Takenori Jinguji did not want to continue facing the defense of Takenori Akagi. For him, it was too easy to pass a slow-moving player like Akagi, and there was no sense of accomplishment for Takenori Jinguji if he defeated Akagi at this stage.
Compared to Akagi, Budo would rather have Mitsui defend him, so that the game will be more interesting.
"Don't underestimate people!"
"I will never lose to a first-year like you."
"I'll be able to defend you in no time!"
Akagi Takenori looked angry and was quite dissatisfied with Wu Dao's attitude at this time.
Seeing Takenori Akagi like this, Wudao shook his head and didn't say anything else. He just mentioned the high position again, turned his back to Takenori Akagi, and asked Miyagi Ryouta for the ball.
Wudao really didn't want to face off against Akagi, whose strength was much weaker than his, but Akagi didn't think so. The stronger Wudao was, the more his self-esteem would not allow him to retreat at this time.
"Hey, hey, hey, are you going too far?" Miyagi Ryouta served the ball, and after passing it to Wudao, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Akagi.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that with Akagi Takenori's lateral speed, it would only be a difficult situation for him to face Jinguji Budou. However, although Miyagi sympathized with Akagi, he was still quite resolute when passing the ball to Budou. As a qualified guard, passing the basketball to the scoring point is undoubtedly the best passing option.
"Snap!" The basketball was in his hands, and Wudao once again received the ball with his back to the basket. His posture for receiving the ball was no different from the previous times, but Akagi Takenori knew that although Wudao's posture for receiving the ball was the same as before, his offensive methods were quite varied.
"Bang!" Wudao's butt hit Akagi Takenori's back and the ball fell quickly. At the same time, his legs exerted force and huge force poured directly onto Akagi Takenori's body.
"Forced attack?!" Akagi Takenori didn't expect that Wudao would take the initiative to exert force. His center of gravity was not very high to begin with, and with his low center of gravity, he was pushed back half a step by Wudao.
Akagi noticed that Wudao had changed his attack method, and quickly raised his center of gravity, steadied his feet, and prepared to resist Wudao's next attack.
However, as soon as Akagi stood up slightly to raise his center of gravity, Jinguji Budou quickly turned around with the ball, quickly passed by Akagi's side, and rushed towards the basket at a high speed.
The extremely fast breakthrough speed didn't even give Akagi time to react. In a blink of an eye, Akagi was left far behind by Wudao.
However, this time, Mitsui Hisashi and Chiba Daiishi did not continue to guard their men and watch. At the moment when Wudao broke through, both of them gave up the players they were going to defend and quickly double-teamed Wudao.
At the same time, Miyagi Ryouta also realized that he had an opportunity and quickly ran towards the basket.
Miyagi's current scoring method mainly relies on breakthrough layups. Only when he is close to the basket can he score.
"Facing a double-team, he will pass the ball, right?!" Both Mitsui Hisashi and Chiba Daiishi spotted Miyagi Ryouta running towards the inside. While double-teaming Wudao, their positions also changed slightly, and they were ready to steal the ball and defend Miyagi at any time.
Budo entered the paint with the ball.
He glanced sideways at Miyagi not far away, then suddenly took a small jump step while dribbling the ball, and quickly pulled the ball behind him with his right hand.
"It's a back pass!" Mitsui Hisashi's eyes lit up when he saw Takeshi's move. He had already prepared for the interception and took a big step forward, directly blocking between Takeshi and Miyagi. The one who did the same thing as him was Chiba Daishi in the inside. He also noticed Takeshi's move and turned around, looking at Miyagi to prepare for the backup defense.
However, just when everyone thought that Wudao would pass the ball, Wudao Jinguji pulled the ball back in front of him with his right hand, and jumped directly towards the basket after one step.
With an easy layup, the basketball fell directly into the net.
"Ohh!
!
! What is that? ! "
"Can you fake a layup?"
“Isn’t that really walking?”
The basketball was once again sent into the net by Wudao, and the Xiangbei players watching the game exclaimed again. In such a short three-on-three basketball game, I don’t know how many times these spectators have exclaimed.
But we can't blame these players for being surprised by what they have seen. NBA was not so popular in Japan at that time, and few young players in this country had seen offensive techniques like martial arts.
When facing Akagi, Budo has already used a dimensionality reduction attack.
"Xiao San, it's the fifth goal."
"Wouldn't it be too embarrassing to be shut out?"
Jinguji Takeshi said to Mitsui Shou with a smile, his tone was gentle but his words were very arrogant.
"Akagi, guard the basket and get ready to defend and grab rebounds!"
Mitsui Shou ignored Jinguji Budou, said something to Akagi, rolled up his short-sleeved shirt, touched the soles of his shoes, and then walked towards the three-point line. After landing at the top of the arc, Mitsui Shou said to Budou:
"Come!"
"Hey!" Seeing Mitsui's serious look, Wudao couldn't help laughing, and trotted to the three-point line, still with his back to Mitsui, and said to Miyagi.
"Miyagi-san, please serve the ball."
Miyagi also realized that he was just a tool. He picked up the basketball from the ground and ran to the center circle, passing the ball to Wudao.
It was almost the same position as the previous time when he faced Akagi, except that this time, the opponent was Mitsui Hisashi.
Mitsui Shou, who was defending Wudao, was not as clumsy as Akagi. Moreover, in one-on-one defense, Mitsui Shou was obviously much more experienced than Akagi. Mitsui Shou stood about 40cm behind Wudao, supporting his body, with the palm of his right hand against Wudao's back, and the other hand raised horizontally, guarding against Wudao's breakthrough.
hand-check.
Hand-touch defense, a defensive method that has not been seen since 2004, was used on Budo by Mitsui Hisashi.
"After all, he trained in the U.S. His one-on-one defense skills are far beyond the reach of that rookie Akagi."
Jinguji Takeshi held the ball with both hands, feeling the warmth on his waist. He turned his head slightly to look at Mitsui Hisashi and raised his eyebrows.
He stepped his left foot back a little, then turned around quickly, and the basketball landed under Wudao's crotch and landed in his left hand. At the same time, Wudao's right hand quickly pushed Mitsui's hand away, and he dribbled the ball directly to Mitsui's right side.
The advantage of hand-touch defense is that you can use your hands to track the position of the offensive player. If you just watch, you will easily be fooled by the offensive player's feint, but the touch of your hands can most intuitively detect the location of Mitsui's brain and martial arts.
The moment Wudao turned around and broke through, Mitsui Hisashi had already reacted. He quickly raised his right hand and moved his body to the right, blocking Wudao and giving him resistance, while also guarding against Wudao's sudden stop jump shot.
Wudang took only two steps when he was blocked by Mitsui Shou, making it difficult for him to dribble smoothly. He quickly stopped his advancing body, dribbled the basketball to his right hand, and at the same time took two small steps back with the ball to create distance and adjust his dribbling rhythm.
Mitsui Shou knew Takeshi very well. Even though Takeshi was only about two meters inside the three-person line at this time, Mitsui Shou still did not dare to create too much distance between him and Takeshi. As Takeshi retreated, Mitsui Shou quickly followed and did not dare to let Takeshi shoot from the middle.
Seeing Mitsui approaching again, Wudao's center of gravity dropped suddenly, and he quickly broke through to the left side of Mitsui with the ball. His extremely fast starting speed and explosive power surprised Mitsui, and he hurried to catch up after recovering. However, this time, Mitsui lagged behind Wudao by half a body length, and just followed Wudao closely, with his left hand raised high.
Mitsui's defense was very good. Although he was half a body length behind Takeshi, he was not completely out of position. Mitsui was confident that he could block Takeshi's shot. Thinking of Akagi Takenori's backup in the interior, Mitsui did not think about speeding up to intercept, but drove Takeshi towards Akagi's defense zone like a duck.
Wu Dao took the ball and quickly broke into the mid-range. He seemed not to feel the danger of being double-teamed and walked into the paint area stupidly.
“Mitsui’s defense was very good and very smart.”
"Jinguji-san's choice of attack this time was a bit hasty."
Coach Anxi saw that Wu Dao was forced into Akagi's defense zone by Mitsui Shou, and nodded slightly, and was quite satisfied with Mitsui Shou's defense in this round. Everyone present could see that Wu Dao had actually fallen into Mitsui Shou's trap.
However, Jinguji Budou's reaction seemed to be a lot slower. It was not until he entered the paint area that he realized he had fallen into a trap. After dribbling once, he suddenly stopped and raised the ball to shoot.
"Haha! Wudao, you've been fooled!" When Mitsui saw Wudao raising the ball to shoot, he laughed loudly, took off directly, and raised his hands high, trying to block Wudao.
"0.0" However, when Mitsui Shou flew into the air, he was shocked to find that Wudao did not jump at all.
Wu Dao raised the basketball and looked at Mitsui Shou who flew past him. He silently put the ball down, and then waited until Mitsui Shou's hand disappeared from his sight before he looked at the basket and raised the basketball again.
"Don't even think about it!" Wudao had just raised the basketball when another loud shout rang in Wudao's ears. Akagi Takenori in the inside arrived in time and saw that Wudao had fooled Mitsui Hisashi with a fake move, so he jumped up quickly and tried to block Wudao's shot.
However, after Akagi jumped up, he suddenly became alert. This time, Jinguji Budou still did not jump to shoot. Both shots were fakes!
Wudao watched Akagi fly past him, bent his knees slightly, and slowly raised the ball again.
“Eat me a big hot pot!
"However, just as the martial arts ball was raised, Chiba Daishi jumped out from the side, roaring and leaping high.
“… … .”
"All three of them are very innocent, that's great~"
Wu Dao bent his knees, watched a person fly past him, sighed softly, and shot a fadeaway jump shot.
“Bang!”
“Swish!”
The basketball was hit directly into the net by Wudao. As the basketball landed, Akagi Takenori, Mitsui Hisashi and Chiba Daiishi all froze in place. They all turned their heads to look at Wudao with disbelief on their faces.
Fake? Continuous fake
"One on the second floor, one on the third floor, and one on the fourth floor."
"But this time, I'm on the fifth floor!"
“We won!”
Wu Dao looked at the three stunned people, raised his chin slightly, pointed at himself with his thumb, and said.
"Huh?! You bastard~"
"No, you win this one. We'll play two out of three. Let's continue!"
"This time, we'll kick off first!"
Mitsui Shou obviously did not accept the fact that he had failed. He shook his head and shouted loudly, looking like a three-year-old child.
"Who wants to play best of three with you? Go, go, next group, next group."
"If you lose again, will it become best of five?"
"Go! Go! Go."
Wudao couldn't help laughing when he saw Mitsui Shou playing tricks. He walked to Mitsui Shou and pushed him to kick him off the field.
"One more round! One more round!" Mitsui Shou shouted loudly, resisting the power of martial arts, without any awareness of being the captain of the basketball team.
"Uh-huh!"
“It was a really good match.”
"But if you want to continue fighting, you should wait until after morning practice."
Just as Takeshi and Mitsui Hisashi were pushing each other, Anzai Mitsuyoshi coughed lightly, walked out of the crowd, clapping his hands and speaking to everyone in the venue.
Seeing Coach Anxi coming, Mitsui Shou subconsciously held back his strength and was pushed by Wudao, causing him to stagger. After Mitsui Shou stood firm, he rolled his eyes at Wudao, then stood up straight with a smile and greeted him loudly.
“Hello, coach!”
"Hello, coach!" Although Mitsui's greeting was rang out, the other team members also shouted loudly.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh."
Coach Anxi nodded, then slowly walked to Wudao and the others, looked up at Wudao's handsome face, and asked kindly:
"You are Jinguji Budou classmate, right? I've heard of you and I've met you once before. I didn't expect to see you again."
"What identity did you use to come to the basketball hall this time?"
Coach Anzai looked at Jinguji Budo and asked the question even though he knew the answer.
“Hello, coach!”
"I'm a freshman at Xiangbei High School. I want to join the basketball team. I happened to have some time this morning, so I came to take a look!"
In front of Coach Anxi, Wudao couldn't help but become a little more serious, stood up straight and answered.
"Hohoho, join the basketball team."
"That's great, let's join in the training later."
After hearing Wudao's answer, Coach Anxi nodded in satisfaction, but he didn't say much, just a simple word of encouragement. Then he looked at Miyagi and Kakuda Satoru and asked:
"Are you guys also going to join the basketball club like him?"
Seeing that Coach Anzai had asked him, Miyagi nodded vigorously and said loudly before Kakuta Satoru: "Yes, Coach Anzai, I want to join the basketball team!"
"Me... me too." Compared to Miyagi, Kakuta Satoru seemed much more introverted.
"Then let's join the morning exercise, Mitsui, and give them some team uniforms."
"Warm up and start training."
Mitsuyoshi Anzai said to Mitsui Hisashi, then quietly walked to the rest area on the sidelines and sat down.
Mitsui was a little upset that he couldn't continue playing against Budo. He was still upset about being tricked by Budo. However, he would not go against the decision of Coach Anzai. He glared at Budo fiercely and went to the equipment room. Not long after, Mitsui took some new training clothes from the equipment room and returned to the court.
After Mitsui gave Miyagi and Kakuta Satoru a set of yellow training suits respectively, he came behind Wudao and threw three sets of jerseys to him.
One set is a yellow training suit, and the other two sets are actually two official jerseys, one red and one white. The number on the jersey is 15.
"Here, it's for you!"
Mitsui Shou threw his clothes to Wudao and said casually.
"Huh? Why do I have three sets? Don't they only have one?"
"And.....is this an official jersey?"
Wu Dao looked at the single set of training suits in Miyagi and the others' hands, then looked at the other two sets of No. 15 jerseys in his own hands, and asked in confusion.
"You're different from them."
"Jersey, I have already prepared it for you."
"But I didn't expect you to grow taller after not seeing you for a few months. You can try it. If you are still small, you will have to do it again."
Mitsui Shou said casually, then clapped his hands and shouted to the Xiangbei players: "Assemble!"
"I've been preparing for this for a long time..."
Wudao opened the transparent plastic bag containing the jersey, stroked the Shohoku jersey and murmured. For some reason, he suddenly felt moved.
