Chapter 1095: The Continuation of the Will of the Slam Dunk Master - Rukawa Kaede (I)
Six years ago, Mitsui Shou chose to retire due to injury due to safety concerns due to the sequelae of concussion.
At that time, Mitsui passed on his will as a "slam dunk" to Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Sakuragi was also very competitive, and in the following season, he followed the Fukuyama Flying Waves team to win the championship, and he also won the Most Valuable Player of the Finals.
Five years have passed, and the most valuable player of the finals that year, Sakuragi Hanamichi, like Mitsui in the past, is now facing the regretful situation of retiring at the age of injury due to injury.
Although Sakuragi struggled for a while, under the persuasion of Sugi and a group of friends, Sakuragi was unwilling, but still gave up the comeback plan.
Sakuragi also passed on the will of the slam dunk master to Akagi Gangken and Rukawa Kaede.
Now, Rukawa Kaede and Akagi have once again led the Kobe Jaguar team led by the Xiangbei Five Tigers to attack the championship.
The will of the slam dunk master will never be extinguished, it's just that who will inherit it~~
And because of the return of Rukawa Kaede and Akagi, the Kobe Jaguar team has once again become the main theme of the city~~
The Jaguar team also repays the fans here with very good results, although the situation in Nakaliwan is still a hidden danger, but with the rapid growth of Fujima Cheri and McTianna, the Jaguar team is talented enough~~
In the first 15 rounds of the regular season, the Jaguar team has a 12-3 record, which is the same as the record of the defending champion Tokyo Jaws.
The Jaguar team ushered in this 16th round at home against the visiting Tokyo Great White Shark.
A battle for the top spot began.
Before the game, Rukawa Kaede was still greeting his old teammate Takano Thunder in the opposing team, and the two of them were talking and laughing, and they seemed to be very happy, after all, these two people did not have any festivals, and they won the double championship together, and the memories of the two people were all good~~
However, in comparison, Zhongliwan and his old teammates here do not seem to be so close. Zhongliwan just sat on the sidelines listening to music, eating bananas, waiting for the game to start, maybe peeking at the original armor wolf who was shooting to warm up, but he would never come forward to say hello~~
I believe that Zhongliwan will also perform well in this game and prove himself in front of his "predecessor~~".
"This game, you must win, even if it is dedicated to that big idiot, you must win~!!"
Rukawa Kaede said with a sworn look before the game, and it can be seen that Rukawa Kaede has accumulated a lot of energy.
The Jaguars' starting lineup is still one backcourt with Fujima Tetsuri, the three frontcourts are Rukawa Kaede, Nakariwan and McTianaka, and the center is Akagi Goken.
Although this lineup does not have a real shooting guard, there is really no shortage of scorers.
"Scoring Machine" in Riwan, "Three-point Shot" Cheri, and Rukawa Kaede who doesn't need to be praised anymore, and they still have Abe Tatsune sitting off the court, and the Jaguar team's lineup is indeed luxurious.
And the starters on the Great White Sharks' side, the two backcourts are Nakasawa Nagaken and Miura Fei, the two frontcourts are the original Armored Wolf and Takano Thunder, and the center forward Chisato Watanabe.
The lineup of great white sharks is much more traditional, and their tacit understanding may be better~~
"I'm looking forward to such a moment against you, I've been waiting for a year~!!"
The original armored wolf said to Rukawa Kaede beside him.
"yes, then come on, let me see if you have any moisture as a champion~!??"
Rukawa Kaede replied.
These two teams are indeed inextricably linked.
As he spoke, the game began.
"Woo~!!!!"
With a whistling sound from Akagi, the ball reached the Jaguar half.
It can be seen that Akagi is more motivated after receiving the will of Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Cheri dribbled to the frontcourt.
This season, Cheri's progress is also very obvious~~
Three-point shooting percentage has improved to 43.8 percent from 39.1 percent last season, which is already a considerable number.
And Cheri's defense is still improving, which is the most commendable, and the return of Rukawa Kaede and Akagi doesn't seem to have any impact on this squinting brother.
Here, Cheri still gave the ball to Rukawa Kaede.
It can be seen that Rukawa Kaede's desire to win in this game is extremely strong, not only because the opponent is the defending champion, but also because of Sakuragi Hanamichi.
While talking, the Jaguar team here started tactics, Cheri gave the ball to Rukawa Kaede, and Mike made a no-ball cover, the former ran back in the cover and came to the top of the arc~~
Seeing this, Rukawa Kaede directly passed the ball over~~
After Cheri received the ball, although Nakazawa, who was defending himself, had already run out of Mike's cover immediately, Cheri still shot quite confidently.
It's still a push-shot type.,It's still a very fast shot speed.,It's still ~~.
"Brush~!!"
It's still a steady hollow hit.
Cheri opened fire as soon as he came up.
And it's an assist from Rukawa Kaede.
This tactic is already a very regular tactic for the Jaguar team this season.
And Rukawa Kaede is also very happy to assist his teammates to score.
In the first 15 rounds of this season, Kaede Rukawa has averaged 22.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game. The score hit a new career low, but the assist was a career high, which is enough to see how Rukawa Kaede completed the transformation~~
"Bell~!!"
Here, the original armored wolf wanted to pull a ball in front of Rukawa Kaede, wanting to prove himself, but he was a little in a hurry, and the ball came out.
"Smack~~~"
Akagi stuck in the most powerful position and grabbed the rebound.
After Akagi landed, he gave the ball directly to Rukawa Kaede, and the reason why it was not given to Cheri was because Rukawa Kaede also had a wide field of vision and the ability to handle the ball.
Sure enough, while speaking, Rukawa Kaede aimed at the front court, directly like throwing a discus, and threw the ball to the front court with one hand.
The ball surpassed the five Great White Sharks in the air one after another, came to the front, and came to the hands of the fast Zhongliwan.
Nakaliwan, who has been running for a long time, has already saved up enough strength, and after successfully catching the ball, he jumped directly with his left foot on the ground~!!
“Duang~!!!!”
Zhongliwan glided towards the basket like a walk in the air, and it was directly a two-handed windmill heavy buckle that was almost flat-framed~~~
"Yay~!!!!!"
The pump center boiled for a moment.
When people know about Zhongliwan's "scoring machine", many times, they ignore his other identity - the big windmill slam dunk.
Rukawa Kaede is also using such a pass, towards Nakaliman himself, towards the team, to prove that we can coexist.
It was this scenario that had often occurred in the previous 15 rounds, and the Jaguar team also temporarily shelved the trade plan for Zhongliwan.
Nakaliban also complains about his lack of possession from time to time, but he is no longer as repulsive as he was before the start of the season.
The two assists in the opening game were all sent by Kaede Rukawa, which proves that Kaede Rukawa may be the real point guard of the Jaguar team.
"Smack~!!"
While speaking, Mike, who has not yet performed here, also opened, and Miura forcibly entered the inner line and was covered by Mike head-on~~
Rukawa Kaede accepted the rebound, and saw that the retreat of the great white shark seemed to only want to cut off his passing route~~
"Hmph~~"
“Duang~!!!”10
