"Wow.....what an amazing slam dunk!"
"He passed the opponent in one step and then dunked? Is this guy really a high school student?"
"Amazing! Amazing! Is this Jinguji Budo, one of the Kanagawa Twin Stars?"
After a long period of silence, the audience finally broke the silence, and then exclamations came from the stands. The stadium, which was a little quiet a second ago, immediately became lively and noisy at this moment.
Amid the cheers of the audience, Takeshi Jinguji let go of the basket and fell to the ground. Listening to the praises and discussions of the people around him, a smile appeared on Takeshi's face.
He rarely dunks on the court. His best scoring methods in the past were mid-range and long-range shots, or using his footwork to get a gap under the basket, and then... shooting. Dunking is only an occasional thing.
But during this period of time, he has also been trying to change his offensive style, and Touou High School is actually the first touchstone after he changed his playing style. Looking at the stunned expressions of Nan Lie and other Touou players, combined with the reactions of the audience, Wu Dao knew that his offensive effect was quite good and should be able to effectively hit Touou's momentum.
On the way back to defend, Wu Dao passed by Nan Lie and stopped briefly.
"Nan Lie, you need to be more serious about defense. I don't feel any pressure right now."
"Give me some pressure, don't let me break through so easily!"
Wu Dao left two words in Nan Lie's ear, and then returned to the field with his teammates to defend. Hearing this, Nan Lie Tong Kong shrank slightly, his expression was unprecedentedly solemn. He knew that their Fengyu High School had encountered a terrifying opponent today.
However, the most ridiculous thing is that such an opponent, such a team, is actually just a B-level team, and Touou High School had not done any research on Shohoku before.
However, Nan Lie also knew that regret would not have any effect now. What they had to do now was to find a way to score points. At the same time, Fengyu also needed to respond quickly.
Nan Lie knew very well that he could not stop Jinguji Budo's attack by relying on his own strength.
With just one ball, he had already glimpsed the strength of Jinguji Budo!
"Zone defense, let go of the short guy from Xiangbei, outside, just guard the shot of No. 4 and No. 15."
"Kishimoto, go guard No. 4 on the outside. He has good height and athleticism. Go deal with him."
"I'm going to defend the guy who just dunked."
"You have to pay attention to the backup defense and get into position early. That guy has a strong impact force. If you are slow in getting into position, you will definitely be broken."
"Also, we urgently need to speed up and play fast."
Nan Lie quickly regained his composure, and while directing his players, he ran towards the front court. The players of Touou also woke up from their shock. They were also players who had seen some of the world. Although Jinguji Budo's dunk was powerful, it was not enough to defeat them all.
Fengyu High School quickly started to play basketball. After receiving the instructions, Fengyu players not only served the ball faster, but also passed the basketball to each other in the front court. Although the rhythm was faster, Fengyu's overall offense was still very methodical, and there was no chaos due to the speed increase.
Moreover, Touou's offensive targets were very accurate. The continuous conduction was only to mobilize the defense of Jinguji Takeshi and Mitsui Hisashi, giving Nan Lie the opportunity to rely on his teammates' pick-and-roll and quick passes to get a one-on-one opportunity with Miyagi Ryouta.
The breakthrough point of the Shohoku defense is undoubtedly Miyagi Ryouta, who is less than 170cm tall!
The continuous transmission finally allowed Nan Lie to seize the opportunity of mismatch. Nan Lie, who received the ball in the high position, faced the defense of Miyagi Ryouta without any scruples. He got up and broke through directly, using his physical advantage to break through the defense of Miyagi Ryouta and entered the mid-range. Then, facing Miyagi's raised arms, he made a small lob shot and scored the ball.
Although Miyagi Ryouta had tried hard enough in defense, his disadvantages were infinitely magnified when facing a player of Nan Lie's level. The speed he was proud of was not a bargaining chip to stop his attack in front of Nan Lie. Although Miyagi was fast, he was not fast enough to crush Nan Lie.
"As expected, the target is Miyagi..."
"These guys are so accurate in finding the location!"
Wu Dao, who was unable to make up for the defense, saw Nan Lie shoot over Miyagi's head and his face turned ugly. As he expected, the guys from Touou High School saw Miyagi Ryouta as a breakthrough point and were ready to attack this point. And Touou's continuous pick-and-roll made Wu Dao feel helpless.
Although no one on the Xiangbei side's defense was out of position, misalignment was inevitable during the defensive rotation process.
If there was anyone to blame, it could only be because Gong Cheng had no way of stopping Nan Lie for even two seconds. If he had not been broken through so quickly, Wu Dao would have been able to provide backup defense in the first place.
"We must hurry up, otherwise, Gongcheng's mentality will be affected."
Wudao glanced at Miyagi Ryouta. The opponent scored continuously over his head, which made Miyagi look very bad. He had never felt inferior because of his height. On this court, Miyagi Ryouta was always one of the most confident people.
He also saw through Toyotama's intention. Being used as a breakthrough point was something that the proud Miyagi could never accept.
"Damn those bastards!"
Miyagi gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart. After receiving Akagi's serve, he silently pushed the ball forward. He might not have noticed that he was pushing the ball too fast. Akagi Takenori hadn't even crossed the center line yet, but he, the defender, had already crossed the center line.
However, Xiangbei had no chance to launch a fast break. After entering the frontcourt, Miyagi immediately passed the ball to Jinguji Budou, without paying any attention to whether Akagi entered the inside.
The change in the rhythm of Xiangbei's attack was very subtle, but the smile on Coach Anxi's face was gone. He was watching Xiangbei's attack expressionlessly. But it was often this expressionless face that was the most terrifying. Coach Anxi was definitely in a bad mood.
"Kumure-san."
Coach Anxi turned around and called out to Mu Mu. After the latter noticed his call, he gave a calm order:
"Go do some warm-up."
The latter was stunned when he heard this, but still nodded, took off his coat, put on a wrist guard, and started doing warm-up exercises in a corner of the rest area.
In the court, Jinguji Budo who got the basketball did not start the attack immediately. Miyagi passed the ball a little too early, Akagi Takenori had not yet got into position, and there was still a lot of time left for the attack, so there was no need to rush the attack.
Budou was dribbling the ball about two steps outside the three-point line, waiting for Akagi to get into position while observing Touou's defense.
"Zone defense, taking myself out of the paint... It's to prevent the long shots from me and Xiao San."
"There's nothing wrong with the defensive arrangement, but the premise is that you can stop me from shooting."
Akagi took his place, Wudao retracted his gaze and looked at Nan Lie in front of him. At this time, Nan Lie was bending his waist and staring at Wudao. His center of gravity was very low. From his appearance, he was going to defend Wudao's breakthrough in this position. As for the ultra-long three-pointer and pass, Nan Lie didn't even want to block it.
"Nice defensive stance!"
"decent."
While Wu Dao was speaking, he suddenly lowered his center of gravity, quickly changed the rhythm of his dribbling, and started to break through to his right side. Without any unnecessary movements, Wu Dao leaned sideways and directly pressed against Nan Lie. The moment his huge body pressed against Nan Lie's side, Nan Lie was forced to give way.
There are no fancy techniques, only absolute speed and power.
In the blink of an eye, Wu Dao was already level with Nan Lie, and the next second, he had passed Nan Lie. Wu Dao, who rushed into the inside quickly, quickly attracted the attention of the inside players of Feng Yu. The center of the opponent immediately appeared in Wu Dao's path and raised his arms to intercept.
However, Wudao, who had successfully broken through, had no intention of going any further this time. He imitated Nan Lie's offensive technique and threw the ball directly from mid-range with a small lob.
The basketball flew over the head of the Toyotama center, hit the small frame of the backboard accurately, and bounced into the basket.
Sharp breakthrough, easy goal.
Touou High School, which had just caught up with two points, lost the score again in the blink of an eye.
However, Touou High School had no intention of giving up and went straight to the baseline.
Wudao didn't even have time to celebrate with his teammates, and hurried back to the court to defend under the pursuit of Touou. However, Touou's fast break was very sudden, and Akagi and Chiba didn't even return to the court immediately. After Nan Lie received the ball from the outside, he faked a breakthrough and passed the ball to Kishimoto Misaki who cut into the inside, and Kishimoto scored a layup.
Akagi and Chiba were a little annoyed for not returning to defense in time, but they also learned their lesson.
Just as Touou scored, Miyagi Ryouta quickly passed the ball to Mitsui. Mitsui was also influenced by Miyagi's quick serve and Touou's offensive rhythm, and quickly crossed the half court with the ball. Then, without waiting for other teammates to arrive, he directly chased the defender and shot a three-pointer.
Mitsui's touch was excellent today, and this hastily chased three-pointer actually went straight into the net.
However, before the audience could exclaim, Touou High School had already begun to fight back.
However, this time, although Toyotama still got a chance to play in a mismatch, Nan Lie's shot was disturbed by Miyagi Ryouta who jumped hard. Although Miyagi is less than 170cm tall, his jumping ability is quite good. Nan Lie obviously did not expect Miyagi to be able to threaten his shot. When Miyagi's palm was about to cover the basketball, Nan Lie hurriedly shot.
Although the ball was thrown, the rhythm was inevitably affected.
The basketball bounced out of the basket, and Akagi caught the rebound.
"Pass!" Akagi had just grabbed the rebound when Miyagi was already running impatiently toward the front court, shouting as he ran. Akagi threw the ball directly and made a long pass, which was accurately delivered to Miyagi.
Miyagi, who received the ball, quickly crossed the center line. At this time, Wudao and Mitsui had just crossed the center line. As for Akagi and Chiba, they didn't have time to follow up.
However, on the Touou side, there were already four players returning to defense. Except for the center who was competing with Akagi for the rebound, the other players didn't care about the rebound at the moment Nan Lie shot and started returning to defense early.
Three against four in the frontcourt is not a very good offensive opportunity.
But Miyagi didn't think so much. He just took the ball and moved towards Wudao. Then he passed the ball to Wudao and immediately set a pick-and-roll for Wudao after passing the ball.
Wudao originally wanted to wait for Akagi and the others to get in position, but since the opportunity to break through had already appeared, he no longer hesitated. He broke through in the direction of Miyagi's pick-and-roll and instantly crossed the three-point line. However, Wudao still had some sense. Seeing that the opponent's basket was full of people, he directly made a high-position jump shot.
"Swish!" With a slight sound, the basketball fell directly into the net.
Wu Dao was still shooting, and Touou was shooting again. As the blue torrent rushed towards Xiangbei's half, Wu Dao didn't care about pretending anymore, and hurriedly stuck to Nan Lie, not letting him have a comfortable gap to receive the ball.
When Touou was counterattacking with a fast break, Akagi Takenori and Chiba had just crossed the center line when they saw Touou's counterattack. They had no chance to catch their breath and immediately hurried back to defense.
Touou's offensive rhythm increased again and again, and the counterattack came quickly.
The basketball was about to be passed into the hands of Kishimoto Miri who was cutting in. Chiba was caught off guard and missed the opponent, allowing the opponent to easily score a layup.
As Touou speeded up, the defensive rotation speed of Xiangbei seemed to be unable to keep up.
But Miyagi was in high spirits at the moment. After receiving the basketball in the backcourt, he hurriedly crossed the center line with the ball. As soon as Budo arrived, the basketball was naturally given to him.
After several consecutive rounds of fast attacks, Wudao had already sensed that something was wrong.
Although Xiangbei's attack did not fail, the rhythm of this attack was not the one that Wudao was familiar with. Although Xiangbei also played run-and-gun, it was not a mindless charge. Xiangbei's run-and-gun was also targeted and targeted.
When Xiangbei plays against Touou, they already have the advantage in the interior, so they just need to play steadily in the position. Is it really beneficial for Xiangbei to launch a crazy attack
Wu Dao only paused for a short time after getting the ball, and his brain quickly calmed down. He did not attack quickly, but waited while dribbling the ball, while shouting to his teammates:
"Don't rush! Play slowly and steadily, and score every goal!"
"We are ahead by a large margin. We need to prolong the duration of each attack. The most important thing is the success rate of the attack!"
Jinguji Budou's sudden slowdown of the pace made the Touou players who were ready for the match feel a little at a loss. With the entry of Akagi Takenori and Chiba Daiishi, Budou did not continue to attack on his own, but passed the ball back to Miyagi.
Miyagi, who received the pass from Wudao, was obviously stunned for a moment, looked at Wudao, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he slowly carried the ball and approached the top of the arc.
At this time, he had calmed down. The feedback from Jinguji Budo was actually a reminder to him.
Miyagi and other players adjusted their mentality and got into position before passing the ball to Wudao. At this time, Wudao received the ball, lowered his center of gravity and showed his offensiveness.
Although Nan Lie's defense seemed to be well prepared, in the face of the absolute gap in physical fitness, his defense was full of loopholes.
Wu Dao's attack on Nan Lie is like Nan Lie's attack on Gong Cheng, just use physical strength to defeat him. As for both offensive breakthroughs, Wu Dao is taller than Nan Lie, has better jumping ability, is faster, and is more difficult to defend.
In the blink of an eye, Wudao used a change of direction to shake off Nan Lie. After breaking into the three-point line, he noticed Nan Lie who was chasing him. He then took a step back and returned directly to the outside of the three-point line, while keeping a distance of nearly one meter between him and Nan Lie. The next second, Wudao made a three-point shot.
The red basketball drew an arc in the air and then fell into the basket.
The three-pointer went in, and amid the cheers of the audience, Budo quickly returned to defense. Although Xiangbei returned to defense in time, Touou still seemed to have no intention of slowing down, and hurriedly served, pushed forward, and attacked.
Feng Yu had 30 seconds to attack, but they only took 10 seconds to complete a round of attack. After seeing Wu Dao's three-pointer, Nan Lie also wanted to respond with a three-pointer, but his intention was seen through by Miyagi. Although Miyagi tried his best to intercept the ball and did not touch the basketball, he once again successfully affected Nan Lie's shot.
Xiangbei began to consciously suppress the speed of attack and improve the efficiency of attack, while Touou just speeded up, speeded up, and speeded up again. Suddenly, Touou began to make more mistakes.
As the game progressed, the gap between the two teams began to widen rapidly.
13 minutes into the first half, the difference between the two teams had reached 16 points.
Shohoku High School firmly held the lead with a score of 36:20. Shohoku, who actively suppressed the offensive speed, had a very high offensive efficiency. On the contrary, Touou, who actively sped up to catch Shohoku off guard, was inefficient and also gave away several offensive opportunities.
Toyotama, which originally planned to catch up by increasing the pace, seems to be accelerating its death.
