Chapter 389 Strong defense, Lingnan’s countermeasures!

Under Sakuragi Hanamichi's defense, Shinomiya easily completed a layup and sent the ball into the basket. Looking at the sturdy sophomore from Reinan High School in front of him, Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes not only did not reveal anger, but instead

There is a deep longing for it.

This kind of powerful and domineering layup is what Sakuragi Hanamichi has always longed for.

"What a layup!"

"No matter how many times I see a guy like Shinomiya Tōno, I will always be shocked."

"If I could have such an ability."

Sakuragi Hanamichi suddenly lost his focus, and his mind began to imagine the scene when he had this ability. In his mind, Rukawa Kaede and Kiyota Nobunaga had become local chickens and dogs.

He was knocked to the ground during his heroic layup, and then he looked up at him blankly.

Thinking of this, Sakuragi Hanamichi's face was filled with a bright smile.

"Is this kid thinking about spring during the competition?"

"It's really hard for this martial arts guy to lead such a first grade class!"

After Shinomiya landed, he raised his eyes and looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi, only to find that the red-haired boy who had penetrated his defense was actually smiling. Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes had been bent into crescent moons.

Like, and laughed "hehehehe" from time to time.

Seeing this scene, Shinomiya Tano scratched his hair and was a little confused.

"Hahahahaha!"

"I am indeed a genius!"

Just when he turned around to return to the field to defend, Sakuragi Hanamichi's loud laughter suddenly came from behind, which scared him.

Turning his head, he happened to see Sakuragi Hanamichi looking at him with a burning look, which made Shinomiya Tōno couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

"Why is this idiot looking at me like that?! Do you want to infect me with his stupidity?"

"Xiangbei really has sinister intentions!"

Shinomiya Tano murmured in his heart, quickened his pace, and fled away from Sakuragi.

"Hey, Sakuragi, let's start the attack!"

Mitsui Hisashi was about to attack, but when he saw Sakuragi Hanamichi standing there stupidly until the Lingnan team members started to return to defense, he couldn't help but remind him.

Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was brought back to reality by Hisashi Mitsui, nodded towards Hisashi Mitsui, and then quickly rushed towards the frontcourt.

Jinguji Budo did not notice the brief emotional exchange between Sakuragi Hanamichi and Shinomiya Tanoh at this moment. Now, he entered the frontcourt early, preparing to cooperate with his teammates in attacking.

Soon, Rukawa Kaede crossed the center line with the ball. Before Rukawa Kaede crossed the center line with the ball, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Akagi Takenori entered the inside. But this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi's movement changed.

It's different.

Generally speaking, Shohoku High School runs a triangle offensive tactical formation on the offensive end.

Takenori Akagi entered the basket and stood on the right side of the paint area, always ready to catch the ball and attack. Mitsui Hisara was located in the right corner, giving Budo passing options while containing Sendō's defense. The main attacker Jinguji

Budo is used to standing in the paint area outside the three-point line, while Rukawa Kaede, who enters with the ball, will be close to the top of the key.

After observing the Lingnan defense line, choose to break through and pass the ball yourself.

Although Sakuragi Hanamichi, the power forward, plays a "free man" role, most of the time, Sakuragi needs to prepare to grab rebounds under the basket, or pull up to the high post to cover Rukawa Kaede and assist Rukawa Kaede.

breakthrough.

But now, Sakuragi Hanamichi quickly left the inside line and actually went to the mid-range corner position on the left side.

In this position, the change of direction compressed Rukawa Kaede's display space after breaking through, and also completely gave up the basket to Lingnan.

Facing Sakuragi in this position, Hanagata Toru only needs to raise his position slightly to prevent Sakuragi's shot. At the same time, once a rebound occurs, Hanagata can enter the basket earlier than Sakuragi Hanamichi and grab the rebound.

.

Generally speaking, unless Sakuragi Hanamichi has a very strong offensive ability with the ball, his position will have no effect on the team.

When Rukawa Kaede saw Sakuragi's position, he cursed "big idiot" in his heart, then turned his head to look at Jinguji Budo on the right, and quickly passed the ball out.

Sakuragi's position made his breakthrough route much smaller. Rukawa Kaede did not try and quickly gave the ball to Jinguji Budo

Although Sakuragi Hanamichi's position is not conducive to strong rebounding and Rukawa Kaede, a player with the ball at the top of the arc, to break through, it is still somewhat effective for Jinguji Budo in the corner position on the other side.

Because one of the two Lingnan players on the inside was pulled out.

Even if Budo gives the ball to Takenori Akagi, Akagi will also be able to get a one-on-one opportunity under the basket.

but

Compared to Akagi fighting Uozumi alone, Jinguji Budo still trusts his own strength more!

Even if the opponent is Shinomiya Tōno.

"Snapped!"

Starting with the basketball, Jinguji Budo quickly swept the ball frame, keeping his upper body straight. The next second, his center of gravity dropped sharply, and he quickly dropped the ball and changed direction to break through. Jinguji Budo's movements did not completely deceive Shinomiya Tanano.

In an instant, Shinomiya Tano immediately followed suit.

As soon as Jinguji Martial Arts stepped onto the three-point line, Shinomiya's pursuit was already here. His terrifying athletic ability was not inferior to Jinguji Martial Arts.

"As fast as ever."

"Facing this kind of opponent, simply relying on explosive power and speed won't work."

Martial Arts secretly thought, the moment his body hit the opponent, he suddenly stopped and changed direction. Just when Shinomiya Tano thought that Jinguji Martial Arts would continue to break through after changing direction, he suddenly saw Jinguji Martial Arts in front of him.

After changing direction, he just moved a bit, adjusted his posture, and then stepped back diagonally to hit the ball.

He raised his eyes and looked at the basket.

"Step back!"

"Going for a jump shot!"

"No, this step-back action is different, there is no ball in the hand!"

In an instant, Shinomiya Tano had adjusted his posture and rushed towards Jinguji Martial Arts with one lunge. At the same time, he raised his hands high and slightly bent his knees to prepare to jump to block the shot.

But just when Shinomiya Tanos caught Jinguji Budo's hand, he suddenly discovered that Jinguji Budo's retreat did not include a ball at all.

This also means

Sure enough, at the moment when Shinomiya Tano raised his center of gravity, Jinguji Budo accelerated again after the pause, directly passed Shinomiya Tōno and rushed towards the inside line.

Shinomiya Tōno, who readjusted his posture to pursue, was already pulled back two positions by Jinguji Budo.

"Ohhh! Breakthrough!"

"What an amazing breakthrough, what is that?! Did you step back and then pray to Buddha? No walking?"

"Idiot, when I hit the ball and retreated, I didn't hit the ball at all. How could it be a walking move?"

In the stands, the audience exclaimed when they saw Jinguji Martial Arts getting rid of Shinomiya Tanano. It is rare for a person to break through Shinomiya Tanano's defense head-on. Such a scene is rare.

After the breakthrough, Jinguji's martial arts speed quickly increased to the maximum, and in the blink of an eye, martial arts had entered the paint area.

Facing Uozumi's defense, Jinguji Budo was not afraid at all. After combining the ball, he directly grabbed the ball with one hand, jumped up, and glided rapidly towards the basket. It seemed that he completely ignored the defense.

Jun Uozumi, trying to dunk?!

"hateful!"

"Don't underestimate me!"

A fierce light flashed in Jun Uozumi's eyes, and he wanted to take off to block the shot, but Jinguji Budō's speed was too fast. As soon as Uozumi Jun's feet left the ground, Jinguji Budō's body had already hit him.

The huge force on his body forced Yuzhu back to the ground. Under such circumstances, Yuzhu had no way to use his bounce.

At the same time, there was a loud "bang" above Jun Uozumi's head, and the basketball was directly chopped into the net by Jinguji Budo.

"It's buckled!"

"The front partition is covered with monster fish?!"

“ohhhh!!!”

As Jinguji Budo scored a slam dunk, the audience in the stands screamed again, and a few warm cheers echoed throughout the venue.

Jinguji Budo passed Shinomiya's defense and then went directly to the basket for a dunk that was too brutal. The ferocious attack style was completely different from the previous Jinguji Budo.

Not only were the spectators watching the game stunned, but even the players from Shohoku were staring blankly at Jinguji Budo who caught the basket. After the audience burst into cheers, the players turned around one by one.

When God came, I felt a burning sensation in my chest.

Jinguji Budo's slam dunk not only aroused the audience's enthusiasm for watching the game, but also pushed the morale of the Shohoku players to the peak.

"This guy" Shinomiya Tōno said as he watched Jinguji Martial Arts fall back to the ground, there was no surprise between his brows.

He has already understood the ability of Jinguji Martial Arts. If this kind of ball is hit by someone else, he will indeed be surprised, but if it is hit by Jinguji Martial Arts, there is nothing to be surprised about.

Already.

Jinguji Budo has never been a pure shooter who only shoots from the outside.

"Okay, let's start returning to defense!"

Jinguji Budo turned around without any provocation or any violent celebration. He just turned around and spoke loudly to his teammates in a calm tone.

But just such a plain word made all the members of the Shohoku team respond, and even the most "boring" Rukawa Kaede whispered "Okay".

The Xiangbei players retreated toward the backcourt, leaving the Lingnan players behind.

Uozumi's face was a little dark at this time. He couldn't accept being blocked by Jinguji Martial Arts for a while. Uozumi was convinced of Jinguji Martial Arts' ability, but he was just dissatisfied with his own performance.

He failed to grasp the opponent's traveling speed, failed to grasp the timing of taking off, and failed to fully utilize his own jumping and power. What Yuzhu was upset about was actually his own performance.

"Yuzumi, don't worry, you will have experience next time."

Sendō smiled and comforted Uozumi, but after he finished speaking, Shinomiya Tōno and Uozumi both looked at Sendō.

It was only then that Xiandao realized that there was something wrong with his words.

"Haha~ don't care, don't care."

"Next time, Tian Tian will guard against Jinguji Martial Arts."

However, as soon as he finished speaking the remedial words, Shinomiya glanced at Xiandao speechlessly, patted Uozumi's arm, and walked towards the front court.

Sendō didn't feel embarrassed at all. He spread his hands towards Uozumi and followed Shinomiya Tōno's footsteps towards the frontcourt.

"Is this guy Sendao an idiot?!"

Uozumi looked at Shinomiya Tendo who was leaving, and could vaguely feel a very low air pressure from Shinomiya Tendo's body.

It was obvious that although Shinomiya Tano didn't say anything, he must have been quite angry in his heart at this time.

Xiandao, who was following Shinomiya Tōdō, was obviously aware of the terrifying air pressure emanating from Shinomiya Tōdō's body, but Xiandao was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he still had a faint smile on his face, not caring about it.

Between the alternation of offense and defense, all the players from Lingnan High School have moved into the frontcourt, which is different from the horn-attacking position of Xiangbei High School.

The players from Lingnan High School are basically concentrated in the left half.

Uozumi and Hanagata guarded the basket, while Sendō, who entered the frontcourt, went directly to the left corner, and Fujima, who entered the frontcourt, advanced towards the top of the arc.

In the entire right half of the Shohoku side, due to Lingnan's offensive formation, almost all defensive forces were concentrated on the left side. Only one person, Jinguji Budo, was left responsible for guarding Shinomiya Tano.

"Are your teammates all pulling away to prepare for singles?!"

"The competition has just begun. Why are you so anxious to show off your muscles?"

Budao looked at Shinomiya Tano sitting in front of him, and suddenly whispered. Hearing this, Shinomiya Tano also smiled and replied: "Of course, if I don't show off my muscles, I will

It’s something to look down upon.”

As he spoke, Shinomiya's body leaned directly against Jinguji Martial Arts, facing the basket sideways, and raised his right arm. While he was doing these actions, the muscles in his back were completely tightened, and he actually successfully pushed Jinguji Martial Arts

Force back.

"!"

The powerful force made Budo frown. At the same time, the basketball had already flown out of Shinomiya's hand. Shinomiya took the ball and quickly broke through. When Jinguji Budo chased him, he was actually very fast.

Dribbling and changing hands, without slowing down and changing direction, he directly passed the Jinguji Budo defense line.

"You can change direction at this speed! Is this guy so outrageous?!"

Budou turned his head and happened to see Shinomiya take off the ball after successfully changing direction, and directly shot a long shot from a high position.

It seems that Shinomiya can't really change direction without slowing down like Iverson. When he completes the change of direction, his dribbling rhythm is no longer good, and he needs to combine the ball to stabilize the basketball and posture.

However, a person like Iverson can easily change directions while maintaining high speed. His speed and his ability to combine man and ball cannot be matched by Shinomiya's current ability.

But even so, changing direction while traveling at high speed is already terrifying, and this offensive ability is also very difficult to guard against.

"Whoa!"

The basketball flew directly over Wu Dao's head and hit the net.

After scoring the goal, Shinomiya looked blank, as if he had done something trivial, and then turned back to defend.

"Clean and neat, the ultimate physical fitness creates the ultimate simple style of play."

"Completely different from Wu, but just as powerful a player!"

"Besides Wu, there are other players like this!"

"if."

In the stands, Coach Smith watched this scene on the court, clenching his fists and eyes shining.

He seems to have seen a brand new future for Oak Hill College!
