After the Sapporo All-Star Season, the JBA League regular season has come to the second half, which is also a key moment to sprint to the playoffs.

In this case, it was not easy for the Jaguar team to retain the fifth place, but fortunately, they welcomed an old acquaintance - Rukawa Kaede.

After finishing the domestic league for CSKA and the Champions League, Kaede Rukawa agreed to Jaguar's request to return to the team.

After returning to Japan, Rukawa Kaede joined the team's training non-stop.

Rukawa Kaede's sturdy body attracted everyone's amazement, and the elegant Rukawa Kaede back then had become a powerful muscular man.

After a few days of training, Rukawa Kaede followed the team to Hokkaido to challenge the lavender team.

"Brush!!"

As soon as the words fell, Rukawa Kaede turned around and hit a small hook hand, hollow hit.

"Oh my God, is Rukawa Kaede starting to exert his strength!! This is simply a crushing attack, not talking about any routine at all, it is a complete suppression of strength!!

"What's the matter, Guan Gu, next time I change the defense, if you talk about strength, I really haven't been afraid of anyone!!"

The person who said this was none other than the lavender small forward Yanagita Amano, don't look at Amano's slender figure, he is also a fierce general in defense, especially the long arms like an octopus!!

"Bell!!"

In the second half, Lavender's outside shooting percentage decreased, and Sekiya's three-pointer ended in iron.

Rukawa Kaede rushed to grab the rebound, didn't hand it over to Miyagi, and smashed it to the frontcourt.

"I'll !!"

As soon as Rukawa Kaede arrived at the three-point line, Amano rushed over, very imposing!!

"Hmph."

Rukawa Kaede despised it and directly fought with his back again.

"Oh~~ Is this guy ,,, a monster??"

After Amano was pushed by Rukawa Kaede's back, he was shocked by the strength of the first time, and he could only retreat and defend at the border!!

Rukawa Kaede seemed to be fighting against a college student, and there was no resistance at all, and Amano was almost knocked away by Rukawa Kaede, and his long arms were almost like ornaments.

“Duang！！！”

Rukawa Kaede took the overlord step and killed it directly, carrying Amano away, and slammed the one-arm wheel buckle!!

After Kaede Rukawa scored this goal, he folded his arms and showed off his biceps like a bodybuilder!! Domineering side leak!!

"Oh my God, what kind of strength Rukawa Kaede has reached, judging from these two goals, the defenders seem to be two notches behind Rukawa Kaede's strength!! There's no power to resist at all!! ”

The narrator looked at Rukawa Kaede in shock, Rukawa Kaede at this time, like a warrior from the future, invulnerable!!

"Damn,,, I knew that Rukawa Kaede would be like this when he came back,,, eh,,,"

The Jaguar team was all amazed by Rukawa Kaede's amazing performance, and only Sakuragi was angry.

Lavender organized an attack again, and the point guard Nakahara Qujiang used his speed to get rid of Miyagi and kill inside!!

The Jaguar team's inside rotation is a little chaotic, and Nakahara has already gone straight to the basket!!

"Smack!!"

Just when Nakahara wanted to complete a board-wiping layup, Rukawa Kaede flew up from behind and gave a volleyball-style block to Nakahara!!

The ball hit the rebound hard and bounced far away.

Sakuragi came from behind to pick up the rebound.

"It's Rukawa Kaede again!! I really didn't expect this ball to be Rukawa Kaede rushing over to block it, it seems that after Rukawa Kaede's body became stronger, it didn't affect the bounce at all, which is really commendable!! ”

Commentary and analysis, it seems that the Jaguar team took the lead in the third quarter of the game!!

Sakuragi grabbed the rebound and gave it to Miyagi, and the Jaguars once again played their best defensive counterattack!!

Miyagi advanced very quickly, and after observing it, it was distributed to Simmons, who followed up to the 45-degree three-point line, and Simmons took the ball and shot!!

"Bell Bell !!"

Three points brushed out of the frame, and the luck was a little worse.

"And me!!"

After the ball collapsed out of the frame, it didn't bounce far, and Lavender's big forward Kuwabara Shaopeng also stood in the rebounding position, how could he ,,,,

How could Rukawa Kaede, who rushed over, jump higher, and Rukawa Kaede, who was standing behind Kuwabara, rose from the ground, and was two heads higher than Kuwabara in the air, and the huge body impact pushed Kuwabara out of the bottom line like a crusher.

After Kaede Rukawa took off the rebound with both hands, he directly carried Kuwabara and poured the ball into the basket before it fell!!

“Duang！！！”

The ball poured heavily into it, Rukawa Kaede still hung his hands on the basket, and Kuwabara was about to fall in the press area. In a dilemma.

"Oh my God,,, God,,, what kind of physical fitness is this Rukawa Kaede, what kind of training has he received in Europe!! This kind of physical strength is difficult for even the players on the inside to parry, and every attack is almost crushed like a tank!! It's horrible!! ”

The commentary has been stunned, and has been impressed by the amazing power of Rukawa Kaede!!

"Dut!! Lavender asks for a pause!! ”

After the start of the second half, Rukawa Kaede's sudden outburst made Lavender a little difficult to parry.

After the pause, it is indeed difficult for Lavender to restrain Rukawa Kaede, and besides, the Jaguar team still has a player who has been holding back for a long time.

"Miyagi, you're making the same mistake again!!"

Before going on the field, Sakuragi hugged Miyagi and whispered.

"What ??!!"

"It's always passed on to that guy!! And me!! Give me the ball and I can still score!! ”

It turns out that Sakuragi is brainwashing Miyagi again, but fortunately Sakuragi is not playing point guard, if Sakuragi is allowed to play point guard, I'm afraid Rukawa Kaede won't be able to catch the ball for the whole game!!

Maybe he wanted Rukawa Kaede to retain some physical strength, Coach Oki used this timeout to replace Rukawa Kaede off the field, after all, this is Rukawa Kaede's first game after his return, and it is still mainly to adjust the state, besides, judging from the current situation, the Jaguar team seems to be able to win the game even without Rukawa Kaede.

Sure enough, Mitsui, who replaced Rukawa Kaede, found his form, and in the rest of the third quarter, he hit consecutive three-pointers from the outside, gradually expanding the score.

At 82:68, the Jaguars led by 14 points heading into the fourth quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the Jaguars were still in control of the situation on the court, and Rukawa Kaede didn't play much, this time Sakuragi found an opportunity to perform, because he was more behind, Lavender shot frequently outside, but there was no guarantee of hit rate, so Sakuragi received one rebound after another.

"Whoever controls the rebounds controls the whole court!!"

Sakuragi shouted to get the 14th rebound of the game, and the game gradually lost its suspense.

In the end, Rukawa Kaede's return battle ended in a big victory, Rukawa Kaede only played 23 minutes and 48 seconds, he cut 18 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks, the data does not reflect Rukawa Kaede's dominance on the court, only those who have watched the game with their own eyes can feel Rukawa Kaede's powerful aura, and that suffocating power!!

After the victory over Lavender, the Jaguar team also secured the fifth place.

The Jaguar team also seems to have passed the transition period of losing Akagi, and they are making their way to the playoffs!!

"Yay~~!!"

In the penultimate round of the regular season, after the Jaguar team defeated the Sado Island Koei team at home, everyone cheered as if they had won the championship!!

"Playoffs!! Here we go!!! ”

Listen to the shouts of the live DJ and you will know why everyone is so excited.

With only one round left in the regular season, the Jaguar team was two wins ahead of the sixth-place Osaka Iron Horse, completely locked the fifth place, successfully entered the playoffs, and completed the pre-season goal of "protecting six and fighting for four".

"Haha, Coach Ohki, what's the matter, I didn't let you lose your job!!"

After the game, Sakuragi teased Coach Ohki in the locker room.

"Hmph, stinky boy, I have to thank you for being been!!"

Coach Oki also relaxed a little and said with a smile.

"Captain!! You saw it!! Haha, we did it, we finally made it to the playoffs, haha!! ”

Sakuragi, who was excited, called Akagi again and shared the joy.

"Stupid, don't rejoice too soon, the playoffs are another level of competition, prepare well!!"

Although Akagi was reminding Sakuragi at this time, he was very sad in his heart, how much Akagi hoped that after waking up, he could put on his shirt and compete in the playoffs with his brothers.
