Chapter 409: Leapfrogging, Seeking Your Own Position!

Rukawa Kaede was stolen twice by Lingnan High School in succession, and with Lingnan's two counterattacks, the score of the two teams also came to 57:53, and Lingnan High School led Xiangbei High School by 4 points.

On the side of the court, Coach Taoka looked at Rukawa Kaede in the field and chuckled to himself.

Rookie Wall.

Rookie Wall, in the NBA, is a term that describes a rookie who enters the NBA and is usually in no state for a certain period of time, like an invisible wall in front of him blocking the way forward.

This situation generally occurs within 2-6 months of the rookie first entering the league, and there are many talented players who have not been able to adjust the psychological gap in this life, and are firmly blocked by the rookie wall, and have been standing still and can never be crossed.

And this situation has now appeared in Rukawa Kaede's body.

Jumping from the fish pond in junior high school to the big lake in high school, Rukawa Kaede fought extremely hard in the face of an unprecedentedly strong enemy.

In the middle of the court, he was continuously tackled by the players of Lingnan High School, and Rukawa Kaede realized that in just 20 minutes of halftime, Lingnan had found a way to target him.

Xiandao turned around and began to defend after scoring a shot, and when he passed Rukawa Kaede, he turned his head slightly sideways and glanced at Rukawa Kaede.

At this time, Rukawa Kaede lowered his head and looked at the floor a little distracted, his long bangs covered Rukawa Kaede's eyes, although Xiandao couldn't see it really, but he could still feel that Rukawa Kaede's body had lost a lot of sharpness.

The continuous steals have already affected Rukawa Kaede's mentality.

"Rukawa Kaede is now you, it's still too early to appear on such a stage!"

Immortal Dao secretly said in his heart, and then accelerated the pace of defense, crossed Liuchuan Feng, and quickly ran towards the Lingnan half.

At this time, Mitsui Shouya had already walked outside the bottom line, picked up the basketball and was about to serve, but he saw that Rukawa Kaede lowered his head and did not move for a long time, and immediately noticed that Rukawa Kaede was wrong, and hurriedly shouted:

"Hey! Rukawa Kaede, come back to catch the ball, ready to attack! ”

"Hey, Rukawa Kaede!"

After shouting twice in a row, Rukawa Kaede finally reacted after hearing Mitsui Shou's shout, raised his head, and looked at Mitsui Shou with a blank face, and his pupils slowly became focused.

"This kid!" Mitsui Shou looked stunned when he saw Rukawa Kaede's eyes.

It was the first time he had seen such an expression on Rukawa Kaede's face, and that dazed look made Mitsui Shou's heart sink.

"Are you stunned?!" Mitsui Shou pushed the ball with both hands, passed the ball to Rukawa Kaede, and then quickly stepped into the court, trotted to Rukawa Kaede's side, carefully observed Rukawa Kaede's expression, and opened his mouth to encourage:

"Rukawa Kaede, don't care, maintain your rhythm."

"These two tackles, it's just that you're a little bit slower on the ball."

"Pay attention to the position of other Lingnan players when advancing with the ball, pass the ball more, and let the basketball be transmitted quickly."

What Mitsui said can only be regarded as some advice for "beginners", and generally speaking, for a mature point guard, these so-called "suggestions" are not useful at all.

But even so, Mitsui Shou still said these words to Rukawa Kaede.

"Hmm." Rukawa Kaede nodded, this moment his state seemed to have recovered a little, his face had a little brightness, and the speed of dribbling had also accelerated a little.

Mitsui Shoumi's attention returned to the court, staring at Rukawa Kaede for a few seconds before quickly entering the front court. And after entering the front court, Mitsui Shou no longer played the triangle offensive run, and walked directly towards the corner position on the left side of the court.

At the same time, it is also a signal for Nango Koichiro to sink into the interior line, allowing him to vacate the mid-range position, so that the outside players have plenty of space to play their offensive methods.

When Fuji Zhen saw Rukawa Kaede dribbling into the front court, he repeated his old trick again, and rushed directly towards Rukawa Kaede, without waiting for Rukawa Kaede to approach the three-point line, he directly blocked in front of Rukawa Kaede and pressed his chest against Rukawa Kaede's body.

Fujima's strength is not great for Rukawa Kaede, but this kind of physical confrontation still greatly reduces Rukawa Kaede's dribbling space, and it becomes very uncomfortable to hold the ball.

At the same time that Fujima was pressing, the eyes of Xiandao and Shinomiya Tianye also quickly swept to the direction of Rukawa Kaede and Fujima.

If Rukawa Kaede breaks through Fujima's defense, these two will make up for it as soon as possible.

"Stopped! Rukawa Kaede, this kid is afraid of making up defenses? Don't dare to fight? ”

Under the defense of Kenji Fujima, Rukawa Kaede unconsciously stopped, did not use his physical advantage to force Fujima, Mitsui Shou who saw this scene sighed lightly in his heart, and then immediately rushed in the direction where Rukawa Kaede was, trying to make a no-ball cover for Rukawa Kaede.

And at this moment, Jinguji Martial Arts ran back without the ball, not only did not go to pick up Rukawa Kaede, but cut directly to the inside line. Seeing this, Shinomiya Tianye hesitated for a moment, ignored Rukawa Kaede at the top of the arc, and directly followed the martial arts of Jinguji Temple and left the three-point line.

"Rukawa Kaede, don't lose your sharpness because of that little setback!"

"No matter what kind of player you are, you will encounter a steal, see your own shortcomings, play all the weapons you have, you can break through the current predicament!"

Jinguji Takemichi looked at Rukawa Kaede in the distance, and when he traveled to the free throw line, his body suddenly froze, changed his position again, and rushed towards the top of the arc of the three-point line in reverse.

The continuous switchback run finally allowed Jinguji Martial Arts to open up a little position, and there was already room to catch the ball.

"Rukawa Kaede! Pass! ”

Seeing that Rukawa Kaede had not played the ball for a long time, Martial Arts of Jinguji Temple shouted directly. And Rukawa Kaede, who focused his attention on Fuji Zhen, finally heard the shouts of the martial arts of Jinguji Temple at this time, and he didn't think much about it in his mind at all, and directly passed the ball in the direction of the martial arts.

"Smack!"

The basketball flew quickly from Fujima's head and fell directly into the hands of Jinguji Martial Arts, who took the ball Jinguji Martial Arts at this time and was almost two meters away from the three-point line.

And the four palace fields, which were originally closely following the martial arts of Jinguji Temple to pursue and defend, also stopped abruptly at this moment, and after a retreat, he directly opened a distance of nearly fifty centimeters from the martial arts, reserving enough defensive depth for himself.

In front of the middle line, Rukawa Kaede, who successfully passed the ball out, didn't know why he only felt that his head was clear for a while, and his tense muscles were relaxed at this moment.

The feeling of relief made Rukawa Kaede couldn't help but relax and breathe a sigh of relief.

It wasn't until now that Rukawa realized how comfortable it was to be able to rely on his teammates on the pitch.

And the martial arts of Jinguji Temple, which started with basketball, also collapsed at this moment.

Fujima Kenji, who was originally defending Rukawa Kaede, also directly let go of Rukawa Kaede in front of the middle line at this moment, and instead wrapped up from behind the martial arts of Jinguji Temple, wanting to steal the martial arts of Jinguji from behind the martial arts.

And although Jinguji Martial Arts was holding the ball frame at this time, the movements of Fuji Zhen behind him could not escape his attention at all.

In the mind of Jinguji Martial Arts, the moment he received the basketball, he had already preset the possible reaction of Ling Nan, and his offense would definitely not let Ling Nan have the possibility of stealing him!

After a crotch dribble, Jinguji Martial Arts directly attached to Shinomiya Tianye's body sideways, and at the moment when Martial Arts quickly narrowed the distance between the two, his posture quickly changed from a face frame to a sideways basket.

Holding the ball and half-turning to break through in disguise, Jinguji Martial Arts once again faced the frame, and at the same time smoothly passed through the defense line of the Sinomiya Field, and the position of the Sinomiya Field, and at the moment when the Sinomiya Field slid to follow up, the Jinguji Martial Arts of the face frame was another crotch dribble change direction.

Jinguji Martial Arts' continuous and high-frequency change of direction action directly allowed him to successfully shake off the defense of Shinomiya Field, invaded to the edge of the three-point line, and when Shinomiya Field's pursuit came up, Jinguji Martial Arts was already jumping with the ball, and directly stopped and pulled out a three-point shot.

The basketball flew out directly from the hands of the martial arts of Jinguji Temple, and in the stunned eyes of everyone in the audience, it fell steadily into the net, making a crisp sound of "boom".

The audience was stunned for a moment, and then immediately erupted in amazing cheers.

"Three-pointers?! And be able to shoot three-pointers?! ”

"After a continuous change of direction, you don't need to adjust your posture to be able to throw in three points directly, is this guy really human?!"

“ohhhhhhh! Xiangbei! Xiangbei!! ”

The cheers of the crowd poured into the stadium like a tsunami.

Many of the people who came to watch the game today were players, including college students, high school students, and many college scouts and coaches. These insiders clearly know what kind of physical control is needed for this three-point shot scored by Martial Arts of Jinguji Temple.

Jinguji Martial Arts, who can complete this attack, is already at the apex of the player, whether it is rhythm control or physical coordination.

"Jinguji Martial Arts is such a terrible guy."

"In the game with the King of the Mountain, this guy didn't use much strength at all."

"Looking at the whole country, I'm afraid that only the four palace fields in Lingnan can force such a martial art of the Jingu Temple!"

In the corner of the stands, Eiji Zebei was wearing a cap, staring at the martial arts of Jinguji Temple in the middle of the stadium, which was beginning to defend, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This talented player, who has been smooth sailing since childhood, has suffered a series of setbacks on the national stage, and now he has temporarily dismissed the idea of going to the United States.

In today's high school arena, there are still people who need him to chase, and Zebei plans to wait until he becomes a "veritable" No. 1 high school student in the country before going to the United States.

But seeing the match between Xiangbei and Lingnan today, Zebei suddenly found that the gap between himself and those two top players was far more than just physical fitness.

The scoreboard on the sidelines jumped, and the score of Lingnan High School and Xiangbei High School had come to 57:56, and the difference was narrowed to one point.

This three-point shot by Jinguji Martial Arts is a shot in the arm for Xiangbei, and both the players off the court and the players on the court are extremely excited.

After returning to the court quickly, Jinguji Takemichi sank directly into the inside line and played the position of power forward. After Rukawa Kaede and Hui took their seats, Martial Arts said loudly to Rukawa Kaede:

"Rukawa Kaede, the main attacker, doesn't just hold the ball and play alone."

"It's also important to cut off the ball."

"You're slacking off just after the ball!"

The voice of Jinguji martial arts attracted the attention of Rukawa Kaede at the top of the arc, his face tightened slightly, Rukawa Kaede turned his head and looked at Jinguji Martial Dao, silent for a while, Rukawa Kaede said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I'll pay attention." ”

Mitsui Shou, who was not far away, clearly heard Rukawa Kaede's apologies and was surprised.

Rukawa Kaede, an arrogant boy, would say such a thing, which really surprised him!

Of course, Mitsui Shou's words to Martial Arts were scornful.

If someone else said this, he would really believe it, but when the martial arts of Jinguji Temple said this, it could only be the first grade of training Rukawa Kaede.

After all, Mitsui Shou clearly knows that Jinguji Martial Arts rarely passes the ball when he attacks by himself.

Just when everyone in Xiangbei was communicating, everyone in Lingnan's high school had already entered the front court, and Xiandao Akira helped Fuji Zhen who held the ball to block and dismantle, allowing Fuji Zhen to smoothly cross Rukawa Kaede's defense and break through to the inside line.

However, the Xiangbei side also changed the defense in time, and Mitsui Shou stopped the opponent when Fujima was close to the free throw line.

And just when Mitsui Shou thought that the other party would pass the ball, Shinomiya Tianye's figure suddenly appeared on Mitsui Shou's side, and he helped Fuji Zhen make a block.

"This guy. Did you do a block and dismantle Fujima?! ”

As Mitsui Shou's surprise sounded, Fujima took advantage of a translation to block and dismantle, and threw directly at the empty position on the side of the free throw line.

The basketball flies out and falls directly into the net.

The cooperation of everyone in Lingnan was quite tacit, and Fuji Zhen's shot was also very sudden, and the martial arts of the inner line focused their attention on Sinomiya Tianye, and they didn't expect that Lingnan's side actually wanted Fuji Zhen to attack.

With the basketball in the net, the difference between the two teams widened to three points.

Akagi Goken sent a quick shot at the bottom line, and after giving the ball to Rukawa Kaede, Takedo patted Rukawa Kaede's shoulder as he ran forward and passed Rukawa Kaede, and whispered in the opponent's ear: "If you advance with the ball head-on, you will be intercepted by the opponent." ”

"Then you might as well try an off-ball cut."

"Although Fuji Zhen's speed is very good, his figure is very different from yours, and more importantly, his bounce is very different from yours!"

After finishing speaking, Jinguji Martial Arts quickened his pace and quickly entered the front field. Rukawa Kaede's eyes lit up slightly after hearing this, with his talent and awareness, it was impossible not to think of this way, but he was blocked by Ling Nan a few times in a row, and Rukawa Kaede's mentality was a little unbalanced.

Under the guidance of Jinguji Martial Arts, Rukawa Kaede was easily able to find an advantage that he could take advantage of.

Soon, everyone in Xiangbei entered the front court one after another, and after Rukawa Kaede entered the front court, he didn't wait for Fuji Zhen's defense to step forward, and directly passed the ball to Jinguji Martial Arts.

When everyone in Lingnan saw this scene, they were all stunned, and Coach Tiangang on the field was a little surprised, and then hugged his chest and shook his head with a chuckle: "Realize your incompetence and start passing." ”

"That's fine, in this way, it's the defensive rhythm that we Lingnan is more familiar with."

However, as soon as Coach Taoka's murmur fell, something changed in the court.

Jinguji Martial Arts, who got the basketball, did not drop the ball alone at the first time, but held the basketball high with both hands and looked down slightly at the Shinomiya field waiting in front of him.

Suddenly, Jinguji Martial Arts jumped lightly and threw the ball directly.

"Huh?! Knee bending is not strong enough, this is not a shot! Shinomiya Tianye also turned his head, and happened to see Rukawa Kaede at this time had actually crossed Kenji Fujima's defense and quickly cut into the inside line.

Jinguji Martial Arts' "projection" is fake, and the passing is real.

Soon, Rukawa Kaede, who entered the basket, jumped up in front of Fujima and grabbed the ball directly in his hand, and then turned around and jumped out from close range after blowing the ball once.

Although Kenji Fujima tried very hard to block Rukawa Kaede's projection, his height and his bounce made it impossible to limit Rukawa Kaede's shooting in such a close basket position.

The basketball wiped the board into the net with a crisp sound.

The score of the two teams came to 59:58, and the difference was still only one point.
