Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 268 Climbing to the top!

Akita County's team change was officially declared a failure with Jinguji Budo's split dunk.

Coach Domoto's calculations were very loud, allowing the players to consolidate the inside line and catch Kanagawa County's offensive mistakes, and then rely on the internal and external connections of Kawada Masashi and Fukatsu Kazunari to maintain firepower.

But Domoto Goro still underestimated Jinguji Budo after all. Without Eiji Sawakita's Akita County team, there is one less player who can involve Jinguji Budo's defense.But against ordinary players, Wu Dao can allocate a considerable part of his energy for assisting defense and double-teaming.

On the court, between offense and defense.

Kazunari Fukatsu has not realized that his team's offensive system is actually difficult to maintain. In his opinion, the reason why Jinguji Budou was able to steal and slam dunk just now is simply because Kawada Masashi did not notice the enemy's bag. folder.

After entering the frontcourt with the ball, Kazunari Fukatsu still intends to repeat the same trick, calling the pick-and-roll of his teammates inside when he is close to the top of the arc.

However, this time, without waiting for Kawada Masashi to step forward, Kenji Fujima on the defensive side attacked directly and decisively, rushing forward to make a steal.

Fukatsu Kazunari, who was holding the ball, was also surprised when he faced Fujima's steal. In a hurry, he was unlucky to avoid Fujima's steal, and then prepared to speed up the charge.However, just as he looked up at the basket, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of him, covering his sight with one hand.

"Jinguji Martial Arts?!"

When Kazunari Fukatsu saw the person in front of him, he was very surprised, and then quickly turned his head to look at the backup small forward of his team, and found that the latter was cutting towards the inside at this time, and got a better chance of opening .

Without the slightest hesitation, Kazunari Fukatsu quickly hit the ball and sent it to the teammate who had already cut to the mid-range position at this time.The latter catches the ball and shoots a jumper directly.

Although Fukatsu Kazunari's ability to seize opportunities is quite good, and his players have also advanced to a suitable distance, but when the substitute from Akita County jumped up and shot, the two-meter-long mermaid Sumiya Junya, who was guarding the inner line of Kanagawa, swooped up to make up for it. Defend.

It is quite oppressive for a tall and big Yuzhuchun to live under the basket. It is difficult for ordinary players to be normal in the face of such a giant center.

Sure enough, the shooting action of Akita County's backup small forward was obviously deformed under the influence of Uozumi. The basketball hit the base of the basket and bounced out of the basket.

The basket has become a battlefield at this time. Shinomiya Tano and Kawada Masashi both sink their waists and get stuck. Shinomiya Tano is on the defensive side, and his position is closer to the basket than Kawada Masashi, occupying the best landing point.

Kawada Masashi was stuck behind Shinomiya Tano, pushing against Shinomiya Tano's back, hoping to press the opponent directly under the basket and seize the best landing position, but to Kawada Masashi's surprise, he and In the wrestling between Sinomiya and Tianye, he was the one who fell to the disadvantage!
"This guy, is he so strong?!" Kawata Masashi was also shocked by his discovery. This was the first time he competed head-on with Shinomiya Tianye, and he, who is known as the number one center in the country, was in the competition of strength. It's actually not as good as the other party's "part-time power forward".

After a soft sound of "铛~", the basketball began to fall, Shinomiya Tianye stretched out his arms, stuck in Kawada's position, and began to accumulate energy.

The basketball fell less than ten centimeters, and Shinomiya Tano finished charging and jumped up. In the sight of the audience, Shinomiya Tano's right forearm easily surpassed the basket, and then scooped the ball into his arms middle.

While grabbing the board, Shinomiya Tano's body inevitably collided with Kawada Masashi's body. After the two fell back and forth to the ground, Shinomiya Tano stood firm, but Kawada Masashi took a step back involuntarily. He stabilized his footsteps, and then looked at Shinomiya Tianye with a look of surprise.

"Fast break!" Shinomiya Tianye didn't have the time to pay attention to Kawada Masashi's eyes. After shouting, he threw the ball directly towards the frontcourt.

At this time, Budo Jinguji, Hisashi Mitsui and Fujima crossed the center line one after another and attacked the basket in Akita County.

Fujima started the fastest and took the lead to control the basketball. Not long after he received the basketball, Jinguji Budo came from behind, surpassed Fujima, crossed the three-point line of Akita County, and quickly ran towards the basket of Akita County go.At this time, the two Akita players who were chasing were still more than one meter away from Budao.

"Really, a reliable teammate!" Kenji Fujima smiled and praised when he saw Budo Jinguji enter the lane, and threw the basketball in his hand towards the basket.

While walking, Budo Jinguji saw Fujima pass the ball and began to slow down to adjust his running rhythm.When the basketball came above his head, Jinguji Budou jumped up, held the ball with both hands, and then poured the ball into the basket.

The perfectly timed alley-oop dunk completely threw off the defender.

And as Jinguji Budao scored another slam dunk, there were cheers from the surrounding stands.

"What the hell am I going to do to stop that guy's attack?"

"Can such a guy really be stopped?"

In the rest area of ​​Akita Prefecture, Eiji Sawakita, who was sitting on the seat with his head bowed in thought, and the jubilation on the court seemed to be in two worlds.The bustle around seemed to have nothing to do with him, and he couldn't hear the wailing on the bench.

At this moment, scenes of confrontation with Jinguji martial arts flashed through his mind.

He tried to find out the flaws in martial arts from the attack screen of Jinguji martial arts.

Needless to say, this kind of meditation is really useful. Eiji Zebei discovered that most of Jinguji Budo's attacks tend to attack to his left side, that is to say, Jinguji Budo's offensive habits start from his own. The right side, that is, the strong side attack.

Although Zebei is aware of this, Zebei Eiji has no way to apply what he is aware of to his defense.

Just knowing that Jinguji Budo is used to attacking to the right, there is still no way to prevent the opponent.

He also needs to find the more fatal weakness of Jinguji Budo!

Players' offensive style analysis, in later generations, will have a dedicated team analyst responsible for this part of the work, but in today's high school basketball, it is usually the coach or the players themselves who do this.

Domoto Goro has also watched a lot of Jinguji Budo game videos. He believes that to defend against players like Jinguji Budo, it can only be crushed by hard power.

Jumping higher than Jinguji Budo, running faster, more experienced, stronger, and even quite familiar with Jinguji Budo.These defensive conditions are indispensable.

And when Domoto realized this, he gave up his plan to seal Jinguji Budao to death. He only hoped that he could rely on the power of Ace Zebei to limit Jinguji Budao's score.

But the fact is very cruel. Eiji Zebei was on the field, and Jinguji Budo couldn't limit the scoring at all. The opponent scored 20+ on Zebei's head after playing for more than ten minutes, which directly broke Zebei's mentality. up.

Domoto Goro watched as Kanagawa Prefecture completely spread out its offense, and his team's offense was frequently blocked. At this time, Coach Domoto no longer had any hope for victory.

"Our Akita County really lost completely this time. None of these players in Kanagawa County are easy to get along with."

Domoto Goro sighed softly, looked at Zebei who was thinking with his head down, silently walked in front of Zebei, and squatted down.

"Zebei!" Domoto Goro whispered, but Zebei Eiji still kept his head down, as if he didn't hear it.

"Zebei!!" Domoto Goro increased the volume, and at the same time slapped Zebei Eiji's shoulder with his right hand.

The slight pain from the shoulder finally made Zebei come out of his own meditation. Looking at Coach Domoto in front of him, Zebei's eyes were empty, and he subconsciously called: "Coach."

"." Domoto Goro looked at Eiji Sawakita with empty eyes in front of him, and remained silent for a long time.

He didn't expect that his proud disciple would become what he is now. The blow that Jinguji Budo gave him was far greater than the blow that Shinomiya Tianye gave him at that time.

"Zebei, relying on thinking, it is impossible to defeat the opponent."

"No matter how good your brain is, no matter how much you deduce, when you get to the court, you should still lose."

"Basketball requires sweat to accumulate ability. I recognize your efforts. At the same time, I don't think you will lose to anyone."

"Jinguji Martial Arts is indeed very strong, but you are definitely not weak!"

Domoto Goro said a lot, but Sawakita Eiji's gaze was still empty, with no focus in his eyes.

"Zebei, speaking of three threats, which three threats?"

Domoto Goro asked suddenly, and Zebei Eiji finally had some expressions on his face when he heard these words, and there was a focal length in his pupils.

"Three-threat shooting, driving off the dribble, and"

Speaking of this, Zebei Eiji stopped and looked at Domoto Goro intently.

"And the pass! Right?"

Domoto Goro patted Zebei on the shoulder, and told Zebei the answer he didn't say.

When Domoto Goro spoke, he pointed his finger at the field, which was at the time of Akita County's offensive round.

Fukatsu Kazunari, who dribbled the ball from the backcourt into the frontcourt, was once again double-teamed by Budo Jinguji. Facing the defense of Budo Jinguji and Kenji Fujima, Fukatsu chose to pass the ball with a high throw out.

However, the intention of passing the ball in this way of passing is too obvious. Shinomiya Tianye has already run out from the inside at this moment, and stopped in front of Akita's backup small forward who cut in the air, ready to intercept.

The pass that was seen through the ball was intercepted by Shinomiya Tanno. Obviously, there was no way to fall into the hands of his teammates according to Fukatsu's idea.

With the emergence of steals, Kanagawa County once again launched a counterattack, Jinguji Budao, Mitsui Shou and Fujima rushed to the front court again.

"Yeah." Zebei nodded dully, looking in the direction of Domoto Goro's fingers, and happened to see Jinguji Budou catching the ball in the frontcourt and going to the basket alone, while the two defenders from Akita County The team members also quickly double-teamed towards Jinguji Budao.

But this time, Jinguji Budao did not choose to force a layup by himself. Instead, he turned halfway suddenly after taking off, made a fake pass, and passed the ball to Mitsui Shou who moved to the bottom corner of the three-point line.

The latter takes the ball, sticks to the three-point line and shoots a three-pointer directly.

After a soft sound, 3 points were added to Kanagawa County's scoreboard.

When Domoto Goro saw this scene, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, but he quickly adjusted his mentality, and calmly said to Zebei:

"Offensive players don't just refer to those players who can only score."

"Zebei, your characteristics are actually very distinct. You have excellent offensive power and rich scoring methods. No matter what kind of opponent you face, you will always have a way to hit the ball into the basket."

"But your biggest problem is actually that your offense is so strong that you ignore other abilities."

"I thought your problems would be exposed when you went to the United States for training camp."

"But what I didn't expect was that your talent is so good. When facing those talented monsters, you actually developed such a shooting method, so that you can still score points by yourself when facing those players."

"So at that time, I didn't point out your problem."

"But today, I'm afraid you have to face up to your own problems."

Goro Domoto was talking to Eiji Sawakita while watching the game on the field.The "problem" mentioned by Domoto Goro is actually that Zebei doesn't like to pass the ball.

Most of the opponents Zebei Eiji faced in the past, he was able to penetrate with his personal ability.But when he met Jinguji Budo today, Zebei was not enough to rely on himself. Even the pick-and-roll calling his teammates was still not enough to support him to get past Jinguji Budo's defense.

Sawakita Eiji needed more weapons to induce Jinguji Budo's defense.Zebei Eiji is very sensitive in basketball, and Domoto Goro didn't explain his problem thoroughly at all, but Zebei Eiji already knew what his coach was going to say after listening to the previous words.

Domoto's suggestion brought a glimmer of light to Zebei Eiji's dark world.There seemed to be a slight crack in the impeccable Jinguji martial arts.

"coach."

"I understand, please let me play!"

Domoto Goro's words cheered Zebei up, and he wanted to play quickly to verify his ideas.But Zebei was about to stand up, but Domoto Goro firmly held Zebei's shoulder and did not let him stand up.

"no need."

"Today's victory, let them Kanagawa."

"I hope you can remember today's failure and work hard during training."

"When we meet them next time, we will take back our honor."

What Domoto Goro said was beautiful, but there was no way to tell Zebei Eiji what he really thought.He didn't let Zebei play. In fact, the fundamental reason was that he was not optimistic about Zebei playing, which could change the team's situation.

A player who has never passed the ball in the past, now you tell him to pass the ball, and he can send the ball in a timely manner?How is this possible?
The purpose of Domoto's words to Zebei is to let Zebei have a direction to work hard. After the game, he will exercise his court vision and passing ability to make his offense more unpredictable.

Now if Zebei, who is half-level, is allowed to walk on the court, he will definitely be blown away by Jinguji Budo. At that time, Zebei Eiji has to adjust, I am afraid it will not be a matter of saying a few words.

As for the game, from the moment he replaced Eiji Sawakita, Domoto Goro had no hope.

"Zebei, take a good look at Jinguji Budo, and that Shinomiya Tianye."

"These two people are the ones you need to overcome!"

"One day, you will pull these two people down and climb to the top by yourself!"

Goro Domoto was talking to Eiji Sawakita off the court, but the players from Akita County on the court were having an extremely difficult time.

Jinguji Budo's defensive radiation range is very large, which has caused huge problems in the operation of basketball in Akita Prefecture.And Shinomiya Tianye finally stopped paddling in the second half and became active. With his terrifying footwork, the defense covered the entire basket area and the mid-range range.

When Akita County's offense was blocked, Kanagawa County's outside line also blossomed.

Jinguji Budo still maintained a fiery touch in the second half, and Mitsui Hisashi and Fujima Kenji, who replaced them, also felt fiery.

Under the three-point bombing of the three, the point difference between the two teams began to widen rapidly.

As the second half of the game progressed, there was no suspense about the outcome.

114: 71.

The former overlord of Akino Kunti, the Akita Prefecture team, lost the game with a rather ugly score.

And Kanagawa County officially reached the top!
