Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 297 The main players in Xiangbei!

"The strength is not bad, it is almost the same as when it was in our country."

Shinomiya Tianye is obviously interested in Sakuragi Hanadao. Although he beat Sakuragi Hanadao for the block just now, such a block has already made Shinomiya Tianye use all his strength.Ever since he entered high school, Yingmu Huadao was the first opponent who required him to use all his strength to block shots. Such a person had never appeared even in the national youth team.

Yingmu Huadao's ability in some aspects is already at the top level in the country!
"In time, this red-haired kid will definitely become one of our strongest opponents in Lingnan High School!"

"In Lingnan in the future, it may be difficult to stop this kid."

"However, that must be after I leave Lingnan!"

Shinomiya Tianye thought to himself, at the same time, Xiandao and Fujima Kenji had already crossed the center line and ran towards the frontcourt.On the Xiangbei side, Katsumi Ichiro, Rukawa Kaede, and Kiyota Nobunaga all ran back on the way back to defense.Shinomiya Tianye looked towards the frontcourt, and threw the ball with a flick of his hand.

Shinomiya's pass was surprisingly strong, and in the blink of an eye, the basketball caught up with Xiandao and the others from behind and landed in front of Xiandao.

Xiandao grabbed the ball in his hands and accelerated towards the basket. At the same time, Rukawa Feng had already chased beside him and did not take the initiative to steal it. Instead, he followed Xiandao closely and exerted pressure.

As Xiandao crossed the three-point line, he suddenly slowed down while holding the ball. The moment he joined the ball, he strode left and right while holding the ball with both hands and swinging his arms sharply.

Xiandao's strange rushing rhythm suddenly crossed Rukawa Kaede's defense line, easily invaded the basket, and sent the ball into the basket with a backhand layup.

Xiandao, who scored the goal, smiled at Rukawa Feng, and then quickly returned to defense.

"." Rukawa Feng looked at the back of Xiandao leaving, heaved a sigh of relief, walked to the basket and grabbed the ball forcefully in his hands, as if to vent his depression.

When Kiyota returned to the court, Rukawa Feng gave the ball out, and then quickly ran towards the front court without saying a word.

Kiyota Nobunaga, who was catching the ball, could clearly feel that the aura around Kaede Rukawa passing by him had changed a lot.He could feel that Rukawa Feng's game concentration became even higher.

"The genius Xiandao of Lingnan High School puts a lot of pressure on Rukawa Feng!"

Kiyota Nobunaga secretly sighed in his heart, and expressed his understanding of his teammates being in such a state.

It's not the first day he and Kaede Rukawa have been teammates. He has had a lot of contact with Kaede Rukawa since he came to Xiangbei for training in the third year of junior high school. I know, Rukawa Feng is stronger than himself!
Not only myself, but looking at the entire Xiangbei High School, there may be only one player who can be said to be a stable Rukawa Kaede.

Nobunaga Kiyota has never seen the scene of a bullfight between Rukawa Kaede and captain Mitsui Hisashi, but on the court, the two men are at best on the offensive end. Maybe Mitsui Shou is better in terms of scoring ability, but that is It is based on the situation that Mitsui Shou has teammates to assist.

If it is a single defense, Rukawa Kaede alone can more or less limit Mitsui Shou's attack, but conversely, Mitsui Shou alone can hardly limit Rukawa Kaede's attack.

But in today's game, from the beginning to the present, Rukawa Feng has not been able to successfully limit Xiandao even once.Although Lingnan High School's possession of the ball is in the hands of Shinomiya Tianye most of the time, every time Xiandao has an offensive opportunity, he can grasp it without even a single mistake.

"This year's Lingnan High School is even scarier than before."

"Shinomiya Tianye's style of play is becoming more and more mature, and his ability to play singles with sticks, no one in the whole country can compete with him."

"If there is only one Sinomiya Tianye in Lingnan, this team will be difficult to deal with at best."

"But when Xiandao is also surrounded by Shinomiya Tianye, this team becomes extremely terrifying."

"Even with teammates below the third level, this team is not something the first graders can handle."

"Don't say that Rukawa Feng and the others can't restrain Shinomiya Tianye's offensive, even if they can restrain Shinomiya Tianye, I'm afraid they won't have the energy to control Xiandao and the others."

Jinguji Budao watched the game on the field, sighed, and shook his head.

This year's Lingnan is very strong, this point has been expected in martial arts, but he did not expect that this year's Lingnan is actually so strong.

To be honest, Budo is not sure that he can stop the opponent just by watching Shinomiya Tianye's current ability from the sidelines.

In the court, the offense and defense switch.

Nobunaga Kiyota, who was holding the ball, chose to break through by himself in the face of Tomoyuki Uekusa's defense.

Compared with the experienced and agile Fujima Kenji, Uekusa Tomoyuki is undoubtedly much easier to deal with.

Kiyota Nobunaga stopped and started quickly, easily got rid of the opponent's defense and cut to the basket.

However, when he was just approaching the free throw line, Shinomiya Tianno, who was guarding the inside line, had stepped forward at this moment, looked at Nobunaga Kiyota with a smile, and waited for Nobunaga Kiyota's next move.

Facing the No. [-] trump card of Lingnan High School, Shinomiya Tano, who easily blocked Hanamichi Sakuragi, Kiyota was obviously afraid, and instead of choosing to force a layup, he passed the ball to the side and also cooperated with the cut. Rukawa Maple inside.

However, Kiyota Nobunaga had just sent the ball away, and Shinomiya Tianye on the opposite side seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and his figure flashed, and he rushed towards Rukawa Kaede.

Rukawa Kaede, who was catching the ball, saw Shinomiya Tianno rushing towards him, and slightly raised his head to look at the basket. His action instantly aroused the vigilance of Xiandao who was chasing him, and while reaching out to cover Rukawa Kaede's sight, he chased , and drove Rukawa Feng towards the defense area where Shinomiya Tianye was located.

"Eating double-team!"

Seeing this, Mitsui Shou clenched his fists and let out a low cry.

And Kaede Rukawa on the court was obviously aware of his situation, and decisively passed the ball back to Katsumi Ichiro who was beyond the three-point line. Rukawa Feng came running, looking out of the situation, and created a huge defensive gap.

"good chance!"

Mitsui's eyes lit up, and just as he finished speaking, the sound of a basketball hitting the net came from the court.

"Beautiful!" Seeing his teammates attack successfully, Mitsui Shou clapped happily. Driven by him, the rest area in Xiangbei also burst into cheers.

"Don't mind, don't mind!"

"Well defended, we returned a ball!"

Aida Yanichi, who watched the game off the field, comforted the players on the field loudly, and his mentality was very good.

But Coach Tian Gang, who was in front of him, didn't look so pretty.

"Three-point shooting is a freshman in Xiangbei High School, and his shooting posture is quite beautiful."

"Seeing him, I seem to see Mitsui Shou from back then."

"Although Fukuda Yoshio's performance on the offensive end is remarkable, this kid is really not good at defense."

"The firepower of the Xiangbei team is quite strong!"

Coach Tian Gang looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help sighing, then turned his head to look at the first-year players in his rest area, and couldn't help shaking his head secretly.

Unlike Xiangbei High School, which is full of talents this year, their Lingnan High School, the freshmen who joined the team this year, do not have any outstanding first-year players.Coach Tian Gang originally thought that relying on their title as the national overlord of Lingnan High School, they would definitely be able to attract many middle school players to join.

But this year's freshman level is really not satisfactory to him. At first, coach Tian Gang thought that this year's freshman class didn't have any outstanding players.But seeing Xiangbei's team playing today, Coach Tian Gang immediately dispelled such thoughts.

Among the first graders Xiangbei played, he only knew Rukawa Feng, and he didn't know any of the rest of the players.

Coach Tian Gang doesn't know where Coach Anxi poached these players. All of them are pretty good at the game, and each has its own characteristics. It is visible to the naked eye.

The ball that was going to be dunked earlier, if the opponent was not Shinomiya Tianye, but someone else, I am afraid that the opponent would have succeeded.

Coach Tian Gang only felt that this year's outstanding high school freshmen in Kanagawa County seemed to be taken away by Xiangbei.

With the development of the game, the hidden dangers of Lingnan High School hidden under the strength of Shinomiya Tianye began to be slowly exposed.

Although Tomoyuki Uecao in the second grade handles the ball steadily, is also very active in defense, and his physical fitness is also extremely abundant under Lingnan's long-term training, but after all, his talent is limited. His speed and explosive power are not as good as those of Kiyota Nobunaga.When facing Nobunaga Kiyota, Kiyota often completes a one-shot.

Fortunately, Kiyota's mid-range shooting ability is average, and Lingnan's inside line has Shinomiya Tianno assisting Sugahira, so Lingnan's defense line was not completely penetrated.

But even if this is the case, Lingnan suffered a considerable blow. Shinomiya Tianchang had to repair the hole where the grass was planted, which led to the insider Nango Koichiro getting a one-on-one chance with Sugahira.Don't look at Nanxiang who was crushed by Yuzhuchun before, after facing Jianping, this guy can be regarded as like a fish in water, and he played very easily.

After playing, Yingmu Huadao has repeatedly failed to attack, but he has helped Xiangbei a lot in terms of rebound control.Many times Rukawa Feng missed a strong hit, it was because of Sakuragi's rebound that Shohoku had a second chance to attack.

As Fukuda Yoshio's playing time increased, his defensive problems were gradually exposed, and Katsumi Ichiro also had the opportunity to fire from the outside.

Although Lingnan High School can maintain their advantage by relying on Shinomiya Tianye's unsolvable attack, in terms of the situation, Xiangbei's side is completely stable.

And this is completely different from the "candle in the wind" state at the beginning of the first half.

At the end of the first half, Lingnan High School led Shonhoku High School by 52 points 33:19. Shinomiya Tianye scored 40 points alone in the first half.

The gap between the two teams is very large, but Coach Anxi feels that it is quite good for the first graders to be able to make such a situation with Lingnan like this.

From the perspective of the point difference alone, in the second half of the first half, after Sakuragi Hanamichi came on the field and Lingnan made a substitution, the point difference between the two teams did not expand further, which is a good point.

And as the whistle sounded for a timeout at halftime, all the Xiangbei players also returned to the rest area.

"Haha, well done, you all played very well, hurry up and rest."

Sakuragi Flower said they left the field, and Mugure Gongyan smiled and handed towels and water to the first-year players, while praising the performance of the players. As a third-year senior, he has no airs at all.

However, the first graders who just came back all looked very bad.

Obviously, these strong young people are quite dissatisfied with the results of their team.

With 19 points behind, no matter Rukawa Kaede, Kiyota Nobunaga, Sakuragi, Nango, Katsumi Ichiro, the outstanding players of the middle school era, they have never experienced such a situation.

Shinomiya Tanno, who scored 40 points in the half, showed a terrifying strength beyond their imagination, allowing these young players to see the apex of high school basketball.

"The first half is over, and the players who just played have a good rest."

"Next, let's take a look at the strength of your seniors."

Not long after Yingmu Huadao and others sat down, Coach Anzai stood up and said to the players:
"Mitsui, Akagi, Chiba, Miyagi, and Budo."

"Taking advantage of this moment of intermission, you guys go to warm up."

Coach Anxi glanced at Jinguji Budo and the others, pushed his glasses, and said with a smile.

After receiving the order, Jinguji Budao and others stood up from their seats, took off their coats, began to change their jerseys, and prepared to warm up for the game.

Budo had already changed his jersey in the second half of the first half. At this time, he stood up from his seat, did a simple stretch on the spot, and said to Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede:

"There is no need to be so depressed, you are still young, and there is room for improvement."

"Look at our match against Lingnan, I hope you can gain something."

"Come on, let's warm up."

After Bu Dao gave a few words of relief, he waved to his teammates, then picked up a basketball from the sidelines, and walked into the court first.

"Oh! Look, those starters from Xiangbei have entered the arena!"

"Have you started warming up?"

"I haven't seen that Jinguji Budao for a few months, so much taller! I couldn't see it when I was sitting before, but now I'm standing under the basket, it's so obvious!"

"It looks as tall as Uozu-senpai. Has he changed to center forward this year?"

With the entry of Jinguji Budao and others, the rest area in Lingnan also had discussions at this moment. The second and third graders of Lingnan High School are familiar with the players from Xiangbei, and they have played against each other before. See Budao now. They entered the arena to warm up, and they all looked around the arena curiously.

"The Lords are here!"

"Uozumi, Hanakata, Fujima, just do some stretching, don't let your body cool down."

"These guys are different from the first graders before."

"Those guys before can only be regarded as appetizers, these few are the powerful enemies you will face this year, cheer up!"

Coach Tian Gang's eyes lit up when he saw everyone in Xiangbei entering the arena. His eyes stayed on Jinguji Budao for a long time, and he turned his head and said to Yuzumi and the others.

Under the instruction of Coach Tianoka, Fujima, Hanakata and others began to do simple stretching to maintain their physical condition.

On the court, Jinguji Budao threw a three-pointer casually, turned his head to look at Shinomiya Tianye and others off the court, and thought to himself:
"Lingnan."

"I will fight you seriously!"
