"Pass the ball, pass the ball quickly!"
Because Fujima was restricted, Shoyo's offense came to a standstill. As the offensive time passed, Shinji Koizumi in the interior finally couldn't help it and ran out while shouting at Fujima.
Fujima saw Koizumi's move and quickly threw the ball out. Although Miyagi Ryouta wanted to intercept it, due to his height, he did not affect Fujima's pass.
Shinji Koizumi also ran directly from the ground paint area to the high position near the free throw line before he successfully received the basketball.
Just as Koizumi got the ball and was about to make a move, he suddenly felt his back sink. Budou Jinguji quickly appeared behind him and pressed against Koizumi's waist, making it impossible for Koizumi to easily turn around and face the basket.
Shinji Koizumi glanced at the attack time and saw that there were less than 10 seconds left. Although he knew that Jinguji Budo was not easy to deal with, the attack time forced him to make a decision quickly.
"I don't hit you hard, not because I'm afraid of you!" Koizumi Shinji's face darkened, he whispered, and quickly dropped the ball. At the same time, Koizumi Shinji lowered his buttocks, and his back pressed hard against Jinguji Budou's chest.
"Bang!" After a muffled sound, Jinguji Budou not only did not retreat, but instead took a step forward and pushed Koizumi a little towards the three-point line.
It was just a trial attack, and Koizumi Shinji's face darkened. He didn't expect that Jinguji Budo's power was so strong. His speed was already very fast, so why was his power also so strong? !
Shinji Koizumi, who didn't believe it, gathered his strength again and pressed his back hard against Takeshi Jinguji's body again. However, this time, the recoil force was even greater than the previous one. Takeshi Jinguji, who was prepared to deal with it, was even stronger this time than before.
At the same time, due to the huge back shock, Koizumi Shinji's dribbling rhythm was disrupted by Budo. Jinguji Budo accurately caught this flaw, and directly stooped from behind Koizumi to grab the ball, knocking the basketball out of Koizumi's hands.
Almost at the same time as he took out the basketball, Wudao's body suddenly jumped out beside Koizumi, directly controlled the ball in his hands, and quickly moved forward with the ball.
"Quick attack!"
Seeing this, Mitsui Shou shouted excitedly, then jumped out quickly and ran towards the front court.
At the same time, Wudao saw Mitsui Hisashi running in front of him, and threw the ball to the front court while moving. Wudao, empty-handed, accelerated again and rushed to the front court, leaving behind Shinji Koizumi who was trying to chase him.
"Good pass!" Mitsui Hisashi ran very fast and caught up with the basketball soon after crossing the center line. He controlled the ball in his hands and quickly rushed to the basket with the ball.
"They're chasing me. They're pretty fast!" As Mitsui was dribbling towards the basket, he noticed that there was a pursuer behind him. He slowed down a little and looked back. He saw Fujima following closely behind him.
Seeing the pursuers, Mitsui Shou was not panicked at all. A faint smile appeared on his face. He accelerated again and quickly dribbled the ball across the three-point line.
"Be careful, Mitsui-senpai!" Miyagi Ryouta also joined the fast break sequence. He was on the other side of Mitsui, moving towards the basket. Seeing Fujima chasing Mitsui closely, he couldn't help but remind him loudly.
Mitsui seemed not to hear Miyagi's reminder and rushed towards the basket. Just when Mitsui was about to move to the basket, the basketball flew out of his hands without warning.
"What?!" Fujima was shocked when he saw the basketball flying out from in front of Mitsui Shou. Because at this moment, Mitsui Shou did not make any layup action at all. His shot was actually just aimlessly throwing the ball into the basket.
The next second, Fujima reacted suddenly and turned his head quickly, and saw a huge figure wearing a red No. 15 jersey quickly taking off behind him.
"It's a pass!" At this moment, Fujima finally understood Mitsui's intention. Looking at Jinguji Budo who was flying into the air in front of him and getting closer and closer to him, he subconsciously put his hand in front of his face, ready to meet the collision.
Between his fingers, Fujima saw Jinguji Budo in the air suddenly open his legs, and the next second, the opponent actually flew over his head. The wind was blowing hard, and Fujima's sweat-soaked jersey fluttered in the wind.
“Bang!”
"Duang!
!
”
Wudao jumped over Fujima, grabbed the basketball with both hands in the air, and then slammed the ball into the basket. With the loud noise, the entire venue fell into an eerie silence.
And Fujima Kenji, who was behind Takeshi, still kept covering his face with his hands. After a long time, Fujima put down his hands in a daze, turned his head and looked at Jinguji Takeshi, his eyes slightly widened with disbelief.
The referee on the sidelines, with the whistle in his mouth, had unknowingly lowered it to his chest. He was now craning his neck, staring at Jinguji Budo, as if he could see more clearly this way.
Coach Anxi, who had always been calm and composed, was no longer as calm as before. The moment he saw Wudao's slam dunk, he stood up from his seat and clenched his fists. Although he was over 60 years old, he could clearly feel the blood in his body boiling.
"Oh oh oh oh oh!" After a long period of silence in the stadium, an astonishing cheer finally broke out, and the loud cheers broke through the basketball stadium. Outside the stadium, passers-by who didn't know what was going on could hear the jubilation in the stadium, and looked in the direction of the stadium with surprise and curiosity.
Jinguji Budo grabbed the basket with both hands, and only released his hands after his body was stable, and fell back to the ground.
"Well done! Wudao." Mitsui Shou also came out of his shock, came to Wudao, punched him on the chest, and exclaimed.
"It's so-so. You should pass the ball better."
Wudao smiled, looked back at the stunned Fujima, and then started to defend with Mitsui Hisashi.
"Is this guy really just a high school student? Or a first-year student?!"
Until now, Kenji Fujima still couldn't believe what he had just seen. In this world, there actually are high school students who can jump over others and dunk. Fujima has never seen or even heard of such an outrageous thing in his entire life.
Moreover, as the person who was dunked over by a flying jumper, Fujima was shocked much more than the audience. Fujima did not want to experience that kind of oppressive feeling a second time.
"Beep!" The referee's whistle finally sounded. Without any surprise, Wudao's slam dunk was counted as a valid goal.
Fujima quietly came to the baseline, sent the ball, and after entering the field to receive the return pass from his teammates, he quietly advanced with the ball to the front court. The other Xiangyang players also trotted to the front court without saying a word, and everyone's face was written with the word frustration.
Shoyo's fighting spirit and morale were completely crushed by Shohoku and Jinguji Budo.
Shoyo's coach slumped on the bench. He could see that his team had lost its morale, but he didn't make any more efforts. In his opinion, Shohoku High School was already invincible with players of Jinguji Budou's level. Shohoku also had ace-level players like Mitsui Hisashi and a county-level center like Akagi.
Today, the hard power of Xiangbei High School has surpassed that of Shoyo.
In the rest of the first half, Xiangyang's offensive rhythm could be said to be a mess, there were many more mistakes between players' passes, and the offensive organization was quite loose.
After missing several balls in a row, Kenji Fujima was the first to wake up. He knew that if the game continued like this, he would definitely lose. Therefore, he looked down the court from time to time, hoping that his coach would call a timeout to give the players some time to adjust.
However, the Shoyo coach on the sidelines was not paying attention to the court at all. He lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't even notice Fujima's eyes that were longing for a timeout.
Takeshi Jinguji's two consecutive dunks brought Shohoku's morale to the peak, and the booming morale also fed back to Takeshi. On the offensive end, Takeshi was like a fish in water. The defense of Shoyo players was easily defeated by Takeshi Jinguji. In just less than two minutes, Shohoku's lagging score was caught up by Takeshi Jinguji.
In fact, as the game progressed, Xiangbei took the lead in the score and quickly consolidated it.
As the whistle sounded at the end of the half, Xiangbei High School ended the first half with a 49:39 lead. After Mitsui and others came on the court, Xiangbei not only recovered all the 9 points behind, but also surpassed Xiangyang by 10 points.
And all this happened in just 6 minutes. During these 6 minutes, Shoyo only scored a pitiful 4 points and had no way to break through Shohoku's defense.
Jinguji Budo scored a terrifying 36 points in the first half.
During the halftime break, the players of both teams simply rested on the sidelines. Suddenly, a violent quarrel broke out in the rest area of Shoyo. Because of the distance, Wudao did not hear what the other side was arguing about, but looking at Fujima Kenji and Shoyo's coach who were arguing with red faces, Wudao could probably guess why.
In the second half of the first half, Shoyo's decline was already very obvious. At that time, although Shoyo still had a 5-point lead, the players' momentum was greatly damaged by Wudao's dunk.
Normally, Shoyo’s coach should have seen the signs and known that it was time for a timeout, but Shoyo didn’t.
As the game progressed, Shoyo's offensive level dropped significantly, and the score was caught up by Xiangbei. A normal coach, even if he was not very good, should have realized that something was wrong and called a timeout, but Shoyo still did not, allowing the players to be slaughtered like pigs on the court. This operation accelerated Shoyo's defeat.
At that time, Budo realized that the coach of Shoyo seemed to have given up the pursuit of victory. However, Fujima on the court was still actively organizing and trying to awaken his teammates' desire to win. However, under the pressure of Shohoku's defense, Fujima, who was in control of the ball, did not dare to be too distracted, and the organizational effect was not ideal.
Hanagata also tried to reorganize Shoyo's offense together with Fujima, but due to his limited strength, two of Akagi's layups were blocked by Jinguji Budou who came to defend.
This is probably the reason why Fujima is arguing with their coach now.
The argument between Fujima and the team coach became more and more intense. The players of Shohoku were very curious about it. The active Miyagi Ryouta even tried to leave the rest area and go to Shoyo to listen to what they were arguing about, but was stopped by Ayako.
In order to prevent the players from running around, Coach Anxi warned them, "Don't worry about unimportant things. Take the time to rest."
"No matter what happens in the Xiangyang team, there is only one thing for you to do, and that is to defeat them."
"Budo, don't forget what you promised!"
Coach Anzai emphasized Jinguji Budou when he spoke, and Budou just nodded when he heard it, but his curiosity was still there, so he could only stretch his neck to see the situation on the Shoyo side.
The quarrel from Shoyo attracted everyone in the conference, and many people gathered over one after another. The quarrel lasted for about ten minutes. In the end, Fujima and Hanagata, two second-year students, walked out of the crowd angrily and went towards the player tunnel.
Shoyo's coach was furious and pointed at Fujima and Hanagata's backs and cursed them a few times, then sat back on the bench. It was only at this time that the quarrel in Shoyo came to an end.
"It's over! Without Fujima, Shoyo has no hope of winning."
"If nothing unexpected happens in the second half, it will be garbage time. There's no need to watch any more."
"Let's go! Go to the locker room and get ready to start the game!"
In the stands, Coach Takeo, who witnessed the entire farce of Shoyo, spoke softly, took a deep look at the passage where Fujima and Hanagata left, an inexplicable smile appeared on his face, and then he quickly left the venue with the Ryonan players.
Everyone from Hainan was still on the field. Coach Gaotou was sitting on a chair, and the notebook in his hand was already filled with a lot of things without him noticing.
"Coach, I've watched half the game. Do you have any idea how to deal with Xiangbei No. 15?"
Shinichi Maki has a very good relationship with Coach Gaotou. During the half-time break, Shinichi Maki turned his head and saw the notebook full of notes in Coach Gaotou's hand, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It may not be considered as dealing with it, but there are ways to restrict it."
"In the entire Kanagawa, only we in Hainan can implement such tactics!"
"At the moment, it seems that Xiangbei is the strongest challenger so far. Fortunately, there is some time between the quarterfinals and the semifinals, so we can still do a few rounds of tactical drills."
Coach Gaotou spoke with a tone of relief, and then silently closed his notebook.
The half-time break is twenty minutes. Generally speaking, both teams will return to the locker room to rest, but both the Xiangbei and Shoyo teams did not go back and both rested on the sidelines of the court.
Ten minutes after Shoyo’s internal strife, the whistle for the second half sounded.
Shohoku maintained the lineup at the end of the first half, while Shoyo had significant personnel changes. Fujima and Hanagata were absent, and there were two new players with high draft numbers but whom Budou did not recognize.
The mentality of Shoyo's players seemed to be a bit problematic, and everyone in Shohoku noticed it as soon as the game started. Akagi was the one who completed the jump ball, and after winning it, the ball was controlled by Miyagi. As Miyagi pushed forward with the ball, Shoyo's defense suddenly became like paper, and was easily broken by Miyagi.
Shoyo's defensive players had no fighting spirit.
Facing such an opponent, although Wudao finds it boring, he will not show mercy.
Less than ten minutes into the second half, Jinguji Takeshi's personal score had reached 60 points, and as the game progressed, Takeshi's personal scoring record was being refreshed rapidly. At the same time as his personal scoring record was being refreshed, the county tournament's personal scoring record was also being refreshed by Takeshi.
The more points Budou scored, the more miserable Shoyo, who was just in the background, looked. In the second half of the game, whenever Budou had the ball, Shoyo's players didn't even think about defending.
As the final whistle of the game sounded, the strongest team in Kanagawa Prefecture also ended its journey of this session. This traditional strong team officially came to an end.
