Chapter 336 The little blacksmith in northern Hunan!

"Katsumi, don't be anxious. When advancing with the ball, pay attention to the other Lingnan players and pass the ball out as soon as possible before double teams come up."

"Rukawa Kaede and I will protect you as you advance. Pay attention to our position."

"Play slowly, it's normal to make some mistakes."

With Akira Sendō's fast break score, the offense and defense of Shohoku and Ryōnan began to become unbalanced. At this time, Jinguji Budo was also aware of Katsumi Ichiro's problem.

Katsumi Ichiro's dribbling ability is actually quite good. Generally speaking, even if he is forced to stop the ball when faced with a double team, he will not be intercepted so easily by the opponent.

But Lingnan High School is not an ordinary opponent after all. Kenji Fujima and Akira Sendō who are leading Miichiro are still top players even if they are on the national stage. The first-year Katsumi Ichiro is still too young to face these two people.

Some.

After Jinguji Budo entered Shohoku, they were already familiar with the presence of Miyagi Ryota in the back line. Although the 168cm Miyagi Ryota is difficult to achieve on the defensive end, and the role he can play on the offensive end is also limited, but from a certain aspect

Said Miyagi Ryota is definitely a qualified point guard.

Being able to bring the ball safely to the frontcourt and deliver it to the hands of the ace is actually something that many defenders cannot do. The more high-end the game, the more important the role of the point guard is.

.

On this point, I am afraid that the Chinese team before 2010 has the most say.

Jinguji Budo, who has long been accustomed to Miyagi dribbling the ball into the frontcourt, did not think of providing support after Katsumi Ichiro came on. This was Jinguji Budo's mistake.

"Yes, Jinguji-senpai!"

Katsumi Ichiro caught the ball in the backcourt, nodded towards Budō, and then started to advance with the ball. Shohoku High School, which had suffered a loss, quickly adjusted its strategy. Budō and Rukawa Kaede protected Katsumi Ichiro when he advanced with the ball.

On both sides of Katsumi, several people are separated by several meters. If Katsumi Ichiro encounters a double-team again, Budo and Rukawa Kaede will be his most suitable passing points.

"Oh! Xiangbei responded very quickly!"

"These kids, even without the coach's reminder, can make adjustments immediately. It's really good."

"It seems that the method of double-teaming the defender is not feasible for the time being."

"But it doesn't matter. If Jinguji Budo has to support his teammates to advance with the ball, Shohoku's rhythm will inevitably slow down."

"We at Lingnan High School will not lose to anyone in a positional battle!"

Off the court, Coach Taoka saw the changes in the formation of Shohoku High School, and immediately realized that his goal should not be achieved. However, Coach Taoka was still very satisfied with the results achieved so far.

Say, it’s definitely good news!

A few seconds later, with the support of Jinguji Budo and Rukawa Kaede, Katsumi Ichiro successfully dribbled the ball into the frontcourt. Under Budo's instruction, Katsumi Ichiro passed the ball to Rukawa Kaede, who had just run to the corner. But Budo

On his own, he started quickly and penetrated towards the inside line.

In the previous rounds of offense, Budao realized that if he continued to catch the ball and attack outside the three-point line, the offensive efficiency would be greatly reduced. In order to prevent the opponent from opening up the score, it is very important to ensure the continuity of firepower.

What Wu Dao is best at is actually catching the ball and attacking in the mid-range. Only in this position can his personal abilities be fully utilized. In this position, when advancing, he can feint, fake, shoot, and retreat.

You can also reach outside the three-point line and shoot three-pointers.

Playing like this will definitely tear Lingnan's defense apart, allowing other players to have good open opportunities.

Jinguji Budo's off-ball movement immediately attracted Shinomiya's attention. While following Jinguji Budo's movement, he used his peripheral vision to look at Rukawa Kaede who was receiving the ball from outside the three-point line, paying close attention to the opponent's movements.

At this time, Katsumi Ichiro, who had just released the ball, quickly ran towards Rukawa Kaede and gave Rukawa Kaede a pick-and-roll. The pick-and-roll was set. Rukawa Kaede followed the direction of the pick-and-roll and made a breakthrough feint. The next second, Rukawa Kaede reversed the direction.

breakthrough.

With this move, he successfully deceived Xiandao, making Xiandao think that Rukawa Kaede would rush in the direction of the pick-and-roll. When Xiandao turned around to pursue, Rukawa Kaede had successfully opened a body distance from Xiandao, and quickly broke through to the inside.

Shinomiya, who was chasing the martial arts, was just on the path of Rukawa Kaede when Rukawa Kaede broke through. He hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but slow down. Jinguji Budo had already crossed the corner from the right side of the court.

Under the basket, it reached the three-point line in the left corner of the court.

Rukawa Kaede looked at the Shinomiya field in front of him, his expression condensed, his eyes became fiery, he immediately put the ball together and jumped up.

Shinomiya saw Rukawa Kaede's expression clearly. Seeing that the opponent was trying to shoot in front of him, he immediately raised his eyebrows and stood firm. He stared at the basketball in Rukawa Kaede's hands with his eyes, preparing to take off and block the shot.

.

However, the next second, Rukawa Kaede, who was looking at the basket, suddenly sent the ball towards the bottom corner and passed the ball out.

"Um?!"

Sendō, who was following Rukawa Kaede, looked stunned for a moment. He looked along the path of the ball and saw that Jinguji Budō had already made a posture to catch the ball. The next second, the basketball came in and Jinguji Budō's hand was also raised.

stand up.

And at this moment, a blue figure flashed in front of Xiandao, rushing towards Jinguji Martial Arts. The moment Martial Arts raised the ball over his head, he jumped high, and a big hand directly blocked Martial Arts in front of him.

All projection routes.

"Shinomiya Tōno!"

"Sure enough, your athletic ability has really caught up!"

Budo raised the ball, looked at Shinomiya Tano leaping high in front of him, suddenly collected the ball, dropped the ball sideways and took a step across, easily avoiding the opponent's block, and directly shot a three-pointer.

The basketball flew directly past Shinomiya's side and flew towards the basket. The next second, a crisp sound of the net reached Shinomiya's ears.

Jinguji Budo maintained his projection posture, turned his head and glanced at Shinomiya Tanano who had fallen back to the ground, and quickly turned back to defend.

"Huh~"

"Sorry, Tianye, I missed someone."

Just as Shinomiya watched the departing Jinguji Budo, Sendao came behind Shinomiya with a smile on his face and said. Although he said he was sorry, he couldn't tell from Sendao's expression.

Sorry meaning.

"No"

"It's the first grade that I looked up to."

"I thought he would choose to challenge me!"

Shinomiya recalled the look he had just seen on Rukawa Kaede's face, and shook his head with a smile.

That kind of fighting spirit cannot be faked, but Rukawa Kaede restrained the idea of ​​challenging the opponent and chose a more reasonable style of play.

The game became more and more intense with the alternation of offense and defense between Xiangbei High School and Lingnan High School.

Since Jinguji Budo did not continue to receive the ball outside the three-point line, Rukawa Kaede instead became Katsumi Ichiro's first passing option after bringing the ball into the frontcourt.

The task of offensive organization fell on Rukawa Kaede.

Under such huge pressure, the first-year Rukawa Kaede did well. In the matchup with Xiandao, Rukawa Kaede was only half as good, and the difference was only due to the difference in physical fitness. In

In terms of organizational skills and single-player offense, Rukawa Kaede is not afraid of Immortalism at all.

Jinguji Budo, who plays without the ball, will catch the ball in the mid-range position most of the time. His gorgeous mid-low steps make Budo's shots smoother and smoother. From time to time, Lengjian who pulls outside the three-point line can also

It's always easy for Shinomiya to take advantage of the situation on defense.

Facing a formidable offensive player like Jinguji Budo with strong shooting ability, even if Shinomiya's physical fitness is better, there is no good way to use martial arts for a while. All he can do is to fight in Jinguji

When shooting in Temple Budo, he uses his unique skill - covering his eyes to defend.

After only ten minutes of the game, Shinomiya's blind defense had little effect.

Although Shinomiya Tano has not counted the hit rate of martial arts, the crisp sound of the net swiping has already made Shinomiya Tano a little tired of hearing it.

Compared with Shohoku's individual performance, Lingnan's offense was very systematic and methodical. Hanagata's high pick-and-roll made it easy for Shinomiya Tōno, Sendō, and Fujima to play on the offensive end. And there are

Sometimes Sakuragi will follow the ball carrier, allowing Hanagata to get an open shot.

In addition to Uozumi, the four people from Lingnan were more blossoming, making it difficult for Shohoku High School to resist.

At 17 minutes and 40 seconds into the first half, the score between the two teams reached 47:44. Xiangbei High School clung to the score and was only 3 points behind Lingnan. The ball was still in the hands of Xiangbei High School.

In the court, Jinguji Budo caught the ball from the middle distance on the right side, and Shohoku's attack time was still 16 seconds away. Lingnan did not dare to double-team Jinguji Budo, and adopted man-to-man defense, staring at

Every player in Xiangbei.

At this time, in the stands, the entire audience held their breath and focused their attention on Jinguji Martial Arts.

"Bang!" In the middle of the court, Jinguji Budo hit the ball with his back. He leaned behind him and tested Shinomiya's defensive position. On the defensive side, Shinomiya was calming down slightly, with his left hand against the martial arts

On his back, his right hand is slightly raised, ready to follow up and block shots at any time.

In the previous confrontation, Jinguji's sudden turn and back after a back attack had left a deep impression on him.

The force coming from his arm was gone, and Shinomiya's expression was slightly condensed. The next second, Jinguji Budo, who was carrying the basket, suddenly turned his back, and Shinomiya followed up without hesitation, and thrust his right hand towards the basketball.

Cut off.

But the moment Shinomiya moved his body, Jinguji Budo actually spun in circles, dribbling with his hips, and the basketball landed not in front of him at all, but at his feet. At this time, Shinomiya

Tian Ye's body has already been chased away, and there is a half-length space between the two.

In this kind of gap, Shinomiya Tano already knew what the other party was going to do, but all he could do at this time was to reach out and symbolically block the martial arts' line of sight.

Sure enough, Jinguji Martial Arts, who turned around and pulled back, leaned back and pulled out his hand.

After a cool fadeaway jumper, Shinomiya turned his head and looked at the basket, ready to meet the tennis god who was already tired of hearing about it.

"Dang~"

However, the ball thrown by Jinguji Budo hit the edge of the basket and crashed out of the basket. Shinomiya Tano looked slightly startled, but then quickly reacted and rushed straight to the basket.

Uozumi under the basket had just taken off to grab the ball in his hands, but a blue shadow quickly rose into the air behind him, and from behind him, he reached out and picked the ball off Akagi's head.

"Fight back!!!!"

After grabbing the rebound, Shinomiya shouted excitedly, and then threw the ball directly to the frontcourt, where Fujima and Sendō had quickly approached the midline and rushed towards the Shohoku half.

After the ball was released, Shinomiya had no intention of participating in the fast break. He turned his head and glanced at Jinguji Budo not far away. He felt happy when he saw the tiredness in his eyes.

"Such a goal didn't go in!"

"Haha, it's been eighteen minutes, it's time to take a rest."

"But we still can't take it lightly. This guy is probably distracted due to physical exertion. The offensive threat is still great."

Shinomiya Tōno thought to himself and looked towards the front court.

Lingnan High School's fast break ended with Xiandao's dunk.

During the alternation of offense and defense, the basketball once again came into the hands of Jinguji Budo, and this time, Budo received the ball near the three-point line.

After a false shot, Jinguji Budo quickly broke through. When Shinomiya followed up, he made a sudden advance, and then made a step-back jumper. Jinguji Budo's series of breakthrough actions were still smooth.

He created his own opening for shooting.

Two minutes longer.

"Dang~"

Just when the audience was about to start cheering for Jinguji Budo's goal, the basketball actually collapsed out of the basket and made a crisp sound.

After missing two consecutive shots, Jinguji Martial Arts transformed into a blacksmith at this moment, striking iron crazily.

But this time, the offensive rebound was grabbed by Sakuragi Hanamichi. Shinomiya had just rushed inside to grab the rebound. Sakuragi, who got the rebound, turned around and passed the ball to Jinguji Budo again.

in hand.

At this time, Jinguji Budo had just retreated beyond the three-point line. He was actually ready to return to defense, but he did not expect that Sakuragi was so powerful and got the rebound.

An open three-point shot was taken. This time, without any surprise, the basketball went directly into the net.

The choked audience still burst into cheers. The two missed shots of Jinguji Martial Arts were immediately forgotten by the audience.

"whispering sound!"

"Didn't you get the rebound?"

Off the field, Coach Taoka curled his lips in displeasure, glared at Uozumi and Hanagata sternly, and then crossed his arms angrily. After a brief silence, Coach Taoka suddenly let out a sneer, and then said himself

Said:

"But it doesn't matter. Xiangbei is at the end of its battle."

"The concentration level of Jinguji Martial Arts has begun to decline. I really didn't expect that this guy's concentration level is so terrifying. It's only now in the game that he started to make some obvious mistakes."

Speaking of this, Coach Taoka looked towards the rest area of ​​Shohoku High School with a smile, but when his eyes saw Mitsui Hisashi and Coach Anzai who looked indifferent, Coach Taoka's smile froze on his face.

"Misui Hisashi?!"

"That's right. I was attracted by the duel between Jinguji Martial Arts and Tanano, but I ignored the others. Mitsui Hisashi never played!"

"Coach Anxi, what is your plan?"

"Are you planning to give up the fight to test the lineup?"
