Chapter 402: Rukawa Kaede pulls the bar and makes a backhand layup
Miyagi held the ball past half court, and at this point, Sendo opened up a full two steps with him.
With the height difference between the two, even if Miyagi shoots a three-point shot, I believe that Xiandao can also rely on the advantages of height and arm span to give some interference.
Without hesitation, Miyagi handed the ball to Mitsui.
Compared to last year, Miyagi has matured a lot and is no longer as pushy as last year.
As is customary, the first goal is basically handed over to the core of the team.
Looking at the pool in front of him, Mitsui didn't dare to be careless.
Ikegami's defense is very strong, and the key two are too familiar.
In the face of Ikegami's defense, even if Mitsui is sure to score, he can't guarantee efficiency.
If it was last year, Mitsui would probably call for Akagi to block and dismantle.
This time, it was different, and he chose to pass the ball to Kaede Rukawa to further test the level of this teammate.
Although he also wants to force Yuzhu to play as soon as possible, he knows that it is not realistic, because Lingnan's lineup is really strong.
As soon as he received the basketball, Rukawa Kaede held the ball in both hands and was in a three-threat pose.
"Boy, let the horses come!"
Itakura smiled indescribably, and then hooked his finger at Rukawa Kaede, more or less contemptuous.
He didn't know Rukawa Kaede, but he didn't think that he would be easily defeated by a freshman.
Rukawa Kaede didn't speak, and under the air bangs was a pair of indifferent eyes.
Suddenly, Rukawa Kaede moved without warning.
Itakura was taken aback, and hurriedly moved sideways, subconsciously wanting to confront.
However, at the moment when the two were about to make contact, Rukawa Kaede pulled the basketball and changed direction sharply in advance, seeing that he was about to complete the breakthrough.
Itakura was in a hurry, and he wanted to stop it in a hurry, but the rhythm was disrupted in an instant, and his feet were soft and crooked, and he was very embarrassed and was swayed to the ground by Rukawa Kaede.
After breaking through Itakura, Rukawa Kaede strode into the penalty area.
In the face of Naito's defense, Rukawa Kaede jumped up against him.
"Innocent!"
Naito also jumped up and smiled hideously, as if he saw Rukawa Kaede eating deflated in his hands.
In mid-air, Rukawa Kaede collected the basketball, pulled the bar and changed hands to the layup, and the whole set of movements was smooth and natural, showing amazing stagnation, bounce and flexibility.
Swish~
The smile on Naito's face instantly stiffened, and as soon as he landed on the ground, he heard the sound of a basketball hole piercing through the basket.
He glanced at the grim young man in front of him, and for some reason, Naito turned to look at Sendo again.
Judging from Naito's feelings, Rukawa Kaede is very similar to the immortal path who just joined the Lingnan team last year, except for the appearance, it is simply carved out of a mold.
Not far away, Itakura stood up from the ground in embarrassment, and looked at Rukawa Kaede's eyes with a much more solemn look.
This is definitely a fierce opponent!
On the edge of the court, Yayoi Aida's eyes were focused on Rukawa Kaede.
"He deserves to be the MVP of the National High School Competition!"
For Rukawa Kaede, a superstar, Aida Yayoi has naturally heard his name.
If you see it today, you know that it is better to be famous than to meet.
They are also the MVPs of the national high school competition, and the gap between different regions is very large.
It can only be said that Kanagawa Prefecture is worthy of being the most involuted area, and the gold content of the MVP of the junior high school competition can be said to be leveraged.
On the side, Nakamura sighed: "It's really lucky to say that Xiangbei is really lucky, there are two MVPs in the big countries who chose Xiangbei!"
"Maybe it's because of Coach Anzai!"
Aida Yayoi naturally knows the details of Coach Anzai, and is full of attention to this former 'white-haired demon' and former national player.
Switch between offense and defense!
Outside the three-point line, Sendo was about to observe the situation, when suddenly, Itakura raised his hand to ask for the ball.
was beaten by Rukawa Kaede, which made him lose face, and he decided to fight back!
"Nerve-wracking!"
While Xiandao silently complained, he passed the ball to Itakura.
This is a training match, and since his teammates want to perform, he will not refuse.
At the moment of receiving the basketball, Itakura immediately broke through with the ball.
Rukawa Kaede hurriedly blocked it sideways, but Itakura did not dodge and took the initiative to confront.
At the moment of contact with Itakura, Rukawa Kaede's expression changed slightly, and his steps were stunned, and he was squeezed into Itakura.
Although Rukawa Kaede is a few centimeters taller than Itakura, in terms of weight and strength, Itakura has the advantage.
Itakura is ugly, but in the end it is Osaka's third-ranked scorer in SD, not to mention that he is now staying in the Lingnan team.
With Coach Taoka's strict training, Itakura's strength is definitely three points stronger than the original.
On the contrary, Fengyu's Jinping coach is no different from a puppet, there is no majesty at all, Fengyu players are not convinced of him, and the players are not lazy in training.
After successfully breaking through Rukawa Kaede, without waiting for Akagi to step forward to help defend, Itakura made a jump shot and threw the basketball in his hand first.
Swish~
The basketball hollowed into the basket, and Itakura scored two points.
Compared with the three-point shot like a nerve knife, Itakura's mid-range shooting is much more stable.
"Boy, you're still too tender!"
When passing by Rukawa Kaede's side, Itakura Tokushi is rampant, giving people the feeling of being a villain.
"Interesting!"
Rukawa Kaede glanced at Itakura, he didn't refute, and turned back to defend.
His personality dictates that he has and will only refute his opponents with actions.
Itakura's pride didn't last long, it was the turn of the Xiangbei team's offense, and in less than ten seconds, Rukawa Kaede broke through Itakura again and scored two points with a stop-and-go jump shot.
Itakura knew very well that he had tried his best, but he couldn't prevent Rukawa Kaede at all, and the other party's technique was excellent, good enough to be compared to Xiandao.
However, Itakura clearly did not throw in the towel.
In the next few rounds, Itakura and Rukawa Kaede were still heads-up.
It's just that anyone with a discerning eye can see that Itakura has fallen into the disadvantage.
Rukawa Kaede's weight and strength are indeed inferior to Itakura, but the gap is not very large, and the key Itakura breakthrough skills are relatively single, coming and going are those two.
On the bench of Lingnan, Coach Taoka looked at the field expressionlessly, and from time to time he would turn his head and talk to Yuzumi.
Yuzhu asked strangely, "Coach, why don't you call a timeout?"
"It doesn't matter if you win or lose in training matches, I hope he can understand something!"
Of course, there is a limit to Coach Taoka's patience, and he doesn't mind replacing Itakura if he continues to be pushy.
This is also related to the fact that Itakura's status in Lingnan is not very high, and they are also starters, and Itakura is not like Yuzumi, Ikegami, Sendo, and Naito that cannot be replaced.
On the field, Itakura finally reacted, subconsciously looked at the Lingnan bench, first glanced at Coach Taoka, and when he found that Coach Taoka was expressionless, he became nervous.
In addition to this, he also glanced at Fukuda and seemed to see his eagerness.
Fukuda is Itakura's main rival in the Lingnan team, and whether he can keep his starting position and playing time, Fukuda is the biggest threat.
After reacting, Itakura hurriedly changed his style of play and began to run on the court, without fighting hard with Rukawa Kaede again.
He has already understood that he is not Rukawa Kaede's opponent.
