Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 55 Basketball is not played alone! (two in one)

Shinomiya Tianye's self-throwing and self-dunk cross-arm dunk pushed the atmosphere of the venue to a climax.Overwhelming cheers sent Shinomiya Tianno back to his rest area.

His strong dunk even made the referees on the sidelines prepare for the pre-match matters. It wasn't until Shinomiya Tianno returned to his team that the referees looked at each other in admiration:
"With so many junior high school games judged, I haven't seen many junior high school students who can dunk."

"It's the first time I've seen a dunk like this!"

The referee who spoke was transferred from another county, and he had never seen a match at the No. [-] High School Affiliated to Dongda University before.

"I think the scale of this game can be appropriately enlarged. With such players, fierce confrontation is inevitable."

"Let these junior high school students do their best to play basketball, and don't leave regrets in the national competition."

A middle-aged man sitting in the referee's seat waved to the other referees, looked at the players of Wushi Middle School with a sympathetic look, and said.

Although I don't know what level the other members of the No. [-] Middle School Affiliated to Dongdae University are, but the long-term referee career has given this referee a very good vision.

Even an experienced referee like him was stunned by the number nine who dunked at Dongda just now. Those little fellows from Kanagawa Prefecture must have been frightened.

The referees took a tacit look at the Wushi players. They sympathized with Wushi Middle School's experience. They encountered such a monster in the first game of the national competition. This game may leave an indelible shadow on them.The only thing the referee can do for them is to relax some penalty standards, otherwise, Wu Shi's people may be sent off before they have played the whole game.

Aggressive defensive actions are unavoidable against players whose physical fitness is far superior to their own.

"How could we win such a monster?!"

As expected, a first grader with an unstable mentality in the Wushi Middle School team wailed in pain.The main purpose of Shinomiya Tianye's slam dunk was not to boost the morale of the players in the No. [-] Middle School attached to Dongda University. The main purpose of the opponent was to destroy the confidence of Takeshi's players.

Obviously, the opponent's goal has been achieved, Wu Shi's army's morale is in turmoil, and the game has not even started yet, one by one began to fear the battle.

"Hey! What are you talking about, bastard?"

"Why can't we win?!"

"As long as there is a genius like me, there is no enemy that cannot be defeated!"

"Even if it's a substitute, cheer me up!"

The words of the first grade obviously caused Mitsui Shou's strong dissatisfaction. Although he was also shocked by the opponent's strength, the fighting spirit in Mitsui Shou's heart did not diminish at all. In Mitsui Shou's cognition, no one is He can't beat it.

Jinguji Budao also drank a big mouthful of wolfberry ginseng tea with a sullen face at this time, then silently covered the lid of the cup, put it aside, stood up, and began to stretch with his heart.

He sensed a strong sense of crisis. The No. [-] dunk just now brought him more pressure than Xiandao did at that time.At the very least, it is absolutely impossible for Xiandao to complete a slam dunk like that guy at this stage.

The opponent is probably a top ace in the third grade of junior high school. Judging from the difficulty of slam dunk alone, the opponent's bounce is probably comparable to Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi who are new to high school in the original book.

Budo, who was stretching silently at the side, obviously did not attract the attention of the team members. Now they are all around Mitsui Shou, listening to Mitsui Shou's proud words, and calming down their precarious confidence.

Only Anxi Zhengyi noticed the silent Budao, and a smile finally appeared on his gloomy face.

"It's not that there are opportunities, it depends on how to grasp them!"

"No matter how powerful the opponent is, he's just a middle school student!"

Anxi Zhengyi said to himself silently in his heart, and then clapped his hands to attract the attention of the team members.

"We are all starting to prepare, Fujii, and lead the players into the arena to warm up."

"Don't think too much now. You will only know your strength on the court."

"If you already think that you have lost in your heart, then there is no possibility of victory!"

"Go warm up!"

Anxi Zhengyi said comforting words. Although he didn't know which words were really useful, the starters finally walked onto the court and started warming up.Bu Dao followed at the back of the team, his expression relaxed, without the solemnity before, it seemed that he had adjusted his mentality.

Mitsui Shou still looked like he was number one in the world, with a face full of confidence. During the warm-up exercise, he shot three-pointers again and again, and all of them went into the net. It seemed that Mitsui Shou felt pretty good today.

On the other side of the court, several players from the No. [-] Middle School Affiliated to Dongda University also entered the court and began to warm up.It was during the warm-up stage of the two teams that the audience above the stands stopped a little, and their voices became much quieter. In such a relatively quiet environment, the warm-up time passed by every minute.

Soon, the warm-up was over, and the referee came to the middle circle and blew his whistle.The players of the two teams also returned to the rest area to listen to the coach's arrangement for the last time before the start.

"Mitsui, this game revolves around your offense."

"If the No. [-] on the opposite side is playing as a striker, you will focus on shooting and scoring, and you will use less energy to go inside."

"If the opponent pulls outside to defend you, find an opportunity to pass the ball to Budo and let him score points."

"There is only one person with a good height on the other side, and the advantage in martial arts is still great."

"At the offensive end, other players mainly assist in pick-and-rolls and rebounds."

"As for defense, it's very simple. Put them all on the inside and don't let that person have a chance to get into the penalty area."

"Budao, you go to mark that No. 9. Although you don't know how that person shoots, don't let him shoot too casually."

Masayoshi Anzai put his left arm around Mitsui Hisashi's shoulder, and his right hand around Budo's shoulder, bent over and ordered everyone.

"Wu Shi!"

"Definitely!"

Amidst the players' chants, a group of people from Wushi Middle School entered the field.At the same time, everyone from the No. 9 High School Affiliated to Dongda University also walked into the court, and the No. [-] that everyone was paying attention to, Shinomiya Tianye, walked directly into the middle circle.

"Center?" Anxi Zhengyi murmured with a condensed expression.

But the moment the opponent walked into the middle circle, there was a "ding" in Wu Dao's mind.The system notification tone, which had been silent for an unknown amount of time, sounded again today.

"Shinomiya Tianye, height 184cm, weight 77kg, strength: junior high school S grade, agility: junior high school A+ grade, body coordination: A++ grade."

"Destiny: Heaven is a genius, an invincible posture."

The system interface appeared in Budao's eyes, on which was the relevant information of the number 9.Seeing this name, Wu Dao's pupils shrank suddenly, and then his eyes fell on the column of destiny.There are only two entries in Shinomiya Tianye's Destiny column, but these two entries are colorful that Budou has never seen before, and there is a colorful atmosphere around the entries.

Seeing this, Budao silently put away the entry panel, walked up to the middle circle, and tugged at the corner of Fujii Masao who was about to jump the ball.

He knew the name Shinomiya Tano, and he had one thing to confirm.

"Budao? What are you doing?" Masao Fujii felt the pull from the corner of his clothes, and asked suspiciously when he saw Wudao when he returned home.
"Captain, let me do the jump ball, I want to try." Budao said to Fujii Masao, and then walked into the middle circle involuntarily.On the opposite side, Shinomiya Tano watched this scene with interest, with a faint smile on his face.

"you?"

"."

"Ok."

Although Masao Fujii didn't know why Budo did this, he still gave up the position of the jump ball.Budo's height is similar to his, and his bounce is better than him. Masao Fujii has no opinion on giving up the jump ball.

Bu Dao came to Shinomiya Tianye, his eyes were fixed on the handsome face in front of him, he was silent for a long time, and said in Chinese abruptly:

"The King of Heaven and Earth Tiger."

The expected standard answer did not appear, the other party slightly bent his knees and looked at Bu Dao with a puzzled expression.

"What are you looking at?" Wu Dao scratched his head, thinking that his opening method was wrong, and continued to ask in Chinese.The other party frowned even tighter, and finally said:
"I don't know what I'm talking about. If you think you can interfere with me winning the jump ball in this way, then you are wrong."

"Replacing that guy and jumping the ball with me, is it just to play such a small trick?"

Shinomiya Tianye showed disdain, raised his chin slightly, and said.

Seeing this scene, Wu Dao couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"It turned out to be an aborigine." Wu Dao rubbed his cheeks, calmed down, and at this moment, the referee, who had been watching the play for a long time, finally came to the side of the center of the two, blew his whistle, and at the same time raised the ball high thrown into the air.

"Humph!"

On the opposite side, Shinomiya Tianno snorted softly, and bounced up suddenly. The terrifying explosive force made his bullet speed reach the maximum, and his palm was pressed on the basketball in an instant.Just as Shinomiya Tianye was about to shoot the ball towards his own player, a palm was pressed on the other side of the basketball almost at the same time.

"Huh?" Shinomiya Tianye let out a surprised cry, and then slammed the basketball into the air in an instant. Even though Budo exerted force on the other side of the ball, the basketball still flew steadily towards No. [-] of No. [-] Middle School .

The player from No. [-] Middle School took a step forward and successfully held the basketball in his hands, then hugged it tightly in his arms and did not attack.

After Budo landed, he didn't worry about the loss of the jump ball, nor was he in a hurry to return to the field to defend, but instead followed Shinomiya Tianye.

"Are you the one guarding me?"

"You have to work hard, otherwise I will be very boring."

Just as Budo followed Shinomiya Tano, Shinomiya Tano's voice suddenly reached Budo's ears, and as soon as the words fell, the person who was originally in front of Budo quickly made a short body, and directly slipped past Budo's side.

Wu Dao wanted to stop him, but when he leaned against the opponent, a terrifying force came from the side. Wu Dao obviously wanted to rush to stop him, but he was abruptly bounced back by this force.

On the other hand, the forward rush continued unabated, and they quickly returned to their half, running out of a fairly wide open space.

Seeing this, the No. [-] middle school player who took the ball immediately passed the ball to Shinomiya Tianye, and after the ball was delivered, he advanced towards the Wushi middle school's half court.

Shinomiya Tianno, who got the basketball, patted the ball and slowly advanced towards the frontcourt.

"Defender? A guard going to the jump ball?"

"Or a one-man team?"

Off the court, Anxi Zhengyi saw this scene full of doubts, thought for a long time, and thought of a possibility.The number 9 who holds the ball on the court may be the opponent's trump card, the all-around trump card.

That kind of one-man team is not uncommon in the middle school arena, but Anxi Zhengyi just shook his head when he had such an idea.Because in his profile, that player doesn't average a lot of points per game.

Just as Anxi was thinking about it, all the players from No. [-] Middle School and Wushi in the stadium had already arrived in Wushi's half.

Shinomiya Tianye slowly took the ball into the frontcourt, glanced around, showing a strong intention to pass the ball.

Standing in front of Shinomiya Tano, Jinguji Budou didn't look at him, his eyes were fixed on the basketball and Shinomiya Tano's hands, and he paid attention to the opponent's feet from the corner of his eye.

Although it was confirmed that the other party was an aborigine, Budao's vigilance did not drop at all. The two colored entries in the system panel were too eye-catching, and the "invincible posture" made Budao raise his defense against the person in front of him.

Moreover, the other party's S-level strength Martial arts just had a taste of it, and the terrifying power from that body is enough to make Martial arts go all out.

"The center of gravity is so low, do you think I can't shoot three-pointers?"

Shinomiya Tianye approached the three-point line with the ball, and said suddenly, Wu Dao raised his head subconsciously when he heard the words, and saw the boy in front of him put his hands together and shot a three-pointer.

Under Wu Dao's surprised eyes, the basketball flew towards the basket, and Wu Dao could tell that the direction of the shot was right.

"Dang~" However, unexpectedly, the basketball hit the edge of the frame directly and collapsed out of the frame.

"." Shinomiya Tianye still kept shooting, but his original confident expression froze there. He didn't expect that the three-pointer with a small open space actually missed it.
"It turned out to be a joke." Wu Dao secretly said in his heart, watching the scramble under the basket, he was ready.

"Crack!" There was a soft sound in the court, No. [-] of the No. [-] middle school successfully grabbed the offensive rebound, and after landing, he held the ball in his arms, and found an opportunity to pass it to No. [-] on the outside.

"Tian Ye, you bastard, calm down for me, stop taking three-pointers with your weak chicken!"

No. [-], who received the ball, lobbed the ball high to Shinomiya Tianno while roaring, and the parabola of the basketball was very high.

"Stupid, don't pass the ball like this, this kid is not the rotten fish and shrimps I met before."

Seeing his teammate lobbing the ball to him, Shinomiya Tianye was not only not happy, but cursed instead.At the same time, his body was directly attached to Budo's back, hoping to use his own strength to influence Budo to take off.

However, Bu Dao is also very smart. The moment he felt the power coming from behind, he immediately took a step forward and got away from the opponent. At the same time, he quickly jumped up and intercepted the ball.

Although Jinguji Budo's bounce is not as good as Shinomiya Tianye's line, it is not weak. This kind of pass may not be intercepted by junior high school students who are around 170cm, but it is not a problem for Budo.

Bu Dao, who caught the ball, quickly dropped the ball and rushed directly towards the frontcourt.However, he had just taken two steps when a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and slapped the basketball with one hand.

"What a quick reaction!" Bu Dao was surprised at the same time, he pushed the ball towards his side with the palm of his hand, and passed the basketball towards the side while walking.

On the other side, Mitsui Shou just ran from the three-point line, successfully received the basketball and rushed towards the frontcourt.Seeing this scene, Shinomiya Tano raised his brows and turned around to pursue Mitsui Shou, ignoring Budo.

Shinomiya Tianye's speed is very fast, and his stride is also very large. When Mitsui Shou was near the opponent's three-point line, he successfully chased Mitsui Shou.

It was also because of the existence of Shinomiya Tano that Mitsui Shou shocked his body and was forced to stop the ball, but at this moment, a figure passed by the two of them, and Shinomiya Tano noticed this from the corner of his eye. The body adjusted its position slightly, ready to change defense at any time.

Mitsui Toshiya turned his head to look at the figure rushing inside, flicked his wrist, and the basketball was passed directly to the ground.

"Good pass!" Budao Jinguji received the ball smoothly, combined the ball quickly, and jumped towards the basket with two big strides.

"Modao!" However, at this moment, a figure suddenly jumped out from Budao's side, screaming violently and stretching his arms to block all the routes of Budao's layup.

Seeing this scene, Bu Dao was not surprised but delighted, he changed his layup in the air, and the basketball was directly passed back to Mitsui Shou behind him.

Histomi Mitsui, who was catching the ball, had no hindrance anymore, adjusted his posture and shot directly.His position at this time is near the free throw line, and it is too easy for Mitsui Shou to make a mid-range shot from such a distance.

"Shh!"

The basketball fell directly into the net, and Wushi Middle School scored the first two points in the national competition.

"It's really lucky that you can catch up with me from that position, but basketball is not played alone."

Jinguji Budao said with a smile, this wave of coordinated goals has greatly boosted morale, and Budou's mood can't help but feel a lot easier, a little scared and a little teasing in his words.

Fortunately, he kept an eye out and didn't make a foolish layup, otherwise what greeted him would be a super hot pot.

Shinomiya Tano did not disappoint him either. While defending Mitsui Shou near the free throw line, he was able to chase into the inside line. Even Budo couldn't help but be a little moved by such terrifying athletic ability.

After saying this, Budo and Mitsui Shou high-fived, and then the two began to return to the field.

Under the basket, Shinomiya Tano squatted down and picked up the basketball with one hand. Looking at the backs of Budao and Mitsui Hisashi, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It's interesting, it's not some rotten fish and shrimp after all."
