Chapter 167: Sakura-Lingering!? (Part II)

In the 2009-2010 season, the first round of the JBA playoffs was only the Kobe Jaguar team and the Nagoya ninja team.

The two sides were 2:1 before, and the Jaguar team got the match point, as long as the Jaguar team won the fourth game, they could complete their revenge.

The fourth battle between the two sides has come to the final quarter, the first three quarters of the two sides are quite fierce, although the first half of the fourth quarter Ninja once established a 12-point lead, but Rukawa Kaede's super performance forced the score to equalize the score 3 minutes before the end of the game.

After that, the two teams scored against each other.

One minute before the final game, the two sides were tied at 90.

The Jaguars had an important possession.

Rukawa Kaede came to the inside line with the help of Akagi's block, but Takano was very clever and stood in front of Rukawa Kaede in advance, ready to make a foul.

Rukawa Kaede saw that Takano was already standing there steadily, and if he forcibly bumped into it, it was likely to be his own offensive foul, so Rukawa Kaede immediately slowed down and looked for his teammates around him.

But after all, Kaede Rukawa's breakthrough speed is too fast, and he can only distinguish his teammates by the color of his jersey, so it's hard to see who it is!!

So

Kaede Rukawa's pass finally came to Sakuragi Hanamichi at the three-point line in the bottom corner.

Rukawa Kaede turned out to be passed on to Sakuragi Hanamichi!!

If this scene hadn't happened, no one would have thought that Rukawa Kaede would connect with Sakuragi, whether Rukawa Kaede did it intentionally or unintentionally, Sakura, Liulian, really happened like this!!

"Hurry~!!Pounce on it!!Hurry~~"

Coach Minami couldn't wait to run up to defend Sakuragi Hanamichi.

At this time, Sakuragi, who suddenly received a pass from his sworn enemy, was stunned.

"The stinky fox actually passed the ball to me, I wouldn't be dreaming~~, how could I be in this position,,, this is not my offensive area~~ The place with paint is my area~~ This is not my area~~!"

Sakuragi held the ball and meditated with a blank expression.

Fortunately, the Jaguar team still has a lot of time to attack this time, otherwise, this attack would have ended in Sakuragi's meditation.

"Stupid!! cast quickly~~!!"

Looking at Sakuragi, who had no reaction after receiving the ball, Rukawa Kaede was also rarely anxious.

At this time, in Sakuragi's point of view, it was a different scene, and he couldn't hear any sound, he didn't feel anything. The movements of everyone else on the field are all in slow motion, all abstract.

"What is this guy Sakuragi thinking??!! if you hesitate any longer, the time will really come~~!!"

Miyagi looked at Sakuragi in a daze, and was so anxious that he wanted to grab the ball quickly.

"This guy doesn't have three-point ability, haha, cowardly~~!!"

Sakuragi finally listened to a sentence, a mockery from the audience behind Sakuragi.

"Who do you say??!!

Sakuragi finally came back to his senses by this taunt, aimed at the basket again, and threw the ball!!

"It's gone~~!!"

However, as soon as the ball was thrown, many people, including the commentators, had already decided that the ball could not be scored.

Indeed, because of Sakuragi's hesitation, the rhythm of shooting was completely lost.

The ball is crooked.

"Bell~!"

As expected, hesitation made Sakuragi miss the opportunity to lock the win, and I don't know how much Sakuragi and his Jaguar team will come back at a price.

"Sakuragi missed all 3 three-point shots in this game, even if he doesn't hesitate, it's hard to score~~!!"

The narrator analyzes it from another angle.

Because Sakuragi's shot was crooked, it collapsed quite far, and Ishii judged the right landing point and accepted the rebound.

"Hurry back to defense~~, hurry!!"

Oki roared and reminded the players that Oki saw that Ishii had rushed over with the ball!!

Ishii's actions are always so unexpected, and when everyone thought that Ishii would call a timeout to play what could be the last attack of the ninja team of the game, Ishii accelerated to the frontcourt.

This move really caught the Jaguar team off guard.

Ishii was advancing quickly, and the fastest way for the Jaguar team to return was Miyagi, but Miyagi had retreated to the inside to prevent Ishii from advancing into the penalty area.

Ishii didn't start the offense at the first time, and after getting inside the three-point line, Ishii began to slow down, turned around, and watched his teammates follow up.

But this side of the ninja team only Takeuchi is the fastest to follow.

As soon as Takeuai's front foot reached the three-point line, Ishii passed the ball back to Takeuchi's hand.

After Takeuchi received the ball, he directly took advantage of the situation and made a three-point shot~~!!

"What~~!!, at such a critical moment, at the moment of fast break, solved the battle with a simple three-point shot??!!"

The commentary is also a little skeptical about Takeuchi and Ishii's handling of the ball this time.

But this is the style of the ninja team, as long as there is any opportunity, no matter what the situation, it will choose to shoot three-pointers, this is a three-point team, this is a long-range team!!

"Bell, bell~~"

Pop up the box!!

Takenei's three-pointer bounced off the frame!!Jaguar escaped, but the rebound was ,,,

Takano rushed to the basket very alertly and rushed directly to grab the offensive rebound!!

The Ninjas get the ball again!!

"Toot ~~ The ninja team asks for a timeout!!"

This time, Coach Minami had to call a timeout, and Takano grabbed this rebound, which was considered a chance given to the ninja team.

There are 28.2 seconds left in the clock.

90 draws for both sides.

Once again, the ninjas had a full 24 seconds of attacking time, and everything seemed to be on the ninjas' side.

"Play as far inside as possible, play the success rate, it's best not to shoot outside, don't make mistakes, don't give the Jaguar team a chance to play fast break!!"

Coach Nan was very excited to explain to the coach.

However, for the Jaguar team, it is not that there is no chance at all, as long as they can defend the ball again, the Jaguar team still has 5 or 6 seconds, which is enough to attack.

Pause back.

Ishii dribbled the ball and consumed time very calmly.

In the last 7 seconds, Ishii started!!

Gao Ye came up to do the blocking, and the blocking and demolition tactics of the two should be the most stable and effective in the ninja team.

The Jaguars, for their part, didn't dare to make too many defensive moves because the foul count had arrived.

Ishii smoothly distributed the ball to Shunshimi Takano.

Takano took the ball and hit Sakuragi directly with his back.

"Swear to the death~~!!"

Sakuragi seems to have shaken off the sense of loss of missing three points before and poured all his strength into defending Takano.

Time is running out,,,

Both sides tried their best, but in fact, there were not many solutions left,,,

Takano pushed to the basket, picked up the ball, and made a shooting feint, and Sakuragi actually jumped!!

This was an obvious feint, but Sakuragi, who was too nervous, seemed to be unable to control his body at all, and almost subconsciously made a movement and jumped.

"Stupid~~!!"

Akagi's eyes widened as he watched Sakuragi ride onto Takano.

"Toot ~~~"

In the end, it's still a foul.

Sakuragi's foul in the final moments left the Jaguars' defense in deficit.

"Yay~~~!!"

The home of the ninja team has already begun to cheer, and it seems that the victory of the game is already in the bag.

"It's okay, Sakuragi, we still have a chance!!"

Every time it comes to this time, it is Miyagi who comes to comfort Sakuragi for the first time.

"I'm dragging everyone back again!!"

Sakuragi recalls the last two offensive and defensive attempts, with a three-pointer missed in a big open space and a last-minute mistake on the defensive end.

"Don't care about that, it's okay, we still have a chance, believe in yourself!!"

Miyagi patted Sakuragi's shoulder and smiled to convey confidence and energy to Sakuragi!!

"Brush~~!"

"Brush~~!"

Takano hit two of the most crucial free throws of the game.

92:90。

With 6.2 seconds left in the race, the Jaguars had their last chance. (To be continued.) )
