Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 288 Dark Clouds Covering Newborns!
After the new first-year team came up, Sakuragi Hanamichi directly contributed two explosive slam dunks. Combined with Kiyota Nobunaga's previous one-shot high rebound score, the total score of the freshman team came to six points.

It was actually 1 point ahead of the senior team led by Jinguji Budou.

Although the ball is now in the hands of the seniors, they played [-]-[-] against the seniors and even suppressed the seniors after the opening game. Sakuragi Hanamichi was the first freshman to do this team.

Kiyota Nobunaga who held the ball, Katsumi Ichiro who sent lobs, and Sakuragi Hanamichi who dunked consecutively have become the focus of all freshmen.On the contrary, Rukawa Kaede and Nango Koichiro became somewhat invisible.

The senior student served the ball from the backcourt, and the basketball fell into the hands of Miyagi Ryota, who pushed the ball forward.Due to the quick return of the first graders, Miyagi Ryota's advance speed was deliberately slowed down this time.

When he approached the top of the arc with the ball, the attack time had passed 6 seconds, and after approaching the top of the arc, Miyagi didn't intend to play the ball. He took the ball and quietly observed the defense of the first-year team .

Tetsushi Shiozaki on the side has completely relaxed his nerves on the offensive end. In his opinion, their senior team has the ball-handling core of Jinguji Budo, and the commando captain Miyagi Ryota. It doesn't work.

Therefore, even if Miyagi stands at the top of the arc and does not pass the ball, he has no intention of running.

On the inside, Chiba Oishi seemed to have noticed that Miyagi seemed to want to play tactics, so he silently raised his position and set a high pick-and-roll for Miyagi Ryota.

And the second after Chiba Oishi's pick-and-roll arrived, Miyagi Ryota quickly started and broke through with the ball.

Kiyota Nobunaga achieved one attack and one assist in front of him. Even if he is in the same position and is also a senior, Miyagi Ryota, how could he be willing to become a stupid dealer?
Miyagi Yoshida's breakthrough instantly affected the first-year joint defense system. In fact, when Chiba Oishi was promoted to prepare for the pick-and-roll, Nango Koichiro also followed. At this time, Miyagi used cover to break through, and Nango Koichiro also followed. Resolutely gave up on Chiba, and followed Miyagi directly instead.

Although Nango Koichiro is a center forward, his running speed is quite fast, and he already has a positional advantage. Therefore, the first time Miyagi broke through, Nango Koichiro followed easily, his body sticking to Miyagi , raised one hand high, completely covering Miyagi Ryota's layup route.

After Miyagi advanced for a certain distance, Sakuragi Hanamichi from the side also came up to help defend, and was about to form a double-team with Nango Koichiro, and even Katsumi Ichiro who was beyond the three-point line gave up Tetsushi Shiozaki at this moment and came from Miyagi. The back is heading towards Miyagi Bao.

This sudden move by Miyagi Ryota exposed the first-year zone defense completely.

Knowing that it was impossible to score in front of two tall men over 190cm tall, Miyagi suddenly paused and took the opportunity to pass the ball quickly. The basketball stuck to Sakuragi Hanamichi's body and flew towards Kakuda Satoru behind him.

Miyagi knows Sakuragi and Nango Koichiro's athletic ability very well, strong rush?With his height of 168cm and weight of 60kg, he is courting death!

Wonderful story!

"Huh!" The moment the basketball flew past Sakuragi Flower Road, Sakuragi subconsciously reached out to block it. Although he failed to stop it, his body also turned around quickly, and went straight to kill Kakuda Satoru.

The distance between the two was less than one meter. Just when Satoru Kakuda received the basketball and raised the ball above his head to shoot, Hanamichi Sakuragi rushed directly in front of Satoru Kakuda, slapped the basketball with one hand, and sent the ball flying go out.

"Ohhhh! That redhead moves so fast!"

"That guy who bleached and dyed his hair was not slow, he caught up with Senior Miyagi's breakthrough in no time!"

The defensive cooperation of the first graders was quite tacit, and the athleticism of the two insiders, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Nango Koichiro, surprised the first graders.

"Sakuragi Huadao. How could this delinquent boy have such abilities?!"

Ryumasa Oda, who was watching the game from the sidelines, was also full of doubts. He didn't remember that a bad guy like Sakuragi Hanamichi could play basketball. In his impression, Sakuragi either skipped class or fought. Why did he show up at school? He even once thought that Yingmu Huadao didn't plan to go to high school anymore.

But the strength shown by Yingmu Huadao now is obviously not possessed by a basketball novice.Although Oda Ryumasa is proud and can't see bad boys like Sakuragi clearly, he still has eyesight. He even thinks that with Sakuragi Hanamichi's ability, any middle school team can become an inside ace!

Just when the freshmen off the court were amazed, the basketball covered by Sakuragi was picked up by Tetsushi Shiozaki standing on the outside~
"Ah!!!" Seeing that the basketball was taken by Shiozaki, Sakuragi, who had covered the ball, immediately scratched his head and howled.Katsumi Ichiro's eyes turned white when he saw this, but he kept walking back towards Shiozaki to make up for him.

Nango Koichiro swallowed the phrase "idiot" abruptly, and immediately leaned towards Chiba Oishi who was walking towards the inside line.

The defensive line of the first grade was adjusted in an instant.

"Hohohohoho!"

"These kids are really outstanding!"

Coach Anxi on the sidelines saw Sakuragi and the others complete the defensive adjustment in an instant, nodded in satisfaction, then leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, picked up the teacup and drank tea.

On the court, Tetsushi Shiozaki, who picked up the basketball, didn't dare to throw the ball at all, and as Katsumi Ichiro approached rapidly, the second grader was actually timid.Katsumi Ichiro had an instant insight into Tetsushi Shiozaki's mentality, and his speed was three points faster, planning to make a steal.

"Shiozaki, give me the ball!"

However, at this moment, Jinguji Budo suddenly appeared beside Tetsushi Shiozaki, and while reminding Shiozaki, he came to Shiozaki's side before Katsumi Ichiro, and directly snatched the ball from Shiozaki's hand.

Then he quickly dribbled back and looked at the basket.

If Budo's teammate is an excellent player at this time, he will definitely protect the ball with his back to the basket as soon as Budo approaches. While resisting Komi Ichiro with his body, he can also hinder Rukawa Kaede who is chasing, and at the same time quickly hand the ball To Budo.

In this way, Jinguji Budo can directly pull out the hand the moment he catches the ball.

But at this time, Shiozaki's state obviously couldn't do this. Katsumi Ichiro, who reacted, directly bypassed Shiozaki Tetsushi, formed a circle with Rukawa Kaede who was chasing him, and double-teamed towards Budo.

But Jinguji Budao would not allow these two boys to form a siege, even if he had the ability to double-team, he would not intentionally put himself in danger.

Budo, who distanced himself slightly from Shiozaki, went around Shiozaki, disguised himself, and then started it directly, completely using Shiozaki as a pillar.

Katsumi Ichiro didn't react slowly, but in the face of the sudden start of Budo, he still seemed powerless. His explosive power was not enough to support him to catch up with Budo.However, he couldn't catch up, but Rukawa Kaede could. At the same time as the martial arts "explosively start around the column", Rukawa Kaede directly interspersed into the three-point line, settled down early, and waited for work.

However, the leaders Rukawa Kaede and Katsumi Ichiro were surprised that after Jinguji Budou bypassed Shiozaki, he had no intention of cutting inside. Katsumi Ichiro's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Shh!"

When he and Rukawa Feng looked back, the basketball had already flown over the heads of the crowd, and went straight into the net, making a clear and crisp sound of brushing the net.

"Ohhhhh! Another three-pointer!"

"Two three-pointers in a row! With that dunk, he scored 8 points alone!"

"As expected of Xiangbei's ace card, it's really too strong! A small forward who is more than two meters long can be so accurate in playing dry pull! Who can stop this?!"

"Senior Jinguji's playing style is really good."

Jinguji Budo's consecutive three-pointers made the arena in Xiangbei lively instantly. If Sakuragi Hanamichi's slam dunk successfully mobilized the enthusiasm of the players, then Jinguji Budo's unrestrained performance made everyone feel excited. The hairs stood on end.

Even most of those first-years had never faced Budo directly, but at this moment, they could all feel the desperation of the defenders defending Jinguji Budo.

It's already hard for them to imagine a center with a height of two meters. A small forward with a height of two meters is even good at three-pointers. This has already broken their cognition.

Although the basketball hit the net, Rukawa Kaede and Katsumi Ichiro both withdrew their gazes and focused on Jinguji Budo.

And Budo obviously didn't take such a goal to heart. Such a goal was no longer difficult for him. At the moment the basketball hit the net, he was already on the way back to defense. Feng and the others left behind a shadow.

"His projection, as terrible as ever."

Rukawa Feng secretly sighed in his heart, after a brief absence, the fighting spirit was re-gathered in his eyes.

He, Rukawa Feng, was never someone who would be easily defeated!
No, no one can beat him!

Between offense and defense, Rukawa Kaede was finally unwilling to be lonely. Not long after Kiyota Nobunaga crossed the center line with the ball, he immediately asked Kiyota Nobunaga for the ball.

Seeing this, Nobunaga Kiyota hesitated for a while, but gave some advance and sent a pass to Kaede Rukawa.

Rukawa Kaede, who was originally close to the three-point line and backed the basket, hurriedly took a step forward, took the ball in his hand, and was more than one meter away from the three-point line. He caught the ball and turned to face the frame.

And Bu Dao didn't mean to chase too much, but simply moved his footsteps sideways, still standing inside the three-point line, looking at Rukawa Kaede.

"good chance!"

The moment Rukawa Feng turned around, he saw where Budao was standing. One meter away from the three-point line, he raised the ball directly and was about to take a long shot.Seeing this, Wu Dao on the defensive side narrowed his pupils slightly, instead of stepping forward, his center of gravity sank by two points, staring at the basketball.

The moment Rukawafeng looked at the basket, he noticed Budo's movement from the corner of his eye, thinking that this movement was a breakthrough after he guarded against his fake shooting.So I didn't care, and shot directly.

However, at the second when the basketball left his hand, Jinguji Budao, who was one meter away from him, suddenly rose on the spot. A big hand covered the sky and the sun, and instantly blocked Rukawa Feng's sight. The next second, With a sound of "bang", a red light flew past Rukawa Feng's ear rapidly, bringing a gust of wind.

And just after the basketball was blocked by Budo, the Budo that landed quickly started, passed Rukawa Kaede in the blink of an eye, picked up the basketball on the ground in the frontcourt, and rushed towards the first-year basket.

Rukawa Feng stood there blankly, with a dazed face, and couldn't believe what happened in front of him.

Jinguji Budou actually blocked his three-pointer at a position more than one meter away from him? !
"Boom!!!"

Jinguji Budo, who was single-player and fast-breaker, also became a bit playful. He wanted to show off his strength.

The explosive and gorgeous slam dunk left the first-year freshmen stunned for a while, and even the second and third-year players who knew martial arts before and had watched martial arts play were only stunned for a while.

Although Coach Anxi looked calm off the court, no one noticed that Coach Anxi's hands holding the teacup had turned white due to too much force.

"Sophomore. I just started my sophomore year!"

Coach Anxi felt emotional in his heart, the corners of his eyes were already a little wet, and he suddenly felt that God still cared for him.

The spectators who watched the game erupted in cheers, whether they were freshmen or seniors, they all cheered for Budo.The cheers in the arena also attracted some passing students.

After a while, the arena in Xiangbei had many more students watching the excitement.

Even the people from Xiangbei High School News Agency were moved by the news.

Originally, the news agency led by Mari Kawai planned to do a "roadside interview at the start of school" today, but when interviewing students in the playground near the arena, they suddenly found people running towards the arena one after another, and they also smelled it at the moment The taste of "big event" ran towards the arena.

The basketball club of Xiangbei High School performed well last year, and Jinguji Budo became famous all over the country, but this is also what happened in the campus basketball circle.The news agency led by Mari Kawai, a girl who doesn't like sports, didn't pay attention to the basketball team before, which is normal.

And when Mari Kawai and a group of students from the news agency came to the arena, there were already many students surrounded by three floors outside the court.

When Mari Kawai squeezed through the crowd and came to the front row, she just happened to see a tall boy with red hair in a blue team uniform, leaping past her eyes, invading the basket in an instant, and flying in the air A boy with squinting eyes was caught, and he forced the ball into the basket.

"Boom!!"

After a loud noise, as the red-haired boy scored a dunk, the surrounding audience immediately burst into cheers.

The scoreboard flipped and the score came to 18:12. The red-haired boy's blue team scored 12 points in total.

"What the hell is going on?!"

Even Mari Kawai, who doesn’t know much about basketball, was shocked by the dunk performed by Sakuragi Hanamichi. The violent aesthetics of this dunk made her, a girl who had never touched basketball, feel a burst of enthusiasm. This wonderful feeling, Mari Kawai has never had it.

Her eyes were also instantly attracted by Yingmu Huadao.

On the court, between offense and defense, the basketball fell into the hands of a tall and handsome boy. Mari Kawai looked at the height of the person holding the ball, and hey, hey, his mouth grew.

But when the basketball fell into the hands of the handsome boy, the audience who were still cheering all closed their mouths and looked at the person holding the ball with bated breath.

Suddenly, the boy raised the ball, as if he wanted to shoot, and as the boy swayed, the bang-haired handsome boy from the blue team on the opposite side raised his footsteps and stretched out his hand to block it.In the next second, the center of gravity of the boy holding the ball dropped sharply, and he stepped out with his right foot towards his side, while the handsome man with bangs who was defending also reacted quickly, pulling his footsteps and adjusting his posture.

But the young man with the ball who made a breakthrough suddenly withdrew his feet, and after continuing to increase his movements, he pulled out his hand on the spot.

And as the handsome boy threw the ball, the audience watching the ball in the arena suddenly wailed, especially a group of teenagers in white training uniforms on the sidelines, who howled very loudly.

"Shua!!!" With a soft sound, the basketball hit the net, and the wailing of the audience was also a bit louder.

Kawai Mari didn't understand, so she pulled a classmate who was watching the game beside her, and asked in a soft voice
"Student, is this the basketball club? What are you doing?"

However, Kawai Mari's soft-spoken question did not get a soft-spoken answer. The audience immersed in the game was empathizing with Rukawa Kaede, and said angrily:
"Don't you know how to watch it? Let's get over it!"

"It's a pity that the ball still couldn't be defended!"

Mari Kawai's eyes turned to the court again. She had never played basketball before, so she couldn't understand the feelings of this classmate, but at this moment, she had no intention of leaving the arena.She thought, learn about the sport of basketball.
