Chapter 449: Sakuragi Rises to Strength, and the Mountain King Transforms Formation

Once again, it was Sanno Industries' turn to attack, and this time, Fukatsu passed the ball to Oeda again.

In the Sanno team, Okawada is the existence second only to Zebei in offensive ability.

"Boy, I advise you to give up!"

Okawada leans on Sakuragi's back, trying to provoke Sakuragi.

Sakuragi gritted his teeth and didn't speak, so as to avoid Okawada being attacked by him again while he was talking.

This time, Sakuragi said that he would also guard against this ball.

Seeing that Sakuragi was not fooled, Okawada didn't take it too seriously, he believed that as long as he got serious, no one would be able to completely restrict his play except for Uozui.

Peng ~ Peng ~

Okawada backs Sakuragi, who prepares well in advance and lowers his center of gravity to resist.

Sakuragi gritted his teeth and tried his best to resist, he had already used all his strength, Okawada's strength was almost not inferior to him, and the key weight was obviously heavier than him.

Peng~

Okawada struck again, and even if he had spare strength, he still hit Sakuraki's center of gravity and began to tilt backwards.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Oeda immediately shifted his steps, turned past Sakuragi, and strode towards the basket.

A smile appeared on his face, and he was already thinking about how to taunt Sakuragi after scoring points.

However, just as Okawada jumped up, suddenly, Sakuragi ran in front of him again and jumped high as well.

Sakuragi waved his right hand out, and his eyes quickly slapped the basketball that Okawada grabbed with both hands.

In mid-air, the two wrestled.

"Get down for me!"

Sakuragi let out a loud cry and slapped the basketball down with all his might.

As a price, the two lost their balance in the air and fell to the floor in embarrassment.

Peng ~ Peng ~

Before the two could stand up, several players pounced on the basketball in unison.

In the chaos, Miyagi took the lead in grabbing the basketball by virtue of his physical advantage.

"Attack!"

While Miyagi shouted loudly, he immediately took the lead in the charge.

Fukatsu hurriedly rushed towards him, trying to slow down Miyagi's pace.

Miyagi didn't have a sticky ball and immediately passed the ball to Mitsui.

Mitsui took two steps, and under the entanglement of Satoshi Ichikura, he hurriedly passed the ball to Rukawa Kaede again.

On the other side, Akagi was also charging with all his might, and he had already thrown off Kogawada's two positions.

If nothing else, this time the front court will be a four-to-three rhythm.

But at this moment, Sakuragi suddenly jumped up from the floor, waved his hands vigorously, and rushed forward at a very fast speed.

When Akagi rushed to the frontcourt, Sakuragi rushed up in a daze, and even came from behind, rushing towards the basket.

As for Rio Kada, he could only stare at Sakuragi's back in amazement, following behind to eat ashes.

Neither of them was injured, but in terms of speed and explosiveness, Okawada finally suffered a loss in size.

Seeing that something was wrong, Zebei immediately secretly approached Mitsui, as long as he and Satoshi Ichikura sandwiched Mitsui, he had a chance to destroy the ball.

"Mitsui, be careful!"

At the same time as Miyagi's voice sounded, Mitsui had already passed the ball.

No, to be precise, the basketball flew towards the rebound.

The basketball crossed a parabola and bounced straight on the rebound.

At the same time, Sakuragi, who had already started at full speed, jumped up almost on the free throw line, and smashed the ball into the basket with force while catching the basket.

Bang dang~

A strong roar sounded, and the huge impact caused Sakuragi's lower body to sway forward.

He hung one hand from the basket and gave a thumbs up to Mitsui behind him.

"Good pass, junior!"

"Bastard, don't call me a junior!"

Mitsui's angry voice rang out.

Sakuragi smiled and let go of the basket and landed on the floor.

Whoa~

The voices of the audience instantly boiled and deafened, echoing wildly throughout the stadium.

If it weren't for stepping on the line, Sakuragi almost completed the free throw line air relay.

Even so, it's enough to give most of the audience an adrenaline rush.

At this time, Coach Domoto finally stood up.

All~

The referee's whistle blew, but it was Sanno Industries that asked for a timeout.

Players from both sides left the pitch and returned to their respective benches.

Soon, the pause is over!

Players from both sides returned to the game, and at this time, there was a change in the lineup of the mountain king.

Nobe replaced Hiroshi Kogawada and Shigeki Fujii replaced Satoshi Ichikura.

Although Nobe Shohiro can only be regarded as a blue-collar worker, his mobility ability is much better than that of Kogawada.

As for Shigeki Fujii, this is another defensive titan of Sanno Industries, a sophomore, 181 cm, with a different defensive style from Satoshi Ichikura.

Satoshi Ichikura's defensive style is clingy and undead, while Shigeki Fujii's style is similar to Ikegami's.

Of course, the defensive ability is still much inferior to Ikegami, and the physical quality is also a little worse.

Both have one thing in common, they don't have the ability to take the initiative to attack, but it's okay to shoot in the open space.

Among the two defensive giants, Coach Domoto obviously trusts Satoshi Ichikura more, and Satoshi Ichikura has been with Sanno Satoshi for three years and has experienced more games; Satoshi Nokura, who came to one, has a more tenacious personality.

Of course, Satoshi Ichikura also has flaws, and that is height and weight.

If it's an ordinary opponent, Satoshi Ichikura is enough to deal with.

It's a pity that his opponent is Mitsui Shou, and the height difference between the two sides alone is enough to greatly reduce Satoshi Ichikura's defense, not to mention that Mitsui is still an ace player with strong singles ability.

No matter what kind of defensive strategy Satoshi Ichikura employs, the effect is not very good.

As a last resort, Coach Domoto had no choice but to send Shigeki Fujii.

The change in the lineup of the mountain king has greatly increased the flexibility.

Of course, the deterrent effect of positional warfare has also declined.

Kogawada is not useless, let alone Kokawada, who practiced a year in advance.

That is, Kokawada's mobility is too poor, otherwise Coach Domoto would not want to replace him.

Sanno Industries served, and Fukatsu held the ball past half court.

Looking at Miyagi, who was waiting in front of him, Fukatsu did not try to attack, but passed the ball to Zebei, who was more capable of singles.

I have to say that Fukatsu's desire to attack is really not strong.

Zebei catches the ball with both hands and makes a triple threat move.

Rukawa Kaede's cold eyes stared at Zebei, not daring to slack off at all.

Suddenly, Zebei's shoulders shook and made signs of breakthrough.

Rukawa Kaede's center of gravity subconsciously changed, and it was also at this time that Zebei immediately broke through to the other side.

Zebei's first step was extremely fast, and by the time Rukawa Kaede reacted, Zebei was already almost parallel to Rukawa Kaede.

However, the direction of the two was opposite, and by the time Rukawa Kaede turned around and chased after Zebei, the two had already opened up two or three positions away.

Sakuragi hurriedly assisted in the defense of Zebei, if it was before, he was afraid that he would prefer to see Rukawa Kaede suffer.

It's different now, and after an in-depth exchange with Rukawa Kaede, his opinion of Rukawa Kaede has changed a lot.

Without hesitation, Sakuragi pounced towards Zebei.

At the same time, Okawada moved in the other direction.

Zebei immediately made a pass to Okawada, and Sakuragi subconsciously moved his steps sideways.

It's a pity that this is Zebei's feint.

Without waiting for Sakuragi to regain his center of gravity, Zebei took the opportunity to complete a breakthrough.

"Damn!"

At this moment, Sakuragi forcibly stretched out his right hand and slammed it towards the basketball in an attempt to steal, despite the shift of his center of gravity.

The light in Zebei's eyes was fleeting, and the ball was handed over to his right hand, and at the same time that his left hand was hit by Sakuragi, he threw the ball to the basket with one hand.
