Chapter 110: Good News, Bad News

The Jaguars vs. Jaws came to the second quarter, and with Akagi's unexpected injury leaving the court, Sakuragi replaced Akagi in the center position.

Although Sakuragi's height is at a disadvantage when fighting against the opponent's center Mikami, Sakuragi's strength occupies an absolute advantage, so Sakuragi did not suffer in this group of matchups, but had the upper hand!

And Coach Oki has seen through the fate of Jaws, that is, this team does not have a complete system, which can more or less encourage the players to be disappointed because of Akagi's departure!

But Sakuragi should be the least inspiring, because now he is more confident when facing Mikami!!

It was already on the head of Mikami to pick up two rebounds in a row.

"The rebounds are all mine!!"

It may be that Sakuragi felt something wrong the moment he threw the ball, so the process of Sakuragi's fall was like a spring in energy storage, and as soon as it landed, it was really like a spring, and it jumped up directly!

Sakuragi grabbed the rebound in Mikami's hands for the second time!

This time Sakuragi replaced the layup after landing, but Sakuragi was still facing the encirclement of the three Great White Sharks, and Sakuragi was almost the fastest to throw the ball to wipe the board!!

Sakuragi's hasty wipe of the board and the basket still didn't go in!!

"Mikami!!What are you doing??!! grabbing rebounds!!"

The Great White Shark coach shouted at Mikami.

Maybe Mikami was unsettled because he was grabbed two rebounds on his head by Sakuragi in a row, and after this rebound went down, Mikami didn't react at all, but watched Sakuragi jump up again and pick up the third rebound of this offense!!

After Sakuragi got the rebound, Mikami still didn't have any reaction, standing there stupidly, at this time, Mikami may have been so frightened by Sakuragi's scrambling ability that he couldn't move!!

"Brush!!"

After winning the third rebound, Sakuragi didn't waste another opportunity and once again steadily scored the ball to wipe the board!!

"Ah~~~!!!"

Sakuragi grabbed three rebounds in a row, finally scored the ball and yelled at the audience behind the rebounds!!

"Is this guy a monster??!! God, he grabbed three offensive rebounds in a row, and it was done in the case of 1 to 3, and in the end, he almost robbed Mikami!! Sakuragi Hanamichi !! was so terrifying, I didn't expect that after Akagi left, there was a guy who was even more difficult than Akagi!!"

The narrator also praised Sakuragi's performance.

"The one who controls the rebound is the one who controls the game, that's what you taught me, Akagi, you're watching, the show has just begun!!"

Sakuragi's three consecutive rebounds are completely unleashing his energy!!

"Jaws request for substitution !!"

The head coach of Jaws looked at Mikami, who was already a little absent-minded, and immediately replaced him, Mikami lowered his head, did not pass by the coach at all, and went straight back to the bench, and the whole person looked very low!!

For the rest of the second quarter of the game, the Jaguar team also replaced the substitutes one after another, and the substitution efficiency of the Great White Shark was not very high.

At halftime, at 53:45, the Jaguar team led by 8 points!!

Sakuragi scored a double-double of 11 points and 12 rebounds in the first half!!

After the start of the second half of the game, perhaps because of Akagi's withdrawal, the Great Jaws team had a psychology of wanting to win and being afraid of losing, which made the Great Jaws very impatient on the offensive end, and the Jaguar team also carried out targeted defense against Miura, which made Miura's shooting rate plummet, and the inside gate of the Great White Shark, Mikami General Taro still failed to come out of Sakuragi's frenzied play in the first half, not only did the rebounds continue to be blown up by Sakuragi, but the offense was useless!!

The Jaguar team maintained a difference of about 10 points until the end, and in the end, the Jaguar team, which lost Akagi, defeated the Great White Shark away and won two consecutive victories in the opening game!!

Sakuragi Hanamichi was named the best player of the game, Sakuragi cut 20 points and 18 rebounds in the whole game, after the team lost Akagi, Sakuragi took the initiative to stand up and became the team's new inside gate, especially the wonderful performance of grabbing three rebounds in a row, which can be called the best goal of the game!!

This is also Sakuragi's third season, and after losing his teammates one after another, Sakuragi ushered in a small outburst, I believe that as he said, the show has just begun!!

"How's Akagi!??"

After returning to the locker room after the game, Sakuragi asked Coach Ohki before he could sit down.

"It's not very clear, the hospital hasn't given a reply yet, after all, it's so late, there are some equipment in the hospital that shouldn't be used, and the specific situation should wait for a detailed examination tomorrow before the results can be obtained!"

Coach Ohki said.

"Oh, by the way, if you want to see Akagi, let's do it tomorrow, tomorrow is the night flight, and you will be given a free holiday during the day, so don't go tonight, so let Akagi have a good rest!!"

Oki added.

"But, but ,,,"

Sakuragi slurred what he wanted to say.

"Don't worry, I will definitely get the news of the victory, everyone hurry back to the hotel to rest!!You played well tonight, and if you deserve such a victory, Akagi will definitely have no problem!!"

After Coach Oki finished speaking, the players changed their clothes one after another and prepared to leave, although they won, but the players did not have the slightest pleasure of winning, and everyone's hearts should be thinking about Akagi lying in the hospital.

"This kid will take advantage of my absence, hum, it's not bad!!"

Akagi, who was lying in the hospital, learned the details of the match and said, apparently, Akagi was praising Sakuragi.

"How are you feeling right now?"

The team doctor asked.

"Oh, it doesn't hurt that much, but I still feel like it's a bit hard to move!!"

"Everything is still unknown, and everything will have to wait until tomorrow's expert consultation to get results, so you have to be confident!!Akagi!!"

"That's for sure, I'm definitely going to be back on the field, how can I let that idiot steal my show!!"

"Eh~!!"

Although Akagi didn't see any frustration, the team doctor let out a long sigh after looking at the X-rays.

"Akagi,,, must come back!!"

Sakuragi, who is lying on the bed, is also praying for Akagi, and this "Ergi" combination is always noisy on the surface, but it's really inseparable from anyone!!

The next morning, the Tokyo National Medical University Hospital was already overcrowded, and most of the people here were not looking for a doctor, but waiting for a special patient!!

In the consultation room, the experts discussed Akagi's condition in detail, and Coach Ohki and Sakuragi and other team members also came to the hospital early, and everyone was extremely worried about Akagi.

After the consultation, the experts first talked to the team doctor, and then the team doctor told Daki about the situation.

"Hello, you're the head coach of Akagi Goken!!"

"Hello, I am, how's Akagi doing??"

The expert called Coach Oki to the house alone.

"There's good news and bad news for his situation now!I wonder which one you want to hear??"

"Well, good news first!!"

"The good news is that the place where Akagi was injured this time is not the place where he had old injuries before, and we have also done some knowledge of Akagi's previous injuries, if he hurts the old place again this time, it will end his career!!"

"Is it so serious??!!

Regarding the good news said by the experts, Coach Ohki didn't seem to show a hint of a smile.

"Of course, I've seen too many sports injuries like this, and there are many athletes who have been injured in one place many times before they have no choice but to retire!!"

"Where's the bad news!!"

Coach Oki also asked uneasily.

"The bad news is that this time Akagi has a new injury, and this one. Much more serious than expected!!"

"yes,,, what kind of injury is that!!"

"Come with me!!"

The specialist then took Oki to the X-ray table.
