Tsutomu Iwamura can allow Tomoki Tsukawa to be carefree in daily training, but in official games, all players must be extremely vigilant.
"Okay, let's play it steady and give them a goal."
Kasuga Ryuhei took control of the ball and began to slowly advance towards the Shutoku court. Tsutomo Tsugawa, who was punched by Tsutomu Iwamura, seemed to calm down and began to defend against Shintaro Midorima.
"Hey~ we meet again. The last national competition in junior high school, I really took care of you Teiko." Tsugawa Tomokori stared at Midorima Shintaro and grinned.
"It's you!" Shintaro Midorima saw a look of surprise in his eyes when he saw Tomoki Tsugawa.
"Huh? So you still remember me!"
"Of course, in junior high school, there are not many teams that can resist Di Guang in competitions."
"Then I'm really honored!"
Tsukawa Tomoki spoke with a smile, then his smile faded and he said: "But this time, you don't have those teammates from the 'Generation of Miracles'. Let me settle the score with you for the feud in junior high school."
!”
"Hmph! Naive, you think too highly of yourself. I am enough to deal with you."
While the two were talking, Zhengbang over there had successfully launched a counterattack through tacit passing cooperation, bringing the score back to 3:2.
"Ah~~ He is indeed the 'King'? It seems that it is not that easy to win this game today!"
Takao Kazunari controlled the ball and crossed the midfield, and Kasuga Ryuhei immediately stepped forward to defend closely. This kind of tight defense with man-to-man marking at critical moments has always been Masokuni's signature.
Almost at the moment Zhengbang took action, all Xiude High School players immediately felt an astonishing defensive pressure coming towards them.
······
······
"Hmm! It is indeed known as 'Tokyo's No. 1 Iron Wall'. This kind of defense looks quite troublesome!" Shutoku's coach Hitoshi Nakatani held his chin and pondered expressionlessly.
"But this does have that guy's style!"
While Coach Xiude was thinking, he subconsciously glanced in the direction of the Zhengbang coaching area, and as if he had telepathy, just when Coach Xiude looked up at the Zhengbang coaching area, Zhengbang coach Matsumoto Ikken was also heading towards the same time.
Xiude looked over here.
As former teammates, Hitoshi Nakatani and Ikken Matsumoto not only know each other's teams 100%, but they also basically understand their respective styles.
"Since this guy led the team, there's no point in using some sneaky techniques. In that case, let's decide the outcome openly and honestly!"
······
It was like hearing Nakatani Hitoshi’s words.
He tried several times on the field, but failed to break through Kasuga Ryuhei's Takao Kazunari. He suddenly said: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~ I'm giving in. You are indeed a senior. There is no flaw in this kind of defense!"
After saying that, Takao Kazunari gently threw the ball from behind and accurately delivered it to the running hands of Shintaro Midorima.
Kasuga Ryuhei narrowed his eyes.
"This person's vision is so broad!"
After receiving the ball, Shintaro Midorima reached out to shoot without hesitation. However, just a second before he raised his hand, Tomoki Tsugawa suddenly appeared in front of him like a ghost.
Moreover, one of Tomoki Tsugawa's hands has quietly reached towards the basketball. If Shintaro Midorima continues to reach out, the ball will most likely be stolen.
Faced with such a crisis, Midorima Shintaro remained calm in the face of danger. He instantly changed from shooting to breaking through, and bypassed Tsugawa Tomoki's defense with a single acceleration.
But the next second, Tomoki Tsugawa was as sticky as brown candy.
"Can't get rid of it?"
Seeing Tsugawa Tomoki's defense, which was like a dog-skin plaster, the people in Zhengbang didn't have much reaction, but the people in Showtoku were quite surprised.
After all, they have been teammates with Shintaro Midorima for such a long time. Naturally, they know very well that the top shooter of the 'Generation of Miracles' is not only a shot that is so strong that he is not human, but his breakthrough and defensive skills are also top-notch.
.
Personality is the same thing.
But in terms of strength and talent alone, Midorima Shintaro fully lives up to the title of ‘a once-in-a-decade genius’.
However, such a 'monster' is now being defended tightly. This is the first time they have encountered such a situation since Midorima joined Xiudoku.
Shintaro Midorima tried to break through from the outside several times, but he was caught up by Tsukawa Tomokori every time. Not only that, Tsukawa Tomoki was closely guarding the whole time, leaving him no room to stop and shoot the basket.
Tomoki Tsugawa just has a strange brain circuit and an outspoken heart, plus a little bit of the psychological tendency of "the king of torture"...
But he's not stupid.
When they played against each other in junior high school, Tomoki Tsugawa already knew that Shintaro Midorima was in his shooting range within half of the court, so naturally he would not give him any room to relax.
As for the opening goal.
That time, it was purely a show of virtue without mentioning martial ethics, and they came to sneak attack on this young man who was just starting out.
That's why he didn't take precautions in the first place.
"It's really surprising. Zhen-chan was restrained at the very beginning. This is the first time we've been together for so long!" Takao Kazunari had a surprised look on his face.
"You really can't underestimate other teams. Not only did we recruit the 'Generation of Miracles' this year, other teams also seem to have recruited a lot of potential newcomers!"
Taisuke Otsubo came over at some point. Hearing these words, Takao and Nari were about to echo a few words.
But when he turned around.
Suddenly he saw a face as dark as the bottom of a pot, and Takao Kazunari suddenly trembled.
"This brat, does he regard the game as his personal show? There are so many open spaces here and he doesn't know how to pass the ball? Hahaha... It seems that the newcomer still lacks training!"
The corners of Taisuke Otsubo's mouth cracked, and his originally honest expression now revealed a somewhat darkened sneer.
Seeing this, Takao and Cheng shuddered again, and at the same time silently prayed for Midorima Shintaro in their hearts: "Makoto, I can't help you this time, you'd better ask for your own blessings!"
The offensive team is about to commit a 24-second violation.
Just then.
Takao Kazunari quietly stepped forward and gave Midorima Shintaro a cover. This cover was beyond Tsugawa Tomokori's expectation and also gave Midorima Shintaro a gap.
Without any hesitation, Midorima took a quick shot and hit a three-pointer.
Whoosh!
Basketball hits the net.
6:2.
Midorima Shintaro, who scored, pushed up his glasses and didn't look too happy. Instead, he said calmly to Takao Kazunari: "Don't meddle in other people's business, Taka..."
Before he finished speaking the word 'tail', Midorima Shintaro suddenly stopped speaking. For some reason, he sensed an unpleasant atmosphere around him.
