Chapter 23 Death Coil, the Suppressed Ace!

"That kid not only kept up with Xiandao's running and completed the steal, he even didn't forget to block Xiandao's position during the fast break."

"If it weren't for him, with Sendō's speed he would have been able to catch up with Takeshi's No. 5. With Sendō's size, it would not be impossible to block this ball."

"This guy is very experienced!"

Under the court, coach Shingo Katori of Akizuki High School was stroking his chin and looking at Jinguji Martial Arts who was standing in front of Sendō. Although he did not know Jinguji Martial Arts, this did not prevent him from taking a high look at Martial Arts.

Although he didn't have much time on the court since Budo, just looking at Budo's handling of the ball just now was enough to attract Katori Shingo's attention.

This kind of court experience is not something that an ordinary junior high school student has.

"Immortal way!"

Katori Shingo shouted Sendō's name loudly, and when Sendō looked at Katori Shingo, Katori Shingo spread his palms downwards and pressed down.

Sendō nodded silently after seeing Katori Shingo's actions, and then ran towards the backcourt, preparing to meet his teammates who were serving and advancing at this time.

"Huh?" Xiandao was about to return to the field to catch the ball, but after running a few steps, he suddenly found someone following him.

Looking back in surprise, he saw Jinguji Martial Arts following him with a smile on his face.

"This guy wants to keep an eye on me and not let me catch the ball?!" Xiandao's pupils shrank when he saw Wu Dao's figure. He was a little surprised and a little funny at the same time. It is quite difficult to guard a player without the ball to death.

"Huh?" Wu Dao's weird behavior also attracted the attention of others. As far as defense is concerned, generally speaking, defensive players will wait for the opponent to enter their own half before attacking.

One is that the offensive players do not pose a threat before entering their own half, and there is no need to defend, thus saving energy. Another reason is that the opponent has a long distance from the backcourt to the frontcourt. Generally speaking, without the ball

It is very easy for the players to get rid of the defense in such a large area.

Instead of wasting energy chasing after you, it's better to stay in the backcourt and maintain a defensive formation.

The defensive method of chasing a player closely and even following him to the opponent's half, such as martial arts, is generally only used when the team is engaged in a full-court press, which requires teammates to apply pressure together.

Although Xiandao didn't think that Wu Dao had the ability to defend him from catching the ball, he was still quite alert to Wu Dao's defense. After realizing that Wu Dao had caught up with him, he suddenly changed his rhythm. He was still slow at first.

Jogging, he suddenly accelerated towards his own bottom line.

At this time, the players from Qiuyue High School have completed the baseline serve, and the basketball is being held by No. 5 from Qiuyue High School.

He noticed Xiandao's actions, and just as he was about to pass the ball, he found that Wudao was also speeding up and followed Xiandao closely.

In order not to repeat the same mistake, the player did not choose to throw the ball. He glanced in the direction of Xiandao and advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

When Xiandao saw his teammates entering the frontcourt, he stopped suddenly, and then ran slowly towards the frontcourt. Although Xiandao was slow, Martial Arts did not neglect. Facing Xiandao, he walked backwards towards his own half, with his eyes still open.

Just look at the position of the basketball at this time.

"Squeak!" Suddenly, Xiandao put his forearm on Wu Dao's body and rushed out to the side. Wu Dao, who noticed Xiandao's movement, also turned around and followed closely, but at this time, he was not far away from Xiandao.

There is already a status difference.

Xiandao, who briefly escaped from martial arts, ran in the direction of their team's No. 5 player. When Xiandao approached, the No. 5 player had already brought the ball to a distance of about 3 meters outside the three-point line. Xiandao's movement was very

Quickly, he passed by the No. 5 player in the blink of an eye, and the basketball fell into Xiandao's hands smoothly.

"Hand-to-hand, it's unrealistic for Xiandao to be unable to catch the ball."

"But even if we catch the ball, there is nothing we can do!"

Wu Dao was only one position behind Xiandao. The moment Xiandao successfully caught the basketball, Wu Dao was already in front of Xiandao, and he opened his arms calmly.

But between him and Xiandao, the No. 5 player from Qiuyue High School stood still, faintly blocking the gap between Martial Arts and Xiandao.

Xiandao stood still with the ball in both hands, raised his head calmly, looked into Wu Dao's eyes, looking for an opportunity to break through.

"Here we go, Jinguji-san, whether you can stop him or not will determine your status in the team."

"Let me see if you are qualified to enter the starting lineup in the first grade!"

The matchup between Martial Arts and Xiandao attracted the attention of everyone on the court. Xiandao was the ace scorer of Qiuyue High School, which everyone could tell from the previous few goals.

As for Budo who came on as a substitute, Masayoshi Anzai obviously had high hopes, otherwise he would not have replaced Taro Toyokawa, a third-year player, as a first-year player.

In this game, whether Wushi Middle School can suppress the offensive of Qiuyue High School depends to a large extent on the result of the confrontation between martial arts and immortality.

"coming!"

Wu Dao's eyes were fixed on the basketball in Xiandao's hand, and he looked at Xiandao's legs from the corner of his eye. Suddenly, the basketball in Xiandao's hand moved quickly towards Wu Dao's right, but his legs were bent in the direction of Xiandao.

Looking at the other side, Martial Arts noticed this and started to act decisively.

"Pa!" The basketball hit the ground hard, Xiandao quickly broke through to the left side of Wu Dao, and just as Xiandao made a move, Wu Dao's figure quickly attached to Xiandao, and at the same time, his left hand followed the trajectory of the rebound of the basketball, and quickly

Shooting the basketball.

"squeak!"

And just when Wu Dao was about to touch the basketball, Xiandao's left hand suddenly hit the basketball. The basketball was quickly protected by Xiandao's side. At the same time, Xiandao's body suddenly stopped in place.

Xiandao's body had just stopped, and Wu Dao's body had also stopped. He hunched his waist, covered Xiandao's face with one hand, and raised the other hand to guard against Xiandao's breakthrough.

"I've been seen through!" Xiandao's heart sank slightly. After moving the basketball back and forth under his crotch for a few times, he raised his center of gravity and took a step back. It seemed that he gave up the attack.

However, his movements were just confusing. As long as Martial Arts raised its center of gravity and kept up, Xiandao could speed up instantly and pass through Martial Arts' defense, although Xiandao's calculations were very loud.

But the martial arts in front of him didn't follow his example at all. It still kept its center of gravity. While Xiandao retreated, the martial arts even maintained the height of its center of gravity and took a small step forward without relaxing at all.

The position where Xiandao stopped was still more than one meter away from the three-point line. Even if there was a good chance to shoot now, Xiandao would not dare to shoot from this position.

Xiandao, whose attack was blocked, not only did not feel depressed at all, but actually had a smile on his face.

"An opponent like this is interesting!"

Sendao whispered, lowered his center of gravity again, and moved the basketball back and forth low in front of him, seeming to induce Martial Arts to steal.

"Hurry up and attack here. Why don't we leave the cooking in place?"

Wu Dao had no intention of stealing the ball. He stared at the basketball with his eyes fixed on the basketball. He paid attention to Xiandao's feet from the corner of his eye. Seeing Xiandao's delay in attacking, he urged him loudly.
