"I'll take some time to give you a good military training!"
After checking the ball, Jinguji Budo stood outside the three-point line with the ball in his hand, bending slightly. Shinomiya Tianye's defense was 30 centimeters away from him. With such a defensive distance, it was unrealistic to pass the opponent in one step.
After several unsuccessful attempts, Wu Dao straightened up, dropped the ball sideways, and while creating some distance, he slowly walked diagonally along the three-point arc, protecting the basketball at his side and using his body to block it slightly, giving Shinomiya Tano no chance to steal the ball.
Shinomiya Tano did not dare to let his guard down, maintaining a low center of gravity and moving sideways to follow.
Suddenly, Jinguji Budou, who was moving slowly, suddenly stopped, and bent his body while facing the basket. After the basketball exploded at his side, he suddenly changed hands and broke through to the left. The sudden change of direction caused a burst of exclamations from the surrounding audience, and the next second after Jinguji Budou broke through to the left, Shigong Tianye's body hit Jinguji Budou hard.
While moving, Takeshi Jinguji leaned his body to the side, dissipating the resistance from Shinomiya Tane and slightly slowed down his movement. Just when Takeshi Jinguji slowed down and crossed the three-point line by less than two steps, Shinomiya Tane reappeared in front of Takeshi Jinguji, blocking his way.
"Oh! Shinomiya Tano followed up so quickly, I didn't give him any chance!"
Just as the audience was marveling at Shimono's speed of pursuit and defense, Jinguji Takeshi on the field suddenly passed the ball after a pause and made a long shot from the back.
This distance is very close to the three-point line. Just two more steps outside will reach the three-point line. However, even at such a high position, Takeshi Jinguji took a long shot. At the same time as the basketball was shot, Takeshi Jinguji turned his head and walked outside the three-point line, without looking at the flying basketball.
Shigong Tianye turned his head and watched the basketball in mid-air begin to fall rapidly towards the basket. He estimated where the basketball would land and suddenly murmured, "This guy's shooting is really accurate!"
“Swish!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the basketball went straight into the net with a crisp sound. Shigong Tianye slowly walked to the basket, grabbed the basketball with one hand, rubbed it for a while, and walked towards Jinguji Budo with the ball in his hand.
When he arrived in front of Takeshi, Shinomiya Tano threw the ball to Jinguji Takeshi and said, "Three balls per round."
Jinguji Budou took the basketball, nodded after hearing this, and passed the ball to Shigong Tianye for inspection. Shigong Tianye did not take it, but just tapped the basketball to signal Budou to continue attacking. And this time, Jinguji Budou directly raised the ball more than one meter away from the three-point line and pretended to pull up.
Takeshi's move really scared everyone around him, but when Shinomiya Tanno saw this, he had no intention of defending at all. He thought Takeshi was faking it, but the next second, Jinguji Takeshi, with the basketball above his head, directly shot the basketball, which instantly passed over Shinomiya Tanno's head and flew towards the basket.
"Swish!" A crisp sound came from behind his head. Shinomiya Tianye's eyes shrank slightly and he turned his head to see the basketball falling from the net and landing on the floor with a slight sound.
"Pick up the ball." Jinguji Budo still maintained the shooting posture with his right hand, lowered his head slightly, and said to Shinomiya Tano.
"A long three-pointer..."
"If you have the ability, score another one."
Shigong Tianye lost two balls in a row, but his expression remained unchanged. He murmured and prepared to pick up the ball, but the spectators under the basket had already thrown the ball to him, so he didn't even need to run to get the ball. Shigong Tianye received the ball, walked in front of Wudao, and handed the ball to Wudao.
Jinguji Budou handed the ball back for inspection, but Shinomiya Tano didn't take it, but just touched it symbolically.
With the basketball in his arms, Wudao held the ball with one arm and stepped his right foot in front of the right side of Shigong Tanno. However, Shigong Tanno did not make any extra movements. He just slightly tilted his body and took the lead. He did not make any more movements. He still crouched down, in a defensive posture to prevent a breakthrough.
Seeing this, Wudao changed his ball-holding action to holding the ball with both hands. He raised the ball to test it, and seeing that Shigong Tianye did not move, he swept the ball as if to break through. However, Shigong Tianye was unmoved by Wudao's test step and still maintained that defensive posture.
At this point, Wudao no longer hesitated and attacked again from the spot.
Facing Takeshi's three-pointer, Shinomiya Tano had no intention of defending at all. What he wanted to bet on was that Takeshi's long shot would not go in. After all, it was a three-pointer, and a three-pointer that was some distance away from the three-point line. He didn't believe that Takeshi Jinguji could still make it.
"There's really no pressure in shooting a three-pointer like this!"
Takeshi Jinguji looked at the flying basketball and suddenly spoke to Shinomiya Tano. As he spoke, the basketball flew rapidly towards the basket. The next second, the basketball fell accurately into the net. Another crisp sound was heard. The students of Ryonan who were watching the game around could no longer suppress their emotions at this moment and exclaimed in surprise.
"Another goal? Three goals in a row. It looks so easy!"
"Three-pointer! Another three-pointer! This guy's shooting is so accurate."
"It's 3-0. Shinomiya Tianye is actually 3-0?"
The exclamations of the surrounding audience reached Shimono's ears. Only then did his expression change slightly. After glancing at Wudao with some surprise, he walked to the basket and picked up the basketball.
"This guy's shooting is really accurate. He made two three-pointers from this distance and scored easily from long range. On defense, we must put enough pressure on him, otherwise this guy's shots will keep going in."
"Although I already knew his technical characteristics, when it came to a one-on-one fight, I couldn't help but want to test it out."
"As expected! We can't be lax in the face of this kid. This guy is different from others. Every goal he scores is the result of his real ability."
"Every time he attacks, I have to defend carefully."
Shigong Tianye picked up the basketball and walked toward the three-point line, reflecting on himself in his mind. In the one-on-one fight with Jinguji Budou, he made a mistake that all defenders would make, which was the defensive tactic of letting the opponent shoot but not break through.
In official games, defensive players will not be so desperate in their defensive choices because their teammates can provide backup. In official games, defensive players have the opportunity to continue chasing and providing backup after being broken through by the opponent.
However, in a one-on-one bullfight, the defending side often loses the opportunity to pursue and defend after being broken through, and being broken through means losing the ball and points.
Therefore, in the defense of these three balls, when Shinomiya Tano noticed that Jinguji Takeshi had a tendency to shoot long shots, he did not choose to jump to block it. On the one hand, he did so to avoid being deceived, and on the other hand, Shinomiya Tano also attached more importance to Takeshi's breakthrough. As for Takeshi's shooting, he adhered to the attitude of defending if he could, and it didn't matter if he couldn't.
But after conceding three goals in a row, Shinomiya Tano also realized that when facing Jinguji Takeshi, he absolutely could not gamble that Takeshi's shots would miss. The risk was too great!
As Shigong Tianye walked to the three-point line with the basketball, Jinguji Budou also adjusted his position and stood with his back to the basket. He won the first round. Now, the offense and defense switched. Jinguji Budou became the defender, while Shigong Tianye became the attacker.
The ball checking process of the two people seemed very perfunctory. Shinomiya Tano handed the ball to Wudao, but Wudao had no intention of taking it. He just tapped the basketball and stuck it to Shinomiya Tano.
Takeshi Jinguji is well aware of Shinomiya Tano's abilities, so he will not let his guard down from the beginning. Moreover, according to Takeshi's understanding, Shinomiya Tano's long shots are not stable. During a bullfight, the defense against shots can be appropriately weakened. Correspondingly, Takeshi will be on high alert against Shinomiya Tano's strong starts and breakthroughs.
"Bang!"
Shimono Shinomiya's approach to close defense was simple and rough. While holding the ball and sweeping it, his body "inevitably" collided with Jinguji Takedo. Although the huge force failed to force Jinguji Takedo back, it did push Takedo's upper body back.
The next second, Shimonoya dropped the ball and rushed forward, leaning sideways and directly hitting Takeshi's body, trying to pass through Jinguji Takeshi's side.
"Is it that easy?!"
Although Jinguji Budo's upper body leaned back slightly due to the opponent's strength, he did not completely lose his balance. He stepped back and easily adjusted his position, while also quickly reaching out to hit the basketball.
Wudao's move seemed to be within the scope of Shigong Tianye's expectations. At the moment when Wudao shot, Shigong Tianye made a mistake in his footsteps, and while dribbling the ball between his legs, he easily avoided Wudao's steal. Just when Wudao thought that the opponent was going to break through in disguise, Shigong Tianye quickly cut the ball back, paused, and then accelerated in the same direction.
The direction of Shinomiya Tano's breakthrough was completely beyond Wudao's expectations. All Jinguji Wudao could do was to pursue sideways based on his instinctive reaction. However, Shinomiya Tano's speed was faster than Wudao's sideways movement. In just two steps, he had opened up the distance between him and Wudao.
Realizing that he was about to lose his position, Jinguji Budo finally gave up his hope and changed from crab steps to running in pursuit.
When Jinguji Takeshi changed his chasing posture, Shimonoya Shimoda obviously noticed it. A smile appeared on his face, and he rushed towards the basket without slowing down. When he got to the basket, Shimonoya Shimoda paused, and just lifted the ball up with both hands, successfully attracting Jinguji Takeshita to jump up and defend.
After deceiving Jinguji Budou, Shinomiya Tano finally hooked the ball and sent it into the net.
Jinguji Budou, who missed his jump, did not show any annoyance when he saw this. He walked to the basket silently, picked up the basketball, and walked towards the three-point line. The fake move after Shigong Tianye's breakthrough was of average quality, but the timing was very good. In such a position, Budou's pursuit method did not dare to bet whether the opponent was a fake move.
If Shimoya hadn't made a fake move, that shot just now would have been Wudao's only chance to block the shot.
"First ball!" Sigong Tianye walked outside the three-point line, took the basketball handed to him by Wudao, and said softly. After checking the ball, Sigong Tianye started with a three-threat shot. He only used the three-threat to slightly adjust Wudao's position, and then immediately dropped the ball and rushed forward.
The one-on-one bullfighting environment completely magnified Shigong Tianye's advantage in physical confrontation. Facing Jinguji Budou's defense, Shigong Tianye only needed to use one or two physical confrontations to make Budou adjust his strength. With Jinguji Budou's adjustment skills, Shigong Tianye could accelerate and advance recklessly in the face of a flat inside line.
Once Shigong Tianye has completed the acceleration, Wudao has to abandon the crab step and run to chase him. However, this defensive posture is not easy to stop suddenly, and it is also very easy to be deceived. Shigong Tianye who cuts into the basket not only has enough space to make fake moves, but also can finish with a sudden dunk.
"Bang!" As the loud sound of a slam dunk resounded throughout the stadium, Shimono Yamada easily scored three goals in front of Jinguji Budou, completing a clean sweep of Jinguji Budou in this round.
After the game was shutout, Shimoya Tanabe's mood was obviously better. He whistled and looked relaxed.
When Jinguji Takeshi stood outside the three-point line with the ball, Shigong Tianye stopped smiling and took a defensive stance. Shigong Tianye did not lower his center of gravity very low this time, and it was obvious that he was a little wary of Takeshi's shooting.
Wudao, who had the ball, did not launch an attack quickly. In the defense of the last three balls, Shinomiya Tano gave him a very intense physical confrontation. Wudao needed some time to withdraw from that state of confrontation so as not to affect his feel during the attack.
The adjustment time didn't take long. In just a few seconds, Jinguji Budo had completed the adjustment and dropped the ball to prepare for a breakthrough.
In this attack, Budo abandoned the triple threat offensive method, and got the ball early, while doing a disguised dribble between his legs, he approached the three-point line where Shinomiya Tano was.
Wu Dao's dribbling rhythm is not fast, but every step he takes seems full of momentum, and every step he takes gives people a sense of heaviness.
As Jinguji Budou approached, Shigong Tianye's defense retreated cautiously, maintaining a defensive gap of about 30 centimeters. But the second he retreated from the three-point line, Shigong Tianye realized that he could not retreat any further. If he retreated further, he would be within Jinguji Budou's most comfortable attack range.
But at this moment, Jinguji Budo's dribbling rhythm suddenly changed. He dribbled the ball between his legs, stretched out his arms, and quickly changed direction in front of his body after a disguised induction. Then he grabbed the ball with one hand, quickly passed Shigong Tianye's defense, and cut into the basket.
Shigong Tianye's pursuit was very fast, with his body tightly attached to Wudao's side, ready to block Wudao's one-handed layup. However, Wudao grabbed the ball with one hand and made a sudden stop after two steps. After giving Shigong Tianye a considerable degree of physical confrontation, he used the power of the recoil to shoot a backward jump shot.
“Bang!”
“Swish!”
"Huh?!" Jinguji Budou's shot choice was beyond Shimono's expectations, but when he saw the basketball hit the backboard and went into the net, Shimono did not show any shock, but just let out a light exclamation.
If it were someone else, this shot would most likely be completed with a one-handed layup, but if the opponent was Jinguji Budou, this sudden stop and fade away with the help of the recoil would be more in line with Budou's personal style.
"Ohhh!"
"It was a really beautiful fadeaway. After that kind of physical confrontation, even if Tian Ye could guess the opponent's offensive intention, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to follow up and block the shot."
"Jinguji Budo's attack uses simple techniques, but it looks so gorgeous!"
When Jinguji Budou scored, Coach Tanaoka had already joined the spectators. He had already arranged the training for all the other players in the training camp, and when he had some free time, he focused on the "training" of Jinguji Budou and Shinomiya Tano.
Looking at Jinguji Takeshi and Shinomiya Tano heading back to the three-point line, Coach Tanaoka said to himself:
"The personal abilities of these two people far exceed those of high school students of the same age. Even I don't have any good way to train them."
"Let these two keep playing one-on-one. A strong opponent will squeeze out the players' greater potential."
"Let me see, who among you will become the other's stepping stone! Who will be able to complete the transformation in the duel!"
