The next morning, Kyoto Central Gymnasium.
After the top sixteen were determined, all games were arranged in the two largest stadiums in Kyoto.
Among them, the third group match was held in the Central Gymnasium.
At this time, the Central Gymnasium was filled with noise and dust, and the sound was so loud that it seemed like the ceiling was being exposed.
Lingnan and Luoan have already entered the stadium and the game is about to begin.
Two players with an altitude of more than two meters stand in the center circle, preparing to execute a jump ball.
Uozumi stared at the center of Luoan High School, and he was quite impressed by the center named Takehiko Kuraki.
The reason is simple. Takehiko Kuraki is the one with the highest altitude among the players participating in this national competition.
Yes, he is taller than Uozumi, reaching an astonishing 206 centimeters.
The growth experiences of Takehiko Kuraki and Future Ohda are somewhat similar. In his first year of high school, he was less than 1.8 meters tall. After two years, he became 206 centimeters tall.
The only pity is that Takehiko Kuraki's frame is thin, coupled with his rapid growth and insufficient nutritional supplements, his weight is only 83 kilograms.
For such a height, it can be described as skinny.
In addition, he is also a 'tyrannosaurus rex'.
Judging from the data, his wingspan is two centimeters shorter than his height.
Finally, it was in his sophomore year that he was turned into a regular player in Luo An due to his sudden increase in height.
Although Takehiko Kuraki has such shortcomings, in addition to his height, he also has excellent shooting touch, and his attack range can even reach beyond the three-point line.
Thanks to his height and shooting touch, Takehiko Kuraki became the scoring leader in the Los Angeles team in just over a year.
Luo An was able to make the top 16, and it can be said that Takehiko Kuraki took the greatest credit.
All~
At this time, the referee threw the ball high.
In an instant, Uozumi and Kuraki Takehiko jumped up.
Takehiko Kuraki's jumping is not inferior to Uozumi. One of them has a height advantage and the other has a wingspan advantage, but the result is that they hit the basketball at the same time.
In mid-air, Takehiko Kuraki's expression suddenly changed. He felt a powerful force coming at him, and he almost lost his balance.
Taking advantage of his absolute strength advantage, Uozumi easily pulled the ball to Matsushita Asahi Ken.
When he landed, Takehiko Kuraki took two steps back in embarrassment and almost fell to the ground.
Seeing Uozumi rushing forward, Takehiko Kuraki hurriedly chased after him.
Soon, the fish were settling down low.
Matsushita Asahi Ken has been paying attention to Uozumi, and immediately hoisted the ball in after Uozumi was in position.
Yuzhu caught the ball with both hands and leaned back.
"Well!"
Takehiko Kuraki tried to hold Uozumi on his back, but it backfired. Under Uozumi's violent crushing, he couldn't stop retreating, and finally lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"The Sword Comes"
The difference in strength and weight between the two was too big. This was because Yuzhu had to hold back a little strength, otherwise he might be knocked away.
Yuzhu strode into the penalty area as if he was in no one's land. He jumped into the air and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands.
Bang~
A strong sound of exploding the basket sounded, and the entire basketball stand shook violently, and the basket was pulled and bent to a considerable extent, giving people a thrilling feeling.
For some people, this is a beauty called violence!
Uozumi let go of the basket, came to Takehiko Kuraki, and took the initiative to pull him up from the ground.
"Sorry, I didn't expect you to be so weak."
This was not trash talk. In fact, Uozumi had no idea that Takehiko Kuraki's confrontation would be so bad.
Takehiko Kuraki's face turned red, subconsciously thinking that Uozumi was humiliating him.
But he didn't say anything, ran to the baseline and started serving.
Yuzhu shook his head and turned back to defend.
Offense and defense transition!
As the leading scorer in the Luoan team, averaging 25+ per game, and Luoan players hope that Takehiko Kuraki will come back.
So Takehiko Kuraki received the basketball.
The Luoan players dispersed one after another, drawing away their opponents. It was obvious that they had full confidence in Takehiko Kuraki.
After receiving the basketball, Takehiko Kuraki faced the frame and attacked, trying to break through Uozumi head-on.
His basic skills are very solid, but they are not enough to break through Yuzhu.
In the process of defense, Uozumi took the initiative to impose confrontation.
Takehiko Kuraki's steps suddenly staggered, and his rhythm was instantly disrupted.
Uozumi took the opportunity to extend his right hand and cut towards the basketball.
Takehiko Kuraki hugged the basketball in time, but he also lost hope of a breakthrough.
This feels like Fujima and Maki Shinichi, except that the gap between Takehiko Kuraki and Uozumi is even greater.
In desperation, Takehiko Kuraki had to bite the bullet and just wanted to shoot against the fish.
During the shooting process, Takehiko Kuraki leaned back slightly, stretched his movements, and gently pushed the basketball out.
The moment he threw it out, Takehiko Kuraki thought to himself.
Pa~
However, what greeted Takehiko Kuraki was Uozumi's big hand, and he slapped the basketball with a volleyball hat.
Just when the basketball was about to fly to the center circle, the Luoan point guard grabbed the basketball first.
Like Matsushita Xujian, he is a small and fast point guard.
"Takehiko, come again!"
The Luoan point guard who did not deserve his name passed the ball to Takehiko Kuraki again.
This time, Takehiko Kuraki feinted a shot, and after thinking he had gained shooting space, he jumped again.
However, before he could reach the highest point, Uozumi had already appeared in front of him and slapped the ball away again.
Takehiko Kuraki staggered back two steps before regaining his footing.
He looked very surprised. It was just that Yuozhu didn't eat anything, and his flexibility was even better than he expected.
This time, Matsushita Xujian grabbed the basketball and immediately started a fast break.
The Luoan point guard struggled with Asahi Ken Matsushita, who immediately passed the ball to Yusaku Ozawa who was following him.
From outside the three-point line, Yu Ozawa faked a sudden shot. When the opponent player retreated, he immediately pulled up and shot.
Huh~
A three-pointer was made, and Lingnan scored another three points.
Luo An made a comeback again, and Takehiko Kuraki began to run and seek cover from his teammates.
Naturally, Uozumi did not dare to let Takehiko Kuraki go. If it was a center like Ikeda Kazuhiro, he would not even leave the paint area.
Takehiko Kuraki is different. His shooting range extends beyond the three-point line and has to be defended.
Taking advantage of the cover of his teammates, Takehiko Kuraki temporarily ran out of opportunities.
Without hesitation, the Luoan point guard handed the ball to Takehiko Cangaki again.
Takehiko Kuraki caught the ball and shot, but unfortunately, a huge figure suddenly appeared in front of him and knocked the ball away again.
This is naturally a place where fish live!
"How can it be!"
Takehiko Kuraki fell to the ground in a panic, staring at Uozumi who was looking down at him in horror.
He seemed to have escaped Yuzhu, but it turned out that this was a trap deliberately set by Yuzhu for him.
In the chaos, the basketball was stabbed by someone unknown and flew directly out of the baseline.
