Chapter 761: Sakuragi True Biography - The Road to Winning the Championship in the Arena Chapter
Sakuragi's three-point strike helped the Kobe Jaguar team complete their revenge, eliminated the ninja team, and reached the semifinals again after many years. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After that, in the semifinals, the Jaguars lost to that year's defending champions, the Sendai Rovers.
And coincidentally, it was the same as the previous national championship victory over Sanno Industries, because he was too desperate, and when facing the Rover, Mitsui Shou and Sakuragi Hanamichi were injured one after another.
Lacking two main forces, even though Rukawa Kaede played god-level data and performed against the sky, it was difficult to beat four hands with two fists, and the Jaguar team still fell in front of injuries.
I always think back to that series. Some people will say~~
If: the all-main Jaguar team and the Rover play five games, who will have the last laugh.
This "what if" is so fascinating and meaningless, the basketball game can never be replicated, the past is gone, and injuries have always been a part of the game.
After that, the Jaguar team seemed to have formed an "indissoluble bond" with injuries, and next season Mitsui not only found out that the concussion was aggravated, but finally Mitsui decided to give up his basketball career, in order not to let those who "love themselves" get injured, and officially retired ~~
Mitsui's retirement once made Sakuragi have the idea of retiring, but in the end, under the influence of Shiqi, Sakuragi came back, but such a farce made the Jaguar team end hastily that season.
It was that farce that became the fuse for Sakuragi Hanamichi to be traded by the team in the following season.
In order to clarify the core of the team, in order to ensure that Rukawa Kaede can stay during the contract period, in order to "resolve" the contradiction between Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi, in order to tidy up the atmosphere of the team, in order to ~~ "champion". The Jaguars sent Sakuragi Hanamichi to the Fukuyama Flying Waves, although they also traded for foreign aid and interior Swift, but that deal was later considered "the stupidest deal in the world".
Because Kenichi Takayama's boss traded not only their starting power forward, but also a future Finals MVP.
Sakuragi Hanamichi, who came to the Fukuyama Flying Waves, did not sink, did not "think about retiring", although it has been "relieved for a while", Sakuragi quickly integrated into the new team.
With his "old friend" Kenji Fujima and his contemporaneous hybrid Slyer Kento, he quickly formed a powerful offensive firepower combination.
In the first round of the playoffs, they eliminated the Sado Island Radiance Team, which also believes in "team basketball", with a 3-0 sweep.
In the semi-finals later, facing the Osaka Iron Horse team led by Nakaliman, the Feilang team once again defeated the opponent 3:1 and advanced to the finals strongly.
Some people may say that the Waves were lucky to not meet any real "strong opponents" in the first round and semi-finals.
But luck has always been part of the strength of the team.
And the opponent they faced in the finals should be the Nagoya Ninja team that Sakuragi Hanamichi is all too familiar with.
At that time, the ninja team eliminated the Kagoshima Antlers team in the semi-finals, proving that the strongest spear can break the strongest shield, and the team was united from top to bottom, and the momentum was high, all wanting to bring the first championship to Nagoya~~
The Flying Waves, which already has a championship, hopes to find a "partner" for the previous "Golden Basket".
In the first game between the two sides at JAL Center, Simmons suddenly broke out, and under his three-point rain, the Flying Waves won their first victory and regained home advantage.
But the bad news came again, Simmons returned to the United States early for treatment due to injury, and missed the rest of the finals.
"Injuries to teammates in key battles", this is too common in Sakuragi's previous career~~
But this time Sakuragi is not alone, he still has teammates, and the Kenji Fujima who always turns decay into magic in the finals.
After losing the second game, he returned to the Green Coast Arena in Fukuyama, and the recharged Fujima announced a strong return~~
"Brush~!!"
"Toot ~ !!"
"Click~Brush~!!"
"Toot ~ !!"
One inexplicable goal after another, one after another two plus one, the time seems to have returned to the finals two years ago, the omnipotent No. 4, the super-god No. 4~~
Even so, the Waves lost a home stadium and the two sides fought to a 2-2 draw.
Later, in the battle of Tennoyama at the JAL Center, Sakuragi Hanamichi bravely stood up when Fujima was completely locked up, and in the JAL Center, the "blessed land of Sakuragi", Sakuragi was thorough and broke out, and whenever the ninja team saw that they were about to catch up with the score, Sakuragi could always stand up and help the team hold the victory.
That game may be the strongest individual battle in Sakuragi Hanamichi's career, although there is no killer ball, but 28 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 blocks, 3 steals, no need to say anything more~~
Such a performance in the finals is almost unique, even the previous Immortal Dao has never played such terrifying data.
Sakuragi Hanamichi, who is in the sixth year of his career, has finally released his true strength!!
Sakuragi uses his own actions to fulfill his promises and promises step by step.
There is one game left, and Sakuragi will make his dream come true.
"Winning a championship for Kobe is a promise I made since I entered the league, and this promise I remember every day, every day, I remind myself, every day, I ask myself. Now, this promise is about to be fulfilled, although I am not in Kobe, but as an individual, I also want to win the championship, not for anything else, for those who have supported me over the years, those who have helped me, and those who have belittled me over the years, it is your depreciation that makes me more motivated~~ Now, focus on basketball, focus on the game, Sakuragi Hanamichi, don't leave yourself regrets~!!"
In the player tunnel before the sixth game, Sakuragi Hanamichi was waiting to play, hammering his chest and saying secretly.
"Let's go, Sakuragi~!!"
Fujima patted Sakuragi on the shoulder and said.
"Let's go, brothers~!!"
Slale stood behind Sakuragi and Fujima, hugged the two, and said with great ambition that on the road to winning the championship, although Simmons was missing, Sakuragi never felt lonely.
The pre-game momentum of the Flying Waves team is quite good, and the championship point game can have a few times in their careers.
Once the match began, Team Flying Waves turned their pre-match momentum into an on-field advantage, and their almost suffocating defense caused the Ninja Team to attack in chaos.
On the offensive end, Sakuragi Hanamichi still continues the outside feel of the previous game.
"Brush~!!!"
After the opening, he hit consecutive long-range shots.
"Beautiful~!!! Sakuragi Hanamichi again, and three points in the middle of the ground, the fans of the entire Green Coast Arena are cheering for Sakuragi Hanamichi, he is leading the team to the final victory, long live ~ !!!"
The commentator was so excited that his voice was about to break, and the fans had not sat down since the game began, and they had been standing and watching the game, and everyone was unwilling to give up every shot.
"This is a promise I made, this is a man's remaining promise, this is a promise I must fulfill~!!"
Sakuragi said as he took the ball and rushed to the basket again, rushing towards his dream.
