Chapter 312: How to motivate Sakuragi!

The direction of the competition between Xiangbei High School and Xiangyang High School did not surprise Jinguji Martial Arts.

Just as Martial Arts had expected at the beginning, Sakuragi Hanamichi and the others, who had a contemptuous attitude, were quickly deflated by Xiangyang's hands. With an average height of more than 185cm, Xiangyang High School has done a pretty good job defensively.

Kiyota Nobunaga did not strictly implement the triangle offensive tactics arranged by Coach Anzai, and he missed a three-pointer with the ball, and then relied on his excellent speed to break through two, but he was blocked by Xiangyang's inside line.

The quality of Xiangyang's players is far from being comparable to a team of the level of Miuradai, and Kiyota Nobunaga treats his opponent as the kind of miscellaneous fish of Miuradai, and it is inevitable that he will be deflated.

However, after several rounds of offensive failures in Xiangbei, the players did not seem to have learned their lessons, and Sakuragi Hanamichi felt that his strength was better than Kiyota Nobunaga, and launched a one-man attack after grabbing a backcourt rebound. But it's a pity that his solo quick exit was destroyed by the Xiangyang people who returned to defend in time.

After several consecutive defeats, Xiangbei did not score a point.

On the contrary, Xiangyang was quite calm on the offensive end, making full use of the height of the players and creating short open opportunities with the help of blocking and pick-and-roll.

When the game was 5 minutes into the game, Xiangyang High School once won 12:0 and implemented a real clean sheet against Xiangbei High School.

In the stadium, it was the offensive round of Xiangbei.

Kiyota Nobunaga looked at the 12:0 disparity score on the sideline scoreboard, and broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't dare to look at the expressions of Coach Anzai and Jinguji Martial Arts on the sidelines.

The score difference has widened to double digits, and even their Xiangbei is still in a state of clean sheets, even if Kiyota Nobunaga is sluggish, he also realizes that they have lost their first grade.

"Something is wrong!"

"It's double digits, and we haven't been able to make even one attack so far."

"Although I don't know what Coach Anthy's performance is now, I want to know that he probably has the heart to kill us now."

"Akagi-senpai and Mitsui-senpai have always been silent.... That's the scariest thing! ”

"This is a goal that has to be scored no matter what."

Kiyota Nobunaga slowly entered the front court with the ball, and after a hurried glance at the scoreboard, he immediately observed Shoyo's defense, and did not dare to look at Coach Anzai's face at all.

Although Coach Anzai has not reprimanded them until now, and even captain Mitsui Shou has not said much, Kiyoda Nobunaga knows that the more Mitsui Shou and they don't speak, the more terrifying the anger accumulated in their hearts becomes.

The situation must be salvaged in order to calm the anger of the coaches and seniors!

"Rukawa Kaede!"

Kiyota Nobunaga rarely called Rukawa Kaede's name, and after entering the front court, he finally gave the ball to Rukawa Kaede. After the basketball shot, Kiyota Nobunaga quickly penetrated the inside line, and Shoyang also reacted quickly when he saw this, the defense line contracted, and Kiyota Nobunaga, who realized that he had no chance, quickly left the inside line and went to the bottom left corner.

At the same time, Sakuragi Hanamichi also moved to the left near the free throw line. With his back to the defender, he reached out to Rukawa Kaede for the ball.

Unlike Kiyota's heart, Sakuragi Hana said him.... There is no forced number.

However, although Sakuragi can't recognize himself clearly, Rukawa Kaede is one of the calmest people in this Xiangbei High School. Both he and Kamiichiro were excluded from the offensive sequence in front and round attacks, while Sakuragi, Kiyota, and Nango's interior attacks were all interfered with and intercepted by the Shoyang coefficient.

Rukawa Kaede firmly believes that he is the only one who can break this deadlock!

"After playing for so long, Rukawa Kaede finally has a chance to get the ball."

"I don't know how Xiangbei arranges offensive tactics, but until now, the ball has been given to Rukawa Kaede's hands."

"If you let those first-graders mess around, I'm afraid Xiangbei won't even be able to cross Xiangyang."

In the stands, Yuzumi, who was watching the ball, saw Rukawa Kaede holding the ball and said in a muffled voice. He really sweated for Xiangbei, according to the previous Xiangbei style of play, this year's national competition, I am afraid there is no Xiangbei figure.

"Hehe, Xiangbei just has more thorns."

"Xiangyang can't be Xiangbei's opponent, someone wipes their butts, no matter how much trouble those first-year students make, they won't lose to Xiangyang."

"And in my opinion, Xiangyang is really not necessarily the opponent of that group of first-year students."

Kenji Fujima, who came out of Xiangyang, didn't have a very deep affection for Xiangyang's team, and directly said his thoughts.

As soon as his words fell, Rukawa Kaede in the field quickly moved.

Opposite Rukawa Kaede is the captain of Xiangyang, who is 190cm tall and weighs 81kg, although he is not as good as Rukawa Kaede in terms of explosiveness, but his physique is also quite good.

Rukawa Kaede, who held the ball on the outside, dribbled the ball in a slow rhythm and high center, and when the offensive time had just passed ten seconds, Rukawa Kaede suddenly started, his body was short, and he accelerated to break through directly from the right side.

Rukawa Kaede's breakthrough came suddenly, but Hasegawa's reaction was also quite fast, a horizontal movement, directly following Rukawa Kaede's footsteps, Rukawa Kaede's breakthrough was disturbed, and the sideways body was directly attached to Hasegawa's chest, slowing down.

Realizing that he couldn't get past the opponent in one step, Rukawa Kaede simply made a quick stop, quickly dribbled under the crotch, changed the direction of attack, and after mobilizing Hasegawa's letting go, it was suddenly reversed, and he successfully crossed Hasegawa in continuous disguise, and rushed directly to the inside.

"Motor Motor ~~"

However, Rukawa Kaede, who had just broken through Hasegawa, heard the loud shouts from behind him, and at the same time, the Xiangyang team members guarding the inner line also lifted their positions, and for a while, Rukawa Kaede's shooting space was sharply compressed.

"Humph!" Rukawa Kaede glanced at his side with his peripheral vision, and saw that Hasegawa hadn't caught up yet, and the inside line of the defense was still some distance away from him, so he made a decisive move.

During the dribble, he picked the basketball to the basket in a "submarine fishing moon" posture.

"Huh?!"

"Is it a pass?!"

The basketball shot, Xiangyang and the others were stunned when they saw this, turned their heads to look at the basket, and they guessed that Rukawa Kaede's posture should be a pass. At the same time, Xiangyang's inside line, which originally stepped forward to make up for the defense, changed its direction and quickly ran towards the basket.

"Smack!"

"Huh!"

However, the soft sound of a board and a crisp sound of basketball brushing the net pulled everyone back to reality.

Rukawa Kaede's posture is actually a shot!

"What?!"

"Shooting?! In that posture? Actually got in? ”

When the basketball entered the net, everyone in Xiangyang in the court was stunned, came back to their senses, and all looked at Rukawa Kaede in disbelief.

And Rukawa Kaede, who successfully scored a goal, had a clear face, and after confirming that the basketball was in the net, he silently turned his head back to the court to defend, as if he was accustomed to such a goal.

"Score! Xiangbei scored!

! ”

Cheers erupted in the stands after Rukawa Kaede scored, but this cheer was not enthusiastic, most of the spectators were not satisfied with the performance of Xiangbei High School in this game, and many people shouted for Jinguji Takemichi and Mitsui Shou and others to play.

In the eyes of the audience in Kanagawa Prefecture, Xiangbei is the top strong team in the country, and like Lingnan, it is the business card of their Kanagawa Prefecture high school basketball.

They didn't allow Xiangbei to play that kind of ugly game and ruin the reputation of Kanagawa Prefecture.

Xiangbei's double-digit score behind Xiangyang has already angered these audiences, and Liuchuan Feng's goal can only change the views of a small number of viewers.

"Whew.... Finally scored...."

"Hopefully we can establish a win in the first half, if not, Martial Arts, we have to prepare a little bit."

After Rukawa Kaede scored, Mitsui Shou glanced at the time and said in a deep voice.

"Well, of course, if they can establish a win, of course it's the best, if not, wait until we have a win and then let them play."

Martial Arts also nodded when he heard this, he and Mitsui had the same idea, in fact, when the difference had just reached double digits, Martial Arts wanted Coach Anzai to replace them as starters. In the round-robin format, if two teams have the same win, the goal difference will be compared.

Although Wu Dao was full of confidence in Xiangbei's strength now, he didn't want to take too many risks.

It's just that Coach Anzai pressed a few of them down, intending to let Sakuragi continue to fight.

Regarding Coach Anzai's decision, Takemichi and Mitsui Shou and others can only accept it.

Rukawa Kaede's goal did not bring a "morale boost" effect to Sakuragi and others. Even if the score is more than a dozen points behind, the morale is still strong, in the final analysis, the problem of Sakuragi and the others is not because of the lack of morale at all, but because the morale is too strong, so that they become arrogant.

The backward ten points only woke up Kiyota, and the concept of Sakuragi and Nango has not completely changed.

Between the offensive and defensive transitions, Xiangyang made a strong mid-range shot after several transmissions. Nagano, who was shooting, made a save against Nobunaga Kiyota and sent the ball into the basket.

Soon, the ball was in the hands of Xiangbei again.

This time, Kiyota Nobunaga still chose to give the ball to Rukawa Kaede, so he repeated his skills and ran to lead the Shoyang defense.

Taking the ball again, Rukawa Kaede gave up the high singles and instead hoisted the ball to Nango Koichiro, who was in the key position under the basket.

"Pass?!"

"I just scored a single goal, and this is a pass?!"

Rukawa Kaede's ball surprised the audience in the stands, in their opinion, Rukawa Kaede is one of the most reliable people in Xiangbei on the court, and his high-level singles are much more stable than Nango Kuichiro on the inside.

After Rukawa Kaede came out of the ball, even Nango Kuichiro himself was stunned, although he wanted to be in the position, but he never thought that Rukawa Kaede would pass it, his more purpose was just to contain Xiangyang's inner line.

After a short period of surprise, Nanxiang also quickly regained his attention and hit his back in a low position.

Xiangyang inside line, Shoichi Takano in the third grade, is 193cm tall and weighs 85kg, which is not worth the first-year Nango Kuichiro at all.

Although Nango is 192cm tall and weighs 89kg, his tonnage is larger than Takano Shoichi, but his skeleton is not fully developed in the first year of high school, and the confrontation with Takano Shoichi is only between the best.

Nango didn't get any advantage from two back-to-back hits in a row, and realizing this, he suddenly turned around with the ball in his hand and tried to break through Shoichi Takano's blockade. However, his movements were expected by the other party, and he moved horizontally, raised his arms high, and directly sealed Nanxiang.

Nango, who turned to face the basket, saw that his actions were expected by the opponent, thinking of the several near-basket projections that had been interfered with by the opponent before, and glanced at the scoreboard on the sidelines, looking at the score difference, he couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart, glanced at Kamiichiro, who was in a small vacancy in the bottom corner, and chose to play the ball.

"Idiot!

Akagi Gangxian couldn't help but scold in a low voice when he saw this scene, a little hated that iron could not become steel, and he saw the concerns in Nanxiang's heart. What about being expected to break through the direction of defense?! Nango's explosiveness is stronger than the opponent's, and it's okay to be strong after continuous feints, so why do you need to pass?!

What can this kind of timid insider do?!

"It's okay, at least the vision is good, isn't it."

Wu Dao said with a smile, as soon as his words fell, Kami Ichiro, who received the ball in the bottom corner, raised his knife and threw a three-point shot neatly, and the Xiangyang team members who defended him did not expect it, but they were just a little careless, Ke Mei Ichiro had already shot, and it seemed that his projection ability was quite good.

14:5。

The score difference finally narrowed to single digits, and the Xiangbei substitutes on the sidelines finally quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when Xiangbei was behind by double digits, the low pressure emanating from the seniors of Akagi and Mitsui made everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, and at this moment, the atmosphere was finally slightly relieved.

It's just that the faces of Mitsui Shou and others are still not good-looking.

"It seems that a few of them can finally put away their contempt and ...... well" Before Mitsui Shou's voice fell, Sakuragi Hanamichi in the field was distracted when he was defending, allowing Xiangyang to successfully counterattack.

The reason for the distraction is also very simple, just because of Haruko's voice on the sidelines, "Come on, Sakuragi!" ”。

God knows what Sakuragi Hanamichi was thinking in his head, and he was able to wander in this situation.

And Sakuragi was also anxious to find the field after realizing that he had missed a mistake, and when he attacked in Xiangbei, he actually stole Rukawa Kaede's pass to Nango.... Forced to cast by himself.

Of course, the result is not satisfactory, Sakuragi's shooting is indeed a little, but it is only a little, under the interference of a long person like Xiangyang, his shooting is not accurate at all, if Sakuragi is now sober-minded and in an empty position, the middle distance may still be able to score, but .....

"Bell~" As the sound of hitting the iron sounded, the rebounding ball was taken into Xiangyang's arms, and he quickly launched a counterattack.

Although Xiangyang scored a fast-break layup, the counterattack horn that Xiangbei had just blown came to an abrupt end.

"Stupid, why are you stealing my ball!"

"Stupid, wasted a great offensive opportunity."

Nango, who finished serving in the backcourt, quickly stepped into the front court and chattered as he passed Sakuragi.

Sakuragi is also a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, although he knows that it is his own problem, but his ears are strangely closed by himself, and he can't hear Nanxiang's words at all. His eyes were firmly locked on Kiyota, who entered the front court with the ball, and he didn't give up on reaching out for the ball, and his mouth even whispered to hypnotize himself:

"I'm a genius! I'm a genius! ”

"I am the future ace of Xiangbei!"

Sakuragi's attitude made Akagi on the sidelines a little unbearable, and said to Coach Anzai:

"Coach, I see.... Gotta get that kid Sakuragi sober. ”

When Coach Anzai heard this, he just smiled and did not make substitution adjustments.

Jinguji Martial Dao looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi in the field, touched his chin, and after a little thought, he raised his eyebrows, stood up from his seat, and shouted to Sakuragi in the field:

"Sakuragi!

"Come on!"

"The girls like to watch the hot slam dunk the most, let's dunk one!"

Sure enough, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who had his ears closed, instantly opened his ears, and a foolish smile suddenly appeared on his handsome face, although this smile instantly converged, but Wu Dao knew that this kid should have heard it.

Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was originally in the position, suddenly turned around without the ball, and in the blink of an eye, he passed the defenders, and his movements were smooth and swift, which caught people off guard.

"Beautiful!" Sendao, who was watching the ball in the stands, saw Sakuragi's turn, his eyes lit up, and he whispered in his heart.

And Kiyota Nobunaga in the field didn't want to pay attention to Sakuragi Hanamichi, but at this time, when he saw Sakuragi turn around, he cut without the ball, and his body unconsciously made a move and threw the ball towards the basket.

Aerial relay.

Sakuragi Hanamichi, who successfully invaded the basket, jumped up, grabbed the ball with one hand in the air, and dunked the ball into the net.

The furious slam dunk directly bounced off Shoichi Takano who was trying to stop him, and the basketball hoop shook violently under Sakuragi's tremendous force, making an overwhelming squeak.

And the spectators in the stands, who were originally unimpressed by the martial arts words, all looked at the Sakuragi Hanamichi in the field in a daze for a while.

Some reporters who had watched Sakuragi play were the first to react, and after a low snort, they pressed the shutter of their cameras.

"Very well, that's all.... Let's cross the sun. ”

Jinguji Martial Arts smiled, silently walked back to his position, sat down, held his head with both hands, and looked comfortable, as if the competition in Xiangbei had nothing to do with him, the Xiangbei election.
