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

Chapter 167 Come again? !

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

Just after scoring one goal, the Xiangyang fans area was already shouting MVP.

Although Lin Dong's singles ability has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and needs no elaboration, facing two high school students who are now known as Japan's strongest two, he can still score steadily, which finally attracted a burst of exclamation and praise from the commentators. , but while praising them, they also did not hesitate to praise Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede.

"The game has just begun. Lin Dong shot the ball very resolutely. The two players from Xiangbei entered the rhythm of the game a little slower than the other party..."

Coach Anzai on the sidelines remained silent, but Goro Domoto on the right side of the stand smiled slightly.

Getting into game rhythm a little slower?

This commentator doesn't know much about football, and he doesn't understand what happened just now... Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede's reactions were actually fast enough, and their double-teaming was just right. It was definitely a top-level defense.

Just because Lin Dong shot too fast, it felt like he didn't even aim for the basket at that time, so even if he scored, Goro Domoto believed that this was still a successful defense.

Because this kind of shooting without aiming at the basket is too hasty and does not match the habitual play style when studying Lin Dong's video tape.

What Lin Dong has shown in all the previous summer league and winter selection games is the type that emphasizes hit rate and rationality of play. There is only one reason for such a hasty move, and that is because he feels the pressure of the opponent's defense. , forcing him to shoot early!

Domoto Goro clearly saw that Rukawa Kaede's defense just now was deliberately taking care of Lin Dong's left side, and his arms were always around Lin Dong's side, and did not press his waist and eyes to impose resistance on him.

What was used was the targeted approach adopted by all parties after summarizing and analyzing Lin Dong’s video tape.

Lin Dong is not afraid of confrontation. His physical fitness is very strong, far beyond that of ordinary Asian high school students, and his confrontational nature is also very strong. Players like Rukawa Kaede cannot rely on physical strength to interfere.

Lin Dong is afraid of restricted space!

Because his ball-handling movements, shooting movements, etc. all have a habitual and subtle arm-swinging rhythm, so as long as his space is restricted and he is unable to swing his arms smoothly, he will be able to play. Disrupting his rhythm of ball control, making him feel uncomfortable and causing him to lose his normal level...

Rukawa Kaede did it, and it seemed to work very well. Maybe it had interfered with Lin Dong invisibly. Otherwise, with the ball just now, Lin Dong should have chosen to break through rather than force the shot.

The hit rate of such a strong shot cannot always be maintained at a high level. As long as Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede can continue to maintain such a high level of defense, if Lin Dong can make another strong shot, he will definitely hit the iron!

Now Xiangbei should find a way to attack first on the offensive end...

While thinking, Mitsui Hisashi returned to the baseline and fired the baseline ball.

Shohoku's possession of the ball.

It can be seen that Xiangbei did not have any negative emotions because of the ball just now.

Miyagi Ryota controlled the ball, passed the midline with the ball, and faced Fujima's defense to stabilize his position: "It's okay, let's stabilize the ball first!"

As far as the eye can see at this time, Lin Dong is watching Rukawa Kaede, Fujima is watching himself, and Xiangyang's choice on the defensive end is exactly as coach Anzai predicted in advance.

Shohoku's offensive points are greater than Xiangyang's defensive surface. The five members of the team, including Akagi, Hisashi Mitsui, and Rukawa Kaede, all have absolute finishing abilities. However, the only person Xiangyang can completely prevent any one of them from death is Lin Dong.

Others, whether Toru Hanagata faces Akagi under the basket, or Fujima goes to face Hisashi Mitsui or Kaede Rukawa, can be used as loopholes.

One-on-one marking is useless against Xiangbei. If you want to strangle Xiangbei's offense, Xiangyang's best choice is to strangle the starting point of the offense and solve the problem from the source.

So what I have to do is break through Fujima's defense!

As long as the ball can be passed out, whether it is passed to Akagi or Hisashi Mitsui under the basket, Xiangyang can lose sight of one thing on the defensive end.

There is no need to consider the direction of Rukawa Kaede. Lin Dong is still an unsolvable existence. The important thing is...

Miyagi Ryota suddenly transferred the ball behind his back and broke through to the right. Fujima's defensive movements were not messy at all. After experiencing the breakthrough in the summer league, his skills, consciousness and mentality were far better than before. The opponent's shoulders sank. , we have already judged the route of breakthrough and blocked it in time.

What followed was a big pendulum clock, and the right thrust turned into a left pull.

Fujima continued to keep his position, but Miyagi Ryota immediately hit another big swing from behind.

Being short has the advantage of being shorter. It is easier to change direction and the center of gravity is more stable. The two changes of direction in the blink of an eye are done smoothly. But even so, Fujima is still able to keep up with his rhythm. At the same time, he stretches out his big hand and Turning from defense to attack, he seemed to have completely seen through Miyagi's tricks. Taking advantage of his height and wingspan, he was still able to score the ball.

Seeing that the opponent's big hand was almost touching the basketball, Miyagi Ryota directly held the ball with both hands and jumped high.

Fujima also took off, but instead of raising his hand to block his shot, he consciously moved his hand to his left, blocking the passing route between him and Hisashi Mitsui.

A smile appeared on Miyagi Ryota's lips.

The opponent's intention was clear and executed perfectly. He knew that he had no basket and knew that all his actions were just to pass the ball to Hisashi Mitsui, but Fujima seemed to have forgotten... The end points of Shohoku were not just Hisashi Mitsui and Rukawa. maple.

Swish!

The basketball was 'thrown' by him, towards the basket.

Or to be more precise, this is a pass, and the target is Takenori Akagi under the basket!

As long as Akagi is allowed to catch the ball under the basket, his offensive power will not be weaker than that of Toru Hanagata in the mid-range...

A wonderful pass, the ball went into the hands of Takenori Akagi.

Having experienced the pressure of NBA centers, and having fought against Shigehiro Mori, and then feeling the pressure of Toru Hanagata under the basket, Takenori Akagi felt as if he was nothing.

While holding the ball, he just leaned his body hard, and the strong force immediately knocked Hanagata Toru back a step.

Strength is always the only way to win for a center under the basket.

Two flames shone in Takenori Akagi's eyes.

These 2 points are mine!

He suddenly raised the ball, turned around and jumped up, making a powerful chop, but the next second...

A big hand reached out from behind him.

It's not that the flower shape is transparent. At this time, the flower shape is still out of position. It doesn't even have time to jump, and it is even running backwards. Takenori Akagi felt that the guy behind him jumped higher than him! The big hand that stretched out from behind caught the basketball he was holding in both hands with great precision. ,

Snapped!

boom!

The basketball was forcibly dragged away by the opponent. Takenori Akagi smashed his hands on the basket, but it was empty.

wow...

There were exclamations in the arena again, and cheers for Xiangyang and Lin Dong erupted.

It's Lin Dong!

A trace of surprise flashed in Takenori Akagi's eyes, what was Rukawa Kaede doing? !

At this moment, he didn't even have time to look back, but from the corner of his eye, he just saw Toru Hanagata blocking Rukawa Kaede who was following him.

But when he fell from the basket in a hurry, Xiangyang's counterattack had already begun.

Lin Dong had already distributed the ball to Fujima before it even landed. Fujima advanced with a fast break. Facing Miyagi Ryota's defense, he almost got out of the way with two changes of direction. Miyagi Ryota gritted his teeth and kept up, but lost half of his body. However, they were unable to stop Fujima from going down quickly. In the blink of an eye, the two of them had rushed to the free throw line in the frontcourt.

Fujima combined the ball with the ball and made a three-step layup. Even though Miyagi had jumped up, his height disadvantage prevented him from reaching Fujima's release point.

Fortunately, there is Sakuragi.

He was the fastest in Shohoku except Miyagi to return to defense. Although he was half a step slower than the two of them, he also jumped up behind Fujima.

The terrifying jumping ability coupled with his height and wingspan made his head almost at the same height as Fujima's shot. At this time, with a hook of his big hand, he actually knocked back this inevitable layup.

The power of this shot was huge. The basketball returned to the center line and was grabbed by Lin Dong who rushed up like a gust of wind.

"Ah, ah, ah! It's Takato-san again!" Sakuragi Hanamichi shouted angrily: "Rukawa Fox, what are you guarding against!"

Mitsui Hisashi was at Lin Dong's side at this time. While Lin Dong was picking up the ball, he stretched out his hands and wanted to forcibly block Lin Dong's advancing speed. However, Lin Dong turned around and easily bullied him into the defense. Position in the middle.

But after all, this turn also gave others the opportunity to pursue and defend.

Rukawa Kaede finally caught up with Lin Dong and used Mitsui Hisashi's cover to help defend, forming a double-team.

But Lin Dong immediately turned around, squeezed Mitsui Shou's center of gravity, and actually forced his way through the two of them.

After all, Mitsui Shou's speed was a little slower. He couldn't keep up with this step no matter what. Only Rukawa Kaede managed to catch it.

During the few months at the Lloyd training base, his physical fitness and defensive skills have greatly improved. Although he still feels inadequate when facing Lin Dong, he can barely keep up with a few steps, and In just a few steps, the cherry blossom tree path ahead was blocked.

——Student Lin Dong is still not something that either of you can fight alone. You must cooperate closely. Only by defending two against one, and then using some of Lin Dong's habitual movements for targeted defense can you reap the benefits!

In the blink of an eye, the situation almost exactly the same as the first ball was formed.

Another double-team from two people, and the encirclement was successful in an instant.

At this time, there was still one step away from the three-point line, and even Goro Domoto in the stands couldn't help but admire it.

The defensive capabilities of these two people are no longer the same as those in the summer league. Whether it is their footsteps, their awareness of blocking Lin Dong's breakthrough route, or even the space for double-teaming, they are now at their best.

He is indeed a talented player, and the effect seems to be better than the cooperation between Tsuchiya Jun and Morohoshi, who specialize in practicing defense against Lin Dong.

This ball can definitely be intercepted, or at least it can force Lin Dong to score the ball. As long as Lin Dong can't score as he wants, it will be the most successful defense against Xiangyang!

Rukawa Kaede still stuck his body near Lin Dong's left elbow, while Sakuragi Hanamichi blocked the route on the right. Both of them had fighting spirit burning in their eyes.

come on!

But next second...

Lin Dong stood up in a hurry.

Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi also jumped up at the same time, but Lin Dong took off too quickly and resolutely, with too much explosive power, and he controlled the lead of the rhythm, so that the blocks blocked by the two people's jumps could not touch his release point at all. , could only barely cover Lin Dong's eyes.

But it seems that it doesn't matter whether he covers it or not, because he shot too fast, and it was another shot that didn't aim very well at the frame. It was too casual, just like the previous shot!

Swish!

The basketball was shot quickly, drawing a high parabola in the air.

Are you betting like this again?

Not only Hanamichi Sakuragi and Kaede Rukawa, but also Goro Domoto in the stands had a flash of surprise in their eyes.

The two defenses are so close, such a shot makes no sense at all. This does not seem like Lin Dong's usual choice... There is no way this goal will be scored!

Ah, yes...

Goro Domoto seemed to understand.

At this time, there were only Fujima and Miyagi Ryota under the basket, and with the height difference between the two, Fujima had an absolute advantage in rebounding, so Lin Dong dared...

Before he could finish his thoughts, there was a swishing sound, and the basketball had steadily penetrated into the net and gone into the bag.

And Sakuragi Hanamichi's shout just came out at this time: "Backboard!"

No backboard.

3 points scored, 5:0!
