A dark cloud suddenly appeared on the horizon, and a strong wind blew, and the dark cloud on the horizon approached. In the blink of an eye, thunder roared, and the originally clear sky suddenly became overcast. As the dark clouds accumulated in the sky, the thunder began to become more frequent, and warm rain fell from the sky, cooling down the hot summer.
Rain can cool down the earth, but it can't cool down the enthusiasm of the audience in the stadium. The people watching the game didn't notice the sudden change in the weather outside. At this time, everyone's attention was focused on Shigong Tianye who was dribbling the ball on the court.
Sigong Tianye received the serve from his teammate, and then slowly advanced to the front court with the ball. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Sigong Tianye's condition at this time was very different from before. Before this moment, Sigong Tianye's footsteps were brisk with the ball, and there was a faint smile on his face, and he looked relaxed.
But at this moment, there was no smile on Shinomiya Tano's face, and every step he took on the floor seemed heavy.
As Shimonoya approached with the ball, Jinguji Budo suddenly felt an indescribable pressure suddenly descending upon him.
“What a strong momentum!”
"This guy has to be serious!"
Jinguji Budo bent his knees slightly and immediately caught up when Shinomiya Tano just approached the three-point line.
This time, without any instructions from Shigong Tianye, the other players of Dongda Affiliated No. 1 Middle School gathered on the other side of the court tacitly, completely vacating the inside and mid-range space, giving Shigong Tianye enough room to display his skills.
Mitsui Hisaya, who noticed this, also secretly became alert and moved slightly closer to Wudao and Shinomiya Tano, ready to provide reinforcements at any time.
All the members of Takeishi Junior High School could feel the aura emanating from Shinomiya Tano at this moment, and everyone became more vigilant.
“Snap! Snap!”
The gym suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of the basketball hitting the floor echoing. After Shigong Tianye came to the front court with the ball, he did not change the rhythm and center of gravity of dribbling. He just stood there and slowly approached Wudao, seemingly without any defense.
Wudao stood in front of Shinomiya Tano, and seeing that the opponent's dribbling center of gravity was so high and there was no ball protection movement, he couldn't help but want to steal the ball.
Although Wu Dao knew that this was most likely a trap set by the opponent, if he did not try when faced with the opportunity, he would most likely miss the chance completely.
Thinking of this, Jinguji Budo paid attention to Shigong Tianye's feet while extending his right hand to shoot the basketball. However, just as Jinguji Budo made a move, Shigong Tianye's dribbling rhythm suddenly changed.
Sigong Tianye, who had a high center of gravity, suddenly lowered his center of gravity, and with his right hand holding the ball, he pulled the basketball behind him, and with a beautiful back dribble, he easily avoided Wudao's outstretched right hand.
At the same time, Shimonoya's body suddenly leaned against Wudao's, his right hand instantly turned into a ball-protecting hand, pressing against Wudao's waist, he lowered his body, and holding the ball in his left hand, he quickly broke through to Wudao's left side.
Shimono Shimada has outstanding explosive power, and he is tall and has a long stride. With just one step, he instantly passed Wu Dao's defense and rushed towards the inside.
Mitsui Hisashi, who was behind Wudao, also reacted quickly. When Shinomiya Tanano started to break through, he directly blocked the path in front of Shinomiya Tanano.
Facing Mitsui's backup defense, Shigong Tianye continued to charge forward without any intention of dodging or shooting in advance. Mitsui was also very smart. When a big guy like Shigong Tianye rushed over, Mitsui did not even think about stealing or blocking with his body.
He thought of the fake fall in Wu Dao just now, and immediately a plan came to his mind.
Sure enough, Shinomiya Tano, who rushed into the inside, did not take Mitsui Shou seriously at all, and came in front of Mitsui Shou in the blink of an eye.
A huge black shadow suddenly appeared in front of Mitsui Shou. Although Mitsui Shou did not feel any pressure on his body, he still leaned back exaggeratedly and wanted to fall to the ground. However, just as he made this move, Shigong Tianye in front of him suddenly turned beautifully with the ball and completely defeated Mitsui Shou.
Then he broke into the inside.
"Don't even think about it!" When Fujii Masao, who was guarding the inside, saw Shinomiya Tano rushing towards him, he shouted and went to meet him. However, Shinomiya Tano continued to charge towards Fujii Masao. When he was about four meters away from the basket, he directly passed the ball and jumped into the air after two steps.
In the air, Shigong Tianye stretched out his posture, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and glided towards the basket, as if he was going to dunk. However, just as Shigong Tianye was about to get close to the basket, his body collided with Fujii Masao who also jumped up to intercept, and his momentum was immediately stopped.
Although Fujii Masao saw the right moment and jumped up to intercept, his jumping ability was far inferior to that of Shinomiya Tano, and because he jumped vertically, his arms could only reach Shinomiya Tano's elbows.
However, due to lack of momentum, Shimonoseki, who was originally preparing for a slam dunk, quickly changed his original ball-grabbing posture to a ball-holding posture. When he approached the basket, he lightly lifted his palm and put the basketball into the basket.
The basketball didn't even touch the edge of the basket, and was directly put into the basket by Shinomiya Tano. As the basketball entered the net, the audience that had been silent for a long time suddenly burst into amazing cheers.
“ohhhhh!!!!”
"Field! Field!"
It only took Shinomiya Tano a few seconds to dribble past two people and score the ball against the center's defense to complete this series of actions.
Until Shinomiya Noda scored a goal, Mitsui Hisashi was still standing stiffly in a posture of leaning back but not falling. His trick became a little embarrassing and ridiculous because of Shinomiya Noda's sharp turn.
After scoring the goal, Shimoya didn't look at anyone or talk to anyone. After landing, he jogged back to his own half of the field amid the cheers of the audience. Now, he seemed to have been completely immersed in the game, and his concentration was much higher than before.
"That guy jumps so high!"
"With my jumping ability, I can't stop him after he gets into the paint."
Masao Fujii silently looked at Shinomiya Tano's back, thinking secretly in his heart.
He knew his own strengths and weaknesses very well. Facing an enemy like Sigong Tianye, he was like a fish on the board. In the small territory of the interior, facing Sigong Tianye's offensive, he had no way to deal with it unless he committed a foul.
Jinguji Takeshi and Mitsui Hisashi also looked at Shinomiya Tano's leaving back, silent and speechless, both of them felt that the situation was tricky.
The feeling of facing off directly against Shinomiya Tano was more real. The power, speed, jumping burst, and ball ability displayed by the opponent were all top-notch. Wudao, who was at an absolute disadvantage in strength, couldn't figure out how to limit the opponent in a one-on-one matchup.
Facing Shinomiya Tano and facing Sendoh are two completely different experiences. Sendoh's power burst is not as terrifying as Shinomiya Tano. With rich experience, Wudao can restrict the opponent.
But the same approach didn’t work for Sigong Tianye. The hardware was so bad that no matter how good the software was, it wouldn’t help.
“There’s absolutely no way a straight-up defense can stop him.”
"This guy's first move has an absolute advantage due to his strength and explosive power. Even if we know where he is going to break through, we can't stop him."
"My speed and jumping ability are pretty good. If I let him go inside and chase him without losing my position, I might be able to stop him."
"Only if we stop him can we, Wu Shi, win!"
Jinguji Budo thought silently and trotted towards the front.
"That guy is much taller than me. I don't think that Wudao kid can stop him. If I want to win, I have to gain an advantage on the offensive end!"
"As long as I score more points than him, we Wu Shi will never lose!"
Mitsui Hisashi looked at Shinomiya Tano's receding back, thinking in his mind, while going to the backcourt to receive the serve.
Jinguji Budo and Mitsui Shou both felt the strength of Shinomiya Tano, but they had completely different ideas about how to win. One focused on defense, and the other focused on offense.
The only thing in common is that both of them firmly believe that the final victory will be in the hands of Takeishi Junior High School!
