Sakuragi Hanamichi's consecutive goals really surprised everyone.
Under the defense of Jinguji Budo, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was not favored by everyone, actually relied on his own ability to score two goals in a row, which suddenly refreshed his impression on other players.
Very strong, the performance of these two goals is very strong!
The current Sakuragi Hanamichi gives people such a feeling.
"The layups and shots are looking good."
"Perhaps because of his opponent, Sakuragi Hanamichi is more focused than ever."
"Martial Arts, please realize this quickly. This little disciple of yours is different from before."
"If you don't use some means, this kid will go wild on you!"
On the side of the court, Shinomiya, who was watching the ball, saw the situation on the court very clearly. Although he and Sakuragi Hanamichi had not known each other for long, he realized what happened to Sakuragi Hanamichi when he saw Sakuragi's current playing state.
Concentration, for a basketball player, the strength of concentration will directly affect the player's performance.
Some professionals who focus on the game can still perform at their peak on the court even if their fingers are broken.
In fact, there is no need to be reminded by others. As the guide of Sakuragi Hanamichi, Jinguji Martial Arts has naturally noticed the changes that have occurred in Sakuragi.
However, in this regard, Martial Arts has no plans to make any other defensive changes.
He really wanted to see what Sakuragi Hanamichi could do.
Between the alternation of offense and defense, the basketball passed through several times and came into the hands of Jinguji Budo in the frontcourt. As soon as the basketball was taken, Jinguji Budo once again encountered a double-team from Rukawa Kaede and Miyagi Ryota.
But this time, Wu Dao was no longer strong on his own. Instead, when the two men came up to double-team, he quickly passed the ball to Mu Shenyi, who was cutting through the air.
After getting the basketball, Mu Shen went straight to the basket, faced Takenori Akagi's defense, and forced a layup to score the ball.
Not only that, Mu Shenyi's powerful ability to attack the basket also successfully deceived Takenori Akagi into a foul.
When the referee's whistle sounded, Mu Shen stepped onto the free throw line and made a solid free throw, making the score 2+1.
Looking at Mu Shenyi who was returning to his defense, Sakuragi Hanamichi touched his chin thoughtfully, with a faint light shining in his eyes.
"What is this kid thinking about?"
Takenori Akagi walked past Sakuragi Hanamichi and went to the baseline to shoot a free throw. Seeing Sakuragi's thoughtful look, he couldn't help but look at Sakuragi a few more times.
When Sakuragi stepped up and pushed towards the frontcourt, Miyagi Ryota had just received Akagi's free throw. Following Sakuragi Hanamichi, Miyagi Ryota quickly dribbled the ball into the frontcourt.
Sakuragi Hanamichi's consecutive goals made Miyagi Ryota, who had no expectations for Sakuragi, now have expectations.
He originally wanted to use Sakuragi Hanamichi as a blue-collar player as usual in the game, and would only pass the ball to him when he was a point guard. But now, Miyagi Ryota suddenly wanted to try Sakuragi Hanamichi's offensive point. It's not really possible to use it.
Miyagi Ryota doesn't think Sakuragi Hanamichi can score endlessly on Jinguji Budo, but as long as Sakuragi Hanamichi has some independent offensive capabilities, it will be of great help to the team!
While thinking, Miyagi Ryota stepped down and dribbled at a fast pace, and then made a suspended dribble and then quickly dropped the ball and rushed forward.
The extremely fast breakthrough speed also instantly attracted Mu Shen to turn around and pursue him. With the strong speed, Miyagi Ryota quickly opened up a gap of almost one body position between Mu Shenichi, and he was about to enter the inside after crossing the free throw line.
Jinguji Budo couldn't help but cast his gaze towards Miyagi Ryota. Without any further hesitation, Budō took a side step and wrapped his way towards Miyagi Ryota. Budō raised his arms high, relying on his outstanding height, just like that. Directly blocking Miyagi Ryota's shooting lane.
If Miyagi tries to attack on his own, he will definitely be blocked by Jinguji Budo.
"No matter how many times I face him, this guy is still really tall!"
Raising his head and looking at Budo's blocking shot, Miyagi Ryota couldn't help but sigh. He grabbed the ball with both hands and jumped lightly. The basketball in his hand was also quickly raised. Just when others thought he would shoot, Miyagi Ryota quickly collected the ball and passed the ball towards Sakuragi Hanamichi on the side.
"." The basketball flew past Budo's waist. Jinguji Budo lowered his eyelids slightly, twisted around, and quickly caught up with the basketball.
The moment Sakuragi Hanamichi got the basketball, Jinguji Budo was already in front of Sakuragi.
"Oh! Moving so fast!"
"It doesn't look like he's two meters tall at all!"
The terrifying running speed of Jinguji Budo made the surrounding players watching the ball couldn't help but let out bursts of exclamations.
Sakuragi Hanamichi, who got the basketball, raised his hands, faked a shot and quickly dropped the ball to break through. Just when he dropped the ball and rushed forward, Jinguji Budo, who was still holding up his hands to block it, suddenly lowered his center of gravity and rushed in. Before Sakuragi, he directly blocked Sakuragi Hanamichi's breakthrough path.
Sakuragi's body directly collided with Martial Arts' body. Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was going all out, not only failed to break through Martial Arts' defense, but was staggered by the backlash caused by hitting Martial Arts. He took two steps back. , the basketball in his hand also seems to be out of control.
When the opportunity arose, Jinguji Martial Arts stepped forward, squatted down, and quickly reached out to hit the basketball in Sakuragi's hand.
"Snapped!"
The basketball fell from Sakuragi's hand. When Jinguji Budo was about to squeeze Sakuragi Hanamichi away to get the ball, a pair of white arms actually grabbed the ball before Budo could.
The next second, Rukawa Kaede quickly passed Sakuragi Hanamichi with the ball and rushed towards the basket.
Rukawa Kaede walked quickly through Sakuragi Hanamichi without stopping for a moment, and his movements instantly attracted the attention of Jinguji Martial Arts. Jinguji Budo couldn't turn a blind eye to Rukawa Kaede who broke into the basket.
With a quick sliding step, Martial Arts came to Rukawa Kaede's side in an instant. Sensing someone coming next to him, Rukawa Kaede quickly gathered the ball, took two steps across, and jumped high towards the basket.
Jinguji Martial Arts followed closely, his slender arms directly covering the basketball in Rukawa Kaede's hand.
However, just when Budo was about to complete the block on Rukawa Kaede, Rukawa Kaede, who grabbed the ball with both hands, quickly took the chess piece back into his arms, then grabbed the ball with his right hand and made a back pass in the air. He actually passed the basketball in the direction of Sakuragi Hanamichi. passed.
A beautiful break, directly finding the free Sakuragi Hanamichi.
"Beautiful! Rukawa Kaede!" Miyagi Ryota shouted in surprise when he saw Rukawa Kaede's pass.
Jinguji Budo also noticed Rukawa Kaede's pass. He looked in the direction of the opponent's pass, his face darkened slightly, showing a little surprise.
Rukawa Kaede actually passed the ball to Sakuragi Hanamichi? !
These two guys have never dealt with each other. In the past, if they were not forced into desperate situations, it would be impossible for basketballs to flow between these two people.
"Snapped!"
The basketball fell into Sakuragi Hanamichi's hands. Sakuragi Hanamichi had already adjusted his posture after getting the basketball. The moment he took the basketball, he raised his knees slightly, jumped slightly, and shot the basketball in his hand. .
"Whoa!" Sakuragi Hanamichi's mid-range shot was quite stable at this time. The basketball fell directly towards the basket, and then made a crisp sound.
Seeing Sakuragi's goal, Rukawa Kaede fell back to the ground with a faint smile on his face, but when Budo looked over, the smile on Rukawa Kaede's face also disappeared.
Before Martial Arts could speak, Rukawa Kaede had already turned around and returned to his own half.
Another successful score.
Sakuragi Hanamichi became the focus of the audience at this moment. Although he was able to successfully score this goal thanks to Rukawa Kaede's assist, in the eyes of most people, Sakuragi Hanamichi made his teammates better through his own attempts. There is an opportunity to take advantage of.
Being able to make offensive attempts when facing Jinguji Budo's defense, Sakuragi Hanamichi's actions have impressed many players.
"Three goals in a row."
As soon as Mu Shen went to the backcourt to catch the ball, Xiandao not only did not go to the frontcourt to take a position, but instead came to Jinguji Budao's side and smiled at Budao.
His face was full of smiles, and he had no consciousness of being in the same camp as martial arts.
"What? Our Xiangbei players played well. Are you, a Lingnan player, happy?"
Martial Arts glanced at Xiandao and said with a smile. After spending the past few months together, the players training at the seaside hotel have become very familiar with each other.
The relationship between martial arts and immortality is good, and the two are already good friends. Therefore, in front of immortality, Jinguji martial arts also has something to say, and he will not miss any sarcasm or ridicule.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"As long as I see you deflated, I'm happy."
"Especially because the other party is a junior of yours from Xiangbei High School."
"I'm even happier!"
"Martial arts, keep up the good work! Don't let your juniors underestimate you!"
Xiandao didn't take the martial arts' sarcasm seriously and said with a smile.
Rolling his eyes at Xian Dao, Jinguji Budo didn't say much, but quickly left Xian Dao's side and ran towards the frontcourt quickly.
"The team is starting to gel."
"With the connection between Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede, even if I am not in Shohoku in the future, Shohoku High School will still be the top team in the country."
"As for Xiangbei further down the road, I can't think carefully about it."
"At least, the Shohoku that Mitsui guy gave me has not weakened in my hands at all!"
With this thought in his mind, Jinguji Martial Arts quickly entered the frontcourt.
The competition has now progressed, and Jinguji Martial Arts finally plans to use all its strength to defeat Sakuragi Hanamichi, Rukawa Kaede and others.
Even without him, Xiangbei has still become an excellent team, and now, he can display his abilities unscrupulously!
Soon, Jinguji Budo entered the frontcourt and did not move to the mid-range position. Budo stopped when he moved to the corner position on the left side of the three-point line.
Mike Okita, who originally wanted to stay in this position, saw this and quickly entered the inside along the baseline without stopping. He had no intention of competing with Budo for the ball.
After Mu Shenyi dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, he looked slightly startled when he saw Jinguji Budo's position, and then quickly passed the ball to Jinguji Budo.
Budo picked up the ball one meter away from the three-point line, bent his upper body, took the ball with both hands and stabbed to the right. The next second, Budo Jinguji collected the ball and shot directly on the spot.
The techniques used in Jinguji Martial Arts are not advanced, but such a simple action may be something that many shooting guards and small forwards pursue their entire lives.
Sakuragi Hanamichi's reaction speed was quite fast, but by the time he raised his hand to block it, the basketball had already flown out of Budo's hands.
Everyone in Xiangbei looked sideways at the basketball, but Jinguji Budo, who had shot the ball, had turned around and ran towards his half of the court.
Not long after, a crisp sound of the net swiping sounded from behind Wu Dao and reached Wu Dao's ears.
A smile appeared on Wu Dao's face and he quickened his pace to return to defense. It was only at this time that everyone in Xiangbei looked at Jinguji Martial Arts and found that at this moment, Martial Arts was almost reaching the middle line. Everyone was shocked by that confident look.
Only by playing against Jinguji Martial Arts on the field, players may be able to personally feel the terrifying sense of oppression exuded by Jinguji Martial Arts.
During normal team training in Shohoku, Jinguji Martial Arts would not use their full strength to fight.
And when Jinguji Martial Arts fully demonstrates its strength, most people really can't catch it!
This practice match began to enter a fierce stage as Jinguji Martial Arts showed its strength.
Although it was a white-hot stage, the actual result was that the No. 1 team launched wave after wave of attacks under the leadership of Jinguji Budo. The team's score began to rise rapidly.
Compared with them, Xiangbei's offense began to stumble.
Sakuragi Hanamichi was really in excellent condition today and hit a lot of shots that he couldn't hit normally. But basketball is ultimately dependent on accumulated training.
Sakuragi's operation is inseparable from the content of his usual training.
If Sakuragi Hanamichi's own strength is 100 points, his excellent condition can allow him to display 120 points of strength.
But Jinguji Martial Arts, who faced Sakuragi Hanamichi, had a normal strength of 500 points! No matter how excellent Sakuragi's condition is, it is impossible for him to suddenly transcend his limits and achieve a huge leap.
Sakuragi Hanamichi's offensive methods were clearly seen by Budao after several rounds of fighting against Budo. After those three goals, Sakuragi Hanamichi was unable to continue to score. Every attack was firmly blocked by martial arts.
Miyagi Ryota, who realized that Sakuragi Hanamichi was blocked by martial arts, did not give Sakuragi another chance, and then placed the treasure on Rukawa Kaede.
Rukawa Kaede did show good offensive ability in front of Mike Okita, but this does not mean that Mike Okita's defense is useless against Rukawa Kaede.
Mike's defense also affected Rukawa Kaede's offense to a great extent.
At the end of the first half, although Rukawa Kaede scored 16 points alone, the team was still 11 points behind Budo's No. 1 team.
In the second half of the game, the gap between the two teams began to widen rapidly.
In Jinguji Budo's position, no one can restrict him. He blindly double-teams, and Budo does not play by himself. Instead, he chooses to pass the ball, which makes their team's offensive rotation extremely smooth.
The scoring efficiency is much better than that of Shohoku who relies on Rukawa Kaede and Miyagi to break through.
There will be no surprises at all in this practice match.
In the end, Xiangbei lost the game with a huge difference of 21 points.
According to the selection rules, Jinguji Budo and the others will be eligible to select players from the No. 3 team.
After the game, Sakuragi Hanamichi felt deeply tired. He had always been energetic, but after guarding against martial arts for a whole game, he actually felt a little dizzy and had some symptoms of exhaustion.
Jinguji Budo walked in front of Sakuragi Hanamichi, lowered his head and looked at Sakuragi who was slowly sitting on the ground, and said:
"Sakuragi, you still have room for improvement!"
"Sa, let's go!"
"Play more games, receive more training, and let yourself completely transform."
"Transform into the true pillar of Shohoku in the future!"
