章 73: FOUR VS FOUR; THE PHANTOM POINT GUARD
So now that we've established the teams for the half an hour scrimmage how do we determine who will get the ball first? The standard way or through a coin flip? Asked Makoto as he takes out a coin. Since it's four persons on each team i think the coin flip would be the best option said Yukio. Yes I agree with that method plain and simple said Takahiro.
Okay heads or tails Hayato? Asked Makoto. I say tails replied Hayato. Okay lets see said Makoto as he flicked up the coin and caught it in his hand. Hayato's team gets the first ball said Makoto. Alright now that this is out of the way let's begin said Nanaho as she sat. At the start of the game Takahiro inbounded the basketball to Hayato who dribbled the ball up the court.
We have fifteen minutes in the half so we'll have to score as much as possible he said to himself.
Makoto then calmly stepped to guard Hayato, however, without hesitation Hayato passes the ball to Noboru who with a fake got by Shino and passes the ball to Liam in the paint where he was guarded by Yukio. Using the knowledge that Yukio drilled into him, he dropped his hip for more power and pounds the ball on the floor sending Yukio under the rim off balance. Liam then sets up and scored a simple layup.
Nice one Liam now let's stop them on their possession said Hayato as he ran back on defense. He scored all thanks to me passing him the ball so where the hell is my credit for that said Noboru pissed. I see, you're finally getting the hang of it Liam said Yukio as he smiled. On the next possession Yukio passes the ball to Makoto who dribbled it slowly up the court. It's been a while since we've played against each other show me what you got Makoto said Hayato as he stepped to guard him.
Yukio set a screen for Tetsuo and cut to the rim, Shino get yourself free said Makoto. Yukio then quickly screened off Takahiro allow Tetsuo to get free and immediately after Yukio cuts through the key. I can't allow Tetsuo to get the ball on the outside he'll definitely score said Takahiro as he immediately got back to guarding Tetsuo however, he noticed that Liam was also thinking in the same manner as him and was also guarding Tetsuo, leaving Yukio wide open. As swift and precise as an arrow Makoto passed the basketball to Yukio who easily scored a layup.
If it takes something as simple as that to breakdown your defensive formation then you guys have alot of work to do said Makoto as he jogged back on defense. Makoto really is a great point guard in a single play he proved that point and without breaking a sweat said Nanaho impressed. After bringing the ball up the court Hayato quickly passes the ball to Takahiro and sets a screen for him allowing him the drive to the rim to attempt a layup. Yukio jumped into the air to block him however Takahiro passes the ball to Liam who dunks it.
That's what I'm talking about nice dunk big guy said Noboru. On the next possession Makoto called for a double screen and then he drives to the rim. To prevent him from scoring Takahiro left his maker thinking that he'd be able to corner him with Liam. Makoto then quickly dished out the ball to Tetsuo through Takahiro's leg. Tetsuo then sets up and shoots a three pointer that swishes.
After that the ball was immediately passed to Noboru who scored a layup off of a fast break. Makoto then dribbled the ball upcourt where he was met by Hayato. Let's see what you've got Makoto he said as he applied pressure on Makoto who was still calm. Yukio cuts through the key and upon glancing at him Makoto passed the ball exactly in his hand by doing a behind the back pass.
Yukio quickly shot a layup and scored before Liam could block him. How the hell did that pass got through and it was so precise he passed through the small gaps of our defense, this kid is really amazing said Hayato to himself impressed. Now i see why in junior high they called him the phantom point guard, his passes are so lethal and quick , he also added a spin to it. It almost like a missile that has locked target on you, the ball will always find you no matter what said Yukio as he smiled.
Looks like Makoto is still living up to his junior high reputation, our team couldn't get any better, inter high here we come said Nanaho to herself excitedly. After coming down the court Hayato quickly passed to Takahiro who shoots a two pointer that swishes. Makoto then brought down the ball once more and passed the ball to Shino who took the triple threat position. Noboru then stepped to guard him. What are you going to do? There's nothing you can do because you'll never get pass me amateur said Noboru with confidence.
He's right, i can't beat him, no I'm wrong, if i can't get pass him I'll never get better said Shino to himself as he faked a shot which cause Noboru to jump. He then drove to the rim and attempted a layup however Liam tried to block, Shino then passed the ball to Yukio who dunks it with one hand. Nice work Shino, keep it up said Yukio as he tapped him on the shoulder. I did it, I somehow managed to get pass him said Shino to himself surprised. That bastard how dare he humiliate me like that said Noboru to himself pissed. Wow, Shino has really come a long way, his training is really paying off. Then again nobody practices and work as hard as he does so I'm glad that he has made progess said Nanaho as smiled.
Hayato pass the ball said Noboru as Hayato passed the ball. Let's see what you've got amateur. You'll never get pass me said Shino. we'll see about that, I'll bring you back down on earth. As Noboru dribbled the ball and crossed to get by Shino, Shino managed to stay infront of him. Noboru then spins off of him however Shino reacted and stayed infront of him. Wow, he can't shake him said Takahiro surprised. Shit, when did he get so good at defense said Noboru as he frustratedly try to get by Shino.
Out of nowhere Makoto stole the ball from him. Shit, i didn't see him, that sneaky bastard. Makoto then quickly dribbled the ball and scored a layup. I hate to admit it but the four player they have is a better combination than ours, my only option is to use Liam to gain some form of advantage said Hayato to himself. On the next possession Hayato passed the ball to Liam in the post where he was guarded by Yukio. Using his strength Liam easily powered his way through and dunks the basketball. This game is really getting exciting i wonder who will win said Nanaho to herself.
