Players from the youth training team and Shohoku players entered the court one after another and began to take their positions. As soon as the front foot of Jinguji Budo stood on the center circle, the "little bald man" Eiji Sawabita stood on the Jinguji Budo in front of.
"Hey, long time no see! Jinguji Martial Arts."
Facing the Jinguji Martial Arts again, Zebita Eiji showed a very relaxed attitude and greeted the Martial Arts with a smile. Seeing his appearance, Wu Dao also smiled and replied: "Long time no see."
"I am no longer the same as I used to be."
After Budo simply replied, he ignored Eiji Zebita in front of him and looked at the other youth training team players. However, as soon as Budo took his eyes away from the opponent, Eiji Zebita's words spread. Entered the ears of martial arts.
Looking back, Budo briefly looked at Eiji Zebei, then looked away again, and said casually: "No matter how talented a person is, it is impossible for him to undergo a qualitative change in less than a month."
"Especially when your technical level reaches your level, such a short time is not enough for you to make much progress."
When Wu Dao spoke, he already denied Zebei. However, Zebei Eiji did not mean to be angry about this, but smiled confidently and did not answer the martial arts words.
At the midline position, the referee has already entered the court with a basketball. The two sides in the jump ball are Kawada Masashi and Nango Koichiro.
Seeing that his current opponent was Nanxiang, Kawada grinned and asked Nanxiang:
"Has the center in Xiangbei been replaced?"
"I thought I could continue to fight Takenori Akagi."
"I remember you were a first-year student at Shohoku High School, right? It seems you were called Nanxiang?"
"Fight hard, don't let us win too easily!"
Kawada Masashi obviously looked down on Nango Koichiro, and the tone he spoke to him seemed a bit arrogant, but his strength also gave Kawada Masashi the confidence to speak like this.
At the center position, Masashi Kawada can be regarded as the best in the country. Even Takenori Akagi is far behind him, let alone Nango Koichiro.
"What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"Bald orangutan, I want you to look good later!"
Nango Koichiro rolled his eyes at Kawada and said nothing, but in his heart he was already scolding him, and the resentment was conveyed from Nango's eyes.
Seeing the look in his opponent's eyes, Kawada Masashi also grinned, clenched his fists, and the crisp sound of bone crackling reached Nanxiang's ears, which was full of pressure.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Wild monkey, bleached monkey, you two just prepare to die!"
"This genius will lead the team to defeat you!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was standing on the side of the center circle, faced Oda Ryumasa, and suddenly burst into laughter with his hands on his hips, mocking Nango and others. And his words not only attracted the attention of everyone in Xiangbei, but also the youth training team.
However, no one from the youth training team who heard this came out to refute Sakuragi's words. The substitute players on the sidelines even shouted something like "You must not show mercy" at Sakuragi.
Sakuragi seems to be quite recognized among the team! ?
"Beep——"
Before everyone in Xiangbei could think about it, the referee had already blown the whistle to start the game.
The basketball was thrown into the air under the watchful eyes of everyone.
"hey-hey!"
"Drink!!!"
Nango Koichiro shouted loudly and accurately grasped the timing of his jump. He jumped up and tried to point the ball towards his own half. However, Masashi Kawada in front of him just chuckled and came from behind. Instead, he hit the basketball first. Shoot the ball towards your backcourt.
The basketball flew into the backcourt of the youth training team. Rukawa Kaede raised his hand, grabbed the ball, and then took it towards the frontcourt.
After the youth training team won the jump ball, a large number of players also poured into the Xiangbei half. Kawada Masashi sank directly into the inside, but Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was also inside, did not go to the inside, but headed towards the bottom corner on the left side of the court.
Mike Okita and Eiji Sawabita were in the corner positions on both sides of the three-point line, while Rukawa Kaede, who was advancing with the ball, slowly advanced directly towards the top of the arc.
In just a few seconds, the youth training team had completed its positioning and moved very quickly.
The defensive strategy adopted by Shohoku High School is man-to-man, which is basic, but it won't cause too many problems. The cooperation time between players is not too long. Oda Ryumasa is not very compatible with Nango and others on the defensive end, so Shohoku adopts the simplest defensive strategy.
And this kind of defensive position is full of flaws in the eyes of the youth training players.
In the bottom corner, Sakuragi Hanamichi saw Rukawa Kaede approaching the top of the arc with the ball. He looked at Oda Ryumasa who was looking at Rukawa Kaede. He curled up the corner of his mouth and a "√" appeared on his face, looking like a crooked dragon king. feel.
Stepping up and accelerating, Sakuragi Hanamichi bypassed Oda Ryumasa from outside the baseline and cut directly towards the basket. However, his actions did not arouse the alertness of the defensive players, and even Nango Koichiro under the basket did not pay attention. When he saw Sakuragi's actions, his attention was completely occupied by Kawada Masashi.
This bald gorilla's ability under the basket is really terrifying. Nango Koichiro tried his best, but he could barely maintain his position and didn't let anyone push him directly out of the basket. Nango Koichiro couldn't find the time to pay attention to other people at this moment.
"I'm coming!"
As Sakuragi quickly entered the basket, the youth training players on the sidelines shouted with joy. The Shohoku players on the sidelines also noticed Sakuragi Hanamichi, and just as they were about to issue a reminder, Rukawa Kaede at the top of the arc had already lobbed the ball toward the basket.
The basketball flew directly over Kiyota Nobunaga's head and fell towards the basket. Just as the basketball was falling, Sakuragi Hanamichi jumped into the basket, glided from the side to the front of the basket, and grabbed it with one hand. He caught the falling basketball and poured the ball into the basket.
By the time Nango Koichiro was under the basket and realized something was wrong and tried to block it, it was already too late. Nango Koichiro, who jumped a beat too late, directly became the background for Sakuragi Hanamichi's slam dunk and was directly dunked.
After a loud noise, Sakuragi grabbed the basket with one hand, and the basketball quickly fell from the net, landed on the bottom board, and rolled towards the outside of the baseline.
"Oh!!!Jesus!!!"
"Woohoo~~~~"
As Sakuragi Hanamichi scored the ball with an alley-oop dunk, the two black men in the youth training team immediately jumped up from their seats. One of them slapped his head with his hand and shouted "Jesus".
One made a strange cry and smiled broadly.
The other youth training players also cheered and waved towels, and the atmosphere was quite lively.
Sakuragi fell back to the ground and raised his hands flat, making a flying gesture.
When he quickly returned to the field, he deliberately passed by his team's dugout, high-fived his two black teammates in celebration, and even turned around to talk trash to Nanxiang Biao, saying in English: "What's up?"
Listening to Sakuragi Hanamichi's provocation, the two black teammates smiled even more happily, loudly encouraging Sakuragi in English, and even helped Sakuragi provoke Nango Koichiro in English.
It can be seen that Hanamichi Sakuragi gets along very well with these two black teammates, and the team atmosphere in the youth training team is also quite good.
"Hahaha! Well done! Sakuragi!"
"As expected of the excellent players I trained!"
In the youth training rest area beside the court, Coach Otani also praised loudly, directly classifying Sakuragi Hanamichi as "the player he trained".
And his words immediately attracted Coach Anxi's attention.
However, Coach Ohtani seemed unaware and praised Sakuragi Hanamichi's performance over and over again. Sakuragi Hanamichi completely lost himself in the praises from his teammates. He looked at the people in Shohoku with fiery eyes and shouted:
"Come on! Let's defeat this genius!"
"Mortals of Xiangbei!! Hahahaha!!"
Jinguji Budo looked at the complacent Sakuragi Hanamichi speechlessly. He couldn't help but look at Coach Otani on the sidelines. He didn't expect that the coach of the youth training team had mastered Sakuragi Hanamichi's "instructions for use" so quickly. ".
Moreover, Coach Ohtani didn't seem to correct Sakuragi Hanamichi's arrogance at all. Instead, he encouraged Sakuragi to the greatest extent and promoted Sakuragi's enthusiasm. This kind of education method is not Asian at all, but rather "American".
"Don't underestimate anyone!"
"Coach Otani is very skilled."
"The offensive tactics surrounding Sakuragi are really difficult to handle."
"In the aerial battle of Sakuragi Hanamichi, apart from me, I'm afraid there's no one else in Shohoku who can resist him."
A glimpse of something tells the whole story. Jinguji Budo only saw one attack by the youth training team, and he already felt troubled. Oda Ryumasa's athletic ability and jumping ability are far inferior to Sakuragi. If Sakuragi makes an air cut from outside the three-point line, there is a high probability that he can get rid of Oda Ryumasa's defense.
For Xiangbei, this is a huge defensive hole that needs to be filled as soon as possible!
"Hoho~" Coach Anzai pushed up his glasses, looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi on the court, and let out a sigh. He also saw that Sakuragi Hanamichi's nature had been completely unleashed by Coach Ohtani.
Everyone in Shohoku has seen Sakuragi Hanamichi's strength, and they are not very surprised that Sakuragi has such a performance, but everyone is surprised that Sakuragi is so "jumping" now, and his personality is even more "bad" than before. Now Even the martial arts of Jinguji Temple are looked down upon, which is something no one expected.
What Sakuragi said was a map cannon, and even martial arts was hurt.
Everyone in Xiangbei was also completely angered by Sakuragi's attitude. The team members on the sidelines were excited and shouted loudly for Martial Arts to show Sakuragi some color.
In the court, Nango Koichiro threw the ball out with a look of displeasure on his face. After Nobunaga Kiyota got the basketball, he started dribbling the ball towards the front court.
After entering the frontcourt, Kiyota Nobunaga directly gave the ball to Jinguji Budo on the side. The moment Budo got the basketball, Mike Okita, who was originally guarding Katsumi Ichiro, quickly moved up and was faintly stuck in the middle of Budo and Katsumi Ichiro. .
While guarding against Wu Dao's pass, it also threatened Wu Dao's breakthrough.
His position allowed him to come up and attack Jinguji Martial Arts at the moment of breakthrough. At the same time, Masashi Kawada and Hanamichi Sakuragi on the inside also looked at Jinguji Martial Arts with eager eyes.
"Sakuragi, if your martial arts brother breaks through, I will go up to defend first. You have to watch his movements clearly. The backbone of our defense depends on your genius!"
Taking advantage of Jinguji Budo not attacking with the ball, Masashi Kawada smiled and complimented Sakuragi next to him, as if coaxing a child.
And Sakuragi obviously liked this very much. He nodded heavily and said, "Oh!!"
Feeling the gaze of everyone in the youth training team, Wu Dao couldn't help but feel hot inside.
Very stressful! This kind of defense is very stressful!
"This kind of defense is worth defeating!"
Jinguji Budo murmured softly, and the rhythm of dribbling began to change. Budo, who was originally a high dribbler, also dropped his center of gravity slightly, making continuous bad luck, while watching the defense of Eiji Sawabita and others.
Suddenly, after a bad luck, Jinguji Budo stepped forward with his right foot. The basketball stuck to Jinguji Budo's hand and moved forward to the right along the direction of the step. Just as Sawabita Eiji slid to follow. The moment he entered, the basketball fell in front of Wu Dao and was directed to his left hand.
With a large levitating change of direction, Jinguji Martial Arts passed directly from Zebei's left side and leaned directly on the opponent, pushing the opponent back.
At the moment when Jinguji Budo passed over Eiji Zehoku, Mike Okita had already rushed in front of Budo. He seemed to have expected that Zehoku would be passed through and was prepared to fill the gap in advance.
Watching the defense coming, Budo looked at Nobunaga Kiyota who was cutting from the left and entering the mid-range. He dribbled one step forward and then directly grabbed the ball with his right hand and moved it to his back.
"Are you going to pass the ball behind the back?!" Mike Okita looked at the martial arts action and quickly turned to look at Nobunaga Kiyota. At the same time, he moved quickly to block it. Sakuragi and Masashi Kawada who were under the basket also looked sideways at Nobunaga Kiyota. .
Just when everyone thought that Budo was going to pass the ball, Budo, who was holding the ball with one hand, took one step and passed Mike Okita directly. After another step, he directly grabbed the ball with one hand and took off. He didn't use his supporting hand at all and just flowed gracefully Shot release.
The basketball flew out of Wu Dao's hands and flew directly towards the basket. Then, under the surprised eyes of everyone in the youth training, the basketball hit the net with a crisp sound.
"Uh-huh!"
The soft sound of the basketball hitting the net reached everyone's ears. Seeing Jinguji Budo score the ball so easily, everyone in the youth training suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
"The best players in the country have gathered together, but they are still so vulnerable in front of Jinguji Budo."
"There is no doubt that this Jinguji Budo player has already surpassed the so-called 'youth training' level."
"No wonder he has no interest in youth training. His goal is probably no longer here!"
"The Yellow Storm at Oak Hill Academy"
"The gap is actually so big!"
Just by watching Jinguji Martial Arts attack with his own eyes, Coach Otani felt the gap between Jinguji Martial Arts and his own players.
Although the youth training represents the highest level in this country, it is obvious that some players have already exceeded this "level".
The strength of Jinguji martial arts has been proven in every game!
"Let me think about it, how can we stop a player like this?"
