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

Chapter 24 The Throne of Kanagawa
Being on the main roster of the national team does not necessarily mean that he will be the main player of the national team, but coach Anxi did not explain anything more.

After all, for Japanese high school basketball, there is no difference at all between the main players and substitutes of the national team.

"I didn't replace you before because I still had the idea of ​​winning in my heart. It's because I know you are the kind of person who can stand up again even if you are knocked down." Coach Anzai put his hand on Rukawa Kaede's leg. , said word for word: "But what we have to do next has nothing to do with winning or losing."

"Observe his movements carefully, observe how he handles the ball, and try to understand every intention of his. I will review the video with you after the game and analyze it with you, then maybe..."

A flash of light flashed across Coach Anxi's lenses: "Maybe by this time next year, you can barely catch up with him with the help of your teammates!"

Next year... with the help of teammates... I can barely catch up with the opponent?
Rukawa Kaede fell silent.

Coach Anxi stood up and said nothing more.

These words may hit Rukawa Kaede's self-esteem, but this is a reality he must accept.

Only by being baptized by cruel reality can he grow faster and truly see the back of No. 13!

I heard that that person transferred from Dragon Kingdom.

The Longguo High School basketball community didn't pay much attention to such a talent, and didn't let him stay in the country?

To what extent is the surplus of basketball talent in the Dragon Kingdom reached?I feel that even the NSAA in the United States is far from reaching such a height.

Frankly speaking, Coach Anxi is very puzzled by this.

Even if there is indeed a certain gap between the Dragon Kingdom and the Japanese basketball world, the gap is not so big as to be outrageous.

As a member of the Japanese basketball community, this is really disappointing.

But it’s not all bad. At least it can change Japan’s high school basketball world. Putting a catfish in a pool may not be purely damaging to the ecology of the pool... huh?

When Coach Anzai was thinking about it, he suddenly saw Kaede Rukawa, who had been burying his head, finally raised his head.

This time, there seemed to be no confusion and unwillingness in his eyes, let alone anger.

Instead, he showed his usual coldness and calmness, staring at the Xiangyang No. 13 on the field with great concentration.

"Ah……"

Coach Anxi finally showed a smile and relief on his face.

This is why he didn't replace Rukawa Kaede early.

It seems the catfish is working.

If you want to break and then stand up, you must break thoroughly enough. After all, you have not misjudged this child.

Facing the Dragon Kingdom, although Japan is only a challenger, the potential of No. 13 is certainly disappointing.

But Japan will eventually have children who are better than the previous generation.

And there is another child like this in Xiangbei!
Xiangbei may not have a chance to win today, but the gains will never be less.

It seems that the Japanese basketball world is finally starting to become interesting, and even this white-haired Buddha who has been calm for a long time feels a little excited.

………………

Rukawa Kaede was replaced by Mu Mu Gongyan.

Xiangbei, who was missing an ace, actually found some rhythm of the game again.

After all, except Sakuragi Hanamichi, everyone was shrouded in the haze of the ace's defeat against the ace.

Regardless of Akagi, Mitsui or Miyagi, they will always be distracted by the open duel between the two of them intentionally or unintentionally. The incomprehensible knot coupled with a high degree of tension and depression has caused the entire team to perform abnormally. state.

However, the fate of Rukawa Kaede and the joining of Konobu Kigure broke this rigidity, allowing Shohoku to gradually return to the right path, and started a fast attack with Xiang Yang, as if he wanted to vent all the depression just now.

After Shohoku's baseline kick, Miyagi made a wonderful pass after adjusting his mentality. Hisashi Mitsui faced the defensive Hasegawa and scored a three-pointer.

Lin Dong immediately returned the three-pointer.

Miyagi broke through and caused a blocking foul on Takano, and scored two free throws and scored two points.Lin Dong turned around and attracted the four-man team of Miyagi, Sakuragi, Konobu Mugure and Takenori Akagi to surround him, and assisted Ito, who was in no man's land on the outside, to score another three-pointer.

Akagi Takenori forced a shot from the basket, and the basketball bounced out of the frame. Sakuragi Hanamichi actually faced Takano and completed a make-up dunk, recovering two points.

While Hanamichi Sakuragi imitated the gorilla, patting his chest and howling, he finally ignited Shohoku's counterattack, and also won some long-lost applause for Shohoku.

But what followed was a one-stop layup by Lin Dong who received the ball from the baseline. He easily turned around and passed Miyagi Ryota, faced the double iron wall of Akagi and Sakuragi, and ignited the audience with a violent windmill dunk to complete the game. 2+1.

The score is still slowly opening up.

Xiangyang's rhythm control is ridiculously good, but at least Shohoku's offense has generally returned to normal. Even after Sakuragi Hanamichi's second attack with two rebounds in a row, it felt a little bit extraordinary.

Before the end of the first quarter, Lin Dong made another steal and assisted Hanata to score two points at the basket. The score in the first quarter was fixed at 48:18.

The arena echoed with countless cheers for Xiangyang and Lin Dong, but in the stands, several top eight teams waiting for the next game fell into collective silence.

Xiangyang's first-year freshman... only took 10 minutes to beat everyone in the game to silence.

29分、8抢断、6助攻、1篮板、2次盖帽，率领缺了藤真的翔阳，在第一节和湘北打出了整整30分的分差！

This is the single-quarter data handed over by the first-year freshman Xiangyang.

Yes, it’s not half-time or full-time, it’s a single quarter!

Moreover, his face is not red, his heart is not beating, he is out of breath, and he looks like he still has some energy left. If he has to play the whole game, this guy can't score 100 points?
Or super triple-double or even super quadruple-double data such as steals, assists, blocks, etc. Well...if you add defensive rebounds, a five-double is not impossible!

The opponent is Xiangbei. Xiangbei, which only lost one point in the practice match with Lingnan, the semi-finals last year, is not the other weak team in the county competition.

This new guy is so scary!

Akira Sendō was lying on the fence, not knowing what he was thinking, while Shigeichi Taoka frowned and kept shaking his legs.

Over in Hainan, coach Gao Touli also had a constipated look on his face for the first time.

Mu Shen noticed his expression.

As the head coach of Kanagawa King Hainan, Gao Touli has been teaching in Hainan for 17 years. He has led Hainan to enter the national competition for [-] consecutive times and reached the semi-finals three times. There is no need to say much about his coaching ability and vision.

Known as a wise general by the Kanagawa High School basketball community, he is best at analyzing a player's strengths and weaknesses and then finding ways to train or balance them.

Mu Shenyi could feel that since the start of the game, all of Coach Gao Tou's attention had been focused on Xiangyang's No. 13 newcomer.

If we follow the experience of participating in national competitions in the past two years, after watching a certain player's performance in a game, Gao Touli will often laugh and analyze many of the opponent's strengths and weaknesses, and even some Tactics against the other party may have been formulated.

But now... Gao Touli remained silent from beginning to end, with a serious look on his face, as if he was thinking about a difficult decision.

But obviously, that is a fruitless thinking, at least not yet.

Even Coach Gao Tou feels a little helpless?
And Kiyota Nobunaga, who always loved chirping next to him, actually stopped chirping today. Instead, he stared blankly at Xiangyang's No. 13.

Mu Shenyi even saw a hint of fear in his eyes.

It can make this guy who is not afraid of anything and who may not even see the true strength of No. 13 feel scared.

Xiangyang’s No. 13...

Super newbie?

The new king of Kanagawa?
As soon as Mu Shen cast his gaze down the court, he saw the guy sitting on the bench, taking the water bottle handed to him by the Xiangyang Basketball Manager, and drinking water.

He could see Gao Touli's worry.

He could also see the newcomer's bottomless strength.

But he is not the immature Rukawa Kaede.

The corners of Mu Shenyi's mouth curved slightly, and he fixed his gaze on Xiangyang No. 13.

Do you want the Kanagawa throne under me?
Then let it go, I'm waiting for you!
