"It was indeed the right decision for me to come to Xiangbei!"
After seeing the strong strength of Kiyota Nobunaga, Oda Ryumasa couldn't help but feel fortunate. He already regarded himself as a member of the Xiangbei High School basketball team, and Kiyota Nobunaga's strength also made him very satisfied.
Of course, in order to allow Kiyoda Nobunaga to assist me in the future, it is necessary to let Kiyoda Nobunaga see my strength today.
"2:0, your name is Kiyota Nobunaga, right?"
"I'll remember you, keep attacking!"
Oda Ryumasa looked magnanimous, pointed outside the three-point line and spoke to Kiyota Nobunaga, although what Oda Ryumasa said did not sound like a big problem at first glance.
But his arrogant attitude made Kiyota Nobunaga unhappy. Oda Ryumasa's words gave Kiyota the feeling that the other party seemed to think that he was stronger than himself
"This guy's attitude really makes me very unhappy!"
"The tone of voice like that made me think it was Jinguji-senpai who was talking to me!"
"Who does he think he is?!"
Kiyota Nobunaga walked to the basket, picked up the basketball, and walked toward the three-point line. When he passed by Oda Ryuzheng, he silently glanced at him, his eyes full of ferocity. Oda Ryuzheng's attitude had completely angered him, and he must let him see how powerful the special recruits of Xiangbei are!
"Hey, keep an eye on me, and don't... blink."
Kiyota Nobunaga stood outside the three-point line and had no intention of checking the ball with Oda Ryumasa. After he finished speaking, he looked directly at the basket, pretending to break through.
Kiyota's posture also alerted Oda Ryumasa, who lowered his center of gravity and was on guard. Kiyota Nobunaga saw that Oda Ryumasa had already prepared for defense, so he did not hesitate and directly dropped the ball with his right hand, rushing directly to his right side. Kiyota's dazzling drop action was seen by everyone.
Seeing this, Oda Ryumasa made a mistake in his steps and quickly moved sideways to follow. As he moved, Kiyoda Nobunaga's dribbling action suddenly changed. He paused, and Kiyoda Nobunaga dribbled the ball directly next to Oda Ryumasa, turned his back and quickly passed him. The basketball in his hand, while moving, landed accurately under Oda's crotch, completing the man-ball separation.
The beautiful dribbling move made everyone watching the game around exclaim in surprise. Even Jinguji Budou on the sidelines was slightly stunned when he saw this scene. He did not expect that this was a dribbling move that Kiyota Nobunaga could perform.
After breaking through Oda Ryumasa, Kiyota Nobunaga relied on his terrifying explosive power to instantly increase his speed to the maximum, rushed into the basket again, and performed a back dunk for the audience.
The visual impact of Kiyota Nobunaga's dunk made all the spectators applaud and cheer involuntarily. On the other side, Oda Ryumasa, who became the background board for Kiyota Nobunaga to pass the ball, had a confused and dull look on his face.
The spectators on the sidelines could clearly see Kiyoda Nobunaga's dribbling move, but the defender, Oda Ryumasa, still didn't understand how Kiyoda Nobunaga got past him.
"Kiyuda Nobunaga, this kid is growing so fast."
"That kind of dribbling move... Has this kid been playing street ball for the past six months?"
Generally speaking, players who come out of the campus basketball training system will not use this kind of passing method. It is not only fancy, but also has little practical value. Players who come out of the orthodox training rely on the team. Even if they are individual breakthrough techniques, they are more likely to train simple and fast passing movements such as front-body change of direction.
Kiyota Nobunaga's passing move was very imaginative, but if it were a bullfight using martial arts, he would probably just take a big step and accelerate past his opponent, then enter the basket and finish with a hook shot.
This was actually completely possible given Kiyota Nobunaga's speed advantage over Oda Ryumasa.
The cheers from the audience around him made Kiyota Nobunaga very happy, with a smile on his face. After falling back to the ground, Kiyota Nobunaga picked up the basketball, pointed at Oda Ryumasa, and shouted:
"See? This is my strength!"
"This is the strength of Xiangbei's super star!"
“Hahahahahaha!”
After scoring two goals in a row, Kiyota Nobunaga felt elated unconsciously and laughed out loud while pointing at Oda Ryumasa.
That arrogant look made the four people watching the game on the sidelines, Hanamichi Sakuragi, Rukawa Kaede, Ichiro Katsume and Koichiro Nango, all look unhappy.
Sakuragi: "What a bullshit Xiangbei super star, the wild monkey is so arrogant!
”
Rukawa Kaede: "This idiot!"
Katsumi Ichiro: "The idiot got too arrogant. The guy who was suppressed by him wasted such a good physical condition."
Nango: "I am the new superstar of Xiangbei!"
Kiyota Nobunaga didn't care what others thought. He claimed the title of "Supernova" and returned to the three-point line with the basketball. He then hooked his finger at Oda Ryumasa:
"Hey, don't fall down so easily!"
"If I lose too easily, people will think that I, the 'Shohoku super star', am not a real star!"
Everyone could see that Kiyota Nobunaga had become too proud, and his asking-for-a-beating expression made the audience feel a little annoyed. Everyone's eyes were all on Oda Ryumasa. The audience was now somewhat expecting Oda Ryumasa to teach Kiyota Nobunaga a lesson and let this guy stop being so arrogant.
Among these spectators, the ones who most wanted Kiyota Nobunaga to be defeated were undoubtedly Sakuragi Hanamichi, Nango Koichiro and others.
"Xiaotian, you better defend yourself!"
"Don't let this wild monkey go on running rampant!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi's butt has already leaned towards Oda. I hope Oda can cheer up.
However, Oda scoffed at Sakuragi's encouragement.
"This layman has no idea how powerful this guy is!"
Oda Ryumasa didn't know whether Sakuragi Hanamichi could play basketball, and regarded Sakuragi's encouragement as a mockery from an outsider.
"It's 4:0, I'm going to keep attacking!"
Kiyota Nobunaga held the ball between his waist and gave a reminder.
After the words fell, Kiyota Nobunaga directly dropped the ball to the right, and with a jerk, he pretended to break through to the right. However, the next second, he affected Oda Ryumasa's defense and quickly changed direction. With a simple jerk and a disguise, he actually passed Oda Ryumasa in the blink of an eye and rushed to the inside.
This time, Oda Ryumasa finally reacted and tried hard to follow Kiyota, and his speed was not much slower than Kiyota's.
There is not much distance from the three-point line to the basket. Although Kiyota Nobunaga is much faster than Oda Ryumasa, he cannot create too much distance if Oda Ryumasa reacts in time.
Soon, the two players, one attacking and one defending, quickly approached the basket. Kiyota Nobunaga took the ball and jumped, holding the basketball high, gliding towards the basket. This time, Oda Ryumasa's defense was also successful, raising his arms high to block Kiyota Nobunaga's shooting route.
Just when Oda Ryumasa thought that his defense was successful, he was surprised to find that Kiyota Nobunaga had a smile on his face. He actually caught the ball in the air and shot it towards the basket with a hook shot.
The high parabola of the shot easily passed Oda Ryumasa's defense and then hit the backboard and went into the net.
The basketball went into the net, and Kiyota Nobunaga looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi, as if to say, "Did you see that? My performance!"
Seeing that Kiyota Nobunaga was able to move freely under Oda Ryumasa's defense, Sakuragi was so anxious that he stamped his feet.
He was not worried about Oda's disadvantage because he was his classmate in junior high school. He was worried because Kiyoda Nobunaga became famous and he did not have such an opportunity!
Seeing Sakuragi Hanamichi stamping his feet anxiously, Kiyota Nobunaga smiled and retracted his gaze to Oda Ryumasa, thinking:
"This guy looks about the same height as the red-haired monkey and the wild fox, but his jumping and air-staying abilities are much worse."
"It's so easy to layup in front of a guy like this!"
Kiyota Nobunaga sighed in his heart, and recalled the subject of "anti-interference layup" in the Xiangbei basketball team training. During the team training, the defensive opponents were Rukawa Kaede, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Nanxiang. The jumping and air stamina of these people were far better than Oda Ryumasa.
When facing these people, it was not easy for Kiyota Nobunaga to lay up, and the number of times he could successfully pull up and lay up was quite limited. But now facing Oda Ryumasa's defense, Kiyota Nobunaga felt that layup was really easy and he did not feel any defensive pressure at all.
After several attacks and defenses, Kiyota Nobunaga had a rough estimate of Oda Ryumasa's strength, which was... probably at the level of an excellent junior high school student.
There is no comparison with a genius like him!
Thinking this in his heart, Kiyota Nobunaga picked up the basketball and walked towards the three-point line again, preparing for the next attack.
After the two of them had several attacks and defenses, even those who didn't know much about basketball could see the gap between Oda Ryumasa and Kiyota Nobunaga. Wu Dao shook his head. It was really foolish for a traditional center player without speed to play a bullfight with a player like Kiyota. If the half was reduced by half, it would be difficult for Kiyota to win. Unfortunately, this was impossible.
Today, Oda Ryumasa will probably be taught a good lesson by Kiyota Nobunaga, a lesson called "the small defeats the big".
As the game progressed, the situation of the fight between Kiyota Nobunaga and Oda Ryumasa turned out just as Jinguji Budo had expected. Kiyota Nobunaga used this game to show everyone what it meant to be a small team against a big team.
Kiyota Nobunaga had a very strong dribbling foundation. In the bullfight with Oda, his dribbling and passing moves were fancy and his pace was extremely fast. When facing Oda, it was like an experienced street basketball player facing a slow-moving center.
The feeling given by the game was that Kiyota Nobunaga was playing tricks on Oda Ryumasa the whole time. Occasionally, when Kiyota failed to score, during the transition from offense to defense, Kiyota Nobunaga would also perform a classic small-sided defense against a big-sided opponent, using his speed, stealing and blocking shots from the back position.
Throughout the game, Oda Ryumasa didn't score a layup, and the few times he scored were forced shots after a stop. He occasionally scored, but it was not enough to support him to win the game.
As the game progressed, the gap between the two players widened, and Oda Ryuzheng felt more and more embarrassed, and his defensive actions became more intense, resulting in several fouls. However, Kiyota Nobunaga did not say anything about it, and continued to play as usual after the free throws, not afraid of Oda Ryuzheng's fouls at all.
Seeing that Kiyota Nobunaga was so tough, Oda Ryumasa slowly calmed down and stopped making any extraordinary moves. In the end, Kiyota Nobunaga crushed Oda Ryumasa with a score of 101:37 and won the victory.
"With your strength, you dare to brazenly say that you want Senior Jinguji to assist you?"
"Don't even mention asking him to assist you. You don't even have the qualifications to assist him!"
"Maybe you were the soul of the basketball team when you were in junior high school, but now that you're in Xiangbei, you should keep a low profile!"
"You'll look ignorant if you do this!"
On the court, Kiyota Nobunaga held the ball with one hand, panting heavily, and spoke to the dazed Oda Ryumasa. Sweat had soaked his clothes, and the 100-point battle with Oda Ryumasa had consumed a lot of Kiyota's energy. Although Oda Ryumasa's strength was mediocre, his defensive attitude was very good and tough.
In order to defeat the opponent, Kiyota Nobunaga also put in a lot of physical effort.
After saying that, Kiyota Nobunaga raised his middle finger towards Sakuragi Hanamichi on the sidelines, ignored the furious Sakuragi, walked to the sidelines, stuffed the ball back into the bag, and then of course looked for Jinguji Takeshi in the crowd, wanting to get praise from this senior.
But Kiyoda Nobunaga looked around and didn't find Jinguji Budo. Not finding Jinguji Budo, Kiyoda Nobunaga didn't continue looking, turned around and glanced at Oda Ryumasa, then left the gym with the ball on his back.
"What a loser! He actually lost to a wild monkey! Bastard!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi cursed softly, and when he saw Kiyota Nobunaga leave, he also left the gym dissatisfied. Kiyota was in the spotlight today, which made Sakuragi quite unhappy. On the first day of officially entering Shohoku, his fame had been suppressed by Kiyota Nobunaga!
As the excitement died down, the students who were watching the game left the stadium one after another. In today's game, they all knew that a freshman named Kiyota Nobunaga had come to Xiangbei High School. At the same time, Kiyota Nobunaga was also remembered by all the students who watched the game.
As for the loser Oda Ryumasa? He was just a loser.
...
afternoon.
In the second-grade classroom of Xiangbei, Jinguji Takeshi was lying on his seat with his head facing the window, dozing off. The familiar smell of books in the classroom made Takeshi sleepy. Fortunately, he had not completely recovered from the jet lag since returning to Kanagawa, so he took advantage of the fact that he had no classes today to catch up on some sleep.
While Budo was submitting the application, Mitsui Hisashi had already collected all the applications received today and handed them to Coach Anzai according to their positions. At the same time, he chatted with Coach Anzai about team training and selection, as well as the "100% Battle" that took place in the gym.
This year, the basketball team received as many as 121 applications for admission, several times more than in previous years.
Coach Anzai did not find this difficult. To him, it was just a small matter. While receiving these applications for admission, Coach Anzai was also planning future training in his mind.
After Mitsui Hisashi left, Coach Anzai found an application from Oda Ryumasa from among the many applications for admission and read it carefully.
"Graduated from Wako Junior High School, currently a freshman at Shohoku, 185cm tall, 76kg, C, PF."
"With this physique, it's not possible to play center or power forward!"
"Being able to fight like that with Kiyota, he has some training value. For the time being... let's see more during the freshman training match."
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .
