Chapter 618: Sakuragi VS Rukawa Kaede, the fateful duel "I'm going to knock you down~!!"

Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi have had a total of two "one-on-one" duels. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Both of these times were initiated by Sakuragi Hanamichi.

For the first time, Sakuragi challenged Rukawa Kaede with a posture of "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers~~

Although it was a fiasco, no one thought that Sakuragi really lost to Rukawa Kaede.

The second time, Sakuragi felt that he had enough confidence to attack Rukawa Kaede.

Although it ended in a "draw" at the cost of Sakuragi Hanamichi's injury, Sakuragi let everyone see his growth~~

For a long time after that, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede were growing up as "teammates"~~

However, the two of them did not seem to be "teammates" getting along.

It wasn't until Sakuragi Hanamichi left the Kobe Jaguar team that the relationship between the two came to the bottom.

Finally, two years later, Hanamichi Sakuragi and Kaede Rukawa met again in the ring, this time, they were opponents, and this was their "third" matchup.

And before the game, Sakuragi Hanamichi took the initiative to "bump fists" with Rukawa Kaede, which made this game full of more "duel" elements.

As he spoke, the game began.

Morishige jumped high and won the first wave of possession.

It seems that the "Big Mac" who has successfully lost weight has gradually recovered a lot of bouncing~~

Aikawa took the ball and came to the frontcourt.

It seems that Sakuragi Hanamichi is still a big forward here, and he is still defending Takaya after falling to the position at halftime.

Sakuragi should also get used to defending Takaya, and Sakuragi is really familiar with this opponent~~~

However, this side of Aikawa Hikoka seems to want to steal the show, and when he comes to the half, there is no tactical execution at all, and it is directly a jump shot that stops urgently~!!

"Bell ~ !!"

However, this sudden shot did not lead to the first goal, wasting Mori Shigekuan jumping to the ball.

"My ~!!!"

Sakuragi shouted and took the rebound.

As soon as it came up, there was a contribution.

Here, Kenji Fujima dribbled over half the court, and Fujima did not come nonsense, but gave the ball to one of the protagonists of the game - Sakuragi Hanamichi.

"Papapa~!!!"

At this time, the photographer on the scene began to suddenly "attack".

Because standing in front of Sakuragi Hanamichi who is holding the ball, it is Rukawa Kaede ~~~

The air in the entire Sony Center seems to have suddenly frozen~~

Not only why, there was no cover, no change of guard occurred, but Rukawa Kaede suddenly came to Sakuragi Hanamichi's side.

This seems to be the first time that Rukawa Kaede has taken the initiative to challenge Sakuragi Hanamichi.

"Although I have always disliked you as a guy, but whenever I think of you, I always feel that I have not worked hard enough, I seem to be about to be surpassed, with this "sense of crisis" I have been forcing myself to work harder~~ Especially when you won the championship, this feeling is the strongest, I seem to be questioning myself, what have I done over the years~~How can I be surpassed by that kind of big idiot, I don't affirm him, I'm just questioning myself, whether I'm working hard ~~"

This is Rukawa Kaede's inner monologue at this time, although Rukawa Kaede usually has very few words, but the more such a person, the more he puts all the words in his stomach and says it to himself.

Perhaps it was this kind of thinking that made Rukawa Kaede want to try what the gap between himself and Sakuragi Hanamichi was.

And Sakuragi Hanamichi was also a little stunned, he didn't expect Rukawa Kaede to "take the initiative" so soon.

"Right~!!"

Haruko and Mitsui stared at the TV and said in unison.

If this had been a few years ago, Sakuragi would have never hesitated to let his teammates pull away and singled Kaede Rukawa.

But now it's different, Sakuragi is more mature~~~

"Huh~!!"

Sure enough, with a very covert pass, Sakuragi gave up the single Rukawa Kaede and instead gave the ball to Simmons, who cut in the air.

Sakuragi, who is level-headed, must be thinking back to the tactics arranged by Coach Moriyama before.

And it can be seen from the changes in the two people, the changes in their minds.

In the past, Sakuragi took the initiative to challenge Rukawa Kaede, but now such an opportunity has been placed in front of him, but Sakuragi ignored it, and Rukawa Kaede did take the initiative to find it, maybe this is the difference between winning the championship and a non-championship player~~

"Brush~!!"

Simmons, who received the ball here, had already gotten rid of Takano who was much slower than his pace, and directly cut to the basket and hit a solid wipe shot.

Sakuragi came up with an assist.

So Sakuragi's maturity lies in the fact that he can help the team in other ways besides scoring.

Especially after this ban, Sakuragi seems to cherish the opportunity to stay on the court even more and do his best to help the team win.

In the Flying Waves, the way to help the team win is to pass more balls and play a more complete team attack.

"Okay~!!, or change it back~!!"

Takano looked at Rukawa Kaede and said.

"No problem~~"

Rukawa Kaede nodded and said.

"Click~~Brush~!!"

The attack of the electronic team here, Rukawa Kaede is not ambiguous, Sakuragi is driving his teammates to score, and Rukawa Kaede is eager to prove that he is scoring by himself.

Under Simmons' defense, Rukawa Kaede continued to dribble under his crotch to find a feeling, and then directly hit a mid-range shot~~

Two people are driving the team in different ways.

Here, the Flying Waves team attacked again, and it was Rukawa Kaede who defended Sakuragi Hanamichi.

Because Sakuragi was covering on the inside this time, there wasn't much individual confrontation.

The head coach of the electronic team on the sidelines, Yuchai Geshu, watched this scene and didn't say anything, but sat quietly in the coach's seat.

Look at the situation on the field.

Maybe Rukawa Kaede told Coach Yushiba before the game that he would go to defend Sakuragi Hanamichi, maybe he didn't say it, this is a change that Rukawa Kaede made after he played, but ~~

It seems that Coach Hashiba has no objections.

"Brush~!!"

Here, the Flying Waves team gave the ball to Fujima through a series of cooperation, and Fujima scored again with the help of a covering throw.

Sakuragi didn't even touch the ball in this attack, but he did a lot of quality cover for his teammates~~

"After the opening, the tactical execution of the Feilang team is still very strong~!!! This is the Feilang team, the least mistakes, cherish every offensive round, and play high-quality team basketball~!!"

The commentary also praised the Flying Wave team.

"Give me the ball~!!"

Here, Rukawa Kaede whispered to Aikawa, who was dribbling and preparing to pass the half.

It seems that Rukawa Kaede still wants to use his personal ability to solve the problem.

Sure enough, it was Rukawa Kaede who took the ball, but this time Takano stepped forward to block and dismantle~~

Rukawa Kaede also quickly accepted the blocking, Simmons was covered and couldn't get out, and Sakuragi Hanamichi was a very standard delay~~

"Oh oh~!!! here, here, here~!!Rukawa Kaede is going to single Sakuragi Hanamichi~!!"

Finally, under the watchful eyes of the young fans on the sidelines, Rukawa Kaede got the opportunity to single Sakuragi.

Seeing this, the teammates immediately settled near the baseline and sideline.

It creates a very good singles space for Rukawa Kaede.

"I'm going to knock you down~!!"

Rukawa Kaede dribbled the ball, looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi with sharp eyes, and said suddenly.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes and heard it with your own ears, you would definitely think that this sentence was said by Sakuragi Hanamichi ~~~
