Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 133 The upper limit of players!
"what?!"

"How is it possible? Senior Jinguji is the trump card of Xiangbei High School."

"The current lineup is just testing the waters, just watch it."

Akagi Haruko didn't notice Sakuragi Hanamichi's feeling of disappointment, and now she has all her attention on the court.After all, on the court, her brother had already stepped onto the middle circle, ready to jump the ball, and the game was about to start.

"The trump card of Xiangbei High School? Then why didn't you play?" Yingmu Huadao had very little time to play basketball. While wondering that Budou didn't play, Sakuragi saw Akagi and others walking up to the middle circle and preparing to jump the ball. caught his attention.

"Hey, Haruko, what are they going to do?" Yingmu Huadao was like a baby who was curious about everything about the team, looking at the two teams preparing to jump the ball in the middle circle, and asked in puzzlement.

"Huh? Oh."

"That's called a jump ball. When the game starts, you need to use the jump ball to determine the offensive team."

"My brother is the center forward, and the jump ball is executed by him."

Akagi Haruko briefly introduced the jump ball, and then looked at the court.Sakuragi Hanamichi nodded, with an expression of "I see" on his face, but although he still had a lot of doubts in his heart, he temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart and decided to watch the game first.

The players from Xiangbei High School wore red jerseys, while Wuyuan wore blue jerseys. The two teams were very distinct.

Following the whistle of the referee, the basketball was thrown into the air by the referee. Takenori Akagi and Takenori Takenori, who were standing in the middle circle, jumped up almost at the same time, and reached out to pat the basketball.

"It's started, it's started!" Haruko shouted excitedly when the game started.

In the court, following Takenori Akagi's shout, the basketball was shot by him and flew towards Kakuda quickly. The latter received the basketball, and did not drop the ball immediately to advance, but waited for his teammates for a while, and paused. A few seconds later, the ball was passed to Yasuharu Yasuda, and Yasuda took possession of the ball and started to advance.

"Start the attack!" Takenori Akagi won the jump ball and encouraged himself and his teammates. After shouting, Takenori Akagi quickly rushed towards the inside line of Wuyuan.

"Sakuragi, look, my brother is the center forward, and the center forward is the character closest to the basket on the court, and it is the most advantageous offensive position."

"At the same time, the center is also the last line of defense and the initiator of the transition."

"My brother often said that 'those who can dominate the basket can dominate the court'."

"Now the guy who dribbles is called a guard."

As the game started, Akagi Haruko began to tell novice Sakuragi the basic rules of basketball and the basic positioning of players on the court.The lectures given to Sakuragi Flower Road before were empty words after all. Sakuragi did not have a systematic understanding of basketball games, but now, with practical examples, it is easy for Sakuragi to form a basic understanding of basketball.

After all, it was Haruko who patiently explained, and Sakuragi Hanamichi listened carefully, while keeping his eyes on the court.

While the two were talking, the Xiangbei players had advanced to the frontcourt.Satoru Kakuda, who was acting as a power forward, mentioned the high position and made a pick-and-roll for Yasuharu Yasuda. Yasuda, who got the gap, broke through with the ball himself.

But Yasuda's moving speed is too slow after all. Although the training in Xiangbei during this period was very difficult, this first grade has also persisted, but Yasuda Yasuharu, who is mediocre, has improved his physical fitness after just a few months of training. Very average.

Yasuda, who used the pick-and-roll to break through, was caught up by Wuyuan's defenders and intercepted.

Yasuda himself just tried it, seeing that the breakthrough was not successful, he quickly passed the ball to Miyagi Ryota.

After receiving the basketball, Miyagi didn't hesitate at all, and made a shooting action near the three-point line against the defender. The defender was deceived by Miyagi's fake move, and subconsciously straightened his back to block the shot, but In the next second, Miyagi bowed and quickly broke through.

While Miyagi's fake move fooled the defenders, there was a little exclamation from the audience, as if Miyagi's move surprised them very much.

Miyagi Ryota's breakthrough speed is quite fast. When he was in the middle distance, Miyagi tried to make a quick stop jump shot. This is Jinguji Budo's best offensive method. Miyagi has been coveting it for a long time, and he has been training for a long time.

"Snapped!"

"Shh!"

Miyagi Ryota's luck was not bad, the basketball hit the backboard and scored the first goal for Shonhoku High School.

"Good job, Miyagi."

"It seems that Coach Anxi's arrangement is not wrong!"

When Takenori Akagi returned to the defense, he did not forget to encourage Miyagi Ryota, and everyone in Xiangbei began to retreat quickly.

"Haruko, what was that just now, it's that," Hanamichi Sakuragi said, showing Haruko the fake shot that Miyagi made just now, a little curious.

"That's Ryota Miyagi, Senior Miyagi. Fake moves are an offensive method to deceive the defenders so that he can break through and shoot."

"It's a very practical and routine technique."

Haruko explained something, and then shouted loudly, cheering for Xiangbei.Yingmu Huadao scratched his head and whispered: "It's a fake move, it looks cool."

"Let Big Brother teach me later!"

Hanamichi Sakuragi didn't care about the practicality of the court at all. The reason why he was curious about Miyagi's fake move just now was just because Miyagi's move just now looked quite cool and attracted a wave of attention from the audience. .

Now Sakuragi only plays for Haruko, and the skills he is interested in must be "show off".Miyagi's fake action just now met his needs and made Sakuragi very interested.

On the court, the offense and defense were in transition. Wuyuan's second-year guard Dai Ming faced Miyagi Ryota's defense. After receiving the ball, he directly made a mid-range shot. Ten seconds after Xiangbei scored, he immediately responded.

Deming of Wuyuan wears a blue No. 5 jersey. He is about 180cm tall, which is much taller than Miyagi. Moreover, Deming has an excellent wingspan and good shooting ability. When he catches and shoots, Miyagi The city has nothing to do.

As the basketball entered the net, Shohoku once again took control of the ball, and the player holding the ball forward was still Yasuda Yasuharu instead of Miyagi Ryota.

"Don't rush to retreat, press up, press up all!"

Off the court, Wuyuan's Coach Hayama shouted loudly at the players on the court. This refined coach in a suit and with slightly white hair gave instructions directly to the players.

All of a sudden, Wuyuan's defensive formation changed rapidly. When Xiangbei played the first round of offense, Wuyuan used the zone defense, but after Coach Hayama gave the order, Wuyuan directly adopted the full-court pressing tactic.

And for the young Yasuda Yasuharu, Wuyuan directly went to two players to double-team, and Akagi who ran to the frontcourt was directly emptied.

Yasuharu Yasuda failed to cross the center line at the first time and was flanked, so he could only dribble the ball hard to find a gap for the pass.But Yasuda, who is only in the first grade, is only 163cm tall and weighs only 55kg, how could Yasuda be the opponent of Deming and those people.

The ball didn't pass halftime, and it was directly intercepted by Wu Yuan's stealer, and he counterattacked easily.

Xiangbei served again, and the basketball was still given to Yasuharu Yasuda. As before, as soon as Yasuda got the ball, he was immediately double-teamed by two people. The same scene was repeated again. He was robbed directly near the basket, and then made a layup.

"┗|｀O'|┛哩~~Xiangbei, what are you doing?!"

"What is this hitting?"

"Hey, that kid, stop holding the ball, you can't hold it!"

Xiangbei lost the ball again, and there was a burst of wailing from the audience. Some fans in Xiangbei directly cursed loudly, and boos poured into the field.After all, Yasuharu Yasuda who lost the ball was just a teenager. Yasuda Yasuharu was booed by the audience, his face was flushed, and he dared not speak, so he could only go to the backcourt silently and prepare to catch the ball again.

"This Wuyuan, they have studied us before."

"If Yasuda is allowed to dribble the ball past half court, although he can't break through if someone responds, it's still no problem to let the ball run."

"Wuyuan went directly to the full court to press, and Yasuda was at a considerable disadvantage. His body is too thin, and his dribbling skills are only at different levels, and he can't break through at all."

In the rest area of ​​Xiangbei, Mitsui Shou sat on the bench, saw this scene on the court, and said to Budou beside him.

"Well, it should be, it would be better if Miyagi holds the ball, but what Coach Anzai means is that he wants to use this game to exercise Yasuda's ball control and Miyagi's offense."

"With the same positioning, they must find a way to help Yasuda break through."

"If it's a simple substitution and possession of the ball, it's meaningless for this lineup to play."

While talking to Mitsui Shou, Jinguji Budo glanced at Coach Anzai.Coach Anxi's desire to train young players is known to almost all players in Xiangbei. Obviously, Coach Anxi's ambition is not limited to the county competition.

But basketball is something that is not dependent on hard work or must be effective. Talent is very important.

Obviously, with Yasuda Yasuharu's physical fitness and dribbling ability, his talent in basketball is really not high.Moreover, Yasuda's playing time is also very short. He only started playing in junior high school, sat on the bench until high school, and only started to officially play games in high school. Yasuda himself has already lost a lot to his peers.

In the semi-finals of the County Competition, Yasuharu Yasuda was not used to it at all.Not only Yasuda Yasuharu, Shiozaki and Kakuda were also very uncomfortable on the court at this time, and Wuyuan's man-to-man defense made Shiozaki and Kakuda disappear without a trace.

Although the score was only 4 points behind, but on the scene, it was one-sided.

"Beep!"

With a sharp whistle, the referee gave Yasuharu Yasuda an offensive foul.It turned out that Yasuda, who got the ball in the backcourt again, was a little annoyed by Wuyuan's defenders. When he forced a breakthrough, he moved a lot, with obvious elbow movements.

"Coach Ye Shan is still not easy to deal with. It seems that the training will not go on."

"Let's open up enough points before training."

"It's just that, the training effect will be a bit worse."

Coach Anxi listened to the whistle, sighed in his heart, stood up silently and walked towards the referee's seat, asking Xiang for a substitution.When Coach Anzai returned to the rest area, he directly ordered Budo and Mitsui Hisashi to replace Shiozaki and Yasuda.As for Kakuta Satoru, he still stayed on the court and played the role of power forward.

"Xiangbei High School, request a substitution!"

A clear female voice spread the sound to the whole audience through the loudspeaker.Presumably in the rest area, Budou Jinguji and Hisashi Mitsui were walking towards the stadium. As the two appeared, amazing cheers suddenly erupted from the audience.

"Jinguji Budo! Jinguji Budo!"

"Jinguji Budo! Jinguji Budo!"

"Mitsui Shou! Mitsui Shou!"

"Mitsui Shou! Mitsui Shou!"

The audience cheered the names of the two in disarray. The enthusiastic cheers surprised Yingmu Huadao, looked around curiously, and praised: "Brother is so popular! He is Such a famous player?"

Although Haruko had told Sakuragi before that Budo was the ace player in Shonhoku, but Budo didn't play, and Huadao didn't really believe it, but now he heard the cheers, and he didn't believe it.

"That's great, almost everyone in the audience is shouting their names."

"My heart has become a little hot!"

Mito Yohei and Takamiya Wang also looked around curiously, their faces full of surprise, following the shouts of the audience, Yohei was infected by such an atmosphere and felt a little excited.

On the court, Budo and Mitsui Hisashi high-fived Yasuda and Shiozaki, and then walked onto the court.

"What's the style of play today, shall I beat them?" Mitsui Shou shook his arms, flexed his muscles and bones, and asked Wu Dao beside him.

"Let me play halftime. There is a junior who came to watch the game today. Let's show a little bit."

Bu Dao replied indifferently, his eyes swept to the auditorium, and he saw Yingmu Huadao and others at a glance.There's no way, the red hair is too eye-catching, and those guys are still standing in front of the first row of railings in the auditorium.

"The game has just started now, cheer up!" Wuyuan's captain shouted to cheer up his teammates. All the Wuyuan players looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, staring closely at Jinguji Budo and Mitsui Shou two.

Wuyuan's possession of the ball was given to No. 5 Deming after several transfers of the basketball. To defend Deming was Mitsui Shou who had just played.Looking at Deming holding the ball in front of him, Mitsui Shou smiled and hooked his fingers towards the opponent, signaling the opponent to attack.

Mitsui's provocation obviously had some effect. Deming quickly dropped the ball with the ball and leaned directly on Mitsui's body, trying to press towards the inside. However, Mitsui is not a short guard, no matter his height or Physically, he is even better than the 180cm Deming!

"Oh!"

After a muffled sound, Mitsui Shou didn't take a step back. Instead, he took a step forward and approached Deming, stretching out his hand to pat the basketball.Deming also sensed that something was wrong, and quickly joined the ball without even looking at the basket, and directly shot it.The shot, which was forced into desperation, was not accurate at all, and the basketball directly collapsed out of the frame and fell to the side.

Akagi Takenori yelled, jumped up high and grabbed the rebound, and then passed it directly to Jinguji Budo.

After receiving the basketball, Jinguji Budao quickly advanced with the ball, but his speed was not fast, and all the Wuyuan players could keep up. In just a few seconds, Wuyuan completed the defense, and Budao had just Take the ball across half court and press toward the three-point line.

"I won't let you pass!"

The player defending Jinguji Budao is Wuyuan's No. [-], and Budao has no impression of this opponent.The opponent was short and spread out his arms, as if he would never let the martial arts break through.

"If it was before, with your defense, I would have shot directly."

"But today, I'll give you a chance to guard against me, and you have to make good use of it."

From the corner of his eye, Jinguji Budao glanced at Sakuragi Flower Road in the stands, and said with a low smile.Without waiting for anyone to reply, he leaned over and made a breakthrough. The speed of the opponent's follow-up was also very good, but it was still a beat slower than martial arts.

If it was in the past, the opponent's half-beat slow already meant that the defense failed, and Wu Dao could use his own speed to overwhelm the opponent.But today, Budao didn't do this. After two steps forward, Budao suddenly stopped, straightened up, and looked towards the basket.

Seeing this scene, the defenders slammed on the brakes and rushed towards Wu Dao, but Wu Yuan's No. [-] still had some brains, knowing that Wu Dao might be a fake move, so when he rushed forward, his feet did not leave the floor, and he used big strides to go up The way forward, instead of stupidly flying to catch the ball.

Sure enough, Jinguji Budao, who stopped suddenly, started suddenly and passed the opponent in an instant. Wuyuan's No. 4 defended hard. This time, without any spare power, he rushed towards Budao to try to defend.

However, Jinguji Budao's quick start was only two steps forward. When he noticed that the defensive player was following up, Budao stopped suddenly again and dribbled back.One rushed forward, one pulled back, and in an instant, the two were separated by a distance of several meters.

The defensive player's reflexes are quite developed, and his brain reacted, and he wanted to stop and catch up with Wu Dao, but his body was down.

Wu Yuan No. [-], who was about to pounce back, stumbled on his legs, fell to the ground, and slid far away.

Jinguji Budao Shi Shiran adjusted his breath and rhythm, and then shot.

The basketball spun and flew towards the basket, and with a crisp netting sound, the basketball hit the net.
