Chapter 60: Slam Dunk Contest

After Hikoichi finished saying to Tanaka Jun, he turned around and left, leaving Tanaka Jun who was still stunned and had no time to get angry.

Through this buckle, Yuzhu regained a little morale. As long as he hasn't conceded defeat and hasn't been beaten, he hasn't lost, and the Lingnan team hasn't lost yet.

It was Tanaka Jun who dribbled over half the court again, and this time he commanded Nobu Watanabe to come over to block the demolition.

Want to change the defense to hit me? Hikoichi immediately thought of Tanaka Jun's intentions and glanced at Ikegami.

Ikegami understood, only to see him go around the transition to Bian Nobu and Hikoichi, continue to chase Tanaka Jun, and insist on not changing guards!

Going around the screen will inevitably give space to the ball carrier, and Tanaka can be considered empty for a moment outside the three-point line.

Regarding this, Hikoichi's attitude is: You vote, if you vote, I will lose!

Jun Tanaka didn't give Hikoto a chance to lose, he just glared at Hikoto viciously, and then honestly continued to face Ikegami's defense.

Making the enemy uncomfortable is the most comfortable thing to do.

Hikoichi didn't look at Tanaka Jun at all, and continued to follow Watanabe Shin leisurely.

Jun Tanaka has been killed by two of Ikegami's defenses, but he still has no intention of passing. He didn't believe in evil, continued to break through, and turned the game between the two teams into a bullfight.

As I said before, two people attack and defend, and the attacker has an advantage of being the first move, has no one doubted it? Why can't you still get past the person on the other side?

In fact, the advantage of the attacker is not absolute, because in fact, the defender also has an advantage, without the ball.

Although the attacker with the ball has the upper hand, if the combination of man and ball is insufficient, the action will naturally not be fast, which will give the defender enough time to react and keep up with the rhythm.

However, the attacker can improve the ability to combine the ball, improve the level of penetration, and infinitely reduce the defender's off-ball advantage. If the attacker is not strong enough to erase this advantage of the defender, it will be difficult to form a breakthrough.

For now, Tanaka's ability to combine the ball is not enough for him to pass Ikegami within the time difference advantage brought by the first move.

In fact, for ordinary high school students, Tanaka Jun's ball skills are already good, otherwise he would not be able to be the core of Uchimura No. 2 High School.

But his strength has not reached the level of absolute stars like Amu and Fuji Zhen, otherwise he would not have been eliminated in the first few rounds of the knockout round in the first two years.

And Ikegami has always positioned himself as an active defender in the team, and his defensive ability that he has honed is definitely top-notch in the high school league where this skill has not been paid enough attention.

Therefore, it is not a fuss that Ikegami can defend the core of the opposing team again and again.

Not enough likely that Jun Tanaka is just the former core...

I saw that Jun Tanaka broke through several times without success, and began to shoot again, directly shooting backwards, how difficult it really is.

This goal obviously won't go in, and the third positional attack of Uchimura No. 2 High School automatically turns the focus into the scramble for frontcourt rebounds!

That's right, in fact, frontcourt rebounding is the last reliance of Uchimura's second all the way to the quarterfinals!

Although Tanaka Jun's style of play is also a bit unique, it is not too much like today, and today it is purely because he is fascinated by anger.

Uchimura No. 2 High School also has its own unique tactics. First of all, Tanaka Jun's personal attack will focus on the first attack, of course, it can also be organized by Watanabe Shin depending on the actual situation, but this has not yet had a chance to show. In addition, the other two players, who have not had a chance to perform at all in this game so far, also have their own responsibilities.

Small forward No. 6 Hoshino Akisui, a skinny-looking thin boy, although his ability to hold the ball is a little poor, he has a good mid-range shot, plays steadily, and is the team's second shooting point.

Power forward No. 7 Yoshida Shu, in stark contrast to Akisui Hoshino, is a chubby boy, and he is generally the most "wide" one on the court. Before James came, he was the team's center, and now he has changed to the No. 4 position, and his main responsibility is to grab rebounds, whether it is to help James get in the position when attacking rebounds, or to protect defensive rebounds, he has quietly contributed to his efforts.

Finally, there is James, who is independent of the four, and he realizes the second part of the tactic, which is the essence of this tactic's characteristic, the secondary attack.

In addition to helping the team a lot defensively, James uses his physical fitness to grab rebounds in the front court and attack the basket directly, which can also cover up his shortcomings in holding the ball and dribbling ability.

However, most of that tactical thinking has yet to be reflected in this game.

This leads to the fact that, in Hikoichi's eyes, Uchimura's second tactic is simple: Jun Tanaka X ** hits, and then James comes to rush to grab the rebound in the front court!

It's no wonder that Hikoi thinks so...

"Bang!" Jun Tanaka's ball really didn't go in again, smashed on the back edge of the basket, and bounced high but not far!

Although James is explosive, Yuzhu has a weight advantage, and his usual strength training gives him a good static holding strength, which is extremely useful in the card position.

That's not enough! Yuzhu silently thought that he had stuck James behind him in this way a few times before, but he still took the ball down with amazing bounces and reach. Than bounce is definitely not comparable, must occupy a greater advantage from the card position!

Fishpillar used his back to restrain James back a little more!

Sure enough, because he was far away from where the ball landed, James couldn't get the ball out of reach of the fish post in this position. He can only jump with the fish pillar!

Gotta win this one! The fish pillar struggled to jump.

"Smack!" Ball... Picked into the air again! James and Fishpillar hit the ball together, and the ball flew into the air again!

Not good! This time it looked evenly matched, but thinking about James's bounce speed, Yuzhu knew that this rebound was going to be bad!

Sure enough, after the two of them landed, James obviously bounced into the air again at a faster speed!

He picked up another rebound on the stigma!

When he landed, he held the ball to his chest with both hands.

To deduct another one, just... It's a bit far from the basket, what should I do... Well?!

"Smack!!" James was thinking about it, and suddenly he hit the ball with a strong force, and then with a light hand, the ball was lost!

What about the ball?!

Ball, in Hiko's hand!

Before watching Tanaka Jun make a move, Hikoichi leaned towards Yuzhu and James intentionally or unintentionally, and then watched the ball being picked up into the air, he sneaked behind James, and after James won the rebound, he made a quick decision and broke the ball!

"Attack!" Hikoichi shouted and rushed to the front!

Sendo and Fukuda had already rushed ahead, followed by Hoshino Akisui and Yoshida Shu!

"Huh?" Rushing through the half, Hikoichi felt that there was someone behind him, was it Jun Tanaka? Hikoko glanced at one side...

It's James! He follows Hikochi closely, and there is a tendency to overtake!

That's fast! Hikochi didn't have time to think about it, because Fukuda ran at the front and was almost under the basket!

Hikoichi decisively scooped up the ball, pushed the ball out of his chest with both hands, and smashed the ball straight to the basket!

And then...... The ball was stopped by a pair before hitting the basket!! It was Fukuda, who stopped the ball in the air, twisted his waist and smashed the ball directly to the basket!

"Bang!" The same aerial relay as before the opening kick-off, and the ball was scored!

"Oh!! ~~Come on! The audience shouted excitedly, not knowing who to cheer for.

Most of the audience on the stage shouted excitedly, another wonderful dunk! I thought it would be a three-point contest, but I didn't expect it to be a slam dunk contest!

This slam dunk brought the score to 9:4!

After Fukuda landed, he raised his arms, raised his head and closed his eyes, immersing himself in the cheers of the audience.

Sure enough, that's what I like, this kind of cheer and affirmation for me... Fukuda seems to understand what he wants.

I don't know this No. 13 either, and it seems that the strength is also very strong. And the previous break and pass, it seems that this final will not be so easy... Ah Mu's mood is getting heavier and heavier to watch this game.

Ah Fu, it's really you! The god Soichiro behind Ah Mu recognized Fukuda.

“I am so sorry!” Hikoichi shrugged at James and uttered a sentence in broken English.

"......" James looked at Hikochi condescendingly.

I'll go, I won't do it. Hikoichi looked at James's face and regretted that he was talking too much, but he still pretended to be calm and looked at James with a smile.

“…… Never mind. James shook off a blank expression and turned to leave.

Well?! Speaking Japanese so slippery, you said it earlier!! Hikoichi suddenly felt that his broken English just now was so embarrassing...
