After being fouled by Takasago, Jinguji Takeshi still easily scored two goals. Such a relaxed state made all the Hainan players feel depressed.
They all knew that Jinguji Budou had strong shooting ability, but the essence of their foul tactics was to affect Budou's shooting feel through fierce collisions.
Normally, if an ordinary pitcher is hit hard by a big center like Kazuma Takasago, the pain in his hand is enough to affect the shooter's posture and mentality. It is impossible for an ordinary high school student to adjust so quickly.
However, the performance of Takeshi Jinguji was far beyond everyone's expectations. Even Takasago's heavy hands did not affect Takeshi Jinguji's shooting. They really couldn't think of any other way to curb Takeshi Jinguji's attack.
"Don't panic, just follow the coach's instructions and keep playing."
"First, get the ball back!"
After a brief surprise, Maki Shinichi quickly regained his composure. He sensed the anxiety of his teammates and immediately encouraged them to calm their morale. Then he quickly took the ball to the baseline and passed it to Omae Shifuku. Omae Shifuku, who received the ball, also reacted quickly. As the captain, he encouraged his teammates a few words, passed the ball back, and quickly ran to the front court.
Although Hainan High School failed repeatedly on the defensive end, as long as their players calmed down and played well on offense, it would be quite difficult to stop them with the current lineup of Xiangbei High School.
Hainan's offense was mainly focused on Omasa Shifuku, who was facing Miyagi Ryouta. Facing this kind of mismatched singles, Budo had no good solution. Miyagi Ryouta's defensive loophole was infinitely magnified when facing a player of Omasa Shifuku's level.
If Budo goes to make up for the defense, Omasa Shifuku will immediately pass the ball to the inside, whether it is to Takasago or Maekawa Daiki, it is not something that Xiangbei can resist. Chiba Daishi is not as good as Takasago in the inside, and the gap between Akagi Takenori and Maekawa Daiki is also very large.
When Jinguji Budou occupies the inside, he can make Maekawa Daiki and Takasago Kazuma cautious. Once he leaves, Akagi and Chiba will become Hainan's targets.
Rather than asking Hainan to attack from the inside, it is better to bet that Da Zheng Sifu's outside shots will miss.
Hainan's Maki Shinichi did not take on too much responsibility in the attack alone. Hainan's offensive operation was pretty good and there would be no problems if the attack was carried out according to the existing tactics.
After Maki Shinichi entered the frontcourt, he tried to break through but failed to get the perfect shooting space, so he quickly passed the ball to Omasa Shifuku on the side. The latter received the ball and backed up Miyagi Ryouta, then turned around and shot a jump shot from mid-range.
Although Miyagi tried hard to block the opponent's shot, his physical disadvantage could not be compensated by hard work alone.
Da Zheng Sifu's shooting accuracy is good, the basketball goes directly into the net, and the offense and defense change again.
"That bastard! Damn it!" Miyagi Ryouta received the ball near the baseline, and while pushing forward with the basketball, he looked at the back of Omasa Shifuku who was running away, feeling angry.
This was not the first time that the opponent had hit him from behind. He had used the same method repeatedly in front of him and had been successful every time, which made Miyagi Ryouta feel insulted.
He wanted to try his best to stop the other party, but he couldn't do it. This made Gongcheng feel angry and powerless at the same time.
"Miyagi, don't take it to heart. There's no need to compare yourself with others in areas you're not good at."
"Your role on the court is not just defense."
"Let's go, start the attack!"
Mitsui Shou was a thoughtful person. He also noticed Miyagi's condition. He walked over to him, patted Miyagi's shoulder and comforted him, then ran towards the front court.
"Yes, Mitsui-senpai." Miyagi nodded heavily. Mitsui Hisashi was a senior he respected, and he greatly appreciated Mitsui's comfort.
Xiangbei High School began to advance, and Miyagi quickly passed the ball to Jinguji Budou after entering the frontcourt. The Xiangbei players already had a considerable degree of tacit understanding, and when Jinguji Budou got the basketball, Chiba Daishi in the interior quickly stepped forward and set a screen for Budou.
As a former starter of Takeishi Junior High School, Chiba has rich basketball experience. From the foul committed by Takasago just now, Chiba noticed Hainan's intention. He didn't want Takeshi to receive too much interference when attacking, so he thought about setting up a pick-and-roll to share the pressure on Takeshi.
Chiba Daishi set a pick and roll, and Jinguji Budou quickly broke through with the ball in the direction of Chiba's pick and roll. Takasago Kazuma was not fast to begin with, and after being blocked by Chiba, he was completely unable to keep up with Jinguji Budou. Even if he wanted to foul, he had no chance.
This time, Jinguji Budou, who had the opportunity, did not choose to shoot from mid-range. He planned to completely break through Hainan's inside line!
Jinguji Budou rushed to the basket, and just as Maekawa Daiki was about to step forward to defend, Akagi Takenori quickly blocked the opponent's position and slowed down the opponent's movement. At this time, only Omasa Shifuku was guarding the inside line of Hainan, and Maekawa Daiki was restricted to a certain extent, and he became the first person to face Jinguji Budou directly.
"Pah!" Jinguji Budo dribbled the ball past the free throw line, and then he took two steps, stomped on the ground, and jumped up, holding the basketball high, and glided towards the basket. The moment he stood up, Dazheng Shifu jumped up in front of him, and the two bodies collided violently in the air. At the same time, Budo's momentum weakened, and he had no way to rely on gliding to get close to the basket.
However, Jinguji Budo in the air suddenly changed his posture of catching the ball from catching the ball to dribbling the ball, and his arm directly passed over the head of Omasa Shifuku and sent the ball into the basket.
The difference in jumping ability and height between Omasa Shifuku and Jinguji Budou is really too big.
Omasa Shifu jumped with all his might, but he couldn't reach the basketball in Wudao's hand.
Seeing that he failed to intercept, Dazheng Sifu's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he slapped Wudao's forearm hard. However, before he slapped Wudao's hand, the basketball had already been sent out by Wudao and fell easily into the basket.
The martial artist who was hit on the forearm by Daisho Shifuku swung his arm, but his body did not show obvious imbalance. He landed very steadily and was affected very little.
“Beep!
”
At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded. Da Zheng's foul was not concealed at all, and the referee blew the whistle directly.
While Jinguji Budo's goal was valid, he once again stood on the free throw line.
"This time, the impact on Jinguji Budo is even greater than before. After the fierce physical confrontation, can he still make the free throw?!"
The folding fan in Coach Gaotou's hand had been closed at some point. At this moment, he held the folding fan tightly in one hand and placed the other hand on his knee, tightly grasping his trouser leg. Although his face was still calm, the tension in his heart was already reflected in his body movements.
On the court, Wudao stood on the free throw line and received the pass from the referee. He took a breath and adjusted himself, smiled at Omasa Shifuku, and then shot the ball.
There was a slight deviation in the power of martial arts, and the force was a little too strong, so the basketball hit the base of the basket, but when the basketball bounced again, it fell into the net.
Seeing the basketball go into the net again, everyone in Hainan became even more nervous.
Takeshi Jinguji looked unstoppable. Two consecutive fouls did not affect his shooting. For a moment, uneasy mood spread among the Hainan players. Takasago, who had poor psychological quality, even turned his head to look at coach Takato on the sidelines.
This second grader is panicking.
"Nice throw, Budo!"
"We scored a two-plus-one and widened our lead. We need to keep it up. We need to lead Hainan by 20 points before the second half!"
Mitsui was very happy to see Wudao scored two plus one. While encouraging Wudao, he also set goals for the players to boost the morale of the team.
"It seems that Gaotou's plan has failed!"
"There should be no suspense in this game. Hainan High School lost to Jinguji Budo."
In the stands, Coach Tiangang crossed his arms and said with a smile. The direction of the game was slightly beyond his expectations, but the result of the game was within Coach Tiangang's expectations.
I thought there would be a tough battle between Shohoku and Kainan, but I didn't expect that Jinguji Budo's personal ability was so terrifying that he widened the gap between the two teams by relying on singles.
In terms of the role of individual abilities in the team, Jinguji Budou is the undisputed ace. Even in their Ryonan, only Sendoh and Shinomiya Tano are capable of competing with them.
The players of Hainan in the stadium did not know that Ryonan's coach Tanaoka had sentenced them to death. However, after two consecutive losses, the players of Hainan also knew that the foul tactics would not have much effect on Jinguji Budo. All the players knew that they needed some changes.
"Captain, Takasago, leave the task of defending Jinguji Budo to me."
"Captain, Mitsui Shou, can you mark the defense?"
At this moment, Maki Shinichi suddenly spoke to his teammates.
"Um?!"
"Are you here to defend number 15..."
When Omasa Shifu heard Maki Shinichi's request, he rubbed his chin with a serious expression, looked into Maki Shinichi's eyes, and thought for a long time. He looked at the tall coach sitting on the sidelines, and then nodded.
Everyone in Hainan could see that the foul tactics arranged by Coach Gaotou might be of little use to Jinguji Budou. In the absence of a timeout, the players needed to judge and make adjustments on the situation on the field themselves.
Shinichi Maki is the team's strongest individual defender, so it is a good choice for him to defend the No. 15 of Xiangbei.
"good!"
"Amu, I'll leave number 15 to you!"
Dazheng Sifu was very decisive and immediately agreed to Maki Shinichi's request. The others didn't say anything more and organized to attack.
After Hainan dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, the player who finished the game was still Omasa Shifuku, but this time, he made some mistakes. Because Miyagi Ryouta increased the intensity of the defense, Omasa's shooting posture was somewhat deformed and the basketball went straight out of the rim.
Fortunately, Maekawa Daiki grabbed the rebound and passed the ball back to Omae, giving him a second chance. On the second shot, Omae was much more cautious and the ball went straight into the net.
"Rebounds! Pay attention to protecting the rebounds!" Kogure Konobu shouted loudly from the sidelines.
On the court, the offense and defense switched again. Miyagi Ryouta carried the ball all the way from the baseline to the front court. Just when he wanted to pass the ball to Jinguji Budou, he suddenly found that the defensive player in front of Jinguji Budou had changed! .
It was not the slow-moving Kazuma Takasago from Hainan, nor was it the No. 4 who had defended Jinguji Budo before, but a different person.
Maki Shinichi, Maki Shinichi from Hainan defends against Jinguji martial arts alone!
"Changed again? This time, it's you."
"I know you, Hainan's second-year ace, Shinichi Maki!"
Jinguji Wudao looked at the person in front of him and said with a smile. When he said this, Wudao felt his heart burning. Facing Maki Shinichi, he was more interested in fighting than before!
"Really..."
"I won't let you score easily again!"
Maki Shinichi smiled gently at first, but then his expression darkened and his brown face was full of seriousness.
"Miyagi, ball!" Jinguji Takeshi didn't waste any words. He turned around, leaned his back against Maki Shinichi, pushed backwards, and asked Miyagi Ryouta for the ball.
"Before I fight Shigong Tianye again, I will defeat you first!"
Jinguji Wudao murmured, watching the basketball quickly fly out of Miyagi Ryouta's hand, and then Wudao grabbed it with his right hand. After getting the basketball, Wudao didn't hesitate at all, and directly swept the ball and turned around.
The moment Wudao faced the basket, Maki Shinichi's center of gravity dropped sharply, and at the same time, he stretched out his right hand and directly grabbed the basketball in Wudao's hand. Maki Shinichi had been paying attention to Jinguji Wudao for a long time, and he had a good understanding of Wudao's offensive habits. Maki Shinichi knew very well that when Wudao turned around and faced the basket, it would be the best time to steal the ball!
But the next second, something unexpected happened to Shinichi Maki. Normally, Jinguji Budou would have less than a second to stop the ball and check the opponent's position when facing the basket. At this time, the basketball in Budou's hand did not move.
But when Wudao faced Maki Shinichi, he immediately took action the moment he turned around, and directly broke through with the ball. There was no pause at all between the movements.
"I know what kind of opponent I'm facing, but do you really know what kind of person I am?!"
Takeshi Jinguji flashed past Shinichi Maki, and Shinichi Maki, who was trying to grab the ball, was passed by Takeshi in the blink of an eye. The next second, Takeshi Jinguji, who got an open position, stepped on the three-point line, made a quick stop jump shot, and the basketball flew out of his hands quickly towards the basket.
“Ding~~”
The basketball flew out, and with a crisp sound of hitting iron, the basketball hit the back edge of the basket and bounced out. Wu Dao, who shot the ball, raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, but reacted quickly, and ran towards the basketball.
"I missed the shot. This guy failed to pretend!" Wudao cursed in his heart and quickly got to the basket with his extremely fast speed.
It was not surprising that Budou missed the shot, after all, it was a long shot, so it was normal to miss. However, although Akagi and Chiba were prepared, they were still trapped by Maekawa and Takasago. Even Jinguji Budou who wanted to cut into the inside could not occupy a good position.
The basketball fell and the rebound was firmly held by Daiki Maekawa.
"Fast break!" Maekawa Daiki shouted, raised the ball with both hands and threw it directly, but the basketball had just flown out of his hands when a black shadow suddenly jumped out from his side a few meters away, soared into the air, raised both hands, and actually picked the ball directly from the air.
"Jinguji Budo!"
"How is this possible?!"
Daiki Maekawa was shocked when he saw the person intercepting the basketball in front of him. Without waiting for his reaction, he made a small lob and put the ball directly into the basket.
"It's so high! Jinguji Budou jumped so high! He actually intercepted the ball."
"He was clearly shooting from the three-point line, and in the blink of an eye he was at the basket and intercepted Hainan's pass. The height of that ball was about 3.5 meters, right?!"
"Such jumping ability, such explosive power, this freshman from Xiangbei is really strong!"
The audience exclaimed in amazement and praised him. Jinguji Budou, who had accomplished all this, shook his head and began to defend, muttering:
"He missed such an open shot. It was a low-level mistake that shouldn't have been made."
"Practice 100 turnaround jump shots every day when you get back. If you can't make these open shots, it will be even harder to make them when we play against Shinomiya Tano."
