Chapter 621: Sakuragi VS Rukawa Kaede, the "Third Showdown" of the Fateful Duel
One of the highlights of the 11th round of the 2013-2014 JBA regular season is being played out at the Sony Center in Mito. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The two most talked-about players in the league in previous seasons, Hanamichi Sakuragi and Kaede Rukawa, led their respective teams to meet.
Everyone wants to see if Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede will stage a wonderful show of "the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road" on the field.
After the start of the game, Rukawa Kaede was very satisfying to the audience, and took the initiative to find Sakuragi Hanamichi one after another in the hope of staging a "showdown".
However, Sakuragi either passes the ball or doesn't catch the ball at all, and seems to want to avoid Rukawa Kaede.
In other words, Sakuragi didn't want to compete with Rukawa Kaede at all.
Sakuragi's strategy also worked, the Flying Waves team still used group attacks, and the electronic team fell into a solo mode.
So in terms of score, the Feilang team also took a big lead.
Here, the Flying Waves team quickly attacked again, and it was Sakuragi Hanamichi holding the ball again, and Rukawa Kaede was defending alone.
"Sakuragi, a ball in return~!!"
Looking at Sakuragi, who was looking for his teammates with the ball, Mitsui also began to get anxious.
Maybe Sakuragi received Mitsui's wish, and Sakuragi finally began to dribble in front of Rukawa Kaede~~
"What~????!!!!!!"
Just when Rukawa Kaede saw Sakuragi start to dribble and was about to step back to prevent it from breaking through, Rukawa Kaede looked at Sakuragi, who suddenly seemed to be a rocket, in surprise, and rose from the ground.
"What~??!! jumper from the three-point line on the spot ~??!!"
Coach Yushiba looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi, who had already jumped, and said in surprise.
Sakuragi's three-point action from jumping to shooting, to a complete shot, Rukawa Kaede has never reacted, just looking at it like this~~
"You want to knock me down~??"
Sakuragi said as he looked at the ball flying towards the basket.
"Brush~!!"
"Give up, big idiot~~"
This Rukawa Kaede's most classic "mantra" was said by Sakuragi Hanamichi, but it has some other flavors.
And with Sakuragi's taunt, the three-point shot went into the net crisply, very, very crisply.
This goal is like the first three-point shot made by Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede in the "Champion Battle", which was very sudden, but Sakuragi Hanamichi was very confident.
A confident blow gave Sakuragi Hanamichi a big lead.
Sakuragi's side is already very strong.
Rukawa Kaede has to respond this time, if Rukawa Kaede still can't score, then this is a precursor to the failure of the "duel".
"Beautiful~~!! Sakuragi, well done~!!"
Mitsui was also so excited that he stood up, waved his fist, and shouted for Sakuragi.
"Come, this way~!!"
It seems that Rukawa Kaede is really forced to be in a hurry, and he is directly asking for the ball from Mori Shigekuan, who is preparing to serve the bottom line.
Rukawa Kaede came to the front court with the ball, and Sakuragi was also very "cooperative" here, taking the initiative to switch defenses with Simmons.
Sakuragi grabbed the pants in his hand, bent his waist, and stared very intently at Rukawa Kaede's every move.
"Yay~!!!"
"Papapa~!!!"
The fans at the scene also cheered and applauded for Rukawa Kaede.
The two men faced each other at the top of the three-point line, and the other teammates stood separately near the baseline.
It seems that the competition has turned into the third "showdown" between Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi.
This kind of game trend is also what fans are looking forward to the most~!!
Rukawa Kaede slowly dribbled the ball, and at the same time, the center of gravity also slowly lowered, slowly lowered~~
"Are you coming~??"
Sakuragi saw that Rukawa Kaede's center of gravity had dropped a lot, so he judged.
Sure enough, just as Sakuragi said, Rukawa Kaede activated.
I saw Rukawa Kaede holding the ball in his right hand, lowering his center of gravity very low and very low, and his body quickly turned sideways to the right, which seemed to be either a feint or a very crisp breakthrough~~
Sakuragi because of the prevention of Rukawa Kaede's sudden shot, so the previous post was relatively close, this time Rukawa Kaede accelerated, Sakuragi's position was almost the same as Rukawa Kaede.
Rukawa Kaede's speed of lowering the center of gravity was still very fast, and he came to a position close to the free throw line in a few big steps.
"This rhythm is not right~!!"
Sakuragi stuck to Rukawa Kaede and seemed to feel strange, because Rukawa Kaede's steps were too big, and it didn't seem like a deep breakthrough.
"Sure enough, it's this trick~!!"
Just when Sakuragi was suspicious, I saw Rukawa Kaede directly make a sudden stop, holding the ball firmly with both hands, and then jumping up directly.
Sakuragi's prediction was correct, and Rukawa Kaede made a very uncommon "breakthrough stop-and-go jump shot"~!!
In fact, this move was one of the conventional weapons in the early stage of Rukawa Kaede's career, and even in high school.
Because at that time, Rukawa Kaede's physical confrontation ability was not so strong, and he was always "taken care of" by his opponent.
Therefore, if you want to get rid of the defense and complete the shot, you must use a lot of technical tricks.
For example, the step-back jumper, such as the current pull-up jumper.
But Rukawa Kaede knows that this trick is very physically demanding, and the hit rate is actually not very stable, although it is very ornamental and chic, but it is indeed impractical.
But now Rukawa Kaede has made this move, and it seems that he also wants to change his current bad feeling by "seeking change".
Back on the field, Rukawa Kaede jumped up in a swooping posture against inertia, and it was very high, like a run-up jump~~
If it was another defender, he would only be able to watch Rukawa Kaede shoot, but Sakuragi Hanamichi knew Rukawa Kaede too well, so he reacted very quickly, very quickly, and jumped almost at the same time as Rukawa Kaede.
Sakuragi followed Rukawa Kaede like a homing missile.
But Rukawa Kaede jumped really too high~~too high~~too high~!!
And the shot point is also very high, in order to prevent the sealing of Sakuragi Hanamichi, Rukawa Kaede also deliberately played a "small stagnation" in the air to play a time difference.
"Ahh!!!h
Sakuragi is trying his best to stretch out his long arm to touch Rukawa Kaede's shot.
Rukawa Kaede's shot point and Sakuragi's fingertip point are almost at the same level.
Even if the calm Rukawa Kaede was so heavily guarded, he looked at the basket very intently and made a thrilling shot.
Judging from the strength of the ball and the feeling of spinning, it seems that it was not too affected by Sakuragi Hanamichi's blocking.
The audience at the scene was already suffocated, and they seemed to feel as if they were watching the last ball of the draw between the two teams in the seventh game of the finals.
The heart mentions the throat and the eyes, and the smaller ones are about to come out~!!
"Brush~!!"
But with this crisp sound of entering the network, the pleasant sound came~~~
"Yay~!!!!!!!!!!!"
It was as if the Sony Center had really won the "Golden Basket".
Rukawa Kaede withstood the pressure, carried Sakuragi Hanamichi's good enough defense, carried the previous "right and wrong", and completed the "response" on Sakuragi Hanamichi's head.
The third showdown of "rivals" seems to have really begun.
Sakuragi Hanamichi lowered his head at first, as if he was a little lost, after all, his defense had been done to the extreme.
If it were other players, it might have been directly blocked by Sakuragi.
However, shortly after trotting to the front, Sakuragi suddenly raised his head and showed a very "satisfied" smile.
This kind of smile appeared on Sakuragi Hanamichi's face at this time, which was quite incomprehensible.
"Haha, that's interesting~~"
