Chapter 358: You're Playing Well!
During the pause, Coach Anzai's instructions to Takemichi and Mitsui Shou were not to find a way to win the game, but to let Jinguji Takemichi and Mitsui Shou properly release water.
This is what Martial Arts of Jinguji Temple did not expect at the beginning, Martial Arts originally wanted to fight quickly, quickly solve the Green Wind High School, and after occupying an absolute advantage, he would have a good rest and rest. He and Mike Okita have also faced each other a few times, and they also have a clear understanding of the strength of the other party.
In Takemi's opinion, Mike Okita has no way to be his opponent at all, and the gap between the two is obvious.
It's just that Coach Anzai really doesn't want to let go of such a good opportunity, although Mike Okita is not as good as Jinguji Martial Arts, but no matter what, he can be regarded as a four-star high school student in the United States. The opponent who acts as a martial artist may indeed be a little tenderer, but as the opponent of Mitsui Shou and Rukawa Kaede, it is just right.
For the growth of a player, it is obviously not enough to practice on his own, and excellent opponents are also indispensable things on the road of player growth.
A good competitive environment is very conducive to the development of players.
China's table tennis can be so strong, not only because of the relationship between system construction, nor because in this project, the yellow race really has an advantage over other races. It's just because the growth environment of the players is extremely cool, and every player who comes out of the game has won countless talented opponents before he can successfully rise to the top.
The same is true for basketball in the United States.
Countless talented players are able to stand out after fierce competition.
Coach Anzai hopes that Kaede Rukawa and Totoshi Mitsui will be able to play against more strong players, but in Kanagawa's current high school basketball environment, strong opponents are hard to come by. Mike Okita and his Green Wind High School are a rare opponent!
"Since the coach said so, then I'll change the defense with the junior first."
"Let the junior feel the strength of the 'star player' first."
Wu Dao listened to Coach Anxi's words, and also nodded, and immediately agreed. To be honest, Takedo doesn't have much interest in Mike Okita right now.
However, when Mitsui Shou heard this, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, give such an opportunity to that kid Rukawa Kaede." ”
"I've trained in the U.S. for a while and I know exactly what it's like to be a player of that calibre."
"Although I didn't fight Mike Okita directly, I think he and I should just blow each other up."
】
"He's better physically, he's better than me in jumping, and once he rushes inside, I can't stop him."
"But again, if I want to attack, he won't be able to stop me."
"Compared to me, this opponent is more suitable for Rukawa Kaede."
"Martial arts and I, just escort Rukawa Kaede on the field!"
Mitsui Shou said, looking back at Rukawa Kaede, who was standing and resting with his hands on his hips at this time, smiling.
Mitsui Shou actually has some words in his heart that he hasn't said, that is, his current grade! Compared with the first-grade Rukawa Kaede, he, a third-grade senior, can already be regarded as an old man in Xiangbei.
After this year, Mitsui Shou will go on to enter university, and at the same time, Mitsui Shou actually plans to go to the outside world to have a look, his family is actually already giving him contact with American schools, and through some economic means, Mitsui Shou has actually received some promises from American universities and colleges. It can be said that Mitsui Shou has half a foot in the American college basketball world.
After he leaves, the future of Xiangbei still depends on first-year players like Rukawa Kaede.
The growth of Liuchuan maple is very important for Xiangbei!
"What's so modest about this kind of thing?!"
"The competition time is still very long, Rukawa Kaede will try the water first, and you will go on it when it's almost over."
"The other party is not just fighting for a few minutes."
Jinguji Martial Arts didn't know what Mitsui Shou was thinking, and he couldn't figure out what there was to worry about this kind of thing, so he patted Mitsui Shou on the back and said immediately.
And just as the two were talking, a minute of pause passed quietly.
As the referee's whistle sounded, the players from Xiangbei High School and Green Wind High School also returned to the court.
I don't know what tricks Coach Green Wind gave to these players, and the Green Wind players who returned to the stadium seem to have regained their self-confidence, and the previous team conflicts, after the pause, seem to have been completely eliminated.
Seeing the expressions of these Green Wind team members, Wu Dao touched his chin and suddenly laughed.
"It's okay, if you give up like this, this game really won't be interesting!"
"Hey, Rukawa Kaede, I'll change guards with you, that yellow hair, I'll leave it to you!"
The people in Xiangbei who returned to the court were in their own half of the court, and before the pause, they Xiangbei had just scored an attack, and while Green Wind High School was organizing an attack, Wu Dao immediately shouted at Rukawa Feng.
Rukawa Kaede, who was named up, turned his head to look at Jinguji Martial Arts with an unclear expression.
Although he really wanted to play against Mike Okita, Rukawa Kaede could also see that Mike Okita was obviously going to Jinguji Martial Arts. The battle between the ace of the team and the ace of the team, how could Martial Arts suddenly let him go?!
Could it be that it can't be....
Just when Rukawa Kaede was thinking, Takeshi had already looked at the direction in which Tsurumi Keiji was going, and moved in advance in that direction. Mike Okita, who entered the front court, was not marked.
Rukawa Kaede realized this, immediately appropriated his footsteps, and when Mike Okita was about to approach the three-point line, he came to Mike Okita and kept an eye on Mike Okita.
"Huh?!"
"Young man, what are you doing here?! I'm not looking for you, get out of the way! ”
Mike Okita saw Rukawa Kaede standing in front of him, and immediately frowned, turned his head to look at the Jinguji Martial Arts in the distance, and said with some unhappiness.
When Rukawa Kaede heard this, he didn't speak, but he also turned his head to glance at Jinguji Martial Dao, and happened to see Jinguji Martial Dao making a "" gesture of encouragement towards him. Then he also turned around and replied:
"I'll deal with you enough."
Rukawa Kaede's words didn't anger Mike Okita, he just glanced at the Divine Palace Temple Martial Arts from a distance, and then his eyes fell on Rukawa Kaede's body and took a deep look at Rukawa Kaede.
At the same time, Seiji Tsurumi approached the top of the arc with the ball, and Mitsui Shou of the defending side did not press up, but stood in the three-point line at the top of the arc, stretched out his arms at will, and put on a defensive posture.
It's just that his defensive posture is really full of flaws!
However, Seiji Tsurumi, who is opposite Mitsui, is clearly not the kind of player who can catch the opponent's flaws and break through. This point guard of Green Wind is really a pure "point guard".
Mitsui Shou opened the gap, but Seiji Tsurumi passed the ball directly to Mike Okita.
The latter took the ball, straightened his waist slightly, and raised the ball above his head, while Rukawa Kaede in front of him had also sunk his center of gravity, ready to deal with Mike Okita's breakthrough. Looking at Rukawa Kaede's defensive posture, Mike Okita didn't have any underestimating mentality.
While stepping on his left front with his right foot, the basketball held high also received from his waist. His action immediately aroused the vigilance of Rukawa Kaede, and just as Rukawa Kaede adjusted his defensive position, Mike Okita suddenly closed his foot, dropped the ball on his right side, and made a posture of rushing to the right.
Rukawa Kaede hurriedly adjusted his position, however, at this time, Mike Okita directly changed direction in front of his body, and in the blink of an eye, he directly passed by Rukawa Kaede's side and quickly rushed towards the inner line.
"Ahh Stinky fox! Don't let him go so easily! ”
Sakuragi Hanamichi under the basket immediately shouted when he saw this, but he didn't mean to let Mike Okita break through, and quickly made up for Mike Okita.
"Hmm, what a strong momentum!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi who rushed towards him had a hideous face, Mike Okita looked at the location of the martial arts of Jinguji Temple with his spare eyes, and saw that the martial arts were far away, so he also relaxed, smiled and praised, made a sharp stop, and threw his hand directly.
"Don't think!
! ”
Sakuragi Hanamichi shouted violently, and flew up directly, and at the moment of jumping, Sakuragi Hanamichi's calf muscles were completely tensed, and the bounce was exerted to the maximum.
A large hand, covering the sky and the sun, covered Mike Okita.
"It's so high!" Mike Okita, who had a relaxed face, was immediately startled when he saw the darkness in front of him.
When he broke through, Sakuragi Hanamichi was obviously far away, he felt that the other party should not be able to keep up with him, and the opponent not only exceeded Mike Okita's expectations, but the other party's bounce also surprised him.
Rao is such a well-informed "four-star high school student" who is also surprised by the bouncing of Sakuragi Hanamichi at this moment!
In a moment of hesitation, Mike Okita, who was still raising the ball to shoot a second ago, decisively gave up the projection under the pounce of Sakuragi Hanamichi, grabbed the ball with both hands and led it downward, and directly passed the ball from Sakuragi's side to the inside.
It can only be said that he is worthy of being a genius boy who can make a name for himself in a place like the United States, and his ability to adapt at a critical moment makes Jinguji Martial Arts can't help but marvel.
"Smack!" The basketball fell into the hands of Tetsuya Naito, and after Naito, who was in the vacant position, blew up the ball, he turned around and was about to crack the basket.
And Nango Junichiro, who was not far in front of him, had already reacted, jumping almost at the same time, pressing his hands on the basketball.
However....
"Roar!"
With Naito's loud shout, Nango Kuichiro's body was directly bounced away by the opponent when he was in the air, and the next second, there was a loud bang at the basket, and Naito also directly dunked the ball into the basket.
Break through the defense's violent dunk head-on.
The huge impact force made Nango Koichiro stand unsteadily when he landed, and fell directly to the ground, facing Naito Tetsuya, Nango Koichiro seemed to be back to the time when he faced Mori Shigehiro before.
The terrifying power of the other party made him feel a strong sense of powerlessness.
Green Wind High School has been suppressed from the beginning to the present, and finally, with the violent deduction of points by Naito Tetsuya, the students of Green Wind have a window to vent.
The overwhelming cheers poured into the stadium, and at this moment, the players of Green Wind finally felt the feeling of fighting at home.
Previously, there was a dead silence in the stands, which made them think they were playing away, and the silence of the spectators also affected the form of the players. But now, the players of Green Wind have begun to be active, and the spectators watching the game have finally been driven.
"Excellent! Mike! ”
"It was a beautiful shot, even better than I expected!"
"You must keep up this momentum, and you must keep it up!"
Coach Ofune off the field clenched his fists with some excitement, and Huiri, who was sitting next to him, saw the Green Wind team score, and his face finally eased a lot at this moment.
It's just that this situation obviously didn't satisfy her, and after the team scored, she shouted loudly into the field:
"Come on!"
"Get the score back! Our green wind must be the strongest! ”
Huiri's shouts moved the others again, and after a brief silence, the cheers grew even louder.
"Hey, it's just a goal."
"Shouting what?!"
"Shut you up right now!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi pouted unhappily, and after serving from the bottom line, he rushed towards the front court quickly.
Between the offensive and defensive transitions, the green wind also quickly returned to the field.
Although the martial arts and Rukawa Kaede on the Xiangbei side have changed their guards, but on the side of the green wind, Mike Okita still firmly follows the martial arts of Jinguji Temple. In Mike Okita's opinion, the opponent he has to face is Jinguji Martial Arts, as for the others?! It's not enough for him to pay attention.
Even Rukawa Kaede, who has just had an excellent defensive posture, is just "excellent".
"Do you still want to fight me?"
'If you're a good player, you should have seen it in the previous short encounters.
"The gap between me and you is huge, not only technically, but also physically."
"Don't you recognize the gap?"
Martial Arts looked at Mike Okita who was following him with a serious look and couldn't help but ask.
"Huh?!"
"How can that come out of your mouth? It shouldn't be! ”
"Are you going to give up just because your opponent is stronger than you?"
"If you don't try, how do you know where your limits are?"
Mike Okita raised his eyes and glanced at Martial Arts, and it just so happened that at this time, Jinguji Martial Arts was half-sideways, asking for the ball towards Mitsui Shou, and the basketball was hung out, and he was directly caught by Jinguji Martial Arts with one hand.
Starting with the basketball, the posture of the martial arts of Jinguji Temple changed, and the half-sideways body was changed to his back to the basket, and he looked at Mike Okita with his afterglow, and said:
"I'm not the same as you."
"I have an awareness of my own strength, and I won't challenge the kind of players who are several levels higher than me."
"I'm still playing high school competitions, on the one hand, I have some feelings for Xiangbei, and on the other hand, I think it's too early to land in more advanced events."
Martial arts' words, so that Mike Okita, who was still quite peaceful, couldn't help frowning again, trying to suppress his anger, Mike Okita asked in a deep voice:
"So, you think you're a few levels above me?!"
"I admit you're better than me, but you're underestimating me!"
Mike Okita stepped forward, his body pressed against the body of Jinguji Martial Arts, and his arms were raised high.
"It's not... Is it obvious?!"
"You're playing well."
"But it's not enough to be my opponent!" While speaking, Jinguji Martial Arts suddenly turned around, directly accelerated the breakthrough, and at the moment when Mike Okita followed up, he stopped and pulled back to look at the basket and worship the Buddha.
At the moment when Mike Okita stopped and paused, Jinguji Martial Arts directly accelerated to break through, instantly crossed Mike Okita and rushed towards the basket.
Naito Tetsuya of the inner line saw that Jinguji Martial Arts was breaking through towards the inner line, and immediately raised his position to make up for the defense, and behind Martial Arts, Mike Okita also quickly pursued Jinguji Martial Arts after readjusting his position, refusing to give up defense at all.
"Smack!"
Jumping near the basket position, at the moment of approaching Naito Tetsuya, Jinguji Martial Arts' body actually turned 360° in mid-air, instantly crossing Naito Tetsuya's defense line at the same time, it also made Mike Okita behind him completely lose the possibility of pursuit, and the re-facing Jinguji Martial Arts maintained a good posture in the air, and the basketball shot was easily put into the basket.
"What....."
"What?!
! ”
The players in the field were stunned, and the spectators who were originally shouting for Green Wind on the sidelines seemed to have been choked by the throat and completely silenced.
