Mori Shigehiro's outstanding inside ability quickly attracted the attention of many members of the coaching staff.
During the body-side stage, many members of the coaching staff had actually noticed this first-year center from Hainan. But the body side is just the body side after all, compared to Takenori Akagi and Jun Uozumi who hold the title of "Champion Center".
Shigehiro Mori was not looked upon highly by members of the coaching staff at the center position.
Hainan High School could not even pass the county competition, and the famous coaches from these universities only paid a little attention to Mori Shigehiro at first.
But now, seeing how easily Shigehiro Mori got past Jun Uozumi's defense and went to the basket to complete a slam dunk in the actual combat stage, everyone's attention was focused on Shigehiro Mori.
Also a giant center with a height of more than two meters, first-year Mori Shigehiro's ability shows more potential than third-year Jun Uozumi.
In the stadium, after the white team completed the attack, they quickly retreated to defense. Although Mori Shigehiro was huge, he was also very fast in returning to defense. He and the white team's back line returned to their own half with the front and rear feet, and then quickly entered Got to the bottom line.
Not long after, Rukawa Kaede entered the frontcourt with the ball. After arriving in the frontcourt, Rukawa Kaede raised his eyes and glanced at Uozumi Jun, who had just entered the inside position behind the basket, and then glanced at Shinomiya Tano on both sides. After meeting Sendao, it was discovered that neither of them had any intention of actively running to catch the ball.
Seeing this scene, Rukawa Kaede instantly understood the intentions of his teammates.
On the basketball court, sometimes there is not only simple right and wrong, but also the wisdom of the world. Of course, this sophistication is different from the so-called "sophistication" off the court. On the court, a qualified point guard needs to be able to grasp the mentality of his teammates.
In this situation, Jun Uozumi is a "champion center" and a third-year player, and now he is dunked on his head by a first-year center.
Needless to say, Uozumi is definitely holding a breath in his chest right now.
If such anger cannot be vented smoothly, it may affect Uozumi's enthusiasm on the court.
Nowadays, the teams on both sides of the game are improvised. If it is Lingnan's own point guard Fujima Kenji, even if he does not pass the ball to Uozumi, Uozumi may not say anything, because they are familiar enough, and Uozumi knows that Fuji Really pass selection is all about winning.
But Rukawa Kaede is different. Uozumi and Rukawa Kaede are not familiar with each other. If Rukawa Kaede does not give Uozumi a chance to prove himself at this time, Uozumi will most likely feel that he has been underestimated by Rukawa Kaede, a first-year student.
Once you become distrustful of your teammates' choices, conflicts within the team can easily occur.
This situation is not uncommon on immature high school courts.
If it were Rukawa Kaede in the past, he really wouldn't care about Uozumi Jun's mood, but would just play the style of play that he thinks is best for the team.
But now Rukawa Kaede already knows how to motivate his teammates by passing the ball.
He kept his body straight and passed the basketball directly from Rukawa Kaede's hands, and lobbed it toward Uozumi Jun on the inside. Jun Uozumi, who had Morishigehiro at his back, took a step forward and took the initiative to meet the ball.
He grabbed the ball with one hand, then turned his back to the basket, put the ball in his arms, turned his head slightly to the left, and looked at Morishigehiro's position. Seeing that Morishigehiro was standing a little to the right, Uozumi no longer hesitated, quickly dropped the ball, turned directly to face the frame, and at the same time pressed his body hard against Morishigehiro, and invaded towards the basket.
"Bang!"
Two sturdy men, Jun Uozumi and Shigehiro Mori, collided. Jun Uozumi dribbled the ball with his right hand and quickly invaded the basket. Then he followed Mori Shigehiro and took off directly, and the basketball in his hand also quickly hooked towards the basket.
The traditional center style of play relies on the body to push into the inside. Yuzhu does not have any fancy passing moves and relies on his solid body.
"Snapped!"
Mori Shigehiro, who was defending Uozumi Jun, only raised his hands when facing Uozumi Jun's hook. Under such physical confrontation, Mori Shigehiro was unable to fully utilize his jumping, and the basketball passed directly over his head. , scraped against the backboard, and then bounced into the basket.
"Well done! Yuzhu!"
"pretty!"
After Uozumi successfully scored, Shinomiya and others smiled and encouraged him. When returning to defense, Uozumi quickly came to Rukawa Kaede's side, stretched out his fist towards Rukawa Kaede, and proactively said: "Good pass, Rukawa Kaede!"
Rukawa Kaede glanced at Uozumi Jun, who was holding out his fist. He hesitated a little, then extended his fist to fist bump with Uozumi, and responded softly: "Oh!"
"Amu, fight inside."
"Give the first-year guys on our team a chance to perform."
Jinguji Budo did not run to the frontcourt immediately after his opponent scored. After receiving the serve from Mori Shigehiro in the backcourt, Maki Shinichi shouted to Maki Shinichi.
After hearing this, Mu Shen turned his head and looked at Jinguji Martial Arts. Seeing Martial Arts' smile, he nodded.
After all, it is just a practice match. Although this practice match martial arts still wants to win very much, but if we can see the battle between Uozumi Jun and Akagi Twin Towers against the first-year inside combination of Morishigehiro and Sakuragi, it must be the same. A very interesting thing.
He wanted to see if these two first-year players could surpass their third-year seniors.
After receiving the instructions from Jinguji Martial Arts, Mu Shen became more relaxed when dribbling the ball.
In fact, there have been several balls played back and forth from the beginning to now, but Jinguji Budo has never held the ball for a long time. Maki Shinichi is still thinking about Budo's emotions after not getting the ball for so long.
After all, he is the captain of Shohoku High School and the super ace who led Shohoku to win the championship. In Mu Shenyi's imagination, martial arts should be very persistent in the possession of the ball.
After all, he has watched many games in Shohoku. Shohoku's offensive rounds and basketball are controlled by Jinguji Budo most of the time.
Originally, with this attack, Mu Shenyi planned to pass the ball to Martial Arts to take care of Jinguji Martial Arts' mood.
Unexpectedly, Jinguji Martial Arts didn't care about this kind of thing at all, but instead signaled him to continue playing inside.
In this case, Mu Shenyi breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, Mu Shen's main idea is to continue playing inside. He feels that Mori Shigehiro's ability will not lose to Lingnan's Uozumi, and he wants the first-year players in his team to continue playing.
While thinking about it, Mu Shen quickly brought the basketball into the frontcourt, and just when Mu Shen brought the ball close to the three-point line, Mori Shigehiro, who was originally planning to go to the inside and position himself, quickly ran back and came quickly. When he reached the side of the free throw line, he reached out towards Mu Shen for the ball.
An insider actually came to a place like this to ask for the ball?
Mori Shigehiro's actions instantly attracted the attention of the players on the court, and they all looked sideways at Mori Shigehiro.
Mu Shen did not hesitate because Morishigehiro was far away from the basket. After a feint, he quickly hit the ball to the ground and passed it to Morishigehiro.
After the latter got the ball, he quickly turned around to face the basket. At the same time, the basketball in his hand quickly feinted towards his right side. At the moment when Yuzhu's pure defense was mobilized, he quickly dropped the ball and changed direction, rushing towards the left. In an instant Crossed Uozumi Jun.
"It's passed?!"
"Throw the fish away!"
On the side of the court, the coaches were all looking at Morishigehiro. At this time, in the court, Morishigehiro had quickly dribbled the ball past Uozumi and rushed towards the basket.
Takenori Akagi, who was originally guarding Sakuragi Hanamichi, saw Uozumi being left behind by the opponent and quickly stepped forward to defend him.
However, just as Morishigehiro was approaching the basket, Morishigehiro suddenly hit the ball high and came directly in front of Takenori Akagi in one step. The moment Akagi saw the basketball in front of him, he subconsciously reached out to intercept it, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Morishigehiro took another step, directly passed Akagi, entered the basket, and then made a light layup. The ball was put into the basket.
As the basketball entered the net, Shinomiya Tōno, Sendō Akira and others looked at Morishigehiro with astonishment on their faces. Even Jinguji Martial Arts was full of surprise at this moment. They didn't expect Morishigehiro to have such a skill.
Facing Jun Uozumi, he cleverly used his speed to pull his opponent out of the paint.
Facing Takenori Akagi, Shigehiro Mori was actually able to use the rhythm changes during the ball to pass his opponent and score the ball.
Such a delicate operation actually appeared in the hands of a huge center like Shigehiro Mori.
This inconsistent but impactful style of play caught everyone by surprise.
How to put it, it's like you see O'Neal's size, and then use the footsteps of a big dream to break through the opponent and complete the score.
O'Pang's footsteps are really extremely agile, and at this time, Morishigehiro also has some shadows of O'Neal. Although he is still very young, if he keeps such a body shape and such flexibility, there is no guarantee that Morishigehiro will not be able to do it. Become a similar player.
There is no doubt that Mori Shigehiro's draft template is O'Neal.
"This boy has really outstanding abilities!"
"If Hainan hadn't been crushed by Shohoku and Lingnan in Kanagawa Prefecture, this first grader would have definitely shined in this year's national competition!"
"Baby! I didn't expect there to be such a treasure in Kanagawa Prefecture!"
The white team began to return to defense, and the college coaches on the coaching staff looked at Mori Shigehiro with golden eyes. There are even some coaches who have secretly made plans to poach players. They contacted college coaches from other counties early before they discovered such a player.
In the hope that Mori Shigehiro can be brought back to his team in the future.
These coaches have such high requirements for Mori Shigehiro in their hearts, and they do not expect Mori Shigehiro to grow to O'Neal's level.
They only hope that Shigehiro Mori can become the number one center in the country and lead his university to win the championship for several consecutive years!
With the talent Mori Shigehiro has shown so far, as long as he is equipped with a strong enough partner, he will definitely be the favorite to win the championship in the future!
"But...it's really a pity!"
"Such an outstanding young man is playing in the same prefecture as Jinguji Martial Arts and Shinomiya Tanano."
"However, we are very lucky. Both Jinguji Martial Arts and Shinomiya Tanoh are one grade higher than Mori Shigehiro."
"This kid still has a chance to show his face in the national competition."
After watching for a while, the coaches turned their attention to Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tanano on the court, and then let out a sigh.
Shigehiro Mori is indeed excellent, but that's all.
In front of players like Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tōno, he still looks a bit young.
The practice match on the court was in full swing. Both teams adopted a positional warfare style of play, mainly playing inside.
Takenori Akagi did not have much advantage in the matchup with Sakuragi Hanamichi. Sakuragi Hanamichi already has sufficient defensive experience, and he will not fall behind against one of the best inside players in the county like Akagi.
As for the matchup between Jun Uozumi and Shigehiro Mori, Uozumi is slightly at a disadvantage.
This disadvantage was mainly on the offensive end. Uozumi's defense was very good. In the next game, Mori Shigehiro also tried to bring Uozumi out from the inside again, but Uozumi was not fooled at all, and Mori Shigehiro The mid-range shooting ability is a bit eye-catching, and there is no way to send the ball into the net well.
But the opposite is also true. Jun Uozumi's mid-range shooting is also very bad, and Shigehiro Mori is the elder brother and younger brother. No one needs to say who is the other.
Moreover, Mori Shigehiro's strength is also very good. He is not quick to catch the basket, and it is not easy to get past Mori Shigehiro's defense.
Therefore, the offensive efficiency of both teams is very low. It seemed that the two practice matches were very intense, but the scores of the two teams did not improve much at all.
The game lasted for more than ten minutes, and the score between the two teams was still only 20:19, and the point difference was only one point.
And the terrible thing is that Maki Shinichi seems to be planning to fight Morishigehiro to the death. This kid has to deal with Uozumi's defense and Akagi's supplementary defense back and forth. At this point in the game, he is already sweating.
On the other hand, Hanamichi Sakuragi, who is also an insider, has not even touched the ball so far in the game. Like him, Budo and Fujima are watching Mori Shigehiro's performance.
However, Sakuragi Hanamichi is different from Budo and Fujima in their indifferent mentality. This kid has not received the ball a few times in such a long time. At this moment, he is holding anger in his chest, waiting for an opportunity to explode.
In the same first grade, Hanamichi Sakuragi saw that Shigehiro Mori constantly had opportunities to take the ball and attack, but he didn't have many opportunities.
To say that he is not angry or jealous is not Sakuragi Hanamichi.
"Snapped!!!"
At this moment, Morishigehiro caught the ball inside, turned sideways and shot a small floater. The moment the basketball rose, Akagi came from the side and blocked it with a slap.
The basketball fell rapidly and hit Sakuragi Hanamichi's chest. Sakuragi's mind was distracted at this moment. The basketball bounced back and he didn't have time to catch the ball.
Then the basketball was picked up by Uozumi. After receiving the ball, Uozumi quickly passed the ball.
Morishigehiro, who was blocked, happened to see Sakuragi Hanamichi throw the ball when he landed, and he taunted:
"Redhead, are you in a daze?"
"Are your hands used to hold tofu?"
"If you can't fight, just go down."
Morishigehiro's words immediately exploded Sakuragi Hanamichi, who had been frustrated for the whole game.
"asshole."
"What did you say?!"
