The starters of the Shoyo team were Taku Ito at guard No. 9, Shoichi Takano at center forward No. 8, Mitsuru Nagano at forward No. 7, Kazushi Hasegawa at forward No. 6 and Toru Hanagata at center forward No. 5.

As the referee's long whistle sounded, indicating that the game was about to begin, the players on both sides were already in place and standing in their own positions, and the jumping players on both sides were Akagi Gangxian of Xiangbei and Hanagatou of Xiangyang.

Yuji Ou Kusu pointed to the flower shape opposite Akagi Tsuyoshi, and said with some unimaginability: "That bespectacled figure is about the same as a gorilla!" ”

"Orangutans are already the strongest people in Xiangbei! But in terms of appearance, the other party is much more handsome than him. Gao Gongwang said while eating potato chips, his worldview is always not very compatible with others, and the focus of observation is different.

Mito Yohei looked around at the people on the court, and said a little unexpectedly: "Everyone is tall and big, Sakuragi is ordinary compared to them!" ”

"That's right! Four of the five people in Xiangyang are above 190 cm tall. Haruko Akagi's eyes were full of worry.

"Flower-shaped...... Before ......the jump ball started, Xiangyang's support group had already begun to show their strength, and the whole audience was filled with their shouts, and the strong pressure made Akagi Goken a little nervous.

"Wow! Coach Taoka, this cheering voice is so scary! Hikoichi Aida stood in the audience, looking at the passionate audience around him and Xiangyang's support group, he was shocked.

"Because the flower shape is the star of Xiangyang!" Shigeichi Taoka sat in the audience with his hands on his chest, watching the game that was about to start below, and thought to himself, "However, it is the first time that Xiangbei has played in such a noisy cheering sound, and I don't know how much it will be affected psychologically!" ’

Sakuragi Hanamichi saw Akagi Gangxian's nervousness, so he stimulated him and said: "Gorilla, don't be intimidated by their people, they are just louder, not so scary when they are cheering for us, if not, just replace me!" ”

"Get out! Want to take my place, hello a hundred years earlier! Akagi Tsuyoshi was furious when he heard this, and shouted, but his heart was diametrically opposite, and he was no longer nervous at this time, "Thank you, Sakuragi!" ”

"Awesome guy, in just a few words, he soothed Akagi's somewhat impetuous heart!" Kenji Fujima in the audience and Shigeichi Taoka in the audience saw this scene, and they couldn't help but raise their vigilance against Sakuragi Hanamichi again, they already valued Sakuragi Hanamichi very much, and now he showed his hand again, it's not simple.

The basketball was thrown high by the referee, and when the basketball reached the highest point and fell down, Akagi Gangken and Hanagata Toru jumped high at the same time, and Akagi Gangken, who was reminded by Sakuragi Hanamichi, did not be as nervous as in the original book and caused a foul, and the basketball was smoothly slapped away by Akagi Gangken and fell into the hands of Sakuragi Hanamichi.

After receiving the request Sakuragi Hanamichi shouted yes, but he did not pass the ball to Miyagi Ryota and let him organize the attack, but after getting the ball, he quickly dribbled and attacked, and the other players of the Xiangyang team did not react, only Shoichi Takano, who had been staring at Sakuragi Hanamichi, followed, and used his strong body to block Sakuragi Hanamichi's offensive route, but at this time the two had come to the three-point line of Xiangyang's half.

"I'm not going to let you cut in!" Takano Shoichi looked at the red-headed bad boy in front of him a little arrogantly, stared at it seriously, and posed.

"Really?" Sakuragi Hanamichi changed his hand behind him and made an emergency stop, and then threw the ball, Shoichi Takano had been thrown out by inertia at this time, and he didn't have time to defend at all, so he could only wave his hand in vain, and then turned his head to look at the basketball thrown straight into the basket.

Sakuragi Hanamichi shrugged his shoulders, with a cheap and obedient expression, and said with a smile: "Actually, my three-point shot is still good!" ”

"Well done, Sakuragi!" Akagi Tsuyoshi walked forward at this time and clapped his hands with Sakuragi Hanamichi.

At 3:0, Xiangbei took the lead in scoring the first score of the game and won a good start.

The support groups and cheerleaders in Xiangbei also began to explode in an instant!

Sakuragi ...... Sakuragi ......"

"Xiangbei...... Come on......"

It's the turn of the Xiangyang team's offense, Ito Zhuo took the ball through the half, and before he came to Xiangbei's three-point line, Miyagi Ryota had immediately stepped forward to stare at the other party, and the other personnel were the same, Ito Zhuo did not force the attack, but came to a quick left pass from behind, passed the ball to Shoichi Takano close to the inner line of Xiangbei, and then immediately ran forward to catch the ball passed back by Shoichi Takano, and just about to make a move, he saw that Ryota Miyagi had come to him, Ito Zhuo looked at the position of his teammates on the field, Then a high pass, taking advantage of his height, flew the ball over the head of Ryota Miyagi and passed to Toru Hanagata, who had a good position on the inside.

Then the flower shape of the pass was straight to Akagi Gangxian without flinching, and jumped directly high. Akagi Gangxian also immediately jumped up to defend, but Akagi Gangxian in mid-air only felt that Hanagato, who was also in mid-air, was getting farther and farther away from him, and finally broke away from his defensive circle, and Hanagata Toru also threw the ball smoothly because of this, forming a perfect arc and flying to the basket, and the basketball entered the basket hollow at the same time as Akagi Gangken and Hanagata landed, which is a backward shot.

With the score of Huaxingtou, Xiangyang's support group also began to exert its might! There was a noisy but regular shout from the arena: "Flower shape...... Flower ......"

"He's jumping back! That's a step-back jumper! Hikoko Aida, who was really filming the game in the audience, couldn't help but shout in shock when he saw this scene.

"It's a lot, but it's not enough! Sakuragi's leaning back is much more terrifying than his......" Shigeru Kooka was also a little surprised when he saw this scene, but then he thought of Sakuragi Hanamichi being pulled out from time to time, so he returned to his original state, and then he thought, "Akagi, Hanagata, and the three of us on our team, this game is the first battle to determine which of the three of them will be the first center in the prefecture, but this game is ......"

It was Xiangbei's turn to attack, and Miyagi Ryota took the ball to Xiangyang's half......

"Coach, Xiangyang's defensive tactics are half-court man-to-man tactics?" While recording the game, Aida asked the coach next to him.

Shigeichi Taoka didn't just come out and saw Shoyang's battle plan at a glance, "No! It should be said that it is a man-to-man tactic close to the area, you see that they have not been to the outfield, they are just deployed on the inside. ”

When Aida Hiko heard this, he took a closer look at the arena and said, "Sure enough, if they are gathered together at their height, Akagi-senpai and Sakuragi-senpai will have a hard time, and the inside line will be difficult to break!" ”

"Even if you only consider the height of the opponent, Xiangbei has to pay twice as much physical strength as usual." Shigeru Taoka began by explaining the advantages of the Shoyo team's use of this tactic, "Whether it is passing or shooting, the opponent will not be able to use the usual method because of his stature. It's the same in defense, where you can usually block with just your hands up, but now you can't do it without jumping. There is no doubt that the average height of Xiangyang is the first in the county!! ”

At this moment, Rukawa Kaede made a high-altitude pass on the field, and when he was about to pass the ball to Akagi Goken, he was intercepted by No. 7 Nagano Mitsuno!

"That's it! High air passes are no longer feasible!! But how will Xiangbei, whose height is not as good as its opponent, deal with it? Hikoichi, you are relatively short, you should look at it well, it will be very useful to you in the future! Seeing this, Shigeichi Ooka immediately taught Hikoichi Aida by word and deed.

"Yes!!"

"Well intercepted!!" Hanagata shouted.

"Don't mind, go back to the defense to stop them from shooting!!" Seeing this, Mu Dui Gongyan, who was sitting in the reserve seat, hurriedly shouted, trying to boost the morale of Xiangbei.

Needless to say, Sakuragi Hanamichi had already rushed to the front of No. 8 Shoichi Takano who caught the interception, looking at the infinite defense, Shoichi Takano chose to pass, but just when Shoichi Takano shifted his attention to observe the running position of his teammates on the field, and then just about to pass the ball out, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was staring at him, instantly shot and copied the ball that had not yet flown out in his hand.

Then Sakuragi Hanamichi took advantage of Shoichi Takano before he could react, and he bypassed Shoichi Takano in one and a half turns, took the ball straight to Xiangyang's basket, crossed the free throw line and jumped high, and at this time, Xiangyang's players, whether it was Shoichi Takano who was catching up after reacting, or other players who were in Xiangyang outside the midline or three-point line, couldn't stop Sakuragi Hanamichi from scoring at all, and could only watch Sakuragi Hanamichi easily dunk the ball into the basket.
