Chapter 310: Sakuragi Hanamichi's Dream Journey
The Jaguar team, who traded Sakuragi Hanamichi away, ushered in the penultimate round of the regular season, and they faced the Nagoya Ninja team in second place. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This game Takano Thunder is a truce for unknown reasons. Takano's absence was quite a blow to the ninjas.
Not only did Takano Ishii's blocking and pick-and-roll tactics become unusable, but the rebounding ball also became uncompetitive.
On the Jaguar team's side, there are three military lives, especially Rukawa Kaede, who is in very good shape.
After the opening, he scored consecutive points, assists, rebounds, and scores, leading the team to play a wave of 8:0 offensive.
In the first half, the Jaguar team completely controlled the situation on the field, and the score was always in the lead.
The ninja team without Takano does have too many tactics, and it is difficult to resist Rukawa Kaede, who is in good shape, just by relying on the play of a few small ones on the outside.
At halftime, the Jaguars led 54-42.
Rukawa Kaede has already scored 16 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists in the half.
Perhaps only Kaede Rukawa's all-round performance can make fans forget Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Perhaps only Rukawa Kaede's ruling performance can truly "surpass the immortal road~~!!"
"May I ask Coach Minami, is there any injury to Takano Thunder~??"
At the end of the break, the reporter asked about the head coach of the ninja team.
"You seem to have asked the wrong person about this, the team doctor should know better than me~!!"
The old man replied wittily.
"But as the head coach of the team, don't you know anything about it~??"
The reporter asked.
"Yes, as you can see, I really don't know, my status in the team is very low, that's it~!!"
The old man continued to answer wittily, then turned around and walked towards the players' tunnel.
Although the score on the field was behind, Coach Minami seemed to be in a good mood.
Based on the performance of the first half and Coach Minami's nonchalant answer, it seems that the ninja team did not care much about the victory of this game.
After the start of the second half, the Jaguar team was still in control of the situation on the field, especially the advantage of the interior was extremely obvious.
"Xishan's foreign aid is far away~!!"
"I didn't hit, but Swift was going to get into a better position and grabbed this rebound~!"
"I didn't hit the rebound~~, I grabbed the rebound again, and I made the rebound again~~ I still didn't hit it~!! and grabbed the rebound in the chaos ~!!"
Swift also showed his physical talent, constantly scrambling for rebounds, as if he saw the Sakuragi Hanamichi who had been tireless on this court again.
“duang~!!!”
Finally, Swift's third rebound ended with a domineering two-handed dunk.
Before it was Akagi's turn to make a move, the inside line of the ninja team had already been beaten into a stopper.
With only a 34-year-old veteran, Ojed, it is almost impossible to prop up the inside line.
In addition, the outside feel of the ninja team is not too hot.
The Jaguar team extended their advantage until the end.
Overall, I thought it was a game where Mars hit the Earth, but it turned out to be quite weird, and the ninja team seemed to end the game in a ghostly way.
After the victory, the Jaguar team improved to 18-12 and moved up to fourth place.
Cemented his playoff spot.
The ninja team that lost the game has a record of 20 wins and 10 losses, and the second place position is still relatively safe.
The 30th round of the trade with Jaguar, Sakuragi Hanamichi's new club, Fukuyama Flying Waves, will take place tomorrow night, and they will take on the Hokkaido Lavender, who almost missed the playoffs.
At that time, the two new signings Sakuragi Hanamichi and Slaer will also make their debut for the new team. (Due to medical examinations and procedures and other related issues, Sakuragi and Slyer missed the previous two games, but they have been training with the team)
Team Flying Waves came to Hokkaido three days before the tournament.
Everyone is training on the field at the "Lavender House".
"How does it feel, Sakuragi~??"
The head coach of the team, Hiroo Moriyama, walked up to Sakuragi, who was bandaging his ankle, and asked.
"Fortunately, the temperature here in Hokkaido is indeed much colder than Fukuyama~!!The temperature difference is still quite large~!!"
Sakuragi said as he wrapped his bandages.
"Pay more attention to keeping warm, if you feel cold, you can find the team security department, there are some necessary thermal protective gear~!!"
Hiroo Moriyama said as he patted Sakuragi on the shoulder.
"Got it, thank you coach~!!"
Sakuragi looked up and said with a smile.
In fact, for Sakuragi, the new coach Hiroo Moriyama, compared with Coach Oki, the former is an absolute harsh management of the army.
Strict team discipline, high requirements and high standards of daily training, as well as a unified tactical thinking, make Coach Moriyama leave the impression of an "iron fist" coach.
However, in private, Moriyama is still relatively affinity, and for a newcomer like Sakuragi, he has to give some warmth, so that he can integrate into the new environment and the big family faster.
I just don't know if Sakuragi's uncontrollable temper can conflict with Moriyama's "iron fist".
As for Sakuragi Hanamichi, it has been half a month since he came to the new team, and he has also analyzed before that in this new wave team, Sakuragi Hanamichi is not very "lonely".
There's Simmons, his former teammate Simmons, his high school rival Kenji Fujima, and Sley Kento who also crossed paths with Hanamichi Sakuragi in the draft, and if Konobu doesn't leave the team, it's a reunion of old friends.
Therefore, it is not an unfamiliar environment for Sakuragi Hanamichi, and perhaps it is relatively unfamiliar: the tactical play of the new team.
At this point, the Flying Waves team has been working hard to train the team's skills and tactics in peacetime, as well as cultivating the tacit understanding of the "new trident".
"Then Fujima you get here~~"
"Sakuragi, you go to a high position~~"
"Jianren, find a chance to quickly cut in the air~!!"
After each team training, Moriyama will take the "Trident" for special tactical training, although the playoffs are about to begin, and the team's run-in has not yet been completed.
Soon the day passed, and Sakuragi Hanamichi's Flying Wave debut was about to take place.
If the game had been at the home of the Waves, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Slaer would have received a considerable welcome, but in freezing Hokkaido, only the announcer's cold voice would have been heard.
"No. 1, shooting guard, Slyer Kento~!!"
Kento opted for the No. 1 jersey, which was also his previous number on the Iron Horses.
"No. 6, big forward, Sakuragi Hanamichi ~~~"
Sakuragi trotted out of the players' tunnel.
Sakuragi also chose the No. 6 from his previous time with the Jaguar team, and it is rumored that Sakuragi wants to change back to the No. 10 jersey he had in high school, perhaps because the number "10" was printed on the Waves' blue away jersey.
Perhaps, number 10 is only suitable for red jerseys.
Looking at Sakuragi Hanamichi, who is gearing up, it seems to be ready.
During the period of transfer turmoil, Sakuragi seemed to be away from basketball and was too swayed by those rights and wrongs.
Tonight's match was a truly fresh start for Sakuragi, who seemed to be eager to play based on his exuberant appearance, and perhaps Sakuragi had put the regret he left for Kobe on Fukuyama. Let those who look down on themselves like that regret it, anyway, Sakuragi has come this way.
Sakuragi's journey to pursue his dreams is about to start again. (To be continued.) )
