Chapter 359: Terrifying Firepower, Player's Goal!
A 360° turn layup in mid-air, the exaggerated skill of Jinguji Martial Arts is the first time that both the audience and the players present have seen it.
Even the well-informed Coach Anzai opened his mouth slightly at this moment, and his eyes were full of shock.
In the middle of the court, Mike Okita, who watched Jinguji Martial Arts complete this series of operations in front of his eyes, also shook his head slightly after a brief shock.
This kind of technique, he Mike Okita can completely reproduce, I believe that as long as you practice well in private, you will definitely be able to complete it. His own bounce, air stagnation, and waist and abdominal strength are not bad, and this kind of difficulty is not something unattainable for him.
But Mike Okita knows very well that even if he has mastered such a skill, he will never use it on the court, and the reason is very simple, because he is not completely sure that he can perfectly avoid the opponent's defense and score the ball under the opponent's defense.
Jinguji Martial Arts can play such a ball, on the one hand, it shows that the opponent's ball skills are indeed a lot higher than ordinary people, and it also shows that Jinguji Martial Arts is indeed full of confidence in himself.
This kind of inner strength of infinite trust in one's own ability is what the team's ace should really pursue.
And being able to reach this inner realm also means that Jinguji Martial Arts has never encountered the so-called "peak" on the road of growth.
All the peaks, in front of the Jinguji Martial Dao, can be climbed, and only in this way can the Jinguji Martial Dao be so confident in his own ability.
"This guy is really not the same kind of person as me."
"Is it true that such a person can really be cultivated by the current basketball environment in Kanagawa Prefecture with a more American-style style of play than me?!"
Mike Okita had a deep doubt in his heart, and the self-confidence and strength of the martial arts of Jinguji Temple made him see the figure of those heavenly pride in the United States.
Between offense and defense, Green Wind High School once again began to reorganize the offense.
Xiangbei High School implemented the arrangement of Coach Anzai during the timeout, and did not use the full-court pressing defense to press the guard line of Green Wind, causing the opponent to make mistakes.
When returning to the field to defend, all the Xiangbei players settled into their own half, using the simplest man-to-man play, completely letting go of some restrictions on Green Wind, hoping that Green Wind can play its true style.
When the previous timeout, the tactics laid out by Coach Ofune were actually very simple.
If Xiangbei still plays full-court pressing, let the Tsurumi brothers pass the ball to Mike Okita, and Mike Okita will take on the responsibility of holding the ball to advance, so as to solve the full-court pressing of Xiangbei High School.
Jinguji Martial Arts' personal strength is indeed very strong, if someone cooperates with him on the bag, even if it is Mike Okita, he may not be able to smoothly bring the ball through the half court, but for Green Wind High School, Mike Okita takes the ball through the half court, and the rest of the team members go up to block and dismantle the cover.
After all, there is a huge gap between the hard power of the two teams, and such a method may still be able to work, successfully breaking the full-court pressure of Xiangbei, and the rest of the methods have no possibility of success at all.
The team of Green Wind has been established for too short a time, and the run-in between the players is far from enough, and it is already very good to be able to simply block and dismantle the cover, and Coach Ofune does not expect the players to be able to play any exquisite cooperation between them.
Therefore, on the offensive end, Coach Ofune also gave Mike Okita, a "returnee", full choice.
In a nutshell, the ball is given to you, and you bring the green wind to win!
The Green Wind players who entered the front court quickly settled down, and the standard outside three and two were in place, and Seiji Tsurumi, who crossed the midline with the ball, passed the ball out early and gave it to Mike Okita in the horn position.
The defense of Mike Okita is still Rukawa Kaede, a simple sweep to break through the void, and after Mike Okita connects the shot with the void, he quickly drops the ball to break through.
After the feints of the practice, although Rukawa Kaede did not completely lose his position, it also allowed Mike Okita to find a breakthrough gap, and after an improvement, Mike Okita directly made a high-level emergency stop jump shot.
The skillful and smooth breakthrough shooting action made the green wind students watching the ball let out a cheer.
"Huh!"
At the same time, basketball is also in the net.
The height difference between Rukawa Kaede and Mike Okita is not very large, and it is even a few centimeters shorter than Mike Okita. And Mike Okita's bounce is not weaker than Rukawa Kaede, in the face of Mike Okita's emergency stop jump shot, Rukawa Kaede is still unable to successfully stop the opponent even if he is only half a body behind.
It's just that for the same goal, Mike Okita can score in Rukawa Kaede's face, but if the defender is Jinguji Martial Arts, he may have to eat a block for this goal.
Facing a tall and bouncing player like Kaede Rukawa, Mike Okita only needs to pull away half a body to have plenty of shooting gap.
But to play against a tall and bouncing player like Jinguji Martial Arts, even if Mike Okita pulls away two positions, I'm afraid it's just enough for him to shoot.
And those who can rely on feints and dribbles to pull away two positions under the defense of Jinguji Martial Arts......
"Sure enough, it's much easier to deal with than the martial arts of Jinguji Temple."
When the basketball went into the net, Mike Okita's face flashed with a smile, and he didn't feel happy to score in front of Rukawa Kaede.
In Mike Okita's opinion, this is, as it should be!
It's just that Mike Okita wrote lightly, but the way he scored made Rukawa Kaede couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
can only say that he deserves to be a four-star high school student in the United States. Mike Okita's "weakness" is just because he is in front of Jinguji Martial Arts!
"The outer basket technology is very comprehensive."
"Rukawa Kaede's physical fitness is about the same as the other party, unless he predicts and accurately predicts the opponent's movements, otherwise, he can't be prevented."
"Indeed, Mike Okita is a good opponent for Rukawa Kaede!"
Jinguji Takedo watched this round of attack and defense of Mike Okita and Rukawa Kaede, and immediately judged the strength of the two.
Compared with Mike Okita's "offense", Rukawa Kaede's defensive ability is worse.
After losing points, Xiangbei's side immediately organized an attack, Mike Okita's attention was still on Jinguji Martial Arts, and Mitsui Shou turned his head to look at the location of Jinguji Martial Arts after dribbling into the front court.
Seeing that Mike was still defending himself, Takeshi couldn't help but reach out and ask Mitsui Shou for the ball.
The other party's desire to fight is very strong, and Martial Arts doesn't mind satisfying the opponent's sadistic mentality.
There are no fancy movements, Wu Dao takes the ball directly, dangles his right foot a little, and pulls his foot directly.
The clean and neat dry pull made the substitutes in Xiangbei look sideways.
"Huh!"
The basketball directly responded to the net, making the Green Wind students, who were still cheering for the Green Wind basketball team, quiet, but after a few seconds, the cheering of the Green Wind students became louder. The court is already behind, if you don't cheer up the players at this time, where will the players in the field get the motivation to play?!
"This guy is so fast!"
"And, it's so high."
Mike Okita, who was running towards the front court, thought about the attack of Jinguji Martial Arts just now, and pulled it neatly, although in terms of technology, it was far inferior to the opponent's previous "360° turn layup" to pull the wind, but this kind of "mediocre" attack is the real horror thing.
Pulling the ball for three-pointers, without a doubt, is a superstar weapon for scorers, with the exception of orangutans.
Between offense and defense, taking advantage of a block from a teammate, Mike Okita quickly rushed to the basket after receiving a pass from a teammate. After attracting Sakuragi Hanamichi's defense, Mike Okita combined the ball, passed the ball in a false way, and sent the ball into the basket with a one-handed throw.
His technique is very good, and Sakuragi Hanamichi was completely deceived by the other party.
In the following games, Xiangbei High School and Green Wind High School finally had a sense of being evenly matched.
After Martial Arts of Jinguji Temple did not defend Mike Okita, Mike Okita justified his status as a "four-star high school student" on the offensive end. Whether it is playing alone with the ball, or dealing with basketball when facing defense and packing, it is quite mature and excellent.
Rukawa Kaede's defense was nothing in front of him, and the defense line in northern Hunan was once broken by Mike Okita alone.
When Mike Okita performed well, Naito Iron of Green Wind High School also attracted the attention of many people, this wide and fat high school student, quite dominant on the inside, although the basket technique is very rough, but his weight and strength are his biggest weapons, and he frequently relies on strength to force points under the basket.
Compared with him, the performance of Sakuragi Hanamichi and Nango was a little weaker, and in the 11th minute of the game, Sakuragi Hanamichi was also ready to change his defensive thinking in the face of the "invincible" Naito Tetsuya.
At the beginning, he was still very unconvinced to wrestle with the other party, and it was not a wrestling angle, but if Sakuragi Hanamichi wanted to withstand the opponent's card position, he needed to sacrifice some bounce and use a lower center of gravity in exchange for a more stable lower plate.
But after losing several backcourt rebounds, Hanamichi Sakuragi realized that this defensive style would not work. He realized that he couldn't compete with the other in their strengths, and he had to pull the other person on the same track as himself.
Thinking of this, Sakuragi Hanamichi is no longer obsessed with snatching the advantageous position under the basket, and sometimes, he even deliberately conceded a good position to Tetsuya Naito, in order to be able to exchange for some running gaps.
Sakuragi Hanamichi plans to use her own bounce to compete with the opponent on the rebounding ball.
The strategy changed, and Sakuragi soon tasted the sweetness.
After Mike Okita missed a shot in a stop, Hanamichi Sakuragi rushed to grab the rebound, completed the top flower picking on the head of Tetsuya Naito, and easily took the ball into his arms.
Then the ball was passed out, and Jinguji Takemichi countered and scored. After helping the team to score on the counter-attack, Sakuragi was out of control, and in the rest of the first half, Sakuragi Hanamichi often erupted in excitement.
As the game progressed, Rukawa Kaede gradually adapted to Mike Okita's breakthrough, although there was still no way to block the opponent's attack, but Rukawa Kaede was able to affect the opponent's concentration when Mike Okita shot.
This kind of defense also made Mike Okita's offensive efficiency significantly decrease, and Mike Okita, who realized this problem, reduced his mid-range shooting and increased his burst points. In this way, Green Wind maintains a certain degree of offensive efficiency.
However, the attack of Xiangbei High School has always been led by Jinguji Martial Arts.
Unlike Rukawa Kaede and Mike Okita, Mike Okita is not much different from no defense.
Jinguji Martial Arts wants to burst out on the offensive end, and throws whenever he wants, pulling the defensive strength of the Green Wind outside, and often being able to pull the supplemental defense of the Green Wind interior players.
However, whether the supplementary defense is supplemented or not, it will not affect the score of Jinguji Martial Arts.
By the 18th minute of the first half, Jinguji Takemichi's individual score had reached a terrifying 32 points.
To him, Green Wind is like meat on his plate, if he wants to eat it, he will cut it twice.
Jinguji Takemichi, who scored like crazy, gave up his attack near the end of the first half, and the depth of the green wind, he had already tried it in 18 minutes, and it was boring.
In the time after that, Takeshi was more about passing the ball for Rukawa Kaede and Mitsui Shou, but instead played the role of a point guard.
In the second half of the game, Jinguji Takemichi was replaced by Coach Anzai, and it was Miyagi Ryota who replaced Martial Arts.
Compared with the boring in the first half, the competition between Xiangbei High School and Green Wind High School in the second half was much more intense.
The focus of people's attention has changed from the beginning of Rukawa Kaede vs. Mike Okita to Mitsui Shou vs. Mike Okita.
Rukawa Kaede and Mike Okita can be regarded as mutual explosions, but Mitsui Shou vs. Mike Okita can't be simply described as a "mutual explosion".
Because Mike Okita's scoring efficiency is far less than Mitsui Shougao!
Mitsui Shou has already mastered the technique of upside down throwing, and in today's game, his hand is also very good, how to throw, and once beat Green Wind High School out of the fire.
Coach Ofune called a timeout, and after helping the players adjust their emotions, he let Green Wind recover his state.
But in the stormy attack of Mitsui Shou, the Green Wind team members also had no expectations for victory.
At the end of the practice match, Xiangbei High School won by 34 points with 112:78.
The score of breaking 100 gave Coach Ofune and the players of Green Wind High School a new understanding of the strength of the team of Xiangbei High School.
On the field of high school, a score of sixty or seventy is very common, and between strong teams and strong teams, if it is an offensive end, 80+, 90+ is already a terrible offensive efficiency.
And the score of breaking 100, before Xiangbei High School, few teams were able to do it.
This is clear to Coach Ofune, who has coached high school basketball for many years.
The terrifying firepower of Xiangbei High School on the offensive end can be seen from their scores alone.
"Beep-"
With the referee's long whistle, the game between Xiangbei High School and Green Wind High School came to an end. The players of the two teams shook hands with each other, and although they lost the game, Mike Okita did not have much loss on his face, and he didn't know how much he had experienced in defeat.
After shaking hands with Mitsui Shou and Rukawa Kaede one by one, Mike Okita suddenly said to the two:
"Mitsui Shou, Rukawa Kaede, the strength of the two of you, it's too condescending to continue to play here."
"I think you should chase a higher level of basketball instead of rotting here!"
Mike Okita admired the strength of these two opponents and persuaded him with good words.
Mitsui Shou and Rukawa Kaede glanced at each other, and finally Mitsui Shou nodded, turned his head to look at Jinguji Martial Arts, who had changed his clothes and was sitting on the bench at this time, and said:
"Yes, after winning a national first prize with him!"
"And this kid will too!"
"After being 'Neon First'!"
