Chapter 120 Watch carefully, I will show you one more time!

Takenori Akagi's hard battle on the court was witnessed by all the players in Shohoku. As the game progressed, the score between the two teams was shrinking little by little. As the score difference narrowed, the players in Shohoku looked towards Martial Arts.

There were also some changes in his eyes.

The status of Jinguji Martial Arts in Shohoku High School is actually quite strange. Everyone knows that Mitsui Hisashi is the ace of Shohoku High School.

But the strange thing is that since Budo came to Shohoku, in terms of offensive ball distribution, Budo has been attacking with the ball more times than Hisashi Mitsui. Although Budo does not have the title of ace, Budo is vaguely the leader of the Shohoku High School volleyball team.

The third player.

The second ranked player in Shohoku is Takenori Akagi. Although in the previous practice match with Lingnan High School, Takenori Akagi was far inferior to Martial Arts in terms of possession of the ball and scoring, but the team members’ concepts will not change because of a game.

A huge change occurred during the practice sessions.

In everyone's opinion, Wu Dao is just a scary newcomer. The word "newcomer" is enough to erase Wu Dao's excellent performance in practice matches.

However, the situation is different now. What Xiangbei High School plays now is not some insignificant practice match, but a real county competition.

Although Budo was still excellent in the first game of the prefectural competition, it did not compete with seniors such as Hisashi Mitsui and Akagi, so no one compared Budo with Hisashi Mitsui and Akagi.

But today's game highlighted the word "comparison".

The configuration of teammates in the first half of Martial Arts is exactly the same as Akagi, but the effect of the two people on the court is

On the court, Takenori Akagi once again caught the ball in the paint. The position where he caught the ball was three or four meters away from the basket. When receiving the ball in this position, Matsubara only had one defensive player.

Moreover, the defender's center of gravity is very low, and there is no fear that Akagi will shoot from this position.

Akagi held the basketball high and looked at the other three defensive players who were eyeing the paint area. He did not choose to force the inside. Akagi glanced at the defensive players in front of him with a slightly lowered eyebrow, adjusted his posture, and shot directly.

Akagi's wrist-pressing motion seemed a bit stiff when he shot the ball. The basketball hit the backboard, then bounced off the rim and flew outward.

"Rebound!" Several Matsubara players shouted, and a player under the basket quickly jumped up and controlled the rebound in his hands.

Seeing that Akagi's shot failed, Hei quickly returned to defense.

The first graders of Shohoku High School actually did not consume a lot of physical energy. The previous ten minutes of the game were mainly about martial arts attacking with the ball, so the players had enough physical energy and could return to defense very quickly.

Matsubara's counterattack chose to fall into position. After several passes, the basketball was given to Matsubara's No. 6, who then shot directly in front of Miyagi Ryota.

Matsubara's No. 6 is about 175cm tall. Miyagi's height and wingspan are a bit different, so he was unable to block the shot. The basketball fell directly into the net, leading to a counterattack.

Fifteen minutes into the first half, the score between the two teams reached 32:24. Jinguji Budo did not have much effort at the end. Shohoku High School was beaten by Matsubara with a small climax of 6:13. In these five minutes,

Takenori Akagi only scored one goal. Although he got two free throws, he was 1-for-2, scoring a total of four points.

The other two points were obtained by Miyagi's mid-range shot. Generally speaking, although Shohoku's offense was not completely blocked, it was not at the same level as the previous offensive efficiency when Budo was on the court.

"If this continues, the score will soon be overtaken, and a substitution is needed!" Mitsui Hisashi looked at Coach Anzai with burning eyes. He believed that at this time, it was his ace who should come on to help the team win.

Got it!

On the court, there is a transition between offense and defense.

Miyagi Ryota still found Takenori Akagi inside, dribbled the ball into the frontcourt and gave the ball to Akagi. Although Akagi failed many times in these rounds of offense, he at least scored one goal and successfully created two opponents.

A foul was at least much better than Miyagi's blind shot.

Takenori Akagi caught the ball inside. After a blast, he quickly turned around and tried to squeeze into the basket. However, his turning movement was not fast and his intention was obvious. Moreover, it seemed that Akagi was holding his breath in the previous few balls. Akagi's turn

The movements are somewhat deformed, with obvious shoulder sinking movements.

Matsubara's defender didn't even adjust his position. When Akagi turned around, he fell backwards and fell directly to the ground.

"Beep!" The referee's whistle also sounded as the Matsubara defender fell to the ground, giving Akagi an offensive foul.

"What?!" Takenori Akagi was a little confused. He stood on the spot holding the ball with both hands. After a long time, he reluctantly raised his hands after the referee's whistle warning.

On the Xiangbei side, taking advantage of this stoppage, coach Anxi made another substitution request.

Different from the substitutions in the previous game, this time, coach Anzai did not replace Hisashi Mitsui and Oishi Chiba. Instead, he patted Budo on the shoulder and asked Budo to replace Takenori Akagi and play again.

When Takenori Akagi walked off the court, he was crestfallen, with anger toward the Matsubara players between his brows. When he saw Jinguji Martial Arts on the sidelines, Akagi stretched out his hand and gave Martial Arts a high-five.

"Akagi, the inside line is not like yours. It's too slow and cumbersome."

"Look, I'll show you one more time."

Jinguji Budo whispered a few words in Akagi's ear while high-fiving Akagi, and then ran towards the field.

When Akagi heard this, he was a little angry at first, thinking that Wu Dao was mocking him, but when he looked back at Wu Dao's back, for some reason, all his anger disappeared, and he silently returned to the rest area and sat down on the bench.

.

"Akagi-kun, think back to your performance on the court just now, and then pay close attention to the martial arts attack."

"Although he does not play the center position, his playing style and skills are worth learning."

After Takenori Akagi sat down, Coach Anzai, who had been silent, pushed up his glasses and said to Akagi. When Akagi heard this, he first looked at Coach Anzai in surprise, and then nodded heavily to indicate that he understood.

Already.

Takenori Akagi is an arrogant person, and he is also a person who refuses to admit defeat. After all, when he first entered high school, he was the only one who could compete with Mitsui Jusuke.

But at the same time, Akagi is also a person who knows how to learn. If he sees his own shortcomings, Akagi will find ways to correct them.

When he first entered Shohoku as a freshman in high school, he would hit his feet while dribbling. However, after a year of training, at least Akagi will not make such low-level mistakes now. Moreover, although his inside skills are still stretched, he is better than before.

It has also been improved.

"That No. 15 from Xiangbei is on the field again!"

"Come on, Xiangbei! No. 15, fight hard and let us see what you are capable of!"

As Jinguji Martial Arts came on stage, the originally relatively quiet auditorium became lively at this moment. Jinguji Martial Arts had unknowingly accumulated some interested audiences.

When the Matsubara players saw Budo come on the court, they felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. The joy they felt at closing the score suddenly dissipated as soon as Budo returned to the court.

A heavy and depressing atmosphere lingered over the heads of the Songyuan players.

"Don't panic! Follow the method just now and continue to defend. This No. 15 may not be impossible to defend!"

As the game continued, Matsubara's captain received a pass from his teammate on the baseline and advanced toward the frontcourt, shouting loudly as he advanced.

On the Shohoku side, when Miyagi saw Budo returning to the court, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Matsubara who was organizing the attack and loudly encouraged him:

"Cheer up, everyone! Guard against one!"

"Ouch!!"

Miyagi's encouragement was enthusiastically echoed by his teammates. Although Budo didn't say anything or did anything, several first-year students looked at Jinguji Budo who was standing near the paint area, and they were all eager to fight.

soar.

Matsubara could clearly feel that the momentum of the Shohoku players was different. Although the defensive actions of the Shohoku players were still the same as before, the sense of oppression given to them was completely different.

"What a powerful guy. Just by returning to the court, Xiangbei's momentum suddenly changed!"

In the audience, Fujima and his teammates were paying attention to Shohoku's game. The change in Shohoku's momentum was keenly noticed by Fujima, and his fear of martial arts became even deeper.

"Hasegawa, did No. 15 really play on the back line before? When he stood on the inside line, Shohoku's momentum was completely different from before!"

"The Takenori Akagi just now has no such effect!"

While Fujima was amazed at the changes martial arts had brought to Shobei, he also began to doubt the information Hasegawa provided him last time.

"Maybe it's because I grew taller and switched to playing center." Hasegawa hesitated a little after hearing Fujima's question and answered uncertainly.

Fujima seemed to accept Hasegawa's answer, nodded silently, and looked towards the stadium.

At this time, Matsubara had just launched an attack. The presence of martial arts prevented Matsubara from playing inside. After a simple pass, Matsubara's players shot a mid-range shot. It was also because of the tremendous pressure martial arts brought to them. The one who shot

The player's posture was severely deformed, and the basketball fell out of the frame.

Under the basket, Wu Dao was already ready. The basketball had just left the basket and was still bouncing upward. Wu Dao had already jumped up, directly picked the basketball off the edge of the frame and held it in his hand.

The moment the rebound came in, Budo threw the ball directly to Miyagi. At the same time, he did not increase his speed and walked slowly towards the frontcourt. Miyagi was not used to Budo's current offensive rhythm, and Miyagi Ryota quickly caught the basketball.

Rushing towards the frontcourt.

When I reached the frontcourt and wanted to give the ball to Budao, I was shocked to realize that Budao had just run through half the court. This speed was not his usual offensive habit at all.

"Hey, Martial Arts, what are you doing?!"

"Such a good fast break opportunity wasted!"

Matsubara's defense was timely. Miyagi had no target to pass the ball to, nor did he make a breakthrough on his own. He carried the ball in a small half circle and pulled it from near the three-point line to a position two or three meters away from the three-point line.

"Pass the ball."

Budo ignored Miyagi and maintained his speed. After entering the inside, he turned his back to the basket and thought about Miyagi asking for the ball.

At this time, Budao's ball is still some distance away from the basket. There is only one player guarding him, but Matsubara has three people standing under the basket, standing in three directions. As long as Budao dares to enter the basket, those three people will

Follow up quickly.

Wu Dao received the basketball with his back to the basket, turned his head to observe the position of the defender, and suddenly turned around with the ball in his right hand. But when he turned to face the frame, Wu Dao suddenly lowered his center of gravity, changed direction in front of his body, and switched the ball.

When you reach your left hand, break through to the left side at the same time.

The defenders obviously did not expect that a man as tall as Martial Arts could change direction so quickly after turning around. He was immediately sent flying and completely out of the way.

As Budo approached the basket with the ball, the three Matsubara players rushed forward and surrounded him from three directions.

Wu Dao arrived at the basket at this time and stood directly under the basket. Looking at the three people surrounding him, he raised the ball and reached towards the basket, but Wu Dao's shooting action only deceived a defender. Wu Dao did not

Careful, he quickly collected the ball, half-turned on the spot and faked shooting again. This time, he deceived two. At the same time, the first player to take off also changed his position and rushed towards him.

Seeing this, Wu Dao didn't move his feet, took a long step out and looked back, and suddenly stood up.

Budo's two consecutive shooting fakes combined with his turning movements had long thrown the three of them away. At this time, he suddenly burst into flames, and no one could stop him. Jinguji Budo jumped up, grabbed the ball with both hands, and directly hit the ball.

The ball went into the basket.

Pulling onions on dry land, the strong force of grabbing the frame even caused the entire basketball stand to shake.

“ohhhhhh!!!!”

"Shobei! Shobei! Shobei!"

Wu Dao's rapid breakthrough in the low post, combined with his beautiful steps under the basket, and the powerful slam dunk at the end, directly ignited the audience. Cheers poured into the court like a tide, drowning everyone.

Wu Dao dropped the hanging frame, glanced at several Matsubara defenders, and started to return to defense. The Song Yuan defenders stood there stupidly, looking down at the basketball rolling aside. Wu Dao left for a long time, but he didn't notice.

See someone doing something.

"Completely. Not a player of the same level!"

After a long time, a Matsubara player sighed, then silently picked up the basketball and called on his teammates to organize an attack.

Although Matsubara had no intention of giving up the game, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Budo's slam dunk just now had completely destroyed the spirit of Matsubara's players.

Takenori Akagi sat on the bench, recalling the series of actions just performed by the martial arts, and couldn't help but have deep doubts about himself.

"Can I really do this?"

Of all the martial arts moves he can do, perhaps he can only complete the final slam dunk.

Before that, he seemed to be unable to achieve breakthroughs in low-speed and high-speed directions, and at the same pace as others!

In the rest of the first half, Jinguji Budo gave Akagi a good show of low-post moves for the audience. As long as Budo received the basketball close to the basket, Budo could easily fly past the defender to get an open shot.

Chance.

Moreover, Budo is different from Takenori Akagi. It is not only the standard shooting of two motion, but also hooks and throws near the frame in Budo, as well as violent slam dunks after starting speed. The way to score goals is much better than Takenori Akagi.

How rich.

At the end of the game, Matsubara's players no longer even wanted to follow the steps of Budō's front man. They no longer thought of defending against Budō's ball-handling offense and allowed the martial arts to attack. Matsubara completely gave up defense and focused on offense.

aspect.

However, with martial arts guarding the basket, it was not so easy to break through. For a while, the score difference between the two teams quickly widened again.

In the second half, the game was actually garbage time, because Matsubara no longer had the determination and confidence to win.

Coach Anzai re-adjusted the playing team so that all players can play for a while.

In the second game of the county competition, Xiangbei won again without any pressure.

After winning two consecutive rounds, Xiangbei played two more group matches intermittently in the next week. The opponents in the game were not strong. The playing time of the remaining two games of martial arts was basically between 10 and 12 minutes.

In these two games, Wu Dao's average score per game remained at 19 points.

At the same time, Martial Arts accumulated a large audience through four group matches with an average game time of less than 12 minutes.

All spectators who have watched the Shohoku football match know that on Shohoku No. 15, the strength of Jinguji Martial Arts is much higher than that of ordinary players. The prefectural competition has reached 8 and 4, but no one has ever seen the fighting power of Martial Arts when it is at full strength.

Therefore, the next game between Xiangbei High School and the old strong team Xiangyang High School attracted a large number of spectators.

On Saturday morning, it was just past 7 o'clock, but the basketball hall of the County Gymnasium was already bustling with people. The surrounding auditorium, which could accommodate thousands of people, was packed with spectators.

However, at this time, there is still almost an hour and a half left before today's first 8-4 match between Xiangbei and Xiangyang.
