Yang Jian played the entire game, making 18 of 20 shots, 8 of 9 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, scoring 50 points, 12 rebounds, 28 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks.

He posted this kind of data because the referee's whistle came from Pianshanwang, which called Yang Jian four fouls, two of which were for hitting people with the ball. Yang Jian passed the ball more and helped his teammates get a lot of open shooting opportunities.

The referee couldn't even try to make the score less disparate.

Mitsui Hisashi was Shohoku's second scoring point in this game. He made 10 of 13 shots, 8 of 10 three-pointers, and 1 of 1 free throws. He scored 29 points and 2 assists. Both of his assists were fake moves after attracting the opponent to rotate defense.

He feinted for a breakthrough and assisted an open teammate under the basket for a dunk. He played very flexibly.

Rukawa Kaede did not face off with Eiji Sawabita. He singled out Fukatsu Kazunari and relied on his height advantage to catch and shoot. He also broke through with a European step and scored 23 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. He also made two three-pointers, and

There was a dunk performance that scored 21.

Hanamichi Sakuragi played the entire game and had a double-double of 20 points, 18 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 blocks. He made 3 mid-range shots and made 3 of 4 open field goals.

On Sanno Kogyo's side, Masashi Kawada was the only one with the upper hand in the starting numbers, scoring 18 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks. Takenori Akagi's personal ability is indeed not as good as Ohda, but Akagi is not strong at the basket, which also makes Ohda uncomfortable.

.

He was misplaced by Yang Jian many times, and by the end of the game, Okawada's mentality had collapsed. His shooting percentage was not high, and he did not have an advantage in physical confrontation with Akagi at the basket. He just won in all-round skills. He

His comprehensiveness was also very limited, and his two three-point shots all missed the basket.

Only two players, Ohda and Kazunari Fukatsu, scored in double figures for Sanno, and the offensive end was severely hampered.

Minoru Matsumoto scored 7 points and performed poorly. He didn't look like a super scorer against Hisashi Mitsui. His mental attributes were too poor. He collapsed after watching Hisashi Mitsui shoot a lot of three-pointers. He kept sleepwalking in the second half.

Ace player Eiji Sawabita scored only 5 points on 1 of 16 shots. He made a three-pointer off a screen and made two free throws.

Before leaving the court, Zebei couldn't help but ask Yang Jian: "What level of player are you in the United States?"

Zebei's goal is to develop in the United States and enter the NBA in the future. If the United States is full of strong men like Yang Jian, he might as well give up basketball as soon as possible, graduate and find a job in a factory.

Yang Jian smiled and said: "I am invincible in the United States, and you are already outstanding among your peers. As long as you improve your confrontation ability, you have a chance to play in the NBA with your skills."

Many people in the NBA don't have as good a technique as Eiji Sawabita, but his strength is really poor. He can suppress Rukawa Kaede by relying on his speed and awareness to defend against face-to-face attacks, and he has no resistance against Yang Jian.

Yang Jian does not need complicated techniques to break through Zebei. He can break through by changing directions and squeezing his opponent away with his shoulders. It is always easy for people with physical advantages to break through. On the contrary, if a person has an average body, he will not be able to defend well.

.

The general audience gave the Xiangbei team warm applause, while the players from other teams who came to inquire about the military situation were very quiet. Only the players from the Hainan team, led by Mu Shenyi, applauded the Xiangbei team.

The two stars of Aichi Prefecture, Morohoshi and Shigehiro Mori, no longer looked as calm as before, and the coach no longer praised them. They both felt that they could compete against Sanno Kogyo, but judging from Yang Jian's

If you can perform well and lose within 50 points against Shohoku, it will be considered a success.

After the game, the players from Shohoku took a group photo with their friends from Kanagawa. This group photo became the cover of the new issue of "Basketball Weekly".

Everyone was very happy, including Yang Jian, even though he knew that from a certain perspective he had ruined the classic.

In the manga, Sakuragi was forced to play even though his back was injured, and together with Rukawa Kaede, he helped the Shohoku team complete a reversal and hit the winning goal. The high-five between the two after the victory is the most classic scene in the book.

Now this classic scene is gone. The two often high-fived each other, but never had the chance to hit the winning shot. Shohoku won too easily, and Akagi Haruko, Horita Tokuo and others would not have been moved to tears outside the court.

These people tasted the joy of victory, but lacked a touch. Yang Jian deeply realized that the beauty of imperfection is real. If Inoue Takehiko painted the story they are experiencing now, it would not become a classic.

People think that there will be no suspense in the next game, and it is indeed the case.

In the third game, Xiangbei defeated Aihe College 158 to 57, with a huge difference in score.

Zhu Xingda, who is 186cm tall, was also guarded to death by Yang Jian, and he was completely overwhelmed at both ends of the offense and defense. Zhu Xingda's strength was similar to that of Mu Shenyi, and he could not show his special skills against Yang Jian.

Aiwa Academy needs Morohoshi to drive the offense, and he is the only one with a super scoring point. In the Aichi Prefecture competition, Aiwa Academy was no match for Metomo Industry. In the end, the single-digit point difference was recovered and the loss was due to Shigehiro Mori being fined.

Got off.

Due to the lack of scoring points, Aihe Academy did not go very far in the comics. At most, it entered the semi-finals and lost to Hainan. Because Hainan was also in the left half, it finally won the runner-up.

Aihe's weaknesses are similar to Hainan's. The inside lineup is not deep enough, allowing Xiangbei players to perform frequent dunks.

Yang Jian scored 64 points, 25 rebounds, 10 assists and 4 steals, including 14 offensive rebounds. He had average shooting skills from the outside, but he still dominated the game with more inside shots.

Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede are also becoming more and more famous in national competitions, having many fast break dunks.

Shohoku advanced to the quarterfinals, and their opponent was Yulai Industrial, which played at home in Hiroshima.

The home court advantage in the High School League is of little significance, and the huge strength gap cannot be made up by playing at home. The Shohoku team won by 104 points to advance.

No team could defend Shohoku's offense. Shohoku faced Hainan in the semifinals, a Kanagawa derby.

At this time, everyone knew that it was not the Hainan team that was weak, but that Xiangbei was too strong. Hainan still had the strength of the top four. They got through all the way and reached the semi-finals without losing much energy.

This game was a friendly match, and Xiangbei saved face for their fellow countrymen Hainan, and in the end they only won by 45 points. This was their lowest point difference in a national competition, and Yang Jian took the lead on the defensive end.

Moreover, Yang Jian only played 7 minutes in the second half and then rested. Hisashi Mitsui also took an early rest to recover his strength and prepare for the finals.

If Shohoku has been sending its main force, Hainan will definitely lose a lot. Mu Shenyi is very easy to match Miyagi Ryota, and can always break through to score or assist his teammates. In the second half, Shohoku relies on Akagi, Sakuragi, and Rukawa Kaede to ensure the offensive firepower.

In the later semi-finals, Hakata relied on its tenacious defense and depth of inside lineup to narrowly defeat Mingpeng Industrial with 5 points.

Compared with the game in Xiangbei, the game between these two teams was at the other extreme, extremely ugly.

Hakata is a team that relies on zone defense to win. It surrounds Shigehiro Mori near the penalty area. The defensive method is similar to Shohoku. The difference is that Hakata's offense is ugly, almost all of them are positional battles and singles.

Mori Shigehiro's weaknesses are exactly the same as O'Neal's. He has no shooting range outside the penalty area and cannot shoot accurately when encountering the "shark-cutting tactic".

Yang Jian felt a little regretful. Compared with a team like Hakata where no one knew anyone, he would rather face Mingpeng Industrial in the final and give Mori Shige a good meal. Unfortunately, Mingpeng Industrial's shortcomings are still very obvious. Playing depends on

The two-tower tactic is afraid of zone defense. There is a third-year player on the team who is only two centimeters shorter than Morishige and has great abilities. It would be impossible to do without them.

The final was still one-sided, and Hakata's zone defense was a joke to Shohoku.

Yang Jian's single jumper from the outside forced the Bodo players to give up their strategy of strictly guarding the penalty area and double team them.

Kaede Rukawa and Hisako Mitsui scored jumpers whenever they could. Hanamichi Sakuragi and Takenori Akagi scored and dunked under the basket many times, dominating the rebounding field.

By the time they reached the finals, Sakuragi's offensive rebounds and second-attack turnaround half-hook had become powerful weapons. Together with Rukawa Kaede, he became the most eye-catching newcomer in the competition. I heard that Sakuragi had only practiced basketball for four months.

, many prestigious universities have become interested in him.

Yang Jian took fewer shots in the last game, creating scoring opportunities for the original protagonists.

He still scored a game-high 41 points, 12 rebounds, 30 assists and 6 steals. No way, his strength did not allow him to score too few points. His shooting was too accurate, he only missed one three-pointer, and all other shots were completed.
