Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 287 Opening the Door to a New World!
"How is it?! This genius slam dunk?!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi, who fell back to the ground, beat his chest excitedly, and yelled at senior students such as Budo and Chiba, with a smile on his handsome face.

And the freshmen who watched the game from the sidelines were stunned for a few seconds, and then exclaimed.

"Alley-oop! It's actually an alley-oop!"

"Is this redhead really a first grader?"

"Slam dunk on the head of a three-year-old senior, it's amazing!"

"Well done! Sakuragi~~"

Amidst the exclamation of many audiences, Yinggi Huadao caught the soft "Sakuragi" in an instant. Yinggi Huadao, who was still smiling, became serious in an instant, and turned his head to look at him from an angle that he thought was handsome. Haruko walked over to the sidelines, stroked her temple hair with both hands, and sent Haruko a smile that belonged to her.

"." Sakuragi Hanamichi's actions were seen by Akagi Takenori. Although the gorilla was so angry, it didn't have the enthusiasm to attack Sakuragi at this time. It just leaned towards Haruko and moved Haruko stood behind her.

"The alley-oop, and it seems that it was not done by luck."

"This kid already has a considerable degree of judgment on the passing path and the basketball's landing point."

"It seems that in the past six months, not only has there been a qualitative improvement in physical fitness, but technical progress has also been considerable!"

Jinguji Budao looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi who was standing under the basket ecstasy, and thought to himself.Seeing Yingmu Huadao grow to such a degree, while Budao was happy, he also lamented Yinggi's terrifying talent.

Since Yingmu Huadao has grown to this level, has the other guy also improved a lot?
While thinking, Bu Dao looked at Rukawa Feng who was already on the way back to the defense, looked at Rukawa Feng's back, pondered for a few seconds, then moved his feet and ran towards the front field.

"Let me try your fineness myself! Rukawa Feng."

In the backcourt, Chiba Oishi served from the baseline and gave the ball to Tetsushi Shiozaki, who took the ball and slowly advanced towards the frontcourt.When Shiozaki entered the frontcourt with the ball, the freshmen had already settled down.

Special recruits like Sakuragi Flower Road and Rukawa Kaede are different from the first-year Budo and the others they have encountered before.As the special recruits of Xiangbei High School, these guys have been training in Xiangbei early, and when coach Anxi is training, he often forms a few of them into a team.

There has been a tacit understanding between these five people, which can be seen from the series of actions of attacking and running, involving the defense line, and completing alley-oops.

The first grade used zone defense, but the outside line of defense was relatively wide. Rukawa Kaede, Katsumi Ichiro, and Kiyota Nobunaga stood at 45° on both sides of the three-point line, and at the top of the arc.

They had some understanding of Tetsushi Shiozaki's ability. Although Tetsushi Shiozaki had already approached the top of the arc with the ball, Katsumi Ichiro, who was at the top of the arc, kept glancing at Budo Jinguji who was not far away from the corner of his eyes.In front of Jinguji Budo, stood Rukawa Kaede. Compared with Katsumi Ichiro's loose defense, Rukawa Kaede seemed quite serious.

"Shiozaki, give me the ball!"

Seeing Shiozaki approaching the top of the arc, Jinguji Budo immediately turned sideways, put one hand on Rukawa Kaede's chest, and raised the other hand, asking for the ball towards Shiozaki.And at the moment when Budo asked for the ball, Katsumi Ichiro waited for the opportunity to dispatch, and the moment Shiozaki made the ball, he dodged in front of him, forcibly squeezed Tetsushi Shiozaki away, and knocked the ball down with one hand.

Katsumi Ichiro, a freshman in high school, is 185cm tall and weighs 75kg.Tetsushi Shiozaki, who is facing him, is only 170cm tall and weighs only 61kg.Katsumi Ichiro is better than Shiozaki Tetsushi in terms of basketball skills, experience, and talent. In front of Katsumi Ichiro, it is very difficult for Shiozaki Tetsushi to even pass the ball.

"Oops!"

Shiozaki only felt a black shadow flashing in front of his eyes, and immediately shouted that it was not good, but at this moment, Katsumi Ichiro had already held the ball in his hands.And almost at the same time that Komi Ichiro completed the steal, Rukawa Kaede also accelerated sharply and ran towards the frontcourt.

"Kamei Ichiro, his hands and feet are really fast!"

At the moment Katsumi Ichiro made the steal, Budo also reacted. The moment Rukawa Kaede activated, Jinguji Budo also activated. Originally, Budo planned to go around in front of Rukawa Kaede and return to the field early to defend.

But after thinking about it, Budao still felt that he was hanging behind Rukawa Feng, and when Rukawa Feng took the ball to attack the basket, he blocked it from behind!With his speed and explosiveness, he can do this with ease.

Sure enough, Rukawa Kaede was one position ahead of Budo, and soon Rukawa Kaede and Budo surpassed Katsumi Ichiro who was advancing with the ball.Katsumi Ichiro sensed that there was a chance, gave an advance, and passed the ball towards Rukawa Kaede.

"Um?!"

"This is too small for me, pass the ball over my head?"

Bu Dao turned his head and glanced at the basketball, and happened to see the basketball flying over his head. Although the ball was quite high, it was not too high.

Katsumi Ichiro's calculations in advance are very accurate, and his passing is also very accurate. Normally, when Rukawa Kaede ran near the free throw line, the basketball just landed on top of his head. Rukawa Kaede could catch the basketball without even jumping. .

But the person following Rukawa Feng is Jinguji Budo!

As the basketball fell, Rukawa Feng turned his head and stretched out his hand to hold the ball, but in the next second, a black shadow rose from the ground and directly grabbed the dropped basketball firmly in his hands.

The shadow blocked the spotlight of the arena and enveloped Rukawa Kaede.

"what?!"

Jinguji Budao jumped up and grabbed the basketball in the air. In the eyes of those watching the ball, Jinguji Budao seemed to be flying, intercepting the ball that ordinary people couldn't reach.

After completing the steal, Jinguji Budao didn't stop for a moment. After landing, he jumped up immediately, and instantly opened a distance of nearly two meters from Rukawa Feng, and rushed towards the frontcourt.

"Ohhhh! The jump is so high! The speed is so fast!"

Jinguji Budao's violent rise caused bursts of exclamation in the arena.

On the court, Katsumi Ichiro saw Budou dribbling forward with the ball, and immediately blocked it, trying to steal it. However, the moment he stepped forward, Budou grabbed the ball with one hand, turned and bypassed it easily, without slowing down, and directly approached the three-pointer Wire.

Jinguji Budo's advance made Nango Koichiro and Sakuragi Hanamichi on the inside vigilant. When Budo dribbled the ball and approached the three-pointer, the two were ready to defend, but in the blink of an eye, Jinguji Budo He has already reached the free throw line, and then he is one step inside the free throw line, and directly jumps with the ball.

Jinguji Budo's speed is really too fast, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Nango Koichiro have not fully adjusted from the offensive state, Jinguji Budo has already volleyed the ball.

"Boom!!!"

Taking off from one step inside the free throw line, Takedo Jinguji smashed and dunked vigorously with one hand, pouring the ball into the basket.The terrifying force pulled the entire basketball hoop down.

Until Jinguji Budao landed, the entire basketball hoop was still shaking violently.

Jinguji Budao's slam dunk made the audience in the arena stagnate, and they stared at Jinguji Budao in the arena in dumbfounded.

"Hohohohoho!!"

"It seems that martial art has indeed grown better in the United States."

"Speed, strength, ball, explosiveness, all these things are combined in a body of more than two meters."

"There is no doubt that a player of this level has far surpassed the level of a high school student!"

"Budo. It has surpassed Ryo Tanizawa by a lot!"

When Coach Anxi saw Jinguji Budo's goal, he clenched his fists excitedly, and his eyes under the glasses were already a little moist.

After Bu Dao dunked, he also looked at Coach Anxi on the sidelines for the first time. Until now, he really began to show his strength.Bu Dao also hopes that his own strength can be recognized by Coach Anxi, so as to comfort Coach Anxi's dry heart.

"Sakuragi, you must not be complacent after making some small achievements!"

"This world is very vast."

"I'm here to open the door to a new world for you! Let you see something, the vastness outside the cage!"

When Budo Jinguji said this, Rukawa Kaede and Katsumi Ichiro also ran back to their own half.The eyes of the five new students were all focused on Jinguji Budao, and they all felt the suffocating and terrifying pressure from Jinguji Budao.At this moment, all five of them had their own thoughts.

Kiyota Nobunaga: "A small forward with a height of more than two meters! There is no such person in the whole country, right? If the martial arts seniors give full play, what kind of monster will it be!"

Rukawa Kaede: "Are all the United States players like this?"

Sakuragi: "I can do this kind of slam dunk!"

Katsumi Ichiro: "Hey, hey, why are you so serious, we are only first graders!"

Nanxiang: "Tch, I was careless just now, I will definitely stop the next ball!"

Wu Dao withdrew his gaze and looked around at the five juniors around him. On their faces, there were admiration, contemplation, and a strong fighting spirit. These expressions were all seen by Wu Dao.

"Go ahead, you're welcome."

Jinguji Budo turned back to defend while speaking, but until this moment, several people recovered from their respective thoughts, looked at each other, and silently began to serve and attack.

During the transition between offense and defense, Kiyota Nobunaga quickly entered the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Miyagi Ryota's defense, Kiyota Nobunaga simply called a pick-and-roll, and then rushed towards the inside under the cover of Katsumi Ichiro.Kiyota Nobunaga's actions instantly attracted Kakuda Satoru's attention.

The senior students, except Jinguji Budo, the rest of the team members have already played countless training matches with these special students.In the previous training match, Rukawa Kaede and others who were in junior high school were able to wrestle with the high school team led by Mitsui Hisashi and Akagi.

As for Kakuda Satoru, in a competition of that level, he is no match for these first-year students at all!
Kakuda Satoru, who was promoted to defense, was instantly flashed by Kiyota Nobunaga's obeisance. Kiyota Nobunaga, who was attacking the basket, finally attracted Chiba Oishi's defense, but he was still too late.With Kiyota Nobunaga hitting the board high, the basketball hit the net easily.

The senior line of defense was easily torn apart by Kiyota Nobunaga.

"Ok?"

The counterattack of the first grade was so easy and fast, which Budao did not expect at the beginning.He didn't expect that the basket guarded by Qianye would be breached so easily, which really surprised Wu Dao.

But Budo didn't care about this either, he probably knew the standards of Shiozaki and Kakuda.

"It's our turn to attack."

"Pass the ball to me in the frontcourt!"

Wu Dao clapped his hands, gave a word of encouragement, and then trotted towards the front court.

On the senior side, everyone also realized that facing this group of first graders, Shiozaki was not very good at handling the ball, and the task of ball control still returned to the hands of Miyagi Ryota.

Miyagi, who was catching the ball in the backcourt, was traveling much faster than Shiozaki was visible to the naked eye. Not long after Budo entered the frontcourt, Miyagi Ryota also quickly crossed the center line.

Miyagi Ryota, who entered the frontcourt, briefly observed the first-year defense and saw that there were no obvious loopholes. Before Komiichiro came up, he quickly gave the ball to Budo Jinguji.

Jinguji Budo, who was standing outside the three-point line, was also standing on the right side of the court, facing Rukawa Kaede half sideways, with his right hand on Rukawa Kaede's chest, and his left hand catching the ball.

Starting with the basketball, Budo Jinguji took the ball with both hands and quickly swept the ball frame, lowered the center of gravity, moved his right foot laterally, and tentatively moved Rukawa Kaede's defensive center of gravity.Seeing Rukawa Feng's footsteps retreating, he straightened up and pulled out his hand on the spot.

The core strength of Jinguji Budo is very strong, and it is still possible to take advantage of the jumping advantage in standing-and-drawing.

Relying on his height of more than two meters and his jumping ability, Budo shot a three-point shot directly in front of Rukawa Kaede, looking relaxed and comfortable.

Rukawa Kaede, who is in the first grade, is already 188cm tall and weighs 77kg.

But in front of the 201cm Jinguji Budo, it is still not enough to look at, not to mention that the center of gravity has been mobilized by the Budo, even if it is not mobilized, it is very difficult to prevent the Budo from interfering.

"Shh!"

With a crisp sound, the basketball hit the net.

Ganba, one of the scoring weapons of outside superstars, Jinguji Budo today has developed this skill into a top-notch skill.If the defenders can't put too much defensive pressure on him, they won't be able to guard him at all.

Before returning to China, in the warm-up match with Mount Zion Christian Academy, relying on this skill, he scored 36 points in a single game in Budo, while the kid nicknamed T-mac only scored 29 points.

And Rukawa Feng's defense is too quiet for the current Jinguji Budo!

"Come on guard! Rukawa Kaede!"

"I don't feel the pressure!"

Bu Dao gave a soft drink to Rukawa Feng, and hooked his fingers towards Rukawa Feng.

Playing more matches with old American players, Budo's personality has also changed subtly, and he has become more talkative on the court.

"Huh~ The three-pointer is so sudden and accurate!"

"Stinky fox, you have to work hard! If you can't stop it, tell me earlier, and I will come to replace you!"

Sakuragi Hana said sarcastic remarks when passing Rukawa Feng, followed in the footsteps of Jinguji Budo, and ran towards the front field.Sakuragi's words made Rukawa Kaede's eyelids twitch, and Rukawa Kaede's expression became even colder at this moment.

Soon, the first grade served in the backcourt, and Kiyota Nobunaga took the ball into the frontcourt again.

After reaching the frontcourt, Kiyota Nobunaga repeated his old tricks and called for a pick-and-roll. This time, Miyagi, who was facing him, sensed Katsumi Ichiro's movements, deftly bypassed the pick-and-roll, and came in front of Kiyota Nobunaga.

However, the arrival of Miyagi did not make Kiyota hesitate. Kiyota Nobunaga, who broke into a short distance, hit the ball to the ground and gave it to Hanamichi Sakuragi inside.

Sakuragi catches the ball and beats Satoru Kakuda under the basket. With a back hit, Kakuda is easily overtaken, and then he invades the basket with a deep step, and there is no long-distance run-up. buckle.

Chiba Oishi, who came up to defend, was shocked by the terrifying power of Sakuragi Hanamichi's slam dunk, and staggered a few steps before standing still.

The nimble footwork at the basket, the terrifying explosive power and jumping, all the martial arts were taken aback for a while, and I couldn't help but glance at Yingmu Huadao a few more times.

Sakuragi, who has been playing for a year, has developed a lot of talent by coach Anxi, and his strength has become stronger visible to the naked eye!
"These guys."

"The competition is finally interesting, much better than those boys before!"
