Jinguji Budo's switch-hand slam dunk immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the audience. Although the previous match between Luoan and Kakuzuru was also quite intense, it was far less shocking than seeing someone complete such a difficult dunk with their own eyes.
After all these games, Xiangbei High School has accumulated a considerable number of fans in Tokyo. For a time, the entire stadium was filled with the cheers of the audience.
"This guy seems a little different from before!"
On the court, Shigong Tianye looked at Jinguji Budou's back and thought to himself. He thought he knew Jinguji Budou, knew his opponent's playing style, and knew his opponent's ability. If it was Jinguji Budou in the past, he would most likely choose to shoot from outside the three-point line in a fast break opportunity like this.
The fast break three-pointer at the beginning of the game has always been Jinguji Takeshi's forte. When he was chasing and defending just now, Shinomiya Tano had actually already preset the offensive method that Takeshi might use, so he just hung behind Takeshi when chasing.
However, what he didn't expect was that today, Takeshi Jinguji did not use his usual best offensive method, but instead invaded the basket. This surprised Shinomiya Tano a little. Although he was able to catch up, he had no way to face Takeshi Jinguji's switch-hand dunk.
"Shinomiya Tano, don't let him go." Jinguji Takeshi turned around and started to defend. He whispered as he passed by Shinomiya Tano, and then ran towards his own half.
"Hey!
This bastard is very motivated! "
Upon hearing this, Shigong Tianye's eyes widened slightly. Although the competition had just begun, Shigong Tianye felt that the blood in his body was boiling. This was the first time he had such a feeling since he participated in the national competition.
"Sure enough, only an opponent like this can make me feel so excited."
"This time, I will definitely pin you to death!"
Shimono walked to the sideline and received the basketball from the referee. When Fujima returned to the backcourt, he passed the ball to Fujima, then quickly ran to the frontcourt and positioned himself one step outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle towards the basket.
When Fujima dribbled the ball across the center line, Shimonoseki quickly turned around with his back to the basket, his back directly against Jinguji Takeshi's body, and raised his hand to ask for the ball.
"Are you in such a hurry? Can't the position be a little deeper?"
Fujima Kenji saw that the position where Shinomiya Tianye wanted the ball was a little far from the basket, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused. Although he had not been in Ryonan for a long time, he still knew a lot about Ryonan's current ace.
The most comfortable receiving position for Shinomiya Tanno is actually deeper, preferably two meters away from the three-point line. The closer to the basket, the greater the threat of Shinomiya Tanno.
Relatively speaking, when receiving the ball outside the three-point line, Shimonoseki's threat will be less.
Although Fujima was confused, he did not hesitate at all. The Ace had already asked for the ball, and as the dealer of Ryonan, he would not go against the Ace's wishes.
The basketball quickly went into the hands of Shimoyama Tano. Although Miyagi on the defensive side wanted to block it, there was a big height difference between the two, and Fujima used a high pass, so Miyagi had no way to interfere.
After receiving the basketball, Shimoya Tano quickly turned around, swept the ball towards the basket, and his center of gravity quickly sank. Then he tapped his right foot lightly to the right, and after a simple fake shake, the ball fell directly to the right side of Jinguji Budou.
Shinomiya Tano's feint was to the left side of Wudao, but when he broke through, it was to the right side of Wudao. Although his feint only made Wudao shift his line of sight slightly, this less than a second was enough for him to have a gap to start.
“Peng!
! "Shigong Tianye's side body directly hit Jinguji Wudao's body with a dull sound. Wudao took a half step back and then quickly slid forward.
"Caught up?! He actually caught up?!" Jinguji Budou only followed the breakthrough Shinomiya Tano, but Zebei Rongji, who was watching the game with his teammates in the stands, couldn't help but exclaimed.
Only after having played against Shinomiya Tano did he truly understand how terrifying that person's strength was. If it was him, Zebei Rongji, who was on the defensive side, he would have been completely out of position by now.
But now, Jinguji Takeshi, who was facing off against Shinomiya Tano, actually caught up immediately after the confrontation, which was enough to show Jinguji Takeshi's ability.
On the court, Shinomiya Tano was not as surprised as Zekita Eiji. This was not the first time he had faced off against Jinguji Takeshi. He was not surprised at all that Takeshi could keep up with him, and he was even prepared to deal with it.
During the breakthrough, Sigong Tianye chased Wudao across the three-point line, but his dribbling rhythm was also disrupted by Wudao's defense. Sigong Tianye did not continue with his intensity. After a short emergency stop and dribbling on the spot, he quickly adjusted his rhythm and started again.
Shimono's sudden stop and start rhythm was very smooth. Wudao did not raise his center of gravity when the opponent made a sudden stop. Just as Shimono knew him, he also knew Shimono very well. Long shots were not what Shimono was good at. In this position, it was impossible for the opponent to shoot.
In an instant, Wudao quickly slid and caught up with Shigong Tianye, and because Wudao had already anticipated that Shigong Tianye's movements would be a few points faster than before, this advance time gave Wudao a chance to steal the ball.
Without any hesitation, Jinguji Budou, who was blocking Shinomiya Tano's position, quickly stole the ball and slapped the basketball in Shinomiya Tano's hand.
However, just when Jinguji Takeshi was about to intercept the ball, Shinomiya Tano who was moving suddenly stopped again. The basketball that was about to fall was actually caught in his hands with both hands. In front of Takeshi's surprised gaze, he directly pulled up for a jump shot.
"What?!" This sudden stop-and-jump shot caught Wu Dao off guard. He quickly turned his head and saw the basketball hit the backboard at a 45-degree angle and went into the net. Shinomiya Tano's hasty stop-and-jump shot actually went in!
“Tsk tsk tsk~”
Shinomiya Tano smacked his lips, and shook his finger at Wu Dao as he stepped back. The wanton smile on his face made Wu Dao raise his eyebrows slightly.
After scoring, Ryonan High School quickly retreated, and all the players celebrated by fist-bumping with Shinomiya Tano.
"Don't worry, Budo, the game has just begun."
Mitsui Shou walked to Takeshi's side, patted Takeshi's shoulder and comforted him. To outsiders, it seemed that Takeshi's defense just now was completely defeated by Shinomiya Tano. A steal and a jump shot, Takeshi's actions were obviously expected by Shinomiya Tano.
"It seems that I'm not the only one who is making progress! I shouldn't have underestimated him. This guy is a true genius!"
Wu Dao nodded to Mitsui Shou, and then ran to the front court. He stared at Shigong Tianye from a distance, and sighed in his heart. However, Shigong Tianye's goal also aroused his desire to fight. Needless to say, he must return the favor with the next goal!
Jinguji Takeshi's idea didn't need to be told to the players, everyone could understand. As an ace, Jinguji Takeshi also had his own pride. Without any instructions, Miyagi Ryouta didn't even wait for Fujima to come up after crossing the center line, and immediately passed the ball to Jinguji Takeshi.
The position where Wudao received the ball was about two meters away from the three-point line, while Shigong Tianye was on the three-point line. The distance between the two teams was quite different. The moment Wudao received the ball, Shigong Tianye immediately moved up and came in front of Wudao. Obviously, he also knew that Wudao had the ability of ultra-long three-pointers and didn't want to give Wudao any opportunity to shoot.
Moreover, Shinomiya Tano's defense was very aggressive, and he kept trying to use force to interfere with the normal actions of martial arts.
After Wudao got the ball, he felt the defensive pressure from the opponent. After receiving the ball, he turned his back to the goal and dribbled with his right hand. At the same time, he turned his back to the right and faked a breakthrough. The next second, he quickly turned from the left and started to break through.
Wudao's feint briefly attracted Shigong Tianye's attention, but Shigong Tianye's reaction was also very fast. When Wudao, who had broken through, was level with him, he immediately caught up with him and at the same time pressed his chest directly against Wudao's shoulder, trying to affect Wudao's dribbling rhythm.
However, Wudao had no intention of slowing down. He quickened his pace and soon passed Shigong Tianye who was sliding forward and rushed towards the second line of defense.
"Xian Dao! Reinforce the defense!"
Uozumi in the inside line pointed at the Jinguji Budou who broke through and yelled, and at the same time, he quickly blocked Akagi behind him and did not give Budou the choice to pass the ball. Sendoh in the high position did not need to be reminded at all, and ran up quickly at the moment when Budou broke through. And Shinomiya Tano, who was broken through, was facing Budou at this time and began to chase and defend with all his strength.
For a moment, Wudao was directly trapped in a double-team situation.
However, Wudao, who had the ball, was not panicked at all. When Sendoh came forward, he quickly changed direction and changed the direction of his advance. His movement suddenly involved the defensive positions of two people. Sendoh and the chasing Shinomiya Tano both thought that Wudao was going to change direction and break through, so they changed their defensive positions.
But in the next second, Jinguji Budou took a step back in the opposite direction, quickly distanced himself, directly passed the ball, and shot a fade away jump shot.
Sendoh, who came to fill in the position, and Shimoya Tsunayoshi, who was chasing, both missed the ball and looked up at the basketball.
“Swish!”
Following a slight sound, the faces of everyone in Ryonan changed, and they all turned to look at Jinguji Budo.
Wudao went through continuous rhythm changes before shooting. Such rhythm changes actually affected the rhythm of shooting. Moreover, Wudao's shooting position was also a long distance away from the basket. He had just crossed the three-point line by two steps at this time. In addition, it was a fadeaway jump shot. The whole series of actions made his shooting difficulty increase exponentially.
But even such a difficult fadeaway jump shot was actually made, which surprised everyone in Ryonan.
"Ohhhh, the rhythm change is so smooth, and this shot actually went in, it looks so easy, this Jinguji Budo is so strong!"
In the stands, Masashi Kawata exclaimed in admiration. He had played as a defender and had practiced defender techniques before, but he thought he could not do it as easily and smoothly as Jinguji Budou. He could not score a goal of this difficulty.
"Tsk..." Zebei Rongzhi bit his lip when he saw this scene, his face solemn and his eyes full of dissatisfaction.
Sanno's coach, Goro Domoto, also looked solemnly at Jinguji Budo, who had already started to defend. After a long while, he sighed:
"When Shohoku and Aiwa played against each other, Jinguji Budo scored a lot of points, but his skills didn't seem to be that outstanding."
"But when he faced off against Shigong Tianye, I realized how terrifying this kid's ability was."
"Zebei, you are so lucky to be in the same class with such people!"
"Today's match will probably depend on the outcome of the fight between those two people."
Domoto's words reached Zebei Rongzhi's ears. Zebei Rongzhi looked at the two people in the field, lowered his eyelids, and closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, an unprecedented desire burst out in his eyes, which was a desire for a strong enemy.
"It's amazing that you can even score that kind of goal. You are worthy of being my cherished opponent."
When Xiangbei returned to defense, Shinomiya Tianye also followed Takeshi and the others into the frontcourt. Shinomiya Tianye slightly turned his head to glance at Fujima's position, then turned back and started talking to Takeshi.
"We're just getting started. Don't worry, I still have a lot of tricks up my sleeve."
"You are surprised by this. Won't your jaw drop later?"
Wudao looked at Fujima Kenji who was dribbling the ball into the front court and replied with a smile.
"Tanye!" At this moment, Fujima Kenji shouted, and Shinomiya Tanye, who was standing in front of Wudao, suddenly started and ran towards Fujima. As soon as there was a move on this side, Miyagi Ryouta immediately moved sideways to block Fujima's passing route.
However, Fujima actually faked a true breakthrough, and took advantage of the moment when Miyagi's attention was distracted to quickly break through with the ball. Mitsui Shou, who wanted to make up for the defense, was deliberately blocked by Sendoh. Jinguji Takeshi, who was closest to the team, saw the opponent's breakthrough and decisively gave up Shinomiya Tano and went to make up for Fujima.
However, without waiting for Wudao to get close, Fujima passed the ball directly behind his back without even looking at Shinomiya Tano, and the basketball fell accurately into Shinomiya Tano's hands.
"Nice post!"
Sigong Tianye, who got the ball, smiled and praised, and then shot directly from a high position. Sigong Tianye's open long-range shot was very stable, and the basketball went directly into the net. After scoring, Sigong Tianye happily ran to Fujima and celebrated with him, then turned his head to look at Jinguji Budou, with a smile on his face.
"Sorry, I was careless. I thought he would pass the ball to Shimono." Miyagi Ryouta walked to Takeshi and apologized, but Takeshi just patted Miyagi on the shoulder and ran towards the front court without any other expression.
Soon, Budou entered the front court, waiting for Miyagi to bring the ball into the court.
Shigong Tianye stood about two meters in front of Wudao, leaning on his knees with both hands, looking at Miyagi Ryouta with the ball, and suddenly said:
"You know, I've been feeling lucky for the choices I made during this time."
"I suddenly realized that joining Ryonan High School might be the best decision I have ever made."
"Do you want to know why?"
Wu Dao glanced at Shi Gong Tian Ye and didn't say anything. Shi Gong Tian Ye saw that Wu Dao didn't care about his attitude and said to himself:
"Because I found that in this team, I can give full play to my abilities."
"Jinguji Budo, you... and your Shohoku, there is absolutely no way you can defeat our Ryonan!"
While Shinomiya Tano was speaking, Miyagi Ryouta, who was dribbling the ball into the court, encountered the defense of Fujima Kenji. Fujima's previous few shots seemed to be to observe Miyagi's playing habits, and he did not exert much pressure on defense, but now, Fujima seemed to have observed it well, and the moment Miyagi entered the court with the ball, he quickly stuck to him.
He actually forced Miyagi to stop the ball in an instant.
Realizing that something was wrong, Budou quickly moved to respond, but Shinomiya Tano did not give Budou such a chance and quickly came up to him. At the same time, Sendoh, who was originally in position near the free throw line, suddenly found Mitsui Hisashi, and Ryonan's original 23-zone defense instantly turned into man-to-man defense.
And the most important thing is that at this moment, Miyagi was unable to pass the ball well.
"Man-to-man defense, don't give him a chance to pass the ball!"
While chasing Jinguji Budou, Shimonoya shouted to his teammates, his face full of excitement. At this moment, in his eyes, he could already see that Shohoku was losing.
