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

Chapter 151 The Biggest Trump Card

12:13, Xiangbei takes the lead!

It has been four or five minutes since the game started, and this is the first time Shohoku has taken the lead.

Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes shone, and he rushed up to give Akagi a high-five. He laughed excitedly, and then remembered that the ball was passed by Rukawa Kaede, and Rukawa Kaede was also beside him at this time...

Frankly speaking, since defeating Rukawa Kaede at Lloyd, Sakuragi Hanamichi's view and attitude towards him have changed quite a bit.

One is because you have already defeated Rukawa Kaede. When you reach the top of a mountain, you will no longer care about the frustration you felt at the bottom of the mountain. The second is that I think he is a bit... pitiful!

After all, it was he who passed the ball to Akagi. Sakuragi thought about it and smiled and raised his palms to Rukawa Feng. Unexpectedly, Rukawa Feng glanced at him, turned around and ran away.

Sakuragi Hanamichi was startled, and his raised palm suddenly felt awkward, and then he became stunned and furious.

Rukawa Kaede's mood, which had calmed down before, was on fire again at this moment.

I, I actually felt pity for him, I even gave him a high-five... Rukawa Fox! Sure enough, it’s still so annoying!

But before he could get angry, Akagi had already slapped him on the head: "Return to defense!"

Goro Domoto, who was on the sidelines, made a wait-and-see gesture to Fukatsu Kazunari.

Sanno held the ball and went down quickly. Shohoku's defense seemed to have no change, but when the ball was pushed into the hands of interior lineman Morishigehiro, the change came immediately.

It was still a tough back hit, and Akagi was pushed back again. But when Shigehiro Mori turned around to attack the frame, before Takenori Akagi could make a move, the Shohoku defensive circle shrunk slightly, and Hisashi Mitsui, who was nearest, had already pounced on him with his hands hanging. On Morishigehiro's arm.

Shhh!

"Thug No. 14 of Xiangbei committed a foul and received 2 free throws!"

Domoto Goro felt a thump in his heart.

Are you determined to take Mori Shigehiro's free throw?

If Akagi is the only one who commits a foul, then Shohoku won't be able to come a few times, but if someone else occasionally sees the opportunity to help Akagi commit a foul, then the flexibility will be great...

Goro Domoto quickly calculated in his mind.

Frankly speaking, Shohoku's bench is not deep enough. If they really have to use a few main players' fouls in exchange for Mori Shigehiro's points, it seems that Shohoku can have the upper hand for a while, but they will soon fall into a foul crisis. Saying it doesn't necessarily mean it's not a good deal.

But the problem is that Xiangbei is playing smoothly on the offensive end. Such fouls only need to be committed four or five times, and then Xiangbei may be stretched to a double-digit point difference.

And once Shohoku leads by double digits and scores, first of all, Shohoku may gain confidence and use it to play more smoothly on the offensive end, and the pressure will come to the Sanno players. After all, before the game, Shohoku was regarded as a fish belly. Now he is being beaten down by his belly, and it would be impossible for anyone else to maintain a balanced mentality.

Second, it means that the outcome will be left to at least the second half. In the end, let alone a big score victory over Xiangbei, the scene may be ugly, and the outcome may even be in doubt!

This is something Goro Domoto absolutely cannot accept.

While Goro Domoto was thinking about it, Shigehiro Mori on the court had already missed two free throws, and the ball was transferred.

Rukawa Kaede is still holding the ball.

Opposite Jun Tsuchiya didn't dare to be careless anymore.

This guy can pass the ball suddenly, which is really difficult to do, and the speed at that moment also sounded a warning to Jun Tsuchiya. This first-year freshman has a speed that is definitely no less than his own, and even...maybe even better. A bargain!

When Xiangyang beat Shohoku by 100 points, this guy didn't return to the team...

When this thought came to his mind, he naturally opened a little defensive distance.

Facing this guy's sharp breakthrough, you must put at least one step away, otherwise you will be passed by him if you get close to him!

But after taking only half a step, Rukawa Feng's lips curled up slightly and he stood up without hesitation.

Jun Tsuchiya realized something was wrong and wanted to block it, but his two big hands did seal Rukawa Kaede's face, blocking his sight.

But there was still a step between the two of them, and Rukawa Kaede's jump was so sudden and determined that Feng's eyes were closed, but there was no physical contact.

The basketball was thrown steadily from Rukawa Kaede's hand.

Swish!

Tsuchiya Jun's expression changed slightly.

The ball goes in, 3 points!

12: 16!

"Wow! Xiangbei is so strong!"

"Not only that No. 10, but this No. 11 feels awesome too!"

"Isn't it true? In a single challenge with Tsuchiya Chun, he didn't lose at all..."

"Why don't you fall behind? This is a win, okay! If you want to rush, you can pass, if you want to pass, if you want to shoot, you can shoot!"

hum hum...

"Fukatsu!" Goro Domoto shouted and raised a finger at him.

Tactics No. 1!

Shohoku's offensive is now fierce, and Rukawa Kaede's confidence has been demonstrated. Domoto Goro believes that Tsuchiya Jun has a way to deal with it, but the opponent's momentum has already begun, and it will not be possible to suppress it by relying on personal ability for a while, so Tsuchiya Jun must be given time.

Therefore, we cannot beat Mori Shigehiro again and again. Once the score is quickly opened, the mentality of both sides will change, and then there will be more to consider.

Fukatsu Kazunari understood.

Holding the ball across the midline and hitting the top of the three-point arc, he pretends to pass the ball, but then he takes a three-point shot.

Play outside again.

The height difference of 12 centimeters allowed Miyagi Ryota to have no interference or deterrent to his shooting. Moreover, as long as Mori Shigehiro was under the basket, the rebounds would be guaranteed and he would dare to shoot.

Sakuragi Hanamichi cut in forcibly to grab the rebound, but was stuck tightly by Minoru Matsumoto. The next second...

Swish!

The goal was scored at 15:16.

But the Xiangbei side immediately turned around and hit another one, still coming from Rukawa Kaede's firepower.

After all, he had just made a shot, and Jun Tsuchiya's defense did not dare to take a step away. But just as he got a little closer, Rukawa Kaede broke through again, and then started to take off from the free throw line with a high throw.

The ball goes in.   15:18.

Breakthroughs, ball distribution, and shooting, when the three methods are integrated, Jun Tsuchiya's confidence is far from being as full as Goro Domoto's trust in him on the sidelines.

Tsuchiya Jun was actually shocked and wanted to scold her.

The breakthrough is too sharp, the passing is too weird, the shooting is too accurate and decisive... Is this guy really a first-year guy? I feel that if he was facing off against Eiji Sawabita in the summer, or himself in the summer, he would definitely be turned into a scumbag by this first-year newcomer! And even for myself now, it is quite difficult to cope with it, and I feel almost unable to prevent it!

With such strength, he had been unknown before this game? He was treated like a newcomer and a lone wolf. This ghost just appeared out of nowhere!

Immediately afterwards, before Sanwang made the baseline kick, the referee's whistle had already sounded.

"Xiangbei substitution!"

Coach Anxi stood on the sidelines and gave instructions.

He actually replaced Ryota Miyagi directly and replaced him with Satoru Tsunoda.

Domoto Goro frowned.

He really didn't know much about Shohoku's substitutes. According to the limited video data available, there was this guy named Tsunoda Satoru who had played.

His strength is quite average, his offensive ability is almost non-existent, but he is capable of defense.

With a body of 180 centimeters and 81 kilograms, he is relatively strong among the Xiangbei team. He has a good wingspan and can move his feet well, but these are only compared to ordinary players.

Is this the plan to make up for Miyagi Ryota's height gap and let this guy block Fukatsu Kazunari's perimeter?

Frankly speaking, Goro Domoto doesn't understand it very well, and it feels meaningless. Although Miyagi Ryota is a defensive loophole, his movement on the offensive end is very active, which also creates a lot of space for Rukawa Kaede's offense.

But Tsunoda Satoru is definitely not helpful to Shohoku on the offensive end, and on the defensive end, isn't he a loophole?

Facing Kazunari Fukatsu, the top point guard in the country, what can this substitute do to defend him? Isn't this a matter of just one step?

What's more, Shohoku is playing smoothly now... If the opponent wasn't coach Anzai, Goro Domoto would have thought he was a layman.

But the positional battle defense that followed Shohoku allowed him to see the brilliance of coach Anzai.

Fukatsu Kazunari reached a high position with the ball, and Tsunoda Satoru immediately followed him and guarded him relatively close, only half a step away from each other. This was to guard against Fukatsu's three-pointer.

But Fukatsu Kazunari was only slightly possessed, and he had already crossed over with one step.

A smile appeared on Goro Domoto's face, this was not a free gift...

And Tsunoda Satoru seemed to have no intention of preventing him from breaking through. When Fukatsu broke through, he turned around and chased after him. In front, Takenori Akagi immediately let go of Morishigehiro under the basket and came up to defend.

Even though Takenori Akagi and Shigehiro Mori were both clumsy when facing each other, their deterrence at the basket still had a considerable suppressive effect in front of others.

Fukatsu Kazunari jumped up, attracting Akagi to take off and immediately gave the ball to Morishigehiro behind Akagi.

Shohoku's Kaede Rukawa can pass the ball, but Fukatsu can't?

But next second...

Shhh!

The referee's whistle sounded.

I saw that Satoru Tsunoda, who had just been replaced, was directly linked to Morishigehiro. He did not chase Fukatsu Kazunari at all. Instead, he had known that Akagi would change defense and knew that this was a misplacement. He rushed towards Morishigehiro early on. past.

At this time, two big hands and two thighs were entangled, like an octopus...

"No. 9 of Xiangbei committed a physical foul and received 2 free throws!"

The Sanno players on the field were stunned, and the Kanagawa fans in the stands laughed.

"Hahahaha! The three non-conformities are coming again!"

"Well done to that squinting guy!"

"Wouldn't this earn me another 2 points?"

The arena suddenly became noisy.

Goro Domoto on the sidelines gasped and couldn't help but look at Coach Anzai on the other side.

I saw the old man put the thermos cup that he usually kept on the stool, but he was standing on the sidelines. The light flashed on the thick lenses, as if reflecting two big words: Wisdom!

Coach Anxi...

Coach Anxi was the only one who dared to change players just now when Xiangbei was playing smoothly, and it really yielded a surprising effect.

Underneath that seemingly gentle and harmless appearance, hidden is a true Japanese basketball master!

When he was a national player, he was invincible throughout Asia.

As a college coach, he was known for his cruel training and changeable tricks.

So much so that his gentle smile after retirement has made many people forget how terrifying Anzai Mitsuyoshi once was!

One move is followed by another, and the rhythm is one wave after another.

Sanno hasn't even solved the previous problem yet. He is already stabbing him. He always controls the initiative on the field and does not give Sanno any time to breathe and think about countermeasures. His ability to adapt is far superior to that of his own coach, Sanno. above.

This may be the biggest trump card of this Xiangbei team!

　The Battle of the Mountain King took longer to write than I thought...part of it was due to your temptation^^ There were a lot of plots in it that were originally reserved for the battle between Xiangyang and Shohoku, but I had to rethink them later.

　　Anyway, I’ve already written this, so I’d better write it in full. It’s like fulfilling a youthful dream. However, the main character doesn’t appear for a long time. I hope it’s not weird. Anyway, there is only one scene in the whole book that the main character is not present but the focus is on the description. .

　　This battle must be written completely, but I will push the plot as soon as possible. One plot plus a twist and another reversal will end this battle. It is expected to be about 20,000 words in two days.
