Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Wind Rises and the Water Rises, Sakuragi Flower Road!

The Jaguars began their third consecutive road trip with a big win over the Nagoya Ninjas, starting with a challenge to defending champion Kagoshima Antlers.

At the beginning of the game, the Jaguar team played very aggressively, especially the sophomore Sakuragi Hanamichi, who not only shot the first goal for the team, but also completed a shocking dunk against defender Akiyama Jiyasu in the subsequent attack, showing Sakuragi's amazing physical fitness.

"Let's watch the replay again, oh my God, look! No. 6 Sakuragi Hanamichi actually jumped two steps in front of the free throw line, and if it was a little higher, it would probably ride over Akiyama's head!! It's really no joke!!It's been a long time since I've seen such a slam dunk against the sky!"

The on-site commentary watched the replay on the big screen again and again, and was amazed.

"Sakuragi's smash is very similar to the 2000 Olympics when Scarter blocked the French center Wisner's ball! This ball will not only be the top ten goals of today, but it is very likely to be the top ten goals of the season! This is only the second round!!"

Another narration says.

"I thought that Jaguar only had one Rukawa Kaede and Akagi to focus on, but I didn't expect that there would be a god like No. 6, forgive me for not watching the Jaguar team much last season! But this season the Jaguar team seems to be going to do something!"

The two commentators commented on Sakuragi's ball for a long time.

And the field also needs to cool down, after all, the scene just now is too hot!

The Antlers team also replaced Akiyama, who was overturned by Sakuragi before, judging from his expression, Akiyama couldn't wait to disappear immediately, this ball was really too humiliating, and it seemed that he was not lightly hit, and he covered his chest with his hands.

"It's okay to say that the physical injury is okay, but I'm afraid that this ball will leave a psychological shadow on Akiyama after that, this is the biggest damage to a player, far worse than the real injury!!"

Antlers coach Yoshioka also recognized this and analyzed it correctly.

Sakuragi prepares free throws.

"Bell!"

Probably too excited, Sakuragi's free throw was hard and hit the front line. No penalty scored.

Mu took the rebound and saw who on the Antlers' side could step up and take the lead for the team.

Nobunaga organized an attack and found Ah Shen on the outside, and Rukawa Kaede, who was defending Ah Shen, was blocked by Ah Mu, and Ah Shen got a rare vacancy!

A god who received the ball made a three-point shot near the baseline!

"Brush!"

Three-point mid-range! For a player like Ah Shen, this kind of vacancy is as easy as a layup! The Jaguar team paid such a price for a slight negligence in defense.

"Very good, it seems that the team has not been affected by the previous slam dunk, and the tactical execution is still good!

Coach Yoshioka trusts his team.

"Miyagi, stay and continue to give me the ball, I'm going to beat Uncle Amu!"

Sakuragi whispered in Miyagi's ear when he returned to defense, it seems that the two goals, especially the previous slam dunk, gave Sakuragi a lot of confidence.

Sure enough, when it came to the half-court attack, Miyagi gave Sakuragi, who ran to the free throw line to catch the ball.

"You can't stop me, uncle!"

Sakuragi looked at Amu quite confidently and said.

"Oh, don't be too arrogant, be careful to get out of the scene!"

Sakuragi is also an old opponent of Amu, and he knows that Sakuragi always likes to foul, so he uses this as an introduction to provoke Sakuragi.

"Cut! Let you see the arrogant capital of this genius!"

Saying that, Sakuragi squats and prepares to shoot, but the previous words have already made it clear to tell the opponent what he is going to do next!

Seeing this, Amu immediately stepped forward and prepared to cover Sakuragi.

Sakuragi has already jumped, and sure enough, it's a shot!

Amu's prediction was correct, and it was normal, Sakuragi's preparation was too obvious, as if he was making a free throw.

The two jumped at the same time, even if Sakuragi's jump shot jumped high, it was difficult not to be disturbed by Amu, and in the face of a top defensive player like Amu, in the case of jumping at the same time, it was very likely to be directly blocked!

"Hmph, fooled, uncle!"

"What!!"

Sakuragi naturally lifted the basketball from his chest to exert force, and every move was a shooting action, and Amu was also convinced, but when Sakuragi's ball was lifted to the highest point, Sakuragi's words made Amu feel bad!

Sure enough, Sakuragi suddenly brought the ball that was about to be thrown to his waist again, at this time Sakuragi's body had begun to decline, and so did Amu, Sakuragi passed the ball out covertly at the moment when he just got it to his waist, Amu really pounced this time, watching the ball fly under his armpit.

"Leave it to me!!"

Sakuragi's ball passed to Mitsui, who was empty and cut, and after winning the ball, Mitsui continued to kill inside, and Akagi was very good at containing so that Watanabe could not protect the basket again, and Mitsui scored a layup smoothly!

Mitsui also scored his first goal of the game, and most of the credit for this goal should be attributed to Sakuragi's head.

"Good ball, Sakuragi, beautiful pass!!"

"Hahaha, that's of course, get a pass from this genius, benefit!"

Praised by Mitsui, Sakuragi didn't pretend to be cool this time, and became proud of it.

"I didn't expect Sakuragi Hanamichi to pass such a ball, it was still under the defense of Amu, I didn't see him perform like this last season!

Coach Yoshioka was obviously not fully prepared for Sakuragi's all-round performance, but he didn't call a timeout, just stood up and shouted a few times at the players on the field, Yoshioka chose to believe in his teammates, after all, this is a team that has won a championship, and they are all players who have experienced big scenes. It can be conditioned very quickly.

Kiyota dribbles past half court and organizes the offense.

Maybe Ah Shen just shot a three-pointer, so Kiyota was looking for an opportunity to give Ah Shen, but this time the Jaguar team's defense was very tight, and Ah Shen never got rid of it.

Seeing this, Kiyota directly chose to lower the center of gravity and break through to the inside line, Miyagi chose to let Kiyota break through, because Miyagi knew that someone would definitely come to make up for the defense on the inside line!

"Cut, let me break through! You'll regret it!"

Kiyota rushed to the basket, but because the center of gravity was too low when he broke through Miyagi, Kiyota chose a throw!

"It's you who should regret it!!Wild monkey!!"

"Smack!"

Sure enough, as Miyagi expected, Kiyota just hit the basket and completed the throw, but because Kiyota's shot point was not very high, although it was a throw, Jaguar's Sakuragi still caught up, and when the ball was rising, he directly fanned the ball out of the bottom line, giving Kiyota a loud hot pot.

"Well done, Sakuragi, I knew you were going to be there!!"

"Haha, of course, I'm a genius!!"

It seems that the tacit understanding between Miyagi and Sakuragi is getting higher and higher!

The antlers served the bottom line ball, and Qing Tian must have lost face because of the previous cover, so this ball Qing Tian received the ball from the bottom line and directly chose a mid-distance shot!

"Bell!"

Due to Miyagi's interference, the mid-shot failed to score.

"Qingtian is indeed still a little immature, there is still a lot to learn in handling the ball, take your time, after all, he has only played for one year, and in the antlers team, there are so many experienced big brothers, I believe that Qingtian's growth will be very fast!!"

When the commentator analyzed Kiyota, Akagi on Jaguar's side took the rebound and handed it to Miyagi, it seemed that he was going to fight back again!

Miyagi dribbled to the left side of the court closer to the basket, and the antlers' return defense was still very fast, but this time Jaguar's Akagi, Mitsui, and Rukawa Kaede all ran to the other side, leaving only Sakuragi and Miyagi on the left, so that a local two-on-two was formed!

Miyagi and Sakuragi made eye contact. The two started to block and dismantle, this time Sakuragi chose to go down, although Amu judged Sakuragi's intentions, but Miyagi passed the ball out at the first time when the blocking and demolition occurred, and the ball was passed very cleverly, just past Amu's interception, and led Sakuragi to the three-second zone.

After winning the ball, Sakuragi increased his speed again, and it seemed that Sakuragi was going to bomb the basket again this time.

“kuang!!”

This time, Sakuragi didn't dribble after winning the ball, and jumped directly with a one-handed slam dunk!!Although Ah Shen rushed over, he was probably afraid of becoming Sakuragi's knife ghost and avoided Sakuragi's slam dunk!!

"Ah!!!!h

This time Sakuragi was not silent anymore, but shouted to vent, this is the second violent dunk of Sakuragi since the opening, and if you dunk a few more balls like this, it is very likely that the basket will be broken!!

"Wow!! oh my God, this No. 6 has once again staged a good show of flying and slamming, if you look closely, it seems that Sakuragi Hanamichi's head is almost level with the basket!!!

"Yes, I heard that this Sakuragi Hanamichi is still a player who has been seriously injured, so I can't see it at all!!"

"It's probably related to the fact that he went to the United States for a long time to do rehabilitation!!"

The two commentators discussed Sakuragi again, indeed, Sakuragi's performance since the opening was too eye-catching, two violent dunks, and assists, and the game was booming!

"Haruko, see it, I'm no worse than Rukawa Kaede, this is just the beginning!!"

It seems that it was the previous events of Haruko that triggered Sakuragi's desire to fight, and Sakuragi is now extremely eager to show himself.

"Oops!!Antlers request timeout!!"

Coach Yoshioka really needs to rearrange Sakuragi in this way, otherwise I don't know how many balls Sakuragi will dunk.
