"Xiangyang! Xiangyang! Xiangyang! ”

"Xiangbei! Xiangbei! Xiangbei! ”

As soon as he came out of the players' tunnel, the commotion of the stadium was already like thunder.

The entire stadium was boiling, and the hustle and bustle of the scene, the voices of NHK hosts and ball commentators were echoing at the scene.

"Audience friends, this is the scene of the Kanagawa Yokohama Gymnasium, and the match between Xiangyang and Xiangbei, which has attracted the attention of the whole country, is about to begin!"

"As a young team that has attracted the attention of the whole country after defeating the Mountain King, Xiangbei is now more popular in China than the former Mountain King Industry, and we look forward to Xiangbei playing the best performance today and launching the strongest impact on Xiangyang, which is now standing at the top of the Japanese high school basketball world!"

"If you want to challenge Xiangyang, Lin Dong is undoubtedly a hurdle that Xiangbei can't bypass, although Sakuragi Hanamichi showed incredible defensive ability in the previous game against the Mountain King, but for the defense of Lin Dong, I personally think it is still not enough."

"Both teams are the type of teams that are quite capable of scoring and can quickly pull away in a short period of time once they get up, so the opening first quarter is crucial for both teams."

"Xiangyang will definitely still use Lin Dong as the main attack point in this absolute trump card, this is their usual opening 10-minute tactic, it has never changed since the summer league, and now it depends on how Xiangbei intends to deal with it."

"It's the same Kanagawa team, and the players of these two teams are quite familiar in private, and I even heard that Lin Dong and Sakuragi Hanamichi are still good friends, and in the previous Hiroshima Summer League, Sakuragi Hanamichi still lived with Lin Dongjun's father."

"The competition between brothers makes the scene seem to be a little less smoky, but it also has more fighting spirit that makes people feel clean and refreshing."

"Hahaha, compared to the Mountain King War with the intervention of the Basketball Association, this battle is indeed much cleaner."

"You can see that the players on both sides are in position, and the game starts immediately!"

Hush!

With the reminder of the referee's whistle, the noise on the scene was slightly quiet, and everyone looked intently at the five people in the field.

Xiangyang starters: No. 4 Kenji Fujima, No. 5 Toru Hanagata, No. 6 Kazushi Hasegawa, No. 8 Shoichi Takano, No. 13 Lin Dong.

And Taku Ito, who had been a starter in the previous winter selections, was put on the bench.

Coach Kitano's thinking is still quite clear, Ito Takushi is a system player when Xiangyang plays high card tactics, and it is obvious that he is more offensive than defensive.

And when Lin Dong is on the court, Xiangyang is not short of offensive firepower, and there is no need to immediately sacrifice high-position card tactics, that move is used for emergency purposes, and it is also used to cultivate the future Xiangyang basketball system, and at present, the so-called tactics may not be to hand over the ball to Lin Dong alone......

On the offensive end, it's good to let Lin Dong warm up, the important thing is to defend well and stop Xiangbei's attack, and in this regard, the 193 cm Shoichi Takano is undoubtedly much better than Ito Taku.

Xiangbei starters: No. 4 Akagi Tsuyoshi, No. 7 Miyagi Ryota, No. 10 Sakuragi Hanamichi, No. 11 Rukawa Kaede, No. 14 Mitsui Shou.

Just like the consistent starting five tigers since the winter selection of Xiangbei, the depth of the bench is the most criticized problem in Xiangbei by the outside world today, but it is indeed unsolvable, and this starting lineup is also expected by everyone.

The players on both sides stood still, and then there was an uproar in the stadium.

Each other's starting lineups are quite as expected, but this is the person responsible for opposing Lin Dong......

"Isn't it the No. 10 anti-forest east in Xiangbei? How is number 11? ”

"That No. 11's defense doesn't feel as good as No. 10."

"Is it the wheel battle when the King of Xueshan fought Xiangyang at the beginning?"

"It's also possible that it's 2 clips and 1!"

The discussion in the stands was endless, and I saw Rukawa Kaede walking to Lin Dong's side.

This guy who was beaten to the point of autism in the summer league and saw that he would always show strong aggression and persistence when he was in the training base, but at this moment it seems that he has really calmed down from the inside.

I don't know where Coach Anzai took him after 'escaping' at the training base, but it feels completely different from the Rukawa Kaede he used to be.

Lin Dong was thinking about it, but he heard Rukawa Feng greet calmly.

"Hey."

"Huh?"

"Nike Basketball Summit, I'll go too."

"Oh."

Rukawa Kaede said in a deep voice: "After winning your Xiangyang. ”

Lin Dong laughed when he heard it.

He knew very well that Rukawa Kaede, who had been to Lloyd's training base, could not feel his strength, but he still had the courage to send a war letter to himself, and this guy seemed to have really been reborn.

Lin Dong smiled at him and said, "Come on." ”

Hush!

The referee finally blew the whistle and threw the basketball high into the air.

The people in charge of jumping the ball are still Akagi Goken and Hanagata Toru.

This is the third time the two have played each other, and it is also the third time that they have jumped ball, from the first time Akagi won to the second time they were evenly matched.

And this time......

The two of them have almost the same control and judgment of the timing of the jump, and at the same time they jump high, the height is the same, and even the arm span is extremely close.

Syllable!

At this time, the two big hands were staggered, both of them were shooting the ball in the area of the half behind them, but they were slapped together at the same time, and the basketball happened to be sandwiched in the hands of the two hooks.

Hanagata twisted her waist and abdomen in mid-air, trying to hook the ball back with the power of her waist and abdomen.

But on the thick lenses, what was reflected was Akagi Gangxian's eyes that were almost bursting with flames.

The opponent may really be the best attacking center in Japan, but what is the strength?

"Roar!" Akagi Tsuyoshi roared angrily, and the muscles in his whole body tensed at this moment.

Yourself is even better!

There was only a moment of stalemate in the air, and the violent force immediately poured behind Akagi Tsuyoken in an unstoppable trend.

The two staggered big hands suddenly scored, and the basketball was slapped fiercely in the direction of the cherry blossom road in the backcourt of Xiangbei.

Shoichi Takano, who was opposite him, was obviously not an opponent at all, and was stuck behind him by Sakuragi Hanamichi and successfully took the ball.

"Ikebana!" Ryota Miyagi ran quickly and made a gesture to ask for the ball, and Fujima followed.

"Akagi Goken looks like he's in shape, the momentum of the opening game is crucial to the morale of the team, look at this ball first!" The voice of the narrator does not stop for a moment.

"Let Fuji Zhen face Miyagi, looking at Xiangyang's plan, it seems that he is preparing to strangle the two organizational points of Miyagi Ryota and Rukawa Kaede, so as to block the attack of Xiangbei."

At the same time, Rukawa Kaede also ran to the right front of the court, a rather aggressive offensive run, but Lin Dong, who was following closely behind, just looked relaxed and comfortable, and even felt that he was one step slower than Rukawa Kaede, but it still made people feel that there was no need to count on this point in Xiangbei.

With Lin Dong's defense, there is no chance of scoring...... This seems to have become the common perception of all fans.

"The two points that organized the attack were strangled to death, and Xiangbei ...... Hey?! ”

But seeing Sakuragi Hanamichi's arm, he didn't choose Miyagi or Rukawa Kaede, and the basketball turned into a long arc from the air and went straight to the left side of the front court.

Mitsui Kotobuki!

This pass was fast and accurate, Mitsui Shou ran ahead of time, and his consciousness was more than a notch ahead of Hasegawa, and he caught the ball with a 'snap'.

The commentator slapped the table excitedly: "When I played the Mountain King, I didn't see Sakuragi Hanamichi have a dazzling performance on the offensive end, and I really didn't expect him to have such a passing vision as a big forward!" ”

"Xiangyang's original intention was to freeze the attack launch point of Xiangbei, but now it seems that it is difficult to do it, there are too many points that Xiangbei can attack."

"Yes, Xiangyang has Lin Dong, I believe that Xiangbei's defense is difficult to cause him too much trouble in the first half, unless he is also exhausted, and if you really want Xiangyang to feel threatened, you have to look at Xiangbei's attack."

"Mitsui Shou is against Hasegawa Kazushi, although the latter was also the absolute main force in the championship team, but compared to Mitsui Shou, who completely exploded the stars during the Sanno War, I feel that the strength gap between the two is still too big."

"Playing Mitsui Shou is an absolutely correct choice, winning a goal first, it will be a great morale boost for Xiangbei!"

Before the words of the commentary fell, Mitsui Shou, who received the ball, had suddenly made an emergency stop.

Hasegawa barely stabilized the inertia of the forward rush and turned to jump, but then saw Mitsui Shou's movement of holding the ball motionless.

Damn, deceived!

Hasegawa was shocked, although he knew that he was not Mitsui Shou's opponent, but he didn't expect that the first ball in the opening game was played by the opponent.

At this time, the momentum of the jump was exhausted, and the body could not control the fall.

I saw that Mitsui Shou only made a shooting action at this time, and the corners of his mouth raised a slight smile, and the basketball came out of his hand......

Finished!

The thought in Hasegawa's heart hadn't finished yet, but he saw Mitsui Shou's smile suddenly freeze on his face.

Immediately, I felt the wind behind me, and I saw that Mitsui Shou had a feeling of being covered by a dark shadow.

A figure was already soaring high behind him, its extraordinary reach stretched to the limit, and it grabbed into the air.

Syllable!

The basketball that had just been taken out of his hands was caught by the man.

No. 13, Lin Dong!

Mitsui Shou's face was full of surprise, when Sakuragi passed, Lin Dong's position was obviously still on the right side of the front court a few meters away, and he received the ball, lit Hasegawa, and then shot, it was only a second or two before and after, this ...... He saw through it completely!

Rumble!

Lin Dong landed with the ball in both hands, but at this time, Rukawa Kaede, who was only half a beat slower, had already blocked it.

With the help of Hasegawa Kazushi's body, he blocked half of Lin Dong's body, and firmly stuck Lin Dong, who broke the ball, but in the next second, he ......

Syllable!

A ground-hitting pass, the ball has been distributed to Fujima, who came up.

Fuji Zhen held the ball and attacked quickly, Xiangyang advanced all the way, and Miyagi Ryota quickly circled the defense to block Fuji Zhen's footsteps, but it did not stop the basketball.

As early as when he blocked, Fujima had already split the ball and passed straight to Hanagata near the free throw line.

Akagi Tsuyoken crossed the bar in front of him.

The two centers faced off, and the flower shape holding the ball took a deep breath.

Akagi is better at basket technique, but in this position is definitely his own advantageous area, all it takes is a step back!

But before he could jump, just before he could jump up, a big hand had already reached out from the left side.

"Come back!" Sakuragi Hanamichi roared, startling the flower shape and jumping at the same time, the basketball was directly grabbed by him and dragged over.

The brutal power of grabbing the ball, pulling the flower shape through the feet, stumbled slightly, but before Sakuragi Hanamichi was happy for half a second, when he turned around with the ball, he felt that there was a figure in front of him, and a big hand had slapped his basketball.

Basketball again.

Lin Dong!

The spectators in the stands were a little stunned, and they didn't even have time to explain.

Frankly, the scene seemed a bit chaotic, or rather, the pace was too fast, after all, in just two or three seconds, the ball had been converted three times.

Rukawa Kaede appeared in front of Lin Dong in time.

He could feel that today's Lin Dong entered the game state very quickly, which was completely different from the feeling of playing casually for 10 minutes, maintaining a fairly high level of concentration at the beginning, coupled with the awareness that the opponent was always one step ahead of him, which made him always run after the opponent.

It's a hard feeling...... But finally catching up!

And Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was broken ball, also reacted quickly, and without waiting to see the face of Lin Dong who broke the ball, his hands had been subconsciously opened, and he just formed a perfect two-person sandwich position with Rukawa Kaede who came back to defend, and sandwiched Lin Dong after the ball was broken!

The height and arm span of the two are good, and the position of the bag clamp is just right, so that people can't see Lin Dong's breakthrough route at all.

Rukawa Kaede's eyes at this time were unwavering, and Sakuragi Hanamichi shouted: "Brother Master! ”

The ball just now was too fast, but his defense was not slow, the defensive position was held, and he defended one first!

The commentary finally caught up with a little reaction at this time: "Perfect defense! It's so timely! ”

"The return defense of the 11th, combined with the pinch attack of Sakuragi Hanamichi, the two of them cooperate just right......"

But before the word 'place' came out, the corners of Lin Dong's mouth had already raised a slight arc, and he pulled up without hesitation.

After many changes in ball possession, offensive and defensive conversions, and from the bag to a dozen and two shots, the voice of the commentary at this time was completely out of rhythm, and everyone was dizzying.

Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede's pupils contracted suddenly, and they reacted while jumping up and blocking.

But the hands of the two had just been raised......

Swish!

The basketball has been shot out of his hands steadily.

Then there was a wonderful arrest sound.

2 points in the middle distance, Xiangyang won the opener.

2:0！
