Ryonan High School's Shinomiya Tano and Shohoku High School's Jinguji Budou showed their terrifying offensive abilities. The goals scored by both teams were warmly cheered by the audience in the stands.
It was just one round of offense and defense, but the audience could also see the level of Jinguji Takeshi and Shinomiya Tano. These two were much better than the aces of other teams.
"Jinguji Budo's hit rate is still the same as always!"
"Tian Ye, next time on defense, do we need to double-team first?"
After the attack by Xiangbei ended, Ryonan had the ball. Sendoh Akira caught up with Shinomiya Tano who was running towards the frontcourt and asked.
In order to prepare for today's game, Ryonan High School actually did a lot of pre-match preparations. Coach Tiangang's on-the-spot command ability may not be the best in the country, but as long as he is given some preparation time, he can study the opponent thoroughly.
Whether it is the opponent's playing style or the style of the ace players, Coach Tanaoka can even predict the possible lineup changes of the opponent.
Coach Takeo has been studying the Shohoku High School team for a long time.
For today's game, Coach Tanaoka had already prepared several defensive formations, whose main purpose was to limit the performance of Jinguji Budo.
The game between Ryonan and Shohoku High School has just begun, and Ryonan did not show their trump cards at the beginning. However, at this time, Sendoh saw that Jinguji Takeshi seemed to be in a pretty good touch today, and thought of using double-teaming to put some pressure on Jinguji Takeshi.
"Let's play a few more balls and see."
"There's still plenty of time. Let me feel his current fighting power first."
"I want to see if I can defend him by myself."
As Shinomiya Tano said this, he quickly ran towards the frontcourt. In the blink of an eye, he quickly entered the Shohoku half. After Fujima Kenji quickly dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, he saw Shinomiya Tano standing outside the three-point line, with his back to the basket, raising his right hand towards him, signaling him to pass the ball.
Seeing this scene, Kenji Fujima gave up his idea of a solo attack and immediately passed the ball.
Originally, Fujima wanted to try another shot, but was stopped by two freshmen from Xiangbei. With Fujima's pride, he was definitely not convinced. However, since Shinomiya Tano wanted the ball, Fujima would not insist on his own style of play.
He knew very well that the existence of Shigong Tianye was crucial to Ryonan High School's current heights, and compared to his own offense with the ball, Shigong Tianye's offense might be more stable.
Even so, the opponent that Shinomiya Tano faced was Jinguji Budo from Shohoku High School.
"Snap!" After receiving the basketball, Sigong Tianye did not face the basket immediately. Instead, he dropped the ball on the spot, sat down directly on his buttocks, and started a back-to-the-basket singles game from the position outside the three-point line.
"Bang!" Shimono's back rested on Jinguji Takeshi's chest. The huge force forced Takeshi to tilt his upper body and try to rely on his own weight to prevent Shimono from further invading the three-point line.
However, the power gap between the two was still quite large. Jinguji Budo, with the help of his own weight, was unable to stop the opponent's invasion and took a step back.
"Snap!" Another ball fell, Shimoya continued to post up, and after two consecutive post-ups, he successfully entered the three-point line.
In this day and age, there is no such thing as a 5-second rule with your back to the basket.
Seeing that Jinguji Budo still maintained a good defensive posture after two back-to-backs, Shigong Tianye smiled slightly, but did not change his posture and continued to drop the ball to him. He seemed to be planning to use his strength to force the ball into the inside.
Facing Shinomiya Tano's back-to-the-basket, Wudao had no good way to deal with it, and his opponent was not the kind of clumsy and brainless back-to-the-basket type. As soon as Wudao showed some intention to defend from the front, Shinomiya Tano was often able to detect it at the first time, quickly holding the ball and switching to a back-to-the-basket, protecting the basketball while also allowing himself to turn around and jump shot at any time.
After several consecutive back hits, Shinomiya Tianye used his violent strength to push Wudao's defense line to the middle distance.
And at this moment, Mitsui Hisashi, who was originally defending Sendoh, finally stopped standing there and hurriedly ran towards Jinguji Takeshi and Shinomiya Tano, trying to get around and steal the ball from Shinomiya Tano.
However, his movements were noticed by Shigong Tianye. When Mitsui Shou left Sendoh, Shigong Tianye's smile became brighter and he murmured:
"This blatant double-team, do you think I'm a fool..."
"The run defense was quite aggressive."
Shimono Shimotsuna didn't even stick to the ball, he just hit the ground and passed it out. In his mind, there was no such concept as "a one-on-one goal would be his victory".
In Shimoya's opinion, his strong strength attracted double-teaming, so even if his teammates scored, the credit would still be his!
On the contrary, if Sendo fails to score in the open position, the blame will be on Sendo.
The basketball hit the floor directly at Mitsui's feet and bounced back into the hands of Sendoh Akira who was behind Mitsui.
After getting the basketball, Sendo took a direct jump shot without any hesitation.
"Swish!" With the sound of the basketball entering the net, the total score on the scoreboard of Ryonan High School reached 4 points.
"Good post, Tian Ye!"
After Sendoh scored the goal, he high-fived Shinomiya Tano to celebrate, and Shinomiya Tano also smiled at Mitsui Hisashi, without saying anything more, and started to return to defense.
"Xiao San, I'm sorry." Wudao looked at the Ryonan people leaving, turned around and said sorry to Mitsui Shou, then quickly ran towards the front court.
To be honest, facing Shinomiya Tano's simple and rough fighting style, Jinguji Budo really doesn't have any better solution.
Do you think anyone in the league can do anything to Barkley? Barkley still has to rely on the rules to restrict him, but in today's high school basketball, there is no such thing as a post-up violation for more than 5 seconds.
When facing the back-to-the-basket attack by Shimoya Tano, the best way is actually to double-team him.
But don't be fooled by the fact that Shimoya is tall and strong. He has a broad vision and delicate skills. If he rashly double-teams the opponent, he will give Ryonan an open space.
Moreover, none of Ryonan's outside players are easy to deal with. If Shohoku dares to leave the opponent open, Ryonan's Sendoh or Fujima will dare to score.
Unless Jinguji Budo himself can deal with Shinomiya Tano's back-to-the-basket attack, otherwise, Ryonan's offensive system can be called invincible!
Unless, many of Ryonan's outside players have poor shooting and fail to score in open positions.
Missing open shots is a very common occurrence in high school basketball games. Players are affected by factors such as nervousness and physical exhaustion, which often result in players not having the same shooting percentage as in normal training.
But this situation also applies to ordinary players.
Kenji Fujima and Sendoh are not high school players in the ordinary sense.
Letting these two guys shoot is not much different from giving away points.
During the transition between offense and defense, Xiangbei High School's Rukawa Kaede had already quickly entered the frontcourt with the ball. This time, Wudao did not rush to ask Rukawa Kaede for the ball, and when he landed, he did not land at the corner of the three-point line, which was his best position, as usual.
Instead, he tried to bypass Shimono's defense and cut into the inside.
Seeing Jinguji Budo start to cut without the ball, Rukawa also realized that the opponent did not want to hold the ball and play one-on-one. Rukawa, who originally maintained a high center and intended to pass the ball, immediately changed his rhythm and dropped his center of gravity while dribbling, actually preparing to break through.
Just when Rukawa changed the rhythm of his dribbling, Jinguji Budo, who cut into the inside, just touched the floor and ran directly to the outside.
Just like Hanagata's pick-and-roll before, Jinguji Budou also landed behind Fujima and actually set a pick-and-roll for Rukawa.
Seeing this scene, Rukawa opened his eyes slightly, a divine light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly dropped the ball and accelerated to break through. And the direction he broke through was exactly the direction where Jinguji Budo was doing the pick-and-roll.
"The target of Jinguji Budou is... Fujima!"
Shigong Tianye was still following behind Jinguji Budao leisurely, and didn't care about Jinguji Budao's movements. But when Jinguji Budao made a pick-and-roll for Rukawa Kaede, Shigong Tianye immediately realized Jinguji Budao's sinister intentions!
This guy actually wanted to use the pick-and-roll to create an opportunity for himself to play one-on-one!
Before Shimoya could think about it, Rukawa Kaede broke through and quickly rushed in front of him, trying to get past his defense.
Facing the breakthrough of the freshman from Xiangbei, Shigong Tianye could only quickly catch up and loudly reminded Fujima: "Switch defense!"
Shimono's lateral movement speed was extremely terrifying, and a big hand directly blocked Rukawa's vision.
The moment Shinomiya Tano came up to defend, Rukawa even felt his breathing stagnate. The terrifying feeling of oppression from the opponent made him stop involuntarily, and then he quickly turned around and passed the ball to Jinguji Budou in a high position.
Shinomiya Tano had anticipated this and quickly stepped forward to block the attack, but he had to guard against both Rukawa's breakthrough and his passing. Even for Shinomiya Tano, it was impossible for him to take care of everything. He failed to intercept the ball and could only watch the basketball fall into Jinguji Budou's hands.
“That’s a good spread!”
Wu Dao caught the ball with both hands, praised with a smile, dribbled once, took a step back and stood directly outside the three-point line, then shot the ball out with a flick of his hand.
“Swish!”
With a crisp sound of the net, the basketball went into the net.
Takeshi Jinguji, a sophomore in high school, is over two meters tall and has terrifying jumping ability. After Ryonan switched defense, Kenji Fujima, who was defending him, was less than 180cm tall, which was a difference of more than 20 centimeters between him and him.
At the same time, Fujima's jumping ability was far inferior to Jinguji Budou's. Fujima watched Jinguji Budou catch the basketball, and he also knew clearly that Jinguji Budou was going to jump shot after stepping back.
But he could barely keep up with Takeshi's pace. Even if he jumped with all his strength, he could only touch Takeshi Jinguji's arms. There was no way he could threaten Takeshi Jinguji's shot.
For martial arts, this height difference is like an open shot, as easy as eating and drinking.
The mismatched singles attack that Miyagi Ryouta hates the most is now used by Budo on Fujima Kenji.
As the basketball went into the net, Xiangbei High School's score reached 5 points, completing the reversal.
After scoring the goal, Takeshi Jinguji clenched his right fist, high-fived his teammates who came over, then took a deep look at Kenji Fujima in front of him and turned around to defend.
On the sidelines of the court, on the substitute side of Shohoku, Miyagi Ryouta watched the scene on the court, a bitter smile appeared on his face, he looked at Fujima and shook his head.
The higher the level of the opponent and the higher the level of the game, the more Miyagi Ryouta can realize how fatal his shortcomings are to the team.
The team's aces who are of similar physique to Takeshi Jinguji couldn't defend against Takeshi Jinguji's goals, so someone with Fujima's height is even less likely to do the same.
While Miyagi Ryouta was paying attention to Fujima at this time, most people on the sidelines were paying attention to Jinguji Budou.
The fans who had been watching Jinguji Budou play in the stands were stunned when they saw Jinguji Budou running without the ball and going for pick-and-roll.
In their impression, when Jinguji Budou wanted to attack, he always received the ball outside the three-point line and attacked the opponent's defense head-on.
But in today's match, Jinguji Budo's fighting style changed significantly.
Becoming....some teams have risen up?!
In this stadium at this moment, perhaps only Coach Smith knows that the Jinguji Budo who is now active on the court is the real him!
Jinguji Budo has never been a lone wolf ace who only knows how to play with the ball.
But most of the time, Jinguji Budo will choose the simpler approach.
Facing Ryonan, Jinguji Budo is indeed serious!
"Start cutting to the basket and setting screens for your teammates?"
"Use the pick-and-roll to create an opportunity for mismatched singles... Huh."
"Routine, Xiangbei, do you think I haven't thought of this?!"
Coach Tian Gang crossed his arms and sneered twice, not feeling surprised at all. At this moment, everything that happened on the court was still under his control!
There's no rush to change the formation now, let's wait and see... what other tricks Xiangbei has!
Between offense and defense, the Ryonan players protected the ball and quickly entered the Xiangbei half. After entering the front court, Shigong Tianye would occasionally glance at Rukawa Kaede who was defending Fujima, and his eyes showed some interest.
He turned around, glanced at Jinguji Budou in front of him, and suddenly said: "Budou, I suddenly have some interest in the first-year student on your team."
"That boy seems to be trained as the trump card by your Xiangbei team, right?"
"Is it really okay to be a point guard like this?"
"If you don't fight against the strong, you won't become stronger, right?"
As he spoke, Shinomiya Tano's figure immediately ran towards Fujima's direction.
After a hand-to-hand pass, Fujima passed the ball to Shinomiya Tano and immediately stopped Jinguji Budou's pursuit. Shinomiya Tano, who got the basketball, did not stop for a moment and rushed directly towards Rukawa Kaede's defense line.
The falling ball accelerates the breakthrough, simple and direct.
In Rukawa Kaede's opinion, Shinomiya Tano's breakthrough really has no technical content at all.
But when the body of Shinomiya Tano who was breaking through touched Rukawa Kaede, Rukawa Kaede realized that some fancy techniques were completely useless against someone like Shinomiya Tano!
"Bang!" After breaking through Rukawa's defense, Shinomiya Tanaka rushed into the basket and jumped up directly. In front of him, Sakuragi Hanamichi also jumped up to try to block him, but when Sakuragi's body hit Shinomiya Tanaka in mid-air, his body still fell backwards uncontrollably.
Strength... no match at all!
Shimono grabbed the ball with one hand, and after a confrontation with Sakuragi in the air, he casually put the ball into the basket.
The way he made it seem like nothing was too much, made Sakuragi Dokuko shrink.
"This is... the level of layup I want to achieve!"
