Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 342 Broken, Sakuragi is inflated!
"It's impossible to go on like this!"

"We have to find a way to suppress this kid."

When Coach Tian Gang was thinking about how to deal with Sakuragi Hanamichi, a freshman, Lingnan High School used Sendo's singles to pierce the defense line of Xiangbei High School. Cast a true pass and sent an assist to the vacant Fukuda Yoshio.

Although Nango Koichiro was aware of it and prepared to supplement the defense early, Fukuda's attack speed was so fast that he couldn't block the block at all.

Basketball into the net, easy to switch offense and defense.

Jinguji Budao's reminder before seemed to have some effect. In this attack, Sakuragi Hanadao's running speed was obviously slower.

Sakuragi Hanamichi imitated Nango's appearance, and he was faster than Kiyota Nobunaga who was holding the ball. When Kiyota crossed the center line with the ball, Sakuragi Hanamichi had just crossed the three-point line.

Generally speaking, his running can match the offensive speed of Xiangbei High School at this time, and his ability to learn and comprehend is quite good.

"Sakuragi slowed down."

"It's not bad, I didn't enter the frontcourt in a hurry like just now."

"I didn't waste my mouth."

Budou looked at Sakuragi Hanadao who was slowly approaching the paint area, and said with a smile, but soon, his smile froze on his face.

The previous few goals seemed to make Hanamichi Sakuragi unable to recognize himself. At this time, when Nobunaga Kiyoda was approaching the three-point line, he turned around and stuck Yoshio Fukuda behind him. Hand wants the ball.

This time, Yingmu Huadao actually asked for it, wanting to play singles with the ball.

"What is this guy doing?!"

"Want to play singles?"

"This idiot, can't you recognize yourself?!"

Kiyota Nobunaga saw that Sakuragi Hanamichi was actually raising his hand to ask for the ball, and immediately cursed in a low voice. In Kiyota Nobunaga's view, it was just a coincidence and accident.

Many golfers have that moment when, at a certain moment, they are blessed to the soul and can do actions that they can't do normally.

But that is accidental after all, there is no way to use it as a conventional weapon.

Although he thought so in his heart, Nobunaga Kiyota chose to pass the ball after a breakthrough feint, and directly lobbed the ball to Hanamichi Sakuragi.

The reason why Kiyota passed the ball to Sakuragi was not because he believed in Sakuragi Hanamichi, but because he wanted Sakuragi to see his strength clearly and not to do unnecessary things!
"Crack!" After the basketball started, Hanamichi Sakuragi grinned and tilted his head slightly. From the corner of his eye, he looked at Yoshio Fukuda, who was serious about defending, and said with a smile:

"Are you going to stop this genius?! Can you do it?"

While talking, Sakuragi Hanamichi quickly half-turned and swept the ball frame with a smile. The simple tentative step actually easily shook Fukuda Yoshio's defensive center of gravity.

Seeing the opportunity presented, Yingmu Huadao did not hesitate at all, and directly rushed towards the left drop ball.

Yingmu Huadao's basic skills are very solid. Although he has only played for a year, he already has the ability to use his weak side to assist offense.After breaking through Fukuda Jizhao, Sakuragi Hanamichi dribbled the ball and started it directly. After two strides, he directly entered the paint area.

"Success!!!"

"Genius Sakuragi's layup stunt!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at the empty basket and shouted excitedly, raising the ball for a layup.Jun Uozumi who was under the basket was delayed by Nango Koichiro, and was half a step behind before rushing to Sakuragi. He jumped up and sealed the basketball in Sakuragi's hand with his arms raised high.

And at this moment, Hanamichi Sakuragi's smile became even brighter as he raised the ball for a layup.Grabbing the ball with his right hand, he did the same trick again, and retracted it into his arms. Relying on the terrifying bounce and lingering in the air, he once again avoided the fish's block, and then stretched out his hand again to send the ball to the basket.

"Crack~"

With a pull hook under the basket, the basketball hit the backboard and rebounded into the basket.

With a stretched layup, Sakuragi Hanamichi perfectly reproduced his previous goal, and once again forcibly broke through Uozumi's defense and sent the ball into the basket.

"What the hell!!!"

"That guy actually scored a layup with a drawbar again?!"

Kiyota Nobunaga opened his mouth in astonishment, and shouted in disbelief.He thought that Sakuragi's pull-bar layup before was just accidental, but now it seems that it is not!

Sakuragi Hanamichi has indeed mastered the technique of the pull-up layup, and the angle of the two layups is not the conventional angle. In other words, Sakuragi's layup technique has also been greatly improved!

"How is it possible! How could the red-haired monkey be able to master the pull-up layup?!"

"This guy, I heard from the seniors in Xiangbei that the red-haired monkey only started playing when he was in middle school, and it's only been a year since then."

"Not only dribbling and shooting, but now he even masters the drawbar?!"

As a teammate, Kiyota Nobunaga is very aware of Sakuragi Hanamichi's growth trajectory. In one year, Sakuragi Hanamichi has grown from a pure rookie who doesn't understand anything to now being able to forcefully score in the hands of a center forward of Uozumi's level. Such a growth rate surprised Kiyota Nobunaga, who claims to be a genius.

Compared to the astonished Kiyota Nobunaga, Rukawa Kaede was going to be much calmer.

There are many players in Xiangbei High School, and there are also many capable players, but in terms of talent, there are only three people that Rukawa is interested in.

Ace Jinguji Budo, a small forward with a height of more than two meters and a speed comparable to that of a guard.

Captain Mitsui Shou, who is over 190cm tall, has a three-point shot and a comprehensive Mitsui Shou.

And the last one is Sakuragi Flower Road.

Even if it is the main center of Xiangbei, Akagi Takenori, Rukawa Kaede does not recognize the opponent's talent so much.

Yingmu Huadao's talent is all-round, not just reflected in physical fitness.Learning ability, court intuition, a hidden talent without a fixed scale, is as good as Sakuragi.

Without speaking, Rukawa Feng just took a deep look at Sakuragi Hanamichi who was smiling and greeting the sidelines, and quickly returned to the field.

Once again, Yingmu Huadao broke through the line of defense from the front, Uozumi Jun also glanced at the back of Yinggi Huadao with a solemn expression.

"Hmph, kid, next time, you won't be so lucky!"

Uozumi began to look squarely at Sakuragi, and decided to deal with Sakuragi Flower Road seriously.After all, although Jun Uozumi has only played for more than two years, he often encounters Hanamichi Sakuragi's pull-bar layup in team practice games.

Even Shinomiya Tianno and Sendo sometimes make layups that are far more exaggerated than Sakuragi.

Uozumi thinks he has a way to deal with Hanamichi Sakuragi's pull-bar layup.

During the transition between offense and defense, Lingnan High School quickly launched an attack. After taking the ball into the frontcourt, Fujima swayed his body with continuous changes in front of his body, mobilizing Kiyota Nobunaga's defensive position, and then made a wrong step to break through directly. After passing Kiyota's defense, Miu passed to Uozumi when cutting to the basket.

The fish holding the ball turned around halfway under the basket and sent the ball into the net with a small hook.

Lingnan's offense was very steady. Even facing the freshmen in Xiangbei, the team members did not relax on the offensive end.Yingmu Huadao and the others are indeed good in their individual strength, but overall, their defensive ability is not that strong.

Rukawa Kaede's single defense is good, Sakuragi's single defense is not bad, and the other few single defenses are also remarkable, but when these proud guys form a group, the defense becomes full of flaws.

These first graders from Xiangbei joined Xiangbei's training as early as in junior high school, but after training together for so long, these guys still don't have much tacit understanding with each other.

When attacking, you can't see it clearly, but when defending, you can't see it all at once.

If you lack defense, make up for it with offense.

Although the first graders like Yingmu Huadao are young, they still see some things relatively openly.

Under the high frequency of offensive and defensive transitions, Kiyota Nobunaga also intends to increase his speed.After receiving the ball in the backcourt, he quickly dribbled the ball towards the frontcourt. Although Hanamichi Sakuragi didn't know what "integrated offensive rhythm" is, he saw that Kiyota Nobunaga suddenly accelerated, and he followed suit. of acceleration.

There is no need for teammates to remind or anything.

As Shohoku High School approached the frontcourt, when Sakuragi Hanamichi, who had just crossed the three-point line, was running towards the inside, Kiyota Nobunaga directly hit the ground with a long pass and sent the ball into Sakuragi Hanamichi's hands.

"Well?!"

The basketball was passed into the hands of Sakuragi on the move at the right time. In fact, Sakuragi Hanamichi has never handled this kind of ball. He will only attack after holding the ball in the middle distance. Wooden will not.

As soon as the basketball started, Fukuda Yoshioka's body quickly blocked Sakuragi.Sakuragi Hanamichi, who couldn't draw a breakthrough picture in his mind, subconsciously stopped the ball, then turned his back, hugged the ball to his chest, and turned around to sweep the ball again foolishly.

Yingmu Huadao, who didn't adapt to the current offensive rhythm, was a little stiff, which was very different from his previous one.

"It seems that Sakuragi doesn't have the ability to hold a spherical basket at all." Budou looked at Sakuragi Hanadao's stiff movements, and suddenly thought of something, raised his brows, with an ominous premonition.

Sure enough, Hanamichi Sakuragi, who was holding the ball with both hands, broke through to the left and swayed to the left. However, Yoshio Fukuda stood in front of him expressionlessly, holding his hands high, unmoved at all.

Sakuragi, who has already joined the ball, is simply impossible to drop the ball and rush forward.

Sakuragi now has to either pass or vote. In this case, how can it be possible to let Fukuda Jizhao take advantage of it? !
After several consecutive trials, cold sweat oozes from Yingmu Huadao's forehead
"Damn it!" Yingmu Huadao would not admit that he, as a genius, does not have the ability to face the basket.After cursing in a low voice, he ignored the calls of his outside teammates to pass the ball, and directly forced himself to shoot.

What greeted him was Fukuda Yoshio's sturdy big hat
"what!!!"

"Red-haired monkey, you idiot!"

Kiyota Nobunaga saw that Sakuragi was covered, and while running towards the basketball, he cursed at Sakuragi.Perhaps because of the addition of anger, Nobunaga Kiyota inadvertently burst out of power when he was grabbing the ball, and he overwhelmed Kenji Fujima, took the lead by two, and took the ball in his hands first.

This time, Kiyota Nobunaga no longer believed in Sakuragi. He made a back pass while dribbling and quickly directed the ball to Katsumi Ichiro on the outside. maple.

Rukawa Kaede, who was half a step outside the three-point line, received the ball, swept the ball, made a tentative step, and pulled back to shoot the ball in one go.The moment Xiandao raised his center of gravity, Rukawa Kaede blew the ball down, took a step across, and then directly joined the ball and made an emergency stop for a jump shot.

Xiandao Akira couldn't fully react to the chic and quick shot. When Rukawa Kaede shot the basketball, Xiandao could only interfere with it by raising his hand, but it didn't work on Rukawa Kaede's projection.

"Shua!" As the basketball hit the net with a soft sound, Rukawa Kaede successfully made up for Hanamichi Sakuragi's mistake and scored the ball.

Seeing the basketball hit the net, Shonhoku's bench cheered. Kiyota Nobunaga, who grabbed the ball, also heaved a sigh of relief, and then glared at Hanamichi Sakuragi.

However, Yingmu Huadao was unconscious at this time, and while returning to the scene, he muttered something angrily, without thinking, he knew that he was slandering Rukawa Feng.

"Hey, hey, why do I feel a little bad!"

"Coach Anxi, do you want to take advantage of the good situation and call Sakuragi down first?"

"I feel that this kid will do something bad!"

Mitsui Shou is also quite familiar with Sakuragi Hanamichi's character, seeing Sakuragi Hanamichi's indignant look, Mitsui Shou asked with some concern.

"It's not necessary. Sakuragi's concentration is still enough. Sooner or later, you will eat this kind of slump. After eating, you will know that you have to work hard."

"I think it's fine."

Unlike Mitsui Hisashi, Akagi Takenori is very open-minded. He thinks he has grasped Coach Anzai's thoughts, and knows that the rest of the game should be used to experience the first grade in Xiangbei, so Sakuragi suffers, but he is Happy to see it happen.

Bu Dao didn't speak, turned his head to look at Coach Anxi, quietly observed Coach Anxi's expression, and then turned his eyes to the field again.

This time, Budo is different from Akagi, he agrees with Mitsui Shou's idea.

Because Budao knows that Yingmu Huadao is not the kind of person who gives up lightly, and Yinggi's character is very axis.

This also means that the seal of Fukuda Yoshioka will not make Sakuragi long-term memory, but it will have the opposite effect. In order to prove himself, Sakuragi, I am afraid.
On the court, Lingnan High School used the mutual cover between the players to give Chishang an open mid-range shot. However, this defensive expert's offensive ability is really average. Nango Koichiro held it in his hand.

Between the offensive and defensive transitions, Xiangbei launched a fast break.

Kiyota Nobunaga dribbled the ball forward at high speed, and Sakuragi Hanamichi, who ran faster, entered the opponent's three-point line early and had a good chance.

On Lingnan's side, the rest of the team's defensive pursuit was very good. Only Fukuda Yoshio lost his position under Sakuragi's off-ball shaking, which gave Sakuragi a good chance to catch the ball.

Seeing this scene, Kiyota Nobunaga actually didn't want to pass the ball, but it was impossible to give up such a good opportunity.

The ball hit the ground while walking, and the basketball directly spanned a small half of the court and was accurately sent into the hands of Sakuragi Hanamichi.

In northern Hunan, Kiyota Nobunaga, who was trained as a point guard, gradually discovered his talent.

"Good job! Wild Monkey!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi received the ball and shouted happily.And the moment he took the ball, Fukuda Yoshio quickly came to his side, stretched out his hand to block Sakuragi's sight, and at the same time quickly circled forward, trying to stop Sakuragi.

Just when everyone thought that Sakuragi would be forced to stop again, Sakuragi, who caught the ball, suddenly joined the ball after a blow-up. After two big strides, one left and one right, he directly crossed Fukuda Yoshio and headed towards the basket. .

"Brother Wu Dao's footsteps are not difficult!"

While whispering, Sakuragi took another step subconsciously, and then took off for a layup belatedly.

Without any accident, the basketball hit the net, but the referee's whistle sounded at the right time.

"Walking... this idiot..."
