Chapter 102 The man from China, the opening show of the aces!

"Snapped!"

Two big hands pressed on both sides of the basketball almost at the same time.

Takenori Akagi and Jun Uozumi are similar in height. Although Akagi's height and wingspan are slightly worse than Uozumi's, Takenori Akagi's explosive power is slightly better than Uozumi's. As they go up and down, the two of them are in the same position.

The slight difference in height was also smoothed out, and the key to victory in the jump ball became a competition of strength.

"Drink!" Akagi and Uozumi shouted together. The basketball was slapped by the two and did not fly towards either half of the court. Instead, it flew towards the side along the center line.

"Sendō!" Uozumi looked in the direction in which the basketball flew out, and saw Sendō's figure appearing directly in front of the basketball, holding the ball in his arms. Uozumi couldn't help but be happy to see his teammates holding the ball.

He let out a low cry, then looked back at Akagi and raised his eyebrows.

"hateful!"

"Return to defense!"

Takenori Akagi saw the basketball being held by Lingnan's team members, and felt unwilling to do so. He glared at Uozumi fiercely, and felt a little angry when he called back to defense.

Shohoku High School returned to defense very quickly. Sendō had just crossed the half court with the ball. Five of Shohoku's players had already entered the three-point line to defend. By the time Sendō Akira approached the three-point line with the ball,

Mumu Gongyan stepped forward and came closer.

Shohoku High School adopts a man-to-man defense. The person who defends Sendō is Kimure Konobu. The second-year Konobu Konobu is about 175cm tall, while the first-year Akira Sendō is 188cm tall. Standing in front of Komure

, more than half a head taller than Mu Mu.

Faced with Mu Mu's defense, Sendō Akira dribbled the ball half-sideways, with the ball protector in front of him. However, his eyes were not focused on Kim Mu Mu's body in front of him. Instead, he scanned the entire field, looking for a pass.

Opportunity.

"Mumu, be careful of his breakthrough!" Mitsui Hisashi stood in front of Shinomiya Tano. He saw the matchup of Mumu Gongyan from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but give a warning.

But just as he was speaking, Shinomiya Tano, who was standing outside the three-point line and looking at Sendao, suddenly made a move. In the blink of an eye, he passed the distracted Mitsui Hisashi and rushed towards the inside line.

Sendōgen obviously noticed Shinomiya Tōno's actions. He deceived Mumu's position with a feint and quickly hit the ball to Shinomiya Tōno's hands.

Shinomiya received the ball in the mid-range and just dribbled the basketball, then ignored Takenori Akagi and Oishi Chiba who were guarding the basket, directly combined the ball and flew towards the basket.

The position where Shinomiya's ball took off was four or five meters away from the basket. Although Akagi and Chiba Oishimoto who were standing under the basket also stepped forward to block the shot, they had not yet reached Shinomiya.

Well, over there, Shinomiya Tano directly picked up the basket, and the basketball was released and flew towards the basket.

"What is this?" Takenori Akagi looked at Shinomiya's movements and his face froze. He had seen the offensive method of picking the basket many times, but this was the first time he had seen such a long-distance pick-up like Shinomiya's.

, it is more appropriate to say that it is a pick-up shot, and it is more appropriate to use a throw-away to describe Shinomiya's shooting method.

It's just that when he throws, he uses the posture of picking up the basket.

"Whoa!" The weird offensive method was very efficient. The basketball fell from a height and directly entered the net.

Only ten seconds into the game, Lingnan High School took the lead and scored a goal.

"That guy is so fast and has a very strong ability to seize opportunities. I was just distracted for a moment, and he actually grabbed this little gap."

Mitsui Hisashi frowned slightly as he looked at Shinomiya Tōno who was high-fiving Sendō Akira in celebration.

"It doesn't matter, prepare to attack!"

Konobu Mumu clapped his hands and shouted encouragement, then trotted to the basket, picked up the basketball, and gave it to Miyagi Ryota. Then he walked to Akagi and Chiba and patted their backs.

With his back on his back, he trotted towards the front court.

Everyone in Xiangbei came to their senses and began to organize an attack.

Miyagi Ryota was in possession of the ball. Ryota had just passed the half-time mark with the ball when Kenichi Nishibayashi of Ryonan High School came forward.

Xilin Jianyi is the starting point guard in the third grade of Lingnan High School. He is 180cm tall and is a rare "tall" point guard in high school games.

That's right, a tall point guard.

Standing in front of Kenichi Nishibayashi, Miyagi Ryota, who is only a little over 160cm tall, looks a bit thin.

In Lingnan's three-point line, Uozumi Jun's defensive attention was not on Akagi. He was chatting with Shinomiya Tanano who was standing not far away in a dissatisfied tone:

"Tian Tian, ​​what happened to your goal just now? With your ability, it shouldn't be a problem to rush inside and dunk, right?"

"What's the point of such a weak attack?"

While Uozumi was speaking, he did not forget to cast a sidelong glance at Akagi. Although he did not mention Akagi Takenori at all, he mentioned it again.

"Um?"

"It's not necessary. The real master of Xiangbei hasn't come yet, so save some energy."

Shinomiya had something to say and replied casually. Mitsui Hisashi in front of him looked calm, turned his head and glanced at Shinomiya, then quickly ran towards the outside line, and at the same time waved to Miyagi for the ball.

When the opponent said this in front of Mitsui Hisashi, it was a naked mockery! How could the proud Mitsui Hisashi not want to give the opponent some color? And scoring a goal is the best response to the opponent!

When Shinomiya saw Mitsui Hisashi making a move, he stopped talking to Uozumi and hurriedly followed Mitsui Hisashi and ran toward the three-point line. However, his speed was not fast and he simply followed Mitsui Hisashi.

Miyagi Ryota at the top of the arc lobbed the ball to Mitsui Hisashi, and then quickly approached Mitsui Hisashi.

Mitsui Hisashi received the ball almost one or two meters outside the three-point line. Miyagi was worried about Shinomiya Tanano who was following Mitsui Hisashi when passing the ball, so when he released the ball, he gave the ball in front of Mitsui Hisashi.

Some amount of advance.

After catching the ball, he turned around and saw Shinomiya who had already run in front of him. Shinomiya, who was in the first year of high school, was 191cm tall, which was much taller than Hisashi Mitsui. At this time, Shinomiya raised his right hand high.

, blocked in front of Mitsui Hisashi, completely blocking Mitsui Hisashi's shooting route.

At this moment, Miyagi Ryota approached and moved towards Shinomiya's side, trying to set up a screen for Mitsui Hisashi.

Hisashi Mitsui bent his knees and followed the direction of Miyagi Ryota's pick-and-roll, making a breakthrough gesture. His action was instantly noticed by Shinomiya. Shinomiya quickly turned around and broke away from Miyagi Ryota's pick-and-roll, and prepared a good move.

Prepared to defend Mitsui Hisashi's breakthrough.

But what was unexpected was that Mitsui Hisashi had no intention of breaking through in the direction of Miyagi's pick-and-roll. From the beginning, Mitsui Hisashi knew that Miyagi's pick-and-roll would not be effective, and the breakthrough action just now was just a fake move.

That’s all.

Hisashi Mitsui changed direction, took a step directly in the opposite direction of Shinomiya's defense, and then directly raised the ball to shoot. Mitsui Hisashi's control of the empty position was extremely good, and his feet were almost close to the three-point line when shooting.

.

The rhythm of the entire shooting was quite tight and smooth, and the one motion release speed was also quite fast. Shinomiya, who predicted the wrong direction, had no chance to make up for it and could only watch the basketball fly towards the basket.

"Shua!" A crisp sound of "shua!" resounded throughout the entire stadium, and the players sitting on the bench in Xiangbei immediately cheered.

Hisashi Mitsui, who scored the goal, shook his fist at Shinomiya Tano and responded to what Shinomiya Tōno said just now: "The real owner of Shohoku has not come yet."

"Hey, Tianye, take precautions!"

"What's your defense like? Press up and put pressure!"

Although Mitsui Hisashi just scored a goal, coach Taoka jumped up off the court and shouted loudly without being as calm as before.

Mitsui Hisashi glanced at Coach Tianoka off the court, curled his lips, and murmured: "Can you guard me if you guard well? Are you kidding me?"

Mitsui Shou did not shy away from Shinomiya Tōno at all when he said this, and the words fell directly into Shinomiya Tōno's ears. However, instead of being angry, the young man grinned at Mitsui Shou.

It's just that his smile is not so "kind".

The offense and defense switched, and the offensive ball came into the hands of Lingnan High School. It was Nishilin Kenichi who advanced with the ball. The other players of Lingnan High School entered the Xiangbei half early, waiting for their defenders to dribble the ball into the frontcourt.

Just when Lingnan High School was organizing an attack, without anyone noticing, two people walked in at the door of the basketball gym.

"Wow, that's great. I never thought that a neon high school would have such a decent basketball stadium. It's better than public schools in China."

A young man in his thirties followed Jinguji Martial Arts into the basketball gym. After entering the venue, he looked around for a while, and then sighed to Martial Arts in Chinese.

“There are indeed some advantages in terms of hardware.”

"Brother Jun, please watch the game from the sidelines for a while. After I finish this practice match, I will take you to find your companions."

Budo explained to the young man, and then looked towards the court. At this time, it was Jinguji Budo who entered the arena late, but not only himself, he also brought a young man named Zhang Yongjun with him.

"Oh! Okay, okay, it doesn't matter, you are busy with your business."

"It doesn't matter if I wait a little longer. There's a basketball game at Neon High School. I actually happen to be watching it too."

Zhang Yongjun smiled and waved his hand, indicating that martial arts was casual. Then he looked at the court, found an empty seat on the sidelines, sat down on his own, and watched the game.

Seeing that Zhang Yongjun didn't mind, Wu Dao immediately went to the rest area in northern Hunan.

Coach Anxi, I'm sorry, I'm late!" Budao immediately greeted Coach Anxi after arriving in the rest area, looking a little embarrassed.

Ayako on the side saw Jinguji Martial Arts coming to the rest area, and said in surprise: "Ah! Jinguji, you are finally here, okay, okay, the game just started not long ago."

"Why are you going? Why are you late?"

Caiko's words had just cleared everyone's doubts. The substitutes' attention was no longer on the court at this time, and they all looked at Jinguji Martial Arts.

"Some things were delayed. When I came back, I met a Chinese who came to travel and got separated from his companions. I happened to know some Chinese, so I wanted to help."

"But I still remember the practice match. No, I brought the lost guy to the gym. After the game, I took him to find his companions."

Wu Dao pointed to Zhang Yongjun, who was sitting in the seat opposite the stadium, and said.

"A Chinese tourist?"

"You are so enthusiastic!"

Caizi scratched her head and said something funny. Coach Anxi looked at Zhang Yongjun, pushed up his glasses, and seemed to be a little surprised.

Coach Anxi has met this young man brought back by martial arts!

"Chinese? Zhang Yongjun? Isn't that person a member of the Chinese men's basketball team?!"

Coach Anxi was secretly surprised, but he hid his surprise for a moment. He turned to look at Budo and said calmly: "Jinguji-san, I won't give you time to warm up. You can go on the field later."

"Go to the court, wait until the event starts, and then show your strength."

Just as Coach Anzai was talking to Jinguji Budo, there was a loud noise in the stadium. And the bench of Lingnan High School next door also erupted into amazing cheers.

Just now, Reinan High School's Akira Sendō made a pass through Shinomiya Nono, who completed an alley-oop dunk over Takenori Akagi's head.

Shinomiya's strong physical fitness is even much better than Takenori Akagi. With a dunk, Takenori Akagi couldn't stop the flying Shinomiya. Not only that, Akagi also hit him while defending.

Shinomiya's hand, it's a two plus one.

"rnm! Is this how neon high school students play ball?!"

"What the hell?!"

On the other side of the stadium, Zhang Yongjun suddenly stood up from his seat, stared blankly at the hanging frame of Shinomiya, and blurted out a national curse.

No wonder he was so surprised. The performance of the men's basketball team in this country was really outstanding. Zhang Yongjun also met the Neon Men's Basketball Team in the competition and played against each other. He dared to say that the goal just now was different from others.

Even if you are a high school student, not many people in the current Neon Men's Basketball Team can do it.

Shinomiya's alley-oop slam dunk drew everyone's attention to the court. Mitsuyoshi Anzai pushed up his glasses, silently walked to the referee's seat, and took advantage of Shinomiya's free throw to request a substitution.

"Beep!"

"Xiangbei High School, please make a substitution!"

Jinguji Budo quickly changed his jersey and trotted into the stadium, replacing Kimugure Konobu. Instead of being angry, Konobu Kimugure was relieved.

I'm afraid only he can understand his mood at this time. Although Sendō Akira, who he was defending, did not take the initiative to attack, looking at Sendō who passed the ball easily in front of him, Kimugure Konobu could not help but feel disappointed. Shinomiya Tano could not help but

Akagi's dunk on his head has something to do with his inability to put pressure on Sendō's passing.

Shinomiya Tanoda easily scored the free throw without any distractions. After scoring the goal, when he returned to defense, he smiled and looked at Jinguji Budo who was standing outside the three-point line and said hello:

"You're late. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Budo looked at Shinomiya Tano attentively. After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I didn't expect you to still be in Kanagawa and even join Reinan High School."

"What a surprise!"

Shinomiya smiled and replied: "I knew you would continue to play ball. How could I go anywhere else before I completely defeated you?"

"After leaving Kanagawa, I'm afraid I won't meet you in the national competition."
