"Wooooo!" Shigong Tianye sat on the floor and roared towards the sky. Then he slowly got up from the floor, brushed off the dust on his butt, and looked towards Wudao.
"field!
Beautifully done!
”
"It went in, it actually went in, Shigong, you're amazing!"
After a short silence, cheers broke out in the rest area of Ryonan. Coach Tanaka, who had been watching the game with a cold face, even stood up from his seat, put his hands on his mouth and cheered loudly for Shinomiya Tanaka. He was obviously a middle-aged man in his forties, but at this moment he was as excited as the teenager next to him.
Even the referee near the baseline was stunned for a few seconds before blowing the whistle and pressing down with his right hand to indicate that the goal was valid.
"This... this kind of action, can a high school student really do it?"
"What kind of monsters are these?"
Even Zhang Yongjun, who was sitting on the side of the court, opened his mouth slightly. After a long time, he shook his head and sighed that this practice match was really a small pain in the butt and opened his eyes.
In the rest area of Xiangbei High School across from him, Coach Anxi couldn't help but push up his glasses, as if he couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes. After a long while, he sighed, "I didn't expect that there would be such a genius in Ryonan."
After sighing, Coach Anxi couldn't help but think of the proud student he had taught when he was in college, and thought to himself:
"I thought I would never see a player as talented as Tanizawa again, but I didn't expect that geniuses would emerge all of a sudden."
"The existence of geniuses is often lonely, just like Gu Ze in the past, because they are too dazzling, so dazzling that neither teammates nor opponents can shake their brilliance."
"But the pond of Neon is too small. No matter how great the geniuses in this pond are, they can never truly stand at the top."
“When a genius from a pond comes to the sea, he will not be able to adapt to the local climate.”
"However, these two children are different! I am absolutely sure that Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tano, these two geniuses in the pond, can swim even in the sea!"
Coach Anxi clenched his fists, and his long-silent heart began to beat vigorously again at this moment. His ambitions, his dreams, and the scenes he saw in his dreams flashed quickly before his eyes.
While the players and coaches off the court were excited, Jinguji Takeshi was looking at Shinomiya Tano in front of him with a stern expression. His eyes were more solemn than ever before.
"I've only seen this kind of goal in highlights of star players before."
"I didn't expect that this time I saw it, it actually happened right in front of my eyes."
"This Shigong Tianye is really strong..."
Wudao looked at the face in front of him, thinking silently in his heart. After a long time, when the referee blew the whistle and signaled Xiangbei to serve, Wudao came to his senses and walked silently to the baseline.
"This is what's fun... Playing basketball with opponents like this is what's fun!"
When Jinguji Takeshi reached the end line, he was happier than ever. He could feel that the blood in his body seemed to be boiling, and his face was filled with a bright smile.
Shimono retreated, he saw the smile on Wudao's face, and a bright smile appeared on his face as well.
"It was almost completely blocked, but I'm still more skilled!" Shinomiya Tianye thought happily and retreated quickly.
After Shimono Shimota's goal, the momentum of Ryonan High School could no longer be suppressed. When the players of Shohoku High School were attacking, they could clearly feel that the defensive movements and concentration of these Ryonan players had been significantly improved.
Suddenly, the attack became difficult.
There was a total of thirty seconds of offensive time, and most of the time, the Xiangbei players were defended and found it difficult to shoot. When there were less than three seconds left, Mitsui Hisashi received the ball and made a strong mid-range shot under the defensive pressure of Sendoh Akira.
Mitsui's shot was just in time for the end of the attack. Mitsui, with a big heart, shot steadily and the basketball fell into the net accurately.
Before the substitutes of Xiangbei could cheer, Ryonan High School started another fast break. This time, Xiangbei had already prepared and returned to defense in the first place, which made Ryonan lose the opportunity to play a fast break.
However, the people from Ryonan were not afraid of losing their position. It was Sendoh Akira who held the ball outside the three-point line, and Yuzumi set a pure high-post pick-and-roll. Taking advantage of the fact that several defensive players of Xiangbei failed to switch defense in time, Sendoh Akira passed the ball to Yuzumi, who scored on the rebound in the low post.
Compared with the tacit cooperation of Ryonan High School, Shohoku relies more on the individual performance of Mitsui Hisashi and Jinguji Takeshi, and the starting point of the attack is also Takeshi and Mitsui Hisashi.
It has been more than a year since Mitsui joined Shohoku High School, but Coach Anzai has not formulated any special tactics against Mitsui. At most, it is a simple pick-and-roll by Chiba Daishi, and this is Mitsui's entire offensive environment.
With Sendoh's defense and Ryonan's tacit switching cooperation, Mitsui faced great defensive pressure. The Ryonan team was different from some teams that Shohoku had encountered before. Ryonan's defensive skills were quite solid, and Mitsui had to force shots several times.
The situation of Wudao is similar to that of Mitsui. Shigong Tianye doesn't care about his physical consumption at all. He is like a dog-skin plaster, tightly clinging to Wudao all over the court. Wudao is not only uncomfortable to receive the ball, but also full of pressure when attacking. In order to get rid of Shigong Tianye's death entanglement, Wudao often needs to spend more physical energy on the offensive end to have a chance to shoot.
But under this kind of defensive pressure, Wu Dao's hit rate is not so good.
For a time, Ryonan High School had a considerable advantage on the field, and the gap between the two teams was narrowing little by little.
13 minutes into the second half, Ryonan High School finally eliminated its previous disadvantage and tied the score at 70.
"Damn, what a difficult group of people!"
On the court, Mitsui Shou carried the ball, with his hand on Sendoh's body, trying to maintain his dribbling space. Feeling uncomfortable in the breakthrough position, Mitsui Shou sought an opportunity and returned the ball to Miyagi Ryouta.
Miyagi didn't even bother to cover the ball. The next second after catching it, he passed it directly to Jinguji Budou who ran into an open space not far away.
Wudao received the ball, swept the ball and turned around at the same time, then slightly spread his legs, bent his knees slightly, and looked up at the handsome boy in front of him. In front of him, Shigong Tianye squinted his eyes slightly, and the next second after Wudao received the ball, he instantly lowered his center of gravity, raised one hand horizontally, and tried to interfere with Wudao's dribbling with the other hand, and put it in front of Wudao.
"Huh...Huh..."
The sweat of Shigong Tianye gathered at his chin, condensed into water droplets, and fell down. Heavy breathing came out of Shigong Tianye's mouth.
"clatter!"
Shinomiya Tano was sweating profusely. At this moment, Jinguji Takeshi took the ball and swung it to his side. Shinomiya Tano quickly moved forward. The next moment, Jinguji Takeshi faked the ball back and exploded the ball on the other side. Then the ball protector pressed on Shinomiya Tano, took a step back to directly widen the distance between him and Shinomiya Tano, and quickly shot.
Shimono Yamada's reaction was very quick. When he saw Wudao stepping back, he wanted to rush forward, but suddenly his foot slipped and he fell to the ground.
"Shua!" The basketball went into the net, and Jinguji Budo, who scored the goal, looked down at Shigong Tianye and quickly returned to the court. Shigong Tianye frowned and looked at the floor, and found that there were black wet stains on the floor. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and slammed his fists on the floor, and wanted to get up.
But just as he was about to stand up, Shinomiya Tianye felt his legs go weak and he half-knelt on the floor.
"field?!"
"Shinomiya-san."
"Tian Ye, what's wrong with you!"
The players of Ryonan High School noticed the situation of Shigong Tianye, and Sendoh, Yuzumi and others surrounded them immediately. Jinguji Budou heard the movement behind him, slowed down his pace and turned his head to see Shigong Tianye half-kneeling. Looking at Shigong Tianye with a pale face, Jinguji Budou understood.
"It's beyond my expectation that you can hold on for this long. Are you finally unable to bear it anymore?"
"He has been on the court for 30 minutes. His physical strength distribution was not reasonable to begin with. It is not easy for him to last until now."
Budo stopped, put his hands on his hips, and looked towards Shinomiya Tano.
"I'm fine!" Shimono was helped up by Sendoh and others. He frowned as if he wanted to shake off his teammates' hands, but he suddenly found that Sendoh's hands were holding him tightly and he couldn't shake them off!
"Don't be so stubborn. I can see that you have reached your limit."
"Your offense was crazy in the first half, and your defense was also very hard in the second half."
"I thought you would have given up long ago. I can only say that it's worthy of you to have been able to hold on until now."
"Leave the rest of the game to us, Tian Ye."
Sendoh looked at his teammates beside him and spoke gently.
"Asshole! What bullshit are you talking about! Let me go!" Shinomiya Tianye raised his brows, brushed away Sendoh's hand, and wanted to walk towards the front court, but after taking a step, he felt as if his legs were not his own, weak and powerless, he staggered and was about to fall down.
Yuzumi, who was standing by, was quick to support Shigong Tianye, shook his head helplessly, and said softly: "Your condition is no longer sufficient to support you in the competition, Tianye."
Shinomiya Tano couldn't believe his current state. He stared at the ground blankly, carefully feeling the soreness in his legs. He grabbed Yuzumi's shoulders to steady himself, raised his head and looked towards Jinguji Budo, his eyes filled with reluctance.
It wasn't that he was weak, nor was it that he was physically weak. In the final analysis, he had fallen into the physical trap of martial arts, and there was a big problem in the distribution of physical energy. He didn't feel that he had lost, but he knew clearly that he was going to be substituted, while his opponent could still stay on the court.
Wu Dao had a blank expression on his face. He clenched his right fist in front of himself, looked deeply at Shigong Tianye, turned around silently, and walked towards his own half of the court.
"Shinomiya Tano, I won!"
...
At 13 minutes and 45 seconds into the second half, Shinomiya Tano was finally replaced by Coach Tagora due to exhaustion.
Shinomiya Tano played for 30 minutes and 45 seconds, scoring 37 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 turnovers. Although he left the game early due to exhaustion, Shinomiya Tano's terrifying performance still left a deep impression on everyone.
After Shinomiya Tano left the field, there was obviously a huge loophole in the defense of Ryonan High School. Although Budou also consumed a huge amount of physical energy, without a defensive player of Shinomiya Tano's level, Jinguji Budou, who was over 190cm tall, was like a fish in water.
The third-year player from Ryonan who replaced Shimoya Tano was completely defeated by Wudang.
Ryonan's high-post pick-and-roll tactics also showed flaws with the departure of Shigong Tianye. Without Shigong Tianye's threat on the offensive end, Budo completely let go of the opponent's mid-range and long-range shots and filled in near the sideline of the paint area.
Regardless of whether Sendoh intends to attack by himself or pass the ball to Yuzumi after the breakthrough, Budou can interfere immediately. With Budou's help defense, both Sendoh and Yuzumi face considerable pressure when attacking, and their hit rate naturally drops.
On the other hand, on the Shohoku side, Budou's matchup was overwhelming. Sendoh, who was defending Mitsui Hisashi, had no way to fill the gap left by his teammates, and Uozumi and Ikegami in the interior didn't even have time to fill the gap, so Budou scored a single goal.
As for Nishibayashi Kenichi and the new Ryonan player, the two of them together could not have any impact on Wu Dao's turnaround jump shot.
For a moment, the game seemed to have turned into Wudao's personal shooting training. The success of Xiangbei's offense depended entirely on whether Wudao's shots hit the target.
Mitsui Shou just felt like he was back to the time when he played basketball with Takeishi Junior High School. At that time, Takeshi, who had just joined the basketball team, only had one shooting skill, but it was this shooting skill, combined with his superior height, that helped him beat countless opposing players.
Even in high school, Wu Dao's shooting was still a nightmare for his opponents.
Perhaps there really is someone in the high school basketball world who can threaten Wu Dao's turnaround and fadeaway, but this person is obviously not the one who is facing Wu Dao on the court.
Even Ryonan's coach Takeka did not expect that his team would collapse so quickly after replacing Shimono Tano. During the period, he tried to call a timeout and let Sendoh defend Jinguji Takeoh, but to his despair, Mitsui Hisashi, without Sendoh's restraint, showed a scoring ability that was even more terrifying than Takeoh.
At least Budo only got two points at a time, but Mitsui Shou got three points at a time.
After this calculation, Coach Takeo decided to let Sendoh defend Mitsui Hisashi. He didn't believe that Sendoh could play the entire game and still maintain high efficiency.
However, the result disappointed Coach Tagora. Takeshi Jinguji actually played the entire remaining time and maintained his high efficiency!
In the end, Shohoku High School won the game with 98:87. Jinguji Budo scored a terrifying 55 points in a single game. As for the rebounds, assists and steals, no one cared about them except what was written in Ayako's little notebook.
The audience only knew that Jinguji Budou scored a terrifying score of 55 points in the high school game. Although it was a practice match, the team Budou faced was not a weak team, but Ryonan High School. His opponent was Shinomiya Tano, who had won the junior high school MVP.
“Beep!”
As the referee blew the whistle to end the game, players from both teams lined up in the center of the field and shook hands.
Shinomiya Tianye covered his head with a wet towel, staring at Jinguji Budou in the court with his fists clenched. This year, two players, Sendoh and Shinomiya Tianye, joined the team, and they still lost to Xiangbei by 11 points. All the Ryonan players could not hide their disappointment on their faces.
Coach Tian Gang looked at the players on the court, then looked back at the frustrated Ryonan players, and whispered, "Don't worry, the trials will start in June, there are still about two months left, we still have time!"
"We in Lingnan still have a lot of room for improvement!"
On the court, the Xiangbei players shook hands with their opponents solemnly. After that, Miyagi could no longer hold back his emotions and ran towards Ayako off the court, cheering. Mitsui Shou also came to Wudao with a smile on his face and asked with a smile:
"Not counting the practice matches before, this can be considered your first serious match since entering high school."
"How does it feel?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Dao looked at Sendoh, Shinomiya Tano, Yuzumi and others, and said softly: "I feel like we can dominate the country!"
