Chapter Seventy-Three: The Three Battles of the Mountain King (3)

In order to avoid injury, Rukawa hung on the basket and swung for a while before going to the ground. As soon as he turned around, he saw that Zebei was already standing in front of him, and his heart shook slightly, and he was wary of Zebei's speed.

Zebei said unconvinced: "You won't have such a comfortable chance next time!" I'm going to get serious! Ah! ”

Okawada ran over and knocked on Zebei's skull, and reprimanded, "Stupid, I'm not concentrating again." Did you watch last night's video in vain? ”

Zebei covered his head, his eyes seemed to bloom with tears, and he said angrily: "It hurts!" ”

Okawada responded to him domineeringly: "That's not the point, the point is that you have to fight back one now." Watch out for catches! ”

Zebei was stunned for a moment, and the basketball next to him had already come to him, and then smashed straight on the back of his hand.

Zebei screamed again, naturally he didn't control the ball, but Liuchuan next to him would not let go of this opportunity, reached out and copied it, put the ball in his hands, and then turned around, dribbled and made a layup to score another one.

Okawada returned in time to defend and blocked in front of Rukawa like a wall.

Rukawa stopped suddenly, took a step to the left, quickly retracted, and then took another step to the left, this time really moving the center of gravity.

Kawada played from a defender to a center forward, and he had never seen any opponent, and he was extremely experienced, and he did not make a mistake in judgment. However, his size still slowed down, and even though he knew Rukawa's intentions, he didn't have time to keep up, and his defense was half a beat slower.

Rukawa took advantage of the small gap that was snatched up and made a quick stop jump shot.

However, Rukawa's shot failed to go in, reaching behind his back and slapping the ball off the rails as it just left his hand.

On the other side, Fukatsu returned to the defense and controlled the ball.

Rukawa fell to the ground, and when he looked back, it was not surprising that the person who destroyed his shot just now was Zebei.

Looking at Zebei's triumphant appearance, Rukawa clenched his fists, didn't speak, and reflexively went back to defend.

Fukatsu passed the ball forward to Kokawada, who had not yet returned from the northern half of Xiangbei, and Kokawada received the ball and leaned back sharply.

Although Akagi had already lowered his center of gravity against Kogawada's back, he didn't expect Kokawada's strength to greatly exceed his expectations, and Kogawada arched backwards.

Feeling loose in his defense, Kokawada turned with his right foot as the axis, and at the same time raised the ball with both hands above his head, aimed at the basket, and sent it lightly.

Akagi's center of gravity hadn't recovered yet, and he couldn't jump, so he could only see the ball slowly draw an arc and fall into Xiangbei's basket.

Maori on the side compared his smaller body to Kawada's, with a frightened face, he stabbed Akagi and asked, "Boss, can you still withstand it?" Do you want to go around the front to defend? ”

Akagi glanced at him and said in an urn voice, "You do your own thing first." ”

The ball came out and went to Mizuno, who dribbled forward, and before half the court, Ichinokura came up on the defensive.

Mizuno is much taller than Ichinokura, and naturally has longer arms than him, so he doesn't care about Ichinokura's tackles, changes his hand to dribble, puts him on the other side of the ball, and continues to advance.

Ichinokura made a gambling steal and was passed by Mizuno, but he was not discouraged and turned around to continue grabbing.

Sakuragi watched Mizuno being forced to rob continuously, and approached to respond.

Mizuno made a pass, and Ichikura was fooled and stepped into the gap between the two.

Mizuno's arms were stretched out, but he still pulled the ball back, and changed hands in front of him to break through.

As a big forward, Kawada had no choice but to pull the edge to defend, afraid that Mizuno would shoot from the outside line and block Mizuno when he just entered the three-point line.

Mori took the opportunity to run to the left side of the restricted area, and in the range of Rukawa's activities, he opened his hand to ask for the ball.

Mizuno faked a shot to pick up Okawada and then crossed to the center of the court.

Maori caught the ball and raised it to throw, but the figure next to him flashed, but it was Zebei who came over and wanted to give him a hot pot.

Maori didn't rush to make a move, with a flick of his wrist, the ball fell behind him.

Rukawa took a copy of the trend, took a step to the bottom line, and scored 2 points with a jump shot. Zebei, who was guarding him, just ran over to prevent Maori, and he didn't have time to turn back.

Zebei just shouted that he would not give Rukawa a comfortable chance to shoot, and it didn't take long for Rukawa to enter a vacant position, his face was very unsightly, and he looked very active in the next attack, and frequently reached out to Fukatsu to ask for the ball.

Fukatsu didn't know that Zebei was the sharpest weapon on his side. Last year, when Zebei was in the first grade, he killed all sides in various competitions and had few opponents. Whether it is Xiangyang's Mitsui Shou, or Hakata's Ken Hoshino, or Lingnan's Sendo Akira, there is no way to limit Zebei's score, at most they explode with him. The reason why Fukatsu didn't pass the ball to Zebei for a long time was because he was with this Sakuragi. He had a feeling that as long as the ball was passed to Zebei, it would definitely be intercepted by Sakuragi.

Sawakita dragged Rukawa and ran from the left side of the court to the right, and Fukatsu saw an opportunity to send the ball to Ichikura first, and then through Ichikura to hoist the ball to Oekada.

Kawada jumped up to take the ball, and his huge body prevented Mori from reaching out and landing on the ground, so he threw the ball horizontally.

At this moment, Zebei suddenly turned back, got rid of the shadowy Rukawa, and then jumped with his right foot, received a pass from Okawada in mid-air, and finally wildly slammed into the basket.

Zebei is usually bullied by the monster-like Okawada because of the large number of female fans, and he is always made to tears, but when it comes to tacit understanding, the one who can cooperate with him the most in the team is Okawada, and even Fukatsu, who is a full-time pass assist, is one line behind.

The key to the ball just now is to be fast, so fast that it can't keep up with Rukawa's explosive power, and so fast that it can't be stopped with Akagi's defensive prediction. There were no words and gestures between Zebei and Okada, and it was purely by eye contact that this wonderful cooperation was completed.

Seeing the two aces of the Mountain King join forces, their fans cheered, but Sakuragi immediately made them dumb with a three-point shot.

Simple, straightforward, Sakuragi just took advantage of the height difference with Fukatsu, completely ignored his defense, and threw the ball in at the top of the arc.

It was the turn of the fans in Xiangbei to cheer. The previous record of beating the opponent with a score of more than 100 in several consecutive games has also gathered a lot of new fans for Xiangbei. Now cheering for Xiangbei on the sidelines is no longer only the supporters of Noma Takamiya, Rukawa Ming and other Kanagawa teams who came with the team, but also fans from all over the country who like Xiangbei's offensive style of play and want to see the new force defeat the traditional giants.

Taking advantage of the time to serve, the three giants of the mountain king got together and had a brief exchange.

Fukatsu said helplessly: "I'm in trouble." That Sakuragi's style of play was very restrained and I felt that he could score on my head if he wanted to. It's the first time I've seen such a tall two-way guard. ”

Okada nodded and said, "This red-haired kid is very difficult to deal with. If it's a pure shooter like Hidetoku's Midorima, he can also rely on blocking the point guard to keep him from getting the ball. But this kid is a point guard himself, and he doesn't lack the ball, which is difficult. ”

Zebei proposed: "Shall we launch a full-court press, grab him so that he can't pass the half, and break his mentality first?" ”

Fukatsu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not, it's still too early." Also, Sakuragi's dribbling center of gravity is very low, and his skills are not inferior to mine, so even if Ichinokura and I go to grab it, we may not be able to grab it. ”

If you don't come up with a plan, the three-person meeting will be over, and if you don't do well defensively, then do a good job of attacking first, and leave tactics to the coach to consider.
