Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 223 Genius!

Sakuragi Hanamichi's first attack seemed smooth and easy. Mizusawa Ichiro, a second-year junior high school student, turned into a road in front of Sakuragi Hanamichi, and Sakuragi easily passed by.

And Sakuragi Hanamichi's slam dunk after passing Mizusawa Ichiro also made Takeshi's junior high school students burst into amazement.

Slam dunk!Among the junior high school students in Wushi Middle School, only Rukawa Feng can do it.Moreover, their own captain, Rukawa Kaede, had never done a two-handed dunk like Yingmu Huadao.

"The breakthrough speed is very fast, and the jumping ability is also very terrifying. Perhaps, this kid's jumping is stronger than Rukawa Feng."

"It's vaguely comparable to that kid in martial arts back then."

"Where did this kid come from?"

Takeshi's coach, Masayoshi Anzai, touched his chin and looked at Hanamichi Sakuragi with some interest.It should be impossible for a middle school student of this level to be unknown. Why, he has never seen it before?

"Damn! This bastard's breakthrough speed is so fast!" Sakuragi Hanamichi scored a goal first, which made Mizusawa Ichiro a little annoyed. He volunteered to replace his respected senior Rukawa Kaede. His face was completely lost by him.

The pride in Mizusawa Ichiro's heart would never allow such a thing to happen.

At this time, Yingmu Huadao had also let go of the hand grabbing the basket, fell back to the ground, grabbed the ball and jogged beyond the three-point line, and said to Mizusawa Ichiro:
"Hey, kid!"

"Do you know how powerful this genius is?"

"A mortal like you will not be my opponent!"

While Sakuragi Hanamichi was talking, he threw the ball to Mizusawa Ichiro. Mizusawa Ichiro who caught the ball didn't talk nonsense, bent down, handed the ball back to Sakuragi Hanamichi, and immediately reached out his hand to block Sakuragi Hanamichi. It blocked Sakuragi's line of sight.

This was just the first ball, and Ichiro Mizusawa refused to admit defeat at all.

Hanamichi Sakuragi grabbed the ball with both hands and raised it above his head. Ichiro Mizusawa adopted a close-fitting defensive strategy this time. He put his right hand on Hanamichi Sakuragi's waist, and blocked Hanamichi Sakuragi's sight with his left hand while observing the position of the basketball. Ready to make a steal.

And Hanamichi Sakuragi, who held the basketball high above his head, was not in a hurry. He looked at the basket, faintly intending to shoot. In the next second, he exerted all his strength and stepped on his left front with his right foot, quickly facing Mizusawa Ichiro.

At the same time, Hanamichi Sakuragi made a breakthrough with the ball, and at the same time of the breakthrough, half of her body was pressed hard against Ichiro Mizusawa's chest, and the huge force pushed Ichiro Mizusawa back a step.

Originally, Mizusawa was attracted by Sakuragi Hanamichi's shooting feint and raised his center of gravity, but now that he was pushed by Sakuragi, he immediately lost the possibility of chasing Sakuragi and could only watch Sakuragi Hanamichi break through.

"I am indeed a genius!"

When Sakuragi Hanamichi completed the breakthrough, he still had the time to look back at Ichiro Mizusawa who was standing still. Seeing that the opponent could not keep up with him, he simply slowed down, took the ball into the basket with ease, and made a light layup The ball was sent into the basket.

Sakuragi Hanamichi also did not use the layup method of hitting the board. It can be seen that Sakuragi Hanamichi has practiced countless times for his layup. The whole layup movement looks light and stretched, with a light and beautiful feeling.

"It's beautiful, Sakuragi!" Mito Yohei was staring blankly at Sakuragi Flower Road at this time, amazed in his heart.

He didn't expect that Yingmu Huadao actually scored two goals from the heads of Wushi players.And he didn't expect that Takeshi's team members were so weak, and Sakuragi Hanadao was so easy.

Obviously Yingmu Huadao performed quite poorly when practicing against Jinguji Budo.

"This red-haired kid's movements are quite good. The three-threat movement and the breakthrough steps when facing close defense are all done quite well."

"However... this kid probably can't shoot! The three-threat shooting is very clumsy."

Masayoshi Anzai has seen a lot of things from Sakuragi Hanamichi's offensive action. It can be seen that Sakuragi Hanamichi's breakthrough three-threat has obviously undergone strict training, but what does not match this is that Sakuragi Hanamichi is doing When shooting fakes, the way to grab the ball with both hands left and right is used.

Normally, when making a fake shot, you should grab the ball with one hand and hold the ball with the other. When the basketball is in your hand, you are actually in a state where you can shoot at any time.But Sakuragi Hanamichi is not. In Anzai Masayoshi's view, Sakuragi Hanamichi's shooting fakes are too fake. This kind of fakeness forms a strong sense of disobedience with Sakuragi Hanamichi's solid three-threat footsteps.

There is only one answer that can explain this sense of disobedience.

"Mizusawa, don't be affected by his fake shooting action."

"Don't guard against his shots, just stare at his breakthroughs and judge the direction of his breakthroughs!"

At this moment, Rukawa Feng, who had been watching coldly, said aloud.

Father, like son.

Mizusawa Ichiro, who was facing up against Sakuragi Hanamichi, didn't even notice whether Sakuragi Hanamichi's hand movements were standard when shooting, or he didn't have time to pay attention to and perceive this.

Rukawa Kaede and Masayoshi Anzai, who were watching the game from the sidelines, quickly discovered this. Masayoshi Anzai didn't say anything to remind him because he wanted to see if Ichiro Mizusawa could deal with it himself.And Rukawafeng reminded him that he just didn't want his players to play so badly.

Although Ruchuanfeng has a cold temper, he also belongs to the kind of personality that is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Ruchuanfeng still has a sense of collective honor.

Hearing Rukawa Kaede's reminder, Mizusawa Ichiro adjusted from the absent-minded state, and Mizusawa Ichiro had already begun to doubt his life after Sakuragi Hanamichi scored two goals so easily.He is also a well-known existence in the junior high school arena. This year, their Wushi Middle School also successfully broke into the national competition and got a good result in the top four.

And he, Ichiro Mizusawa, also averaged 12 points per game on the stage of the national competition.Don't underestimate the 12 points. In junior high school games, teams generally score around 70 points. Sometimes in fierce games, the scores of the two teams are only 40-50 points.He averaged 12 points per game, sitting firmly in the team's third spot.

Only under Captain Rukawa Kaede and Deputy Captain Kemei Ichiro.Mizusawa Ichiro himself is also very proud. He always thought that he was one of the few junior high school students in the country. After Rukawa Kaede and his class of players graduate, he will usher in his era.

"."

"Don't worry about his shooting, pay attention to the direction of the breakthrough?"

"Is it a shot? Yes. It's the last ball, give it a go."

Mizusawa Ichiro adopted Rukawa Kaede's suggestion, but he didn't know the deep meaning of this suggestion. He only thought that this defense was a desperate fight.

Sakuragi Hanamichi also grabbed the basketball and returned beyond the three-point line. Hearing Rukawa Kaede's words, he just cursed in a low voice: "This stinky fox." He didn't care whether Mizusawa Ichiro planned to change his defensive method.

"It's all the same, no matter how you defend, it's the same."

Yingmu Huadao's attention was not on Mizusawa Ichiro at this time, and he actually recalled the two matches between Xiangbei and Lingnan in his mind, one county competition and one national competition.

Three threats, this kind of thing Jinguji Budao has taught him for a long time. Although Yingmu Huadao practiced hard, he didn't take this basic movement seriously. How could such simple and unpretentious movements be worthy of his genius?

What Sakuragi Hanamichi hopes to learn is the fancy dribbling style of Budo, and the kind of extraordinary movements that make people shout "awesome" at the first glance.

But now this kind of thinking in Yingmu Huadao's mind has weakened a lot. He watched a lot of Jinguji Budo competitions, and also watched a few Lingnan High School competitions. How important it is for a player.

Jinguji Budao in the north of Hunan, and Shinomiya Tianye in the south of the mausoleum, are all people who have exercised the three threats to the extreme.

It's just that the directions of the two people are a little different. Jinguji Budao relies on precise shooting and the rhythm change after the three threats. These two things make Jinguji Budao unrivaled on the court.

However, Shinomiya Tianye in Lingnan is much simpler and rougher, using extreme speed and strength to force all opponents who are weaker than him. Before meeting Jinguji Budo, Shinomiya Tianye didn't need any rhythm changes at all. Easily pass most people.

Shinomiya Tianye's breakthrough method also allowed Yingmu Huadao to find the way to attack at the current stage!

"Facing such an opponent, just force it!"

For the third ball, after checking the ball, Hanamichi Sakuragi was thinking about other things in his mind, but his body made a direct movement without any fake moves, only a simple drop of the ball and a dash.

In the blink of an eye, Sakuragi Hanamichi's body was squeezed against Mizusawa Ichiro's body, and the resistance breakthrough without any change directly made the road ahead of Sakuragi Hanadao smooth.

After subconsciously merging the ball, subconsciously jumping and dunking, Sakuragi Hanamichi grabbed the basket and looked at the floor under his feet belatedly.

"I'm really a genius!" It's not the first time that such words appeared in Yingmu Huadao's mind, but there was never a time when Yinggi Huadao was as convinced as he is now.

After three goals, in just a few minutes, Ichiro Mizusawa was defeated.

Sakuragi Hanamichi who fell back to the ground grabbed the basketball with one hand, turned his head sideways, looked at Rukawa Kaede outside the court, and threw the ball. With a confident smile on his face, Sakuragi Hanamichi said loudly:
"Hey, stinky fox! It's time!"

"Let you know how powerful this genius is!"

Rukawa Feng caught the basketball thrown by Sakuragi Hanamichi, looked at the confident Sakuragi Hanamichi, also walked out of the team, walked towards the court, and at the same time cursed in his heart: "Big idiot!"

Rukawa Kaede walked to Mizusawa Ichiro's side and patted him on the shoulder.Seeing Rukawa Kaede, Mizusawa Ichiro lowered his head in shame, and apologized, "Sorry, Rukawa-senpai."

Rukawa Feng also just nodded, didn't say anything else, rubbing the basketball with both hands, looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi, and said lightly: "You attack first!"

Rukawa Feng threw the ball towards Sakuragi, and slowly walked in front of Sakuragi Flower Road.

Seeing this, Sakuragi grinned and was not polite. Standing outside the three-point line, he handed the ball to Rukawa Kaede to check the ball.

Rukawa Kaede just patted the basketball symbolically, and then returned the ball to Hanamichi Sakuragi, and at the same time quickly got down.

Just when the duel between the two was about to begin, three figures appeared at the entrance of the arena.

The chubby Coach Anzai walked into the arena with Budou Jinguji and Hisashi Mitsui.

As soon as he entered the arena, Jinguji Budao saw the red-haired boy in the middle of the court surrounded by the crowd at a glance. Budao scratched his head in some doubts, and looked at Rukawa Kaede who was facing Sakuragi Hanamichi.

Then he said to Coach Anxi beside him: "Coach, it seems that there is a one-on-one bullfight over there, why don't you disturb them first and take a look?"

Although Wu Dao didn't know why Ying Mu Huadao and Rukawa Kaede had a bullfight, it didn't affect his original intention of letting Ying Mu Huadao come to Wu Shi.It doesn't matter whether Sakuragi Hanadai is brilliant or ugly, as long as he shows his ability in front of Coach Anzai, that's enough.

"Hey ho ho ho ho, let's take a look first."

Coach Anxi also smiled when he heard this, since he was not in a hurry anyway.

The three of them didn't alarm anyone, and just silently joined the crowd of onlookers.But at this time, the crowd of onlookers really didn't have time to pay attention to whether there was an extra person beside them, and now everyone's attention was on the two people in the field.

Wushi's team members were loudly cheering on Rukawa Feng, hoping that their captain would give this red-haired bastard who kicked the gym a little bit of color.

"Ho~ you're all in good shape."

Anzai Koyoshi pushed his glasses, looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede who were about the same height in the field, and murmured in his heart.Coach Anxi's selection method is completely different from the selection method of traditional campus basketball in this country.

Other coaches value immediate combat ability when selecting players. After all, junior high school and high school are only three years old. What coaches need is players who can perform immediately when they come to the team, or players who can perform within 1 to 2 years. performance player.

But Anxi Koyoshi is different. What he looks at is the potential, what he looks at is the future potential of the players, that is, the combat power.

Although nominally he was selecting reserve players for the Xiangbei basketball team, selecting combat strength for the team to win the national competition, and completing reinforcements.But Coach Anxi also has some selfishness. He wants to see if there are any players with the talent of Jinguji Budo in middle school that he can cultivate!
He hopes to bring out a few more players who surpass Gu Ze from his hands!

The physical conditions of Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede have passed Coach Anxi's first level.

On the court, Sakuragi Hanamichi bent slightly, with his left foot different, and his right foot moved horizontally, grabbing the ball with both hands and sweeping left and right, seducing Rukawa Kaede's defensive position.

However, Rukawa Kaede seemed to have seen through the depth of Sakuragi's flower path. Faced with Sakuragi's tentative movements, Rukawa Feng was not moved at all, and his eyes did not look at the ball at all, but stared at Sakuragi's feet.

"This guy!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi saw that his actions couldn't affect Rukawa Kaede at all, so he didn't hesitate, and immediately dropped the ball to break through, but just as the basketball fell, Rukawa Kaede quickly reached out and patted the basketball accurately, completing the steal.

"Hehe, this kid Sakuragi, after all, has too little actual combat experience, and the ball protectors are just showing off."

"Right now, he's not the opponent of Rukawa Feng!"

Seeing this scene, Budao secretly laughed in his heart. Although Yingmu Huadao was intercepted so easily, it was beyond Budao's expectation, but he figured it out after a little thought.

Coach Anxi didn't make a sound when he saw this scene, but just touched his chin with an inexplicable expression.

At this time, Wushi's team members who watched the battle had already cheered, as if Rukawa Feng had won the victory.
