Chapter 19: A stunning debut

"Look carefully, look at the people you are going to play against at that time, every attack, every defense, you have to look carefully, the secret of defeating this Jaguar team is in it. ”

The head coach of the Antlers, Kuroso Yoshioka, played video footage of the Jaguars' first three games in the screening room, and the players watched intently as if they were watching a mystery movie.

The Antlers arrived in Kobe two days before the match day, and as a team that has also won three in a row, the Antlers did not dare to take their opponents lightly.

"Coach, the opponent's Sakuragi Hanamichi in this game should be a comeback from the ban, ,,, for him" After watching the video, the star of the antlers, Mu Shenyi, asked the coach, because when the time comes, it is very likely that the person who is opposite Sakuragi will be Mu Shenyi.

"Sakuragi,,, it's true that we've been banned for three games so we can't find information about him, what should I say, I've heard about him and Rukawa Kaede before, and it seems to be a draw, but!I always feel that Sakuragi is not the biggest threat to us!" Coach Yoshioka didn't seem to take Sakuragi seriously.

"Okay," seeing that Coach Yoshioka was so relieved, Amu didn't say anything more here.

"The Antlers can be said to be the top team in the league, the situation in their team is relatively similar to ours, there are many former alumni, I heard that you seemed to be a county in high school, Akagi you should know it very well!" Jaguar also studied the Antlers, after all, this is the strongest opponent the team has encountered since the new season.

"Well! Now this antlers team, almost transplanted from Hainan, nicknamed "Amu" Mu Shenyi, and nicknamed "A God" Shen Tadaichiro, both entered the league in the same year as me, the addition of these two quickly made the team from the previous weak team to a strong team, this year there is a list of eyes, Kiyota Nobunaga joined, the Hainan Trident of the year is reunited. Akagi analyzed it for a long time.

"That little monkey !!" Sakuragi heard Kiyota's name and remembered the scene of the draft meeting.

"Okay, let's go to the screening room and we'll take a look at the footage of these three games for the Antlers. "Coach Oki and Coach Yoshioka of Antlers both focus on video. The race is getting closer.

Finally, the focus battle of Jaguar vs. Antlers is about to begin.

In fact, this is the second home game of the new season for Jaguar, but in terms of the atmosphere in the stadium before the game, including the intensity of media publicity, it seems to be the opening game of the home stadium.

"Sakuragi!" a gentle voice called out to Sakuragi, who was already warming up, from the sidelines.

Sakuragi looked back, but the stadium was already seated one after another, and it was difficult to determine the location of the sound in the somewhat chaotic scene.

But Sakuragi is sure of one thing: this voice belongs to Haruko.

"Here!!Sakuragi" Sakuragi's ears are really sensitive, it is indeed Haruko, Haruko saw that Sakuragi didn't find herself, so she beckoned.

"Hey!!" Sakuragi saw Haruko waving her hand, and ran over excitedly like a child who had just learned to run.

"Long time no see, Sakuragi!"

"Yes, yes, haha, I didn't expect Haruko to really come to see my game, I'm so touched,,,,Haruko !!" Sakuragi remembered the text message Haruko had sent to herself that night.

"Of course, it's finally unbanned, and this is the first match of Sakuragi's career, which means a lot!"

"Haruko!!" Sakuragi was moved by Haruko's words and cried bitterly.

"So, I made a special application to cover this game!" Haruko's words made Sakuragi react, and Haruko also had the identity of a reporter. Looking at Haruko's work card on her chest, Sakuragi remembered her chance encounter with Haruko at the draft and smirked.

"By the way, Sakuragi, I'll have an interview with you later, you have to be ready!" Hearing that Haruko was going to interview herself, she was even more excited.

"Okay! Guaranteed to complete the mission!hahaha!" Sakuragi blossomed.

"Stinky fox, take a look, Haruko has already interviewed me, hahaha!!I don't pay attention to you anymore!"

"Stupid, still chatting here, hurry up and warm up. Akagi came over and tried to drag Sakuragi away.

"Brother, why don't you be interviewed too!" Haruko also invited her brother.

"This gorilla, it's really incomprehensible, people are chatting hotly, but they just came over to make trouble!" Sakuragi thought to himself, hating Akagi very much at the moment.

"Well, well, hurry up!" Akagi accepted.

"Damn, I said that I had a one-on-one interview with Haruko, !!! it's gone,,," Sakuragi choked with depression in his heart.

The entire interview was occupied by Akagi's speech, and Sakuragi seemed to be there as his attendant.

After the interview, Akagi left satisfied, leaving only Sakuragi's aggrieved back.

"Okay, Sakuragi, I'll interview you again when I have the chance!" Haruko comforted Sakuragi when she saw that she was a little depressed.

"Haha, how can I be depressed because I didn't speak, no, no,,, look at it, Haruko, I, Sakuragi, want to surprise everyone and make a stunning debut!" Sakuragi, who was always full of energy in front of Haruko, walked back to the court after speaking.

"Sakuragi! Come on!" Haruko cheered for Sakuragi again.

"Ah Shen, Rukawa Kaede will be handed over to you, you must cut off his connection with Akagi, and Nobunaga, control the rhythm and try to put the ball in the hands of Ah Mu, Ah Mu's opponent is the rookie who has just come back from the ban, and this point is a weak point. "Coach Yoshioka has finally deployed his tactics, and the game is about to begin.

"Hit out what you're training for, stick to the tactics of starting from the inside first, and don't be afraid of your opponents. Coach Ohki also finally advised.

"Sakuragi, this is your first game, they know the least about you, although you have fought before, but I believe that in their eyes, you are still the same you you were a few years ago, and now you are something they can't imagine!"

"Coach,,, don't worry, antlers??hmph!Break him today!" Sakuragi's confidence was unprecedentedly high when he heard Ohki's words.

"Whether the antlers overturn the leopard, or the leopard captures the deer, the focus of this round is about to begin!" The TV narrator at the scene was also ready.

The lights are getting dim and the players are about to take the stage.

The DJ began to introduce the players: "No. 7, point guard, Miyagi Ryota~~~~!!!14, small forward." Mitsui Shou~~!!No. 4, Captain, Center!Akagi Tsuyoshi~~!!No. 1, Champion Hide!Scoring Guard, Rukawa Kaede~~~!!"After the DJ introduced each player, the cheers on the scene could not be described as deafening.

What about Sakuragi? Maybe Sakuragi himself wondered, saying that it was the first starter!

"Let's welcome the following one with the most fervent cheers, No. 6! Overseas draft player, power forward!!Sakura~Wood~Flower~Road~!!, who made his first appearance for Jaguar and was also the first game of his career" DJ didn't let such suspense last long, and Sakuragi, who appeared last, seemed to be the most grand!

"Sakuragi, you've really played, you've really become a professional player, and the fans are welcoming you! You must come on~!Sakuragi!" Seeing this scene, Haruko couldn't help but shed tears and was happy for Sakuragi.

"Okay, let's have a big fight! I'm finally going to play!!" Sakuragi was so adrenaline pumped when he saw the fans welcoming him so well!

"321, Jaguar!"

The competition has officially begun.

"It's been a long time, the red hair is gone, I almost don't recognize you, hairy monkey!" Nobunaga took the initiative to find Sakuragi.

"Little monkey, you don't seem to have grown any taller!" Sakuragi said, measuring his height.

"Damn, you're growing too fast!" Nobunaga was a little annoyed.

Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi haven't seen these opponents in high school for many years, and before kickoff, Ah Mu and others took the initiative to step forward and greeted Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi for a while.

Salute first, then soldiers, and the real battle begins immediately.

Akagi and antlers center Takasato Watanabe prepares to jump the ball.

The Antlers got the ball first and were ready to launch the first attack of the game.

Although Nobunaga is nominally a shooting guard, the Antlers' offense, most of the time the ball is in his hands, and the team's nominal point guard, Jiyasu Akiyama, is an outside shooter.

The Antlers' offense was not in a hurry, it should be said that it was a little scattered, and there was not much interspersed cooperation between the players, and it may have been shocked by the huge "defensive" sound shouted from the crowd at Jaguar's home stadium. Seeing that it was about to be 24 seconds up, Nobunaga made a hasty move, and three did not stick!

The players who had just come up with the antlers seemed to be out of shape, and they prevented the first goal, which greatly boosted Jaguar's morale. Coach Yoshioka, who was standing on the sidelines, shook his head, a little dissatisfied with the team's performance.

After Miyagi dribbled over half the court, he directly blocked and dismantled with Akagi, and after dismantling, Akagi ran to the inside line, although Miyagi was delayed for a while, but the ball was still passed, after Akagi got the ball, he saw that the supplementary defense had arrived, and it was very likely to hit people with the ball again, so he chose an irregular action to throw the ball.

β€œduang!β€œ Hit the basket!

Ah Mu has been preparing under the basket for a long time, just when he was about to take the rebound with both hands, a long arm stretched out, although this hand could not control the ball, but it still rose rapidly, the first to point to the ball, A Mu did not succeed in winning the rebound.

"The rebound is mine!" Amu was fully prepared to jump and take off the rebound after landing on the ground.

"Dream! Look at my genius's second dunk!" Sakuragi, the man with the long arm, Sakuragi landed after Amu landed, but the powerful speed allowed Sakuragi to rise into the air again and catch the ball before Amu, and dunk the ball into the basket with one hand.

After a wonderful point to grab a rebound, Sakuragi scored the first goal of his career very smoothly!

Sakuragi's goal was like a lore, and the whole audience was boiling!

"Haha, I see, uncle!" Sakuragi said proudly.

"It's just the beginning!" Ah Mu was quite calm.

The antlers offense was unhurried again, and the ball passed back and forth but still didn't get too good chances. Ah Mu was forced into a dead corner and passed the ball fiercely at the moment when he was about to go out of bounds.

"Mine!" Miyagi predicted quite accurately, interrupting the ball in the air, and Jaguar played a fast attack.

After being transported to the frontcourt, Miyagi went straight to the basket and prepared for a three-step layup. Nobunaga returned to the defense in time to prepare to jump off Miyagi's layup, after Miyagi's three-step basket stepped out of the last step, his wrist flicked, and the ball was passed to Sakuragi's hand who followed up, fortunately, Nobunaga didn't eat Miyagi's feints, or stood under the basket, Sakuragi was ready to fly after getting the ball, but Nobunaga didn't seem to want to be a background board, and jumped on the spot to cover Sakuragi's dunk!

"Oops!" Nobunaga had just jumped up when he realized that he had taken a feint this time.

After Sakuragi bluffed and deceived Nobunaga, he was ready to go to the basket, but Nobunaga couldn't give up, and when his body fell, his hands pressed heavily on Sakuragi's arms, even if he fouled, he had to stop Sakuragi from making a layup, but Sakuragi's waist and abdomen strength was really strong, and he still reluctantly threw the ball out when he pressed his arms, and the spin of the ball was very strong, and after wiping the board, he rolled into the basket!

"No. 10, the batter fouls, the No. 6 goal is valid, plus a free throw. "The referee decisively awarded the penalty.

2+1! Sakuragi really came up with momentum, and his debut was quite amazing.
