Although Jinguji Budo's provocation was clumsy, the effect was unusually good. Shinomiya Tano was obviously not the kind of person who would swallow a loss. When it came to Ryonan's offensive round, he waved his arms to his teammates in the backcourt, signaling Uekusa to give him the ball.
The players of Ryonan obviously knew Shimonoseki's temperament. When they saw the latter asking for the ball, they immediately gave the basketball to the opponent. Shimonoseki quickly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball without waiting for Yuzumi and others who moved more slowly to get into position.
When Shinomiya entered the frontcourt with the ball, only Sendoh and Uekusa were in position on the Ryonan side, while Uozumi and Ikegami were not yet in position. However, Shinomiya did not intend to wait for the center and power forward of his team to be in position. After crossing the midline, he continued to move forward quickly towards the three-point line.
"Angry, this guy looks angry!"
"The opportunity has come. If we seize the last few moments of the first half, we will hopefully be able to increase the score difference to more than 10 points!"
Although Shigong Tianye's face was expressionless, Wudao could clearly feel his opponent's mood when he dribbled the ball. Shigong Tianye's playing style was no longer as calm as before. Although he mostly attacked alone in the first half, he would at least pay attention to whether there were teammates helping to grab rebounds under the basket when he was alone.
The opponent's players who were supposed to grab the rebounds haven't even taken position yet, but they are already rushing to attack, obviously wanting to get the ball back quickly.
"Miyagi, come and help defend!"
On the court, there is really no need for the Jianghu code to exist. Martial arts will not foolishly play one-on-one with the opponent. Basketball, after all, is a multiplayer sport!
Following Budou's shout, Miyagi Ryouta ignored Uesusa Tomoyuki and quickly ran towards Shinomiya Tano. At this time, Shinomiya Tano was still about two meters away from the three-point line, while Jinguji Budou stood inside the three-point line with no intention of going up.
There was still some distance between the two, and Miyagi Ryouta, who came to assist in defense, wanted to take the initiative to attack, test it out, and let Budou defend after him. Miyagi's idea was also very simple, even if he was passed by Shigong Tianye, Jinguji Budou would be able to defend in the first place, and then he would turn around and form a double team with Jinguji Budou, which would definitely strangle Shigong Tianye to death.
With this plan in mind, Miyagi Ryouta quickly ran towards Shinomiya Tano, but as he was moving, Shinomiya Tano suddenly passed the ball to Sendoh at the top of the arc, who then started quickly, instantly passed Miyagi Ryouta, and ran towards the bottom corner along the three-point line.
The opponent's action was obviously beyond the expectations of both Takeshi and Miyagi. Miyagi, who was assisting in defense, saw the opponent pass the ball and after a brief thought, he did not chase after it. Instead, he ran towards Sendoh, intending to help Mitsui Shou encircle Sendoh.
When Jinguji Budou saw the opponent pass the ball and run, he immediately followed and stuck behind Shigong Tianye. If Budou Shigong Tianye with the ball could still be blocked a little, then Shigong Tianye without the ball would be unstoppable. Shigong Tianye is very strong and can exert his strength to the maximum when he is without the ball.
Wudao just tried to trap the opponent outside the three-point line, but after being knocked back by the opponent, he no longer had such an idea. Instead, he stayed closely beside the opponent, making it impossible for the opponent to receive the ball comfortably.
"Hey, is your way of getting back on track to pass the ball?"
Shigong Tianye shuttled across the court from the bottom corner to the other side, and then stopped at the bottom corner for a while. Jinguji Budou took advantage of the moment to stop and provoked him again. Shigong Tianye turned his head and glanced at Budou, and suddenly smiled.
"You... seem to be afraid of me passing the ball?!" Shimono was indeed very angry at the beginning and wanted to get back on track quickly, but while he was advancing with the ball, he inadvertently glanced at the scoreboard. The score and the remaining time in the first half immediately calmed him down.
After calming down, Shinomiya Tano immediately examined Jinguji Takeshi's behavior just now and immediately guessed Takeshi's plan.
You should never do what your enemy wants you to do.
Although Shimoya Tano was full of confidence in his own strength, he did not want to follow the idea of martial arts. He decisively passed the ball to Sendo and started to move.
"It's not that I'm afraid, I'm just a little disappointed."
"I didn't expect you to be sober."
Upon hearing this, Wu Dao shook his head slightly and said casually that he had underestimated Shigong Tianye after all. Although the other party was a young man, he did not seem to be aggressive.
Shinomiya Tianye did not answer. At this time, Sendoh was double-teamed by Miyagi and Mitsui Shou. He held the ball in his arms with both hands and did not dribble or pass the ball immediately. Shinomiya Tianye only stopped in the bottom corner for a short while, and then quickly ran to the high position on the same side.
When Shigong Tianye came to the high position, he suddenly stopped running, staggered his legs, leaned against the basket and stretched out his arms to ask for the ball. Although Jinguji Budou was following behind the opponent, he was unable to get around to defend immediately because the opponent suddenly asked for position.
Sendoh has a very good passing awareness. Although he is facing the defense of Miyagi and Mitsui Hisashi, Sendoh, who is nearly 190cm tall, can pass the ball quite easily and directly lob the ball to Shinomiya Tano.
Wu Dao was trapped by Shigong Tianye and had no way to intercept the ball. He could only lower his center of gravity and prepare for the opponent's breakthrough.
"Snap!" With a light sound, the basketball was in hand, Shigong Tianye grabbed the ball with one hand, and quickly turned and broke through. As soon as he dropped the ball, Jinguji Budou blocked the opponent's way with a sliding step. Budou, who was blocking in front of Shigong Tianye, held his breath in his chest, ready to meet Shigong Tianye's impact, but the next second, Shigong Tianye, who was breaking through with the ball, made an emergency stop and directly threw the ball out.
"A high-post pull-up jump shot near the three-point line?"
"How can this guy shoot a ball like that?!"
Shimono's offensive choice made Wudao stunned. He subconsciously turned his head to look at the basket. However, the next second after he turned his head to look at the basket, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.
A young boy wearing the No. 8 Ryonan team uniform quickly passed him and rushed towards the basket.
"This guy!" The moment he saw Shigong Tianye's figure, Wudao reacted and quickly chased after him, while loudly reminding Akagi:
"Rebound! Akagi, rebound!"
There was no need for Takenori Akagi under the basket to be reminded by martial arts. Although Shinomiya Tano's shooting choice was also beyond his expectations, it did not prevent him from competing with Jun Uozumi for the rebound.
Under the basket, Takenori Akagi and Jun Uozumi were huddled together, both trying to push the other away from the inside. In terms of strength, Uozumi was slightly better than Akagi, so Akagi was at a disadvantage in terms of positioning.
"Ding~" As expected, the quick stop jump shot in that position was not the offensive method that Shigong Tianye was good at. As the basketball hit the edge of the basket with a slight sound, a wailing sound was heard from the stands.
"It's okay! I'm here!" Under the basket, Jun Yuzumi aimed at the landing point of the basketball, squeezed Akagi's space and occupied the best position. As the basketball fell, Jun Yuzumi shouted loudly and jumped towards the basketball.
At the same time, Shimonoseki's figure had also arrived at the basket. Although he did not occupy a good position to grab the rebound, relying on the power of the sprint, Shimonoseki's palm had already surpassed that of Jun Uozumi who jumped first.
"Don't get in the way!" Sigong Tianye's face was grim, and he murmured, and he actually grabbed the ball before Yuzumi. And Sigong Tianye's momentum did not decrease, gliding towards the basket.
"Bang!" Shinomiya Tano's body hit Yuzumi Jun's, but his body shape in the air did not undergo any major changes because of the collision with Yuzumi.
Sigong Tianye grabbed the ball with one hand, raised his arm slightly, and slammed the ball into the basket.
However, just as Shimono's arm fell, a hand appeared from the other side and pressed on the basketball from the side.
"Jinguji Martial Arts, is that enough for you?!" Shigong Tianye glanced at him and the strength in his hand suddenly increased a bit.
Although Jinguji Budou realized it later, he still saw through Shigong Tianye's trick of throwing and stealing the ball. He also reacted immediately and caught up with Shigong Tianye. Jinguji Budou's explosive power and jumping ability are also very strong, but due to Yuzumi's presence, he couldn't block the shot from the front and could only block from the side.
Moreover, the hand used to block the shot was only his left hand, and his position was really awkward.
"snort!"
Wu Dao's block had no effect on Shigong Tianye. Although Wu Dao's hand touched the basketball, the power of Shigong Tianye's dunk was extremely terrifying. The path of the basketball didn't even change. Shigong Tianye dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.
His teammate Yuzumi even stumbled forward a few steps after landing, and then he could barely stand. And Wudao, who failed to block, also stumbled two steps after landing, with a look of surprise on his face.
"It actually worked?! Didn't Jinguji Budo clearly already have the upper limit?!"
"What a powerful force! Shinomiya Tano's power is too strong, Jinguji's martial arts block is completely ineffective!"
"That kid is so scary. He can easily dunk the ball over a two-meter-tall man's head!"
As Shimoya Tano dunked the ball, the audience in the stands became agitated, and the amazing cheers formed waves and surged towards the court.
"You really caught up with me. If it weren't for that guy Yuzumi, you should have been able to appear in front of me."
"What a pity. You would have gotten a taste of being dunked anyway."
Shigong Tianye grabbed the basket and fell back to the ground two seconds later. He tilted his head to look at Jinguji Budo and said with a look of regret. Yuzumi beside him also heard his words clearly and wiped the sweat from his face with embarrassment.
"It's a pity indeed. If this guy hadn't been in the way, I would have already knocked you to the ground."
Wudao glanced at Yuzumi and replied calmly. He would not lose to anyone in terms of talking skills. Even if Jordan's mouth cannon stood in front of him today, he would definitely not lose!
Shigong Tianye didn't reply and started running back. He didn't say anything to Yuzumi and started to defend on his own. It can be seen that even though Shigong Tianye dunked the ball himself, he still didn't feel completely happy.
"It seems that if we want to arouse his interest in singles, we just need to work a little harder." Wu Dao looked at Shigong Tianye who was leaving and a smile appeared on his face.
There are still 54 seconds left, and Wudao plans to suppress the offensive rhythm.
Xiangbei kicked off, and Miyagi had just received the ball when he saw Wudao not far away making a downward gesture to him. Miyagi understood and took the ball without any hurry. He took the time to dribble the ball across half court. It took Miyagi five seconds to cross half court. After crossing half court, Miyagi stood near the midline and had no intention of continuing to advance.
At this moment, the players of Ryonan had already taken their positions, and the man-to-man defense stuck to the players of Shohoku as they ran all over the court.
The only person defending Miyagi was Tomoyuki Uekusa, and no one double-teamed him. Under Uekusa's defense, Miyagi dribbled the ball quite freely, controlling it neither hurriedly nor slowly, and did not give Uekusa any chance to steal the ball.
It was not until half of the 30-second offensive time had passed that Budou asked Akagi for an off-ball pick-and-roll, and quickly moved to the high position to ask Miyagi for the ball.
Seeing that Wudao had a brief open space, Miyagi broke through and passed the ball smoothly to Wudao.
Tomoyuki Uekusa's restrictions on Miyagi Ryouta were too small, which made it very easy for Miyagi to fight.
Wudao held the ball in a high position, slightly bent over, holding the rim with both hands. The basketball was at Wudao's waist, his feet were together, and there was no obvious tendency to rush forward.
"Here they come!" Shinomiya Tano stood in front of Wudao and spread his arms to defend himself.
Although there were only 15 seconds left in the attack time, Wudao was not in a hurry to attack. He stood still with the ball. Shinomiya Tianye was also patient and only tentatively interfered with Wudao's dribbling. He had no intention of flying to steal the ball. He was also waiting for Wudao to drop the ball and attack.
10 seconds.
Takeshi noticed the time out of the corner of his eye. He suddenly straightened his bent body and raised the ball with both hands to make a shooting motion. However, Shinomiya Tano was not moved at all. He knew that Takeshi Jinguji would never shoot a three-pointer at this time. Wasn't it just to run out of time and not let Ryonan have any extra time to attack by wasting so much time
Sure enough, Wudao, who was holding the ball, saw that Shigong Tianye didn't move, so he put the ball down again. However, at this moment, Shigong Tianye suddenly moved, and with his right hand raised horizontally, he saw the position where Wudao dropped the ball and quickly made a shot to steal it. It was obviously a good opportunity, but Jinguji Wudao suddenly raised the ball again, made a mistake in his steps, and quickly stood up and rushed forward as the ball fell.
"It's a trap!" Shimonoseki slid and chased after him, knowing what was going on. At the same time, he gave Wudao some physical contact while chasing him, preventing Wudao from controlling the ball comfortably.
After advancing less than two meters, Wudao stopped after a back dribble. He did not break through, but dribbled the ball between his legs while retreating, and once again returned to the three-point line.
3 seconds.
With 3 seconds left on the offensive time, Takeshi Jinguji broke through with the ball again, and this time, his speed was faster than before. In the blink of an eye, he was already on par with Shinomiya Tano. Just when Shinomiya Tano was about to chase him, Takeshi Jinguji suddenly stopped, took a side step to distance himself from Shinomiya Tano, stood outside the three-point line, and made a shooting gesture.
"Step back and three-pointer?! Tian Ye, don't foul!"
Coach Tanaoka shouted in the audience, reminding him. It was clear that Wudao was going for the final buzzer, and Shigong Tianye knew it, so when Wudao stepped back, he reacted immediately, jumped up and rushed towards Wudao.
However, Wu Dao, who was holding the ball, suddenly put it away, a smile of success appeared on his face, and he jumped up to shoot towards the jumping Shinomiya Tano.
The two bodies collided in the air. Although Shinomiya Tano's strength was excellent, Wudao was obviously prepared. The violent body collision did not affect Wudao's shooting posture. Wudao used his right hand as a ball protector and held the ball with his left hand. His hands first touched Shinomiya Tano's arms before he shot.
It looked as if Budo was deliberately projected towards Shinomiya Field.
The basketball flew out of Wudao's hands, and at the same time, the referee's sharp whistle sounded.
But now everyone was not looking at the referee, but at the basketball flying towards the basket.
"My left hand! I haven't practiced it well!"
Wu Dao murmured as he looked at the path the basketball had taken.
However, the next second, the basketball hit the backboard and bounced directly into the net.
