After the offense and defense switched, the ball came to Takeishi Junior High School.
Mitsui Shou, who was playing street basketball near the baseline, was advancing towards the frontcourt with the ball. His advancement speed was not fast. He adjusted his rhythm while carrying the ball.
Mitsui looked at the scoreboard at 6:4. Although it was only a few minutes into the game, Takeishi Middle School was still in the lead. But Mitsui knew that at this point in time, a two-point advantage was not an advantage at all.
Moreover, on the court, Mitsui Shou could clearly feel that several teammates except Wudao were nervous to varying degrees. Mitsui Shou knew that it was because of the impact of Shigong Tianye's goal just now. Going past two people and scoring against the defense was quite a blow to morale.
"Use this goal to rally the team's morale!"
Mitsui thought secretly in his heart and quickly brought the ball to the front court.
The person defending Mitsui Hisashi was No. 10 from the First Affiliated High School of the University of Tokyo, a young man with a crew cut. He was previously defending Budou, but Shinomiya Tano wanted to defend Budou, so he sent him to defend Mitsui Hisashi.
The young man is only about 175cm tall, which is a clear disadvantage against martial arts. However, against Mitsui Hisashi, his height not only does not become a disadvantage, but instead gives him a slight advantage.
However, when it comes to basketball, strength is not determined solely by height.
Mitsui, who was dribbling the ball into the frontcourt, deliberately widened the distance between himself and Shinomiya Tano. Wudao was also very smart. He moved silently towards the baseline, pulling Shinomiya Tano's defense, sinking to the baseline, and then stopped moving. He had no intention of helping Mitsui at all.
Mitsui Shou, who was dribbling the ball, waited until Budo pulled the defensive force and quickly started a breakthrough.
Although Todai First High School, like Takeishi, is a team that has entered the national competition, this does not mean that all of their players are top-notch players. Facing the team's ace like Mitsui Hisashi, No. 10 of Todai First High School instantly became a "road" without traffic lights.
If Mitsui Shou thought about it, he could get through it easily.
Mitsui Shou, who was outside the three-point line, lowered his body, and successfully led his opponent out of position with a simple change of direction. He then moved unimpeded to the mid-range, attracting the inside defense, and passed the ball directly into the inside. Fujii Masao in the inside received the ball and turned around and shot the ball off the backboard without thinking, easily scoring the ball.
The score between the two teams became 8:4, and the gap was once again widened to four points.
After being easily defeated by Takeishi Junior High School by two points, Shinomiya Tano, who was defending Jinguji Budo at the bottom, frowned slightly, glanced at the number 10 with sharp eyes, and then silently walked to the baseline to receive the ball.
The offense and defense changed again, and the ball came into the hands of Dongda Affiliated No. 1 Middle School. In other words, the ball came into the hands of Shigong Tianye.
I don't know if it's because of his outstanding personal ability, or because Budo's defense is too bad for Shigong Tianye. Shigong Tianye, who was holding the ball, had no intention of passing the ball. After entering the front court, he directly let his teammates pull away.
It's still one-on-one, still an individual singles match.
However, this time, Mitsui Hisashi did not come to help Wudao defend, but went into the inside, patted Fujii Masao, and signaled him to go to the mid-range position to guard against the opponent's breakthrough and help defend.
Although Fujii Masao didn't understand what Mitsui Shou meant, he still followed Mitsui Shou's advice and came to the middle distance position, standing not far behind Wudao.
However, Shimono seemed to have not noticed the defensive changes of Takeishi Junior High School at all. He still slowly came to Wudao's front. When he was about to get close to Wudao, he suddenly changed the rhythm of dribbling.
When Wudao saw the change in the opponent's dribbling rhythm, he immediately realized that the opponent was about to start attacking. He quickly stepped forward, came in front of Shigong Tianye, and raised his hands flat.
At the same time, Shigong Tianye also started quickly, and his body simply leaned on Wudao's chest, and then he lowered his body and quickly broke through.
However, this time, Shimono's breakthrough speed was not as fast as before. He felt that the impact when his body hit Jinguji Takeshi's body was different from the previous one. This time, Jinguji Takeshi did not use all his strength in defense!
After completing the breakthrough, Sigong Tianye deliberately slowed down his pace. At the same time, he silently observed the position of Wudao behind him, leaving himself room to react.
Sure enough, Jinguji Budou did not lose his position at all this time. After Shigong Tianye broke through, he quickly turned around and stuck to Shigong Tianye, waiting for an opportunity to steal and block the ball. Moreover, Budou's route was to drive Shigong Tianye towards Fujii Masao's defense area.
Noticing this, Shinomiya Tano smiled slightly, suddenly stopped walking, and then changed direction, as if taking a walk, and walked towards the three-point line with the ball when he was about to face Fujii Masao.
That’s right, Shimono Yamaguchi actually retreated with the ball at this time.
Jinguji Budo was also stunned when he saw this, thinking that the opponent had noticed his intention and deliberately gave up this attack. He also slowed down his pace and chased after Shigong Tianye towards the outside line.
However, just when Wudao was about to approach Shigong Tanno, Shigong Tanno who was dribbling outside suddenly exploded the ball, then quickly changed the rhythm, lowered his body, turned around quickly and passed Wudao in one step, rushing directly to the inside.
"!!!!" Jinguji Takeshi had just relaxed a little, and the opponent seized the opportunity to break through. By the time Takeshi accelerated to defend, Shinomiya Tano had already made a mid-range shot.
Feeling no defensive pressure, Shimoya Tano easily scored the ball and then silently ran towards his own half.
"I was careless. I didn't expect to meet someone like this in the junior high school competition."
Wu Dao murmured, wiped the fine sweat from his chin with his hand, and ran directly to the front court. Jinguji Wu Dao did not care about the success of this goal. Shigong Tianye's successful attack would only make Wu Dao's next defense more cautious.
In the next few minutes, Takeishi Junior High School and Todai First Junior High School showed the audience two completely different offensive methods.
On the Takeishi Junior High School side, the driving force is Mitsui Hisashi and Jinguji Takeshi. If Shinomiya Tano defends one of them, the attack will be initiated by the other one.
Mitsui and Takeshi are both players with shooting ability and broad vision. Their personal abilities are far superior to other players of the University of Tokyo Affiliated First Middle School. As long as they are not under the defense of Shigong Tianye, they can use breakthroughs and shooting to drive other teammates and launch a comprehensive attack. What is displayed is the team basketball with Jinguji Takeshi and Mitsui as the core.
As for the No. 1 Middle School affiliated to Dongda University, it is a one-man team, a heroic basketball team.
All the offense was handled by Shigong Tianye alone, and the biggest role of his teammates was to help grab rebounds under the basket. However, Shigong Tianye's shooting accuracy was also very high, and his main way of scoring was to get to the basket, so his teammates who grabbed rebounds almost became decorations.
Relying on the terrifying personal ability of Shimono, Takeishi Junior High School and Tokyo University Affiliated First Junior High School were evenly matched for a while.
The score between the two teams changed from 8:6 at the beginning to 27:24.
Among so many rounds of competition, the round in which Jinguji Budo's defense was the best only forced Shinomiya Tano to make a strong shot. It was still far from restricting the opponent.
The coaches of both teams seemed a little surprised by the stalemate.
The coach of the First Affiliated Middle School of the University of Tokyo did not expect that Takeishi had not been defeated under the terrifying attack of Shinomiya Tano, but was able to stand his ground and even had a small advantage.
Takeishi's coach Anzai Zhengyi was surprised that the opponent could fight Takeishi with only one person. The opponent's performance exceeded the expectations of both coaches.
However, the two coaches had a good understanding of each other and neither used a timeout to break the current stalemate.
...
"I can't stop it! Why can't I stop it?!"
On the court, Takeshi Jinguji bent his waist, opened his arms, and stared at the young man in front of him. There were even a few bloodshot eyes. After countless failures, Takeshi's attention was not as highly focused as at the beginning, and all kinds of thoughts unconsciously arose in his mind.
The terrifying strength of Shinomiya Tano was so overwhelming that Wu Dao couldn't breathe. In such a situation, he, who was usually calm and composed, became like an ordinary junior high school student, and his faith was slightly shaken.
He had been away from the court for too long, and the time he had been back was too short. In addition, the smooth progress after the time travel made Wudao feel complacent. Suddenly facing such a strong enemy, Wudao began to feel uncomfortable.
After a series of setbacks, even someone like Wu Dao began to doubt himself.
