Jinguji Budo's consecutive goals made the spectators watching the game couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Unlike the simple pull-up shots in the first half, Jinguji Budo showed an unprecedented desire to attack in the second half. He no longer stood in the corner waiting for the pass from his teammates, but began to actively shuttle around the court, looking for every defensive loophole of Hainan High School.
And Takeshi Jinguji's offensive style was also extremely comprehensive. His footwork when breaking through was truly "flashy" in the eyes of the audience of this era. Combined with Takeshi Jinguji's fadeaway jump shot, a super ace with elegant style and chic shooting was displayed in front of everyone.
Although before the game, Coach Takato had already formulated a method to deal with Jinguji Budou, intending to have Mori Shigehiro cooperate with Maki Shinichi to curb Jinguji Budou's scoring, but when Jinguji Budou really opened fire, Coach Takato finally realized that this level of double-teaming would not work in front of Jinguji Budou.
The double-team combination of one inside and one outside was not enough to stop Jinguji Budou from scoring. Often, Jinguji Budou had already taken action before Mori Shigehiro and Maki Shinichi formed a siege.
Coach Takato naively thought that even if Maki Shinichi couldn't defend against Jinguji Budou, he could still delay the opponent's attack. But in fact, in front of Jinguji Budou, Maki Shinichi's defense was basically useless. Whenever Jinguji Budou approached the three-point line, any position could be Jinguji Budou's end position.
This sophomore ace of Xiangbei High School has no blind spots in attack!
The continuous loss of points made the Hainan players anxious. Although their team's offense was still very smooth and the scoring was uninterrupted, it was precisely because of this that every time Jinguji Budo scored that they felt pressured.
Even with the combined strength of the entire Hainan team, there was no way to widen the score. Every time they scored, Jinguji Takeshi would take the points back in the blink of an eye. It seemed that this game was not a match between Shohoku High School and Hainan, but a match between Jinguji Takeshi and Hainan!
13 minutes into the second half, the score between the two teams had reached 67:59. Only thirteen minutes after the start of the second half, Jinguji Takeshi's personal data had increased by more than ten points.
The terrifying offensive firepower overwhelmed Hainan.
On the court, in the offensive round of Shohoku High School, Takeshi Jinguji, who had played a full 33 minutes, was in a very good mental state. Although his jersey was soaked with sweat, his movements were still agile, and he did not look like a player who had played a full 33 minutes.
In the Hainan half, Jinguji Budou was holding the ball and wandering around the three-point line, observing Hainan's defense and looking for a gap.
It has to be said that as the game progressed to this point, the Hainan players maintained their movements quite well. Mori Shigehiro and Takasago Kazuma in the interior did not spare their energy at this moment, and competed with Sakuragi Hanamichi and Nango Koichiro for advantageous positions in the interior.
Muto Masaru on the outside was full of energy and stuck to Miyagi Ryouta very closely. After Miyagi passed the ball, he had to work hard to catch it again.
Although Kazuo Kamiya's pursuit and defense speed is not as fast as Rukawa's, the two of them can always maintain a distance of about two body lengths between them. If Rukawa gets the ball, Kazuo Kamiya can make up for it in the first time.
However, it can be seen that Ichiro Kamiso has consumed a lot of physical energy and has tried his best to keep up with Rukawa's movements. If Jinguji Budo passes the ball to Rukawa for a single play at this time, with Rukawa's strength, he will definitely be able to break through Ichiro Kamiso's defense and score easily.
It's just... .
"What's wrong?"
"Jinguji Budo, your movements... are slowing down!"
Outside the three-point line, Maki Shinichi spread his arms and stared at the basketball in Jinguji Budo's hand without blinking. There were faint bloodshot around the hole. The white jersey was tightly attached to Maki Shinichi's body. As he spoke, Maki Shinichi's face was full of fatigue.
Defending Jinguji Martial Arts is not a task that ordinary people can undertake.
Even he, Maki Shinichi, felt physically and mentally exhausted at this moment.
However, Maki Shinichi's fighting spirit was still strong. Even though he was broken through countless times by Jinguji Budou, even though he had to watch Jinguji Budou score goal after goal over his head, Maki Shinichi still did not give up the fight for victory.
The score difference was reduced from 12 points to 8 points. Didn't Hainan's efforts and Maki Shinichi's efforts pay off? !
"Amu, you must be very tired. I am giving you time to rest. If you fall down, this game will be meaningless."
"I'm just... having a blast!"
The attack time passed slowly, and Jinguji Budo was not in a hurry. He stood there with his back to the enemy and said to Maki Shinichi.
"tired?!"
"How is that possible?!"
"I'm also... having a blast!"
Maki Shinichi raised his head slightly and looked at Jinguji Takeshi with burning eyes. And at the moment when his gaze shifted, Jinguji Takeshi misstepped his steps, dribbled the ball in mid-air, and pretended to break through to the right side.
The sudden change in rhythm of Jinguji Takeshi's rhythm immediately alerted Maki Shinichi, who quickly blocked his left side to prevent Takeshi from advancing. However, at the moment his position changed, Jinguji Takeshi, who was dribbling in midair, changed the landing point of the basketball, changed direction in front of his body, and took a step past Maki Shinichi.
"Damn it! This guy is still so fast even after playing for such a long time!"
The figure of Jinguji Takeshi quickly flashed past the eyes of Maki Shinichi, and Maki Shinichi also reacted quickly, turned around and chased him. Maki Shinichi was a beat slower and only lagged behind Jinguji Takeshi by one body length.
"Good defense!"
"Amu!"
Wudao noticed the pursuit of Maki Shinichi and sighed sincerely. In that situation, he was able to react and turn around to chase him without being outnumbered by him. There are really not many high school students who can do such a thing.
But... that's all!
As Jinguji Takeshi broke into the three-point line, Mori Shigehiro in the interior quickly moved up to prepare for defense, but before he came up, Jinguji Takeshi suddenly took the ball, shot the arrow directly on horseback, and threw the ball out at the moment of pause in the air.
“Swish!”
Without any surprise, the basketball flew directly over Mori Shigehiro's head and fell into the net.
“ohhhhhh!
!”
"Another goal! Jinguji Budo scored again!"
"Shobei! Shobei! Shobei!"
As the basketball went into the net, shocking cheers instantly erupted from the stands, and the terrifying sound waves surged into the stadium.
Jinguji Budo was already accustomed to such scenes. Listening to the sea of cheers from the audience, he remained calm.
"Amu, I admire your fighting spirit."
"But I won't give you the victory!"
The difference between the two teams returned to double digits, 10 points.
Upon hearing this, Maki Shinichi ignored Jinguji Budo, turned his head to look at the scoreboard, and clenched his fists.
"Phew... this is really messed up!"
"He actually let him score a goal like that. Hainan can't stop Jinguji Budo at all!"
In a corner of the stands, a young man wearing a black coat, a black hat and sunglasses pulled down the bridge of his nose slightly, looking at Jinguji Budo on the court, and couldn't help but sigh.
Zebei Rongzhi was dressed like a detective, and when he praised, he did not forget to lower his voice.
"Isn't this to be expected?"
"What surprised me was not Jinguji Budo's amazing performance, but I admired Hainan High School more."
"They were able to play like this against Xiangbei High School. If it weren't for Xiangbei, this Hainan would probably have the strength to be one of the top four in the country."
Next to Sawakita Eiji, Kawata Masashi folded his hands and said as he looked at Shinichi Maki who was organizing the attack on the field.
Unlike Sawakita Eiji, Kawata Masashi simply wore a hat to complete his "disguise". Next to Kawata Masashi, Fukatsu Kazunari and Domoto Goro sat in order.
The national qualifiers in Akita Prefecture have already ended. Unlike the two super powers and many strong teams in Kanagawa Prefecture, there is only one king in Akita Prefecture, and that is Sanno Industrial.
After the Akita preliminaries ended, Goro Domoto brought a few trusted generals to Kanagawa to watch the Kanagawa Prefecture competition.
After all, Kanagawa has last year's national champion, Ryonan High School, and the strong enemy that once dragged Ryonan into the quagmire, Shohoku High School.
Today's match also made everyone in Sanwang feel that the trip was worthwhile. Even if they didn't watch the match between Xiangbei and Ryonan, they still gained a lot. Domoto Goro knew that when Xiangbei and Ryonan officially confronted each other, he would get more information.
"Yes, what Kawada said is correct. This Hainan is indeed a very strong team."
"It's just that Hainan was born in the wrong city. This year, they may not be able to overcome the two high mountains of Xiangbei and Ryonan."
"Zebei, we've been watching the game for so long, the strength of Jinguji Budo should have been shown a lot."
"Do you think you can beat Xiangbei if we meet him?!"
While Domoto Goro was speaking, the court had already been alternating between offense and defense. In this round, Hainan's shot was inaccurate, but Mori Shigehiro grabbed the rebound and took down Nango Koichiro under the basket, narrowing the score difference to single digits again.
Hearing this, Zebei Rongzhi's gaze fell on Jinguji Budou who was catching the ball near the center line. After pondering for a few seconds, he nodded solemnly, and then shook his head.
"What do you mean?! You're nodding and shaking your head. What's wrong with you?!"
Seeing Zebei Rongji's pretending to be deep, Kawata Masashi was so angry that he hugged Zebei's neck and tucked Zebei's head under his armpits.
"ah!
”
"What are you doing?!"
"I was just going to answer!"
Sawakita Eiji tried hard to pry Kawata's hands free, but he couldn't.
At this moment, a loud noise was heard in the stadium. The next second, the surrounding audiences suddenly burst into warm cheers, causing Zebei and Kawata, who were playing, to look towards the stadium at the same time.
The two of them didn't see what happened. They only saw that in the court, Takeshi Jinguji grabbed the basket with one arm, and on the floor in front of him, Hainan's power forward Kazuma Takasago fell to the ground, looking up at Takeshi Jinguji.
While Zebei Rongzhi and Kawata Masashi were playing, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who felt that he had no sense of participation in the offense, thought of a way to show himself. Instead of standing in the paint and wrestling with Kazuma Takasago, he quickly moved up to set a pick-and-roll for Jinguji Takeshi when Takeshi approached the three-point line with the ball.
Sakuragi's pick-and-roll was beyond Maki Shinichi's expectations. He just wanted to chase Wudao, but was blocked by Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Taking advantage of Sakuragi's pick-and-roll, Jinguji Budou cut into the paint and completely ignored Kazuma Takasago who was preparing to provide backup defense, and directly completed a dunk.
Although Jinguji Budou was "floating" most of the time in the second half, in fact, Jinguji Budou's physique is much stronger than traditional inside players like Kazuma Takasago, and his athletic talent is more than one level higher than Takasago. Dunking over Takasago is not a small matter for Budou, but it is just a medium matter.
Jinguji Budo's block dealt a heavy blow to Hainan's momentum.
The first effort is the best, the second is the most exhausting, the third is the most declining.
Up to now in the game, the score difference is still in double digits, and the Hainan team's counterattack momentum is no longer as strong as before.
As the game progressed, Kamiso Ichiro, who had consumed a huge amount of physical energy, began to see a significant drop in his hit rate under the death entanglement of Rukawa Kaede. Faced with this situation, Maki Shinichi had to concentrate more ball rights in the hands of Muto Masaru and Mori Shigehiro.
However, although Muto Masaru is Hainan's starting player, in this situation, the young man could not withstand the tremendous pressure and his performance on the offensive end was far below standard.
In other words, Mori Shigehiro was as stable as ever. This first-year young man devoted himself to the game, and this guy didn't seem to care about the score. He was just simply enjoying the feeling of looking down on his opponent after a dunk.
After every dunk, when Mori Shigehiro saw the unwillingness and indignation on Nango Koichiro's face, he felt a sense of relief.
He plays basketball not just for winning, but more for the pursuit of this feeling of comfort.
Hainan's condition began to decline, but looking at Shohoku High School, the ball possession black hole Jinguji Budo not only did not show any fatigue, but became more and more energetic.
His attacks became more and more fierce. In the past, he had to fake and change his rhythm to get past Maki Shinichi. He would not attack until he had distanced himself from Maki Shinichi and was sure that Maki Shinichi could not catch up. But now, he would often attack hastily before completely getting rid of Maki Shinichi.
The extremely bad shooting choices did not reduce Jinguji Budo's hit rate. On the contrary, it increased, and the true hit rate reached a terrifying 73%.
He single-handedly took on all the offensive tasks for Xiangbei High School.
One gains while the other loses.
As the game progressed, the score gap between Xiangbei and Hainan began to grow, and the game gradually lost its suspense.
In the stands, after witnessing the terrifying attack power of Jinguji Budo, Zekita Rongzhi fell completely silent for a moment. He breathed carefully and watched Jinguji Budo's performance on the field carefully.
When Xiangbei opened up the gap to 21 points, Zebei Rongzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head:
"I can't defend him... I'm afraid that no one in the whole country can defend him."
"but... .."
"I think my attack power won't be inferior to his!"
Several clips of Jinguji Budo's attack flashed through Zebei Rongji's mind, and then he nodded again.
The footwork and body movements displayed by Jinguji Budo in this game were very sharp, his shooting accuracy was terrifying, and his dunks were also very powerful.
However, he felt that he could replicate all the skills that Jinguji Budo had mastered, which was why he dared to say this.
“Really…”
"That's good!"
Goro Domoto nodded slightly, and as he spoke, the game on the court had already come to an end.
Xiangbei High School finally won the game with a huge advantage of 98:74. Jinguji Budo scored 53 points, surpassing everyone.
Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede both had outstanding performances. At the same time, the terrifying figure of Mori Shigehiro was also deeply engraved in Nango Koichiro's heart.
Amid the cheers of the Xiangbei players, the Hainan players quietly left the field.
Having lost to Ryonan High School and Shohoku High School successively, Hainan's journey to the county tournament has come to an end. Their subsequent match against Shoyo will be just a practice match at best.
Kanagawa Prefecture's spot in the national competition can be said to have been secured.
However, the following high school match between Shohoku High School and Ryonan still became the focus of everyone's attention.
Whether it is the old emperor who will defend his throne or the new emperor who will ascend the throne has become something that everyone is curious and eager to know.
