Chapter 17: Rukawa's Progress
Two minutes later, the players on both sides were ready and came to the center circle to assemble.
At this time, the yellow team (yellow vest) lineup on Sakuragi's side is: Sakuragi No. 9, Kuwata No. 6, Shiraishi No. 15, Maeda No. 11 and Tsunoda No. 1O in the second year.
The red team (red vest) lineup on Rukawa's side is: Rukawa No. 13, Ishida No. 12, Sasaoka No. 22, Yamaguchi No. 16 and Yasuda No. 5 in the second year.
Seeing that the players on both sides were in position, Akagi took the ball and walked to the middle of Sakuragi and Rukawa, who were about to jump the ball, and said. "Ready, I'm going to kick off. ”
"Rukawa don't lose too quickly, it's going to be too boring. Hearing Akagi say that he was going to start, Sakuragi hurriedly bent down and squatted down to prepare to jump the ball, and at the same time did not forget to say a few trash words to Rukawa.
"Hmph, you're going to lose badly. Rukawa snorted coldly, although he was a person who didn't like to talk very much, but every time he met Sakuragi, a hateful guy (in his eyes), he couldn't help but talk to him.
"Alright, you both shut up and let's go. Seeing the two quarreling again, Akagi really had a headache, originally he was very much looking forward to this year's Sakuragi Karukawa's first-year twin star combination, but he didn't expect that these two people were born to clash with each other, and they couldn't get along well at all.
Beep!
Akagi didn't want to let them go any further, so he signaled to go down, and just blew the whistle and threw the ball out of his hand.
Call!
Although Sakuragi Rukawa and the two were arguing, their attention was focused on Akagi, and when they saw Akagi throwing the ball, the two of them almost simultaneously used their feet to force their feet, flew up, and went straight to the basketball with one hand.
Syllable!
Sakuragi took advantage of his height advantage and bounce to be better than Rukawa, and took the first step to racket the ball down, and the ball bounced off the ground and bounced right into Kuwata, who was standing nearby.
Sang Tian was stunned when he got the ball, he didn't expect the ball to come so easily.
"Attack!"
But Sakuragi was not stunned, and after landing on the ground, he flew directly and rushed forward, and at the same time yelled at the stunned Kuwata.
Seeing that Sakuragi had already rushed out first, Kuwata didn't say a word, and directly passed the ball in his hand to Sakuragi.
Syllable!
After receiving Kuwata's not very comfortable pass, Sakuragi immediately dribbled towards the red team's basket, and at this time, the red team was the only one, Rukawa and Yasuda returned to the basket.
"Come on, Sakuragi, I'm not going to let you in. Seeing Sakuragi dribbling over, Yasuda didn't have the consciousness of being a dragon at all, and came to defend Sakuragi before Rukawa.
For Yasuda's porous defense, Sakuragi didn't pay attention to it at all, and with a quick change of hands and a low body addition, he flashed directly from Yasuda's side.
As soon as Yasuda saw the flowers, the cherry trees in front of him were gone.
Rukawa saw that Sakuragi had broken through Yasuda, and suddenly his body tightened, and he moved quickly to go up to make up for Sakuragi, and at the same time secretly hated Yasuda in his heart, how good it was to let him go up to defend just now, it would not be so easy to be broken through, and now Sakuragi has risen, and then going up to defend is to block the foul.
Sakuragi saw that Rukawa wanted to come, so he didn't have the idea of dodging at all, and jumped directly in three steps, and he also deliberately leaned towards Rukawa.
Seeing that Sakuragi still wanted to cheat and foul, of course Rukawa would not let him succeed, and directly let go of his body, isn't it just a ball? I'll chase it back right away.
Seeing that Rukawa had dodged, Sakuragi said secretly, count you kid smart. Then he threw the ball directly in his hand.
Swish!
The basketball hollowed into the net, and the yellow team led by two points.
"Well done, Sakuragi!"
"Good Ball ......"
“......”
Seeing Sakuragi's goal, the players of the Yellow team immediately cheered.
However, Sakuragi ignored them, because Haruko was also cheering him on, of course he went to say hello to Haruko, he waved to Haruko, and then went straight back to his own half to defend.
The ball is converted and the red team attacks.
"Pass!"
Yasuda dribbled past half court, and Rukawa immediately reached out for the ball.
Seeing that it was Rukawa asking for the ball, Yasuda did not hesitate and passed the ball directly to Rukawa.
When Sakuragi saw Rukawa shouting for the ball, he moved out from the inside and prepared to defend Rukawa.
However, Rukawa did not give Sakuragi any chance, and after receiving Yasuda's pass, he jumped directly on the spot without hesitation and made a three-point shot.
"Uh......" Sakuragi saw that Rukawa was not prepared at all, so he shot three points directly, and he was speechless for a while. Shoot so casually, can this Nima enter? Young man, are you scaring me?
Swish!
However, the reality is different from Sakuragi's imagination, and Rukawa's three-point shot this time directly entered the Nets. RED scored 3-2.
"Hmph!" Seeing Sakuragi's somewhat surprised expression, Rukawa snorted coldly, and went back to defense without saying anything.
Sakuragi wouldn't have known, after losing that practice match, the effort he had made, he had tripled all his original training volume, and in a few months he had become stronger than before, I don't know how many times.
"Cut!" Seeing Rukawa turn around and leave like a proud rooster, Sakuragi suddenly pouted. Isn't it just a three-pointer? It's so remarkable?
But complaining and complaining, at this time Sakuragi also raised his vigilance against Rukawa in his heart, he and Rukawa have not seriously fought for more than three months after that practice match, who knows how strong the current Rukawa's real strength is.
After all, Sakuragi, who has never been exposed to basketball at all in the original SD books, became a master in only three months, and how much growth will Rukawa, who is similar to Sakuragi's talent, grow in three months? (PS: Sakuragi's strength in the national competition can really be regarded as a master.) )
"Kuwata, give me the ball. "Seeing that Kuwata was going to dribble through the half, Sakuragi asked for the fairway directly. He decided to test his guess to see how much Rukawa had grown.
"Oh...... Oh" As soon as he saw Sakuragi asking for the ball, Kuwata didn't dare to say much, so he passed the ball directly to Sakuragi.
After receiving the pass, Sakuragi dribbled past half court, dribbling as he looked at the RED team's defensive formation.
The red team is now a typical no routine, and everyone is concentrated in the inside, waiting for the attack to come, so Sakuragi beckons to Rukawa and says that he wants to fight him alone.
"Huh?"
As soon as he saw Sakuragi's movements, Rukawa suddenly became angry, his fighting spirit boiled, and he walked directly from the inner line towards Sakuragi without saying a word.
Sakuragi saw Rukawa coming out, and he was not in a hurry, waiting until Rukawa stood in the best defensive position before bending down and dribbling to attack.
"Hmph!" Seeing Sakuragi so arrogant, Rukawa immediately had a cold look in his eyes, opened his hands, and stared at Sakuragi's movements with all his attention. Be sure to guard against him today!
"Smack, smack"
Sakuragi and Rukawa looked at each other's eyes, and suddenly Sakuragi's body was lowered, and the basketball hit the ground twice in a small way, and he stepped out to the right in one step, which was directly a low-post breakthrough.
Seeing that Sakuragi was about to break through, Rukawa didn't dare to be careless, and immediately moved to block the route of Sakuragi's breakthrough.
At this time, although Rukawa was stuck in the best breakthrough route, Sakuragi did not intend to change the rhythm, and he forcibly rushed into the inner line with his body against Rukawa view.
However, Rukawa is not a vegetarian, and the intensive training in the past three months has improved his physical confrontation ability. Sakuragi did not force his way in as he wished, but was forced to the bottom right corner by Rukawa.
Dribbling the ball with one hand on his side, Sakuragi was a little helpless, there was not much time to attack, and now it was impossible to pass the ball out to find a second chance to attack, so Sakuragi did not hesitate, made a feint of rushing forward, and then jumped directly, leaned back, and threw the ball.
Although Rukawa forced Sakuragi to the bottom corner at this time, he did not relax his vigilance, so he was a little nervous, and after seeing Sakuragi's feints, he subconsciously hesitated, and when Sakuragi was about to shoot backwards, it was already a beat slower to intercept again, but he didn't give up, although he couldn't stop the ball, but he still directly covered Sakuragi's eyes with his palm.
Boom!
Sakuragi's shot didn't go well this time, because the bottom corner was the position he was not good at, and he was also blocked by Rukawa. So when the ball hit the basket, his heart really jumped. Didn't score?
Swish!
However, Sakuragi's luck was good, and after the ball hit the basket, it bounced directly into the net. The Yellow led again 4-3.
"Whew. Seeing that the ball had scored, Sakuragi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Rukawa, "Haha, it seems that my luck is good." ”
"Hmph! Shit luck!" was scored by Sakuragi, Rukawa was really hurt, and he said that I was not happy.
The battle between Sakuragi and Rukawa just now was very exciting, and Mu Dui, who did not participate on the sidelines, watched it very attentively, and at this time, after seeing Sakuragi score, he also smiled and said to Shiozaki on the side: "Haha, Xiangbei is really going to rise this year, with Sakuragi and Rukawa, the national competition is no longer a dream." ”
"Hmm. Shiozaki nodded very affirmatively, he was also shocked by the high-level fight between the two just now. Now that the first year of high school is at this level, how will I mix in the future?
"Hehe, it's a high level. At this time, Coach Anxi, who was sitting on the side and had always been as steady as Mount Tai, also said with a smile. The back of the glasses was even more shining, as if he had seen some treasure.
When Mu Du and Shiozaki heard this, they immediately looked at Anzai, as if they wanted him to explain something.
"Frightened~"
However, Anthy didn't seem to have the idea of saying more, he ignored the eyes of the two, and drank the tea by himself.
