Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 167 Role swapping, the lone wolf towards the apex!

The Shonhoku players on the side of the conversation between Coach Anzai and Budo Jinguji also heard it, but most of them were in the dark and didn't know what Budo and Coach Anzai were talking about.

However, there are also some people who understand. Mitsui Shou stood up, came to Budao's side and patted Budao's shoulder, saying: "It doesn't matter whether you win or lose. You can do your best in the second half. How far we can go depends on you." It's over!"

"When you need to rest, pass the ball to me, I will be your strongest shield!"

Mitsui Shou could comprehend the meaning of Jinguji Budo, and he could understand the thoughts in Budo's heart.In fact, before studying in the United States, Mitsui Shou was as proud as Budo, and was full of confidence in his own strength, but after a trip to the United States, Mitsui Shou already knew the vastness of the world.

In other words, the proud young man who "I am number one in the world" has been convinced by the facts. Mitsui knows that his original style of play will not go far, and he also knows that his talent cannot support his original style of play, so Mitsui Shou has changed his style of play early on and developed new techniques.

But Budo is different. Ever since Mitsui Shou knew about Budo, Budo has never encountered any insurmountable opponent.Even Shinomiya Tianye from Lingnan High School couldn't really suppress Budo's attack.

The upper limit of his talent is not yet visible at this stage.

Coach Anxi's desire to change martial arts is obviously because he has preset a talent limit for martial arts in his heart.

After all, in this era, there are too few players of the yellow race who stand out in the sport of basketball. The strongest players of the yellow race of this generation are all gathered in the country across the sea, but even they are not the best in the world. The strong group of players.

How far can yellow players go?In fact, Coach Anzai is not optimistic about Budo from the bottom of his heart, but facing such a young and ambitious Jinguji Budo, will Coach Anzai stop him?Now coach Anxi, dare to stop it? !
The intermission lasted nearly 20 minutes. After the Xiangbei starters had a 10-minute break, Coach Anzai began to arrange the tactics for the second half.However, Xiangbei's tactics are also very simple. On the offensive end, the offense revolves around martial arts, and it is enough to adjust the standing and running positions on the field according to the needs of martial arts.

On the defensive end, Coach Anzai plans to use the standard 41 zone defense, that 1, that is, Budo will go against Shinomiya Tianye in Lingnan alone, and the rest will strengthen the defense of the inside line and consolidate the inside strength.Lingnan High School does not have an outstanding three-point shooter. This is also the reason why Coach Anxi chose the 41-point defense.

Xiandao and Shinomiya Tianye may indeed have a certain three-point ability, but their three-point ability is definitely not enough to support Lingnan's offensive firepower in the second half. It is possible to steal a shot occasionally, but the three-pointer should be used as a regular offense Means, in the entire Kanagawa high school basketball world, there are only two and a half people.

Mitsui Shou, Jinguji Budo, and half of Fujima.

When Xiangbei High School was arranging the tactics for the second half, Lingnan was also arranging the tactics for the second half, which was different from the way that coach Anxi of Xiangbei bet on Jinguji Budao.Lingnan, who likes to play singles, plans to play team basketball in the second half instead.

"Break through the ball! Xiandao, Zhicao and Ikegami, the three of you are looking for your most comfortable shooting position on the offensive end!"

"After Tian Ye breaks through, if you have a chance, go up by yourself. If the opportunity is not good, pass the ball to an open teammate. Jinguji Budao can't stop you alone. Xiangbei will definitely use the strategy of zone defense to limit your offense!"

"Those who catch the ball in open positions must shoot decisively! I'm not afraid that you won't make the shot, but you're afraid that you won't be able to make the shot."

"Yuzhu, there is no player under the basket to help you, everything can only be done by yourself!"

"I believe that you will never lose to that guy Takenori Akagi in rebounding!"

Coach Tian Gang held a tactical board in his hand, arranging tactics for the players.And the defensive tactics arranged by Coach Anxi were also expected by him. It has to be said that Coach Tian Gang is not much worse than Coach Anxi in terms of the overall situation of the coach.

"Shohoku's offense in the second half should still revolve around Mitsui Hisashi and Jinguji Budo. These two have long ranges. When defending, you must pay attention to their three-pointers. You don’t have to think about blocking the shot, give enough interference, and don’t be broken and out of position!”

"Mitsui Shou runs a lot, and his physical fitness can't support him to play the whole court with that style of play."

"In the final analysis, the most troublesome point of attack in northern Hunan is Jinguji Budo."

"I plan to let Zhicao and Ikegami fill in. Tian Ye, when you are defending, put more energy into defending shots. If you break through, don't put too much effort into it."

As Coach Tian Gang spoke, he squinted at the Xiangbei people on the other side of the field.

"Yes!" The Lingnan team members who received the instructions all agreed, and then, under the signal of Coach Tian Gang, they stayed on the bench to rest and recover their strength.

The intermission time passed quickly, and as the time completely emptied, the referee returned to the court.

With a sharp whistle sounded, the second half of the game officially began.

The players of the two teams have not changed, and the coach has not made any arrangements for substitutions. They are still the same group of players from the first half.

At this stage, the depth of the bench in Xiangbei is not much different from that in Lingnan, but Lingnan has already been strengthened, but Xiangbei...

In the center of the court, Takenori Akagi and Jun Uozumi stood on the center line, and players from the two teams were scattered around, waiting for the kick-off.Akagi and Uozumi looked at each other in silence, their eyes full of fighting spirit.

"The protagonists of this game are actually us! Akagi." Jun Uozumi lowered his weight slightly and said suddenly.

"Humph!"

"Are you confused by playing ball?! How can we be the protagonists of this game?"

As Akagi said, he turned his head and glanced at Jinguji Budou who was standing not far from the side, and Shinomiya Tanno who was facing him, and said.

"You will understand, it is the two of us who lead the game!"

Uozumi had just finished speaking, and before Takenori Akagi could reply, the referee had already come to the two of them and blew the whistle to start the game.

Uozumi and Akagi immediately stopped talking, held their breath, and waited for the kick-off.

Seeing that both teams were ready, the referee threw the ball into the air after a whistle.

"Hoo hoo hoo hoo!!!"

"Ahhhhh!!"

Two completely different roars sounded from the field, Uozumi and Akagi jumped up with roars, and slapped the basketball flying into the air.Two big hands, one in front and one behind, patted the basketball almost at the same time.

"Huh!" Akagi Takenori groaned, the strength of his arm suddenly increased, and he actually pressed the fish to catch the ball.

Although there was a huge shift in the direction of the basketball flying out, Ryota Miyagi was much faster than Tomoyuki Uekusa, and grabbed the basketball in his arms before the opponent.

"Quick attack!" Miyagi picked it up and shouted loudly. When he shouted, Jinguji Budo was already running forward. At this moment, in just a few seconds, Budo was already Close to the three-point line.

The basketball was quickly released from Miyagi Ryota's hands, and flew directly over Budo.Shinomiya Tianye followed closely behind Budo, took advantage of Budo's ability to jump and catch the ball, quickly bypassed Budo, came to Budo and put on a defensive posture.

The position where Budo catches the ball is about one meter inside the three-point line. The basketball has just started, and he doesn't stop at all, and shoots directly.

"What?! Shot?"

"The teammates didn't go there?! Why is he in such a hurry?"

Jinguji Budao's sudden attack caught Shinomiya and Tianye by surprise.The ball has just started, even if you want to fight martial arts, you shouldn't be so anxious, such a shot is really too reckless!

"Shua!" In the next second, a clear and crisp network sound came to everyone's ears.

"It's normal to make a shot. Jinguji Budao's shooting level is already very good, and there is nothing wrong with making a shot."

"But his shot selection is really bad, too reckless."

"I had this feeling before, this guy's shooting is beautiful, but..."

Coach Tian Gang's face was surprised at first, and then calmed down.

"Good shot, Budao, but it will be more stable when Akagi is in place." Mitsui Shou encouraged, and then began to turn around and return to defense.

"Shooting opportunities are not always available. Under Shinomiya's defense, I need to seize every opportunity. When Akagi comes up, Shinomiya will be fully prepared."

Bu Dao didn't say these words, nodded silently towards Mitsui Shou, and then began to return to the field to defend.

In the second half, Lingnan High School's offense was not in a hurry at all. The players began to enter the frontcourt one by one. Shinomiya Tianye took the ball and pressed it to the back of the team and began to advance slowly.

A few seconds later, Tamano Shinomiya dribbled the ball into the frontcourt and approached the three-point line. Budo was still standing half a step inside the three-point line, focusing on defending Tianno Shinomiya's breakthrough with the ball.

Everyone in Lingnan began to look for their most comfortable position on the field after Shinomiya Tianye entered the front field.Yuzhu is close to the three-second zone and can rush in to grab rebounds at any time.Sendo is in the middle distance on the side of the free throw line, and Mitsui Shou is standing in front of him.Zhicao Zhizhi slipped to the bottom, and Ryoji Ikegami also hovered near the three-second zone, waiting for the opportunity.

Shinomiya Tianye saw his teammates complete their positioning, and quickly dropped the ball to break through.His breakthrough direction is the most comfortable direction for Shinomiya Tianye, the right side.

"Boom!" There was no accident, Budo, who had defended Shinomiya Tanno for half the court, was already familiar with the opponent's offensive style. The moment Shinomiya Tianye dropped the ball, Budo had already slid to keep up, and the two bodies collided violently , Wu Dao couldn't hold back the opponent's strength, so he took a step back unconsciously.

At the same time, Shinomiya Tianye still maintained an excellent dribbling posture, a simple dribble under the crotch, and quickly changed direction.

Although Budo can't support the opponent's strength, Budo's defensive awareness is quite good, and the opponent's disguised martial arts can be judged from the opponent's subtle body movements.At the same time as the body stuck to it again, his fingers poked at the basketball.

But Budo had just made a shot to try to steal it, and Shinomiya Tianye flipped his wrist while dribbling the ball, and gave the ball directly to the side.The basketball flew directly over half of the court, and fell into the hands of the outside line Xiandao precisely.

When Xiandao took the ball, Mitsui Hisashi, who was defending him, was also surprised, and then there was a look of surprise on his face, and he directly stuck it up.

Xiandao is undoubtedly one of the most promising new star players in Lingnan, and his personal ability is also exceptional. There is no doubt that Xiandao is also the kind of ace player at the national level.

But these are meaningless to Mitsui Shou.

Because he, Mitsui Hisashi, is also the ace at the national level, and his strength will definitely not be weaker than anyone else.

Xiandao had just taken the ball, but Mitsui Shou had already put it on quickly, without giving the opponent any space to drop the ball. Moreover, Mitsui Shoushi's defensive angle was also very tricky, blocking the strong and letting go of the weak, and his defensive position was biased to the right of Xiandao.

Xiandao raised the ball above his head with both hands, shook it a few times, but couldn't find a comfortable landing position.

However, at this moment, a figure entered the peripheral vision of Immortal Dao.Regardless of the discomfort of falling the ball, Xiandao directly dropped the ball with his back, and then quickly broke through at a high speed, while Mitsui Shou was just about to chase, and his body directly hit Shinomiya Tianye's solid body.

"Oh!"

With a muffled sound, Mitsui Shou was stopped directly.Surprised, Mitsui turned his head and saw that it was Shinomiya Tano who picked and rolled.

"This guy?! Why is he here?!" However, Mitsui didn't wait for Mitsui to come back to his senses. After the pick-and-roll, Shinomiya Tano went straight down, while Xiandao followed the arc and ran towards the other side.The attack direction of the two people in two directions, Bu Dao immediately chose to defend Xian Dao, and Mitsui Shou chased Shinomiya Tianye after a short hesitation.

Bu Dao clearly knew that Fang Xiandao must not be given a vacancy, and Mitsui Shou also knew that Shinomiya Tano must not let him into the inside line.

However, although both of them knew that their opponents were tricky, they still couldn't effectively stop them.

Xiandao took advantage of Shinomiya Tianye's perfect pick-and-roll to get a big gap, and Budao stepped forward to defend, but his position could not prevent Xiandao from passing the ball.

The basketball flew into the interior, and Shinomiya Tianno, who was cutting in, just raised his hand and easily grabbed the ball in his hand, then got close to the basket and jumped directly.

Although Mitsui Shou made up the defense in time, his bounce was far worse than Shinomiya Tano's. At this moment, Akagi on the inside line was also caught by a fish and couldn't make up for the first time.

The two watched as Shinomiya Tianye picked the basket and scored, but did not make an effective defense.

In the second half, the completely different offensive methods of the two teams have already established the offensive tone of the two teams.

On the Xiangbei side, the style of play remains the same, relying on Jinguji Budo's excellent personal ability, frequently scoring outside shots.On the other hand, in Lingnan High School, they played team basketball instead, and Shinomiya Tianye broke through to split the ball and mobilized all the players.

Wu Dao's personal offense occasionally misses, but on Lingnan's side, Chishang, Zhicao, and even Xiandao's offense can't keep hitting all of them.

With the frequent appearance of rebounds, the focus of the on-court confrontation has shifted to the competition for inside rebounds.

It wasn't until now that Akagi Takenori really understood Uozumi's meaning, and his attention, which was a little distracted, began to concentrate quickly.

He originally thought that this match was just an ordinary blue-collar worker, but he didn't expect that the key to victory in this match would actually be an inside line!
