Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 376 Are You Worthy of Playing Basketball? !
In the stadium, as soon as the match between Meitomo Industry and Kumamoto No. [-] started, Meitomo's captain Hirabayashi Kijiro showed off to all the audience.

The famous friend who attracted the jump ball only used one pass, and directly gave the ball to Kijiro Hirabayashi who quickly entered the frontcourt. The latter took the ball and quickly held the ball close to the three-point line. It's an emergency stop and three-pointer to pull out the hand.

And as the basketball hit the net, Hirabayashi Kijiro also instantly became the focus of the audience.

"What... what kind of play is that!?"

"The teammates are not in position yet, Mingpeng's No. 4 actually shot a three-pointer so quickly? This is too impatient!"

"I actually scored, such a three-pointer actually scored! This person is too confident in himself!",

"This style of play, I seem to have seen it somewhere"

Above the stands, the audience looked at Hirabayashi Kijiro in the arena, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.The unreasonable shot immediately attracted the audience's attention to Hirabayashi Kijiro.

Within ten seconds of the opening, Mingpeng Industry took the lead 3:0.

"Hey, hey, really, is this guy lucky?"

In a corner of the stand, Kiyota Nobunaga murmured in disbelief at the scene in front of him.

Hirabayashi Kijiro's attack this time is really unreasonable. Even a person like Kiyota Nobunaga who has a detached personality can't understand the opponent's behavior.

Seeing that goal by Kijiro Hirabayashi just now, Nobunaga Kiyota thought that the player who was playing on the field now was their team's trump card, Jinguji Budo.Because since Kiyota Nobunaga played, he has only seen such a random attack like just now on Jinguji Budao.

But obviously, Kiyota Nobunaga would not compare Jinguji Budo with Hirabayashi Kijiro on the field. He didn't think there would be two Jinguji Budos in high school basketball.

He attributed Hirabayashi Kijiro's successful scoring to luck.

"Is it luck, just watch the next game."

"If this guy plays this way, then I think Kumamoto No. [-] is really in big trouble."

Hearing this, Mitsui Shou closed the magazine in his hand, threw it towards Nanxiang behind him, and said.Then Mitsui Shou seemed to have thought of something, turned his head and jokingly said to Takeshi Jinguji:
"Hey, Bu Dao, what do you think, how does he compare to you? They are just as messy."

Wu Dao just smiled when he heard the words, shook his head, and humbled a little: "He is still far away."

Hisashi Mitsui was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he shook his head and laughed: "You really are not humble at all."

"But yes, it's just a goal, even if it's better than you, you won't admit it."

Mitsui Shou knew very well in his heart that this famous player in the field might not be as good as Jinguji Budo, but Mitsui Shou was a little displeased with Budo's arrogant attitude, and lashed out.

"Haha, little San, then you may be disappointed."

"To be honest, my style of play is not so easy to imitate."

Hisashi Mitsui curled his lips when he heard the words, and said disdainfully: "How can you say that others imitate you, why can't they develop their own playing style?"

"Why are you so shameless?"

Just as Bu Dao and Mitsui Shou were bickering, a sudden change bulged in the stadium.Kumamoto San made a mistake when conducting the basketball, and the basketball was intercepted by Hirabayashi Kijiro.

Kijiro Hirabayashi, who completed the steal, started to accelerate from near the three-point line in his own half. In just a few seconds, he dribbled the ball across the center line. San's basket rushed quickly.

The running speed of Kumamoto's No. [-] players is also pretty good, and they responded well to this frontcourt steal and counterattack.

The two players on the back line quickly returned to the defense, one left and one right directly sandwiching Hirabayashi Kijiro.On the other hand, Kijiro Hirabayashi, who was holding the ball, did not slow down, and at the same time, he did not intend to wait for his teammates to assist him. He quickly rushed into the opponent's basket, and jumped up with two steps after closing the ball.

At the same time as he was jumping, Kumamoto No. [-]'s two defenders also jumped up and sealed the basketball in Hirabayashi Kijiro's hands.

Just as Kumamoto's third player completed the block, Hirabayashi Kijiro's right hand that raised the ball suddenly retracted. After avoiding the block, he hooked the ball and sent it into the basket.

With a beautiful pull, Hirabayashi Guijiro easily scored over the heads of two Kumamoto defenders.

After Hirabayashi Kijiro landed, he put his thumb on his heart and looked towards the substitute players in the rest area.And just when Hirabayashi Kijiro looked at the rest area of ​​his team, the players of Meitomo Industries suddenly burst into cheers.

Like a battle-tested star, Hirabayashi Kijiro skillfully used his body movements to communicate with his teammates on the sidelines, arousing the enthusiasm of the players.

When returning to the field, he even deliberately ran close to the sideline, and when passing by his team's rest area, he gave high-fives to several enthusiastic substitute players.

The course is experienced and seasoned.

In just one round of attack, Jinguji Budo saw two characteristics from Hirabayashi Kijiro.

These things are often not available to ordinary high school players.

Most people only focus on the game when playing on the court, not to mention communicating with people off the court, and they don’t necessarily have much communication with people on the court.

But in fact, "communication" like Hirabayashi Kijiro is very important. For the players themselves, they can get the satisfaction of being praised by others, and they will have more confidence when playing and dare to make moves.

For those who watch the game off the court, the interaction with the players on the court can also mobilize their enthusiasm for watching the game.If it is a substitute player of the same team, this effect is even more obvious.

Substitute players who are not able to play are often not devoted enough to the game because of sitting on the bench, but Hirabayashi Kijiro's behavior can well avoid such a situation.Let the substitutes on the sidelines also be able to pour their enthusiasm into the game.

This has a great impact on the morale of the team.

"Hey, he's really... an excellent player."

Coach Anzai looked at Kijiro Hirabayashi in the stadium, pushed his glasses, and couldn't help admiring.

The surrounding Shonhoku players also heard Coach Anzai's comments. Hanamichi Sakuragi raised his head slightly, looking down at Kijiro Hirabayashi in the field with a cold look.Kiyota Nobunaga and the others looked a little more serious, and they watched the game more seriously.

Mitsui Shou and Bu Dao also stopped bickering and looked towards the stadium together.

"Budao, what do you think of him now?" Mitsui Shou asked solemnly, no longer meant to be joking.

"It's not bad. The skills are there, but the physical fitness is a little bit worse. If the ball just now was replaced by me, it would be a dunk."

Jinguji Budao still looked indifferent, and replied lightly.

Mitsui Shou didn't say anything more this time, but nodded slightly, directly agreeing with Bu Dao's statement.

On the court, Kumamoto San San, who had conceded two goals in a row, started to organize the attack.After several passes, the basketball was finally given to their team's scorer.

A Kumamoto player wearing the No. 6 jersey received the ball from mid-range and forced a shot against the defense when Meitomo's defender jumped up.

Kumamoto's No. 6 is also a big heart. The player of Mingpeng looked fierce when he jumped on it, but the Kumamoto player was still very calm and his shots were very steady.

The ball hit the net, adding two points to Kumamoto's No. [-] scoreboard.

5:2, although Kumamoto scored a goal, but in less than 1 minute after the opening, they were already three points behind Naitomo Industry, and at the same time, Naitomo still occupied the ball.

Between offense and defense, the defender of Mingpeng Industry quickly took the ball and advanced towards the frontcourt.Mingpeng's point guard is not tall, only about 170cm by visual inspection, but his dribbling rhythm is quite good. A player from Kumamoto tried to step forward to steal, but he used the sudden stop and acceleration of the conversion of movement and static to pass by in an instant.

After entering the frontcourt with the ball, the basketball was quickly given to Kijiro Hirabayashi. The latter took the ball from beyond the three-point line.

The basketball flew directly over the heads of everyone in Kumamoto, and flew directly towards the basket.

"Shua!" The basketball hit the net with a soft sound. At this moment, the audience in the stands couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation.

The rest area of ​​the famous friends on the sidelines was jubilant. After the goal, Kijiro Hirabayashi raised his hand above his head and pointed his index finger towards the ceiling with a confident smile on his face.

8:2, exactly 1 minute into the game, Mingpeng Industry actually easily led the opponent by six points.

The strong strength surprised all the teams watching the game. No one expected that Mingpeng Industry's strength was so strong, and that No. 4's personal strength was so terrifying.

Watching him play, it feels like watching Shonhoku High School's Jinguji Budo, as if he can't miss.

"Hey, hey, two three-pointers in a row. In the opening game, one person scored 6 points!"

"No way! Mingpeng actually has such a player?! Aihe Academy actually defeated such a team?"

"This person is not much different from you, right?"

Looking at Hirabayashi Kijiro's performance, Mitsui Shou couldn't help but wonder.As far as the current strength of Mingpeng Industry is concerned, it is definitely the top team in the country, but Aihe can beat this kind of team. Doesn't this mean that Aihe is stronger than them?
But Mitsui Shou knew the strength of Aihe Academy, and he didn't think Meitomo's strength was inferior to Aihe.

Moreover, Mitsui Shou looked at Hirabayashi Kijiro's posture of scoring consecutive goals, and it looked like the second Jinguji Budo. Mitsui Shou didn't know how Aiwa Academy defeated such a team.

"It's hard to say, if it's a one-man team, it's still easy to handle."

"His physique may not be able to maintain such an offensive efficiency under the double-team of two people."

Akagi Takenori finally joined the chat topic of Mitsui Hisashi and Budo, said his thoughts, and interjected.

And just when Akagi Takenori said this, something unexpected happened in the stadium.Kumamoto's No. [-] center forward made a serve error. When the ball came out, the guard who didn't notice Naimo didn't return to the defense immediately.

It wasn't until the ball was shot that I realized something was wrong.

But the basketball was also intercepted by Mingpeng's guard, who dribbled the ball directly into the basket and scored a layup with the ball.

10:2, the point difference came to eight points.

Kumamoto No. [-]'s coach saw his players making mistakes one after another. He quickly got up from his seat and shouted loudly towards the field, reminding the players to pay attention to the opponent's position and trying to calm the players down.

But Kumamoto is a team from a small place. Although the team's rating is B-level, the players in Kumamoto officially participated in the national competition this year.

Under the cheers of the audience, the movements of Kumamoto's players began to deform.

When attacking, there was a conduction error again, the basketball was successfully intercepted by Mingpeng Industry, and another counterattack was launched.

With the assistance of Kijiro Hirabayashi, No. 7 of Meitomo successfully scored a layup, and as he scored the ball, the difference between the two teams reached 10 points.The game has just started, and Kumamoto No. [-] has already shown a clear defeat.

Kumamoto's coach on the sidelines shouted hoarsely to the players on the field to pay attention and be careful.But the Kumamoto team's mentality was about to collapse after making consecutive mistakes.

In a new round of offense, Kumamoto's center took the ball and made a hasty shot, trying to add another goal to the team, but he missed the shot in anxiety, and the rebound was snatched by Meitomo Industry.

Turning his head, Mingpeng quickly scored another fast break, and the point difference was also pulled to 12 points.Seeing this, the spectators who watched the game were secretly shocked by Meitomo's strength, and at the same time sent their "blessings" to the Kumamoto No. [-] who was playing like shit.

All of these spectators who watched the game were violent, and most of the spectators were strong-willed. They never hesitated to "praise" weak opponents.

The No. [-] player in Kumamoto, who was already under great pressure, became even more emotional when the audience scolded him.

The offensive rotation was stumbling, and the defense became extremely loose.

As the game progressed, the point difference between the two teams began to widen rapidly.

Compared with Kumamoto, who played stinky balls, the Meito Industry led by Hirabayashi Kijiro is much better.Hirabayashi Kijiro's combination of sudden shots on the court, supplemented by a beautiful pass, completely opened up Meitomo's offense.

Basketball hit the net frequently, and in just 5 minutes, the point difference had been widened to 20 points.

Victory is set.

When the point difference between the two teams reached 40 points, the Xiangbei players hadn't come to their senses for a while. No one thought that Kumamoto No. It took only 5 minutes for the winner to emerge.

Before the game, Hanamichi Sakuragi, who was looking forward to the next game from Kumamoto, blushed with anger when he saw the players in Kumamoto who looked like walking corpses.

However, Nango Koichiro, who won the game with a famous friend, did not laugh at Hanamichi Sakuragi for a while. He also looked at Kumamoto with a displeased face. He only felt that participating in the national competition with such a team was really out of class.

"I don't have the will to fight anymore"

"It's really ugly!"

"You bastards! Do you deserve to play basketball too?!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi endured it for a long time, seeing Kumamoto No. [-] who had no fighting spirit in the arena, finally couldn't help but exploded, slamming his hands on the seat in front of him, and yelled at the three in the arena.

It was the first time for Sakuragi Hanamichi to watch such a game since playing, and the anger in his chest erupted like a volcano.

He doesn't understand, it's just lagging behind, why didn't he even try hard? !Why does such a team come to participate in the game? !
