Heizi's Basketball: I'm not the boss?

Chapter 212 Moving the pick-and-roll?

"Hai Chang, jump ball foul."

(Basketball trivia: A jumping ball foul usually means that the jumping ball player has touched the basketball before the basketball reaches its highest point.)
The referee blew his whistle and decided the penalty, and the lively and noisy atmosphere just now fell silent for a second.

No one expected that before the game officially started, Xiaojue received a foul.

Xiang Yang put his hands on his hips and looked at Xiaohori with a speechless expression. The latter also understood that he had done something wrong and was scratching his head with a silly smile on his face.

"Smith Marseille!"

Fortunately, this is just a small episode. The foul in the jump ball phase will not be recorded as a personal foul, but will only give the right to serve to the opponent.

Netake took the basketball from the referee and handed it to Akashi. He couldn't help but look at Kobori a few more times, and muttered in his heart: Compared with the summer game...has this guy's bounce become higher again?

Before Nebu could think about it for too long, Akashi had already completed the serve and launched the first round of attack.

Roshan's offensive round.

"Run up and run up!"

Akaashi changed his previous silent playing style and loudly commanded his teammates at the beginning of the game.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Yang whistled and laughed at Akashi: "It seems that we put a lot of pressure on you? I don't usually see you yelling on the field."

Akashi didn't answer, but just made a gesture secretly, and everyone in Luoshan understood the situation and pulled towards the bottom corner.

Xiang Yang looked at the movements of everyone in Luoshan and immediately understood Akashi's intention.

"Are you... going to fight me alone at the beginning?"

Xiang Yang moved his neck a few times, squatted down slightly on his knees and stood still, his eyes full of fighting intent.

"bring it on."

Akashi felt the waves of oppression coming from Xiang Yang's body, and a golden light flashed in his eyes. "Eye of the Emperor" activates instantly!
boom! boom! boom!
The familiar and slow dribbling rhythm started from Akashi's hands. Xiangyang narrowed his eyes slightly and kept observing Akashi's offensive intentions.

And even Xiangyang, whose defensive ability has improved by several levels, will still have a shift in the body's center of gravity when facing Akashi's offense.

【Not good...】

Xiang Yang grinned, and a drop of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

【But...there is a chance! 】

In an instant, Akashi moved, holding the ball under his hips with his left and right hands alternately to break through. His body's center of gravity was very low at this moment, like an eagle flying close to the ground!
With its fierce speed and tricky angles, in a sense, just looking at the offensive threat, Akaashi possessed by a dual personality is already almost the same as Nash!

However... even if Nash himself comes to face Xiang Yang, he dare not say that he can score points against him [-]%.

At the moment when Akashi's body was about to pass by Xiangyang, Xiangyang squatted down suddenly. Taking advantage of Akashi's change of hands to increase speed, he quickly swung his right hand out and successfully hit the basketball!
beep—

Hai Chang went out of bounds and Luoshan got the ball.

The referee's whistle sounded in response, and the Haichang fans at the scene also let out a burst of cheers!

In the first individual single at the beginning of the game, Xiangyang successfully cut off Akashi's attack and gave Kaichan a good start!

"Tsk! It's a pity, the angle is too bad, otherwise we could directly steal and counterattack."

Xiang Yang looked very sorry, but he secretly glanced at Akashi out of the corner of his eye.

His words had no other purpose, just to mess with Akashi's mentality!
Regardless of any player, if he chooses singles in the first attack of the game and is directly cut out of bounds by the defender, his mentality will be affected to some extent.

It's a pity that "any player" here does not seem to include Akashi.

"Put away those little tricks of yours. I am no longer the same person I was last year."

Akashi said to Xiang Yang calmly, as he said, if it was "Akaashi Seijuro" from the previous year, and Xiang Yang had blocked the opportunity to attack, then he would have probably entered a "furious" state.

But now, Akashi has already regarded Xiang Yang as an opponent of the same level, so even if the latter completes the steal abruptly, he will not feel upset in his heart.

Looking at Akashi in this posture, Xiangyang smacked his lips and sighed: "Ah, ah, ah, ah... the way you look now is really scary."

"But I'm not the same person I was last year. That defensive black hole is gone forever!"

Xiang Yang pointed at himself with his thumb and said with a stern face: "Get to know me again, Hai Chang's defensive gate - Xiang Yang!"

Akashi glanced at Xiang Yang, and for the first time, he did not refute, but instead acknowledged: "I admit that your current defensive level is a bit scary."

"But...if you think I'm someone like Aomine who only solves problems with singles, then you're totally wrong!"

As soon as Akashi finished speaking, Lingyang had already sent the ball to his hand again. This time Akashi no longer chose to play singles, but called Hirakawa to make a pick-and-roll for him.

Xiang Yang felt as if the side of his body was next to a wall, and couldn't help but frown. He retreated and was about to get around Pingchuan's pick and roll, but suddenly found that the latter's body had quietly moved, blocking his own again. Body.

"Move the pick and roll??"

Xiang Yang was stunned, but when he realized that the referee did not blow the whistle, he immediately reacted and took two or three steps back before completely avoiding Hirakawa's pick and roll.

However, it was too late. Xiang Yang, who was unable to make up for the defense immediately, could only watch helplessly as Akashi singled out Hiroshi Ohara and hit a mid-range jumper with a light movement, contributing the first goal of the game.

"Sorry mine."

Ohara stretched out his hand to signal, but no one blamed him. After all, it was not his turn to do the job of defending Akashi.

Kise patted Ohara on the shoulder to express comfort, then turned his attention to Xiang Yang, and asked: "What are you doing, Xiao Xiang Yang, why are you so slow on defense?"

For Hai Chang, this kind of tactical defense change has long been commonplace. Even the player with the weakest strength on Hai Chang's bench will not be slow to get around the block, let alone Xiang Yang. In Kise's eyes, this was already considered a mistake.

Xiang Yang scratched his head and explained: "Didn't you see that guy just moved the pick and roll? It's really strange that the referee didn't call it?"

(Basketball trivia: A moving pick-and-roll refers to a player who tilts his body too much and moves his feet during the pick-and-roll, thereby creating illegal offensive gains for the team. This is a foul.)
"Nani? Move the pick and roll? Are you talking about Pingchuan?"

Kise was slightly stunned. He held his chin with one hand and recalled carefully for a while, then said, "No, I think he didn't move when he was picking and rolling?"

"Hey Xiao Xiangyang! I said you are not looking for excuses for your defensive mistakes, are you?"

Kise looked at Xiang Yang with a suspicious look on his face, obviously still brooding over his loss of position just now.

Hearing this, Xiang Yang raised his hand without changing his expression and put a knife on Kise's head. Seeing the latter's unconvinced expression, Xiang Yang crossed his arms and said angrily: "Do you think I will be This kind of person? I will always openly admit mistakes like this!"

"Anyway... let's serve first, and I'll observe later."

The ball returned to Hai Chang's side. Xiang Yang dribbled the ball unhurriedly across the half court and began to organize the attack.

Since Yuuki already showed his strength in the summer split, Xiangyang has never restricted his performance on the court since the start of the Winter Cup.

When Kise and Yuuki stood alone on one side of the field, Rakuzan's defense suddenly became overwhelmed!

Looking to the left, Kise needs to put at least two defensive players on his side. Looking to the right, Yuuki is also in a situation where one person cannot defend him alone. Finally, looking to the middle, Xiang Yang is standing with a harmless look on his face. That.

It can be said that when these three players appear on the same team, even a defensive team like Yangquan cannot restrict each of them!

"In Haichang's offensive round, we can see that Haichang's new tridents are already standing at the top of the arc! Oh, where are the three of them standing? You can clearly feel Luoshan's mood. I’m starting to feel anxious!”

In the live broadcast room, Bobo was still very dedicated in explaining the game to the audience.

"Xiangyang held the ball in the high post to see what he would choose. Kise came over and exchanged hand-to-hand with him. Oops! There was a fake call and Xiang Yang rushed to the inside with the ball! Luoshan's reaction was very fast. He was double-teamed. Come here, Xiangyang passed the ball without looking behind the head, and it was given to Yuuki! Yuuki took the ball and scored again! Kise on the wing received the ball, and there was a wide-open shooting opportunity. Kise took the shot... and the ball went in!"

Bobo excitedly slapped the table in front of him, and not only him, but also the Hai Chang fans at the scene were all high, as if they were on drugs!

Hai Chang's attack was so smooth, and it was so pleasing to the eye that it was not enough to describe the beauty that came out of the cooperation between Xiang Yang and the three of them!
"A very interesting piece of data. Since this year's Winter Cup, when Xiangyang, Kise and Yuuki are on the court at the same time, Kaijo's overall shooting percentage is 11 percentage points higher than usual!"

"And the highest score scored by the three of them on the court at the same time was 92 points! This has exceeded the highest record in the national competition so far. It's a pity that this data was scored during the qualifiers, so it cannot be included. In the record…”

On the field, the three Xiangyangs who had just completed a round of wonderful cooperation high-fived one after another, but soon, Akashi led Luoshan and attacked again with the ball.

Xiangyang waved his hand to signal Kise and Yuuki to take their positions. He stood at the top of the arc and waited for Akashi to attack, but his attention was focused on Takeshi Hirakawa.

[What happened to that pick-and-roll just now? 】

Xiang Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured: "Show me one more time... you disgusting guy."
