Chapter 273: No Ball? Grab it yourself!
"I.... Join the BLU team! ”
'They are behind and I think they need my help even more.'
"And.... I think playing directly against Stephen Jackson, the starting small forward, will make it easier for you to make a choice! ”
When Takemichi Jinguji made the decision to join the blue team, Coach Steve Smith immediately took Takemichi Jinguji to the side of the court, the rest area of the blue team, and then took advantage of a foul to stop the ball and called a short timeout.
Jinguji Takemichi had already changed into a sportswear after tidying up the dormitory before, but it was long pants and long sleeves, although it was loose on his body, but when he stood with the players of the blue team of Oak Hill Academy, he looked out of place.
"Coach!"
The players who came off the field greeted Coach Steve Smith, and some of the players of the white team did not go back to their rest area to rest, and gathered around Coach Le Steve Smith like the players of the blue team.
"Nothing else."
"This kid, join the training match, George, you take a break."
"Wu, you will replace George and join the blue team as a small forward."
"Take a minute off, and the game will go on after a minute!"
Coach Steve Smith waved to a white guy on the blue team and immediately announced. At the same time, he also secretly pushed Martial Dao's back and pushed Martial Dao in front of everyone. And his words also made the martial arts of Jinguji Temple instantly become the focus of everyone.
"Yellow people? Small forward? George, who was named to take a break, raised his eyes and looked at Jinguji Martial Arts, although Jinguji Martial Arts was fair-skinned, but the black hair and black eyes still marked his Asian identity.
George muttered to himself that he really didn't know when his team would bring in yellow players.
"Hehe, hello everyone, my name is Wu Dao, I hope you will take care of it."
Martial Dao, who was standing in the center of the crowd, introduced himself with a smile and everyone. He is handsome in his own right, and it is easy to get the favor of his teammates by greeting them with a gentle smile on his face, at least.... That's what Martial Arts himself imagined.
But in fact, Wu Dao's self-righteous smile did not make these team members feel good, on the contrary, a group of people looked at Wu Dao up and down like monkeys, and that undisguised scrutiny made Wu Dao frown slightly.
"Since the coach said so, then you can play with us."
"You don't have to do anything, just run along, and then help grab the rebound!"
At this time, a big black man from the blue team walked out of the queue and said towards Martial Arts. Wu Dao had some impressions of this person, and just when he and Coach Steve Smith entered the field, he happened to see this man dunk his hands violently.
Looking at the way the other players look at him, his status in the team should not be low.
"Carl, I'll leave this kid to you, take him with you." Sure enough, Coach Steve Smith saw Carl Lewis walk out of the queue and immediately instructed. Listening to the tone of the two chatting, Wu Dao knew that his guess should be the same.
After the pause, Martial Arts, who was wearing long sleeves and long pants, followed the people of the blue team into the stadium, and the entrance of Jinguji Martial Arts instantly attracted the "cheers" of the audience.
The cheers here, perhaps, would be more appropriate to replace them with boos. Even Wu Dao himself didn't expect that he had just followed the players into the court when he ushered in such a big movement.
“......”
"The environment is worse than I expected....."
Wu Dao walked into the court, listening to the boos of the audience, and his heart sank slightly. But soon, Wu Dao adjusted his mentality, and the boos of a hundred and ten people were just a small scene, and he had experienced a bigger wave of boos than this.
Once the players were on the court, Stephen Jackson stepped to the free-throw line and executed the free throw, and with the soft sound of a net, the players on the sidelines flipped the scoreboard.
2+1, the foul on the blue team's side just now did not prevent Stephen Jackson from scoring, but instead sent the opponent to the free throw line and let the opponent score three points.
"Come on! Pass me the ball well and chase the score back! ”
The big black man Carl Lewis shouted, and then quickly ran towards the front. Wu Dao glanced at the basket and saw that a player served and received the ball, so he did not stay in the backcourt, but ran towards the frontcourt.
After entering the frontcourt, Carl Lewis had a clear goal and squeezed directly to the inside, while Takeshi also followed the habit of playing before, and after entering the frontcourt, he fell to a 45° position outside the three-point line, waiting for the player with the ball to enter.
"Hey!"
"Who's that, go in!"
However, not long after the martial arts side was settled, the point guard of the blue team crossed the center line with the ball, and just after crossing the middle line, he saw the martial arts standing outside the three-point line, and immediately shouted and greeted, shouting, and at the same time towards the martial arts of Jinguji Temple, waving, signaling the martial arts to cut into the inner line.
】
“......”
Hearing this, Wu Dao glanced at the basket, observed the position of his team, and found that Carl Lewis in the team was already standing near the paint area, and another big black man he didn't know was also running towards the basket, and there were two people in the white team guarding the basket.
Unless the players of their own team are ready to shoot long, if they don't plan to do so, the basket is so crowded, it is not suitable for players to break through the offense.
"Hey! Can't you hear it? Let's go inside! ”
The point guard of the blue team, a white guy who was about 185cm tall, raised his voice and shouted at Takedo as he approached the top of the arc with the ball.
Hearing the same words again, Wu Dao's eyelids jumped, and he trotted through and cut in. The white team used a joint defense, and when they saw Takedo trying to enter the paint area, they approached some little black brother and pasted it, but Takedo had no idea of invading the paint area, and ran through the infield to the middle distance at the other end of the court.
And at this moment, the white guy with the ball actually broke through by himself and crossed the three-point line in an instant, but at the moment he started, the white team's joint defense quickly moved, and the two players standing near the free throw line quickly wrapped up towards the white guy.
An empty space was immediately formed on the side of the martial arts, and at the same time, a member of the blue team fell outside the bottom corner of the three-point line opposite the martial arts, which was also empty.
"Chance!" Wu Dao's eyes lit up when he saw this scene, and he immediately shouted:
"Pass!" However, as soon as Takemichi shouted, the white guy who was caught in the bag quickly passed the ball, but the object of his pass was not Jinguji Takemichi who was vacant in the middle distance, but another player in the empty corner of the other side.
The boy of the blue team standing in the bottom corner is a big black brother who is nearly two meters tall.
Wu Dao saw his teammates pass the ball, but he didn't give him the first time Tong Kong shrunk, and then reacted quickly and rushed directly towards the inside line. This kind of vacant position without the ball has not been encountered by Martial Arts for a long time, and he played in Kanagawa before, how could anyone ignore his vacant position and not give him the ball?
And the teammate who received the ball in the bottom corner made a three-point shot directly in the open position.
It was obviously a good opportunity to open the space, but Takedo observed that his teammate's action looked quite stiff, and he didn't have that soft feeling at all.
"This guy is not a shooter..... Wu Dao instantly judged that the black guy in the bottom corner was not that kind of shooter character, and his running pace slowed down instantly, and he began to gather momentum, ready to rush to grab the rebound.
"Huh!"
But to Wu Dao's surprise, although the shooting posture of a teammate in the bottom corner was not smooth, the basketball thrown fell into the net accurately, making a crisp sound.
This made Wu Dao, who was about to grab the board, directly stunned, and then shook his head with a smile and quickly returned to the defense.
This goal was really a bit unexpected by Wu Dao, such a stiff shooting action was able to score, Wu Dao had to sigh at the "strength" of his teammate.
After the blue team scored, they began to quickly return to defense, and the teenager who scored the goal seemed quite happy for a while, and from his conversations with other players, Takeshi learned that this was his first goal in today's game, and that guy was originally playing power forward.....
"The ball is not even better than a power forward standing outside the three-point line....."
"That kid, is it because you're afraid that I'll be caught in the bag and won't give the ball, or is it because you don't trust me not to give the ball?"
"I thought that when I got on the field, I would have the ball and a chance to perform, but it seems that I thought it was too simple."
"You're on your own...."
Wu Dao carefully recalled the details of his point guard's pass when he returned to defense, and had a guess in his heart. Looking at the white team with the ball across the half court, eyes fell on Stephen Jackson.
As Stephen Jackson approached the three-point line, Takeshi stepped out of the mid-range defensive position and walked towards Stephen Jackson.
"Hey! Who's that! ”
"We're playing joint defense, what are you going to do?"
"Get back to your defensive position!"
However, Martial Dao's side was just about to make a move, but a loud shout sounded from behind Martial Dao, and that commanding tone made Martial Dao of Jinguji Temple couldn't help frowning, tilting his head slightly, and Martial Dao swept towards his paint area with his afterglow.
There were two people standing under the basket, each on either side of the basket, and the other two players all defended near the three-point line, one at the top of the arc and one in the middle range. If you want to talk about joint defense, the position where Martial Arts is now standing can just echo with the other team members, forming 32 joint defense.
Seeing the ball carrier at the top of the arc, Wu Dao stopped, did not step forward again, and went to Stephen Jackson's body, he originally planned to target Stephen Jackson, but since the team is playing a joint defense system, then Wu Dao does not mind integrating the team's defensive system.
The white guy at the top of the arc saw that Wu Dao didn't step forward again, and his attention returned to the opponent holding the ball, his opponent was a black brother who was the same height as him, and when the white guy spoke, he didn't attack, and when he saw that the other party's attention was back, he directly began to taunt:
"Do you have time to take care of others?"
"It's also my kindness that I didn't take this opportunity to break through you, I think you should pay more attention to yourself."
While speaking, the black brother holding the ball dribbled the rhythm changed suddenly, and after continuous crotch, the black brother suddenly started to break through to the right, smoothly involving the white brother's defense, but after two steps, it was a sharp stop and pulled, and after the opponent's center of gravity, the ball was thrown with his left hand, and the basketball smashed directly under the white brother's crotch, and then the black brother's was also quickly past the opponent, and at the same time receiving the ball, he rushed towards the basket.
The crowd cheered as they watched the smooth and fancy dribbling action, and when the white guy was crossed by his crotch, there were mocking boos on the sidelines.
The black man who broke through with the ball was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the basket, but at this time, the players of the blue team guarding the basket were scattered, and they had no intention of blocking the opponent at all.
"See, Lily made the right choice!"
"Idiot, eat fart behind me!"
The black guy who hit the inside line shouted while attacking the basket, two steps to the free throw line, the black guy closed the ball, grabbed the ball with one hand and raised it above his head, and actually wanted to slam the dunk with his height of more than 180cm.
The two players guarding the basket of the blue team saw that the opponent wanted to dunk not only did not come forward, but deliberately pushed away and gave up the position under the basket.
After Carl Lewis got out of the way, he subconsciously glanced at the black brother who was vacating in the air, but this glance made him see an unfamiliar figure, which was actually closely following behind his buddy.
"Benny, back!"
As the center of the blue team on the side of Jinguji Martial Arts, Carl Lewis actually reminded Benny Russell of the white team loudly at this moment.
"Humph!"
However, Carl Lewis's reminder was a little late.
Benny Russell, who was impacting the basket, had already glided close to the basket, and there was no way to change any movement in the air, and at this moment, a cold snort exploded in his ears.
Don't look at Benny Russell's height is only in his early 180cm, but his bounce is really not covered, and his right arm that grabs the ball at this time has exceeded the basket by nearly 40cm.
Just as he was about to pour the ball into the basket, the surrounding spectators covered their mouths and let out exclamations. Benny Russell didn't know why at first, but in the next second, a black shadow flashed in front of his face, and a big hand actually appeared on top of his head at some point, stretched out from behind him, and actually hooked the basketball with a backhand.
In the next second, a huge force came from his arm, and Benny Russell's upward trend came to an abrupt halt, his body fell sharply, and the basketball was already out of his hand.
I don't know when, Jinguji Martial Arts actually appeared behind Benny Russell, jumping almost at the same time as the other party, but the jump height was a head higher than the other party. Wu Dao's hand also directly hooked the basketball mercilessly, forcibly stopped the opponent's dunk, and hooked the ball in his hand.
In mid-air, Benny Russell's body lost its balance under the influence of the power of Martial Dao, and after landing, he was unsteady on his feet and fell directly to the floor.
And not long after he fell to the ground, Jinguji Martial Arts also fell back to the ground, holding the ball in his right hand and holding it around his waist, looking down at Benny Russell on the ground with an expressionless face, his eyes were full of desert.....
"This team ..... Why does it give me a strange feeling? ”
"I see, I've been involved in something strange?"
Although Wu Dao had a cold expression on his face, in his heart, he was guilty of dripping and blocking, just to grab the ball for himself, but listening to the shouts of this guy who was covered by him to the ground, this person seems to have some grievances with the white point guard of his own team?
Even, the two insiders in the team with himself and the white guy seem to be helping this guy lying on the ground? Mole character!
