Takeshi Jinguji jumped to avoid double-teaming and then stood on one leg, directly adding three points to the scoreboard for Shohoku High School.
There was silence in the stands at this time, and the substitute players of Sanno Industrial on the sidelines all opened their mouths wide, looking stunned.
No one expected that Jinguji Budo could score so easily even when being double-teamed by two defensive players. And once he scored, it was a three-pointer.
Moreover, the posture of Takeshi Jinguji when shooting gave people the feeling that he was not standing firmly, but even with this posture, he still sent the ball steadily into the basket. His terrifying offensive ability once again refreshed the audience's perception of Takeshi Jinguji.
The ace of Xiangbei High School, his personal strength far exceeds everyone's imagination!
Sakuragi Hanamichi, who ran to the mid-range to catch the ball, was also stunned at Jinguji Budou. He had been practicing shooting for a while, and during this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi had been practicing pull-up jump shots.
He knew too well the difficulty of Jinguji Budou's shot. It was precisely because Sakuragi Hanamichi knew the technical difficulty of Jinguji Budou's attack that he was so surprised.
I thought that Jinguji Budokai would be restrained by Sanno Industries, but I didn't expect... ..
"Awesome... Awesome!" Sakuragi Hanamichi couldn't help but murmur.
He thought that his strength was getting closer and closer to Jinguji Budo, but it was not until today that Sakuragi realized that he still had a long way to go to reach Jinguji Budo.
"Hey, Sakuragi."
"Don't be in a daze, catch up, and start defending."
Wudao noticed Sakuragi Hanamichi's gaze towards him, turned around, waved at Sakuragi Hanamichi, and said with a smile.
"Ah? Oh... Oh!" Sakuragi came to his senses and responded subconsciously, then hurriedly followed Jinguji Budou's footsteps and returned to the field to defend.
Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was speaking so arrogantly just now, suddenly became much more low-key.
Having seen the vastness of the world, Sakuragi's complacency has dissipated a lot.
After a long time, the players of Sanno Industrial finally got rid of their shock. Kazunari Fukatsu received the serve from his teammate in the backcourt, with a cold face, and moved forward with the ball.
"Even two people's defense couldn't stop Jinguji Budou. Is this guy really a high school student?!"
"Damn it, from now on, we must seize every opportunity to attack."
"If our attack efficiency cannot keep up with Jinguji Martial Arts, we will be defeated immediately!"
The pressure on Kazunari Fukatsu was extremely great at this time. The difference between the two teams had reached 11 points, and there were only about six minutes left in the game.
Although the 11-point difference is not an insurmountable gap, it depends on who is playing against it. Facing the Xiangbei High School led by Jinguji Budou, it is not an easy task to close the gap.
If Jinguji Budou's scoring efficiency had not decreased and Shohoku had concentrated the ball in Jinguji Budou's hands, these 11 points would have become a natural barrier that would have blocked Sanno Industrial's path to the national competition.
"Inside, you must focus on inside offense. If you are not open, try to reduce outside shots."
Kazunari Fukatsu thought to himself that after quickly dribbling the ball and approaching the top of the arc, he changed directions in advance and then quickly accelerated to break through. His change of direction caused Miyagi Ryouta's position to deviate slightly.
Therefore, at the moment when Kazunari Fukatsu broke through with the ball, Miyagi Ryouta had already fallen behind by half a body length. It was this half body length that made Miyagi Ryouta lose the possibility of chasing Fukatsu.
When Fukatsu Kazunari broke through, he simply leaned his body against the pursuing Miyagi Ryouta, causing Miyagi to lose speed and be completely left behind by Fukatsu.
Kazunari Fukatsu broke into the inside and quickly passed the ball and made a layup. Hanamichi Sakuragi in the inside hurried forward to defend, staring at the basketball with his eyes, and jumped up.
In mid-air, Kazunari Fukatsu's shooting route was completely blocked by Hanamichi Sakuragi. Fukatsu bent down slightly, received the ball, and then sent it behind Sakuragi's waist, intending to pass it to Masashi Kawata behind Sakuragi.
However, at this moment, Sakuragi Hanamichi in mid-air suddenly blocked the basketball quickly and steadily.
Kazunari Fukatsu's passing intention was actually seen through by Hanamichi Sakuragi, who intercepted the ball.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"I have already seen through your plan!"
After landing, Sakuragi Hanamichi laughed loudly, rushed directly towards the basketball, jumped, caught the ball in his arms, and fell to the ground at the same time.
"Sakuragi!" Before Fukatsu could react, he heard the shout of Jinguji Takeshi from behind him. Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at Jinguji Takeshi who started running towards the front court, grabbed the ball with one hand and threw it directly to the front court.
"Return to defense!"
"Get back on defense!"
"Stop him, stop Jinguji Budo!"
Shohoku's fast break made the Sanno players off the court instantly nervous. The difference between the two teams was already 11 points. If Shohoku High School was allowed to launch a defensive counterattack, the difference would probably reach 13.4 points.
There wasn't much time left, and the hope of making up for such a huge score difference was too slim.
We must defend this ball!
"Hold on! Don't let him score!"
Goro Domoto also stood on the sidelines at this time, shouting loudly towards the field.
Meanwhile, on the court, Wu Dao's fast break had actually stopped.
There was no way, because Sakuragi Hanamichi was lying down, the angle of the pass was very low, and the power was not very strong, and the speed of the ball was not fast.
Such a low pass was too uncomfortable for Jinguji Takeshi's height. And Sanno Industrial's reaction was also very fast. When Takeshi slowed down to get the ball, Zebei and Matsumoto Minoru had already crossed the center line and returned to the court smoothly. In the front court of Xiangbei, there was only Takeshi.
When Budou crossed the center line, Sawakita Eiji and Matsumoto Minoru surrounded him. It seemed that they had no intention of letting Jinguji Budou get close to the three-point line.
The players of Sanno Industrial were already concerned about Jinguji Takeshi's shooting ability, and when Takeshi had the ball, these people quickly became nervous.
One on two in the frontcourt, the rest of the players from Shohoku and Sanno Industrial were still running.
"Matsumoto, don't rush in blindly, this guy is very fast."
"Just stay steady and don't let him get close to the three-point line."
"Wait for teammates to return to defense!"
Sawakita Eiji, who was guarding the Jinguji martial arts school together with Matsumoto Minoru, reminded him in a low voice.
Matsumoto Minoru had never faced off against Jinguji Budou before, and Zebei was afraid that he would be too impatient and be found vulnerable by Jinguji Budou.
"Very calm..."
Jinguji Budo turned his head slightly and saw Katsumi Ichiro quickly crossing the center line and running towards the left corner. He glanced at Katsumi Ichiro and chuckled. At the same time, he grabbed the ball with his right hand and lifted it up violently, apparently intending to pass the ball.
"!
! " Zebei Rongzhi was on the passing route between Takeshi and Katsume Ichiro. Seeing Jinguji Takeshi's move, he subconsciously raised his center of gravity and raised his hands to block Jinguji Takeshi's pass.
However, Jinguji Takeshi suddenly pushed the ball back to the ground the next second. At the same time, Jinguji Takeshi lowered his body, picked up the rebounding basketball with his left hand, and broke through the center of Zebei Rongji and Matsumoto Minoru.
"But are two people enough?!"
Wu Dao murmured softly, his body hit the shoulders of Zebei Rongzhi and Matsumoto Minoru at the same time, and he forced his way through their defense and rushed directly into the inside.
The linesman had a whistle in his mouth, but it didn't even sound.
There is nothing wrong with Jinguji Budo's breakthrough moves, and this level of physical confrontation is also reasonable!
“Breakthrough!”
"The defense of two people was penetrated."
"The fake message reached Zebei, and a flaw appeared."
In the stands, everyone in Ryonan gasped when they saw this. Shigong Tianye looked at Jinguji Budou who rushed into the inside, and his eyes shrank slightly. Jinguji Budou's dribbling rhythm and the ability to switch between movement and stillness were something he didn't have.
Although Jinguji Budou did not pass the ball to his teammates, his teammates' running positions also became his weapon!
Takeshi Jinguji rushed into the inside as if he was in an empty space. Behind him, although Sendo Eiji and Matsumoto Minoru were only half a body length behind him, everyone knew that these two people could not stop Takeshi Jinguji from scoring.
Sure enough, Jinguji Budo Kazuki, who had entered the basket, jumped up, turned 360 degrees in the air, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand. His posture was smooth and chic, and this difficult dunk made people feel as easy as eating and drinking water.
The camera lens was focused on Jinguji Budo, and the camera flashes of the reporters on the sidelines kept flashing and the shutters in their hands never stopped.
Amid the cheers of the audience, Jinguji Takeshi did not make any exaggerated celebrations, nor did he speak arrogantly to the Sanno players. He just ran back to defend with a calm expression.
However, it was Jinguji Budo's relaxed attitude that made the members of Sanno Industrial Team feel under great pressure.
At all... he didn't take Sanno Industries seriously.
This is the feeling that Jinguji Budo gave to the Sanno team members. In the eyes of the other team, they, Sanno... are just Sanno.
“Ohhh!
!”
"Jinguji-senpai!
!”
"Shobei! Shobei! Shobei!"
In the Shohoku rest area and the stadium stands, both Shohoku's substitutes and the spectators on the field were cheering for Shohoku and Jinguji Budo at this moment.
There seemed to be no supporters of Sanno Industrial in this venue. The thunderous cheers were all for Shohoku.
Under such terrifying pressure, Sanno Industries' attack was unusually steady... or rather, not only was it steady, but Sanno's attack began to show signs of shrinking.
The basketball was passed several times from the outside, and all the players were afraid to hold the ball for too long, and passed it as soon as it touched the ball.
After several passes, Kazunari Fukatsu sent the ball into the inside and gave it to Mikio Kawata. However, the huge pressure caused Mikio Kawata's movements to become deformed.
Although his turnaround layup was still completed smoothly, the power of the shot was less and the basketball bounced out of the basket.
The rebound was caught by Koichirō Nango.
After grabbing the rebound, Nango Koichiro threw the ball to Jinguji Budou without any hesitation. Jinguji Budou still dribbled the ball and made a fast break alone!
Sanno Industrial's defense returned very quickly, and Kazunari Fukatsu caught up with Jinguji Takeshi, rushing towards Takeshi from behind and trying to steal the ball from behind.
However, Jinguji Budou, who was dribbling the ball forward, seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. He made a sudden back dribble while moving and easily avoided Fukatsu's steal.
At the same time, Zebei and Matsumoto Minoru also followed from both sides, and ran in front of Wudao at the moment when Wudao slowed down.
With one big dribble, Takeshi Jinguji instantly arrived in front of the defense line of Matsumoto and Zebei. He paused, stopped abruptly, and dribbled the ball between his legs twice in a row to adjust his rhythm. Suddenly, Takeshi Jinguji changed his rhythm and accelerated towards the defense line of Matsumoto on the right.
"Bang!" With a burst of the ball, Wudao's breakthrough aroused the vigilance of Shenjin and Zebei, who accelerated to block it.
But in the next second, Jinguji Budou made another sudden stop and dribbled the ball back between his legs. It seemed that he did not choose to force a breakthrough because Fukatsu and Zebei's defense was good.
However, with just one dribble, Jinguji Budo quickly blew the ball with his left hand, changed direction, and accelerated towards Zebei Rongzhi. At this time, Zebei and Matsumoto had also adjusted their postures from the pursuit just now, and when Budo accelerated, they accelerated to catch up.
But when the two of them moved, Jinguji Budou made another sudden stop, pulled the ball back in front of him with his left hand, and dribbled on the spot with his right hand to adjust the rhythm.
"Good defense! Zebei, Matsumoto!"
"That's it, don't let him pass!"
Takeshi Jinguji stopped his two consecutive breakthroughs, which made the Sanno players on the sidelines extremely excited. They seemed to see hope of stopping Takeshi Jinguji.
However, as soon as the shouts fell, Jinguji Budo threw the ball with his right hand, lowered his body again, and quickly broke through to the right. Just as Fukatsu and Zebei were adjusting their positions, Jinguji suddenly changed direction and rushed directly to his left.
In the blink of an eye, he passed the defense of Sawakita Eiji and Matsumoto Minoru and rushed towards the inside.
At this moment, Masashi Kawata had just returned to the inside. When he saw Takeshi Jinguji rushing towards him, he immediately raised his arms high, trying to stop Takeshi Jinguji.
Wudao had already seen Masashi Kawata in position, but his speed did not slow down. After passing the ball, he still took big strides towards the basket. His body inevitably hit Masashi Kawata's chest. The terrifying force actually pushed Kawata back a step.
Then Jinguji Budou jumped up, grabbed the ball with one hand, and gently pushed it towards the top of the basket, sending the ball directly into the net.
Defensive counterattack three in a row.
Jinguji Budo's score pushed the audience's enthusiasm to a climax.
Jinguji Budou, who scored the goal, glanced at Kawata Masashi who was knocked away by him, and said softly:
"This is the end of your participation in the national competition at Sanwang Industries."
"It's not shameful to lose to us, Xiangbei."
"The team that defeated you... is the national champion - Xiangbei High School!"
Just as Wudao was speaking, a sharp whistle sounded from the referee's seat on the sidelines. Wudao turned his head and happened to see Sannoh's coach Domoto standing beside the referee's seat, looking at him with a serious face.
Yaoyao smiled at Goro Domoto, then Wudao turned around and walked off the field with the Xiangbei players.
Sanno Industries requested a suspension.
"Pause... Will it work?!" Jinguji Takeshi, who returned to the rest area, turned his head to look at the rest area opposite, and said to himself with a smile.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .
