In the backcourt of Todai Affiliated No. 1 Middle School, the newly replaced Tokama took the basketball from the hands of the referee and quickly passed the ball to Shinomiya Tanano. When he passed the ball, he deliberately added some spin to the basketball.

The ball was passed.

Shinomiya didn't notice it, and stretched out his hand to catch the ball as usual, but the next second when the basketball was in hand, the power of rotation suddenly broke out, and the basketball was released directly and rolled towards the sideline. Shinomiya's expression condensed and he ran quickly

He took a few steps forward, caught up with the basketball, swatted the basketball hard, controlled the rebounding basketball in his hands, glanced at his teammate who was serving the ball, and silently walked towards the frontcourt with the ball.

"Haha, Shinomiya-san, are you tired? You don't have the strength to catch the ball."

"How about we attack?"

Itama jogged to Shinomiya's side and said with a smile.

Seeing this, Shinomiya Tano narrowed his eyes slightly, turned his head and glanced at the scoreboard, sighed heavily, the unwilling look in his eyes fleetingly disappeared, and said casually:

"Come on." Shinomiya threw the ball directly in front of the board, slowed down his pace, and his original trot turned into a walk.

He gave up. Shinomiya no longer cared about the victory in this game.

"It's really disappointing!" Shinomiya sighed secretly in his heart. After entering the frontcourt, he walked to the sidelines and then stopped advancing. He failed.

As Banma advanced with the ball, everyone in Takeishi Middle School felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, thinking that the opponent was planning to use some tactics. Every defensive team member became more vigilant. Takeoka trotted to Shinomiya No. 1, still in front of him.

We are ready and we will not relax at all.

Shinomiya Tano looked at the serious martial arts in front of him and said quietly: "There is no need to guard against me, I will not participate in the attack again."

"I really envy you. You have a group of teammates who fully trust you. Even if you lose many points in front of me, none of your teammates will criticize you even once."

"In this game, although the No. 1 High School Affiliated to Dongda University lost, I did not lose."

When Jinguji Budo heard these words, he looked at Shinomiya Tanano in surprise. He didn't know why the other party suddenly said such things. Although their martial arts successfully blocked Shinomiya Tanano's several goals, if they want to win, how could they win?

Well, in Budo's view, the No. 1 Middle School Affiliated to Dongda University only needs to make a slight adjustment, and their Takeshi offense will be in trouble again.

Breaking the pick-and-roll is actually not difficult, it just requires the defensive players to have a little understanding and know when to switch defenses.

"What happened?" Budo straightened up slightly, guarding Shinomiya's field without changing his position, and asked while looking at Banma who broke through with the ball.

Shinomiya did not answer Takeshi's question, and silently looked at the attacking Itama without speaking. In this moment, Itama of Todai Affiliated No. 1 Middle School had made a breakthrough, successfully attracted Takeishi's defense, and then quickly passed the ball

It was given to an open teammate in the corner. The latter caught the ball and shot the ball directly outside the three-point line.

The basketball collapsed under the gaze of everyone, and the rebound was grabbed by Hisashi Mitsui from Takeishi Middle School. The basketball crashed far away, and Hisashi Mitsui happened to be relatively close to the basketball.

After getting the basketball, Hisashi Mitsui started the fast break directly. Seeing that Hisashi Mitsui got the basketball, Budo ignored Shinomiya and directly joined the fast break queue.

Although Shinomiya is not attacking, he is still active in defense. However, his teammates are not very fast in returning to defense. Shinomiya, who returns to defense, can only watch Takeishi's fast breakers find openings after several passes.

, score a field goal.

The scoreboard changed again, the score reached 35:30, and Takeishi extended the lead to 5 points.

Although several players from the No. 1 Middle School Affiliated to the University of Tokyo failed to attack and were successfully counterattacked by Takeshi, those teammates were all smiles and encouraged each other to return to the court and prepare to serve. The atmosphere was quite harmonious and they did not care about losing points at all.

However, Shinomiya did not join his teammates. He ran forward alone, looking out of place with his teammates.

"Hey, Budo, the atmosphere in the East University Affiliated School is a bit strange, what's wrong?" Hisashi Mitsui and Budo returned to defense side by side. Mitsui Hisashi also noticed the strange atmosphere in the No. 1 Middle School Affiliated to Tokyo University and asked Budo.

"Shinomiya Tōno seems to have been isolated." Budō narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the members of the No. 1 Middle School Affiliated to Todai University who were actively communicating and preparing to attack, and then looked at the Toyo University coach with a cold expression under the court and replied.

"Isolation? The trump card of an isolated team? Are they losing their minds? Don't they want to win the game?"

Mitsui Hisashi was quite surprised, he couldn't understand the other party's brain circuit.

"Haha, who knows."

"Perhaps Shinomiya was already a champion before he joined the No. 1 Middle School Affiliated to Tokyo University."

“It’s hard to imagine that such things as old and new forces competing for the right to speak can be seen in the country.”

"It's a good thing for us. While their conflicts are still there, we can solve them in one go."

"Those team members affiliated with Tokyo University are much easier to deal with than Shinomiya Tanano."

Martial arts practitioners are not so naive as to take pity on their opponents during the competition and then take advantage of them. Killing them while they are sick is the way to treat the competition.

In the little time left in the first half, Shinomiya no longer took the initiative to attack, and Budo did not let go of Shinomiya's vigilance and kept guarding him. However, Takeishi and Todai Affiliated were one on four against four.

Wu Shi had an absolute advantage.

There was no timeout for the No. 1 Middle School Affiliated to Dongda University. Their coach could only scream off the court, but he could not change anything. He could only watch the score between the two teams being drawn apart bit by bit.

The people from Todai Affiliated High School who were still laughing and joking at first couldn't laugh anymore as the score got wider and wider. Itama also thought about letting Shinomiya Tano attack, and also tried to pass the ball to the opponent, but Shinomiya Tano received the ball.

After arriving at the basketball, it came out immediately, as if the basketball was hot to the touch.

As the game progressed, the cheers from the audience disappeared, and many spectators even left the field, not wanting to watch such a boring game again.

Finally, the referee blew the whistle and the first half of the game came to an end.

Takeishi Middle School ended the first half of the game with a score of 44:32, a 12-point difference.

During halftime, a fierce quarrel broke out in the locker room of the No. 1 Middle School Affiliated to Tokyo University. Shortly after the quarrel subsided, Shinomiya walked out of the locker room with his bag on his back and left the venue without looking back.

.

Until the beginning of the second half, Shinomiya did not go back.

On the court, the players of Takeishi Middle School finished their positions and prepared to jump the ball. Takedo looked down at the No. 10 player from Todai Affiliated High School who was defending him. He looked around strangely, but he did not see Shinomiya Nodano.

In the second half of the game, the opponent seemed not to play. There were some coaches from other junior high schools watching the game in the audience. After discovering that Shinomiya Nodano did not play, they immediately realized what had happened. Many coaches were not interested in the next game.

After watching it, I hurriedly left the venue, not knowing what to do.

Without Shinomiya Tōno as a huge threat, Takeishi Middle School opened up completely in the second half, and the game was decided early less than ten minutes into the second half.

In the end, Takeishi Middle School won the first game with 87:48. Until the end of the game, Jinguji Martial Arts was still a little confused. The power of Shinomiya Tano overwhelmed them, but the victory of the game came like this.

It's easy, which makes martial arts a little unreal.

It wasn't just martial arts that felt this way, Mitsui Hisashi and the others also felt this way, but these feelings were ultimately drowned out by the cheers of his teammates.

Takeishi Middle School won and they entered the second round of the national competition.
