The first round of encounters between the youth team and Xiangbei High School showed the characteristics of their respective teams.

Between attacking and defending, the ball has come to the hands of the academy team. Kaede Rukawa received a pass from Masashi Kawada from the backcourt, and then slowly advanced towards the front court with the ball.

As a member of Xiangbei High School, Rukawa Kaede is quite clear about the ability of Xiangbei players, and now the two players under the basket of Xiangbei High School are Nango Kuichiro and Oda Ryumasa in the first grade, although the strength of the two is not bad, but if the opponent to face is Kawada Masashi with Sakuragi Hanamichi's double lineup, it will be a little worse.

With the dominance of the inside, their Academy team's attacking tempo doesn't need to be so tight, although it doesn't matter if they make the most of their attacking time.

Rukawa Kaede is now completely out of the thinking of a small forward, and is organizing the team's offense and controlling the team's offensive rhythm in the role of a point guard.

As Rukawa Kaede dribbled the ball into the front court, the offensive time had already passed 6 seconds.

After the martial arts of Jinguji Temple was settled, I felt that I had waited for a long time, and finally saw Rukawa Kaede enter the front court with the ball, squinted at the timer on the side of the court, and couldn't help but smile and praise: "Have you learned to control the team's offensive rhythm, Rukawa Kaede's growth is not small." ”

After Rukawa Kaede dribbled the ball into the front court, Eiji Zebei, who was originally standing in front of Jinguji Martial Arts, moved quickly and went directly to the top of the arc to make a block for Rukawa Kaede.

"Kiyota, change guards."

Jinguji Martial Arts saw Rukawa Kaede break through when he was chasing Zebei Eiji, and hurriedly reminded Kiyota Nobunaga, and then quickly blocked in front of Rukawa Kaede.

Martial Arts felt that Rukawa Kaede should not miss this opportunity to challenge him in the arena. Martial Arts thought that he had seen through Rukawa Kaede, but Rukawa Kaede, who was dribbling forward, accelerated suddenly, but the basketball in his hand was directly passed to Zebei Eiji.

Rukawa Kaede had no intention of fighting martial arts by himself at all.

Eiji Zebei, who got the ball, hit a big game, a shooting feint and then quickly exploded to break through, and when he reached the middle distance, a throw sent the ball into the basket to help the academy team get two points.

The score of the two teams came to 4:2.

Wu Dao heard the sound of the basketball entering the net behind him, turned his head slightly, glanced at the basket, and then smiled at Rukawa Kaede and asked, "What's wrong?" Don't you dare challenge me? ”

"Do you think you don't have a chance of winning?"

Faced with Martial Dao's slightly mocking words, Rukawa Kaede shook his head with a cold face, and a little smile actually appeared on his expressionless face, and replied towards Martial Dao: "I just used the most efficient fighting style. ”

Saying that, Rukawa Kaede had already turned around, didn't talk to Martial Dao anymore, and quickly returned to the field.

"It's really grown, and after the baptism of the national competition, Rukawa Kaede has obviously been well guided in the youth team."

"It's too. The team is full of masters, and Rukawa Kaede's arrogance should also be exhausted. ”

"Facing up to your weakness is the beginning of becoming stronger."

Wu Dao secretly said in his heart, clapped his hands and shouted at the team members:

"Start attacking, play fast!"

"It's all about being positive when you run, and only when you run can you create chances for yourself."

"There are also first-year students in the opposing team, Kiyota, Nango, Katsumi, and Oda, if you feel that you are inferior to each other, you should end as soon as possible!"

"It's the same first year, I don't think you're weaker than each other!"

Martial arts loudly encouraged the players of Xiangbei, originally this task was done by Mitsui Shou, and martial arts are generally only responsible for scoring.

But after the adjustment of Xiangbei High School, the oldest player on the field is Jinguji Martial Arts, and he also has to take on other tasks besides scoring.

"Of course! How could we possibly lose to the stinky fox and the red-haired monkey. ”

"And that group of our subordinates in Xiangbei are defeated! It is impossible for the losers to unite to win our winners! ”

Kiyota Nobunaga and Nango were the most susceptible to the influence of the words, and as soon as Jinguji Martial Arts' words fell, the two couldn't wait to reconcile loudly. Nango's bottom line is fast, Kiyota Nobunaga also quickly dribbled the ball to the front court after getting the basketball, just approaching the three-point line, and directly and quickly gave the ball to the hands of Jinguji Martial Arts.

After the ball, Kiyota Nobunaga also cut in quickly, and the moment he cut past Rukawa Kaede, the basketball in Takemi's hand had already passed quickly towards him.

Kiyota Nobunaga got the basketball, and after a step, it was a direct leap, and at the same time, the basketball in his hand was also quickly hooked to the basket.

The strange timing of the shot made Masashi Kawada, who was defending under the basket, unable to react, and Rukawa Kaede, who was following behind Kiyota Nobunaga, was also thrown out of position by Kiyota's fish jump, and could only watch the basketball fly towards the basket.

"Huh!" The basketball just crossed the top edge of the basket and landed into the net with a crisp sound.

Kiyota Nobunaga, who lost his center of gravity, fell directly to the ground, raised his head and saw the moment the basketball entered the net, he let out a low cry of excitement in his mouth, and then quickly got up from the ground, ran to the three-point line and high-fived the Jinguji martial arts in celebration.

"Well passed! Martial arts seniors! ”

Wu Dao also praised with a smile: "Very good layup, Kawada Masashi didn't expect it." ”

Xiangbei quickly returned to defense, and Masashi Kawada under the basket couldn't help but glance at Kiyoda Nobunaga's back after picking up the basketball, the point guard in Xiangbei didn't play cards according to common sense at all, and the style of playing gave people a novel feeling.

"I don't have a lot of height, but I have good speed and I have a good sense of air cuts."

"That kid's advantage should be speed."

"But the layup abandoned the speed and caught Kawada off guard with a change of pace."

"He's a good player."

On the side of the court, Coach Ohtani looked at Kiyota Nobunaga, who was returning to defense, and gave his own evaluation, which was quite recognized by Kiyota Nobunaga's strength.

"Hum Hum"

"Wild monkey, you're doing a good job, but just like that, you can't beat the team led by this genius!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi suddenly chuckled after seeing Kiyota Nobunaga score a layup, and then shouted arrogantly at Kiyota, who had already returned to the defensive position.

When Sakuragi crossed the middle line, Rukawa Kaede had just received a basketball in the backcourt, and seeing Sakuragi Hanamichi's enthusiastic appearance, Rukawa Kaede also quickly brought the ball into the front court.

At the same time, when Rukawa Kaede was approaching the three-point line, Sakuragi also quickly cut to the inside line from the bottom corner.

This time, Oda Ryumasa noticed the movement of Sakuragi Hanamichi, and immediately chased after Sakuragi Hanamichi, and it was Sakuragi Hanamichi that rushed less than three meters under the basket, Sakuragi in high-speed movement actually stopped his steps in an instant, and the soles of his shoes rubbed violently against the floor, making a sharp sound.

The moment he stopped, Sakuragi quickly reversed, and at the same time, Rukawa Kaede's pass was also passed towards Sakuragi Hanamichi at the right time, and it accurately fell into Sakuragi Hanamichi's hands.

When Sakuragi got the ball, Oda Ryumasa had already stopped and reflexively chased after Sakuragi, and at this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was holding the ball, also raised the ball high above his head.

Seeing this scene, Oda Ryumasa did not hesitate, jumped up directly and reached out to cover the basketball in Sakuragi's hand.

"Humph!"

"That's naïve, Oda!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi raised his eyes and looked at Oda Ryumasa, the corners of his mouth were hooked, he chuckled, dropped the ball quickly, and killed directly under the basket, and then grabbed the ball with his right hand, and directly poured the ball into the basket with a violent dunk.

"Bang Bang !!"

After a loud bang, the youth team's rest area was already jubilant. After Sakuragi landed, he laughed out loud, and then quickly returned to defense.

"Nice feints." Before returning to defense, Masashi Kawada said to Nango Koichiro in front of him.

Sakuragi Hanamichi's shooting feint not only deceived Oda Ryumasa, but even Nango Kuichiro in front of him was deceived, and because of this, when Sakuragi broke through, Nango, who was standing under the basket, was not able to make up for it in time.

Because at that time, Nango Koichiro was wrestling with Masashi Kawada to grab the best position to compete for rebounds.

Masashi Kawada's praise of Sakuragi Hanamichi is a mockery of Nango Koichiro.

"Abominable !!"

Masashi Kawada left to return to the defense, Nango Koichiro clenched his fists, scolded in a low voice, and then picked up the basketball without saying a word and went to the bottom line.

The basketball is sent out, and Kiyota Nobunaga quickly advances with the ball.

After entering the front court, he didn't make the first shot, but tried to break through Rukawa Kaede's defense, but after wasting more than ten seconds of offensive time, Kiyota Nobunaga still couldn't pass through Rukawa Kaede's defense, and finally chose to pass the ball to Jinguji Martial Arts.

I still chose to cut without the ball.

Kiyota Nobunaga also recognized his own strength, and it was very difficult to want to rush to Rukawa Kaede, so instead of wasting time with the ball, it was better to give the ball to the hands of Jinguji Martial Arts.

If he doesn't have the ball, Kiyota Nobunaga is confident that he will be able to find an attacking opportunity under the defense of Rukawa Kaede.

"Smack!" Starting with the basketball, Jinguji Martial Arts received the ball sideways, and the ball protector gently pressed against Eiji Zebei's abdomen, and at the moment when the basketball started, he quickly changed his posture and swept the ball frame.

After dropping the ball once, the basketball came to Martial Arts' right hand, and at the same time, Martial Arts' legs were also staggered back and forth, and at the moment of hovering the ball, the body quickly reversed and shook.

However, Eiji Sawakita is also a veteran of defense, and he was not deceived by the feints of Takemi's upper body, but set his eyes on Takemi's feet and paid attention to Takemi's offensive footsteps.

In Zebei's perspective, Jinguji Martial Arts' left foot quickly lifted and stepped directly towards his left side. Zebei, who saw this scene, also quickly slid and blocked towards his left.

However, in the next second when Eiji Zebei slid to follow up, the martial arts of Jinguji Temple, who was holding the ball, actually turned around quickly, and instantly passed Eiji Zebei.

Zebei, who realized that something was wrong, hurriedly pursued, but his speed had just been raised, and the Jinguji Martial Arts, who was rushing forward with the ball, was a sudden stop, and after a step back, he shot quickly and highly.

When the martial arts were shooting, on both sides behind Eiji Zebei, Rukawa Kaede and Mike Okita were already coming up from two directions, but their bags didn't even have a chance to use it, so they could only watch Jinguji Martial Arts shoot.

The basketball flew directly over everyone's heads and landed firmly into the net, making a crisp sound.

The offense was easily completed, and it took less than four seconds to get the basketball from Jinguji Takemichi to scoring the ball.

Zebei Eiji's defense and his teammates' supplementary defense, in front of the offensive skills of Jinguji Martial Arts, are like a void, and they can't threaten Jinguji Martial Arts even a little.

On the sidelines of the pitch, the youth team players who saw this scene fell silent one by one. These are all people who Coach Ohtani has selected from all over the country to participate in the academy, and they are either skilled, talented, or both.

These people all know the ball, and some of the movements of Jinguji Martial Arts don't seem to be very difficult, they are nothing more than dragging steps, feints, turning and retreating, and mid-shot.

But anyone who has played knows how difficult it is to smoothly connect this series of movements like Jinguji Martial Arts.

Not to mention the frequent movement and static transformation, but also to maintain the body posture after this dynamic and static transformation, with a terrifying hit rate, this kind of thing, is not the so-called hard training can be done at all.

On the road of basketball, even if it is something like shooting that seems to be stacked with training, it also requires terrifying talent.

Not everyone can shoot in the middle of the shot, not everyone can shoot threes!

"With that kind of skill and such physical fitness, the strength of the martial arts of Jingu Temple, what kind of terrifying level has it been!"

"It's hard to imagine what kind of opponent it takes to be able to stop such a person."

"Coach Ohtani, should we change the way we defend, I think a single defense should not be able to stop the martial arts of Jinguji Temple."

A black player looked at Jinguji Takemichi who was returning to the defense, sighed with emotion, and at the same time raised his opinion to Coach Ohtani.

Black players originally played in American high schools, but that high school really didn't have any fame and presence in American high school basketball. It was at this time that he and his teammates happened to receive invitations from Mike Okita and Midorifeng High School, so they came to play in Midorifu.

When the youth training was selected, the two of them also signed up, and the two who were not qualified were successfully selected under the strong "money ability" of the director of Green Wind High School.

Although they enter the youth training in a relationship, their personal strength is real, and it is precisely because of this that black players can feel the horror of Jinguji martial arts more, because even in the United States, there are few high school students who can play like Jinguji martial arts.

"Well, it's really impossible to contain the martial arts of Jinguji Temple with a single defense."

"Bag clamps and joint defense are absolutely indispensable, but don't worry, let's see."

"I want to see what kind of skills he has."

When the two were talking off the field, the youth team had already completed an attack under the leadership of Rukawa Kaede, and Rukawa Kaede assisted Masashi Kawada to help the team score two more points.

Between offense and defense, the basketball has already come to the hands of Martial Arts of Jinguji Temple, and Martial Arts is still more than two meters away from the three-point line when he receives the ball. Wu Dao, who was holding the ball, stretched out his arms, broke through the feints, and then combined the ball without warning to shoot a three-point shot.

In the slightly surprised gaze of everyone in the audience, the basketball directly crossed a large arc in the air, and then directly hit the basket, making a crisp sound.

6:7, Xiangbei High School, one point ahead!
