“ohhhh!
!”
"Shobei! Shobei! Shobei!"
The audience in the stands were excited. Although Budou didn't have any explosive slam dunks or that kind of direct impact on the audience, watching Jinguji Budou play basketball was a different feeling.
That graceful and agile shooting style attracted some basketball enthusiasts to try it in their seats.
"Jinguji-senpai's jump shot is really beautiful! There are almost no players in Kanagawa who play like him."
Haruko Akagi, Hanamichi Sakuragi and others were sitting in the front row of the audience. When they saw Shohoku score another goal, they were delighted and expressed their feelings.
"Oh? Big brother's way of playing is very special?" When Sakuragi Hanamichi heard Haruko's words, he scratched his hair in confusion.
As a beginner, Sakuragi Hanamichi had never seen many basketball players and watched very few games. Moreover, Sakuragi's favorite goal was the explosive slam dunk. He really couldn't see what was so great about the goal like Jinguji Budou's.
The kind of playing style that wreaks havoc on the basket is the coolest style of play in Sakuragi Hanamichi's mind.
"How should I put it? There is a basic consensus among all basketball players, that is, the closer you are to the basket, the easier it is to score a goal."
"Although shooting is also a conventional way to score a goal, if there is a chance to break through, most people will never try to shoot, unless it is an open shot or the team's shooter."
"In a one-on-two situation like what Jinguji-senpai encountered, most players would choose to stop the ball and wait for their teammates before organizing the attack. A strong team ace might choose to try to break through, and once successful, they would immediately convert it into points. If they encounter some obstacles, they will stop breaking through and readjust."
"It takes a lot of practice to make shooting a regular offensive method, and even if you shoot accurately in practice, the situation will be different when you are on the court."
"And it's very difficult for Jinguji-senpai to shoot in a mobile game with interference from the opponent, and it's much more difficult to hit the target than a normal shot."
Akagi Haruko shared some information she knew with Sakuragi Hanamichi, which gave Sakuragi Hanamichi a basic understanding of shooting. However, it did not arouse much interest in Sakuragi Hanamichi. Jinguji Takeshi's fadeaway jump shot was cool, but it was still not as good as a slam dunk!
Haruko didn't know what was going on in Sakuragi Hanamichi's mind. She looked at Jinguji Budo on the field, but the figure of Rukawa Kaede appeared in her eyes.
"If it was Rukawa Kaede, he would be more rational. Even if he had to attack, he would choose to break through."
"In this regard, Rukawa Kaede is better than Jinguji-senpai!"
Haruko thought so in her heart and muttered softly. When Sakuragi Hanamichi heard the name from Haruko's mouth, he stood up straight with a vigilant look on his face, and then asked carefully: "Haruko... Haruko, who is Rukawa Kaede?"
When Haruko suddenly heard the familiar yet unfamiliar name from Sakuragi Hanamichi's mouth, she was startled and felt flustered. It was not that she wanted to hide it from Sakuragi, but Haruko had a good impression of Rukawa Kaede, and when she suddenly heard this name, she couldn't help feeling flustered.
When Sakuragi asked Haruko, Mito Yohei and others all looked away. They all saw the panic expression on Haruko's face. They were surprised at first, and then Yohei and Takamiya and others looked at each other. They all looked at Sakuragi with weird smiles on their faces.
"Could it be... Could it be that..." Although Sakuragi is simple, he is very sensitive when facing Haruko. Seeing Haruko showing such an expression, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Ryukawa Kaede...Ryukawa Kaede is..." Haruko stammered. Sakuragi's eyes became more desperate. Yohei and others' smiles became brighter. They seemed to be very happy to see Sakuragi suffer a setback.
"He is Jinguji-senpai's junior and is on the Takeishi Junior High School basketball team."
"I... .."
Just as Haruko was explaining to Sakuragi the question "Who is Rukawa Kaede", the audience around her suddenly became agitated.
“Wow!
!
Hainan succeeded! "
As the crowd attacked, Haruko, Sakuragi and others looked toward the court and saw Maki Shinichi steal the ball and layup and score successfully. The full-court pressing tactics of Hainan High School against Xiangbei finally had some effect.
With the help of his teammates, Maki Shinichi stole the pass from Mugure Konobu and scored a layup. At the moment when Maki Shinichi completed the steal, Wudao had already run across half court and was waiting for his teammates to come up, but the basketball was stolen before it even crossed half court.
It was Xiangbei's baseline serve again, and the server became Mugure Kiminori, and the basketball was handed to Miyagi. Miyagi had just received the basketball when he was directly double-teamed by Kainan. The thin Miyagi Ryouta secretly made up his mind to break through the siege of Kainan, and his movements were inevitably a little larger while moving.
The referee did not blow the whistle, but gave some signals to the Hainan players. In this game, the standards for whistling were more relaxed than before!
The experienced Hainan players noticed this in an instant and began to double-team Miyagi. Miyagi, who originally had space to dribble the ball, was thrown off balance by the sudden increase in the defensive intensity. He made a dribbling mistake and the basketball was once again stolen by Hainan.
For a moment, all the Xiangbei players realized that something was wrong. Miyagi had successfully passed the ball twice under the heavy pressure of Hainan, which made Xiangbei subconsciously relax their vigilance against Hainan, thinking that their full-court pressing tactics would not work on Xiangbei.
But as the basketball was intercepted again, everyone realized that something was wrong. The previous two goals were only because of Jinguji Budou's goal, which made them subconsciously ignore the weakness of the point guard line.
From the moment Hainan started to press the entire court, Xiangbei was actually already at a disadvantage!
Leading in the score cannot change the disadvantage in the situation.
Hainan stole the ball, Daiki Maekawa got the ball in the paint, and changed direction in front of his body. Although it was slow, he successfully broke through Akagi's defense, and then made a layup to score another goal for Hainan.
In the blink of an eye, Xiangbei fell into a huge disadvantage in the score. The disadvantage in scoring was a small matter. After two consecutive balls were intercepted, Xiangbei's players couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
The player serving from the baseline was still Kogure Kiminori, and when he served, Kazuma Takasago of Hainan was standing not far in front of Kogure, which drastically compressed Kogure's ball route.
Maekawa Daiki stuck to Akagi, and with his speed superior to Akagi, he firmly occupied a favorable position, not giving Akagi any chance to receive the ball. Maki Shinichi was still marking Mitsui Shou, and Hainan's Akun also found Miyagi. Beside Budou, Omasa Shifuku looked alert, and he followed wherever Budou went.
Kogure Konobu is less than 180cm tall, and when he serves, he is blocked by a player with a center-like body like Kazuma Takasago, making it difficult for him to serve.
If Kogure Mitsunobu had the opportunity to watch the games of Future China, he might understand why a center like Zhou Mowang could perform sideline ball tasks.
"Mumu, throw it up!"
As time passed by second by second, Kogure Konobu was about to commit a serve violation, and Jinguji Budou suddenly appeared in his own half, shouting loudly at Kogure.
After hearing this, Murasakibara didn't have time to think about it. He looked at Wudao's position and threw the ball directly into the air above Wudao. His shooting position was quite high, and even Takasago could not intercept such a pass.
But at the same time, Kogure Mitsunobu's pass was too high, which gave the Hainan players plenty of time to adjust.
The moment the basketball flew out, Kazuma Takasago turned around and ran towards Jinguji Budou. At the same time, Maekawa, who was defending Akagi, gave up Akagi and also ran towards Budou.
The place where the basketball landed was instantly filled with people.
There was a circle of Hainan players around Jinguji Budou. Shohoku also came to support him, but they were blocked by the Hainan players. The position was not good. Omasa Shifuku stood next to Budou, and his elbow was secretly pressing on Budou's waist, trying to prevent him from jumping. All the players looked up at the falling basketball.
"Hmph!" Wudao of course noticed Daisho Shifuku's little move. As the basketball fell, Wudao suddenly stretched out his hand to block it. Daisho's elbow was directly blocked by Wudao. At the same time, Wudao also raised his forearm to leave himself enough space to jump.
"Hah!" As the basketball fell, everyone jumped up and reached out to grab the basketball, regardless of whether they were in a good position or not. Below the basketball, several arms stretched straight out.
However, at this moment, Jinguji Budou's figure rose from the ground and surpassed everyone in an instant. He was the first to arrive and grabbed the basketball in his hands before everyone else.
While in the air, Wudao threw the ball directly to Kogure Konosuba.
"Defense!" Mu Shen fell back to the ground. Although he was a little disappointed that he didn't get the ball, he still threw himself into the game as soon as possible.
The Hainan players who had been surrounding Jinguji Budou scattered at this moment. Except for Omasa Shifuku, the rest of them went after the players they were supposed to defend.
As the people around him left, Wu Dao did not hesitate and rushed directly to the front.
"That No. 15! That No. 15!" The sudden appearance of Jinguji Takeshi's figure startled the Hainan substitutes off the court. Takeshi's solo fast break had already left a deep impression in those people's minds.
However, although the players off the field were sober, the players on the field were not so clear-headed.
When everyone saw the basketball fly into the hands of Mugure Mitsunobu, the Hainan players subconsciously ran after the ball.
When the Hainan players on the sidelines began to remind people, the basketball had already flown out of Mugure Konosubobu's hands and flew towards the frontcourt.
Mugure Konobu's long pass was still quite accurate, giving some lead time, and the basketball landed not far in front of Budo. The sprinting Jinguji Budo only took two steps to directly pick up the rebounding basketball, and then quickly ran down with the ball.
Daijo Shifuku followed closely behind Jinguji Takeshi. Takeshi tilted his head slightly, saw the other party's anxious look, and slowed down his pace a little.
Omasa Shifuku finally caught up with Jinguji Budou when Budou reached the three-point line. He thought that his efforts had paid off, but what he didn't know was that it was not he who caught up, but Budou who made him catch up.
"Step!" Stepping on the three-point line, Jinguji Budou suddenly stopped with the ball and looked at the basket. When Dazheng Shifu saw Budou's appearance, his heart sank and he stepped forward tentatively. As soon as he moved his body, Jinguji Budou, who had stopped suddenly, lowered his body and quickly accelerated to break through.
Fortunately, Daisho Shifuku was careful and did not raise his center of gravity completely, so he chased after Budo immediately.
“It’s blocked!
"Da Zheng Sifu instantly blocked in front of Jinguji Budo, and he was secretly happy in his heart, because in the previous few defenses, none of the people from Hainan who were defending Budo could keep up with Budo's first step, but now, he caught up.
While secretly rejoicing in his heart, Dazheng Shifu began to guard against Wudao's sudden stop jump shot. In the previous two times, Jinguji Wudao had used this offensive method. When he thought so in his heart, Jinguji Wudao who broke through suddenly stopped as he expected, and then took a step back and stepped directly beyond the three-point line.
Omasa Shifuku, who had been prepared, was overjoyed and rushed towards Jinguji Budo with a roar.
Jinguji Budou retreated a long distance. He was tall and strong. Normally, even if Daisho Shifuku was prepared, he couldn't intercept him immediately. But for some reason, Jinguji Budou didn't jump immediately after retreating to the right position. Instead, he paused for a while, as if he was waiting for Daisho Shifuku to come forward.
"It's a trap!" There was someone with discerning eyes, but this person with discerning eyes was Coach Tanaoka on the field, not Omasa Shifuku on the field.
Takeshi Jinguji stopped for half a second, then jumped up, and Omasa Shifuku, who was diving forward, happened to hit Takeshi's arm directly. However, even though he hit Takeshi's arm, it still did not interfere with Takeshi's entire shooting action.
He stepped back, jumped, and shot, all in one smooth move. The continuity was not affected at all by Omasa Shifu's foul, and the basketball flew straight towards the basket.
"Beep!" The referee's sharp whistle penetrated into the ears of Omasa Sifu, but at this time, he had no intention of paying attention to the referee. Instead, he turned his head and stared at the basketball.
"What are you expecting?" Jinguji Takeshi murmured softly, slowly walking towards the free throw line. As his voice fell, the basketball fell directly into the net with a crisp sound.
At the same time, the referee's decision has arrived.
"White Team No. 4, defensive foul!"
"The goal counts!"
The referee raised his hands to indicate that it was a three-pointer, and then made a quick decision.
3+1, a fast break 3+1. When the referee made the decision, the entire stadium was instantly filled with the audience's cheers.
"Three-pointer! The three-pointer is valid, and there is one free throw!
!”
"Who the hell is this guy? Another fast break three-pointer. Doesn't he have any teammates?!"
For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in the audience, and the noisy sound filled the entire stadium.
"You... did it on purpose?!" Omasa Sifu realized it belatedly, but he couldn't believe that this was a trap designed by a high school player, and couldn't help but confirm with Wudao.
"What else?"
"My basketball is not the same as yours!"
Jinguji Budo smiled, pointed towards the basket and said.
After hearing this, Omasa Shifuku's expression became gloomy. He thought Jinguji Budou was just a reckless freshman with good luck and some shooting ability. Even though Jinguji Budou performed well in the previous game, he did not give him the same sense of oppression as Shigong Tianye.
But when he realized that all this was part of the plan of the young man in front of him.
Omasa Shifu suddenly felt a little cold. This No. 15 of Xiangbei might be more terrifying than the freshman of Ryonan!
