For a moment, the gymnasium was silent, and many people were looking at Sakuragi Hanamichi worriedly.
Among them, Sakuragi Legion and Haruko are the most popular.
Suddenly, Sakuragi's fingers moved, and then the whole person jumped up from the ground.
His eyes were full of anger, and he was about to point at Yuzhu and yell, but he stopped quickly.
If it were anyone else, Sakuragi would definitely not give him face.
Only Uozumi is different. He helped Sakuragi fight and was his father's savior.
After a moment of silence, Sakuragi pretended to be vicious and said to Uozumi: "Next time, I will definitely not lose!"
"Come on~, you have to guard against me!"
When Uozumi said this, he felt like an evil devil.
Soon, the Xiangbei team began to attack.
Miyagi held the ball and came outside the three-point line and began to observe the situation on the court.
What made him frown was that the Lingnan team's defense was too oppressive, and his teammates had no chance for the time being. He could only say that it was Lingnan as expected.
Immortal Dao did not press Miyagi, and seemed to stand leisurely two steps away from Miyagi.
In this case, Miyagi immediately passed the ball to Mitsui.
Immediately, the Xiangbei players pulled apart and took away their opponents.
Mitsui's opponent is naturally Ikegami. The two are old rivals and are very familiar with each other's characteristics and skills.
Under Ikegami's defense, Mitsui felt strong pressure.
"This guy Ikegami's defense is better than in the friendly match!"
Mitsui was not without emotion, but Ikegami was making progress, and he also did not stop moving forward.
The offense finally took the initiative. In two or three breaths, Ikegami's center of gravity was finally shaken, and Mitsui took the opportunity to complete the breakthrough with the ball.
However, as soon as he broke through the pond, a huge figure rushed over, it was Uozumi.
Mitsui had no idea of challenging Uozumi. He knew very well that as long as Uozumi blocked him even slightly, Ikegami and Uozumi would encircle him behind him, and things would not be good then.
Without hesitation, Mitsui immediately passed the ball to Akagi who was in the open position.
Pa~
Suddenly, Nanxiang rushed over from the side. He stretched out his right hand and successfully completed the steal.
At the first opportunity, Lingnan players immediately launched a fast break.
Nanxiang passed the ball to Sendao and quickly ran towards the frontcourt.
The Shohoku team's return to defense was also very fast, especially Miyagi, Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede.
However, Akagi was holding back.
Akagi's speed is not slow, but that depends on who he is compared to.
In the blink of an eye, Uozumi received Sendō's pass. At this time, he had already increased his speed to the limit.
In the lightning speed, Yuzhu rushed straight to the basket.
Sakuragi immediately abandoned Naito and rushed towards Uozumi. He seemed to have no idea what fear was.
Just as Uozumi rushed into the penalty area, suddenly, Uozumi threw the ball into the air.
Sakuragi subconsciously thought that Uozumi was shooting, and wanted to fight for the basketball. As a result, a huge shadow rushed over from behind. He jumped up high, grabbed the basketball, and dunked the ball into the basket through Sakuragi. basket.
Dunk from behind! !
Bang~
Under Naito's powerful impact, Sakuragi flew out of the baseline again and fell to the floor in embarrassment.
How cruel!
Many viewers exclaimed, and many women even cast pity on Sakuragi.
Almost exactly the same as last time, Sakuragi jumped up from the ground again with great vigor.
Looking at Naito with a bald head, Sakuragi was furious. He really wanted to hit Naito's bald head with a headbutt or a slam dunk.
"Damn bald man, he thinks that shaving his head will make him great!"
Sakuragi muttered to Naito that Naito was not Uozumi, and Sakuragi scolded him for not having any psychological burden.
Naito showed a ferocious smile. He ignored Sakuragi and turned back to defend.
In this year's friendly match with Shohoku, Naito has already roughly understood Sakuragi's nature. For a person like Sakuragi, the more you deal with him, the more energetic he becomes. The best way is to give him a cold treatment like Rukawa Kaede.
"Sakura, shut up!"
The sound of a red wooden urn sounded.
"Gorilla, it's not all because you ran too slow, otherwise I wouldn't have been knocked away. Remember to run faster next time, I don't want to wipe your butt anymore."
Sakuragi put his hands on his waist. If Akagi hadn't been left behind, he wouldn't have had to run to guard against the fish.
Akagi fell into silence and had no words to reply.
It's not that he doesn't want to run faster, it's just that he can only run so fast.
He tried his best, but in terms of sports, he couldn't keep up with Yuzhu.
Soon, Xiangbei made a comeback.
The Lingnan players once again showed a strong sense of oppression on the defensive end, and the pressing Xiangbei players found it difficult to find opportunities.
Soon, twenty seconds passed, and the Xiangbei players never found a chance to take action.
As a last resort, Miyagi passed the ball to Rukawa Kaede.
Among the Shobei Five Tigers, Rukawa Kaede's opponent can be said to be the weakest.
Nango's physical fitness is outstanding, but after all, he is only a first-year player. Among the many first-year players in Kanagawa Prefecture, Rukawa Kaede is the well-deserved No. 1 player.
The ghost of attack is not just talk!
Sure enough, Rukawa Kaede passed Nanxiang in twos and twos, holding the ball and trying to hit the basket.
However, at this moment, Yuzhu rushed over.
Rukawa Kaede did not choose to pass the ball, but continued to rush to the basket. The moment he entered the penalty area, he jumped high, as if he wanted to dunk the fish.
Uozumi stretched out his hands, trying to stop him.
In mid-air, Rukawa Kaede pulled the bar, trying to avoid Yuzhu's defense and make a layup.
Pa~
Unfortunately, what awaited him was Uozumi's inhumane block.
The basketball flew directly out of the baseline. The moment it landed, Rukawa Kaede staggered two steps before he regained his footing.
He couldn't help but glance at Yuzhu, his eyes full of surprise and fear.
From the beginning to the end, Yuzhu didn't jump up, he just stood on his tiptoes.
But it was such a simple method that Rukawa Kaede's carefully planned hand-pull-up layup was aborted.
This is the gap in talent!
Rukawa Kaede couldn't help but sigh, it would be great if he had such a good body.
"As expected of Rukawa Kaede! It was so dangerous, you almost succeeded just now."
Yuzhu said it was so dangerous, but in his heart he was lamenting Rukawa Kaede's physical fitness.
Rukawa Kaede undoubtedly has first-class physical fitness, but the key is his coordination.
In the original book, when Shohoku faced off against Hainan, Rukawa Kaede's slam dunk was truly astonishing. Without top-level coordination, airborne and jumping skills, it would have been impossible to perform such an action.
Rukawa Kaede didn't speak, his eyes were sharp, as if a raging fire was igniting.
"The best high school student in the country!"
Rukawa Kaede muttered silently in his heart. Ever since he saw Uozumi's strength, he never wanted to go to the United States as ambitiously as in the original work.
However, Rukawa Kaede also has a goal in mind, which is to become the number one high school student in the country first.
