At the end of the first half of the game between Xiangbei High School and the youth team, the score of the two teams came to 55:49, and Xiangbei High School was not only not suppressed by the youth team, but led the opponent by six points.

At halftime, the youth team members who returned to the rest area secretly looked at Jinguji Martial Arts in the rest area on the other side, and their eyes were full of surprise.

All of them didn't expect that the situation of the competition would develop like this, whether it was Eiji Sawabei or Mike Okita, they had all fought against Xiangbei High School led by Martial Arts of Jinguji Temple.

Rukawa Kaede is Xiangbei's own player.

But even so, they didn't expect that the martial arts of Jinguji Temple would still lead Xiangbei High School to suppress them under the umbrella of the three of them.

In the short twenty minutes of the first half, Jinguji Martial Arts had already scored 31 points and 31 points in the half, and he was able to score so many points under such defensive intensity, if he hadn't experienced it himself, no one would have believed such an outrageous thing.

"This guy. Is it really human?! ”

"It's not a matter of skill to be able to score the ball frequently at such defensive intensity!"

"It's simply . Adults bully children like children. ”

In the rest area, Eiji Zebei gasped and said a little unwillingly.

The light of the martial arts of the Jingu Temple completely suppressed everyone, and now the combat power displayed by the other party was not something he could touch at all. Eiji Zebei, who has always been striving for the martial arts of Jinguji Temple and the field of the four palaces, has never felt that the goal is so far away.

At that time, when Xiangbei High School competed with their mountain king, Jinguji Martial Arts probably didn't fully exert his power at all.

In today's game, Jinguji Martial Arts completely shattered their perception of basketball.

It turns out that there are really people who can take a team to this level just by relying on three-point shooting.

It turns out that relying on three-point shots can also suppress opponents, and even lead the team to defeat the strong with the weak. Jinguji martial arts' current style of play is fundamentally different from the basketball concept of this era.

The closer you get to the basket, the easier it is to score.

Such a law seems to be inapplicable to the martial arts of Jinguji Temple.

"Zebei, don't worry."

'As a quality player, it's very important to keep a clear head.

"Only in this way can you see the weaknesses of your opponents and see your own weaknesses clearly."

Coach Ohtani heard Eiji Zebei's muttering, and directly turned his head sideways and nodded towards Zebei. Looking at the players who were a little depressed, Coach Ohtani stood up, walked in front of the players, slowly squatted down, looked up slightly, and the players, continued:

"The firepower of Xiangbei High School is indeed very fierce!"

"Jinguji Martial Arts' personal ability is indeed quite good, a player like him, let alone you, I haven't seen it in China."

"Not to mention the country, even if you look at the world, I am afraid that such high school students are rare."

"Still. That doesn't mean you don't have a chance to win. ”

"Although Xiangbei is strong, they are not invulnerable."

"It's up to us to see if we can seize the opportunity!"

Coach Ohtani spoke to the players in a calm tone, and there was no nervousness or panic on his face because the team was behind.

For a coach like him, I don't know how many times I've faced this situation.

The neon national team of this era has lost more and won less in the World Series, and Coach Ohtani has lost more, so he is naturally proficient

Coach Ohtani's words immediately attracted the attention of the players. Now not to mention Eiji Zebei, who is fighting head-on with Jinguji Martial Arts, even the players watching the game from the sidelines think that Jinguji Martial Arts is irresistible and the team has no hope of victory.

But Coach Ohtani's words gave everyone hope.

"Chance?! What chances?! ”

"What kind of chances will give us a win?"

When Eiji Sawakita heard the word "opportunity", he immediately came to his senses and hurriedly asked Coach Ohtani. Without waiting for Coach Ohtani to reply, Sakuragi Hana said reasonably:

"Of course there's a chance!"

"And this opportunity is being firmly grasped by this genius!"

"As long as you follow my genius, we have a chance to win!"

Eiji Zebei suddenly heard this, thinking that this guy Sakuragi Hanamichi was starting to "stink" again. Although this self-proclaimed genius guy has a little bit of strength, Eiji Zekita doesn't think that relying on Sakuragi Hanamichi's half-baked skills can lead the team to win.

It is better to count on Sakuragi Hanamichi, it is better to count on himself, and even to count on Rukawa Kaede is more reliable than to count on Sakuragi.

However, when Coach Ohtani heard this, he looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi and smiled, his eyes were actually full of appreciation, looking at his appearance, he seemed to quite approve of Sakuragi Hanamichi's words?

Stop it.

Seeing Coach Otani's expression, Eiji Zebei subconsciously questioned it in his heart, but in the next second, Eiji Zebei was stunned.

If there is a chance for their team to win, there really is one!

Moreover, this opportunity was really firmly grasped by their team, but this opportunity was not only relied on by Sakuragi, but also by Masashi Kawada.

"Coach Ohtani. What do you mean?"

Zebei had a guess in his heart and asked uncertainly.

"Rebounding!"

"Rebounding is our last chance to turn defeat into victory!"

Eiji Sawakita looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi, and finally reacted to what the opportunity was in Coach Ohtani's mouth. Indeed, although Xiangbei High School is now leading, the rebounding ball is firmly controlled by their youth team.

Now Jinguji Takemichi is able to keep his team ahead with his excellent shooting percentage, so what if his hand drops?

Zebei really doesn't believe that someone can cast a whole game and feel so hot.

In this day and age, there are no such high school students at all!

"I see!" The rest of the team members also quickly calmed down after listening to the conversation between Coach Ohtani and Zebei, and the pressure brought to them by Jinguji Martial Arts was too great, resulting in no way for them to calm down and think about it.

But when it was said like this, all the confidence came, but in this era, not to mention that there is no one in Asia who can lead the team to win purely by relying on three-point shooting, and even in places like Europe and the United States, where basketball is developed, there are no such players.

In this era, the god of basketball is called Jordan, not Curry, although in later generations the god of basketball is also Jordan.

However, today's basketball is not the basketball of later generations after all, even a center can have beautiful three-point skills, in this era, three-point shots, after all, are only auxiliary offensive means, and the middle distance is the team's destiny to win!

The youth team that has regained their confidence is full of fighting spirit.

Jinguji Martial Arts on the other side of the court was also keenly aware of the improvement in the morale of the youth team, and looked at Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi and others with a smile, and then withdrew his gaze and drank water to make adjustments.

If Wu Dao knew what the youth team was thinking, he would probably have laughed out loud at this moment.

Is the small-ball era more upscale than today's iron-blooded basketball? Of course, that's impossible, the ages are different, the rules are different, and the intensity of the game is very different. If Curry is a contemporary of Jordan, it is unknown whether he can guarantee such a high three-point shooting percentage.

But then again, if the intensity of the game is not high, Curry and Jordan will each lead the team to play, and the winner or loser is really two words.

After all, everyone knows that three points are one more point than two.

Although Martial Arts was in the 90s, the intensity of today's training match is just like that for him. If you want to affect his projection, relying on a few of them "short guys" in Zebei, you really can't do it!

The time of the intermission was quickly over.

As the whistle blew, the players from both teams began to walk towards the pitch.

The player who acted as the referee also quickly walked into the center circle with the basketball.

Masashi Kawada and Koichiro Nango stood on the middle line, and just as the referee was about to blow the whistle to announce the start of the game, Sakuragi Hanamichi suddenly walked to Masashi Kawada's side, stretched out his hand to stop him: "Bald orangutan, let this day come to jump the ball!" ”

Hearing this, Masashi Kawada looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi, and his expression was not good.

It's not because Sakuragi wants to compete with him for the qualification to jump ball, it's just because Sakuragi Hanamichi calls him very unhappy.

"It's just from this day, come" Without waiting for Sakuragi Hanamichi to finish speaking, Masashi Kawada came directly to Sakuragi's body, clamped Sakuragi's neck directly with his arm, and asked coldly in Sakuragi's ear: "What do you call me?!" ”

"Agada Senpai !!"

Sakuragi subconsciously was about to blurt out, and as soon as the first word was spit out, the pressure on his throat became a little heavier, and Sakuragi realized that something was wrong and immediately changed his words.

Hearing this senior, Kawada Masashi also slowly let go of his hand, walked to the side, and gave up the position of the jumping ball, but before leaving, Kawada threatened: "Boy, if you lose, I will kill you!" ”

"Don't worry, I'll definitely win, Mikada-senpai."

Looking at Masashi Kawada's unkind gaze, Sakuragi snorted and said. Then he stood in front of Nango Kuichiro and said to Nango: "Bleaching Monkey, I came to be your opponent today!" ”

"Hawkers, don't be afraid, give full play to your strength and please this genius, hahahaha!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi's arrogant appearance made all the players around him speechless for a while. Wu Dao couldn't help but cover his face, Sakuragi didn't know where he learned this.

"Beep-" Seeing that the players on both sides were ready to finish, the referee threw the ball into the air after a long whistle.

Sakuragi Hanamichi and Nango Koichiro let out a loud shout in unison, jumping towards the basketball. Sakuragi Hanamichi relied on his excellent bounce and explosiveness to easily win over Nango and take the lead in basketball.

It's just that Sakuragi jumped the ball in a slightly biased direction, and Rukawa Kaede moved sideways by more than a meter before he successfully caught the basketball. Sakuragi Hanamichi, who won the jumping ball, glanced at Nango smugly, although he didn't speak, but what he meant was self-evident.

Nanxiang saw the other party's eyes, and he was furious for a while, but he lost the jump ball, and he had no choice but to scold "bastard".

The youth team that won the ball soon entered the northern half of Xiangbei, with the help of a high block by Masashi Kawada, Rukawa Kaede broke through smoothly, quickly cut into the inside line, staged a fake throw in front of Nango, and gave the ball to Sakuragi Hanamichi, who also cut into the inside line.

Sakuragi, who received the ball under the basket, dribbled the ball directly into the basket, jumped directly after two steps, and floated from the left side of the basket to the right side of the basket in mid-air, and then dunked the ball into the basket with a backhand.

A beautiful back dunk, while scoring two points for the team, also mobilized the enthusiasm of the players and sounded the horn of counterattack.

However, with the counterattack of Xiangbei, a basin of cold water was poured directly on the heads of the youth team players.

Kiyota Nobunaga dribbled the ball into the front court from the back, and Jinguji Takemichi, who was standing on the outside, directly signaled to Oda Ryumasa and Nango Koichiro on the inside line to come to the outside to create space for him to attack.

With the cooperation of multiple people, Jinguji Takemichi quickly escaped directly from the opponent's bag, and when he moved towards the left side of the court, he also reached out to Kiyota Nobunaga to ask for the ball.

Kiyota Nobunaga at the top of the arc turned his back and handed the ball to the hands of Jinguji Martial Arts, and after the ball was released, he also helped Martial Arts block the pursuit of Rukawa Kaede and others.

Jinguji Martial Arts, who successfully opened the distance, took the ball and directly pulled up the jump shot, and after the basketball shot, the chasing Rukawa Kaede was late, raising his hand to cover Martial Arts's face.

But at such a time, what is the use of defense coming up?

The basketball flew directly towards the basket, and under the gaze of the players, the basketball went directly into the net hollow, making a crisp sound!

At the beginning of the second half, Jinguji Takemichi directly scored a three-pointer, and the difference between the two teams widened by one point, and the score came to 58:51, and the difference came to 7 points.

And the three-point shot of Jinguji Martial Arts also indicates the feel of Jinguji Martial Arts in the second half of the game!

The "opportunity" in Coach Ohtani's mouth did appear in the second half of the game, and the two of Sakuragi Hanamichi and Masashi Kawada teamed up to seize this opportunity.

But unfortunately, the situation of the game did not change because their academy team successfully controlled the rebound.

Under the leadership of Jinguji Wudao, Xiangbei still firmly occupies the advantage, although the youth team's attack is also very smooth, but the score difference has not been narrowed at all.

Even the difference did not widen further, it was already the result of the hard work of the players.

Jinguji Martial Arts' unreasonable consecutive three points finally completely dashed the hopes of the youth team.

As the whistle blew at the end of the game, Xiangbei won the game with 102:93, and Jinguji Martial Arts scored 66 points in the whole game, just three-pointers, that is, 21 shots in 16, and the terrifying scoring efficiency made everyone breathtaking.

At the final whistle, the players of the youth team all turned their heads to look at the scoreboard on the sidelines, looking at the scores of the two teams, a little stunned.

Until the end of the game, Sakuragi Hanamichi was still unwilling to accept their defeat, he couldn't figure it out, he had already performed so brightly, why did the team still lose!

Sakuragi Hanamichi got 24 points and 17 rebounds in this game, star-level data, but the team still lost.

Sakuragi couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure it out at all, he had obviously dominated the basket, but he still lost the game, which was fundamentally different from the sentence that Akagi taught him back then, "If you control the rebound, you can control the game".

Sakuragi, who lost his mind, turned his head to look at Jinguji Martial Arts, and couldn't help but ask, "Why?" ”

"It's not me who wins, it's the times!"

"Ikebana, the world of basketball, it's very vast!"

"What will never change in this world is change itself!"

"On the pitch, there is no truth that applies forever."

"In front of absolutely powerful players, even if it is the truth, it can be changed!"
