Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Kuratani Sora's fast break score was obviously beyond everyone's expectations, and the players from Xiangbei High School were very familiar with the players on the field at this time.

The only one I don't know very well is Kuratani Sora who just came to the basketball gym to play a practice game today.

Everyone in Xiangbei High School was not optimistic about this short and thin transfer student, even Jinguji Budo and He didn't pay much attention to this first-year student.

Sending him to play was just to give him a chance to express himself. In fact, Budo didn't have any expectations for Kuratani Sora at all.

But Kuratani Sora's first ball after coming on the court really surprised Jinguji Budo.

The speed is fast, the movement is smooth, and the timing is very good. It is hard to imagine that he can see this quality of crossover in high school basketball.

Other aspects of Jinguji Budo can't be seen too much for the time being. What he can see at present is that Kuratani Sora's dribbling skills are quite skilled, and his breakthrough movements are clean and smooth. Obviously he has received professional training. Just accepted basketball training.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to have this level of coordination.

"Well done!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi obviously didn't expect his team to be the first to score this short guy. When he saw Yasuda Yasuharu passing the ball to this kid, he was going to curse.

so far so good
If he had scolded just now, he would be embarrassed right now.

"Oh!"

Kuratani Sora responded excitedly, and quickly returned to defense.

Several members of the red team had recovered from their surprise just now. Nango Koichiro picked up the basketball and went to the baseline to prepare to serve. While shaking his head, he whispered in surprise:
"This kid's speed is really good, and he can't hold back his hands."

"If you don't pay attention, you will be passed by him."

"Although he is a short transfer student, you can't underestimate him too much!"

After reaching the bottom line, Nango quickly gave the ball to Kiyota Nobunaga. After getting the ball, Kiyota quickly dribbled the ball into the frontcourt. When he entered the frontcourt, Rukawa Kaede was also approaching the three-point line , looking at Kiyota Nobunaga immediately.

Yingmu Huadao and their team use a zone defense.

The standard position of two inside and three outside.

Yasuharu Yasuda was at the top of the arc. As Nobunaga Kiyota approached the three-point line, Yasuharu Yasuda slowly took two steps back, but returned to the position two steps inside the three-pointer. Nobunaga Kiyota's three-pointer was completely defenseless .

On both sides of Yasuharu Yasuda were Katsumi Ichiro and Kuratani Sora.Katsumi's position was slightly outside, close to Rukawa Kaede, while Kuratani Sora's position was very inside, with his arms outstretched, his knees slightly bent, and his eyes kept paying attention to Kiyota Nobunaga's position.

The defensive posture is quite good.

"Sure enough, he has indeed undergone professional basketball training."

"The defensive posture is decent, and he can always pay attention to the movements of other positions, and the vision is also very good."

Jinguji Budou did not look at Kiyota Nobunaga who was holding the ball at this time, but focused on Kuratani Sora. The series of actions that the opponent opened Kiyota before and then broke through Nango had already attracted attention. The concern of Jinguji Budo.

"Hey!"

Kiyota Nobunaga dribbled the ball on the spot, as if he was looking for the opponent's flaws, but Rukawa Kaede saw that Kiyota hadn't played the ball for a long time, and quickly put his back on Kemei's body, and his body just touched Kemei's body, Rukawa Kaede quickly Turn around without the ball and cut directly into the inside.

While Rukawa Kaede cut in, Kiyota Nobunaga also quickly hit the ball to the ground, and the basketball was quickly given to Rukawa Kaede.

Rukawa Kaede, who successfully got the basketball in the middle distance, quickly rushed to the basket, quickly joined the ball when approaching the basket, and jumped up directly after two steps. Under the block of Yingmu Huadao, Rukawa Feng made a light Pull the bar, and then a reverse basket sent the ball to the basket.

A series of exaggerated and smooth layups made Kuratani Sora in the distance stunned.

"Shh!"

There was a crisp sound as the basketball sank into the net.

"Excellent?"

Rukawa Kaede's pull-bar counter-basket is quite easy, giving people the feeling of eating and drinking water, and it seems that there is no difficulty for him.

Kuratani Sora couldn't help admiring the handsome young man passing by and quickly returning to defense.

"Is this the Xiangbei High School that won the national championship?"

"So strong!!!"

Rukawa Kaede and the others returned to defense very quickly. When Kuratani Sora was amazed, Rukawa Kaede and others had already returned to the field quickly, and their own team, the basketball had also been sent out, and it was given to Yasuda Yasuharu.

Yasuharu Yasuda, who was on the move, raised his left hand, pointed his index finger to the sky, and made a tactical gesture.

After seeing Yasuda Yasuharu's signal, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Oda Ryumasa did not choose to enter the inside line immediately after entering the frontcourt, but sank toward the bottom line on both sides.

The movements of these two people also instantly attracted the attention of Nango Koichiro and Kakuda.

While Sakuragi and Oda were going to settle, the two also pulled out from the inside and went to the middle distance to defend.

Because both Sakuragi and Oda Ryumasa have the ability to cast in the middle, completely short is to give a chance.

As the inside line opened, Yasuharu Yasuda also quickly passed the ball to Komiichiro.

As a small forward, it is of course the responsibility of Komi Ichiro to attack with the ball.

Kemei, who was holding the ball from outside the three-point line, stepped sideways, held the ball and dangled it, quickly retracted the ball after mobilizing Rukawa Kaede's center of gravity, raised the basketball and was ready to shoot, and his movements also instantly aroused Rukawa Kaede's vigilance, quickly Rukawa Kaede, who adjusted his posture, also directly covered it with his hand, not wanting to give Kemei a chance to shoot a three-pointer.

But at the moment Rukawa Kaede adjusted his defensive posture, Komi Ichiro quickly dropped the ball and rushed forward, but at the moment Rukawa Kaede was chasing, Komi Ichiro made an emergency stop, then stepped back and returned to outside the three-point line, directly making a three-pointer The ball is shot.

Feints, shot fakes, pull-ups, step-back jump shots.

The whole series of actions was completed in less than two seconds. The smooth attack and beautiful shooting posture made Kuratani Sora, who was always paying attention to the position of the basketball, stunned again.

"What a beautiful shot!"

Following Sora Kuratani's sigh, the basketball fell directly into the net under the gaze of everyone, and there was a crisp sound of "shua".

5: 2.

The yellow team, where Sakuragi Hanamichi and Kemei belonged, took the lead.

"It's amazing, and this player is also amazing!"

"The movements are not sloppy at all, and the shooting posture is completely worthy of the word 'gorgeous'!"

Kuratani Sora looked at his teammates' outstanding performance and was secretly startled.

He also had some preliminary understanding of the strength of Xiangbei High School. Before he transferred to Xiangbei High School, he had not actually watched Xiangbei High School's games.

After all, the conditions in his home were so-so, and the cost of his mother's hospitalization was not small.During the national competition, the Jiutoulong High School he was in was not able to survive the county competition, not to mention hitting the whole country.

Therefore, he didn't watch the national competition at all.

But even if he didn't watch Xiangbei's game with his own eyes, he still knows some of Xiangbei's main players.

After all, he is the overlord of the country, and the news of Jinguji Budo and other main players has already been spread everywhere by various basketball magazines.As a high school basketball player, Kuratani Sora had heard of some people and seen photos.

Sakuragi Hanamichi, the iconic red hair, also shined in the national competition, Kuratani Sora knows it!

As for Rukawa Feng, he has also heard of it, and knows that these two are the heroes of Xiangbei High School's championship.

However, Kuratani Sora has never seen Katsumi Ichiro who just got rid of Rukawa Kaede, but even such a not-so-famous player in Shonhoku has such outstanding abilities.

This made Kuratani Sora feel a lot of pressure, but also extremely excited.

Such a team. Being able to play in such a strong team is also a kind of luck, isn't it? !

On the court, offense and defense alternate.

Rukawa Kaede and his red team didn't panic because of Kemei's three-pointer. They had played countless games with each other in the first grade, and they knew each other's strength.

This kind of goal is not enough to surprise each other.

They are not such ignorant transfer students as Kuratani Sora!
Kiyota Nobunaga received a pass from his teammate in the backcourt and quickly dribbled the ball into the frontcourt. This time, Kiyota had no intention of passing the ball. Facing Yasuharu Yasuda's defense, he directly accelerated his charge and took advantage of his body to directly top Opened the opponent, then cut to the middle distance and threw the ball with a throw.

The basketball was sent directly into the Nets by Kiyota Nobunaga steadily.

The smooth breakthrough attack basically made the yellow team unable to parry.

During the alternation of the ball, Katsumi Ichiro of the yellow team once again took the ball from beyond the three-point line, but this time Rukawa Kaede chose to stick to the defense. Komi felt that it was risky to stand alone, and turned to Sakuragi Hanamichi in the bottom corner Made a pick-and-roll gesture.

Then, with Sakuragi's pick-and-roll, he directly dropped the ball and moved to get rid of Rukawa Kaede's restraint, freeing up some space for himself, and made another three-pointer shot.

The quality of Sakuragi Hanamichi's current cover is not bad, and with his help, Katsumi Ichiro can be regarded as successfully running out of the open space.This kind of three-pointer is very safe for Kemei.

Maybe it was because it was too stable. Kemei was a little loose when shooting, and the strength of the shot was too small. The basketball directly hit the edge of the basket and popped out quickly.

And at the moment when the rebound appeared, Hanamichi Sakuragi, who was still covering for Kemei from the outside, appeared at the basket for a while.

The rebounded basketball happened to be caught in his hands.

Starting with the basketball, Sakuragi dribbled the ball once, then went directly to the basket, and poured the ball into the net with a split dunk.

The bang of the slam dunk echoed in the arena.

"Well done! Sakuragi~~~"

And just when Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was hanging the basket, was intoxicated by his heroic slam dunk, a sweet sound of encouragement came to the court.

Hearing the voice, Yingmu Huadao immediately stood up with both ears, turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, seeing the familiar and beautiful figure, Yinggi's face suddenly became "peach blossoms in full bloom".

"Haruko~~~"

Looking at Akagi Haruko standing on the sidelines, Sakuragi Hanamichi waved towards Haruko with a silly smile.

And when he deserted, Rukawa Feng and the others had already launched a counterattack.

A red glow flashed in front of Sakuragi Hanamichi, and by the time Sakuragi reacted, Kiyota Nobunaga had already approached the center line with the ball.

"Ahhhhh!!"

"Wild monkey, you despicable villain! How dare you sneak attack!"

Sakuragi's attention was immediately diverted from Haruko and rushed directly to Kiyota Nobunaga.

Hearing the angry shout from behind, Kiyota Nobunaga just cursed "Idiot" in a low voice, and then transferred the ball to the inside.

Rukawa Feng, who quickly cut to the basket, looked at the basketball in the sky, jumped up, grabbed the ball with one hand, and was about to prepare for an alley-oop dunk.

And at this moment, a short figure suddenly appeared in front of Rukawa Feng, jumping high and trying to block Rukawa Feng's attack, but this guy who suddenly appeared was too short, even if he tried his best, There is no way to affect Rukawa Feng in the slightest!
"It's this kid?" Rukawa Feng glanced coldly at the young man who was trying to stop him, and found that the other party was actually the transfer student, Kuratani Sora!

Bang! ! ! !
With a loud noise, Rukawa Kaede flew directly into the air against Kuratani Sora, who was trying to stop him, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.

"Pfft!!!"

At the same time, Kuratani Sora's figure also fell from the sky quickly, and fell directly to the ground with a muffled sound.

Grasping the basket, Rukawa Feng condescendingly looked down at Kuratani Sora, who was lying on the ground and trying to sit up, feeling inexplicable.

Letting go, Rukawa Feng fell back to the ground, looked down at Kuratani Sora, and suddenly asked, "Do you think you can stop me?"

Rukawa Kaede's tone was flat, Kuratani Sora didn't feel any irony in Rukawa Kaede's words, the other party simply asked such a sentence.

At this time Kuratani Sora had already sat up, raised his head and looked up at the tall Rukawa Kaede, and suddenly smiled and said:
"If you can stop it, but you can't stop it, if you don't try, how will you know?!"

"Even if I can't stop it, at least I've tried my best. If I can't stop it, it's my lack of ability, and I admit it."

"But if I don't even have the courage to try, how can I be a good player?!"

Kuratani Sora put his hands on the ground and tried to get up, but at this moment, Rukawa Kaede, who was in front of him, suddenly bent down and reached out to Kuratani Sora.

Kuratani Sora was stunned when he saw Rukawa Kaede stretching out his hand, and looked at Rukawa Kaede blankly, a little surprised.

"Welcome to Xiangbei High School."

Hearing this, Kuratani Sora had a sore nose, a bright smile appeared on his face, he stretched out his hand and directly grabbed Rukawa Kaede's hand, and was easily pulled up by Rukawa Kaede.

"Oh!"

"Please advise!"

Kuratani Sora said loudly, although he was detained, his face was still full of excitement.

Rukawa Feng glanced at the other party coldly, but did not respond, turned around and began to quickly return to defense.And after Rukawa Feng left, Yingmu Huadao hurried back, and asked apologetically in his tone: "Hey Kuratani Sora, are you okay?"

"Are you injured?"

Kuratani Sora's heart is warmed by Sakuragi Hanamichi's concern. Although Sakuragi's mouth is not forgiving at all, the simple-minded Sakuragi has no bad intentions for Kuratani Sora.

"You dwarf, you must recognize your own strength!!"

"I was actually blocked by that stinky fox. Damn it, let that bastard show off!"

"Next time you encounter this kind of situation, don't mess around. This time, you are lucky. If you are unlucky, you will be fouled!"

"The stinky fox is such an insidious guy!!"

Kuratani Sora didn't have time to feel Sakuragi's "concern", the red-haired boy in front of him murmured cursingly.

The huge contrast between the front and the back made Kuratani Sora stunned for a moment, he didn't react at all, he could only look at Sakuragi suspiciously, and murmured softly:
"Clam???"
