Although Hikaru Haneda couldn't hear Kenji Mizuno talking to Hiroshi Kobayashi, his eyes quickly told his brain that the center on his team was indeed stronger than the opposite one.

The center of the blue team, Yutaka Seto, was a little annoyed, as the only third-year player on the field, he was forced to score a goal by his second-year junior Shigeki Hirokawa, which made his face a little unbearable.

Stuck behind Shigeki Hirokawa, Yutaka Seto raised his hand to signal Genji Kataoka to give the ball. I'm going to hit it back myself.

Yutaka Seto's idea is simple, but in practice, it is a bit difficult.

After getting the ball, no matter how hard Yutaka Seto tried, Shigeki Hirokawa behind him was like a real tree, and his feet seemed to be rooted and unmoving.

How so? It's okay in winter, but this guy Maoshu is making too fast progress! Surprised by Shigeki Hirokawa's progress, Yutaka Seto used his best strength, but he still couldn't shake Shigeki Hirokawa behind him.

Seeing that three seconds were fleeting, Yutaka Seto, who was reluctant to pass the ball, had no time to make feints, so he could only turn around and reluctantly shoot.

Shigeki Hirokawa silently counted the time in his heart, figured out the opponent's psychology, and jumped almost at the same time as Yutaka Seto.

"Hah!"

Shigeki Hirokawa in the air let out a loud shout, and the longest three fingers touched the basketball head-on, and the orange basketball bounced upwards under the action of the relative force.

After landing, Shigeki Hirokawa immediately jumped up again and took the basketball that had escaped from the trajectory into his arms.

Hiroshi Kobayashi shouted excitedly on the sidelines: "Good shot! ”

The corners of Kenji Mizuno's mouth also hung an arc that opened upward, recalling that he still ran to find himself practicing during the winter holidays: exhausted countless times, and stubbornly got up, although in the position of the center, Shigeki's height is indeed not very good, but in terms of the strength you have in your body, you are no worse than any center in Kanagawa, Shigeki Hirokawa!

Kenji Mizuno sighed in his heart: Shigeki, the sweat of this winter has not flowed in vain.

To everyone's surprise, Shigeki Hirokawa did not pass the ball to the point guard of the red team, Kazuhiko Yamamoto, after getting the ball.

Hikaru Haneda felt the power of the basketball on his fingers after hitting the ground again and again, and secretly sighed in his heart that he had miscalculated, but at the same time he was a little lucky.

The miscalculation was that Hikaru Haneda did not anticipate the strength of his center, just as he had many advantages when he played Fujima alone. Judging from the performance just now, our side also has a clear advantage in the position of center forward. In this way, with the same advantage, teammates will definitely be more willing to pass to the familiar center when it comes to passing options. Instead of passing to himself who was marked by Fuji Zhen and had the possibility of being broken.

Thankfully, Hikaru Haneda was the first to react from Shigeki Hirokawa's pass.

Why did Shigeki Hirokawa pass the ball to himself in the first place? Of course, Hikaru Haneda would not think that it was the result of his overlordship.

Shigeki Hirokawa is willing to pass the ball to himself, not to Kazuhiko Yamamoto, who is a point guard, and Hikaru Haneda's guess is: Although he does not know the specific situation of Shigeki Hirokawa, Shigeki Hirokawa must stand firm in order to exert his full strength.

If you play a fast attack like Kazuhiko Yamamoto did when he controlled the ball before, as the slowest person on the court, Shigeki Hirokawa will undoubtedly suffer the most. Almost every time it just arrived, it was already over before he could stand up and catch his breath, and the offensive and defensive transitions were too fast, and the center was the one who couldn't afford to hurt.

As a member of Xiangyang, no one lacks that physical strength, but no one wants to play basketball just running back and forth.

Shigeki Hirokawa is the same, he gave up his vacation and trained hard in the winter. As a result, under the fast attack rhythm of the team, instead of showing the results of special training, it is not as good as before, which makes it uncomfortable for anyone.

It wasn't until Haneda forcibly changed the rhythm on the court that Shigeki Hirokawa was a rare player to stand firm. After adjusting his condition, in the center position where he eats the most physical fitness, Shigeki Hirokawa finally defeated his predecessors who had been pressing above him at both offensive and defensive ends.

Shigeki Hirokawa, who tasted the sweetness, was naturally reluctant to pass the ball to Kazuhiko Yamamoto.

After Haneda Hikaru figured it out, he was very happy, since he had the support of the center, what were he afraid of without his teammates passing?

How many balls can a point guard pass to himself in a game?

But the center is different, a center that needs to lead himself with a slow pace. It can be said that as long as Shigeki Hirokawa grabs the rebound, he has hope to get a piece of the pie.

Considering the shooting percentage in high school basketball, Hikaru Haneda knew that he didn't need to worry about the ball anymore. All that's left is how to score the ball more efficiently.

Under Kenji Fujima's surprised gaze, Hikaru Haneda stopped dribbling outside the three-point line while his body jumped up and the basketball came out of his hand.

Let me see if it's really what I think. While Hikaru Haneda threw the basketball, he was also expecting Shigeki Hirokawa's reaction.

Nation!

The basketball pops off after hitting the hoop once.

"Hah!"

After Hikaru Haneda deliberately slowed down the pace, Shigeki Hirokawa, who had stood in a good position early, took the rebound again.

Shigeki Hirokawa stood up to Yutaka Seto's defense, turned around and shot after dribbling, and the basketball hit the board into the frame.

Kenji Mizuno finally understood: I see, due to the weight gain, Shigeki has been a little unable to keep up with the rhythm of the team, and only by standing firm in the positional battle can Shigeki's full strength be brought into play.

But while reading Shigeki's changes, Mizuno was even more surprised by Hikaru Haneda's ability to read the court: keenly aware of the difficulties he faced, good at using his own strengths, designing a game-changing style of play, and finding the rhythm that he was most comfortable with. Moreover, without any communication, I was the first to discover the cause of Shigeki's change and react to it.

Hikaru Haneda, I've seen your basketball IQ.

Kenji Mizuno glanced at the timer in his hand, there were still five minutes. Haneda, how are you going to show your basketball skills? I'll see.

Offensive and defensive transitions.

Although the players of the blue team didn't know why Shigeki Hirokawa had suddenly become stronger, they still knew that they couldn't let Shigeki Hirokawa play like this.

Aggro! This is the knee-jerk response of the blue team, and it is also the most correct choice.

With a couple of long passes, the basketball reached the front line before Shigeki Hirokawa could return to defense.

Hikaru Haneda did not continue to defend Fujima, and when he saw the blue team make a long pass to the ball, Hikaru Haneda gave up defending against Kenji Fujima.

As the second tallest member of the red team, Hikaru Haneda temporarily took the position of the center forward when the center did not return to the defense in time, standing in the penalty area with his hands outstretched, waiting for the battle.

Looking at Hikaru Haneda's movements, Hiroshi Kobayashi had an indescribable feeling in his heart. I originally thought that Hikaru Haneda was a guy with a somewhat arrogant personality because of his outstanding basketball skills. But judging from Hikaru Haneda's performance on the court at this time, this guy is surprisingly reliable!

This is not like the original book of Lishawabei, who uses strong basketball skills to make teammates feel reliable. It's a reassuring thing that he will be there when needed.

People are so strange sometimes, if Haneda Hikaru continues to stare at Fujima and does not go to the inside line, and the opponent scores easily because of the emptiness of the inside line, no one can accuse Haneda Hikaru of anything, but there will always be some knots in the heart.

But when Hikaru Haneda gives up on his defenders and does the work that his teammates didn't have to do in time, his teammates will trust Haneda even more even if he is scored in the end.

However, it was precisely because of Hikaru Haneda's change of position, given the rumored strength of Hikaru Haneda, that the blue team finally chose to shoot instead of go to the basket.

The advantage of fast attack is that with the advantage of speed, there are more people and fewer people in the area. But the disadvantage is also obvious, due to the urgency of time, the shooting percentage in the fast-break state is lower than normal.

The basketball spun around the edge of the rim at breakneck speed, then flew out and was finally picked up by Hikaru Haneda.

However, as soon as Hikaru Haneda, who grabbed the rebound, landed, before he could protect the ball, Hikaru Haneda felt an inexplicable force coming from the bottom of the basketball.

I'm rubbing, where did this guy get so much energy!

Although he was unprepared, Haneda was surprised by Fujima's timing and the strength of the opponent when he stole the ball.

Hikaru Haneda watched Kenji Fujima poke the ball out of his hand, and Kenji Fujima, who got the ball, was not greedy for credit, and immediately handed the ball to Yutaka Seto behind Haneda, and at the same time jammed Hikaru Haneda with his body.

Yutaka Seto didn't disappoint either, as he jumped up to score the ball before Shigeki Hirokawa could get back to the ball.

Well? It's kind of interesting! Hikaru Haneda thought about countermeasures.
