"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~"
Jinguji Budou patted Mitsui Shou on the back and said shamelessly. As for Akagi Takenori who was dunked by him, Budou just glanced at him indifferently. At this stage, Akagi Takenori really couldn't catch his eye. Although Akagi was of good height, strong, and good jumping ability, he was far behind in terms of skills and experience.
Being a blue-collar worker is acceptable, but if he wants to compete with Budou and Mitsui for the offensive ball and the ace position in the team, he is a long way off, even if he is one year higher than Budou.
"Assist you?!"
"You bastard, you can't recognize yourself just because you scored a goal? As long as I am still in Xiangbei, I will be Xiangbei's trump card!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Keep teeing off!"
Mitsui Shou's forehead was throbbing with veins. When he heard what Wu Dao said, he didn't care about his image as a captain at all and spoke angrily. He and Wu Dao had a very good relationship. In front of Wu Dao, Mitsui Shou found it difficult to maintain his dignity as a captain. He was provoked by Wu Dao with just a few words.
"Hi hi hi~"
"You're the ace."
Wu Dao picked up the ball casually, threw it to Miyagi Ryouta on the outside, responded perfunctorily, and then quietly walked to the bottom corner, waiting for Miyagi to kick off.
"This guy doesn't even take me seriously!"
Mitsui was very angry, but there was someone who was even angrier than Mitsui. Akagi Takenori, who was blocked by Jinguji Budou, looked at Jinguji Budou walking to the bottom corner, and his face became even darker. Being blocked by Jinguji Budou was already a very embarrassing thing, but what made him even angrier than the block was Budou's arrogant attitude towards him.
It was as if he, Akagi Takenori, was not worthy of being mentioned any more by the other party.
How could Akagi Takenori possibly bear this
Although Akagi's basketball skills are average, his excellent physical talents allow him to do quite well on the high school basketball court.
Although he was not the strongest center in the county in his first year of high school, Akagi believed that after a year of improvement, his strength was no less than any other center in the county. However, he was ignored by martial arts.
While Akagi was furious, he also wanted to teach Wudao a lesson, so when Wudao left the inside and went to the bottom corner, Akagi followed him.
"Although this guy is arrogant, he is indeed very strong."
"He was able to dunk after I touched the basketball. This guy has a lot of strength."
"But this is not the most terrifying thing about him. The most important thing to guard against is this kid's jumping ability. The reason why I was able to easily complete the dunk just now was because of his jumping ability. We need to control him on the outside."
Although Akagi Takenori was angry, he did not lose his mind. Thinking back to the dunk by Budo just now, Akagi Takenori changed his defensive strategy.
Miyagi Ryouta kicked off the game, and after Mitsui Hisashi checked the ball, Miyagi Ryouta got the basketball again, but this time, Miyagi did not choose to attack on his own.
Jinguji Budo, who was originally in the bottom corner, saw Akagi approaching after Miyagi got the ball. He pursed his lips slightly and immediately moved from the bottom corner to the high three-point line, while raising his hand to ask Miyagi for the ball.
Miyagi was deeply impressed by the dunk that Takeshi had just made. When he saw Takeshi asking for the ball, he passed the ball to Takeshi without thinking. However, when he passed the ball, Mitsui Hisashi, who was defending him, suddenly jumped up and his fingertips touched the basketball.
Mitsui's height has jumped from 177cm in his first year to 183cm now, and his weight has increased from 71kg in his first year of junior high school to 73kg. The knee injury in his first year of high school did not have any adverse effects on Mitsui's development. In fact, the balanced diet and reasonable rehabilitation training during the recovery period have ensured Mitsui's growth and development.
His height increased a lot, but his weight increased very little. This boy has entered a period of rapid growth, but his physique does not allow him to gain weight at all.
This body shape makes Mitsui look a little thin, but his speed and explosiveness are much stronger than when he was in high school. At this time, facing the lob pass from the short man Miyagi Ryouta, he immediately intervened.
However, Mitsui's intervention was limited after all, and the trajectory of the basketball was only slightly deviated. Wudao, who received the ball, only took two more steps and successfully caught the basketball. Miyagi saw Wudao catching the ball and walked towards the sideline tactfully. Mitsui looked at Wudao, looked at Miyagi, and still chose not to drop the defense against Miyagi to make up for it.
Mitsui also wanted to see how Budo could score against Akagi's defense. Although he looked down on Akagi, Mitsui also acknowledged Akagi's defensive value. In the previous games of Xiangbei, Akagi, as Xiangbei's defensive gate, had very few defeats.
"Snap!" With his back to Akagi Takenori, Wu Dao grabbed the basketball with one hand outside the three-point line. After catching the ball, Wu Dao turned his head slightly to glance at Akagi's position, then quickly turned around, bent down and quickly swept the ball, while at the same time, he kicked not far in front of the right. Wu Dao's sudden turn and sweep immediately shifted Akagi's center of gravity. Akagi tried to lower his body and move sideways to block his way to the left.
But at this moment, Wudao made a breakthrough and quickly dropped the ball, but after the ball fell, the direction of the basketball bounced back was to Akagi's right side.
Turn around and spy on him in disguise.
In the blink of an eye, Wudao broke through from the right side of Akagi Takenori, and his extremely fast speed did not give Akagi Takenori any time to react. After passing Akagi Takenori, the road ahead of Wudao was smooth!
"Martial Arts! Have you forgotten about me?"
Just as Wudao broke into the inside and jumped for the ball, Chiba Daiishi, who was originally defending Kakuta Satoru, suddenly jumped out from the side of Wudao with a roar, jumped up and blocked in front of Wudao, and his body collided directly with Wudao.
Although he roared very loudly, the difference in jumping ability between Chiba Daishi and Wudao was too great. Although he used his body to stop Wudao from sliding forward, Wudao still held the basketball high in both hands, and his movements did not show any deformation.
Knowing that a slam dunk was impossible, Wu Dao simply changed to holding the ball with one hand in the air, and with a push of his palm, he put the basketball directly into the basket.
"Swish!" Accompanied by a slight sound, the entire stadium fell into silence again.
Although there was no referee in a three-on-three baseball game, everyone knew that Chiba Oishi had committed a blocking foul and that Wu Dao had scored the goal. This goal was a two-plus-one.
“Wow…..so awesome!”
"A first grader can actually do something like this? Is this guy Jordan?!"
The Xiangbei players who were watching the game expressed their feelings after a brief silence. Everyone was shocked by Wudao's performance. Except for what they saw on TV, it was the first time they saw someone who could play like Wudao.
Wu Dao's series of movements were smooth and beautiful. Watching Wu Dao's layup, they seemed to see the basketball god from the other side of the ocean.
No matter whether it was at Shohoku High School or the opponents Shohoku had met in the county tournament, none of them played like Budo.
Everyone was surprised, but Wudao, who hit the ball, looked unhappy and depressed.
"Although my strength has improved significantly over the years, my impact is still a little lacking."
"If I were stronger, I could have completed the dunk even with Qianye Dashi on my head."
"There is still a limit to the strength that a growing body can develop!"
Wu Dao silently glanced at his system panel, looked at the power entry of High School A-, sighed silently, and was a little disappointed.
"Jinguji Budo, height 195.6cm, weight 83.5kg, strength: high school A-level, agility: high school A+ level, body coordination: S-level."
"Destiny: Ordinary, the original intention is forever."
"Daily tasks."
"Please complete 200 push-ups, 150 sit-ups, 300 squats, and 15KM of running before 00:00 at night."
“Mission Reward: Strain Recovery Potion! (Relieve fatigue and feel relaxed!)”
"Martial Arts: Golden Bell Cover and Iron Cloth Shirt (specially used to counter the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms), Level 1."
Wu Dao's personal attributes had already changed when he graduated from junior high school, and the original prefix "junior high school" was changed to high school.
Wudao's growth from training over the years is indeed visible to the naked eye. As his growth and development enters the middle and late stages, his weight and strength have improved significantly, and even his body coordination has risen to a higher level.
The system's daily tasks have undergone some minor changes, but other than that, there has been no other changes to Wu Dao's golden finger. Although Wu Dao's growth over the years is inseparable from the help of strain recovery potions provided by the system, it is more dependent on Wu Dao's own unremitting training and hard work.
Other people’s golden fingers may be 18cm, but martial arts’ golden fingers may not even make him feel that he has a golden finger.
The game did not stop because of Wu Dao's goal.
After scoring two goals in a row, Wu Dao now has the trust of Miyagi, who immediately gave the ball to Wu Dao after the kickoff. Facing the defense of Akagi Takenori, Wu Dao still chose to receive the ball outside the three-point line.
Just as Takeshi was about to attack with his back to Takenori Akagi, Coach Anzai had already walked into the gym silently. His arrival did not alarm anyone, and everyone focused their attention on Takeshi Jinguji, who was holding the ball with his back to the basket, holding their breath and waiting for Takeshi to attack.
"Wow~" Mitsuyoshi Anzai walked to the sidelines silently without disturbing anyone, pushed his glasses, looked at Jinguji Budo on the field, and let out a sigh.
"Jinguji Budo! This kid is coming to Shohoku."
"Your height is outstanding."
Coach Anzai knew Jinguji Budo. Not only had he heard his nephew talk about Budo, but he had also met Budo once a year ago and was deeply impressed by him. At this moment, his attention was also attracted by Budo, and he stood silently at the outermost edge of the court, watching Budo.
In the court, Akagi Takenori, who had just suffered a loss, obviously did not learn his lesson and still followed Wudao to the outside line. However, this time, Akagi was somewhat prepared for Wudao's breakthrough and stood half a meter away from Wudao, with his arms raised flatly and his center of gravity calmed down and he was fully alert.
Wu Dao turned his head slightly to watch Akagi defending himself and couldn't help but laugh.
"Why are you squatting so low? It's so tiring to stand up!"
A few words floated into the ears of Takenori Akagi, and Jinguji Takenori, who was with his back to the goal, suddenly turned around and shot from outside the three-point line right in front of Takenori Akagi.
The basketball quickly flew over Akagi's head and flew towards the basket. Amidst the surprised and puzzled gazes of everyone, the basketball flew directly into the net, making a crisp sound of hitting the net.
"Ohhhhhh! Three-pointer!"
"Three-point shot, this guy can shoot a three-point shot?!"
The players exclaimed in surprise, one after another shouting in disbelief. Akagi was also shocked. The calmest people among all, besides Jinguji Budou, were Mitsui Hisashi and Anzai Mitsuyoshi who was watching the game.
Anzai Mitsuyoshi raised his head slightly, and all the reflections from the glasses disappeared, revealing his bright eyes. He just stared at martial arts quietly, and no one knew what he was thinking at this moment.
"Shooting so fast, he can even shoot a three-pointer?"
"This guy, isn't that too foul?!"
Akagi Takenori's astonishment has not disappeared, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Wudao was full of disbelief.
Although he has the height and physique of a center, in a total of three offensive attempts, Wu Dao received the ball outside the three-point line twice, broke through once, and made a pull-up three-pointer once.
When watching Budou play before, Akagi Takenori only thought that Budou was just a center who could shoot mid-range shots. But now that he is actually playing against Budou, Akagi can't figure out how to describe Budou's playing style.
Center? Guard
Or... .back... .back? !
Wu Dao's offensive did not stop just because he scored three goals. After all, the game was about scoring six goals, not six points. Even if Wu Dao made a three-pointer, it only counted as one goal.
The ball still belongs to the Wudao team.
The one serving was still Miyagi Ryouta, but now Miyagi Ryouta had completely given up the idea of attacking. Seeing Takeshi's superb performance, the only thing in Miyagi Ryouta's mind was how to get the ball to Takeshi's hands.
He was also very curious about what other offensive methods Wu Dao, who was from the same class as him, had.
Chiba Daiishi, who was defending Kadota Satoru, finally gave up defending Kadota and stood silently under the basket, ready to provide backup defense at any time.
Although Chiba Daishi is very happy about Budo's strength, it doesn't mean he will just sit there and wait for death. It is a good thing to have Budo join Xiangbei, but Chiba is only a sophomore and doesn't want to be eliminated early!
Although Mitsui Hisashi did not give up defending Miyagi, when Miyagi Ryouta once again passed the ball to Takeshi, he moved slightly towards Takeshi, ready to provide backup defense at any time.
This time, Akagi directly chose close defense. Facing Jinguji Budou, he planned to increase Budou's strength!
Wu Dao still received the ball with his back to the basket, as if this was the only way for him to receive the ball. However, this was just Wu Dao's own second-year syndrome. He wanted to copy Jordan and Kobe's post-up singles, so he received the ball with his back to the basket.
Apparently, he did a pretty good job replicating the previous two goals~
"You better stand still when you're so close!"
Wudao felt the strength coming from his back and waist, held the ball against his chest, leaned slightly on Akagi, and said softly. Without waiting for Akagi to reply, Wudao threw the ball to his left side with his left hand, and his body suddenly turned to his right side.
The ball was passed to Jinguji Budou, who once again passed Akagi Takenori in the blink of an eye.
Akagi's movement speed is average, and although his defense is very strong, he lacks experience. Now standing in front of Wudao, he is like a wooden stake and cannot keep up with Wudao's pace at all.
From the moment Akagi Takenori raised his position to defend Wudang, it was destined that Akagi would become Wudang's background board.
He passed the ball to the opponent, dribbled past the opponent in a playful manner, passed the ball at a 45-degree angle from mid-range, and made a quick stop and jump shot, not giving Chiba Daishi any chance to make up for the defense.
The basketball hit the backboard and went into the net, and the martial arts team scored 4 goals.
The players of Xiangbei were no longer surprised to see Wudao score the goal again. Although they still exclaimed in surprise, the exclamation lasted for a much shorter time.
"Damn it! This guy got through me again!"
"How come you're as slippery as an eel!"
Akagi Takenori clenched his fists and stared at Wudao without saying a word. When Wudao returned to the three-point line, he stood in front of Wudao again. He would not give up like this. He must defend against Wudao's attack.
"Akagi Takenori, right?"
"You'll be a good player, but you're no match for me."
"Come on, someone else. You can't defend me."
Wudao looked at the determined Akagi Takenori in front of him and couldn't help but say. At this stage, Akagi is too weak. Even after a year of training by Coach Anzai, he is just an inside blue-collar player. Although he has good physical fitness, it is not enough to rely on his body to be Wudao's opponent.
