Chapter 348: Full-court press, 3 hellish minutes!

Just a second ago, he was shooting a three-pointer from outside the three-point line. In the blink of an eye, Jinguji Budo rushed inside to complete the make-up dunk. This kind of self-shooting and self-grabbing display of terrifying athletic ability made all of Green Wind's

The students were all shocked.

Tetsuya Naito, who was knocked to the ground by Jinguji Budō, quickly got up from the ground and looked at Jinguji Budō with eyes full of anger. This was the first time since he played basketball that he had encountered such a dunk.

Before Jinguji Budo, no one had been able to make Naito Tetsuya suffer such a big loss. Although he had only played for less than a year, Naito Tetsuya believed that his ability was outstanding, and the team members had always

The practice matches also built up his confidence.

Not only did the Jinguji Martial Arts barrier not make Tetsuya Naito lose his fighting spirit, but it completely aroused his desire to win.

"Brother Martial Arts, look at people when you dunk. I'm still under the basket!"

"That guy is really strong. His butt hurts."

Jinguji Budo walked in front of Sakuragi Hanamichi and reached out to pull Sakuragi Hanamichi up from the ground. Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was brought down by Naito, looked depressed at this time. He did not lose his temper towards Naito Tetsuya.

He just muttered something complaining, rubbed his butt and frowned slightly.

"Sorry, sorry." Budo smiled and patted Sakuragi's waist, dusted off the non-existent dust on Sakuragi Hanamichi's body, then glanced at Naito Tetsuya, and quickly returned to the field to defend, without completely touching Naito Tetsuya.

Keep it in mind.

"Asshole, I won't let you go." Jinguji Budo's posture made Tetsuya Naito very unhappy. He was already furious. He was even more angry at this moment. He angrily held the basketball and walked to the bottom line, fiercely

He threw it towards his teammates.

Tsurumi Seiji, who was receiving the ball, seemed not to have expected that Naito's serve would be so powerful. His hand slipped and he failed to catch the ball firmly. When the basketball fell to the ground and rebounded, he hurriedly controlled the ball in his hands.

A good steal opportunity, but at this time the Xiangbei players had already returned to the field to defend and were unable to catch the opponent's mistake.

"Hey, Naito! Why do you have to serve so hard?!"

Tsurumi Seiji shouted at Naito Tetsuya, with some complaints in his tone. However, Naito Tetsuya completely ignored his teammates and quickly ran towards the front court after serving the ball, passing by Tsurumi Seiji.

He didn't even turn his head at all.

"This guy."

"What a rookie after all!"

Tsurumi Seiji curled his lips, ignored Naito Tetsuya, and began to advance with the ball.

"ho"

Coach Anxi on the sidelines was keenly aware that the Green Wind players on the court seemed to be a little emotional. He murmured softly, raised his head slightly, and looked towards the court.

Jinguji Budo on the field also noticed Tsurumi Seiji's mistake when catching the ball. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly and he thought to himself:

"It is indeed a newly formed team."

"It seems that the running-in is not going well."

"Give them more fire."

While thinking, Jinguji Budo glanced at Mitsui Hisashi. At this time, Mitsui Shouya seemed to have noticed something and also looked in Jinguji Budo's direction.

The two of them looked at each other and had a spiritual connection for an instant. The next second, Jinguji Budo and Mitsui Hisashi, who were still on defense, quickly rushed towards the Green Wind team members. They actually gave up their position and took the initiative to attack.

The actions of Jinguji Budo and Mitsui Hisashi were beyond everyone's expectations. Although Rukawa Kaede on the other side did not know what Jinguji Budo and Mitsui Hisashi were planning, Rukawa Kaede, who had rich experience in competitions, also did the same.

He rushed forward immediately and cooperated with his teammates to put pressure on Green Wind High School.

The cooperation between the two Tsurumi brothers is indeed a tacit understanding.

But then again, when two people jointly control the ball, compared to one person controlling the ball, the possibility of making mistakes increases rapidly. If you are dealing with defensive players who do not have a tacit understanding or a defensive player who is not good enough, relying on the two people

With quick transmission, he can easily dribble the ball to close to a three-pointer.

But if the two Tsurumi brothers faced aces of Mitsui Hisashi and Rukawa Kaede's caliber at the same time, then the abilities of these two people would be somewhat dwarfed by comparison.

The Tsurumi brothers, who are only 175cm tall and weigh only 60+kg, are simply not good enough when faced with Mitsui Hisashi who is 192cm tall and Rukawa Kaede who is 187cm tall.

Under the pressure of Hisashi Mitsui, Seiji Tsurumi, who had just dribbled the ball across the center line, was forced to stop. He wanted to pass the ball to Keiji Tsurumi, but over there, Kaede Rukawa had already defended him, and even relied on

Due to his height and weight advantages, Tsurumi Keiji had no chance to connect with the ball.

Tsurumi Keiji also planned to run away from Rukawa Kaede's defense so that he could have a chance to catch the ball. However, under Rukawa Kaede's defense, he could not escape at all and had no chance to catch the ball.

Mike Okita, who was already approaching the three-point line, was already preparing to make an air cut towards the inside. At this time, he suddenly saw his teammates' advance stopped and immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly ran towards Tsurumi Seiji.

Tsurumi Seijikura, who stepped forward and was forced by Mitsui Hisashi with no way out, panicked and wanted to pass the ball out. However, as soon as the basketball was raised above his head, Mitsui Hisashi slapped it down.

"You're passing the ball, right? I've seen through it a long time ago!"

After completing the steal, Hisashi Mitsui picked up the basketball on the ground and rushed toward the frontcourt. The basketball was intercepted. The only players who were able to return to defense in time were the Tsurumi brothers and Mike Okita, who was preparing to respond.

On the Shohoku side, Mitsui Hisashi, Rukawa Kaede, and Jinguji Budo charged towards the frontcourt from three directions.

Hisashi Mitsui was holding the ball alone in the center, with Jinguji Budo and Kaede Rukawa guarding Mitsui Hisashi respectively, quickly approaching the Green Wind half.

Hisashi Mitsui was very fast, and when he was three points closer to Midori, Seiji Tsurumi who was chasing him had already been thrown away by him. Mike Okita, who was chasing Jinguji Budo, saw this, turned around, and rushed towards Hisashi Mitsui.

Soon, Hisashi Mitsui crossed the free throw line with the ball. After joining the ball with both hands, he took a step forward and grabbed the ball with both hands. He passed the ball in the direction of Jinguji Budo and passed the ball in the direction of Jinguji Budo, directly avoiding Mike who was trying to block him.

Okita, then took another step, passed Mike Okita, entered the basket, and scored a layup.

It can be said that it was a three-on-one frontcourt. Mike Okita was too wary of Jinguji Budo, which led to him being played by Mitsui Hisashi and unable to stop Shohoku's defensive counterattack.

"You idiot, why can't you even hold a ball!"

"Is it so difficult to bring the ball upfield?!"

Seiji Tsurumi, who was walking to the basket and ready to serve, suddenly heard a loud shout. Tetsuya Naito, who was returning to defense, was late. I don’t know what happened, but Tetsuya Naito suddenly became furious and aimed at Seiji Tsurumi.

scolded.

"What did you say?!"

"You are so awesome, you can do whatever you want!"

Although Tsurumi Seiji is not big, he has a big temper. He walked to the baseline with the ball and threw the ball directly to Tetsuya Naito. Naito also has a bad temper and a very tough character.

"I'll go, I'll go!" After getting the ball, Naito didn't waste any time. He turned around and prepared to drop the ball and rush forward. However, the moment the basketball fell, a red figure flashed in front of him.

Jinguji Budo actually did not return to the court. He directly caught Naito's distracted moment and completed the steal. He stepped directly to the basket, looked back at the moon, took off and dunked the ball, and poured the ball into the basket.

.

12:2.

Only two minutes before the start of the game, the score difference between the two teams had reached 10 points, and Xiangbei High School launched a wave of offense.

“Easy and relaxing~”

"Come on, don't go back to defend. Press the whole court and crush the green wind!"

After scoring the goal, Jinguji Budo looked relaxed and shouted to the Shohoku players. Hearing this, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Nango from the backcourt quickly ran towards the frontcourt, and Hisashi Mitsui who returned to the court.

He Rukawa Kaede had only run a few steps when he saw Jinguji Martial Arts steal and dunk in the frontcourt. At this time, he heard the instruction and turned around in a hurry.

In an instant, Xiangbei's defense directly pressed into the Green Wind half.

Naito, who made a mistake, originally wanted to blame Tsurumi Seiji for passing the ball without looking at the opponent, but Shohoku's defensive pressure made him speechless.

Compared to Tsurumi Seiji, he was even more unhappy with these people in Shohoku. With such defense, was he looking down on him?!

"Asshole, who can be stopped by such a defense?!"

Naito shouted loudly, bent down slightly, and ran quickly towards the frontcourt. At this time, Tsurumi Seiji also took the ball and walked to the baseline, ready to serve, but Mitsui Hisashi covered him directly, and the two

Although there was a lot of distance between the two, Seiji Tsurumi, who was more than ten centimeters shorter than Hisashi Mitsui, had difficulty sending the ball out for a while.

Suddenly, Seiji Tsurumi saw Tetsuya Naito, who was running rapidly towards the frontcourt. Naito was a rugby player, and running was already engraved in his bones. Hanamichi Sakuragi tried to block the opponent, but was directly rushed by the opponent.

The shot was fired, but the referee did not call it, and it was judged to be a reasonable collision.

Unable to force Naito to stop, Sakuragi could only fall behind the opponent, looking at the Green Wind baseline from time to time, paying close attention to whether the basketball was released.

"It's too far. Tsurumi's strength shouldn't be conveyed. And with his height, if he wants to pass the ball from Mitsui's head, the arc of the basketball throw must be raised."

"This way, the ball won't fly far."

"The biggest problem is probably Mike."

Budo glanced at Seiji Tsurumi running upfield from afar, then ignored him and followed Mike Okita closely.

"Pass the ball quickly! Pass the ball quickly!" Naito may have been used to playing rugby, but he shouted to Tsurumi Seiji while running. Seeing that the opponent was not able to play the ball for a long time, Naito became angry.

Seiji Tsurumi, who was outside the baseline, swayed left and right, and after a fake move, he hit the ball to the ground and passed it to Mike Okita.

"really!"

The basketball came towards Mike Okita. Jinguji Budo narrowed his eyes and rushed forward. The huge force directly hit Mike's body. The opponent staggered two steps to steady himself and took the ball in his hands.

But as soon as he got the basketball, Mitsui Hisashi's figure came up almost at the same time. Mike, who had just stood firm but had not yet grasped the ball, was double-teamed and lost the ball directly.

Hisashi Mitsui dribbled the ball closer to the inside. Although Mike tried to make up for the mistake, Hisashi Mitsui faked a shot and passed the ball directly to Rukawa Kaede who was making up for it. The latter caught the ball and immediately made a one-handed chop and continued to wreak havoc.

Green Wind High School’s basketball hoop.

14:2.

Xiangbei tasted the sweetness of the full-court press and did not leave when Lufeng served. They repeated their old tricks and pressed the defense to Lufeng's frontcourt.

"Hey, yeah."

"Green Wind is dying!"

"Their defenders can't break our defense!"

"That Huang Mao was killed as soon as Captain Mitsui and the martial arts seniors double-teamed him."

Katsumi Ichiro on the sidelines suddenly said with a smile. Looking at his team's defensive posture, he couldn't help but sigh for Green Wind.

"Why bother? There is such a big difference in strength. I must find fault for myself."

"Is it necessary to continue this practice match? In just two minutes, the point difference is already 12 points,"

Kiyota Nobunaga also said to himself with a hint of pride. While he was speaking, Tsurumi Seiji who was serving the ball accidentally made an inadvertent move, and the outgoing basketball was directly blocked by the quick-eyed Mitsui Hisashi.

Mitsui Hisashi's jumping is indeed average, but that's also a matter of comparison.

His height is not as good as Hisashi Mitsui's, and his wingspan is not as good as Hisashi Mitsui's. As for his jumping, Mitsui Hisashi can crush Seiji Tsurumi. It is definitely not easy for the opponent to hit the ball in front of Hisashi Mitsui.

Mitsui Hisashi made another steal and quickly reached the basket. He avoided the green wind center who came up to defend with a reverse layup and easily scored the ball.

The score difference reached 16 points.

Finally, Coach Dafeng on the sidelines couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly called a timeout.

"Beep——" After a long whistle, Green Wind High School was directly stopped by Xiangbei High School's frontcourt press.

Everyone in Xiangbei and the substitute players returned to the rest area and high-fived each other. Budo smiled and refused the towel handed over by his teammates. He just sipped his saliva and moistened his throat without drinking.

It's too short, it's really too short.

I haven't even broken a sweat yet, and the green wind has stopped.

The strength gap between the two teams is really too big. Green Wind High School, which has a weak back line, has no hope of victory. Even with the help of Mike Okita, Green Wind has no chance of coming back.

Jinguji Budo alone was able to hold down Mike Okita, but Green Wind's other ball-handlers simply couldn't get past the defense of Kaede Rukawa and Hisashi Mitsui.

Unless Green Wind comes out with a national star-level defender at this time to coordinate with Mike Okita's offense, the outcome of this game has already been determined.

But national-level star guards are not always available. Green Wind's financial strength is indeed very strong, but any top player with some goals will not choose Green Wind, a newly formed basketball team.

Looking at the entire Green Wind High School, there is only one commendable player, Mike Okita. As for Naito, although his talent is good, he is too young. In other words, if he has a chance to play in Green Wind, if he switches to another strong team, I am afraid that

You may not necessarily get a chance to play.

The players are of average quality, the team is newly formed, and there is no tacit understanding among the players.

Even if Coach Dafuan really has some good techniques and tactics, Lvfeng may not be able to implement them perfectly.

"Our strength in Xiangbei is indeed much stronger."

"The back line is really full of talents. If the opponent's back line is weaker, it may not be easy to carry the ball through half the court."

"For a team of Green Wind's level, I'm afraid the training effect it can provide to its players is very limited."

Coach Anzai touched his chin, thought for a moment, and decided to let it go. He waved to Jinguji Budo and Mitsui Hisashi, and after the two approached, he whispered in their ears:

"Give the Green Wind some game experience and use half-court man-to-man defense."

"Bu Dao, if you have figured out Mike Okita's ability, you can switch defenses with Mitsui and Rukawa Kaede."

"Let them also feel the strength of a four-star high school."
