Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 258 Unstoppable shot? !

The sudden appearance of Xiandao was not expected by Zebei Eiji at the beginning. He had already passed through Xiandao, and the opponent was able to catch up. It is not that he has never encountered a player with this speed, but the previous Xiandao obviously Not listed here.

"This guy... has made great progress in just a few months!"

Eiji Zebei took a deep look at Immortal Dao, did not speak, and turned his head back to defend, but his vigilance against Immortal Dao had also multiplied in his heart.

Akita County retreated very quickly.

Akagi had just received the basketball and hadn't passed it to Mu Shenyi. Fukatsu Kazunari and Matsumoto Minoru on the outside had already crossed the center line. When Mu Shenyi went to the inside to meet Akagi and got the basketball, Akita The five players in the county have already crossed the halfway line, and the faster ones have even returned to their half-court defense.

"Akita County's return to defense is so fast!"

"No chance to play fast break!"

Off the court, Kenji Fujima couldn't help sighing softly as he looked at the Akita County people who had returned to defense, shouting that it was a pity.

"Fighting against such a strong team, there are often not many opportunities for fast breaks."

"Steals and blocks near the basket are impossible to have fast break opportunities."

"However, for the Kanagawa County team currently on the court, fast break is not the best solution."

Shinomiya Tianye heard the regret in Fujima's tone, looked at the field intently and said.Coach Tian Gang next to him also nodded with a smile when he heard the words, and took this opportunity to mention the players:
"To play, you must formulate a corresponding tactical system according to the characteristics of the players. Blindly fast is not the right way."

"Akagi is the kind of traditional center. Although his movement speed is good, there is no way to perfectly fit the fast break system."

"The players in Xiangbei should be very clear about this."

"Shohoku's fast attack is often centered on Jinguji Budo and Mitsui Shou. To put it bluntly, there are too few offensive points in Xiangbei, and positional warfare suffers."

"But in this team on the court, there are three people who can hold the ball. Whether it is Mu Shenyi, Xiandao or Mitsui Hisashi, they all have the ability to attack with the ball."

"Flower shape also has good mid-range shooting ability."

"Under such circumstances, we will have more possibilities to attack if we fight positional warfare."

As soon as Coach Tianoka was talking to the players, the players from the Kanagawa prefectural team on the court had already pushed forward.After entering the frontcourt with the ball, Mu Shen did not launch a tentative attack. Instead, he quickly sent the ball to Mitsui Shou, and at the same time quickly ran inside.

After receiving the ball, Mitsui Shou didn't intend to drop the ball and play singles. The basketball stayed in his hands for less than a second, and he directly threw the ball to Xiandao who had just run to the top of the arc.At the same time, as soon as Mu Shen, who cut inside, knew that he could not catch the ball inside, he changed his direction, and with the help of the inside flower-shaped pick-and-roll without the ball, he went to the bottom corner on one side of the court, and an open space appeared.

As soon as Mu Shen moved to the bottom corner, the fairy at the top of the arc made a false pass and sent the ball towards Mu Shenyi.

As soon as Mu Shen got the ball, Fukatsu Kazunari who was chasing him was still about two meters away from him.Mu Shen, who was at the three-point line, took the ball with both hands in one fell swoop, jumped up across the far-flung Shenjin Yicheng, and rushed forward.

The distance between the two of them is too far. If Fukatsu Kazunari is not more active, it will become Mu Shen's open shot.

However, Shenjin's actions were obviously within Mu Shenyi's expectation. Mu Shenyi who tricked Shenjin suddenly dropped the ball and broke through, and directly stopped and shot a jumper at the mid-range position.

Mu Shenyi’s CIC has been specially practiced during the training camp before Qiuzhi Guoti. Coach Tian Gang’s coaching ideas are very clear. As a guard, ball control is the foundation, but shooting is also necessary. You don’t need it, but when you have the opportunity When it appears, you cannot fail to grasp it.

Mu Shen, who has been relying on his body and relying on his strength for food, has improved significantly in his shooting after this period of special training.

"Shh!"

With a crisp netting sound, the basketball hit the net.

"Beautiful! Amu!"

Everyone in Kanagawa County began to return to defense. Xiandao and Mitsui Hisashi gave Mushen a high-five to celebrate. Their Kanagawa County took the lead in scoring points, which made several people very happy.

"asshole!"

"Zebei, what are you doing?"

"It was us who won the jump ball, but those in Kanagawa scored first."

"That pointy-haired one, can't you deal with it?"

Masashi Kawada at the basket showed a little displeasure when he saw Kanagawa scoring first, and yelled at Eiji Sawakita.What he said didn't really have a problem with Zebei, it was just a ball. With Kawada Masashi's golf business, how could he get angry like this.

The purpose of his saying these words was simply to stimulate Zebei Eiji. He knew very well what kind of character Zebei Eiji had.

"what?!"

"I can't handle it?!"

"how can that be!"

"Give me the ball and I'll get the points back in no time!"

Sure enough, being so provoked by Kawada Masashi, the proud Sawakita Eiji immediately quit. He has a high self-esteem, and he will never easily accept that he is inferior to others!

Hearing this, Masashi Kawada nodded towards Kazunari Fukatsu, and then quickly walked to the basket to deliver the ball.

"Okay! Then start attacking!"

Kazunari Fukatsu shouted after receiving the basketball and began to push forward with the ball.

The advance speed of Akita County is not very fast. They are a team that can be fast or slow, but steady positional warfare is what Sanno Industry is best at.

Soon, everyone in Akita prefecture came to the frontcourt. Fukatsu Kazunari got a hint from Kawada Masashi and decided to give Zebei Eiji another chance to perform. After reaching the frontcourt, he quickly passed the ball sideways to Zebei.Although Mu Shenyi was staring at Shenjin, he didn't have any intention of blocking Shenjin's side pass from the outside position.

The basketball came into the hands of Zebei Eiji smoothly. Zebei Eiji caught the ball with his back to the basket. After the basketball started, he turned around and swept the ball frame. Exploding the ball directly to break through, the breakthrough speed is fast, and the start is quite sudden.

"Um?!"

Zebei Eiji's body quickly surpassed Xiandao, and the broken Xiandao let out a light sigh, and hurriedly turned to catch up.

At the same time, Akagi Takenori on the inside saw Zebei Eiji's breakthrough and hurriedly raised his position to make up for the defense.Zebei's speed did not slow down, and he immediately approached the free throw line. This time, he was very concerned about Xiandao, and he was always paying attention to the position of Xiandao. Out of the corner of his eye, he could only see the shadow behind him. Zebei faced Akagi Takenori and joined directly. The ball takes off.

"Boy! You are so naive!"

Akagi Takenori yelled, spotted the position of the basketball, and jumped up to block the shot. His raised hands instantly blocked Zebei Eiji's sight, and at the same time blocked Zebei's shooting route.

Just when everyone thought that Zebei would eat this big hot pot from Takenori Akagi, Eiji Zebei, who took off from the free throw line, actually tossed the ball with his right hand, picked the ball, and picked it towards the basket.

"What?!" The basketball flew out of Zebei Eiji's hands in front of Akagi Takenori's eyes. Looking at the basket, he found that the basketball was falling into the net, and at the same time, there was a light sound.

"Ohhhh!!! What's that?!"

"Is that posture a shot?!"

"Obviously the shooting route is blocked, so the ball is scored?!"

The spectators who watched the game exclaimed when they saw this goal by Eiji Zebei. This is the first time they have seen such a shot let go.

At this time, Akagi was also quite surprised, because he had never seen such a shooting method before.

"What's that? Such an ugly shooting posture is still useful? Use the pick-up method to shoot the distance?"

Shinomiya Tianye had never seen such a shooting method before, and touched his chin and said strangely.

"This technique...is called lobbing."

"It was originally a concept in football. In terms of techniques, the principles of the two are similar, so they can also be used in basketball."

"Like you said, it's a mid-range shot by picking the basket."

"High release point, high arc, often able to break through the opponent's block when facing the striker head-on, and the shooting method is also different from the floating shot."

"Because when throwing, the hand is thrown forward, and there is still a movement of pressing the wrist."

"But when lobbing, the player's posture is to hold the ball, using the strength of the wrist and fingers to deliver the ball."

"It's more difficult than throwing, but more elusive than throwing."

Shinomiya Tianye and others are not familiar with this shooting technique, but Jinguji Budo has some understanding.

The shooting method of lobbing is really used in the early days, but with the development of the times, this mid-range shooting method has been completely replaced by throwing shots. The reason is also very simple, because the shooting speed of throwing shots is faster.

For a lob shot to be successful, the offensive player needs to have a sufficiently superior bounce and stay in the air.

But in that kind of high-level game, by the time you make a lob shot, other people's slaps will already be on the basketball.

"Able to break through the blocking of strikers head-on?"

"According to you, this guy's shooting is invincible? Can't block the shot?"

"Is this possible? I don't believe it!"

Shinomiya Tianye was stunned when he heard Budao say that, then shook his head slightly and said.

"Of course it is impossible to be invincible. The shortcomings of lob shots are still obvious. This time it is because Chigi's defense is far away. If you take two steps forward, you can block it."

"Zebei Eiji deliberately controlled the distance between him and Akagi."

"If you want to defend against him, you can be close to him. It is difficult for a supplementary defense player to be close to him. If you want to defend against him, you have to keep Xiandao in place."

Budou chuckled when he heard Shinomiya Tano's words. In this world, how can there be invincible projection techniques? If there is, it must be because the defenders are not experienced enough, or the talent is not enough to explode!
Taking Zebei's lob shot as an example, Bu Dao dared to say that if the opponent used such a shooting method in front of him, he would definitely cover him submissively.

While Jinguji Budao and the others were talking, there were sudden changes in the stadium.

After the offensive and defensive transition, Mu Shenyi, who was holding the ball, suddenly encountered the double-teaming of Matsumoto Minoru and Fukatsu Kazunari. He was caught off guard and could only pass the ball in a hurry, but the ball was accurately judged by Zebei Eiji. Before Xiandao, he held the ball in his hands and completed the steal.

Akita County, who completed the frontcourt steal, launched a fast-break counterattack. Eiji Zebei, who took the lead, drove the ball straight to the basket. Under the pursuit of Sendo, he staged a pull-up layup and easily scored the ball. The score was 4:2 .

And the next wave of Kanagawa County's counterattack also went very quickly. This time, Mu Shenyi chose to call his teammates for a pick-and-roll after taking the ball into the frontcourt. The insider cut in, and he immediately attracted the attention of Minoru Matsumoto and Masashi Kawada when he cut in.

When the two completed the encirclement, Mu Shenyi passed the ball back to Mitsui Hisashi on the outside line. Mitsui Hisashi, who received the ball, faced Kazunari Fukatsu who switched defenses, and made a strong shot from outside the three-point line.

But it was such a shot that looked extremely reluctant in the eyes of everyone, and it still plunged into the basket, adding three points to the scoreboard of the Kanagawa County team.

Mitsui Shou, who has no blank period, has no physical shortcomings. After traveling to the United States, he also practiced excellent flip shots. In his second year of high school, he is now 186cm tall. With the extremely fast flip shots, even with experience The rich Kazunari Fukatsu couldn't face the offensive Mitsui Shou.

With Mitsui Shou's three-pointer, the Kanagawa County team also found the team's early firepower!
"Pass the ball!"

After several rounds of offense and defense, the score of the two teams came to 12:11, and the Kanagawa County team took the lead with a slight advantage of one point.

On the court, Mitsui Shou relied on A Mu's off-ball pick-and-roll, and quickly ran towards Xiandao. It was not easy for Xiandao holding the ball to break through Sawakita Eiji's defense. Seeing Mitsui Shou's request, he gave the ball decisively.

The person chasing Mitsui Shou was none other than Matsumoto Minoru from Akita Prefecture. Like Mitsui Shou, he was also a sophomore in high school, and their heights were similar.

"Snapped!"

Starting with the basketball, Hisashi Mitsui raised the ball and swayed it. It was just such a simple action, and he tricked Minoru Matsumoto in an instant.

Mitsui, who had tricked Minoru Matsumoto with a fake move, immediately moved the ball laterally. Instead of taking advantage of this opportunity to break into the inside line, he followed the three-point arc and drew a distance of nearly one meter away from Matsumoto, then pulled up directly outside the three-point line. jump shot.

Under everyone's gaze, the basketball crashed into the net.

"Ohhhh!!! Mitsui!!!"

"It's the third three-pointer! He has scored three three-pointers in a row. This feeling is really hot!"

As the basketball thrown by Mitsui Hisashi hit the net, cheers erupted from the audience.

The game lasted only 5 minutes, and Mitsui Hisao's personal score had reached 9 points. With the scoreboard beating, Kanagawa County led the opponent by 15 points at 11:4.

Facing Mitsui Shou, the former overlord of the country, Sanno Industry's starting small forward Matsumoto Minoru, was completely blown by Mitsui Shou.

However, facing the powerful Kanagawa Prefecture, Akita Prefecture did not surrender their guns and admit defeat. Although Mitsui Shou's strength was beyond their expectations, their Akita County would not lose the game just because of Mitsui Shou!
Akita County, who had just lost a point, quickly cheered up. Fukatsu Kazunari entered the frontcourt with the ball and faced Mu Shenyi with a forced singles breakthrough. Fortunately, Mu Shen was solid and experienced in defense, and was not passed by the opponent, but Fukatsu Kazunari relied on Mu Shenyi's adjustment to quickly pass the ball to Masashi Kawada inside.

Kawada Masashi, who received the ball, pulled Akagi to the middle distance, performed a wave of fadeaway jumpers in front of Akagi, and successfully sent the ball into the net, narrowing the point difference to two points.

The scores of Mitsui Hisashi and Kawada Masashi respectively represent the offensive trends of the two teams on the offensive end.

Facing Mitsui Hisashi's unreasonable three-pointer, Akita's response was to score solid inside points. Although the game didn't start long, the competition between the two teams became extremely fierce.
