The player who was targeted by Fujima Kenji and the others was called Naito Tetsuya.
Fujima and the others heard that the player used to be a rugby player, and was later discovered by the coach of the Green Wind High School basketball team, who then took a hoe and dug the player into his team.
Seeing the player named Tetsuya Naito on the field, the dead memory of Jinguji Budo began to attack him.
In so many years of playing in Kanagawa Prefecture, he has only played against the opponent once. He has almost forgotten the specific details of the match. He only knows that this player has a different path from his own. He is a player from Green Wind High School.
But it is indeed true. Since Mitsui Hisashi and Jinguji Budo joined Shohoku High School, Shohoku's results and rankings in the county competition have been quite good. New teams like Green Wind High School have never participated in the county competition in the past.
I had only invited Xiangbei High School to play a practice match before.
During the previous training camp, Jinguji Budo did not see any players getting along closely with Mike Okita. He thought that the only players sent by Green Wind High School to participate in the training camp were Mike and a few black brothers.
Unexpectedly, Tetsuya Naito also participated in this Autumn National Sports training camp.
If it weren't for the big training camp for the Autumn National Sports Selection this year, Jinguji Budo might never have seen Tetsuya Naito again.
At this moment, the attention of the players gathered around Jinguji Martial Arts was also attracted by the game going on in the field.
The game is in the preparation stage, and the players chosen by the two teams to jump the ball are the main center Jun Uozumi of Ryonan High School and the power forward Tetsuya Naito of Miuradai.
Several players who team up with Tetsuya Naito are all familiar faces in Budo. In addition to Tetsuya Naito, the iconic "bald head", there are also two black brothers on the same team with him, both from Green Wind High School. player of.
In addition to the three of them, Budo also saw a familiar figure that was slightly surprising, that was the bankrupt version of "Sendō" from Xiangyang High School, Kazushi Hasegawa.
Ever since Fujima and Hanagata left, Xiangyang High School has been facing a terrible situation of stagnant students. All the outstanding players in the county were eliminated by teams like Lingnan, Xiangbei and Hainan.
And with the team's performance in the county competition declining, the leadership of Xiangyang High School has made "dramatic changes" in Xiangyang's coaching staff in recent times. In less than two years since Toma and the others left, Xiangyang High School has had three or four head coaches.
Frequent changes in the backbone of the team also caused Xiangyang High School's combat effectiveness to drop significantly.
So much so that now, Kazushi Hasegawa, who lacks talent but has a good training attitude, has grown into the captain of the team!
As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even though the once powerful Xiangyang High School has declined slightly, the team's heritage is still there.
The past coaches have developed good training habits for Xiangyang's players. Even though the head coaches have changed frequently in the past few years, Xiangyang's players' ability is still much higher than that of other ordinary schools.
It is reasonable for several Green Wind players to seek out Hasegawa.
The last two pieces of the puzzle for Naito and Hasegawa's team are Shoyo High School's "big" defender Taku Ito and their Shoyo striker Shoichi Takano.
Ito, who is 180cm tall, is fully worthy of the title of "big defender"!
After all, most defenders are only around 170cm tall.
And Takano Shoichi's height has also reached 193cm, and his condition is very good.
Naito Teiya's height reaches 196cm, the two black brothers with him are 198cm and 190cm respectively, Takano Shoichi is a substitute, Hasegawa's height on the court is 191cm, and Ito Taku's height is 180cm.
The whole team, the height is outstanding.
On the other hand, the mixed team from Lingnan High School was a little different in height, but not too different.
Jun Uozumi and Koichiro Nango, as well as Hanagata, Ichiro Kamizumi, Fujima and Sora Kurutani.
If Kuratani Sora is used as a substitute, Lingnan's mixed coalition team is also quite outstanding in height, but I don't know what Kenji Fujima is thinking. At the beginning, the player who was rotated was not Kurutani Sora. , but him Fujima Kenji himself.
At this moment, the players from the two teams took their positions in the center circle. Kenji Fujima was sitting on the bench on the sidelines, crossing his legs and looking at the court with an indifferent look on his face.
"This guy Fujima is so pretentious!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi also learned this word from the words accidentally spoken by Jinguji Martial Arts. He glanced at Fujima on the sidelines and couldn't help but say.
Budao smiled when he heard this and looked towards the court.
Fujima and his team also have the players he needs.
That is Kenji Fujima. As a defender, Fujima has completely different styles from Maki Shinichi. He can both support and break through with the ball. More importantly, he also has excellent shooting ability.
Their team needs such a point guard substitute to enrich the team's offense.
Of course, Rukawa Kaede is a better "substitute" than Fujima, but compared to Fujima, Rukawa Kaede has the fatal flaw of a defender.
That is Rukawa Kaede "uncontrollable".
When did this kid hit his head, he couldn't listen to what others said, and Rukawa Kaede was a "Guo Ailun" type of strong ball-holding point guard. In terms of attributes, he was somewhat in conflict with Budao and his team.
Whether it's Jinguji Budo or Shinomiya Tōno, or even Sendō and Mike, they can all play strong ball. The personal abilities of Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tōno are far superior to Rukawa Kaede, while Sendō and Mike are also better than Rukawa Kaede in terms of overall outlook.
In Budo's mind, Rukawa Kaede's priority was not as high as Fujima Kenji's.
"Beep——"
After a long whistle, the basketball was thrown into the air by the referee.
As Jun Uozumi and Tetsuya Naito roared in unison, two huge figures quickly took off towards the basketball point.
Although Naito Tetsuya, who was born in the rugby team, is slightly shorter in height, his explosive power is much stronger than Uozumi. The two took off at about the same time, but in the end Naito was the superior and took the lead in hitting the ball towards his team's second half.
The basketball came directly to the hands of Ito Taku in the backcourt. The latter took the ball and ran quickly towards the frontcourt. Although several players on their team are tall players, their running speed is quite slow.
Not to mention Naito, who is a rugby player, even the two tall black brothers are very fast, and Hasegawa Kazushi's footsteps are also very flexible.
The extremely fast speed of advancement is simply not suitable for the size of these players.
Lingnan's mixed coalition had just finished positioning in its own half, and the opponent's players had already entered the frontcourt and settled in designated positions.
After Ito Taku approached the top of the arc, he quickly hoisted the ball into the inside. Naito Tetsu also directly dribbled the ball and rushed forward.
Then, after approaching the basket, he jumped up and slammed the basketball in his hand against the basket.
Although Jun Uozumi was positioned a few seconds earlier than Tetsuya Naito, his eyes were attracted by the tall black brother of the opponent. In a blink of an eye, Naito had already caught the basketball in the paint, and then staged a one-handed move. Dunk!
"Ouch!!"
The explosive slam dunk shocked all the players on the sidelines. I thought this game would not be worth watching. After all, Lingnan High School has a good reputation. Although Shinomiya Tano and Sendō are missing, the other players are still good. Strong.
I thought it would be a crushing match, but seeing Naito hit so hard on the first ball, the players' minds changed accordingly.
Maybe, this game will be a battle between dragons and tigers.
Seeing that the opponent scored the goal so easily, Jinguji Budo was a little surprised and glanced at Tetsuya Naito a few more times.
The foundation has become stronger.
Don't think that dunking is an easy thing. As long as you have the height and bounce, you can do it easily.
Even dunking requires constant training.
Tetsuya Naito's dunk action is very smooth, and the overall movement from catching the ball to dunking is very smooth. It is obvious that this is the result of regular training.
Although Budo's impression of Naito has been very shallow, Budao still vaguely remembers Naito's past, and he never had such strength.
"Hey, Mike."
"What do you think of Naito Tetsuya's fighting ability?"
"Does our team need to introduce such players?"
Jinguji Budo stared at Naito in the field, and suddenly asked Mike Okita not far away. The opponent and Naito are both players from Green Wind High School, so he must have a good understanding of Naito.
In the past, Martial Arts tended to favor familiar players when selecting players. If there are strong players, even if they are unfamiliar, they can actually be selected as targets.
While speaking, Shinomiya also looked at Mike Okita. Seeing some hesitation on the other person's face, he said with a smile:
"Mike, there's nothing to worry about, right? Just say whatever you have to say."
"As long as he is strong enough, we will directly pick that team when the time comes!"
Hearing Shinomiya say the same thing, Mike Okita finally nodded and explained: "This player has outstanding characteristics, but his shortcomings are also outstanding."
"How should I put it? I feel a little uncomfortable."
"Perhaps because he plays too much rugby, his field of vision is very short when he picks up the ball."
"Poor passing ability."
"I'm afraid there's no way to compare this to Sakuragi Hanamichi."
As he spoke, Mike Okita looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was also an insider. Compared to Naito, Mike Okita admired Sakuragi Hanamichi's nimble footsteps more.
Being able to score multiple times under Jinguji Budo's defense is not something that just anyone can do.
Sakuragi's fighting ability is actually very recognized by Mike.
Hearing this, Budo nodded slightly. Sakuragi Hanamichi's current strength is in the ranks of power forwards and is definitely the top level in the country.
Even if you put aside his offensive ability, just looking at his defensive ability and rebounding ability, he is also very powerful.
There is no doubt that it helps the team.
"It's not as good as Sakuragi, but it's within the range of my expectations. I hear you tell me, don't you know how to pass the ball?"
"In this way, I'm afraid I will be a little weak when facing double teams."
“But it’s good to have something unique.”
"Maybe, I don't know if it can be used."
Shinomiya Tano nodded when he heard this, and then said with a smile, not paying attention to the weakness that Mike said.
In the stadium, Kuratani Sora quickly led the team to launch a counterattack. The opponent's goal was very exciting, but so what?
Kurutani Sora ran very fast. In order to match his speed, Uozumi Jun, Hanagata Toru and other team members also quickly entered the frontcourt.
The heights of the two teams' inside lines were almost the same. Uozumi, Hanagata, and Nango all loved the offensive end, so they all squeezed into the inside line.
In order to guard against these big guys, Naito and his two black brothers also squeezed in towards the inside.
For a time, the entire inner line was crowded with people, and there was no room for people to stay.
Seeing this, Sora Kuratani on the outside had no intention of breaking through. After simply dribbling the ball with two hips, he made a suspended dribble and directly changed direction in front of his body to start the breakthrough.
The short Sora Kuratani flashed past Ito Taku's eyes in an instant and disappeared.
It's a classic small fight against a big one. A "big guy" like Ito Taku couldn't catch up with Kurutani Sora at all, and was directly left behind by Kurutani Sora.
After the breakthrough, Kuratani Sora quickly approached the three-point line, then took off directly from the edge of the three-point line, and shot the basketball in his hand.
It looks like a push shot, but the arc of the basketball in the air is maintained quite well.
Under the gaze of all the big men under the basket, the basketball went directly through the net and made a crisp sound.
"!!!"
Under the basket, Xiangyang and the players from Green Wind High School had astonishment on their faces. They didn't expect that a dwarf like Sora Kurutani could actually use such a gesture to send the ball into the basket.
"Hmm."
Off the court, Fujima Kenji chuckled when he saw this scene.
This situation was within his expectation.
All these big players have the momentum to assist Sora Kurutani!
He had already made such a plan when Fujima called Kurutani Sora before.
On the side of the court, Jinguji Budo and others were a little surprised to see Sora Kurutani score the first goal.
"This guy Fujima has a really flexible mind!"
"Although Sora Kurutani is short in height, there are really not many defenders who can match his mobility."
"That team's defender is at a complete disadvantage in front of Sora Kurutani."
The surprise on Jinguji Budo's face was fleeting, and he quickly understood Fujima Kenji's intention.
I am afraid that the strongest form of their team is the dual gun mode.
The dual guns of Fujima and Sora Kurutani, coupled with the inside assistance of other players, if Uozumi's position can be replaced with a highly mobile striker, then this team will be able to play small ball mode.
The defense is slightly weak, but the outside offense is completely comparable to those of the top teams.
In the stadium, the match between the two teams officially began.
Naito and his team played inside, and Hasegawa couldn't get the ball very often. Most of the time, Taku Ito gave the ball to the black brothers in the inside or Tetsuya Naito.
Under the onslaught of these people, it would be impossible to resist them just by relying on fish.
Although Uozumi's height and strength are very good, compared with the black brothers, they are a bit inferior. Naito, who started at a fast pace, also posed a considerable threat to the basket, and was directly penetrated by the opponent inside.
However, the inner defense line was penetrated by the opponent, but the situation did not develop into that kind of rotten situation.
Fujima's tactics worked. Taku Ito, Xiangyang's main point guard, was completely defeated by Sora Kurutani. Let Che Gukong frequently hit three-pointers and cling to the score.
