Chapter 260 This Year's Freshmen Are Not Cute at All

It was also at this time that Fujima immediately abandoned Miyagi and rushed towards Murasaki.

This is also Coach Kitano’s arrangement before the game!

As soon as Murasakibara receives the ball, the nearest Shoyo player will immediately double-team Murasakibara.

Unfortunately, Hasegawa was not strong enough and the double-team turned into backup defense.

Murasakibara discovered Fujima's intention, but he had no intention of passing the ball to Miyagi.

The basket was crowded, so Miyagi used his single scoring method, which was to look for a block once he got in.

This is the disadvantage of having too narrow an attack range!

You know, this guy hasn’t even practiced his jump shot well.

In Murasakibara's words, Miyagi didn't put much thought into basketball.

At the moment Fujima blocked him, Murasakibara changed direction in front of his body, and at the moment his left hand touched the ball, Murasakibara broke through again.

After earning the title of God's Left Hand, Murasakibara no longer has a non-dominant hand.

Fujima was not aware of this, and his defense mainly tended to the left, which was the right side of Murasakibara.

Because in the past, Murasakibara mostly broke through from the right side. Although breaking through with the left hand is also possible, the speed will be slower.

So, after Hasegawa, Fujima was also defeated by Murasakibara in one step.

"Nani!"

Fujima showed a shocked expression, as if he had never seen such a thing before.

He found that Murasaki's left hand speed, flexibility and even rhythm were faster than before, comparable to him as a left-handed person.

After breaking through Fujima, Murasakibara jumped towards Hanagata.

Hanagata didn't expect Fujima to be so incompetent, so he was a little hasty.

He subconsciously raised his arms and jumped up as well.

bang~
The two collided in mid-air.

At the moment of contact, Hua Xing's expression suddenly changed, and he flew backwards involuntarily.

After knocking Hanagata away, Murasakibara made a brutal tomahawk slam dunk.

Bang~
Along with a loud bang, the basketball hoop shook violently.

Mu Mu looked down at Hanagata lying on the floor, then let go of the basket and dropped it to the ground.

Hua Hua Hua~
There were deafening cheers, screams and applause in the stadium.

Murasaki passed two people and dunked the ball, winning the favor of the audience.

Hanagata didn't get up from the floor for a long time.

At this moment, he was questioning his life.

As a center who was nearly ten centimeters taller than Murasakibara, he was knocked away by Murasakibara even though Murasakibara was in the acceleration stage.

After three consecutive joint finals, Hanagata increasingly understood the importance of confrontation.

Whether it was Akagi, Uozumi, Nagao Mitsuru or even Murasaki, they always used physical confrontation to bully him.

This doesn’t even include Naito!

The problem is that the team's formation is weak in confrontation. Once it encounters a strong center, it is common for it to be beaten.

"Hanagata, are you okay?"

Fujima subconsciously thought that Hanagata was injured and couldn't help but show a worried expression.

"It's okay, I was just hit!"

Hanagata grabbed Fujima's hand and was pulled up by Fujima.

"Fujima, it seems you are right. After this game is over, we will do confrontation training together."

Last year, Fujima was badly "beaten" by Murasaki and Amu.

In order to avoid being at a disadvantage again, he obviously stepped up his confrontational training.

At the time, Hanagata scoffed, thinking Fujima should focus on other things.

It was not until the joint finals that Hanagata finally understood the importance of confrontation.

As the team's last barrier, the center must have sufficient confrontation ability.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Remember to pick and roll for me later."

"Ok!"

It was Shoyo's turn to attack, and Fujima once again dribbled the ball across half court.

Hanagata took the initiative to move forward to screen, and Miyagi thought Fujima wanted to break through, so he subconsciously tried to bypass Hanagata.

However, he did not wait for Fujima.

Because Fujima did not choose to break through, with the help of Hanagata's pick-and-roll, he chose to shoot.

By the time Miyagi reacted, it was obviously too late.

shuh~
The basketball went through the net, creating a splash of color on the net.

After Fujima made a three-pointer, loud cheers rang out in the gymnasium again.

Like Murasakibara, Fujima is also very popular among girls.

It was also at this time that Mitsui couldn't help but complain: "Ryouta, are you capable of this?"

"Better than you!"

Miyagi glared at Mitsui.

Ever since Miyagi joined the team, the two have disliked each other.

The two looked at each other, and then snorted coldly.

"I don't know why the coach sent him to start the game? It would be better to let Okamoto play."

In fact, there is another reason why Mitsui is unhappy with Miyagi?
He and Nobuhiko Okamoto are both from Takeishi Junior High School, and Nobuhiko Okamoto took the initiative to follow him to Shohoku.

Because of Miyagi's situation, Nobuhiko Okamoto's playing time has been reduced a lot recently.

Mu Mu shook his head and said, "Mitsui, the coach naturally has his intentions. You should take care of yourself first."

Soon, Xiangbei launched another attack.

Perhaps stimulated by Mitsui, after dribbling the ball across half court, Miyagi tried to break through Fujima again.

Unfortunately, Miyagi's offensive methods were too simple, and Fujima, who was also of the agile type, never lost his position.

As a last resort, Miyagi passed the ball to Murasakibara.

Murasaki dribbled the ball and broke through Hasegawa's defense. After attracting Nan Lie's attention, he passed the ball without looking at anyone.

Outside the three-point line in the bottom corner, Mitsui received the ball and shot.

"not good!"

Nan Lie rushed forward immediately, but it was too late.

bang~
Nan Lie was lucky, Mitsui did not score this goal.

Mitsui couldn't help but look at his hands. He could have made a sure shot in such an open position, but he missed it. Akagi, Naito, Hanagata and Kishimoto immediately prepared to fight for the rebound.

The basketball bounced in the direction of Naito and Kishimoto.

"drink!"

Naito easily pushed Kishimoto aside, jumped slightly, and grabbed the rebound.

Although Kishimoto's confrontation was pretty good, he was still no match for Naito.

After grabbing the rebound, Naito raised the ball and prepared to shoot.

Kishimoto jumped up subconsciously, only to see Naito's mocking smile.

Naito ducked past Kishimoto, rushed into the basket and slam-dunked with both hands.

Bang~
The basketball hoop shook violently again, making a faint sound of being unable to bear the weight.

After scoring, Naito hurriedly let go of the basket and quickly returned to defense.

Before the game, Coach Anzai instructed that after completing the attack, the team should not delay and should immediately return to defense to avoid being turned into a fast break by Shoyo.

Offense and defense transition!

Even without a fast break opportunity, Xiangyang players still quickly crossed half court.

At the first moment, Xiangyang players began to run and provide screens on the court.

Soon, Hanagata set a screen for Fujima again.

This time, Miyagi was afraid that Fujima would shoot a three-pointer again, so he was more cautious.

However, Fujima, like a worm in his stomach, guessed what Miyagi was thinking.

So, Fujima chose to break through and temporarily got rid of Miyagi.

Mitsui, who was closest to the team, rushed to defend. Fujima did not stick to the ball and immediately passed it to Nan Lie.

shuh~
Nan Lie quickly shot and also made a three-pointer.

"Liangtian, pay attention. I don't want to clean up your mess!"

The opposing player scored first, which made Mitsui very unhappy.

Miyagi said nothing, his expression becoming much more serious.

Unfortunately, there was an obvious gap between him and Fujima, and he was never his match.

The game continued, and as time slowly passed, the atmosphere on the field became more and more intense.

Under Fujima's leadership, the Shoyo team brought out the essence of the run-and-gun tactics.

Among them, Fujima and Nan Lie were like two sharp swords, and they set off a fierce three-point rain.

Every shot of Fujima seemed calm and unhurried. The basketball in his hands seemed like magic and always flew into the basket accurately.

Nan Lie was not to be outdone. With the cover of his teammates, he was always able to run into open space and hit three-pointers.

As one three-pointer after another fell into the basket, the numbers on the electronic scoreboard flipped quickly.

Contrary to the audience's expectations, Shoyo temporarily took the lead over Shohoku thanks to its hot hand.

Of course, this is also related to Mitsui's condition.

In this game, Mitsui seemed to be in trouble and his touch was incredibly cold.

He took several three-point shots, but the basket seemed to be covered and the basketball bounced out again and again.

Mitsui's brows were furrowed, his face full of anxiety, and every shot seemed to be just a little bit off.

Not far away, Mu Mu had a thoughtful expression.

He roughly guessed what Mitsui's problem was.

Recently, Mitsui has been lifting weights like crazy.

His strength increased, but he did not adjust his shooting in time, which ultimately led to inaccurate shooting. He needs some time to adapt!
The reason why Mitsui lifts weights is mainly related to Sakuragi.

After losing to Rukawa and being scolded by Murasakibara, Sakuragi finally regained his original intention and became more enthusiastic about training. He was no longer half-hearted like he had been doing before.

Given Sakuragi's personality, he needs to be hit frequently, otherwise he will easily become arrogant.

At the same time, we should give them some encouragement from time to time, otherwise they will easily give up on themselves.

Only in the environment of 'sugar and whip', a specialty of Xiangbei, can Sakuragi improve at the fastest speed.

Unlike Sakuragi, Rukawa has a very good character and there is no need to go through so much trouble, which makes people feel very reassured.

It can be said that among the five tigers of Xiangbei, the one who needs least to worry about is Rukawa Kaede.

He has a very strong mentality and is invulnerable.

A few days ago, when Mitsui was practicing with Sakuragi, he was embarrassed by Sakuragi's steamroller breakthrough.

Mitsui is also an agile type, and his confrontation performance is only above average, with a clear gap between him and Sakuragi.

Inspired by Sakuragi, Mitsui joined Akagi's army of weightlifters.

His strength did increase, but it also caused problems with his shooting.

Strength training has a certain impact on basketball shooting, which is something many basketball players will experience.

For shooters, it is a challenge to maintain a sharp sense of the ball while doing strength training.

To correct this phenomenon, the training environment should be adjusted in time. Not only strength training should be done, but strength and shooting training should be combined to adapt faster.

With Mitsui's talent, Mugure believes that he will be able to regain his touch soon.

"Mitsui, it seems that you can't do it either!"

As Mitsui missed another shot, Miyagi began to retaliate against Mitsui.

"This year's freshmen are really not cute at all!"

Mitsui cursed and turned back to defend.

Miyagi couldn't help but put his hands on his hips and smiled smugly.

However, at this moment, Xiangyang chose to serve quickly.

Fujima passed Miyagi and rushed to the front court quickly.

Miyagi was shocked and hurriedly chased after Fujima as fast as he could.

When Fujima received the pass from his teammate, Miyagi hurried back to defense.

Before Miyagi could gain his footing, Fujima jumped up and shot towards him.

shuh~
With the advantage of height and wingspan, Fujima shot Miyagi in the face and hit another three-pointer.
