Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 426 Talent Peak and Talent Depression!
Kuratani Sora kept saying that he wanted to join Shohoku High School, which made Sakuragi Hanamichi feel that he and the team seemed to be insulted.

If the person who said these words was just an ordinary person, Yingmu Huadao would not necessarily have such a big reaction, but now the person who said these words was Sora Kuratani, the boy in front of him who was almost as tall as his waist , actually kept saying that he wanted to join the basketball club of Xiangbei High School.

And looking at the other party's expression, Kuratani Sora is quite confident about this matter.

Although Xiangbei is a public school, the basketball club of Xiangbei High School is also open to everyone, but a dwarf must have the self-consciousness of a dwarf, right?

Even now that the average height is relatively short, Kuratani Sora's height condition is very bad, and he doesn't have flesh on his body, he looks like a primary school student.

Even if you want to join club activities, isn't it good to choose one that suits you?Why play basketball, but also trying to Xiangbei High School, which just won the championship this year?

Yingmu Huadao really didn't know what the guy in front of him was thinking.

"Not everyone can join?"

"I guessed it a long time ago. Xiangbei, who has won the national championship, will have requirements for the selection of players. This is a matter of course."

"But I have confidence in myself, I think I can become a player in Xiangbei!"

"Besides, I'm going to start the game!"

Kuratani Sora put one hand on his chest, and said confidently, being ridiculed by Yingmu Huadao like this, Kuratani Sora still didn't show even the slightest bit of disappointment on his face.

And it is precisely because of Kuratani Sora's attitude that makes Yingmu Huadao even more angry.

Where does the confidence come from?Where did this kid get his confidence?
People like Wild Monkey and Dyeing Monkey are all in the starting lineup after the national competition, after the seniors of the third grade have retired, and sometimes it may not even be their turn.

This guy in front of him, who is not even as good as a wild monkey or a dyed monkey, actually keeps saying that he wants to start? !
Yingmu Huadao felt that this guy didn't come to join the basketball team, but to humiliate him.

If such a person can start the team, then what is the purpose of his more than a year of training for Sakuragi Hanamichi?In order to compete with this skinny dwarf in front of him?
Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes were fixed on Kuratani Sora, his eyes seemed to be capable of killing people.

Pushing open the door, Sakuragi Hanamichi walked into the arena in silence, came to the side of the court, picked out a basketball from the storage basket on the side of the court, turned around and threw it at Kuratani Sora, put down the bag, Sakuragi took it from the bag Taking out the sneakers, while changing the shoes, he said to Kuratani Sora:
"Katani Sora, right?"

"Come and challenge me."

"I'm here to break your unrealistic fantasy. In our Xiangbei High School, people like you have no living environment!"

The basketball started, Kuratani Sora subconsciously caught the basketball with both hands, listening to Sakuragi Hanamichi's words, not only did Kuratani Sora show no fear, but a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Okay!"

"I'm looking forward to playing against you!"

Kuratani Sora said to Sakuragi with a smile, even though Sakuragi Huadao looked down on him like this, Kuratani Sora still didn't get angry.

In fact, it's not that Sora Kuratani has such a good temper, it's just that he has encountered too many similar things. When he was in junior high school, although he barely became a member of the basketball team, but three years, a whole He hasn't had any chance to play for three years.

Even the rookies who have been in the club for a few months, the guys who can't even handle the ball can play, but he can't.

Kuratani Sora, who has been playing basketball in such an environment, no longer has any psychological fluctuations because of Sakuragi's words, he is already numb.

Kuratani Sora's smile made Hanamichi Sakuragi very uncomfortable. After sitting in the rest area on the sidelines, after quickly changing his clothes and shoes, Hanamichi Sakuragi walked into the court quickly.

Kuratani Sora came to the arena today and he was also prepared, sportswear, basketball shoes, everything.

Not long after Sakuragi walked into the court, Kuratani Sora dribbled the ball and walked towards the court.Kuratani dribbled the ball in a relaxed posture, and it could be seen that he had indeed played basketball.

Sakuragi glanced at Kuratani Sora, pointed to the outside of the three-point line, and said to Kuratani Sora:
"One-on-one, call the foul yourself."

"11 points, whoever scores 11 points first, even if whoever wins, three-pointers count as three points."

"Is there anything you don't understand? Tell me now."

"If there is no problem, let's start."

Sakuragi Hanamichi walked in front of Kuratani Sora, looking down at Kuratani Sora, the sun shines through the window and shines into the room, and the reflection of Sakuragi Hanamichi directly shrouded Kuratani Sora's body.

Too short, Kuratani Sora is really too short.

"no problem."

Kuratani Sora raised his head, looked at Hanamichi Sakuragi's face, responded with a smile, and then took the ball to the outside of the three-point line, standing still about two meters away from the three-point line.Kuratani Sora was not polite to Yingmu Huadao, and accepted the right to attack first.

"There is no need to test the ball, let's start directly!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi saw Kuratani Sora walking outside the three-point line, and saw that the opponent was going to pass the ball to check the ball, he shook his head and said, then stood inside the three-point line, signaling Kuratani Sora to start attacking.

"Then I won't be polite, Sakuragi-san!"

Kuratani Sora dribbled the ball with his right hand. Because of his short height, he dribbled the ball very fast on the spot. Seeing this, Sakuragi sank slightly.

"Let the horses come!"

As soon as Sakuragi Hanadou finished speaking, Kuratani Konori, who was dribbling on the spot, dribbled the ball a little faster, and rushed to Sakuragi with the ball. The moment he came to Sakuragi, Kuratani Sora stood up, Quickly stopped and adjusted his back movement, and then the basketball quickly switched to his left hand. While a floating dribble, he quickly changed direction and rushed from his right side.

In a beautiful crossover, Sora Kuratani crossed Hanamichi Sakuragi in an instant, and then quickly rushed towards the basket.

Kuratani Sora's speed is very fast, and the movement of changing direction is also very skilled. Facing a tall man like Sakuragi Hanamichi, Kuratani Sora obviously knows what his advantages are. In the bullfight with Sakuragi, he also used With his deft movements.

"Soon!" Seeing Kuratani Sora flashing past his eyes, Sakuragi raised his eyebrows somewhat unexpectedly, and at the same time adjusted his body quickly, turned around and chased after him.

Kuratani Sora, who passed Sakuragi Flower Road with the ball, quickly came to the basket, looked at the empty basket in front of him, and flew to the basket:
"Go ahead!"

With a bright smile on Kuratani Sora's face, the basketball dropped from his hand and hit the backboard from bottom to top. However, just as the basketball reached the lower edge of the backboard, a tall figure suddenly jumped from behind Kuratani Sora He stepped out and pressed the basketball directly on the backboard with both hands.

"Catch up?!" Kuratani Sora narrowed his pupils slightly, and when he saw Sakuragi Hanadao chasing up from behind, he also looked startled and murmured in surprise.

He is very confident in his speed, and he thinks that he is unlikely to be caught up. However, the reality is that Yingmu Huadao, who has been thrown away by him, has returned to the basket.

"hateful."

"It's really a pity!"

"Obviously he is so tall, but his speed is also so fast?"

The surprise on Kuratani Sora's face was fleeting, and turned into annoyance and pity.Kuratani Sora really felt that he had a great chance to score the goal just now.

Although it was a pity, Kuratani Sora still had a smile on his face, and Sakuragi didn't actually see much frustration on his face.

"Only to this extent?"

"People like you. No, people who are better than you, we can catch a lot of people in Xiangbei!"

Sakuragi fell back to the ground, holding the ball in one hand, lowered his head slightly, and said to Kuratani Sora.

But Kuratani Sora didn't care about what Sakuragi Hanamichi said at this time, instead he ran to the three-point line excitedly, waved to Sakuragi with a smile, and said:
"It's your turn, it's your turn."

"You attack, I defend."

Kuratani Sora patted his thighs with both hands, bent his knees firmly, and shouted towards Sakuragi Hanadao. Seeing the other party's enthusiastic appearance, Sakuragi's face darkened a little.

Taking the ball beyond the three-point line without saying a word, Sakuragi Hanamichi leaned over slightly, and then gave the ball to Kuratani Sora.

"Check the ball!" Kuratani Sora returned the ball to Sakuragi after a soft murmur.

The moment the basketball started, Hanamichi Sakuragi dropped the ball and accelerated, and started a digging step. At the same time, the left-handed ball protector quickly blocked Kuratani Sora's hand trying to steal it.

At the moment of accelerating the breakthrough, Yingmu Huadao's body also directly hit Kuratani Sora's side. Under such a physical confrontation, Kuratani Sora couldn't stand firm at all, and was directly thrown to the ground by Sakuragi Hanadao.

"Boom!" There was a muffled sound, Kuratani Sora sat down on the floor directly, Sakuragi heard the sound, and looked back at Kuratani Sora, the speed also slowed down a lot, when Sakuragi entered the basket Huadao casually sent the ball into the basket, and after landing, he quickly walked to Kuratani Sora's side, and asked with some concern:
"Hey, are you okay?"

"If I make a foul, you can just say it."

When Sakuragi Hanamichi just broke through, he didn't feel any resistance at all, so he didn't know why Kuratani Sora fell down. Sakuragi thought it was some subconscious action when he broke through, which made him Kuratani Sora lost his balance.

Sakuragi didn't think of it at all, it was just a reasonable physical confrontation and accelerated breakthrough, Kuratani Sora couldn't stop it at all.
Because a breakthrough like his is really not at the top level among Xiangbei high schools.

"what?!"

"No, you didn't foul."

"It was me who didn't stand firm."

Hearing Sakuragi Hanamichi's inquiry, Kuratani Sora sat on the floor, shaking his head belatedly and said.Just now when Yingmu Huadao broke through, he planned to make a steal, but Sakuragi's habit of protecting the ball is very good. Not only did his steal fail, but it increased the collision area between him and Sakuragi.

The huge force directly brought Kuratani Sora to the ground. In fact, even Kuratani Sora himself didn't know how he fell. He is still a little confused now.

This is the first time he has encountered a player of Yingmu Huadao's level.

It was obviously just a simple accelerated breakthrough, but it gave him a feeling that he couldn't resist at all.

"1:0, you scored a goal, keep attacking!"

Kuratani Sora and Sakuragi Flower Road do not use a change of attack in the bullfighting. In Asia, such bullfighting rules are more prevalent.In Europe and the United States, there are many one-on-one bullfights that need to be replaced, and each person can attack to the greatest extent to show their own strength.

Don't let a group of players who explode each other play a one-sided feeling.

"En!" Sakuragi nodded, picked up the basketball, and returned to the three-point line.

After checking the ball, Hanamichi Sakuragi held the ball in both hands, ready to attack.

Just when Sakuragi was preparing for the second round of offense, there were a few more figures at the entrance of the basketball hall.Kiyota Nobunaga and Nango Koichiro walked into the arena together. Seeing that Hanamichi Sakuragi seemed to be fighting a bull with someone else, and his attribute of "fun person" exploded, he immediately walked to the sidelines.

Without disturbing Sakuragi and the others, they stood by the side and whispered:

"Hey, Dyeing Monkey, who is that kid who is facing the red-haired monkey?"

"Have you seen it?"

Kiyota Nobunaga's eyes fell on Kuratani Sora, and asked in a low voice towards Nango Koichiro beside him.

"I don't know him. You can tell he's not a high school student just by looking at him, right?"

"Maybe some elementary school student broke in, was spotted by the red-haired monkey, and then bullied him."

Nango Koichiro shook his head, speculating maliciously.

And Kiyota Nobunaga, who heard this, nodded his head seriously, actually agreeing with Nanxiang's statement.

On the court at this time, Sakuragi didn't notice the arrival of Kiyota Nobunaga and Nango Koichiro. During the game, Sakuragi's concentration was still relatively high.

A simple tentative step failed to mobilize Kuratani Sora's defense.

Sakuragi stopped acting at all, dropped the ball directly, and accelerated his digging step again. His body instantly leaned against Kuratani Sora. After a simple physical confrontation, Sakuragi Hanamichi directly passed Kuratani Sora and headed towards the basket. .

Approaching the basket, Hanamichi Sakuragi took off with the ball. Just when Hanamichi Sakuragi was about to make a layup, a thin figure suddenly jumped out from behind Hanamichi Sakuragi, and directly reached out and patted the basketball in Hanamichi Sakuragi's hand .

The sudden appearance of the figure also startled Sakuragi Hanamichi, but Sakuragi's ability to stay in the air is very terrifying. After reacting, Sakuragi quickly collected the ball, pulled the bar, avoided the block and then made a layup.

The basketball flew out of Sakuragi's hands, hit the backboard lightly, and then rebounded into the basket.

Cha Gu Kong, who was chasing him, pounced in the air and quickly fell back to the ground, his feet landing with a soft sound.

"Ohhh! What's that?!"

"Primary school students are so good at bouncing?"

Kiyota Nobunaga saw the scene that just happened with his own eyes. Kuratani Sora, who was chasing from behind Sakuragi Hanamichi, almost blocked Sakuragi. Although Sakuragi Hanamichi's layup was very relaxed, he raised the ball for a layup At that time, the arm height was already very close to the backboard, and the height was nearly three meters.

But with such a high layup, Kuratani Sora, who is only 153cm tall, almost covered Sakuragi.

This terrifying bounce surprised both Kiyota Nobunaga and Nango Koichiro.

What kind of feeling is this?It's like seeing a short primary school student jump up and grab the basket with one hand.
The visual impact is quite strong.

"This guy." Yingmu Huadao was almost blocked, and after landing, he turned his head to look at Kuratani Sora, and whispered in surprise, also surprised by the opponent's bounce.

Kuratani Sora's talent points seem to be all about jumping and speed.

And the ability in these two aspects is very strong!
