Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Due to Jinguji Martial Arts, this autumn sports competition attracted a lot of media attention. Although it was only the second round of the competition, as long as there was a Kanagawa Prefecture competition, the venue was full of people standing around. A camera or a reporter with a camera.

Not to mention regular journalists with certificates who can enter the venue to take pictures. Even in the stands, there are many college scouts, coaches, or club scouts holding cameras, watching the Kanagawa Prefecture representative team's game.

These people came to watch Jinguji Martial Arts play, because Jinguji Martial Arts is now very famous in the circle, and everyone wants to see how strong this young man who is called the "Savior of Basketball" is. .

And when they saw the starting players of the Kanagawa Prefecture team, they all showed a little disappointment on their faces.

"Eh? Didn't Jinguji Martial Arts show up?"

"Substitute? Actually playing as a substitute?"

"Hey, hey, are you mistaken? We are not here to watch the substitutes perform!"

Whispering chatter sounded from all over the stands. Coaches and scouts who had never paid attention to high school basketball in the past were disappointed when they did not see Jinguji Martial Arts in the Kanagawa Prefecture representative team. They preconceptionally thought that Jinguji Martial Arts was just a sport. Just a substitute for the team.

However, those who had paid attention to high school basketball seemed much calmer. Several players on the field at this time had several familiar faces. Shohoku High School's Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede were both well-known.

The Immortal Way of Lingnan High School was once the focus of media attention.Seeing these players playing, some members of the media were somewhat interested, and the cameras focused on Sakuragi Hanamichi and others.

Under the lens of the camera, Morishigehiro, who encountered such a scene for the first time, would inevitably feel a little uncomfortable. Entering the stadium, Mu Shen and others could feel the uneasiness in the young player's heart.

Compared with him, Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi are both experienced players, and they behaved quite calmly in such a scene.

"Beep-"

At the referee's whistle, players from both sides began to take their positions in the center circle.

"Kuan, don't be nervous."

"Just bring out your usual training level."

"These people opposite you can't stop you."

Sendao stood relatively close to Morishigekan, and felt the tension in the other person's heart. Sendao smiled and comforted him.

"Ok!"

Standing in the center circle, Shigehiro Mori looked at his opponent in this match.Shiga Prefecture's center is a young player from the youth training. If divided by grade, he is one grade older than Sakuragi Hanamichi and the others, and belongs to the second grade of high school.

The opponent's height was visually estimated to be less than two meters. When standing in front of Mori Shigehiro, he was obviously a little shorter than Mori Shigehiro.Moreover, the center from Shiga Prefecture is not tall and has the most standard athlete figure for high school students.

He doesn't show any flesh and looks lean. Although his body lines are very good, when he stands in front of Morishigehiro, he feels that he is obviously two sizes too small.

After Shiga's center stood on the center line, he raised his head slightly and looked at the "behemoth" in front of him. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart:
"Hey, hey, hey, is this guy really a high school student?"

"How can any high school student have such a figure? There are some fouls!"

In the competition between center and center, it often only takes one face-to-face effort to roughly judge the strength of both sides.

In this era, body shape is the "standard" to judge whether a center is strong.

Hiroshi Mori and Shiga's center just stood there, giving people a clear sense of strength and weakness.

The referee took the ball and came to the midline. After all the players were in position, he signaled to the players on both sides and then blew the whistle to start the game.

The basketball was thrown into the air.

Mori Shigehiro, who was feeling a little nervous, did not grasp the timing of his jump when he jumped the ball. He did not take off until the basketball reached its highest point and began to fall.

However, his opponent precisely grasped the timing of the jump, and at the moment when the basketball started to fall, he tapped the basketball lightly and directed the ball to his backcourt.

"Ok?"

"This big man is just an appearance, but he is not very strong."

"Hahaha, I'm overthinking it. A high school student is a high school student after all. I can't be intimidated by his size!"

After successfully helping the team get the jump ball, Shiga Prefecture's center was overjoyed, grinned at Morishigehiro, and then quickly passed Morishigehiro and ran towards the Kanagawa Prefecture half.

The jump ball failed, and the players from the Kanagawa Prefecture team began to quickly return to defense.

After the Shiga Prefecture players entered the frontcourt, they formed a positional battle formation.

Three outside players were outside the three-point line, and two inside players inserted themselves into the inside from the corner positions on both sides.

The Shiga center, who had just won the jump ball, was now full of confidence. After entering the paint, he stood on the side of the paint area with his back to the basket and raised his hand to signal his teammates to pass the ball.

Seeing his own center asking for the ball, Shiga Prefecture's point guard holding the ball didn't hesitate and lobbed the ball directly toward the inside.

However, halfway through the basketball flight, the Shiga center, who was still standing with the basket on his back, suddenly stumbled forward and fell to the ground with a "plop". The basketball also fell and was caught by Morishigehiro.

"Beep!!"

At this moment, the bottom line referee's whistle sounded directly.

All the players turned back to look at the referee, and happened to see the referee pointing at Mori Shigehiro and giving Mori Shigehiro a defensive foul.

Upon hearing the referee's decision, Mori Shigehiro raised his hand in astonishment and whispered to himself:
"I didn't use any force at all and the guy fell down."

"Is it a flop?"

The referee's ears were a little sharp, and when he heard Mori Shigekwan's muttering to himself, his expression immediately became solemn, and he glared at Mori Shigekuan with the whistle in his mouth.

Seeing the referee's face, Mori Shigehiro turned his head and did not look at the referee.Although this guy is young, he is still somewhat sensible in this kind of thing.

Less than ten seconds into the game, Shigehiro Mori received a foul.

After hearing the referee's decision, Shiga's center slowly got up from the ground with the help of his teammates.

He was knocked over by Morishigehiro when he and Morishigehiro were fighting for position. It wasn't until he was pushed to the ground that he realized how ridiculous Morishigehiro's strength was.

The moment he was pushed back by the opponent, his mind was still confused.

We are all in their teens, so why can we be overturned by the opponent when we are trying to gain a position from behind?
You should know that when the back is turned, a person's lower body is more stable. Because of bending the knees and leaning backward, people can often fully exert their strength at this time.

But
The Shiga center tried his best to get stuck, and he only deserved the comment "He flopped" from Shigehiro Mori.

As a center, there is no more insulting comment than this.

Throwing ball.

The person who serves the ball in Shiga Prefecture is an outside player who is about 180cm tall.After successfully throwing the ball, he entered the court quickly and received a return pass from his teammate.

After taking possession of the basketball, he lobbed the ball inside again.This time, Shiga's center was smart and didn't fight with Morishigehiro. He quickly took two steps in the direction of the basketball and wanted to get the ball in his hands.

However, when the basketball was falling, a red-haired boy suddenly jumped out from his side, leaped high and grabbed the basketball in mid-air into his arms.

"Ohhh!!"

"Stolen!"

"It's Sakuragi Hanamichi from Shohoku. He jumps so high!"

The person who suddenly appeared and completed the steal was Shohoku High School's Sakuragi Hanamichi.Sakuragi sensed the opponent's intention and decisively let go of the person he wanted to defend.

And he took risks to steal and got good results.

Starting with the basketball, Sakuragi Hanamichi had no intention of passing the ball. He directly dribbled the ball by himself, quickly crossed the three-point line, and headed towards the opponent's half.

Shiga's reaction speed was also very fast. When several players on the back line saw Sakuragi Hanamichi advancing with the ball, two players immediately separated and double-teamed Sakuragi Hanamichi.

However, before the double-team was formed, Sakuragi passed the ball towards Mu Shen who was advancing in the middle.

After the basketball was released, Sakuragi Hanamichi's speed increased sharply, and he quickly passed the double-teamed players and rushed towards the frontcourt.

Defensive counter attack.

Kanagawa Prefecture's advance was extremely fast. Makaki, who received the ball in the frontcourt, didn't stop for a moment and went directly to the basket.At the same time, all the players from Shiga Prefecture who were returning to defense were also attracted by Mu Shinichi and stuck behind Mu Shinichi, ready to jump and block shots at any time.

However, Mu Shenyi had no intention of making a layup. After entering the basket, he grabbed the ball with his right hand and hooked it behind him. He passed the ball without anyone looking.

Behind Mu Shinichi, Sakuragi Hanamichi followed up and grabbed the ball with both hands. Two steps later, he jumped up, grabbed the ball with one hand, glided and dunked, and poured the ball into the basket.

"Ohhhhhh!!"

"This slam dunk! So awesome!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi's slam dunk action is very stretched and gives people a very exciting feeling.The cameras on the sidelines focused on Hanamichi Sakuragi one after another. The shutter in the reporter's hands kept on, and the flashes kept flickering, causing Sakuragi to squint his eyes.

After falling back to the ground, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Maki Shen one or two high-fived in celebration, then glanced at everyone in Shiga and began to return to defense.

Sakuragi Hanamichi's slam dunk was just the beginning for him.

In the subsequent games, Sakuragi Hanamichi, Maki Shinichi and Sendō formed the three offensive arrows of Kanagawa Prefecture, piercing the heart of the Shiga representative team.

Nowadays, Sakuragi Hanamichi has quite a lot of offensive methods. He has a certain breakthrough ability and a good mid-range shooting ability. Coupled with his explosive physical talent, as long as he can rush up, the opponent will have no way to resist him.

As for Mu Shenyi and Xiandao, not only do they have excellent offensive power, but more importantly, they both have terrifying court vision, and they can also send wonderful passes during fast breaks, assisting Sakuragi Hanamichi.

The three arrows formed by these three people were Kanagawa Prefecture's strongest offensive method in the first 10 minutes.

Among the players in Shiga Prefecture, three players came from the youth training system, and when on the court, there was a strong sense of separation between these three youth training players and their other two teammates.

I don't know if it's because of the familiar relationship between these three people. In short, on the offensive end, Shiga County's ball power is basically concentrated in the hands of the three of them. Two players hands.

This small-scale cooperation allowed Kanagawa Prefecture to save a lot of effort when defending.

It was obviously a sport of five people, but only three people from the other side were participating in the attack, and the tacit understanding between the three people involved in the attack was not at a level that left Sakuragi and the others helpless.

Therefore, in less than 10 minutes, Kanagawa Prefecture took a huge advantage. Sakuragi Hanamichi scored 11 points and 2 rebounds, helping Kanagawa Prefecture take a 26-point lead at 17:9. Advantage.

Seeing that the point difference between the two teams was about to reach double figures, Shiga Prefecture's coach finally couldn't hold it anymore and called a timeout.

Taking advantage of this time, coach Anxi also made some personnel adjustments.The three outstanding performers Sendō, Maki Shinichi and Sakuragi Hanamichi were replaced.

Unlike the five ups and downs that Coach Anzai said before, he just changed these three players, and then replaced them with Mike Okita, Kemi Ichiro and Hanakata Toru.

After the substitution, Coach Anxi arranged new tactics. In fact, the players did not play according to his tactics before, but it didn't matter. Coach Anxi gave the players ample space to display in this regard.As long as the fight is coordinated and effective, it doesn't matter whether it is executed according to the tactics.

After returning from the timeout, Kanagawa Prefecture launched its attack with Rukawa Kaede, Mike Okita and Kamizou Ichiro as the fulcrum.

The player who plays the point guard is Rukawa Kaede.

In the previous games, Rukawa Kaede did not participate in Sakuragi Hanamichi's coordinated attack.The main reason is that Rukawa Kaede doesn't want to pass the ball to Sakuragi Hanamichi unless necessary.

However, after changing a group of teammates, Rukawa Kaede also showed his personal characteristics.

His personal ability is very strong. Supported by his strong personal ability, Rukawa Kaede is often able to calmly give the basketball in his hand to the open player after attracting enough double-teams from his opponents.

Rukawa Kaede's style of play when playing point guard is actually somewhat similar to Mu Shinichi, except that his shooting range is further than Mu Shinichi, so it is actually more difficult for defensive players to deal with Rukawa Kaede.

Thanks to Rukawa Kaede's efforts, Shiga Prefecture's defense line was torn open by Kanagawa Prefecture.

Ichiro Kamizou frequently made three-pointers, and Mike Okita also repeatedly hit the opponent's basket. After returning from the timeout, Shiga Prefecture not only failed to narrow the point difference between the two teams, but instead grew wider and wider.

On the side of the court, the coach from Shiga Prefecture jumped up and down, stood on the side of the court, and kept yelling at the players on the court.However, his approach had no effect at all.

The difference between Shiga Prefecture players and Kanagawa Prefecture players is not just in the degree of running-in. When looking at individual players, there is still a huge gap between the two players.

As the game progressed, Mori Shigehiro's mentality gradually calmed down, and he quickly adapted to how to play when facing "weak" opponents. He also consciously restrained his strength during the confrontation.

In the second half, coach Anzai arranged another change of formation, replacing Ichiro Kamizou with Hanamichi Sakuragi, and started a three-inside system.

In the first half of the game, Shiga County was already quite miserable.

In the second half, the situation became more serious.

As Kanagawa Prefecture switched to a three-poster lineup, Shiga Prefecture basically couldn't get any rebounds.

By the end of the game, the score difference between the two teams reached a terrifying 50 points.

It is hard to imagine that such a score was the result of Kanagawa Prefecture not sending Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tanano.

And as the game between Shiga Prefecture and Kanagawa Prefecture came to an end.

Sakuragi Hanamichi suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention.

In this game, Hanamichi Sakuragi played 27 minutes and efficiently scored 31 points, 6 rebounds, 3 blocks and 3 steals.Of course, gorgeous data is not the main reason why Sakuragi Hanamichi gets attention.

Sakuragi Hanamichi's frequent dunks on the court are the main reason why he has become the focus.

In one game, the red-haired Sakuragi has left a deep impression on the minds of audiences across the country.

A "flying man" appears on the high school field. What could be more exciting than this news?
