Jinguji Budo's fatal block plunged the Oak Hill College Arena into an eerie silence, but the silence did not last long as it was broken by the exclamations of the surrounding spectators.
“Ouch!
! What's wrong with that yellow man? He jumps so high! "
"He blocked it! He blocked Benny Russell! He's the starting point guard of our school basketball team!"
The audience was shocked by Jinguji Takeshi's speed and bounce, and everyone's eyes were focused on Jinguji Takeshi. But at this moment, a loud shout came from behind Takeshi:
"Hey, pass the ball quickly, the referee didn't blow the whistle!"
Wudao looked back upon hearing the voice, and happened to see the white guy on his team running quickly towards the front court after shouting this sentence. Everyone was shocked by Jinguji Wudao's block, but the white guy's mind was still on the court.
Wu Dao didn't hesitate, he just waved his hand and threw the ball to the frontcourt, and the white guy's shout successfully alerted all the other players. The two white team players outside the three-point line quickly chased after the white guy.
However, the white guy took the advantage of starting first. Although the opponent wanted to catch up, they couldn't. In the end, the white guy scored a layup in the frontcourt and successfully pulled the score to 25:14, narrowing the difference to 11 points.
"Hey, kid, are you planning to meddle in other people's business?"
Just as Wudao was watching his teammates score easily, Benny Russell, who was blocked by him, was pulled up from the ground by Stephen Jackson. After getting up, Benny Russell stared at Jinguji Wudao and said this through his teeth.
Stephen Jackson also looked at Jinguji Budo with indignation, and even the two inside players of the blue team looked at Budo with unfriendly faces. They surrounded Jinguji Budo in the center.
Wu Dao turned around and finally sensed that things seemed to be beyond his expectations.
These people seem to have some problems with the white guy in their team
If it were an ordinary person, surrounded by these four tall black guys, he would probably be timid before anyone could even speak. However, when Jinguji Budo saw this scene, he suddenly chuckled, spread his hands casually, and said:
"Haha, don't worry about it. I don't want to get involved in your business."
Wu Dao had a gentle smile on his face and continued:
"I just really hate it when someone dunks in front of me!"
"Besides, I came to Oak Hill Academy to play basketball. Stay away from all the messy things!"
When he finished speaking, Takeshi Jinguji's eyelids drooped slightly, and he looked down at Benny Russell condescendingly, with no trace of smile between his brows.
Benny Russell saw contempt in Takeshi Jinguji's eyes and immediately raised his brows. He took a step forward and wanted to grab Takeshi Jinguji's collar. Seeing this, Takeshi narrowed his eyes slightly, clenched his right fist, and was ready to attack. But when Benny Russell was about to grab Takeshi's collar, Stephen Jackson on the side was quick-witted and grabbed Benny Russell's wrist.
Benny Russell's wrist was grabbed by Stephen Jackson. He looked surprised and puzzled at Stephen Jackson beside him.
"Since he wants to play, let's play."
"Benny, don't worry, we can't lose this game."
As Stephen Jackson spoke, he loosened Benny's wrist. The referee on the sidelines was ready to enter the field to stop this "conflict", but seeing that both sides did not seem to intend to continue, he did not walk into the field.
There was no pause in the game when the conflict occurred.
Stephen Jackson looked at Jinguji Budo deeply, patted Benny on the shoulder, and went to meet his teammate who was holding the ball into the frontcourt. The two inside players of the blue team also looked at each other, and then smiled at Budo with ill intentions.
Wu Dao ignored these people. When the blue team dribbled into the frontcourt, he still cooperated with the team's defensive system, positioned himself in the mid-range, and became part of the double team defense.
The white team attacked, and the two people chasing the white guys from the blue team brought the ball into the frontcourt. The basketball was quickly passed, still to Benny Russell. The latter took the ball at the top of the arc, glanced at Jinguji Budou from a distance, and then his gaze fell back on the white guy who was defending him.
"Even if you have a yellow monkey helping you, it won't change anything."
"Steven, Lily is great, I love her!"
As Benny Russell spoke, he sped up his dribbling rhythm, and the continuous crotch dribbling was dazzling. When Steven heard this, he couldn't suppress his anger at all, and rushed forward directly, completely losing his previous calmness.
When the breakthrough opportunity came, Benny Russell dodged sideways and accelerated forward. In the blink of an eye, he passed Steven's defense. But although Steven's mind was not clear, his body's reaction was not slow. At the moment of the opponent's breakthrough, he had already turned around and chased after him.
Benny Russell pressed his body tightly against Steven's chest and quickly pressed towards the inside. When the two black guys guarding the basket on the blue team saw this, they just raised their hands symbolically but did not show any intention of moving.
Benny Russell, who was chasing Steven towards the basket, overcame Steven's defense and made a hook layup near the basket. The basketball went directly into the net, neat and clean.
"Can you defend me? You idiot!"
Benny Russell, who scored the goal, was very happy. After landing, he thrust his chest forward and bumped into Steven, causing the defenseless Steven to stagger. The referee on the sidelines seemed to be oblivious to this, as if he was already used to this kind of situation.
Benny Russell's playing style is very aggressive. Although he plays as a point guard, he is very good at dribbling. The white guy Steven on his team is about the same height as the opponent, but he is a little weaker. If the two inside players of the team don't slack off and make up for the defense, Steven's defensive strength is enough.
But if the inside line does nothing, it means that Benny Russell and Steven will be left alone. In this way, Benny Russell on the offensive side will have the upper hand. As part of the zone defense, Wu Dao should normally assist in double-teaming when Benny Russell breaks through. However, Wu Dao's attention was distracted by Stephen Jackson who was trying to cut in, so he did not immediately go to make up for the loss.
The other teammate who was helping in defense had no intention of filling in the position and just stood there watching the show.
The blue team now on the court, except Wudao, consists of three black players and one white player. Although Wudao has only been on the court for a short time, he can feel that his three black teammates do not get along with the white guy.
In this situation, Wu Dao suddenly understood why the power forward of their team, who was not a good shooter, would go to the bottom corner of the three-point line to shoot three-pointers. These three people probably have no intention of playing well.
“I don’t know what the mess is, but I can see that the three black guys are isolating the white guy.”
"That kid may not be polite, but as a teammate on the same team, isolating him is a bit too much."
"From what Stephen Jackson and the black guy I blocked just now said, it seems that the outcome of this game is related to something else?"
"Not only are these players not united, but this white guy doesn't seem to trust me, a yellow-skinned newcomer."
"I don't know if the coach knows about this."
"But it's okay. This kind of internal conflict in the team is also an opportunity for me as a newcomer!"
During the Blue Team's offensive round, Jinguji Budo trotted toward the front court. While thinking, he turned his head and looked down the court, and found that Steve Smith was surrounded by four players, who seemed to be talking about something. Budo was keenly aware that the players surrounding Coach Steve Smith were all white... .
Seeing this, Wudao shook his head and retracted his gaze. The campus basketball of this school has become more complicated. To be honest, Wudao feels really awkward and uncomfortable now.
After entering the frontcourt, he subconsciously took a position outside the three-point line. Wu Dao did not seem to be regarded as a threat by those opponents. Although Wu Dao had just shown amazing jumping ability, that was all. The White Team's defense shrank in the paint area, and Benny was left alone to defend Steven at the top of the arc, not taking Wu Dao seriously at all.
Not long after Budo got into position, Steven dribbled into the frontcourt, glanced at Jinguji Budo who was in an open position outside the three-point line, and immediately retracted his gaze, actually planning to force a shot himself.
"Open! Pass the ball!" Wu Dao saw that the other party glanced at him and didn't even look at him, so he raised his eyebrows and shouted directly. But the latter ignored him completely, and after kneeling on the spot, he accelerated and broke through. Steven's speed was good, but he didn't get rid of Benny, and was chased by Benny across the three-point line.
At the same time, the defensive players of the white team on both sides of the free throw line also double-teamed him, and the three of them surrounded Steven in an instant.
Wudao frowned when he saw this scene. Just when he was about to turn around to defend, the basketball suddenly flew out from under Steven's crotch, hit the ground and quickly bounced towards Wudao.
Under the siege of three people, Steven actually passed the ball successfully. The black guys on the white team were all surprised, but when they saw the basketball flying towards Jinguji Budo, they all breathed a sigh of relief. However, Stephen Jackson seemed to have sensed something and rushed directly towards Jinguji Budo.
His position was near the free throw line to assist Steven in defending. At this moment, he accelerated rapidly and rushed directly in front of Wu Dao.
Takeshi Jinguji, who had the ball, raised his head and bent his knees, as if he was ready to shoot a three-pointer. However, at the moment when Stephen Jackson approached, Takeshi Jinguji directly dropped the ball and rushed forward, instantly passing Stephen Jackson. In two steps, he reached the free throw line and quickly shot towards the basket.
Things are changing too fast!
From Steven being double-teamed to passing the ball to Jinguji Budo's fake move to break through, everything happened too fast.
In just two seconds, Jinguji Takeshi had broken through the defense and shot the ball towards the basket. Although the players of the White Team under the basket wanted to stop him, they had already lost the best opportunity to block him. When they jumped up to Takeshi's chest, they were hit by a huge force and fell back to the ground in an instant.
Takeshi Jinguji took the ball two steps inside the free throw line and jumped up, grabbing the ball with both hands and performing a violent dunk.
"Bang!
”
With a loud bang, the entire basketball hoop fell down violently, and the defending Hei Ge was also knocked back a step by the power of Wu Dao's slam dunk. He looked up at Jinguji Wu Dao in surprise.
He had seen this kind of dunk with such force and height before, but this was the first time he had seen it on a yellow person.
After holding the basket for a short time, Jinguji Budao landed on the ground. Without further ado, he turned around and headed back to his own half of the court. When passing Steven, Budao whispered in his ear:
"I can play with the ball, don't force yourself, just pass the ball to me!"
Wu Dao's words cannot be said to be encouragement. If someone else listens to them, they will sound like a strong mockery.
But when Steven heard these words, he perked up, and the gloomy face relaxed a little.
"Oh!
God, this guy is so awesome, is he a yellow man
“Steven! Come on, Steven, we all support you!
!”
After Takeshi Jinguji turned around and started to defend, the spectators on the sidelines finally realized what was happening and cheered. However, many of the cheers were not for Takeshi Jinguji. Most of them were encouragement and cheers for Steven.
The white players surrounding coach Steve Smith no longer circled around the coach, but stood on the sidelines, cheering loudly for Steven.
However, the enthusiastic cheers did not last long and came to an abrupt end with the White Team's attack.
After Benny entered the frontcourt with the ball, he broke through Steven, cut into the basket as if there was no one, and scored a layup. The inside players of the blue team were like standing still like wood, without any movement at all, and they started to play.
After letting his opponent score a layup again, Steven couldn't help it anymore and yelled at his team's inside player: "Carl Lewis, what are you doing? Why aren't you defending?"
"What did you promise me? Have you forgotten?"
Carl Lewis is the center of the blue team. He is over two meters tall and has a strong build. When he heard Steven's question, he did not show any shame on his face. Instead, he spread his hands and explained:
"Sorry, I think I'm going to break my promise."
"We are all teammates, and I don't want things to get too ugly."
"Since Lily has chosen to be with Benny, no matter how much you say or do, it will probably be useless."
"It's okay if you lose, Steven. You can find a better girl than Lily."
Carl Lewis finished speaking, patted Steven's shoulder earnestly, and comforted him.
"Fuck!" Steven couldn't help but cursed when he saw Carl Lewis running to the front court without even passing the ball. The other players also left the back court, making Steven's face even gloomier.
These players of their own team had no intention of winning at all. It was impossible for Steven to win this game alone. Although the yellow man seemed to be ready to play well, how could two people win against the regular players of Oak Hill Academy
Just when Steven was feeling desperate, a cold voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
"Are all the players from Oak Hill Academy trash like you?"
"His steps were loose, his concentration was slack, and none of his movements were decent. How could he not even have the will to win and the fighting spirit when he was standing on the field?"
"I thought I would meet so many great players here..."
"It seems that I was wrong. I shouldn't have chosen Oak Hill College from the beginning."
"I should have gone to Lower Merion High School earlier. Maybe I could have worked with the blacksmith."
The last sentence was spoken by Jinguji Budo to himself, but the volume of his previous words was not suppressed at all. Carl Lewis and his group who were just about to go to the front heard it, as did the students who were close to the sidelines.
Everyone's reaction was the same, and they all looked at Jinguji Budo with astonishment.
