At the end of the first half, although Xiangbei was behind, the difference between the two teams was not big, after all, Xiangbei's starting five were not much worse. However, there is also a problem in this, Rukawa Kaede is bent on becoming the first high school student in the island country, and when facing Eiji Zebei, who now has the first high school student, he naturally has a strong desire to attack in his heart. It's a pity that after Rukawa Kaede sacrificed the three-plate axe, he began to be more and more restricted by Zebei Eiji, and he obviously fell into disadvantage as a whole.

And Akagi Goken is also a proud lord, and when facing Masashi Kawada, who is known as the first center, he also turned on his personal offensive mode, but unfortunately he was still frustrated in addition to being frustrated.

In the second half, the situation was even more changeable, and Sanno Industries offered its own killer weapon - the whole audience was pressing.

Full-court pressing is a relatively simple basketball tactic that looks simple, but it can be difficult to play, in addition to the cooperation between teammates, it also requires good follow-up and defensive ability in each position. It is these two conditions that directly lead to the national high school league that only the king of the mountains can use this kind of move.

It's easy to say that you want to break the tactic of pressing the whole court. The first is to have a strong personal ability to break through with the ball, but unfortunately the personal strength of the five people in Xiangbei is outstanding, but the ability to break through with personal is Rukawa Kaede, Mitsui Shou and Miyagi, and their opponents have strong defensive capabilities, plus close cooperation and follow-up, often can't even catch the ball, even if they grab the ball, they often break off. Second, no players block each other, let the guards quickly transfer the basketball, and use close cooperation to break the full court, but unfortunately the Xiangbei five-person cooperation is only a few months, although they know each other better, but just their person-to-man defense knows that the cooperation of the five can only be regarded as average. The third is that the high school striker needs the ball to respond sideways in the middle circle, and the defender must be fast and accurate when passing the ball. People with strong dribbling ability should advance quickly in the backcourt, and if the opportunity is not good in the frontcourt, they must stabilize and play slowly. When encountering a pinch striker, pass the ball quickly, and the high school striker should raise the side to catch the ball. It's a pity that Akagi Tsuyoshi is tall. But Masashi Kawada is not much worse, and Miyagi is suppressed by Fukatsu.

In addition, the first time the five of them encountered the pressure of the audience, without any experience, their hearts would naturally subconsciously become nervous, how could there be other thoughts in their minds.

So in the first few minutes of the second half, Xiangbei was completely beaten by the King of the Mountain, and the difference between the two sides became wider and wider, until the score was stretched to 60-36. Lost by a full 24 points. If it were a normal person, the morale of the players would be completely suppressed, but the five people in Xiangbei were all unruly guys, and their momentum increased in adversity, and it can also be said that the legendary protagonist Xiaoqiang's aura broke out.

The first to break out was Mitsui Shou, who was exhausted by Ichinokura in the first half, and when the team encountered the greatest difficulties, the small universe exploded and played a crazy three-point strategy. started to play three-point shooting tactics, and as a result, he made 9 of 10 three-pointers from the field. The only missed shot was also for Sakuragi to grab a rebound and then Mitsui to shoot on the spot, and one of them also scored the only four points in the game.

Sakuragi first confronted Nobe in the first half, then competed with Kogawada for strength, and used athletic running to defeat him, and in the second half, he jumped and landed at full speed at full speed, and jumped three times in a row to grab rebounds. Learn Kawada's finger to make up for the basket, and after the back injury, he even covered Kogawa, Gaizawa North, and Rukawa pressed him when Matsumoto was on the side and watched Sakuragi shoot back, and as a result, Matsumoto Nen had a mountain king traitor.

As for Rukawa Kaede, after his own style of play was seen through by Eiji Sawakita and suffered setbacks one after another. began to pay attention to the importance of teamwork, and this is also the meaning that Coach Anzai wants to convey, after changing his mentality, Liuchuan broke through the Zebei defense line, organized the whole team's attack, and chased the wind.

In the end, it was Akagi Tsuyoken, who was once frustrated by Owada, and he began to be willing to be a green leaf, no longer fighting for personal honor, and only seeking the final victory.

In addition, it has to be said that when the whole of Xiangbei was almost on the verge of despair, Sakuragi carried the hopes of all the players off the field to the field, gambled on his reputation, and stood on the rostrum to issue a victory announcement. Sakuragi has never been so expected, at that moment the players off the court in Xiangbei pinned their hopes on not the pillar gorilla captain, nor the ace super newcomer Rukawa Kaede, but a super layman Sakuragi Hanamichi who used basketball as carpentry and carpentry as basketball four months ago.

"What you say about basketball common sense doesn't work for me, because I'm just a layman!"

It is such a sentence that has revived the morale of the team, and the super layman Sakuragi Hanamichi has become the spiritual pillar of Xiangbei with the strong aura of the newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers! It confirms the exclamation in Coach Tagang's heart when he first saw Sakuragi, "Who knows what will become of it in two or three years?" ”

It is with these aspects that Xiangbei will defeat the Mountain King with a score of 79-78 in the end.

When the dust settled, the high-fives between Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede were cited as classic by manga fans.

However, although Xiangbei defeated the Mountain King, it does not mean that Xiangbei is stronger than the Mountain King, I am afraid that no matter which comic book fan can see the gap between the two teams. Compared with the individual strength of the players, the king of the mountain has an advantage. Compared with the team, the king of the mountain still has the advantage, which can be seen intuitively.

Perhaps the reason why the Mountain King will fail is not only the outbreak of the small universe of the Xiangbei Five, but the contempt brought by the big score in the second half, they may think that the victory is in their hands, and they are already preparing for the next game.

In addition to subconsciously retaining the body, in addition, in the mentality of the players, there is not enough attention, of course, this is normal for the mountain king standing at the top for the unknown team. Head coach Domoto never felt threatened to lose, so he quickly put Kokawada, who was still a rookie, on the court instead of replacing him with a strong and experienced Matsumoto.

Coach Domoto is careless, and Coach Anzai on the other side is quite sophisticated, which fully shows the importance of the team's coach. In addition, Sakuragi's multiple dunks in the game and Mitsui's three-point outburst were quite morale-boosting, including Rukawa Kaede's table after recognizing the gap between himself and Xiandao, and only then did he lead the game to twists and turns.

Of course, there is one last point, which is also the most important point, that is, Xiangbei's growth in the game caught the mountain king off guard, and he couldn't find a suitable solution for a while.

After Xiangbei defeated the former national champion Sanno team in the second round of the national competition, and entered the third round, the team failed miserably because he consumed too much body in the battle with Sanno and Sakuragi suffered a back injury and could not participate.

As for the final champion of the national competition, this is not the case, and not many readers will care, because even if other teams win the championship, it is not well deserved.

This is the end of the national competition in Xiangbei, but in fact, winning the king of the mountain is equivalent to winning the national competition, so even comic fans don't have too many regrets, but it's a pity.

After the national tournament, third-year Akagi and Muki chose to retire, but Mitsui remained with the team hoping to make up for the first two years and play more and prepare to participate in the winter tournament; As for Miyagi Ryota, he became the captain and was in the limelight, but he still chased the team manager Ayako; And Haruko Shun lì joined the basketball team as the team manager; Rukawa Kaede did not go to the United States in the end, and after the national competition, he trained in the island youth selection team.

As for the protagonist Sakuragi, he was recuperating in a sanatorium on the north coast of Xiangbei, and when he was happily watching the letter written by Haruko on the beach, Rukawa ran to him along the sea, opened his coat and showed Sakuragi the uniform of the island youth team inside, and successfully made Sakuragi angry, and then the two faced the sea and blue sky together. At this time, the sanatorium aunt came out and asked Sakuragi to do rehabilitation exercises, Sakuragi said confidently, and once again said the motto - I am a genius!

When they saw the end of "Slam Dunk", most of the comic fans suddenly seemed to have never thought that "Slam Dunk" would end at this time! (To be continued......)
