Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 310 Newbies' First Lesson!
Amidst the referee's whistle, players from Xiangbei High School and Miuradai walked into the court.

And as the players of the two teams came on the stage, there was a deafening cheer from the stands, and then the cheer quickly disappeared.

The audience thought that they would be able to witness the performance of Jinguji Budo, one of the "Kanagawa Twin Stars", in today's competition. Unexpectedly, Shonhoku did not send Jinguji Budo to the stage at all. Not only Jinguji Budo, but Even the senior players such as Mitsui Hisashi and Akagi Takenori did not play.

Instead, a group of new faces.

"The Jinguji Budao in Xiangbei didn't play? Did they send a group of substitutes to play?"

"Who are these people? I've never seen them before! Are they freshmen from Xiangbei High School?"

"Oh! I know that person. He used to be a third grader at Wushi Middle School, Rukawa Kaede! Unexpectedly, he actually went to Xiangbei."

The audience in the stands discussed a lot, some expressed dissatisfaction with the formation of troops in Xiangbei, while some were very interested in the newcomers in Xiangbei.

Yingmu Huadao, who walked into the stadium, listened to the discussions of the people around him, with a look of displeasure.But this emotion didn't last for a few seconds, and was washed away by a sticky "Come on! Sakuragi!"

"Hehehe~ Haruko~" Sakuragi Hanamichi looked in the direction of the voice, and happened to see Haruko in the front row of the stands, waving at him, and immediately showed an idiot-like smile on his face.

"idiot."

Rukawa Kaede cast a disgusted glance at Sakuragi Hanamichi who looked like a nympho, walked into the middle circle and settled down, his eyes sized up the members of Miuradai.

The Miuradai team has a certain reputation in the high school basketball circle in Kanagawa Prefecture.

But never made it to the Final Four round robin.

In terms of team strength, it can be ranked fourth or third in Kanagawa Prefecture.

The height conditions of the Miuradai players this year are not bad. The height of the players is basically around 185cm. Even the guard is over 180cm. Such a height condition is quite good in the high school competitions in the county. OK.

Rukawa Kaede simply scanned the Miuradai players, and silently settled in the middle circle.

"My uncle finally ushered in the first match of high school!"

"Let the audience in Kanagawa see and see, my uncle is amazing!"

"Oh, are you my opponent in this game?!"

Nango Koichiro stood on the center line with his hands on his hips, and looked down at Miuradai's center forward with a look of disdain.

The Miuradai center forward who was facing Nanxiang didn't speak, but raised his head slightly to look at Nanxiang, with a smile of unknown meaning on his face.

As the players of the two teams settled in the middle circle, the referee walked into the court with the basketball.

"Beep!"

After a whistle, the basketball was thrown into the air.

"Ola~~"

The basketball went into the air, Nango Koichiro seized the right time, jumped up with a strange cry, and easily moved the ball to the backcourt. Kiyota Nobunaga firmly grasped the ball in his hand, and shouted excitedly:
"Quick attack!"

And as Kiyota Nobunaga's voice fell, the Xiangbei team members had already started running.However, Miuratai's return to defense speed was not bad. When the Xiangbei people entered the front field, they also quickly returned to the field and settled down, without giving Xiangbei a chance to make a surprise attack.

Seeing that the fast break was not successful, Qingtian also slowed down his pace of advancement, began to adjust his rhythm, and prepared to fight.

"The speed of returning to defense is not bad."

"There is no chance of fast break."

Kiyota Nobunaga whistled, his tone was frivolous, and he didn't pay attention to the Miuradai players at all.After briefly observing Miuradai's defensive formation, he plans to go solo first and try Miuratai's point guard.

Miuradai used a man-to-man tactic, and since Sakuragi, Nango, and Ryumasa Oda were all positioned relatively close to the inside line, the defense near the paint was quite strong.

Kiyota Nobunaga obviously noticed this, slowly took the ball, and led the defender along the three-point arc to the left corner (45° direction).

Taking a quick glance at the attack time, Kiyota Nobunaga suddenly changed his rhythm, dropped his center of gravity, and broke through directly.The Miuradai point guard, who maintained a high center of gravity to pursue and defend, obviously did not expect Kiyota's breakthrough to be so sudden and fast.

"So weak." Kiyota Nobunaga easily passed through the opponent, even after passing the opponent, he even looked back at the opponent, marched to the middle distance, and directly threw the shot.

Shooting without pressure, Kiyota Nobunaga's throw shot hit the basket steadily.

Xiangbei High School, which successfully completed the first attack, began to retreat quickly.Kiyota Nobunaga's performance also drew cheers from the audience.

It's not that Kiyota Nobunaga's goal was so wonderful, it's just that most of the audience supported Xiangbei High School.They are not stingy with their applause for Xiangbei.

"It's off to a good start."

Off the court, Hisashi Mitsui saw his teammates scoring first, looked at Kiyota, and said with a smile.

"Well, a good start."

"But if you get carried away, you will suffer."

Wu Dao also smiled when he heard the words, stretched his waist, and said casually.

Hearing this, Mitsui Shou nodded slightly, and looked at the court expectantly, wanting to see how the freshmen of his team would play.

The strength of Miuradai's team is indeed below the middle level, but...
In the court, the offense and defense switch.

Miuratai, who conceded a goal, quickly brought the ball into the frontcourt. Using a pick-and-roll, Miuratai covered the defender's breakthrough.

Originally, a pick-and-roll of this level couldn't stop Nobunaga Kiyota, who had been prepared for a long time, but No. 4, who was doing the pick-and-roll, deliberately turned sideways during the pick-and-roll, tripping Nobunaga Kiyota.Although Kiyota Nobunaga relied on his excellent coordination to stand firm and not fall, the pursuit speed also slowed down.

The Miuratai defender who broke through successfully made a mid-range shot, and the basketball collapsed out of the frame.

"Hahaha!! The rebound is mine!"

When Nango Koichiro saw the rebound, he shouted excitedly and easily took the best spot. Just as he was about to take off and put the ball in his arms, Miuradai's center forward hit Nango Kou with a dark elbow. Ichiro's belly.Nanxiang, who was holding his breath and accumulating energy, was in pain, and his movements froze. The falling basketball was lightly tapped by the center of Miuradai, and it was added into the basket.

"That bastard!!"

It wasn't the first day for Nango Koichiro to play, and when he noticed the opponent's small movements, the smile on his face instantly subsided, and he glared at the leaving Miuradai team members with an angry look on his face.

He didn't argue with the referee. After all, he is not a rookie, and he also plays the center position where the physical confrontation is the most intense. Although this kind of thing is not encountered many times, it is not unheard of.

He just didn't expect to meet this kind of player in the first game of the high school county competition.

Unlike the dark elbow on Nanxiang's side, Qingtian didn't notice the problem of the opponent's pick-and-roll just now, and only thought that he accidentally tripped over it.

"Hey, red-haired monkey, and that Xiaotian, that center forward's hands and feet are not clean, be careful."

Nango suffered a disadvantage and reminded Hanamichi Sakuragi and Ryumasa Oda that both of them can be regarded as insiders, and it is inevitable that they will have contact with the center of Miuradai.

Although Yingmu Huadao is a rookie with a lot of balls, he has never encountered such a person when he played in the team practice game. He couldn't understand the "hands and feet are not clean" in Nanxiang's mouth, and he looked at a loss.

"Hands and feet are not clean"

"Those guys, are they so unhygienic?"

Sakuragi Hanadao narrowed his eyes in disgust.He is a good young man who pays attention to hygiene. He has to take care of his hair for half an hour before going out. He hates people who don't pay attention to hygiene the most!
Kiyota Nobunaga looked at Sakuragi speechlessly, and he also heard Nango's words when he came to catch the ball.However, he didn't intend to explain this to Sakuragi. Sakuragi wouldn't have an intuitive feeling for this kind of thing just by listening to it.

At the same time, Qingtian himself kept an eye out, and after receiving Nanxiang's serve, his speed of advancement also increased.

"The hands and feet are not clean. Then speed up!"

Kiyota Nobunaga thought to himself, and shouted at the team members: "Speed ​​up! Play fast break!"

Under the leadership of Kiyota Nobunaga, Shonhoku High School began to speed up. Although Sakuragi was stupid and didn't know what happened, his running speed also increased.

In the blink of an eye, everyone in Xiangbei pushed into the frontcourt, and the first-year team without Katsumi Ichiro did not play a triangle offense.Kiyota Nobunaga also had no idea of ​​playing tactics. After entering the frontcourt, he went straight to the frontcourt, attacked the opponent's point guard alone, and then made a mid-range shot.

Kiyota Nobunaga's shooting percentage was mediocre. The basketball slid around the rim before falling outwards.However, the ball just left the basket and was directly dunked into the net by Hanamichi Sakuragi who rushed into the basket.

At the bottom of the basket, the Miuradai center, who used the same trick to make a dark elbow, thought that the rebound was sure to be sure, but he didn't expect a Sakuragi Hanamichi to come out at this time, and Sakuragi rode to complete the dunk.

"Haha! The first ball in the high school competition!"

"I am the genius Yingmu Huadao, remember everything for me!!"

Sakuragi, who scored a slam dunk, roared happily and introduced himself, completely unaware that the center of Miuradai's face was already gloomy enough to drip water.

Sakuragi's putback and dunk was really beautiful. While the audience cheered, they really remembered the red-haired young man from Xiangbei High School.

"Sakuragi Flower Road, Xiangbei High School, there are also excellent first graders!"

In a corner of the stand, Hainan's tall coach unfolded a folding fan in his hand, stared at Sakuragi in the field, and chuckled lightly.

"It looks pretty good, but... still not as good as our first graders in Hainan!"

Mu Shenyi sat next to Coach Gao and watched the game. While speaking, he turned his head to look at the players sitting next to him with a satisfied expression.

Sitting next to Mu Shenyi was a freshman who joined Hainan High School this year. Coach Gao Tou spent a lot of time trying to lure him to Hainan.

Mori Shigehiro.

Aichi Prefecture native, freshman in high school.

16 years old, height 199cm, weight 100kg, wingspan 218cm.

The standing height is 259cm, and the running height is 363cm.

A young man with talent written all over his body.

"Hehehe, Hiroshi, Shonhoku High School is one of the best teams in Kanagawa Prefecture."

"Our Hainan has only two opponents in the county, and they are Xiangbei, one of them."

"It's a pity that their main players didn't play in today's game. Originally, you could see how the top scorers in the country play."

"But it doesn't matter, you will always meet, and I believe that as long as you and Amu work together, we in Hainan will definitely be ashamed this year!"

"huh huh huh huh!!"

Coach Gaotou said, with a smile on his face, and the smile became more and more unbridled.

While coach Gao Tou was communicating with the players, the competition on the court became more and more intense.

However, the fierceness mentioned here does not mean that the two teams have similar scores and the competition is fierce.It means that the actions of the players of the two teams have become more and more "intense".

Although Miuradai's players are of average level and have a lot of loopholes in defense, they have a lot of tricks when they play.And Yingmu Huadao and the others are also young players. It is impossible for Sakuragi to bear such a violent temper, so he directly played an eye for an eye with an eye for an eye.

It's just that this kid doesn't have much experience, and his movements are also very large. No, in just a few minutes, Sakuragi has already committed two fouls.Fortunately, the referee didn't judge him for a malicious foul, otherwise Sakuragi would have been cleared long ago.

Not only Hanamichi Sakuragi, Nango Koichiro and Kiyota Nobunaga were also found out by their opponents, their anger was also seduced, and each committed a foul.

Oda Ryumasa, who was fairly calm in character, did not become Miuradai's target, and Rukawa Kaede, who had a cool personality, was not provoked at all, and the opponent's small actions had little influence on him at all.

Rukawa Kaede wanted to attack, and the opponent couldn't keep up with his rhythm at all, let alone making small moves against him, it was very difficult to touch him.After all, Miuradai wasn't a criminal so rampant as to be blatant.

But even so, Xiangbei's offensive efficiency has somewhat declined. Sakuragi, Nango, and Kiyota were affected and couldn't concentrate on the game. The offensive pressure all fell on Rukawa Kaede alone.

And because of this, Rukawa Feng played an amazing performance in this game.

In the 16 minutes of the game, the score of the two teams came to 43:29. Shohoku High School had the ball, and Kaede Rukawa received the ball sideways from the bull horn on the right.

As the basketball entered Rukawa Kaede's hands, amazing cheers erupted from the surrounding stands.

Surrounded by the cheers, Rukawa Kaede's expression remained unchanged, he stepped a little, quickly swept the ball basket, and at the same time feinted with the ball, three threats.The Miuradai players defending Rukawa Kaede overreacted to every movement of Rukawa Kaede.

Rukawa Kaede was simply feinting with the ball, and the opponent slid ahead of time to block the road, and Rukawa Kaede was fooled directly, leaving a wide advance route free.

Rukawa Kaede, who was holding the ball, did not hesitate at all. He dropped the ball with his left hand and broke through directly.

The unrestrained and elegant shooting movements, handsome and straight face and figure instantly attracted even more enthusiastic cheers from the female audience above the stands.

"Shh!"

The basketball went into the net, and Rukawa Kaede scored his 24th point.

Miuradai's style of play had a great influence on Sakuragi Hanamichi and the others, but it had no effect on Rukawa Kaede. On the contrary, it made Rukawa Kaede's desire to attack even stronger.

"Kid Rukawa Feng, he's doing pretty well!"

"After today's game, I'm afraid the number of fans will double!"

Mitsui Shou looked at a corner of the stand and said with some emotion.There, there were three "gorgeous" girls, screaming Rukawa Kaede's name.Beside the three girls, there was a flag with the inscription "Rukawa Ming", which fluttered without wind, and it was unknown what magical power had been exerted on it.

Rao is Mitsui Hisashi who is well-informed, and this is the first time he has seen such a "professional" cheerleading team.

"It's normal to have a lot of fans."

"He is handsome and plays well. Like me, it is normal for him to be the center of attention."

Bu Dao said with a smile, completely ignoring Mitsui Shou's eyes.At this point in the game, the suspense has actually been lost. It is impossible for a school of Miuradai's level to stop Rukawa Kaede who is fully fired.

But it's not enough for Rukawa Feng to perform well.

"Damn it!!!"

"That stinky fox actually stole my limelight!!!"

"These bastards from Miuradai... dare to underestimate this genius!"

"Can't forgive! Can't forgive these bastards!"

"I'm going to kill you! Bastard!"

Hearing the cheers from the audience around him, Sakuragi Hanagi's handsome face flushed. Seeing the Miuradai teammate who was facing him come to him, his eyes were already a little red. He was obviously a young athlete, but at this time he was Exuding majestic murderous aura~
