Shooting a long three-pointer from more than two meters away from the three-point line. In this era, if any player does this, his coach will definitely break his head.
The Kanagawa player, Jinguji Takeshi, did this in full view of everyone. However, this extraordinary shot did not make Coach Tanaka unhappy. When Coach Tanaka saw Jinguji Takeshi's long three-pointer, he just lowered his head and covered his head. If it weren't for the smile on his face, others would have thought he was very sad.
The enthusiasm of the Kanagawa Prefecture audience has been completely aroused by Jinguji Budo. When Akita Prefecture attacked, the audience shouted "Defense" in unison and rhythmically.
Compared to the enthusiasm of Kanagawa Prefecture supporters, the voices of the audience supporting Akita Prefecture were a little muted.
The emotions of the audience can also affect the players on the field. Under the cheers of the audience, the Kanagawa players on the field were also greatly encouraged and their self-confidence was even greater. As the core of the cheers, Jinguji Budo was enveloped by such cheers and began to float up unconsciously.
Soon, the players from Akita Prefecture entered the frontcourt. Jinguji Budo's long three-pointer had some impact on these people. As the gap between the two teams narrowed, the players from Akita Prefecture were under tremendous pressure.
"Damn it, I must not lose to him!" Zebei Rongji secretly swore in his heart. After entering the frontcourt, he actively ran inside. After failing, he slid to the bottom line and to one corner. Seeing Jinguji Takeshi following in, Zebei quickly moved up and ran towards Fukatsu Kazunari who had the ball, hoping to get a pass from Fukatsu.
But at this moment, Fukatsu had no idea of Zebei Rongji's existence. Zebei's repeated defeats obviously made Fukatsu become cautious. Zebei stepped forward, and Fukatsu Kazunari made a fake hand-to-hand pass, and then he turned around with the ball and broke through.
Kazunari Fukatsu's move completely fooled Jinguji Takeshi and Maki Shinichi. They both thought that the other side would pass the ball to Zebei Rongji, but they didn't expect that the other side would break through on his own.
Without checking for a moment, the two were directly passed by Kazunari Shintsu. Wudao saw the opponent quickly cross the three-point line, glanced at the opponent and chose not to chase him. Instead, he turned his head to look at Zebei, and by the way cut off Shintsu's passing route backwards.
Maki Shinichi chose to chase, but his speed was still a little slow. After Fukatsu Kazunari broke through, he took a mid-range jump shot and scored a single goal.
Although Kazunari Fukatsu is a traditional point guard, his shooting is also quite good. The basketball goes into the net cleanly and neatly without any delay.
"Feel sorry."
Seeing that Kazunari Fukatsu scored, Maki Shinichi took the blame and said to the players around him. Shigong Tianye heard what he said, stepped forward and patted Maki Shinichi on the shoulder, comforting him:
"Don't worry, Fukatsu Kazunari is quite strong, just defend well from now on."
"I'll pay more attention to his breakthroughs."
"Amu, you don't have to worry about Zebei Rongzhi's position, just keep an eye on Fukatsu Kazusei. Someone will help you get back the lost points."
As Shinomiya Tano spoke, he looked at Jinguji Budo who had already crossed the center line and entered the front court, and said with a smile.
Shinomiya Tano was not at all jealous of Jinguji Budo's outstanding performance. Instead, he was very happy to see this situation.
He was happy and relaxed because he had teammates who could handle the overall situation. At the same time, through this game, he was able to analyze Jinguji Budo's playing ideas from the perspective of his teammates on the court, which was very important for Shinomiya Tano.
Because his goal is not to fight Jinguji Budo on equal terms or to destroy each other, what he wants is to completely suppress Jinguji Budo. Therefore, it is very important to analyze Jinguji Budo's offensive habits.
Jinguji Budo probably could not have imagined that in this game, not only his opponent Akita Prefecture was analyzing him, but even his teammate Shinomiya Tano and his coach Coach Tanoka were analyzing his offensive habits.
Coach Tanaoka and Shinomiya Tano have never forgotten that Jinguji Takeshi is a player of Shohoku, and Shohoku is one of their more threatening opponents in the IH campaign.
In the backcourt, comforted by his teammates, Maki Shinichi quickly dribbled the ball into the frontcourt. His mentality was very good. At this time, the understanding of his teammates made him feel very comfortable playing on the court. The tension had completely disappeared, and even his dribbling became relaxed and more casual and flexible.
Kazunari Fukatsu on the defensive side was the one who could feel the changes in Shinichi Maki the most. In fact, in the first half of the first half, Shinichi Maki's dribbling was still tight. This is not to say that Shinichi Maki's dribbling was not good, but that Shinichi Maki's dribbling in the first half was very regular, but now, his dribbling gives people an elusive sense of agility.
“Huh~”
A slight sound of breaking through the air was heard, and Maki Shinichi slapped the ball with one hand and passed it sideways directly into the hands of Jinguji Takeshi.
Jinguji Budou, who scored consecutively, gained the complete trust of Maki Shinichi. Maki had never felt that playing was so easy. Playing as the ball-holding core in Hainan, although he was highly expected by the coach and teammates, that expectation was very heavy.
Although middle-aged people always have to bear heavy pressure, they also need to relax occasionally, don’t they
As soon as the basketball fell into Jinguji Budo's hands, the stands erupted in amazing cheers. Budo stood outside the three-point line holding the ball, bent over, straightened his knees, leaned forward, and held the basketball at his waist, with no sign of his attacking intentions.
The defending Sawakita Eiji did not dare to be careless. In order to prevent Jinguji Takeshi's pull-up shot, Sawakita Eiji stuck very closely to Takeshi, with his left hand on Takeshi's waist and his right hand raised horizontally, faintly covering the basketball in Takeshi's hand. His defensive posture was very good.
"The little bald guy's defensive posture is really good. It would be difficult for ordinary opponents to break through him."
Shinomiya Tano stood in the paint, pushing Nobe Masahiro from behind and moving slowly, pushing Nobe out of the basket while keeping an eye on the outside matchup between Jinguji Budo and Zebei Rongzhi. Behind him, Nobe Masahiro had a grim look on his face, looking constipated, but his position was getting further and further away from the basket.
On the outside, after a stalemate between Jinguji Takeshi and Zebei for a few seconds, Jinguji Takeshi suddenly raised the ball. Zebei Rongji was startled by this action and immediately raised his hands above his head to block it. Although he did not jump, his entire center of gravity was lifted up by Jinguji Takeshi.
The next second, Takeshi Jinguji dropped the ball and broke through to the left side of Zebei. In just a blink of an eye, Takeshi Jinguji had passed Zebei Rongji and rushed towards the basket.
Seeing this, Masashi Kawata under the basket knew that something was wrong and immediately let go of Takenori Akagi and moved up to provide backup defense. Facing Masashi Kawata's backup defense, Takeshi Jinguji did not slow down at all and directly broke through with the ball, so he faced Kawata directly from the mid-range on the side of the free throw line.
Takeshi Jinguji grabbed the ball with one hand and jumped up directly. His body collided directly with Masashi Kawata in the air. The impact was different from what Kawata had expected. He thought that the impact of Takeshi Jinguji, who was able to dunk over Matsumoto Minoru and Zebei, would be quite terrifying. However, as soon as their bodies touched, Masashi Kawata felt that the impact force given to him by the opponent was quite small.
But the next second, Kawata Masashi's child hole shrank in mid-air. Seeing that Jinguji Budo, who collided with him in the air, actually fell backwards, but the hand holding the ball was raised above his head steadily, and he threw the ball with one hand and sent it out directly.
"Bang!" After shooting the ball, Takeshi Jinguji fell directly to the ground and even slid backwards a short distance. The basketball hit the backboard at an oblique angle, bounced into the basket and fell into the net.
Wu Dao on the ground didn't even bother to see whether the basketball went in or not. After falling to the ground, he turned his head and looked at the referee on the sidelines, but the referee had a whistle in his mouth but didn't blow it.
"Has Kawada already taken his place?"
Wudao lay on the ground pretending to be dead for several seconds, but the referee didn't blow the whistle, thinking it was a pity. At this time, Maki Shinichi and Sendoh had also walked over, and pulled Wudao up from the ground from the left and right.
Takeshi Jinguji was waiting for the referee to blow the whistle. At this time, Masashi Kawata was looking at the referee belatedly, feeling nervous. When he saw that the referee did not react, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw Takeshi Jinguji go to see the referee, he realized how insidious this guy was. Fortunately, the referee's penalty today was relatively large.
This kind of ball can be called or not, it all depends on the referee's penalty standard today. While Kawata was shouting in his heart that he was lucky, the gorilla face showed a bright smile to Jinguji Budo, as if he had expected the referee not to call the ball.
When Wudao saw the other party's expression, he raised his eyebrows, looked deeply at Masashi Kawata, and quickly returned to defense with his teammates.
Akita Prefecture is actually very strong overall, but in today's game, Nobe Masahiro has been completely suppressed by Shinomiya Tano, and Matsumoto Minoru, who is considered to be a trump card in any team, has no voice. As for Zebei Rongji, his voice is very loud, but his repeated attempts to attack have been blocked by Jinguji Budo.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Akita Prefecture was now only relying on the inside and outside connections of Masashi Kawata and Kazunari Fukatsu to maintain the score.
"If we play like this... it will be hard to close the gap in a short time!"
"Akagi is such a face-saver!"
In Akita Prefecture's offensive round, Shinomiya Tano had already settled in the paint early, waiting for the opponent to arrive. While he was there, Shinomiya Tano glanced at Akagi, feeling somewhat helpless. According to him, if he were to defend Kawata Masashi, he would never let the opponent play so freely. According to Jinguji Budo's scoring efficiency, at this moment, not only could he overtake the score, but the score gap could also start to widen.
Just as Shimono Shimoyama was daydreaming, everyone from Akita Prefecture entered the frontcourt. This time, Masashi Kawata did not even stay in the inside. After arriving at the frontcourt with his teammates, he directly helped Kazunari Fukatsu to provide cover.
Seeing this, Takenori Akagi, who was in the inside position, came to defend. Shinichi Maki ignored Masashi Kawata near the three-point line and went directly to the inside to chase Fukatsu. But just when he and Akagi were about to form a double-team, Kazunari Fukatsu passed the ball without looking at anyone, but passed the ball back to Masashi Kawata.
Masashi Kawata was two steps inside the three-point line and shot as soon as he received the ball without any hesitation.
“Swish!”
To everyone's surprise, a center like Masashi Kawata actually had a good long shot, and the basketball actually went into the net with a crisp sound.
Masashi Kawata, who scored the goal, met the gaze of Takenori Akagi, posed towards him and showed off his well-developed biceps.
"Among all the Sannoh players, the one who poses the greatest threat is Kawata Masashi..."
"When playing against a traditional center like Akagi, you can pull him out for a one-on-one, and when playing against a center like Kakata, you can also use your body to overpower him."
"A guy like this can definitely play as a small forward! In that case, we in Kanagawa can still let Tian Ye or Bu Dao deal with him. If he stands inside, it will be a bit troublesome..."
"What is that kid Tian Ye doing? Akagi is already beaten up, why doesn't he go and help?"
Coach Tanaoka was watching Kawata Masashi's provocative actions from the long side. He was even more angry than the person involved, Akagi Takenori, and kept muttering. In the court, facing Kawata's provocation, Akagi Takenori remained silent and ran to the front court. Shinomiya Tano was stunned when he saw this, and then quietly walked to the baseline and served the ball to Amu.
When they passed the ball, Jinguji Takeshi and Sendoh had already entered the frontcourt early. By the time Maki Shinichi brought the ball into the frontcourt, all the players from Akita Prefecture had already taken their positions and completed their defense.
Although Wudao wanted to quickly reverse the score, he did not expect that Akita Prefecture's offense was so smooth. Even if Zebei Rongji did not touch the ball, Akita Prefecture's firepower did not go out.
"We have to find a way to crack their internal and external connections..."
"But... let Coach Tanaka worry about this kind of thing."
"As for me, I'll make this guy convinced first."
Wudao looked at Zebei Rongzhi who was ready for battle, and thought to himself that he didn't have time to think about other things now. He didn't have the extra energy to cut off the internal and external connections when facing Zebei.
Soon, after entering the frontcourt, Maki Shinichi quickly passed the ball to Jinguji Takeshi. Jinguji Takeshi and Shinomiya Tano came on the court relatively late, so Maki was not worried that Takeshi would have physical problems if he kept holding the ball. Jinguji Takeshi's offensive efficiency was very high in these few balls. In this situation, he only needed to give the ball to Takeshi.
"Defeat Zebei, and by the way... see if there is a chance to ask Kawata Masashi to leave the field..."
Takeshi Jinguji dropped the ball and slightly put some distance between himself and Sendoh Eiji. He glanced at the position of Masashi Kawata in the inside and thought in his mind.
Zebei on the opposite side seemed to sense that Wudao was distracted and thought it was a good opportunity, so he immediately rushed forward and tried to steal the ball. However, just as he made a move, Wudao easily avoided the opponent's steal with a back dribble, and then quickly accelerated to break through.
When Sendo Eiji tried to steal the ball, he was already prepared for failure, so when Jinguji Takeshi was unlucky, he realized that there was no way he could successfully steal the ball. He jumped back a step and quickly caught up with Jinguji Takeshi.
Between attack and defense, the two bodies inevitably collided with each other.
"Bang!" With a dull sound, Zebei Rongzhi was pushed one step away by Jinguji Budou and was briefly off balance. But when he regained his balance, Jinguji Budou had already stopped in a hurry and took a three-point shot directly along the three-point line.
Wudao's shot had a slight fade. Not only was the shooting point high, but the shooting position was also a bit far away for Zebei, so he couldn't block it at all. He tried to raise his hand, but it only reached Wudao's chin.
It can be said to be a pull-up three-pointer without any interference. Wudao has no idea how many times he has shot this kind of ball. He feels good today, so there will be no accidents in his shooting at this time.
"Swish!" After a crisp sound, the basketball went straight through the net, and Wudao's goal once again made the stands lively.
Takeshi Jinguji's playing style gives people a light feeling. When facing Sendo Eiji, he seemed to play quite easily. Moreover, the shooting position and timing chosen by Takeshi were not optimal. In the eyes of many people, Takeshi Jinguji's shots were very abrupt. There were obviously better ways to deal with it, but Takeshi Jinguji still shot.
Unstable and light playing style, this is the impression most people have.
However, this seemingly light fighting style easily broke through the defense line of Akita Prefecture. Until now, Goro Domoto has not figured out how to defend Jinguji Budo.
Goro Domoto had never met a player like Takeshi Jinguji. Although he had seen Takeshi Jinguji play, when Takeshi Jinguji really became their opponent, he did not have a good way to limit Takeshi Jinguji from scoring.
Looking at Jinguji Budo who was scoring points at will on the field, Goro Domoto frowned and deduced various methods in his mind, but he overturned them one by one.
"Hehehe..."
"How's it going! Domoto... our Kanagawa's top scorer, isn't he awesome?!"
"You Akita... no... you Sanwang, can you stop it?"
Coach Takeo could see the struggle of Goro Domoto. It was the same when he led Ryonan to face Shohoku. His method at that time was to fight violence with violence. After all, Ryonan also had an invincible player.
But Akita Prefecture... .
