Chapter 16: Equaliser

In the locker room, Sakuragi Hanamichi was wearing his own jersey, No. 10, tied his shoelaces, pushed open the door of the locker room, and walked in the direction of Coach Mitsuyoshi Anzai, while Akagi Tsuyoshi and they were already waiting on the side. At this time, Coach Mitsuyoshi Anzai had already called a timeout, and it was just time to change Sakuragi Hanamichi to play.

"You bastard! Didn't I tell you you not to be late? What's going on with you? Seeing Sakuragi Hanami come out, Akagi Gangxian stepped forward and punched him on the head.

"Hmm...... Gorilla, you are so hateful, hit me as soon as you come! Sakuragi Hanamichi was caught off guard by Akagi Gangken, the eldest brother, and if it weren't for the fact that he and Akagi Haruko had confirmed their relationship, the original approach would be to fight back.

"This is a lesson for you, see if you dare to ignore my words next time!" Akagi Goken's face was full of a look of course.

"What a fool!" Rukawa Kaede saw the picture of Sakuragi Hanamichi being taught a lesson by Akagi Gangken, and gave an evaluation.

"Anyway, I'm only so late, and you guys were beaten 19:0, isn't it too miserable? Sure enough, I still need a genius like me to save the day! Haha...... "Sakuragi Hanamichi first ridiculed everyone, and then praised himself, didn't he know that his words offended the terrible guy."

"Bang!" Sakuragi Hanamichi's head grew a big bag again, and his legs were still shaking when he fell to the ground, Akagi Gangxian blew into his fist, and secretly said in his heart, call you cheap!

"Okay, you gorilla, even if you are my eldest brother, I will still beat you!" Sakuragi Hanamichi is a carp fight, and when he comes up, he is about to PK with Akagi Gangxian, but fortunately he was stopped by everyone.

"You idiot! Who is your eldest brother, if you are talking nonsense, be careful that I will beat you! Akagi Gangxian also rolled up his cuffs, looking like he was not afraid of you when he came.

Seeing this, Inoue Ayako hurriedly went up to dissuade her.

Seeing this scene, Haruko Akagi, who was in the distance, couldn't help but cover her blushing face with her hands, and thought to herself that this guy and her brother were messing around again.

This farce was finally quelled by Coach Mitsuyoshi Anzai, who finally let Sakuragi Hanamichi replace Yasuharu Tsunoda as a point guard according to the state of each personnel at the time of play.

Shigeichi Tian Oka looked at the fight on the side of the Xiangbei team, and couldn't help but think in his heart who this red-haired boy was, and there was no relevant information, so he couldn't help but treat him as an ordinary member, and the main focus was on Rukawa Kaede and Akagi Gangxian.

When the time for the timeout came, the players from Xiangbei and Lingnan went on their respective courts.

Sakuragi Hanamichi controlled the ball, came to Lingnan's half, stretched out his index finger to the players and said, "We are going to score this goal!" ”

That confident appearance made Lingnan's immortal Dao Zhang pay more attention.

Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at the defense in front of him and smiled slightly, then lowered his center of gravity, swayed left and right with the ball, a feint to the left, and immediately made Uekusa Tomoyuki lose his center of gravity, Sakuragi Hanamichi immediately pulled out a three-point dry hand, that elegant and smooth movement, and no one obstructed the line of sight caused the fast-spinning basketball to be thrown out of a perfect arc.

Everyone present was staring at the ball closely, the Lingnan team hoped that it would hit the iron, and the Xiangbei team hoped that it would ......

"Huh!" The basketball hollow into the net scored, this was the first time the Xiangbei team scored since they came on the court, and this 3-point shot instantly raised the morale of the Xiangbei team.

"Wow! Sakuragi-san! Haruko Akagi couldn't help but see that Sakuragi Hanamichi had scored points for the team as soon as she came on the field, and her eyes couldn't help but light up.

It was Lingnan's turn to attack, Zhicao Zhizhi took the ball to the half of Xiangbei, and before he had time to watch the formation in the field, he was blocked in front of Sakuragi Hanamichi, a stunned, the ball was also robbed by Sakuragi Hanamichi, Sakuragi Hanamichi took the ball straight to Lingnan's half, and the whole team of Lingnan returned to defense, but only Xiandao Akira could keep up with the pace of Sakuragi Hanamichi.

Sakuragi Hanamichi came to the three-second forbidden area and didn't want to jump directly, ready to have a slam dunk, but at this time Xiandao Akira also arrived, jumped up to defend, Sakuragi Hanamichi grinned when he saw this, Xiandao Akira was stunned, Sakuragi Hanamichi instantly recovered the basketball that was going to be poured out, and then from the side of Xiandao Zhang's jump defense loophole, hook ball score! The two landed on the court and looked at each other, and Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes immediately separated and ran back to prepare for defense.

"Wow~ This is incredible!"

"That redhead scored 5 points in a row as soon as he came on the court, he's so good!"

"Xiangbei!! Xiangbei!! ”

Again it was Lingnan's turn to attack.

Tomoyuki Uekusa passed the ball to Ikegami, who was exposed, not that he didn't pass it to Akira Sendo, but that Akira Sendo was now entangled by Rukawa Kaede, and there was a fierce Sakuragi Hanamichi staring at him in front of him, and if he was not careful, a mistake would occur.

Ikegami, who received the ball, ignored the obstacle of Mu Du Gongyan, and forced a jump shot, but because of the interference of Mu Du Gongyan, the ball was missed, and this time the rebounding Yu Sumijun failed to take advantage of Akagi Gangken, Akagi Gangxian grabbed the ball and threw it in the direction of the Lingnan half, and shouted: "Fast attack!! ”

Receiving the ball is still standing on the outside line of Sakuragi Hanamichi, Sakuragi Hanamichi came to the three-second penalty area and directly came to a windmill slam dunk, which suddenly exploded the audience, and the audience shouted regardless of friend or foe:

"Sakuragi!! Sakuragi!! ”

……

"What the hell are you guys doing?" Lingnan's coach Tian Oka Shigeru was angry, "Don't shoot indiscriminately, don't hear it, and you ......"

The Lingnan team attacked again.

Kokumi Hongming was about to break through with the ball, but he heard the sound of Yuzhu Jun asking for the ball, so he passed the ball to Yuzhu Jun. Jun Uozumi followed the ball and singled Akagi Gangken, wanting to force a breakthrough layup, but was defended by Akagi Gangken, so he had no chance to shoot at all.

Soon three seconds passed, and Jun Usumi's ball was never thrown and was awarded a three-second foul.

"Ahh The form seems to have reversed because of the addition of Sakuragi! Gao Gongwang pointed to the imposing Xiangbei team and said to the three people around him.

"The monsters in Xiangbei are not inferior to the monsters in Lingnan!" This is a statement made by Yohei Mito, talking about Akagi Goken and Uozumi Jun.

"That's amazing! But I still don't believe he's Haruko's older brother. Yuji Ohsumi said.

"That's right!" Tadaichiro Noma agreed.

"Your brother is amazing!" Matsui, who was beside Haruko Akagi, also praised him like this.

"Haha, huh?" Haruko Akagi scratched the back of her head with some embarrassment.

"Worthy of the captain!!" Fujii also said without hesitation.

……

The attack of the Xiangbei team.

Sakuragi Hanamichi rushed through the defense line with the ball, passed the ball to the unguarded Shiozaki Tetsushi, Shiozaki Tetsushi couldn't make a jump shot, Akagi Goken resisted Usumi Jun and grabbed the rebound first, and then jumped up to shoot, but then was disturbed by Uozumi Jun who jumped up to defend, and the basketball hit the iron out, and Rukawa Kaede took advantage of the fact that the ball had not fallen and went directly up to make up for the dunk, and poured the iron ball into the basket.

From Sakuragi Hanamichi to the present, the Xiangbei team has played a 9:0 small ** and recovered a lot of disadvantages.

In the next game, the two sides went back and forth, but the attack of the Lingnan team also began to change, and Xiandao became an organizational defender, leading the team to score frequently and rarely make mistakes.

The Xiangbei team has a true pass from Ervin Johnson - Sakuragi Hanamichi who has the eye-catching pass to lead the team to chase closely.

Carefully directing his teammates to settle down, Xiandao Akira suddenly found that it seemed that at this time, the players of the Xiangbei team were the only one who was most sure of the scoring point was Sakuragi Hanamichi.

Although there is also a Akagi Goken on the inside, and Rukawa Kaede can also score repeatedly, they don't have the sharp attack like Sakuragi Hanamichi, and as the interior defense of the Lingnan team begins to shrink, there is no good way. As early as when Sakuragi Hanamichi played a role, Sendo Akira was arranged by Coach Shigeichi Taoka to play against Sakuragi Hanamichi, because his idea was that as long as Sakuragi Hanamichi's assists and goals were intercepted, then the Xiangbei team would not be able to attack like before.

In the face of Akira Sendo's defense, Sakuragi Hanamichi did not play strongly, but handed the basketball into the hands of Rukawa Kaede, because he faced the defense of Tomoyuki Uekusa, and Rukawa Kaede stepped forward to dribble the ball without hurrying.

Right now!

Rukawa Kaede suddenly rushed forward at this moment, his body was as swift as lightning, and he galloped away while Uekusa Zhizhi's reaction was not timely.

Tomoyuki Uekusa only felt empty in front of him, and immediately understood what was happening, and then he saw the back of Rukawa Kaede who had gone away.

After Rukawa Kaede reached the free throw line in an instant, he rushed into the inside, and Usumi Jun, who was chasing him back to defend, felt that he should do something for the team, so he jumped up against Rukawa Kaede when he rushed into the inside, and a pair of long arms went under his cover.

Looking at the blocked basket, Rukawa Kaede used his outstanding waist and abdomen ability, air retention ability and familiarity with basketball and baskets to push the ball into the sky with the last trace of strength.

The basketball rose higher and higher in the eyes of the crowd, and then bounced on the rebound and fell into the frame.

The score of the two teams became 52:52, and the Xiangbei team finally equalized before the end of the first half.
