Chapter 486: The Last Dignity of the Defending Champion
Sakuragi Hanamichi was the first person to get the "Golden Basket" among the Five Tigers of Xiangbei that year, if you don't count Mu Dusk. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, after winning the championship and realizing the dream of high school, Sakuragi seems to have become desireless, although he no longer treats the game negatively, but he always feels that he lacks such a "gas".
But in this case, the party Sakuragi Hanamichi didn't feel it at all, and after a long time, he became numb.
Fortunately, at this time, the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" - Mitsui Shou appeared, Mitsui's words, although it did not let Sakuragi find the next target, but at least it allowed Sakuragi Hanamichi to know how to face the present, which aroused Sakuragi Hanamichi's long-lost bloody fighting spirit.
I don't know if Sakuragi will help the team with this fighting spirit, at least win the next game first.
As he spoke, the third game between the Flying Waves and the Antlers, which was also Fukuyama's first home game and the Antlers' first match point, had already begun.
"Yay~!!"
With a burst of cheers from the fans in the stadium, Watanabe Takasatoto jumped to the ball.
Fujima dribbles and comes to the frontcourt.
"With Fujima, the team's cooperation, the team's cooperation, should be better than before~!!"
Coach Moriyama looked at Fujima, who was dribbling and directing his teammates, and said.
Here, Fujima handed the ball to Sakuragi, who faced Amu and motioned for everyone to pull away.
"Hmph, this kid, as soon as you come up, you want to use the momentum of the home field to beat me alone, just kidding~!!"
Ah Mu walked on his horse and thought silently in his heart.
I saw that Sakuragi was dribbling outside the three-point line, fully opening up the space, ready to play single~!!
"Are you coming~??!!"
Amu watched Sakuragi's pace as he began to move forward, and judged.
Sakuragi dribbled the ball with his right hand and increased his speed, as if he wanted to force his way inside against Amu's defense.
"Do you want to come hard~?! What the~??!! ”
Ah Mu exclaimed as he retreated.
I saw that Sakuragi suddenly passed Amu.
This situation appeared too quickly, just now Sakuragi was still preparing to break through on the right side of Amu, but in an instant, as if teleported, he suddenly came to Amu's left side, the completely undefended left side.
Sakuragi's movements were quite consistent, and a soft small right-handed toss threw the ball before Antlers center Kuboto blocked it.
"Brush~!!"
The ball is a steady hollow into the net~!!
"Yay~!!!!"
The cheers of the Green Coast Arena rang out instantly.
As soon as Sakuragi came up, he singled out Amu and succeeded~!!
"It's difficult~Is it a European step~?!"
Mitsui may be the most calm person in the audience.
Although when I was a teammate before, I saw Sakuragi use European steps, and he was more proficient in using it, but it seems that he hasn't seen it for a long time, and Sakuragi himself hasn't used it for a long time~!!
In any kind of offensive means, only skilled European steps can complete the instantaneous lateral transfer of the body.
"European step~?? Hmph, this guy has always created surprises for people, and he forgot that he still has this trick~~ What an interesting opponent~!! ”
Ah Mu didn't think so, and his mentality was still relatively relaxed.
"It doesn't matter if he dreams or not, I just want to win~!!"
After Sakuragi scored, he was also very excited, and while returning to the defense, he hammered his chest and muttered in his heart.
"Haha, seeing Sakuragi regain his passion, I also miss this arena a little~!!"
Mitsui also sighed.
Sure enough, as Ah Mu said, taking advantage of the lively atmosphere after the opening, coupled with the successful singles, the entire Green Coast Arena was boiling.
"Defense~!!"
"Defense~!!"
"Defense~!!"
The sound of fans shouting "defend" resounded throughout the stadium.
The Antlers seem to be feeling a little bit of pressure for the first time in this series.
"Bell~!!!"
Under this sudden pressure, Amu's shooting also began to fluctuate, but this ball, Sakuragi did defend quite well.
"My ~!!"
Sakuragi shouted. Playing the classic brain grip again, Kubodo had already occupied a good position, but Sakuragi, who rushed up and jumped higher, won the rebound.
"Ah~!!! My Sakuragi~!! Yes~!!! Handsome~!!!! ”
Natsume began to play nymphomaniac again.
However, the Flying Waves did not slow down here, and after Sakuragi gave the ball to Fujima, Fujima went to the front like a sports car in the final sprint.
"Oh~!!!"
With the screams of the audience, Fuji Zhen directly staged the signature action "roller coaster" again, and directly passed Ah Shen.
Fujima went all the way down, hit the inside line, chaired guard Akiyama Jiyasu, and directly made a left-handed wipe layup.
"Click, brush~!!"
The ball hits steadily.
Fuji Zhen used a "Fuji Zhen style" dragon to make a layup and announce to everyone that the strongest Fuji Zhen is back.
Led by Sakuragi, the Flying Waves finally showed some momentum of the defending champions after the opening, and don't forget, they were the defending champions, they were the team at the top of the league, and at that time, these players were also the players.
"They are the defending champions, they don't want to be swept out, they defend the last dignity ~ !!"
The commentary is also passionate.
"Toot ~ !!"
Coach Kuroso Yoshioka saw that the situation was not good, and immediately called a timeout, although the first quarter of the game was only 1 minute and 50 seconds.
Perhaps it was the "Black Eight Miracle" that made Coach Yoshioka more cautious in any situation.
Even if they can't sell tickets at home, they want to finish the series in Fukuyama as soon as possible, after all, their opponents are the defending champions.
However, looking at the expressions of Amu and others, it is still relatively relaxed, after all, the game has just begun, and the Feilang team is only 4 points ahead, two goals.
Sure enough, after the pause came back, the Antlers' offense began to improve, and they used their cooperation to slowly tear open the hole of the Flying Waves.
"Bell Bell Bell Bell ~ Brush ~!!"
"Brush~!!"
"Click~Brush~!!"
The Antlers' successive attacks, the ball was scored at the end of 24 seconds, and such a goal was indeed quite a blow to the confidence of the defense.
The Antlers regained their sense and found their rhythm of the game.
The two sides look to be back on the same page again.
This kind of matchup is what people predicted before the start of the series, and this is the most understandable and best-watching set of matchups in the first round.
Again, it's hard for you to imagine that one of these two teams will stop in the semi-finals, which is really a pity.
At the end of the half, the two sides were tied at 51:50.
The Waves were just one point ahead.
"Bang Bang Bang ~ !!!"
Although there was no big lead, the fans still used warm applause to see off the players.
In the second half of the game, it is time to decide the final winner.
"Everyone did a good job, through the first half of the game, we can find that we have the quality to defeat the opponent, everyone must believe this, just like last year's finals~!!"
In the locker room at halftime, Coach Moriyama began to instill chicken soup for the soul in everyone again.
"Coach, don't worry, just the Antlers, how can it be our opponent, this is only the first round~!! Our goal is to defend the title~!! “
Sakuragi Hanamichi also said such a morale-boosting language that had not been seen for a long time. (To be continued.) )
