Chapter 236: The Mountaineer!
"That's what it is...... A national-level ace! β
"It's so strong!
β
The pull rod back buckle of Jinguji Martial Arts plunged the Xiangbei Stadium into silence. Rukawa Kaede raised his head and looked at the martial arts of Jinguji Temple with a surprised face, and let out a low cry in his heart.
"Awesome! In actual combat, it was able to make such a lever back buckle action. β
"I.... Is there really a chance to beat him? β
As the martial arts of Jinguji Temple landed, Kiyota Nobunaga, who had witnessed the martial arts buckle in the distance, couldn't help but doubt his ability. Having spied on the strength of the martial arts of Jingu Temple, he was ashamed of himself for the challenge he had spoken about before.
He is a confident person, but he is also somewhat self-aware, and he clearly knows that what Jinguji Martial Arts can do now, he can't do. Not only now, but also in the future, he may not be able to do it.
After a long time, the Xiangbei players who watched the game broke free from their shock and immediately cheered. And the Xiangbei players on the court, looking at the back of the martial arts and returning to the defense, are also full of confidence.
"It's really pitiful, these middle school students are obviously full of talent."
"But today they have to bear such a blow, and I hope they can hold on."
Miyagi Ryota whistled after returning to the defense position, and said with some emotion. It had only been a short time since the tournament began, and he was already worried about whether these future juniors would be able to withstand such a blow.
The players in Xiangbei have completed their positioning, but the junior high school students have not served for a long time, and Nango Kuichiro is not even interested in playing the game now.
"This.... How to win? β
Nango Junichiro wanted to play badly, and did not go to the baseline to serve, but symbolically ran towards the front court, giving people the appearance of preparing to attack, but his steps were loose, his expression was sluggish, and even the running posture conveyed a sense of powerlessness, and none of the movements were decent. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this kid seems to have been hit too hard and has lost the will to fight.
Kiyota Nobunaga and Katsumi Ichiro are in a similar state to Nango Koichiro, they are not playing on the first day, just looking at this round of attacks by Jinguji Martial Arts, they realize the gap between themselves and the other party, and in the face of such an opponent, they have lost the courage to challenge.
If your opponent is weaker than you, you will be able to have fun abusing vegetables; If your opponent is not much different from you, you will be able to enjoy the thrill of fighting; If your opponent is only slightly stronger than you, you will be able to satisfy your desire to conquer.
But if your opponent is a mountain with no end in sight, then most people, will lose the courage to climb.
It's true that Nobunaga Kiyota is a talented young player, but at the same time, they're just junior high school students.
"Hey! Pass! Give the ball to the day! β
Just when the middle school students lost the will to fight, a clear and urgent voice came into everyone's ears. Katsumi Ichiro, who was looking down at the ground, heard this shout, looked up and followed the direction from which the sound came, and found that Sakuragi Hanamichi was standing near the bottom line at this time, shouting at his teammates.
Everyone was intimidated by the slam dunk of Jinguji Martial Arts, but there was also such a person, who was not afraid of heaven and earth.
"Huh!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi's voice attracted everyone's attention, and now that all the junior high school students were silent, Sakuragi Hanamichi's voice seemed so harsh.
Kamiichiro was also angered by Sakuragi Hanamichi's state.
Clearly... is obviously a rookie, why, at this time, such a rookie not only does not despair, but also has the heart to attack?
Kamiichiro's psychology may not be understood by many people, but the fact is that in the face of Sakuragi Hanamichi, who is trying to reorganize the attack, Kamiichiro not only does not feel that he is inspired, but feels that he is being insulted by the other party.
Without waiting for Kami Ichiro to say anything, Rukawa Kaede on the side silently picked up the basketball, walked to the bottom line, and glanced at Sakuragi Hanamichi with the ball.
The moment their eyes met, both of them actually felt the emotions in each other's hearts. Sakuragi Hanamichi read a strong battle intent from Rukawa Kaede's gaze, and at this moment, Rukawa Kaede had quickly adjusted his state and was ready to climb towards the peak.
And Rukawa Kaede got longing and blazing heat from Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes. Not long ago, Sakuragi Hanamichi completed the first dunk in his life on the court, and the feeling of slam dunk made his whole body pores dilated, and he fell in love with this feeling deeply.
Sakuragi Hanamichi doesn't care whether the opponent is strong or not, whether he can win the opponent or not, what he wants is to experience that feeling.
The basketball was given from Rukawa Kaede's hand and passed into Sakuragi Hanamichi's hand. Sakuragi Hanamichi, who received the ball, ignored his teammates at all and quickly ran to the front court with the ball on his own.
Xiangbei's side is still playing regional joint defense, and in the process of Sakuragi holding the ball, Xiangbei's side settled early, waiting for the opponent to enter. However, only Rukawa Kaede quickly kept up with the pace of Sakuragi Hanamichi's advancement, and Nango Kuichiro, who ran first, was overtaken by Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede.
And Kiyota Nobunaga and Kamiichiro only symbolically ran to the front.
Xiangbei joint defense, Kanoda Satoru stood in front of Sakuragi Hanamichi, raising his arms flat to guard Sakuragi's breakthrough. Sakuragi Hanamichi was not false at all in the face of Satoru Tsunoda, and he directly held the ball and burst strongly, and his body was directly attached to Tsunoda's body. It's just that Sakuragi, who was born in junior high school, seemed to have turned into a bulldozer at this moment, and he rushed across the three-point line against Satoru Tsunoda's defense.
And with Sakuragi's advance, Satoru Kanoda, who was moving sideways with crab steps, finally couldn't keep up with Sakuragi's movements and was completely out of position.
Watching Sakuragi Hanamichi complete the breakthrough, the Jinguji Martial Arts, who was relatively close, had a smile on his face, and raised his eyes to look at Sakuragi Hanamichi, with no intention of going to make up for it.
At this moment, Jinguji Martial Arts released water.
And Akagi Gangxian, who was a little far away, noticed that Martial Arts did not go up to make up for the defense, and he didn't want to rush directly towards Sakuragi Hanamichi, but when he arrived in front of Sakuragi, Sakuragi Hanamichi was already jumping with the ball, and he wanted to slam the dunk with his hands holding the basketball high.
"Boy, don't underestimate me!"
Akagi Goken saw through Sakuragi Hanamichi's slam dunk intent at a glance, and was angered by Sakuragi's unsightly way of attacking. Drinking and jumping to block, although his defense speed was a little slower, and the bounce was indeed not as good as Sakuragi Hanamichi, but his hands were still firmly slapped on the bottom half of the basketball.
The bodies of Sakuragi Hanamichi and Akagi Goken collided in the air, and the impact of Sakuragi's dunk was greatly mitigated.
βbangοΌβ
The basketball was buckled on top of the basket by Sakuragi Hanamichi and bounced straight out, and after Sakuragi Hanamichi fell back to the ground, he looked at the direction where the basketball flew for the first time, and then quickly chased after the basketball.
But before he could get there, the basketball was caught by Miyagi Ryota, who rushed over. Miyagi, who had the ball, grinned at Sakuragi, and then quickly threw the ball towards the frontcourt, where Jinguji Takemichi was already in the lead, already approaching the halfway line.
"Well passed, Miyagi." Jinguji Martial Arts received the ball and shouted, and quickly ran towards the front court with the ball, and the junior high school students couldn't catch back, watching Martial Arts slam the ball into the basket with one hand in the front court.
After the slam dunk, the martial arts of Jinguji Temple began to defend back, and at this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede were running towards their backyard one after the other. Looking at Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede, who were running back in a hurry, Martial Arts suddenly stopped and said with a smile:
"You two, are you very energetic, yes, keep up the good work."
Sakuragi didn't stop at all when he heard the praise, and quickly went to the bottom line without looking back, and Rukawa Kaede just hurriedly glanced at the martial arts and went to the bottom line.
Seeing that the two of them ignored themselves, Wu Dao smiled and quickly returned to his own half.
Sakuragi Hanamichi serves in the backcourt, and the basketball is in the hands of Rukawa Kaede.
The other three junior high school students did not recover, they all looked absent-minded, and when they saw Rukawa Kaede entering the front court with the ball, they were just staying on the side and watching, and they didn't look like they wanted to go up to help. Sakuragi Hanamichi will not block or cover, and at this moment it has sunk to the inside to grab rebounds.
Due to Nango Koichiro's paddling, Akagi Goken focused his attention on Sakuragi's body and faintly let go of Nango. Jinguji Takemichi stood on the other side of the paint area, looking at Rukawa Kaede on the outside, waiting for the opponent to attack.
As Rukawa Kaede approached the three-point line, Kanoda Satoru also quickly defended it, but before Kakuda approached, Rukawa Kaede had already broken through, and his body was short, and he went directly through Kanoda's defense. In front of Rukawa Kaede, Satoru Tsunoda, a high school student, couldn't even do a decent defense at all, and was directly crossed by Rukawa Kaede.
Seeing Rukawa Kaede break through, Takeshi unhurriedly took two steps to the vicinity of the free throw line. And Rukawa Kaede obviously noticed Martial Dao's movements, and after crossing the three-point line and rushing more than a meter into it, he directly pulled it out on the spot and shot it from a distance.
Rukawa Kaede's shooting timing was quite good, and the entire breakthrough and emergency stop and pull action was also quite smooth, and the basketball went directly into the net. Rukawa Kaede, who successfully scored the goal, clenched his fists, turned around suddenly, and began to defend back.
Sakuragi Hanamichi was just a little surprised to see Rukawa Kaede score the ball so easily, and at the same time a little disappointed and didn't have a chance to grab a rebound, he pouted and began to defend.
After Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede left, Kiyota Nobunaga, Katsumi Ichiro and Nango Kuichiro watched the backs of the two teammates leave a little distracted. They couldn't figure out why Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi were still working hard, obviously... The gap is so obvious, so big!
Without waiting for the three of them to figure it out, Xiangbei launched a fast attack, Akagi served in the backcourt, and the basketball passed through Miyagi's hand and quickly gave it to the Jinguji martial arts on the front line. The junior high school students couldn't be prepared, and there were only two people in the front court at this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede.
For the martial arts of Jinguji Temple, one against two, he has an absolute advantage!
Jinguji Martial Arts took the ball in front of the court, quickly approached the three-point line with the ball, Sakuragi Hanamichi was defending to Shen inside, and he heard the hurried footsteps coming from behind him, and quickly turned his head to look at it, and saw the figure of Jinguji Martial Arts holding the ball and rushing forward.
Rukawa Kaede's reaction speed was a little faster than Sakuragi's, and as soon as the martial arts side crossed the middle line, he quickly ran up to try to slow down the martial arts' marching speed.
In the face of Rukawa Kaede's defense, Jinguji Martial Arts did not slow down at all, and his body inadvertently pasted Rukawa Kaede during the march, and the huge force pushed Rukawa Kaede back, and while Rukawa Kaede was unstable, Martial Arts quickly held the ball in disguise, and instantly crossed Rukawa Kaede and approached the three-point line.
Just when everyone thought that the martial arts were unimpeded.
Sakuragi Hanamichi's figure suddenly jumped out from the side of Jinguji Martial Arts, and directly reached out and slapped the basketball. Sakuragi's appearance was too sudden, and the Xiangbei players who watched the game let out an exclamation in unison, reminding Jinguji Martial Arts in hindsight.
"Side!"
"Be careful."
If you have to wait for the spectators to alert Jinguji Martial Arts that someone has a steal, it will be too late. Jinguji Martial Arts, in fact, doesn't need to be reminded by others at all, as early as when Sakuragi Hanamichi stepped forward, Martial Arts had already noticed it.
At the moment when Sakuragi stretched out his hand, Jinguji Takemichi stepped on the three-point line and directly closed the ball, and after two strides, he jumped up, and from the three-point line to the distance of several meters near the basket, Martial Arts only took two steps and one jump.
As Jinguji Martial Arts picked up the basket, the basketball hit the board head-on, and then rebounded into the net.
"That's naΓ―ve, ikebana."
"To prevent fast attack, you must use your body to block the attacking players before trying to steal, steal directly from the side, and if you are found, you will give it in vain, the flaw is too big."
After Martial Arts scored the ball, he didn't forget to educate Sakuragi Hanamichi, looking at Sakuragi, who was a little annoyed and blamed himself, Martial Arts smiled happily, didn't say anything, and quickly returned to defense.
I don't know why, although it's just a rookie like Sakuragi, but Martial Arts is still very happy, and it's also because Sakuragi is stupid and cute.
"Damn! Almost, almost I was able to stop him. Sakuragi Hanamichi muttered to himself in annoyance, walked to the bottom line angrily, picked up the basketball and quickly threw it to Rukawa Kaede, and then ran towards the front court without looking back.
Rukawa Kaede didn't show any expression after receiving the ball.,Self-care with the ball into the front court.,And then it's a stop-and-go jump shot after a strong burst.,This time the opponent who defended him was replaced by Mu Twilight Gongyan.,But Mu Twilight's end is exactly the same as Tsunoda Satoru.,It has become the background board for Rukawa Kaede's shot.γ
The basketball went into the net again, and Rukawa Kaede scored the ball again and firmly bit the score.
"Damn!
β
"Damn!
οΌ β
"How can Uncle Ben just watch others perform!"
"No, I can't just throw in the towel!"
The efforts and activism of Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi infected Kiyota Nobunaga, who was also a mononuclear himself, and was easily infected by other people's emotions, and in the new round, he decisively joined the defensive team.
And Kami Ichiro saw Rukawa Kaede scoring consecutive goals, and saw Sakuragi trying to defend, he was also relieved, unwilling to lose to them, and also joined the defense, as for Nango Koichiro, his character will not accept that there are students in the same grade who are fundamentally better than him.
In the face of a high mountain, you may not dare to climb alone, but if you see someone who is not as good as you has started to climb, will you still be able to stand still? If you see that your competitors have started to climb, will you be willing to throw in the towel?
Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede, two completely different people, are stimulating the other three junior high school students at the same time.
"Wow! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! β
"Sometimes it's not the coach, it's the elders who can help the players grow, it's the opponents!"
Coach Anxi can feel that the momentum of the middle school students has changed, and he sees the changes in the field, and the future of Xiangbei will only begin to show their talent and value to everyone from now on!
