Chapter 61
Although Baishuiguan's game today has ended, their next opponent has not been decided yet. This free time is a good opportunity for scouting.
After returning to the hotel to rest for a while, the Baishuiguan players had recovered some energy.
"Let's go gather, let's quickly see which team we are playing against next."
On the way back to the gymnasium.
Yukimiya Kazuma and Masaki Taketou bought some snacks on the way. After all, the first round in the morning was Baishuiguan, so everyone was a bit hungry, but it was still early for lunch, so they just bought something simple to eat.
Of course.
The third-years paid the bill.
Liang Huayin came to Yukimiya Kazuma's side and sat down, and Yukimiya handed over a box of takoyaki.
"Oh! Thanks, has it started?"
"Just started, both sides are still testing each other..."
Slap!
Before Yukimiya Kazuma finished speaking, a wonderful scene suddenly appeared on the court, and the surrounding audience immediately boiled over.
"Tsuchiya! Tsuchiya! Tsuchiya!"
On the court, Tsuchiya Oga, wearing a green jersey, is 190 cm tall, but he is a rare shooting interior, worthy of being the image of Masaki Taketou's dreams.
Sure enough.
Masaki Taketou: "What a beautiful fadeaway jump shot!"
As a center with similar height and build, but who can't play the same type of elegant finishing shot, seeing such a technical move, just by imagining it a little, Masaki Taketou felt his teeth ache.
On the side, first-year Jinsuke Hiiragimoto took out a piece of information. These were all collected by himself, but there were only some simple team introductions.
After searching for a while.
Jinsuke Hiiragimoto's eyes lit up and said: "Found it, let me see... Hagiya Middle School, Kyoto's No. 1 seed, an old powerhouse, whose style has always been based on steady and solid defense."
"However, the core player of this session, Tsuchiya Oga..."
"Is an offensive power forward with excellent shooting ability."
"663, this height, is actually a power forward? Good at shooting, no wonder there is such a beautiful fadeaway shot."
Just then, a system prompt suddenly appeared:
[Attribute Mission: Lead Baishuiguan Middle School to win the game against Hagiya Middle School, and both Masaki Taketou and Liang Huayin score over 30 points]
[Achievement Reward: Self-allocated attributes × 6]
Huh?
It's actually 6 points.
This is the second time giving so many attributes. The last time was the semi-final round-robin and the game against Dongzhu, where the requirements were much harsher, requiring 40+10 and limiting the opponent's score to within 10.
This time it's just that Masaki Taketou and Liang Huayin both score over 30 points. If 'Playmaking Master' is fully utilized, it shouldn't be a big problem?
6 attribute points, which are also urgently needed. Before hitting Teiko, he urgently needs an improvement in an attribute. These 6 points are quite critical.
Wait...
Hagiya Middle School?
Isn't this the one that is currently playing?
Yukimiya Kazuma: "..."
Good guy, they haven't finished playing yet, and you revealed the result to me like this. Fortunately, it's a middle school game, otherwise wouldn't I have to take this opportunity to fleece a wave of wool?
Soon.
The day of the second round of the game.
A total of 24 teams, after one round, only 12 were left.
Starting today, there is an entrance ceremony.
Beep!
The whistle sounded, and the game started.
Masaki Taketou patted the ball to Yukimiya Kazuma.
Yukimiya Kazuma received the ball, and he pushed forward steadily.
Hagiya Middle School's point guard rushed over to interfere, but Yukimiya Kazuma didn't stick to the ball and gave it to Masaki Taketou.
Yukimiya Kazuma wanted to see Masaki Taketou's state.
Masaki Taketou faced the opponent's center. From the body shape, it was an advantageous matchup.
Other Baishuiguan players, under Yukimiya Kazuma's command, naturally cleared one side to create space for Masaki Taketou to play one-on-one.
Masaki Taketou's standard ball-holding triple threat, then started, backed up, turned around to shake off Hagiya Middle School's center, and hit at close range.
This set is a small combo in the restricted area that Masaki Taketou practiced during the camp training.
It looks like the effect is not bad.
Next round.
Hagiya Middle School also gave the ball to Tsuchiya Oga who asked for the ball in the low post.
Tsuchiya Oga's shooting technique is quite good, and his fadeaway shot is also very characteristic. Coupled with his height and wingspan, it is a very difficult thing to block.
Provided...
You don't meet Yukimiya Kazuma.
If it's a jump shot, 'I Love Blocking Jump Shots' won't get used to it!
Tsuchiya Oga's fadeaway, although not blocked by the 20% probability of 'I Love Blocking Jump Shots', obviously interfered at that block height.
Clang~!
In Tsuchiya Oga's stunned eyes, the basketball bounced out of the hoop.
Baishuiguan's turn.
Yukimiya Kazuma was not in a hurry to perform, he continued to observe the situation on the court.
He gave Liang Huayin a hand-off pass at the arc top, and he blocked the Hagiya small forward to one side of his body.
Liang Huayin took advantage of the situation to kill into the paint area. Tsuchiya Oga, who was helping defense, couldn't keep up with Liang Huayin's lateral movement speed, and Liang Huayin nimbly picked and hit.
After the start, Yukimiya Kazuma's performance was standard, and Baishuiguan played one board and one eye.
The good aspect is that Liang Huayin and Masaki Taketou attacked quite resolutely. Under Yukimiya Kazuma's command, the two didn't need to hesitate after receiving his pass.
At the end of the first quarter, Baishuiguan 30 to 22 Hagiya, only leading by 8 points. Although it is not small, compared to before, it is definitely slightly different.
This is mainly because Yukimiya Kazuma concentrated his energy on brushing points for Masaki Taketou and Liang Huayin, and this kind of assist that specifically looks for fixed targets, even with 'Playmaking Master', the assist rate is definitely not that high, so it cannot trigger the 20% hit rate increase effect.
But Yukimiya Kazuma was not worried at all. He was so assisting for the sake of assists, and he could still lead by 8 points, which shows that defense is indeed the primary productive force.
As long as his defense is in place, except for Teiko, most teams find it difficult to beat Baishuiguan.
After all, 92.4 speed + 84.7 help defense, the ability is here. If the defense is fully fired, it can be used as half a Murasakibara. Others are super-wide range defense.
And he went to 'super', went to 'wide', leaving a 'range defense', but the defensive effect is still good.
Limited to non-Teiko teams, even on Zenbon, the king of high school, it is still effective.
