Sakuragi's self-confidence has taken a hit, it's not a common thing, after all, the iron-headed baby!

The reason why Coach Anzai gave up Sakuragi's rebounding ability and asked him to work hard to defend Wang Zhengyang was because he took a fancy to several obvious traits in him.

Self-confidence is Sakuragi's shining point, there are advantages and disadvantages, first-class players like Xiandao and Zebei, the deeper they understand Wang Zhengyang, the more powerless they will feel.

And second-level players such as Mu, Shenjin, and Zhuxingda will also be affected by the strength revealed by Wang Zhengyang.

In other words, the more you know about basketball, the more terrifying you will feel, but a white person like Sakuragi doesn't have so many worries.

The most important thing is that Sakuragi's ability to move is very flexible at his height.

can keep up with Wang Zhengyang's footsteps and change to Akagi, even if he has more experience than Sakuragi, he can't keep Wang Zhengyang's breakthrough.

But now the little white cherry tree is gradually turning into an old fritter, and some problems are becoming more and more clear.

For example, Wang Zhengyang's attack just now seemed to be just a change in footsteps, but Sakuragi just didn't keep up, and then he was scored cleanly!

At that moment, Sakuragi didn't know what was going on in his mind, and the figures of Zebei, Sendo, and even Rukawa Kaede began to emerge.

"This ball, they should be able to keep up with Wang Zhengyang's rhythm!"

Sakuragi's judgment is right, the other people may be able to keep up with the rhythm, but it doesn't mean that they can prevent it!

Sakuragi was a little depressed, but Rukawa Kaede didn't, and the last attack in the first half of Xiangbei was in the hands of the little fox!

Mitsui began to run tacitly, even if he couldn't get the ball, he could also involve Lingnan's defense.

In the left area outside the three-point line in Lingnan, Rukawa Kaede held the ball and faced Xiandao.

Rukawa Kaede, who dribbs the ball with his right hand, quickly switches the basketball to his left hand, strides forward, lowers his center of gravity, and makes a breakthrough temptation!

At this time, Mitsui ran behind Xiandao with the defenders, and Xiandao, who was full of five senses on the court, naturally felt the commotion behind him, but he was unmoved!

He firmly believes that Liuchuan Kaede will only attack by himself in this ball, so in the face of the forward pressure of the little fox, Xiandao does not retreat but advances, and defends closely!

Rukawa Kaede's movements came to a slight pause, and he took the initiative to widen the distance between the two with a retreat step dribble.

"Want to shoot suddenly with color?" Xiandao visually measured the position of Rukawa Kaede, which was just one step away from the three-point line.

If this was Wang Zhengyang, Xiandao would not hesitate to press it again, because he understood that his teammates had the ability to score at this distance.

But Rukawa Kaede ......

However, before Xiandao could make any moves, Rukawa Kaede suddenly quickened the pace of dribbling and withdrew towards the top of the arc.

"Huh?" The immortal path immediately moved sideways, and then slammed into a mountain of flesh.

It turned out that Daisuke Hirakawa took the initiative to raise and cover in a high position, perfectly blocking the immortal path.

And Rukawa Kaede took the opportunity to suddenly go to the free throw line, and before Fukuda made a block, he threw a one-handed shot to score the basketball!

In the first half, Ming Jin withdrew.

Xiangbei temporarily lagged behind Lingnan with 47:54.

The ultra-high number of rounds brings a high score, and the tactics of abandoning defense have temporarily made the scores of the two teams almost the same.

Rukawa Kaede's score this time was extremely crucial, controlling the difference between the two teams at about seven points, which kept the Xiangbei players in good psychological condition.

If the score is pulled apart in the first half, then the second half is destined to be a fierce battle!

In the tunnel of the players.

Sakuragi followed behind the group with some heavy steps, out of place with the others who were visibly relieved.

"Damn!" Suddenly, Sakuragi pounds his fist against the wall of the aisle, attracting the attention of all his teammates.

"You guys go in the locker room!" Akagi shows the authority of the captain and repels the others, leaving him alone to face a depressed Sakuragi.

"Gorilla...", looking up at Akagi, the red-haired monkey reproached himself.

"You're doing well, Sakuragi!" Akagi's broad palm patted Sakuragi's back.

"You don't have to comfort me!" Sakuragi shook his head, indicating that he clearly understood the gap with Wang Zhengyang.

"Huh!" Seeing Sakuragi in this picture, Akagi decided to change the angle.

"You know what? In terms of rebounding ability alone, you have surpassed me! ”

"Huh?" Sakuragi's ears were pricked up, and he had always been particularly sensitive to this kind of information.

"You're a worthy rebounding king right now!" Akagi's words come from the heart, and Akagi recognizes Sakuragi's rebounding ability.

"But, gorilla..."Sakuragi was clearly still a little annoyed by his performance.

"Haha, why are you comparing yourself to that monster?" Akagi smiled heartily.

"Remember, it's never anyone else you have to overcome, it's yourself! Aren't you a genius? ”

"Am I a genius?" Sakuragi muttered to himself, the persistence in his heart crumbling a little.

"Of course, from the first time I saw you, I had a hunch that you would be the savior of the basketball team!" This is where Akagi begins to talk nonsense.

"Savior?" Sakuragi's eyes finally began to light up, and the simple little bull ate this set.

"That's right, we need your strength!" Akagi grabbed Sakuragi's shoulders with both hands and looked at Sakuragi with wide eyes.

Being stared at like this by an orangutan, Sakuragi's snort began to worsen, and the light in his eyes became thicker and thicker.

"Leave it to me Sakuragi Hanami, I'm a man who never gives up!"

Finally, Sakuragi made a declaration of victory to Akagi.

"Hey, cheer up! Especially you, Rukawa Kaede, don't drag me back in the second half! ”

"Big idiot!"

Watching Sakuragi enter the locker room with great vigour, Akagi finally breathed a sigh of relief and stepped into the locker room.

"Akagi-senpai!" But at this moment, a nervous voice sounded.

"Well, it's Ayako! What's wrong? Akagi looked at Ayako, who was sweating profusely.

"Senpai!" Ayako first glanced at the locker room, and then whispered: "Coach he is unwell, I'm afraid he won't be able to appear in the second half!" ”

"What?" Akagi was shocked, and then asked nervously, "Coach, how is he!" ”

It's no wonder that Akagi is nervous, because of the butterfly effect, Coach Anzai's old illness recurred, and it didn't break out until the time of the Autumn Country.

This is also the reason why he declined to be the coach of the Kanagawa team, and it is not long before now.

"It's still the same old problem, so I can only stay in the infirmary!" Ayako whispered.

"I'm going to check it out!" When Akagi heard this, he immediately turned around and rushed to the infirmary.

"Wait a minute!" But Ayako pulled the jersey tightly.

"The coach told you not to worry, concentrate on preparing for the second half of the game!"

"How can this be, I have to go and see!"

"Senior, do you know the location of the infirmary?"

“………”

In the end, Akagi, who calmed down, also understood that the coach did not let them visit him at this time, which was not to increase the burden on everyone.

Pushing the door into the locker room and looking at his noisy teammates, Akagi didn't know how to speak for a while.
