Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 406 The Last Dance!
Takedo Jinguji made a mid-range shot from behind the backboard. This difficult goal pushed the atmosphere in the stadium to a climax.

The score of the two teams came to a tie of 85:85, and there were only nearly 7 points left before the end of the game.

Between offense and defense, under the leadership of Kenji Fujima, all members of Lingnan High School entered the Xiangbei half.

The scores of the two teams are very tight. From the score and the situation alone, it is impossible to judge who is strong and who is weak.At this time, Fujima was also extremely cautious when organizing the attack.

He is very clear that any mistake at this time is very fatal to the team.

For point guards, caution is a very commendable attitude, but on the court, excessive caution often makes those opportunities that could have been used slip away from the hands.

As Kenji Fujima dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, Akira Sendo began to intersperse. Although Lingnan High School is still in the singles offensive position, Akira Sendo faintly feels that if this offensive method is still used, the team's offense Efficiency may not be comparable to that of Xiangbei High School.

Although he believed in Shinomiya Tianye's offensive ability, Xiandao felt a little uncertain after watching Jinguji Budou's goal just now.

Xiandao knew that no one in Xiangbei High School could stop Tianye Shinomiya, but Xiandao also knew that if the game developed to the point where the two teams faced each other, the fiery touch of Jinguji Budao would be better than that of Shinomiya The field has more advantages.

The reason is also very simple, because Jinguji Budo's three-pointer is his regular offensive method, but Shinomiya Tianno's three-pointer is only used occasionally to steal chickens.

Xiandao feels that it is necessary for him to contribute his strength on the offensive end, even if his role is only to attract the attention of the opponent, this is enough.

Xiandao left the horn, and after sinking into the bottom corner on the left, he quickly penetrated from the inside line, along the bottom line, and crossed towards the right side of the court.

Fujima saw that Xiandao got a short chance to catch the ball while running, but Fujima considered that the passing distance was a bit far, and Mitsui Hisashi, who was chasing Xiandao, might speed up his rush.

Fujima, who was apprehensive, did not choose to give the ball to Sendo, but passed the ball to Shinomiya Tianno, who was outside the three-point line on the right.

Shinomiya Tianye obviously frowned when he started with the basketball. He also noticed the chance of Xiandao just now, but Fujima didn't pass the ball and missed a pretty good opportunity.

Glancing at Akira Sendo at the bottom corner on the same side, Shinomiya Tianno began to drop the ball and break through.

The opponent Jinguji Budao is a master. When attacking, Shinomiya Tianye used his crotch to shake the defensive position of Jinguji Budou as much as possible.

After continuous attempts, Jinguji Budou controlled his defensive distance very well, and Shinomiya Tianye did not find any obvious flaws in Jinguji Budou's defense.

For Shinomiya Tianye, this position beyond the three-point line is not the most comfortable position for him to receive the ball.

Shinomiya Tano, who couldn't find any obvious flaws, passed the ball back to Fujima. After the basketball was shot, Shinomiya Tano tried to cross Jinguji Budo to enter the inside lane, but under Budo's pursuit, Shinomiya Tano didn't have a good chance to attack.

Realizing that this style of play would not work, Shinomiya Tianye also gave up those fancy ideas and directly adopted the most direct method.

After crossing the three-point line, Shinomiya Tianno quickly ran out of the air under Budo's pursuit.

Fujima seized this opportunity and passed the ball.

Seeing the pass, Shinomiya immediately caught the ball with his back to the basket, held the ball in his arms with his left hand, pressed his right hand against Budou Jinguji's waist, and turned his head to look at the basket.

At this time, Shinomiya Tianye's position is one meter inside the three-point line, and here, his offensive methods become more abundant.

"Boom!" After a back hit with a dropped ball, Shinomiya Tanno quickly grabbed the ball with one hand, turned around, and shot a fallback jumper.

Using his physical strength and fadeaway jumper technique, Shinomiya Tianye won enough shooting space for himself.

Jinguji Budo's defense couldn't catch Shinomiya Tianye's projection at all.

"Shh!"

The basketball hit the backboard at an oblique angle and entered the net, and then there was a crisp sound.

As Shinomiya Tianye scored the ball, cheers erupted from Lingnan's bench.

But not long after their cheers sounded, they stopped abruptly as the bottom line in Xiangbei was about to start.

Sakuragi Hanamichi who quickly went to the bottom line did not pass the ball to Rukawa Kaede who ran back to the inside to catch the ball, but directly passed it to Jinguji Budou who was running towards the frontcourt.

"Brother Martial Arts, hurry up!"

When the basketball came out, Sakuragi Hanamichi reminded Budou loudly.Hearing this, Budou Jinguji subconsciously turned his head to look at Sakuragi, and happened to see the basketball flying towards him rapidly.

If he didn't turn around in time, Yingmu Huadao's pass would definitely hit the back of his head.

"Snapped!"

With a soft sound, Jinguji Budao caught the ball with both hands, glanced blankly at Sakuragi in the distance, quickly dribbled the ball across the center line, and approached the Lingnan half.

With the acceleration of Jinguji Martial Arts, everyone in Lingnan, who had been running back to the field slowly, quickened their pace.

After Shinomiya Tianno noticed that Budo was taking the ball, he rushed directly towards Jinguji Budo, not wanting Jinguji Budo to have a fast break.

However, in the face of Shinomiya Tano's pressing, Jinguji Budao had no idea of ​​dribbling the ball to break through the defense line at all. A simple back pass directly gave the ball to Mitsui Shou, who coordinated the attack from the side.

After the basketball was shot, Budo also quickly passed Shinomiya Tianye.

Mitsui Shou, who was not far away, also sensed the opportunity on Budao's side. He didn't even take the ball, and directly slapped the basketball with his palm, and quickly passed the ball back to Budao.

The frontcourt passes two to one.

Basketball started again, Jinguji Budao directly accelerated and broke into Lingnan's three-point line, and then directly stopped and shot a mid-range jumper under the supplementary defense of Sendo Akira and Hanakata.

The basketball flew directly over the heads of Huaxing and Xiandao, and flew straight to the basket.

With a soft sound, the score came to 87:87, and the two teams scored the same again.

"Strengthen the defense! Don't let Lingnan score easily!"

After the goal, Xiangbei began to retreat quickly.

Mitsui Shou clapped his hands and shouted loudly towards the players.Amid the loud echoes from the Shonhoku players, Kenji Fujima quickly dribbled the ball into the frontcourt.

Then quickly passed the ball to Shinomiya Tianno on the side.

This time, Shinomiya Tianye didn't play any "all-court one-on-one" tricks. With one stroke of his left hand, he directly made a pick-and-roll gesture.

Seeing Sigong Tianye's gesture, everyone in Lingnan obviously showed surprise on their faces.It was Xiandao who reacted the fastest, entering the inside line directly from the penetration, and then quickly raised his position to cover Shinomiya Tianye.

Bu Dao was paying attention to the positions of other people in Lingnan when he saw Shinomiya Tianye's gesture, and he also noticed Xian Dao's movements.

When Xiandao's pick-and-roll arrived, Jinguji Budao retreated to the paint area, bypassing Xiandao's defense, and at the same time penetrated deep into his own line, guarding against the opponent's breakthrough.

However, seeing that Budo was a bit far behind, Shinomiya Tianye did not choose to speed up the breakthrough, but directly shot from a high position.

"Clang~"

The fatigue accumulated from high-intensity games is also very obvious to Shinomiya Tianye. Although his shooting posture is still standard, his control of power has obviously declined.

"Clang~"

With the crisp sound of a strike, Shinomiya Tianye's high-level shot directly collapsed out of the frame.

"rebound!"

"Backboard!"

Shinomiya Tianye's inaccurate shot was unexpected by everyone. Xiandao and Fujima yelled together, reminding the Lingnan players under the basket.

At this time, the basket has also turned into a battlefield. The inside players in Xiangbei and Lingnan are fighting in pairs, trying to occupy the best position to grab the rebound.

The basketball began to fall from the left side of the basket, and Sakuragi Hanamichi had the advantage in the fight with Hanagi, seizing the most favorable position.

With Sakuragi's voice soaring into the air, the rebound was also directly caught by Sakuragi.

"Pass the ball!"

And at the moment Sakuragi Hanamichi scored the rebound, Rukawa Feng rushed towards the frontcourt while shouting loudly at Sakuragi.

At this time, Lingnan's Xiandao and Shinomiya Tianye were still within the three-point line of Shonhoku. Both of them were attracted by the rebound and did not notice Rukawa Kaede who had already started to make a fast break.

Hanamichi Sakuragi raised the ball with one hand, and was about to pass the ball. Seeing that it was Kaede Rukawa who asked for the ball at this time, he hesitated for a while.

But it was also the time when Yingmu Huadao hesitated for a while, Shinomiya Tianye and Xiandao Akira directly surrounded Sakuragi from two directions, and together with the flower shapes, they sealed Sakuragi Huadao firmly.

Sakuragi hugged the ball in his arms, trying to protect the ball, but Shinomiya Tianye put one hand into Sakuragi's arms, holding the basketball between his wrists, and abruptly pulled the ball out of Sakuragi's arms come out.

After the basketball started, Shinomiya Tianno sent the ball directly into the basket with a small hook.

The referee did not blow his whistle, and the scoreboard on the sidelines began to dance as the basketball hit the net.

After running for a long time, Rukawa Feng also looked at Sakuragi with deep resentment when he saw Sakuragi throwing the ball, feeling speechless.

"Damn it!!!!"

"Referee, wasn't that ball a foul just now?!"

Seeing the basketball in his hand being taken away, Yingmu Huadao had nowhere to vent his anger and could only dump it on the referee.

But the referee was not used to Sakuragi, so he glanced at Sakuragi lightly and ignored the kid.

Seeing that the referee was indifferent, Sakuragi wanted to argue with the referee, but Akagi grabbed his ear and dragged him to the frontcourt.

Mitsui Shou served the ball from the bottom line, looked at Sakuragi who was taken away, shook his head speechlessly, and after giving the ball to Rukawa Kaede, he clapped his hands and organized:

"Don't worry, move steadily, there is plenty of time."

"When you get the ball, don't hold it by yourself foolishly, pass the ball more!"

Although Mitsui Shou's last words were yelled at all the players, the directionality of these words was a bit too strong.

Yingmu Huadao pursed his mouth and quickly entered the south half of the mausoleum. When passing by Shinomiya Tianye, he was still unconvinced and said:

"Just wait, I will take care of you this day!"

Shinomiya Tianye turned his head slightly, smiled at Sakuragi Hanamichi, and then turned his head to look at Jinguji Budou who entered the front field at this time, his face also became a little dignified.

"The ball just now was just luck."

"I can't be influenced by Jinguji Budo's terrifying scoring efficiency."

"When attacking, you can't be hesitant like just now. When you have an opportunity, you have to rush directly."

"With my ability, Xiangbei can't stop me."

Shinomiya Tianye thought about the mistakes he had made in the attack just now, watched Jinguji Budao approaching the front field a little bit, and then quickly posted it.

Jinguji Budo didn't intend to entangle with Shinomiya Tano, he didn't continue to stay on the outside, he went straight to the inside, and then ran back to ask for the ball at the middle distance, exactly the same as Shinomiya Tano did before.

Rukawa Feng saw the timing and passed the ball, and the basketball fell directly into Jinguji Budou's hands. Budou, who was catching the ball with one hand, quickly swiped the ball and turned around. He leaned back, and after a fake shot, he directly dropped the ball and accelerated his charge. When Miyataye came after him, he stopped abruptly and pulled out his hand.

Amazing shooting speed and terrifying fluency, even if the opponent is Shinomiya Tianye, he is still unstoppable.

The basketball flew directly over Shinomiya Tianye's head, and then plunged into the net with a crisp sound.

"Good shot! Martial arts."

"Beautiful, Senior Jinguji!"

Following Budo Jinguji's shot, Shonhoku's bench erupted into cheers.

Everyone in Lingnan looked at Jinguji Budao who had returned to defense, and felt extremely stressed.

Basketball is like this. In a point-by-point game, once the side with a slight advantage is killed by the opponent, the psychological pressure on the players will increase geometrically.

In the first half, the side under pressure was Xiangbei High School, but in the second half, the side under pressure was replaced by Lingnan.

The closer to the end of the game, the greater the pressure.

Under this kind of pressure, the players in Lingnan are also depleting their physical energy much faster than usual.

Soon, Lingnan was launching a counterattack.

Although Lingnan players are all under a lot of pressure, they can't see it at all on the surface.

Fujima's expression was still enthusiastic and calm, concentrating on the game, and the other players did not show too nervous.

The basketball was quickly passed to Tano Shinomiya, and Tano Shinomiya, who took the ball again, still raised his hand and called a pick-and-roll, and then quickly rushed towards the inner line of Xiangbei under the cover of his teammates.

Jinguji Budo, who was chasing, and Akagi Takenori, who was defending, quickly surrounded Shinomiya Tianye, one behind the other.

As Shinomiya's ball flew into the air, Budo and Akagi both jumped up and sealed the basketball in Shinomiya's hands.

"Boom!" Shinomiya Tanno's body directly pressed against Akagi Takenori's body in mid-air, and after evading in the air, the basketball in his hand hooked towards the basket.

However, at the moment Shinomiya Tianye shot the basketball, Jinguji Budo's palm stretched out directly from behind Shinomiya Tianye, and slapped the basketball with his palm.

"Tano Shinomiya, this is the end of your performance!"

"I've seen through your attack!" Jinguji Budao patted the basketball firmly and dropped the racket directly.

And after Shinomiya Tianye landed, the voice of Jinguji Budo also reached into the ears of Shinomiya Tianye.

Turning his head, Shinomiya Tianye looked at Jinguji Budao, with a heavy look between his brows.

Budou looked at Shinomiya Tano in front of him, put his right hand on his chest, and said with a smile:

"Have you ever seen an airplane fight one-on-one?"

"The plane in the back has the advantage!"

"Aerial battle, I will not lose to you, Shinomiya Tano!"
