Chapter 43 Sakuragi ~ Oda
Compared to the race in Kanagawa, life in Sakuragi Hanamichi is a little more monotonous. He has always been optimistic and arrogant~ He claims to be a genius, but since he was hit by the cruel reality, he has become a lot more silent. The only thing that supports him now is his trust in Coach Anzai and his determination to defeat Rukawa Kaede that has not changed.
The facilities in the university are more complete, and Sakuragi Hanamichi does all kinds of equipment exercises every day according to Coach Anzai's arrangement~ He has never seen before, and listens to Coach Anzai's tireless technical explanations over and over again. For the old and young who fell from the sky, the players on the college basketball team chose to remain silent because of the coach's orders. In fact, Coach Anzai used to be an assistant coach and the coach of this college basketball team. In his heart, like his teammates, he has all kinds of questions.
Judging from his observations, the redhead who was brought by Coach Anthy did not show anything outstanding except for his height. Ordinary speed, ordinary jumping ability, and Gu Ze, who was once valued by Coach Anzai, are completely the same as heaven and earth. The only thing that is stronger than Gu Ze is that he obeys Coach Anzai's arrangement hard, and even secretly trains by himself who comes early and leaves late.
Hainan ~ Lingnan ~ Xiangbei In addition to rushing all the way to the top four, it is constantly watching Xiangyang. At the same time, there are also endless girls on the lookouts, and the charm of Fujima and the flower shape is more than that of the fairy flow god.
This day is a crucial day for the winter selection Kanagawa preliminaries, with four eight-in-four matches. Hainan ~ Lingnan ~ Xiangbei advanced to the semifinals without suspense, and the most dazzling player in the three teams is none other than Mitsui Shou of Xiangbei. Mitsui continued the performance of the previous games and led Xiangbei to easily reach the semifinals. The personal data of averaging 35 points, five rebounds and five assists per game also made him earn enough eyeballs. Some people even began to discuss that Mitsui Shou is the real trump card of Xiangbei. For these rumors, Rukawa Kaede didn't care at all. With Miyagi, the two of them gave Mitsui enough room to play.
Today's last finale game is Dark Horse Wuyuan vs. Xiangyang High School. This battle of focus made the stadium full, and the game had not yet begun, and it was already full of jealousy. Those girls in the stands with their teeth and claws in the stands make people feel that this is not a basketball game, but a beauty contest of who has the most handsome male god.........
"Xiao Tian's progress has been great, Wu Yuan's strength is no longer the same as when he was abused by Hainan's substitute blood. I don't know who is better than him? The name of Kanagawa's next No. 1 center has been placed on Oda's head. Shigeichi Tazuoka sat in the stands with a group of Lingnan players and said to Jun Usumi next to him, while glancing at Tetsuya Naito.
"Oda has really made great progress, but it's definitely still inferior to Hanagata. I don't think Wuyuan can hinder Xiangyang's footsteps, and the next battle against Xiangbei should be the real test for Xiangyang. As for the first center, it's too early to say, and I'm sure Naito has that quality as well. After a period of contact, Yu Zhuchun appreciated his junior more and more. This may have something to do with the fact that Naito's type is similar to himself, and Oda belongs to the offensive interior line. And after Naito's return from the autumn country, coupled with Yuzumi's careful training, he focused more on defense.
The dialogue between Shigeichi Taoka and Jun Uosumi intentionally or unintentionally made Naito's fighting spirit rise a few points. Although in terms of personal data, Naito is not as gorgeous as Oda, but in terms of his role in the team, Naito is confident that he is not inferior to Oda. The starters of both sides entered, and to the surprise of the onlookers, the five main players of Xiangyang's third grade all appeared, which was rare in the previous game.
"Fuji Zhen really looks up to Wuyuan!" Kiyota Nobunaga looked at the venue with interest, and he didn't know if he was praising Fujima or Kuato Zhen..........
"Xiangbei's upset, I'm afraid it's hard for them to forget, they are in the third grade~ they can't afford to lose." Ah Shen, who was sitting on the side, was as calm as ever and didn't show too much surprise.
Jumping the ball in the middle circle, Oda and Hana are evenly matched, and the basketball flies aimlessly to the side. Hasegawa, who was closer, ran over as soon as possible, but the opponent was short and more flexible, and he got the ball in his hand before him.
The first attack of the game was initiated by Wuyuan High School. While the five people in Wuyuan were in the front court, Xiangyang High School had also established a "no-fly zone" under the basket. The four elders each stood in a corner, putting on a joint defensive posture, and Fuji Zhen faced the opponent's point guard on the outside.
"If you come up and defend together, aren't you afraid of the opponent's three-point shot?" Yasuda humbly asked for advice, his mentor Mitsui Shou.
"Xiangyang was very well prepared and did a careful study of Wuyuan. Wu Yuan's main point of attack is Oda, and there are no god pitchers like me and Ah Shen on the outside, so they dare to put on such a defensive formation. Wu Yuan will not rashly attack from the outside, in the case of no guarantee of rebounding, once they can't score in a few rounds, they will fall into Xiangyang's rhythm, then they will not have a chance to turn over. Mitsui explained to the apprentice in great detail, and before the apprentice's whiskers were patting, Miyagi's voice came.
"Explain it, explain it, why brag about yourself?" Miyagi teased Mitsui with a wicked smile, and said to Mitsui in his heart that he agreed, just joking with Mitsui.
"Damn, am I not telling the truth? If you're not convinced, let's have a shooting game, you shoot one and count two, and the loser invites everyone to eat, do you dare? Mitsui was ridiculed by Miyagi and became angry, and he couldn't wait to pull Miyagi to prove himself.
"As the captain, my time is very precious, how can I have so much time!" Miyagi looked at the scrappy Mitsui, and he couldn't laugh in his heart, as for the game, forget it, knowing that he will lose a fool will compare.
"Quiet, watch the game!" A loud blow came from Miyagi's head, causing the Yohei people next to him to snicker, it seems that Ayako can still suppress this captain!
"Zhilu Dao!" Miyagi covered his head, glanced weakly at Ayako in the back row, and stopped talking and focused his attention on the field. After Wu Yuan poured the ball a few times on the outside, he really didn't choose to shoot rashly, but handed the ball to Xiao Tian, the point where he had the greatest grasp. Oda took the ball, turned his left foot for the axis, and chose to attack with a face frame.
"Oda is not a center forward in the traditional sense, he is more athletic, and he should have a better chance of attacking with the face frame." While watching the game, Shigeichi Taoka became a commentator.
