Given the current situation facing Shohoku High School, the best way Budou can think of is to replace Miyagi Ryouta with Mitsui Hisashi or Katsume Ichiro.
In terms of ball control ability, although Mitsui Hisashi and Katsumi are a little bit behind Miyagi Ryouta, their dribbling skills are actually enough for the current Shohoku High School.
After all, Ryonan's current defense is mainly based on retreating to its own half, and the defensive pressure is actually not strong.
What's more important is that both Mitsui and Ichiro Katsumi have a brilliant three-point shot, and their height is far beyond that of Kenji Fujima. Ichiro Katsumi is 185cm tall, and Mitsui, who is now in his third year, has reached Fujima, who is less than 191cm tall. The advantage is actually quite obvious.
However, Coach Anzai had no intention of making substitutions. It was obvious that Coach Anzai intended to use this situation to hone Miyagi. He probably felt that Miyagi's potential had not been fully tapped, and wanted to use this high pressure to help Miyagi break through.
Since Coach Anxi had no plans to make substitutions, Wu Dao put aside his unnecessary thoughts.
After all, he was just a player, and all he had to do was play his game well on the court. As for personnel arrangements, with Coach Anxi's experience, it shouldn't be his turn to intervene.
Between offense and defense, the ball once again returned to Xiangbei High School.
Takeshi Jinguji, Rukawa Kaede and others entered the frontcourt early, waiting for Miyagi Ryouta to bring the ball into the frontcourt.
It was obvious that Takenori Akagi's foot injury had not healed yet, but Wudao had no intention of taking special care of Akagi, and his pace did not slow down, but instead increased a lot.
And this pace of advancement is just right for Rukawa Kaede, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Miyagi Ryouta.
Rukawa Kaede and Jinguji Budou were positioned at the corners outside the three-point line on both sides of the court, and Sakuragi Hanamichi sank to the mid-range position at the baseline without saying a word. While Miyagi was holding the ball and approaching the three-point line, Akagi Takenori had just crossed the free throw line and tried to squeeze into the inside, but his action was noticed by Yuzumi, who pressed against Akagi's chest and prepared for defense.
Seeing that there was no chance, Akagi chose to stand at the edge of the paint area at the baseline and wait for the opportunity to arise.
In the previous round of attack, Jinguji Takeshi passed the ball to Sakuragi Hanamichi, which made Akagi realize that he was also very likely to receive a pass from Takeshi on the offensive end, so while getting into position, he also paid close attention to the situation on the outside field.
Soon, the basketball passed from Miyagi Ryouta's hands to Jinguji Takeshi's hands. Jinguji Takeshi, who received the ball sideways, quickly turned around and turned his back to Shinomiya Tano. He held the ball with both hands to protect his chest. While he tilted his head to look at Shinomiya Tano with his peripheral vision, he leaned his back slightly backward to feel where Shinomiya Tano was.
Post-up posture outside the three-point line.
Seeing this scene, Shinomiya Tano decisively lowered his waist, placed his left hand directly on Jinguji Takeshi's lower back, and retreated half a meter, guarding against Jinguji Takeshi's breakthrough.
As for three-point shooting
In this position, with his back to the basket, how is it possible to shoot a three-pointer
However, just as this thought flashed through his mind, an absurd idea suddenly flashed through Shigong Tianye's mind.
The next second, Jinguji Budou, who was standing with his back to the basket, suddenly turned around and shot directly without any pause or hesitation, as if he had repeated this shot countless times.
Shinomiya Tano, who was calmly preparing to deal with Jinguji's martial arts breakthrough, was also stunned at this moment. He turned around in disbelief and happened to find that the basketball passed over the heads of Yuzumi, Hanagata and others under the basket, hit the side of the board, and bounced back into the basket, causing ripples on the net.
“ohhhh!
!”
"What is that? You shot a ball like that? And it went in?"
"What a messed up timing! What's up with that Jinguji Budo?!"
Takeshi Jinguji's turn-around jump shot shocked a lot of people. No one expected Takeshi Jinguji to attack in this way.
The ball was just brought into the front court by Miyagi, and Xiangbei High School still had 22 seconds left to attack. In this situation, Xiangbei could have organized well and quietly waited for the opponent to show a flaw, but what no one expected was that Jinguji Budo actually chose to fade away and pull up with so much time left to attack.
With this kind of "random shot", if there was a new coach, Jinguji Budou would have been relegated to the bench long ago. This kind of "reckless" shooting is incompatible with the basketball in the minds of people of this era.
"Hey! It's in again."
“Sure enough, it feels really good!”
Jinguji Budo clenched his right fist in front of his chest, a bright smile appeared on his face, and then he turned around to defend.
Seeing this, Shimonoseki heaved a sigh of relief, followed Wudao's footsteps, and ran quickly towards the front.
Others might be surprised at Jinguji Budou's strange shooting choices, but for Shinomiya Tano, it was nothing strange. After all, it was not the first time he had been Jinguji Budou's opponent, and he already knew the opponent's style.
And unlike others, no matter where Jinguji Budou scores a goal, there won't be too many surprises.
At most, you just need to reflect a little after the opponent scores a goal, and try not to make the same mistake the next time you defend.
The ball was in the hands of Ryonan High School. Looking at Kenji Fujima approaching with the ball, Wudao couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, and his attention was distracted a little.
Fujima, who was holding the ball and approaching the top of the arc, stopped and looked at Shinomiya Tano. The latter immediately understood, dodged and ran towards Fujima quickly.
Then, a broad figure instantly covered Miyagi Ryouta. At the same time, Fujima Kenji also quickly dropped the ball and rushed forward.
"Miyagi! Get around the pick and roll!"
Seeing this, Wu Dao couldn't help but shout out a reminder that facing Ryonan's offensive, they absolutely could not switch defense.
Otherwise, the fertile fields of Miyagi would face the fields of Shinomiya directly, which would be no different from delivering vegetables.
As he spoke, Wudao stopped suddenly, trying to stop Fujima and slow down the opponent's breakthrough speed, giving Miyagi Ryouta time to catch up.
But at the moment when the martial arts paused, Fujima Kenji jumped and passed the basketball directly behind his back.
“Bang!”
The basketball actually passed directly over Miyagi Ryouta's head and was caught by Shinomiya Tano.
"snort!"
As soon as he got the basketball, Shinomiya Tano didn't even make a fake move, and rushed forward with the ball. Miyagi Ryouta wanted to reach out to block him, but his chest was hit directly by Shinomiya Tano's side.
It was just a collision with a very small contact surface, but Miyagi Ryouta felt as if he was hit by a hundred-ton hammer. A huge force was transmitted to his chest, and the whole person flew out.
Shinomiya Tano, who had knocked Miyagi over, had already gathered the ball. Two steps later, he shot the ball out of his hand with a horse-riding arrow.
“Beep!
”
The moment the basketball went into the net, the referee blew his whistle. Under the gaze of everyone from Xiangbei, the referee pointed at Miyagi Ryouta and made a ruling:
"Red 7, blocking foul!"
"The goal is valid! One more penalty!"
The referee's decision made Miyagi Ryouta freeze there. Upon hearing this, Shinomiya Tano looked back at Miyagi Ryouta and an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.
"Don't be so surprised. It's only natural that you were called for a blocking foul for that kind of defensive action!"
There is a huge difference in height between Miyagi Ryouta and Shinomiya Tano. In the eyes of the referee, when he reached out to grab the ball, it was actually aimed at Shinomiya Tano's lower back. He was knocked away by Shinomiya Tano simply because the gap in strength between Miyagi Ryouta and the opponent was too great.
Judging from the action alone, Shimono's breakthrough was very clean and there was no possibility of constituting a foul.
2+1.
Shinomiya Tano was sent to the free throw line by Miyagi Ryouta.
When the opponent was shooting free throws, Miyagi Ryouta clenched his fists, stood outside the three-point line, staring at Shinomiya Tano's back, burning with anger.
“Swish!”
At the free throw line, Shinomiya Tano simply dribbled the ball twice and made some adjustments. After turning his head to look at Miyagi Ryouta outside the three-point line, he turned back to look at the basket, threw the ball casually, and scored the ball steadily.
Shinomiya Tano's series of actions and expressions made the already furious Miyagi even angrier.
“That... bastard!
!”
After the free throw, the Ryonan players began to return to defense. Miyagi Ryouta clenched his fists, cursed under his breath, and fire could be seen in his eyes.
“Bang!”
At this moment, Miyagi felt his shoulders sink. He turned his head and saw Jinguji Budo standing beside him with one hand on his shoulder.
"Miyagi, you are very angry now, right?!"
"I feel like... Ryonan High School underestimated you and used you as a breakthrough point, and Shinomiya Tano mocked you and didn't take you seriously."
"Let me think about it... This is really infuriating!"
"It is really uncomfortable for a player to be underestimated on the field."
"But, Miyagi, look over there."
As Wu Dao spoke, he pointed his hand towards the field.
At this time, the Xiangbei substitutes on the sidelines were looking at the Xiangbei players on the field with worry. Ayako was shouting at the top of her lungs, but Miyagi, who was full of anger at the moment, could not hear her!
Nanxiang and Qingtian, the first-year students with bad tempers, also looked indignant and cursed under their breath, as if they were complaining about the referee's decision.
Coach Anxi sat calmly in the rest area, but his eyes were fixed on Miyagi on the field. It was unknown what he was thinking.
"A lot of people are waiting for you, Miyagi."
"Whether it's Xiandao or Shigong Tianye, it's normal that you can't stop him."
"I'm not looking down on you. I'm just stating a cruel fact."
"But aren't there some things that only you can do?"
"Remember quickly, what did you practice before the game? Was it one-on-one defense? I think... No!"
"No one expects you to defend alone, but you have something that others can look forward to, don't you?"
At this time, Takenori Akagi was already standing at the baseline. Seeing that Takenori and Miyagi were talking, he did not pass the ball immediately. After saying this, Takenori turned around and waved at Akagi. Seeing this, Akagi gave the ball to Takenori Jinguji.
Jinguji Takeshi, who got the ball, did not say anything else to Miyagi, but quickly dribbled the ball across the center line.
Shortly after Wudao arrived at the frontcourt, Miyagi Ryouta quickly passed Wudao and entered the frontcourt.
At this time, there was no longer any confusion in Miyagi's eyes, and the anger in his heart turned into motivation to move forward.
After entering the frontcourt, Miyagi kept cutting into the inside without stopping at the top of the arc, and went straight through.
Shinomiya Tano slightly turned his head to look at Miyagi who was leaving, but did not pay any attention to him. He went straight to Jinguji Takeshi and blocked him 2 meters outside the three-point line, not wanting Jinguji Takeshi to get close to the three-point line.
"Did you say anything to him?"
"He looks so energetic. If he collapses, he might never recover."
"To be honest, I don't quite understand why you, Xiangbei, are so obsessed with a point guard who is not even 170cm tall?"
"Obviously, you have better choices!"
As Shigong Tianye spoke, he glanced sideways at the audience.
He was referring to Mitsui Hisashi, and Budo knew that clearly.
"In previous competitions of that level, his ability was enough."
"But facing us, Ryonan, players of this level are far from enough."
"You obviously don't have any talent, so why do you still make these useless efforts? Isn't this pathetic?"
Shigong Tianye didn't know what Xiangbei High School was planning. His only wish was to have a strong enemy to fight him. The existence of Miyagi Ryouta lowered the level of Xiangbei High School, which made Shigong Tianye feel uncomfortable.
Although Ryonan still attacked the weak points, he personally did not like this way of winning. It made him feel like he was bullying the weak.
Moreover, Shimoya Nono himself is extremely talented. Although Coach Tanoka does not discriminate against players without talent, he will have a clear preference for talented players during the coaching process.
The most direct difference is the difference between facing Sendoh and facing Fukuda. When Sendoh made some mistakes during practice, Coach Tanaoka would correct him but his tone was not too harsh. But for Fukuda, it was very different.
Of course, Coach Tanaoka also gave necessary encouragement, but there was a gap in attitude.
Shinomiya Tano has been playing basketball since he was a child. Along the way, he has seen too many untalented players fail on this road. Seeing Miyagi Ryouta's struggle, Shinomiya Tano could not hide his pity in his eyes.
"Pitiful?!"
"Isn't it passionate that a person without any talent can fight against a powerful enemy through his own efforts?"
"Hey, are you a devil? Seeing Miyagi trying so hard, you actually feel pity for him?"
Wudou was confused when he heard what Shigong Tianye said.
His growth path was different from that of Shinomiya Tano. The latter was a child of destiny and had been praised since childhood. However, Jinguji Budo was different. His talent really began to explode in high school.
Moreover, the things that Miyagi Ryouta experienced, Budo had also experienced before.
Martial arts can understand the feeling of powerlessness when facing talented players.
But obviously, Shinomiya Tianye couldn't understand.
Wudao didn't waste any more words. After a fake dribble, he directly dropped the ball and rushed forward. While luring the opponent to chase him, Wudao changed direction in front of his body, changed direction, and continued to rush forward. At the same time, Wudao also approached the three-point line.
As Shinomiya Tano came up to defend, Takeshi suddenly caught a glimpse of Miyagi Ryouta who had slipped to the mid-range at the baseline, where no one was defending him. At this moment, Fujima Kenji actually left Miyagi alone and quickly double-teamed Takeshi.
"It's vacant!"
Wu Dao murmured softly, and quickly turned around with the ball, but the basketball flew out of his hands and passed towards Gong Cheng.
The moment the basketball was shot, a cold light flashed in Shinomiya Tano's eyes. He turned around and rushed towards Miyagi Ryouta. He anticipated Jinguji Budou's pass.
"Empty seat?!"
"Why didn't I see it!"
Miyagi Ryouta received the ball in an open position, looked up at the basket, raised his hand and threw the ball. However, just as the basketball was about to reach its highest point, a blue figure suddenly flew out from the side, grabbed the basketball hard with a slap, and actually took the ball directly from the air.
