Chapter 107 Titan! Frontal block!

"What? You want me to set a pick-and-roll for him?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Even if I die, even if I jump off the coast, I won't set up a pick-and-roll for him!"

Takenori Akagi's decisive attitude really surprised Jinguji Budo. He knew that Mitsui Hisashi and Akagi had a competitive relationship. Takenori Akagi had always regarded Mitsui Hisashi as his opponent. Although Mitsui Hisashi never said it,

, but he has never underestimated Akagi, and he is also interested in Akagi Takenori's challenge.

But Budo didn't expect that the competitive relationship between the two would still exist during the game. Even a small pick-and-roll, Akagi was unwilling to do for Mitsui Hisashi.

"Bu Dao, if I do a pick-and-roll for you, there is no problem, but if I do a pick-and-roll for Mitsui Hisashi, that's impossible!"

"Besides, Hisashi Mitsui doesn't know how or is willing to let me pick and roll."

Akagi said, looking at Mitsui Hisashi who was already running towards the frontcourt, then looked back at Budo, walked silently outside the cash register, served the ball to Miyagi Ryota, and then quickly ran towards the frontcourt.

Seeing Akagi's resolute attitude, Budo couldn't help but shook his head and put away his thoughts for the time being. However, Budo did not give up. He knew that the pride of Mitsui Hisashi and Takenori Akagi was only temporary. If one day Xiangbei faced difficulties,

When two people are forced to cooperate, they will cooperate with each other.

"For the time being, let's rely on singles to solve the problem."

"However, our team's current problem is not in offense, but in defense. How to prevent Lingnan's high pick-and-roll tactics is the key."

Wu Dao thought to himself and silently ran towards the front court.

Lingnan High School's defense began to shrink significantly. Sendō, who defended Hisashi Mitsui, kept chasing Mitsui Hisashi as always and did not give Mitsui Hisashi a chance to make long shots. However, several others had already narrowed the defensive circle near the paint area.

Akagi Takenori and Chiba Oishi noticed Lingnan's defense and consciously squeezed inward, hoping to occupy the favorable terrain under the basket. For a time, the entire paint area was crowded with people and seemed quite crowded.

After Miyagi Ryota entered the frontcourt, he stopped at the top of the three-point line. At this time, he was in a small open position with the ball. Kenichi Nishibayashi, who was guarding him, stood near the free throw line, away from the three-point line.

There is quite a distance.

If Miyagi breaks through, Nishibayashi Kenichi will follow immediately, but if Miyagi chooses a three-pointer or a long shot, Nishibayashi Kenichi will not be able to effectively interfere with Miyagi.

A good opportunity, but Miyagi Ryota did not choose to shoot and attack. His long-range shooting ability is too average. Now that Shohoku's team has good offensive players, Miyagi does not need to force himself to shoot from an uncomfortable position.

But for a while, Miyagi didn't have a good passing option, so he could only dribble awkwardly on the spot, waiting for opportunities.

Budo, who wanted to penetrate inside, noticed Miyagi Ryota's embarrassing situation. At the same time, he also noticed the strengthening of Lingnan's inside defense, and immediately ran back, quickly running towards Miyagi, and came to the outside of the three-point line.

Miyagi Ryota passed the ball to Budo's hands. After the ball was released, Miyagi was also very smart. He moved his steps and deliberately blocked Shinomiya's pursuit.

When Miyagi Ryota successfully blocked Shinomiya, Budo quickly changed direction, adjusted his posture, and shot a three-pointer directly.

"My offensive methods are not just mid-range shots!"

Wu Dao looked at the flight trajectory of the basketball and turned back confidently. When he had already turned around and started to defend, the basketball fell from the air and landed accurately in the net.

The strong and decisive three-pointer made the bench of Shohoku High School burst into cheers again.

After a brief moment of surprise, everyone in Lingnan quickly adjusted their state and fired quickly from the baseline. The basketball was in Xiandao's hands, and Xiandao quickly ran toward the frontcourt with the ball.

He was actually preparing for a chasing fast break.

"Return to defense, quickly return to defense!" Mitsui Shou and others were still running slowly when they started. Suddenly they heard the rapid footsteps behind them and looked back. They saw the figures of the people in Lingnan running away, and then they quickly shouted loudly.

It was said to be a fast break, but Lingnan was the first to enter the frontcourt with a two-man team. When Sendō Akira and Shinomiya Nodō quickly ran into the frontcourt, only Jinguji Budō, Mitsui Touwa and Miya were on the Shohoku side to return to defense.

Three people in the city.

When Mitsui Hisashi and Miyagi returned to defense, they quickly moved toward Sendō, hoping to intercept the opponent during their fast attack.

Miyagi Ryota was the fastest. He quickly reached Sendō's side and reached for the basketball. Sendō, who was dribbling the ball, didn't even look at Miyagi. He turned around sharply and passed Miyagi cleanly.

Then the momentum continued unabated and quickly approached the three-point line.

Miyagi, who made a steal, could no longer keep up with Sendō, but Hisashi Mitsui, who returned to defense, followed Sendō closely after Miyagi completely stalled. If Sendō went straight to the basket for a layup, Hisashi Mitsui had

The opportunity to complete the block on Xiandao.

Soon, Sendō crossed the three-point line with the ball. At the same time as he crossed the three-point line, on the other side, Shinomiya was a few seconds ahead of Sendō. He crossed the three-point line and rushed towards the basket quickly. Although Budao was tight.

He followed closely behind Shinomiya Tōno, but was almost one position behind.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, Sendō, who was advancing rapidly, blasted the ball and took the ball with both hands. He suddenly stopped. Mitsui Hisashi who was following him realized that something was wrong and hurriedly blocked the shot. However, Sendō directly blocked Mitsui Hisashi's hand with his left hand and his right hand.

Quickly threw the ball towards the basket.

Almost at the same time, Shinomiya, who was running forward, turned his head and looked at the basketball. He slowed down a little and started to gain momentum while running towards the basket. Then he stepped on the sideline of the paint area and flew towards the basket.

At the same time as Shinomiya Tano stood up, Jinguji Budo who was following him quickly took off and reached out to block the basketball.

However, Sendō's passing height was quite precise. Budō's take-off position was too far back and he did not reach the basketball. Instead, Shinomiya Tōno, who was about a body in front of him, accurately caught the basketball and then poured it into the ball.

into the basket.

Chasing fast break, alley-oop dunk.

Jinguji Budo's three-point shot could not dampen the morale of Lingnan High School at all. Not only that, Shinomiya's dunk at this time completely awakened his own relatively sluggish state.

"Roar!!!"

Shinomiya, who succeeded in dunking, hammered his chest with both hands and roared to release his suppressed emotions. After being substituted in the first half, Shinomiya was holding a breath in his heart. At this moment, it was finally all

Released.

The emotions of the Lingnan players were pushed to a climax. The Lingnan players who returned to defense all looked excited. When they looked at the scoreboard, their eyes were like wolves and tigers. The score difference was narrowed.

"If you jump high enough, you might intercept him."

"Lingnan High School's momentum has grown, and we must interrupt them here."

Wu Dao secretly thought in his heart, and then ran towards the frontcourt in silence. Not only Wu Dao had such thoughts in his mind, Mitsui Hisaru also had such thoughts in his heart at this time. Of course, Mitsui Hisaru's competition experience can tell that now

This is a critical period for the rise of Lingnan.

In the next few rounds, if Xiangbei can steadily seize every offensive opportunity and successfully defend Lingnan from one or two goals, then Lingnan's counterattack momentum will be completely extinguished. For the rest of the second half,

Lingnan's team members will no longer be motivated to fight back.

But similarly, once Lingnan completely gains momentum, it will be Xiangbei who will be in trouble.

Hisashi Mitsui knows very well that what determines the direction of a game is often not the team's hard power. During the game, momentum is actually quite important.

"Everyone" Budo knew that the next attack would be the key, and was ready to remind his teammates, but as soon as the words came to his mouth, Mitsui Hisashi said to everyone:

"Everyone is paying attention! The next attack will be the key, so we must be cautious."

"Miyagi, you must be decisive when you play the ball. Everyone else, please run and be more active!"

Mitsui Hisashi clapped his hands and said while attracting the attention of the team members. Jinguji Budo looked at the serious look on Mitsui Hisashi's face and choked back the words that came to his mouth. Obviously, the second-year Mitsui Hisashi is a qualified

A leader's ability to observe situations is not weak.

"Yes!" Miyagi and Chiba responded loudly. Budo looked at Mitsui Shou and smiled, turned around, and ran towards the frontcourt. Takenori Akagi, who had just run to the center line after returning to defense, turned back and ran forward with a cold face.

Field, pace is firm.

After Mitsui Hisashi's reminder, Miyagi Ryota became much more stable. When he was playing before, because his personal matchup intensity was not strong, he sometimes had time to observe Ayako's expression on the sidelines, but now, his attention

It's all been placed on the court.

Everyone in Lingnan seemed to know that the next few goals were crucial, and the intensity of the defense was increased. Shinomiya Tano didn't even want to give Budao a chance to catch the ball, and stuck firmly to Budao's side. Wherever Budao ran, he would follow him.

.

"This bastard, you don't need money for your physical strength?"

After Miyagi entered the frontcourt, Budo suddenly increased his speed and moved towards the inside. After noticing Shinomiya's pursuit, he stopped suddenly and quickly reversed, running towards the three-point line. This time, Shinomiya did not relax.

, even if Wu Dao ran towards the three-point line, he followed closely.

The martial arts that tried to get rid of Shinomiya's defense began to stop and start frequently, but Shinomiya was like a candy, sticking firmly behind him, not caring about the physical exertion.

Such a scene also happened in Mitsui Hisashi's matchup. Sendō Akira's speed, strength, and height are all quite good. At least Mitsui Hisōu had no advantage in these three items in front of Sendō.

Under close defense, Mitsui Hisaya was very uncomfortable being guarded.

Miyagi took the ball and observed whether Budo and Mitsui Hisashi were in a good state to catch the ball. But unfortunately, the twin stars of Lingnan defended very well in this round, and Budo and Mitsui Hisashi did not defend at all.

Opportunities arise.

As time passed by second by second, Miyagi finally couldn't help it and began to break through on his own.

Nishibayashi Kenichi was a long way away from Miyagi, so he had enough time to react when Miyagi broke through, and blocked Miyagi's breakthrough route immediately. Miyagi, who was forced to stop the ball, simply made a crotch

, quickly changed direction and broke through to the other side. Just when Xilin Jianyi was about to pursue the defense, he suddenly bumped into a solid body.

"Bang!" Nishibayashi Kenichi, who was fully pursuing the defense, didn't even notice Takenori Akagi's mid-block pick and roll, and directly hit Akagi solidly, and the strong rebound caused him to fall to the ground.

Miyagi Ryota took this opportunity to complete the breakthrough. He looked at the basket not far in front of him and felt relieved. He raised the ball with his right hand and made a small throw.

However, just as the basketball flew out of Miyagi Ryota's hands, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of Miyagi Ryota, and the huge black shadow completely covered Miyagi's body.

"Snapped!"

Jun Uozumi appeared in front of Miyagi, jumped high, blocked the ball thrown by Miyagi with his right hand, and then suddenly retracted his right hand, grabbing the basketball firmly with both hands. Uozumi's hands were very strong when grabbing the ball.

With force, the basketball actually deformed significantly in Yuzhu's hands.

"Captured?!"

"The big guy realized it!"

Miyagi Ryota was confused at this time. He saw Uozumi making a gesture like a baseball pitcher throwing a ball. The next second, the basketball flew out of Uozumi's hand quickly.

"Return to defense! Come back to defense!" Miyagi, who was belatedly aware of the situation, was surprised and shouted after Uozumi passed the ball.

But at this time, Sendō Akira and Shinomiya Tōno were running rapidly towards the frontcourt.

Jinguji Budo, with a cold face, pursued the two of them alone. As for Mitsui Hisashi, he was unable to pursue him immediately because when Miyagi broke through, Mitsui Hisashi chose to rush into the basket and prepare to grab the board.

As if Xiandao had anticipated this, he had already run towards the frontcourt.

As for Martial Arts, after he noticed Xiandao's movements, he did not choose to stay in the frontcourt to seek offensive opportunities, but pursued Xiandao.

Xiandao caught the ball in the frontcourt and quickly advanced. Soon, Xiandao heard the rapid footsteps behind him, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer.

Looking back, Xiandao saw Jinguji Martial Arts following closely behind him, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face unconsciously.

After a brief moment of surprise, Xiandao turned around and speeded up again. At the same time, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

Soon, Xiandao and Budao crossed the three-point line one after another. Xiandao's momentum continued unabated and he rushed towards the basket.

Budao frowned slightly when he saw that Sendao didn't slow down at all to adjust his rhythm in preparation for a layup.

"It's easy to make mistakes in layups at such a speed. This kid wants to dunk!"

Wu Dao stretched his brows and stared closely at Xiandao's back, paying attention to the changes in Xiandao's every move.

Soon, Xiandao rushed into the paint area, but the strange thing was that Xiandao didn't slow down and didn't follow the ball. Looking at his posture, it seemed that he wanted to go straight to the bottom line.

Suddenly, Budao saw the basketball flying strangely in front of Xiandao, flying straight towards the backboard. When the basketball flew up, Budao didn't even see Xiandao lift the ball to shoot.

"It's impossible to score a goal like this."

"It's a pass!!"

Martial Arts' expression condensed, he suddenly stopped and turned around to look. At this time, in his eyes, a black shadow was slowly enlarging.

"snort!"

Budo snorted coldly, quickly adjusted his position, and then jumped up. At the same time as he took off, Shinomiya, who was leaping high, grabbed the ball in the air with both hands, and his body directly collided with Budo's body, but he couldn't move.

minus, and dumped the ball toward the basket.

However, just when the basketball was less than ten centimeters away from the basket, a pair of big hands suddenly appeared in front of the basketball and struck it steadily.

"Snapped!"

Martial Arts slapped the basketball with both hands, and the veins in his fair arms jumped violently, stopping the basketball from falling.

The confident Shinomiya was surprised. In the air, he could clearly feel that his body was falling rapidly. The next second, Shinomiya suddenly felt that his body was out of balance, but his hands grabbing the ball were

While quickly collecting the ball without sending it away, Shinomiya changed his posture in the air and barely threw the ball.

"How is that possible?!" Wu Dao's eyes widened as he saw the basketball pass his hands.

“Bang!!!”

Shinomiya's body fell rapidly and hit the floor with a loud noise. Martial Arts fell back to the ground and turned around with a surprised look on his face.

The basketball thrown by Shinomiya hit the base of the frame, bounced back slightly, hit the front edge of the basket, and then fell back into the net.

Silence, the arena fell into an eerie silence.
