Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 334 Give me the ball, I'm going home!

"Empty seat?!"

"Why didn't I see it!"

While Sinomiya was speaking, he rushed to Miyagi Liangtian's side, jumped up, and abruptly picked the ball out of the air.

Successfully caught Miyagi Ryota's mid-range shot, and seeing Shinomiya Tano who was pulling the ball to the ground in front of him, Miyagi Ryota's pupils were shocked. Obviously, he did not expect that Shinomiya Ryota would come to him so quickly, and he was able to catch the already A basketball that goes up a distance.

This level of athleticism and jumping was beyond Miyagi Ryota's expectations. It was the first time he faced Shinomiya Dano's defense on the offensive end. Miyagi Ryota had never experienced such a terrifying sense of oppression.

In the usual team practice matches in Shonhoku, his opponents have always been Yasuda Yasuharu, but after Kiyota Nobunaga entered Shonhoku High School, most of his opponents are against Kiyota.

Even in a game, the opponent he met was Fujima's level.

Shinomiya Tano
"Do you think it's so easy to score in front of our Lingnan High School?!"

"Too much, you underestimate me too much!"

Shinomiya Tianye glanced at Miyagi Ryota, he didn't pay attention to Miyagi at all, turned his head and said to Jinguji Budo.

"Return to defense."

Seeing this, Budou ignored Shinomiya Tianye, reminded Miyagi Ryota, and quickly turned back to the field.And after Budao left, Miyagi Ryota was still there in a daze, and didn't come back immediately.

Continuous setbacks on both offensive and defensive ends left Miyagi Ryota wondering what to do now.

Although it was only a round of confrontation, Miyagi Ryota knew one thing, in front of Shinomiya Tano, he would never have a chance to score points.

The defense was unstoppable, and the offense was useless. Miyagi Ryota suddenly felt that he was a little redundant on the field.

"What can I do?!"

When Ryota Miyagi hesitated, the players of Lingnan would not give up the opportunity of 5v4.

The basketball quickly passed from the hands of Shinomiya Tianye, and after several conductions, it smoothly entered the frontcourt and came to Xiandao's hands.

It was Kaede Rukawa who was defending Xiandao, but without Miyagi Ryota's defense, Kenji Fujima was already in the open position.Just as Budo was about to go to Budou's position, Shinomiya Tano moved his feet and tried to cut towards the inside.

Reluctantly, Budo could only give up defending against Fujima, and chose to follow up on Shinomiya Tianye.

And just when Budo's defense was restrained, Xiandao singled out Rukawa Kaede, but passed the ball back to Fujima during the march. Fujima, who was holding the ball from outside the three-point line, raised the knife and dropped the ball directly. up the basket.

A beautiful three-pointer added another three points to the scoreboard of Lingnan High School.

It wasn't until Lingnan High School scored a goal that Ryota Miyagi, who was located in the backcourt of Lingnan, slowly lifted up, and looked at the basket on the Shonhoku side in confusion. Now he obviously only played for a few minutes, but he felt that his whole body Powerless, unable to raise even a little energy.

"Basketball. A short guy like me is just a drag on the team."

"Rather than relying on the field, it is better"

While thinking about it, Miyagi Ryota stepped up and actually walked towards the field. This sudden scene made all the players on the field look towards Miyagi.At the same time, Coach Anxi also slowly stood up from his seat, went to the referee's seat and called a timeout.

It's time to stop the ball.

Xiangbei and Lingnan players returned to the rest area at the referee's whistle.

"Hey! Miyagi, what are you doing?!"

"It's not like you! What are you hitting?!"

Seeing Miyagi Ryota return to the rest area, the furious Mitsui Toshi grabbed Miyagi Ryota by the collar and shouted angrily.

Facing the furious Mitsui Hisashi, what responded to him was Miyagi Ryota's ashen-faced face.

"I don't want to fight anymore."

"Let Coach Anxi make a substitution."

"Basketball, what is there to play?!"

Miyagi Ryota reached out and opened Mitsui's hand, and said in a dull tone.At this time, his previous training flashed through his mind, and thinking of his attack being easily capped by Shinomiya Tianye just now, he just felt that the efforts he had made before were like a joke.

"At the end of the day, it's just a club movement."

"I think too highly of myself. From the beginning to the end, I am just a short man without talent."

"Wouldn't it be better to let talented people play this kind of sport?"

Miyagi Ryota sat down on the bench, looked up at the ceiling, covered his face with a sweat towel, and tears flowed out of Miyagi Ryota's eyes.

Ryota Miyagi has always been under tremendous pressure at Shohoku High School. It has never been an easy task to keep up with Budo Jinguji and Hisashi Mitsui.Ever since entering Xiangbei in the first year of high school, Miyagi Liangtian has lost himself.

Don't look at him as the starter in Xiangbei, but on the court, Miyagi Ryota's role is simply to bring the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt.Then, give the ball to Jinguji Budo or Mitsui Shou.

As for other functions, it is to follow the team to do back and forth.

Did Miyagi Ryota come to Shohoku to follow the team back and run?Never. Never.

But whenever Miyagi Ryota wants to prove his worth through hard work, blows will come as expected.

And this year, the addition of first-year freshmen has put more pressure on Miyagi Ryota. The skilled and comprehensive Rukawa Kaede; Ichiro; Kemei Ichiro with excellent shooting; Kiyota who is only 178cm tall but can dunk.

In such a talented Xiangbei, he, Miyagi Ryota, is still the starting lineup of the Shonhoku back line. This makes Miyagi rejoice, but also feels pressure.

Why would someone like him be the starting point guard? Miyagi asked himself countless times, but the final answer was endless efforts.

However, his efforts did not respond to him in the game.

That poor performance has made Miyagi lose confidence in continuing to stand on the field.

"Enough. I don't want to play this kind of basketball anymore!"

The depression in Miyagi Liangtian's heart finally broke out all at once.

He's tired of being ineffective, tired of a basketball career with no prospects.

He can't see his future, and he can't even picture what he looks like on the court in his mind. He doesn't know what he should do and what he can do on the court.

Since this is the case, then simply, don't continue!
Under the sweat towel, Miyagi Ryota burst into tears. He resented his fragility, his lack of talent, and his inaction.

But at this time, neither Mitsui Hisashi, Rukawa Kaede, Sakuragi Hanamichi, etc. could understand how Miyagi Ryota felt at this time, nor could he understand why Miyagi Ryota collapsed after only a few minutes of fighting. .

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, their eyes focused on Coach Anxi.

Jinguji Budao lowered his eyelids slightly after staring at Miyagi for a long time.

Jinguji Budao can understand Miyagi Liangtian's mood, and he also had a deep understanding of the feeling of marginal people.

But it's a pity that Jinguji Budo has always focused on himself. At most, he has a little concern for Mitsui, Sakuragi, and Rukawa Kaede. If it weren't for Miyagi's outbreak today, Budo would not know that the pressure on Miyagi has arrived. critical point.

He had noticed a little sign when he was on the field just now, and made some changes, but the result
"Kamei Ichiro, you can play instead of Miyagi."

"Conduct more, run more open spots, shoot when you have the opportunity, don't hesitate."

Coach Anzai just glanced at Miyagi, and then made an arrangement. Instead of sending Mitsui Hisashi and Kiyota, Katsumi Ichiro was sent on the field.

"Okay, coach."

Katsumi Ichiro, who was named by Coach Anzai, smiled, nodded calmly, quickly took off his coat, and stood beside Budo Jinguji. disgusted.

"Weak is too weak, senior!"

After Coach Anzai made a substitution, Coach Anzai hooked his hand towards Budo. When Budo was listening, Coach Anzai said in Jinguji Budo's ear:

"Budao, I have always believed in your ability."

"Since before, I have never corrected your style of play. After all, you do have unparalleled talent and almost unsolvable scoring ability."

"To be honest, you have already surpassed my time as a player. I am afraid to teach you."

"I'm afraid that it will delay your growth."

"I've always known that you can go farther and your basketball path will be more brutal. There is no time to wait for others to catch up with you."

"So, you just play according to your own wishes, no need to make changes specifically for others."

After Coach Anxi finished speaking, he patted Budao on the shoulder, and then sat back in the rest area.

When Jinguji Budao heard Coach Anzai's words, he also took a deep look at Miyagi Yoshida lying on the bench, and nodded slightly. Then, at the referee's whistle, Jinguji Budao walked with his teammates into the pitch.

Coach Anxi looked at Jinguji Budo who walked into the stadium, and in a daze, he saw the figure of Gu Ze.

"The team doesn't exist for you alone! It's you, for the team!"

"Basketball is never a sport for one person!"

Coach Anxi vaguely remembered what he said to teach Gu Ze back then, and now, seeing Jinguji Budo, whose strength and talent far surpasses Gu Ze, Coach Anxi did not say those words again.

"Be selfish. Then be selfish"

"If you want to gain a foothold in the still-outside basketball environment, if you are not selfish, how can you stand up?"

"Budao, let me see what kind of player you have grown into after coming back from the United States!"

Coach Anzai thought about it, turned his head to look at Ryota Miyagi, and sighed softly.

Jinguji Budo no longer needs teammates of this level.
On the court, players from Xiangbei and Lingnan returned to the court.Katsumi Ichiro looked at the people in Lingnan, tried hard to restrain his excitement, walked up to Budao, and asked:

"Senior Jingongji, how do you want to fight?"

Facing Katsumi Ichiro's question, Budou replied after a short thought: "Follow my rhythm, try to run out of position, and seize every opportunity."

"Hold the ball into the frontcourt, just give me the ball, yourself, try to run open."

After receiving Budou's clear reply, Katsumi Ichiro nodded emphatically, and then quickly went to the bottom line. Sakuragi Hanamichi also stood outside the bottom line at this moment, and sent the ball to Katsumi Ichiro, who organized the attack.

"Is that soft-looking boy a first-year student in Xiangbei?!"

"I haven't seen it before!"

In the stands, when the audience saw Katsumi Ichiro appearing on stage, there was a lot of discussion.

In the backcourt of Lingnan, Shinomiya Tianye saw Katsumi Ichiro play, and reminded Fujima with a smile: "Hey, Fujima, this kid has three points, don't run too far when defending!"

Fujima pursed his lips and smiled when he heard the words, and didn't care.

And as Shonhoku High School entered the frontcourt, Fujima also quickly ran towards Kemeiichiro.

"Odo~"

"So dangerous, so dangerous."

Facing Fujima who was rushing up, Katsumi Ichiro passed the ball early. It is not very difficult for Katsumi, who is 185cm tall, to play in front of Fujima.

The basketball entered the hands of Jinguji Budo, and Katsumi Ichiro, who had just finished throwing the ball, immediately wandered to the top of the arc. Facing Fujima's defense, he began to spare no effort to run quickly, trying to get rid of his opponent.

As for Jinguji Budo of the ball, after holding the ball in both hands, he quickly dropped the ball and accelerated his charge.Under the interception of Shinomiya Tianye, Jinguji Budao continued to break through in disguise, and the extremely fast disguised rhythm kept mobilizing Shinomiya Tianye's defensive position.

At the same time, Wu Dao also crossed the three-point line in a continuous disguised breakthrough.

The distance is right.

During an assault, Jinguji Budo leaned directly against Shinomiya Tano's body. After receiving a huge shock, Jinguji Budo kept his body in good shape. He put his hands on his shoulders while carrying the basket In front of him, while mobilizing Shinomiya Tianye's defense, he instantly turned around to face the basket and made a fake shot, successfully tricking Shinomiya Tianye, and then he leaned back on the spot and pulled out his hand.

The basketball was shot, hit the backboard directly, and rebounded into the basket.

A beautiful one-man attack made the whole stadium cheer.

"Huh~ Senior Jinguji is really strong!"

"It's an understatement to score the ball, haha."

Seeing Budo's goal, Katsumi Ichiro smiled and praised, and then ran towards the backcourt following Jinguji Budo's back.

After the goal, Jinguji Budou was silent and didn't see much expression on his face. For him, scoring a goal on Shinomiya Tano's head was already a routine thing.

Between offense and defense, it was time to test Komiichiro's defensive ability.

As Fujima entered the frontcourt with the ball, Komiichiro's defense was in front of Fujima immediately.

Under Katsumi Ichiro's defensive pressure, Fujima kept changing his dribbling methods to prevent the basketball from being intercepted by the opponent.

Not to mention, although Katsumi Ichiro is only in the first grade, the defensive pressure this 185cm guy brings to Fujima is really much stronger than that of Miyagi Ryota.

He is taller than Fujima, has quite long hands, and his speed and reaction are also remarkable. In terms of strength, he is even stronger than Fujima. Under the defense of Kemei Ichiro, Fujima is not so easy to play.

To eat hard alone, Fujima chose to call the pick-and-roll.

With the arrival of Xiandao's pick-and-roll, Fujima handed the ball to Xiandao. Faced with this situation, Katsumi Ichiro and Rukawa Kaede chose to switch defenses tacitly.

When Xiandao, who received the basketball hand-to-hand, was directly intercepted by Komi Ichiro, under the strong pressure of Xiandao, although the opponent was weak, he did not lose his position completely.

Afterwards, Xiandao made an emergency stop jump shot from mid-range. Although Kemiichiro couldn't block Xiandao, he still gave enough interference.

The basketball shot by Xiandao was inaccurate, hit the edge of the frame, and collapsed out of the basket.

And the rebound was caught by Yingmu Huadao.

"Hoo!"

"It's a good defense, that first-year kid!"

"Successfully interfered with the projection of Immortal Dao!"
