"Contest!"
When Sakuragi Hanamichi and Kiyota Nobunaga both shouted "match", Mito Yohei couldn't help turning his head and glanced at Jinguji Martial Arts beside him. Martial Arts didn't hold him just now, so he probably had expected this situation. Come on.
"There's a good show!" Martial Arts smiled when he saw Sakuragi and Kiyota Nobunaga confronting each other in the field.
In the stadium, Kiyota Nobunaga was overjoyed when he saw that Sakuragi Hanamichi was what he thought. He must take this opportunity to teach Sakuragi Hanamichi a lesson, and at the same time let Coach Anzai and Shohoku's seniors see him. He didn't want to enter Xiangbei High School with the name of a related family member in the future.
"Just right!"
"I'll let you know how powerful this genius is!"
"I won't embarrass you. Didn't you just say that dunking is no big deal?"
"The game is also very simple. I do a slam dunk. As long as you can do the same thing as me, you will win!"
"If you can't do it, you lose."
Kiyota Nobunaga held the basketball in one hand and said to Sakuragi Hanamichi. Growing up, Kiyota Nobunaga was most proud of his jumping. Although Sakuragi Hanamichi in front of him was much taller than him, he did not believe that Sakuragi Hanamichi could replicate his dunk action.
It’s not that Kiyota Nobunaga is bragging. He has seen many junior high school students and high school students. There are too many people who are 180+cm tall and cannot dunk. Even if they can, most of them are just No deduction, but for Kiyota Nobunaga, no deduction? What the hell is that?
"Huh?!" Sakuragi Hanamichi was a little surprised by the competition method proposed by Kiyota Nobunaga. He originally thought it was a one-on-one bullfight, but he didn't expect that the other party proposed such a competition method, and he was a little stunned for a while.
When Kiyota Nobunaga saw Sakuragi like this, he thought it was because the other party was afraid, and immediately teased: "No way, no way, there are really people who can't even do a slam dunk and still look down on slam dunks, right?"
"If you can't do it, just say it's not as normal as me. After all, not everyone is a genius like me!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Kiyota Nobunaga laughed out loud, and was very happy to see Sakuragi Hanamichi showing such an expression.
"What?! You said I can't do it?!"
"You bastard, you dare to underestimate me, just do as you say, I will show you the power of Xiangbei Special Admissions!"
"I want you to know that people with connections like you and I are different!"
When Sakuragi Hanamichi saw that the other party dared to ridicule him, he became angry. Being so provoked by Kiyota Nobunaga, he immediately agreed.
When Kiyota Nobunaga saw Sakuragi agreeing, he immediately called his players and asked them to leave the court and make room. At the same time, Coach Anzai and Ryumasa Kiyota also came closer. Neither of them stopped Hanamichi Sakuragi and Nobunaga Kiyota. The two old men also looked very interested in this game.
"Get away! Watch out!"
Kiyota Nobunaga pushed Sakuragi Hanamichi away, and walked outside the three-point line with the basketball in his arms. Sakuragi who was pushed away quickly calmed down, stood a little away, clasped his hands on his chest, and looked Looking at Kiyota Nobunaga in the distance. He wanted to see what tricks Kiyota Nobunaga could play.
"Hey, Martial Arts, does this really don't matter?"
"Although that kid's jumping is very good, it is more or less inferior to that of Sakuragi. After all, there is such a big difference in height between the two."
"Wouldn't it be a good idea to directly fall into the face of Coach Anxi's old friend?"
Mitsui Toshiwa, Budo and Yohei also walked to the sidelines at this moment to watch the "Slam Dunk Contest" between Sakuragi and Kiyota Nobunaga at close range. Mitsui Hisashi looked at the confident Kiyota Nobunaga and couldn't help but feel worried.
He admitted that Kiyota Nobunaga's jumping was good, far superior to that of his peers, and even many high school students were far inferior to him, but if the opponent was Sakuragi Hanamichi, then...
"No, no matter who wins or loses, it won't have any impact."
"Besides, I'm actually not optimistic about this kid Sakuragi. Slam dunk... it's not just the bounce that's enough."
"If it's purely about touch, Sakuragi will definitely win. Even if it's about absolute bounce, Sakuragi won't necessarily lose, but if it's a slam dunk..."
Budo immediately shut up when he said this, because at this time, Kiyota Nobunaga in the stadium had already made a move.
Standing outside the three-point line, Kiyota Nobunaga raised his left and right feet backwards and did a simple stretch. He dribbled the ball on the spot to find a feel for the ball. Then he quickly dropped the ball and started rushing towards the basket. .
On the first goal, Nobunaga Kiyota did not make any mistakes. After rushing into the basket, he jumped directly and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand. If you ignore Nobunaga Kiyota's age and height, This was just a mediocre slam dunk.
"Hmph! That's it?! That's it?!"
When Sakuragi Hanamichi saw this scene, he snorted and mocked directly. After Kiyota Nobunaga landed, he picked up the ball, threw it to Sakuragi Hanamichi, and mocked:
"Shut up, you can do it! I'm afraid a slam dunk of this level will be very difficult for you."
Sakuragi Hanamichi subconsciously caught the basketball. Listening to Kiyota Nobunaga's ridicule, not only was he not angry at this moment, but he showed a confident smile. He didn't answer the question and walked directly to the three-point line with the basketball in his arms.
He seemed to be very determined to be "the same" as Nobunaga Kiyota said before. He went to the position outside the three-point line where Nobunaga Kiyota was standing just now. When he got to the position, he didn't forget to ask: "Hey, this is here. Bar?!"
"Don't be nagging, it's the same everywhere. You can't do it anyway." Kiyota Nobunaga waved his hand, completely unable to understand Sakuragi Hanamichi's state of mind at this time.
"Hey, I'm afraid you will have other excuses and won't admit it!"
Sakuragi scoffed, moved his shoulder and neck muscles, and without dribbling or moving his knee joints, he jumped slightly and started running towards the basket with the ball.
Sakuragi Hanamichi's dribbling speed is not very fast, but each step is very big. Soon, Sakuragi Hanamichi came to the basket, grabbed the ball with one hand, jumped lightly, and quickly He jumped into the air and then poured the ball into the basket.
The whole series of Sakuragi Hanamichi's movements were quite relaxed. It was obviously a slam dunk, but this time he performed it very lightly. It gave people the impression that he was dunking, as if he was just eating and drinking.
Different from the explosiveness and power shown in Kiyota Nobunaga's powerful dunk just now, what stands out about Sakuragi's shot is that it is "easy".
"oh!"
Kiyota Ryuumasa, who was watching the game from the sidelines, was surprised when he saw Sakuragi Hanamichi's slam dunk. He was greatly surprised by Sakuragi Hanamichi's goal. He had expected many situations in his mind before. I guessed that Sakuragi Hanamichi might be able to make a more powerful dunk than Kiyota Nobunaga, but I didn't expect that Sakuragi's dunk was so light.
And the information revealed behind this goal is also huge. Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was able to dunk like this, didn't use all his strength at all!
If you were a dunk-free player, you wouldn't be able to do such a light dunk action.
"Anxi, I just listened to their chat. This red-haired boy was also specially recruited?"
"He is only in the third grade of junior high school?"
Kiyota Ryuumasa touched his chin and looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi with deep interest. Sakuragi attracted his attention before just because of his figure and bright hair color, but now, there are other things.
"Ah! Next year's freshmen." Coach Anzai was a little surprised when he saw Sakuragi's dunk. He didn't expect Sakuragi, a rookie, to be able to perform such an easy dunk, but he is much better than Kiyota Ryuumasa. After all, he knew Sakuragi Hanamichi's bounce, so it was not unusual to be able to make such an action.
"Xiangbei High School is really full of talents!"
"Next year's IH, I'm afraid you really have the ability to compete for the championship."
As Kiyota Ryuumasa spoke, he turned to look at Jinguji Budō and Mitsui Hisashi who were standing not far away watching the game, and he also became a little happy. After all, his grandson will go to Xiangbei in the future. The stronger Xiangbei is, the better it will be for his grandson. Kiyota Ryuumasa is not afraid that his grandson will not be able to compare with others, nor is he afraid that his grandson will be hit by other people's talents.
In basketball, you can only become stronger by playing with strong people!
"Hey, this level of slam dunk is too easy and a bit boring. Let's do something interesting!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi grabbed the basketball with one hand, threw the ball to Kiyota Nobunaga, and said with a smile. At this moment, Sakuragi Hanamichi no longer had any anger in his heart. Looking at Kiyota Nobunaga's face full of surprise, Sakuragi was in an unknown mood.
When Kiyota Nobunaga heard what Sakuragi Hanamichi said, he slapped the basketball with both hands. His surprised expression quickly faded, and he responded excitedly:
"Okay! This is what makes it interesting!"
"If I win you casually, I won't want to go to Shohoku High School!"
Nobunaga Kiyota dribbled the ball and ran outside the three-point line again. This time, he was finally ready to take it seriously. He stood outside the three-point line holding the basketball, stared at the basket and took a deep breath.
He swung the ball with both hands and dropped it. While the basketball rebounded, he quickly controlled the basketball and ran towards the basket. This time, Kiyota Nobunaga's running speed was also slightly slower, controlling the rhythm of the movement. After combining the ball, he strode to the basket and took off directly under the basket.
During the flight, the basketball was suddenly pulled down from Kiyota Nobunaga's head to his crotch, and then he raised the ball over his head again and poured the ball into the basket.
Pull-bar slam dunk, Kiyota Nobunaga's dunk action seemed a bit awkward this time, and it could only be regarded as a free dunk. Although the dunk action was stretched, the basketball clearly touched the edge of the basket when it entered the basket.
Although there were flaws, such a slam dunk made Hisashi Mitsui's jaw drop and he stared at Kiyota Nobunaga on the court.
"How can this be?!"
Mitsui Shou looked at Kiyota Nobunaga in the distance who was more than ten centimeters taller than him in surprise, with his mouth hanging open. If it was just a slam dunk, Mitsui Hisashi would be a little surprised at most, and a little envious of Nobunaga Kiyota's talent, but such a pull-bar slam dunk came from a 170+cm junior high school student, and he could not accept it no matter what.
Even if the height of the basket is only 290cm, because Mitsui Hisashi...can't do it...
"You're really a great boy!" Coach Anzai raised his head slightly and pushed up his glasses, as if he wanted to take a closer look at Kiyota Nobunaga. It can be predicted that if Kiyota Nobunaga's height increases, then this boy will definitely be able to Become a pretty scary player.
"There is something. If Kiyota's talent is played without the ball, it will be a bit wasted."
"Bounce means explosion. If this kid practices dribbling and breakthrough, he definitely has hope of becoming an excellent point guard."
"Hainan's use of him is too wasteful."
Jinguji Budo looked at Kiyota Nobunaga on the field, thinking about how he would use his opponent's abilities after joining Shohoku in the future. Kiyota Nobunaga's talent is stronger than he expected, which will be very helpful for Shohoku's future.
"How about it! Can you do it?! Red-haired monkey!"
Kiyota Nobunaga was also in a good mood after completing the dunk. He put his hands on his hips and laughed.
Sakuragi Hanamichi curled his lips, walked to Kiyota Nobunaga, bent down to pick up the basketball, and then walked outside the three-point line. Thinking back to Kiyota Nobunaga's slam dunk just now, Sakuragi Hanamichi breathed a sigh of relief. , began to run towards the basket.
He was traveling very fast, and soon he was close to the basket. When he was still about two meters away from the basket, Sakuragi Hanamichi started the ball. Two steps later, he was still dozens of centimeters away from the basket. Jumping up, he jumped very high. If he just glided over, he would be able to perform a beautiful slam dunk for everyone.
However, Sakuragi Hanamichi took the ball back and lowered it to his crotch position, but with just such a movement, Sakuragi Hanamichi had already glided under the basket, and when Sakuragi raised the ball again and wanted to put the ball into the basket , all routes have been blocked by the basket.
"Dang~"
With a soft sound, Sakuragi Hanamichi was blocked by the basket. The basketball rebounded quickly, hit Sakuragi's head and bounced out. After landing, Sakuragi also staggered, and took two steps forward before he regained his footing. .
The mistake in the pull-up slam dunk caused Sakuragi Hanamichi to lose his center of gravity in the air. He was unable to stand firm after landing and almost fell.
Although Sakuragi was not injured, his face was flushed, almost the same color as his hair.
“Hahahahaha!
"
"As expected! You can't do it! I am indeed a genius!"
"Hahahaha! I won!"
Nobunaga Kiyota raised his head and laughed. The failure of Sakuragi Hanamichi's re-engraving made Nobunaga Kiyota feel good and he announced his victory.
"Damn it! Damn it!
!
"
"This genius actually failed, how is this possible?!"
"asshole!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi was furious, and did not answer Kiyota Nobunaga's words. He picked up the basketball and trotted to the three-point line, ready to do it again. Sakuragi didn't think he could even do such a "simple" action. .
"It's useless, it's useless, you can't succeed, hahahaha!"
"You are different from me, hahaha!"
Kiyota Nobunaga's laughter never stopped. He beat Sakuragi and made him feel very good about himself.
Just when Sakuragi Hanamichi was about to try again with the ball, Jinguji Budo walked into the field and grabbed Sakuragi who was about to start.
"Okay, let's end the competition here. We have several places to go next."
"This time, Qingtian wins. If you feel unwilling to do so, train hard after you go back."
Martial arts grabbed Sakuragi's shoulders and whispered. He didn't want Sakuragi to try again. A pull-up slam dunk was not difficult at all for a bouncing player like Sakuragi. He could easily complete it by controlling the rhythm. Sakuragi Hanamichi's failure was just because it was the first time for him to do such an action.
Try it a few times and you'll naturally get the hang of it.
But martial arts will not let Sakuragi succeed like this. If this kid really wins, this bastard will definitely be distracted. Instead of letting Sakuragi drift away, it is better to let him remember today's failure and let him train by himself. More hard work. Thinking back to today's scene and thinking of Kiyota Nobunaga's face, Sakuragi will definitely train very hard.
As for whether Sakuragi will feel depressed because of such a failure? Stop it, an idiot wouldn't have such emotions! Even if there is, it's just a matter of Haruko's words.
"Ah~~" Sakuragi Hanamichi grabbed his hair in annoyance, quite unwillingly. Not willing to lose is one thing, but even more unwilling to lose with such a simple action.
"Martial arts senior! Slam dunk, you can do it too, right?!"
"Can you do a slam dunk like this?!"
At this moment, Kiyota Nobunaga came to Budao and Sakuragi and suddenly asked.
"What?! What do you mean, you bastard?! Of course Brother Martial Arts can do it easily!"
"What are you thinking? Bastard!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi was still upset at first, but when he suddenly heard Kiyota Nobunaga say this, his anger suddenly rose again. Even if he is an idiot, he still knows what Kiyota Nobunaga means.
"Boy...are you going to challenge me?"
Jinguji Martial Arts also turned his attention to Kiyota Nobunaga. Martial Arts, who was nearly two meters tall, lowered his head and looked at Kiyota Nobunaga condescendingly.
A terrifying sense of oppression enveloped Kiyota Nobunaga, and the sun's rays were blocked by the martial figure.
Nobunaga Kiyota swallowed quietly, mustered up his courage, and nodded heavily.
His grandfather has always taught him that in basketball, there are only strong and weak players, not seniors and juniors.
Kiyota Nobunaga has watched martial arts competitions and knows that martial arts bounce is quite good, but the technical characteristics displayed in martial arts competitions basically revolve around shooting. Slam dunking is not necessarily what martial arts is good at.
He Qingtian is going to defeat the enemy today! Establish your future position at Shohoku High School!
