Chapter 762: Sakuragi True Biography - Dominating the Nation in the Arena Chapter
"I'm gone, and when I come back, I'll bring back the national champion~!!"
This is a sentence that Akagi Goken said at home when he was preparing to set off for the national competition in his junior year of high school. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although it didn't work out that time, "dominating the whole country" has always been Akagi's dream.
Now, this dream is about to come true on Akagi's former teammate and former "little brother" Sakuragi Hanamichi.
In the finals between Sakuragi's Fukuyama Flying Wave and Nagoya Ninja Team, the Flying Waves led 3:2, and the championship point match happened to be at the Green Coast Arena.
"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.
The ninjas, who had been trailing throughout the game, had narrowed the score to 7 points 50 seconds before the end.
The suspense of the game seems to be back.
The Waves are in control of the ball, a possession that has a good chance of deciding the final championship.
As long as the Waves can score the ball, the "Golden Basket" should not be able to run.
Here is Fuji Zhen again, with the ball, to the penalty area, in the case of no way out, gave the ball to Slyer, who crossed the bottom line, Slyer's space is also quite limited, before he is about to go out of bounds, he throws the ball for a long time.
Sakuragi got the ball three meters away from the three-point line at a 45-degree angle, and time was running out, and Sakuragi directly shot three-point~!!
"Brush~!!!"
"Whew~~~~~ I did it~!!"
Sakuragi, who lowered his head, pinched his waist with both hands, let out a long sigh of relief, and said in a miraculously relaxed tone.
With 38 seconds left before the end of the game, the Waves led by 10 points, and it seemed that there was only time left in the way of the Waves winning the championship.
Reporters from all walks of life on the periphery of the stadium are already preparing like athletes preparing to start.
Coach Nan called out the last timeout, perhaps, the stubborn old man, wants to keep the "last suspense" for one more second~!!
"Well done, Sakuragi~!!"
"Handsome~!!"
"Haha~!!!I knew you were going to get in~!!"
Sakuragi walked back to the bench slowly, and the teammates who rushed to him were quite excited, but Sakuragi was very calm, still with his head down, and looked thoughtful.
In stark contrast to Sakuragi Hanamichi's calmness is the state of the other members of the Flying Wave team.
They were talking and laughing, they were bouncing and jumping, and it was really hard to hide their excitement.
"Don't foul, don't make mistakes, don't foul, don't make mistakes~!!!"
Coach Moriyama was still shouting loudly, dutifully waking up the players.
Until the moment the whistle blows, Coach Moriyama probably won't relax.
After that, the ninja team's offense hit the iron ~~
"The one who controls the rebounding ball can control the game~!!"
Sakuragi silently recited this wise quote that Akagi taught him and scored his 11th rebound of the game.
There are 30 seconds left.
There are too many 30 seconds in a person's life, but these 30 seconds may be the longest 30 seconds Sakuragi has ever experienced, because after 30 seconds, Sakuragi is about to realize his dream, the dream of a "slam dunk".
Sakuragi clutched the ball, and Tamaki and the others wanted to steal.
Sakuragi transitioned the ball to Fujima, who came to the front court steadily.
The ninjas had given up their resistance, and all five of them stood still, waiting for defeat to come.
Competitive sports are like that, there are wins and there are losses.
"Yay~!!!!"
The cheers of the fans gradually rose, and this time, there was really only time left in front of them.
Sakuragi still had a calm expression, pinching his waist and looking at the timer above the rebound.
"I actually lost to you, I really didn't expect that if there was a next time, I would never lose to you again~!!"
Takano is also quite a gentleman hugging Sakuragi.
"Haha, then I'm really looking forward to it~!!"
Sakuragi replied.
In the finals, these two former enemies turned hostility into friendship and enemies into friends. After all, it is very likely that the two of them will become teammates in the national team in the future.
This may be the charm of basketball.
"Don't give up, you've proven your strength, you're a better point guard than me~!!"
Fujima put down the ball, walked up to Ishii, patted Ishii on the shoulder and said.
Ishii's state was obviously very lost, he lowered his head and didn't reply, just nodded, and tears seemed to flow from the corners of his eyes.
“3,2,1~!!!!”
"Oh~!!!"
"Ah~!!!!!!!!!!"
Sakuragi stretched out his arms, pointed his index finger to the sky, and shouted as hard as he could.
When he saw that the time was finally gone, Sakuragi finally put his mind at ease.
Sakuragi, you can finally enjoy victory.
At that moment, it should be said that it was the pinnacle of Sakuragi Hanamichi's career, although it is possible that Sakuragi will reach that height again in his subsequent career, but, for any person, the "first time" is often the most cherished, the most precious, and the most impressive~~
After that, Sakuragi took over the trophy of the Most Valuable Player of the Finals in the hands of Chairman Hashimoto Ryuichi, and this trophy helped Sakuragi Hanamichi complete the transformation, Sakuragi not only dominated the country, but also came to the "peak" of the league as an individual basketball player.
Sakuragi and Sendo Akira, Faun Kazu and other players came to the same height, a historical level of height.
Sakuragi Hanamichi on the basketball court, will never admit defeat, such a spirit, many people may insist on once, twice, one, two, but when too many tribulations fall on a person, this spirit of "not admitting defeat" will gradually be eroded, until it is hit by reality, accustomed to being obedient, and has no desire.
This is the difference between Sakuragi and others, this boy who was abandoned by his parents, classmates, school, and almost society, found his own value on the basketball court, in order to reflect this value, Sakuragi has been working hard, and finally, after the storm, see the rainbow.
Maybe Sakuragi is right, he is indeed a "genius"~~
