The audience seats were already in an uproar at this time. The warm-up alone was so exciting and thrilling. One can imagine how exciting the real game would be.

On the other side, the Okayama players were also surprised after seeing Shigure Akito's long three-pointer at such a close distance on the court.

This was the first time in their junior high school basketball career that they had seen a player who could shoot three-pointers so ridiculously high.

"You are indeed very strong, Shigure Akito."

"But on the court, I won't let him get such an easy shot. It doesn't matter how far away he is. If he can't shoot, it's like he has nothing~"

Okayama's shooting guard, Tosei Kuromiya, laughed heartily. His cheerful voice seemed out of place with the calm atmosphere of Okayama, but everyone was obviously used to it.

Because they knew very well that Kamimiya was just a guy who spoke in that style, but in his actions, he was a down-to-earth "Okayama".

But even so, Captain Hagioka Kasayuki still reminded: "Don't be careless."

"Hmm~"

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

It didn't take long.

Warm-up time is over.

When the referee blew the whistle, the starting players of both teams came to the center circle to shake hands. The starting lineup of Okayama Junior High School was the same as predicted by Coach Platinum, and the lineup did not change at all.

C, 193cm, Hagioka Kasayuki.

Pf, 187cm, Tian Jincheng.

Sf, 185cm, Shinya Hino.

Sg, 185cm, Kamimiya ascended to the world.

Pg, 183cm, temple ground.

When Shigure Akito stood close to shake hands with the other person, at such a close distance, he could directly feel the pressure from the other person's height. For a junior high school student, he was really too tall!

No wonder Coach Platinum suddenly changed the starting lineup in this game.

C, 190cm, Masaaki Okura.

PF, 184cm, Sho Izawa.

Sf, 183cm, Utsumi Masahiko.

Sg, 176cm, Shigure Akito.

Pg, 175cm, built by Nijimura.

In the highly anticipated final game, Teiko made the first lineup change, letting Nijimura Shuzo, who had always played power forward, play point guard. The team's original starting point guard Eba Masatoshi returned to the bench, and Izawa Sho, who had been a stable substitute for this year's All-China National Basketball Team, returned to the starting lineup in this crucial game.

Then, the whole audience was in an uproar.

"It's actually such a lineup?"

"That's easier to understand. After all, Okayama's lineup is way too 'big' compared to a junior high school."

"Especially the Okayama defense. They must have put in a lot of effort to have such athleticism and skills despite their height."

"After all, that's Captain Hagioka Kasayuki's famous saying: Okayama is down-to-earth."

"But is it really okay? Letting a player who has always played power forward play point guard?"

"You haven't seen Teiko's games, have you? Honestly, if he hadn't played so hard at power forward, I would have thought Nijimura Shuzo should have played point guard."

"Indeed, the style of Nijimura's construction is perfect."

……

Beep~!

at last.

The referee blew the whistle to start the game.

The two centers, Masaaki Okura and Kasayuki Hagioka, were of similar height and skills, at least in the jump ball technique, were also quite similar. However, in the end, Kasayuki Hagioka took the lead with his slightly taller height and arm span.

slap~

Okayama was the point guard and Kaoru Donji caught the ball.

first timing.

Okayama is extremely well-trained.

There was no panic at all because of Teiko's change of formation, especially Kaoru Donji, who was the first to face an opponent completely different from what he expected. Facing the pressure from Nijimura Shuzo, he advanced steadily and quickly.

Shigure Akito: "..."

That’s awesome.

Although he is a point guard.

But it was the first time he saw a player who did not panic at all and whose movements did not change under Nijimura's 1v1 defense.

You know, as a point guard, in addition to bringing the ball to the frontcourt steadily, he also has to pay attention to observing and passing the ball.

Really great.

After Kaoru Donji advanced to the frontcourt, he used no fancy moves at all, just a very basic one-handed ball protection, and in the moment of getting close to Nijimura...

Phew~!

Flick your wrist...

The ball was accurately passed to small forward Jinya Hino.

The moment he received the ball, Hino Shinya just came out of the pick-and-roll by Hagioka Kasa Yuki in the penalty area, and immediately jumped up and made a shot when Teiko small forward Utsumi Masahiko was hung on the screen.

Pass the ball from the point guard.

The small forward penetrates the penalty area.

Center forward Kasayuki Hagioka suddenly pulled out a screen.

To the final end.

The timing is very short and precise.

His tactical skills are extremely sophisticated.

Shigure Akito and Teikou had anticipated this, and were not affected at all by the opponent's opening hit. After Nijimura Shuzo got the serve at the baseline, he used superb skills to quickly cross the half court.

Izawa Sho, who started for the first time this year, immediately came to the top of the three-point arc and set a high screen for Nijimura Shuzo.

Under the pick-and-roll of Sho Izawa, Shuzo Nijimura was preparing to break through from the right, but just as he took the first step, Okayama power forward Makoto Tanaka had already completed the switch defense with Kaoru Donji and rushed over.

This is one of the reasons why Okayama's defense is strong.

From power forward to point guard.

Regardless of height.

Or athletic ability.

They are all ridiculously average.

The random switching of defenses and the switching back and forth of four positions completely suppressed the pick-and-roll screen, which was the most commonly used method to initiate offense in junior high school.

The 187cm power forward Makoto Tanaka defends the 175cm Shuzo Nijimura.

Despite his huge height advantage, Tian Jincheng did not relax at all.

"Um……"

"Is it Teiko's Nijimura Shuzo..."

First grade……

He is truly a little kid blessed by God.

However, although in Okayama today, except for that guy Hagioka, no one has any individual strength that can rank first in the country, they have already known it for a long time.

Ordinary people.

Just keep your feet on the ground.

It is enough to shatter the pessimism in thinking caused by mediocrity.

Then, it became commonplace...

confidence!

Boom~!

After a moment of observation, the construction of Hongcun suddenly started!

however……

Bang~!

At the moment of physical contact, Nijimura Shuzo's pupils suddenly shrank!

Shigure Akito: "!?"

impossible!

Nijimura's violent breakthrough was actually stopped?!

It's not just simple strength, it also includes Nijimura's habitual observation and analysis, in order to break through the opponent's defensive flaws with both strength and speed!

This is the first time in a national competition!

Tsk~!

Tian Jincheng opened his arms!

With a height of 187cm, the pressure was even greater at the moment because of the successful interception just now. At the same time, as he opened his arms, all the players on the Okayama field looked towards the top of the arc.

Shigure Akito suddenly seemed to see the black color, the representative color of Okayama, steaming and stretching into mountains!

Tian Jincheng smiled, stretched out his body, and lowered his center of gravity.

"Did you hear that?"

"Everyone will cheer for us, the down-to-earth Okayama!"
