Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 395 Give up the performance stage, Rukawa Kaede's solo dance!
Xiangbei High School and Lingnan High School played at 17 minutes and 30 seconds in the first half.

The score between the two teams came to 39:43, and Xiangbei High School had a four-point lead. Not only that, Jinguji Budao successfully tricked Xiandao into a foul after he made a three-pointer.

At this moment, Jinguji Budao was already standing on the free throw line.

The referee gave the ball to Jinguji Budao, who stretched his shoulders and neck, dribbled the ball on the spot, and then shot directly.Jinguji Budo's mid-range shot was very accurate, and the front of the basketball hit the net with a crisp sound.

The moment the goal was scored, the supporters of Xiangbei began to cheer. At the same time, the scoreboard on the sidelines jumped, and the score of the two teams came to 39:44, and the point difference came to 5 points.

The similar disadvantage that was eliminated by Lingnan High School just now, with Jinguji Budo scoring 3+1, was once again stretched to the three-goal level by Xiangbei.

A difference of 4 points and a difference of 4 points give people different feelings.

With only two and a half minutes remaining in the first half, Shinomiya Tano glanced at the scoreboard and ran towards the frontcourt in silence.

The goal of Lingnan in the first half is to even out the disadvantages, and it is best to take some leads and bring the leads into the second half.

Shinomiya Tianye can be regarded as seeing the situation of the court clearly, and he has no expectations at all to completely seal Shohoku's offense. Now his mind is full of wanting to seal Budao Jinguji so that he can't get the ball.

Shinomiya Tianye knew that as long as he could do such a thing, Xiangbei's offensive would collapse in no time!

"Jinguji Martial Arts has grown a lot over the years, and the ability to fight physically has also improved."

"Although I can still break through him, the strength and stamina required are not at the same level as before."

"Now that the game has progressed, Jinguji Budo's hit rate has not dropped at all due to the fierce physical confrontation. This guy is getting more and more terrifying."

Shinomiya Tano trotted into the frontcourt. When he was approaching the three-point line, Shinomiya Tano looked at Jinguji Budou, who was defending near the three-point line, and thought to himself.

Now that the game has progressed, Shinomiya Tianye's jersey has already been soaked in sweat, and fine sweat oozes from his forehead, sliding down his cheeks to his chin.Shinomiya Tanno glanced sideways at Fujima's position, grabbed the collar of the jersey with one hand and wiped the sweat off his chin.

Then when Jinguji Budao came up to defend, he swayed without the ball. After a right-handed fake move, he quickly seized the gap and got through Jinguji Budao's defense and cut into the inside.

"This guy!" Shinomiya Tianye's speed was very fast. At the moment of his air cut, Fujima, who was holding the ball from the outside, directly hoisted the ball into the inside.

Shinomiya Tano successfully caught the ball in the middle distance, and the moment he took the ball, Jinguji Budo's figure had already bypassed him and came in front of him.Shinomiya Tano quickly dropped the ball sideways, and his body hit Jinguji Budao hard. After pushing Jinguji Budo back, Shinomiya Tano made a direct shot with a small hook sideways to the basket.

The basketball hit the net at a 45° angle, and there was a crisp sound.

The scoreboard on the sidelines jumped, and the score between the two teams came to 41:44, and the point difference was reduced to three points.

"Beautiful! Fields!"

"Good shot!"

"Good story, Fujima."

Shinomiya Tano, who scored the goal, left the Shonhoku inside line and started running towards the front court amidst the encouragement of Sendao and Fujima. .

The harmonious team atmosphere does not feel that Lingnan is the one behind.

The difference from Xiangbei is that although Lingnan is the one behind, the pressure on the players is much less than that of Xiangbei.Every time they score a goal in Lingnan, the players can see the point difference shrinking. This thrill of chasing points stimulates each of them.

Chasing this imminent goal can completely mobilize the enthusiasm of the players.

On the other hand, in Xiangbei, every goal of Lingnan is a blow to Xiangbei. When the young Sakuragi saw the opponent's goal, he covered his head and let out an annoyed cry.

Although it's just an insignificant complaint, this kind of emotion will inevitably affect the morale of the team.

"The pressure of being chased for points is too great. No matter how strong the willpower of Xiangbei's players is, they are only high school students after all."

"It doesn't matter if you don't catch up in the first half, as long as you cling to the score, Xiangbei will collapse on its own."

Coach Tian Gang glanced at the scoreboard with a smile on his face.Although the team is behind, Coach Tian Gang is not in a hurry. The first half is not over yet. What is the difference between this point difference and none?
However, the Xiangbei players will consume their physical energy faster due to the pressure. If this kind of snowball rolls down, the main force of Xiangbei will collapse in the second half.

Coach Tian Gang is quite satisfied with the current situation.

On the court, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who has been playing very focused, began to get a little distracted. Not only him, but also Akagi, who has been running back and forth with the team, is now getting a little confused.

Jinguji Budo and Mitsui Shou are both in the same condition, but Rukawa Kaede is even more silent after seeing Jinguji Budo hit 3+1, and the whole body is exuding low pressure. As the score drew closer, the desire to attack in his eyes became stronger.

Jinguji Budo noticed the emotions of Akagi Takenori and Sakuragi, but he ignored Rukawa Kaede's ambition.

Between offense and defense, Rukawa Kaede had already entered the frontcourt with the ball, and Jinguji Budao was leaning against Shinomiya Tianye with his back, reaching out for the ball.However, facing Jinguji Budo's request for the ball, Rukawa Feng did not choose to play the ball immediately.

This also gave Shinomiya Tanno time to react, his body was directly pressed against Jinguji Budao's body, and his right arm directly blocked Budao's eyes.

Faced with Shinomiya Tanno's aggressive defense, Jinguji Budo could only turn around without the ball to vent his strength, and then quickly bypassed Shinomiya Tianno and cut in towards the inside line. At the same time, keep your hands on your chest, ready to catch the ball.

However, when Jinguji Budo was running empty, Rukawa Kaede directly shot the ball after a fake breakthrough, and directly pulled out his hand in front of Fujima.

Against Fujima, Rukawa Kaede still has some advantages, and Fujima's attention on the defensive side is also drawn by Jinguji Budou who ran out of space.Facing Rukawa Kaede's fake move, Fujima didn't react at all.

"Shh!"

Rukawa Kaede's shot hit the basket directly.And his goal also caused everyone in Lingnan to exclaim.

"what?!!!"

"This guy cast himself again?!"

"A three-pointer, or a three-pointer?
While Lingnan's substitutes exclaimed, there was also a "buzzing" discussion in the stands. Obviously, Rukawa Kaede's sudden three-pointer surprised everyone.What surprised them even more was that Rukawa Feng not only dared to vote, but was able to.

This first grader in Xiangbei seems to really plan to take the top position through this competition!
When playing, he completely ignored the trump card of Jinguji Budo!

"Hey, hey, really, you guys, the first graders, seem to be planning to replace you, Budao."

"Don't even bother you asking for the ball, aren't you angry?"

"It's not me who made trouble. If we were in Lingnan, I would have asked the coach to invite him to sit on the bench for such a player."

Seeing Kaede Rukawa scoring a three-pointer, Shinomiya Tianye was not unhappy, but walked up to Budo as if he was watching a good show, and said with a smile.

In his opinion, anyone in northern Hunan can attack, as long as it is not Jinguji Wudao.

As for Rukawa Kaede in the first grade?Maybe under the defense of Fujima, he can occasionally score a few goals, but so what?Rukawa Kaede's offensive efficiency is still inferior to Jinguji Budo. If Rukawa Kaede controls the ball in Shonhoku, Shinomiya Tianno will be very happy!

"So what? It turned out that the goal was scored. Didn't our team's freshman play very well?"

"Don't be jealous, Tianye, I know you Lingnan doesn't have outstanding first graders."

"You Lingnan will lose to us in Xiangbei this year, and it will be the same next year!"

Budo didn't care about Shinomiya Tianno's "separation".Although Rukawa Feng's actions were indeed somewhat beyond his expectations, but in competitive sports, we only talk about success or failure.

Reasonable or unreasonable, as long as you can win, who cares if you are reasonable or not?

If Rukawa Feng can really prove that his offensive efficiency is stronger than his own, and his personal ability is better than his own, then Budo will only improve himself crazily below the arena. On the field, Budo has only one goal, and that is to win!

"Well, you are right. Our Lingnan does not have any outstanding freshmen this year, but you are wrong in one sentence. This year, our Lingnan will still win!"

After Shinomiya Tianye finished speaking, he stepped up and ran towards the front field.When Bu Dao heard this, he also chuckled, and quickly passed Shinomiya Tianye, and returned to his half-court defense early.

Not long after, Fujima dribbled the ball from the backcourt into the frontcourt. After a pick-and-roll, Fujima quickly broke through. When encountering Yingmu Huadao's defense, he turned around and passed the ball in reverse at the same time. Basketball It hit Sakuragi's feet and flew inside.

Huaxing under the basket took the ball and directly forced a slam dunk, helping Lingnan High School get back two points.

At 43:47, there was only one and a half minutes left before the end of the first half.

In Xiangbei's offensive round, Rukawa Feng realized that there was not much time left, and began to deliberately suppress the offensive rhythm.

The calm handling method surprised everyone in Lingnan, because Rukawa Feng gave them the impression that he was a sharp-edged and ambitious first-year point guard.

Wu Dao saw that Rukawa Feng took the initiative to suppress the offensive rhythm, and he was secretly relieved. He was not afraid that Rukawa Feng would fight by himself, he was afraid that Rukawa Feng would fight by himself without thinking.

Fortunately, Rukawa Feng was still conscious.

Everyone in Lingnan saw that Xiangbei began to press the rhythm, but they did not dare to expand the defense line easily. There was no way, several outside players from Xiangbei High School had excellent shooting ability.

Therefore, after Ruchuanfeng passed the center line, he was able to easily carry the ball, press it in front of the center line, and wait quietly for the passage of time.

Fujima didn't rush forward to press, his physical fitness was not as good as Rukawa Kaede, that kind of positional press was meaningless, and Rukawa Feng would only seize the opportunity to force him.

More than ten seconds passed, and Rukawa Kaede finally made a move. While quickly dribbling the ball to approach the three-point line, he actually made a pick-and-roll gesture towards his teammates on the side.Without hesitation, Budo broke away from Shinomiya Tano's defense line, quickly ran towards Rukawa Kaede, stood on the left side of Fujima, and made a pick-and-roll.

But Budo's pick-and-roll is not very effective for Rukawa Kaede, because Shinomiya Tano is just behind Jinguji Budo. If Rukawa Kaede breaks through, he will encounter Shinomiya Tano's supplementary defense and pursuit.

But in this way, Martial Dao has a chance to displace big and small.

After the Budo pick-and-roll was in place, Rukawa Kaede didn't seem to notice this, and rushed directly in the direction of Shinomiya Tano's defense. Shinomiya Tano looked slightly condensed, took a deep look at Rukawa Kaede, didn't make up the defense, and directly let go past.

He didn't want Wu Dao to have such a chance of misaligning the big and the small!
Rukawa Kaede, who broke through smoothly, soon met Uozumi's defense near the free throw line. Rukawa Kaede quickly stopped and joined the ball, took the ball with both hands and made a pass to Akagi who was open inside, and successfully made Uozumi turn his head away Looking at Akagi, the next second when the opponent's attention was distracted, Rukawa Kaede made a jumper on the spot and threw the ball.

The basketball hit the board head-on and rebounded into the net.

Rukawa Feng clenched his fists slightly, then turned around and quickly returned to defense.

At 43:49, the point difference was widened to 6 points. Rukawa Kaede passed Fujima and Shinomiya Tiano successively, and under the defense of Uozumi, he made another singles contribution.

Rukawa Kaede's successful re-entry made the audience in the stands who didn't see Rukawa Kaede very much exclaimed.No one expected that at the last moment of the first half, Kaede Rukawa from Xiangbei High School would perform such an astonishing performance.

Everyone thought that the last two minutes would be a contest between Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tianye, but unexpectedly, the person dancing solo on the stage was actually a first-year player.

It wasn't until this time that Shinomiya Tianye took a look at the back of Rukawa Feng's back, and there was a little surprise between his brows.

Shinomiya Tano's surprised expression was seen by Jinguji Budou, looking at the somewhat surprised Shinomiya Tano, Budou said with a smile:

"How about it?"

"His performance surprised you, didn't he?"

"We in Xiangbei have never been a one-man team."

"Compared to our Xiangbei, there is a huge loophole in your Lingnan defense line. You should be aware of it now that the game has been played."

"Shinomiya Fields."

After Wu Dao finished speaking, he turned around and returned quickly.And Shinomiya Tianye couldn't help frowning after hearing these words, and turned his head to look at Fujima who was going to the baseline to catch the ball at this time.

The defensive loophole Jinguji Budo mentioned refers to Fujima!
In high-level competitions, the height of players is very important.

If it is an ordinary opponent, an excellent defender like Fujima who is less than 180cm is enough to deal with it.Even, most people are not Fuji's opponents.

But if the opponent is a tall defender like Rukawa Kaede who is close to 190cm in height, Fujima's physical fitness is really not enough.

Whether it's direct defense or switching defenses after pick-and-rolls, the existence of vines makes Lingnan more difficult to play on the defensive end.

If this defensive weakness is not resolved, even if their Lingnan High School can overtake the score in a short period of time, it is absolutely impossible for this lead to be brought to the end of the game.

"Fujima."

"Who would have thought that Fujima would become the weakness of our Lingnan defense?!"
