Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 116 First Battle, Slaughter!
Not long after Coach Anxi confirmed the starting lineup, the referee's whistle sounded, and players from the two teams began to enter the field for warm-up activities.

In this game, Xiangbei's opponent is Dazhai High School in the same county, a little-known team.

During the warm-up stage, Jinguji Budao took a look at several players from Dazhai High School from a distance, and focused on the players wearing jerseys No. 4-9. He found that the height of those players was generally only about 175cm, and they were of medium build. There didn't seem to be any outstanding players.

Although Kanagawa Prefecture is a strong county in basketball, the average level of high school students is actually not high. Generally speaking, teams with an average height of 180cm or more can often enter the top 16. There are 1-2 players in the team Teams with a height of 190cm or more are basically guaranteed top 8 teams.

A team like Dazhai High School with an average height of about 175cm is also at the upper-middle level in the county competition. Generally speaking, the possibility of winning the first game is quite high.

As for teams with the height structure of Xiangbei High School, there are relatively few competitions in the entire county. From the perspective of height structure alone, Xiangbei High School is far stronger than Dazhai High School.

In today's basketball environment, basketball is still a giant sport. When the audience present sees the general height of the players of the two teams, they can predict the result of the game.

"The players in Xiangbei are so tall! A team like Dazhai High School should not be Xiangbei's opponent."

"And there is Mitsui Hisashi in Xiangbei, and they have no players who can limit Mitsui Hisashi and Akagi Takenori in their big house."

In the auditorium, several Xiangyang players sat together, discussing the strength comparison of the two teams on the court.Hanakata sat beside Fujima, shifted his eyes to Mitsui Hisashi and Akagi Takenori, and said.

He had an impression of Akagi Takenori. In the last county competition, they played against Xiangbei from Xiangyang High School.At that time, he was still a backup center in the team, and he only played against Akagi Takenori at the end of the game for a while.

But by the time he played, Shohoku High School had already been defeated, and Akagi Takenori was also given a good education by their team's third-year center at that time.Although Shonhoku lost at the time, Akagi Takenori's strength still made Hanakata remember until now.

As for Mitsui Shou, it goes without saying that he was the main scorer of Xiangbei High School at that time. If it wasn't for Xiangyang Youfujima and another third-year senior who took turns to defend Mitsui Shou, dragging Mii Shou down, the final two teams The outcome may be rewritten.

"Da Zhai High School cannot be Xiangbei's opponent. This year, our group's biggest enemy is Xiangbei."

"Last year, Xiangbei's strength was already very strong. If we didn't have a lot of players in rotation, we really might not be their opponents."

"Obviously, Xiangbei this year is stronger than last year."

Fujima clasped his hands in front of his chest, and said in a deep voice, after a while, Fujima moved his eyes to No. 15 Shonhoku, Jinguji Budao, and murmured:

"That NO.15 needs a good look."

On the court, Mitsui Shou led the players to warm up. The first-year players were all first-year players, so the second- and third-year players were cooperating with Budo and others, passing the ball to Budo and the others, so that the players on the field could adapt to the field first.

Budao has been to this basketball gym several times, and he has long adapted to the noisy environment around him. After simply throwing a few balls to find his shooting feel, Budao began to dribble to warm up.

Unlike him, it was the first time for Satoru Kakuda and his team members to face such a scene. In the stadium full of people, the newcomers of Kakuda Satoru only felt stiff, even if it was a simple layup, Satoru Kakuda Both Shiozaki Tetsushi and Shiozaki stumbled a bit, their movements were uncoordinated and not smooth.

On the contrary, Yasuda Yasuharu, who is introverted and seldom talks, performed much better. Although this kid is also nervous, at least his movements are not so stiff.

"That can't be done."

"Even if Budou and Miyagi lead the team, if you play in such a state, not only will you not be able to help Budou and the others, but it will also hinder them."

"We have to find a way to help them."

Hisashi Mitsui had already noticed the nervousness of these two players when he passed the ball to Satoru Kakuda and Tetsushi Shiozaki to watch them layup.Their psychological quality is average, and they didn't have much experience in competitions when they were in junior high school. Today is the first time for the two of them to start.

Although Mitsui Hisashi understood that the two of them would feel nervous, but seeing the state of Tsukuda and Shiozaki, his brows were still frowned.

"Kakuda, Shiozaki, you two come here!"

Mitsui Shou stood under the basket, and after Shiozaki completed a hip-pull layup, Mitsui Shou greeted the two.

The two who heard Mitsui Shou shouted immediately ran towards Mitsui Shou.

"Captain!" ×2
Mitsui Shou looked at the two people in front of him, and just opened his mouth, he wanted to reprimand a few words to make them aware of the problem, but when the words reached his mouth, he swallowed them vigorously. Mitsui Shou knew that at this time, reprimand , will only aggravate the tension between the two.

Mitsui Shou walked up to the two of them, spread his arms, hugged the two of them in his arms, and whispered in their ears:

"I know you two must be nervous right now."

"This is the first time for you to represent Xiangbei in the competition, and it is normal to have such emotions!"

"However, I hope that you can completely open yourself up, don't be afraid of mistakes, don't be afraid of losing face, and don't be afraid to show yourself."

"Even if you make a mistake or lose the ball, no one will blame you, because you are rookies."

"Don't be afraid of falling behind, I'll cover you all, don't be afraid!"

"When you are on the court, let your talents go! The opportunity to play is very rare, so you must seize it!"

When Mitsui Shou spoke in a soft voice, when he said "I will give you the bottom line", Mitsui Shou's tone was firm and full of confidence.His words also calmed the restless hearts of the nervous Kakuda and Shiozaki a little.

"Yes! Captain!"

"I'll do my best, Captain!"

Tsunoda and Shiozaki were encouraged, and at this moment, their tension was temporarily overcome.Yasuharu Yasuda and Ryota Miyagi watched this scene while warming up, Mitsui Hisashi's charisma of personality made him somewhat infected.

Jinguji Budao didn't pay attention to other things the whole time, and he was warming up on his own. His spirit, as the warming up, had begun to concentrate.

Nearly 10 minutes later, the referee's whistle sounded, and the players of the two teams finished their warm-up and returned to their respective rest areas to make final adjustments.

Coach Anxi didn't give Wu Dao and his freshmen any tactics, he only had a simple sentence.

"Go ahead and enjoy the game!"

"Beep!!"

As the referee's sharp whistle sounded again, the participating players walked into the court one after another and gathered in the middle circle for jump balls.

"Huh? Mitsui Hisashi and Akagi Takenori from Xiangbei didn't play?!"

"The players on the field are all new faces!"

Kenji Fujima was surprised to see that the players from Xiangbei High School were all unfamiliar faces.At the same time, on the other side of the stand, everyone from Lingnan High School looked at Xiangbei and others who were on the stage, and they all looked at each other in blank dismay.

Coach Tian Gang stroked the stubble on his chin, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Coach Anxi really thinks far! He is already training soldiers!"

"It seems that I also have to hone the new players."

When Coach Tian Gang was speaking, he glanced at the new players in the team this year, and made up his mind.

Teams that have paid attention to or dealt with Shohoku before only know that Shohoku's main players are Mitsui Hisashi and Akagi Takenori. They are not familiar with Jinguji Budo and Miyagi Ryota, and have never even met them.

But at this time, teams like Lingnan and Xiangyang who are watching the game are all interested in Xiangbei's starters.Lingnan knows the abilities of Budo and Miyagi, and wants to see if the two of them have improved, while everyone in Xiangyang wants to see how strong this year's substitutes in Xiangbei are.

In the middle circle, Budou Jinguji stood on the center line, ready to jump the ball.

Standing in front of Budo Jinguji was No. 5 from Ozhai High School. He was less than 180cm tall, almost a head short of Budo. Standing in front of Budo, he looked quite petite.

"Bastard! This guy is so tall! Besides Akagi Takenori, how can there be such a person in Xiangbei?!"

"This guy is in the first grade. He should be a novice. If you don't let him get into the basket, it should be fine. As for the others in Xiangbei, they seem to be rookies."

"Before Mitsui Shou and Akagi play, we need to widen the point difference!"

No. 5 in the mansion cursed secretly, looked up at Bu Dao's face, thinking about countermeasures in his mind.

Soon, the referee came to the middle circle with the ball, and after indicating that the players of the two teams had settled down, he blew the whistle to start the game. The next second, the referee threw the ball into the air.

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"

The moment the basketball went into the air, No. 5 in the mansion roared and jumped up, full of momentum.However, the basketball had just reached the highest point, when the player in the mansion was still tens of centimeters away from the basketball, Budo tiptoed and stretched out his hand casually, the basketball flew to Miyagi Ryota, and Miyagi Ryota caught it in his hands .

"Why are you shouting so loudly?" Wu Dao lowered his head slightly, looked at the opponent in front of him in confusion, and then slowly moved towards the front court.

"Beautiful, martial arts."

"attack!"

Ryota Miyagi received the ball, shouted, and then took the ball forward, slowly advancing towards the frontcourt.Before the game, Miyagi also noticed the nervousness of Kakuta and Shiozaki, so he deliberately slowed down the rhythm of the attack, allowing them more time to adapt to the court.

Miyagi still has a sense of teamwork, and he didn't think that his teammates were not good enough, so he flew solo.

"Kakuda, go over there."

After entering the frontcourt, Budao squeezed directly into the inside line. There was no one in the mansion who could restrict him from taking a position. After Budao took his position, Budao pointed to the vacant space outside the paint area on the other side, pointing to Kakuda to set up. .

No way, because of Mitsui Hisashi's encouragement before the game, Kakuda was still relaxed, but when he walked on the court, the audience shouted, and the nervous Kakuda had completely forgotten his offensive position.

"Ah?! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh'hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh'hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Kakuda was reminded) and ran towards the higher position. It looked like he wanted to do an off-ball pick-and-roll for Yasuda.

This is a habitual move for Kakuda. After all, Shohoku’s practice during this period is to practice this, but he has a big problem with choosing to help the pick-and-roll. Yasuharu Yasuda, how can he cut without the ball? !
As soon as Kakuda mentioned it, Yasuda did not move. At this moment, in the area where Miyagi was located, including his own players and defenders, there were a total of 6 people standing, completely blocking Miyagi's breakthrough route.

Speechless, Miyagi could only find Jinguji Budo on the inside line, and lobbed the ball over.

The players defending Budo are not tall, and their jumping is average. Miyagi doesn't even act when passing the ball, and the intention of passing the ball is quite obvious.

Seeing the ball flying towards him, Bu Dao took two steps forward and easily held the ball in his hands. When Bu Dao landed, he realized that on the floor in front of him, there was a player from a mansion lying on his back. .

"Huh? When did this guy fall in front of me? Didn't you notice?" Budou didn't even notice that someone was trying to intercept Miyagi's pass, and he didn't even know that he bumped into someone who was trying to steal it when he jumped. players.

This level of physical confrontation, under the blessing of the golden bell cover and iron cloth shirt, martial arts can't even feel it.

Bu Dao, who caught the ball easily, quickly blasted the ball and turned to face the frame. With a lift of his hand, No. 5 who was defending him jumped up high, but Bu Dao glanced at the opponent lightly, and only threw the ball when the opponent was about to fall. For the first shot, he didn't even jump.

The basketball hit the backboard and hit the net. As the sound of the basketball hitting the net sounded, the rest area in Xiangbei burst into cheers.

"Beautiful! Budo!" Mitsui Shou waved the towel and shouted excitedly.Above the auditorium, Hota and the others cheered enthusiastically, but the flags these three guys waved were the flags of "Man of Fire".

Budo's goal officially blew the horn of Xiangbei High School's offense, and the nightmare of the Dazhai players has just begun.

Ten seconds later, a bang sounded from above the court.

A basketball flew out of the court like a cannonball, and slammed into the wall beside the court.

Under the basket in Xiangbei, the No. 5 player in the mansion was staring blankly at the flying basketball. After a long time, he turned his head to look at Jinguji Budao in front of him in horror.

Just now, he received a pass from his teammate and went straight to the basket, but the basketball had just escaped from his hands. The next second, Bu Dao's big hand slammed on the basketball.

A solid big hat directly hit the basketball out, and the speed of fire was even comparable to the speed of shoulder-to-shoulder volleyball smashes.

Between one attack and one defense, martial arts has shown unparalleled dominance.

"That NO.15 is not at the same level as those players in Ozhai!" With just two balls, Kenji Fujima had already seen the strength of Jinguji Budo, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

In the next game, Fujima's words were verified throughout the whole process. Under the leadership of Jinguji Budo, Shonhoku High School showed an overwhelming advantage.

Jinguji Budo blossomed both offensively and defensively. Not only did it repeatedly give blood caps to those players in the mansion who tried to attack the inside line, but on the offensive end, Budo also showed a dominant ability, frequently scoring inside or close range.

Within 3 minutes of the start of the game, the players of Da Zhai did not dare to enter the paint, and only dared to float outside to shoot.And when Xiangbei attacked, the defensive team members changed from 1 to 2, and in the end, it became 4.

Except for the defenders of Miyagi, the rest of the big mansion players squeezed into the inside line, tightly surrounding Budo, defending, as if Xiangbei was Budo's one-man team.

Just when everyone thought that Budo's offense would be suppressed, Jinguji Budo once again showed a terrifying scoring ability.

Even against the defense of four people, Budao relied on quick and complicated inside footsteps, played high and high, and frequently covered the defenders to complete the score. When he was two, he made frequent fouls and succeeded, scoring two plus one.

After 10 minutes of the game, the score of the two teams has reached 21:6. Budo's personal score has reached 10 points in just 15 minutes.

Obviously the competition has only just begun, but everyone knows that the competition is already over!
The audience no longer cared about the outcome of the game, and now the audience at the stadium just wanted to know, Dazhai, is there any way to limit Xiangbei's No. 15 from scoring?They just want to know, how many points can No. 15 in Xiangbei score in this game?

But when everyone was full of anticipation and wanted to see how many points Jinguji Budo could score against the opponent, at 11 minutes into the first half, Jinguji Budo scored 19 points. Punch out of get off work!
