Slam Dunk, Start with a Perfect Three-Pointer

"Wow!"

With the whistle of the referee.

The two sides are ready to jump the ball.

The referee's basketball is thrown high.

Akagi and Koichiro Nango jumped at the same time to fight for the ball.

But what I didn't expect was.

Nango Koichiro's strength is almost the same as Akagi-.

The two were in a stalemate in the air for a while.

Nango Koichiro shouted, and directly slapped the ball heavily into the hands of Tsukutake point guard Natsume Hiroshi.

"Can that kid's strength be able to hold down Akagi?"

Yuzumi said with some surprise.

"That's Tsukutake's first-year freshman Koichiro Nango."

Hikoichi explained.

"Is it actually so strong in terms of strength?"

"Looks like Tsukutake also has a very powerful newcomer this year."

Sendoh on the side smiled.

"interesting."

The audience in the auditorium was very surprised.

"See? That first grader is stronger than Akagi!"

"It seems that Tsukutake is also very strong this year."

"That yellow-haired boy can actually suppress Akagi in terms of strength, it seems that this is a good match!"

Takeshi Tsujiu's cheerleaders cheered in unison.

"Tsukutake will win!"

"Tsukutake will win!"

The eyes of the audience return to the field.

Takeshi Tsujiu, who got the opportunity to attack, played steadily.

Point guard Natsume Hiroshi advances with the ball!

Miyagi stood in front of Natsume, putting on a standard defense.

Natsume Hiroshi showed a disdainful smile.

A simple crotch dribble and change of direction squeezed out the space for breakthrough.

"Oops!"

Miyagi exclaimed inwardly.

But I can only see Natsume Hiroshi breaking through from Miyagi's right hand!

"This guy is not that simple!"

Miyagi thought secretly.

Whether it's the dribble just now or the timing of the breakthrough, including the clever use of the body.

Just got stuck in his defensive position.

Obviously, Takeshi Tsuji has studied himself.

Natsume, who broke through to the middle distance, faced Kaede Rukawa's supplementary defense without a trace of panic.

With a shake of his right hand, the basketball in his hand flew directly towards the baseline.

Wu Dai has been waiting for a long time.

He held the ball and immediately put himself in a shooting position.

Sakuragi immediately raised his hands up.

If Wu Dai dares to pull out directly, he must face Sakuragi's big hat!

Wu Dai didn't shoot directly, the shot was too reluctant.

"good!"

Coach Anzai in the rest area nodded in satisfaction.

Unexpectedly, Sakuragi's defensive progress is so rapid, and even faced with this situation, he didn't even take off to block the shot!

"It seems that Tatsuhiko's training is really useful!"

Ayako on the side compliments Tatsuhiko.

"The main reason is that Sakuragi's understanding is better, and it's not all due to me.

Tatsuhiko shook his head with a smile, and looked at the court again.

Seeing that there was no room for a shot, Wu Dai immediately dribbled the ball left and right, trying to find a space for a breakthrough.

"Let me guard you! Don't try to score!"

Sakuragi stared fiercely at Wudai Yukazu in front of him.

Wu Dai didn't speak, just changing directions back and forth.

Suddenly, Wu Dai's ball went straight to the penalty area.

"Catch the ball!"

Nango Koichiro at the basket immediately caught the ball and prepared to jump for a layup.

"Don't try to score!"

Akagi roared and reached out to interfere with Nango Koichiro's layup.

"Stop looking down on people!"

For a while, the atmosphere on the field was a little dignified.

Akagi's defense is much stronger than the immature Sakuragi.

As the last iron gate of Shohoku, Nango Koichiro's obvious layup is obviously not going to work.

"Damn it! I'm underestimating Akagi Takenori."

Nango Koichiro bit his lip and turned back and forth anxiously.

Seeing that it has entered a dead ball state.

Natsume Hiroshi shouted from beyond the three-point line.

"Reorganize! Spread the word!"

Unable to get rid of Akagi's interference, Nango Koichiro could only choose to pass the ball.

Kenta Mine, who was on the outside line, received a pass from Nango and immediately took a shooting stance.

Kaede Rukawa quickly covered the defense and dismissed him.

"The defense of this round is very beautiful!"

Ayako said in admiration.

Her gaze was on the timing board.

There is not much time left for Tsukutake to attack.

"It's not over yet!"

Tatsuhiko on the side shook his head.

Sure enough, Takeshi Tsuji's reaction was so fast that the audience outside the venue were almost dumbfounded.

Kenta Mine from the baseline immediately passed the ball to Natsume at a 45-degree angle.

Natsume who received the pass did not hesitate at all, and threw the ball to Koichiro Nango who pulled it to the middle distance.

"Don't try to shoot!"

There are three seconds left on the shot clock.

Akagi and Mitsui, who was defending back, rushed to Koichiro Nango who was about to shoot.

However, this is still no pretense.

Seeing that two people have been attracted to defend, Nanxiang showed a satisfied look.

Immediately tucked the ball into the right corner.

Wu Daiyouhe was already ready to shoot.

Sakuragi, who had been sticking to the defense, immediately raised his hands.

"Shohoku's defense is so good!"

"It feels like Tsukutake's attack will take 24 seconds."

"It hurts morale! The first attack was blocked by Shohoku for 24 seconds!"

Compared with the previous few games, Shohoku's defensive strength has almost made a qualitative leap.

With Sakuragi's defense getting better and better.

Akagi and Sakuragi's one-point defense, Mitsui and Kaede Rukawa's quick touch-ups, and Kanjo and Tatsuhiko's brilliant steals.

Shohoku seems to have formed a good system defensively.

Wudai Yuka made a shooting posture, and at the same time stood on tiptoe.

Sakuragi jumped up immediately, ready to slap Wudai Yuhe hard.

However, this is still a feint!

See Sakuragi has taken off.

Wu Daiyouhe immediately received the ball and moved laterally to the right at the same time.

Sakuragi, who was picked up, had no chance to defend at all.

He could only watch as Wu Daiyouhe made a shot and scored a three-pointer.

"Beep!"

"Three points are valid! The game continues!"

Tsuji Takeshi relies on his super ball transfer ability and Wu Dai's personal ability.

He actually beat back this already caught in a dangerous situation!

"What a beautiful feint!"

"Just now I thought he was going to shoot!"

"Shohoku No. 15's defense is already very good, I didn't expect Wudai Yuka to make fake moves in the last few seconds!"

"Their passing speed is also very fast, from the outside to the inside, and then from the left corner to the right corner, this coordination is too beautiful!"

Ryonan's audience.

Hikoichi kept recording in his notebook.

Takeshi Tsuji's ability to transfer the ball is too strong, and it is difficult for even Ryonan to play this kind of fluent offense.

"That's what Tsukutake is all about."

Yuzu frowned.

"Their teamwork is really good, but Tsuhisa is not our opponent for Ryonan.

Koshino and Ikegami on the side also nodded in agreement.

Although there is such a smooth attack, Tsuji Takeshi's problem cannot be concealed.

This is why Tsukutake has not been able to enter the top four in Kanagawa.

"However, Shohoku needs to respond well, otherwise the rhythm of the game will be led away by Takeshi Tsujiu."

Yuzumi analyzed seriously.

"I didn't expect Sakuragi to defend Wudai Yuka. That guy's defense has improved a lot."

Sendoh on the side smiled.

Unexpectedly, Sakuragi, a basketball beginner, was able to defend Wudai Yuwa, which is a bit unexpected.

And on the other side.

Shinichi Maki has some appreciation in his eyes.

"Speed ​​and teamwork against Shohoku? Not going head to head with Shohoku, that's a really good idea."

Soichiro Jin nodded.

"Now it's time to see how Shohoku responds."

"Shohoku is not that strong."

Kiyota Nobunaga folded his hands on his chest with some disdain, and said softly.

"Shohoku should lose this game. I hope that when Shohoku's rookie king comes on the field, he will not chase points desperately."

"probably not."

Shinichi Maki didn't agree with Kiyota Nobunaga's thoughts and shook his head.

"Tsuhisa Takeshi's solution is only temporary, and their problems have not been resolved so far.

And in the audience of Shoyo.

Fujima and Hanagata crossed their arms and looked at Tsukutake's players appreciatively.

"Is this how Takeshi Tsuhisa will fight Shohoku? It's good, but it won't work against us Shoyo."

"As expected, Fujima found a solution so quickly."

Hanagata on the side nodded.

Fujima's talents, both as a coach and as a player, are unique.

"However, this method is also temporary. Shohoku can rely on its height advantage and high pass to gradually find its own rhythm."

Fujima's eyes went to Tatsuhiko on the bench.

"And that guy hasn't played yet. If Tsuji Takeshi has this ability, I'm afraid there won't be any suspense."

And at this time.

Shohoku's seating area.

Kogure, Ayako and the others stared wide-eyed.

Tsukutake's offensive efficiency is really unexpected.

If they have wonderful teamwork and offensive methods, how could they be just a Kanagawa top eight team!

Kogure said with some surprise.

"Tsuhisa's teamwork is a bit too strong."

"Yes, I didn't expect Takeshi Tsuji to pass the ball so fast. Is this really just a quarter-final team?"

10......

Kuwata said with some doubts.

Tatsuhiko looked nonchalant on the bench.

Jiuwu's cooperation is really good, but if they have this ability, it is still not enough. "

Seeing Tatsuhiko's confident performance, both Ayako and Kuwata seemed to have taken a reassurance.

Shohoku's absolute aces don't have any pressure, so they have nothing to worry about.

Coach Anzai was smiling.

"Tsuji Takeshi is not as tall as Shohoku, but faster than Shohoku."

In a good team, the tacit understanding of teammates is generally very high.

And Tsukutake is such a team.

Their teamwork is unparalleled in the entire Kanagawa Prefecture.

But this is also the biggest flaw that restricts them from moving forward.

"Sakuragi's defense has improved a lot, and Tsuji Takeshi's ace is also in good shape!"

Kogure watched appreciatively as the Shohoku players prepared to attack.

"It's not nearly enough."

Tatsuhiko shook his head.

"It's enough to defend average players, but it's not enough to face Tsuhisa Takeshi's trump card!"

Shohoku Ball Power!

Miyagi, with the ball crossing half-time, made a direct high-profile pass into the hands of Kaede Rukawa.

Kaede Rukawa took the pass and got into shooting position.

Seeing Kenta Mine in front of him is much taller than himself

Kaede Rukawa didn't hesitate, and directly made a three-pointer.

"Damn it, I can't reach it!"

Mine Kenta jumped high and tried to block Kaede Rukawa.

But limited by his height and wingspan, he couldn't even do basic interference.

The basketball in Kaede Rukawa's hand traced a perfect parabola in the air.

"Shua!"

Three-point hit.

The two sides are back on the same starting line again!

"Much taller than me!"

Feng Jiantai sighed deeply.

I have worked hard to defend the three-pointer just now.

But still nothing works!

"Good job!"

"Just fight like this! Be firm, even their height can't prevent you!

Ayako cheers loudly from the Shohoku rest area.

"Just fight like this, Rukawa!"

Kuwata and others stood up excitedly and cheered for Kaede Rukawa who was returning to defense.

And in the rest area of ​​Shoyo.

"Kaede Rukawa's offensive ability is a bit strong.

Fujima narrowed his eyes, watching Kaede Rukawa's back.

"This game is difficult for Tsuji Takeshi. The most difficult thing for them to face is this kind of player with strong attacking ability."

Hanagata added on the sidelines.

"Tsuhisa's height is too low, and a tall attacker like Kaede Rukawa, they have no way to defend at all.

"Keep watching, they should have prepared some tactics!"

Fujima shook his head and turned his gaze to the field again.

Akagi patted Kaede Rukawa on the shoulder in satisfaction.

"Good job! Just shoot the ball resolutely like this, and leave the rebound to us."

Then Akagi looked at the Tsuhisa player who was about to attack.

"Fight well! This match has to be won! Show them how good we are at Shohoku!"

"yes!"

The Shohoku players responded in unison.

The momentum of the entire Shohoku suddenly rose.

Even if they are compared with the three giants in Kanagawa, they are not far behind!

the other side.

Wu Dai Youhe clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.

"Cheer up, the game has just begun, let those guys see how good we are!"

Wu Dai's friendly eyes swept over Kainan and Shoyo's players.

"This year, we must enter the national competition!"

"!"

The Tsukutake players roared in unison.

This is their last county contest.

No matter who the opponent in front is, they must win!

Shohoku's seating area.

Tatsuhiko leaned back on the bench leisurely.

"I don't know how long Sakuragi can last."

Although Sakuragi's defensive level has improved a lot, there is still a big gap in the face of Tsuhisa Takeshi's ace Wudai Yuwa.

If he is scored by the opponent every time, it is estimated that the things he taught him will be left behind by him.

"But then it's my turn to play."

Tatsuhiko clenched his fists and looked at Ryonan, Kainan and Shoyo in the audience.

"I'll use this game to tell you, who is the real king of Kanagawa!"

The atmosphere on the field was a little frozen.

Even the audience outside the stadium fell silent.

The momentum of both sides rises at the same time, then the next goal is the most critical one!

This ball is very important to both sides.

This represents which side can take the initiative in the first half, or even the first half nine!.
