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

Chapter 171 Winter is coming

Although the score was widened again, the defense that did not lose its position just now seemed to have finally brought the two sides of the game back to a balanced line on the scene. At least it made people feel that Xiangbei was not completely unable to resist Lin Dong.

The cheers of the fans on both sides and the praises of the commentators continued to echo in the arena, and the game seemed to be heating up.

Shohoku's possession of the ball.

Even before the baseline ball was released, the changes in Xiangbei's formation could clearly be seen.

Rukawa Kaede actually no longer ran directly towards Xiangyang's baseline. Instead, he rushed outside the baseline and prepared to serve Mitsui Hisashi made a gesture to ask for the ball.

Mitsui Hisashi was slightly startled. Before he could recover, he heard Coach Anzai shouting: "Mitsui-san, give him the ball!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi almost jumped up when he heard this, his face full of disbelief.

Forget about him, the other people in Xiangbei were not much better, with their mouths wide open.

Lin Dong's offense is strong, but his defense is even more terrifying. With his super long wingspan and reaction speed, he often only plays 10 minutes of games, but his efficiency of averaging 4 to 5 steals and three or four blocks per game is absolutely outstanding in every attack. It’s a player’s nightmare, no one can guard against Lin Dong, but probably no one can break through Lin Dong’s defense!

This is a fact that has long been recognized by everyone in the Japanese basketball world.

As the trump card with the strongest offensive ability in Shohoku, Lin Dong will definitely keep an eye on Rukawa Kaede, so he will use Rukawa Kaede to pull Lin Dong out of Xiangyang's defensive lineup. This is not only what coach Anxi told everyone in advance. Tactics can even be said to be the only choice of other teams when facing Xiangyang from the summer league until now.

But now, just because Rukawa Kaede was not completely out of position when he was defending?

There were 1.2 million people in Xiangbei who didn't understand, but after all, it was the tactic arranged by coach Anzai, and the referee's voice urged him to serve.

"Wow, yeah, daddy is about to give up the game! We are finished!" Yingmuhua Daoguai shouted: "Xiaosan, don't listen to daddy, give me the ball!"

Mitsui Shou rolled his eyes at him with a dumbfounded look, and threw the ball to Rukawa Kaede with a heartbeat: "Just die!"

"Oh, mistress, you sent the wrong message! Look clearly, I am No. 10!"

"Shut up! Listen to the coach!"

The ball went into Rukawa Kaede's hands.

Lin Dong narrowed his eyes slightly, full of interest.

Does this guy finally have the courage to take action?

Yes, courage...

Although he lost to Sakuragi who had not yet matured in the Lloyd training base, that was actually because he had been tortured by Zhu Fangyu and others to the point of becoming a bit 'obsessive'.

Lin Dong had seen Stephen's training plan for Rukawa Kaede, and made many detailed adjustments to Rukawa Kaede's ball control and basic skills. If he could really show his strength, he would not lose to Sakuragi at that time no matter what. of.

After the battle with Sakuragi, Rukawa Kaede's mentality had completely collapsed. Even if he came back this time, even if he seemed to have changed a lot, that level of collapse was by no means the calm surface he had in the first few games. It can be concluded that he has recovered.

It was until the explosion of the ball just now, and even now, even though he knows that he has to face his own defense, he still chooses to attack with the ball.

This seemed to be the sign that he had truly stood up again.

Frankly speaking, it is easy to train to the point of becoming a demon or to become crazy. Lin Dong feels that such a person is not worthy of a second look, because he is too stupid and has poor self-regulation ability. Even if such a person trains to death, he will never be able to do it. There can be no real achievement.

But it was really difficult to rebuild a broken heart, and it only took a few months.

clap clap clap...

Rukawa Kaede passed the midfielder with the ball and stood outside the top of the three-point arc in front of Lin Dong.

"I'm starting to get a little curious." Lin Dong said with a smile: "Where did you go after you left Lloyd?"

"I will tell you when I beat you." Rukawa Kaede said coldly.

Lin Dong burst out laughing after hearing this, but his eyes shone with intense interest, and he finally looked at Rukawa Kaede in front of him more seriously.

It's not that they face up to the opponent's skills. The gap is always there, even when the opponent suddenly broke out just now.

This face-up is to face the other person's courage to climb out of the abyss of despair, because he has experienced the same thing, and only Lin Dong knows how difficult it is.

Not only those who can defeat you are called opponents, but those who are worthy of respect are also called opponents!

Then let me see how strong your psychological defense has been rebuilt.

If it is really a steel-like fortress, then I don't mind helping you make it stronger, but if it is just a pile of sand built up for show, then I will tear it down without mercy!

"A very courageous declaration." Lin Dong smiled and leaned down slightly, assuming a formal defensive posture: "But for you..."

"???" Rukawa Feng was slightly startled.

"I think winter is coming."

Of course, there are no Game of Thrones TV series in this era. Rukawa Kaede doesn't understand the plot, but he can roughly understand what the other person wants to express literally.

"Heh..." Rukawa Feng's lips curled up slightly.

The two people's words stopped suddenly, and were replaced by two pairs of eyes that met each other.

At this time, not only the two of them, but also every position on the field could feel the sparks of collision between the two people.

The two were one step away from each other, and the battle started.

Rukawa Kaede held the ball with both hands, his eyes were like a falcon, and his center of gravity was slightly lowered to protect the ball on his right waist.

He took a deep breath, held the ball and suddenly stepped forward to the left.

The other party's gaze seems to be always capturing all the movements on his body. He has no habit of staying in one place, nor will he be completely attracted by a single movement.

At this time, I didn't even put the ball down, so it was impossible to deceive the opponent, but the opponent still had to make a defensive posture, otherwise the fake would become real.

As expected, Lin Dong moved his center of gravity slightly to the left to block. But Rukawa Kaede immediately turned the heel of his pivot foot and turned his back to the right.

The basketball was put down by him, this time it was half true and half false.

Lin Dong took a step across with his left leg and blocked the ball in time, leaving him no room to break through. Fortunately, he didn't expect a breakthrough with this ball.

Rukawa Kaede dribbled the ball with his hips, suddenly collected the ball in his hand, took a step back, and then stood up.

A series of fake movements and weight swings, but the person opposite seemed to be completely unfazed by this trick. It was like a plaster on his body. He jumped up almost at the same time as himself. Even though he was one step away from him, he was extraordinary. The wingspan and height combined with the terrifying explosive power and reaction still made Rukawa Kaede feel like he was covered by clouds and the sun was covered in an instant.

He grabbed the basketball tightly with his left hand, pulled his wrist while it was still rising in the air, and passed his hand to Mitsui Hisashi.

Lin Dong obviously caught up with the reaction and blocked the ball in time with his right hand. Every defensive move seemed to be in sync with his attack.

But the real killer move lies behind!

Rukawa Feng's eyes suddenly became hot.

At this time, the two of them had risen to the highest point. Their figures paused in the air for a moment, but they did not choose to pass the ball.

Instead, he took advantage of the moment when he was at the highest point in the air to pull the "pass" hand back again. The oversized palm is the basis for him to be able to use this move, but it also has support. The most powerful thing is the terrifying core strength and ability to stay in the air.

At this moment, Rukawa Kaede only had eyes for the basket in front of him. Although his successive fake moves did not completely deceive Lin Dong, when the two men's upward momentum was exhausted and they began to fall, what else could the opponent do to seal the deal? Cover your own capital?

"This incredible change of hands! He actually made two or three moves in succession in the air!"

"The ability to stay in the air is too strong! Can this also be thrown?"

The two commentators had not yet finished their exclamations.

Swish!

The basketball has been released, but what follows...

Snapped!

That terrifying big hand continued to rise in Rukawa Kaede's eyes, and the basketball had been slapped down hard!

A trace of surprise flashed in Rukawa Feng's eyes.

The other party has obviously started to fall, has obviously...

Do not!

Only then did Rukawa Kaede realize that Lin Dong seemed to be taller in his eyes.

If his ability to stay in the air is reflected in the data, it seems that it is only a few tenths of a second longer than his own, but his control of his body and grasp of the timing of his jump made it so that when he had already started to fall, the guy seemed to still be hovering. In the air!

It seems that I still want to keep it simple...

dong dong!

The two landed one after the other. Rukawa Kaede's face did not show any change in expression. The brief surprise disappeared briefly on his face. He immediately turned around to chase the ball, but was beaten by Fujima who came out diagonally from the front. .

He and Miyagi chased and intercepted, and they were indeed faster than Fujima. They were able to get in front of Fujima when he reached the basket, but Fujima made a back pass, and Lin Dong followed closely. Jump after catching the ball.

boom!

15: 5.

"Oh, Fox, you are messing around again!" Sakuragi Hanamichi had just run to the basket at this time, but the shot had already been blocked. When he came back after chasing after him, the ball had just passed the midline, and the ball had already been poured in by Lin Dong.

Rukawa Kaede ignored his clamor, and had no time to think about the failure just now.

How could it be so easy to challenge the man standing on top of the clouds?

Failure is the norm, but as long as you dare to play, there are still thirty minutes in the game, and you still have plenty of time and opportunities!

He quickly ran to the baseline to pick up the ball, and with a full rhythm, before Lin Dong and Fujima could return to defense, he threw a long pass directly in the direction of Hisashi Mitsui who had not had time to return to defense in the frontcourt.

"nice shot!"

Hisashi Mitsui successfully caught the ball and shouted.

At this time, Fujima and Lin Dong, the two most troublesome guys in Xiangyang, were still in the backcourt. In front of them were Sakuragi Hanamichi, who had just come over from the midfield while cursing, and Hanamichi, who had just seen the pass and rushed back to the basket. Akagi.

Although that guy lost the ball again, he was not useless.

Mitsui Toshiyuki was full of confidence at this moment. The moment he caught the ball, he turned around and faked, and easily fired up Hasegawa, who was already half out of position. But before Mitsui's face showed a smile, Takano Shoichi had already It was blocked in time.

The advantage of preventing counterattacks just now is that there are many people in Xiangyang's backcourt at this time.

Two against one!

A slight smile appeared on Kitano's face on the sidelines.

Both sides are in good shape and their tactics are open.

Regarding Mitsui Hisashi, how could he not make any arrangements?

Xiangbei can use two aces to double-team Lin Dong, why can't Xiangyang use two role players to double-team Hisashi Mitsui? Takano Akira doesn't have a very good restricting effect on Sakuragi. Compared with Sakuragi's offensive ability, even if he is let go, as long as he can lock Mitsui Hisashi away, it will be worthwhile.

At this time, faced with the blockade of two tall people over 190 centimeters, Mitsui Touichi felt like he was being blocked by clouds.

A lot of money was spent at Lloyd's training base, but in just one month of training, it was the limit that could correct his shooting touch and allow him to practice his magic skills.

Stephen didn't teach him how to get rid of two 190cm tall guys at the same time to force a 3-pointer.

At this time, the two of them were side by side, and the defense that was originally full of loopholes suddenly turned into an iron wall.

Mitsui tried to break through, but his steps were just dreamy and agile, not fast... Faced with a large area of ​​defense by two people, these small shuffling steps were of little use, and his overall athletic ability was still a bit poor.

The fast break opportunity snatched by the wonderful pass was immediately cut off. Instead, he was surrounded and awkward, but he heard a shout: "Xiaosan! Here!"

　Sorry, everyone, I am really stuck today. I wrote thousands of words and then deleted them. I can only update two chapters today. I will sort out my thoughts tonight and I will definitely update three chapters tomorrow, and I will try to make up for it by updating three large chapters worth about 4000.
