The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master

Chapter 50 The Art of No Ball



"Hahahahahaha! I have never seen anything so outrageous. Brother Takato is so good at playing! I will play like this next time!" Sakuragi Hanamichi's stomach almost hurt from laughing. Compared to what Coach Anzai said today, The explanation and analysis of the tactics of both teams and personal skills, etc., this scene obviously impressed him the most.

Rukawa Kaede next to him couldn't help but feel a little funny.

But before Sakuragi Hanamichi continued to laugh, Coach Anzai had already sighed.

"You only saw the funny side, so you found it funny, but you didn't see what he was really doing."

"Motive?" Rukawa Kaede slightly put away the smile on his face.

Sakuragi Hanamichi also hurriedly turned over.

"Although he doesn't have the ball in his hands, he has been pulling in the open space. What he attracts is not just fairyland and cross-country."

"He took advantage of the subconscious fear and vigilance against him in the hearts of the people in Lingnan. Whichever way he ran, the defensive focus of the three people on the Lingnan position would always be involuntarily affected, although they themselves may not realize this. "

"And using this kind of involvement, he further tore apart Lingnan's defense! This is not just psychological pressure and meaningless movement, he is using himself to pull the strong and weak sides of the entire team, making the already 4-fight 3. The Xiangyang players who have formed a local advantage have an absolutely strong side attack point that is almost 4-on-2. This is accomplished when the Xiangyang players themselves do not have the entire subjective consciousness to cooperate with the movement... It is amazing. Got it!"

"To put it simply, he alone has almost completely offset the three Lingnan players, and serves as Xiangyang's on-field coach from another level." Coach Anxi held his thermos cup steadily, thickly A flash of light flashed on the lenses of the glasses: "Although there is no ball in his hands, the threat to Lingnan is still not the same as when he holds the ball!"

"In addition, this kind of behavior itself can stimulate the atmosphere on the field, mobilize the emotions of the audience and public opinion, thereby forming a psychological oppression on Lingnan players, killing people and punishing their hearts!"

"This kid is more than just a master." Coach Anxi took a deep breath: "This is more than just tactics and personal ability, this is... the art of basketball!"

Frankly speaking, Coach Anxi was extremely shocked at the moment. He didn't even want to say more, because even his brain couldn't completely analyze the pros and cons of this person for a while.

But the explanation to Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi still needs to be explained. This is the meaning of bringing them to watch this game.

When I previously evaluated Lin Dong as a regular selection for the Japanese national team, I was actually a little exaggerated.

After all, the other party is just a 16-year-old child. Although his physical talent is sufficient, he should not be able to truly compete with adults;

Although his skills are high, his experience should be limited;

Although he has an understanding of basketball, at his age it is still impossible to truly reach a professional level.

But now...

National team selection?

Not only is this evaluation not elevated at all.

On the contrary, it is still slightly low.

Skills, mentality, physical strength, basketball intelligence, talent, experience, and even knowledge of basketball.

Even Yuta Taguchi, who is known as the number one player in the current Japanese men's basketball team and has just gone to the NCAA Brigham Young University-Hawaii, may not dare to say that he can compete with this 16-year-old boy from the Dragon Kingdom, right?

pity! Pity!

It is a pity and regret that such a genius born for basketball does not belong to Japan...

………………

At this time, the arena was already climaxing one after another, and all the voices supporting Lingnan had died down.

But the cheers for Xiangyang began to become trembling, and coupled with the sound of bottles from Xiangyang's cheerleaders, it seemed as if the roof of the entire arena was about to be lifted off.

"Xiang Yang will win! Xiang Yang will win!"

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

"Lin Dongjun is so handsome! He looks so handsome even when he drinks water!"

"You're so good at it!"

Male voices, female voices...the entire arena has completely turned into Xiangyang's absolute home court, and the cheers and support echoed throughout the arena.

Shigeichi Taoka's clenched fists on the sidelines finally loosened up.

If Lin Dong, who had the ball in his hands before, used his personal skills to defeat Lingnan's defense.

At that moment, without the ball in his hands, he aroused the emotions of the audience, defeating their last persistence with the kind of cheers that made Lingnan despair.

That guy definitely didn't sit on the bench just to drink water, and it wasn't just some unconscious behavior.

This is... psychological warfare!

Lost.

A complete failure.

Shh!

The referee also blew the whistle again.

At the same time, Taoka Shigeichi had already arrived at the referee's table.

"Lingnan! Substitute!"

Sendō and Yu stayed and were replaced by two substitutes, Sugahira and Yamauchi.

After seeing Lingnan's substitution, the whole stadium was in an uproar.

Is Lingnan... giving up?

That's probably true.

Taoka Shigeichi's heart was extremely heavy. He originally thought that Lingnan, who was well prepared, was capable of fighting Xiangyang. Even if he did lose, it would not be as ugly as Xiangbei's defeat.

But the facts gave him a loud slap in the face...

He didn't understand the strength of No. 13 until now.

In the first quarter, he was just observing Lingnan's weaknesses and letting down Lingnan's vigilance. But even though he was just trying his best, he was still 3 points ahead of Lingnan...

And when the second quarter began, a sudden burst of terrifying offensive ability destroyed Lingnan almost instantly.

And after falling into his last-ditch two-person attack tactic, he was actually able to pull the strong and weak flanks by himself, cut off half of Lingnan's body, and even had the ability to mobilize the emotions of the audience at any time... …

Let alone Kanagawa, it feels like the entire Japanese high school league is not on the same dimension as him!

Lin Dong's distribution and attack were so purposeful and his rhythm was so good. The entire game was almost completely under his control.

Tactics of attrition?

It's useless. Under the control of No. 13, his self-righteous consumption has no meaning at all. Looking at his current calm and calm state, it feels like that guy can even play the whole game with this kind of rhythm!

Moreover, the physical strength of the entire Xiangyang team far exceeded his expectations. Perhaps they had secretly experienced more demanding training than Lingnan, perhaps because Lin Dong had to share too much on his own, or perhaps because everyone in Xiangyang was Got enough rest, anyway...

There was no so-called second half for Lingnan from the beginning.

Even if there is, it is still the second half of Xiangyang!

Facing this guy who has clearly surpassed the high school level in all aspects, there seems to be no big difference between preparing in advance and not preparing at all.

Their loss was even more embarrassing than that of Xiangbei.

But now, at this moment, giving up the game immediately is the only thing he can do as a coach.

………………

"Coach! Why?!" Jun Uozumi, who was substituted, was obviously a little bit unable to accept this result. Although he followed the substitution order of Shigeka Taoka and left the field, he could understand what the coach was doing when he saw the lonely look in Shigeichi Taoka's eyes. They were planning to give up the game completely, instead of letting them take a break and lay out their tactics.

"We can still fight! We can still run! With so much time left, there is always a chance! Besides, as a soldier, even if you die, you have to die on the battlefield! How can there be any reason to be a deserter? This is my last chance. The first county competition!" Uozumi roared angrily.

Sendou Ming next to him was obviously a little lonely, but he still managed to smile and said: "Uozumi-senpai, you should listen to the coach."

"Why do you even say that!"

"Uozumi." Shigeichi Taoka walked over and patted Uozumi on the back: "Look over there."

He motioned Uozumi to look in the other direction of the stand.
