"Maybe you're right. The gap in physical strength cannot be made up overnight. Accumulation is very important."
"But I won't let you score again before I fall!"
Jinguji Budo's face was full of seriousness when he said this, and it was obvious that he was not just talking. Hearing this, Sendoh just smiled and did not refute anything.
Sendoh actually already understood Wudao's defensive ability. His reaction and speed were quite good, not much different from his. However, since the two had similar basic physical qualities, physical strength became the decisive factor.
Xiandao, who was directly facing Wudao, could feel that Wudao's physical strength had declined greatly, and his movements were not as agile as at the beginning.
Wudao thought that the reason he failed to defend Sendoh's ball was because he stepped on his sweat, and that Sendoh was just lucky and had the opportunity to break through.
But Sendoh knew clearly that even if Takeshi had not lost his balance due to sweat, it would have been difficult for him to keep up with his pace.
"Come to think of it, you're not going to attack?"
"From the time you came on the field until now, you have never actively attacked me."
"Why? Don't you have confidence in yourself?"
Sendoh watched Mitsui Hisashi approaching the front court with the ball, and seemed to suddenly think of something. He turned his head and looked at Wudao and asked.
Provocation, naked provocation.
"Everyone should know their role on the field."
"People who don't know themselves don't deserve to be on the court."
“I know what I should and shouldn’t do.”
Low-level provocations are obviously of no use to Wudao. Wudao is very clear about his current offensive capabilities and will not think highly of himself just because he has gained some advantages on the defensive end.
If he wants to break through to the immortal path, his current abilities are not enough.
Wu Dao will not forget that this match is a practice match, and will not forget what his purpose is. The outcome of this match is actually irrelevant to Wu Dao. Regardless of winning or losing, it is just a practice match after all.
But for Wudao personally, it was important. He needed to show Anzai Zhengyi his value on the court and seize the opportunity to become a starting player. Therefore, Wudao did not save his strength from the beginning of the game, and fully dealt with Sendoh's attack.
He wanted to let Anzai Zhengyi see that he was able to restrain a strong ace player like Sendoh by fully defending. Even if it was only enough to suppress him for a dozen minutes, it would be of great value to Takeishi Junior High School.
“That sounds reasonable.”
When Sendoh heard this, his eyes slightly widened and brightened a little. Just as Sendoh was about to continue speaking, Jinguji Takeshi who was standing in front of him suddenly moved.
Wudao suddenly left the court and walked out of the court. After quickly bypassing Sendoh, he stepped back into the court and ran along the baseline towards the basket.
Wudao's action was too sudden. He was still chatting with Sendoh one second, and the next second he rushed to the inside. Sendoh obviously didn't react immediately, and was two beats late before he caught up with Wudao.
Mitsui Shou, who entered the frontcourt with the ball, saw that there was a gap for Wudao. He was about to pass the ball, but suddenly he found that Wudao secretly made a pushing gesture towards Mitsui Shou, which was to refuse Mitsui Shou from passing the ball to him at this time.
Budo's movements were very covert, and only Mitsui Shou, who was facing Budo, saw them.
It was also because of Wudao's action that Mitsui Shou, who was about to pass the ball, hesitated. Wudao who entered the inside quickly attracted the attention of the two inside players of Akizuki High School. The two inside players who were originally staring at Wu Shi subconsciously focused their attention on the rushing Wudao.
Wu Dao knew very well that it was unrealistic for him to score the ball in the paint against the defenders. After a brief pause, he quickly changed direction and ran 45 degrees to the other side, where there were no players from Qiuyue High School.
Sendoh, who was chasing Wudao, was blocked by several inside players when entering the inside because of Wudao's sudden change of form, and was unable to catch up with Wudao in the first time.
The moment Takeshi entered the open space, Mitsui Hisashi passed the ball quickly and accurately into the hands of Takeshi Jinguji.
Vacant seat.
The center of Qiuyue High School instantly realized that Wu Dao was left alone, and without a second thought, he left the inside line and rushed towards Wu Dao who was not far away. As he expected, Wu Dao, who got the basketball, quickly turned to face the basket, raised the basketball and shot it out.
“Don’t even think about it!” The center of Qiuyue High School jumped high, trying hard to block Wudao’s shot, but when he just jumped up, he suddenly found that the ball thrown by Wudao was not upwards, but downwards!
"Fake move, it's a pass!" The center of Akizuki High School realized it at the first moment, but when he realized it, the basketball had already passed by him quickly and hit the ground into the hands of Fujii Masao in the inside.
Because of his obstructed vision, Fujii Masao didn't even have time to react before the basketball inexplicably came into his hands. When he realized the basketball was in his hands, he shot it quickly, and the basketball hit the side of the board and went into the basket.
"Good shot!" Mitsui Shou, who had just passed the ball, shouted, somewhat surprised and delighted. Just now, he did not see Wudao's fake move, and thought that Wudao would shoot by himself, but he did not expect that he would pass the ball.
"Good pass." After scoring the goal, Fujii Masao jogged back to defense, and did not forget to extend his fist as he passed by Wudao.
"It's so-so." Wudao smiled, bumped fists with Fujii tacitly, and then started to return to the field.
"Is this his response?"
Sendoh looked at Wudao who was returning to defense from afar, twisted his neck, and ran towards the front court silently.
As soon as Sendoh crossed the center line, he couldn't wait to ask his teammates for the ball.
"Here!" Sendoh raised his right hand and shouted. Akizuki No. 5 in the backcourt saw Sendoh asking for the ball and curled his lips, seeming a little dissatisfied, but still gave the ball to Sendoh.
As soon as Sendoh got the ball, Jinguji Takeshi ran up silently, without any nonsense, and directly took a defensive stance against Sendoh near the center line.
Off the court, Anxi Zhengyi couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene. At this point in the game, he finally confirmed one thing!
"His personal offensive ability is outstanding, but basketball has never been a one-person sport."
Anzai Zhengyi stood up and made a gesture to the players on the field. Wu Shi's players noticed Anzai Zhengyi's movements and silently adjusted their defensive formation.
The original man-to-man defense suddenly changed. Except for Budo who was facing Sendo at the midline, all other people shrank their defense line to one or two meters within the three-point line.
box&one.
In addition to making substitutions, Anzai Zhengyi, who had been watching the game on the sidelines, made adjustments to the team's defense for the first time.
Of course, Wudao also noticed the actions of his teammates. When he saw his teammates' positions, Wudao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Four-man zone defense. In this way, I only need to defend Sendoh's shots from the outside."
"If you play like this earlier, instead of playing man-to-man, I can be much more relaxed."
Wudao covered Sendo's face with one hand, thinking secretly in his heart. Anxi Zhengyi's deployment allowed Wudao, who was already physically exhausted, to greatly extend his time on the court.
