The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master.

Chapter 132 It’s Lin Dong again!

The posture for the three-point shooting is already in place, with the wrist moving.

But at this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who should have been shaken to the ground, actually forcibly stabilized his body's center of gravity, staggered on his legs, his whole face turned red, and he jumped up with red eyes.

bang...

Lin Dong, who was close at hand, could hear the slight sound of the basketball being touched. After being slightly surprised, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of praise on his face.

In the last half month of the Lloyd training base, as the training was coming to an end, he rarely faced off against Sakuragi in singles.

And if we look at the level before that, with the three changes of direction and retreat just now, Sakuragi should have fallen to the ground by now, but I didn't expect... This kid's progress is really big!

Of course, it's more likely because Sakuragi Hanamichi is in a state of excitement.

But you don't care what the reason is.

This ball was really defended by him...

Sure enough, the basketball hit the front of the basket without any surprise and bounced out.

Whoa!
  At this moment, there was an uproar.

All the spectators in the stands could not help but widen their eyes.

Nani? !
  That red-haired boy actually guarded Lin Dong? Guard against the most powerful man with 43 billion? !
  Oh my God... what kind of national treasure power forward is this!

In everyone's eyes, Lin Dong failed to get past Sakuragi Hanamichi in several consecutive changes of direction. He was hit by the guy when he stepped back for a three-pointer, and even made a shot.

Defend against Lin Dong alone?

This is something that no one in the entire Japanese high school basketball world has done since the summer league started half a year ago!
  Whether it was Shinichi Maki, Sendō and others who were known as the strongest in Kanagawa, or Eiji Sawabita, Masashi Kawada, who were touted by the media as the number one high school students in Japan at the time, no one could stop Lin Dong from scoring. !

However, that No. 10 from northern Hunan actually did it!
  Where did this guy suddenly appear from? What is this guy's background? !

The entire arena was in an uproar, and they couldn't believe their eyes.

Coach Anzai's face seemed to be glowing with glory at this moment. Substitutes such as Tsunoda Satoru and Yasuda Yaharu on the sidelines cheered excitedly: "Well done Sakuragi!"

"Down with Xiangyang!"

"Hahahaha!" Hanamichi Sakuragi shouted excitedly: "Backboard!"

Without him shouting, Takenori Akagi and Toru Hanagata had already jumped up at the same time to fight for the rebound.

Unlike the previous jump ball, the jump ball does not allow too much physical contact and confrontation between the two sides, but grabbing rebounds under the basket is a physically demanding job, not to mention Hanakato Toru's rebounding skills are inferior to Akagi.

Facing Akagi's iron-walled body, Toru Hanagata was completely unable to occupy the position, and the backboard was firmly held in his hands by Takenori Akagi.

But just as he landed, a big hand smacked the basketball he was holding in both hands.

There was a crisp snap, just right.

It turned out to be Fujima. When Sakuragi called for a rebound just now, he was already rushing towards the basket. Unfortunately, his strength was a little weak. Takenori Akagi grabbed the ball very firmly. Although he hit the ball, he failed to fly it. It was the fertile farmland of Miyagi that was missed.

At this time, Miyagi Ryota was already coming down from the top of the three-point arc.

Takenori Akagi roared and threw the ball over. Miyagi Ryota took the lead. In a flash of lightning, he rushed to the basket, jumped high against the basket, and made a layup.

But as soon as the ball came out of his hands, he felt the sound of wind behind him, and an overwhelming figure blocked all the light above him from behind.

Snapped!
  Lin Dong's chasing block hit the basketball hard on the backboard, and he grabbed it with one hand.

When he landed, Sakuragi Hanamichi was already close to him. He was so excited that he talked a lot: "Hahahaha, Brother Takato, you won't be able to get through this! I'm so brave today!"

Miyagi Ryota had already made a direct move, making a black hand from the side and grabbing the ball.

call.

Lin Dong exhaled, with a smile on his lips.

This guy seems to have misunderstood something...

Although his strength has improved a lot, the kid's biggest problem remains the same, which is that he easily gets carried away.

It seems that I need to help Coach Anxi and Old Earl teach him a lesson and give him a hearty failure, that is the best teacher.

Lin Dong didn't even look at Miyagi Ryota. He just turned his wrist and avoided Miyagi's hand for the ball, allowing him to miss the ball.

With the help of the turning back, his right leg suddenly moved forward and pinned to Sakuragi Hanamichi's side. Then he controlled the ball with his left hand and twisted his body.

Swish!
  Sakuragi, who was too close, didn't even have room to react, and Lin Dong had already jumped out in one step.

"Uh..." When Sakuragi Hanamichi turned around in surprise, Lin Dong was already two steps away.

The starting figure was as fast as lightning. Although he was controlling the ball at the same time, his steps seemed to be faster than those of Sakuragi Hanamichi and Miyagi Ryota who were empty-handed!
  He rushed out from the baseline in Xiangyang's half and passed the midfield in just four or five steps.

Facing Mitsui Hisashi who came up to defend in a hurry, Lin Dong didn't even bother to slow down and shake him. He just turned his direction slightly to the left and rushed over with his speed.

Mumu Gongyan had no time to make up the defense, but Akagi under the basket raised his hands.

There was no trace of hesitation on Lin Dong's face or eyes. He had just rushed into the penalty area and was already jumping directly in front of Takenori Akagi's guard at the basket. Maybe it was Sakuragi's successive heroics that inspired his fighting spirit, or maybe it was Lin Dong's reason for returning to the court, which made him want to prove himself in front of Lin Dong.

Facing the charging Lin Dong, Takenori Akagi's eyes were completely devoid of fear at this time, as if he had forgotten all the gloom in the previous summer league, and his fighting spirit burst out!
  "Roar!" Takenori Akagi roared angrily, then jumped up high and covered Lin Dong's entire front with his two big hands.

but……

Swish!
  Lin Dong's big hand hooked from behind Takenori Akagi's left side, and he made a simple change of hands in the air to pull the lever.

The ball goes in.

2: 2.

"Huh..." Many spectators in the stands obviously breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Lin Dongjun scores a goal, it will be normal, but this Xiangbei seems to be different from any team Xiangyang has encountered before...

There was no look of disappointment on Akagi's face when he landed. With Lin Dong's ability, it was normal for him to score in front of him. There was no way to guard against such a ball.

If you want to prove yourself, there are plenty of opportunities!
  At this time, everyone in Shohoku was obviously in an extremely excited state, not only because of Sakuragi Hanamichi's random declaration at the beginning, but also because of the rebound and defense.

It seemed that everyone in Xiangbei had an idea at this moment.

Lin Dong is not invincible!

As soon as Takenori Akagi landed, he immediately picked up the basketball and retreated outside the baseline.

Lin Dong is now in the Shohoku half, while Sakuragi, Miyagi, Mitsui and others are all near the midline, taking this opportunity to make a fast break!
  Takenori Akagi spotted Miyagi Ryota's position on the center line and threw the ball out, but the next second...

A flying figure seemed to have understood his intention, and flew towards the center line in three steps, jumping high into the air two to three meters away from the fertile fields of Miyagi.

Fast, high and accurate!

Snapped!
  The basketball was intercepted by Lin Dong in mid-air!
  Over there, several people from Xiangbei who were rushing toward Xiangyang's half stopped helplessly and covered their heads.

"Oops! Boss, what are you spreading nonsense about? Stay still and don't act recklessly!"

"What are you doing, Akagi!"

"Damn gorilla! You are really holding me back!"

Several people quickly returned to defense, and Takenori Akagi also reached the penalty area immediately.

But the next second... all defense seemed to be unnecessary.

Lin Dong, who intercepted the ball, only took one step forward and stopped at the three-point line. Ignoring Miyagi Ryota who was catching up from behind, he flipped his right wrist and shot a wide open three-pointer.

Swish!
  A three-pointer was scored and Xiangyang took the lead.

2: 5!

Xiangbei's previous strength was followed by Xiangyang's sudden counterattack.

It seemed that most of the fans in the arena had not fully reacted for a while. Except for some voices that started chanting for Lin Dong again, there was still a constant buzz.

Shohoku's possession of the ball.

This time Akagi didn't dare to mess around.

Wait for Miyagi Ryota to come over and catch the ball steadily near the baseline.

Miyagi dribbled the ball past half-court, facing Fujima who came up from the top, his eyes only glanced around.

Hasegawa's sticky defense is still as efficient as ever. Mitsui's state has not yet opened up and he cannot get rid of it for a while.

Takenori Akagi is still rushing to the basket and has not landed.

Sakuragi Hanamichi was targeted by Lin Dong and ran around everywhere... He was positive enough, but there was no need to consider it at all.

It has to be Mu Mu. Unexpectedly, Brother Glasses has now become the easiest point to open in northern Hunan.

Just watching the running Sakuragi bring Lin Dong near Mumu's area, Miyagi Ryota signaled with his eyes.

Mumu immediately understood and stepped forward to help him block Fujima. At the same time, Miyagi suddenly exerted his strength and broke through to the right with the help of Mumu's screen.

The swift figure grabbed the attention of all defenders.

Ito Taku subconsciously shifted his defensive focus to the left, while Fujima immediately bypassed Mugure to block, but the next second, Miyagi, who had already rushed out, made a back pass, taking Fujima away and attracting Ito Taku's attention. , the ball has returned to the hands of Konobu Mumu, who was already ready to shoot.

Mu Mu obviously knows his position well. Regardless of his breakthrough or skills at the basket, he is not enough in front of Xiangyang and the others. His only weapon is shooting!
  At this time, it was a mid-range opportunity with a good chance. Although Ito Taku was not completely taken away by Miyagi Ryo, he had lost the best position to block the shot. Mu Mu was ready to take action without hesitation, but the ball had just been lifted. Over his head, a big hand had already cut down from the side.

Snapped!
  The basketball was directly knocked out of Mu Mu's hand, followed by a figure flying out, picking up the flying basketball and rushing towards Xiangbei's position. With a swift step like the wind, all the generals in Xiangbei were lost in an instant. The desire to pursue defense.

Swish!
  I got on an empty blue without any hindrance.

2: 7.

It's Lin Dong again!
