Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 162 Give him a little confrontation!

After Akagi scored the ball, Lingnan High School quickly counterattacked, but it was not Shinomiya Tianno who was facing Jinguji Budao, but Xiandao who was facing Mitsui Shou.

Tomoyuki Uekusa gave the ball to Sendo after holding the ball for half the court. Faced with Mitsui Hisashi’s defense, Sendo made a false pass, because Sendo would pass the ball to Shinomiya Tiano’s play too deeply. People's hearts, Mitsui Hisashi on the defensive side didn't want to block directly sideways, which gave Xiandao a chance to stand alone.

As Xiandao rushed into the inside line and scored the ball, the point difference between the two teams was once again narrowed.

It was Shonhoku's turn to attack again. This time, Budou did not continue to stand outside the three-point line and wait for his teammates to pass the ball, but tried to cross Shinomiya Tiano and cut into the mid-range position.Obviously, Budo's plan was seen by the people in Lingnan, and Jun Uozumi, who was guarding the inside line, also changed his position slightly. While blocking Akagi, he tried to keep his body as close to Budo's side as possible to make up for the defense.

Shinomiya Tano, who was facing up against Jinguji Budo, obviously knew Budo's plan. He had suffered such a loss before, and he didn't want to make the same mistake a second time. Therefore, when Budo tried to cut inside, Shinomiya Tano firmly I followed behind Bu Dao, not wanting to let Bu Dao catch the basketball comfortably.

As a player who relies on shooting as his main scoring method, his comfort and discomfort when catching the ball will largely determine the accuracy of his shooting.Because if catching the ball is uncomfortable, the shooter needs to adjust the basketball position and rhythm by himself, and these adjustments will bring variables to the shooting.

An excellent point guard can often get the ball into the hands of his teammates in the most comfortable state. Obviously, Miyagi is an excellent guard.

Jinguji Budo speeded up his running frequency in order to get rid of the entanglement of Shinomiya Tianye. After another air cut was stared to death, he resolutely ran back from the inside to the middle distance. At that time, Miyagi Ryota had already sent the basketball into the hands of Budo.

The timing of the pass is very good, and the position of the basketball is also very comfortable.

Budo caught the ball without any hesitation, took the ball and turned back directly. Shinomiya Tianno, who was chasing the ball, obviously did not expect Budo to hit the iron once before. It flew out from Bu Dao's hands.

"Snapped!"

"Shh!"

The basketball hit the backboard from a 45-degree angle and hit the net, and Budo's flipping back was crisp and neat, which left a deep impression on Shinomiya Tano.He had done his best in the defense just now, his palm had already completely covered Budo Jinguji's face, Shinomiya Tianye was sure that his "eye-covering defense" definitely blocked Budo's sight.

But the other party is not disturbed at all.

"This kid, has his mentality not been affected after he missed the shot? Facing my defense, his shots are still so decisive."

"Sure enough, you can't underestimate him!"

Shinomiya Tianye secretly praised him, Jinguji Budao's psychological quality and shooting instinct surprised him a little.

Between offense and defense.

Everyone in Xiangbei noticed that the number of offensive methods of Lingnan High School seemed to have changed, and the offensive system originally built around Shinomiya Tianye had undergone tremendous changes.

The person who attacked with the ball changed from Shinomiya Tianye to Xiandao, and the reason was that in this round, the player who completed the finish on Lingnan's side was still Xiandao.

Xiandao held the ball in the frontcourt, and Shinomiya Tanno went up and made a pick-and-roll for Xiandao.Both Budo and Mitsui Hisashi were more wary of Shinomiya Tano than Sendo, so when Xiandao started to break through under the cover of Shinomiya Tano, Budo didn't choose to switch defense at the first time, and still marked Shinomiya field.

Mitsui Hisashi, who was stuck, was unable to keep up with Xiandao's pace in the first place, allowing Xiandao to advance to the middle distance, an easy open shot, and scored the ball.

The two goals scored by Xiandao felt very relaxed. He cut two goals from Xiangbei's head in an understatement. The whole process was smoother and easier than when Shinomiya Tianye was attacking with the ball. As if defenseless.

Conceding two goals on the same person in a row, everyone in Xiangbei also noticed something was wrong.

"Budao, there was a problem with the ball handling just now. Next time, if Shinomiya Tianye sets up a pick-and-roll for Xiandao, the two of us will switch defenses."

Hisashi Mitsui received a pass from Miyagi at the center line, and while carrying the ball, he said to Budo who was still covering the dribble beside him.

"Yeah!" Budao was actually aware of his own problems. He paid too much attention to Shinomiya Tianye, and he had forgotten that Lingnan High School was not a one-man team from the beginning to the end.Xian Daozhang is also Lingnan's trump card.

Like their Xiangbei, Lingnan is a standard three-core system, and even their three-core system is more mature than that of Xiangbei.

After responding to Mitsui Hisashi, Budo sank into the bottom corner along the three-point line, and he didn't stay in the bottom corner for too long. Seeing Shinomiya Tano follow up, he immediately crossed the bottom line towards the inside line.

When Takenori Jinguji crossed the inside line, Takenori Akagi cleverly helped to block the pursuing Shinomiya Tianye, giving Jinguji Takenori another chance to catch the ball close to the basket.

However, the position where Mitsui Shou held the ball was a little far away from Budo, and when he was waiting for him to throw the ball to Budo, Shinomiya Tianye's defense was already in place.

Jinguji Budo grabbed the ball with one hand, leaned against Shinomiya Tanno with his back, held the ball flat in front of his body, tilted his head slightly and looked at Shinomiya Tanno from the corner of his eye.

His height is 4~5cm higher than that of Shinomiya Tianye, and his wingspan is also longer than that of the opponent. Therefore, although Budo's catching action looks rough, he can indeed make full use of his body advantage to prevent the basketball from being broken.

Michael Jordan's most classic way of holding the ball was put on the field of the Kanagawa Prefecture Competition by Jinguji Budo.

"Ohhh!!! Jinguji Budou's posture of catching the ball is similar to that of Michael Jordan! This guy, put it on!"

"Tano Shinomiya, steal him! Steal him!!"

Budo's way of holding the ball caused some commotion. The audience who supported Lingnan shouted loudly, wanting Shinomiya Tanno to teach Budo some lessons. In their view, Budo's move was just to show off.

But Shinomiya Tianno, who was facing off against Jinguji Budo, had no such thoughts at all in his mind.Budao's position at this time is only about three or four meters away from the basket. With Budao's stride, once an opportunity arises, he can take off and layup with one stride.At the same time, Budo's shooting percentage is quite high when he is so close to the basket.

There are too many offensive options that martial arts can make.

"This position is too close to the basket!" Tamano Shinomiya looked solemn, thinking so in his heart, his body also moved quickly, and Taano Shinomiya crossed his arms on Budo's back, although he didn't exert any strength. , but he is ready for confrontation, as long as Wu Dao dares to fight with his back, he will use his own strength to counter it.

Sure enough, just as Shinomiya Tianye reacted, Jinguji Budou quickly received the ball, and after exploding the ball once, he slammed his back fiercely at Shinomiya Tianye.He had been prepared for a long time and exerted force at the same time, his arms obviously did not move outwards, but the force transmitted to Wu Dao was extremely terrifying.

With the power of this counterattack, Wu Dao quickly took a step forward with the ball away from the basket, turned around quickly, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and made a shooting motion.

Jinguji Budo's movements were obviously expected by Shinomiya Tano, and he directly raised his center of gravity and flew forward. This time, he took the absolute initiative, and even if Budo leaned back, he would definitely be able to complete the block.But Shinomiya Tianye kept an eye out, his feet did not leave the ground to prevent Budo from making fake moves.

Sure enough, Jinguji Budou's next reaction was guessed by Shinomiya Tano. Jinguji Budou, who raised the ball with one hand, had no intention of shooting at all. The pivot foot did not move, and the basketball he held high quickly closed down, which seemed to be preparation breakthrough.

"Opportunity!" The moment Jinguji Budo received the ball, Shinomiya Tianye keenly sensed the arrival of the opportunity, stepped forward quickly, and poked the basketball in Budo's hand with one hand. If Budo was about to break through, he would be able to Accurately complete the steal.

However, something unexpected happened to Shinomiya Tianye. Jinguji Budou, who had already received the ball and was about to break through, quickly combined the ball and pulled it out the moment Shinomiya Tianno made a shot.

The extremely quick shot made Shinomiya Tiano's steal fail.

The basketball flew out of Budao's hands and fell into the net precisely.

"Well done! Student Jinguji!!!" Cheers from his teammates erupted from the rest area in Xiangbei, Bu Dao smiled towards the rest area, trotted back to defend.

"Coach Tian Gang, Jinguji Budao has begun to enter the state. We Lingnan, do we need to change our defensive strategy at this time?"

"The players on the field don't seem to realize, should we call a timeout?!"

In the rest area of ​​Lingnan, Kenji Fujima, who has been paying attention to the trend of the game, saw Jinguji Budo scoring the ball again. He couldn't hold back his temper and asked Coach Tian Gang beside him.

"Oh? Call it a timeout? Why?" Coach Tian Gang clasped his hands in front of his chest. Hearing Fujima's question at this time, a smile appeared on his face.He was very happy when some students discussed this issue with him.

"Isn't this obvious? Xiangbei's offense has begun to focus on Jinguji Budo, but our defense is on Mitsui Shou."

"And it can be seen that although Shinomiya Tianye is indeed very strong, isn't he also unable to stop Jinguji Budao?"

"In order to curb Xiangbei's scoring, isn't it the best way to let other players help defend at this time?"

Fujima said what was in his heart, and the Hanakata and other players on the side nodded after hearing Fujima's analysis. They could also see the situation on the court, and they all thought that what Fujima said was fine.

"Hehe, yes, your idea is not wrong. If it is in any other team, this timeout needs to be called."

"However, Fujima! You have just come to Lingnan, and you don't know much about the situation in the team and the personalities of the players."

Coach Tian Gang said, looking at the field.continued:

"As a coach, the performance of the team is of course important, but the growth of the players is what the coach should focus on the most."

"Jinguji Budo is indeed very good, with excellent height, excellent wingspan, terrible athletic ability, good strength and soft shooting touch."

"The most important thing is his terrorist threat in the low post. Every action can be easily converted into scoring. Watching him play, I seem to see Olajuwon with Jordan's shooting skills."

"I also know very well that even if it is Shinomiya Tanno, if he fights against Jinguji Budo in a low position, he may not get much benefit."

As soon as Coach Tian Gang finished speaking, Fujima couldn't wait to ask: "Then why don't you ask other players to help you defend?"

"Yes, Jinguji Martial Arts is very strong. He seems to have never been deflated on the court."

"but."

"Our Shinomiya Tianye, has he ever suffered a disadvantage?!"

"As long as Tian Ye can defeat Jinguji Budo, his confidence will reach an unprecedented height, and the belief of invincibility will be deeply engraved in his mind, which is very important for his playing career. "

"It doesn't matter whether we win or lose this game. It doesn't matter what our ranking is in the national competition, no matter what group our Lingnan will be assigned to in the national competition, it doesn't matter."

"The important thing is that Tian Ye can grow through this game. His future still has a long way to go. As a coach, I can't hold him back!"

The more Coach Tian Gang said, the brighter his eyes became. He didn't care if Kenji Fujima could understand what he meant, so he didn't continue to explain to Fujima.

However, although it is not called a timeout to prevent other players from helping Shinomiya Tianye to fill his position, Coach Tianoka will not sit back and watch his players be at a disadvantage.Coach Tian Gang, who had been sitting on the bench, suddenly stood up and yelled at the players who organized the attack on the court.

"Xiandao, Zhicao! Give the ball to Tian Ye and let him hit it!"

"Tianye, what are you dawdling about, you idiot?! You play soft and weak, don't you have enough to eat?!"

"You can't defend against one fight at a time. If you can't fight, just roll down and rest!"

"Give me a confrontation! Give that guy a little confrontation!!!"

Off the field, Coach Tian Gang's words were full of love for Shinomiya Tianye, but when he stood up, he immediately turned into an angry rotk, and there were not many good words out of his mouth.

Coach Tian Gang's furious appearance and angry words almost spread to most of the arena. For a while, the audience in the stands and everyone in Xiangbei on the other side of the stadium looked at him.

"Hohohohoo" Coach Anxi chuckled, then pushed his glasses, his expression became serious, and he secretly sighed in his heart.

"Coach Tian Gang's thoughts seem to be the same as mine."

Whether it is coach Anxi from Xiangbei or coach Tian Gang from Lingnan, both of them regard this game as a testing ground for their players, and their opponents are the whetstones they prepare for their players.

But in the end who sharpens the knife for whom depends on the performance of the players themselves, as well as the invisible confrontation between the coaches.

On the court, Shinomiya Tanno, who was inexplicably sprayed, slapped his cheeks, a little embarrassed.

The last time Coach Tian Gang got angry with him was the last time.

However, Coach Tian Gang's words can be regarded as a reminder to him, and Shinomiya Tianye is also preparing to do the same.

How to deal with Jinguji Budo, Shinomiya Tianye has already deduced in his heart.

"Then go to confrontation! Stronger confrontation, more oppressive attack!"
