Chapter 17: Intra-Team Rivalry (Part II)

It is undeniable that this Xiandao Akira is indeed a good player, and his ball control skills are also very good, Ikegami did not rush forward to pound the ball, he has long ceased to regard Xiandao as an ordinary freshman. In the finals of the National Championship Competition, Ikegami's defensive level was indeed amazing, and he was called the best defensive player in the country.

Xiandao pretended to be relaxed, his body activated instantly, and the strong explosive power directly wiped over the unprepared Ryoji Ikegami, and rushed towards the inner line. At this time, Jun Yuzhu, who was defending outside the three-second zone, abandoned Naito and blocked under the basket. Xiandao rushed directly in front of Yu Zhuchun without slowing down, jumped up hard, grabbed the basketball with one hand, and looked as if he was going to make a violent dunk.

"It's too arrogant!" Yu Zhujun also jumped up with his hands raised high, and handed over to Inoue Toyoshi next to him to make the same move, wanting to stop the fairy slam dunk.

In mid-air, just as Yu Zhu's right hand was about to touch the basketball, Xiandao bowed his body, and the basketball in his right hand fell on his left hand instead, picking up the ball from Yu Zhuchun's armpit.

Syllable!

Yuzhu wanted to stop but couldn't stop, hitting Xiandao's right hand, and the basketball barely fell into the basket after a circle on the basket.

2:0 (red first, white last)

"Immortal Dao is so powerful!" Whether it was a senior or a first-year freshman on the field, such an idea couldn't help but come to their minds at this time. However, they were not discouraged, but were inexplicably excited, because Xiandao was a teammate of the Lingnan team!

Shikuichi Taoka, who was supervising on the sidelines, was obviously excited, and looked at Sendo as if he had seen a beautiful woman stripped naked. He was already completely sure that the ability of the Immortal Dao before was not a flash in the pan, but his true level.

"White team No. 8 fouls, red team No. 6 adds a free throw!" 2+1

After the initial shock, the staff acting as referees blew the whistle, with the senior team wearing white training uniforms and the junior teams wearing red training uniforms, and the numbers of the training uniforms of both teams are temporary, starting from number 4 to number 8 according to position.

Smack!

On the free throw line, Sendo slapped the basketball twice and aimed to shoot.

Brush!

The basketball hollow hit and brought up a burst of net flowers.

3:0

I convert the ball and send the ball out at the bottom line of the Noma Rural Station.

The ball is in the hands of Matsushita, the captain who plays point guard, and it is Tomoyuki Uekusa, the red team who is also a point guard, who defends Kenxu Matsushita. Uecao is 170 cm tall, and captain Matsushita is 168 cm tall.

Although the captain Matsushita is a little shorter, his speed is faster than that of Uekusa, who keeps a distance of two or three steps, cautiously staring at Matsushita who is dribbling.

Panasonic slowly controlled the ball through the half, looking for opportunities to pass the ball, and the other players kept running in and out.

The 45-degree angle on the right side of the three-second zone is the most preferred position for interior players to ask for the ball, and when they hold the ball with their backs, they have a wide field of vision, and it is easy to find an open pass after attracting the bag.

Panasonic made a false pass and hoisted the ball to Yuzhujun, who was standing at a 45-degree angle on the right side of the three-second zone.

My Amaterasu Okami felt like he was hitting a wall, and Uojujun almost suspected that it was a wall behind him that was defending him. Leaning on Naito, he squeezed back hard, not moving, squeezing again, still not moving.

At this moment, Naito felt like a fish in water.

Scientific studies have shown that human muscles also have memory, and he has an indescribable comfort when competing with Yuzhu Junyi. At first, he was a little nervous, but now his confidence has skyrocketed again, and it is easier than he imagined to resist the fish pillar, of course, this is not that the fish pillar is weak, but that he is too strong. On the rugby pitch, he often had to endure the full frontal impact of the opposing tackle, which was a low-lying hand-to-hand fight, and the back-to-back collision was pediatric in comparison.

Uojo Jun moved to the middle with the ball, and Naito immediately stuck to it, blocking the path. His reflexes are quick, he doesn't need to use his brain, and he is a conditioned reflex developed by playing rugby for a long time. It was too easy for him to keep up with the speed of the fish pillar.

Yuzhu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he was beaten a 2+1 by the newcomer Xiandao at the beginning, and now he was carried by the newcomer Naito in terms of strength and couldn't get into the basket. He changed his strategy, dribbled the ball to the left side slightly, Naito's center of gravity moved, and the fish pillar immediately turned in the opposite direction, Naito caught up and wanted to block, the fish pillar clinged to Naito, so that he couldn't jump, and took advantage of his height advantage to throw a one-handed shot and hit the board.

3：2

Seeing the ball go in, Yuzhu took a deep breath and slowly ran back with his big buttocks.

"Hey, it's okay, I'll see if I'll help you pay him back. Xiao Zheng Tai Xiandao came over and patted Naito, who was in a daze, and comforted.

Naito's mouth was pouted with an indifferent expression, he didn't use his special ability just now, he just wanted to see if he could prevent the fish pillar with his true ability. The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard, and now it seems that their defensive ability is still not at home.

The game restarted, and Uecao carefully dribbled the ball past half the court, and the first choice was to pass the ball to Sendo Akira. Sendo held the ball in one hand and waved to Fukuda Jizhao who was on the inside, signaling Fukuda to pull to the outside. This is exactly what Fukuda wants, originally he played like a small forward.

Looking at the immortal road on the pond alone, the captain Panasonic gave up the grass and immediately came over to wrap the immortal road with the pond.

Xiandao, who was controlling the ball, saw Matsushita Jianxu coming over to wrap up, and he was neither flustered nor immediately passed the ball. He was a young man with high ambition and arrogance, and the captain Matsushita Kenxu came to help defend him, which was in line with his temper.

Xiandao skillfully stepped down the dribble, taking advantage of the fact that Panasonic had just come over and had an unstable foothold, several feints in a row, so that Panasonic lost his center of gravity, and then made a move to change to the left.

Xiandao cat's body, suddenly accelerated, rushed out of the encirclement of the two, killed directly to the inner line, and jumped against the fish pillar again, and came to a violent buckle.

5：2

Yuzhu was angry and said to Captain Panasonic, who was about to receive the serve, "Captain, wait for the pass to me." Panasonic glanced at the fish pillar and nodded.

The senior team served, Matsushita Asahi Jian controlled the ball over the half court, and directly hoisted the ball into the inner line, and Yuzhu received the ball in the same position again, this time, he found that Naito was not so hard when he defended him. No matter what the player feints, he has to shoot at the end, and Naito is ready to block when he makes a shot.

In fact, as long as you stick to each other and don't get over, it will be better to raise your hand to form a disturbance. However, Naito wants to change his defensive style, and he has a general understanding of Yuzhu's current thoughts, which is often to shake it first, and then turn in the opposite direction, as long as he doesn't shake it at first, he can keep up.

Humiliated twice, Yuzhu is eager to play a tough offense with the goal of breaking under the basket and dunking. He first shook his back slightly to the right, then quickly turned to the baseline and went to the basket. This time the turn was easier, and he took the ball with one hand and took a step to dunk.

However, he didn't expect that this time it was Naito who took the initiative to get out of the way and quickly retreated to the basket. Seeing the fish pillar turn around, he started from the side, took a step and jumped high.

"Smack" a big hat,

Yuzhu didn't expect Naito to catch up and block his dunk, only half of his strength, and his right hand didn't take advantage of Naito's left hand, a strong attack, Yuzhu's body lost its balance, not only was the basketball shot down, but also sat on the ground in embarrassment.

Naito landed steadily, looking at his hands, it felt so cool!

Playing basketball requires a mind in addition to ball skills and body, especially for Naito, who is an interior defender, and a flexible mind.

Shigeru Taoka, who was sitting on the sidelines watching this scene, held his chin with one hand and made a contemplative gesture, which could stimulate his growth for the frustration of Yuzhu. Yuzhu is an important piece of the puzzle in Lingnan, and if the strength of Yuzhu can be enhanced, it will also be a big gain for Lingnan.

Waiting for the senior team to re-serve, Matsushita Xujian held the ball while stretching out a hand and making a gesture. Big forward Toyoyo Inoue immediately pulled out from the inside and made a blocking move for scoring guard Noma, and Fukuda Yoshizhao didn't know how to switch positions to make up for the defense.

When the man passed the ball, the scoring guard Noma received the ball and threw it, and he scored two points. Noma and small forward Ogata Daiyu sitting off the court are the two top scorers on the perimeter of Lingnan.

5：4

"Cast beautifully!" Captain Matsushita Kenxu came over and stretched out his hand to pat Noma Countryside back.

"The captain passed well. Noma gave the captain a thumbs up.

The game continued. The red team still attacked with the ball by Xiandao, and Matsushita Xujian and Ikegami Ryoji bent down slightly, looking at Xiandao who was one step away.

Who knows, Xiandao jumped up straight on the three-point line, and by the time Panasonic Xujian reacted, the basketball had already shot.

The score is 7:4

"What a quick shot!" This is what other people think, it is really Xiandao's shot is too fast, so fast that there is no time to aim at all, but just like that, the ball is hollow into the net.

The game was quite exciting, the two sides went back and forth, and the pace was fast. The red team's offense mainly relied on Xiandao Akira to score alone, and when the ball was in his hands, there was no reason to pass it out. The white team's offense is captain Kenxu Matsushita, divided Noma Township, Omae Toyoyo Omae and Yuzhu four-person cooperation, and the misplaced main Fukuda Yoshizhao scored this point.

Towards the end of the first half of the game, Naito was playing more and more confidently, his speed and agility, and it was difficult for Yuzhu to use his poor dribbling skills to get rid of and get easy shots, and many shots missed. Yuzhu's offense has not improved, but he is getting better and better at defense. Naito felt extraordinarily refreshed.

The first half of twenty minutes was quickly over. The score was tied at 35:32, and the red team temporarily led by 3 points.

After a 10-minute break in the middle, the two sides were ready to make substitutions before the start of the second half, and the red team replaced Fukuda Yoshio, who had a poor performance in the first half and became a defensive leak (Fukuda cried urgently, how did he behave without attacking the ball?, and defense is not his specialty. Then the 175-centimeter-tall point guard Tsukasa Karaki replaced Hiroaki Koshimi.

In addition to the fish pillar, the white team replaced Toyoyo Inoue with big forward 'Gate' Musashi, small forward Kaiyu Ogata replaced Ryoji Ikegami, scoring guard Hikaru Kondo replaced Noma Township, and organized guard Hiroshi Nohara replaced captain Matsushita.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and with the referee's whistle, the game officially began!

As soon as the opening game, the white team was arranged by Shigeichi Taoka, and the three of Ogata, Hikaru Kondo, and Hiroshi Nohara gave up the players they wanted to defend and implemented a three-person trap on Sendo, who was attacking with the ball.

Ooka's purpose is very clear, that is, to inspect the main starting lineup of the prefectural tournament in more than a month. Among the main forces that have been set in their hearts, in addition to Matsushita Kenxu and Noma Village, Naito, Sendo, and Yuzhu all need to be trained well through the competition. Xiandao, in particular, let three veteran players wrap him up from the second half, and these three defenders are at least better than yesterday's three newcomers.

Under the bag of the three of them, the performance of the immortal path is still so eye-catching, and the three of them can't restrict the immortal dao well. Defensively, there is Naito on the inside, and it is difficult for the fish pillar to play. Naito is strong, and that's the most important point of defending the interior.

In addition to his strength, Naito's explosiveness is also strong, fast, and his bounce is amazing. Yuzhu, who is taller than Naito, also repeatedly lost to him when grabbing rebounds. There is always a saying on the basketball court: if you control the rebound, you control the whole court.

After the two main players were replaced, the white team's attacking fish pillar on the inside line was suppressed by Naito, and the small forward Ogata Daiyu on the outside was prevented by the opposite Sendo again. The offense can't be opened, and the defensive three-person package can't limit the fairy road. The game developed in a one-sided situation, and as the referee's whistle sounded, a first-year rookie against a senior veteran came to an end.

First-year rookies won 65-40. The brightest thing in the field was the genius boy Akira Sendo, followed by Tetsuya Naito, who was defending on the inside. Naito's almost clean sheet throughout the game showed Naito's dominance under the basket.

Competitions are always the best way to test your strength.

Shigeichi Taoka was very satisfied with the game process, and directly set Lingnan's starting lineup as: Matsushita Kenxu, Noma Xiang, Sendo Akira, Naito Tetsuya, and Uozhu Jun. The following month will see a special training session focusing on the five of them.

Under the instructions of Coach Taoka, team manager Sakura Hoshino led the staff to assemble the team, and all the players stood in three rows according to their grades. After the players were assembled, Coach Tian Gang glanced at every player present one by one, his eyes flashing with inexplicable excitement.

"Good, it was a good intra-team game today. Let me see your performance and strength. In today's game, some of you were very good and some of you were out of shape. If you perform well, you can't be proud, you have to continue to work hard, and if you don't perform well, don't be discouraged, and you should train harder to strive for better performance in future competitions. ”

"Okay, due to some new members who have recently joined, the team uniform number is not yet available, and now I will re-announce the number: No. 4 Matsushita Kenxu, No. 5 Inoue Toyoyo, No. 6 Chu Kata Daiyu, No. 7 Nomako, No. 8 Daimon Musashi, No. 9 Uosumi Jun, No. 10 Ikegami Ryoji, No. 11 Nohara Hiroshi, No. 12 Hikaru Kondo, No. 13 Akira Sendo, No. 14 Tetsuya Naito, No. 15 Hiroaki Off-road. The rest of the players who do not have a number will be used as alternate players. ”

"Hoshino, the number has been announced, so I'm going to ask you to print the number on the team uniform for the official competition in the next few days. Ooka turned around and handed over the list of jersey numbers, standing behind him in the hands of manager Sakura Hoshino. Then he raised his hand and looked at his watch.

"That's all for today's club activities, remember to come on time tomorrow. Starting tomorrow, special training will be arranged for each player's own situation. Disbanded"
