Sawakita Eiji scored a layup against Jinguji Takeshi, which boosted the morale of all the players from Akita Prefecture. However, they did not notice that Jinguji Takeshi, who had always had a faint smile on his face, now looked solemn.
Except for Shimonoseki Tano, who knew Jinguji Budo best, the other players from Kanagawa Prefecture on the field could sense the changes in Jinguji Budo's aura.
Shinichi Maki didn't know whether this change in Jinguji Budou's aura was a good thing or a bad thing, so when he dribbled across the center line into the frontcourt, he did not choose to give the ball to Jinguji Budou immediately. Instead, he hesitated, thinking in his heart what kind of offense and defense they, Kanagawa Prefecture, should choose in this round.
"Amu! Give the ball to Budo!"
Shigong Tianye didn't give Maki Shinichi much time to think. Seeing that Maki Shinichi didn't pass the ball immediately after entering the frontcourt, he immediately shouted. At the same time, he quickly cut into the inside and stood outside the paint area near the baseline, waiting for Jinguji Budou to launch an attack.
"Give it to Takeshi? But..." Maki Shinichi glanced at Takeshi Jinguji outside the three-point line and found that Takeshi Jinguji was not looking at him at this time. Instead, he bent his waist and looked at Zebei Rongji in front of him.
"Are you in a trance? Is your concentration on martial arts distracted?"
Maki Shinichi thought to himself, and just during the moment he hesitated, Fukatsu Kazunari seized the flaw in Maki Shinichi's dribbling, quickly rushed forward, and slapped the basketball.
The basketball rolled out of Maki Shinichi's hands and rolled towards the center line.
Kazunari Fukatsu's expression lit up with joy, and he quickly passed Shinichi Maki, trying to catch the ball, but Shinichi Maki behind him made a somersault, fell to the ground quickly, and held the ball in his arms.
At the same time, Jinguji Budo, who had been staring at Zebei Rongji, suddenly started moving and quickly rushed towards Maki Shinichi, while Fukatsu Kazunari directly grabbed the basketball in Maki Shinichi's hand. He knew that it was impossible to steal the ball in this situation, but there was still hope of fighting for a ball!
"Quick! Ah Mu, pass the ball!"
When Shigong Tianye saw this scene, he immediately shouted loudly, but his body did not move at all, and he had no intention of leaving the inside.
Although he did not expect Maki Shinichi to make a mistake, he did not think that Maki Shinichi would hesitate under such circumstances.
Sure enough, just as Shinomiya Tano expected, Maki Shinichi hugged the basketball and without any hesitation, he quickly sent the ball to Jinguji Budou, preventing Fukatsu Kazunari from succeeding. At the same time, the basketball finally landed in Jinguji Budou's hands.
On the defensive side, Sawakita Eiji quickly moved forward after Jinguji Takeshi got the basketball and blocked Jinguji Takeshi's way.
Jinguji Budou, who got the ball, moved without any hesitation. He dropped the ball and rushed forward, his body directly pressed against Zebei Rongji, chasing Zebei Rongji and rushing towards the three-point line.
Zebei Rongji's strength is far inferior to Jinguji Budou's. With this level of physical confrontation, he has no way to affect Jinguji Budou's dribbling rhythm. All he can do is slow down Jinguji Budou's moving speed. However, although it is called a delay, Budou's advancing speed is still very fast.
Zebei, who was chasing with crab steps, gradually lost his position and started running behind Jinguji Budo.
Exactly the same, exactly the same way he defended Jinguji Budo in the previous round.
Soon, Takeshi Jinguji was driven into the inside, and at the same time, Masashi Kawata in the inside decisively let go of his defense on Takenori Akagi, quickly moved up to provide defense, and formed a double-team with Eiji Sawakita from the front and back.
However, this time, Takeshi Jinguji's attack speed did not slow down. He quickly came in front of Masashi Kawata and jumped up. Masashi Kawata was not to be outdone. He stared at the basketball in Takeshi Jinguji's hands, raised his arms high, jumped high, and blocked all the routes in front of him that could lead to a goal.
And Zebei Rongzhi behind Wudao also jumped up almost at the same time, blocking Wudao's head with his right hand to block his shot.
In the air, Takeshi Jinguji's body collided directly with Masashi Kawata's body, but Takeshi Jinguji grabbed the ball with one hand and raised it above his head. The strong impact did not cause Takeshi to lose his balance, and even his shooting posture with one hand did not change at all.
Masashi Kawata and Eiji Sawakita's blocks arrived almost at the same time, and three hands pressed towards the basketball in Takeshi's hand. But just when they were about to block the basketball, Takeshi grabbed the ball with his right hand and moved to the side, avoiding the block of the two people in the air.
At the same time, due to the collision between Takeshi and Kawata Masashi, Kawata Masashi lost his upward momentum and began to fall rapidly. Although Sawakita Eiji was better, he also began to fall.
The two men raised their arms from above Wudao's head to the same level as Wudao's head.
It was not until now that the two of them realized with surprise that Jinguji Budo was still in the air and was even maintaining an upward momentum.
The right hand he used to grab the ball was nearly 20 centimeters longer than the two people's arms.
"This..." Kawata Masashi and Sawakita Eiji, who were falling, widened their eyes in surprise, but in their sight, was Jinguji Budou, who, after the two of them fell, shot a light one-handed shot near the basket, and the basketball hit the backboard at an oblique angle, and then quickly bounced back into the basket.
"Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me?!"
"Such a blockade can actually be broken through?!"
Jinguji Budou's goal stunned the Akita players on the sidelines. Everyone thought that Jinguji Budou, who was trapped in a double team, would definitely fail this time. But they didn't expect that Jinguji Budou would break through the blockade of two people so easily and score the ball.
The audience in the stands also burst into amazing cheers at this time. In their eyes, they just saw Jinguji Takeshi break into the inside and then score the ball despite the defense of two people. From the breakthrough to the goal, Liu Chang did it smoothly and easily, giving people the illusion that he could do it too.
But only those who have actually fought know how difficult Jinguji Budo's layup is, and how terrifying his strength is.
Anyone who can do this kind of layup must have a prerequisite, that is, absolute air stay and absolute jumping advantage!
The opponent that Jinguji Budou faced was not some random guy from a crappy school. He was facing the top powerhouses in today's high school basketball, the starting center and starting small forward of Sanno Industrial.
The athletic talents of Masashi Kawata and Eiji Sawakita are already at the top level in the country.
But in terms of absolute air stay and absolute bounce, these two people are far behind Jinguji Budo!
"Hehe... Budo is about to start..."
"Double-team? If the opponent is an ordinary person, this method would definitely be very useful, but unfortunately, you are facing Jinguji Budo."
“Maybe Kawata Masashi and Sawakita Eiji do have a great rapport and excellent defensive skills, but the prerequisite for defending Jinguji Budou is that you must have the same dynamic talent as him!”
"If even this premise cannot be achieved, then in front of Jinguji Budo, there is not much difference between one person's defense and two people's defense."
When Coach Tanaoka on the sidelines saw Jinguji Takeshi easily put the ball into the basket, a bright smile appeared on his face.
From the very beginning, he didn't think that the players from Akita Prefecture had the ability to defend against Jinguji Budo's attack. Even Ryonan High School couldn't do it, so how could Akita Prefecture and Sanno Industrial do it
At that time, even if Shinomiya Tano and Sendoh joined forces, they were unable to force Jinguji Budou into a desperate situation. He didn't think that Kawata Masashi and Sawakita Eiji could do better than Shinomiya Tano and Sendoh.
"Pain... despair!"
"In the face of absolute talent, all your efforts are in vain."
Coach Takeo grinned and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Seeing Jinguji Budou acting recklessly on the court, Coach Takeo felt very fortunate. Fortunately, their Ryonan High School also had a player of this level.
On the field, the players from Kanagawa Prefecture have begun to quickly return to defense.
After a long period of shock, the players from Akita Prefecture finally came to their senses and served forward.
Zebei Rongzhi trotted into the front court, his eyes always fixed on Jinguji Budou. This was the first time that Jinguji Budou used his physical advantage to this extent to launch an attack.
In between, there were only breakthroughs of changing rhythm and projections like surprise attacks. Zebei Rongzhi only thought that Jinguji Budo was very strong before, but not so strong that he was helpless. He felt that as long as he cooperated with his teammates and used the power of the team, he would definitely be able to seal Jinguji Budo.
But now, Zebei no longer has such thoughts in his mind.
Jinguji Budou, like Shinomiya Tano, possessed a certain kind of absolute talent, which was something that he and the players from Akita Prefecture could hardly reach. He had seen this kind of player during the summer training camp in the United States. He thought that only Shinomiya Tano had reached that level in the country, but he did not expect that Jinguji Budou, who was as famous as Shinomiya Tano, also had such strength.
In fact, Jinguji Budo is more terrifying than Shinomiya Tano on the offensive end.
"Hey, kid."
"Attack!"
"Just like before, don't be polite to me!"
"Today, I will play with you guys!"
After Zebei Rongji entered the frontcourt, Jinguji Takeshi quickly came in front of him. Changing his usual style, Jinguji Takeshi hooked his finger at Zebei Rongji and said provocatively.
Standing on this court, facing the strong opponent, Jinguji Budo's blood has begun to boil.
It must be an enemy as strong as Akita Prefecture to be worthy of being crushed by him!
It was the first time that Zebei Rongzhi felt such a strong fighting spirit from Jinguji martial arts. Before, Jinguji martial arts gave him a sharp feeling, but that sharpness was cold. But now, this sharpness became hot.
Soon, Kazunari Fukatsu entered the frontcourt with the ball. Since Zebei had performed well in offense before, Kazunari Fukatsu decided to pass the ball to Zebei again.
The basketball was passed into the ball and smoothly landed in the hands of Zebei Rongji. Neither Maki Shinichi nor Jinguji Budou intended to stop it.
With the basketball in hand, Zebei Rongji took tentative steps with the ball with a serious expression, trying to find a gap to break through.
However, Jinguji Takeshi on the defending side was not moved at all. Although Zebei had enough space to drop the ball and break through, he did not do so facing Jinguji Takeshi. He knew that if he made a tentative charge, Jinguji Takeshi would definitely be able to catch up.
Zebei straightened up surprisingly calmly and made a pick-and-roll gesture to his teammates. Fukatsu Kazunari on the side reacted quickly this time and immediately came forward. However, his movement was also noticed by Wudao. Before the opponent completed the pick-and-roll, Wudao took two steps back and went around to defend.
With a wide open space, Zebei Rongji did not hesitate at all. He hid behind the pick-and-roll by Fukatsu and shot a three-pointer directly along the three-point line.
"I'm not just good at breaking through, shooting is also my best offensive method!"
Zebei Rongzhi also has the ability to shoot three-pointers. Seeing the opportunity, he shot a three-pointer. However, just as the basketball was shot, a black shadow jumped high across the entire body of Fukatsu Kazunari and slapped the basketball in the air.
“Wha…..what!!!”
The one who suddenly jumped out to block the shot was Jinguji Onmyouji. A red light quickly leaped from Zebei Rongzhi's face and bounced towards his own backcourt. Maki Shinichi and Sendoh reacted quickly and ran directly to the frontcourt.
However, the pursuing Matsumoto and Fukatsu were a beat slow to react. Amu and Sendoh cooperated with each other in the frontcourt and easily shook off Matsumoto with a pass. Then Sendoh rushed into the basket and scored a dunk.
However, the goal did not cause a sensation among the audience. The field was silent at this moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on Jinguji Takeshi.
"Hey, hey, hey, that's too exaggerated..."
"There was a person in between them, about two meters apart, how could this be blocked? Or was it a three-point shot?"
"That Bounce... Is this guy Jinguji Budou really a high school student?"
"Blocking the opponent's three-pointer from nearly two meters away... What kind of feeling is that? I really want to experience it myself!"
In the stands, after a few seconds of silence, some spectators began to discuss, and the cheers also broke out after a delay of a few seconds. Sendoh and Amu knew that these cheers were not for them, but for Jinguji Budou.
In fact, both of them were also shocked by Jinguji Budou's performance. They definitely could not do that kind of block.
Perhaps, after several years, only the young man named Fat Tiger will be able to understand the feeling of Jinguji martial arts at this moment.
"Is that all?"
"Zebei, is this the limit of your strength?"
Jinguji Budo walked up to Zebei Rongji, placed his right palm facing up in front of his chest, and asked Zebei Rongji.
He had already planned to give his all, but if Zebei just stalled like that, it would be too boring!
“… … .”
Zebei Rongzhi looked at Jinguji Budao in front of him without saying a word. He felt a terrifying sense of oppression from Jinguji Budao, a feeling that was even stronger than when he faced Shigong Tianye.
It was so strong that he felt a little suffocated.
