Chapter 187: Kawada VS Sakuragi's Unexpected Arrival
After a three-year hiatus, the Japanese men's basketball team has regrouped. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In just a few days, the players who were recruited by the Japanese Basketball Association came to Tokyo from all over the world to meet.
The new phase of the Japanese national training team has been assembled.
However, on the first day of reporting, quite a few stories happened.
The protagonist of these stories is, of course, our favorite accident and the first time to be selected for the national team.
And when these accidents come together, it evolves into one thing: Sakuragi Hanamichi and Masashi Kawada's one-on-one!!
The showdown between the two sides has begun.
After Sakuragi's first attack missed, Kawada quickly attacked.
Kawada's attack made Sakuragi a little uncomfortable, because Sakuragi was almost like defending a defender!!
Kawada is like a defender, continuous dribbling with quick starts and stops, and cross-step dribbling, although Sakuragi can still keep up, but obviously this is a passive defense for Sakuragi.
Kawada had already dribbled to the penalty area and once again performed a very coherent set of movements.
First, he dribbled the ball behind his left hand, came to the front of the basket, and as soon as his feet landed, he directly jumped again, and his body returned to the left side of the basket.
Although Kawada no longer has the opportunity to make moves, Sakuragi is no longer by his side.
Kawada jumped directly, Sakuragi rushed over at this time, but Kawada had some time to deal with it, a fold in the air, and easily scored the ball!!
"No wonder someone calls him a monster!! It's incredible to see him play, with such a huge weight, he can make even more subtle moves than a defender, which is even stronger than seeing him play for the first time!! Masashi Kawada ~~ This guy is really getting stronger again~~"
Akagi sighed.
"This is not all of Kawada's strength, that guy is really a monster-like existence~~"
Zebei added.
"How's that, you look like you're struggling to defend~~"
Kawada said as he walked towards the midfield.
"Hmph, it's just a test, and next, it's the real battle!!"
Sakuragi holds the ball and still looks very confident!!
Kawada is still a defense that ignores the lead.
Sakuragi is still a very resolute breakthrough!!
"Hmph, do you know this thing, it's not surprising, this style of play is the same as your life, brainless and savage!!"
Kawada said as he retreated.
"You don't look down on people anymore~~!!"
Sakuragi lowered his center of gravity a little more as he spoke, and suddenly stepped away.
"What's the point??"
Kawada finally added some defensive intensity, and suddenly pressed Sakuragi with his body.
"The meaning is here~!! Look at my pull-up jump shot~!! ā
As he spoke, he saw Sakuragi suddenly jump forward, and because he didn't slow down too much, Sakuragi dived forward with considerable force.
Because Kawada was too close to Sakuragi, he was pressed under Sakuragi and couldn't jump~~
"What~~!! This guy actually learned this trick!?? When is it~~!! ā
Akagi was quite surprised to see Sakuragi's movements.
Sakuragi lifted the ball in the air, tried to balance it, and threw it out with some small drifts!!
"Brush~~!!"
Hollow hit!!
"Hmph~~ I saw it, I'm serious~!!"
Sakuragi said as he looked at Kawada proudly.
"Okay, I'll take back my previous brainlessness, but it's still a brutal attack!!"
As he spoke, Kawada had already reached the middle line.
"Sakuragi Hanamichi this guy, every time I see him, there are changes, last time it was a European step, this time it turned out to be a not very standard emergency stop jump shot, what an intriguing guy!!"
Zebei also sighed.
Kawada dribbled the ball and prepared to attack.
Sakuragi changed his defensive strategy this time and kept a certain distance from Kawada, so that he was less of a dribbling threat to Kawada.
"You're not afraid of me shooting??"
Kawada said.
"I'm just afraid of the way girls cry, and I haven't found out about the rest~!!"
Sakuragi also began to tease.
"I didn't find out that you were still a lover, haha, it's fun~!!"
Kawada directly changed to the action of back-to-back singles.
Seeing this, Sakuragi directly pasted it, and Sakuragi is still more confident in the power confrontation~!!
However, Kawada's back-to-back singles are not the same as the back-to-back singles of others.
For example, Amu's focus on power confrontation is the traditional back-to-back singles, but Kawada uses the change of footwork and the feel of dribbling to reflect his back-body advantage.
One of the advantages of this kind of back-to-back singles is that the defender can't cut off the ball at all, and he can't predict what the attacker's next move will be.
Kawada pushed inside while exchanging dribbles with his left and right hands.
Sakuragi's defense was once again passive.
Kawada is already in attack range.
However, Sakuragi's physical strength is there, and it is still difficult to get rid of it completely.
"You're tougher than you think~~"
Seeing this, Kawada could only add strength and hit Sakuragi.
"Hmph~~ There's no way, let's start using brute force~~!!"
Sakuragi is comfortable, as a defender, Sakuragi likes to defend back singles the most, because it can give full play to Sakuragi's physical strength advantage!! Kawada had stopped dribbling at this point, and the offense was a little tired.
"If Kawada stops dribbling, there won't be many chances!!"
Akagi said.
"Not necessarily, Kawada will definitely have a way~~"
Zebei still believes in his old teammates.
"Goo~~~"
"Ah~~!! Damn~~~"
Just as Sakuragi was about to lock up Kawada, an uninvited guest suddenly came-roundworm!!
"Damn,,, critical moment, why did you have a stomach trouble again!!"
Sakuragi couldn't stand the pain anymore, so he put away his outstretched hands and retreated.
"Brush~~"
Kawada couldn't care so much, and just turned around and put the ball in the basket.
"Huh?? What did that guy do?? Is it hurt??!! ā
Akagi became worried.
"If the bathroom is not finished, I can wait for you, I won't give you any excuse to lose!!"
Kawada seemed to notice Sakuragi's abnormality, and looked at Sakuragi who was squatting on the ground and said.
"What are you kidding, it's just an episode, go ahead!!"
Sakuragi got back to her feet.
But looking at Sakuragi's pale face, the stomach does toss Sakuragi enough!!
Sakuragi holds the ball and the game continues.
Kawada led 2:1 on aggregate.
Sakuragi held the ball, and his expression was still very painful.
"Damn, please, belly, you can't be obedient, listen to something, it's okay for 10 minutes!!"
Sakuragi used the time of the serve to try his best to control his pain.
"Hey, I said you better go to the bathroom first!!"
Kawada reassured.
"I don't need your sympathy!!"
Sakuragi was very resolute, straightened his waist and said.
"You misunderstood, I'm afraid that if you continue like this, you will suddenly become incontinent, in that case, it will be very embarrassing~~"
Kawada said with a sneer.
"Hmph, I knew you guy didn't have a good heart, what is this matter, come on, I'll solve you!!"
Sakuragi held the ball, felt that his stomach seemed to be better, and also used his back single.
"Why are you still imitating??"
Kawada said as he stepped in the back.
"Who imitates you?? I'm a Sakuragi style back hit!! ā
As he spoke, he saw Sakuragi hitting his back and rushing towards the basket.
Kawada stubbornly defended Sakuragi, so that Sakuragi could only deviate from the track and came to a position near the bottom line.
