Chapter 422: The Ambition of the Third Graders!
In the finals of the national competition, the two contestants were Shohoku High School from Kanagawa Prefecture and Hakata Business University High School from Fukuoka Prefecture.
In today's game, Xiangbei High School did not send the strongest lineup, but chose to send a group of senior players.
The center is Akagi Goken in the third grade, the power forward position is a senior in high school, the small forward position is Mitsui Shou in the third year of high school, and the scoring guard position is the same as that of Konobu Ki Twilight in the third year of high school.
Only the point guard position is held by Jinguji Takemichi, a sophomore in high school.
Today's Xiangbei, although it is not the most powerful lineup configuration in Xiangbei, is definitely a more harmonious and stable lineup configuration.
This year, since the Sakuragi Hanamichi players joined Xiangbei High School, players like Chiba Daishi and Konobu Ki have basically not had many opportunities to play in the competition.
Today, for the senior players, it is the last major game of the summer.
Coach Anzai made such a lineup decision after evaluating the strength of the High School Affiliated to Hakata Business University, in order to allow the third-year players to spend this summer without regrets.
After today's game, some of the third graders in the basketball club are probably going to retire!
Leaving them fighting in the finals of the national competition is very important for children of that age!
"Xiangbei!! Xiangbei!! Xiangbei!! ”
As the players from Xiangbei High School walked into the field, the supporters of Xiangbei in the stands cheered loudly, cheering for the players of Xiangbei High School.
Some viewers who have watched the Xiangbei game also talked about it after seeing such a platoon in Xiangbei.
First-year players such as Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede, although young, have already left a deep impression on the stage of the national competition.
At this time, the audience did not see the familiar Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede on the stage, and they questioned one after another:
"Hey, Xiangbei, where's that red-haired first-grader?!"
"What is he doing on the bench? Send him up to play tricks! ”
"Let Rukawa Kaede come up, we want to see his performance~"
The audience was all people who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and when they saw that there were two more unfamiliar players in the starting team of Xiangbei, they shouted one after another.
Sakuragi Hanamichi was still a little complacent when he heard some viewers ask why he didn't play. But hearing that these people actually wanted to see him "playing treasure", Sakuragi's face was also full of depression.
It's Rukawa Kaede, listening to the audience's praise, he also looks indifferent.
But Rukawa Kaede's appearance can only be described in two words in Sakuragi's eyes." Loading be! ”
Fortunately, Chiba Dashi's personality is quite calm, and Mu Du Gongyan also belongs to that kind of gentle person, at this time, listening to the shouts of the audience, the two of them were not angry at all, and followed their teammates into the court with a flat expression.
However, although the two of them didn't mean to get angry, Mitsui Shou, who also listened to this, was a little uncomfortable. Both of them are his teammates, and the audience actually looks down on them so much, as the captain of Xiangbei, how can Mitsui Shou have a good face.
And Mitsui Shou has never been a good-tempered person, and he has never easily compromised with outsiders.
Mitsui Shou looked in the direction where the voice came from, and was about to say something, but Mu Du Gongyan behind him immediately sensed Mitsui Shou's intentions, gently grabbed the corner of Mitsui Shou's clothes, and said with a smile when Mitsui Shou looked back:
"Mitsui, there's no need to fight with the audience."
"This is the stadium, and by all accounts, it's useless."
"The two of us must use our own actions to be able to gag the audience's mouths."
Speaking of this, Mu Dui Gongyan buckled his cheeks a little embarrassed, and suddenly became not very confident and said:
"It's a bit inappropriate for me to say that, but I think I'll try not to hold you back."
"This is the opportunity given to me by Coach Anthy, I will definitely cherish it!"
In the previous sentence, Mu Dui Gongyan said that he was still a little weak-hearted, but in the latter sentence, Mu Dui Gongyan became extremely firm. This is a contradictory player, gentle and strong.
Takeshi turned his head and glanced at Mitsui Shou and Mu Du Gongyan, who were talking, and then turned around and walked to the backcourt of his team to stand still.
Mu Dui Gongyan's determination, he had already felt it. Wu Dao plans to spend fifteen minutes to build a stage for Mu Dui Gongyan and them to perform!
Soon, the referee walked into the court with a basketball, and everyone from Xiangbei and Hakata also settled down in the middle circle, and their attention was also focused on the court.
The players settled, and after a sharp whistle, the basketball was thrown into the air by the referee, and the game affiliated to Xiangbei High School and Hakata Business University officially began!
"Smack!!
After a crisp sound, the basketball in mid-air was directly slapped to the backcourt by Akagi Gangken.
The center forward at Hakata Business University High School is about the same height as Akagi, but in terms of athleticism, he is a little worse than Akagi.
On the jump ball, Akagi Gangxian easily defeated the opponent and won the ball for Xiangbei High School.
The basketball flew towards the backcourt at a high speed, and Jinguji Martial Arts just raised his hand and directly received the flying basketball.
Dribbling forward with one hand, Jinguji Takedo advanced with the ball while shouting loudly to his teammates:
"It's time to attack!"
"Let's get a goal first and make a nice start!"
Jinguji Takemichi said, already dribbling the ball past the center line and approaching the top of the three-point line attached to Hakata Shodai. Jinguji martial artists are tall and big, and although the rhythm of luck is not very fast, the speed is not slow at all.
However, in the eyes of Hakata's opponents, Jinguji Martial Arts is obviously slow, but in the blink of an eye, he has already entered the front court.
Such a contrast was something that no one expected at the beginning.
The one who defended the martial arts of Jinguji Temple was the player who Xiangbei High School studied for half an afternoon yesterday, the mixed-race player named Hamadi Jonsson.
This player's appearance is distinctly Asian, except that his facial lines are more angular than those of ordinary Asians, and the color of his pupils is somewhat different from that of a yellow person.
Other than that, there are no more mixed-race traits in Hamadi Jonsson's body at all.
After getting close to Hamadi Johnson with the ball, after thinking about it for a while, Takedo Jinguji decided to play the ball himself first and feel the strength of the opponent for himself.
After all, the feeling of watching the game and watching the video is very different from the feeling of actually playing.
Martial Arts has to feel the opponent's ability for himself, and then decide what kind of posture to stand on the court in such a match.
In the end, it is an open-handed attack with full firepower, or a coordinated organization, and become a qualified "cornerstone".
Thinking quickly in his mind, Jinguji Martial Arts' movements did not pause at all, and after approaching the top of the arc, Jinguji Martial Arts took the ball sideways, and the ball protector directly hit Hamadi Johnson, and at the same time, Jinguji Martial Arts was also fast and close, compressing the defensive gap between the two.
After leaning on Hamadi Jonson a little harder, Jinguji Martial Arts quickly accelerated short, wanting to break through.
However, just when Jinguji Martial Arts started, Hamadi Johnson on the defensive end quickly retreated, and directly slid sideways to quickly keep up with Jinguji Martial Arts' movements, and at the same time quickly reached out to hit the basketball in Martial Arts' hands.
Judgment is accurate, and the action is quick and decisive.
It was just a round of encounters, and Hamadi Jonsson immediately showed good defensive skills.
"Huh?! Not bad! ”
Hammadi Jonsson's sharp movements somewhat surprised Wu Dao, but he didn't expect the other party to be so active, and when he was in the opposite position with Sinomiya Tianye, Sinomiya Tianye didn't dare to steal easily, the reason was very simple, Sinomiya Tianye was not sure!
And once the steal fails.
Jinguji Martial Arts gently hooked the ball with his right hand in the face of Hamadi Johnson's steal, and quickly dodged Hamadi Johnson's steal with a random back luck, and after the bad luck changed direction, Jinguji Martial Arts' body did not pause, and instantly crossed Hamadi Johnson and cut into the inside line.
It's just two strides, Jinguji Martial Arts has quickly approached the free throw line, stepping on the free throw line with his right foot, Jinguji Martial Arts once fried the ball, grabbed the ball with one hand, and "took off" directly towards the basket.
The Jinguji Martial Arts who attacked the basket suddenly attracted the supplementary defense of the inside players affiliated to the Hakata Shodai, but the breakthrough of the Jinguji Martial Arts was too fast.
By the time they thought of making up for it, the martial arts of Jinguji Temple had already slid to the basket.
"Bang Dang!!"
Gliding with one hand, the basketball was poured directly into the net by Jinguji Martial Arts.
A huge slam dunk sounded from the field, and the spectators in the stands suddenly burst into cheers. The Xiangbei bench players on the sidelines cheered happily when they saw their teammates scoring a slam dunk, like Kiyota Nobunaga and Sakuragi Hanamichi, who couldn't be idle, were already waving towels at this moment.
In the middle of the court, Jinguji Martial Arts, who fell back to the ground, glanced lightly at Hakata's insider, with a faint smile on his face, and turned his head back to defense.
The competition with the High School Affiliated to Hakata Business University was quite easy for Jinguji Martial Arts~
"It is worthy of being an ace player valued by Oak Hill Academy, and the name of Yellow Storm is not a false rumor."
"It's really strong!"
When Martial Arts of Jinguji Temple turned around to defend himself, Martial Arts suddenly heard these two words from the mouth of Hammadi Jonsson. Slowing down, Takeshi looked back at Hamadi Jonson with a puzzled look in his eyes.
"I've been on probation at a college in the U.S. for a while, and I've heard of you."
"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to provoke you, I just want to play against a player like you."
"Instead of. and them."
As he spoke, Hamadi Johnson looked at Mitsui Shou and the others, who had already returned to the defense at this time, and said something meaningful.
Wu Dao followed Hamadi Jonsson's gaze, and when he saw Mitsui Shou and the others, his eyes were slightly condensed, his head turned sideways, and he replied lightly to Hamadi Jonsson:
"You're going to change your attitude."
"Before you challenge me, you have to learn to respect your opponent."
After speaking, Wu Dao took steps and ran quickly towards the half of Xiangbei, ignoring Hamadi Johnson.
Between the offense and the defense, the attacker became a subsidiary of Hakata Shodai.
Hamadi Jonsson, who was holding the ball, soon came to the frontcourt, and after entering the frontcourt, he was immediately intercepted by Jinguji Takemi.
Under the defense of Wu Dao, Hamadi Johnson seems to have no intention of passing, and continues to change hands in front of the body, seemingly looking for flaws in the defense and looking for gaps to break through.
Seeing that the other party wanted to break through, Wu Dao retreated slightly and got out of the way. Seeing this, Hamadi Johnson also seemed to feel that his opportunity was coming out, and quickly dropped the ball to break through.
However, at the moment when he was about to break through, the "road" that was still in front of him just now had suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a solid chest.
"Bang!" Fearlessly, Hammadi Jonson slammed his head into Takemi's body, and the sheer force made him lose his balance. Seeing this, Wu Dao also quickly made a steal, but at this moment, Hamadi Johnson, who was obviously out of balance, suddenly passed the ball to the side.
Hamadi Jonsson's body also quickly regained its balance and quickly crossed over the side of Jinguji Martial Arts.
And at the moment when he bypassed the martial arts, the basketball had already been passed back into his hands.
Hamadi Johnson, who got the basketball, quickly rushed into Xiangbei's inside line, learned the previous martial arts of Jinguji Temple, jumped two steps directly at the free throw line, and glided towards the basket.
Hamadi Johnson actually wants to replicate the goal of the martial arts of Jinguji just now, and make a resounding counterattack!
Neither Akagi nor Chiba Oishi under the basket expected that Hamadi Jonson could actually get past the defense of Martial Arts, and the preparations were not very sufficient, and neither of them chose to block in the face of Hamadi Jonsson, who had already vacated.
At this time, even if you go to block, there is no point except for the possibility of carrying a foul.
"Xiangbei, give you back a ball!"
With a bright smile on his face, Hamadi Jonson said in his heart that the basketball in his hand quickly smashed towards the basket.
However, just as Hamadi Johnson was about to score a dunk, a figure quickly flew up from behind him, and the shadow shrouded Hamadi Jonsson's back.
"Am I such a weak person in your eyes?!"
A cold voice came from behind Hamadi Jonson and into his ears, causing the hairs on his back to stand on end.
In the next second, a big hand went straight down from top to bottom, directly covering the basketball and slapping the ball off Hamadi Jonsson's hand.
Hamadi Johnson grabbed the basket with one hand, but the basketball, at this moment, had already fallen to the ground and was held by Akagi in his hand.
"Attack!"
After landing, Wu Dao did not hesitate at all, and sprinted directly towards the front court, while shouting loudly to his teammates.
The basketball quickly fell into the hands of Martial Arts, and at this time, Mitsui Shou and Mu Du Gongyan had already entered the front court.
Martial Arts didn't mean to go on his own, so he shook his hand and gave the ball to Mitsui Shou. Mitsui Shou, who dribbled into the front court, attracted the attention of Hakata's defense players, and under the opponent's defense, Mitsui Shou Miao passed the ball and gave the ball to Mu Du, who had already cut into the inside line at this moment.
With a light layup from Mu Dusk, the score of the two teams came to 4:0.
The situation in the arena has begun to favor Xiangbei High School!
