The first duel between Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede happened not long after Sakuragi first came into contact with basketball, and at that time Sakuragi could be said to be a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, regardless of whether he was Rukawa Kaede or Michael Jordan, as long as he could win in front of Haruko, it was a word "on". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Sakuragi doesn't know who Jordan is anyway.

Although in the first duel, Sakuragi lost 0:3 to Rukawa Kaede, but no one thought that Sakuragi really lost, because this was originally an unfair matchup, Rukawa Kaede is already recognized as the first newcomer in Kanagawa, and Sakuragi is just a "layman" who has been in contact with basketball for less than a month.

And everyone believes that Sakuragi has the strength and potential to catch up with Kaede Rukawa at some point in the future, or even surpass.

Such an opportunity did not wait too long, after Sakuragi returned from recuperating in the United States, the first thing Sakuragi did was to participate in the draft, and the second thing was to face off against Rukawa Kaede again.

Rukawa Kaede is still the best newcomer, known as the "champion of the century" and Sakuragi Ikebana has become more mysterious, no one knows how far Sakuragi Ikebana, who went to the United States for three years, has progressed.

I believe that although he was disdainful at that time, Rukawa Kaede, who had the same expression as in the Xiangbei Training Hall, still weighed a little bit in his heart, how much Sakuragi had improved~~

"You challenge me to let you serve first. "Rukawa Kaede seems to have entered the state.

"You'll regret it!" Sakuragi's fighting spirit has burned to the extreme, and it is about to explode at any moment.

Sakuragi took the ball first, Rukawa Kaede did not stick to the defense, and he was two meters away from Sakuragi. It may be that Sakuragi is in the three-point line, and he is still very relieved of Sakuragi's throwing.

I saw the corners of Sakuragi's mouth rise, smiled evilly, and suddenly squatted as if luck, tiptoe to the ground, staring at the basket in front of him, jumping with both feet, and his body quickly rising upward, like a rising rocket, rising into the air. With both hands and feet, he raised the ball above his head, and the action was extremely standard, like flowing water, and he threw the ball out very steadily!

Everyone in the court couldn't believe it, although they had barely watched Sakuragi's game, but suddenly shot at the three-point line, and didn't dribble, they took the ball and shot, which was beyond everyone's expectations!

The basketball spins extremely strongly in the air, flying towards the basket like a missile, brushing the ~~~~~!

"Wow~Wow~Wow~~~!" everyone exclaimed.

"It's terrifying to make a jump shot at the three-point line!" said some young players in the gym in surprise.

Sakuragi was still standing in place, keeping his hand in the same position as he was shooting, and said, "It's 1:0!"

Although Rukawa Kaede didn't say anything, he was indeed a little surprised that the basketball layman who couldn't shoot before, shot the three-point shot so confidently.

Mr. Kawaguchi was perhaps the only one in the audience who was not shocked, because he had secretly traveled to the United States many times over the past three years to watch Sakuragi's competitions and training, and he knew very well what kind of training Sakuragi had gone through and how much progress he had made in the past few years.

"Yo, Kawaguchi, did a good job this time!" the boss looked very proud.

Switch to Rukawa Kaede to attack.

Sakuragi was quite serious, tied up his horse, opened his arms, and watched Rukawa Kaede's every move.

Rukawa Kaede took the ball and lucked, and he didn't have the posture to break through, as if he was looking for a hole in the defense.

Seeing that Sakuragi was unmoved, Rukawa Kaede began to dribble under his crotch, adjusted his rhythm, and slowly probed forward.

And Sakuragi saw Rukawa Kaede start to dribble under his crotch, and turned to the right side, as if he deliberately left a way for Rukawa Kaede to go to the basket!

Rukawa Kaede saw that Sakuragi's defensive position had changed, shrugged his shoulders, and immediately switched to his left hand to dribble, depressed his center of gravity, and kicked the ground his toes, accelerating the dribble to the inside.

Sakuragi was still unmoved, just sliding to follow Rukawa Kaede, and did not block Rukawa Kaede's forward route.

Suddenly, Rukawa Kaede slowed down instantly, took the right foot as the axis, and made a 180-degree turn, the whole set of movements was extremely coherent, although it was just a few simple movements, but from the fast breakthrough to the emergency stop, from the emergency stop to the clean turn, the body can still maintain a good balance, which is not only a physical talent, but also a solid basic skill as a foundation!

Rukawa Kaede, who turned around, was already empty under the basket in front of him, and Sakuragi lost his center of gravity due to the inertia and sudden deceleration due to the rapid defending, and also lost his defensive position!

Rukawa Kaede jumped up suddenly, ready to have a big slam dunk on the spot!

"It's too underestimated!" Sakuragi suddenly flew over from somewhere, probably because of the running factor, Sakuragi was obviously jumping higher than Rukawa Kaede! Sakuragi's body was like a fully drawn bow, tense with strength, ready to fan the ball in Rukawa Kaede's hand.

Rukawa Kaede saw that his slam dunk was likely to be fanned by Sakuragi, and suddenly jumped his body to the highest point and leaned on Sakuragi, who was rising, and this leaning made Sakuragi's still rising body suddenly stop.

However, Sakuragi's huge body in the air still shrouded Rukawa Kaede, who had a hard time finding space to shoot.

Just as Sakuragi was about to fan the ball in Rukawa Kaede's hand, Rukawa Kaede used the moment he leaned on Sakuragi's body to use Sakuragi's body as a fulcrum, like a ball hitting the wall, Rukawa Kaede's body bounced out, and used this elastic force to make a lever in the air with both hands (commonly known as a "cradle", both arms counterclockwise similar to an arc action), in this way, the ball ran from the right side of the basket to the left, also behind Sakuragi, and at the moment when the body was about to lose balance, he used his fingertips to pull the ball out!

"When, when, when" the ball bounced on the frame a few times, but still went in.

"Damn, it's almost!" Sakuragi looked unwilling.

"Kawaguchi, you've really picked up a treasure!" the boss was excited to see such a wonderful duel.

"Of course, Rukawa Kaede is the champion of the year!

"I'm talking about Sakuragi, I didn't expect not only Yong, but also some scheming!" The boss's words made Kawaguchi scratch his head.

Indeed, as the boss Mr. Takayama said, Sakuragi's defense just now was strategic! And the defensive strategy was quite successful! Let Rukawa Kaede break through with an unskilled left-handed dribble, and then when Rukawa Kaede had to find a way to switch to a right-handed layup, Sakuragi, who had already prepared, waited for the opportunity to block again!

What Sakuragi didn't expect was that Rukawa Kaede actually had such a strong waist and abdomen strength, and he could use his body to bounce up and produce inertia!

Sakuragi's defense is very effective, it can only be said that Rukawa Kaede has improved a lot in his ball skills in recent years, and how much he has grown, maybe only an opponent like Sakuragi can test it!

Everyone in the hall was stunned, and after a long pause, applause broke out, which was really exciting, and everyone didn't even dare to blink, for fear of missing every 'shot'!

"I'm going to get serious about letting you get into one, stinky fox!" Sakuragi said confidently with the ball.

"Cut~~, idiot!" Rukawa Kaede was not provoked at all, still calm.

Sakuragi Attack!

This time, Rukawa Kaede chose to shorten the defensive distance, obviously a little afraid of Sakuragi's shot.

Seeing this, Sakuragi began to dribble the ball, thinking about how to unfold this attack!
