With the tacit cooperation between Jinguji Takeshi and Mitsui Hisashi, Takeishi Junior High School scored the first goal after the opening. The wonderful cooperation between the two also made the audience cheer a little less for the Tokyo University Affiliated First Junior High School.
No one expected that the No. 1 Middle School affiliated to the University of International Business and Economics, which won the jump ball, would be the first to lose points.
At the side of the court, the coach of the First Middle School affiliated to the University of Tokyo silently watched Jinguji Takeshi and Mitsui Shou return to the court, narrowing his eyes slightly. Then he picked up the previously collected information from the small table beside him and began to read it.
"Jinguji Budo, his height and arm span are quite outstanding among his peers. Judging from his performance just now, his athletic ability is also quite good."
"Takeishi Middle School had a practice match with our local Akizuki Middle School before, and it was that kid who blocked Akizuki's first-year ace."
"As for Mitsui Shou... Is his attacking power stronger than Akizuki's Sendoh?"
"From the cooperation just now, the two have good tacit understanding and basketball IQ. If they really fight, they might cause us some trouble."
"Such possibilities must be nipped in the bud."
The coach of Dongda Affiliated No. 1 Middle School had obviously done a lot of preparation before the game, and he had also collected quite a lot of information about Takeishi Middle School. Although he had never seen Takeishi Middle School play in person, he knew exactly who Takeishi Middle School needed to pay attention to.
Thinking of this, the coach stood up from his seat and shouted to Shinomiya Tano who was preparing to serve from the baseline in the middle of the court:
"field!"
His call attracted the attention of Shimono Shimono. When Shimono Shimono turned his head to look at the coach, the coach pointed at Wudao's back, then clenched his fist with one hand and made an inexplicable gesture.
"Are we going to start this early? Wouldn't it be bad if we lose the fun of the game too early?" Shigong Tianye thought to himself after receiving a hint from his coach. He then withdrew his thoughts and waited for his teammates to come forward to receive the ball before sending the ball out from the baseline.
The player who received the ball from Shigong Tianye quickly passed it back to Shigong Tianye, and then ran quickly towards the front court. Shigong Tianye, who received the basketball, quickened his pace and quickly passed the half court with the basketball. After entering the front court, Shigong Tianye suddenly reduced his advancement speed, began to slow down his pace, and slowly approached the three-point line.
The person responsible for defending Shinomiya Tano is Takeshi. In Takeishi Junior High School, there are three people with similar height to Shinomiya Tano, the third-year center Masao Fujii, the second-year power forward Oishi Chiba, and the first-year Takeshi Jinguji.
The first two players were mainly responsible for guarding the inside, while the outside defense was usually assigned to Wu Dao. The players of Takeishi Junior High School had already developed a good understanding of each other on the defensive end, and when they encountered a tall player like Shigong Tianye who held the ball, the defense task would usually be assigned to Wu Dao.
The three-pointer made by Shinomiya Tano before more or less exposed his offensive flaws. Jinguji Budou felt that the opponent's three-point shooting ability was average, so until Shinomiya Tano approached the three-point line with the ball, Budou still remained calm and looked like he was going to shoot instead of attacking.
That defensive posture clearly showed that he looked down on Shigong Tano.
"This guy really let me shoot the three-pointer..."
"Are you so relieved?"
Shigong Tianye slightly leaned sideways to protect the ball and came to Wudao. He slightly lowered his head to look at Wudao who was leaning forward and guarding, and felt offended again... .
But he is not the kind of person who gets carried away easily. Although Wudao looks like "you can shoot three-pointers as you like", Shinomiya Tianye will not be stupid enough to continue attacking with three-pointers.
We clearly have a huge advantage, so why should we use our weaknesses to attack
"Pull away!"
With the ball in his right hand, Shinomiya Tano slowly walked to the 45° angle of the three-point line, waved his left hand towards his teammates, and shouted loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the players of the No. 1 Affiliated Middle School of the University of International Business and Economics on the court quickly took action. Four people, including the center in the inside, all the players of the No. 1 Affiliated Middle School of the University of International Business and Economics actually walked towards the other side where Shinomiya Tano was.
As the players from the First Middle School affiliated to the University of Tokyo moved, the entire area on the Shinomiya field side became empty.
However, there was no major change in the defensive position of Takeishi Junior High School, and Mitsui Hisashi and others did not foolishly use man-to-man marking to find the players they needed to defend.
The opponent clearly wants to play one-on-one, so at this time, of course you need to stand in position and prepare for backup defense or double-team!
Without Anzai Zhengyi's reminder, Mitsui Shou quietly walked to the diagonal back of Wudao, faintly stuck in the blind spot of Shigong Tianye. The other members of Wushi's team also focused their attention on Shigong Tianye and were on guard.
"Pull out the singles match? Are you so confident in your ability?"
"I've played so many junior high school games, but this is the first time I've seen such an offensive tactic."
"Even when Sendoh was playing solo, there were still teammates standing in a convenient position to receive the ball and provide Sendoh with a passing position."
"By pulling away so blatantly, aren't you cutting off your own passing route?"
While Shinomiya Tano was speaking, Jinguji Budo quickly turned his head to look at the positions of the other members of the Tokyo University Affiliated First Middle School, and silently memorized their locations in his mind.
At the same time, his expression became serious, and he focused on the basketball IQ of Shigong Tianye. Wudao had made up his mind to stop the opponent's shot. The opponent was just a junior high school student. Did he really think he was Kobe
"Iku!!"
Before starting, Sigong Tianye did not forget to remind Wudao. A light shout came from the opponent's mouth, and at the same time, Sigong Tianye quickly broke through to Wudao's left side with the ball. Sigong Tianye did not make any disruptive movements, but directly started with a stride, and then his body was directly attached to Wudao's body.
“Bang!!”
"snort!"
Shigong Tianye's intention to break through was not concealed at all, and Wudao immediately moved to the left to try to block Shigong Tianye's breakthrough. However, when the opponent's body leaned against his chest, Wudao couldn't help but groan, and the energy he had raised was suddenly released.
The whole person was knocked back a step by Shigong Tianye and completely gave up his way.
“easy!”
Shinomiya Tano had a smile on his face and said something lightly. After passing through the martial arts hall, he no longer tried to break through. He just took the ball and jumped to shoot.
It was a very smooth stop-and-jump shot with perfect control of rhythm. Under the gaze of everyone, the basketball fell steadily into the basket.
As the basketball went into the net, there was an explosion of cheers from the audience.
Shinomiya Tianye did not respond to the audience's enthusiasm. He turned his head and looked at Jinguji Budo and said:
"Hey, I don't feel any defensive pressure!"
"You can't please me like this!"
After saying that, Shigong Tianye ran towards his own half of the court, leaving Wudao with his back.
"This animal is a real beast!"
Wu Dao curled his lips, rubbed his chest, cursed inwardly, and then a smile appeared on his face. He felt that something was missing in the previous games, and now Wu Dao knew that what was missing was trash talk!
