Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 235 Sakuragi's talent!
"Hahaha!!"

"Xiangbei, I'll show you how powerful I am!"

"Look, red-haired monkey, dyed monkey, I will use this ball to convince you!"

Nobunaga Kiyota smiled and intercepted the ball originally passed to Ichiro Katsumi. After the basketball was played, Nobunaga Kiyota quickly advanced with the ball, completely ignoring the surprised Katsumi Ichiro and Koichiro Nango who served the ball.

When the two of them reacted, Kiyota Nobunaga quickly approached the center line with the ball, and Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede who ran towards the frontcourt ahead of time also noticed what happened in the backcourt. The running pace also subconsciously slowed down a bit.

"Hey, wild monkey, don't mess around!"

"Pass the ball, let this genius play!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi stood outside the three-point line, waving his hands and yelling, hoping that Kiyota Nobunaga could give him the ball.But Kiyota didn't even look at him, and quickly dribbled the ball across the center line, approaching the top of the arc, and stood in front of Miyagi Ryota.

Katsumi Ichiro was a little helpless in the face of such a situation, but he didn't say much about it. Instead, he quickly ran to the front field, came to Miyagi Ryota's side, and quickly set a cover for Kiyota Nobunaga.

"Hey, no pick-and-roll, get out of the way!"

"I want to single him out!"

Kiyota Nobunaga looked at Katsumi Ichiro, who was helping the pick-and-roll, not only did not appreciate it, but waved his left hand, chasing Katsumi Ichiro away like a fly.Even with Katsumi Ichiro's good temper, he was also frowned by Kiyota Nobunaga's actions, took a deep look at Kiyota, and ran away quickly.

"Junior high school student."

"Is this how the coach at your school taught you to play basketball?"

Miyagi Ryota looked at Kiyota Nobunaga who drove off the pick-and-roll teammate in front of him, raised his eyebrows, and asked in a deep voice.There was already a hint of anger in his tone. He felt that the middle school student in front of him was too arrogant, and he was looked down upon by the other party.

"My grandpa only taught me"

"We must work hard to defeat every opponent in front of us!"

While Kiyota Nobunaga was speaking, he quickly lowered his center of gravity and dropped the ball. At the same time, Miyagi Yoshita also saw the location of the ball and rushed up to grab the ball.Kiyota and Miyagi entered together, and their bodies collided directly.

In such a physical confrontation, Miyagi Ryota, who was slightly shorter and on the defensive side, suffered a secret loss and was pushed back half a step by Kiyota Nobunaga.

But Kiyota did not lose control of the basketball, and directly crossed Miyagi Ryota and was about to rush towards the inside. However, just as he was about to speed up with confidence, a figure suddenly appeared behind him. He reached out and patted the basketball.

A back cut caught off guard caused Nobunaga Kiyota to lose control of the basketball in an instant. The basketball rolled directly from his hands and was held in his hands by the insider Takenori Akagi.

"What?!" Kiyota Nobunaga was a little surprised that he was cut off. After the basketball was released, he quickly looked behind him and saw Miyagi Ryota with a smile on his face.

"You don't think you can pass me like this?!"

"Don't underestimate people, middle school student!"

Standing behind Kiyota Nobunaga, Miyagi Ryota snorted softly, and instead of rushing to fight back, he began to mock.

"Well done, Miyagi!"

"Let's attack!"

Takenori Akagi held the ball high and praised in a muffled voice, which attracted Miyagi's attention, and then passed the ball to Miyagi Ryota.

Seeing the basketball flying out, Miyagi Ryota immediately started, ran a few steps in a hurry to catch the ball, and then began to push forward with the ball. At this moment, those junior high school students were already on their way back to defense.

Sakuragi Hanamichi quickly settled into position cursing, Rukawa Kaede, Nango Koichiro and others all reacted very quickly, and they had already started to return to defense when Kiyota Nobunaga lost the ball.

Although Xiangbei succeeded in stealing, there was no chance of a fast break.

Although Kiyota Nobunaga lost the ball, his defensive attitude was also very correct. When Miyagi was advancing with the ball, he hurriedly caught up and stuck to Miyagi's side, affecting the speed of Miyagi's advancement. Also tried to steal, in an attempt to make up for the mistakes he made.

However, Miyagi's possession of the ball is quite sophisticated, and he didn't give Kiyota a chance to steal the ball. Of course, his advancing speed was inevitably affected by Kiyota Nobunaga's defense and slowed down a little.

"It seems that you are right."

"These junior high school students have no cooperation at all."

"After all, it's a temporary team. It looks so ugly."

Mitsui Shou couldn't help expressing emotion on the sidelines, his face was full of disappointment.

He actually still has some expectations for Kiyota Nobunaga, hoping to see Kiyota Nobunaga have a wonderful performance on the court and show his value.

But it's a pity, now he only sees one idiot.

"It doesn't need to be said that, these middle school students are very good seedlings, but they need to be sharpened and honed."

"If there is a qualified leader among the junior high school students, these people will be able to unite quickly."

"Or to change the method, as long as there is someone among the opponents who cannot be stopped no matter what, they will also passively gather together."

Jinguji Budao looked at the field, not as pessimistic as Mitsui Shou.

On the court, Shohoku played very fast in this round of offense. After Miyagi dribbled the ball across the center line, Konobu Kogure spontaneously came up for a pick-and-roll. With the help of the pick-and-roll, Miyagi Ryota broke through, attracting the defense of Nobunaga Kiyota and Ichiro Katsumi.While attracting double-teams, he quickly passed the ball back to Gongyan Kigure, who took the ball and made an open three-pointer.

Steadily scored the ball, adding three points to Xiangbei's scoreboard.

A simple pick-and-roll coordination directly gave Mu Mu Gongyan a good chance to make a free shot. The defense line of the junior high school students was unexpectedly easy to break through.

The internal strife among the junior high school students is obviously only just beginning. In the transition between offense and defense, someone started to work on the serve.

Hanamichi Sakuragi obviously felt that it was unrealistic to wait for his teammates to pass the ball to him. He also followed suit. When Nango served, he also made a interception, intercepting the basketball that should have been given to Ichiro Katsumi.

"Hahahaha, look at the attack of this genius!"

After taking the ball, Hanamichi Sakuragi laughed and pushed forward with the ball, with a smug smile on his face.

"Bastard who doesn't have a long memory..." Seeing this scene, Wu Dao was speechless for a while, and couldn't help cursing in a low voice.

Everyone in Xiangbei defending on the field felt a little surprised when they saw this. After looking at each other, they didn't choose to change their defensive strategy.

As Sakuragi Hanamichi approached the front court with the ball, the junior high school students began to spread out, leaving enough room for Sakuragi Hanamichi to perform.Rukawa Feng, Kiyota and the others already knew what kind of person Sakuragi Hanamichi was.

At this moment, no one would think of helping Sakuragi. Instead, they sank toward the bottom line after entering the frontcourt, ready to enter the inside line to grab rebounds at any time.

No one would expect Sakuragi Hanamichi to pass the ball. Of course, Sakuragi Hanamichi himself had no intention of passing the ball at all.

Chiba Oishi didn't know much about Sakuragi Hanamichi. Seeing that Sakuragi was holding the ball close to the three-point line, he immediately defended it.He still looked up to Sakuragi, after all, being able to snatch the ball from his hands twice is not something that can be done by luck.He wasn't sure what kind of attack Yingmu Huadao had, so he didn't dare to be careless in defense.

"Are you here to be the opponent of this genius?"

There was a smile on Yingmu Huadao's face, and his tone of speech was quite confident, but also had a condescending taste.

Hearing this, Chiba Oishi dared not neglect even more. He felt that Yingmu Huadao's self-confidence should come from the other party's ability.Although Sakuragi made two mistakes in a row with one attack and one pass before, but the opponent's bounce and speed were very strong, Chiba did not dare to be careless.

Sakuragi Hanamichi looked up at the rest of the Xiangbei defenders, and seeing that there was no intention of the Xiangbei players to double-team, he immediately lowered his focus and accelerated his breakthrough.Yingmu Huadao's right hand is the right hand, and the speed is the fastest when breaking through from his right side.

The extremely explosive Sakuragi Hanadao clearly intended to break through, but after speeding up, he still came to Chiba Oishi's side in one step.

"Sure enough! This guy is fast!" Chiba Oishi's heart sank, and his body reacted very quickly, stepping out quickly, trying to block Sakuragi's advance forcefully.

Their bodies collided instantly.

Under such a body collision, Sakuragi Hanamichi still maintains a pretty good dribbling posture, half of the chair is leaning against Chiba Oishi's body, and the impact speed does not decrease at all.Like a bent motorcyclist, although his body is leaning, he still seems to be "stable".

With the advantage of speed and strength, Sakuragi Hanamichi passed Chiba Oishi's defense in one step, and quickly rushed towards the inside.

"En!" Budou couldn't help seeing this scene, his eyes lit up. Yingmu Huadao's breakthrough posture was very good, and he didn't feel like a novice at all. Yinggi Huadao's ability to achieve such a breakthrough was beyond his expectations.

In the inner line of Xiangbei, Akagi Takenori saw the breakthrough Sakuragi Hanamichi was about to take up the defense, and saw Chiba Oishi quickly follow up from behind Sakuragi Hanamichi, and at the same time shouted at Akagi: "Akagi, don't get in the way I!"

Chiba Oishi, who was crossed by Sakuragi, still kept up with Sakuragi who was advancing. He predicted the direction of Sakuragi Hanadao's advance in advance, and was also prepared to be broken through.Therefore, after being broken through, he reacted immediately.

Akagi who received the order only hesitated for a second, before Sakuragi Hanamichi crossed the free throw line and moved towards the inside.At this time, Chiba Oishi also came to the side of Sakuragi Hanamichi, and was even with Sakuragi. After two steps, as Sakuragi Hanamichi took off with the ball, Chiba Oishi also circled in front of Sakuragi and jumped up. Reach out to block.

Sakuragi Hanamichi jumped up with his hands raised high, gliding towards the basket.On the defensive side, Chiba Oishi did not give up much, relying on his experienced experience to accurately predict the path of Sakuragi Hanamichi's slam dunk, and raised his hands towards the basketball to block it.

"Crack!" With a soft sound, Chiba Oishi's hands rested on the lower half of the basketball. His jumping was not as good as Hanamichi Sakuragi's, and his hands couldn't seal the center of the basketball at all.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"

Obviously the basketball has been touched by Chiba Oishi, and Sakuragi Hanamichi's body also hit Chiba Oishi in the air, but Sakuragi's gliding momentum continued unabated, bringing Chiba Oishi's body close to the basket, the next second, Sakuragi Furiously, he dunked the ball towards the basket with both hands, and smashed the ball into the basket hard.

The huge force made Qianye unbalanced in the air, his body fell rapidly, and hit the floor with a bang.As his body fell, there was also a basketball falling from the net.

Yingmu Huadao held the basket with both hands, and the muscles of his arms and body were all swollen due to the force. The terrifying power contained in the beautiful muscle lines was undoubtedly revealed at this moment.

As Chiba Oishi was knocked to the ground, all the Xiangbei players who were watching the game grew their mouths and looked at Hanamichi Sakuragi with the basket hanging, with disbelief on their faces.Even the other middle school students on the field stared blankly at Yingmu Huadao with their mouths open.

Rukawa Feng, who usually has a dead face, also rarely showed surprise, and also doubted what he saw now.

Even Jinguji Budo, who thought he knew Sakuragi Hanadao best, looked at Sakuragi in a daze.

"This red-haired guy actually knocked Chiba over?!"

"An unknown junior high school student who overwhelmed the second-year main power forward of the top eight high school teams?"

After a short period of silence, the Xiangbei players who were watching the game suddenly became restless and began to discuss one after another.Several Xiangbei players who were close to the baseline also quickly ran into the field to check Chiba's status.At this time, Qianye was lying on the floor, with a painful expression on his face, and he didn't get up for a long time.

"Hey, Chiba, how are you?"

"Don't rush to get started, go to the infirmary and call for someone."

"Chiba, Chiba!"

The Xiangbei team members surrounding Chiba called Chiba Oishi one after another, and Chiba Oishi lay on the ground, wanting to speak, but immediately closed his mouth because of the pain, and could only gasp heavily, as if this could relief the pain.

At this moment, Yingmu Huadao let go of his hands and fell back to the ground.Sakuragi Hanamichi looked down at Chiba Oishi with a painful face on the ground, his face was full of bewilderment.All his attention was devoted to the slam dunk just now, until now, Sakuragi Hanamichi is still immersed in the feeling of slam dunk.

For the Chiba Oishi that was knocked over by him, Sakuragi Hanamichi actually didn't have much awareness at all.

After a long time, Chiba Oishi seemed to have recovered from the pain. He touched his arms and chest and abdomen, but did not feel any obvious pressure pain.Seeing this, the surrounding Xiangbei players finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly carried Chiba to the sidelines. Coach Anxi approached and gave Chiba Oishi a simple physical examination, which was also a sigh of relief.

Turning his head to look at Sakuragi with a dazed face in the field, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he turned his gaze to Jinguji Budao.

Sensing the coach's gaze, Bu Dao took off his coat, walked into the court, and stepped onto the court instead of Chiba Oishi.

The practice match restarted after a brief pause.

The junior high school students began to retreat, until they returned to their own defensive half, Hanamichi Sakuragi still couldn't break free from the wonderful feeling of being separated from the dunk, and his mind was a little distracted.

"Unexpectedly, Qianye was injured by that kid."

"I originally thought that it was not your turn to play in this game."

Akagi Takenori glanced worriedly at Chiba Oishi who was resting on the sidelines waiting for the doctor, then turned his head to Jinguji Budo, and said.

"The coach has done a physical examination. Chiba shouldn't have injured any muscles or bones. Let's wait for the school doctor to come for further examination."

"I didn't expect that kid to be able to do such a thing."

"This kid really surprised me."

"Maybe, this is the talent!"

Wu Dao looked at Yingmu Huadao from afar and said with a smile.

"Let's mention morale, the state of the players has been affected."

While Akagi Takenori was speaking, he served from the baseline and gave the ball to Budo.

"Ah! Of course!"

Jinguji Budao received the ball, responded, then took the ball and walked slowly towards the frontcourt.As Jinguji Budo approached the frontcourt, the rest of the Shonhoku players settled ahead of time, and the junior high school students were all on the verge of a formidable enemy. Only Hanamichi Sakuragi was still out of shape, as if he didn't notice Budo's approach.

"Here we come! The true trump card of Xiangbei!"

"Finally able to fight him!"

Both Rukawa Kaede and Katsumi Ichiro knew Budo, and when they saw Budo approaching slowly with the ball, their expressions became vigilant, and then tacitly gave up the players who were supposed to defend, and when Budo approached, one left and one right Blocked in front of Wu Dao.
