Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 237 Mountain Climbers!

"This is the national trump card!"

"So strong!!"

Jinguji Budo's drawbar buckle plunged the Shohoku Arena into silence.Rukawa Feng raised his head and looked at Jinguji Budao with surprise on his face, and let out a low cry in his heart.

"It's amazing! In actual combat, it's actually possible to make such a pull-back buckle action."

"Do I really have a chance of beating him?"

As Jinguji Budo landed, Kiyota Nobunaga, who witnessed the buckle of Budo from a distance, couldn't help doubting his own ability.After spying on Jinguji's martial arts strength, he felt ashamed of himself who challenged lightly before.

He is a confident person, but he is somewhat self-aware. He clearly knows that what Jinguji Budao can do now, he cannot do.Not only now, but in the future, he may not be able to do it.

After a long time, the Xiangbei players who were watching the game broke free from the shock and immediately cheered.As for the Xiangbei players on the court, they were also full of confidence when they saw Bu Dao calmly returning to the defense.

"It's really pitiful. These middle school students are obviously full of talents."

"But to take such a blow today, hopefully they can hold up."

Miyagi Ryota whistled after returning to the defensive position, and said with some emotion.Not long after the competition started, he was already worried about whether these future juniors could withstand such a blow.

The Xiangbei players finished their positions, but the junior high school students did not serve for a long time. Nango Koichiro is not even interested in playing the game anymore.

"How do you win?"

Nango Koichiro wanted to play badly, so instead of going to the baseline to serve, he ran towards the frontcourt symbolically, giving the appearance of preparing to attack, but his footsteps were loose and his expression was dull. The postures all convey a sense of powerlessness, and none of the movements are decent.Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this kid seemed to have been hit too hard and lost his will to fight.

Nobunaga Kiyota and Katsumi Ichiro are in the same state as Koichiro Nango. It’s not their first day to play. Just looking at Jinguji Budo’s attack, they realized the gap between themselves and the opponent. Facing such an opponent, they all lost the courage to challenge.

If the opponent is weaker than you, you can enjoy the pleasure of abuse; if the opponent is not much different from your level, you can enjoy the thrill of fighting; if the opponent is only a little stronger than you, you can satisfy the desire to conquer.

But if your opponent is an endless mountain, most people will lose the courage to climb it.

Kiyota Nobunaga and the others are all talented young players, but at the same time, they are just junior high school students.

"Hey! Pass the ball! Pass the ball to Bengen!"

Just when the middle school students lost their will to fight, a clear and urgent voice reached everyone's ears.Katsumi Ichiro, who was looking down at the ground, heard the call, looked up in the direction of the sound, and found that Hanamichi Sakuragi was standing near the bottom line, shouting at his teammates.

Everyone was intimidated by Jinguji Budo's slam dunk, but there is also a kind of person who is not afraid of anything.

"Ah!"

The voice of Sakuragi Hanamichi attracted everyone's attention. Now that all the junior high school students fell into silence, Sakuragi Hanamichi's voice seemed so harsh.

Katsumi Ichiro was also irritated by Sakuragi Hanamichi's state.

He is obviously a rookie, why, at this time, not only is such a rookie not desperate, but he still wants to attack?
Many people may not be able to understand Katsumi Ichiro's psychology, but the fact is that facing Sakuragi Hanamichi who tried to reorganize the attack, Komi Ichiro not only did not feel encouraged, but felt insulted by the other party.

Without waiting for Katsumi Ichiro to say anything, Rukawa Kaede picked up the basketball in silence, walked to the bottom line, held the ball and exchanged glances with Sakuragi Hanamichi.

The moment the eyes of the two met, both of them actually felt the emotion in the other's heart.Yingmu Huadao read a strong fighting spirit from Rukawa Feng's gaze, and Rukawa Feng has quickly adjusted his state and is ready to climb towards the peak that is so high that the top cannot be seen.

And Rukawa Feng got desire and enthusiasm from Sakuragi Hanadao's eyes.Not long ago, Sakuragi Hanamichi completed the first dunk in his life on the court. The feeling of slam dunk made his pores relax, and he fell in love with this feeling deeply.

Yingmu Huadao doesn't care whether the opponent is strong or not, whether he can beat the opponent, what he wants is to experience that feeling once.

The basketball was given from Rukawa Kaede's hands and passed into Sakuragi Hanamichi's hands.Sakuragi Hanamichi, who received the ball, ignored his teammates completely, and quickly ran to the frontcourt with the ball on his own.

The Xiangbei side is still playing zone defense. While Sakuragi was holding the ball, the Xiangbei side settled early, waiting for the opponent to enter the field.However, on the side of the junior high school students, only Rukawa Kaede quickly followed the advance of Sakuragi Flower Road, and Nango Koichiro, who ran first, was overtaken by Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede.

Kiyota Nobunaga and Katsumi Ichiro only ran to the front court symbolically.

In the defense of Xiangbei, Kakuda Satoru stood in front of Sakuragi Hanamichi, raising his arms to guard against Sakuragi's breakthrough.Sakuragi Hanamichi faced Kakuda Satoru with no emptiness at all, he directly held the ball and forced his body directly against Kakuda's body.It's just that Sakuragi, a junior high school student, seemed to have turned into a bulldozer at this moment, pushing against Satoru Kakuda's defense and crossing the three-point line.

And with Sakuragi's advance, Kakuda Satoru, who was moving horizontally with crab steps, finally couldn't keep up with Sakuragi's movements, and completely lost his position.

Watching Yingmu Hanadao complete the breakthrough, Jinguji Budou, who was relatively close, showed a smile on his face, and looked up at Yingmu Hanadao, not intending to defend.

At this moment, Jinguji Budao released the water.

Akagi Takenori, who was a little further away, noticed that Budou didn't go up to defend, and rushed directly towards Sakuragi Hanamichi without even thinking about it. Hold up the basketball and want to slam dunk.

"Boy, don't underestimate me!"

Akagi Takenori saw through Sakuragi Hanamichi's slam dunk intention at a glance, and was irritated by Sakuragi's defiant offensive style.He took off and blocked the shot violently. Although his defensive speed was a little slower, and his bounce was indeed not as good as Sakuragi Hanamichi's, his hands were still firmly on the lower half of the basketball.

The bodies of Sakuragi Hanamichi and Akagi Takenori collided in the air, and the impact of Sakuragi's dunk was greatly relieved.

"bang!"

The basketball was caught on the basket by Hanamichi Sakuragi, and it bounced off directly. After Hanamichi Sakuragi fell back to the ground, she immediately looked in the direction the basketball was flying, and then quickly chased after the basketball.

But before he could get there, the basketball was grabbed by Ryota Miyagi who rushed over.Miyagi, who was holding the ball, grinned at Sakuragi, and then quickly threw the ball towards the frontcourt, where Jinguji Budou took the lead and was already close to the center line.

"Good pass, Miyagi." Jinguji Budou shouted after catching the ball, and quickly ran towards the frontcourt with the ball. The ball goes into the basket.

After the slam dunk, Jinguji Budou began to return to defense, and at this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede were running towards their backcourt one after the other.Seeing Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede running back in a hurry, Budou suddenly stopped and said with a smile:

"You two, are you very energetic? Yes, keep going."

Sakuragi didn't stop at all when he heard the praise, and quickly went to the bottom line without looking back, while Rukawa Feng just glanced at Budou hurriedly, and went to the bottom line.

Seeing that the two ignored him, Wu Dao smiled and quickly returned to his own half.

Sakuragi Hanamichi served in the backcourt, and the basketball was given to Rukawa Feng.

The other three junior high school students did not recover, and they all looked absent-minded. When Rukawa Kaede dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, they just stayed on the sidelines and didn't seem to go up to help.Yingmu Huadao can't pick and roll or cover, and now he has sunk to the inside to grab rebounds.

Because Nango Koichiro was paddling, Akagi Takenori put his attention on Sakuragi, and faintly let Nango go.Standing on the other side of the paint area, Jinguji Budou looked at Kaede Rukawa on the outside line, waiting for the opponent to launch an attack.

As Kaede Rukawa approached the three-point line, Satoru Kadota also quickly defended, but before Kaede Kaede got close, Kaede Rukawa started to break through at a high speed, and when he got short, he passed directly through Kaede's defense.In front of Rukawa Kaede, the high school student Satoru Kakuda couldn't even do a decent defense and was directly passed by Rukawa Kaede.

Seeing Rukawa Kaede break through, Bu Dao took two steps unhurriedly to near the free throw line.And Rukawa Feng obviously noticed Budao's movements, and after crossing the three-point line and advancing for more than one meter, he directly pulled out on the spot and shot from a long distance.

Rukawa Kaede's shooting timing is quite good, and the movement of the whole breakthrough is also quite smooth, and the basketball directly enters the net hollow.Rukawa Kaede, who successfully scored the goal, clenched his fists, turned around calmly, and began to return to defense.

Sakuragi Hanamichi was just a little surprised to see Rukawa Kaede scoring the ball so easily, and at the same time a little disappointed and didn't have a chance to grab a rebound, so he pouted and began to return to defense.

After Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede left, Kiyota Nobunaga, Katsumi Ichiro, and Nango Koichiro looked at the backs of the two teammates leaving.They couldn't figure out why Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi were still working hard, obviously. The gap was so obvious and huge!

Before the three of them figured it out, Shonhoku launched a fast break, Akagi served the ball from the backcourt, and the basketball passed through Miyagi's hands and quickly passed to Budo Jinguji on the front line.The middle school students were unable to defend in time. At this time, there were only two people in the frontcourt, Hanamichi Sakuragi and Kaede Rukawa.

For Jinguji Budo, one-on-two, he has an absolute advantage!

Jinguji Budao took the ball in the front court and quickly dribbled the ball close to the three-point line. Sakuragi Hanamichi was defending Shen's inside line, but he heard the hurried footsteps coming from behind him. He quickly looked back and saw Jinguji Budao The figure of advancing with the ball.

Rukawa Feng's reaction speed was a bit faster than Sakuragi's. Budo had just crossed the center line, and he quickly ran up to try to slow down Budo's progress.

Facing Rukawa Kaede's defense, Jinguji Budo didn't slow down at all, and his body inadvertently stuck to Rukawa Kaede while he was walking, and the huge force pushed Rukawa Kaede back. Taking advantage of Rukawa Kaede's unstable foothold, Budo quickly held the ball in disguise, In an instant, he crossed Rukawa Feng and approached the three-point line.

Just when everyone thought that martial arts had been unimpeded.

The figure of Yingmu Huadao suddenly jumped out from Jinguji Budao's side, and directly stretched out his hand to pat the basketball.Sakuragi's appearance was so sudden that all the Shonhoku players who were watching the game let out an exclamation, belatedly reminding Jinguji Budo.

"side!"

"Be careful."

If you have to wait until the spectators watching the game remind Jinguji Budo that someone has made a steal, it will be too late.In fact, Jinguji Budao didn't need to be reminded at all. Budao had already noticed it when Yingmu Huadao stepped forward.

At the moment when Sakuragi stretched out his hand, Jinguji Budao stepped on the three-point line and directly joined the ball. After two steps, he jumped up. From the distance of several meters from the three-point line to the basket, Budou only used Two steps plus one jump.

Following Jinguji Budo's shot, the basketball hit the board head-on and then bounced back into the net.

"That's too naive, Huadao."

"To defend against fast breaks, you must use your body to block the offensive players before attempting to steal. Steal directly from the side. If you are found, it will be for nothing. There are too many loopholes."

After Budou scored the ball, he still didn't forget to educate Sakuragi Hanamichi. Seeing Sakuragi who was a little annoyed and blamed himself, Budou smiled happily, didn't say anything more, and quickly returned to defense.

I don't know why, although I just passed a rookie like Sakuragi, I am still very happy in Budao, probably because Sakuragi is so silly and cute.

"Damn it! I was almost able to prevent him." Sakuragi Hanadao murmured angrily, walked to the bottom line angrily, picked up the basketball and quickly threw it to Rukawa Feng, without looking back ran towards the frontcourt.

After Rukawa Kaede received the ball, he didn't show any expression. He dribbled the ball into the frontcourt on his own, and then made a sudden stop jump shot after a strong burst. Satoru Kakuta was exactly the same, and they all became the background board for Rukawa Kaede's shooting.

The basketball hit the net again, and Rukawa Kaede scored the ball again, firmly biting the score.

"hateful!!"

"Damn!!!"

"How can I just watch other people perform like this!"

"No, I absolutely can't just admit defeat like this!"

The hard work and activity of Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi infected Kiyota Nobunaga. This guy is also a mononuclear creature, and he is easily infected by other people's emotions. In the new round, he decisively joined the defensive team .

Seeing Kaede Rukawa scoring consecutive goals and Sakuragi defending hard, Komiichiro heaved a sigh of relief, unwilling to lose to them, and also joined in the defense. As for Nango Koichiro, his personality was even worse. Will accept that there are students in the same grade who are fundamentally better than him.

Facing a high mountain, you may not dare to climb it alone, but if you see someone who is not as good as you starts to climb, can you still stand in place?Would you be willing to throw in the towel if you saw that your competitor had already started climbing?

Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede, two completely different people, stimulated the other three middle school students at the same time.

"Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!"

"Sometimes it is not the coach or the elders that can help the players grow, but the opponent!"

Coach Anxi can feel the change in the momentum of the middle school students, and he can see the changes in the field. The future of Xiangbei will only show their talents and value to everyone from now on!
