At this time, Coach Anzai finally said his intention to replace Sakuragi.

It turned out that Coach Anzai found that Sakuragi on the court seemed to be unable to find his own position, and had been blindly chasing basketball, and his actions gave Sanno a lot of opportunities. Sitting in the audience, he can finally look at the team of the Mountain King from the perspective of a bystander, and at the same time, he is also free from emotions such as joy, anxiety, and anger, and he finally understands his position and finds what he should do.

The King of the Mountains is like a combination of Xiangyang, Hainan and Lingnan.

They have extraordinary height, strong interior line, super star players, strong scoring ability, especially in rebounding, Mikio Kawada played a lot stronger in the second half than in the first half, so that the proud and arrogant Sakuragi is naturally not his opponent, and the frontcourt rebounds are also in the hands of the opponent, so there is no reason to be undefeated.

Every time Mitsui, Akagi and Rukawa Kaede strike iron, it is an opportunity for the other party to accumulate advantages, and the advantage of the mountain king is also accumulated little by little, turning into a desperate victory.

Seeing that Xiangbei's offensive was resolved again and again, and the mountain king's offensive turned into victory in one frontcourt rebound after another, Sakuragi finally remembered Akagi's words-

Whoever gets the rebounder wins the world!

Sakuragi's positioning in Xiangbei is the big front, and the most important role of the big front in the basketball game is to grab rebounds, even if the score is only single digits, we can also call him a good big front, but a double scorer, a player with extremely poor ability in rebounding and defense can never be called a big front, and will only be called a layman.

Sakuragi's defensive ability, driven by his bottomless physical strength, is not up to the average of Daizen, but his ball intelligence and whimsy can make up for his mistakes in critical moments, and his pursuit of basketball and super bounce ability make him quite successful in rebounding, so when he focuses on winning, he is the strongest!

"If you can grab more rebounds in the frontcourt, you'll be the killer of our comeback!"

- Coach Anzay.

"Go Sakuragi, you're a genius!"

- Ayako and the subs.

"Sakuragi, I believe in you!"

- Haruko.

Coach Anzai's words put the responsibility on Sakuragi, Ayako and Xiangbei substitutes' words are to cheer him on, Haruko's words are his motivation to move forward, and he is ready to fight!

Sakuragi shook hands with everyone, and he felt the belief in victory in everyone's hearts!

"Tut, Xiangbei requests a replacement!"

During the time Sakuragi was off the court, the difference had widened to 24 points, and everyone thought that Xiangbei's defeat was decided, but Sakuragi jumped directly to the referee's seat before going on the court and shouted at all the audience: "You guys have shown me a good look, and then I, the basketball genius Sakuragi, will lead Xiangbei to defeat the King of the Mountains!"

Sakuragi didn't care about the boos from the audience, he had long since lost so many distractions!

At this time, Akagi was silent under the strong pressure of Masashi Kawada, that is, Sanno No. 7, Kazunari Fukasawa, Masashi Kawada, Eiji Sawakita, Minoru Matsumoto, Satoshi Ichikura, Mikio Kawada, and Masahiro Nobe, these seven people are like a big mountain in front of Xiangbei, and if you want to win, you must conquer them one by one.

As soon as Sakuragi appeared on the stage, he had to face No. 5 Nobe Shohiro, who was valued by the king of the mountain only because of his ability to grab rebounds, and his strong rebounding skills had made Sakuragi unable to get a good position in the previous ten minutes, and almost abolished Sakuragi's rebounding ability.

Sakuragi, who debuted on the stage, first disturbed the opponent's mind by pulling his clothes, and then jumped to grab the rebound four times in a row with his super explosive power, and his powerful ability scared Nobe Shohiro into fear.

The appearance of Uozi awakens Akagi, and he finally remembers that his goal is to dominate the country, and if he falls here, his dream will never come true. He didn't play singles anymore, he still had teammates, he learned to pass.

At this time, Mitsui began to erupt, he got rid of Minoru Matsumoto and threw a three-pointer, and it was this three-point shot he threw at the moment when he was unstable, and Xiangbei saw the hope of winning!

Mitsui can't see anything clearly, but he still has the opponent's basket in his eyes, he still has Akagi who helps him block and dismantle, and he still has three points!

The third time he missed a three-point attempt, but he didn't care, because Sakuragi said - "I'm going to lead the team to victory this day!"

Mitsui believes in Sakuragi.

Under the bag of Masashi Kawada and Shohiro Nobe, Sakuragi jumped three times in a row, and the last time he fell to the ground hard, but he gave the ball to Mitsui.

It's three points!

His power led everyone on the field, and Mitsui and the gorilla began to exert their power! Rukawa Kaede also cheered up in Sakuragi's taunts! He aroused the gorilla's dream of dominating high school! He aroused Mitsui's trust in his teammates! He aroused Rukawa Kaede's pride in becoming the No. 1 high school student in the country!

At this time, there are ten minutes left in the game, the score is 63:53, and Xiangbei is still ten points away!

Sakuragi's struggling figure reminded Coach Anzai of a basketball genius he once taught, Ryuji Tanizawa, who chose to study in the NBA because he was dissatisfied with Coach Anzai's iron-fisted coaching. Five years later, his mother brought news of his suicide and a confession letter that was four years late.

"Gu Ze, have you seen it, the genius who surpassed you has finally appeared!"

After a four-point pull, after Sakuragi blocked Masashi Kawada's layup, Rukawa Kaede began to exert his might, and his rise was instantly discovered by Zebei. Zebei, a narrow-minded person, decided to completely defeat Rukawa Kaede before leaving the country, become the real number one in the country, and clear his worries about his American path!

Rukawa Kaede faces the opponent's No. 9 Eiji Zebei is known as the first person in high school basketball in the country, and his strength is extremely balanced in all aspects, his breakthrough broke through five people in Xiangbei, and then easily picked up the basket to score, and even in the face of Sakuragi, Akagi and Rukawa Kaede three people blocked, he can still use his strong ability to stay in the air, slip and score with hooks on the other side of the rebound, his powerful bounce can even be compared to Sakuragi, in the second half when Rukawa Kaede was ready to break out, he was full of strength, in just two minutes, he contributed 3 blocks, 2 steals and 11 points, and pulled the gap down to 19 points again.

Facing Zebei, who is unparalleled in singles, Rukawa Kaede finally understood what the coach and Xiandao said.

The coach said, "You can't compare to the Immortal Dao." ”

Xiandao said, "Attack is only a tactic, and basketball cannot be won by one tactic alone! So you can never surpass me until you figure out how to win." ”

Rukawa Kaede, a man who has been full of cool, cooler, and coolest from the first time he appeared, finally learned to pass, and he pretended to break through to make a stop-and-go jump shot, but in fact, he used his own attack power to attract the attention of the opponent's less experienced Mikio Kawada and Eiji Sawawa, and he passed the ball to Akagi-

"Over to you!"
