A player like Sakuragi Hanamichi, when he really focuses on the game, can display terrifying combat power that no one can imagine.
Shoyo High School, whose average height exceeds 185cm, actually completely lost its air superiority due to Sakuragi Hanamichi's efforts.
In a game, if there is no air superiority, will there still be suspense? Maybe there will be a different answer in a few decades, but in today's high school basketball, there will be no second answer at all.
86:73. As Hanamichi Sakuragi picked off his 17th rebound of the game, the match between Shohoku High School and Shoyo High School completely lost its suspense.
In the end, Xiangbei won the game with a 13-point lead. Shohoku's players rushed into the court cheering after the game and surrounded Sakuragi Hanamichi and others who helped Shohoku win the victory.
"Sakuragi, your rebounding is really good!"
"Mr. Key! Sakuragi, you are really a genius." Amid the praise from his teammates, Sakuragi grinned and began to get carried away again.
After celebrating with his teammates for a while, Sakuragi seemed to have thought of something and raised his fist in the direction of Haruko.
Haruko saw Sakuragi's actions and waved her hands happily, feeling happy that Sakuragi helped the team win.
It was just this action of Haruko Akagi that made Takenori Akagi, who had originally planned to praise Sakuragi, become silent.
After snorting angrily, he sat back on the stool: "You bastard..."
"Not bad. In this case, we will go to the next city first!"
"The next ones we have to face are Lingnan High School and Hainan."
"With the strength of Sakuragi and his team, there shouldn't be any problem playing against Hainan. At present, it seems that we still have to focus on preparing for the game against Lingnan!" Hisashi Mitsui did not run into the court to join the cheers of his teammates, but Sitting next to Jinguji Budo, he began to think about how they would play in the next game in Shohoku.
"There won't be any problems in attacking Hainan..."
"This... is not necessarily the case." Wu Dao looked at the players' tunnel on the sidelines, where the Hainan players were walking into the stadium along the players' tunnel, preparing for the next game between Hainan and Lingnan High School.
At the forefront of Hainan is the team's head coach, Coach Gao Tou. Following the coach was a tall, handsome man whose height was estimated to be two meters.
When Wu Dao saw this player from the Hainan team, he shrank slightly and couldn't help but murmured: "How come this guy appears in the Hainan team?!"
"No. 15...was it hired by Coach Gaotou?!" Mitsui Hisashi also noticed something strange about martial arts at this moment. He followed the gaze of Jinguji martial arts and saw the same figure wearing the No. 15 jersey. , Shigehiro Mori entered the stage with the team!
At the same time, the players from Lingnan High School also walked into the court along the player tunnel on the other side. Shinomiya Tano, Sendō and others followed coach Tianoka and walked into the court.
The presence of Mori Shigehiro also seemed to attract the attention of everyone in Lingnan High School, and they all looked sideways at the No. 15 in Hainan.
"Who is that?!"
"I've never seen him in Hainan's team before! Is he a first-year student?!"
"The new students with this kind of figure...Hainan's strength this year is probably much stronger than before!" Mitsui Hisashi also noticed that Mori Shigehiro was unusual. His height of more than two meters and his burly figure gave him a The visual impact on people is quite large.
Morishigehiro has a very unusual figure
"High school", according to Hisashi Mitsui, Hainan's No. 15 is even half a circle bigger than Akagi, and that half circle is not puffy, but solid muscles.
"Lingnan is in trouble, hehe! Some of you are in for a good show!"
"Let's go to the stands." After Jinguji Budo carefully looked at Morishigehiro, he suddenly laughed, grabbed his unopened backpack, patted Mitsui Hisashi on the back, and said happily.
The rest area on the Xiangbei side will be used in Hainan next. When Coach Anxi saw Hainan's Coach Gao Tou, he smiled and greeted him while waiting for the team members to pack their things.
While chatting and waiting with Coach Gaotou, Coach Anzai looked at Shigehiro Mori from time to time.
I am quite curious about the new faces in this Hainan team. Coach Gaotou was obviously aware of Coach Anzai's interest in Mori Shigehiro, but he had no intention of introducing this new player to Coach Anzai. He continued to talk with each other, but his eyes looked to the other side to rest from time to time. District coach Taoka.
The urgency in his eyes was not concealed at all. Coach Anxi obviously noticed that Coach Gaotou seemed to have no interest in chatting with him. After the players packed their things, he immediately left and led the players through the player tunnel to the stands.
Not long after everyone from Xiangbei High School left the court, the Xiangyang players also packed up their things and vacated the rest area.
The cleaning staff of the conference quickly cleaned the floor, and the players of Lingnan High School and Hainan team changed their jerseys and shoes in their respective rest areas to prepare for the game.
But before the game started, the coaches of the two teams walked to the podium in unison, and after briefly greeting the referee, the two coaches suddenly looked at each other in silence.
Lightning exploded in the sight of the two coaches.
"Ah!"
"Huh!" They each snorted coldly, and the two turned back to their rest area.
"Tian Tian, Xiandao, in today's game, you two don't want to stay even a little bit, give me a fierce attack!"
"That guy at the top is still not convinced. Today, I must convince him!" Coach Taoka, who returned to the rest area, immediately approached Shinomiya Tōdō and Sendō Akira, standing shoulder to shoulder with them, and gave them advice.
"Uh... Coach, we didn't want to hold back at first."
"Don't worry, we will try our best~" Xiandao had just changed his shoes and looked at the serious-looking coach Tian Gang and replied in a relaxed tone.
However, his tone directly made Coach Tianoka frown.
"Asshole!"
"Be serious!"
"You must play well for me in today's game!"
"Hanagata, Fujima, Uozumi, you three are the same, you must take it seriously!"
"I can feel that this Hainan team is different now!" As coach Tian Gang spoke, he turned to look at Hainan's rest area with a serious expression.
He would say such things to his players, not just because he has a competitive relationship with Coach Gao Tou.
When the experienced coach Tian Gang saw the current Hainan team, he immediately realized that they were difficult to deal with!
Because of this, Coach Taoka said these words to Shinomiya Tanano and others.
"Coach...relax."
"No one can beat us, Lingnan High School!" Unlike Coach Tamoka's nervousness and seriousness, Shinomiya Tano, like Sendao, seemed very relaxed.
After saying this, Shinomiya Tightened his shoelaces, then stood up from his seat, glanced at Hainan's rest area, clapped his hands, and said to his teammates: "Come on, tell the coach that someone can beat us Lingnan ?!" Under the guidance of Shinomiya Tanano, the team members of Lingnan High School roared in unison
"No", the exuberant thing made Coach Tian Gang look slightly startled, then shook his head and laughed.
"Yes....Why am I nervous?"
"With this kid here, the one who should be nervous should be Hainan." Coach Tian Gang sighed inwardly and nodded to the players with a smile.
An An sat down on the seat with peace of mind. At this time, stadium cleaning finally mopped the floor.
After changing their equipment, the Lingnan players, led by Shinomiya Tano, walked onto the court and began to warm up.
"oooohhhhhh"
"Lingnan! Lingnan! Lingnan!" As the players from Lingnan High School walked into the stadium, amazing cheers suddenly erupted from the stands.
The Lingnan cheerleaders in the front row were shaking their heads.
The banner of "Be brave and brave" shouted at the top of one's voice. Shortly after Lingnan High School entered the stadium to warm up, the players from Hainan High School also entered the court one after another and began to warm up.
"Bang!" However, not long after the Hainan players entered the stadium, there was a loud noise during the half of Hainan's warm-up, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.
During the warm-up period, Morishigehiro took the ball into the basket and dunked with both hands. The slam dunk was so powerful that the entire basketball stand creaked, and the sound of the dunk attracted the attention of the audience.
"hiss!!"
"What an amazing...what an amazing dunk!" Some spectators who watched Mori Shigehiro's dunk exclaimed.
Jinguji Budo on the stand also turned his attention to the field at this time, watching Morishigehiro, touching his chin, showing an interested expression.
The Lingnan players on the court were also attracted by the movement in the opposite half. Sendao looked at Morishigehiro, who was hanging on the basket with one arm, as if he saw a chimpanzee hanging on a branch. After being serious for two seconds, a smile appeared on his face.
Shinomiya Tano only took a quick glance and then withdrew his gaze, not paying attention to Mori Shigehiro's dunk.
Indeed, in the high school basketball world, there are not many players who can perform two-handed dunks. For many people, at most they are exempt from deductions.
But that's only for the average high school team. For example, in Lingnan High School, the number of people who can dunk can be counted on one hand.
He can easily do a two-handed dunk of this level, so it's not surprising. However, the audience watching the game today had different thoughts than Shinomiya. Most people's first thought when they saw a high school student being able to dunk with both hands was that of shock.
"Let's show off our power..."
"The slam dunk is indeed good, but I found the wrong target!" Jinguji Budo looked at Mori Shigehiro for a long time, and finally withdrew his gaze and murmured with a smile.
Sure enough, as soon as Jinguji Martial Arts finished speaking, Lingnan High School changed its previous simple and unpretentious warm-up style and started to play tricks.
Sendō, Uozumi, and Hanagata performed dunks one after another, and Fujima and Yoshiaki Fukuda even teamed up to stage an alley-oop.
Suddenly, the audience's eyes were attracted to Ling Nan. Although Hainan felt the competitive intentions of the Lingnan players, they had no real intention to compete with Lingnan and the others.
Sen Chongkuan's two-handed dunk just now was just for warm-up needs, but Hainan didn't expect that Lingnan suddenly had a stress reaction.
After Lingnan performed a few times and saw that Hainan didn't respond, he stopped and started to warm up in a proper manner.
But at this time, the stadium began to be filled with a strong smell of gunpowder smoke.
"Beep!" Soon, after a sharp whistle from the referee, the warm-up came to an end. After the two teams made the final adjustments, players from both sides began to enter the stadium.
"Ohhh, so tall! The centers in Lingnan and Hainan are both so tall!"
"Hainan looks so strong this year! It's not weaker than Lingnan!" As the players from both sides took their positions in the center circle, the audience's cheers turned into rustling discussions, and the focus of the discussion was exactly who was standing on the center line at this time At both ends, Uozumi and Morishigehiro were preparing to jump the ball.
The five players who debuted at Hainan High School are center Shigehiro Mori, power forward Kazuma Takasago, small forward Kamizou Ichiro, and point guard Mu Shinichi. The point guard position is a No. 8 that Budo has never seen before. I heard the Hainan team members call him Xiao Guan.
On the other hand, Ryonan High School has an all-star lineup, with Jun Uozumi at the center, Toru Hanagata at the power forward, Shinomiya Tanō at the small forward, Sendō at the point position, and Kenji Fujima at the point guard.
The two teams took up positions in the center circle, and it can be clearly felt that the momentum of Hainan's players is weaker.
"Beep!" After a long whistle, the referee threw the ball high into the air. Immediately afterwards, two sturdy men stood up from the ground in an instant and reached out to move towards the basketball.
"Pop!" There was a soft sound. Morishigehiro actually reached the highest point before Uozumi. He hit the basketball first, ran towards his team's backcourt, and accurately sent the ball into Mu Shenyi's arms. .
"What?!" The failure of the jump ball made Yuzhu's face freeze, and he quickly returned to the field to defend with his teammates.
"Uozumi-senpai's jump ball... actually lost?! Lost to that first grader?!" Coach Taoka also looked surprised at Uozumi's failure in the jump ball, and Aida Hikoichi behind him even screamed in surprise Screaming, dumbfounded.
However, the Lingnan players on the field did not think too much about the jump ball and quickly returned to defense and completed their position in their own half.
Lingnan High School played a standard man-to-man tactic. As Hainan's Mu Shenyi entered the frontcourt with the ball, Shinomiya stopped Kenji Fujima who was about to step forward to defend and walked towards Mu Shenyi.
At the same time, he pointed to Hainan's No. 8 and motioned Fujima to defend that player. After receiving Shinomiya Tōno's signal, Fujima didn't waste any time, gave up his position, and left quickly.
And Sigong Tianye quickly took his place in front of Mu Shenyi, spread out his arms, and raised his fingers towards Mu Shenyi.
"Amu, come and attack!"
"Let me see if you have made any progress!" Shinomiya's arrogant attitude immediately attracted a burst of cheers from the audience.
Lingnan's cheerleaders banged the empty bottles vigorously and made loud noises to cheer for the team members. Mu Shen was not annoyed when he heard this. He glanced at Takasago Ikma who came to pick and roll, and quickly dropped the ball to break through.
"Peng!" However, Kazuma Takasago's pick and roll seemed to be noticed by Shinomiya Tano. Facing Takasago's pick-and-roll, Shinomiya Nodō actually had no idea of evading it. He pretended that he didn't see it and turned around to follow Mu Shenyi's breakthrough.
His body directly hit Kazuma Takasago's body hard. Takasago didn't seem to expect that Shinomiya Tano would directly push forward. Moreover, the terrifying force caused Takasago to stumble and take a step back, which directly affected Mu Shenyi's breakthrough rhythm.
"That's it...you want to pick and roll me too?!" Shinomiya Tano directly squeezed out Takasago Kazuma's pick and roll, quickly stuck to Mu Shenyi's side, raised his hand high, and blocked Mu Shenyi's shooting path.
As soon as Mu Shen knew that it would be difficult for him to get rid of Shinomiya's defense, he also knew the strength of Shinomiya. He stopped suddenly, looked up at the basket, and the basketball in his hand quickly hit the ground and passed to the inside.
"Bang!" There was a soft sound, and the basketball was firmly grasped by Mori Shigehiro, who was in the inside position. Morishigehiro, who was holding the ball, dropped the ball with both hands and hit Jun Uozumi hard with his body. After a back hit, he actually lifted the ball directly, grabbed the ball and drove towards the basket.
Although Uozumi had certain expectations for Mori Shigehiro's strength, he did not expect that Hainan's No. 15 was so terrifying. When he was hit by the opponent's back, Uozumi was out of position, freeing up the position under the basket.
At this moment, he could only raise his head and watch Shigehiro Mori perform a two-handed dunk in front of him.
"Bang!"........................
