The Lingnan team's intra-team challenge is not very intense. Although these freshmen are excellent, they cannot be the opponents of the old students and have no chance of winning.
To take a step back, even if Uozumi, Naito, and Sendō don't play, the freshman team still has no hope of winning.
In addition to the gap in the lineup, there are also gaps in coordination and experience, especially the freshmen who are still a mess.
In order to test the strength of the freshmen, Coach Tianoka sent out a full substitute lineup with a wave of his hand. They were Guanping, Fukuda, Cross Country, Uekusa and Ebina Ka.
When the game started, the old students easily suppressed the freshmen team.
Of course, the freshman team is not without merit. Nango, Oda and Katsumi Ichiro all performed brilliantly.
Among them, Nanxiang’s performance was the best.
There is no way, the inside combination of Guan Ping + Futian can hardly limit Nanxiang's performance.
Katsumi Ichiro's performance is not bad either. His height of 185 centimeters gives him a clear advantage. His hand feels as smooth as silk and his hit rate is quite impressive.
Even if placed in SD, Katsumi Ichiro can still occupy a place among the marksmen, second only to Mitsui and Agami.
In addition, Katsumi Ichiro's physical fitness is excellent, not much inferior to Ikegami. If he is well developed, he has the opportunity to become a top 3D player like Ikegami.
This year is also Ikegami's last year, and Katsumi Ichiro can take over from him.
As for Oda Ryumasa, he and Fukuda fought vigorously and did not fall into a big disadvantage.
There was no way, Fukuda focused too much on offense and was not very enthusiastic about defense, so Oda took advantage of it.
However, even if these three freshmen performed outstandingly, there was still no suspense in this intra-team match.
Unlike the Lingnan team, the intra-team competition in Xiangbei was extremely 'intense'.
By the way, before the Shohoku team competition, for some unknown reason, Takenori Akagi and Hanamichi Sakuragi had a quarrel, and that one-on-one duel inevitably happened.
The difference is that Sakuragi's strength exceeded Akagi's expectations, but Akagi still took advantage of Sakuragi's small attack range to limit his performance.
Seeing that there was no goal scored, and Akagi often pressed him to score, Sakuragi became anxious.
During a defense, Sakuragi accidentally slipped. In full view of everyone, Akagi inevitably took off his pants, exposing his white buttocks, which made people laugh.
】
This is also Akagi’s most embarrassing moment!
When Sakuragi found out that Akagi was Haruko's brother, he, like everyone else, was in disbelief.
One is a tall, dark, middle-aged man who looks like a gorilla; the other is a petite, frail, fair-skinned and beautiful girl. The two of them don't look like brothers and sisters, they are simply genetic mutations.
Of course, it's also possible that Akagi's father was wearing a hat, or that one of them was picked up.
Because he had his pants taken off in public, Akagi would naturally not be polite to Sakuragi during the intra-team competition in Shohoku.
On the other side, Rukawa Kaede looked at Mitsui with even more fighting intent.
The reason why he chose Xiangbei was more or less related to Mitsui.
In terms of personal strength, except for Zebei, the other outside players are at best the same as Mitsui.
Old student team: Akagi, Iwata Miaki, Mitsui, Kigure and Miyagi
Freshman team: Hanamichi Sakuragi, Kaede Rukawa, Satoshi Sasaoka, Kentaro Ishii and Toki Kuwata (few people remember the last three)
At the beginning of the game, Sakuragi relied on his amazing bounce to touch the basketball first and passed the ball to Kuwata Nobuki.
"This way!"
On the side, Rukawa Kaede raised his hand for the ball while running.
Kuwata Toki looked nervous. He didn't stick to the ball and hurriedly passed the ball to Rukawa Kaede.
The quality of this pass was not very good and it was almost intercepted by Miyagi.
Rukawa Kaede successfully got the basketball and broke through with the ball immediately.
Mitsui's defensive awareness is very good. He is also the best defensive player on the outside of the Shohoku team. He immediately moved laterally and blocked Rukawa Kaede's breakthrough direction.
Outside the three-point line, Rukawa Kaede changed direction, but still failed to complete the breakthrough. Mitsui was too difficult to deal with.
"Very strong!"
Rukawa Kaede was very emotional, but this further stimulated his desire to attack.
After all, he is the offensive ghost Rukawa Kaede. He can undoubtedly enter the top ten of SD in his first grade, not to mention that the current Rukawa Kaede is stronger than at the same time.
Suddenly, Rukawa Kaede pulled the basketball and dribbled the ball quickly from his hips.
Rukawa Kaede's action caused Mitsui's center of gravity to shift. Before Mitsui could return to normal, he immediately jumped up.
"Oops!"
Mitsui secretly had a bad idea and quickly jumped to interfere, but he was still a beat late.
Huh~
The basketball went hollow into the net, and Rukawa Kaede took the lead in scoring a three-pointer.
Rukawa Kaede glanced at Mitsui and turned back to defend.
"interesting!"
Mitsui raised the corner of his mouth and seemed to be in a good mood. Such strong newcomers are very rare. The key is that they are players from their Shohoku team. This means that this year's Shohoku team is likely to go further.
At this time, Akagi said angrily: "Mitsui, don't take it lightly!"
"Akagi, you should worry about yourself first."
While Mitsui was talking, he couldn't help but glance at Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was pulling Kuwata Nobuki.
"Wow, wow, wow, Sangtian, why didn't you pass the ball to me, but you passed it to that cunning fox!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes seemed to be on fire as he shook Kuwata Nobuki vigorously.
"Here, Sakuragi, I'll put it on for you in a minute."
Kuwata Toki was forced to compromise because Sakuragi's momentum was too strong.
"idiot!"
Rukawa Kaede, who hadn't gone far, naturally heard it. He spread his hands and sighed, looking very helpless.
Despite Rukawa Kaede's cold appearance, in fact, this guy is quite sinister, and he also likes to watch the excitement. For example, he was there to watch the one-on-one match between Sakuragi and Akagi.
In the Laosheng team's offense, Mitsui took the initiative to ask for the ball.
After getting the ball, Mitsui first pretended to break through, then took a step back and also shot a three-pointer.
Huh~
For Mitsui, hitting a three-pointer is as easy as eating and drinking.
In the next round, under the pressure of Sakuragi, Kuwata Nobuki had to pass the ball to Sakuragi.
Under Akagi's strong interference, Sakuragi had no choice but to force a dunk. As a result, the basketball first hit the front edge of the basket, and then hit Akagi's head.
Just like Naito in the original animation, Akagi's eyes widened and his entire face was distorted.
Peng ~
Akagi fell heavily to the ground, and it seemed that he had fallen hard.
For a moment, the whole place was silent.
Sakuragi looked at his right hand in disbelief. He had hit it with his right hand just now.
"elder brother!"
Until then, Haruko Akagi, who was watching the game on the sidelines, finally reacted. He hurriedly ran into the stadium, fearing that Akagi would have an accident.
This scene directly prompted the suspension of the intra-team competition.
Akagi was not injured, but had to leave the game because of dizziness.
"Asshole, if this happened during the Warring States Period, let's see if I don't kill you!"
Akagi cursed. He felt that he and Sakuragi were in conflict. On the first day, he was unlucky at the hands of Sakuragi twice in a row.
Although the game was still going on, due to Akagi leaving the field and Haruko's sad eyes, Sakuragi Hanamichi had no fighting spirit and was lost on the court.
This directly caused the intra-team competition to become a personal show for Kaede Rukawa and Hisashi Mitsui.
Neither of the two could do anything to the other, almost showing a tendency to explode with each other, but Mitsui still had a slight upper hand.
In the end, the old student team relied on a better lineup and cooperation to defeat the freshmen team and win the game.
