Chapter 43: The Second Battle of the Round-robin Tournament, Xiangyang (2)

Mitsui Shou dribbled the ball unhurriedly, Sakuragi retreated to the center line to stop, tried to pull the ball, unsuccessfully, Mitsui changed hands and sent the ball to Mizuzenji at the top of the right arc.

After seeing the passing skills of Suizenji in the previous round, Ki Twilight defended aggressively and forced Suizenji to pass the ball further forward to Takano.

Takano was forced out of the restricted area by Maori, turned around with the ball, looked at the position that was not far from the three-point line, and helplessly beckoned Suizenji to come closer.

Under the tutelage of Coach Anzai, Xiangyang's two high school forwards, Hanagata and Takano, are both capable of mid-range shooting. However, the mid-range shot of almost three points, Gao Ye was not sure.

After watching the video of the battle between Xiangbei and Hainan, Fuji Zhen and Mitsui spoke highly of Xiangbei and directly said that Xiangbei this year is Xiangyang's biggest opponent.

Although Gao Ye was a little skeptical about this, he didn't think that Xiangbei, who was still the belly of the fish in the semifinals last year, could compete with Xiangyang now, but he was still quite convinced by Fujima and Mitsui, so the attitude of the game was still very serious, and he didn't want to make a move.

After Shuiqian Temple got the ball back, there was still nothing to do.

Xiangbei's lineup today is defensive, and the three people with the best external single defense ability are currently on the court.

Mitsui regained control of the ball at the top of the three-point arc. He looked left and right, and there were no good chances for Suizenji and Enomoto, and the inside line Takano and Hanagata were running in different positions.

Sakuragi didn't know the changes behind him, he mainly defended against Mitsui's projection, and didn't care about Mitsui's pass. After Mitsui's ball was passed, Sakuragi didn't turn back for the first time, but first observed Mitsui's next move and ran with him.

However, a whistle interrupted the entanglement between the two, and the referee shouted: "Two points!" RED Team Foul 12! Green team plus a free throw! ”

Sakuragi looked back in surprise, but saw Maori looking aggrieved and raised his hand helplessly.

Akagi put his big hand on Maori's head and comforted: "The awareness of supplemental defense is good, just be careful next time." After saying this, Akagi said with a little anger to Hanagata, who stood at the free throw line: "What kind of ability is it to bully juniors? Hanagata, have you been reduced to the point where you can only play tricks? ”

Hanagata straightened the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and replied with a bit of ridicule at the corner of his mouth: "Since Akagi is so anxious, then I will defeat you first and take the reputation of Kanagawa's first center!" ”

Akagi snorted coldly in response, and didn't say anything more.

The referee saw that they were star players in the county, and did not directly give a technical foul, but first gave a verbal warning, if any side still did not forgive, it would be really unkind.

Obviously, both Akagi and Hanagata are old rivers and lakes, and the degree of provocation is well grasped, so they are all in moderation.

However, after these words, Maori's mentality stabilized, and he stood in his position, waiting for the rebound that would appear after Hanagata might not be able to shoot.

The game had just begun, and Hanagata didn't make much of a fuss about this free throw, and threw it directly.

6-2。

The whole Xiangbei team was very relieved about Sakuragi's ball, and the hula scattered separately, all running towards Xiangyang's half, while Xiangyang's side was Takano and Hanagata, standing on the restricted area line, one left and one right, and did not keep an eye on Akagi and Maori one by one, and Suizenji guarded Mu Dusk, while Enomoto suddenly rushed out from the side of Shakura and forced Sakuragi with Mitsui and the two.

Sakuragi dribbled the ball with one hand, and it seemed that he was blocked by Mitsui and couldn't move forward, but at the moment when Enomoto's hand was about to touch the ball, he suddenly sent the ball from his crotch to his body, and then suddenly started and forcibly wiped Mitsui.

Although Mitsui is also tall and strong, he is a technical stream after all, and the first time he encountered such an extraordinary strange force as Sakuragi, he was completely unable to resist, and one stumbled, crashing into Enoki itself, and both of them temporarily lost the ability to defend.

Five to three, the next score was easy, Sakuragi and Akagi made a match, crossed horizontally in front of Hanagata, and changed hands to pick up the basket.

Hanagata stretched out his hand to block, but Sakuragi's movement speed was faster and his strength was greater, so he took the initiative to lean up and made a foul before making a move.

It was also 2+1 in the account, but the morale of Xiangbei was greatly boosted, and the cheers on the bench were loud.

In the next round, Mitsui passed Enomoto in seconds, Enomoto shook off a gap, and made a quick shot from the outside, but he didn't go in. However, Takano grabbed Maori's head, picked up the rebound, and threw it back to Suizenji, who deceived Mu Twilight with a passing feint and hit the jumper.

Akagi unleashed a long pass under the basket, and Sakuragi strode to catch the ball at the free throw extension line, and folded to the outside line past Mitsui before he could block it, and then stepped up to make a jumper.

The temple ran to the basket before the sand barn, but it was useless.

Sakuragi's basketball shot was like a missile, and it landed in the basket with precision, and the score was exactly right.

Mitsui was prepared for the hardships of this game, patiently organized the attack, and finally found a flaw in a rotation in Xiangbei, suddenly stepped forward, and after receiving the return pass from Shuizenji, he jumped high in the free throw line and dunked.

Sakuragi was distracted by Mitsui's pass in this encounter and couldn't prevent his breakaway.

It's just that it's not enough to come to Sakuragi's level, under the basket in Xiangbei, there is still Akagi defending.

Maori retreated to help Akagi basket the flower shape, Akagi let out a loud roar, and the giant palm covered Mitsui's hand.

Mitsui was in mid-air, but his eyes were still looking at the positions of his teammates around him, and with a flick of his wrist, he threw the ball up to the flank.

On the other side of the basket, Takano was already jumping when Mitsui's wrist was just moving, and when the ball arrived, he pressed the ball from above into the basket with both hands.

At this time, Maori was held up by the flower shape and could not jump.

With a bang, Takano made a heavy buckle, swung twice on the basket, and hurriedly fell.

Xiangbei was not affected by this powerful dunk at all, and launched a counterattack as soon as possible amid the deafening cheers.

Ki Twilight received Sakuragi's ball from outside the three-point line, and made a three-point pull, with a little more force, and the basketball popped up.

Shacang rushed to the basket and was about to jump to get the rebound, but he heard someone behind him shouting "Get out of the way!" ”

Shacang hurriedly dodged sideways, and saw his side's No. 10 lightning cut in, jumped up to catch the ball and dunk into the frame.

Mitsui, who had just chased the arc of the middle circle, could only chase Sakuragi with his eyes and said with emotion: "This kid's physical condition is really good!" ”

Mitsui couldn't defend against Sakuragi's attack, but he also used his skills to make Sakuragi's defense invisible.

Mitsui passed straight to the basket, and the flower basket didn't go in, but he still controlled the basket and passed back to the outside again with a backhand.

Mitsui was about to pass to Enomoto, a three-point shooter who moved sideways, but in the end, he stepped back and threw a three-pointer.

Sakuragi's eyes shrank from his impeccable stance, and although his hands were raised, he blocked Mitsui's vision, but it still didn't have any effect.

Mitsui, who has been assisting his teammates in this game, suddenly used a three-pointer to remind everyone that he is the best scorer on the basketball court!
