Chapter Thirty-Three: Amazing Skills, Close Contact
Ohashi responded without showing weakness: "Come as many times as you can!" ”
Although he answered very strongly, Ohashi didn't hit hard at all, and he made a pass to the ground, and passed the ball to the real wood behind Nakamura after jumping up.
Maki didn't hold the ball, but shot it directly and sent the ball to the left baseline, where Imai adjusted and adjusted again to make sure that nothing went wrong before throwing the basketball. This redundant adjustment, slow movement, in normal times, there has been no chance to shoot for a long time, but at this time, none of the players on the court have noticed that the basketball has reached the outside line.
Imai, who shot comfortably, finally scored his first three-pointer of the day!
44-25。
There is only 1 point left to reach the goal of 20 points!
There were 56 seconds left in the first half.
Under the pressure of Taiga, Hane dribbled the ball across the half court with difficulty and continued to look for Nakamura, except for Nakamura, the other players in the team either couldn't get the ball, or they couldn't get the ball even if they couldn't make a move.
Nakamura backed his back against Maki, dribbled the ball twice, and half-turned to force a jump shot.
Maki was suppressed this time and couldn't jump, while Miyagawa and Yoshino were also pinned down and couldn't come up to help.
Nakamura's shot arc was high, and the basketball smashed on the inside of the hoop and bounced high.
Miyagawa failed to jam Nakahara and jumped at the same time as him, scrambling for rebounds.
With the advantage of height and arm span, Zhongyuan received the basketball on the head of Gonghe and slammed it into the basket.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Miyagawa slapped Nakahara in his hand and slapped his dunk off.
Falling to the ground, Miyagawa saw Nakahara smash the ball on the rebound, and raised his hand in relief to receive a foul. Nakahara had never shown his mid-range shooting ability before, so he gambled that the first-grader's free throws were a bitter hand.
Sure enough, Nakahara's two free throws didn't score a point. His first free throw was too heavy and he fell far off the rebound, while his second free throw was too light and he was thrown out of bounds with a three-and-three.
Round of Xiangbei.
Taiga and Imai passed back and forth just after halfway.
Kanda follows Imai to move. A three-point shot just now shows that Xiangbei's starting point guard has become hot and is no longer an object that can be ignored.
The people who joined forces with Hane to defend Taiga were replaced by Nakamura and Hirohashi, but the two of them also divided their minds on Maki and Yoshino.
Dahe's pass just now shows that he is not an offensive ghost who can only break through and score, but an all-round unsolvable trump card!
Dahe stops dribbling, bends his knees slightly, leans forward, holds the ball in both hands, and takes a step forward with his right foot.
Hane, Nakamura and Hirohashi are all nervous, is it a breakthrough, a pass or a shot?
Dahe has so many means that it is impossible to guess his next change.
Taiga's legs straightened and his feet off the ground as he lifted the ball above his head with both hands.
It's a shot!
All three of them jumped up and raised their hands to cover it!
However, Taiga changed his already formed action again, pressed down with both hands, and passed the basketball through Nakamura's crotch for the second time by hitting the ground and passing the ball like the previous time!
The person who catches the ball behind Nakamura's back is naturally Maki.
Before receiving the ball, Maki had already seen the situation on the court, and Imai was defended by Kanda on his side, so he stopped passing the ball and directly turned around and threw a half-volley.
Nakahara was guarding under the basket, before Imai shot three points at the bottom line, he was helpless, and now Maki wanted to shoot, he hurriedly gave up Miyagawa and flew up the block.
Under Suzuki's suggestion, Maki's attack range was extended to one step inside the three-point line, which is usually the territory of small forwards, but Maki can still maintain a fairly high shooting percentage here with the advantage of his height.
Because of his tall height and high shooting point, it is rare to encounter blocking, and the shooting arc of Maki is relatively flat, mainly playing boards, and it is not like outside players, which has a relatively high arc.
Nakahara's fingertips rubbed the basketball slightly, destroying Maki's shot, but in mid-air, he could only watch Miyagawa jump up behind him, and easily stuff the basketball that fell after the rebound into the basket.
With 37 seconds left, the score was 46-25!
Xiangbei leads by 21 points!
"We're calling back!" Nakamura returned to the half-time to pick up Hane, and he knew that if the half-time score was stretched beyond 20 points, I was afraid that the morale of the whole team would collapse.
Relying on Hirohashi and Kanda's best back and forth cover, Nakamura finally found an opportunity to make a shot, and he hit a two-point jumper in the face of Imai, who came over in rotation defense.
At 46-27, the score was back within 20 points.
20 seconds to go!
Nakamura didn't bother to celebrate, and shouted, "Hurry up and return to defense!" ”
At Nakamura's reminder, Kanda, Hirohashi and Nakahara all returned to their own half, with only Hane following closely behind Taiga.
The defense line under the sun was tight, and the basketball passed back and forth, went around in circles, and returned to Imai who ran to the left baseline.
Imai had the heart to shoot a three-pointer, but as soon as he got close to the three-point line, Kanda came out to defend him. Imai had to give up shooting and dribble out to look up for someone.
Taiga stood on the halfway line, with his back to the basket and stretched out his hand to ask Imai for the ball.
Imai passes the ball to Taiga's left hand.
Hane saw it clearly, moved a step to the left, and turned around to break through after receiving the ball with Taiga.
Sure enough, Dahe turned to the left.
Feather took a half step back, and just shifted his weight to the left, he heard the sound of a ball hitting the ground, only to find that there was no shadow of a basketball on the left!
Where is the ball?
Feather's head turned sharply to the right, and he looked down the open right arm of the river, and he caught a glimpse of orange out of the corner of his eye!
Hane's left foot slammed on the floor, the sole of his shoe squeaked against the ground, and he stopped his center of gravity and took a step to the right, spreading his hands and trying to make it difficult for Taiga to break to the right. To be honest, in the face of Taihe's amazing ball skills, he has lost the slightest confidence in successful defense.
However, Taiga's performance is still beyond Hane's imagination.
After receiving the ball from his left hand with his right hand, Dahe flipped his wrist and slapped it on the side of the basketball, and the basketball bounced slightly, crossed the top of the feather's head, and flew to the left.
Taiga himself continued to complete the turn to the left, and when facing the basket, he raised his hands up to catch the basketball.
Subsequently, Dahe borrowed the strength of his waist and right foot, jumped on one foot, and shot with three points!
This series of actions was done smoothly, not only the feather left and right, but also the other players under the sun, and no one reacted.
The players of the two teams off the court, the players of Oda Kiriri on the second floor, were quiet for a moment, and then the applause filled the entire basketball hall!
"It's amazing!" Suzuki exclaimed.
"It's so beautiful!" Momoi laughed and hugged Suzuki's hand and shook it, and shouted again, "Unbelievable!" ”
Suzuki was taken aback by her movements, praised her two words in a pandering manner, and pulled her arm out without a trace.
The girl didn't feel that the movements of the two were too close, so she threw himself on Suzuki's back and whispered excitedly in his ear: "This year, we should have a hope of reaching the finals, right?" ”
Suzuki only felt the back of his head sink into a softness, and he only felt his blood rush up, where could he still answer something.
Perhaps sensing that his movements were inappropriate, Momoi let go of Suzuki's head, jumped to the side and continued to cheer, but his voice was suddenly much thinner.
By the time Suzuki regained his ability to think, the first half was over and the two teams went into halftime.
