Chapter 790 [This is not a competition, it is a performance! 】
On the afternoon of the 19th, the players of the Shohoku team arrived at the designated gymnasium on time. Their opponent was Miuradai High School.
Because today was not a rest day, Akagi Haruko and her two best friends could not go to watch the game. The arena's stands were full of spectators, and everyone came to watch the dunk. Aida Yayoi's promotion worked.
Today, Aida Yayoi and male assistant Nakamura also came to watch the game and follow up on the Shohoku game.
"Did Xiangbei really beat Lingnan? Their players are all so tall. The magazine said four of them are good at dunking."
"No. 6 is that awesome American international student. I think he is more handsome than Rukawa Kaede from Tomigaoka Junior High School but too strong. Who is No. 10? Why does he have red hair? Does Shohoku High School not care if high school students dye their hair like this?"
"Look over there, people from Lingnan are coming to watch the battle."
Lingnan's players watch the game with a learning attitude. Now Lingnan's goal is to defeat Hainan and try to win two games in the county finals to advance. In this way, even if they lose to the Xiangbei team, they can still participate as the second place
National competition.
People from the Hainan team, led by star player Mu Shenyi, also came to watch the game. Mu Shenyi was very concerned about the Xiangbei team after reading the magazine reports, thinking that Xiangbei would become a strong opponent and it was necessary to know about it in advance.
Miuradai was one of the top eight teams in the county last season. Unfortunately, Hainan failed to reach the finals in the final match of the qualifiers.
This group of people were all arrogant when they came out, and they didn't take Shohoku seriously at all. Miuradai's coach didn't investigate Shohoku's situation, and the players didn't even read the magazine. This team was unqualified in all aspects, and they thought Shohoku was
He is very weak and has no idea what he will encounter.
In the manga, Miuradai played against Shohoku at the beginning. Captain Murasame Kengo was so arrogant that he clamored on the court to defeat Hainan and enter the country. After falling behind by more than ten points, coach Anzai sent in four starters to quickly make a comeback.
.
There is no fight happening now. Coach Anxi will naturally not let the four starters involved in the fight sit on the bench to reflect. The Xiangbei team also has a super star named Yang Jian.
Shohoku formed the "Five Deaths" lineup. Yang Jian, Mitsui Hisashi, Rukawa Kaede, Sakuragi Hanamichi, and Akagi Takenori. Although Miyagi Ryota was reluctant, he could only sit on the bench. He was unable to compete with Yang Jian.
Yang Jian is best suited to play the point guard position. In his words, he can lead his teammates to play together. If he plays inside, it is not suitable to replace Sakuragi or Akagi. Those two have a huge physical advantage in the game. Xiangbei
The only one who was at a physical disadvantage in the starting lineup was Ryota Miyagi.
Sakuragi won the jump ball and passed it to Rukawa Kaede on the left. Rukawa Kaede immediately passed the ball to Yang Jian who was quick to play on the right.
Kazuo Araki, who played against Yang Jian, was also 187cm tall and was a big point guard. But his speed was incomparable to Yang Jian's, and he did not defend closely, so he was easily got rid of.
Yang Jian took the ball, jumped up with two steps, and scored with a tomahawk smash! 2-0.
"Oh! Isn't this dunk so beautiful?"
"It seems that what the magazine said is true. The strength of international students surpasses all Japanese high school students. But isn't this a bit unfair? It feels like Shohoku hired foreign aid."
"It's too strong. No. 6 actually plays point guard. How can Miuradai defend him?"
Miuradai's coach was stunned, but the performance had just begun. Yang Jian did not retreat after the goal. Miuradai's players sent the baseline ball. Araki Kazuo was still thinking about the dunk just now and was a little distracted, not paying attention to the situation around him.
He turned around and took a step, and Yang Jian suddenly accelerated and rushed towards him, reached out and slapped the basketball away. Yang Jian picked up the basketball, stepped into the basket and jumped up.
Center forward Akio Kawasaki, who is 192cm tall and weighs 82kg, jumped sideways to block Yang Jian. Then the poor, lanky man was knocked out of the baseline and landed on all fours.
Yang Jian dunked and scored, and the referee also blew the whistle for a defensive foul of 21.
"Oh my god, this is a point guard? Are you kidding me? This is obviously a point center."
"I feel that he is stronger than Takenori Akagi, what a monster."
When Yang Jian stood on the free throw line, no Xiangbei player grabbed the rebound, so he waited directly in the backcourt. No one believed that he could miss the free throw, but he made a steady hit, 5-0.
The players in Miura Terrace were stunned, and the coach was dumbfounded on the sidelines. Yang Jian's style of play was beyond their imagination.
Murasame broke through with the ball and wanted to make a layup. He found three big men in the Shohoku penalty area waiting to block the shot. He was only 186cm tall and had no room to shoot after jumping up. He turned around and passed the ball to find his teammates in a hurry.
Yang Jian accurately predicted the passing route, stole the ball with one hand and went for a fast break, getting rid of Kazuo Araki in two steps. Kazuo Araki was horrified that Yang Jian was taller than him, but much faster than him.
There is absolutely no way to catch up and there is no chance for a foul.
Yang Jian jumped up from the middle, glided and dunked the basketball into the goal! 7-0.
Yang Jian opened the game with three dunks and two steals. The stadium erupted with deafening cheers and applause. His dunks were the kind that no one else could do. The referees were stunned and had never seen them before.
This kind of dunk appears in high school games.
Hainan team's shooting guard Kamizou Ichiro said in surprise: "That person... is more powerful than the legend. Mu, can you guard him?"
Mu Shen swallowed and did not answer. His shocked expression said it all. Damn it if he could defend him. Yang Jian could even knock away the center. How could he defend a 184cm point guard? Yang Jian would definitely knock him away.
farther.
Kazuma Takasago, who is 191cm tall and weighs only 80kg, is also troubled. Shohoku's point guard is bigger than him and has terrifying impact. If the opponent plays a center, he doesn't have the confidence to defend him.
When Miuradai attacks, the Shohoku team shrinks its formation again, forcing the opponent to shoot from mid- to long-range and then interfere. This saves energy and reduces the opponent's shooting rate. The purpose is to control the penalty area and backcourt rebounds. It doesn't matter if the opponent makes a shot.
High school students don't have that many good shooters, they all mainly hit the basket.
Sure enough, Miuradai's shooting guard Takatsu Hiroshi caught the ball and made a three-point jump shot, which missed due to slight interference. Takenori Akagi grabbed the rebound and passed it to Yang Jian, and Shohoku immediately launched a counterattack.
Different from Xiangyang's big lineup, there are three people in Xiangbei who can play quick counterattacks. Yang Jian was brought to the frontcourt in a few steps. Araki Kazuo was afraid that he would break through and dunk again, so he retreated two meters away to guard against the sudden shot.
Yang Jian made an emergency stop on the left side and hit a three-pointer without interference! 10 to 0.
Miuradai attacked. 186cm forward Kazunari Miyamoto made an emergency stop jumper on the left and was blocked by Kaede Rukawa. Hisashi Mitsui picked up the ball and passed it to Yang Jian. Yang Jian dribbled the ball from the left into the three-point line, attracting
After being double-teamed by Kazuo Araki and striker Murasame, he jumped up with a shuffle and threw the ball to the center with one hand.
From this distance, it is impossible to score with this posture. Murasame thought to himself, turned his head and saw Sakuragi Hanamichi flying up in the middle, making a dunk with both hands and smashing the ball in! 12 to 0.
Sakuragi pulled the basket and swung his legs, as if he wanted to tear the basket off.
The people in Lingnan all brought back bad memories, while the people in Hainan were so shocked that they couldn't shut up.
"What's going on with these people in Xiangbei? This red-haired guy's jumping ability is terrifying, and his head is flat."
"Akagi Takenori hasn't made a move yet, Shohoku doesn't seem to need him to attack." Takasago Kazuma sighed.
"..." As soon as these words came out, the Hainan players fell silent.
Last season in Shohoku, there was only Akagi, so there was nothing to fear. At that time, people also recognized that Akagi was a good center, one of the four top centers in Kanagawa.
At this time, Miuradai missed another shot. Murasame's big shot missed by two points, and Sakuragi Hanamichi almost blocked it. He shrank and defended near the penalty area, and when he saw someone about to shoot, he quickly rushed out to interfere, still surprising Murasame.
Sakuragi's physical advantage is undoubted, and everyone can see that his athletic ability is terrifying. He saves the ball without losing rebounds in the paint. Yang Jian retreats and accurately grabs the rebound, and starts a fast break when he lands.
Kazuo Araki reached out to steal the ball in the midfield, but Yang Jian made a simple change of direction to get rid of him. After seeing Sakuragi's dunk, Murasame did not dare to let him go to guard Yang Jian, and followed Sakuragi towards the basket.
Sakuragi did not post up for the ball, but directly blocked the position to grab the rebound. Yang Jian made a 70-degree three-pointer from the left and hit the net without interference! 15 to 0.
