During the fast break, Takeshi Jinguji performed a dunk for the audience, which also meant that Aiwa Academy's defensive strategy against Takeshi Jinguji was completely ineffective.
Moreover, the players of Aiwa Academy were not able to make defensive changes in the first place, which allowed Shohoku, or Jinguji Budo, to seize the opportunity to widen the score gap.
By the time Aiwa Academy made some defensive changes during the timeout, the gap between the two teams had already widened significantly.
Ten minutes into the game, Xiangbei High School showed a crushing offensive power, completely destroying Aiwa Academy's perimeter defense. The score between the two teams came to 31:14, and Xiangbei High School had an absolute lead.
During these ten minutes, Jinguji Takeshi alone scored most of the team's total points.
Jinguji Budo made 6 of 6 mid-range shots, dunks, and layups, 4 of 6 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, bringing his personal score to 26 points, and this was only ten minutes from the start of the game.
“Wowoooooooooooo!
!”
"It's Jinguji Budo again, he's attacking again!"
"Come on! Xiangbei!"
"Defend! Defend! Defend!"
Suddenly, a burst of cheers broke out from the stadium. The closed stadium could not contain the enthusiasm of the audience. Even the pedestrians outside the stadium could hear the amazing cheers clearly.
On the court, Xiangbei once again gained the offensive ball.
After dribbling the ball across half court, Ryouta Miyagi quickly passed it to Jinguji Takeshi. Takeshi just caught the ball and cheers broke out from the stands, with some cheering for him and some Aiwa supporters cheering for Aiwa Academy.
However, Wu Dao, who had the ball, did not notice the changes in the audience around him. When the basketball was in his hands, all he had in his eyes was the basket and the enemy in front of him!
Aiwa Academy has made some defensive adjustments.
Okamura Ryugo, who had originally been deployed to the outside to defend Jinguji Budou, now settled in the middle distance near the paint area, and the player who closely defended Budou became the second-year ace of Aiwa Academy, Dai Moroboshi. At the same time, the entire defense lineup of Aiwa Academy was also adjusted to a 23 zone defense.
Among the players on the Xiangbei side, only Jinguji Takeshi and Mitsui Hisashi had dedicated players to mark their defense. All the other Aiwa players organized an inverted triangle defense zone in the paint area in order to limit Jinguji Takeshi's scoring.
In Aiwa's defensive position, there were two defensive players standing at high positions on both sides of the free throw line, and near the baseline, Aiwa's center stood guarding the basket.
On the outside, Dai Moroboshi was responsible for defending Jinguji Budou, and another Aiwa player was responsible for defending Mitsui Shou. In general, the positions of the Aiwa players seemed a bit overlapping and deformed, but this was the best defensive method their coach came up with to contain Jinguji Budou.
"Huh...Huh..."
"Be calm. Only by staying calm can you see through his actions!"
One step outside the three-point line, Dai Moroboshi spread his arms, breathing slowly, trying to focus. Half a meter in front of him, Jinguji Budo straightened his waist, dribbled the ball with his right hand at his side, and did not stay on Dai Moroboshi for too long, but instead observed the positioning of Ai and other players.
Wudao's dribbling gave people a very relaxed feeling. Facing Moroboshi Dai's defense, Jinguji Wudao did not have any sense of urgency and appeared calm and composed.
On the contrary, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Dai Moroboshi on the defending side was nervous, and the source of his nervousness was Jinguji Budo in front of him.
"Pah... Pah... Pah..." The basketball fell and hit the floor with a light sound. Jinguji Budo's dribbling rhythm suddenly changed, and his whole body quickly leaned forward, his ball-protecting hand quickly pressed against Zhu Xingda's body, and he began to break through.
Zhu Xingdai also reacted quickly. He moved according to the sound and responded quickly the moment Wudao's dribbling rhythm changed. He slid to the side and instantly blocked Wudao's way.
However, the next second, Jinguji Budou just took a step forward and directly passed the ball one step away from the three-point line, and suddenly stopped and shot outside the three-point line.
“Swish!”
Under Zhu Xingda's astonished gaze, the basketball flew across half of the court and landed accurately into the net with a crisp sound.
“Waaaaah!”
"Another three-pointer! Another goal from this pull-up shot!"
As Jinguji Budou's shot went into the net, the stands immediately erupted in amazing cheers. After scoring the goal, Jinguji Budou simply glanced at Zhuxing Dai and then quickly retreated.
"hateful!
!
”
“This guy… ”
Zhu Xingda cursed softly, his breathing became a little heavier, and an unwilling but helpless look appeared on his face.
This was not the first time he had seen such a pull-up three-pointer. Before that, Jinguji Budou had also made such a shot, but at that time, the person standing in front of Jinguji Budou was their beloved Okamura Ryugo. And when the background board became him, Dai Moroboshi, he finally realized how difficult that man was to defend.
Jinguji Budo's offensive skills are very comprehensive, or in other words, his shooting points almost cover most of the offensive half of the court. Moreover, Jinguji Budo not only has excellent shooting skills, but also his breakthroughs are very sharp. Zhu Xingda has also experienced this.
Such technical characteristics require defensive players to guard against Wudao's sudden pull-up shots and shooting when facing Wudao. The pressure on the defense has increased exponentially.
The ball came into Aiwa's hands, and under the organization of Moroboshi Dai, Aiwa Academy quickly launched a counterattack. Under the cover of his teammates, Moroboshi Dai broke through the switched defense of Miyagi Ryouta, dribbled into the inside, and scored a layup under the interference of Chiba Daishi, returning the favor.
However, not long after Aiwa scored, Shohoku quickly launched a counterattack. Miyagi Ryouta did not suppress the offensive rhythm of Shohoku at all. After getting the basketball in the backcourt, he quickly dribbled the ball into the frontcourt. After entering the frontcourt, he did not wait for Akagi and Chiba to arrive, and quickly passed the ball to Jinguji Takeshi.
After getting the ball, Jinguji Budo faced Moroboshi again, looked at the basket, and quickly raised the basketball in his hand.
Wu Dao's action immediately alerted Zhu Xingda, who immediately raised his center of gravity and raised his right hand to defend himself.
If it was someone else, Dai Moroboshi would think it was a fake move and would not do anything to defend the shot, but he was facing Jinguji Budou, and even if it was a fast break like this, even if Budou clearly did not make any adjustments, Dai Moroboshi did not dare to let his guard down.
From the beginning of the game to now, Jinguji Budo has made too many unreasonable moves, and Zhuxing Dai dare not gamble.
But in the next second when Moroboshi raised his center of gravity, Takeshi Jinguji suddenly lowered his body and dropped the ball. As the basketball hit the ground, Takeshi Jinguji's figure quickly passed by Moroboshi's side.
At this time, Aiwa Academy had already completed its defensive position. The moment Wudao broke through, the two defensive players on both sides of the free throw line immediately surrounded him. At the same time, Zhuxing, who was broken through by Wudao, also came to his senses and turned around to chase Wudao.
Seeing that Aiwa and the other two were about to double-team Jinguji Takeshi, Jinguji Takeshi suddenly paused, stopped and looked towards the basket.
With just such a simple move, Budou instantly seduced Okamura Ryugo's defense. Seeing this, Okamura Ryugo jumped up to block the shot without thinking. Jinguji Budou had used the quick stop jump shot after the breakthrough several times. At this time, Budou's pause was obviously a sign of shooting.
However, Jinguji Takeshi's actions were completely beyond Okamura Ryugo's expectations. After a pause, Jinguji Takeshi didn't even move to close the ball. He accelerated again, and instantly passed Okamura Ryugo's defense line and rushed towards the inside.
"What?!" Okamura Ryugo turned his head in surprise and found that Jinguji Budou had already come to the basket. Despite the defense of their center, he made a light layup and sent the ball into the net.
Jinguji Budo just used a simple Dunbai, and in the blink of an eye, he broke through the second line of defense set up by Aiwa at medium distance.
As the basketball went into the net again, Takeshi Jinguji's personal score reached 31 points, and the score between the two teams reached 36:16, with a terrifying difference of 20 points.
"Beautiful! Budo."
As the dealer, Miyagi Ryouta shouted excitedly and celebrated with Takeshi when Takeshi returned to defense. With Jinguji Takeshi's goal, Miyagi's assists also reached 10 times.
"Hey, hey, hey, is this true? Jinguji Budou has already scored 31 points by himself! Aiwa Academy is no match for them!"
"So strong! Xiangbei is only a B-class team, but they defeated an A-class team like Aiwa."
"So amazing! Jinguji Budou is worthy of being an AA-level player. Such attack power is totally unstoppable."
"Eh?? That's not what you said before! Didn't you say he didn't deserve an AA rating?"
“… .”
As Jinguji Budou scored another goal, the discussion in the stands became louder. At this point in the game, no one had doubted Jinguji Budou's strength. Xiangbei's opponent today was a veteran strong team in the national competition, Aiwa Academy. This school was somewhat famous, and as one of the few A-level teams, Aiwa's strength was beyond doubt.
However, Xiangbei was able to suppress Aiwa, and Jinguji Budou was able to score so many points under Aiwa's defense. This level of offensive power is definitely difficult for other players to match.
"This guy Wu Dao was completely unleashed today. In just over ten minutes, he already scored 31 points."
"How many points does this guy want to get?"
Sendoh saw Jinguji Takeshi break through and score again, he silently calculated Takeshi's score in his mind, and couldn't help but sigh. In the past, Sendoh would not pay attention to how many points each player scored, because it was meaningless.
But today was different. From the beginning of the game, Jinguji Budou showed a strong desire to attack and scored continuously. From then on, Sendoh began to silently count Budou's scores in his mind. He had a hunch that today, Jinguji Budou's performance would probably surprise everyone.
"If we continue like this, I'm afraid we can get 90 points."
Shigong Tianye seemed to have sensed something, touched his chin and said in a deep voice.
"90 points?! How is that possible? Even if the opponent is defenseless, he can't possibly get that many points, right?"
"Although Aiwa Academy is far behind, it can be seen that their defense is very serious! No matter how powerful Jinguji Budo is, it is impossible for him to score so many points?!"
Yueyue Hongming, who was in the back row, exclaimed in disbelief when he heard what Shigong Tianye said.
But surprisingly, he was the only one in the entire Ryonan High School who raised doubts. All other players, including Coach Tiangang, remained silent and looked at the court with serious expressions.
Seeing that his teammates and coach were silent, Yueyue Hongming couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end. He muttered, "No... No way... You don't really think he can do such a thing, do you?"
"Is this... still a human being?!"
Yueyue Hongming stuttered a little. Scoring 90 points in a game? Is there anyone who believes such a fantasy?! Such an outrageous thing has never happened in the high school basketball world!
However, looking at the attitude of his teammates and coach, Hiroaki Yoshinoya felt a little uneasy in his heart. If... If Jinguji Budo really did such a thing, if they, Ryonan, met Shohoku again, would they really be able to stop him
What kind of defense is needed to stop someone like Jinguji Budo? !
At this point in the game, the suspense of the outcome had long since disappeared.
Although the players of Aihe Academy were still working hard, the score difference between the two teams did not seem to be narrowed at all. Aihe had already called a timeout in the first half, and the players on the court did not dare to change their defensive tactics rashly, or rather, they could not think of any defensive tactics.
On the Shohoku side, the offense still put all the pressure on Jinguji Takeshi, and Takeshi did not disappoint his teammates' expectations. He converted all of his teammates' passes into points. Although there were occasional misses, those were only very rare cases.
In the second half of the first half of the game, Jinguji Budo's physical strength seemed to have declined, and the rhythm of the attack was slightly relaxed, but the success rate was still very terrifying.
When the whistle sounded to end the first half, the score between Xiangbei and Aiwa College was 56:27, with a difference of 29 points.
And Takeshi Jinguji's personal score reached a terrifying 48 points, accounting for most of the team's points. At the same time, he had already broken the highest score record in the first half of the tournament.
All the spectators watching the game realized that they were witnessing history.
Reporters from various TV stations on the sidelines had already collected enough photos of Takeshi Jinguji during the first half and had even drafted a report. They were just waiting for the end of the game and the release of Takeshi Jinguji's full-game statistics.
As for the outcome of the match between Xiangbei and Aiwa Academy? Isn't it clear enough by now? !
"Today's game was really exciting! I never thought that high school students could compete so well."
"First, Ryonan High School defeated Sannoh and became the new king. Then, a super dark horse like Shohoku High School crushed Aiwa with the level of a B-class team. Although the game is not over yet, Aiwa's defeat is probably irreversible!"
During the half-time break, the reporters on the sidelines had a rare moment to relax. A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses sat on a chair and expressed his feelings to his assistant.
"Yes, Ryonan and Shohoku are both from Kanagawa. This year, such a monster appeared in Kanagawa Prefecture. No wonder even the frequent visitor to the national competition, Kainan University Affiliated School, is nowhere to be seen."
The middle-aged reporter's assistant was fiddling with the camera. Hearing his companion's sigh, he nodded and responded.
"Speaking of which, Ryonan's Shinomiya Tano and Shohoku's Jinguji Budo, these two are called the 'Kanagawa Twin Stars', right?"
"It's really scary. The whole prefecture is lucky to have one player like this, but Kanagawa Prefecture actually has two such players."
"These two are already far superior to their peers. At present, it seems that both Aiwa's Moroboshi and Okamura Ryugo are not on the same level as Jinguji Budo."
"That 'Neon's No. 1 High School Student' from Sanno Industrial is no match for Shinomiya Tano."
"I really don't know who would be the strongest high school student if these two were to face off!"
The middle-aged man raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the gym. The dazzling light made him squint slightly. He suddenly felt a little excited. He was looking forward to the match between Shinomiya Tano from Ryonan High School and Jinguji Budou from Xiangbei. The match between these two people will definitely shock the whole country!
