Shinomiya's spearhead was originally directed at Jinguji Martial Arts, who was ranked in front of him, but when he saw Kurutani Sora appear out of nowhere, he felt inexplicably angry in his heart, and at the same time, he directed his anger towards Kurutani Sora. Gu Kong poured out.
"I have a clear understanding of my own strength."
"Challenging Jinguji-senpai is just because I want to compete with the strongest player."
"As for you, senior"
"Sorry, who are you?"
Sora Kurutani raised his head and looked at Shinomiya Tōno with a sincere face and asked. When the players around him heard this, their expressions changed suddenly and they turned their heads to look at Shinomiya Tōno.
When Mu Shen looked at Shinomiya Tianye's face that had completely darkened, he shook his head with a smile and whispered to himself: "It's really true. Dare you say it!"
"Are all first-year guys from Xiangbei so brave?"
Rukawa Kaede was in the middle of the queue next to him. Hearing these words, he also looked sideways at Kuratani Sora. He was a little surprised. He could imagine that the guy who dared to challenge Shinomiya Tano must be a very "brave" person. , but there is still a huge difference between bravery and brainlessness.
"Hey, Tianye, I don't know you."
"Get out of the way quickly and let him challenge the 'strongest player'."
Xiandao had already walked to Shinomiya's side at this moment, patted Shinomiya's shoulder with a smile, and said this to Shinomiya, his tone full of teasing.
This is the first time even Sendo has seen a player like Sora Kurutani. Ever since Shinomiya High School, no, or rather since Shinomiya officially participated in campus basketball games, almost no one will underestimate him.
"You don't recognize me!"
"Boy, you will have a chance to meet me!"
Shinomiya Tōno had a dark face, shrugged his shoulders and shook off Sendō's hand, took a deep look at Sora Kurutani, and then silently moved out of the way. His expression returned to normal at this moment, but Xiandao, who was familiar with Shinomiya Fields, knew that this guy was really angry now.
"There's a good show to watch!"
"Now, it's impossible for this guy Ye Ye to hold back against anyone."
Sendao smiled secretly in his heart, and when he walked to the sidelines, he also took a deep look at Sora Kurutani.
He wanted to take a look at the players from Shohoku High School to see what kind of arrogance such a little man had.
From the perspective of other players, past dozens of players, from the end of the rankings, they directly challenge the top-ranked Jinguji Martial Arts. And he also mocked the ace of Lingnan High School, Shinomiya Tano.
This series of operations performed by Sora Kurutani were really too arrogant.
However, from Kuratani Sora's own perspective, he didn't feel anything special.
He just wants to challenge the players he wants to challenge, that's all.
As for Shinomiya, I'm sorry, he really doesn't pay much attention to it. When he was in junior high school, he didn't care about high school basketball games.
And when he entered high school, the person who became famous all over the country was Jinguji Martial Arts, which led Shohoku to win the championship. Sora Kurutani knows something about the championship team, but he doesn't know much about the top four teams.
He knew that Shinomiya, who was ranked second in the Autumn National Sports Selection, might be very strong, but with his character, he could challenge the strongest, so why challenge weaker players? !
How could the simple-minded Sora Kurutani know the importance of Shinomiya Tano in the hearts of Kanagawa Prefecture players.
Is it because Reinan High School lost to Shohoku because Shinomiya Tōno is not as good as Jinguji Martial Arts? Not entirely, it's simply because Xiangbei's lineup is more reasonable, the court performance is better, and the bench is deeper.
The strength of Shinomiya Tōno and Jinguji Martial Arts are probably only between equals. If two people compete, the possibility of mutual destruction will be greater.
Coach Taoka, who was presiding over this assessment, saw Shinomiya Tano returning to the team silently. He also looked at Sora Kurutani attentively. He didn't say anything, but turned his head and said to the players:
"Everyone, please retreat outside the stadium and clear the field!"
"The first game, just by"
"What's your name?!"
Coach Taoka was choked when he wanted to call Sora Kurutani's name, and then asked Sora Kurutani.
"Kurutani Sora!" Kurutani Sora arranged his jersey, stuffed his jersey into his shorts, raised his head, and answered Coach Taoka's question.
Coach Taoka nodded and continued: "Kurutani Sora-san challenges Jinguji Martial Arts-san."
"You decide who will attack first and who will attack last. If you are ready, just start."
Coach Tianoka said, waving his hands towards the players, signaling them to leave the court.
After Coach Taoka finished speaking, Jinguji Budo also walked out of the queue, slowly walked outside the three-point line, turned his head sideways, waved to Kurutani Sora, and said:
"Kuratani Sora, you attack first."
"If you are ready, just start."
Budao said, pinching his neck with his right hand and flexing his muscles a little. Hearing this, Kuratani Sora also picked up a basketball with a smile on his face. Without being polite to Budo, he walked directly towards the three-point line.
"So high."
"Only when you really stand opposite a martial arts senior can you feel this terrifying sense of oppression."
"Damn it. Is this the talent gap?!"
Kurutani Sora held the ball and stood one meter away from Budo. He slightly raised his head and looked at Miyaji Budo, feeling a lot of pressure in his heart.
Martial Arts was just standing there, but the terrifying sense of oppression made Che Gukong shake his heart.
"let's start."
As Wu Dao spoke, he bent down slightly, raised one hand flat, and raised the other high. His big hand directly covered Kuratani Sora's head. Looking at the blocked sky above, Kuratani Sora truly realized it at this moment. How terrifying is a player like Jinguji Budo.
"Just standing there makes people unable to think of resisting!"
On the side of the court, Miyagi Ryota looked at Jinguji Budou and Kuratani Sora who were facing each other on the court. He looked at the huge body gap and couldn't help but whisper.
He is a veteran player from Shohoku and has faced off against Jinguji Martial Arts. The suffocation caused by the height difference left a deep impression on Miyagi Ryota's mind.
He was already like this. Kurutani Sora, a young man who was nearly ten centimeters shorter than him, probably felt more suffocated than he did at that time!
"Bang!" In the stadium, Sora Kurutani handed the ball to Jinguji Budo and inspected the ball.
Budo grabbed the basketball with one hand and quickly threw it back to Sora Kurutani, smiling and saying: "Let's start!"
In fact, there was no need for Jinguji Martial Arts to remind him that Kurutani Sora had already taken action after regaining the basketball. Small versus big, Kuratani Sora knew that if he had any advantage over Jinguji Martial Arts, it would be speed!
Snapped!
The moment the basketball fell, Kurutani Sora accelerated his breakthrough and instantly passed Jinguji Budo's defense. His sharp breakthrough also made the players watching the ball look stunned.
"Breakthrough?!"
"So fast! This kid is so fast!"
Waves of exclamations came from the sidelines, and there was some surprise in Xiandao's eyes. However, Shinomiya Tano standing next to him lowered his eyelids slightly and whispered: "It's so tender!"
In the stadium, Jinguji Budo, who was quickly passed by Kurutani Sora, just turned around. After two simple steps, he directly caught up with Kurutani Sora who broke through. But Budo had no intention of making a move and just looked at Kuratani Sora. The basketball in Gu Kong's hand is waiting for the opponent's layup.
"Catching up?!"
"Such a tall body can actually be so fast."
"He is worthy of being called the strongest high school student in the country. It's obviously not that easy to surpass him like this."
As he rushed towards the basket, several thoughts quickly flashed through Kuratani's mind. After rushing into the basket, Kuratani jumped hard, grabbed the basketball with both hands and raised it.
Watching this scene, Budo did not jump, but followed closely behind Kurutani Sora, raising his right arm directly, blocking Kurutani Sora's layup route.
Facing Kurutani Sora's layup, Jinguji Budo didn't even need to take off to seal his opponent!
The next moment, Kurutani Sora, who was holding the ball, realized that this layup was not possible. He quickly put the ball away, grabbed the basketball with his left hand, and threw the ball from the side to the basket with a hook.
A young man who was only a little over 150cm tall actually used a lever under the gaze of everyone. It must be said that Sora Kurutani's skills were quite comprehensive.
However.
The basketball just flew out of Kuratani Sora's hands. The big hand that was covering Kuratani Sora's head a second ago quickly moved sideways and accurately caught the flying basketball.
"Bang!!" The basketball that just flew up was directly caught by Jinguji Budo with one hand, and then quickly put into his arms.
The whole process of grabbing the hat, carriage and valley was empty, and Jinguji Temple martial arts did not have any jumps or jumps.
“ohhhh!!!”
"Just grab the hat, there's no jumping at all!"
"With this height and such speed, this guy is too exaggerated!"
The players watching the game on the sidelines exclaimed when they saw Sora Kurutani being taken off his hat. After just one round of confrontation, the strength gap between the two sides was already obvious.
In front of Jinguji Martial Arts, Kuratani Sora is like a child. No one can imagine the scene of Kuratani Sora scoring in front of Jinguji Martial Arts.
"First goal."
Jinguji Budo said softly, holding the basketball in one hand and walking towards the three-point line, then pressed the ball to the ground with one hand, turned his head and said to Sora Kurutani:
"continue!"
After hearing this, Sora Kurutani walked out of the astonishment, turned around, walked silently outside the three-point line, picked up the basketball, raised his head and looked at Jinguji Martial Arts, without seeing anything on his face. of frustration.
"Good expression."
Budao looked at Kuratani Sora, nodded, and praised.
Kurutani Sora didn't reply. He moved his hands and threw the ball to Jinguji Budo. Budo slapped his right hand and then stood on the spot with his arms raised.
Budo's wingspan was completely opened. Sora Kurutani looked at Budo's defensive range with a solemn expression.
"call"
"A pure breakthrough cannot be scored in the hands of Jinguji-senpai."
"I have to unbalance his center of gravity before I have a chance."
"He's very tall, so I don't have a chance!"
Kurutani Kong was thinking about a way to break through. After thinking for a moment, he quickly dropped the ball with his right hand and accelerated his advance. But this time, Kuratani Sora did not directly attack the martial arts defense line. After dribbling to speed up, Kuratani Sora quickly made an emergency stop and pulled back. He made a beautiful change from front to back, and suspended the ball with his left hand. It looked like it was Be prepared for continuous changes of direction.
Kurutani Sora's movements obviously attracted Budo's attention. From the corner of his eye, he looked at the basketball in Kurutani Sora's hand. While his legs were staggered and adjusted, his center of gravity also lowered.
Kurutani Sora's eyes lit up when he saw Budo's defensive action. His left hand that caught the ball suddenly sent the ball towards Jinguji Budo's crotch, intending to pass through Jinguji Budo's defense line.
In a one-on-one situation, as long as you can seize the opportunity to fight against the big one, this kind of breakthrough method can often achieve quite good results. At the same time, the defensive players will often change their defensive choices after being passed by. No plan.
Kurutani Sora had already planned in his mind how he would score points after crossing Jinguji Martial Arts!
However, the moment the basketball hit the ground under Budo's crotch, Jinguji Budo suddenly pulled his knees and directly blocked the ball. Under Kurutani Sora's astonished eyes, Jinguji Budo had already grabbed it. Basketball, take the ball in your hands.
"spread!"
"Third ball!"
Jinguji Budo looked at Sora Kurutani with a shocked face, casually threw the ball back to the opponent, and said to the opponent.
Kuratani Sora came to his senses, raised his hands slightly to catch the basketball subconsciously, lowered his head and glanced at the basketball in his hand, as if he was still wondering why he didn't pass the opponent.
"You are so tall and yet so agile?!"
"A monster?"
Kuratani Sora couldn't help but mutter to himself, and then heard Jinguji Budo in front of him clapped his hands and reminded: "Continue, the third ball!"
Kuratani Sora nodded, and after giving the ball to Jinguji Martial Arts for inspection, he began to think about ways to attack.
This time, he even became more cautious when dropping the ball.
Wu Dao's defensive posture remained unchanged, still maintaining a distance of half a meter from the opponent, raising his hands flat, passively waiting for the opponent's attack.
And Budo's defensive posture also allowed Sora Kurutani to see an opportunity!
Kurutani Sora moved his right foot slightly, and moved the position of Budou with a tentative step. The moment the ball dropped quickly, Kurutani Sora accelerated to break through. Budotani did not pursue him, but just followed behind Kurutani Sora, keeping a distance.
Kurutani Sora glanced at Budokai from the corner of his eye. After a sideways step, he was nearly one meter away from Budokai, and then quickly combined the ball and shot.
The position of his shot was only one step inside the three-point line. Normally, no one would shoot from this position.
Because it is too far away from the basket, half a step back is already outside the three-point line. Even if they want to score from outside, generally speaking, players choose to shoot three-pointers instead of two-pointers.
But Kuratani Sora still shot from this position. He believed that Jinguji Budo would not be wary of a sudden shot from this position.
In fact, this is indeed the case, Jinguji Martial Arts is really unguarded.
but
To deal with such an opponent, it is actually not too late to react after seeing clearly the opponent's offensive intentions! !
The moment Sora Kurutani shot, a black shadow flew directly from his side. His tall body directly blocked the sunlight in front of Sora Kurutani. A big hand directly grabbed the basketball in mid-air and forcefully knocked the ball out of the air. Picked it from the air.
After landing, Jinguji Budo grabbed the ball with one hand, looked down at Kuratani Sora, and said softly:
"The fourth ball."
