Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Experience at Xiangbei

Chapter 62: Turning point!

Views:

Takeshi Jinguji broke through Shinomiya Tano's defense and went into the inside to score successfully. The players of Tokyo University Affiliated First Middle School on the court now focused their eyes on Takeshi Jinguji, and everyone's face was filled with surprise.

Even the coach of the No. 1 Middle School affiliated to the University of International Business and Economics off the court had a look of astonishment on his face, his mouth slightly open, full of surprise.

"Since the county tournament, only Qiu Yue's first-year student has managed to score a few goals despite Tian Ye's defense."

"I didn't expect that this team in Kanagawa would have such a player."

"Do we need to call a timeout?"

The coach of the First Middle School affiliated to the University of Tokyo crossed his arms in front of his chest, thought for a while, and then his expression relaxed. He looked at Jinguji Budo who was returning to the field, narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought to himself:

"But it's just one ball, so it can't be ruled out as a coincidence."

“If you have the ability to consistently score over the top of the field, you’ll be a threat.”

"The pause is precious, just take a look."

The coach of the First Middle School affiliated to the University of Tokyo made up his mind and followed Jinguji Budo's figure with his eyes, not daring to relax for a moment. He could feel that the variable of this game was most likely this child.

In the rest area on the other side of the court, Anzai Zhengyi saw Wu Dao successfully break through and score, and he couldn't help but feel happy. With his vision, he could certainly see how strong Shigong Tianye was. Being able to break through such a person and successfully score was enough to show Wu Dao's excellence.

Although it was just one goal, which didn't mean much, Anxi Zhengyi didn't think so. He knew clearly that Jinguji Budou's dribbling and his offensive ability were very poor more than a month ago. But now he can score points over that person, which is enough to show Budou's progress during this period.

"Fortunately, I didn't foolishly let Wudao play inside."

"I made the right choice to develop martial arts' outside attack methods!"

"Todai First High School is a one-man team. As long as Wudao and Mitsui can maintain their form, we will definitely win this game!"

Anzai Zhengyi couldn't help but feel fortunate that the team's second scoring point had been developed quite well and could already be used in major competitions. The existence of martial arts would be one of the important keys for their Takeishi Middle School to win.

On the court, Shinomiya Tano received a serve from his teammate in the backcourt, quickly crossed the half court with the ball, then slowed down his pace and slowly approached Wudao.

There was no more confusion on Jinguji Budo's face, and there was even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, looking confident that he was enjoying the game.

Sigong Tianye rarely encountered such a demeanor. In previous games, the players who played against him often looked dejected and gave up the game after playing for less than ten minutes.

After playing so many games, Qiuyue's pot-cut hair was only able to put up a little resistance in the top four of the county competition. But the man in front of him had a much better mentality than the pot-cut hair at that time.

"From the look of you, you seem to be full of confidence in yourself."

"Is it the goal just now that made you have inappropriate delusions?"

"Although I really hope that my opponent is not that kind of loser, I also don't want to see your confident expression like this. It will make me feel that I am not strong enough."

Shigong Tianye straightened his back and was not in a hurry to attack. He dribbled the ball and said, "30 seconds of attack time is plenty for him. There is no need to rush."

"If you don't even have confidence, how can you win the game?"

"I admit that I can't defend you at all now, but so what? It's still Takeishi Junior High School that will win the game, and you can't change anything."

"And I won't always be unable to defend against you. The next time you see me, I will be able to block your attack!"

Jinguji Budou has abandoned his former pride and the inexplicable sense of superiority that he should not have. Now, he is just a junior high school player. This world is big, there must be people who are weaker than him, and there must be people who are stronger than him.

He is just a junior high school student now. It is normal for him to win and lose.

All he needs to do is to adjust his mindset, face all kinds of enemies, train with all his strength, and play every game well.

Tong Kong shrank slightly when he heard Sigong Tianye's words. He could sense that the other party's mentality had changed a lot. The impatience he had when defending before was completely gone. He could feel that the aura of the person in front of him had changed dramatically.

"What's your name?" Shigong Tianye showed some interest and asked.

"Budo." Jinguji Budo replied indifferently, his attention always on Shinomiya Tano's feet, and his peripheral vision was always on the basketball.

"Martial arts, huh? I will destroy you with all my strength!"

Shimono Shimono grinned, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and the rhythm of his dribbling suddenly changed. His body quickly stuck to Jinguji Takeshi, and his ball-protecting hand was directly on Takeshi's waist, leaving no space for Takeshi to steal the ball, and he quickly approached the inside.

The terrifying power poured out on Wudao. Knowing that he couldn't resist by force, Wudao took a step back, making room for himself. At the same time, he quickly changed his position, went around to the side of Shigong Tano, and reached out to hit the basketball from behind Shigong Tano.

Wu Dao was well aware of his own disadvantage in strength and had absolutely no advantage in a head-on confrontation, so he wanted to rely on his excellent speed to get around and steal the ball.

Although Shigong Tianye was very fast, Wudao was not much slower. Shigong Tianye obviously did not expect Wudao to suddenly dodge the defensive position and steal the ball from the side. He was not careful and the basketball in his right hand was stolen by Jinguji Wudao. The basketball flew out of his hand and flew towards the inside.

Masao Fujii had just moved to the middle position to prepare for defense. When the basketball flew into his hands, he was obviously stunned.

"Steal? That guy was stole the ball?" Before Fujii Masao could even react, Shinomiya Tano rushed towards him, trying to steal the ball back.

"Pass the ball! Here!" Although Fujii Masao was still in a daze, Mitsui Shou's attention was not distracted at all. When he saw Wudao hit the basketball, he ran directly to the front court. At this time, he was shouting loudly to remind Fujii Masao.

Shinomiya Tano obviously also heard the shout, and instantly changed his target. He ignored Fujii Masao who had the ball and chased after Mitsui Hisashi directly.

Fujii was a little slow to react, but he finally reacted and quickly passed the ball to the front court. Mitsui received the basketball near the midline and quickly advanced with the ball.

"Xiao San, be careful!" Jinguji Budo noticed Shinomiya Tano rushing towards Mitsui Shou, and while running towards the front court, he loudly reminded Mitsui Shou.

As Mitsui Shou dribbled forward, he saw Shinomiya Tano chasing him from behind out of the corner of his eye. While secretly sighing at the opponent's fast speed, he threw the ball with his right hand directly to Jinguji Budou on the other side.

Facing Shinomiya Tano's pursuit, Mitsui Hisashi adopted the method that was least likely to cause problems.

After getting the ball, Jinguji Budou quickly crossed the three-point line and made a light layup, scoring the ball.

Although Shimoya Tano is fast, he has no way to deal with the two-on-one situation in the frontcourt.

As the basketball went into the net, the score between the two teams became 31:26, and Takeishi Junior High School widened the gap to 5 points.

The Takeishi Junior High School bench erupted in cheers, and the noisy stands also quieted down a little because of this goal.

Shinomiya Tano, who had been invincible since the beginning, suffered a setback.

The consecutive failures on both offense and defense caused some subtle changes in the hearts of the players of Tokyo University Affiliated First Middle School. Even Fujii Masao and others on Takeishi Junior High School's side, who had been in a tense state, unconsciously relaxed a little.

The mentality of the players on both sides changed, and the turning point of the game had arrived unknowingly.
