Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 458 Open up!
After being educated by Jinguji Budo for several consecutive balls, Sakuragi Hanadao on the court became quieter and more focused.

After Budo scored the ball, Ryota Miyagi also led the team to quickly launch a counterattack, and Rukawa Kaede executed the final ball.With the pick-and-roll after Miyagi Ryota's quick pass, Rukawa Kaede quickly got the gap for an open shot with the help of Miyagi.

After a quick lateral move from beyond the three-point line, a direct three-point shot is released.

When there was a cover, Rukawa Kaede seemed a little unhurried when he shot a three-pointer. He didn't throw the basketball in his hand until he fully adjusted his posture.

The basketball crossed half the court and fell into the net smoothly.

During the alternation of offense and defense, as the basketball was transferred to Jinguji Budo who entered the frontcourt several times, all the defensive players in Xiangbei became a little nervous.

Among these people, the one who behaved the calmest was Sakuragi Hanadao who faced Jinguji Budo directly, and Rukawa Kaede who had better emotional control.

"Snapped!"

Jinguji Budao caught the ball with his back in the middle distance. With the soft sound of the basketball starting, Sakuragi Hanamichi immediately raised his center of gravity, and stuck tightly behind Jinguji Budao.

At the same time, Sakuragi Hanamichi gently held Jinguji Budou's back with his left hand, and raised his right hand slightly, as if he was ready to steal at any time, or raise his hand to block a shot.

The defensive posture is more standard and excellent than when the game just started.

"Sakuragi, your movements are finally in good shape."

Sakuragi Hanamichi's defensive ability is pretty good. It's just that Sakuragi is young and will always be attracted by "gorgeous offense". When he usually plays, he just pays attention to guarding rebounds.

On the defensive end, he never realized his potential at all.

Perhaps only under the repeated provocations of Jinguji Budao, Sakuragi Hanadao can be regarded as completely focused, trying his best to defend Jinguji Budao.

"." Faced with Jinguji Budou's praise, Sakuragi Hanamichi still remained silent. He focused all his attention on Jinguji Budou's body, watching Budou's every move.

I noticed Sakuragi's concentration behind her.

With a smile on Budou's face, he quickly turned around after blowing up the ball, and at the moment Budou turned around, Sakuragi Hanamichi moved sideways and blocked Budou's front, and the hand that was originally on Budou's back quickly dropped to intercept, pointing towards Basketball in the hands of Budo.

"Nice defensive move!"

"See through Martial Arts' offensive intentions!"

Near the three-point line, Miyagi Ryota has been paying attention to the matchup between Sakuragi Hanamichi and Jinguji Budo. Seeing Sakuragi Hanamichi's defensive action, Miyagi Ryota's eyes light up, and his heart is secretly excited.

But before he was happy for a second, Budou Jinguji noticed Sakuragi's movement, quickly grabbed the ball with both hands, and quickly turned his back, not only avoiding Sakuragi's steal, but also posing a threat to the basket.

That's right, in the eyes of Sakuragi Hanamichi and others, Jinguji Budo has already begun to pose a threat to the basket in this mid-range situation, as long as it is in a back-up state.

Everyone knows that Jinguji Budou will definitely find a way to shoot after the ball is combined.

Sure enough, Jinguji, who turned his back quickly, quickly covered his shoulders, and then turned his back very quickly against Sakuragi Hanamichi's body, and then crossed Sakuragi, and lightly jumped towards the basket, which was obviously a few meters away from the basket However, Bu Dao was tossing the ball with his left hand.

Send towards the basket.

With a throw from the low hand position, the basketball quickly flew out of Budao's hands and fell towards the basket.

"Shh!"

After a soft sound, the basketball fell into the net.

Budou glanced at the basketball that hit the net, and when he turned around to defend, he encouraged Hanamichi Sakuragi: "Compared to the beginning, there has been some progress."

"Sakuragi, keep up the good work."

As Budou said, he quickly ran past Sakuragi Hanadao.Seeing Jinguji Budou leaving, Sakuragi Hanamichi just took a deep breath, neither angry nor any other expression on his face.

Concentration, extreme concentration.

The current Sakuragi Flower Road seems to be no longer the Sakuragi Flower Road that Jinguji Budao knew.

In him, there is no frivolity, no anger, not even nervousness.

All the team members in Xiangbei felt the difference in Sakuragi Flower Road, and couldn't help but look at Sakuragi Flower Road a few more times.

But at this time, Sakuragi didn't pay attention to the gazes of his teammates, and started running towards the frontcourt on his own.

"That guy Sakuragi, seems to be a little different?"

Miyagi Ryota was keenly aware of the difference in Sakuragi Flower Road, and the current Sakuragi gave him a very solid feeling.

Even though Sakuragi Hanamichi has never successfully stopped Jinguji Budo from even one goal, looking at Sakuragi Hanamichi on the court, Miyagi Ryota can feel an inexplicable sense of security.

This was brought to Miyagi by the aura emanating from Sakuragi.

Soon, Miyagi Ryota dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, and at this time, Sakuragi actually imitated the appearance of Jinguji Budo just now, leaning against Jinguji Budo, reaching out to Miyagi Ryota for the ball.

Looking stunned, Miyagi Ryota chose to pass the ball to Sakuragi Hanamichi after continuous dribbling at the hip.After a mismatch with Makino, Miyagi Ryota quickly hit the ball and passed it to Sakuragi Hanamichi.

Starting with the basketball, Hanamichi Sakuragi blew up the ball once, and quickly dropped the ball to make a breakthrough. Seeing Sakuragi's action, Budo also frowned slightly, and chose to lower his center of gravity to intercept.

However, at the moment when Budo's body had just shortened, Sakuragi Hanamichi put the ball together with both hands, quickly turned around with the ball, and quickly opened up a distance of almost one body from Budo.

"Um?!"

The sudden turning movement made Budou couldn't help but let out a soft cry, and then under Budou's gaze, Sakuragi Hanamichi shot a jumper directly on the spot, and at the moment of shooting, Yinggi Hanamichi's upper body even turned slightly to the side slide.

"Shot?"

Budo did not jump to block him. After Sakuragi shot, he quickly turned his head and looked at the basket.

"Clang~"

Sakuragi missed the shot, and the basketball hit the side edge of the basket and flew out directly.

Seeing that Yingmu Huadao failed to make a shot, for some reason, everyone in Xiangbei breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this scene.

I don't know what kind of mentality this is.

Are you afraid that your brother will suffer, and you are afraid that your brother will drive Lu Rover?

Seeing this situation, Wu Dao sighed slightly, and quickly ran towards the front field.

Under the basket, Takenori Akagi and Hiroshi Morishi wrestled with each other, both wanting to occupy the most advantageous position, and the rebound was finally held by Hiroshi Morishi, who was in a better position.

After the basketball started, Mori Shigehiro directly threw the ball towards the frontcourt.

Jinguji Budou successfully received the ball in the frontcourt, and with an acceleration, he crossed the center line and quickly advanced towards the three-point line. There were three players chasing behind. .

Under the pursuit of the three, Jinguji Budao didn't stop for a moment, quickly rushed into the inside line, directly grabbed the ball with one hand, gliding and dunking the ball into the net.

Although the three behind them were very close together, they had no choice but to watch the basketball being dunked into the basket by Budou Jinguji.

The three of them were not frustrated because they couldn't block Budo's attack. Jinguji Budo's fast break, in today's venue, no matter whether it is on or off the field, no one can guarantee to block Budo's attack. .

Several people quickly adjusted their mentality and moved forward quickly.

From Budo's goal to Miyagi Ryota entering the frontcourt with the ball, it only took a few seconds in total.

The rhythm of Xiangbei is very fast.

After entering the frontcourt, Miyagi Ryota thought about giving the ball to Rukawa Kaede and letting Rukawa Kaede attack with the ball. However, at this moment, Miyagi Ryota saw from the corner of his eye that Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was in the middle distance, was back-to-back again. Follow the martial arts of Jinguji Temple and wait for the ball.

Miyagi Ryota looked at Rukawa Kaede, and from the corner of his eye he looked at Sakuragi. By coincidence, Miyagi Ryota hooked his wrist, but the basketball in his hand was passed towards the position of Sakuragi Hanamichi.

"?!"

Mu Shenyi originally predicted that Miyagi Ryota was going to pass the ball to Rukawa Kaede, and he had already rushed towards Rukawa Kaede's direction, but unexpectedly, Miyagi Ryota chose to pass the ball to Sakuragi, and the basketball went straight from the Mu Shenyi's side flew out, and flew towards Yingmuhuadao.

"Give the ball to Sakuragi Hanadao again?"

"What is Miyagi Ryota thinking? He doesn't think Sakuragi Hanamichi can score in front of Jinguji Budo?"

Mu Shen was startled in his heart, and raised his eyes to look at Yingmu Huadao.

At this time, Sakuragi Hanadao caught the ball with both hands on his back basket, turned his head slightly, and glanced at the position of Jinguji Budou behind him. After the ball was blown up once, Sakuragi Hanadao's back stuck to Budou's body. The movement of Yingmu Huadao was transmitted to Budao.

"Strike hard?"

"Are you overconfident in your own strength?"

Wu Dao thought to himself, his center of gravity dropped slightly, and he used his strength to forcibly block Yingmu Huadao's aggression.Jinguji Budo is more than two meters tall. Although his body looks quite well-proportioned, his strength is not small at all.

Even compared to Uozumi's traditional centers, the current Jinguji Martial Arts will not fall behind at all. On the contrary, they have explosive support. Jinguji Martial Arts' attacking threat to the basket will only be greater than that of Uozumi.

If Sakuragi planned to use strength to fight martial arts, it can only be said that he chose the wrong opponent.

However, the center of gravity on Budo's side had just dropped, when Hanamichi Sakuragi in front of him suddenly turned around with the ball in his hands, and when he raised his hands, he wanted to shoot.

Seeing this scene, Budao's hand quickly sealed Yingmu Huadao's head.

This level of attack is simply not enough to break through the defense of martial arts.

However, at the moment when Jinguji Budou raised his hand to block the cover, Sakuragi Hanamichi used one foot as an axis, quickly turned around and carried the basket on his back, with the axis foot pointing to the ground, Sakuragi jumped in the opposite direction of the basket, and his body was in mid-air. Shi also quickly moved towards the basket, raised the ball above his head with both hands, and assumed a shooting posture.

Very beautiful footsteps, if Budou could clearly see the red hair of Sakuragi Hanamichi, he would really doubt who the person he was playing in front of him was!

In mid-air, Yingmu Huadao maintained the posture of his upper body quite well. When it reached the highest point, Yinggi Huadao threw the basketball directly in his hand.

The basketball flew over Budao's head and fell toward the basket.

"Shh!"

With a crisp netting sound, something unexpected happened to everyone. Hanamichi Sakuragi's turnaround jump shot successfully sent the ball into the basket.

In front of Jinguji Budou, Yingmu Huadao actually scored!

"How is this possible?!"

The most surprising thing was not Jinguji Budou who was defending Sakuragi, but Kiyota Nobunaga who was on the same team as Sakuragi.Seeing Sakuragi's goal, Kiyota Nobunaga opened his mouth in astonishment, with an expression of disbelief.

Nango Koichiro, who was on the side of the court, had a face full of astonishment at this moment, and couldn't believe his eyes at all.

It's fine if such a difficult shot can be scored, but Yingmu Huadao actually scored under the defense of Jinguji Budou.

As the trump card of Xiangbei High School, Budou Jinguji is a player who combines offense and defense. Being able to score in front of Budou Jinguji means that Hanamichi Sakuragi can score under the defense of any high school student.

The defensive quality of Jinguji Budo is so exaggerated!

"Go in, Sakuragi scored a goal!"

After a brief astonishment, Miyagi Ryota immediately raised his arms and cheered.

Seeing Sakuragi scoring the ball at the basket, Akagi couldn't help but walked to Budao's side, and asked Budao, "Budao, you."

"Could it be to release water on Sakuragi?"

Although Sakuragi's footwork performance just now was very good, Akagi did not think that such an attack could break through the defense of martial arts. Believing in Sakuragi's strength, Akagi still believed that martial arts was letting loose.

"Sakuragi's actions exceeded my expectations."

"Strictly speaking, I didn't release water."

"I'm just stronger than Sakuragi and adopted a corresponding defense."

"He can score goals, which means that he has surpassed the Sakuragi Flower Road in my mind!"

"It has become stronger, this kid Sakuragi has indeed become stronger!"

Wu Dao sighed softly, clapped his hands, and praised with a smile:
"Sakuragi, you have really become stronger!"

but
Facing Jinguji Budou's praise, Sakuragi Hanamichi looked numb, glanced at the basketball that fell from the net, and lowered his head to look at his own palms. There is a hint of excitement.

Without responding to Budo, Sakuragi turned around and quickly returned to defense.

Seeing Sakuragi's actions, Budo and Akagi Takenori couldn't help but look at each other. Sakuragi's behavior was beyond their expectations.

Shouldn't the original Sakuragi, after scoring on Budo's head, laugh wildly with his hands on his hips?Who is this calm expression for? !
"What's wrong with this guy?"

Akagi scratched his hair and asked doubtfully.

Wu Dao also shook his head in confusion, and couldn't help complaining:

"Maybe this kid Sakuragi suddenly grew a brain."

"Transformed?"

"It's too sudden, I'm a little unprepared."

Bu Dao didn't know that what happened to Sakuragi at this time was called enlightenment.

Some people, when doing certain things, have been doing it for several years, or even more than ten years, but they can't do it well, but one day, this person's mind is clear for a while, and he suddenly figured out the joints. , can be done easily.

This is called enlightenment!
Among the group of high school students, there are not many such people. Maybe there was such a person by your side. When you were in junior high school, you read like shit. When you went to high school, you suddenly understood the way of learning from a certain day. , the results jumped directly.

It's just that those people are studying, while Sakuragi is focusing on basketball.

"I suddenly felt that no matter what kind of action it was, I could do it!"

Yingmu Huadao, who was returning to defense, lowered his head and looked at his hands. His eyes suddenly showed a strong confidence. He felt that he was omnipotent now. This feeling was very refreshing!
