Chapter 178 Am I being underestimated?

As time passed, the stands were filled with spectators.

In the stadium, the warm-up of the two teams has also ended. At this moment, the members of the Shohoku and Toyotama teams are in their respective rest areas, listening to their coaches making final arrangements before the start of the game.

Coach Anzai still didn't make any changes in his tactics. He simply delegated the on-the-spot command to Hisashi Mitsui, gave a few words of encouragement to the players, and then sat down on the chair and waited.

As the game begins.

On Toyotama's side, it's the complete opposite. Toyotama's coach seems to have studied the Shohoku team carefully before this game. At this time, he is instilling his own ideas into the players, hoping that the team will follow the rules after playing.

Run your own thoughts.

"Shohoku High School is a multi-core team, and their strongest scoring point is Hisashi Mitsui."

"What they are best at is fast breaks. When we play against them, we must not play according to their rhythm. We must lower the rhythm."

"Their individual defense capabilities are quite outstanding, but the point guard in Xiangbei is very short, which is a breakthrough."

"Control every offensive opportunity, focus on his point, and use pick-and-rolls to create mismatches."

"Our players all have good shooting abilities and can use conduction to create space. This game can be easily won."

Toyotama's coach was talking to the players, but the Toyotama players standing in front of him were looking at the Shohoku rest area from a distance, and no one listened to his words.

The coach seemed to feel the attitude of the players towards him. He frowned and was about to raise his voice when Nan Lie suddenly turned his head and looked at him, his eyes full of ferocity.

"Are you saying that if we play fast break with Xiangbei, we will lose to them?!"

Nan Lie found it strange to grasp the key point of the coach's words and asked directly.

Fengyu's coach was startled by Nan Lie's ferocious look, but he didn't continue to speak. Seeing that the coach didn't answer, Nan Lie looked a little contemptuous, and then turned his head and thought about himself.

He started to gather the team members and stopped looking at him.

"Shohoku High School is a team that likes to play fast breaks!"

"But we, Toyotama, are also a team that is good at fast breaks!"

"In the application of bombardment tactics, there is absolutely no way we can lose to them!"

"To deal with Xiangbei, we must win with speed. They are fast, so we must be faster than them!"

Nan Lie directly took over the captain's job and began to cheer for the players, while at the same time arranging the game style on his own initiative.

His idea cannot be said to be the same as Coach Fengtama's arrangement, it can only be said to be completely opposite! However, after the team members received Nanlie's arrangement, they cheered.

Seeing that he was being ignored, Fengyu's coach opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. He just snorted and sat down on the bench. He was in a very bad mood at this time, and he couldn't move steadily on the bench.

His right foot was shaking, and he didn't look like a coach at all.

His gaffe also showed his mood at this time.

"Bastards. These bastards!"

"You actually didn't stop my arrangement! If you suffer a loss later, let me see what you are going to do!"

Fengyu's coach secretly thought to himself that he didn't expect the team to lose because Nanlie and the others kept making their own arrangements. He just hoped that Fengyu would suffer a small loss so that Nanlie and the others would realize their mistakes and take the following measures.

His playing arrangements.

As the referee's whistle sounded, players from both teams began to gather towards the court.

After Nanretsu came on the field, he walked to Jinguji Budo without saying a word and took his position. Others also completed their positions in the middle circle. Standing in front of Mitsui Hisashi was No. 4 from Toyotama High School, who was as tall as

Mitsui Hisashi is similar in appearance and has a similar figure.

The Toyotama player standing in front of Akagi is wearing a blue No. 7 jersey. He is a little shorter than Akagi. He is around 191cm by visual inspection, and his figure looks slimmer than Akagi.

The Toyotama player standing in front of Chiba is wearing the No. 8 jersey and is about 185cm tall. The No. 10 player standing in front of Miyagi is also over 180cm tall, which is much taller than Miyagi.

Overall, Shohoku's absolute height is higher than Toyotama, but in terms of average height, the two teams are not much different.

"Your name is Nan Lie, right?"

"I've heard that you are a very good three-point shooter."

Jinguji Martial Arts looked at Nan Lie who was half a head shorter than him standing in front of him, and suddenly spoke.

"?"

Nan Lie glanced at Martial Arts in confusion and ignored Martial Arts. Jinguji Martial Arts asked for trouble, and smiled to cover up his embarrassment. He originally wanted to get close to Nan Lie and become familiar with each other. In this case,

Some minor conflicts during the game can be mitigated.

However, Nan Lie obviously did not know the thoughts of martial arts. Facing the unfamiliar martial arts, Nan Lie chose not to talk.

Jinguji Martial Arts didn’t hesitate. After the referee blew the whistle, he began to concentrate.

"Beep!!"

There was another sharp whistle, and the referee threw the ball into the air. The next second, centers Takenori Akagi and Toyotama both took off and reached out to point at the basketball.

Takenori Akagi's height and explosiveness were much better than Toyotama's center. He was half a hand ahead of the opponent and captured the basketball first.

The basketball flew out and was directly caught by Hisashi Mitsui not far away. Mitsui took the ball and quickly passed it to Miyagi, while he quickly ran towards the frontcourt.

"Quick attack!"

In fact, there was no need for Miyagi Ryota to remind him, everyone in Shohoku had already started to get down quickly after the kick-off. Miyagi, who received the ball, changed his direction in an instant and threw away the defender, running towards the frontcourt with the ball.

However, Toyotama High School's response speed was also very fast. Miyagi had just received the ball and passed half the court, and three Toyotama players had already returned to their own court, one inside and two outside, blocking the rapid advance.

Mitsui Toshiwa Jinguji Martial Arts.

"The speed of returning to defense is so fast!" Miyagi Ryota was a little surprised by the opponent's speed of returning to defense. After realizing that there was no way to play fast break, he decisively slowed down the rhythm and waited for Takenori Akagi to enter the inside before passing the ball.

The side pass reached Mitsui Hisashi's hands.

When Jinguji Budo saw Mitsui Hisashi receiving the ball, he silently left the side of the top of the arc and landed directly outside the three-point line of the bottom foot. Nanlie glanced at Mitsui Hisashi who was holding the ball, and then looked back at the man who was as tall as the center.

Martial Arts, did not choose to defend against Martial Arts, opened a distance of about 2 meters from Martial Arts, and sank to the bottom line.

Facing Shohoku, Toyotama's defense chose a 23 zone defense. Nanlie, and Toyotama's No. 7 and No. 8 three people consolidated the inside defense, while outside, two players were responsible for marking Mitsui Hisashi and Miyagi.

On the martial arts side, long shots were selectively released.

"Did these guys, Toyotama, not do any pre-match research?"

Mitsui Hisashi looked at Toyotama High School's position and secretly thought to himself that he originally planned to come by himself, but seeing that there was a lot of room on Budo's side, he chose to give the ball to Budo.

When Wu Dao got the ball, Nan Lie still didn't have any defense. At this time, he actually spread his arms to guard against Wu Dao's breakthrough, without any concern that Wu Dao might shoot a three-pointer.

"this"

"What the hell is this, Toyotama? Don't they know Jinguji martial arts?"

"These guys, haven't you watched the Xiangbei game before the game?!"

In the stands, everyone in Lingnan who was watching the game was speechless when they saw Fengyu's defensive style.

At this time on the court, Budo, who was receiving the ball, raised the ball and pretended to shoot, but Nan Lie in front of him didn't even move when he saw Budo making such an action, and had no intention of defending at all.

"."

"Am I being underestimated?"

Wu Dao was a little speechless when he saw Nan Lie's defensive posture. Originally, he really didn't want to participate in the offense, but if he didn't shoot in such a wide open space, he would really be sorry for Nan Lie's "politeness".

Without further testing, the wide-open Jinguji Budo raised the ball again. This time, it was no longer a fake move, but a direct jump shot from outside the three-point line.

Seeing the martial arts shooting, Nan Lie seemed a little surprised on his face and turned to look at the basketball in the air. Under his gaze, the basketball drew a perfect arc in the air and fell directly into the net.

After scoring the goal, Wu Dao snapped his fingers to attract Nan Lie's attention, then stretched out two fingers and pointed at Nan Lie's eyes from afar, then turned his head and started to defend.

"That guy... can actually shoot three-pointers?!"

Nan Lie knew what the martial arts action meant, and the opponent was telling him to defend well. Nan Lie was also a little surprised that Jinguji martial arts could shoot three-pointers.

As the Lingnan team members expected, the research work done by Fengtama High School on Xiangbei was very ordinary. They only watched the previous game between Xiangbei and Chang Cheng. When they knew that the opponent Fengtama faced was rated B

When they competed in Xiangbei at the top level, they didn't take their opponents to heart at all.

In the last game, Wu Dao didn't play much. They subconsciously thought that Wu Dao was a tall blue-collar guy who grabbed rebounds and passed the ball.

3:0, less than ten seconds after the start, Xiangbei High School scored the first victory.

After the goal, Shohoku retreated very quickly, and Toyotama's side was preparing to hit a chasing ball. However, when they advanced to the frontcourt, Shohoku's side had already completed their position, and the fast break opportunity was lost.

Toyotama's point guard saw that there was no chance of chasing him, so he immediately passed the ball to Nan Lie, intending to let Nan Lie complete the attack.

Second-year Nan Lie is 181cm tall and weighs 72kg. He is holding the ball and standing at a position 45° outside the three-point line. Standing in front of him is Jinguji Budo. Budo is 15cm taller than his opponent.

Shi Wei slightly calmed his focus, covering Nan Lie's eyes with his right hand, covering his sight, and raised his left hand flat to guard against the opponent's breakthrough.

Nanlie was obviously a little surprised that the person from Shohoku who came to defend him was actually one of the two tallest people in the Shohoku team, Jinguji Budo.

With his sight blocked by martial arts, he planned to use his speed to force a breakthrough.

In his opinion, with such a height, martial arts must not be as fast as him!
