Chapter 18: The First Victory in Xiangbei

At 91:88, there were still more than 2 minutes left in the game, and the difference of 3 points was nothing.

Hanamichi Sakuragi is now a point guard, and he can make amazing passes, but if he wants to score, there are definitely few people who can defend him!

Hanamichi Sakuragi lowered his center of gravity, and he dribbled with one hand, his eyes searching for every opportunity on the court that could be exploited!

Akagi and Uozumi are desperately scrambling for positions on the inside, neither of them wanting to admit defeat in such a direct conversation, and the two non-humans (orangutan and ape) are entangled in the three-second zone as if they are practicing wrestling. Sakuragi Hanamichi didn't plan to pass the ball to Akagi Gangken like this, because of the strict defense of the current Lingnan team, the current inside line is not easy to play!

Akagi Goken basically has no offensive ability when he doesn't find a gap! Rukawa Kaede was also stared at by Akira Sendo, and the two of them were running around the court.

Pass it to whom? Or do you want to go it alone?

Sakuragi Hanamichi suddenly turned around, and when he turned around, he took a quick step forward. Although there was only one step, Sakuragi Hanamichi squeezed Ikegami behind him, so that there was no defender in front of him! Want to shoot?

Ikegami knew that things were not going well the moment Sakuragi Hanamichi turned around, and it was difficult for him to block Sakuragi's shot when Sakuragi Hanamichi used his body to block him.

Seeing this, Tomoyuki Uekusa immediately left Mu Dui Gong to come up to make up for the defense, and Sakuragi Hanamichi made a feint to shoot, but he didn't make a move. His shooting action was just to deceive the attention of the Lingnan players, and to divide the manpower to resist his attack, so as to create a vacancy, and sure enough, at this time, there was a vacancy in Mu Du Gongyan, and the basketball in Sakuragi Hanamichi's hand had instantly come to the hands of one person!

Mu Du Gongyan received the basketball when everyone didn't expect it. Tomoyuki Uekusa, who was supposed to defend him, missed him because he was attracted to Sakuragi Hanamichi! So Mu Du Gongyan got a chance to shoot from mid-range!

Konobu Ki did not disappoint Sakuragi Hanamichi and steadily threw the ball into the basket. 91:91, the score was equalized by Xiangbei again!

……

Facing the slightly nervous Mu Du Gongyan, Xian Dao Chang changed direction in front of his body to dribble, and after the basketball came to his left hand, he instantly received a back hand, and the basketball came to his right hand. After that, Xiandao Zhang's body instantly tilted to his right, and he was about to make a breakthrough!

Rukawa Kaede had already blocked the right side of Sendo Akira in advance, and Sendo Zhang's breakthrough didn't seem to work.

But at the moment when Rukawa Kaede's center of gravity completely shifted to the right of Xiandao Zhang, Xiandao Akira changed direction again, and at the moment of changing hands, Xiandao Akira had already broken through to his left!

And Rukawa Kaede had completely lost his defensive position at this time, and Xiandao Akira had just taken a step and had already passed him, and when he turned around, only a big No. 7 jersey was left, remaining in his sight.

Xiandao Akira passed Rukawa Kaede, and in an instant he had already come to the free throw line, and Akagi Tsuyoshi on the inside line didn't expect him to be able to break through so easily, and he didn't have time to pounce on the defense for a while.

Xiandao Akira dodged Akagi Gangxian who pounced too fiercely, and then stepped heavily on the ground, and then his body rose into the air, and he grabbed the ball with his right hand and slammed it against the basket!

……

Now it's changed to Xiandao Akira to stare at Sakuragi Hanamichi, Sakuragi Hanamichi uses his body to lean against Xiandao Zhang, so that he can't go to basketball! And then thinking about how to solve this guy in front of him!

Sendo Akira's defense is to block Sakuragi Hanamichi's attack, although no one can really block the opponent, but the longer you can hold the opponent, the more powerful it will be on your side, isn't it? In addition, the whole team can prevent the breakthrough of Sakuragi Hanamichi with his own speed!

Dry pull! Sakuragi Hanamichi, turned around and suddenly jumped high and made a shooting motion!

Xiandao Akira's center of gravity naturally fluctuates a little, because his focus is to defend Sakuragi Hanamichi's shooting, so Sakuragi Hanamichi's shooting action, he immediately provoked a block or interference, but the defense itself is one step slower, coupled with Sakuragi Hanamichi's jumping ability and sudden jump, so that Xiandao Akira was not able to stop Sakuragi Hanamichi's dry pull-out jumper.

"Huh!" The sound of the goal was still crisp and clean.

……

Time passed in this way in the back and forth between the two sides, and now there are 28 seconds left before the end of the game, Lingnan's ball possession, and the current score is 96:97, during which Xiandao Zhang shot a three-pointer, resulting in Xiangbei now falling behind Lingnan by a one-point gap.

Now Lingnan is not in a hurry to attack, because they have the advantage now, and their task is to drag through those 28 seconds.

Several people passed the ball to each other, but they just didn't attack, and the people of the Xiangbei team immediately pressed up.

"There's no time, let's push it harder! You need to strengthen the pressure!! Push it up!! Inoue Ayako looked at the time and shouted at Akagi and the others.

When Sakuragi Hanamichi heard this, he also felt that there was not much time left, the game was about to end, and he didn't want to lose, because this was the first practice match, and there was a special task in him, and besides, the original Sakuragi Hanamichi and Lingnan played the practice match and lost by one point, and now he is not known how many times stronger than in the original book, if he still loses, then he is too sorry for himself, sorry for the system.

Thinking of this, Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes immediately became smart, looking at the few people who were still passing, looking for their passing mistakes, ready to intercept the ball at any time.

"Uekusa" was so tightly guarded by Mu Dui Gongyan that Ikegami couldn't do it.,Passed the ball in the direction of Uekusa Tomoyuki.,And the person who defended Uekusa Tomoyuki was really Sakuragi Hanamichi.,He saw an opportunity.,He came to Uekusa Tomoyuki's side with an arrow step.,Take the ball in your hand first.。

"Rukawa!" Sakuragi Hanamichi made a long pass directly, and passed the ball steadily to Rukawa Kaede, who was already running towards the basket in the direction of Lingnan, and then rushed over himself, ready to support Rukawa Kaede at any time.

Rukawa Kaede took the ball and ran as fast as he could, and when he was about to reach the penalty area, Sendo Akira had already caught up, and he came to Rukawa Kaede's side and said to Rukawa Kaede: "I won't let you shoot!" After saying that, Rukawa Kaede didn't pay attention to it and slapped the ball in Rukawa Kaede's hand.

"Bastard!!" Rukawa Kaede scolded secretly, jumped out of a step to grab the ball in his hand, but he had no way to get rid of Xiandao Akira in the air, let alone shoot, but then he saw that there was his teammate behind him, no matter who it was, and he threw the ball over. Seeing this, Xiandao Akira secretly said that it was bad, but at this time, he who was vacating with Rukawa Kaede had no way to stop him.

"Well passed! Rukawa! It was Sakuragi Hanamichi who received the ball, and he yelled, then jumped high and made a two-handed windmill dunk in the air.

Power, bounce! This buckle of Sakuragi Hanamichi has reached a limit! His head has gone beyond the basket, and his sheer strength makes the basketball hoop tremble!

"Bang!"

Naturally, Sakuragi Hanamichi's wonderful performance was cheered by the audience.

"It's in!!"

"Ikebana!!"

“yeah!!”

"Defeat turned into victory!!"

At this time, there were only 2 seconds left before the game time, and Lingnan had no chance to turn over, and finally 98:97, Xiangbei narrowly defeated Lingnan by one point and won the game.

……

At the end of the game, players from both sides lined up to say goodbye.

Outside the gymnasium of the basketball club of Lingnan High School.

"Thank you! Mr. Tagaoka! Akagi Goken and Shigeru Taoka shook hands and said their final goodbyes.

"Akagi-san, it's only been a year, but you're already impressive, it's really amazing. From now on, no! See you in the preliminaries of the national competition! Although they lost the game, the ability of the Xiangbei team at this time was indeed several times stronger than before, and I had to convince Shigeichi Taoka a little.

"Yes!" Akagi just answered, and he was about to leave.

At this time, Yuzumi Jun stepped forward and stopped him, "Akagi! In the preliminaries of the national competition, I will definitely win! You have to keep it in mind! As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and held it tightly with Akagi Goken......

……

Sakuragi Hanamichi didn't go back with the army, because he came to Lingnan on a bicycle, although he could move the bicycle into the tram, but with Haruko Akagi willing to ride his bicycle back with him, he could take the opportunity to be alone with Haruko Akagi, and there was no light bulb, so why not? As for how Haruko Akagi got rid of her two best friends and his brother, she has her own way.

In this way, as the sun set, a bicycle and two figures, one pedaling a bicycle and one shouting refueling, and the laughter and laughter along the way continued......
