scene, and quickly moved towards the right corner. His purpose was the same as Mitsui Hisahi, which was to mobilize the defensive personnel and make Shinomiya Tano useless. Go double-team Rukawa Kaede.
However, Shinomiya Tanano, who was chasing Jinguji Martial Arts, suddenly stopped after running for two steps and turned his head to look at Rukawa Kaede.
At this time, Rukawa Kaede had just crossed Xiandao's defense, and Xiandao, who had been pulled away by half a body by Rukawa Kaede, had already turned around to defend in time, using his body to block Rukawa Kaede's path.
"Rukawa Kaede, I am not so easy to get past!"
"Don't underestimate our Lingnan!"
Rukawa Kaede was forced to slow down by Xiandao's defense. Seeing the opponent stop, Xiandao adjusted his defensive position and said to Rukawa Kaede with a smile.
At this moment, Rukawa Kaede quickly carried the ball to the basket, leaned his back directly on Xiandao, and pushed Xiandao hard.
"With your body?"
"But Sendao and Fujima are different!"
Not far away, Shinomiya saw that Rukawa Kaede was actually trying to break through the Immortal Way with a back-up sitting attack. He couldn't help but chuckle, ignoring the Jinguji Martial Arts in the bottom corner, and quickly moved toward Rukawa Kaede. passed.
Rukawa Kaede, who was carrying a basket, couldn't even see Shinomiya Tanano who was rushing towards him at this moment.
"Rukawa Kaede, the double team is coming! Pass the ball quickly!"
"Pass the ball, pass the ball quickly! Stinky fox!"
Hisashi Mitsui noticed Shinomiya's movements and quickly warned loudly, but Rukawa Kaede was not moved at all. The moment Shinomiya's double team was in place, Rukawa Kaede turned his back and faced the frame directly, grabbing the ball with his left hand and heading towards He hooked the basket and threw the ball directly.
"Huh? A hook with the weak side!"
"How can a hook shot from a position just inside the free throw line go in?!"
Hanagata under the basket immediately made a judgment when he saw Rukawa Kaede's shot. He turned his back and was about to block Hanamichi Sakuragi behind him. But the next second he turned his back, there was a loud noise near the free throw line.
"Bang!!!"
The basketball in mid-air was directly slapped down by Shinomiya Tanano who came to double-team him. The force of his hit was like a men's volleyball player's smash. The basketball fell rapidly, hit the floor, and bounced towards the front court. .
Rukawa Kaede's half-side hook was actually blocked by Shinomiya Tanano.
"How can this be?!"
"Jump so high!!!"
As the sound of a powerful block was heard, the audience in the stands also exclaimed in surprise.
This is the first time they have seen someone actually be able to block such a hook shot. This shooting posture itself has a very high shooting point, and because it is a hook shot, the defensive players are often far away from the shooting position.
Being able to block the ball under such circumstances, Shinomiya's bounce is already terrifying!
"370cm! Definitely 370cm. Such a guy is actually a high school student?!"
In the front row of the stands, Coach Smith narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling Shinomiya's blocked shot in his mind. He could confirm that the maximum height Shinomiya Tanos had just reached definitely exceeded 370cm.
For high school players, this height
In the court, the basketball that had been covered fell to the ground and was about to bounce into the Shohoku half when Fujima, who rushed over, picked it up in his hands.
When Kaede Rukawa made a hook shot, Hisashi Mitsui had already gone inside to grab the rebound, but Fujima made a completely different move from Hisashi Mitsui. He chose to go out of the three-point line and waited for Shinomiya Tanano to get the ball. Stop.
Rukawa Kaede is indeed an outstanding first-year player, but Fujima believes even more that his teammates can stop the opponent.
Sure enough, Fujima's judgment was correct!
Grabbing the ball in his hand, Fujima quickly advanced towards the frontcourt with the ball, and the three outside players on the Shohoku side quickly returned to defense. At the same time, Shinomiya Tōno and Sendō quickly rushed towards the frontcourt to prepare for Fujima.
However, Lingnan's defensive counterattack was too smooth this time. Fujima's excellent prediction allowed him to enter the Shohoku half several positions earlier than the Shohoku defenders.
Therefore, even though Budao and others pursued with all their strength, they still failed to catch up with Fujima.
As Fujima made a light layup and sent the ball into the net, the score between the two teams reached 49:53 with 25 seconds left in the first half.
The point difference narrowed to 4 points, and the Lingnan substitutes on the sidelines cheered loudly.
"." Rukawa Kaede, who rushed back to the backcourt, saw that he could not stop Fujima's counterattack. He grabbed his jersey and touched the sweat on his chin with a grim expression.
Soon, Jinguji Budo reached the baseline and sent the ball to Rukawa Kaede.
Regarding Rukawa Kaede's mistake just now, Budo and Hisashi Mitsui didn't criticize him too much, and they didn't even say any words of reprimand.
In fact, Rukawa Kaede's performance just now wasn't bad, it's just that he had a better chance and didn't choose it. And if he hadn't met a player like Shinomiya Dono, Rukawa Kaede might have been able to score the goal just now.
However, the two seniors, Budo and Mitsui Hisashi, have good attitudes, but Sakuragi Hanamichi is not so easy to talk to. When he followed his teammates to the frontcourt, Sakuragi Hanamichi surrounded Rukawa Kaede and kept complaining about Rukawa Kaede. Not passing the ball.
When Rukawa Kaede entered the frontcourt and Sakuragi Hanamichi ran towards the inside line of Lingnan, the kid kept talking, complaining that Rukawa Kaede couldn't play ball.
I don't know if it was because Rukawa Kaede was tired of hearing it, but when Sakuragi entered Lingnan's inside line, Rukawa Kaede lobbed the ball towards Sakuragi directly in front of Xiandao.
His sudden pass made everyone in Lingnan stunned for a moment. Xiandao raised his head and opened his mouth slightly, as if he couldn't believe that the ball was actually passed by Rukawa Kaede.
Sakuragi Hanamichi, who had just entered the basket, hugged the basketball subconsciously, looking slightly startled, and then a bright smile appeared on his face.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Smelly fox, you finally realize the importance of this genius!"
"Look, you idiot, look at how this genius scores the ball!"
After Sakuragi Hanamichi finished speaking, he held the ball with both hands and turned around. After the ball dropped, his body was directly attached to Hanagata Toru. At this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi turned around after combining the ball. He turned sideways to face the frame and grabbed the ball with his left hand. The weak side hand throws directly with a hook.
The attacking skills at the basket are exactly the same as what Rukawa Kaede showed before!
"What?!"
Hanagata Toru was turned around by Sakuragi Hanamichi and passed cleanly. Seeing Sakuragi making a hook shot near the basket, Hanagata couldn't help but let out a low cry. He didn't expect Sakuragi Hanamichi to have such skills at the basket. This was really beyond his expectation.
"Hahahahaha! Look, you stinky fox!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi laughed and blocked the basket after taking the shot, looking confident. However, the basketball he threw directly hit the root of the basket and then bounced outward.
Sakuragi's weak side hand hook has no stability at all.
"."
"Idiot! Why are you using your unskilled offensive method!" Under the basket, Takenori Akagi looked at the whereabouts of the basketball and suddenly roared. Just as he was about to get in position to grab the rebound, a solid back hit him directly. on the body.
"I won't let you succeed, Akagi!"
"I will protect Lingnan's basket!"
Uozumi Jun said in a deep voice after blocking Akagi. The moment the basketball fell, Uozumi jumped up, grabbed the ball in his hands, and then directly hugged it in his arms to protect the rebound.
"Well done! Yuzhu!"
"Good board!"
As Uozhu successfully grabbed the rebound, Lingnan's players cheered.
There were 18 seconds left before the end of the first half, and the score was 4 points behind. Lingnan High School, which successfully got the rebound, still had a chance to make a final attack.
"Don't go back to defend, press the whole court, Akagi, press forward!"
Just when Takenori Akagi was about to turn around and defend, Jinguji Budo suddenly shouted loudly and directly asked the players to switch to a full-court press.
There are 18 seconds left on the clock, and Martial Arts will never allow the opponent enough time to organize an attack.
He wanted the opponent to attack in a hurry. Even if he was scored, he could not let Lingnan run out of time before scoring. He wants to buy his team time to counterattack!
"Oh!" After hearing the martial arts instructions, Akagi immediately stopped and quickly stuck to Yuzhu's body, raising his arms to block Yuzhu's sight.
"Quick pass!"
At the same time, Sendao and Shinomiya Tano quickly approached Uozumi from two directions.
After Uozumi feinted on the spot, he sent the ball out with difficulty from Akagi's armpit. The person who gave the ball to him was Sendao!
"Attack!" Sendō shouted immediately after getting the basketball, and then quickly dropped the ball and accelerated. The moment Mitsui Hisashi came up to defend, he dribbled the ball in disguise and attacked. When Mitsui Hisashi readjusted his position and pursued again, Sendō again It was a disguised dribble under the crotch, speeding up again.
After several consecutive changes of direction, Sendō dribbled the ball into the Shohoku half, and there were only 13 seconds left in the first half.
After crossing the center line, Sendō was no longer in a hurry. The ball protector pressed against Mitsui Hisashi's waist and kept dribbling in place. At the same time, his eyes scanned the entire field and observed the movement of the players on the field.
"Damn Rukawa Kaede, why didn't you pass the ball without my permission?"
"Do you understand that this sudden pass affected the rhythm of this genius?"
Under the basket, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who missed the shot and gave Lingnan a chance to counterattack, complained loudly and angrily.
This kid directly passed the blame to Rukawa Kaede. He seemed to have completely forgotten how he laughed wildly while holding the ball just now.
Rukawa Kaede on the outside ignored Sakuragi Hanamichi. He followed Fujima and kept moving, focusing entirely on Fujima.
But Budo really didn't have the time to shut up Sakuragi at this moment. He noticed that Shinomiya's eyes had changed at this moment.
The seriousness in his eyes was something he had never seen before in previous rounds of confrontation.
"This guy" Wu Dao followed Shinomiya Tano closely and chased the opponent to near the midline. Just when Budao was one position behind Shinomiya Tano in pursuit, Sendao passed the ball directly from the base and gave it to Sinomiya who came to respond. Miyano.
After the ball was released, Sendō quickly passed Mitsui Hisashi and sank towards the bottom corner.
Shinomiya, who was holding the ball, had a stern look on his face. While dribbling continuously, he approached the three-point line step by step, giving him a full sense of oppression.
As time passed by, Shinomiya showed no intention of speeding up and controlled the ball calmly.
Jinguji Martial Arts did not attack rashly. Seeing that there was no chance to steal, Martial Arts simply let Shinomiya Tano waste time.
The closer it gets to the end, the clearer it will be for Shinomiya to take action, and it will be easier to block it when the time comes!
5 seconds.
Shinomiya Tano, who had been holding the ball for a long time, finally made a move. After dribbling the ball from his hips, he rushed out with his right foot. The ball protector directly touched the waist of Jinguji Budo. As Budo pursued, He grabbed the ball with his right hand and pulled it back, changing direction and quickly speeding up to break through.
"Bang!!"
Shinomiya's body directly hit Jinguji Budō's body, but when Shinomiya was a little surprised, this time, Jinguji Budō seemed to have expected it and took the initiative to defend.
However, the power of Jinguji martial arts is very hidden, and it is coordinated with Shinomiya's power at the same time, so outsiders cannot see it at all.
"This guy!"
Shinomiya Tōdō was held up by Jinguji Martial Arts, and when he broke through, he was firmly stuck to his side by Martial Arts.
Realizing that he had no chance to make a move if this situation continued, Shinomiya stopped quickly, combined the ball with his back, and while changing direction, he also quickly changed the direction of the attack.
"!!"
The pursuing Jinguji Budo was passed by Shinomiya Tanano. Shinomiya Tanoda jumped directly into the basket, grabbed the ball with one hand and dunked towards the basket.
At this moment, a red-haired figure quickly leaped past Jinguji Budou and headed directly towards Shinomiya Tōno in the air.
“Have a big hot pot with this genius!!!”
Sakuragi Hanamichi roared with excitement and came to Shinomiya Tanano, pressing his hands directly on the basketball.
The sudden appearance of Sakuragi surprised everyone.
"Kid! What are you so arrogant about?!"
However, just when Sakuragi was confident that he could block Shinomiya's shot, veins popped out on Shinomiya's face, and he pressed the ball hard towards the basket with his grabbing hand. Go down.
He smashed the ball directly into the basket.
