The third round of the JBA regular season has arrived, and the highlight of this round is to welcome back Akagi's Kobe Jaguar team to challenge the defending champion Fukuyama Flying Waves at home.

Swift, the big forward of the Flying Waves, was suspended due to injury, and the team's morale was a little low.

On the other hand, the Jaguar team is in high spirits, and Akagi's return has given the team more confidence to beat the defending champions.

This was true after the opening, and the Jaguar team took a 12-2 lead with three military lives.

The only 2 points the Waves scored were also scored by Fujima's free throws.

After Coach Moriyama called a timeout, the Flying Waves' offense was still struggling.

Kiki's throw is once again blocked by a Akagi-style block.

Miyagi got the rebound and launched a fast attack directly, Rukawa Kaede and Mitsui rushed over from both sides, and the Jaguar team's fast attack surged over like a tide!!

Miyagi slows down and prepares to pass.

Because Mitsui had already shot three points before, the Feilang team didn't dare to be careless, and Fujiwara chased hard and came to Mitsui's side.

Seeing this, Miyagi passed the ball without looking at people, and gave the ball to Rukawa Kaede, who had just run to the bottom corner three-point line!!

"Whew~~"

After Kaede Rukawa received the ball, he adjusted his breathing, as if he was training, undefended!!

After aiming at the frame, Rukawa Kaede made a three-point shot!!

"Brush~~!!"

Three-point shot.

"Yay~~!!"

The cheers at the pump center were high and high, and everyone almost stood to watch the game, because the Jaguar team's attack was so fierce!!

15:2！！

This is a start that no one guessed, and the Flying Waves have been beaten to the ground!! I can't believe that the team in front of me with only 2 points is the champion last year!!

The Jaguars' starting five Tigers all scored, and the offensive end was fully open.

"The current state of this Jaguar team will make every opponent fearful!! There are not many games for the Jaguar team to be broadcast, but you can't deny that this is a force to be reckoned with, just a few years ago, the Kobe Jaguar team was still a team that was about to find sponsors, but with the addition of Akagi, Rukawa Kaede and others, the team has a good chemistry, and the strength is increasing day by day, even if there was no Akagi last year, the Jaguar team still made the playoffs, although it was regrettable in the first round, but it also created considerable trouble for the ninja team!! “

"yes!! And I heard that the goal set by the Jaguar team this season is to hit the championship!! We thought it was a joke or a smoke bomb for the media, but after a few minutes of play, the Jaguar team is really qualified to say that!! ”

The two commentators from NHK TV station discussed.

Team Jaguar's performance has won more recognition!!

29:12。

By the end of the first quarter, the Jaguars had a 17-point lead.

25:26，30:26，24:32。

In the next three quarters of the game, the Jaguar team has been suppressing the Flying Waves, and the Flying Waves only saved some scores in the garbage time of the last quarter.

In the end, the Jaguar team defeated the defending champion Fukuyama Feilang 108-96 at home, and won three consecutive victories in the opening game!!

"Brother~~ Great !!"

After the game, Haruko said to Akagi in the audience not far from the venue.

Akagi gave Haruko a thumbs up, and then hugged Ki Twilight and the others goodbye.

"I'm sure you're 100% recovered!! Akagi. ”

Twilight said to Akagi.

"Hmmm! But it's still far from being in good shape!! ”

Akagi responded.

"You're always so humble!! Akagi, I've already won the championship!! Next, it's up to you!! ”

"Don't worry, how can I be pulled away by you!!"

"Haha~~"

The two best friends had a great conversation, and in a tight season, there was only time to catch up with old friends after the races!!

Akagi played 20 minutes and 33 seconds in the comeback battle, contributing 12 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 blocks, which is a satisfactory answer.

After all, this is an abnormal Flying Wave team, and there are still many strong teams in the whole league, so when the time comes, Akagi needs to stand up!!

The JBA regular season is in full swing, and the annual All-Star Game is also being prepared in an orderly manner.

This year's All-Star Game will be held in Sendai, and the venue is the home of the Sendai Wanderers.

All-Star player voting and registration for each individual event have been launched.

"Sakuragi, won't you participate in the slam dunk contest this year??"

The Jaguar team's training had just ended, and the team members came to the bathroom to take a shower, Miyagi asked curiously.

"Who knows!!"

Sakuragi only cared about bathing and showering, and replied perfunctorily.

"Hey!! Sakuragi! It's your own business, how could you not know it!! ”

Miyagi splashed water on Sakuragi's face and reminded.

"Ahem~ahem~,,, what are you doing!! Miyagi!! I'm just hesitating!! ”

Sakuragi was choked by Miyagi and coughed.

"What are you waiting for!! You should take back what you lost, such a simple thing, that's all!! We already missed such an opportunity last year!! Don't miss it again this year!! ”

It seems that judging from the incident of whether Sakuragi participated in the slam dunk contest or not, last year it was Miyagi who seemed to be more active than the parties, and this year is also the same.

"But, but ,,,,"

Judging from Sakuragi's reply, Sakuragi must have been worried about something.

"But what is it~~"

Miyagi was very anxious to see Sakuragi like this.

"But I'm afraid of getting hurt!! You know, we finally waited for Akagi to return and welcome the strongest squad in the team, and Coach Ohki had already set the goal of hitting the championship before the start of the season, I really don't want to take that risk!! ”

Sakuragi saw Miyagi's repeated questioning and said what he really thought in his heart.

"The two don't conflict!! With your ability, you can win the championship casually!! The Slam Dunk Contest is dangerous, but the game is still there!! Right!! ”

Miyagi still tried his best to persuade Sakuragi.

"Besides, in my heart anyway, the championship is greater than any other honor!! And I vowed to bring a championship to the city of Kobe!! ”

Sakuragi said with an oath.

Sakuragi's mind once again resurfaced the images after Haruko rejected him, walking on the street in confusion, first followed by a small number of fans, then a group, and finally the whole road!! And Sakuragi's passionate speech.

Since then, Sakuragi seems to be a different person, and there is only one thought in his mind - the championship!!

Sakuragi quickly washed up and went to the locker room, wiping his hair with a towel.

"Eh~~! I don't seem to have seen Shanqi much recently, and I don't know if the injury is better!! ”

Sitting in a chair, Sakuragi thought.

If Sakuragi's mind nowadays, in addition to the idea of the championship, there is also a team cheer baby I met not long ago - Sugi Minasin.

The JBA regular season continues, game after game, and the players' time is spent on the game and on the road.

Time has come to the middle of the schedule, this time period is the time of the All-Star Game, and then the players ushered in a rare leisure time!!

"Sakuragi~~!! Sakuragi~!! What a good thing!! Hahaha!! ”

Sakuragi suddenly received a call from Kawaguchi, and from Kawaguchi's tone, you can hear that it is good news!!

"The voting results for the starting list of the All-Star Game just came out!! Kobe Jaguar Hanamichi Sakuragi, starting power forward!! Hahaha!! ”
