Chapter 387: Their respective performances, the confrontation between the strongest and the strongest!

After the whistle blows, the referee kicks off the ball.

In the semi-finals of the national competition, the match between Xiangbei High School and Lingnan High School has officially begun.

As the basketball entered the air, Uozumi and Akagi Takenori jumped up almost at the same time, reaching out to hit the basketball. Although there was a difference in height between the two, Akagi Takenori's jumping power was stronger than Uozumi's.

Some, so the palms of the two of them hit the basketball almost at the same time.

"Snapped!!"

Two big hands, one on the left and one on the right, slapped the basketball hard. Under the influence of these two huge forces, the basketball actually deformed slightly, and then rolled down sideways, without flying towards either side's backcourt.

go.

In the competition for the jump ball, Takenori Akagi and Jun Uozumi were evenly matched, with not much of a gap.

“ohhhh!!!”

"That's awesome! There's no winner with the jump ball!"

"Hurry up and grab the ball!"

The audience in the stands screamed when they saw this scene. Coach Tianoka on the sidelines saw the basketball falling to the side and hurriedly reminded the players on the court.

In fact, Coach Taoka didn't need to say anything at all, Xiandao had already rushed towards the basketball quickly.

In today's game, Sendō Akira's opponent is third-year Hisashi Mitsui. The two are very similar in height and weight, but in terms of athletic ability and performance, Sendō is stronger than third-year Hisashi Mitsui.

A lot.

"Bang!" Sendō, who jumped out first, was one position ahead of Hisashi Mitsui, and got the ball in his hands first. After the basketball was in hand, Sendō didn't stick to the ball, and directly passed the ball to Fujima Kenji in the backcourt.

in hands.

The basketball fell into Fujima's hands. Realizing that they had no chance, the Shohoku players did not continue to struggle with the opponent in the midfield. They quickly retreated to their own half and positioned themselves on defense.

Facing the familiar old rival Lingnan High School, Xiangbei adopted a familiar man-to-man defense. Coach Anxi did not choose a zone defense. His idea was to use man-to-man defense first to test the offensive bias of Lingnan High School, and at the same time, through

This kind of partial one-on-one defense allows the players in Xiangbei to quickly enter the game state.

Coach Anzai is very familiar with his players. Whether they are seniors Mitsui Hisashi, Akagi, or junior Sakuragi and others, each of these players from Shohoku High School is very confident and proud. Such players, on the contrary, are

Only one-on-one defense can fully stimulate players' enthusiasm for the game.

In the court, Kenji Fujima, who got the jump ball, raised a finger and shouted "play steadily" while carrying the ball and slowly advancing towards the Shohoku half.

Unlike the opponents Lingnan High School has faced before, Shohoku High School is not the kind of team that can win just by playing casually.

Fujima must handle every ball well, because every ball may be the key 2 points in the final stage!

"Pick and roll!"

Dribbling the ball close to the three-point line, Shohoku defender Rukawa Kaede quickly moved up. Rukawa Kaede's stern eyes under his bangs were fixed on the basketball in Fujima's hand, and he lowered his waist slightly, following the opponent's dribbling.

Rhythm, adjust your position.

"A first grader at Shohoku High School?"

"The defense looks strong."

"It's very stressful."

After encountering Kaede Rukawa's defense, Kenji Fujima subconsciously changed his dribbling posture from high dribbling to low dribbling. He felt a strong threat from Rukawa Kaede.

After holding the ball and dribbling on the spot for two seconds, Toru Hanagata on the inside quickly rose to a high position, stood behind Rukawa Kaede, and made a pick-and-roll out of Rukawa Kaede's sight. The quality of the pick-and-roll was quite excellent.

"Rukawa Kaede, change defense!"

At the same time that Hanagata's position was settled, Kenji Fujima had already made a move. After a large change of direction in front of his body, he quickly broke through in the direction of Hanagata's pick-and-roll. And at the moment when Rukawa Kaede turned around to pursue, Sakuragi Hanamichi

The loud shouts rang in Rukawa Kaede's ears.

Turning his head, Rukawa Kaede took a step forward and was forced to stop because right in front of him was a flower-shaped "human wall".

However, Sakuragi's reminder came just in time. Rukawa Kaede didn't think much about it after hearing those words. The next moment he stopped, he dodged directly in front of Hanagata. While completing the defense change, he also intercepted Fujima and Hanagata.

passing route between.

Although he is only a freshman in high school, Rukawa Kaede's defensive instincts are very keen.

Fujima Kenji, who broke through Rukawa Kaede, was soon met by Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was defending. When the tall Sakuragi raised his arms, the pressure he felt on him was even stronger than what Rukawa Kaede had given him just now.

There was an emergency stop and the basketball was switched to the right hand. Fujima paused and looked up at the basket.

His actions aroused Sakuragi's alertness, and the focus of defense also increased. But at this moment, Fujima quickly changed direction, shortened his body, and broke through directly to his left side. He was so fast that

In the eyes of the audience, Fujima's body flashed and he was already level with Sakuragi.

"Oh!!! Breakthrough, worthy of Fujima Kenji!"

"No, not yet!"

Fujima's breakthrough speed is indeed very fast, and his breakthrough timing is also very good, but Sakuragi Hanamichi's physical fitness cannot be speculated using common sense.

If it were someone else, it would be impossible to catch up with Fujima with this high-gravity defensive method, but Sakuragi Hanamichi is not an ordinary person!

He is a genius in the true sense!

"Bang!" Sakuragi's pursuit came very fast. Fujima, who was rushing forward, suddenly saw a figure jumping out from behind. The next second, his body hit Sakuragi's solid chest.

Sakuragi raised one hand flat and the other high, and he actually followed Fujima's breakthrough in this posture.

Against Sakuragi's body, Fujima Kenji had no advantage at all, and was forcefully forced to stop by Sakuragi Hanamichi. However, Fujima did not dare to stop the ball in this position, and jumped forward directly. When he was in mid-air, he

He also looked behind him, preparing to pass the ball to Hanata.

However, the moment Fujima turned his head and looked at Hanagata, he realized that Hanagata had no room to catch the ball at all, so he could only focus on Shinomiya Nogo who was further away.

"field!"

Fujima grabbed the ball with both hands and threw the ball toward the three-point line.

Fujima's passing force is very strong, and the arc of the pass is also quite high. In the eyes of others, Fujima's legend is obviously a desperate struggle after being forced into a desperate situation. This pass is a mistake!

However, Shinomiya Tanano, who was standing on the outside at this time, saw the super high pass but his expression remained unchanged. He touched Jinguji Budo's chest with his right hand, quickly retreated to the sideline, and when the basketball fell, he jumped high

Then, he actually caught this "mistake" pass.

The height of Shinomiya's jump was definitely more than one meter. At this time, reporters near Shinomiya's catching position only felt that the lights on their heads dimmed. When they looked up, a tall young man had already jumped with one hand.

He caught the ball in his hands, then quickly put it in his arms and dropped it back to the ground.

"Well done, Fujima."

When Shinomiya landed, his feet had just stepped on the floor inside the sideline. Shinomiya got the basketball with a smile on his face, and after a compliment with a smile, he slowly took the ball towards the three-point line.

"As expected of you, you have caught all these balls."

"I should have put some defensive pressure on you just now, so that you wouldn't be able to catch it."

Jinguji Budo saw Shinomiya Dino slowly dribbling the ball closer to the three-point line, he also smiled and complimented casually.

"This kind of false praise is unnecessary."

"What does this level mean to you?"

Shinomiya Tano was not in a hurry to attack. He looked at the 20 seconds of attack time left out of the corner of his eye and replied calmly.

"It's still the same!"

"Shinomiya Tōno, we haven't played against each other for a while, right?"

"Come here, I want to see if I can stop you now!"

Jinguji Budo lowered his center of gravity slightly and raised his fingers towards Shinomiya Tanano. Seeing this, Shinomiya Tanoda's eyes were full of fighting spirit and he quickly accelerated the rhythm of dribbling.

"You absolutely can't guard against me!"

"I'm much better than when I competed in the county competition!"

As Shinomiya Tanō spoke, he quickly dropped the ball to accelerate the breakthrough. His movements were clean and neat, without any sloppiness. The simple acceleration of the breakthrough made Jinguji Martial Arts feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.

"Coming!" Budo's pupils shrank, and he quickly followed up sideways, his chest directly hitting Shinomiya's side. The huge force made Jinguji Budo's breath stagnant.

Even he now can't withstand that familiar terrifying power!

"How can this guy be so powerful!"

"My strength has obviously improved a lot, but I still can't stop it?!"

Budo was astonished by the terrifying power Shinomiya showed at this time. They were all high school students, and he had specially built up his muscles during his stay in the United States, in order to strengthen his resistance.

But even so, when he faced the Shinomiya field again, Jinguji Martial Arts still felt that it was powerless.

It’s hard to imagine how a yellow person could have such terrifying power in high school. Because normally, the physical maturity of yellow people is slower than that of blacks and whites.

But Shinomiya's physical fitness is not like that of a yellow man at all. This kind of terrifying physical talent can be described as "top-notch" even among black players.

Jinguji Martial Arts was pushed back a step by Shinomiya Tano's huge force, directly revealing a flaw.

And Shinomiya Tanano, who relied on confrontation to gain an opening, also looked slightly startled and a little surprised. His breakthrough had fully unleashed his power. Under such circumstances, Jinguji Budo, who was passively sliding to pursue defense, actually just retreated.

Just one step?!

During the team's practice match, Xiandao's physique can directly hit the ground!

"really!"

"Jinguji Martial Arts, you are indeed the most worthy opponent for me to defeat!"

The surprise on Shinomiya's face was fleeting. In the next second, he accelerated and charged forward. However, it was not enough to break through Jinguji Budo's defense. The martial arts who took a step back quickly adjusted their posture.

When Shinomiya just crossed the three-point line, he followed the opponent directly and covered Shinomiya's face with one hand.

Shinomiya, who was marching quickly, seemed to have expected it. He was holding the basketball in his right hand. During the march, a bad luck disguised himself. After changing the direction of the breakthrough, Shinomiya slapped the basketball with his left hand, and then it was one meter inside the three-point line.

, directly grabbed the basketball with his left hand and quickly headed toward the basket.

Combine the ball with one hand and hit the basket directly.

Shinomiya's breakthrough was beyond Budo's expectations. He was a few minutes faster when he put the ball together with one hand, directly crossing the free throw line and leaping high.

At this time, only Takenori Akagi could defend the basket, but Akagi had just taken two steps forward, and Shinomiya, who grabbed the ball with his left hand, reached the highest point, hooked the ball and sent it to the basket.

"Whoosh!"

As a soft sound sounded behind Takenori Akagi, the audience in the stands suddenly burst into amazing cheers.

Shinomiya Tano fell back to the ground with an indifferent expression, turned around, looked at Jinguji Martial Arts and said with a smile:

"That little light's pick-up shot is pretty good, it's very useful."

After saying that, Shinomiya Tano ran towards his own half. But Budo looked at Shinomiya Tōno who was leaving, and after a brief daze, a fiery fighting spirit burst out in his eyes.

"Interesting! Really interesting!"

"Not only is Zebei's lob shot perfectly replicated, but he also uses his weak side hand."

"This guy's talent is far more terrifying than Eiji Zebei's!"

"Haha, as expected, such an opponent is really interesting!"

Jinguji Martial Arts clenched his fists, and goosebumps appeared on his body. The opponent's strong strength made him feel a long-lost tension.

"Rukawa Kaede, give me the ball!"

Jinguji Budo turned around and said to Rukawa Kaede, his face full of excitement.

At this time, Rukawa Kaede had just received a pass from Akagi in the backcourt. Hearing Budao's words, he raised his head and looked towards Budao.

Seeing Wu Dao's expression at this time, Rukawa Kaede was also stunned. This was the first time he saw such an expression on Wu Dao's face.

As for the request of martial arts, Rukawa Kaede had no way to refuse.

After quickly dribbling the ball into the frontcourt, Rukawa Kaede quickly passed the ball to the hands of Jinguji Budo.

Budō, who was catching the ball with both hands, was only one meter away from the three-point line. When he caught the ball, Shinomiya came up quickly, not wanting to give Budō any space to dribble the ball.

These two people have not fought each other once or twice. Shinomiya Tano also knows the offensive methods of martial arts very well. He will not let martial arts have enough space to adjust their posture and rhythm!

However, Shinomiya's body had just reached Jinguji Budo. Jinguji Budō took the ball and dropped the ball directly with his back. After dribbling the ball with his back to the basket, Jinguji Budō quickly turned around and faced the basket and rushed forward. After one step, he quickly

Pull the ball back, and then there is a pause.

The moment Shinomiya Tōno raised his center of gravity, Jinguji Martial Arts lowered his center of gravity again and advanced forward.

Jinguji Budo was very fast. By the time Shinomiya turned around to pursue Jinguji Budo, Budo had already broken into the three-point line by more than two meters.

Facing Shinomiya Tōno who was catching up, Jinguji Budō was not afraid at all. He took the initiative to seek physical confrontation. The next second he bumped into Shinomiya Tōdō's chest sideways, Jinguji Budō stepped back and then directly stepped back.

Jump shot from behind.

The basketball flew directly over Shinomiya's head and headed towards the basket.

"whispering sound!"

"This guy is still so difficult!"

Shinomiya looked up at the basketball and couldn't help but curse when he saw the arc of the basketball.

"Ordinary opponents are simply not worthy of letting me use a step-back jumper."

"No matter who it is, it is impossible to stop my attack!"

Wu Dao looked at the basketball in the air. After landing, he turned around and started running back. The next second he turned around, the basketball went directly into the net with a crisp sound.

"Whoosh!"
