Chapter 29: The Capture of Buri (3)
After scoring, the Buri players did not quickly retreat, but suddenly pressed forward the moment Xiangbei sent the ball.
Sakuragi's side, three people suddenly surrounded Kasamatsu, Imamura and Kuse!
Sakuragi didn't notice it at first, so he dribbled sideways to avoid Kasamatsu, and when he looked up, he was looking for someone, when Imamura and Kaseki suddenly popped out in front of him.
Sakuragi's height is enough to beat Kasamatsu, and he was very casual just now, but now in the face of Imamura and Kagose, the new and old aces of Buri, he didn't dare to slack off, and he exerted his strength at the moment, holding the ball with both hands and running straight up.
Huang Se shouted "Don't think" and jumped high, and put his hands on Sakuragi's head, but as soon as Sakuragi's hand was lowered, Huang Se got farther and farther away from the ball.
It turned out that Sakuragi's jump was a feint. He was tall, with his knees all the way up, and his tiptoes gave the illusion that he had jumped up to those who had not looked closely at his feet.
However, this little trick can fool the still a little jerky Kuse, but it can't fool the experienced Imamura.
Imamura approached half a beat slower than Kuse, and then reached out and pressed straight towards the basketball in Sakuragi's hand.
Sakuragi was in danger, flipped his wrist, flicked it again, and threw the ball away against Imamura's direction, then turned sideways and used his other hand to catch the ball that had just been thrown. Sakuragi is very skilled at this hand-changing action, and he has also escaped the pressure of countless opponents in the past, but today, his left hand failed to receive the ball.
The pressure on Sakuragi from Kase and Imamura was so great that he subconsciously ignored that Kasamatsu, who had just been passed, was still behind him.
And Kasamatsu's reaction and action are quite fast, and in the moment when he can't make a move, he destroys Sakuragi's back change of hands and controls the ball into his palm.
The three giants of Buri worked together, and even Sakuragi, whose hoop technology has become more sophisticated, was broken!
Sakuragi's reaction was extremely fast, and before he caught the ball in his left hand, he knew that he was loosened by the Kasa, and immediately turned around and covered it with feeling.
It's just that Kasamatsu's movements were done in one go, and before Sakuragi's big hand covered it, he had already thrown it with a low hand, overtaking the score.
Shakura returned to the baseline and continued to serve, Sakuragi did not wait for Huang Se and others to step forward this time, and immediately returned it to Shakura.
There is Moriyama defending on Shakura's side, but he is not an ordinary defender or three-point shooter, and he is quite sharp when he breaks through, blocking Moriyama on the inside with a turn, and he rushes forward along the sideline.
Moriyama turned around and was not as fast as Shakura, and immediately Shakura got rid of it, but a figure next to him rushed out and chased after him, but it was Imamura, who came to cover the bag according to the predetermined plan, and chased after him.
The whole Buri team did not retreat in order to press in the frontcourt, and the center forward Kobori fell behind.
Kobori was not slow, and immediately moved sideways to intercept Shakura.
Shakura looked up at Kohori and nodded to him suddenly.
Kobori immediately understood that this signal was not for himself, but Akagi, who he had just been staring at, so he spread his hands horizontally in an attempt to affect Shakura's pass. However, his movement somewhat affected the speed of his lateral movement.
However, Shakura suddenly lowered his head and accelerated, and before Kobori could seal him, he crossed his defense.
Imamura was counting on Kobori to stop Shakura, but the result was that Shakura didn't delay at all, and went straight through, so he had to change direction and run under the basket, on the one hand, to prevent Shakura from passing to Akagi, and on the other hand, he was looking forward to Shakura's chance to shoot and maybe grab a rebound.
However, Shacang made a bad move, and after coming to the range where he could shoot, he deliberately slowed down, making the illusion that he was rushing too fast, his steps were messy, and he needed to adjust and shoot again.
Imamura didn't know if it was true or not, but he knew that after the sand warehouse was adjusted, the chance of wanting to lose it would be greatly reduced, so he had to turn to the sand barn again.
Shakura waited until Imamura moved, and immediately threw the basketball high into the middle with both hands. It's just passing, it's not shooting, it's not in the right position, and the accuracy is not in the way at all.
Imamura's footsteps stopped suddenly, and then turned around, but after he continued to exert force and turn, he couldn't jump anymore, so he had to watch Akagi calculate his pace, jump high, catch the basketball in the air, and dunk his hands into the frame.
5-4。 The lead has become Xiangbei again.
Imamura intercepts the ball that lands, quickly retreats to the baseline, and then passes the ball long.
The basketball flew past Akagi's side and landed in Kuse's hands.
Huang Se received the ball and turned around, took half a step forward, and found that he couldn't get rid of Rukawa, and the ball was distributed to Morikawa as soon as possible.
Sakura participated in the attack of the previous round, and like Akagi, before he could come back, Sakuragi stepped forward to block Morikawa.
Morikawa didn't have the idea of challenging Sakuragi, so he left with the ball in his hand and gave it to Kasamatsu.
Sakuragi immediately slid and moved to the key route that Kasamatsu broke through.
Seeing that Sakuragi reacted so quickly, Kasamatsu sent a bullet ball in the opposite direction and sent it to Kuse's running route.
Huang Se still didn't shake off Rukawa, but after receiving the ball, he first dribbled to the left, immediately received a very large change of direction, changed hands to break through to the right, and then before rushing to Sakuragi, he forcibly changed direction and inserted it under the basket.
Neither Akagi nor Mori expected him to be able to break through the outside defense composed of Rukawa and Sakuragi so quickly, and he was slow to wrap up, and he rushed to the basket, jumped in the air with his back to Akagi, dodged Mori's block, and made a layup.
changed direction sharply, and rushed to score between the four elders in Xiangbei in one breath, this feat caused the audience to applaud loudly, and the momentum was amazing.
Rukawa clenched his fists, his eyes blazing.
Sakuragi grinned, full of fighting spirit.
In contrast, the two seniors who were used as background boards were somewhat indifferent. Akagi in the back sent the ball, and Mori took it and hoisted it directly to Sakuragi.
Sakuragi started to wipe Kasamatsu, and when he saw that Kase had gone to follow Rukawa, he passed the ball to Shakura.
Sakura catches the ball, swings to the left, takes a step, and immediately pulls it back, presses Morikawa inside the three-point line, and then returns the ball to Sakuragi.
Sakuragi threw it casually outside the three-point line, and the basketball drew a high-trajectory arc, and some fell into Bururi's basket, making Huang Se, who squeezed Rukawa away and was ready to grab a rebound, disappointed.
Kasamatsu's face turned ugly. Aside from that break, his defense against Sakuragi today was largely ineffective. The height gap was already obvious, and in the previous game, he felt that the difference between the two was even greater in terms of physical fitness. Before Rukawa sent Sakuragi back just now, Kasamatsu was consciously stuck in front of Sakuragi, but he didn't expect that Sakuragi's strength was too great, and the bodies of the two actually touched, and the result was that he was bounced away.
How can this be played?
Kasamatsu, who was completely blown up on the defensive end, tried to play his value in the offense.
In the lineup of Bururi, Imamura, Huangse, Kasamatsu and Morikawa all have the ability to shoot from the middle and long range, and after a pass, Kasamatsu found an opportunity to take advantage of the gap between Morikawa and Sakuragi to shoot from the outside.
Kasamatsu's eagerness to score made an undue mistake in his shot, and the angle of the ball was small, a little lower, and it hit the periphery of the hoop directly and bounced upward.
Akagi jumped high and plucked the ball off. Kobori is not competitive at all when it comes to rebounding.
Akagi passed the ball to Rukawa, and Rukawa strode forward, facing the retreating Kasse, and also came a big change of direction to the European step.
Huang Se's center of gravity was unstable, and he couldn't take a step, and he was immediately cleaned by Rukawa.
Behind Huang Se, it was Imamura who chased him back, and he barely rubbed Rukawa's layup, so that this shot failed.
However, Xiangbei's attack did not end here, Sakuragi followed up and pressed the bounced basketball directly.
10-6。
Xiangbei's score was the first to reach double digits.
