Mori Shigehiro scored three consecutive points over Uozumi Jun's head. Even Coach Tanabe couldn't remain calm and jumped up from his seat in shock.
The supporters of Ryonan were also silent. Mori Shigehiro's previous attacks could be understood as Yuzumi not being serious and not getting into the game state, but this time, everyone saw clearly that Yuzumi had indeed made an effort, but even so, his defense was still broken by Mori Shigehiro.
If it was Akagi Takenori from Shohoku High School or Kazuma Takasago from Kainan who broke through Uozumi today, the audience would not be as surprised as they are now. After all, both Akagi and Takasago are third-year players with rich experience in major competitions, so it is understandable that they were able to break through Uozumi's blockade.
But the one who broke through Yuzumi today was a little-known freshman from Hainan, Mori Shigehiro, wearing the No. 15 jersey.
"It's incredible! Number 15 is even stronger than the monster Yuzumi!"
"Could it be that Hainan can beat Ryonan today? Is the situation in Kanagawa going to change?!"
"How is that possible? Lingnan's Shigong Tianye and Sendoh haven't used their strength yet. If they open up, Hainan will definitely not be able to stop them."
At this moment, the audience in the stands began to discuss. Hainan's inside strength was very high. Some people felt that with the help of Mori Shigehiro, Hainan had a chance to defeat Ryonan. Of course, there were also Ryonan supporters who expressed opposition.
But all in all, at this moment, the audience no longer blindly believes in Ryonan High School.
"Hey! Yuzumi!"
"Come back to your senses!"
On the court, Yuzumi Jun was lost in thought as he watched Mori Shigehiro leave. Fujima ran to the backcourt to catch the ball, and when he saw Yuzumi's expression, he immediately reminded him.
After coming back to his senses, Yuzumi was still not focused enough. He was stunned for a few seconds before he went to the baseline to serve the ball. The force of his serve was a little light. Fujima took a step forward before he caught the basketball. At the same time, he also noticed something unusual about Yuzumi.
"Yuzumi, this guy, is his concentration starting to waning?!"
"The game has just started. Given his mental quality, this shouldn't happen."
"Is it because he was disappointed after being scored against by the first-year students?"
Fujima, who noticed that Yuzumi was abnormal, did not continue to remind him. He knew that reminding him at this time might not be useful, but might further hurt Yuzumi's self-esteem.
The best way now is to let Yuzhu come out on his own!
As long as Yuzumi can score over the opponent's head, or can stop the opponent's attack, then Yuzumi's psychological barrier will completely disappear!
"Fujima!"
"Give him the ball!"
Shigong Tianye also noticed Yuzumi Jun's current state, pointed at Yuzumi Jun who entered the front court, and shouted loudly to Fujima. Although he and Fujima did not communicate much, they had formed a tacit understanding in handling the ball at this time.
Soon, the Ryonan players entered the frontcourt.
Yuzumi Jun, who had just entered the paint, just stood under the basket, apparently preparing to grab a rebound, and did not take a position. This made Fujima, who was about to pass the ball to Yuzumi, pause.
"Hey, Yuzumi, come out and get the ball!"
Yuzumi was standing too deep, and Fujima couldn't pass the ball to the opponent, so he shouted immediately.
Yuzumi, who heard this, suddenly realized something and rushed out from the inside to receive the ball from Fujima. However, the place where he received the ball this time was a little far from the basket, which was not his most comfortable offensive position.
"Hey, Ryonan-senpai."
“Don’t push yourself.”
Mori Shigehiro followed behind Yuzumi silently, his chest pressed against Yuzumi's back, his arms raised high.
"What?!"
The ridicule from the enemy brought Yuzumi Jun back to his senses instantly, and a look of deep anger appeared on his face.
"Bang!" After a blast, Yuzumi Jun forced a back-to-back hit, and the terrifying force poured directly onto Mori Shigehiro. And this time, Yuzumi Jun exerted more power than any previous time.
The ridicule from the young opponent completely stimulated Jun Yuzumi's potential.
"Hmm?!"
Mori Shigehiro was pushed back by Yuzumi Jun, and was somewhat surprised that Yuzumi's strength was so great. He immediately put away his contempt, lowered his center of gravity, and withstood Yuzumi's second wave of back attack.
“Peng!
!”
However, this time, Yuzumi's back attack failed to succeed. Yuzumi's angry back attack could only push Mori Shigekuan half a step away. The opponent's legs were completely rooted in the ground, pressing against Mori Shigekuan's body. Yuzumi seemed to be pressing against a concrete wall.
"That guy is stronger than Yuzumi!" Shigong Tianye had been observing Yuzumi's matchup. Seeing that Yuzumi's second back attack could only create a tiny gap, he immediately made a judgment and shouted:
"Yuzumi, don't use brute force, use your feet and feint!"
Although Shigong Tianye shouted loudly, Yuzumi did hear it, but Shigong Tianye seemed to have forgotten that Yuzumi in their team was a rough guy...
Although Yuzumi is now a junior, he has probably only practiced basketball for two and a half years. Moreover, Coach Tanoka has always positioned Yuzumi as a high-end blue-collar player. With the likes of Shinomiya Tano, Sendoh, and Fujima, it is impossible for Yuzumi to hold the ball and attack.
Even if Ryonan wants to attack from the inside, the starting point is Huaxing who has the ability to shoot from long range.
Yuzumi has an attack, but his attack relies on strength and height, not skills... .
Compared to Uozumi, Akagi Takenori has much richer skills under the basket.
After all, Akagi has been playing basketball since he was a child. As for why Akagi was able to hit his feet while dribbling when he just entered Xiangbei, this is easy to understand, because Akagi had no professional training in elementary and middle school, and he relied on himself to practice. Moreover, in the basketball team in elementary and middle school, the team also used him as a center.
Dribbling? That's not something that an inside player like Akagi needs to practice. Just standing under the basket and catching the ball is enough. But after Akagi came to Xiangbei High School, things were different. Coach Anxi, who attaches great importance to basic skills, how could he tolerate a player dribbling and hitting his feet? !
After his dribbling skills improved, Akagi, who had always regarded Mitsui as his rival, naturally practiced some offensive skills under the basket. How could a center who could only score at the basket compete with a junior high school MVP like Mitsui
However, Yuzumi in Ryonan did not get perfect low-post training. Although Coach Takeo improved Yuzumi's physical fitness, he did not give Yuzumi too much guidance in terms of technology. Yuzumi was also very adaptable to blue-collar work and did not occupy the ball.
“Pah~~”
With a slight sound, after realizing that the back-to-the-basket attack was not working, Uozumi Jun turned and broke through, but his movement was too easy to judge, and Mori Shigehiro poked the basketball from behind and completed the steal.
"What?!"
Mori Shige has long arms and fast speed, and the sudden steal made Yuzumi freeze again. He didn't seem to expect that the opponent would be so sharp.
"Hello!"
"Yuzumi, you are so out of control!"
However, at this moment, a blue shadow suddenly flashed out from behind Yuzumi, picked up the basketball that was about to fall to the ground, dribbled the ball once, and took two steps to bypass Yuzumi Jun and Mori Shigehiro and invaded the basket.
“Shinomiya Field!
”
Kazuma Takasago, who was also guarding the basket, saw the person coming and his scalp immediately tingled. He forced himself to take a step forward to defend. However, he had just taken a step when Shinomiya Tano, who was more than a meter away from the basket, jumped up with the ball and dunked it into the basket with one hand.
"Bang!
”
Takasago Kazuma, who was standing under the basket, felt his eyes go dark, and Shinomiya Tano had already ridden on his head to complete a slam dunk. The huge movement during the slam dunk made all the audience stunned, and then burst into amazing cheers.
“ohhhh!
!
!”
"Ryonan!
! Ryonan!
!”
"Shigong Tianye! Shigong Tianye is starting to exert his strength!"
The cheers of the audience poured into the arena. After falling back to the ground, Shinomiya Tano only glanced at Takasago Kazuma, then turned his head and walked to Yuzumi. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the back of Yuzumi's head, and pressed his forehead against Yuzumi's forehead, and whispered:
"Fish stay!"
"Wake up!"
"Your strength is definitely not limited to this. Your concentration has decreased!"
"If you can't play the game properly, get off the court and don't get in my way!"
The second-year student Shinomiya Tano didn't give Yuzumi Jun any face at all. Although his voice was relatively low, Mori Shigehiro, who was close, could still hear it. Mori Shigehiro didn't expect that the second-year student Shinomiya Tano would dare to talk to the third-year senior like this, and couldn't help but look at Shinomiya Tano a few more times.
After saying this, Shinomiya Tano glanced coldly at Mori Shigehiro who was not far away, and a smile suddenly appeared on his cold face.
"Boy, I'm looking forward to seeing you!"
"Try... to stop me!"
For some reason, Shinomiya Tano's smile made Mori Shigehiro feel creepy, and an invisible pressure instantly enveloped his whole body.
"This person... is Shinomiya Tano from Ryonan High School?"
"What a strong spirit."
Mori Shigehiro lowered his eyelids, turned his head and ran to the front court. His calm heart suddenly became hot. This feeling was not felt when he was playing against Yuzumi Jun. Mori Shigehiro did not feel too much pressure from Yuzumi.
But the feeling of facing Shinomiya Tano at this time was completely different from that of facing Yuzumi.
"Shigong Tianye....he can't help it..."
"Now is the real test for A-Kuan. You must hold on! A-Kuan!"
The tall coach on the sidelines was watching what was happening on the field. The folding fan in his hand had been folded and was held tightly in his hand.
Transition from offense to defense.
Hainan launched an attack. Although Maki Shinichi, who had the ball, didn't know what Shinomiya Tano and Yuzumi had just said, he could feel that Yuzumi's demeanor had changed slightly. He knew that the center of Ryonan had completely recovered from the blow.
"Now, Shinomiya Tano should start paying attention to the inside, so we have to be careful in attacking."
Maki Shinichi dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, but until he approached the three-point line, Shinomiya Tano's defense had not yet come up. He just stood inside the three-point line waiting for Maki Shinichi to take the initiative to attack, which was completely different from his previous close defense.
Shinomiya Tano completely missed Maki Shinichi's three-pointer and stood closer to the inside, and Maki Shinichi understood what this meant in an instant.
It can be imagined that if he still gave the ball to Mori Shigehiro, Shinomiya Tano would definitely double-team the opponent and would not give Mori Shigehiro the opportunity to score alone.
but... ..
"A Kuan, it's not what you think..."
Maki Shinichi easily passed the ball to the inside, and tried hard to block Mori Shigehiro who was trying to get the ball, while he quickly cut into the inside.
Shinomiya Tanano watched the basketball fall into Mori Shigehiro's hands and was just about to double-team him, but saw the direction of Maki Shinichi's movement. His expression froze and he decisively gave up double-teaming Mori Shigehiro and chased after Maki Shinichi.
Whether it is letting Maki Shinichi face Yuzumi alone or letting Mori Shigehiro face Yuzumi alone, it is not a good thing. Comparing the two, it is better to let Mori Shigehiro face Yuzumi alone!
"Hanagata! Take a look!"
Shinomiya Tano chased Maki Shinichi and prevented him from getting the ball in the paint while reminding Hanagata. After receiving Shinomiya Tano's instructions, Hanagata Toru immediately distanced himself from Takasago and moved towards the side of Mori Shigehiro and Uozumi, ready to provide backup defense at any time.
Mori Shigehiro, who had the ball, also shot from a high position. He held the ball, made a fake shot, and then quickly dropped the ball and rushed forward. After being blocked by Yuzumi, he turned his back nimbly, passed Yuzumi, and instantly invaded the basket, holding the ball in both hands and jumped up.
“Don’t even think about it!
”
Mori Shigehiro's nimble turn and dribble surprised everyone, but at this time, Hanagata had already reached the basket. Facing Mori Shigehiro who was trying to dunk, Hanagata jumped up and pressed directly to the basketball with both hands.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Hanagata's defense was very good, and his hands were accurately pressed on the basketball. However, Hanagata Toru was unable to resist Mori Shigehiro's great strength. Although he had already pressed both hands on the basketball, Hanagata's hands were forcibly pressed down by Mori Shigehiro, and the basketball was also slammed into the basket by Mori Shigehiro, making a loud noise.
An amazing dunk was performed on the high school court.
Hua Xing fell back to the ground rapidly and staggered. He was actually unstable and sat down on the ground. He looked up in surprise at Mori Shigekuan who was hanging in the basket.
Mori Shigehiro, who was holding the basket with one hand, was also looking down at Hanagata Toru. The other's face of surprise made him very satisfied.
Mori Shigehiro really enjoyed the feeling of looking down at people from a high position. The surprised Hanagata lying on the ground made his adrenaline surge, and his face showed an intoxicated expression. He held the basket with one hand, looking at Hanagata, and did not let go for a long time.
“Beep, beep, beep!
”
"That No. 15, why don't you come down!"
However, just as Mori Shigehiro was immersed in this feeling, the referee's quick whistle brought him back to reality.
Technical foul!
Because Mori Shigehiro hung on the basket for too long, the referee gave him a technical foul.
Coach Gaotou, who was off the court, smiled helplessly when he saw Mori Shigehiro being penalized for a technical foul. Although his players got technical fouls, Coach Gaotou's face was full of smiles.
Mori Shigehiro's dunk was a great morale booster, and getting a technical foul was not a big deal. Of course, the premise is that Mori Shigehiro does not make the same mistake again and controls his number of fouls.
Although Mori Shigehiro was called for a technical foul, the faces of everyone in Ryonan were not very good at this time.
Mori Shigehiro's flexibility was beyond everyone's expectations, and Hanagata's dunk was blocked, which also greatly hit the morale of their team.
Shimono looked at his teammates who were looking at him in silence and breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that from now on, they, Ryonan, could not waste any more offensive opportunities, otherwise, their morale would be crushed.
"A super newcomer..."
"He's really strong, a bankrupt version of a young shark. I don't know how Ryonan is going to deal with this guy."
“It’s very tricky!”
Takeshi Jinguji in the stands also straightened up with great interest, ready to see how Ryonan would deal with this "young shark" from Hainan. He knew that Shinomiya Tano could no longer sit idly by.
