Chapter 378: Gladiatorial Battles on the Inside, Genius Skills!
Sanno Industry and Xiangbei High School scored successively, making the second half of the game full of gunpowder at the beginning.
And the offense of this round also set the tone for the two teams' playing style in the second half.
Between the alternation of offense and defense, Kazunari Fukatsu has quickly entered the front court with the ball, and the brothers Masashi Kawada and Mikio Kawada on the inside line occupied the corner of the basket, respectively stuck Sakuragi Hanamichi and Nango Kiichiro behind them, and they were in key positions.
At this time, the opponent faced by Fukatsu Issei was also replaced by the relatively short Miyagi Ryota, in front of Miyagi Ryota, Fukatsu Isseri's ball became extremely easy, easily hoisted the ball, and threw the ball directly to Masashi Kawada on the inside.
At the same time, Masashi Kawada quickly stepped back with his right foot on the way to the basketball, and stepped directly on the floor behind the heel of Sakuragi Hanamichi. At the same time as he turned around, Masashi Kawada's back also resisted Sakuragi Hanamichi, so that Sakuragi Hanamichi could not turn around smoothly and pursue.
Sink the bottom step.
The beautiful offensive pace directly made Sakuragi lose the ability to chase and defend, and he could only watch Masashi Kawada burst into the basket and pour the basketball directly into the basket with his backhand.
"That orangutan face, when he turned around, he stuck my body with his body, and he couldn't chase it!" Sakuragi Hanamichi looked back at Masashi Kawada, who had completed the slam dunk and fell back to the ground, his handsome face was full of solemnity.
"Sink the bottom step!"
"Damn, I was careless, I didn't notice when he caught the ball."
Sakuragi Hanamichi recalled Kawada Masashi's turn breakthrough just now, and realized that the opponent had changed his pace in advance before receiving the ball, and this change was ignored by Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was focused on the ball.
Thinking back to Kawada's breakthrough now, Sakuragi Hanamichi realized the defensive problem just now.
The sinking step is actually a basic step for an interior player, but in today's high school basketball environment, there are really not many players who have this kind of foot skill and can skillfully integrate this skill into the offense.
Sakuragi Hanamichi is not a little white, under the training of Jinguji Martial Arts, Sakuragi Hanamichi's own basket skills are not very good, but there are many, many skills I have seen, with Sakuragi's beastly intuition, Sakuragi Hanamichi often has excellent performance on the defensive end.
Masashi Kawada was just one round of attack, and Sakuragi already had the idea of dealing with it in his heart.
Between offense and defense, Miyagi Ryota quickly took the ball into the front court, and then quickly passed the ball to Jinguji Takemichi, the basketball started, Jinguji Martial Arts' eyes also looked at the basket, ready to break through with the ball.
Although Jinguji Takemichi played the entire first half, his physical condition was maintained quite well, and his own physical fitness itself was very abundant, plus in the first half, he was more just doing switchback running, without too many singles with the ball, and the king of the mountains rarely gave Zebei a chance to play singles.
Therefore, the physical consumption of martial arts is very small, and the intensity of confrontation and the amount of exercise in the first half of the game are just warm-up at best, and in the second half of the game, no matter how martial arts are played, physical fitness will not be a problem.
After the basketball started, Wu Dao dropped the ball, and while dribbling the ball under the crotch with a high center of gravity approaching the three-point line, he paid attention to the running position of the rest of the team members of the Mountain King.
Facing the martial arts of Jinguji Temple with the ball, Eiji Zebei was a little nervous, calmed down, retreated in small steps, and kept a close distance of 3 distances, not daring to be too close, nor daring to be too far.
Don't look at Jinguji Martial Arts has this height, but his ball control ability is very strong, and he will definitely be opened by the opponent if he rushes out, but if he is too far away, Jinguji Martial Arts has a strong long-range shooting ability.
All Zebei can do is to maintain the depth of defense, and at the moment of the martial arts breakthrough of Jinguji Temple, slow down the opponent's speed, so that his teammates can quickly wrap up.
Yes, by this time in the game, Eiji Zebei had already abandoned the unrealistic idea of single-defense Jinguji martial arts.
He plans to rely on the strength of the team to defend the attack of the Jinguji Martial Dao, as long as he can resist the Jinguji Martial Dao, Xiangbei High School will definitely not be able to win!
"Don't rush, don't rush."
"See his movements and don't be fooled by him
In the past."
Eiji Zebei stared at the martial arts of Jinguji Temple, and did not dare to relax for a moment. Suddenly, Jinguji Martial Arts, who was dribbling under the crotch with a high center of gravity, suddenly dropped his center of gravity, grabbed the ball in front of his right hand with his right hand, and rushed to the ground with his body, obviously preparing to break through.
Zebei Rongzhi Tong Kong shrunk slightly, and hurriedly moved his position to fill the position, he was afraid that he would react slowly.
Unlike the opponents he had encountered before, in the face of the Jinguji Martial Dao, even if there was even a slight loss of position, he would be thrown by the Jinguji Martial Dao, because the Jinguji Martial Dao was fast and powerful, and he wanted to rely on his physical confrontation to limit the acceleration of the Jinguji Martial Dao, and he couldn't do it at all.
If it is an opponent like Rukawa Kaede, even if Eiji Zebei is half a body behind, as long as he can keep up, he can completely affect the opponent's dribbling rhythm and reduce the opponent's breakthrough speed with his body.
But this technique is useless in front of Jinguji martial arts!
"Smack!"
However, just when Zebei Eiji moved his position to intercept, Jinguji Martial Arts, who obviously landed the ball on the right side with his right hand, stretched out his left hand, directly grabbed the ball and pulled it back, his footsteps were wrong, his body shook, and he directly changed direction and rushed from the left side, easily crossing Zebei Eiji, and rushing towards the inside line quickly.
Sam Gold!
「oh! It's so fast!"
"This is a breakthrough? How easy is that?"
The swift and gorgeous breakthrough action instantly caused the audience in the stands to exclaim.
And after successfully breaking through Eiji Sawakita, Takemichi Jinguji raised the ball with his right hand and threw it at the basket seemingly casually when he approached the free throw line, before the bag between Masashi Kawada and Kazunari Fukatsu was formed.
"Whew!" The basketball shot, and a second later, the basketball fell directly into the net, making a crisp sound. Jinguji Martial Arts's seemingly random shot actually scored the ball steadily.
And as the basketball entered the net, cheers poured into the field.
"Good vote, martial arts!"
"Awesome, Jinguji senior!"
The basketball entered the net, and Xiangbei's bench was also cheering, and Mitsui Shou waved his towel excitedly and shouted loudly towards the court.
Kiyota Nobunaga also raised his arms and cheered, although he didn't play, but this kid's enthusiasm was still high. Seeing the breakthrough action of the martial arts of Jingu Temple, this kid tried it on the spot empty-handed after cheering, and consciously mastered such a breakthrough technique.
In the stadium, after the goal, Jinguji Martial Arts quickly returned to defense with the team, and the players of the Mountain King looked at each other, and their morale was slightly low, but Fukatsu Issei clapped his hands and shouted:
"Don't be intimidated by him! Next time I defend, I'll come straight over!"
"Now, prepare to attack!"
Kazunari Fukatsu received Mikio Kawada's serve in the backcourt, shouting at the players while quickly holding the ball and running towards the frontcourt.
His encouragement still had some effect, and the players on the field also regained their composure.
Although Eiji Zebei's face was dull, his eyes were full of war, and he was obviously not knocked down by the terrifying sense of oppression of the martial arts of Jingu Temple.
Sanno quickly entered the frontcourt, and the players' running position was the same as the previous attack, and the two of them quickly sank to the bottom corners of both sides, leaving enough space for the inside line to play.
And Kazunari Fukatsu, who was at the top of the arc, once again hoisted the ball to Masashi Kawada after his inside teammates were in place.
When the basketball was still in the air, Masashi Kawada tilted his head slightly, squinted his eyes and glanced at Sakuragi Hanamichi, moved his right foot, and once again wiped the floor behind Sakuragi's heel, ready to turn around.
But this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi was the first to notice it, and his hands were against Kawada Masashi's back, and his right foot was quickly withdrawn, and he stepped on Kawada's feet again.
"Huh?!" The basketball started, and Masashi Kawada, who quickly turned around with the ball, actually found that Sakuragi Hanamichi quickly followed up and appeared directly in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh in his mouth.
However, Kawada's movements did not stop, and seeing that Sakuragi was not brushed away, he directly exploded the ball on the spot, and hit Sakuragi Hanamichi's chest one side.
Sakuragi's hands were supported on Masashi Kawada's body, both cheeks
puffed up slightly, holding his breath and forcibly blocking Masashi Kawada's strong attack, but only took a small half step back. actually withstood the opponent's attack.
On the other side, Nango Koichiro reacted quickly, decisively let go of Mikio Kawada around the front defense, and when Masashi Kawada blew up the ball for the second time, he reached out and took out the basketball in Masashi Kawada's hand.
However, his action was noticed by Masashi Kawada, who quickly hugged the basketball, directly passed the ball to the side, and passed it to Mikio Kawada from the middle of Sakuragi and Nango's bodies.
Mikio Kawada's reaction was a little slow, he didn't notice Masashi Kawada's wonderful pass at all, but Masashi Kawada's strength and position to the ball were really good, and it happened to be sent to Mikio Kawada's chest.
Mikio Kawada just subconsciously stretched out his hand, and held the basketball steadily, looked down at the basketball in his hand, and Mikio Kawada under the basket quickly threw the ball, and the basketball hit the board into the net.
"What?!"
"Got out?!"
Masashi Kawada's pass surprised both Sakuragi and Nango, neither of them expected that Masashi Kawada, a muscular orangutan face, would be able to make such a delicate pass, which neither of them expected at first.
Masashi Kawada, who was born as a point guard, is actually a strengthened version of Mu Shenyi, and these first-year students in Xiangbei don't have a deep understanding of this guy's horror at all.
In the eyes of martial arts, the threat of Masashi Kawada is actually much stronger than Eiji Zekita, the enhanced version of Makishiichi, and the weakened version of Shinomiya Field.
Compared with the gimmick of "the No. 1 high school student in the country" in Zebei, Masashi Kawada, the No. 1 center in the country, is much more solid.
"Sakuragi, well done, you can already see his sinking steps."
"It's a good defense, keep up the good work."
"Nango, so are you."
"Don't worry about it, he can't always pass the ball out like that, Nango, you can pay attention to Mikio Kawada's position when you are wrapping up."
When Xiangbei served in the backcourt, Takedo did not run to the front court for the first time, but first encouraged Sakuragi and Nango before running towards the frontcourt.
Martial Arts hadn't noticed Sakuragi before, but now when Sakuragi and Kawada Masashi were in the opposite position, Martial Arts suddenly found that Sakuragi's kid had made some great progress in defense.
Maybe.... After today's battle with Masashi Kawada, this kid Sakuragi was able to make a qualitative leap. Training and competition, in the end, are still different!
Soon, Miyagi Ryota crossed the halfway line with the ball, and before he was close to the three-point line, he passed the ball to Jinguji Takemichi early.
Compared to when Rukawa Kaede played the control position, Miyagi Ryota played the control position and the way he played was too easy to guess.
After the ball, Miyagi Ryota quickly sank towards the bottom line, and Fukatsu Issei didn't care about Miyagi Ryota and forced directly towards Martial Arts.
Seeing this scene, Takeshi couldn't help but smile, passed the ball back to Miyagi Ryota with his backhand, and whispered with a smile:
"It's too much to look down on."
Sure enough, the middle-distance Miyagi Ryota took the ball, calmly stopped, paused for a second, and then threw the ball.
"Whew!"
Basketball hollow into the net.
Miyagi Ryota's mid-range shooting ability is indeed average, but his shooting training has been done, almost uninterrupted, compared to Miyagi Ryota, who is in the first year of high school, his shooting has made great progress.
Maybe his shooting percentage is still very stretched under the strong defensive interference, but if he shoots in the open position and has plenty of time to aim, Miyagi's shooting will not be so bad that he will be completely empty.
"Hehe, good vote, Miyagi."
Takemichi smiled and celebrated with Ryota Miyagi's fist. The Mountain King's defense in this round is too much of a problem.
Kazunari apologized to his teammates and quickly advanced to the front court after taking the ball in the backcourt. His attention was so drawn by the martial arts of Jinguji Temple that he ignored Miyagi too much.
This goal also made Fukatsu Issei vigilant, and this point guard in Xiangbei was not so bad that he couldn't even shoot in the empty position.
Fast hold
The ball entered the front court, and Kazunari Fukatsu changed direction in front of him to try to pass Miyagi Ryota, but he was hit by the quick-eyed Miyagi on the basketball.
However, Kazunari Fukatsu had a dodge move, and although Miyagi clicked on the basketball, he couldn't steal. However, under the influence of Miyagi Ryota, Fukatsu Issei still hurriedly hugged the basketball and failed to continue to advance.
"Hey!"
"You're in luck!"
Miyagi Ryota saw Fukatsu Kazunari stop and said to Fukatsu with a smile. Fukatsu also glanced at Ryota Miyagi with some surprise, and quickly passed the ball to Masashi Kawada on the inside.
At this time, Masashi Kawada was staring at Sakuragi Hanamichi with his back, reaching out to catch the ball.
However, at this moment, Masashi Kawada clearly felt that the right side of the position behind him was in a position of resistance.
Sakuragi Hanamichi suddenly let go of his hands and wanted to go around the front from the left side of Masashi Kawada.
Kawada was alert in his heart, and was just about to adjust his position, but Sakuragi Hanamichi suddenly turned around without the ball, stuck to Kawada's back, and drilled directly from Kawada's right armpit to Kawada's body, and actually grabbed the ball in his hand first.
"What?!
!」
Kawada looked slightly stunned when he saw Sakuragi Hanamichi who suddenly appeared in front of him, and let out a low cry of disbelief.
"Hahahaha!"
"You've seen all of your movements this day!"
"Look, this is the strength of this genius!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi, who completed the steal, held the ball with both hands, tilted his head and laughed. Hanamichi Sakuragi, who successfully bypassed Masashi Kawada to complete the steal, instantly became the focus of the audience.
