Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 377 Most People's Basketball!
"You bastards! Do you deserve to play basketball too?!"

After all, Yingmu Huadao's angry shouts overwhelmed the audience's discussion and spread into the stadium.

Some viewers who were close to him looked at Yingmu Huadao in astonishment at this time, wondering why this freshman in Xiangbei suddenly went crazy.And the third player in Kumamoto, who was lazily preparing to serve in the court, also heard the sound from the stands at this moment.

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw Yingmu Huadao who was full of anger.

"Are players from Shonhoku... What can Shonhoku, who has players like Jinguji Budo, understand us?"

"It's just a freshman who was lucky enough to enter Xiangbei High School. What are you pretending to be?"

Kumamoto's captain just looked up at Sakuragi, then looked away, murmured, and walked to the baseline to serve.The basketball speed given is slow, giving people an obvious feeling of weakness, and it is obvious at a glance that he is not serious about playing.

The moment the basketball was sent, the defender of Mingpeng Industry rushed forward quickly, and the strength of the serve was too weak, which gave Mingpeng Industry a chance to steal.

Kumamoto's third guard was squeezed by the opponent. When the basketball flew, he couldn't rush to get the ball. He watched the basketball being snatched by the opponent.But he didn't chase after the ball when he lost the ball. Instead, he stood there stupidly, watched the opponent dribble the ball into the basket, and sent the ball into the basket with a light layup.

Kumamoto San's performance made Hanamichi Sakuragi, who was already angry, even more angry.Although he is not familiar with the team members of the third school in Kumamoto, even before the national competition, Sakuragi Hanamichi had never heard of the name of this school.

But when Sakuragi Hanamichi saw Kumamoto No. [-]'s performance in the game, he was extremely angry.

Sakuragi Hanamichi didn't know why he was so angry, maybe it was because Kumamoto No.[-] wasted the opportunity of the national competition.

At this moment, Yingmu Huadao unconsciously thought of the other two teams from Kanagawa County.

The Hainan High School, which fought to the last second with Xiangbei High School; the Xiangyang High School, which is still full of enthusiasm even though it is ten or twenty points behind.

Those opponents who take the game seriously and refuse to admit defeat in the face of strong opponents have no chance to participate in the national competition, but a team with no fighting spirit like Kumamoto No. [-] can perform badly on the stage of the national competition.

Thinking of this, Yingmu Huadao became even more angry.

"asshole!!!"

"If you don't want to play anymore, then get out and don't insult my eyes on the court!"

Yingmu Huadao shouted violently, grabbing the back of the chair in front of him with both hands, as if he would pounce in the next second.The first graders around Yingmu Huadao heard the words, not only did not feel that there was something wrong with what Yingmu Huadao said or did, but they nodded in agreement.

Kiyota Nobunaga, who has always been at odds with Sakuragi Hanamichi and always bickering with Sakuragi, also nodded, and rarely recognized what Sakuragi Hanamichi said, and did not go to find trouble with Sakuragi.

At this time, the players from Mingpeng Industry in the stadium also looked towards the stands.Captain Hirabayashi Kijiro recognized the player when he saw Hanamichi Sakuragi.

After the battle between Xiangbei High School and Sanno Industry just now, many spectators present and players from other teams have noticed this freshman of Xiangbei High School.

Some teams call Sakuragi a "genius blue-collar" in private. With this title, Sakuragi Hanamichi's talent in rebounding is recognized.Of course, it's just a recognition of his rebounding talent.

Recognizing Sakuragi, Hirabayashi Kijiro glanced at the opponent quickly, then quickly withdrew his gaze, looked at the third player in Kumamoto who was about to serve at this time, suddenly shook his head, and said to himself with a smile:
"How can a talented first-year student like you understand what these guys are feeling right now?"

"Those who stay under the wings of Jinguji Martial Arts will never know how cruel the reality is."

"A team from a small division like Kumamoto No. [-] is lucky enough to break into the second round."

"But something like luck can't support the team to go down all the way."

"Meeting our Mingpeng Industry means that their luck has run out."

While Hirabayashi Onijiro was talking to himself, Kumamoto San once again served from the baseline.This time, Mingpeng's point guard didn't have a chance to steal.But even though he failed to complete the steal, Mingpeng's defender still didn't intend to return to the field to defend, but instead directly posted the Kumamoto defender who was holding the ball.

At the same time, other players of Meito Industry also blocked the other players of Kumamoto, and actually used the full-court pressing tactic 5 minutes after the start of the game.

It seems that Mingpeng is still not satisfied with the current lead and wants to completely defeat the opponent in one go.

The average height of the players of Meibo Industry is generally higher than that of the No. [-] player in Kumamoto. At this time, the full-court press is used, and the pressure on the No. [-] players in Kumamoto immediately increases to a higher level.

Kumamoto's No. [-] team members don't have much will to fight. In addition, their hard power is indeed poor, and their basic skills are not very good.

Under Mingpeng's defense, it was like the early domestic backline collided with Lao Mei's defense.

Not to mention successfully dribbling the ball across the half court, even dropping the ball became extremely difficult at this moment.

The two defenders entangled for a while in Kumamoto's half. The Kumamoto defender couldn't bear the pressure and wanted to pass the ball, but his teammates didn't run out of the open space after the hasty pass. The basketball was directly caught by a friend in the middle. player steals.

With two simple dribbles, Mingpeng's power forward took the ball into the basket and scored an easy layup.

The point difference reached 24 points in an instant.

But for Kumamoto, the point difference is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the situation. Under the defense of Meitomo Industry, they can't even dribble the ball across the half.

"But" Sakuragi saw Kumamoto's ugly appearance, and roared out of his chest. Just as he was about to speak, he felt someone pulling his clothes behind him.

There was a great force coming from behind, and Yingmu Huadao couldn't resist the force, so he was pulled back to the seat and sat down on the bench.

Sakuragi turned his head to look at the person pulling him suspiciously, and found that the person pulling his clothes just now was Jinguji Budo.

Seeing that it was martial arts, Sakuragi could only complain in a low voice: "What are you pulling me for? Am I wrong?"

"Those wastes in Kumamoto."

Before Sakuragi could finish speaking, Budou shook his head, put his arms around Sakuragi's shoulders, and said:
"There's no need to be angry. They are already high school players. Although they are not mature enough, they should be sensible."

"You don't need to say too much, what you just said is enough."

"If they could listen to it, they would have listened to it long ago."

"Also, it's not necessarily that the Kumamoto players didn't understand what you said."

"Sakuragi, basketball is very cruel. If you want to go to the top, there will be many, many people behind you."

"You can't help those people up one by one and force them to follow in your footsteps."

"You have talent and environment, and your perspective is different from theirs."

"The choices they make now may not necessarily be the choices they want, maybe they are just forced to do so."

"Regardless of their attitude toward basketball, the consequences are their own."

"Whether it's regret or resentment in the future, it's up to them to bear it. You can't make choices for them. What you can do is to make your own choices."

Budao comforted Yingmu Huadao, not only Yinggi Hanadao heard his words, but also Nango Koichiro and others who were sitting closer could hear him clearly.

When these first graders heard this, some understood it, and some understood half of it.But at the same time, the first graders in Xiangbei became quiet.Even Yingmu Huadao snorted coldly, put his hands on his chest, closed his eyes slightly, and didn't want to watch the game anymore.

On the court, as Mingpeng Industry started to use the full-court pressing defensive tactics, the situation completely turned to Mingpeng Industry.

After 1 minutes in the first half, Mingpeng Industry held a 36-point lead.Coach Mingpeng, who had secured the victory early, replaced the second-team substitutes, taking advantage of the opportunity of the whole game to train the young players.

So far, the opponent of Shonhoku High School's next match has also been officially established, which is Meitomo Industry from Aichi Prefecture.

At the end of this long and torturous game, Meibo Industrial won the victory with a terrifying score of 96:23.

The terrifying score difference of 73 points is the biggest difference in the history of the national competition.Meitomo Industry made history, and Kumamoto No. [-] also used this kind of defense to become a part of history.

After the game, the Kumamoto No. [-] team members did not cry bitterly, but all the players showed relaxed smiles of relief.

Perhaps, the opportunity to qualify for the national competition that many teams in Kanagawa Prefecture are vying for is just a heavy burden for the No. [-] players in Kumamoto.

The victorious Meitou Industry did not give out many enthusiastic cheers, and the victory of this game was already determined as early as the first half.It took nearly three and 10 minutes to officially announce the victory. At this moment, Mingpeng's players didn't feel much joy. They just felt that the game was too long, and they had to play more than 20 minutes of meaningless games.

After the game, before Mingpeng's players left the field, they looked up at the high school in the corner of the stand.Mingpeng's team members are also very clear that the next battle with Xiangbei High School is the game they really need to pay attention to.

After this game, most of the Xiangbei High School players' enthusiasm for watching the game was wiped out. Like them, the audience did not have much expectation for the next game.

A boring game drained everyone's enthusiasm.

After a short break, the match between Group A and Group B began. The two participating teams were Umezawa High School from Saitama Prefecture and Touda Second High School from Tokushima.

These two teams are rated B-level, and the player configuration belongs to the kind of 2+3, that is, two outstanding players, leading three qualified players to play the game.

Because the strengths of the two teams are similar, the game is quite fierce, but the level of viewing is far less than the previous game between Xiangbei High School and Sanno Industry.

There were not a few slam dunks in the whole game, which belonged to the standard "high school" basketball level, and no player had a supermodel performance.

After watching two consecutive games, everyone in Xiangbei found that the former Meitomo Industry's Hirabayashi Kijiro was too eye-catching.From Budo's point of view, Hirabayashi Onijiro's personal ability should not be inferior to that of Aiwa's Morohoshi. It's just that he doesn't know why Meitomo lost to Aiwa under his leadership. Maybe it's because his teammates didn't Love and strong? !
In the match between Umezawa and Toda No. 76, Toda finally won the game with 72:4, leading his opponent by [-] points and successfully entering the third round.

After this game, it was the last game this morning. The two sides of the game were Takamizawa High School from Hokkaido and Urayasu Business from Chiba Prefecture.

Among the two teams, Urayasu Commercial is an A-level team. Although his opponent Gao Jianze is only a player rated as a B-level player, after the whole game, Gao Jianze showed quite a backbone.

Compared with Kumamoto No. 13, a big team like this, Takamizawa is completely a hard bone.At the end of the first half, Gao Jianze was already [-] points behind, but at the last moment of the midfield, those players did not relax at all and fought very hard.

In the end, they really made a successful steal, hit the buzzer, and fixed the point difference at 10 points.

In the second half, Gao Jianze's players were even more crazy, running all over the field, looking for any possible opportunities.It's just that their efforts failed to reap the fruits they expected after all.

At 13 minutes into the second half of the game, Takamizawa's players had huge physical problems, and the quality of the school's rotation players was also quite poor. After replacing the two main players, the team directly began to collapse.

Yingmu Huadao, who held back for a long time, cheered for Gao Jianze loudly, but in the end, these team members still failed to complete the "down to overcome" that Sakuragi expected.

The sense of loss of fruitless efforts not only made Gao Jianze's team members cry, but also made Yingmu Huadao, an outsider, feel a little sad.He pounded the bench with his fist and whispered "Damn it".

Wu Dao watched this scene without sadness or joy, his expression indifferent.

He has seen countless similar things. Competitive sports have always been cruel.For players, failure will continue throughout their careers.

Many outstanding players may just make mistakes in a game, or fail to protect themselves from injuries after a game, and his playing career may be cut off.

Compared with those players who have devoted the first half of their lives to basketball, the failures suffered by these young players on the field are just drizzle.

The vast majority of ordinary people, just like Gao Jianze's players in the field, worked hard, but did not reap corresponding results.

"Losing is just so painful!"

"So, Sakuragi, we in Xiangbei must not lose!"

Budou put his arms around Sakuragi's shoulders, and whispered in Sakuragi Hanamichi's ear.
