When the competition resumed, the first-year newcomers immediately felt the difference in the senior team after Maki came on the court.

When attacking, Maki is not a traditional center forward. He has a lot of range of motion and can even pull near the three-point line to shoot.

Akagi's footsteps are in the center, which can be regarded as flexible, but in front of Maki, it is still not enough to see. If you don't follow the defense, with the height of Hotta and Shakura, you can't prevent Maki's shooting at all on the front line, and if you follow the defense, even if you are not blocked and dismantled by Ishii, you can't keep up with the pace of Maki's cut, and you are easily killed by Maki to the basket to get what you want.

In the face of Maki's defense, Akagi, who is mainly playing the basket, encountered an unprecedented predicament.

Compared to strength, the talented Akagi is not weaker than Maki in the slightest, but under the strong power confrontation, Akagi's technical movements begin to lose shape, and he needs more adjustment moves than usual to make a move. And in the midst of this slight adjustment, Maki relied on his rich experience to see the direction and angle of Akagi's shot, and a pair of big hands sealed all of Akagi's scoring paths like a net.

Akagi didn't believe in evil at first, so he forcibly attacked.

For the first time, Maki rewarded him with a sturdy sturdy cap.

The second time, Akagi turned around in a different direction, and just turned to the front of the basket, and before he could jump up and shoot, the ball in his hand had already been poked out by Maki.

Akagi, who missed consecutive shots, was a little depressed, but quickly adjusted his mood and threw himself into defense. When it came time to attack, he also changed his style of play, and after attracting Maki's attention, he returned the ball to Shakura or Takei and let them shoot on the perimeter.

After Sakura came on the court with Maki, his scoring efficiency was greatly affected.

The senior team's current inside line is Maki and Ishii, and the two have no defects in height or defensive skills, and when they join forces, they are far from being comparable when Kawabe is on the field.

With these two big inside lines, Shacang rushed into the inside line purely self-throwing, and could only swing outside for long throws, under Yanagisawa's defense, his position was far and far, and the rhythm was not the most comfortable for him, he threw three in a row, but none of them entered.

The scoring pressure of the first-year team was all on Wu Dai at once.

Kuroda seems to understand that in the next year, the person who threatens his position in the team the most is Wu Dai, so he changed his attitude and began to spare no effort in both offensive and defensive positions.

Kuroda, who is serious, still has a certain level, after all, he has been under Suzuki for three years, in addition to a good mid-range shot, the pace of defense is also very good.

Suddenly, Wu Dai's side was also close to a dumb fire, if it weren't for the cover of Mizuno and Shakura, he would not have been able to score a single goal.

After another five or six minutes of play, the score was 44-18, and the senior team had a large lead.

Suzuki saw through the court, the level of the newcomers, the progress of the old man, he knew that it would not be beneficial for the newcomers to play any longer, and was about to stop the game, and ran through the door of the basketball hall.

Seeing that bright red, Suzuki changed his mind, beckoned Sakuragi to his side, and asked, "Did you come running?" ”

Sakuragi said succinctly: "Yes." ”

Suzuki asked again, "Let's go up and fight now, okay?" ”

Sakuragi grinned and said, "Of course." ”

Suzuki patted him on the back and said with a smile: "Then let's go on, play small forward." ”

Sakuragi reached for the neckline, and with a pull of the zipper, he untied his jacket, revealing the white training clothes inside.

Sakuragi dropped his coat on the empty chair next to him and was about to walk to the field when he heard Momoi shout "Wait", stopped, and looked over suspiciously.

Momoi threw away a small red vest and said with a smile: "You help the red team, don't recognize the wrong teammates." ”

Sakuragi nodded, put on his vest, and stood on the sidelines.

When Sakuragi was wearing a vest representing the freshman team and standing on the sidelines, the faces of the seniors became serious.

In terms of qualifications, the three third-graders are the same year as Sakuragi, and in terms of strength, except for the captain Maki, there is no one in the Xiangbei team who can compete with him one-on-one.

Seeing that Sakuragi was replaced by Shakura, Yanagisawa's face turned white, and he said with a dry smile: "Ikebana, be merciful to your subordinates!" ”

Sakuragi didn't answer, glanced at the scoreboard, and shook his head slightly, which was considered a response.

Yanagisawa didn't expect Sakuragi to release the water, so he turned around and shouted, "Cheer up!" ”

Mizuno looked at Sakuragi, leaned over and asked, "Are you, Sakuragi Hanamichi in Likai Province?" ”

Sakuragi looked at Mizuno, his eyes changed slightly, nodded slightly in acknowledgement, and then said lightly: "I recognize you, you are Mizuno of Takeshi." Are your feet healed? ”

Mizuno's face turned cold, but he didn't expect Sakuragi to reveal his scars. Last year's injury was due to the physical exertion of the fast-attacking madmen Miyagi and Sakuragi in the match between Takeshi and Tatsumi, and finally he was overwhelmed and sprained his ankle, causing him to miss all the remaining games.

Yanagisawa heard that something was wrong, and immediately came up to play a round and said, "Sakuragi, he can't speak, in fact, he doesn't mean anything else, so he just asks about your situation." ”

Mizuno thought that he and Sakuragi had no other intersection except for the same game once, and the two had no stakes, and it didn't look like he was deliberately provoking when he looked at his calm face, so he accepted Yanagisawa's statement and replied, "It's already good." ”

Sakuragi still said in a flat tone, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, "That's good." Pass me the ball and we'll equalise first. ”

Mizuno was startled, thinking he had misheard. After playing for more than ten minutes, he already has a preliminary and impressive understanding of the level of high school basketball, and knows how big the gap between himself, as well as Akagi and Wu Dai, who are not bad at the same level, and high school students.

That 44-18 scoreboard has proven it all.

Sakuragi said that leveling the 26-point difference was as ordinary as eating and drinking, which really made Mizuno a little confused.

Sakuragi tilted his head, glanced at Mizuno, and said suspiciously: "It's serving, don't be stunned." Just pass it to me like you did to Mitsui. ”

Mizuno looked at Yanagisawa and the others, who were like a great enemy, and suddenly felt that maybe Sakuragi was not just making a big statement, maybe he really had this ability, and responded with a smile: "Okay, you wait." ”

Mizuno dribbled the ball to the half court and passed back and forth with Wu Dai, and suddenly found that it was much easier to get out of the ball.

If you look closely, it was Sakuragi who was being targeted.

Not only Yanagisawa followed him closely, but Ishii and Kuroda also approached him, and as soon as Sakuragi got the ball, he stepped forward to cover it.

This left both Hotta and Takeyo empty.

Mizuno is not a rigid person, he said that if he cooperated with Sakuragi, he must pass the ball to Sakuragi, and he chose to believe in Wu Dai this time.

By the time Kuroda found himself paying too much attention to Sakuragi and revealing holes in his defense, it was too late.

Woody scored two points on a 45-degree angled jumper.
