Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 357 The new generation takes Fengyu lightly!
Fengyu High School is indeed a very good team, there is a tacit understanding among the players, and under the leadership of Nan Lie, this team has been twisted into a rope.

Compared with Feng Yu, who played a lot of games and had a sharp attack, these freshmen from Xiangbei High School seemed a little immature.

However, this does not mean that Shonhoku High School led by Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede will lose to Toyotama.

Fengyu's players are indeed much more mature, and their offense is also very sharp, but these freshmen from Xiangbei High School can use "talent" to make up for their lack of experience.

As the game progressed, the game situation did not go as planned by Jinping at the beginning, where Feng Yu controlled the rhythm of the whole game.

On the contrary, as the game progressed, Xiangbei High School relied on its excellent inside strength and completely took the initiative.

The Shonhoku inner line joined by Sakuragi Hanamichi and Nango Koichiro has completely exploded the inner line of Toyotama High School.

At 13 minutes into the first half, Xiangbei High School had already led the opponent by 36 points at 30:6.

And the most dazzling performance here at Xiangbei High School is not Rukawa Kaede, who has repeatedly broken through Nanlie and scored points. Even though Rukawa Kaede has scored 13 points in this short 14 minutes, it is still not the focus of the audience's attention.

The most eye-catching person in Xiangbei is the red-haired boy who is active in the basket.

"Clang~"

In the stadium, there was a light sound.

Rukawa Feng once again successfully broke through Nan Lie's defense, invaded the three-point line, and then rushed directly to shoot from a high position before Fengyu's replacement came up.A hasty shot missed and the basketball crashed out of the basket.

Rukawa Kaede who made the shot didn't change his expression, he didn't intend to return to defense, but instead looked towards the basket.

"Ohhh!"

"There's another rebound!"

"Well done, stinky fox, I knew you couldn't get in!"

Under the basket, Hanamichi Sakuragi saw that Kaede Rukawa missed the shot, not only did not show disappointment because of the missed shot by his teammates, but shouted excitedly.At the same time, move your body, trying to grab the best rebounding position.

Kishimoto Miri on the defensive side already had the advantage, with a heavy center of gravity, holding Sakuragi behind him.

At the moment when the basketball started to fall, Kishimoto Miri felt that his back was empty, and the force that was pressing on his back suddenly disappeared.

"Um?!"

Just when Mari Kishimoto was surprised, Hanamichi Sakuragi, who was still stuck behind him, vented part of his strength sideways, turned around against Kishimoto's back, and then thrust into Kishimoto's eyes from the side,
"Bang!" Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was stuck in the back seat, sat down on her buttocks and directly pushed Kishimoto away. At the same time, the basketball also fell a certain distance.

"Hahahaha!"

"Successful!"

Hanamichi Sakuragi jumped up excitedly, and directly grabbed the basketball in his hands. Behind him, Miri Kishimoto also tried to snatch the rebound, but his position was poor, and he was not as good as Hanamichi Sakuragi, who jumped with all his strength. There is still a distance of more than 20 centimeters between the hand and the basketball.

It's simply not enough!

Hanamichi Sakuragi, who grabbed the rebound, raised the ball and dangled it on the spot. Kishimoto, who landed on the ground, covered Sakuragi's eyes with one hand, and did not eat his fake moves.

The next moment, Hanamichi Sakuragi straightened up, as if she was about to shoot, but this time, Mari Kishimoto jumped up without hesitation, and sealed the basketball from behind Sakuragi.

However, the moment he jumped up, Sakuragi collected the ball again. After a short period of energy accumulation, when the jumping Mari Kishimoto began to fall, Sakuragi Hanamichi jumped up lightly and shot.

The basketball hit the backboard and hit the net with a crisp sound.

And as Sakuragi Hanamichi successfully scored under the basket, the audience above the stands cheered.

"Ohhhh!!! The guy with the back hair got another rebound! And he scored again! Has he already scored more than ten points?"

"This guy has already grabbed 7 rebounds. His opponent is not enough!"

"The first graders in Xiangbei are so strong, they completely suppressed Fengyu!"

"Without the senior players from Jinguji Budo, Fengyu will be unstoppable! Unexpectedly, Fengyu is so weak that he can't beat Xiangbei's substitute lineup!"

The comments from the audience above the stands spread into the stadium. These words made Kishimoto Miri's face turn pale and turn blue, with a deep anger in his chest, and there was nowhere to vent it.

There is no way, although the audience's words are ugly, but the truth is the most hurtful, isn't it?
So far in the game, Kishimoto Mari can count the rebounds with one slap, and even the fingers of a slap can't be bent, so he has already counted the rebounds he took.

One.

The game lasted 13 minutes. As a power forward, he only got 3 rebounds.And his opponent, Hanamichi Sakuragi, got twice as many rebounds as him.

Scoring aside, in terms of rebounds, the two are completely two-level players.

The reason why Fengyu High School was suppressed by Xiangbei High School was not because Rukawa Kaede's attack was so sharp, but because Sakuragi Hanamichi's rebounds gave Xiangbei High School a chance to attack again.

In fact, in terms of shooting percentage, the overall difference between the two teams is not much, and this also makes rebounding the key to determining the outcome!
Coach Anxi actually saw through the essence of this game early on. When Sakuragi Hanadao began to show his talents, he knew that even if Xiangbei High School didn't let Jinguji Budou and the others play, it was impossible to lose this game. Contest.

At 38:30, with Hanamichi Sakuragi's second attack, the difference between the two teams has reached 8 points.In the Xiangbei rest area, the substitute players cheered loudly. They already felt that the victory was close at hand, and they all showed great enthusiasm.

On the contrary, Fengyu's bench was completely silent at this time, and coach Jinping looked at the court with a solemn expression, and couldn't think of any good way to help the team recover from the disadvantage.

The rebound is completely blown by the opponent, how to play?
This kind of problem, even if it is solved by a better coach, I am afraid it cannot be solved.

For any team, if they can't control the rebounds, it will become very difficult to win.

Unless the opponent has no offensive ability, but obviously, these people from Xiangbei High School have good offensive power.

Another situation is that they have an absolutely overwhelming advantage on the offensive end, and the team's overall shooting percentage is far higher than that of their opponents.

But judging from the current game situation, the efficiency of one attack of the two teams is actually not much different.

Faced with such a gap in the team's hard power, Coach Jinping really doesn't know how to adjust to help his teammates win.

And while Coach Jinping was thinking about countermeasures, a sudden change emerged in the stadium.

With the help of Kishimoto's high-position pick-and-roll, Nan Lie easily passed through Rukawa Kaede's defense, and quickly reached the basket with the ball.

Facing Sakuragi, Nan Lie was not afraid. After merging the ball, he took two steps and jumped directly. In order to avoid Sakuragi's defense, Nan Lie changed hands for a layup.

However, his hand-changing movements in the air were all caught by Yingmu Huadao.

"Humph!"

"How could a layup of this level break through Ben's genius defense!"

"More innocent than a stinky fox!"

Sakuragi shouted violently, and his body in the air actually made a slight adjustment. Sakuragi moved his hands to the left to block, and pressed firmly on the basketball sent by Nan Lie.

"Snapped!"

After a muffled sound, the basketball flew out of the three-point line. The quick-sighted Miyagi Ryota held the basketball in his arms, and then directly accelerated and launched a counterattack.

Sakuragi, who had successfully blocked Nan Lie, landed non-stop. His figure flashed out in front of Nan Lie's eyes, followed his fast-breaking teammates, and rushed towards Fengyu's half court.

Defensive counter attack.

Shonhoku High School's counterattack speed is too fast. On Fengyu High School's side, only Itakura from the outside line can return to the defense in time, but there are three Shonhoku players attacking.

Rukawa Kaede, Kiyota Nobunaga, and Miyagi Ryota formed an "arrow" to quickly attack Toyotama, three-on-one in the frontcourt, and after two simple passes, Shohoku directly crossed Itakura's defense line. Kiyota Nobunaga dunked the ball into the basket.

The score difference between Xiangbei High School and Fengyu High School has become double digits.

40: 30.

Shonhoku's bench erupted in cheers, and Mitsui Shou also stood up and clapped with a smile on his face.

"This kid Sakuragi actually blocked the opponent's trump card!"

"That's the number one scorer in Osaka! The cover is really strong!"

Mitsui Shou applauded while admiring.For Xiangbei to be able to suppress Fengyu so easily, Sakuragi Hanamichi's contribution is really too great. Not only contributed a lot of rebounds, but also put a lot of pressure on Fengyu on the defensive end.

Sakuragi Hanamichi's defense is no longer at the level of a rookie. The opponents he usually faces are not just insiders like Akagi. Sakuragi, who is a power forward, often faces Jingu who is attacking the basket in practice games. Temple Budo and others.

Compared with players at the level of Jinguji Budo, Mitsui Hisashi, and Rukawa Kaede, Nan Lie's attacking level cannot 100% surpass Sakuragi's defense.

Although Nan Lie has excellent shooting skills and his speed is not slow, his jumping and bursting are far from being comparable to those talented monsters like Jinguji Budao.

"Beep—" Fengyu was beaten into a counterattack, and the coach Jinping on the sidelines couldn't sit still. Although he didn't think of a countermeasure, he hurriedly called a timeout, intending to let the players calm down.

During the timeout, coach Anxi did not arrange any new tactics, but simply encouraged the players a few words, telling them to play well, concentrate on the game, prevent injuries and so on.

There is no change in the technical and tactical arrangements.

As the timeout ended, the players of the two teams returned to the court.

The purpose of Coach Jinping calling this timeout is simply to interrupt Xiangbei's offensive momentum. Regarding the current situation in the field, he has nothing to do.

He could only instruct his players to use offense against offense, and he didn't have any other constructive suggestions except to slow down their pace and increase their success rate.

After returning from the timeout, Fengyu's offensive speed did slow down a bit, focusing on the two shorter players, Miyagi and Kiyota.On the Xiangbei side, with the consumption of physical energy, the offensive efficiency has declined, so Miyagi Ryota also slowed down the rhythm. After returning from the timeout, the offensive and defensive rhythms of both teams slowed down.

Fengyu High School was frightened by the threat of Sakuragi at the basket, and after the timeout, it still mainly scored from the outside.

Fortunately, Nan Lie's touch seems to have improved, and the point difference between the two teams did not expand further. Instead, the point difference remained at around 10 points, fluctuating back and forth.

At the end of the first half, Xiangbei High School led the opponent by 55 points with 44:11.

During the intermission, Coach Anzai also made some personnel adjustments, replacing Kiyota Nobunaga and sending Katsumi Ichiro.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Shohoku's outside offense was strengthened with Katsumi Ichiro's playing, and Rukawa Kaede had more choices when attacking.

At the same time, Katsumi Ichiro, who is 185cm tall, also made up for one of Xiangbei's defensive loopholes, and the overall defense has been strengthened.

The situation that could have maintained a balance completely collapsed with the appearance of Katsumi Ichiro.

Five minutes into the second half, Fengyu High School collapsed completely.

Although Fengyu's players were tough, they didn't give up the game, and Nan Lie also attacked frantically, trying to restore the decline, but there was no way to rely on fighting spirit to make up for the gap in hard power.

The inside advantage created by Yingmu Huadao and Nanxiang together, as the game progresses, like a snowball, it gets bigger and bigger.

The balance of victory is also completely tilted towards Xiangbei High School.

In the middle of the second half, the difference between the two teams reached 15 points.

"The gap in internal strength is too great, Fengyu, we're doomed."

In the stands, the Sanno Industry players who had a bye on the first day of the game saw that the game was a foregone conclusion, and got up from their seats one after another, preparing to leave the arena.

On the first day of the game, the excellent seeded teams basically had byes. They Sanwang will come to watch the game today, mainly to watch the game of Xiangbei High School and see the performance of Jinguji Budo and others.

But unexpectedly, Xiangbei just dispatched a group of first and second graders to press Fengyu to death. The sufficient reserve force surprised Domoto Goro.

But Domoto was just surprised. For Fengyu, these first graders in Xiangbei may be very strong, but for Sanno Industry, these first and second grades are far from enough.

The pillars of Xiangbei are still those players in the second and third grades.

If Xiangbei sends Jinguji Budao and others to play in this game, the outcome may have been decided in the first half.

Can't see the depth of Xiangbei, Tang Ben can only lead the team back first, let the players prepare well to meet the challenge of Xiangbei High School!

But before leaving, Domoto Goro couldn't help but cast a few more glances at Sakuragi Hanamichi. Sakuragi's rebounding ability was something he ignored at the beginning. This game gave Domoto a new understanding of Sakuragi Hanamichi. Knowing, he has a vague feeling that this red-haired player from Xiangbei may be one of the biggest threats to their Shanwang against Xiangbei.

At the end of the game, Fengyu High School still didn't make any waves. As the game progressed, Sakuragi Hanamichi got more into shape and played a terrifying dominance at the basket.

Looking at the game alone, Hanamichi Sakuragi's ability is probably a level higher than Mari Kishimoto's.

This is not an illusion of the audience. Budao clearly knows that Yingmu Huadao's strength is far more than that. Even if he encounters a stronger power forward, Yinggi Huadao may not necessarily lose!
Sakuragi has fully grown up. There is no doubt that with his talent and his existing skills, Sakuragi is already the top power forward in the country!
93: 79.

With the final whistle of the game, Xiangbei High School defeated Feng Yu with an absolute advantage and won the first game.

In this game, Kaede Rukawa scored 36 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, which attracted the attention of the audience.

As for Hanamichi Sakuragi, he scored 21 points, 17 rebounds, 3 assists, and 4 blocks in a single game, starting his first shot in the national competition.

The Xiangbei players rushed into the field cheering and hugged the heroes of the game.

Standing on the seat, Jinguji Budou looked at the jubilant teammates and clapped their hands. He smiled happily and inadvertently saw Fengyu's team member who left the field lonely. He muttered to himself:

"You're lucky to lose to these boys, Fengyu."

"At least, you can still have dreams about basketball!"

"If it were me, I might bring you more than just loss."
