Yangquan, who had the first right of attack, did not rush to attack, but steadily advanced towards Chenglin Stadium.
Point guard Kensuke Fukui is 176cm tall and is considered the shortest person on the team. Besides him, Tatsuya Himuro, who is second to last, is also 183cm tall.
As for the remaining players, everyone is above two meters.
Kensuke Fukui dribbled the ball to the outside. Facing Ituki Jun's defense, he didn't spend much thought on breaking through. He just opened a small gap, leaving himself an opening to pass the ball, and passed the basketball directly.
Entered the inside line.
After Kenichi Okamura received the ball in the paint, he didn't even dribble. He directly pushed Teppei Muyoshi and Kagami Daiga toward the basket a few times, then turned around and dunked.
Boom!
Yangquan easily scored the first goal.
"Damn it! This guy's height is really incredible."
Looking at Okamura Kenichi's back, Kagami wiped the sweat from his forehead and said unwillingly.
Although Kagami Daiga's jumping ability is very strong, in terms of height alone, he can easily surpass players like Okamura Kenichi and Liu Wei who are over two meters tall.
But in this area under the basket, whoever has better jumping ability will not have the advantage.
To be precise.
In the area around the basket, the first basic quality required is strength, followed by physique (height), and then jumping ability.
Because it takes time to take off from the ground, the higher the jump, the longer it takes. Once the take-off time is too long, it will be difficult to control the timing and rhythm of rebounding.
At this point.
Height is far more advantageous than jumping.
"What are you talking about, Vulcan? Don't we already know about such a trivial matter? Well, cheer up, it's our turn to fight back next."
Kiyoshi Teppei suddenly appeared from behind Kagami Daiga, slapped him on the back, and spoke to encourage him.
"Oh, no problem!"
Kagami Dai responded.
Immediately, Cheng Rin began to launch a counterattack. Because he had seen Yangquan's amazing defensive height through the video beforehand, from the beginning of this game, Cheng Rin never thought about scoring with ordinary offensive methods.
Yi Yuejun came outside the three-point line, and then suddenly passed the ball towards a 'no man's land'.
This pass made Kensuke Fukui, who was defending on the opposite side, stunned for a moment.
Although the people in Yangquan had learned about Kuroko's abilities through Murasakibara before the competition, Kuroko Tetsuya's [presence] originally belonged to the 'rules system' power.
You can't guard him just by knowing it. Most of the time, even if you have this awareness in your heart, once you enter the game, you will still subconsciously forget the existence of Kuroko Tetsuya.
Snap!
There was a crisp sound of hitting the ball.
The area that was still a 'no man's land' just now, as the basketball arrived, Kuroko Tetsuya's figure suddenly appeared, and he used himself as the medium of passing the ball. The passing direction did not change, but the passing distance was extended in an instant.
double.
In the three-point zone of the baseline, Hinata Junpei, who received the pass, raised his hand decisively to shoot. But the moment he took the shot, a huge shadow like a big tree suddenly appeared in front of Hinata...
"Hey, hey, why are you here? Weren't you in the restricted area just now? And...it's too high! How long are this guy's hands?"
Hinata Junpei's pupils shrank suddenly, and his face showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
Bang!
A big hat buckle.
The basketball that just flew out of Hinata Junpei's hand was shot directly out of bounds.
······
"What amazing speed and reaction. He can actually have such agility despite his height and weight. He is just like another Akashi... No, if you look at the physical condition alone, this guy
Maybe he is even more talented than Akashi."
In the Jorin rest area, Reiko Aida used the [Data Eye] to observe Atsushi Murasakihara's body data at close range for the first time. Although it was blocked by the jersey, many parts were still unclear.
But just by looking at the data of the displayed body parts, Reiko Aida was breaking out in a cold sweat.
In terms of basic athletic qualities such as strength, speed, and endurance, Murasakihara Atsushi's statistics have not yet reached the level of Akashi Asuka's that directly exploded, but they are also far beyond the realm of mortals.
And more importantly, although his athletic qualities are not comparable, Murasakihara Atsushi is even stronger than Akashi Asuka in terms of height, wingspan, and leg length.
"There have been speculations before, but now we can finally confirm that this guy, like Akashi, also has a [super-wide defensive range] that can cover the entire three-point area."
"If this is the case, then we will continue to expand the attack distance..."
As soon as Aida Reiko finished speaking, she saw that Rin Jojo had already served again on the court and launched the second round of attack.
This attack.
Using Kagami as bait, Jorin first lured Murasakibara to defend, and then used Kuroko as the passing center to pass a super long-distance pass that could penetrate the entire bottom line of the court.
This pass flew a full twelve or thirteen meters, and Jorin had used this move against Akashi Asuka.
At that time, Akashi Asuka couldn't catch up with such a pass, and now Murasakihara Atsushi can't do it either. After all, even tall players cannot cross a distance of more than ten meters in an instant.
However, although Yangquan and Zhengbang are both super defensive teams, there is an essential difference in their defense...
Bang!
Accompanied by a dull sound.
Hinata Junpei's pupils dilated and he got hit again.
"Hey~~ Cheng Lin's kid, don't think that Murasakihara is the only one in Yangquan!"
The person who blocked Hinata Junpei's shot was Kenichi Okamura. Liu Wei and Kenichi Okamura naturally do not have the same defensive capabilities and range as Murasakihara, but as players over two meters tall, even in the country, there is no
Several people can easily break through their defense.
Zhengbang's defensive advantage lies in the defense of breakthroughs. Their "limbo running method" combined with full-court marking tactics can greatly affect all opponents' passing, catching, running, and breakthroughs...
limit.
It would be difficult for any team to organize an effective offense under Zhengbang's guard.
But in terms of high-level defense, Yangquan is truly No. 1 in the country.
Yangquan rest area.
Yangquan coach Masako Araki had a hint of surprise in her eyes when she saw Shirorin's ultra-long-distance pass that penetrated the entire baseline.
"Is there actually such a way to avoid Murasakibara's defense? It does give us a little surprise! But this alone cannot break the 'iron wall' of Yangquan today."
"After all, thanks to that disastrous defeat in Xia Tian, today's Yangquan's defensive ability has been broken and then stood up again, and it has once again improved to a big level!"
