Chapter 422: Red Will
At this moment, when everyone thought that Xiangbei would be defeated, Rukawa Kaede passed the ball to Akagi.
The surprised Akagi didn't have time to think about anything, he was the same as Mitsui, his eyes were only baskets, and the movements of his hands were not even controlled by his brain, and he threw this ball with all his might!
"The goal is valid, the fifteenth hitter, plus a free throw!"
Sakuragi's power disrupted the rhythm of the mountain king, and the powerful center Masashi Kawada was sent to defend Sakuragi, and Mikio Kawada, who was still very rough in his ball skills, acted as a temporary center. He became the weakest point of the mountain king, and Xiangbei scored one after another on him.
Rukawa Kaede's scoring means finally changed from a simple offense to an offensive co-ordination, and under his strength, the score became 74:66 with 2 minutes and 50 seconds left, and Xiangbei was only 8 points behind.
Sakuragi always calls himself a genius, and genius is 1% inspiration and 99% sweat! In basketball, 1% of inspiration refers to basketball IQ, which is manifested in choosing reasonable technical actions at the right time, maintaining stable psychological quality, and not being affected by others.
The audience saw Sakuragi's basketball IQ in this episode, and that wild imagination was not at all the thinking of a layman who had only learned basketball for a few months.
"Zebei is the super trump card of the Mountain King, and when he attacks, I will give up Kawada to come over to help defend."
"Sakuragi, it's too risky, Kawada ......"
"Trust me, he can't pass the ball! Because he never loses! β
In the design of the genius Sakuragi, Zebei's ball was defended, and this ball completely shattered the fear brought by Zebei and lifted the morale of the army again.
Just when everyone thought that the counterattack had begun, Kazunari Fukasawa cut off Miyagi's ball, but because of his haste to do it, the ball hit Miyagi's feet and bounced out of bounds......
What is youth?
Youth is a choice without regrets! Even if it is difficult and dangerous, we must do our best, just for that glimmer of light, only for that glimmer of possibility, only for that constant fetters.
Sakuragi stopped Mitsui and jumped into the air with all his might, the beginner in basketball, he jumped!
What made him insist on not giving up in the face of such adversity? What makes him uncomplaining and never admit defeat? What kind of will has made him fight to this point?
Sakuragi flew to save the ball, and the ball returned to Mitsui, but Sakuragi fell heavily on the referee's seat......
I still remember the first day of school, Haruko returned home and said to Akagi: "Brother, today I found a very talented player, although he is a beginner, but I believe that one day, he will definitely become the pillar of the team......"
He did it, he did it in this game, and he lived up to anyone's expectations!
The scene of Sakuragi flying to save the ball was reflected in the eyes of the audience and projected into the hearts of all the audience.
The belief that there is no fear of injury for the sake of victory is conveyed through the manga and the screen, and the will engraved in the soul can be felt and deeply shocked even if it is across thousands of mountains and rivers, even across a dimension.
The boiling roar on the pitch has been completely reversed! Whether it is for the struggle of Xiangbei or sympathy for the weak, the audience's cry is to yearn for miracles and to create miracles.
The loud noise resounded not only on the court, but also in the ears. Everyone is worried about him, is he okay?
Sure enough, the fear became a reality! He was bruised in the back, and in the collision with Masashi Kawada, he was elbowed to his spine, and Sakuragi fell to his knees.
"I'm fine!"
Sakuragi suppressed the pain in his body with his heartless laughter! And Sakuragi's behavior made Sakuragi Kaede, the other CP, completely explode! He blew Zebei up, a 3-pointer, and at this moment with two minutes left, Rukawa Kaede chased the score back.
The coach of the king of the mountain chose to take a timeout, even if he knew that the scorers in Xiangbei urgently needed a timeout to recover their strength, he resolutely called a timeout! At this time, because he discovered an important problem - Eiji Sawakita, the basketball player who once thought he was the No. 1 high school player in the country, was not as good as Rukawa Kaede, who had just entered high school, and for the honor of the king, he had to adjust his strategy.
Ayako noticed Sakuragi's abnormality, and she told Sakuragi that the part of your injury may be the spine, and the spine is related to the life of the player, and the blame is nerve paralysis, and the lower body is paralyzed......
Sakuragi was very simple, but he was extremely sensitive, he saw that Akagi was secretly wiping his tears just now, Ki Twilight's tone of praise was trembling, Ayako's eyes were full of chagrin, and even the expressionless Rukawa Kaede paid a slight attention......
"I'm a genius! I'm not dead! β
Sakuragi could feel the tingling in his spine, but he couldn't get off the field. The bench depth in Xiangbei is notoriously low, only Mu Dui, Mitsui's substitute, still has some strength, and the other players are basically playing soy sauce, if the team doesn't have themselves at this time, these 5 points will definitely not be able to catch up!
"I'm going to keep going, even if it's going to be in bed for a few months after that, I'm going to win!"
The two sides returned to the field, and the king of the mountain once again started the full-court tight defense, as long as he survived these two minutes, the victory was the king of the mountain!
However, the situation at this time is not favorable for the Hunan North Pole.
The person who knows Sakuragi's condition best is Masashi Kawada, and in order to defend the dignity of the king, he uses small moves in the fight with Sakuragi for backcourt rebounds, and Sakuragi receives a heavy blow to the spine......
"Rebounding king, Sakuragi!"
"If you can do it, it's the key to turning defeat into victory!"
"20,000 balls, trivial!"
"You...... Love basketball? β
At this moment, Sakuragi finally understood that liking a person is different from liking basketball! You can like basketball because you're a person, or you can like someone because of basketball, but liking is not the same as liking!
"When was Daddy's glory days? Do you play a national competition? β
Sakuragi straightened his back strongly, raised his head proudly, and his eyes were full of determination: "I! Only now! β
There is one minute left in the clock, there are still 5 minutes left in the score, and it is the king of the mountain who holds the ball! Xiangbei is ready to score at least 6 points in this final minute!
Sakuragi's back was in extreme pain, and it was the Sanno players who saw this and chose to move Masashi Kawada to the center position, and Mikio Kawada returned to Daizen, as he did in the opening game. The king of the mountain thinks that Sakuragi at this time, Mikio Kawada is enough alone!
But the Sanno underestimated Sakuragi's determination!
He jumped high and made a strong block, shattering the arrangement of the King of the Mountain and destroying the attack, "Don't underestimate me, I'm a basketball genius Sakuragi Hanamichi!" β
Xiangbei's quick attack scored three points under Mitsui's perfect performance, and also got a free throw opportunity under the collision of Sanno No. 6 Minoru Matsumoto.
Xiangbei and the king of the mountains are already as loud as the voice! The nickname of the red-headed monk has become the nickname of the audience, and this call even crushed anyone in the two teams of Xiangbei and Shanwang, becoming the only name to be shouted on the field.
With 49.1 seconds left, the score was only 1 point away, and the Mountain King had the ball.
To defeat this, everyone stood up regardless of the image, Xiangyang, Hainan, Lingnan, Haruko, Sakuragi Army......
"Hold on! Hold on! β
"Defend this ball even if you die!"
"Xiangbeiββ"
