Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Experience at Xiangbei

Chapter 156: The way to become stronger!

Views:

Wudao's eyes twitched slightly, he didn't expect that he actually missed the open shot. In normal training, he could shoot 10 shots like this and make seven or eight of them without any problem. If he was in good shape, it was not impossible to make 10 out of 10, but he actually missed it today.

"Sure enough, the person has woken up, but the body hasn't."

The missed open three-pointer cost Jinguji Budou the right to attack. Mu Mu and Haruko, who were watching the game on the sidelines, were also stunned. They both knew basketball and knew how rare Budou's mistake was. On the contrary, Sakuragi Hanamichi looked very excited and cheered for Akagi Takenori loudly.

"Gorilla! Come on!"

Sakuragi's "nickname" for Akagi Takenori made Akagi's face turn black. He glared at Sakuragi Hanamichi fiercely, walked silently to the basket, picked up the basketball and walked towards the three-point line.

Wudao pressed his neck with his hands, then pinched his arms, and walked towards Akagi while shaking his arms to loosen his joints.

"Akagi, seize the opportunity."

"There won't be many opportunities like this."

Wudao leaned down slightly in front of Akagi Takenori and said with a smile. He did not mean to mock him at all. The purpose of saying this to Akagi Takenori was just to hope that Akagi could take this offensive opportunity seriously.

After all, he didn't want to waste time with Akagi, even if it was just the time of a duel.

"Don't worry, I never underestimated you!" Akagi Takenori handed the ball to Jinguji Budou in front of him and said. Jinguji Budou took the basketball and bent slightly, passing the ball to Akagi. He did not use the most accustomed hand-touch defense, but kept a distance of nearly half a meter between him and Akagi to defend Akagi.

Akagi Takenori is not capable of long-range shooting, which is something that Budo knows very well. When dealing with Akagi, there is no need to worry about Akagi shooting from this position. Even before Akagi enters the paint area, Budo does not need to be on guard against Akagi Takenori's shooting. Akagi's shooting range is destined to make him completely at a disadvantage in a one-on-one fight.

"Pah!" Akagi Takenori threw the ball behind his back and pushed forward with his heavy body. A few meters away from the three-point line, Akagi Takenori had already started to play one-on-one with his back. This offensive method made Jinguji Budo and the people on the sidelines stunned.

Rough, so rough!

The biggest advantage of post-up singles is that it uses high-intensity post-up power to increase the distance between the attacker and the defender. Once the offensive and defensive sides are able to create a suitable distance, the offensive side with the ball can choose to turn around and break through, break through in disguise after turning around, or directly turn around and jump shot, etc.

Generally speaking, the most suitable attack distance for post-up skills is within the three-point line, and the attacker must have a certain shooting ability. If it is a big center, a super rough guy, this technique can only be used under the basket.

The fact that Takenori Akagi used his back-to-the-basket position meant that Wu Dao had enough defensive reach to adapt to Akagi's offensive intensity and rhythm. Such a long distance was enough for Wu Dao to determine Akagi's offensive trend and defend accordingly.

"Bang!"

Akagi Takenori's back slammed hard against Jinguji Takenori's chest, and the violent impact caused Takenori to retreat half a step. As the defender, Jinguji Takenori was in a passive position and did not retreat much. In other words, Akagi Takenori's strength was not much stronger than Jinguji Takenori's. If he was a qualified player, he would be able to see the power gap between the two sides after one impact and would not continue to choose such an offensive method.

But Akagi, in this position, has no other means of attack.

"Bang!" Akagi dribbled the ball again and then quickly turned around with the ball as if to break through, but when he broke through, Takeshi's position did not retreat too much because of his back-to-back attack. Therefore, although Akagi Takenori turned around quickly and broke through with the ball, Takeshi still caught up with Akagi in an instant and slapped the basketball directly from behind Akagi Takenori.

"Snap!" With a slight sound, Takenori Akagi lost control of the basketball.

Wudao took two steps forward and easily controlled the ball in his hand. He tossed the ball with his right hand and looked at Akagi with a smile.

"Damn it!" Akagi looked at the basketball in Wudao's hand and cursed unwillingly. His curse was not directed at Wudao, he was just annoyed that he was easily intercepted by Jinguji Wudao.

"Although the post-up singles skill is very basic, Akagi, your use of it is too crude."

"When you're attacking, you don't even see the effect of your back-to-the-basket attack and you blindly turn around and break through. It's only natural that the ball will be intercepted."

Wu Dao said as he walked towards the three-point line with the ball. Akagi didn't walk far before Wu Dao intercepted the ball, so Wu Dao came to the kick-off position in a few steps and threw the ball to Akagi Takenori.

"Let me teach you how to use the post-up play!"

Wudao said, hooking his finger at Akagi. Akagi Tsunehiko came to Wudao with a frown on his face. He felt a little uncomfortable with what Jinguji Wudao said, but he didn't complain. He quickly passed the ball to Wudao and leaned forward to be on guard.

“The defensive attitude is pretty good.”

"Although my skills are a little rough, if I practice hard, it is not impossible for me to fight with Ohkawada for a few rounds in the future."

Wudao sighed inwardly, and quickly turned his back with the ball. Just like Akagi Takenori's attack just now, he hit Akagi Takenori's chest with his back.

"Bang!" With a muffled sound, Akagi Takenori's expression became somewhat interesting. The pain in his chest and the unconscious retreat of his body both showed that Jinguji's martial arts power was quite strong. Akagi Takenori had never thought that Jinguji's martial arts power was actually so strong? !

Just as Akagi Takenori was concentrating on preparing for the next collision, Jinguji Takenori leaned back slightly, took advantage of the inertia of his body, took a wrong step, turned his back and quickly passed Akagi Takenori. In Akagi's eyes, he only felt Jinguji Takenori's figure flash and then disappeared in front of him.

When Akagi turned his head to look at Jinguji Takeshi, Takeshi had not passed him much, which meant that although Takeshi's breakthrough speed seemed very fast, it was actually not so fast that the defensive players could not stop it.

Akagi also didn't know why Jinguji Budo's speed when he turned was so fast, but his actual speed was so fast that even he could keep up with it.

Akagi didn't have time to think. As Wudao crossed the three-point line, his threat increased exponentially. About one meter inside the three-point line, Akagi finally stopped Wudao in front of him, not daring to let Wudao move forward even a step.

Jinguji Budou obviously had no intention of forcing an attack. He dribbled the ball at a slightly slower speed and quickly turned his back to the basket when he came in front of Akagi. Different position, same back to the basket. The defending Akagi Dokong shrank slightly and took the initiative to stick to Budou, holding his hands high, not wanting Budou to have a chance to turn around and jump shot.

But Takeshi's next move was beyond Akagi's expectations again. With his back to Akagi, Takeshi Jinguji actually caught the ball directly in this situation. With a beautiful shoulder shake, he took a big step, turned around and lifted the ball.

Seeing Takeshi posing for a shot, Akagi hesitated for half a second and jumped to block the shot. At the moment Akagi jumped, Takeshi Jinguji's pivot foot did not move, but turned back immediately. The two of them instantly opened up a distance of nearly two meters, and Takeshi Jinguji once again got a wide open position.

With an open position, Jinguji Budou did not hesitate and took a jump shot directly.

This time, his shot did not miss, and the basketball hit the backboard directly into the net with a slight sound.

"Wow... so amazing!" Akagi Haruko clasped her hands tightly together, looking at Jinguji Takeshi in a trance. Akagi Haruko had seen Jinguji Takeshi play basketball, and she knew that Jinguji Takeshi was very strong, but now seeing Takeshi's smooth footwork and shooting, she still exclaimed in amazement.

Just looking at this round, anyone with a discerning eye can see the gap between Akagi and Jinguji Budou. Akagi Takenori's defense in these rounds was basically led by Jinguji Budou, giving people the feeling that he really was like a stupid gorilla, with poor and clumsy defense. He was easily played by Jinguji Budou.

"Gorilla is no match for Brother Wudao. The gap in strength between the two is too big!"

Even the novice Sakuragi shook his head. Although he didn't have much experience, it was still easy to score in a one-on-one duel. Akagi had difficulty attacking and was clumsy in defense, while Jinguji Budo had ease in attacking and defense. When the two were compared, the difference was obvious.

"This guy Takeshita went too far." Kogure Mitsunobu looked at Akagi Takenori with some concern. Jinguji Takeshita didn't hold back at all. Akagi was completely defeated on both offense and defense. In fact, there was no need to compete in the next game, everyone could predict the result.

Moreover, under Wudao's attack, Akagi's tall stature was completely useless. The defensive fig leaf on which Akagi relied for survival was completely torn off by Jinguji Wudao.

I don't know when it started, but Takenori Akagi has already gotten used to using his tall stature and good athletic ability to defend. He has never trained to read the opponent's offensive bias and gain experience in matchups.

"Come again!" Akagi shouted, taking the lead in taking the defensive position. Wudao turned his head and smiled, picked up the basketball by himself, and came to the old place.

"You are not good at dribbling, you are weak in chasing and defending, your steps are loose, your reactions are slow, and none of your moves are decent!"

"Just you? You still want to compete with me?"

"Dream on!"

Akagi Takenori's serious attitude also completely inspired Jinguji Budo's fighting spirit. He was not afraid of his opponent being weak, but was afraid of his opponent losing his spirit. Akagi's unyielding attitude also made Budo completely excited, and his body muscles also quickly awakened.

The basketball was given to Akagi and then passed back to the hands of Takenori Jinguji. This time, Takenori Jinguji did not let up. After receiving the ball, he did not even make a fake move. He broke through directly. In the blink of an eye, he passed Akagi Takenori's defense, and with his terrifying speed, he left Akagi behind and easily broke into the basket and scored a dunk.

Without any extra words, after scoring the goal, Jinguji Budou directly picked up the basketball, walked outside the three-point line, and threw the ball to Akagi.

The moment he received the return pass again, Wudao used the same trick again, directly dropped the ball and broke through. This time, Akagi Takenori finally made some progress and was ready early. As soon as Wudao showed signs of starting, he immediately blocked Wudao's right side and prevented Wudao from advancing.

But Wudao's change came very quickly. He was clearly breaking through at high speed. At the moment when Akagi moved his body, Wudao did not slow down and changed direction, and once again passed Akagi and rushed to the basket. Although Akagi tried hard to chase and defend, he could not keep up with Wudao's speed and could only watch Wudao dunk.

One ball.

Another goal.

The so-called one-on-one bullfighting turned into Jinguji Budo's personal show time.

Akagi Takenori was passed by Takenori again and again, and he chased after Takenori Jinguji and watched him dunk again and again. The one-sided brutal crushing made Haruko, who was worried about Akagi Takenori, unable to bear to watch any more.

"elder brother... .."

Haruko wanted to stop such a match, as she felt that such a bullfight would only hurt her brother's self-esteem and would be useless. But just as Haruko was about to speak out to stop it, Sakuragi Hanamichi put his hand on Haruko's shoulder and shook his head gently.

"Sakuragi?" Haruko turned her head to look at Sakuragi in confusion, her eyes already becoming crystal clear, as if tears would flow out in the next second.

"The gorilla hasn't given up yet, has he?!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi became extremely serious at this time. His angular face, without any funny attributes, actually looked quite handsome at this moment.

Sakuragi's obstruction made Haruko hesitate, and this hesitation lasted for more than ten minutes.

Sudden.

"Bang!" There was a loud noise in the court. Akagi's huge body lost balance and fell near the three-point line. He grabbed his calves tightly with both hands and had a ferocious look. It seemed that he was overworked and had cramps.

Jinguji Budou didn't even look at Akagi, he rushed into the basket and scored a layup.

The two of them had no idea how many balls they had played. Akagi Takenori had not fully recovered from yesterday's fatigue, and the duel with Budo had forced him to constantly push himself to increase his pace. But the body has a limit, and when your mind is faster than your body, your body can't keep up.

As fatigue accumulates and the body cannot keep up with consciousness, it is not uncommon to have leg cramps and fall down.

After Wudao scored the goal, he turned his head and looked at Akagi Takenori who was holding his calf on the ground, and breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that this duel was over.

When Kogure Mitsunobu saw that Akagi was cramping, he immediately ran into the court, bent Akagi's legs and helped him stretch. Sakuragi Hanamichi was not idle either. He also ran into the court and imitated Kogure to stretch Akagi's other leg that was not cramped.

"Brother, are you okay?!" Haruko ran into the field and asked about Akagi's condition with concern.

However, Akagi, who was lying on the ground, raised his head and looked at Jinguji Budo who had already approached, and asked:

"How can I become stronger?!"

Sakuragi was stunned by what Akagi Takenori said. He didn't understand why Akagi was still thinking about getting stronger and playing basketball. Haruko couldn't hold back her tears at this moment. She felt that her brother's efforts over the years were like feeding a dog in front of Jinguji Budo. She didn't understand whether her brother's persistence over the years was meaningful.

"How to become stronger? Don't you already know?!"

Wudao looked down at the ground below him, glanced at Akagi deeply, and then walked towards the rest area.

"I have something else to do today, so I won't continue practicing with you."

"Akagi, have a good rest. Don't let it affect the game against Ryonan later."

While packing his things, Takeshi Jinguji spoke to Akagi and others. Then, after packing his things, Takeshi Jinguji left the gym.

"Know? Know what?" Sakuragi Hanamichi waited until Takeshi left before coming back to his senses. He looked at Haruko in confusion, while Haruko shook her head and looked at Murasaki. Murasaki looked confused and looked at Akagi who was lying on the floor.

Akagi looked thoughtfully towards the center circle.

There have been huge changes in the defensive position.

Wudao attacked so many times, and it was not the first time that Akagi was knocked down. He vaguely remembered that the first time he was knocked down was about two meters away from the three-point line, where Wudao received the ball and attacked.

After more than an hour of confrontation, Akagi's defensive position had become deeper.
