Sakuragi's arrival not only made the offense of the new team lively, but also raised their defense to a higher level.

When Shakura was on the field before, Yanagisawa could be said to have played like a fish in water. When defending, he didn't get anything in the sand barn, and when he attacked, under the cover of Maki and others, he made many gains.

However, as soon as Sakuragi came up to such a stop, Yanagisawa immediately hit an iron plate in attack, and there was no choice but to bypass.

It's not just Yanagisawa who is locked in this scoring point, but even Maki and Kuroda are also greatly affected.

Usually they train together, and it's clear who has how much ability they have.

Maki had to give up his style of play of pulling to the outside and focus on wrestling with Akagi on the inside. This is tantamount to attacking the strengths of the other with his own shortcomings, which makes Maki's attack more difficult, but he has to do so. If it's still as proflamic as before, Maki knows that Sakuragi won't mind serving himself a big hot pot.

The honest real wood knows that he is good luck and avoids evil, and the lazy Kuroda even sees the opportunity to avoid Sakuragi's position and run. But just like that, he was still poisoned by Sakuragi.

In an attack, he used his technique to shake Wu Dai, jumped up and shot with joy, and just felt that his shot, whether it was posture or strength, was just right, and a figure on the side of the road protruded like a strange peak, and the ball that went straight to the basket was intercepted like a meteor catching the moon, and slapped it on Mizuno's hand.

Mizuno caught the ball and threw it directly, and the basketball flew past Kuroda with the wind, falling down to the ground, and when it bounced up, Sakuragi, who had just blocked the ball, had already rushed to this side, reached out and fished, and killed the empty basket of the senior team without slowing down at all, and then completed the attack with a split dunk.

Yanagisawa took a step after him, saw Sakuragi's back getting farther and farther away, sighed and stopped chasing, looked back at Mizuno, gave a thumbs up and said, "It's a great pass." ”

Passing the ball so accurately at a fast pace, avoiding Kuroda's possible interceptions, and allowing Sakuragi to receive the ball smoothly, this assist seems simple, but the skills reflected in it are not simple.

Mizuno smiled modestly, pointed at Sakuragi and asked, "Sakuragi's explosiveness and bounce are the key." ”

Yanagisawa didn't say much, and looked at Endo, a little worried about him.

This year's first-year students have a good foundation, and their joining has greatly enhanced the strength of the team, which is a good thing, but at the same time, the competition within the team will be greatly enhanced, and if it is slightly inappropriate, it will provoke contradictions, but it will weaken the team's combat effectiveness.

This year is actually okay, with Maki and himself, although there is no obvious advantage in strength, but he can still control the situation with qualifications.

By next year, the newcomers will be greatly strengthened after training and competitions, and maybe they will surpass all the sophomores, and then the battle for power within the team will be troublesome.

Thinking of this, Yanagisawa saw Suzuki, who was still sitting on the sidelines, and suddenly smiled, laughing at himself and worrying about the sky, with this one person, Xiangbei can't be chaotic.

Suzuki only played Sakuragi for just over four minutes, and at a total of 20 minutes, it was for Kawabe to finish the match.

The overall score was 52-38. The senior team still leads by 14 points.

However, everyone can see that after Sakuragi came on the field, the freshman team seemed to have changed a group of people, and one by one they played stronger than before, and they were playing against the senior team.

If Sakuragi had been given another five minutes, the situation might have been reversed.

Sakuragi stood on the field and didn't want to come down, he had just moved his bones, and was about to make a big fight, but he didn't expect this game to stop.

Yanagisawa walked over and hooked his head and whispered, "Hanamichi, save face for my brother." Today's game is to let newcomers know how many pounds and taels they have. You're not a newcomer, so you can mean it. The training is over, and my brother will take you to eat ramen. ”

Sakuragi raised three fingers and said, "Three bowls." ”

Yanagisawa patted him on the shoulder and said, "Enough, eat until you're full." ”

The wind sounded behind him, and two towels were thrown over and thrown on the two of them, and Momoi shouted, "Yanagisawa and Sakuragi, what are you two still muttering over there?" Why don't you wipe your sweat away and come and line up! ”

Suzuki got up from his seat and first praised everyone's performance slowly, such as being in good spirits and imposing.

Subsequently, they began to comment on the shortcomings revealed by each person in the competition.

Yanagisawa, as the team's vice-captain, bore the brunt of the reprimand. In fact, he had been performing well before Sakuragi came on the court, but he couldn't stop Suzuki from talking about his performance in the last few minutes.

And Yanagisawa also obediently bowed his head and confessed, and said "Sumi Masan" very smoothly.

After Yanagisawa was criticized, Kuroda, Kawabe, Ishii and Endo did not escape, even if the latter two actually played decently, although there was nothing brilliant but there was no mistake, they were all forcibly picked by Suzuki and reprimanded.

After finishing the senior training, Suzuki glanced at the freshmen, and the cold eyes made several people shrink their heads, and then shouted: "Now we all know the difference between colleges and universities!" To tell the truth, the current strength of Xiangbei can't even enter the top three in the county! This means that we won't make it to the national competition! We can't go to the national arena and compete with teams from other counties! For me, for Maki, we had already been to the national competition once the year before last, and we have no regrets! However, for you, for the next three years, is it enough to prepare to play the prefectural qualifiers once a year? Tell me! ”

The crowd shouted, "Of course not! We're going to make it to the national competition too! ”

Suzuki raised his hands and pressed them in front of him, signaling everyone to silence, and then said, "Very good!" I appreciate your fighting spirit, but I want to say that your current strength is far from enough! You have to get stronger to have a chance to take to the national stage and show your presence to basketball players from all over the island! ”

Suzuki breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "So, for the training intensity in the next period of time, you had better prepare for it. It's really better to live than to die! Now, I'm going to give you another chance, people who just joined the basketball team just to work out, and people who feel they can't keep up with the hard work, can stand up, and now I allow you to give up. Rest assured, I'm not going to expel you, and you'll still be able to use the arena as a member of the basketball club, but, from now on, I'm not going to include your name on the basketball team, understand? ”

Yanagisawa took the lead in replying: "Understood! ”

Suzuki said, "Okay. Think about it. Tell me the answer by this time tomorrow. ”
