Chapter 108: Sakuragi Hanamichi's Determination to Win (3)
Kobe Jaguar team away to challenge the Tokyo Great White Sharks game has passed the first quarter has passed the halfway point, after the habitual slow heat in the opening, the Jaguar team is gradually finding the state, especially Sakuragi Hanamichi, the offensive end can connect the whole team, the defensive end is also quite hard, this time with Miura Fei one-on-one again to cover the ball again!!
Seeing this, the great white shark also called a timeout helplessly.
After the timeout, Yamashiro just stood at the free throw line and held the ball to make a strategy, the Jaguar team was very good with everyone, there was no too good chance to pass, Yamashiro was also forced hard enough by Simmons, Yamashiro was in a hurry to pass to Miura Fei in the distance, but Miura was near the sideline, it was very difficult to catch this high lob ball, but since the ball had flown over, it was only a try!!
"!! Toot
After receiving the ball in the air, Miura landed carefully enough, but perhaps the sneakers were too big, and he was caught by the referee who was watching closely.
Foot on the sideline out of bounds!!Mistake!!
The Jaguar team serves the sideline ball, and Miyagi dribbles to the front court again!!
Miyagi dribbled the ball and made a "2" gesture.
Seeing this, Akagi immediately rushed up and prepared to do the blocking, it seems that this number "2" should be the tactical term for the Jaguar team's blocking!
Miyagi and Akagi's blocking and demolition is still such a tacit understanding, Miyagi did not kill to the inside line this time, but waited for an opportunity, and passed the ball to Akagi, who cut into the inside line after doing the blocking and dismantling.
Akagi received the ball again during the run this time, and he had already made a three-step basket, so is he going to stage a gorilla slam dunk again!!
Because when Akagi stepped forward to block and dismantle before, Mikami didn't go out, so, when Akagi got the ball back, Mikami was still waiting on the inside, and it may be because he had covered Akagi's shot before, for Akagi's extremely impactful three-step basket, Mikami actually met it head-on!!
Both sides jump in the air at the same time, so the ball is either Akagi's gorilla dunk again, or Mikami's second hat against Akagi!!
"Ah~~!!"
"Ah~~!!"
Both sides are shouting to cheer themselves up, and both want to overwhelm each other in momentum!!The result of Mars hitting the Earth will be announced soon!!
"Smack!!"
Listening to a loud beater, the ball lost control and paused in the air for a while, falling vertically, and the center forwards of both sides also lost their center of gravity after a fierce confrontation in the air, this time it was really like two meteorites falling!!
It should be that Mikami's jump is not as high as Akagi, so Mikami landed first, but fortunately he stood firm, and not long after Mikami stood firm, Akagi made an emergency landing!!
"Ah~~!!"
Just when Akagi just landed, Akagi suddenly felt a pain as if he had stepped on a nail, although this "ah!" was not Akagi shouting loudly, but in an extreme struggle in his heart, but Akagi still quickly supported the ground with both hands and slowly lay on the floor!!
Akagi was so painful that his left hand blocked his face, and his right hand grabbed the pants fiercely, and the force of pulling the pants was so great that he almost broke the pants!!
"How's it going??Akagi??"
"Where's the injury, Akagi??"
Seeing Akagi fall to the ground in pain after landing on the ground, Sakuragi and the team doctor immediately came to him and asked!!
Akagi didn't respond at first, but after a while, Akagi turned around, lay flat on the floor, took off the left hand that was blocking his face, and pointed to the ankle of his right foot!!
At this time, Akagi's face was frighteningly white, especially his lips, which were already white and purple!!The sweat on his body seemed to have been converted into cold sweat!!
Akagi's ankle was injured before, and he was also crooked by stepping on someone else's foot before, so Akagi's ankle is really fragile, and if he gets any more serious injuries, the consequences will be unimaginable!!
The game was also interrupted by Akagi's sudden injury, and the big screen was also repeatedly playing the footage of Akagi landing just now, and everyone was looking for the moment when Akagi was injured.
The picture is slowed down repeatedly.
"Oh~~~"
Suddenly, when the picture gave Akagi the close-up of the ankle mentioned before, there were sudden frightened screams at the scene, and some parents who brought their children to watch the game even blocked their children's glasses, because such a shot was too bloody!!
Looking back at the slow motion, I saw that when Akagi's right foot landed, it happened to be very unfortunate to step on Mikami's foot, and Akagi itself had an impact when he landed, plus Akagi's weight, how could the ankle withstand such gravity, after stepping on Mikami's foot, Akagi's right foot was directly bent, and at that moment, the right foot and right leg were almost 90 degrees!! as if Akagi's ankle was broken off at that moment, and the pain could be felt across the screen!!
I believe that everyone who sees this scene will have goosebumps on their bodies!!
After lying flat on the floor for a while, Akagi was helped up by Sakuragi and Mitsui and helped him to the bottom of the field.
"Papapapa!!!"
Seeing Akagi stand up again, the fans of the Dome Stadium also gave sincere applause to Akagi, everyone does not want anyone to get hurt, and this humanistic spirit is the guarantee of "higher, faster, stronger, sportsmanship."
After coming to the field, looking at the expression of the team doctor, Akagi's injury was not very optimistic, and after exchanging a few words with Coach Ohki, Sakuragi and Mitsui helped Akagi directly back to the locker room.
Akagi should not come back in this game, maybe everyone is not concerned about this game, but about Akagi's health, Akagi is so important to this Jaguar team that almost no one can replace Akagi's position on the field.
"I'll take your place!!"
After returning to the locker room, the team doctor was doing a simple treatment for Akagi, waiting for the ambulance to come, and immediately sent to the hospital for a detailed examination, and at this time, looking at Akagi, whose face was still gloomy, Sakuragi said confidently.
"You kid,,, you talk big,,,"
Akagi looked at Sakuragi and said in a weak voice.
"Don't worry, Akagi, I'm going to win this game!!sure!!"
Sakuragi's resolute gaze also infected Akagi, who paused for a while and said, "Silly boy, hurry back!!"
"Hmm!!"
With that, Sakuragi turned and ran.
"Damn!!"
Akagi is left lying on the bed with his fists clenched, and Akagi may be very depressed at this time!!
Because of Akagi's departure, the Jaguar team had to make urgent adjustments to their tactics, so they called a timeout, which can be regarded as waiting for Sakuragi's return.
There is not much time in the first quarter of the game, and after Sakuragi came back, Daki also directly replaced him off the court, made adjustments, and saved his physical strength, because the next three quarters, for Sakuragi, it will be the biggest dilemma he has encountered so far in his career!!
After the end of the first quarter, the Jaguar team was 18-25 behind, without Akagi, Sakuragi was buffering again, the Jaguar team's interior line was extremely empty, and the Great White Shark was taking what it wanted, so 7 points behind was not much.
"Sakuragi, is it really okay to play center??"
Before the second quarter of the game, Oki was still worried about Sakuragi.
"Isn't it the center, no problem, maybe I'll do better than someone!!"
It seems that for Sakuragi, who likes to challenge, it seems that playing center is really nothing, and looking at history, the more this is the case, the more energetic Sakuragi is!!
The second quarter of the game is about to begin.
The Jaguar team strikes first.
"Come on!!Miyagi, I've rested enough!!"
Miyagi had just dribbled past half court, and I saw Sakuragi leaning on Mikami on the inside to land the ball, and Sakuragi's spirit should really not worry about him!!
Miyagi quickly and smoothly gave the ball to Sakuragi's hands, facing Mikami, who was 11 cm taller than him, and let's see how Sakuragi will attack!!
"Are you okay??Short man!!"
Mikami first provoked with words behind him.
"It's a waste of height for you!!"
Sakuragi shot back.
"What!!You guy, don't look down on people!!"
Sakuragi didn't talk nonsense with Mikami, although Sakuragi's height was at a complete disadvantage, but Sakuragi's strength could really fight with Mikami.
Sure enough, Sakuragi quickly squeezed into a favorable position on the inside line with the advantage of a low center of gravity and a stable lower plate.
"Don't think about !!"
Seeing Sakuragi turn around and want to make a layup, Miyori jumped up.
“Duang!!!!”
