Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 158 The real reveal, Mitsui's achievements in the United States!

Shinomiya Tianye ignored Jun Uozumi and Ikegami who were open inside, and scored against the defensive levers of Takenori Akagi and Oishi Chiba.The exaggerated and stretched movement of the rod drew cheers from the audience.

Compared with the boring game between Hainan and Buri, Shinomiya Tianye immediately aroused the interest of the audience with just one ball.

"Whether it's staying in the air or bouncing, this guy is terrifyingly strong!"

Akagi Takenori silently walked towards the basketball on the ground and prepared to serve from the bottom line. He glanced at the Lingnan people who had begun to return to defense. Akagi's heart felt like a huge rock was crushed, and he was a little out of breath.Although it wasn't the first time he faced the attack of Shinomiya Tianye, but no matter which time, the pressure brought by Shinomiya Tianye was extremely huge.

No opponent in Xiangbei's previous games could bring such a feeling to Akagi.

"Return the ball!" Ryota Miyagi received a pass from Takenori Akagi near the baseline, and after receiving the basketball, he ran towards the frontcourt with the ball and shouted to everyone in Xiangbei.

According to coach Anxi's arrangement for this game, in the first half of the game, Mitsui Shou will lead the offense.The duty of Jinguji Budo in the first half is to help defend the inside line and preserve enough physical energy.

Xiangbei High School's offense around Mitsui Shou has specially arranged offensive tactics. Aiming at Mitsui Shou's scoring characteristics of "full-picture guns", continuous pick-and-rolls help Mitsui Shou get enough shooting gaps, which is the main attack on the offensive end of Xiangbei in the first half. Law.

Ryota Miyagi dribbled the ball into the frontcourt and approached the top of the three-point arc.Mitsui Shou and Jinguji Budao were located at 45° on both sides of the three-point line.On the inside, Akagi Takenori and Chiba Oishi advanced to the free throw line. As long as they are a few steps closer, they can help Jinguji Budo or Mitsui Shou on both sides to make a pick-and-roll.

"Are you standing so far away, are you afraid to confront me?!"

Shinomiya Tianye stepped on the three-point line and stood two meters away from Jinguji Budo.He noticed that the positions on Xiangbei's side were very shallow, and he didn't seem to have any intention of cutting into the inside line. He was puzzled and said tentatively at the same time.

"Don't worry." Budo smiled, and quickly started after Miyagi fell to the designated position, as if he was going to go around Shinomiya Tiano and insert the inside line.Just now Budo made some moves, and Shinomiya Tianno also reacted quickly, and immediately posted Budo, and he moved sideways with his back to the basket. Obviously, he was guarding Jinguji Budo from entering the basket.

However, Budou had only run a few steps, and quickly ran back, not only away from the basket, but also near the top of the arc. At the same time, Miyagi Ryota quickly gave the ball to Budao, and followed the direction of the three-point line towards the court. Run to the place just vacated by Martial Arts on the left.Shinomiya Tianye's follow-up speed was a bit slow, and he hesitated a little when he chose to pursue Budo and defend Miyagi.

After thinking about it, he still chose to mark Budo, and Budo had just held the ball, and Mitsui Hisashi on the other side had already leaned over, standing firmly behind Shinomiya Tano, and made a pick-and-roll.

"It really is this guy!" Shinomiya Tano narrowed his eyes slightly, he had already guessed that the Shonhoku Club would focus on Jinguji Budo, so when Mitsui Toshiro came to pick and roll, Shinomiya Tano showed such an expression on his face .

The pick-and-roll was formed, and Jinguji Budo no longer wasted time, and quickly dropped the ball to break through in the direction of Mitsui Shoushi's pick-and-roll.Xiandao Akira, who was originally chasing Mitsui Shou, also noticed Budao's advance, decisively gave up and continued to pursue Mitsui Shou, and directly stopped in front of Budao.And Shinomiya Tano, who was picked and rolled, also oppressed from Budo's side and rear,
Xiandao and Shinomiya Tianye had a perfect understanding, and in an instant, they formed a double-team on both sides of Budao.

"Beautiful defense! It is impossible for Jinguji Budo to attack with the ball again!"

In the rest area in the south of the mausoleum, Kenji Fujima was delighted to see that Xiandao and Shinomiya Tianye were about to complete the double-teaming.He has watched the Xiangbei game and knows the strength of Budo, but he also believes that even if it is Jinguji Budo, once it falls into the encirclement of Xiandao and Shinomiya Tianye, it is impossible to have a chance to score.

"Here we come!" Budao glanced at him, and from the corner of his eye, he noticed Shinomiya Tano who was coming, and before the opponent got too close, he quickly stopped the ball and jumped up, but this time, Budao didn't shoot towards the basket.When he took off, his body turned sideways.Where, Mitsui Shou stood outside the three-point line, already in an open state.

"Mitsui Kotobuki! Go defend Mitsui Kotobuki!" Shinomiya Tano immediately noticed Jinguji Budo's gaze, and before he could take off to intercept, the basketball flew out of Budo's hands and flew straight towards Mitsui Kotobuki.

Following Shinomiya Tano's shouting, Uekusa, who was originally defending Miyagi, hurried towards Mitsui Shou. At this time, Mitsui Shou had already lifted the basketball, and adjusted his rhythm between breaths and breaths.

The basketball flew out of Mitsui Shou's hands and flew straight towards the basket.

It takes a few seconds to adjust for an open three-pointer. Such a ball is too easy for Mitsui Shou.

"Shh!"

With a soft sound, the basketball was hollowed into the net.Although Mitsui Shou scored a three-pointer, the numbers on the scoreboard jumped, 3:2, and Xiangbei High School, which lost the opening jump ball, took the lead.

This round of Xiangbei's attack took 15 seconds. The attack speed is not fast, but it is not too slow.

To sum up, Xiangbei's offense is very organized, which is very different from Xiangbei's previous games.

"Has Xiangbei High School started to show the true strength of the team?!" Hainan, who played against Xiangbei High School, can clearly feel that Xiangbei today is different from before.

When Shohoku played against them in Hainan, they played "superstar basketball". As the name suggests, Shohoku's previous games used Jinguji Budo as the core to tear apart the opponent's defense. Akagi, Chiba, Miyagi and even Mitsui in Shohoku Shou and these people are just tools for Jinguji Budo.

But today, Shonhoku's style of play is obviously different from before. Jinguji Budo, who is good at holding the ball, actually passes the ball without making any offensive attempts. This is very inconsistent with the characteristics of Jinguji Budo's previous games.

Of course, Lingnan can also see the problems that Hainan can see. Shinomiya Tianye and Xiandao looked at each other. Although they didn't speak, after the simple exchange of eyes, the two had a tacit understanding in their hearts.

Offensive and defensive conversion.

With Qiuquan changing hands, the defensive side became Xiangbei High School.

Different from the usual defensive system of returning to the field and playing zone defense, Xiangbei's defense today has also undergone some subtle changes.

Miyagi Ryota, who should have returned to the field long ago, stayed in the front field, surrounded by Tomoyuki Uegusa, and the rest of the Shonhoku people returned to their own half early to defend.

This strange defensive formation caused everyone in Lingnan to be surprised, and they didn't understand what the hell was going on in Xiangbei.

"Those guys in Xiangbei don't naively think that they can complete the steals in the backcourt alone, which will affect the operation of our Lingnan basketball?"

Coach Tian Gang frowned, not understanding what Xiangbei was doing, but because he didn't know what Xiangbei was thinking, he was even more afraid of it in his mind.

On the court, Lingnan's Yuzhu served Zhi Cao.Uekusa, who was holding the ball, didn't dare to dribble the ball against Miyagi Ryota's close defense, and threw it directly to Xiandao who responded.

With two simple passes, Miyagi was left far behind. When Sendo held the ball for halftime, Miyagi was still following Utsuka, and seemed not in a hurry to return to defense.

Xiandou didn't care about Ryota Miyagi who was slow to return to the defense. While bringing the ball close to the three-point line, he looked for the position of Tamano Shinomiya.

Immortal Dao glanced over, and at this time, Shinomiya Tianye was facing Jinguji Budao with his back, moving slowly but firmly, squeezing towards the inside line little by little.Shinomiya Tianye's strength is much higher than Budo's, but he doesn't seem to be in a hurry to catch the ball against Budo. Instead, he exerts his strength slowly, evenly, and continuously.

Shinomiya Tianye's power oppression is like a professional tug-of-war athlete, not the kind of "one-two-three, one-two-three" force, but a little bit of continuous output.Facing such an offensive, Bu Dao could only put his hands on the opponent's back, trying to maintain his position.

But his strength is not as strong as Shinomiya Tianye. With the continuous pressure of Shinomiya Tianye, both of them have reached the free throw line.

"Hey!" Arriving at the designated position, Shinomiya Tianye suddenly increased his power output, directly knocking Budao back half a step, then raised his right hand high, asking for the ball from Xiandao.

Xiandao, who was holding the ball, didn't think about it, and immediately lobbed the ball to Shinomiya Tianye.

Shinomiya Tano, who caught the ball, turned his head slightly to look at Jinguji Budo, and took the ball and chiseled hard at Budo's defense line.He didn't think about turning around to avoid Jinguji Budo's defense at all. Shinomiya Tianye seemed to use strength to forcefully beat Jinguji Budo.

"Boom!" Shinomiya Tianye's back slammed hard on Budao's chest, and the terrifying force made Jinguji Budao's breathing stagnate.But just as Shinomiya Tianye was about to hold the ball and exert strength again, a thin figure suddenly jumped out from the side and slapped the basketball in Sinomiya Tianye's hand.

"Miyagi Liangtian?! When did this guy come over?!"

The basketball flew out of Shinomiya Tano's hands, and the rushing Miyagi picked up the snatched basketball and began to counterattack with the ball.As Miyagi approached, Shinomiya Tianye didn't notice the opponent's existence at all, until the basketball was cut off, he belatedly looked at the position of Tomoyuki Uekusa on the court.

"So that's how it is! Xiangbei originally planned this!"

Shinomiya Tianye's feet suddenly exerted force, like a speeding shell, chasing towards Miyagi.He already understood why Xiangbei arranged for Miyagi not to return to the field to defend immediately.

The purpose of Xiangbei is to keep Miyagi's energy out of the sight of everyone in Lingnan, so that Miyagi can have a certain amount of free time on the court.

Just imagine, when you attack, will you pay special attention to the defenders who have been thrown away as early as the serving stage?

Although Shinomiya Tianye's basketball vision is very good, but as for attacking, he will pay attention to whether there is anyone approaching in his half-court direction.

Xiangbei steals the fast break, and Miyagi dribbled the ball for a few meters when he heard the sound of "huhu" breaking the wind behind him.Without any hesitation, Miyagi directly passed the ball to Mitsui Shou who was already running towards the frontcourt.

Mitsui Shou caught the ball and quickly crossed the Lingnan half. Behind him, Xiandao followed closely behind him.Xiandao's pursuit is very fast. What is certain is that when Mitsui Shou hits the inside of Lingnan with the ball, Xiandao will definitely be able to give Mitsui Shou a head-on blow.

"Is it too late?!" Mitsui Shou accelerated, tilted his head slightly to glance at the position of Xiandao, and when he was close to the three-point line in Lingnan, he suddenly closed the ball and made a sudden stop. With a side step, the distance between him and Xiandao was instantly opened, and then quickly Upside down shot.

From stopping the ball to shooting, it took Mitsui Hisashi a total of only one second. Not to mention the speed of the shot, the choice of attack also surprised the chasing Xiandao and Shinomiya Tianye.

Fast break, one-on-one in the frontcourt, and the offensive player's position is closer to the basket.

Under such conditions, I am afraid that it is impossible for someone to choose to use an emergency stop and side step three-pointer as the final offensive method, because such an attack is unreasonable.Mitsui Shou took advantage of this unreasonableness, so that he did not have the interference of Xiandao when he shot.

Because when Mitsui Shou shot the ball, Xiandao didn't stop, even if he was such a turbulent player in Xiandao, he would never have thought that Mitsui Shou would shoot a three-pointer in this situation.

Poor shot selection, independence, conceit, stupidity, this kind of thought just came to Xiandao's mind, and then it was shattered by a crisp netting sound.

"Shin actually went in?!" Xiandao turned his head to look at the basket, and happened to see the basketball fall from the net. For a moment, Xiandao opened his mouth slightly in shock.

"How is this possible?!" Shinomiya Tano, Ikegami and the others' pursuit was long overdue. Seeing Mitsui Shou's fast-break three-pointer, Shinomiya Tano let out a low cry of disbelief.For a poor offensive slugger like him who shoots three-pointers, Mitsui Shou's goals are too unreal.

Even Budou Jinguji, who was thinking of assisting Hisashi Mitsui's attack, was a little dazed at this moment. Even as a teammate, Budou never thought that Hisashi Mitsui would play like this.

This. Really. Too crazy!
"Easy!" Mitsui Hisashi exclaimed cheerfully, with a bright smile on his face.

Hearing Mitsui Hisashi's slightly arrogant celebration, Bu Daocai finally covered his head and shook his head with a smile.

I don't know when it started, Bu Dao naively thought that he was the strongest scorer in Xiangbei High School, but he seemed to have forgotten that Mitsui Toshi was the absolute core of Wu Shi back then.

Although after Budo joined Shonhoku, Mitsui Shou had fewer shots in the game, but don't forget that Mitsui Shou led the team with a single core back then, and almost broke Xiangyang's top trump card.

Mitsui Shou's scoring ability has never been lost to anyone.

At 6:2, Xiangbei led by four points. Lingnan obviously won the jump ball, but fell behind Xiangbei by 4 points.

The attack power shown by Mitsui Shou also made the hearts of Shinomiya Tianye, Xiandao and others sink.This second-year captain in Xiangbei seems to be very difficult to deal with. His degree of difficulty may not be inferior to that of Jinguji Budo.

"Zhicao, remind me of the location of Miyagi."

At the transition of offense and defense, Shinomiya Tianye gave an order to Tomoyuki Uekusa before running to the front court, and then jogged towards the front court with a solemn face.

Less than 1 minute into the game, with a 4-point difference, as the trump card of Lingnan, Shinomiya Tianye must stand up at this time to help the team stabilize the situation.
