Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Unsolvable Sakuragi

Coach Anthy nodded on the field, as if pleased with the performance of the players on the field, although the goal had not yet been converted into a score.

Yasuda is a role player after all, with a mediocre mentality in adversity, and the opponent's morale is high in hard defense, and the quality of this pass is not very high. Sakuragi took a sideways step and leaned down to take the ball in his hand. Momentum is really a very important factor. Yasuda's defender, taking advantage of this short time, actually turned around and rushed to Sakuragi's side.

Sakuragi didn't even look at him, he just pulled it up and shot, and the other party also jumped up and interfered. Watching Sakuragi shoot, most of the audience began to coax, shouting together not to enter ~ not to enter. Most of the players in Xiangbei also sweated for this goal, only Rukawa Kaede was still calm, and he was very sure that the goal had been scored. After Sakuragi came back, Rukawa Kaede has been observing Sakuragi, and Rukawa Kaede saw it very clearly from the shot just now. Under the double pressure of the opponent's interference and the one-sided situation, Sakuragi's shooting did not deform in the slightest, and Sakuragi was in a state of selflessness like a master outside the world. As far as Rukawa Kaede knows, the person who can do this, at present, in Kanagawa Prefecture, is the only one who ~ Xiandao ~ Ah God.

No matter what the situation on the court is, no matter how good the opponent's defense is, he can still maintain his rhythm and maintain his shooting posture, which alone is a double test of mentality and skill. It's hard to do without a solid basketball foundation and a lot of practice, and this is the most profound aspect of Sakuragi that left on Rukawa Kaede after he returned.

The ball hit steadily, and those spectators who were blindly coaxing~ for fear that the world would not be chaotic closed their mouths, and the mustachioed store manager and many players from Xiangbei breathed a sigh of relief.

Sakuragi's goal could not fundamentally change the situation on the field, but only to temporarily relieve some pressure on Xiangbei, and then the two teams launched an attack. In the face of the old fritter who defended himself, Sakuragi was extremely cautious, which increased the difficulty of his shooting to a certain extent, but Sakuragi still had to hit continuously and gradually pulled the momentum back.

Most of Xiangbei's scoring came from Sakuragi, and Egawa Gong decisively chose to change the defense on the inside, intending to increase his height to limit Sakuragi and regain the advantage on the court. In the face of taller defenders, Sakuragi was as calm as ever, and Xiangbei had chased the score to only one point left, and this goal was crucial for both sides.

Sakuragi used his left foot as a support foot, and his right foot leaned forward twice, while his body also cooperated with the momentum to break through. The opponent's defense is good, and he doesn't eat Sakuragi's shaking at all, and he is still firmly in the best defensive position. At the same time as retracting his right foot for the second time, Sakuragi jumped directly to shoot, and the opponent was a little surprised, and after making sure that it was not a feint, he jumped up and blocked it with all his might.

The ball flew out from an inch away from the defender's fingertips, and although it did not directly block the ball, the defending Egawa Gong center felt that this level of interference would definitely make Sakuragi inaccurate. As soon as he landed, he leaned on Sakuragi, stuck in the position of grabbing the rebound, and watched the ball fly towards the basket.

The ball entered the frame cleanly, and Xiangbei finally overtook the score, and Xiangbei's morale was greatly boosted. The mustachioed store manager was particularly happy, and the "experts" in front of him became more and more silent.

Even with that clean goal, Egawa's center still thinks Sakuragi is lucky, after all, his defense is in place. After the attack failed, Egawa Gong center again faced Sakuragi, this time his attention was more concentrated, determined to prevent this ball, not to make Xiangbei continue to expand the lead.

Sakuragi still made a test first, and at the moment of retracting his foot, he started to break through to the basket. Egawa's center defense was clean, using his torso against Sakuragi, and moving his feet while putting pressure on Sakuragi. Sakuragi pulled back and jumped on the spot as he moved.

This time, Egawa Gong's center was too late to block the ball, and after jumping, he went straight to Sakuragi's eyes and sealed it. His reaction was also fast, and after successfully blocking Sakuragi's eyes, Sakuragi threw the ball out, which was also a good defense.

The ball hit again, which frustrated Egawa's center, who had done a good job, but still didn't stop the opponent from scoring. This can be seen from the reaction of the audience, when the ball entered the frame, the audience was in an uproar, no matter how you look at it, you may not score more, but the ball just went in.

"You're in luck!" Egawa's center gritted his teeth and said to Sakuragi, who was walking back, that this was a way to maintain confidence and not let the opponent's score hit him, and Sakuragi completely ignored him as if he didn't hear it.

Egawa Gong's strong attack failed, and the ball passed to Sakuragi's hands again. Sakuragi received the ball and turned around, jumped and shot, the action was not very fast, and there was no cover-up, and he was completely like a defender in the air. The center of Egawa Gong, who was holding back his strength, jumped up to block it, and the ball flew past his fingertips, and Egawa Gong's center even felt the air flow of the ball flying through his fingertips.

hit again, and the head coach of Egawa Gong's face turned green. There was also a commotion in the audience, and there was a lot of discussion in the ears. At this time, the center of Egawa Gong believed that the previous two goals were by no means luck, and he had already prevented this, and the ball still scored~ This can already explain everything.

Sakuragi scored six straight points to turn the tide of the court and force his opponent to call a timeout. From the fighting spirit when he was overtaken just now, to the frustration after being hit by Sakuragi three goals in a row, Egawa Gong's momentum has been extremely low.

"It's normal for us to lose to Shohoku, but that was when Miyagi and Rukawa Kaede played. I don't care what way you do it, whether it's a bag or a circle, I don't want to see that red-haired goal again. "Coach Jiang Chuangong's demand for the ball is not high, so it's okay to lose decently. But watching the team being beaten by a little-known red-haired man with no fighting spirit made him unbearable.

'Everybody played well, paid attention to the passing and remembered that we were a team. Coach Anthy simply said that the team is currently in full swing, which can be seen from everyone's faces.

Sakuragi was obviously in the state of the game, didn't talk to anyone, listened to Coach Anzai's arrangement while drinking water, and didn't even notice Haruko, who was excited.

The game restarted and the timeout had no noticeable effect. Xiangbei is like a bamboo. Sakuragi faced the other party's front wrapping and bagging, and behaved calmly.

Yasuda passed the ball to Sakuragi, the player near the free throw line immediately came over to wrap up, Sakuragi passed the ball to the player at the top of the arc, and the defenders rotated to the Xiangbei player at the top of the arc, and the ball immediately shifted to the bottom corner, and the inside player saved to defend, and the ball hit the empty space under the basket in the hands of Tsunoda. The rest of the game was like this goal, Xiangbei played more and more fluently, but Jiang Chuangong's defense could only be exhausted.
