Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 249 The third round, the darkest moment in Aichi Prefecture!

In the stadium, the offense and defense changed after Miyagi Ryota scored.

The Kanagawa County team uses a standard zone defense. Uozumi and Akagi Takenori are on both sides of the paint area on the baseline, while Hanagata and Takasago Kazuma are on both sides of the paint area at the free throw line. As for Miyagi Ryota has not been assigned a specific location.On the defensive end, Coach Tianoka gave Miyagi enough freedom.

Shimane's defender advanced with the ball, and after entering the frontcourt, he observed the Kanagawa team's defense.He felt that Kanagawa's defensive strength on the outside was relatively weak, and realized that this might be an opportunity to attack.

After entering the frontcourt, Shimane's guard immediately passed the ball sideways and gave it to his own small forward. The latter caught the ball at a mid-to-long distance on the side of the court. After taking the ball, he shot immediately without hesitation.However, when he was shooting, Huaxing not far away took a few steps towards him and raised his hand to interfere.

Although Hanakata's position is impossible to cover Shimane's players, the sudden rush of tall Hanakata really startled the opponent, and his shooting posture was deformed.

"Dang~" There was a clear sound of iron striking, and in the next second, Jun Uozumi and Takenori Akagi under the basket instantly stuck Shimane's inside line behind him, and the rebound was easily caught by Takenori Akagi middle.

The frontcourt rebound was lost, and Shimane's players began to retreat quickly. Akagi Takenori, who got the rebound, was not in a hurry to pass the ball. He waited until Shimane and others retreated to the midfield position before giving the ball to Miyagi. hands.

"Senior Akagi, good job!"

"Start the attack!"

Miyagi Ryota shouted after receiving the basketball, controlled the ball and landed at the back of the retired team. After waiting for his teammates to enter the frontcourt, Miyagi Ryota slowly took the ball across the center line.

The unhurried attitude of controlling the ball made the coach Tian Gang on the sidelines look a little pale, and finally his expression was not as serious and scary as before.

"Although the offense at the opening goal was a bit unplanned, the rhythm of the game is still under control!"

"I'm not in vain."

Coach Tian Gang whispered in his heart, but at this moment, Miyagi dribbled the ball close to the three-point line, and after seeing his teammates finish positioning, he directly shot when he was more than one meter away from the three-point line .This sudden three-pointer made Coach Tian Gang startled, and stood up from his seat in a jerk.

"what?!"

Miyagi's choice of shot was beyond everyone's expectations. Not only Coach Tianoka who was sitting off the field, but even the opponents on the field were stunned. On the contrary, Uozumi and Akagi Takenori reacted quickly. At the moment of Miyagi's shot, he squeezed towards the inside line from two directions.

However, Miyagi's shots were always a bit hasty. Although Akagi and Uozumi reacted quickly, they were not as good as Shimane's insiders in terms of position.

"Dang~" With a soft sound, the basketball hit the edge of the frame and fell towards the outside.

At this time, Hanakata and Takasago Kazuma have also entered the inside line, Shimane's two inside line attention is on Uozumi and Akagi, which allows Hanagara and Takasago to easily cut into the basket.

All of a sudden, the four big men from Kanagawa prefecture, in groups of two, easily clamped down on Shimane's two inside laners. Can't even jump.And the rebound was easily caught by Huaxing.

Huaxing, who grabbed the rebound, didn't even dribble the ball, so he forced a layup with a hook and easily put the ball into the basket.

"Ohhhhh!!! Flower shape! Flower shape!"

With the second attack of Huagata succeeded, the local audience in Kanagawa Prefecture cheered.

"Well done, Hanakata!" Jun Uozumi and Hanakata clapped hands in celebration, and praised in a muffled voice.Akagi and Takasago on the side also boxed with Huaxing one after another to celebrate, and they showed a tacit understanding.

"Sure enough, our internal strength is much better than our opponent's!" Miyagi Yoshida has already started to retreat at this time. After several rounds of offense and defense, Miyagi Yoshita has realized that his team's internal strength is far superior to that of his opponent, and he is already planning to let go of the shot. .

However, at this moment, coach Tian Gang walked to the sidelines and shouted at Miyagi Ryota:

"Miyagi! What are you playing?! Defender, should you be playing like you?!"

"What is going on in your mind? I asked you to play. If you are going to attack, why didn't I let Shinomiya Tianye and the others play?!"

"You figure it out for me, what should you do on the court!"

Coach Tian Gang's roar was quite loud, and his voice even overwhelmed the cheers of the audience.Miyagi Ryota, who was returning to defense, unconsciously slowed down when he heard Coach Tianoka's roar.

He has been in high school for so long, and this is the first time he heard the roar of the coach on the court. When he played in Xiangbei before, coach Anzai would not directly shout from the sidelines like coach Tian Gang.Although it was a little unexpected that coach Tian Gang would yell from the sidelines, after hearing these words, Miyagi Ryota still used his brain to recall his handling of these few goals.

The problem is obvious and easy to be discovered. The key is whether Miyagi will reflect on himself and listen to the coach's words.

On the field, Miyagi Ryota did not respond to Coach Tianoka's words, but the pace of returning to defense was a little faster after Coach Tianoka sat back in the rest area.At the same time, the Shimane players also quickly went to the frontcourt. After using a high-position pick-and-roll, Shimane chose a high-position shot.

This time, Shimane's players played steadily and made precise mid-range attacks.

Between offense and defense, the basketball once again came to Miyagi Ryota's hands.When Miyagi crossed the center line with the ball, Coach Tianoka stood up from his seat again, walked to the sidelines, and watched Miyagi Ryota in the field.

Miyagi Ryota, who entered the front court, did not shoot blindly this time. After approaching the three-point line, he made a pick-and-roll gesture for the nearby flower shape. After the flower shape approached, he immediately started a breakthrough.

Although Miyagi Ryota is short, his speed is quite fast. With a flower-shaped pick-and-roll, the short and agile Miyagi Ryota broke through the line of defense in an instant, and then charged towards the inside.

His appearance immediately attracted the attention of Shimane's insiders, but just as they moved to defend, Miyagi sent the ball behind him with a back pass.At the middle distance not far behind Miyagi, Huaxing received the ball through the open space, took a second to adjust his posture, and then shot.

"Shua!" With a soft sound, the basketball was hollowed into the net.

Kanagawa County scored consecutively. Seeing this scene, Coach Tian Gang quietly returned to his seat and let out a sigh of relief.

"Coach, Miyagi Ryota has performed well during the training camp, and his shooting has also improved a lot."

"Combined with his breakthrough speed, facing a team like Shimane, it doesn't matter if he plays offensively."

"The result of the game will not change."

"Why restrict him?"

After Coach Tian Gang sat back on the seat, Shinomiya Tianye asked suddenly.

Shinomiya Tianye knew very well that Coach Tianoka was definitely not the kind of person to suppress players from other teams. If he wanted to suppress them, he would never let Miyagi play.In this ball, no matter whether Xiandao is allowed to take control or Fujima is allowed to take control, it is absolutely impossible for others to have an opinion.

And Shinomiya Tianye can also understand Coach Tianoka's intentions. He asked this just to prevent other players from having suspicions and misunderstanding Coach Tianoka.

Mitsui Hisashi, who was sitting not far away, was looking at Coach Tianoka with burning eyes. He was different from Shinomiya Tano. He really thought it would be good for Miyagi to exercise his offense in this game.On the contrary, Jinguji Budao seemed to have not heard the communication of the few people, and was dozing off while sitting on the seat with his chin resting on his hands.

"Humph!"

"Stupid question!"

"What do you think short players rely on to stand on the court?"

"Relying on that half-baked pull-up jumper? Or that fancy ultra-long three-pointer?"

"I tell you, tell you all, if a short player wants to gain a foothold on the court, he needs speed! It's awareness! It's vision! It's passing!"

"Of course you can attack, but the opportunity to attack must be good!"

"Attacking tough battles has never been something a point guard needs to do!"

"A good point guard does not need to score many points on the court, but he must allow his teammates to give full play to their strength."

"A point guard who can expand the advantages of his teammates is a good point guard. If I want him to attack, why don't I let Amu play and let him play?"

Coach Tian Gang's coaching ideas are in line with the basketball concept of this era, and everyone can understand what he said.Miyagi Ryota's height is less than 170cm, even as a guard, even in high school basketball, this height is short.

If Miyagi Ryota can't magnify his strengths and find out his position on the court, let alone college basketball, high school basketball will be the apex of Miyagi Ryota.Coach Tianoka has admired each other since Miyagi Junior High School. He does not want Miyagi Ryota to ruin his basketball career early because of the positioning of the court.

While everyone was chatting off the court, the situation in the court had begun to become clear. Kanagawa County's inside advantage was too great, and their defensive strategy also focused on the inside, forced by Kanagawa County's defensive pressure. On the offensive end, Shimane basically relies on outside shooting.

Once someone breaks into the inside lane, they will immediately be surrounded by four big guys. Not to mention shooting, even passing the ball will become extremely difficult after entering the inside lane.

After Miyagi Ryota was yelled at by Coach Tianoka, he decisively changed his style of play, and began to focus on ball control, support, and passing the ball to split the defense after breaking through.

Although he occasionally takes shots, most of the time he only chooses to shoot when he is open, and his style of play has become quite stable.

Psychologically, Miyagi Ryota really hopes that he can play like Jinguji Budo, but he is also very clear that he is not Jinguji Budo. Blind imitation will only make him completely lose the possibility of standing on the football field.

In the match with four insiders including Uozumi and Akagi, Miyagi Ryota can clearly grasp the strengths and weaknesses of the team. In such a team, Miyagi Ryota can easily find his position , and make your own changes for it.

The team played by Kanagawa is very bulky. Miyagi Ryota not only needs to suppress his own rhythm to adapt to other players, but also needs to use his own breakthrough to help his teammates enter a suitable attacking position.

The Miyagi at this time is the Miyagi the team needs, not Miyagi Liangtian himself. His transformation is also seen by everyone in Xiangbei.

When he was in Shonhoku before, Miyagi Ryota found his position on the court, let alone find his position on the court. For Shohoku, Miyagi's role is only to "hold the ball"."Ball control" is more superficial than the literal meaning. His greatest role on the court is to carry the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

In the stadium, as the game progressed, the point difference between the Kanagawa Prefecture team and the Shimane team began to slowly widen. In order to deal with this situation, Shimane’s coach also tried to make some changes on the defensive end, dispatching Two players went to double-team Ryota Miyagi who held the ball.

But at this time, Miyagi gave full play to his speed advantage, became slippery, and would never give his opponent a chance to double-team.

After all, it is possible to break through Sanno Industry's full-court pressure in the future. The second-generation captain of the post-Shohoku era, Miyagi is in the first grade of high school and has already begun to display his talents.

At the end of the first half, the Kanagawa prefectural team had a 15-point lead over their opponents, and in the second half, this advantage became bigger and bigger.In the end, the Kanagawa prefectural team defeated Shimane with an overwhelming advantage of 103:62 and advanced to the second round.

The next day, Saturday, Saturday, the Kanagawa prefectural team faced the Shiga prefectural team at the same stadium.

Shiga, an inland county in the central part of Neon Honshu Island, has been in the middle of the third round of the autumn national sports competitions over the years. If the IH team is used as a benchmark, it belongs to the level of the bottom of the top 8.

On this day's game, Coach Tianoka is still thinking about training. The lineup on the field has changed greatly from the previous day. Coach Tianoka considers the physical distribution of the players, and the big center Jun Uozumi and Akagi in the team take turns. , In the inside position, Coach Tianoka arranged Hainan's Maekawa Daiki, Hanakata and Takasago.

On the outside line, the duo of Fujima and Mu Shenyi was sent.

The team attributes of the Shiga representative team belong to the kind of small and quick-witted style of play, and there is no traditional "big center" in the team. The game is also as Coach Tianoka expected at the beginning. Kanagawa Prefecture had an absolute advantage in the first half of the game.

Mu Shenichi and Fujima's internal and external connections, combined with the stable mid-range shot of the flower shape and Maekawa Daiki and Takasago Kazuma under the basket, Kanagawa County blossomed more on the offensive end and was unstoppable at all. The end of the first half At the time, Kanagawa had an absolute advantage with 54:36.

However, in the second half, several of Shiga's outside players broke out together, narrowing the point difference between the two teams to 10 points at one point, but they were immediately suppressed by Mu Shenyi.No one in Xiao Kuailing's team could withstand Mu Shenyi's strong attack. Under Mu Shenyi's performance, the point difference between the two teams was once again widened.

At the end of the game, the score of the two teams came to 112:71. In this 40-minute, first and second half game system, the Kanagawa County team showed absolute dominance on the offensive end.

After the second round, the Kanagawa County team will also meet the first opponent worthy of attention-Aichi County in the third round, 16 to 8.

"Ho~~ Our team from Kanagawa County is really strong!"

"Today's game was won easily again, even the aces of the team didn't play!"

"That's right! For two consecutive days, Shinomiya Tianye and Jinguji Budao watched from the sidelines, and even Genius Xiandao didn't play."

"Tomorrow's game will be against Aichi County. I feel sorry for them. They actually met our Kanagawa county team."

After the match between Shonhoku and Shiga, some fans from Kanagawa Prefecture left the field. In the aisle, several people talked loudly, for fear that others would not know that they were locals from Kanagawa Prefecture.

Not far from where these people passed by, a group of young people in pink and white sportswear were sitting on the seats, listening to the discussions of those people with gloomy expressions.

"Damn it! How dare you underestimate us in Aichi County!"

"Zhu Xing, tomorrow, you must give those people some color."

A team member from Aichi County said to Zhu Xingda in the team after the audience who were discussing walked away.

"." Zhu Xingda heard the words, but didn't speak. His face, like his teammates, was very ugly.
