Chapter 61

At this age, this height is also a leader in the country.

But he was facing Murasakibara today.

I saw the opponent receive the ball with his back to the basket and immediately exert force to push hard, attempting to use his brute force to kill a bloody path.

Who knew Murasakibara was motionless, and even his expression didn't have much change, at most he was a little confused?

To describe it specifically, it's like you've already gone in, but the woman in front of you is wondering why you haven't started yet.

It was very discouraging.

"Why is it so light?"

This was Murasakibara's thought, and what the opponent thought was completely opposite to him.

"Why is this kid so hard?"

Seeing that brute force didn't work, he used his footwork, faked, and quickly turned to shoot.

There was no problem with the strength and angle; he was full of confidence in this ball.

As a result, just after thinking this, Murasakibara's big hand covered it again, covering the sky and the sun.

With a "slap", the basketball was fiercely swept out of bounds.

The reaction was too fast!

Except for his brain not being very flexible, Murasakibara's physical values were all maxed out; he was the player with the highest physical talent in Teikou's non-mainstream five-man group.

But this ball was still judged as valid.

"Goaltending!"

The referee wasn't blind this time; he keenly captured the downward trend of the basketball.

2 to 0, Kaisei Junior High took the lead.

The Kaisei men in the audience immediately made the gongs and drums roar, cheering loudly.

"Was it really goaltending?"

Tiandao Jingyan wasn't too sure either; the judgment of this ball was in the millisecond. Without an advanced replay system, it was hard for the naked eye to judge.

But the barrage told him that this ball was not goaltending.

'Misjudged, it's not goaltending, right?'

'Definitely not, the ball didn't fall, so it doesn't constitute goaltending.'

'Damn it, hurry up and get this cataract referee a pair of glasses!'

'Murasakibara is so big, how is his reaction still so fast?'

'Tiandao's vision talent is absolutely very strong; the referee couldn't see clearly, but he saw it at a glance!'

Murasakibara couldn't see the barrage, and he wasn't sure himself, just shook his head.

"Then hit it back."

"Mm!"

Possession changed, and Nijimura Shuzo was immediately double-teamed as soon as he received the ball.

This Teikou captain is one of the most famous powerful forwards in the country today, and even the "one of" can be removed.

In the eyes of fans, coaches, and media, he is a true basketball master, playing the game in the most reasonable way in everyone's eyes.

Nijimura Shuzo didn't panic; this was exactly the same as their coach's guess today.

"Nijimura, it seems your Teikou's luck is very bad this year."

"Leading a group of first-years to play, how do you plan to win?"

"By scoring 100 points?"

The opponent's captain not only wanted to use his body against Nijimura Shuzo but also wanted to use his mouth.

This was his second time playing against Nijimura Shuzo; the last time they played was last year, and Kaisei Junior High was narrowly defeated by Teikou by 5 points in the round-robin.

Nijimura Shuzo wanted to laugh, "Don't underestimate those guys, they will surprise you."

"I want to see......"

Before he could finish his words, Nijimura Shuzo powerfully passed the ball to Tiandao Jingyan.

Ikezawa Junto saw this and stuck to him without saying a word.

An eye for an eye!

Facing the opponent's tight defense, Tiandao Jingyan didn't hesitate, dribbled to accelerate one step forward, and then immediately retreated to the outside of the three-point line to jump and shoot.

Ikezawa Junto didn't expect Tiandao Jingyan to shoot so decisively; generally, rookies who just started the match should cherish the opportunity and would definitely not shoot recklessly.

What about Tiandao Jingyan?

In Ikezawa Junto's eyes, he was a wave-B.

Not to mention whether this ball could go in, the posture of the shot was absolutely dashing; his lower legs swung in mid-air, and the basketball was thrown out by him.

"Too reckless, such a player would absolutely not appear on my team!" The Kaisei head coach was also full of disdain.

This is why he doesn't like using young players.

Young players are always those who act on their own on the court, attempting to become the team's hero, often losing their cool, and finally messing up the match.

Not knowing the preciousness of the opportunity, how can one walk far on the basketball court........

"Swish!"

It went in?

The Kaisei head coach looked over and saw Tiandao Jingyan confidently holding up three fingers.

Forced shot?

One look and you know he's not a Kobe disciple; how is a shot with one person defending not a wide-open shot?

You at least need three people!

Do you understand Mamba Mentality?

To people of this era, the three-pointer is just a deterrent weapon, not enough to kill people.

But for a latecomer like Tiandao Jingyan, the three-pointer had long become the most important scoring method in modern basketball.

When your team has a group of players who can shoot three-pointers and are also good at defense, then the team's offense will not be restricted.

Because the defensive line will be pulled very wide!

When you face an opponent with more than two or three sharpshooters lurking at the three-point line, do you defend out or not defend out?

Don't defend?

A rain of three-pointers when they get accurate can kill you.

Defend?

Then your defense of the penalty area can only be appropriately abandoned, and people can hit the ball into the penalty area.

You always have to lose one thing to gain another!

Many older players in later generations always say, what would happen if today's players returned to their era.

It's really not like that.

In the 80s, 90s, and even the period from 2000 to 2010, basketball was more about fighting in the penalty area.

At that time, big centers were particularly popular; no matter how stable your mid-range shot was, it wasn't as stable as a center's work in the penalty area.

At that time, everyone was indeed strong in defense and strong in physical contact, and the match scene was more intense.

But the scoring efficiency was really not high; often a team could only score about 70 points in a match.

If you let the teams of the 80s and 90s play against the later teams, Tiandao Jingyan believes that the later teams would have a higher chance of winning.

Basketball technique has always been improving.

"Treating them like children will make you suffer a big loss." Nijimura Shuzo looked at Tiandao Jingyan, who was shaking his head after scoring, and said a word to the opponent before running away.

Among these first-years at Teikou, Tiandao Jingyan was absolutely the most special one he thought.

Aomine, Midorima, Murasakibara, and Akashi were all the same.

Although their talent was not below Tiandao Jingyan's, everyone was diligent and their techniques were very suitable for their positions.

Only Tiandao Jingyan could do the work of many people.

He could throw the three-pointers Midorima could throw.

He could pass the balls Akashi could organize.

He could also score as many points as Aomine could.

The people Murasakibara could defend.... he really couldn't defend this; Master Tiandao hadn't reached the level of being able to defend the No. 5 position out of position.

But it didn't matter; after all, he, like Murasakibara, was the defensive core of Teikou.

The jack-of-all-trades attribute is maxed out! ===== CHAPTER 63 =====
