"Let these high school students know how powerful our Emperor Guang is!"
Emotions completely exploded at this moment. Aomine Daiki shouted excitedly and quickly ran towards the frontcourt. And his words made Di Guang, who already had a strong fighting spirit, become even more daring to fight.
After Akashi dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, he still tried to break through the defense of Kiyota Nobunaga. The defeat just now was forgotten by him. Facing Kiyota Nobunaga again, Akashi had no intention of admitting defeat.
Akashi continuously dribbled the ball with his hips. Seeing that Kiyota did not reveal any obvious gaps, he immediately dug forward. However, Kiyota Nobunaga had just followed two steps, but Akashi quickly changed his direction and passed through Kiyota Nobunaga's path in an instant. Defense, breakthrough speed, dribbling rhythm, three points faster than just now.
"This kid is faster than before!"
Kiyota Nobunaga was passed by Akashi, with a slightly surprised look on his face. At the same time, he turned around and quickly chased after him.
Akashi originally thought that he would be able to break through Kiyota Nobunaga's defense this time, but the rapid footsteps coming from behind him told him that he had not completely gotten rid of the opponent's defense at all.
Nanxiang, who was occupying the inside line, just looked at Akashi who was charging inward, with no intention of approaching him to defend.
What can a player who is not even 160cm do when he enters the paint? In front of a 192cm center like him, even if the opponent uses a throw, he can still cover him!
In front is the tall center from Shohoku High School, and behind is the chasing team with terrifying bounce.
Akashi knew that he had no chance to score. He quickly looked at Midorima in the left corner, but in his hand, he passed the ball directly to Aomine Daiki who was cutting in the air on the right.
"Um?!"
Kiyota Nobunaga, who noticed Akashi's gaze, was successfully feinted by Akashi, and the basketball was successfully released, and was given to Aomine Daiki.
As soon as Aomine Daiki, who had reached the middle distance, took the ball, Sakuragi Hanamichi's pursuing figure was already in front of him, and a big hand directly covered Aomine Daiki's sight.
"Sa! Little devil, attack here!"
Sakuragi looked at the boy holding the ball in front of him and grinned. When Qingfeng heard this, he was not annoyed at all and had a bright smile on his face.
Dropped the ball and took two steps back while holding the ball.
Aomine pulled away slightly and looked directly at the basket.
"Do you want to shoot?" Sakuragi saw this and immediately took a step forward. Aomine Daiki took two steps back, and Sakuragi Hanamichi just took one step and came directly in front of Aomine Daiki.
"Ha! Breakthrough!" While Sakuragi raised his steps to follow up, Aomine Daiki quickly started to dig up his steps, hoping to seize the moment when Sakuragi Hanamichi raised his center of gravity to follow up and complete the breakthrough.
But what Aomine didn't expect was that Sakuragi Hanamichi, who clearly had a high center of gravity, suddenly dropped his center of gravity the moment he started to speed up. He slid into position early and blocked his way, as if to Aomine. Dahui's breakthrough was as expected.
Unable to dodge, Aomine directly hit Sakuragi's side. The huge rebound force caused Aomine to stumble, and he took a step back before regaining his balance.
"The intention of breaking through is too obvious and the speed is too slow. Let alone the martial arts brother, even that stinky fox can't compare."
"After all, is it just a junior high school student's level?"
Sakuragi didn't even want to catch Aomine's weakness and steal it. After stopping Aomine Daiki, he looked arrogant.
Don't look at Sakuragi Hanamichi who plays tricks every day and looks like an idiot. But deep down, this guy is even more arrogant than Rukawa Kaede. A guy who can talk about genius, the word humility has nothing to do with him.
"Did he predict it?"
There were only 10 seconds left in the attack time. Aomine Daiki was really preparing to break through, but suddenly he found that Kuroko had moved to the free throw line at some point, and there was no one to defend him.
Without any hesitation, Aomine Daiki passed the ball directly, and then quickly moved inside.
Sakuragi Hanamichi followed Aomine's pass and saw Kuroko Tetsuya who was wide open. He was stunned immediately, and the next second he rushed directly towards Kuroko, and at the same time cursed angrily:
"Asshole, you missed someone!"
Sakuragi's shout drew Katsumi Ichiro's attention back. Originally, he was still watching the matchup between Aomine Daiki and Sakuragi, thinking that if Sakuragi was broken through, he could go over to make up for the defense in time.
But he didn't expect that the sunspot he was guarding had already gotten into that position, and he hadn't noticed it yet.
Katsumi Ichiro really took this young boy who was less than 160cm tall and weak in stature lightly.
“Peng!
"
The basketball flew towards Kuroko. Just as Sakuragi's defense was about to arrive, Kuroko raised his hand and slapped the basketball hard, directly changing the angle of the basketball and sending the ball flying towards him towards Aomine who was cutting in the air. Fly away.
There was a muffled sound, and the basketball flew directly past Sakuragi.
"Squeak!" The running Sakuragi Hanamichi suddenly stopped, his sneakers rubbed fiercely against the floor, and his running figure paused at this moment, turned around, and flew directly towards Aomine.
Sakuragi did not pause for a moment in the rapid transition between movement and stillness, and his movements were smooth. At the moment of transition from stillness to movement, his running speed reached its peak. His terrifying explosive power and excellent athletic talent were undoubtedly revealed at this moment.
"Nice pass, Kuroko!"
The basketball was taken over again, and Qingfeng, who was in the open position, let out an excited shout, raised his hand and threw the ball.
"Hmph!" However, not long after the basketball had risen, a cold snort sounded from Qingfeng's ears, and at the same time, a red figure quickly jumped out from his side.
In Qingfeng's hole, the basket and the flying basketball have disappeared, replaced by a leaping red figure.
"Good...so high!"
"How can this be?!"
Qingfeng looked at the figure in front of him and couldn't help but whisper to himself.
“Peng!
"
As for the basketball, it was slapped away by the person coming and hit the outside of the court.
"Hey Hey!"
"Do you think you can break through me like this? Junior high school student!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi, who fell back to the ground, chuckled twice, turned his head slightly, and looked at Aomine Daiki, who had a dull look on his face.
"Oh!
Super hot pot! "
"This guy Sakuragi's jumping and leg strength are really terrifying!"
"Poor junior high school student!"
On the side of the court, as Sakuragi sent a big shot, the players in Shohoku let out strange screams. In the team practice matches of Shohoku High School, Sakuragi actually didn't have many such high-profile performances. Of course, the main problem was that he was usually responsible for facing off against Jinguji Martial Arts.
As for Rukawa Kaede, he plays against Mitsui Hisashi most of the time.
When facing off against Jinguji Budo, Sakuragi Hanamichi couldn't fight so freely.
"Hey~ Sakuragi is really at home playing in junior high school competitions!"
Mitsui Hisashi looked at Sakuragi in the field and couldn't help but smile. In his eyes, Sakuragi Hanamichi is a talented rookie. I just didn't expect that this little rookie would become a giant in the junior high school level.
"Of course..."
"After all, the age gap is here. Sakuragi has reached the developmental stage, and his physical talents have begun to be fully revealed."
"He has received relatively systematic training in Xiangbei since the third grade of junior high school, and his opponents in the competition are also national-level masters."
"There is no shortage of physical condition and defensive experience. Isn't it easy to catch a junior high school student who doesn't have a long shot?"
Martial Arts was not surprised by Sakuragi's performance. Compared to Sakuragi, he was more surprised that the strength of these junior high school students was not as strong as he imagined.
But it is normal. After all, they are just junior high school students. It is really hard to tell what level they can grow to in a few years. Teenagers of this age are completely at two levels before and after development, and even far beyond. Two levels.
"It's just that I was a little surprised by Sakuragi's performance. This guy is not always reliable."
However, as soon as Mitsui Hisashi said these words, there was a change in the stadium.
Teikou Middle School served the ball from the baseline. After several passes, the basketball came into Midorima's hands. Seeing that the attack time was about to pass, Midorima made a hasty shot against Katsumi Ichiro's defensive pressure, and the basketball crashed out of the basket.
I don’t know if Sakuragi Hanamichi was too excited. When the rebound fell, this guy was far away and started rushing for the rebound. He directly competed with Nango Koichiro, who was occupying a favorable position under the basket, and the rebound he had secured was dropped aside by the competition between the two players on the same team.
The quick-eyed Murasakihara Atsushi picked him up.
"Dyeing Monkey! Why are you robbing this genius of a rebound?!"
"Asshole! Idiot! Red-haired monkey, if you don't come in, this rebound will definitely be mine!
"
However, Sakuragi and Nango both ignored Murasakibara Atsushi who was holding the ball under the basket. Instead, they blamed each other without even looking at Murasakibara.
"Are all people in Xiangbei...all such idiots?"
Seeing Sakuragi suddenly quarreling with Nango, Murasakihara looked confused and tilted his head in confusion. Until they lifted the ball, Sakuragi and Nanxiang didn't see any reaction. They couldn't help but murmured and threw the ball into the net.
Until Teikou and the others started to return to defense, Sakuragi and Nanxiang were still arguing and had no intention of returning to the game.
"Two idiots!"
"Just focus on the game!
! "
It wasn't until Takenori Akagi, who was also watching the game on the sidelines, couldn't stand it anymore and shouted loudly that the two men glanced at Akagi angrily, spat at each other with disdain, and then ran towards the frontcourt.
"Hey! You two, serve me!
! "
Kiyota Nobunaga looked at Sakuragi and Nango who were leaving and couldn't help shouting. However, the reply he received was that the two of them shouted "Get away, wild monkey!" in unison.
"Wha...what!"
"Two bastards!"
The grumpy Kiyota was immediately ready to "talk" with Sakuragi and Nango, but was stopped by Oda Ryuumasa who came over.
Oda Ryumasa hurried to the baseline to serve, and at the same time comforted Kiyota Nobunaga with some kind words.
He is different from people like Sakuragi. They can not care about winning or losing the game, but he can't! He also hopes to perform well in the game and impress Coach Anxi.
It's a trivial matter for Sakuragi and Nango to show off, but if Kiyota Nobunaga also picks up, he won't be able to perform.
"Don't be angry, Qingtian."
"There's no need to be familiar with them."
"Those two guys probably don't want to compete anymore, just pass the ball to me more!"
After all, Oda Ryumasa still had some small thoughts of his own, but for the angry Kiyota Nobunaga, this request was not unacceptable.
After all, it was just a practice match with junior high school students.
Shohoku High School's offense began to show a clear bias. Most of the time, Kiyota Nobunaga on the offensive end would choose to dribble the ball by himself, and after the breakthrough, he would also choose to go to the basket for a layup.
However, Kiyota Nobunaga still underestimated Teiko Middle School's insider, Murasakihara Atsushi.
Murasakibara's several cover-ups caused great interference to Kiyota Nobunaga's layup, and he missed several shots. It's just that Nango Koichiro is still pretty good. After all, the advantage of age lies here. In terms of strength, he is much stronger than Murasakihara, and he has guarded offensive rebounds many times.
Moreover, Sakuragi has calmed down and did not blindly rush for rebounds and beat his teammates. Taking advantage of the offensive rebounds, Xiangbei's offensive was not interrupted.
In addition to his own solo attack, Kiyota Nobunaga would often pass the ball to Oda Ryumasa. In his sight, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Nango Koichiro were no longer there.
Oda Ryumasa's personal ability is actually quite good, and his mid-range shooting accuracy is also good. Oda Ryumasa's dribbling is also quite skillful. Midorima's physical condition is not as good as his opposite. The disadvantages were all evident, as he watched Ryumasa Oda shoot the ball many times.
Compared with Oda Ryumasa and Kiyota Nobunaga, who have more ball rights, Katsumi Ichiro, who has the most obvious matchup advantage on the Shohoku side, can hardly get the ball. However, Katsumi Ichiro does not seem to have the idea of participating in the offense, just as he follows The two teams switched offense and defense and ran back and forth.
Even Kuroko's defense has slackened. After several rounds of offense and defense, Katsumi Ichiro has already seen through Kuroko's background. This short man does not have the ability to attack alone and can only act as a passer. .
Realizing this, Katsumi Ichiro completely let go of Kuroko.
A role that can only pass the ball does not deserve to be taken seriously.
Maybe Heizi's passing is indeed very tricky and can connect the players very well, but what's the use?
For Shohoku, just keep an eye on those few players who can finish. No matter how tricky your movements are and how clever your passes are, the basketball will eventually fall into the hands of Aomine and others, right?
After Katsumi Ichiro let go of Kuroko, he even double-teamed Teiko's ball handlers, making several other Teiko players who were already struggling in singles even worse and made frequent mistakes.
Xiangbei's defensive method put great pressure on the junior high school students. As the game progressed, the point difference between the two teams began to slowly widen.
"Tetsuya Kuroko...Does a character who can only pass the ball really have the capital to stand on the court?"
"In the sport of basketball, passing cannot exist independently."
"To make passing a threat, you must have enough individual offensive capabilities, breakthroughs, and shooting. The ball holder must be able to attract the defense, so that the rest of the players can run out of space."
"Only under such circumstances will passing the ball become a threat."
"A player of average height, average speed, strength, shooting, and ball-handling skills...or even inferior to average players. How can he help his teammates catch the opponent's weaknesses just by relying on excellent passing?"
"At 5-on-4, the defensive pressure will just crush his teammates."
The martial artist on the sidelines looked at Kuroko Tetsuya and couldn't help but sigh.
Teiko Middle School’s “Fantasy Sixth Man”? It's a bit ridiculous. In fact, he has no way to gain a foothold on the court.
Use the pass to help teammates break down the defense?
Don't be ridiculous, Kuroko can't even attract the defense of the Xiangbei players. Even if you let you take the ball to the inside, what will happen? As long as everyone else is blocked in 5-on-4, even if Kuroko's pass can make a splash, it's useless.
As the game progressed, the point difference between the two teams became wider and wider. Teikou's most offensive threat, Aomine Daiki, was completely blocked by Sakuragi Hanamichi. The rest of them occasionally took shots, but under high-intensity defense, their shooting percentages were really average.
There is no way to make up for the gap inside. The rebounds can be said to be one-sided. The situation is completely under Xiangbei's control.
Teiko himself was not aware of Kuroko's problem at all. Supervisor Sanada simply thought that the individual abilities of Shohoku's team members were too strong, which prevented Kuroko's role from being fully realized.
The huge score difference did not discourage Diguang's players. They organized attacks again and again. Even if the score became more and more disparate, Qingfeng's face was still filled with smiles and his fighting spirit became stronger.
Sakuragi and others finally put away their contempt in the second half. Sakuragi and the others admired the opponent's spirit.
In the end, the two teams only played a 20-minute half before the game ended. Sakuragi led the team to win with an absolute advantage of 63:22.
