The next day was the first day of the National Competition.

Three hours before the start of the game, the spectator stands were already packed with people.

After coming out of the locker room, Yu entered the arena through the player tunnel. Teikou Middle School and their opponent today, Yamanoe Middle School, were under the spotlight. Everyone’s expressions were serious, and their eyes were full of fighting spirit. around.

There were comments from the audience everywhere.

In this noisy atmosphere, Diguang’s first battle is about to begin.

“How far can Yamanoe go this year?”

“Really been waiting.”

The weekly reporters on the sidelines also looked excitedly at the players from both sides who were warming up.

“Yamanoe was also a top four team last year, so their strength should be about the same as Diguang?”.

“No”

“There is still a gap in strength, right?”

“Especially considering that Teiko’s opponent in last year’s semifinals was Okayama”

“And this year’s Teikou is different from last year. The two first-year players, No. 7 Shigure Akito and No. 8 Nijimura Shuzo, although I haven’t seen them play live yet, just looking at the data is scary enough.”

The Teiko Twin Stars, this is the hottest topic among reporters from basketball weekly magazines in the past two days.

After all, Akito Shigure averaged 40 points per game in three consecutive quarters, and Nijimura built a near triple-double in three quarters. It is really It was so shocking.

And… he was still in the first grade.

Immediately, everyone began to talk about the rumored strength of the Imperial Light Twin Stars. Everyone was talking about each other, and they were so noisy.

Soon.

Warm-up Time ended.

Everyone on the Teikou bench looked at Shirogane Kozo.

Shirogane Kozo showed his usual smile,”Just follow the pace of the qualifiers, because I know very well that this year we are the strongest. of”

“Now go get your first victory in the national competition until you finally win the championship!”

“yes!”

Everyone responded in unison.

The five starting players walked onto the court.

“Shigure”

“Hongcun.”

At this moment, Shirogane Kōzo suddenly called out to them.

Shigure Akito looked back at him, with a flash of doubt in his eyes.

“I’m looking forward to Shigure-san’s scoring performance”

“And Nijimura-san’s comprehensive ability to connect the whole team like a rainbow.”

Shirogane Kōzo said solemnly, obviously having high expectations for the two of them.

Shigure Akito nodded slightly. What should be said, Shirogane Kōzo is very skilled. This feeling of being trusted… is really good..

Shigure made an OK gesture, and then said in a very calm and calm tone:”Okay, let’s watch my performance. 10 three-pointers should be enough to deal with them~”

After saying that, Shigure turned He turned around and walked towards the arena.

Platinum Kozo was startled for a moment, and then looked at the speechless Nijimura Shuzo and smiled at him,”Don’t lose to him, Nijimura.”

On the other side.

The moment Yu Qiuren stepped into the arena, the system’s prompt sounded in his mind.

【Current Road to Glory mission ‘First victory in the country’’……】

【Task content: Help Teiko Middle School win its first victory in the national competition (score no less than 40 points)】

【Mission reward: designated talent unlock card * 4]

Hearing the prompt, Akito Shigure’s eyes lit up, and he knew that when it came to the national competition, the system had no reason not to do the mission.

Designated talent unlock card~

This is great.

It’s equivalent to getting four talent skills for free, which saves a lot of talent cards. really.

It has to be nationwide.

The mission rewards are generous enough.

If he continues at this pace, it won’t be long before his strength will reach another level, making him even more powerful. Thinking of this, Shigure Akito’s eyes flashed with a hint of fighting intent.

At this time, the starters of both teams are already in place.

Diguang’s starting lineup is still the same as in the qualifiers.

And the mountain river on the opposite side.

I heard from the third-year players that as a semi-final team last year, except for their slightly inferior center, the other four players were all strong players.

Toot~!

The referee blew the whistle.

Yamanoe’s center and Ozo Masaaki jumped up to compete for the ball.

Snap~!

Ozo Masaaki relied on his excellent physical ability and technique to easily swing the ball towards himself.

Masari Eba got the ball, then took it through the midfield and passed it to Masahiko Utsumi at the top of the key.

Here, Utsumi Masahiko and Ozo Masaaki’s high-position pick-and-roll is a classic tactical cooperation between Teikou’s third-year players, in addition to Shigure and Nijimura, the two first-year players.

Masaaki Okura has very good shooting ability from mid-to-long distances, which allows him to have more attack methods to attack his opponents after the cover is removed.

Masahiko Utsumi can break through, make emergency jump shots, and pass the ball to Masaaki Okura, allowing him to shoot from mid- to long-range, or follow up and wait for the ball, and then attack the basket.

This time, Utsumi Masahiko chose to rush directly to the penalty area.

Yamanoe’s three forwards retreated, giving Utsumi Masahiko an unprecedented vicious pincer attack.

In Yamanoe’s view, compared to Teiko’s two new starters, third-year small forward Masahiko Utsumi must be a greater threat.

Especially the opponent’s breakthrough ability.

In this game, no matter what the situation is on the court, Yamanoe will send two people to stare at Utsumi Masahiko in order to double-team him at any time.

As for why it wasn’t the obviously stronger Okura Masaaki.

There’s no way… their Yamanoe inside line doesn’t have that ability, and besides, Masaaki Ozo is the center after all. As long as Teiko is restricted at the source of the pass, it can be regarded as restricting Masaaki Ozo in disguise.

At this time, Utsumi Masahiko, after breaking into the penalty area and enjoying the treatment of the three-man attack, he was not panicked at all, and even felt it.

Ever since two first-year monsters came to the team, he hadn’t enjoyed this level of attention from his opponents in the qualifiers.

Bang~!

Jump up!

With a feint in the air, he passed the ball to Nijimura Shuzo who came over.

Hmm…

He actually wanted to get it right in one step.

But similar to Yamanoe’s predicament, he does not have the ability to accurately score points from a long distance. Fortunately, there is Nijimura on the court. With his transfer, the actual effect can be achieved.

Phew~!

Nijimura releases the ball very quickly after touching it!

Akito Shigure received the ball in the right corner.

Almost empty

【Ichiro Kamizou catches the ball and makes a three-pointer: Be prepared to catch the ball outside the three-point line. After catching the ball, you can instantly jump up and shoot a three-pointer.]

In front of the surprised eyes of the audience, Teiko No. 7’s three-pointer has just been taken. , Teikou’s familiar face, third-year Utsumi Masahiko, had already raised his hands.

He knows it very well.

The reason why Shan Zhijiang dared to double-team him like this was because he didn’t know the current situation of Emperor Guang.

This is also the inevitable result. With such a dense schedule, the qualifiers came to the country just after the end. Even the reporters of the National Basketball Weekly were not able to collect comprehensive information on all the regional teams and only heard about Diguang.

It is even more impossible for a junior high-level team that is fully preparing for the qualifiers to avoid overturning.

Therefore, Shan Zhijiang still relied on his previous experience and thought that their Emperor Guang did not have a stable enough three-point turret, so he dared to gamble like this.

But things are different now. With Akito Shigure, a stable ‘three-point shooter’, every time Yamanoe wants to double-team, no matter who he double-teams, he will have to pay a heavy price.

Huh~!

Three point hit!

Shigure Akito was speechless after seeing Utsumi Masahiko’s celebration gesture.

He scored the goal himself, forcing others to pretend.

I saw that the ball really went into the net just as Utsumi Masahiko celebrated in advance.

Everyone gasped.

Are you so sure?

“Beautiful three points. ` !”

“He jumped up as soon as he caught the ball, so fast!”

“Di Guang scored a three-pointer as soon as he came up!”

“Utsumi Masahiko had already started celebrating before scoring, which shows that he is very confident in No. 7’s three-pointer. Having said that, who is No. 7? Didn’t you see him on Diguang’s bench last year?”

“I came from Tokyo Ward, and that person was in the first grade.”

Then.

Familiar exclamations sounded one after another.

Speaking of Teikou’s first-year audience, the audience showed a satisfied smile.

Hey~

It’s finally your turn~

Let you see the little shock from our Tokyo players!

……

The score on the field was 3:0, and Diguang took the lead from the beginning.

After a brief moment of surprise, Yamanoe immediately served from the baseline to start the attack. After the point guard advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, he raised his right hand and made some kind of tactical gesture.

The power forward then acted the same as Masaaki Ozo just did, rising to the high position and making a screen with the point guard Yamanoe.

Teikou was very familiar with this and did not change his defense because of this screen. Masari Eba simply moved around the pick-and-roll and continued to pursue the defense.

As a point guard, Masato Eba is also 175cm tall.

At 175, Nijimura can play power forward, but that is a monster. Nijimura can do it, but he can’t. If he switches defense to power forward, he will definitely be beaten by the opponent.

Masari Eba pursues the defense, but Yamanoe’s point guard is very good at speed.

After breaking through to the basket, he drew Masaaki Ozo to help defend the back.

Phew~

He suddenly threw the ball into the air.

Yamanoe’s center jumped high, grabbed the ball with both hands, and then smashed it down hard.

But the next second… bang~!

Basket.

A white flash flashed in the penalty area!

That figure made a strangely fast jump from the paint area on the right!

The alley-oop connecting the point guard and the center of Shan Zhijiang was blocked by a terrifying volleyball-style violence with a loud bang. The ball was hit by the center and then flew far away!

The force of this blow was so great that it not only knocked the person who was being slapped by center Yamanoe off his back, but also caused the ball to fly all the way from the sideline and out of the field!

Then… boom!

He wiped the faces of reporters taking pictures on the sidelines and knocked down the billboards!

The reporter on the sidelines suddenly looked up dully from the cannon-like camera, swallowed dryly, and glanced at the miserable billboard behind him.

All of a sudden.

Not just on the court.

Even the people off the court were confused!

‘Kiyota Nobunaga Monkey Jump’+‘Sendō Akira volleyball block’

【Volleyball Block: Jump up and hit the opponent’s attack directly with a volleyball smash posture]

If Kiyota Nobunaga’s ‘Flying Block’ focuses on height and bounce, then Sendō Akira’s ‘Volleyball Block’ focuses on It’s power and power!

Facing center players, there is no doubt that the latter is the better choice.

And… it’s very intimidating!

During the violent scene, the audience burst into cheers.

The coach of Shanzhijiang looked at this scene with an ugly look on his face. Although the center of this Shanzhijiang team was at a disadvantage, he did not expect that he would be so ravaged by the opponent’s shooting guard. at the same time.

He saw it too.

Diguang’s No. 7 came up with a three-pointer and such an exaggerated block.

There is no doubt that this player must not be viewed as a player who enters the national arena for the first time!

“Everyone, cheer me up and be sure to guard against coming back!”

“Are you going to lose to Teiko’s players who are stepping onto the national stage for the first time?”

Coach Yamanoe shouted with excitement.

The block just now was the last touch of Yamanoe’s center, and then Teikou served and launched the attack.

After Masari Eba dribbled the ball across half court, he looked towards Utsumi After Masahiko’s eyes faked, he suddenly passed the ball to Nijimura Shuzo.

The latter broke through the top of the arc and went straight into the penalty area.

At the same time, Shigure Akito used the cross screen to run towards the bottom corner where he had just thrown the three-pointer. Go.

The moment he was in place, Nijimura Shuzo’s pass came with a whistling sound, showing his excellent vision and passing skills.

Bang~

Shigure received the ball.

The opponent’s shooting guard bypassed the screen, with a wave of A fierce aura rushed towards him.

However… he stepped on the ‘God’s Realm’ left after just hitting the three-pointer.

Shigure decisively chose a three-pointer regardless of the opponent’s defense.

Boring~!

Under the interference, the basketball almost When he made the basket, he jumped left and right and knocked out of the basket.

Shigure Akito:”.ˇ ……?”

Not quite right.

Compared with the qualifiers, the interference provided by national-level defense is indeed a level higher.

The initial level of ‘Kamiso Ichirogami’s Domain I’ is not enough to complete a direct three-pointer under this kind of defense.

Unexpectedly, the close-range three-pointer from the bottom corner that was chosen for stability at the beginning turned out to be a mistake. The space was too narrow. It was better to start directly in the center circle. Just when Shigure was thinking this, the shooting guard on the opposite side waved his arms. Xiang Shigure yelled:”Boy, you were lucky with the last shot, but next time, don’t even think about scoring a three-pointer under my defense!”

Hearing this, the bright players on the field all looked at the score with weird expressions. Defender.

Shigure shrugged, ignored him, and turned back to defend.

Off the field.

Shan Zhijiang is on the bench.

The coach breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew that No. 7 was no ordinary player, he still muttered to himself as if he was brainwashing himself:

“That’s right, it doesn’t make sense. That kind of three-point shot is too casual. Forget about the previous shot. This shot is obviously not a good shot.”

“Diguang actually has such a wasteful player?”

“Tsk~”

“Director Platinum is getting old too”

“For a three-point shooter, if he cannot grasp the timing of his shooting, he will definitely become a cancer for the team and waste offensive opportunities in vain.”

“As long as we continue to strengthen our defense, there is no need to worry about the No. 7 offense.……”

In the words of coach Yamanoe (promise), Yamanoe’s offensive round took place on the court.

The small forward broke through the defense but did not go inside. Instead, he opened up space to the weak side, received a pass from the point guard, and calmly hit a long two-pointer.

Coach Shan Zhijiang’s expression became more relaxed when he saw this scene.

However, in the next round…

Teikou dribbled the ball across half court, and the ball passed into the hands of Masaaki Ozo.

Conducting ball.

Return to Hongcun on the outside to build.

Coach Shan Zhijiang:”……”

Very strange.

What does Di Guang seem to be waiting for?

And soon, when he scanned the Diguang No. 7, which was two meters away from the three-point line, his eyes suddenly widened!

Are you kidding me?! obviously.

From the beginning of the game, Teikou’s tactics revolved around Shigure Akito.

Nijimura Shuzo passed the ball.

Not only the coach of Yamanoe, but also the audience looked confused. This was the first time they saw a shooting guard running around near the midline during the offensive round.

And his teammates really passed the ball back.

Even… he’s going to shoot in the center circle?!

Akito Shigure received Nijimura Shuzo’s pass and immediately raised his hand!

Center circle!

Completely vacant!

“Or a three-pointer? Is the choice of action this time even more outrageous?!”

“I almost made a forced shot against the defense before, but now I want a three-pointer close to midfield? Isn’t this a waste of opportunity?”

“This kind of low-level wasteful shooting will greatly affect the morale of the team!”

“It will also disrupt the team’s offensive rhythm.”

“no……”

“Isn’t this what Di Guang himself chose?”

In the audience, everyone was talking a lot. Many spectators from other regions but who were Diguang fans had disappointment and confusion in their eyes.

However… the next second.

As the basketball flew across the sky, the accurately guided ball Falling straight into the net, the beautiful waves flying around the net stopped all the words and discussions in an instant!

“Eh?”

“Enter……”

“In?!”

“A midfield three-pointer?”.
