Fengyu High School is indeed a pretty good team, there is quite a tacit understanding between the team members and the team members, and under the leadership of Nan Lie, this team has been twisted into a rope.

Compared with Fengyu, who has a rich game and a sharp attack, these first-graders in Xiangbei High School are going to be more immature.

However, this does not mean that Shohoku High School, led by Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede, will lose to Toyotama.

Fengyu's players are indeed a lot more mature, and their offense is also very sharp, but these first-year students in Xiangbei High School can use their "talent" to make up for their lack of experience.

As the game progressed, the situation did not go as Coach Jinping had envisioned at the beginning, with Toyoyu controlling the rhythm of the whole game.

On the contrary, as the game progressed, Xiangbei High School relied on its excellent internal strength and completely occupied the initiative.

Sakuragi Hanamichi and Nango Kuichiro joined hands with the Xiangbei inner line, which completely exploded the inner line of Fengyu High School.

In the 13 minutes of the first half of the game, Xiangbei High School had already led the opponent by 6 points at 36:30.

And the most dazzling performance of Xiangbei High School is not Liuchuan Kaede, who has repeatedly broken through Nanlie to complete the score, even if Rukawa Kaede has scored 14 points in this short 13 minutes, it is still not the focus of the audience's attention.

The most eye-catching person in Xiangbei is the red-haired boy who is active under the basket.

"Bell~"

In the middle of the court, there was a soft sound.

Rukawa Kaede once again managed to break through Nanyeol's defense, invaded the three-point line, and then shot directly at the top before Fengyu's filler came up. The hasty shot misses and the basketball collapses out of the basket.

And Rukawa Kaede, who threw this ball, did not have the intention of returning to defense, but looked at the basket.

“ohhh！”

"Rebounding again!"

"Well done, stinky fox, I knew you couldn't make it!"

Under the basket, Sakuragi Hanamichi saw Rukawa Kaede's miss, not only did he not show disappointment because his teammates missed, but shouted excitedly. At the same time, he shifted his position and tried to grab the best rebounding position.

The defender's Kishimoto Minori already had a position advantage, and his heavy center of gravity stuck Sakuragi behind him.

At the moment when the basketball began to fall, Kishimoto only felt that his back was empty, and the force that was originally against his back suddenly disappeared.

"Huh?!"

Just when Kishimoto was surprised, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was still stuck behind him, actually lost part of his strength sideways, and turned around against Kishimoto's back, and then inserted it into Kishimoto's eyes from the side.

"Peng!" Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was in the reflexive position, sat on his buttocks and directly pushed Minori Kishimoto away, and at the same time, the basketball also fell a distance.

"Hahahaha!"

"Got it!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi jumped up excitedly, grabbed the basketball directly in his hand, behind him, Kishimoto Minori also tried to snatch the rebound, but the position was poor, and the bounce burst was not as good as Sakuragi Hanamichi, even if he jumped with all his strength, his hand was still more than 20 centimeters away from catching the basketball.

It's simply not there!

Hanamichi Sakuragi, who grabbed the rebound, raised the ball on the spot and shook it, and Kishimoto, who landed on the ground, covered Sakuragi's eyes with one hand and did not eat his feints.

In the next moment, Sakuragi Hanamichi straightened his waist, seemingly ready to shoot, but this time, Minori Kishimoto did not hesitate any longer, jumped up directly, and sealed the basketball from behind Sakuragi.

It's just that at the moment he jumped, Sakuragi collected the ball again, and after a short period of accumulation, when the jumping Kishimoto Minori began to fall, Sakuragi Hanamichi jumped up lightly and shot the basketball.

The basketball hit the board and went into the net, making a crisp sound.

And as Hanamichi Sakuragi managed to score under the basket, the spectators in the stands let out a burst of cheers.

“ohhhh！

！ The guy with the back hair got the rebound again! And it's scored again! You've already scored more than 10 points, right? ”

"This guy has already grabbed 7 rebounds, and his opponent is completely not enough to watch!"

"The first grade in Xiangbei is so strong, and it completely suppressed Fengyu!"

"Without the senior players of Jinguji Martial Arts on the field, Fengyu will not be able to stop it! Unexpectedly, Fengyu was so weak that he couldn't beat Xiangbei's substitute lineup! ”

The chatter of the spectators in the stands entered the stadium, and these words made Kishimoto's face pale and blue, and his anger was held in his chest, and there was nowhere to vent.

No way, although the words of the audience are ugly, but the truth is the most hurtful, isn't it?

So far in the game, Minori Kishimoto has won the rebounds, and he can count the rebounds he has taken, even without bending the fingers of a slap.

3 pcs.

The game played 13 minutes, and he, the power forward, only got 3 rebounds. And his opponent, Hanamichi Sakuragi, got twice as many rebounds as him.

Scoring aside, in the battle for rebounding, the two are completely two level players.

The biggest reason why Fengyu High School was suppressed by Xiangbei was not how sharp Rukawa Kaede's attack was, but Sakuragi Hanamichi's rebounding ball gave Xiangbei High School a second chance to attack.

In fact, in terms of shooting percentage, there is not much difference between the two teams on the whole, and this makes rebounding the key to deciding the outcome of the game!

Coach Anzai actually saw through the essence of this game early, and when Sakuragi Hanamichi began to show his talents, he knew that even if Xiangbei High School didn't let Jinguji Martial Arts and a few of them play, it would not be possible to lose this game.

At 38:30, with the second attack of Sakuragi Hanamichi, the difference between the two teams has also come to 8 points. On the rest area of Xiangbei, the substitute players cheered loudly, they already felt that victory was close at hand, and they all showed great enthusiasm.

On the contrary, at this time, Fengyu's bench was dead silent, and Coach Jinping looked at the court with a solemn expression, and for a while he couldn't think of any good way to help the team recover its disadvantage.

The rebounding ball was blown up by the opponent, how to play?

This kind of problem, even if it is solved by a better coach, I am afraid, it will not be solved.

For any team, it is very difficult to win without rebounding.

Unless... The opponent has no offensive ability, but it is obvious that these people in Xiangbei High School have good attacking power.

There is also a situation where they have an absolute overwhelming advantage on the offensive end, and the team's overall shooting percentage is far higher than that of the opponent.

But judging from the current situation, the efficiency of the two teams in an attack is actually not much different.

In the face of this kind of gap in the team's hard power, Coach Jinping really doesn't know how to adjust to help his teammates win.

And just when Coach Jinping was thinking about countermeasures, there was a bulge in the court.

With the help of Kishimoto's high block, Nam Yeol easily passed through Rukawa Kaede's defense, quickly held the ball to the basket, and when he was about to go to the basket, Nam Yeol encountered Sakuragi Hanamichi's defense.

In the face of Sakuragi, Nanlie was not afraid, and after the ball was combined, the two strides jumped directly, and in order to avoid Sakuragi's defense, Nanlie changed hands to make a layup.

But his change of hands in the air was all in the eyes of Sakuragi Hanamichi.

"Humph!"

"How can a layup of this level break through the defense of this genius!"

"More innocent than a stinky fox!"

Sakuragi drank violently, and his body in the air actually made slight adjustments, and Sakuragi, who was originally blocking to the left, moved his hands and pressed firmly on the basketball sent by Nan Lie.

"Smack!"

After a muffled sound, the basketball flew out of the three-point line, and the quick-eyed Miyagi Ryota held the basketball in his arms, and then directly accelerated forward and launched a counterattack.

Sakuragi, who successfully blocked Nanyeol, landed and didn't stop for a moment, and the figure flashed out in front of Nanyeol's eyes, keeping up with his teammates who were attacking quickly, and rushed towards Fengyu's half.

Defend and counterattack.

The speed of Xiangbei High School's counterattack is too fast, and Fengyu High School can only defend in time Itakura, but there are three Xiangbei players who attack.

Rukawa Kaede, Kiyota Nobunaga, and Miyagi Ryota formed an "arrow" shape towards Toyotama to attack quickly, three to one in the front court, and after two simple conductions, Xiangbei directly crossed Itakura's defense line, and poured the ball into the basket with a slam dunk from Kiyota Nobunaga.

The score difference between Xiangbei High School and Fengyu High School has become double digits.

40:30。

Xiangbei's bench erupted in cheers, and Mitsui Shou also stood up with a smile and clapped his hands, smiling.

"Sakuragi, this kid actually stopped the other party's trump card!"

"That's Osaka's top scorer! The cover is really sturdy! ”

Mitsui Shou applauded and admired. Xiangbei was able to suppress Fengyu so easily, and Sakuragi Hanamichi's contribution was too great, not only contributing a lot of rebounds, but also putting a lot of pressure on Fengyu on the defensive end.

Sakuragi Hanamichi's defense is no longer at the level of a rookie, and the opponents he usually faces are not only Akagi's inside, but Sakuragi in the power forward position, in fact, he often has to face Jinguji Takemichi and others who attack the basket during practice matches.

Compared with players of the level of Jinguji Martial Arts, Mitsui Shou, and Rukawa Kaede, Nan Lie's basket attack level cannot 100% surpass Sakuragi's defense.

Although Nan Lie has excellent projection skills and is not slow, his bounce and explosion are far from being comparable to those of the martial arts of Jingu Temple.

"Beep-" Fengyu was beaten into a counterattack, and Coach Jinping on the sidelines couldn't sit still, although he didn't think of a countermeasure, he also hurriedly called a timeout, intending to let the players calm down.

During the pause, Coach Anzai did not arrange any new tactics, but simply encouraged the players, telling them to play well, concentrate on the game, prevent injuries and so on.

There are no changes in the technical and tactical arrangements.

As the timeout ended, the players from both teams returned to the pitch.

Coach Jin Ping's purpose in calling this timeout was simply to interrupt Xiangbei's offensive momentum, and he had no way to deal with the current situation in the arena.

He could only tell the players to attack against each other, and there was no other constructive suggestion other than letting them slow down the pace and improve the success rate.

After the pause, Fengyu's offensive speed did slow down a bit, aiming at Miyagi and Kiyota, two shorter players, to focus on taking care of them. With the consumption of physical energy on the Xiangbei side, the offensive efficiency has decreased, so Miyagi Ryota also slowed down the rhythm, and after the pause came back, the offensive and defensive rhythm of the two teams slowed down.

Toyotama High School was intimidated by Sakuragi's threat under the basket, and after the timeout, he still dominated the outside score.

Fortunately, Nan Lie's hand seems to have improved, and the difference between the two teams has not further expanded, but has maintained a score difference of around 10 points, floating back and forth.

At the end of the first half, Xiangbei High School led the opponent by 11 points at 55:44.

At halftime, Coach Anzai also made some personnel adjustments, replacing Nobunaga Kiyota and sending Kamiichiro.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Xiangbei's outside attack was strengthened with Kamiichiro's play, and Rukawa Kaede had more options when attacking.

At the same time, Kamiichiro, who is 185cm tall, also made up for one of the defensive holes in Xiangbei, and the overall defense has been strengthened.

The situation, which could have been able to maintain balance, completely collapsed with the arrival of Kamiichiro.

Five minutes into the second half, Toyotama High School completely collapsed.

Although Fengyu's players are all hard-boned, they have not given up the game, and Nanlie is also attacking frantically, trying to recover the decline, but the gap in hard power has no way to rely on fighting spirit to make up for it.

The inside advantage created by Sakuragi Hanamichi and Nango is like a snowball as the game progresses.

The balance of victory is also completely tilted towards the side of Xiangbei High School.

By the middle of the second half, the difference between the two teams reached 15 points.

"The gap in internal strength is too big, Fengyu, it's a loss."

In the stands, the Sanno Industrial players, who had byes on the first day of the game, saw that the game was decided, and they got up from their seats and prepared to leave the stadium.

On the first day of the game, the excellent seeded teams basically had byes, and their mountain king would come to watch the game today, mainly to see the game in Xiangbei High School, and to see the performance of Jinguji Wudao and others.

But unexpectedly, Xiangbei just sent a group of first- and second-year people to press Fengyu to death, and the sufficient reserve force surprised Goro Domoto.

However, Domoto was just surprised, for Fengyu, these first grades in Xiangbei may have been very strong, but for their Sanno Industry, these first and second grades are far from enough.

The pillars of Xiangbei are still those second- and third-year players.

In this game, if Xiangbei sends Jinguji Martial Arts and others to play, I am afraid that the winner will already be decided in the first half.

I couldn't see the depth of Xiangbei, so I could only lead the team back first, so that the team members could prepare well to meet the challenges of Xiangbei High School!

However, before leaving, Goro Domoto couldn't help but glance at Sakuragi Hanamichi's body a few more times, Sakuragi's rebounding ability was what he ignored at the beginning, this game, so that Domoto has a new understanding of Sakuragi Hanamichi, he faintly feels that this red-haired player in Xiangbei may be one of the biggest threats to their mountain king against Xiangbei.

At the end of the game, Fengyu High School still didn't make any waves, and as the game progressed, Sakuragi Hanamichi got into the groove even more, playing a terrifying dominance under the basket.

Just looking at the game, Sakuragi Hanamichi's ability is probably one level higher than that of Kishimoto Minori.

This is not an illusion on the part of the audience, Martial Arts clearly knows that Sakuragi Hanamichi's strength is far more than that, even if he encounters a stronger big forward, Sakuragi Hanamichi will not necessarily lose!

Sakuragi, who has fully grown up, has no doubt that with his talent and his existing skills, Sakuragi is already the top power forward in the country!

93:79。

As the final whistle sounded, Xiangbei High School defeated Fengyu with an absolute advantage and won the first game.

In this game, Rukawa Kaede scored 36 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in the whole game, which attracted the attention of the audience.

And Sakuragi Hanamichi, who scored 21 points, 17 rebounds, 3 assists, and 4 blocks in a single game, fired his first shot in the national competition.

The players from Xiangbei cheered and rushed into the stadium to hug the heroes of the game.

Jinguji Martial Arts stood on the seat, looking at the jubilant teammates who were also applauding, smiling happily, and inadvertently saw the lonely Fengyu team members, muttering to himself:

"I'm glad I lost to these boys, Fengyu."

"At least, you can still dream about basketball!"

"If it were me, what I brought to you might not just be lost..."
