Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 364 Ambitious first grade, the ball was taken away!
Between offense and defense, Jinguji Budo has already demonstrated unparalleled court dominance.

Before the three formed a siege, Budo Jinguji easily shot and scored under the defense of Masashi Kawada. The relaxed and freehand shooting posture was engraved in the hearts of every Sanno player.

Sawakita Eiji has the deepest understanding of the strength of Jinguji Budo. During team practice games, Sawakita Eiji is often the one who breaks through with the ball, and the player who often defends him inside is Masashi Kawada.

When facing Kawada Masashi, Sawakita Eiji couldn't be as relaxed as Jinguji Budo.

It is very difficult to pass Kawada Masashi's defense head-on.Zebei often tries to avoid Kawada's defense, only in this way can he score the ball.

But Sawakita Eiji never thought about shooting from the front of Kawada Masashi like Jinguji Budo.

Xiangbei High School started to retreat quickly after Jinguji Budo scored.

Zebei Eiji turned his head and glanced at the scoreboard on the sidelines, looking at the point difference between the two teams, with a dignified expression.

Huge disadvantage.

Since he joined Sanno Industry, he has rarely encountered such a disadvantageous situation. The last time was when he played against Lingnan High School.

Unexpectedly, in their first game of the Mountain King this year, they fell into a hard fight.

"Shenjin, give me the ball, I'll hit it."

"The top priority now is to catch up with the score first."

"Zebei, if you can't break through Jinguji Budo's attack head-on, then move more. If the opportunity arises, I will give you the ball."

"When Xiangbei realizes the disadvantage of the inside line, Jinguji Budo will make moves. At that time, your chance will appear!"

"This is a five-person sport, don't take the previous mistakes to heart."

After Kawada Masashi sent the ball from the baseline, he immediately talked to Fukatsu and Sawakita Eiji.Kazunari Fukatsu didn't want to hit Eiji Zebei's self-confidence, and Masashi Kawada had already seen this.

But Kawada doesn't care about Zebei's mood, his goal is very simple and pure, that is to win!

Fukatsu glanced back at Zebei, nodded slightly, and approved Kawada Masashi's statement.Zebei Eiji didn't refute either, he lowered his head and ran towards the frontcourt, feeling the loss fleetingly.

Zebei is also a mature player. He knows that the most important thing at the moment is what is going on.

If they can't hold the score here, as the game progresses, the scores of the two teams will be enlarged. The more Jinguji Budao continues to play like this, the lower the morale of their Sanwang will be.

Taking advantage of the present, it is very important for Sanwang to resist the pressure brought by Jinguji Budo and keep the score between the two teams from being further stretched!

Fukatsu Kazunari dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, and Rukawa Kaede opened his arms and quickly pushed forward when the opponent was close to the top of the arc.But this time, Kazunari Fukatsu didn't intend to make any moves at the top of the arc. He glanced sideways at the positions of Budou Miyajima and Eiji Sawakita, took the ball, and followed the three-point line towards the left corner move.

And Minoru Matsumoto, who was standing here, quickly cut into the inside. His movement also took away Mitsui's defense, but Minoru Matsumoto didn't stay in the paint. He just touched the floor of the paint area and quickly moved towards the bottom. Corner ran.

Seeing this, Mitsui Shou didn't follow up, and landed directly in the middle distance of the bottom line on the right, actually ready to make up for the basket at any time.

"Mitsui Shou's experience is very sophisticated!" Coach Tian Gang on the stand saw Mitsui Shou's running position and praised with a smile.

In the next second, Fukatsu Kazunari in the court directly changed his rhythm, made a wrong footstep, quickly accelerated his breakthrough, and changed direction directly in front of Rukawa Kaede at the moment he followed up.Just as Rukawa Kaede adjusted his body and chased again, Fukatsu Kazunari sent the ball with his left hand and passed the ball directly to the inside.

At this time, Kawada Masashi was standing in the middle distance on the left side. After the basketball started, he directly raised the ball and turned to face the basket.

In an instant, he passed Akagi Takenori's defense, rushed directly to the basket with a stride, and dunked the basketball into the basket with one hand.

The sharp low footsteps easily tore apart Takenori Akagi's defense and helped the team score.

Not to mention that Akagi Takenori didn't react, even Mitsui Shou, who was ready to replace him, didn't react for a while.From Kawada Masashi taking the ball to slam dunk, I am afraid it only took two seconds. To break through Akagi's defense in such a short period of time, Mitsui Shou did not expect.

He thought Akagi would be able to resist no matter what, as long as the opponent's attack was delayed a little, Mitsui Shou would be able to double-team.Unexpectedly, Kawada Masashi never gave such a chance.

"it is good!!!"

After scoring the goal, Masashi Kawata beat his chest and growled to cheer himself up.

His goals and his enthusiasm brought some vitality to the lifeless Mountain King bench.

"Come on! Mountain King! Come on! Mountain King!"

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

Under the leadership of an unknown Mountain King supporter, there were rhythmic shouts from the stands and the bench.

"Kawada Masashi. Sure enough, this player has become the biggest obstacle for us in Xiangbei."

"The gap between Akagi and him is actually so big."

Looking at Kawada Masashi's back, Jinguji Budou trotted towards the front field.Kawada Masashi's outstanding performance was actually within his expectations. He predicted that Akagi might be blown up.

Because in the past two years in northern Hunan, Akagi Takenori did not make great progress because of the arrival of Jinguji Budo.His talent has determined his speed of improvement. In fact, compared to his freshman year, Akagi Takenori has made great progress.

From a stupid big man who can't even handle the ball steadily, to now one of the best centers in the county and the top ten center in the country, Akagi's progress has surpassed many ordinary people.

But after all, he is not a genius like Sakuragi or Rukawa Kaede, and his progress speed has an upper limit.

Perhaps what Jinguji Budo brings to Akagi is only an improvement in mentality.

There is an insurmountable super genius in the team, and Akagi Takenori is not unacceptable to losing to Kawada Masashi.

It's just that he still feels a little guilty for being passed by the other party so easily.

"At least, resist him for a while longer, so that teammates have a chance to make up for it!" With this in mind, Akagi quickly entered the frontcourt and landed on the inside.

Rukawa Kaede pushed forward with the ball, and when he crossed the center line, he cast his gaze on Jinguji Budo. Sure enough, this time, Jinguji Budo still had his back against Zebei Eiji, and reached out to him for the ball. Miyajima Budo is planning to take over the game.

"Sure enough, this kid is going to pass the ball to Jinguji Budo!" Fukatsu Yi, who was defending Rukawa Kaede, saw that Rukawa looked towards Jinguji Budo, and at the same time saw that Budo had his back against Zebei and was ready to catch the ball. , I immediately made a judgment in my heart.

Rukawa Kaede dribbled the ball in a levitation, with his palms covering the basketball, as if he was about to pass the ball. At this moment, Fukatsu Kazunari made a lunge and directly blocked the passing route between Rukawa Kaede and Jinguji Budo, and at the same time stretched out his hand to grab the ball. To the basketball, wanting to steal.

However, he just made a move here. Rukawa Kaede, who was still dribbling the ball a second ago, quickly pressed the ball down, and directly passed the Fukatsu Kazun with a low dribble.Because Fukatsu was wary of Jinguji Budo, he had already emptied Rukawa Kaede's breakthrough route.

"What?!" The stealing hand was empty, Fukatsu Kazunari saw Rukawa Kaede passing quickly in front of him, let out a low cry, and hurriedly chased after him.

Rukawa Kaede who broke through also attracted Nobe Masahiro's supplementary defense at this moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on Rukawa Kaede at this time.

"call out!!"

Just when everyone thought that Rukawa Kaede would forcibly attack Nobe Masahiro's line of defense, a red pillar quickly flashed before everyone's eyes.The basketball was passed directly by Rukawa Kaede, and it was given to Mitsui Shou in the bottom corner.

At this time, Minoru Matsumoto, who was defending Mitsui, was heading to the inside to make up for the rebound, but there was no defense in front of Mitsui.

"Good job, Rukawa Kaede!"

With a snap, the basketball started, and Mitsui Shou smiled and sent the ball directly with a two-stage shot.The beautiful shooting posture made the reporters on the sidelines involuntarily press the shutter of the camera.

"Shh!"

The basketball was hollowed into the net, and the soft sound was heard by everyone.

Three-pointer, hit!
Mitsui Shou clenched his fist with his right hand, with a confident smile on his face.

"It's blooming more, the mountain king can't stop Xiangbei's attack, and it's about to collapse!"

Seeing Hisashi Mitsui throwing a three-pointer, coach Tian Gang in the stands said to the players with a faint smile on his lips.Xiangbei was able to suppress the king of the mountain so easily, and he, Lingnan's coach, was very happy to see it.

Xiangbei is getting stronger and stronger, defeating Lingnan of Xiangbei High School, isn't the status rising?

In other words, the more comprehensive the strength Xiangbei is showing now, the more time they have in Lingnan to consider countermeasures.This is the first time that the Xiangbei team on the field has been shown in front of national audiences.

It is also the first time that Coach Tian Gang has seen such a configuration in Xiangbei.

The appearance of Rukawa Feng brought about a qualitative change in Xiangbei. If Lingnan collided with Xiangbei first, Coach Tian Gang really couldn't think of a good way to deal with it.

In the first half of the game, after Hisashi Mitsui scored a three-pointer, it did not develop in the direction predicted by Coach Tianoka.

Rukawa Kaede's breakthrough score achieved a very good effect, which made Rukawa Kaede full of confidence in himself, and the next few shots were repeated. He wanted to break through the block of the mountain king and mobilize all Xiangbei players.

But Sanno Industry is not an idiot after all, and he quickly realized that, and Matsumoto Minoru, who was defending Mitsui Hisashi, was not an idiot either. In the next few balls, there was no chance for Rukawa Kaede to pass open.

At the same time, Rukawa Kaede, who broke through and entered the inside line, also encountered double-teaming from Fukatsu and the inside line replacement players.

When facing double-teaming, Kaede Rukawa passed the ball to Takenori Akagi once, but Takenori Akagi encountered Masahiro Nobe's replacement when shooting, and missed the shot. At the same time, the rebound was grabbed by Masashi Kawada who came back.

And the second time, Rukawa Kaede, who also successfully broke through, tried to pass back to Jinguji Budo on the outside, but because he was too scruples about Sawakita Eiji, the pass was too high and flew out of bounds.

The two sudden points failed, and Rukawa Kaede planned to make a single sudden attack, but under the interference of Kawada Masashi's defense, his pick collapsed and the rebound fell into Sakuragi's hands.Sakuragi Hanamichi, who got up to shoot, directly encountered Kawada Masashi's "big hat".

The offensive end suffered continuous setbacks, and the performance of the defensive end Shohoku was so-so. Kawada Masashi's personal strength is very strong, and this guy's vision is also very broad.Mitsui Shou knew that Akagi Takenori could not stop him alone, because he would often go to help Akagi and replace Kawada Masashi.

Often at this time, Masashi Kawada can accurately pass the ball to Minoru Matsumoto who is open, and Minoru Matsumoto completes the finish.

After Jinguji Budo followed the team for a few times, the advantage that Xiangbei had just established was gone.
And Rukawa Kaede doesn't seem to have a long memory. In other words, Rukawa Kaede tried to find a way to break through the Sanwang's defense, and then made a few more attempts. After a high pick-and-roll, he passed back to Akagi and Akagi made a mid-range shot to end it.

Or call Mitsui Shou's pick-and-roll, and use Mitsui Shou's offensive threat to break through and shoot.Even Rukawa Kaede has a tough play style of one-stop breakthrough layup.

Some of these attempts succeeded, and some failed. Generally speaking, Rukawa Feng's performance can be regarded as remarkable.

However, the score of the two teams came to 31:34 as the game progressed. With the efforts of Rukawa Kaede, Xiangbei High School successfully fell behind Sanno Industry by 3 points.

However, few people think there is a problem with Rukawa Feng's approach.

The reason is also very simple. From the point of view of a point guard, Rukawa Kaede often has no problems with his pass selection and shooting selection.

It's just that the shooting rate of himself and Akagi and others are so-so. In terms of offensive efficiency, he is not as good as Shanwang.But to say that Sanno prevented the attack organized by Rukawa Feng?That's not complete, the king of the mountain just kept a part of it.

On the offensive end of Xiangbei High School, Jinguji Budo suddenly became marginalized.

The first to discover this problem, besides Jinguji Budou himself, is also the ace of Zebei Eiji, Zebei Eiji was surprised that Jinguji Budou's ball power suddenly decreased a lot.

Zebei was able to discover this problem because he suddenly felt that his defense became easier!
But obviously, the reason for his easy defense is definitely not because Jinguji Budo has become weaker, or because he has suddenly become stronger, but because Jinguji Budo has less singles with the ball.

"Shua!" Under the basket, Masahiro Nobe sent the ball into the basket with a small hook.

At 14 minutes into the first half, the score of the two teams came to 31:36. Shonhoku High School fell behind Sanno Industry by 5 points.

When the score difference reached 5 points, Shinomiya Tianno in the stands also came back to his senses, looked intently at Rukawa Kaede who was advancing with the ball at this time, and suddenly laughed:
"A talented but ambitious freshman."

"For Xiangbei, I don't know whether it is good or bad."

"Jinguji Budao has been deprived of a considerable part of the ball in a subtle way. This first-year, really dare to do it!"

Sigong Tianye's words made everyone in Lingnan look over who didn't know why.Coach Tian Gang heard the words, glanced at the players around him, and said with some dissatisfaction:

"Have you not noticed yet?"

"Think about it, the last time Jinguji Budo attacked with the ball was already 2 minutes ago?"

"What about last time? Think about it!"

"Then think about the frequency of Jinguji Budo attacking with the ball in the previous games of Xiangbei High School! Almost every ball was initiated by him, right?!"

"By now, haven't you figured it out?"

"Kid Rukawa Feng, with a 'reasonable' style of play, deprived Xiangbei Ace of the unreasonable right to the ball!"

"This first grader is trying to change the distribution of ball rights in Xiangbei!"
