Chapter 124 Complete Liberation, Xiangbei Ace’s Playing Style!

Shohoku's players started to return to the field one after another after Jinguji Budo made a three-pointer. However, the cheers from the audience continued one after another and did not stop for a long time.

In the stands, Hainan's tall coach held his folding fan tightly with both hands, his mouth slightly open, and the word "surprise" was written on every wrinkle on his face. Even Mu Shenyi sitting upright beside him,

Silently watching Hanagata Toru being pulled up by his teammates on the field.

If Wu Dao's previous goals only made everyone in Hainan pay attention to him, then Wu Dao's goal now directly tells everyone in Hainan that he will be the most powerful enemy Hainan has ever encountered.

"You are so tall, but your breakthrough speed is so fast."

"And his coordination is also very good. His ability to combine people with the ball is not what his height should have."

"The range, accuracy, and movement speed are all quite terrifying."

"There is no doubt that No. 15 from Xiangbei will be the best candidate to be the ace of any strong team in the country."

Coach Gao Tou finally came to his senses and murmured. He was judging the ability of Jinguji Martial Arts and the threat that Jinguji Martial Arts could pose to Hainan.

In the opinion of coach Gao Tou, it is simply impossible for this Xiangyang team to defeat Xiangbei High School.

"Mu, and you guys, all have to watch this game carefully and pay attention to No. 15. If nothing else happens, Xiangbei will be our biggest challenger in Hainan this year!"

As Coach Gao Tou said this, he glanced at the team manager not far away. The latter understood instantly and quickly took out a notebook and a pen from his bag and handed them to Coach Gao Tou.

After doing all this, he hurriedly left his seat and left the auditorium.

At this moment, Hainan has paid more attention to Shohoku High School, or Jinguji Martial Arts. This dynasty team that has occupied the throne of Kanagawa for more than ten years must carefully study its opponents.

In the court, Kenji Fujima and his teammates pulled Hanagata up, comforted him, said a few words of encouragement, and started to organize the attack.

However, there was obviously a subtle change in Hanagata's mentality. Being knocked to the ground by Jinguji Budo in front of so many people, Hanagata, a teenage boy, could not digest such a scandal so quickly.

Although the team that Shohoku is currently on the field has the support of Jinguji Martial Arts on the offensive end, it is really full of loopholes on the defensive end.

Although first-year Yasuda Yasuhiro and Tsunoda Satoru have undergone rigorous training since entering school, their physical fitness and defensive awareness cannot be improved in such a short period of time. They are just ordinary people, and

Not a genius.

Therefore, when Shoyo seriously attacked, Yasuda and Tsunoda simply could not keep up with Shoyo's offensive rhythm.

People in Shoyo seemed to be aware of Shohoku's defensive problems. Several players surrounded Fujima with continuous pick-and-roll screens, allowing Fujima to easily break through Miyagi's defense and get a one-on-one opportunity with Tsunoda or Yasuda.

Facing players of the same caliber as Tsunoda and Yasuda, Fujima played quite easily and was able to easily attack from the outside.

"Whoa!" Fujima's shooting ability is very good, and soon he helped the team take the lead again.

Faced with a two-point difference, Jinguji Budo quickly responded. Facing Hanagata's defense, Budo also received the ball from outside the three-point line, and then used his speed advantage to break through directly after the fake shot.

Finish with a mid-range shot.

Although there is no problem with Hanagata's defensive attitude, the gap in physical strength makes it impossible for him to defend against Budo's attack. Xiangyang also tried to limit Budo's scoring by switching defenses, but even if the defensive player was replaced by Shinji Koizumi, there was no way to prevent him.

Martial Arts' offense and double-teaming also cannot limit Martial Arts' shooting.

In the end, Xiangyang simply broke the pot and built an iron wall around the paint area. As for the martial arts side, they just let the flower-shaped energy interfere. As for the martial arts shooting, all they had to do was pray that the martial arts would not go in.

Although the attack power of Jinguji Budo was quite terrifying, as the competition progressed, Shohoku High School began to fall into a disadvantage.

No matter how good Jinguji Martial Arts' personal ability is, it is impossible to hit every shot during the game. Missing shots is inevitable. The long-distance offense in Martial Arts means that he rarely has the opportunity to rush inside to grab rebounds. Without Martial Arts'

Rebounding support and offensive rebounding are almost monopolized by Shinji Koizumi of Xiangyang.

Oishi Chiba was no match for Shinji Koizumi, and the basketball board was completely blown away.

On Xiangyang's side, after Fujima missed two shots from the outside, the point of attack shifted to Shinji Koizumi on the inside. Shinji Koizumi was very sharp in the offense under the basket, directly blasting Chiba.

When I hit Chiba, I couldn’t find the north.

Budo tried to switch defenses with Chiba Oishi, with Chiba Oishi to defend Hanagata, and Budo to defend Shinji Koizumi, but Shinji Koizumi is indeed a repeater and a pretty good thief. After the Shohoku side switches defense, Koizumi will pass the ball.

Give Hanagata, and at the same time pull Budo's defense away from the inside, giving Hanagata a chance to single out Chiba Oishi.

Poor Chiba can't beat Shinji Koizumi, nor can he beat Toru Hanagata. The second-year Hanagata has also mastered shooting. Although he doesn't have as far a shooting range as Budo, he always catches the ball close to the basket.

, facing Chiba, who is much shorter than him, Hanagata will almost never miss a shot at such a close range, and even if he misses, he can still compete for rebounds.

Finally, the face Hanagata lost with Budo was regained with Chiba Oishi.

14 minutes into the first half, the score between the two teams reached 25:31, with Xiangbei High School trailing Xiangyang by 6 points.

Jinguji Budo's personal score has reached a terrifying twenty points, but for the team, the situation is not optimistic.

Shoyang had the ball. At this time, Hanagata once again received a pass from Fujima on the inside, backed up Chiba Oishi, then turned sideways and threw the ball directly with a small hook from close range.

Chiba defended very hard and predicted Hanagata's next offensive intention. However, when it came time to defend, he was limited by his height and wingspan. He jumped up and slapped Hanagata's forearm. Not only was he unable to

Will intercepted a flower-shaped shot and even received a foul.

Following the referee's whistle, the basketball fell steadily into the net.

2+1, Huaxing was sent to the free throw line.

"Damn it!" Chiba Oishi cursed angrily and turned to look at Hana Xing with a gloomy expression.

In this game, Chiba, like first-year students like Yasuda and Tsunoda, became Xiangyang's breakthrough point on the offensive end!

At this time, coach Anxi, who had been silent for a long time, finally took action and made a substitution while Xiangyang was taking a free throw.

"Aw~~ I've been holding it in for so long, and I can finally move around."

"Xiangyang, get ready!"

Hisashi Mitsui screamed happily when he heard Coach Anzai's instruction to play, then hurriedly took off his jacket, stretched briefly and ran directly towards the court. Those who were substituted with Hisashi Mitsui, and

Takenori Akagi and Konobu Kigure.

On the court, Chiba Oishi, Tsunoda Satoru and Yasuda Yaharu were replaced.

"Whoa!" As Toru Hanagata stabbed the ball into the net, the point difference between the two teams finally reached 9 points. However, the momentum of Shohoku's side did not weaken at all. On the contrary, as Mitsui Hisashi and Akagi Tsuyoshi

Xian and Kimugure Kimibu came on the court, and the atmosphere on the bench became lively.

"Now is the time for Xiangbei to truly show its strength."

"There are still 6 minutes left before the end of the first half. If Xiangyang can block it during this period, the outcome will still be uncertain in the second half."

"If we can't stop it, Xiangyang's morale will be completely exhausted, and there will be no chance again!"

Coach Taoka saw clearly, and with the substitution of Shohoku, Coach Taoka knew that the turning point in this game had come, and Shohoku High School would not show its true strength until now.

"Everyone should cheer up and get the score back bit by bit!"

Hisashi Mitsui walked into the court and came to the baseline to serve Miyagi Ryota. While serving the ball, he shouted to his teammates.

"good!"

Miyagi responded, slowly advancing towards the frontcourt with the ball, and began to slow down the offensive rhythm. Jinguji Budo and Takenori Akagi ran towards the frontcourt early, and had not been in the mid-range or inside for a long time.

Jinguji Budo, who received the ball, did not stay outside the three-point line this time, and pushed directly towards the inside.

Sensing the change in Budo's movement, Fujima winked at his teammates on both sides and immediately pressed on Miyagi as soon as he crossed the three-point line. Following his movements, several Xiangyang players also tacitly understood each other.

They surrounded Mitsui Hisashi and Kimugure Kimibu nobu, and provided close defense when the two just crossed the center line.

"The defense is very strong! The game has been going on for more than ten minutes, and the defensive actions are still so agile. You are worthy of being a member of Xiangyang."

"However, this alone is not enough."

Xiangyang's defense was very strong, but Mitsui Hisahi just smiled and didn't pay much attention. After speaking, Mitsui Hisashi directly started to speed up and led the defensive players to start running towards the three-point line. At the same time, Mitsui Hisashi

Kotobuki was quickly approaching Miyagi who was holding the ball.

Miyagi advanced very slowly under the defense of Fujima Kenji. He was unable to release the ball for a long time after crossing the center line. Budo did not come to respond from outside the three-point line, so it became a bit difficult for him to release the ball.

But just when Miyagi was struggling, Mitsui Hisashi and his figure appeared in Miyagi's sight.

Mitsui Hisashi and Miyagi looked at each other from a distance, and suddenly ran away, directly throwing away the defenders who were chasing after them. At the same time, Miyagi also faked a sudden pass and gave the ball to Mitsui in the completely opposite direction of the breakthrough.

In Shou's hands.

After receiving the ball, Hisashi Mitsui quickly turned around to face the frame. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the defensive player rushing forward again. With a simple bow, he directly deceived the opponent into flying to block the shot. The next second, Hisashi Mitsui directly took the ball and rushed towards the inside.

Go in.

Mitsui Hisashi's breakthrough with the ball made all the Xiangyang players inside feel like they were facing a formidable enemy. Mitsui Hisashi and the people of Xiangyang were no strangers to him. Last year, Mitsui Hisashi once led Shohoku to appear in front of them, and he almost led them.

The team defeated them. Facing Mitsui Hisashi, several insiders from Xiangyang quickly surrounded Mitsui Hisashi.

As for Martial Arts, seeing Mitsui Hisashi break through, he silently followed the baseline and moved towards the basket from the mid-range.

"Don't even think about it!!"

Mitsui Hisashi stared directly at the basket, as if there were no other defensive players in his eyes. After crossing the free throw line, he directly raised the ball and took off. Seeing this, Hanagata and Koizumi Shinji rushed towards Mitsui Hisashi without thinking and shouted.

At the same time, the basketball in Mitsui Hisashi's hand was also released directly.

The parabola of basketball is very high, but in the eyes of Hanagata and Koizumi, the path of Mitsui Hisashi's ball is too deflected to make it possible to score!

"Hey!" Hisashi Mitsui certainly knew that his throw was seriously deflected, but at this time, a smile of success appeared on his face.

"It's a pass!" Fujima from the outside saw it clearly. When the basketball flew toward the backboard, Jinguji Budo was already approaching the basket quickly without knowing it. Moreover, Budo's running was very rhythmic, and it seemed that he was

Gather momentum.

"Bang!" After an undetectable soft sound, Jinguji Budo broke into the inside and kicked off one foot, jumped up, and directly grabbed the ball firmly in his hand with his right hand in the air. He grabbed the ball at a higher height than the basket.

The basket is dozens of centimeters higher, which is simply beyond the reach of ordinary high school students.

Although Hanagata and Koizumi had already reacted at this time, let alone having no time to stop him, even if they were given time to make up defense, they still couldn't reach Budo's hand to catch the ball.

"Duang!!!!" Jinguji Budo fell quickly and poured the ball directly into the basket with his right hand. With a loud noise, the entire basketball stand began to shake violently.

"Bang!" Jinguji Budo landed quickly after dunking. When his feet landed on the ground, the floor made a muffled sound. But until Budo landed, the basketball stand still did not stop shaking and was still creaking.

.

The Xiangbei bench had already burst into jubilation, and the cheers from the audience also poured into the stadium.

"Jinguji Budo has been completely liberated!" Shigeru Taoka murmured when he saw Jinguji Budo alley-oop dunk, and then looked at Mitsui Hisashi who passed the ball.

Jinguji Budo's ball-handling offense is very powerful. Coach Taoka certainly knows this, but if Budo is allowed to hold the ball and attack from outside the three-point line for the whole game, let's not talk about whether Budo's physical fitness can support it.

, just trying to take into account defense while maintaining that terrifying shooting percentage is unrealistic.

In this regard, Coach Taoka is convinced that Jinguji Martial Arts cannot do this.

But things were different after Mitsui Hisagi and Akagi came on the court. Not only did Jinguji Budo's offensive distance shorten, but the defensive pressure also dropped sharply. In fact, Budo, with its terrifying bounce, could make cuts without the ball on the offensive end.

This type of playing without the ball and playing with the ball have completely different demands on physical energy.

Shinomiya Tano is probably the one who can understand this best.

Before Mitsui Hisashi and others came on the court, Jinguji Budo's offense mainly relied on shooting, and slam dunks inside were rare.

After all, taking off and dunking with all one's strength requires a lot of physical strength. Ordinary people will be out of breath after jumping six or seven times with all their strength. The previous Jinguji Martial Arts was obviously saving energy, but now, Jinguji Martial Arts obviously has no scruples.

"Phew~ It feels so good!"

"Xiaosan, good job!"

After the Jinguji Budo dunk, he was in a good mood. He laughed and fist-bumped with Mitsui Hisashi to celebrate.

Before Mitsui and the others came on the field, Budoka had been playing cautiously. While allocating his physical strength, he was also afraid that he could not handle the ball well and the score would be stretched too far. Although he always had a calm look on his face, Budoka's

The psychological pressure is also considerable.

But when Mitsui Hisashi and Akagi came on stage, they no longer had any worries about martial arts. When they were tired, they would just fish for a while. Anyway, Mitsui Hisashi could regain his firepower, so rest and continue!

Jinguji Budo's slam dunk greatly boosted morale, but also severely damaged Xiangyang's momentum.

After the transition between offense and defense, Xiangyang's offense became extremely difficult. On the inside, Budo defended Shinji Koizumi, and Akagi defended Hanagata.

On the outside, although Miyagi is still defending Fujima, with Mitsui Hisashi watching eagerly nearby, Fujima's space to play is severely compressed.

Even if he used the pick-and-roll, Fujima would encounter Konobu Kigure, who was similar in height to himself and had abundant physical strength. Or, Hisashi Mitsui, who was a head taller than himself, had rich defensive experience and excellent speed.

For a moment, Xiangyang's attack stalled.
