Chapter 55 Basketball is not played alone! (2-in-1)

Shinomiya's self-throw and arm-length dunk pushed the atmosphere of the venue to a climax. Overwhelming cheers sent Shinomiya back to his rest area.

His powerful dunk even stunned the referees who were preparing for the pre-match matters on the sidelines. It was not until Shinomiya returned to his team that the referees looked at each other and exclaimed:

"Having judged so many junior high school games, I haven't seen many junior high school students who can dunk."

"This is the first time I've seen a dunk like this!"

The referee who spoke was transferred from another county and had never seen a game at the No. 1 Middle School Affiliated to Dongda University before.

"I think the scale of this game can be appropriately enlarged. With such players, fierce confrontation is inevitable."

"Let these junior high school students play as hard as they can and not have any regrets in the national competition."

A middle-aged man sitting in the referee's seat waved to the other referees, looked at the Wushi Middle School players with a slightly sympathetic look, and said.

Although I don’t know what the other players of the No. 1 Middle School Affiliated to Dongda University are like, but his long career as a referee has given this referee a very bright vision.

The No. 9 who just dunked at Tokyo University, even an experienced referee like him was secretly stunned. Those little guys from Kanagawa Prefecture must have been frightened.

The referees glanced at the Takeishi players tacitly. They sympathized with Takeishi Middle School. They encountered such a monster in the first game of the national competition. This game may leave an indelible shadow on them. The referee can

The effort they made was to relax some penalty standards. Otherwise, Wu Shi's players might have been sent off before they even finished the game.

Against players whose physical fitness far exceeds his own, aggressive defensive actions are unavoidable.

"How could we win against such a monster?!"

As expected, some of the unstable first-year students in the Takeishi Middle School team let out painful wails. The main purpose of Shinomiya's slam dunk was not to boost the morale of the players from the No. 1 Middle School Affiliated to the University of Tokyo.

The opponent's main purpose is to undermine the confidence of Takeshi's players.

Obviously, the opponent's goal was achieved. Takeishi's military morale was in turmoil. The game hadn't even started yet, and everyone began to fear the battle.

"Hey! What did you say?"

"Why can't we win?!"

"As long as a genius like me is here, there is no enemy that cannot be defeated!"

"Even if you are a substitute, please cheer me up!"

The first grader's words obviously aroused strong dissatisfaction with Hisashi Mitsui. Although he was also frightened by the strength of the other party, the fighting spirit in Mitsui Shou's heart was not diminished at all. In Mitsui Shou's knowledge, no one was

He can't defeat it.

At this time, Jinguji Budo also took a big sip of wolfberry and ginseng tea with a sullen face, then silently closed the lid of the cup, put it aside, stood up, and began to stretch carefully.

He sensed a strong sense of crisis. The pressure that No. 9 had just dunked on him was much stronger than the pressure that Xiandao brought to him at that time. At the very least, it was absolutely impossible for Xiandao to finish that person at this stage.

Same slam dunk.

The opponent is probably a top ace in the third grade of junior high school. Judging from the difficulty of slam dunk alone, the opponent's jumping is probably comparable to Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi who just entered high school in the original work.

Budo, who was stretching silently on the side, obviously did not attract the attention of the team members. They were all surrounding Mitsui Hisashi, listening to Mitsui Hisashi's proud words and soothing their shaky confidence.

Only Masayoshi Anxi noticed the silent martial arts, and a smile finally appeared on his gloomy face.

"There is no chance, it just depends on how you seize it!"

"No matter how powerful the opponent is, he is just a junior high school student!"

Anxi Zhengyi said to himself silently in his heart, and then clapped his hands to attract the attention of the team members.

"Everyone is starting to do preparatory activities, Fujii, leading the team members into the venue to warm up."

"Don't think too much now. You'll only know how good you are when you get on the court."

"If you already think that you have lost in your heart, then there is no possibility of victory!"

"Go warm up!"

Masayoshi Anzai said comforting words. Although he didn't know which ones were really useful, the starting players finally walked onto the court and started to warm up. Budo followed the team at the back, his expression relaxed, and there was no trace of the previous one.

He was solemn and seemed to have adjusted his mentality.

Hisashi Mitsui still looks like he is the best in the world, with a face full of confidence. During the warm-up exercise, he shot three-pointers one after another, and each one hit the net. It seems that Hisashi Mitsui feels quite good today.

On the other side of the court, several players from the No. 1 Middle School Affiliated to Dongda University also entered the court and began to warm up. It was during the warm-up phase of the two teams that the spectators in the stands calmed down a little, and the noise they made was much quieter.

In such a relatively quiet environment, the warm-up time passed by every minute.

Soon, the warm-up was over, and the referee walked to the center circle and blew the whistle. The players from both teams also returned to the rest area to listen to the coach's arrangements for the last time before the game started.

"Mitsui, this game revolves around you."

"If the No. 9 on the opposite side plays as a striker, you will mainly focus on shooting and scoring, and you will have less energy to go inside."

"If the opponent pulls outside to defend you, find an opportunity to pass the ball to Budao and let him score points."

"There is only one person with good height and condition on the other side. The advantage of martial arts is still huge."

"On the offensive end, other players mainly assist in pick-and-rolls and compete for rebounds."

"As for defense, it's very simple. Pile them all inside and don't let that person have a chance to enter the penalty area."

"Martial Arts, you go and mark No. 9. Although you don't know how that person shoots, don't let him shoot too casually."

Masayoshi Anzai put his left hand around Mitsui Hisashi's shoulder and his right hand around Budo's shoulder, bending down to give instructions to everyone.

"Wushi!"

"Must win!"

Amidst the chants of the players, everyone from Takeishi Middle School entered the stadium. At the same time, everyone from the No. 1 Middle School Affiliated to Dongda University also entered the stadium, and the No. 9 that everyone was paying attention to, Shinomiya Tano, walked directly into

Center circle.

"Center?" Anxi Zhengyi's expression condensed and he murmured.

But the moment the opponent entered the center circle, there was a "ding" in Wu Dao's mind. The system prompt that had been silent for an unknown length of time rang again today.

"Shinomiya Tōno, height 184cm, weight 77kg, strength: junior high school S level, agility: junior high school A+ level, physical coordination: A++ level."

"Destiny: Heaven's gift of genius, invincible appearance."

The system interface appeared in front of Martial Arts, with information about No. 9 on it. Seeing this name, Martial Arts' pupils shrank suddenly, and then his eyes fell on the destiny column. There were only two entries in Shinomiya's destiny column.

, but these two entries are colorful that martial arts have never seen before, and there is a dense color around the entries.

Seeing this, Budo silently put away the entry panel, walked to the center circle, and pulled the corner of Masao Fujii's clothes who was about to jump the ball.

He knew the name Shinomiya Tōno, and there was one thing he needed to confirm.

"Martial arts? What are you doing?" Fujii Masao felt a tug on the corner of his clothes. When he returned home, he saw the martial artist and asked in confusion.

"Captain, let me do the jump ball, I want to try it." Budo said to Fujii Masao, and then walked into the center circle without any explanation. Shinomiya Tanano on the opposite side looked at this scene with interest, with a smile on his face

A faint smile.

"you?"

"."

"All right."

Although Masao Fujii didn't know why Budo did this, he still gave up the position for the jump ball. Budao was similar in height to him, and his bounce was better than him. Masao Fujii had no objection to giving up the jump ball.

.

Martial Arts came to Shinomiya Tano, his eyes were fixed on the handsome face in front of him, he was silent for a long time, and said in Chinese abruptly:

"The king of heaven overshadows the tigers of the earth."

The expected standard answer did not appear. The other party bent his knees slightly and looked at Martial Arts with a puzzled look.

"What are you looking at?" Wu Dao scratched his head, thinking that his opening method was wrong, and continued to ask in Chinese. The other party frowned even more tightly, and finally said:

"I don't know what I'm talking about. If you think you can disrupt me and win the jump ball in this way, you are wrong."

"Is it just for such a small trick to replace that guy and jump the ball with me?"

Shinomiya Tano looked disdainful, raised his chin slightly, and said.

Seeing this scene, Wu Dao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"It turns out he is a native." Wu Dao rubbed his cheek and calmed down. At this moment, the referee, who had been watching the show for a long time, finally came to the side in the center of the two people, blew the whistle, and at the same time raised the ball high.

Thrown into the air.

"snort!"

The Shinomiya on the opposite side snorted softly, and suddenly bounced up. The terrifying explosive force made his bounce speed reach the maximum, and his palm was instantly pressed on the basketball. Just when Shinomiya was about to shoot the ball towards his own player,

A palm pressed on the other side of the basketball almost at the same time.

"Huh?" Shinomiya Takashi let out a surprised sound, and then he exerted great force and instantly knocked the basketball away. Even if there was martial arts exerting force on the other side of the ball, the basketball still flew steadily towards No. 5 in No. 1 Middle School.

.

The player from No. 1 Middle School took a step forward and successfully took the basketball into his hands, then hugged it tightly without attacking.

After Budo landed, he didn't worry about the failure of the jump ball, nor was he in a hurry to return to the court to defend, but instead followed Shinomiya's side.

"Are you the one defending me?"

"You have to work harder, otherwise I will be very boring."

Just as Budao was following Shinomiya Tōdō, Shinomiya Tōdō's voice suddenly reached Budō's ears. As soon as he finished speaking, the person who was originally in front of Budō quickly ducked and got directly past Budō's side.

Wu Dao wanted to stop him, but when he got closer to the opponent, a terrifying force came from the side. Wu Dao, who was clearly trying to stop him, was forcefully bounced back by this force.

On the other hand, the opponent's forward momentum continued unabated, and they soon returned to their half, running into a quite wide space.

When the No. 1 Middle School player who had the ball saw this, he immediately passed the ball to Shinomiya Tanano. After passing the ball, he advanced towards the half court of Takeishi Middle School.

Shinomiya, who got the basketball, patted the ball and slowly advanced towards the frontcourt.

"The defender? The defender who goes for the jump ball?"

"Or is it a one-man team?"

Off the court, Masayoshi Anzai was filled with doubts when he saw this scene. After thinking for a long time, he came up with a possibility. The No. 9 in possession of the ball on the court might be the opponent's ace, an almighty ace.

That kind of one-man team is not uncommon in junior high schools, but Masayoshi Anzai immediately shook his head when he had such an idea, because according to his information, that player did not average a lot of points per game.

Just as Masayoshi Anzai was thinking about it, all the No. 1 players and Takeishi players on the court had arrived at Takeishi's half.

Shinomiya Slowly brought the ball into the frontcourt and glanced around, showing his strong intention to pass the ball.

Jinguji Budo stood in front of Shinomiya Nono, not looking at the opponent. His eyes were fixed on the basketball and Shinomiya Nono's hands, and he paid attention to the opponent's feet with his peripheral vision. He remained calm and did not dare to slack off for a moment.

Although it was confirmed that the other party was a native, Wu Dao's vigilance did not decrease at all. The two colored entries in the system panel were really eye-catching, and the "invincible appearance" made Wu Dao even more cautious against the person in front of him.

Moreover, the opponent's S-level martial arts had just been tasted, and the terrifying power coming from the body was enough to make the martial arts go all out.

"With my center of gravity so low, do you think I can't shoot three-pointers?"

Shinomiya approached the three-point line with the ball and said abruptly. After hearing this, Budo subconsciously raised his head and saw the boy in front of him put the ball together with his hands and shot a three-pointer.

Under Wu Dao's surprised gaze, the basketball flew towards the basket. Wu Dao could see that the direction of the shot was in the right direction.

"Dang~" However, unexpectedly, the basketball hit the edge of the frame and fell out of the frame.

"." Shinomiya still kept shooting, but his confident expression froze. He didn't expect that he missed the three-pointer in the small open space.

"It turned out to be a joke." Wu Dao thought to himself, watching the fight under the basket and getting ready.

"Bang!" A soft sound sounded in the court. No. 4 in the first center successfully grabbed the offensive rebound. After landing, he protected the ball in his arms and found an opportunity to pass it to No. 5 on the outside.

"Tianye, you bastard, please be more steady and stop shooting those weak three-pointers of yours!"

No. 5, who received the ball, roared as he lobbed the ball to Shinomiya. The parabola of the basketball was very high.

"Idiot, don't pass the ball like this. This kid is not like the bad guys we met before."

Not only was Shinomiya not happy when his teammates lobbed the ball to him, but he cursed loudly. At the same time, he put his body directly against Budo's back, hoping to use his own power to affect Budo's take-off.

However, Wu Dao is also very smart. The moment he felt the power coming from behind, he immediately took a step forward and got away from the opponent. At the same time, he quickly jumped up and intercepted the ball.

Although Jinguji Budo's bounce is not as good as Shinomiya's, it is still quite good. This kind of pass may not be intercepted by junior high school students who are over 170cm, but for Budo, it is not a problem.

After receiving the ball, Wu Dao quickly dropped the ball and rushed directly towards the frontcourt. However, just after taking two steps, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and slapped the basketball with one hand.

"What a quick reaction!" Wu Dao was surprised and at the same time, he pushed the ball towards his side with his palm and passed the basketball sideways while traveling.

On the other side, Hisashi Mitsui just ran out from the three-point line, successfully caught the basketball and rushed towards the frontcourt. Shinomiya Tano, who couldn't resist, raised his eyebrows when he saw this scene, turned around and headed towards Mitsui Hisashi.

Chase after him and ignore martial arts.

Shinomiya's speed was very fast and his strides were very long. When Mitsui Hisashi was near the opponent's three-point line, he successfully pursued Mitsui Hisashi.

It was precisely because of Shinomiya's presence that Mitsui Hisashi was stunned and forced to stop the ball. However, at this moment, a figure passed by the two of them. Shinomiya noticed this out of the corner of his eye.

He adjusted his body position slightly, ready to switch defense at any time.

Hisashi Mitsui turned his head and looked at the figure rushing into the paint. With a flick of his wrist, the basketball hit the ground and passed out.

"Good pass!" Jinguji Budo received the ball smoothly, quickly combined the ball, and jumped high towards the basket with two long strides.

"Motor, motor!" However, at this moment, a figure suddenly jumped out from the side of Wu Dao, yelling and stretching out his arms to block all routes of Wu Dao's layup.

Seeing this scene, Budo was not surprised but overjoyed. His layup action changed in the air, and the basketball was passed directly towards Mitsui Hisashi behind him.

Mitsui Hisashi received the ball without any hindrance. He adjusted his posture and shot directly. His position at this time was near the free throw line. A mid-range shot from such a distance was too easy for Mitsui Hisashi.

"Whoosh!"

The basketball fell directly into the net, and Takeshi Middle School scored the first two points in the national competition.

"It's a shame you were able to catch up with me from that position, but basketball is not played alone."

Jinguji Budo said with a smile, this wave of coordinated goals has greatly boosted morale, and Budo couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed. There was a bit of fear and a bit of ridicule in his words.

Fortunately, he was careful and didn't go for a stupid layup, otherwise what would have greeted him would have been a super hot pot.

Shinomiya did not disappoint him. While guarding Hisashi Mitsui near the free throw line, he was able to catch up inside. Even a martial artist with such terrifying athletic ability can't help but feel a little emotional.

After saying this, Budo and Mitsui Hisashi high-fived each other, and then the two began to return.

Under the basket, Shinomiya squatted down and picked up the basketball with one hand. Looking at the backs of Budo and Mitsui Hisashi as they left, a smile appeared on his lips.

"It's interesting. Finally it's not some rotten fish or shrimp."
