"Eh? Xiao San~"
"You are an incompetent captain of Xiangbei. All these players are not good enough."
"I was beaten up by this kid."
Jinguji Budo was still playing the game on the court, but he immediately spotted Mitsui who had squeezed out of the crowd. He casually threw the ball towards the basket with the sound of the net hitting the net. He pointed at Miyagi Ryouta not far away and shouted at Mitsui with a smile.
Jinguji Takeshi's words obviously offended all the players of Shohoku High School. All of a sudden, the players who had lost to Takeshi's group before glared at Takeshi and Miyagi Ryouta.
Mitsui Hisashi felt somewhat helpless as he looked at Jinguji Takeshi's smiling face, and then he turned his gaze to Miyagi Ryouta who was not far away.
Mitsui Shou is already quite familiar with Jinguji Takeshi's personality. Although Takeshi always smiles when he speaks, that is just an appearance. There are really not many players who can be looked up to by Takeshi.
Now Wudao is trying to attract hatred from the short guy. Obviously, that player has caught Wudao's attention.
"Budou, are you going to offend your teammates again on your first day in Xiangbei?"
"The strength of Xiangbei High School was indeed average before, but now it is different from before. The strength of the players has improved significantly."
"You just defeated a few groups of substitute players. They cannot fully represent the strength of Xiangbei High School."
Although Mitsui Shou was talking to Jinguji Budou, his eyes were always on Miyagi Ryouta. The three-on-three game on the field stopped when Budou and Mitsui Shou were chatting.
Those players were not fools. Seeing that Wudao and Mitsui looked familiar with each other and considering the terrifying hit rate that Wudao had previously displayed on the court, they knew that they had been deceived by this guy Wudao.
This tall first-grade boy not only knows how to play basketball, but is also very strong. It is the first time they have seen a first-grade boy who can call their captain "Xiao San" without being scolded.
"What's the point of saying I'm offending you? We were just playing ball together and communicating with each other."
"You know, I haven't played a game for a long time, and I'm itching to play."
"Besides, I just came to Xiangbei, so I have to show you my current strength."
"But it's a pity that my opponent is already in trouble before I even have time to show my talent."
"Xiao San, this guy is a talent. He knocked down all your team members in one go."
Jinguji Budo walked up to Miyagi Ryouta, patted him on the shoulder, and said to Mitsui with a smile. At this time, Miyagi Ryouta didn't even know what happened. He was playing a three-on-three game well before. As Mitsui and others entered the court, their team's center suddenly became hostile to him.
Judging from what Wudao said, the boy with a middle-parted hairline seems to be the captain of the Xiangbei High School basketball team. And judging from the way Wudao spoke, he seems to be very familiar with the captain of Xiangbei
“Talent… ..”
"Besides you, there are other talented people this year."
"If that's the case, then I'm going to have a good look at it."
"Qianye, Akagi, I will team up with you, and add another group too!"
Mitsui Shou said to Chiba Daishi beside him and Akagi Takenori not far away, then turned his head to look at Jinguji Budo and continued: "I see you are not sweating at all, how about fighting with us?"
"I also want to see how far you have come now, and whether you can help me dominate the country!"
Wu Dao smiled when he heard this, but did not respond. He turned around and said to Miyagi Ryouta and Kakuda Satoru, "You should still be able to handle it. Let's have another fight."
"This guy is the captain of the Xiangbei High School basketball team. If you beat him, it's a sure thing that you'll join the basketball team. Maybe you can even get a starting spot."
Jinguji Budo narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile. He really came to the gym just to have a look at it at first, and later when he saw people playing basketball, he joined in just for fun.
But as more and more people joined, the psychology of martial arts began to change.
How can a freshman, who has just joined a team, immediately get playing time and a position in the team? In the current environment of Japan, hard training is not enough. You need strength, absolutely overwhelming strength!
Budo's words obviously aroused the interest of Miyagi Ryouta. The main reason why Miyagi came to Shohoku High School was because of Coach Anzai. He hoped to get guidance from former national player Anzai Mitsuyoshi so that he could go further on the road of basketball.
Although Miyagi's basketball basics are quite good and his personal characteristics are very distinct, his height makes it very difficult for him to join the powerful Kainan University Affiliated Middle School, or even the perennial runner-up Shoyo High School. Compared with Coach Anzai, a former national player, the coaches of other schools are all unknown.
Shohoku High School is undoubtedly the best choice for Miyagi Ryouta. Miyagi came to Shohoku in the hope that he could play well, catch the eye of Coach Anzai, and receive coach Anzai's teaching. Therefore, he of course gladly accepted the martial arts proposal.
As for Kadota Satoru, he would have no objection at all. After so many rounds of competition, Kadota Satoru already knew his position. It was said to be three against three, but in fact he was just an extra.
Seeing that both Miyagi Ryouta and Kakuda Satoru had no objections, Budo said to Mitsui Shou, "It's still just the three of us here. If you've picked the team members, let's get started."
Mitsui Hisashi nodded and waved his hand to signal the three-person team that had played against Wudao and the others to walk off the court. Then Mitsui Hisashi and Chiba Daishi walked towards the center of the court while stretching.
Akagi Takenori, who was far away, felt somewhat unhappy when he heard Mitsui's order, but after seeing Wudao's slightly arrogant attitude, he became even more unhappy and decided to teach Wudao and the others a lesson. He did not talk to Mitsui and Chiba Daishi and walked directly into the court.
"It seems that Akagi and Mitsui Hisashi don't have a good relationship?" Jinguji Takenori stood beside Akagi Takenori and felt the subtle aura emitted by Akagi and Mitsui Hisashi, and thought to himself.
At this time, Mitsui Hisashi and Akagi Takenori are a bit like first-year Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi. One is a super genius with powerful strength, and the other is a young boy with outstanding talent. Not only do they dislike each other, but they are also secretly competing with each other.
"Budo, you guys tee off."
Mitsui saw that Takeshi and Akagi were standing in the interior, and he had no intention of switching defense. According to Mitsui's original intention, he wanted to defend Takeshi himself to see what Takeshi was capable of at this stage, but the player's attributes had determined that he could not let Akagi go to the outside to defend Miyagi Ryouta.
"Miyagi, kick off. Don't be polite, attack boldly."
Jinguji Budo nodded, picked up the basketball and threw it towards Miyagi Ryouta, saying loudly. Miyagi was actually a little nervous at this time. He didn't have any psychological pressure in the three-on-three match before, but now he was a little nervous when he saw Akagi Takenori, Mitsui Hisashi, Chiba Daishi and others on the court.
The aura these three people exude is different from the opponents he encountered before. Miyagi knows that the opponents he faced this time are not the small fry he had encountered before.
"Okay!" Miyagi received the ball, responded and walked to the center circle. After handing the ball to Mitsui for inspection, he also handed the ball back to him.
After passing the ball, Mitsui immediately lowered his center of gravity and took a defensive stance. He had not watched the previous matches of Wudao and others, but even if he had not watched it, he knew what the biggest reliance of players like Miyagi was.
What most short players rely on to survive on the court is speed.
"Boss Mitsui, I'm starting!"
Miyagi Ryouta not only dresses like a gangster, but also addresses Mitsui Shou in a way that is full of social flavor. Knowing that Mitsui Shou is the captain of Xiangbei, he directly addresses him as "boss".
"..." Mitsui Shou was speechless about this title, but it was better than the "mistress" in martial arts after all. However, he did not want to accept such a title from the boss, so he did not say anything, but stared at Miyagi intently.
"Snap!" Miyagi didn't care whether Mitsui Shou responded or not. After catching the basketball, he quickly dropped the ball and rushed towards Mitsui Shou's left side.
"So fast!" Mitsui was also shocked by the speed of Miyagi Ryouta's start, and reacted a little slower before quickly turning around and chasing. Although Mitsui's reaction speed was a little slower, with Mitsui's moving speed, he still stuck to Miyagi Ryouta who was dribbling forward, and did not appear to be out of position obviously.
When Budou saw Miyagi break through, he still chose the same running position, quietly moving to the mid-range position near the baseline, creating space inside. And Kakuta Satoru also chose the same running position as Budou.
After all, they have played several games together, so even if Kakuta is dumb, he can learn it by just watching.
"Come on! First-year!" When Takenori Akagi saw Miyagi breaking through, he shouted loudly. He ignored Jinguji Takenori who left the basket, but instead went to the middle distance, trying to intercept the breaking Miyagi Ryouta.
But as soon as he moved his front foot, Mitsui Shou, who was chasing Miyagi, shouted loudly: "Akagi, defend Budo, don't let him get the ball in that position!"
Although Akagi and Mitsui Shou don't get along, he will still listen to Mitsui Shou's opinions when defending. Upon hearing this, Akagi directly changed direction and rushed towards Jinguji Budo at the baseline.
Miyagi Ryouta, who was dribbling the ball, saw that Akagi Takenori had moved away. He was thinking of passing the ball to Wudao, but he didn't pass it and went straight to the inside.
He is full of confidence in his speed and he firmly believes that no one can keep up with his breakthrough speed!
Miyagi Ryouta dribbled the ball into the basket smoothly, and after the ball was passed, he took two big steps and made a layup. Just when Miyagi Ryouta thought that he could score easily this time, a black shadow suddenly appeared from behind him.
“Bang!”
Just as the basketball was rising, Mitsui Hisashi suddenly appeared from behind Miyagi Ryouta and slapped the basketball hard. The basketball hit the backboard directly and bounced backwards.
The block shot was actually made by Mitsui Hisashi.
"What?!" Miyagi Ryouta turned his head and saw that his layup was blocked, and he exclaimed in surprise.
When Mitsui Shou landed, he was thinking about having a good conversation with Miyagi when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. Turning his head, he found that Jinguji Takeshi had come behind Mitsui Shou at some point, jumped high, and hugged the basketball in his arms.
After grabbing the rebound, Jinguji Budou took the ball with both hands, raised the ball and made a shooting motion. Mitsui Shou under the basket didn't think twice and rushed over directly. But as soon as Mitsui Shou moved, Jinguji Budou quickly dropped the ball, dribbled once, and then directly crossed the ball and jumped up.
"Fake move!" Mitsui Shou saw the martial arts breakthrough and Tong Kong suddenly shrank. He wanted to make up for it but it was too late.
"Don't even think about it!"
Just when Mitsui was disappointed, Akagi Takenori, who was defending Wudao, finally arrived and hit the ball in Wudao's hand.
“Bang!”
"Duang!
!
”
A loud bang was heard.
Although Takenori Akagi had clearly touched the basketball with one hand, he still couldn't stop Takenori Jinguji's dunk. The basketball was directly dunked into the basket by Takenori Jinguji. Takenori Jinguji grabbed the basket with both hands, raised his legs slightly, and half of his body was riding on Takenori Akagi's body.
"Dunk.....dunk!"
"And it was on the gorilla's head. This first grader dunked on the gorilla's head?!"
"So... so strong! This first grader is so strong!"
After a short silence, the Xiangbei players who were watching the game screamed out loud. Even Akagi Takenori was a little confused at this time. He raised his head slightly and looked at Jinguji Budo who was hanging in the basket, a little absent-minded.
Mitsui Shou opened his mouth slightly and stared at Wu Dao in astonishment. After a long time, he closed his mouth slightly and exhaled a breath of foul air.
"Hey, how long are you going to hang up?!"
Mitsui Shouyi slapped Takeshi's calf and shouted with a slightly dissatisfied tone, but his face was full of smiles. After these years of training, Takeshi will definitely be much stronger than when he was in the first grade of junior high school. Mitsui Shouyi knew this a long time ago. When he met Jinguji Takeshi today and saw Takeshi's tall figure, Mitsui Shou was already convinced of his thoughts.
But Budo's strength was beyond Mitsui's expectation. Although Xiangbei High School's performance in the county competition was not very good, Akagi Takenori had undoubtedly grown tremendously. In the county, Akagi was already considered a first-tier center. But Budo still completed the dunk over Akagi's head. Just from this one ball, Mitsui saw a lot.
You know, when I was in Budo Junior High School, my best way of scoring was not attacking the basket!
Now that attacking the basket is so powerful, what about other offensive means
"Shohoku's stadium is really nice. I couldn't help but dunk it."
Wu Dao landed and said to Mitsui Shou with a smile.
"It can be seen that you have very good abilities. With your current level, you should be able to become the third or second scoring point of the team."
"With you supporting me, we at Xiangbei really have a chance to win the national championship this year!"
Mitsui looked at Wudao's solid physique and began to fantasize about the future of Xiangbei.
"Assist you? Third or second scoring point?"
"Xiao San, what are you talking about?"
“I am not who I once was.”
"I came to Xiangbei to lead Xiangbei to win the championship. Do you understand what 'lead' means?"
"From now on, you will be my good assistant~"
