Chapter 379 A way to divert attention!

Roan High School's senior center Aho Izumi successfully deceived the referee's whistle by making a strong shot from behind.

While scoring the goal, he also got a chance to take a free throw. Under the watchful eyes of the audience, Asio Izumi stood on the free throw line. After receiving the referee's serve, he dribbled a few times and shot directly.

Starting with the basketball, Asio Izumi lifted the ball to his chest. After a brief pause, he raised his arm and pressed his wrist to throw the ball. Although the rhythm of the entire series of shooting movements is different from that of ordinary players, overall, the shooting rhythm is

The action is quite smooth.

"Whoosh!"

With a soft sound, the basketball fell steadily into the net, successfully making a three-pointer.

Luo An's substitutes on the sidelines suddenly burst into cheers when they saw the basketball hit the net. There was also sparse applause from the stands.

Although Asio Izumi's 2+1 is beautiful, it is really not entertaining to watch. After all, he is much taller than his opponent. Being able to hit such a ball proves that

I have learned about my own abilities, but if I want to say that it’s amazing, it’s really not that impressive.

Isn't this a very common way of playing on the basketball court when tall players take advantage of their height?

But as the game progressed, Izumi Aso's personal characteristics began to slowly come into play.

Izumi Asio, who is over 210cm tall, is different from the traditional center. His position of receiving the ball is not limited to the three-point field under the basket. Sometimes, Izumi Asio can even reach the mid-range to receive the ball.

to get the ball, and then use his footwork to shake off the defender and get to the basket to score.

Five minutes into the first half of the game between Luo'an and Qiuyue High School, the score between the two teams reached 13:5. Luo'an High School successfully led the opponent by 8 points in this short five minutes.

Among them, Ahio Izumi scored 9 points alone and assumed the main offensive task of Luoan High School.

Moreover, Izumi Asio's goals are not concentrated in the position. In addition to the basket, there are also mid-range shots near the free throw line.

Demonstrated quite comprehensive offensive skills.

On the court, Luo'an High School was organizing an offense. Luo'an's defender advanced with the ball very slowly, entirely to adapt to Izumi Aso's running speed. When Luo'an's point guard entered the frontcourt with the ball,

, Izumi Asio also moved to the inside.

Akizuki High School has suffered some losses from Izumi Aso, so Akizuki High School has also made some adjustments in its defensive strategy.

Akizuki's power forward and center focused all their attention on Izumi Aso's body. The center pressed against Izumi Aso's back to prevent him from invading the basket, while the power forward wandered in the paint area.

In the middle, stand inside the free throw line and go around to defend.

The two insiders, one behind the other, intercepted the pass from Luoan High School and at the same time restricted Izumi Aho's range of action.

After Luoan's defender dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, he saw that Izumi Aso was being closely watched and quickly made a pick-and-roll gesture towards Izumi Aso.

After receiving the signal from his teammates, Izumi Aso quickly stepped out from the inside and helped his teammates set up a high pick-and-roll. With the help of Izumi Aso, the Luoan point guard quickly dropped the ball and broke through, rushing towards the inside of Qiuyue.

His breakthrough instantly attracted the attention of Akizuki's insiders. Akizuki High School's power forward, who was originally double-teaming Izumi Aho with the center, turned to Luo An's point guard to fill in.

At that moment, Luo An's point guard threw the ball behind him and passed it directly back to Izumi Asao.

At this time, after the high pick-and-roll, Asio Izumi did not go inside with his teammates. Instead, he took another step outside and stood directly outside the three-point line.

At this time, the basketball was in hand, and Izumi Asao raised his head and looked directly at the basket.

"Hey hey hey, isn't this guy going to shoot a three-pointer?"

"The center shoots three-pointers? Is this how Luo An's coach teaches his players to play?!"

"Is there any mistake? Who does he think he is? Is it Jinguji Martial Arts?!"

Izumi Asao's action instantly made the stands noisy. The audience watched Izumi Asao lift the ball and look at the basket. They were talking about it for a while, and the voices of doubts suddenly spread into the stadium.

"Shut up and watch my performance quietly!"

"Jinguji Martial Arts? Who is that person? Am I inferior to him?!"

Izumi Ashio muttered in his mouth, and in the next second, he shot a three-pointer directly. The basketball flew out of his hands and flew towards the basket.

"Whoosh!"

The next second, a crisp sound of the net shut down the discussions and questions in the stands. The audience who were still chatting one second opened their mouths in shock and looked at it in disbelief.

This scene before my eyes.

After scoring the goal, Izumi Aho waved his arms, turned around and returned to the field to defend. When he ran to the midline, he stopped, and then actually made a "silence" gesture towards the audience in the stands.

Wow————

Izumi Aso's wild movements immediately set off the audience.

"This kid! So crazy!"

"Arrogant!!"

"Who does he think he is?! He was lucky enough to score a goal and he pretended to do it? Jinguji Martial Arts is not as crazy as him!"

"Hey! Qiuyue High School, don't pretend to be dead, work harder for me!!!"

In the high school national competition, the composition of the audience watching the game is actually quite mixed. Except for students from some colleges and universities who support their own schools, most of the other audiences are actually the kind of "champion fans" who like whoever is stronger.

In this national competition, there are actually four teams with the most championship qualifications. Last year's champion, Reinan High School; the former overlord, Sanno Industrial; Shohoku High School, one of the "Kanagawa Double Stars"; and Fukuoka Prefecture.

The dominant overlord, Hakata Shoda Affiliated High School.

Luoan High School was not considered a strong contender for the championship.

To the spectators watching the game, Luoan High School is just an A-level team. And Luoan High School's Izumi Aho is just a taller center for a strong team.

But now, such an "ordinary" center actually made such a provocative move towards the audience. How could this not make the audience angry?

"This guy is so arrogant!"

"There are people who are more arrogant than me. This is something I didn't expect."

Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was sitting on the seat, saw Izumi Aso'o actually making a "silence" gesture towards the audience in the stands. After being stunned, he said in surprise.

Budo was also greatly surprised when he saw Izumi Aho's performance. He always thought that guys like Sakuragi Hanamichi were already very arrogant and out of tune. He didn't expect that this general from Luoan High School was actually braver than Sakuragi.

"You arrogant brat!" Mitsui Shou opened his mouth, but he just whispered disdainfully and did not give any more comments.

On the other side of the stands, the team members from Lingnan High School looked at each other in shock when they saw Izumi Axinan being so arrogant.

Coach Tian Gang put his hands on his chest, snorted coldly, looked cold, and said loudly to the players:

"Listen carefully!"

"After this game, Luoan will most likely advance. Then there will be our game against Jinshan Commercial.

"Don't hold anything back in the match against Jinshan. Fight hard and show off our Lingnan momentum!"

"If we meet Luo An in the game the day after tomorrow, we must teach that kid a lesson!"

"Let him know that arrogance requires arrogance!"

"Yuzumi, I'll leave this matter to you. Then keep an eye on him!"

Coach Taoka had a bad temper. At this time, he saw Izumi Asao on the court who was extremely unhappy and spoke. After hearing this, all the team members also responded in unison. Uozumi also looked like he was gearing up, watching the game.

His posture was also a little more serious.

At this time, the audience began to support Qiuyue High School almost unanimously, but the hard power of Qiuyue High School was not as strong as that of Luoan High School. Qiuyue's two insiders were constantly pulled out of the inside military training by Izumi Aso, and they were repeatedly

Lose points.

As if Izumi Aso was trying to prove his strength to the audience, he shot from time to time and flourished in multiple positions. There was no so-called offensive blind spot.

Therefore, amid the support of the entire audience, Qiuyue High School began to lose, and the score was widened by their opponents.

The audience who originally had some expectations for Qiuyue High School saw that Qiuyue's players were unable to teach Luo An's arrogant center a lesson, and immediately pointed the finger at Qiuyue.

On the court, Asio Izumi caught the ball under the basket. After a quick shoulder move, he half-turned and shot a hook shot. The basketball went directly over the defender's head and fell into the net.

As soon as Asao Izumi scored, the audience in the stands began to curse. However, this curse was not directed at Asao Izumi, but rather at Akizuki High School.

"Idiot! You should raise your hands! You won't interfere, will you? What did you hit?!"

"Trash, you can't even stop that guy, so you better stop playing!"

Qiuyue High School lost a point, and the audience in the stands were more excited than Qiuyue's substitute players. At this time, they actually expected Qiuyue to win the game more than Qiuyue's players, and slap Izumi Asio in the face.

But it is a pity that Qiuyue High School did not perform as expected due to the encouragement of the audience. The audience, whose expectations were not fulfilled, vented their anger towards Qiuyue High School, which made the players who were already under heavy pressure feel even more stressed.

With three minutes left before the end of the first half, Qiuyue's center finally couldn't stand the tremendous pressure and vented his emotions.

When Aho Izumi was attacking for a layup, Akizuki's center gave the opponent a flagrant foul and forcibly pulled Aho Izumi down to the ground in mid-air.

"Bang!" Izumi Aso's body hit the floor, making a muffled sound. After a brief silence, the audience actually applauded Qiuyue's center forward.

However, basketball cannot be won by venting emotions or flagrant fouls.

Izumi Asao was not angry after being pulled to the ground. With the help of his teammates, he quickly stood up, patted the dust on his butt, and glanced at his opponent contemptuously. Although he did not speak, his meaning was already obvious.

.

At the same time, the referee also awarded a flagrant foul to Qiuyue's center.

Luoan High School, which already had a huge lead, also got a chance to take a free throw. This made Qiuyue High School, which already had a slim chance of victory, even worse.

At the end of the first half, the score between the two teams reached 47:20, and the point difference was close to a terrifying 30 points.

In the second half, the performance of Akizuki High School players became even more out of shape, and Asao Izumi began his journey to score points.

As the final whistle sounded, Luoan High School won the game 98:34.

When the results of the game came out, the audience was even more scolded, criticizing Qiuyue High School as "waste". Before the game, no one would have thought that Luo An and Qiuyue, who were both in the A-level team, could actually play like this.

Such a disparate score.

The audience's anger towards Izumi Aso was entirely passed on to the players of Akizuki High School.

The Qiuyue players, who were already sad after losing the game, had to endure the "greetings" from the audience. Even some senior players with relatively high psychological quality finally couldn't hold it any longer and broke down and burst into tears.

"Qiuyue is really a disaster."

The Lingnan players had already passed through the player tunnel and entered the waiting area of ​​the stadium. They couldn't help but sigh as they watched the Qiuyue team wiping away tears and packing their things.

Coach Tagoka stood on the sidelines and watched for a while, waved to Shinomiya, took a basketball from Fukuda Yoshio's hand, and put it in the hands of Shinomiya who stepped forward. Then he patted Shinomiya.

shoulder and said softly:

"Tianye, go and divert the audience's attention."

"The young people at Qiuyue High School have been scolded enough."

"It's just a game, there's no need for this."

Although Qiuyue's players were not from Lingnan High School, coach Tian Gang couldn't bear it when he saw Qiuyue's players wiping away tears and packing their things. The foul language in the stands did not stop until the end of the game. It was really

It's a bit too much.

"Okay, coach."

Shinomiya took the basketball and responded with a smile.

Then he slowly walked towards the court with the ball.

"Hey this classmate"

"We need to clear the ground."

At this time, the cleaning staff of the conference were preparing to enter the venue to clean up the floor, and then they saw Shinomiya Entering the court with the ball. Just as he was about to call Shinomiya to stop, he saw Shinomiya walking to the three-point mark.

On the line, he threw the ball directly towards the backboard, and the next second, Shinomiya rushed out quickly.

"Bang!" The basketball hit the backboard and bounced back. Shinomiya Tanano had already crossed the free throw line at this moment, and jumped directly into the air one step away from the free throw line.

In mid-air, Shinomiya raised his arms and faced the basket to catch the ball. The next second after taking possession of the basketball, Shinomiya pulled the lever in the air, and the basketball he lifted actually sank to his crotch. As Shinomiya glided closer to the basket,

The basketball that was pulled down was lifted up again, and then poured directly into the basket.

“Bang!!!”

The self-thrown and self-grabbed alley-oop dunk immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the audience.

After falling back to the ground, Shinomiya bent over, grabbed the ball in his hands, then smiled apologetically at the cleaning staff, walked out of the court, and returned to coach Taoka.

When the audience watched Shinomiya's slam dunk, they simply forgot to continue scolding Akizuki High School. After a brief silence, amazing cheers erupted from the stands.

"Idiot Luo An, he went crazy after winning against a rubbish team. Did you forget that you are in the same group as Lingnan High School?!"

"Hey!! Lingnan, win this game quickly, teach Luo An a lesson in the next game!"

"Shinomiya Tōno, come on! Defeat that arrogant boy in Luo An!"

After just performing a slam dunk, the entire audience instantly became supporters of Lingnan High School, cheering endlessly.
