Previous Chapter:
The Autumn National Sports Tournament opened, the dunk masters gathered again, and Sakuragi recovered from injury to form the strongest Kanagawa team
In the noisy stadium, Osaka and Kanagawa fans competed with each other, and the evenly matched decibels seemed to indicate that the game would also be full of suspense, and they cheered for the home team in an orderly manner while waving empty drink bottles. The kanagawa team wearing a white jersey and the Osaka team in a purple jersey.
The two teams warmed up as usual, and Jun Tsuchiya was showing off various long-range dry jumpers, conceding only one goal in a row.
"His empty jump shot percentage is second only to yours, Ah God." Ah Mu stopped ah shen who was staring at the earthen house.
"Captain, I don't have that much skill." Ah Shen was slightly shy, and turned to point at Xiandao and said, "We have similar players here." ”
"Xiandao?" scold. Ah Mu looked at Xiandao, who only conceded one goal in a row of ten difficulty jump shots, and thought to himself, "It seems that today's stage may have to give way to two of them." ”
"However, the captain's body is stronger than Tsuchiya's, and if he forcibly breaks through, he should have no way." Ah Shen seemed to see through Ah Mu's thoughts, after all, they had been very familiar with each other as golden partners in the past two years.
"Of course." Ah Mu pondered for a moment and said, "But it should be difficult for him to completely limit it." ”
"Osaka's No. 4 looks strong, but this level is useless in front of this genius." Sakuragi stepped forward and smiled, "Mortals, look good." After saying that, he used his 100-meter galloping speed from half to quickly approach Jun Tsuchiya, who was practicing jump shots.
"Sakuragi classmate?" Ah Shen tried to stop Sakuragi.
"Sakuragi?" Amu also tried to stop Sakuragi.
"That idiot?" Akagi didn't have time to react and watched from a distance as Sakuragi approached Tsuchiya.
"That red monkey is going to do things again." Kiyota pointed to Sakuragi, who was galloping away.
Everyone couldn't understand Sakuragi, why did she have to do some tidbits every time she warmed up.
However, the moment Sakuragi jumped, Tsuchiya had already realized that he could easily fool Sakuragi by making a fake move, but the core figure of Osaka did not do that, but slowly jumped backwards with the trend. Seeing that Sakuragi was about to touch the ball under the action of the superhuman bounce, Tsuchiya's body was still leaning back.
"Such a long distance, such an exaggerated backlash is impossible to enter." Sakuragi thought to herself, "Although there is no way to cover him, under the meticulous defense of this genius, this ball is absolutely impossible to score." ”
Just as Sakuragi was smug, the ball snapped into the net. The crowd was shocked and lamented Tsuchiya's powerful physical balance ability and ability to stay empty. Although it is only a seemingly simple back-up dry jumper, the key to being able to take off such a high level while maintaining balance and easily throwing the ball at a distance is to face the cover of the monster Sakuragi, even on the national stage, there are very few defenders and forwards who can do this.
"Well, it's just a back-up jumper, there's no need to make such a fuss." Kiyota was dismissive.
Sakuragi looked straight at Tsuchiya Jun's face after he fell, and for a moment he seemed to feel a stronger sense of oppression than when He first went head-to-head with Ryukawa. The opponent did not fear his bounce at all, but chose to attack head-on. At the beginning, even if Zebei had to use his own unique throw in the face of his own defense, and this Tsuchiya Jun...
"It's so dangerous, you jumped very high, Sakuragi." Tsuchiya smiled and sighed.
"Oh... Sakuragi was shocked, not expecting that the buddy in front of him actually knew his name. Shunshi began to hook up with his back again and said, "Cough, your jump shot just now is not bad, I hope the game will also play like this." ”
Everyone looked at Sakuragi's brain door with a drop of sweat, wondering why he still had his face to say this to others after watching Tsuchiya's jump shot.
With Fujima's shouts, kanagawa gathered and gathered around, waiting for the tall coach to announce the list of players for the first match.
"Listen, our opponent in the first game is very strong, and we will definitely quickly establish the initiative of the game with the tactics of running and bombing, and everyone must not take it lightly and cannot follow the rhythm of the other side." The tall-headed coach went straight to the point and set the big tone for the game.
"Okay." Morale was high.
"Next, I announce today's starters." Takato glanced at Fujima, then at the group of teenagers in front of him who were eager to become the first players, and slowly said. "Point Guard: No. 4 Makiichi."
The camera cuts to Ah Mu's confident expression, as if this is to be expected.
"Scoring guard: No. 7 Sendo Akira."
Xiandao was still dazed. But as a man who is comparable to Ah Mu, he should also have a place in the first five tigers.
"Small Forward: No. 6 Ashen."
Ah Shen's expression was still innocent and confident. He is kanagawa's most accurate three-point shooter.
Mitsui, on the other hand, didn't speak, and didn't know what he was thinking at this moment.
"Big forward... Speaking of the big forward, the high head paused.
The camera shows Sakuragi, Fukuda, Hanami, Hasegawa... Who exactly is The Kanagawa Starter.
"No. 10 Sakuragi Blossom Road."
Everyone was shocked, the words did not fall, and Sakuragi, who took a step forward, was full of confidence: "Under the leadership of this genius, I will beat one of their pieces of armor at the beginning." ”
"I didn't expect the red monkey to start first," kiyota, who was jealous, was very upset and whispered.
"Center: No. 5 Akagi Tsuyoshi."
Akagi was relieved, and his eyes were full of determination.
"Coach Gaotou and I have been discussing the issue of the starting player for a long time, but we still adopt a conservative strategy, and select the five most suitable starters in Kanagawa at present based on the performance of the prefectural assembly and the national competition." Fujima looked at Sakuragi and said, "And Sakuragi's rebounding ability is also obvious to everyone, and the rebounding at the beginning is an important weight for us to grasp the initiative of the game." ”
"The rebounding is wrapped up in this genius, candidate." Sakuragi hooked Fujima's shoulders.
"Good value." Fuji was embarrassed.
"There are still a lot of games to play, and players who are not selected as the first players don't have to be discouraged, everyone will have the opportunity to play, and the first players in the next game will be selected according to different opponents." Takato added: "I hope that everyone will also cheer up and cheer for the players on the field." Shunshi looked at Fujima again and said, "Classmate Fujima, next you tell you about our strategy for starting today." ”
"The other side is likely to speed up at the beginning, we have to try to cut off their fast attack line, and then use positional warfare to decide the victory or defeat with Osaka as much as possible." Fujima looked at Sakuragi and Akagi again, "Whether Osaka can launch a defensive counterattack depends on the protection of the rebound, Akagi, Sakuragi, you must cheer up." ”
Turning to look at Ah Mu and Ah Shen, he said: "Ah Mu can use speed and strength to try to cut into the basket to give the outside Ah Shen, and use the cooperation that the Hainan team is best at to preemptively attack." ”
Finally, he looked at Sendo and said, "If you encounter a situation where you can't open the situation, Sendo students can try to single." ”
While watching Fujima meticulously arrange his tactics, the high-headed coach silently praised in his heart, "It is not a loss to the coach and leader of the Xiangyang team, snatching up my lines." Smiling and encouraging the five tigers first: "Everyone try to keep a normal mind and take out the state of training." ”
Just like that, Sakuragi, Akagi, Amu, Sendo, and Ashen clapped their hands together and shouted, "Come on Kanagawa." He strode towards the arena.
However, at this time, osaka's starting five tigers also went to the field. They were: "Point Guard: Jun Tsuchiya, Shooting Guard: Itakura, Small Forward: Nan Lie, Big Forward: Kishimoto, and Center 197 from Ōei Gakuen: Genbu." The head coach is a kind old man with the same name as Ansai coach, who is the godfather of Osaka shelling tactics: Kitano Sensei.
Kitano shook hands with Takato.
"Kitano-sensei, I haven't seen you for a long time, but today your shelling tactics are shown by the best high school students in Osaka in recent years, and I am looking forward to what kind of amazing game this group of children can play." Takato said with a smile.
"After the award, the Kanagawa team also made up the strongest high school player in recent years." Kitano.
"But if you accidentally crack your strongest running and bombing tactics, Kitano Sensei will not be surprised." The words of the high head hide hostility.
"Oh, just have fun with the kids, let them enjoy the game." Kitano is still saying this, and he is very much advocating the concept of friendship first and competition second.
"Yes, just let these kids have fun." The high head obviously wants to win the game more.
With the referee's whistle sounding and the official match finally starting, who can take the initiative to start the game?
