After the halftime break, both sides resumed play.
Hanagata pumped her fist vigorously and came back on stage.
With this backup pair of glasses, his shooting percentage will not be affected.
Fujima hit Hanagata's chest with his right fist and said: "Hanagata, I'll leave Akagi to you next!!"
In the last three minutes of the first half, Akagi was wreaking havoc on the basket. Takano was no match for him, which meant that the Shoyo team had a hot touch and would definitely be opened up by Shohoku.
Fujima knows very well that it is difficult to maintain a hot touch for a whole game, and in the entire Xiangyang system, Hanagata is the only center who can contain Akagi on both offense and defense.
Even if you look at the country, Hanagata is one of the top five centers. If it weren't for his lack of strength on the defensive end, he has every hope of competing with Akagi and Ohda for the second center spot in the country.
At the beginning of the second half, Hanagata took the initiative to ask Fujima for the ball.
Just now his teammates fulfilled their promise and were not widened by Xiangbei. Now it's time for him to contribute to the team.
Fujima trusted Hanagata very much and immediately passed the ball.
"bring it on!"
Akagi opened his hands with serious eyes. He and Hanagata were also old rivals, and he knew very well how difficult Hanagata was on the offensive end.
Hanagata's advantages are mainly concentrated on the offensive end. He has a soft touch, wide attack range, height and long arms, and is more flexible than ordinary centers. He can even shoot fadeaway jumpers. It is difficult to limit his performance.
As soon as he got the basketball, Hanagata immediately made a breakthrough gesture, as if he wanted to force a breakthrough.
Akagi hurriedly moved his steps to block Hanagata's way.
It was also at this time that Hanagata naturally took a step back. His rhythm was very good. Before Akagi adjusted his balance and rushed forward, he had already thrown the ball.
Huh~
The basketball hollowed into the net, creating a cloud of net flowers.
For Hanagata, he knows many different shooting methods, and his shooting range can even include beyond the three-point line.
This is Kanagawa Prefecture, which is seriously involved in involution. Hanagata often faces off against Uozumi and Akagi. Over time, his strength has deteriorated compared to the original work.
Shohoku served, and Mitsui held the ball past half court. After delaying for a while, he lobbed the ball to Akagi who was stuck in position.
Hanagata didn't speak, his eyes were more serious than ever before, and he used his hands and feet simultaneously, trying to disrupt Akagi's offensive rhythm.
Feeling the pressure on his back, Akagi began to perform the flower form on his back.
Bang~
The flower-shaped body swayed but did not take a step back.
His foothold is very stable, and his confrontation is still above Takano. He is simply a replica of Shota Sugiyama.
Akagi was not surprised. As an opponent, he knew Hanagata's strength very well.
Akagi continued to perform the flower form on his back, further increasing his strength.
Suddenly, Hanagata withdrew the stool. Although Akagi kept his strength, his steps still staggered.
Pa~
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hanagata pounced and successfully swatted the ball away with his right hand.
As a price, Hanagata fell to the ground.
His spare glasses weren't broken, though.
"This guy is so desperate!"
Akagi frowned. Compared with the first half, Hanagata was obviously more energetic in the second half.
It's not so much about fighting for his life as it is about risking his life. Even Akagi would be frightened by his momentum.
Nan Lie grabbed the basketball first and quickly passed the ball to Fujima.
Xiangyang launched a fast attack again. Hanagata pushed his hands on the ground hard, stood up quickly, and rushed to the frontcourt.
Akagi chased after him, and the two ran against each other.
After running into the three-point line, Hanagata suddenly stopped suddenly. Akagi had no time to brake and passed straight past.
In the first moment, Fujima passed the ball.
Hanagata made a posture of catching the ball and shooting. Akagi hurriedly took a step forward. Although he did not take off, his feet were still subconsciously raised.
Collect the ball in a flower shape and make a breakthrough posture.
In a hurry, Akagi moved his steps quickly, but because his rhythm was disrupted, his steps were messed up.
It was also at this time that Hanagata jumped up, leaned back slightly, and threw the ball softly.
Akagi wanted to intercept, but his body didn't allow it, and it was obviously too late.
Huh~
Hanagata made another shot. He glanced at Akagi and turned back to defend.
At this time, Mitsui slapped Akagi's butt hard and said with a smile: "Akagi, you can't do it. You are the second center in the country, so don't be compared to Hanagata!"
Akagi said angrily: "Mitsui, you should take care of yourself first. I just took a nap. I will take care of the flower shape, so you don't need to worry about it!"
Men are most afraid of being told that they are not good enough, and Akagi is no exception.
Sure enough, in this attack, Akagi pressed the pattern, rushed to the basket, and scored two points with his best gorilla dunk.
"drink!"
Akagi landed on the ground, slapped his chest hard, and glanced sideways at Mitsui, as if to say if he saw it.
"Okay, okay, you're awesome!"
Mitsui rolled his eyes at Akagi, he is such an old man and yet he is still so fussy about it.
However, Akagi was not proud for long, as Hanagata scored again on the offensive end.
This time, Akagi's defense was in place, but he still couldn't prevent Hanagata's shot, because Hanagata used a golden rooster to stand alone, prompting Akagi to throw a rat-proof weapon.
Akagi hurriedly stopped, breaking out in a cold sweat and almost breaking out in a panic.
In this way, Akagi's interference with Hanagata is limited.
The golden rooster can easily open up the shooting space independently. In order to prevent the situation of being beaten, the opposing players will not dare to get close at all, and the ball-holding team will have room to take the shot.
Unless the opposing player is taller, has a longer wingspan, and can jump better, it will be difficult to defend against this move.
As for how the flower shape can be independent of the Golden Rooster, then we have to ask the Fish Liver.
Offense and defense transition!
Shohoku attacked again, and this time, Sakuragi had an opportunity and successfully threw Kishimoto away.
Mitsui hurriedly passed the ball to Sakuragi, who stepped forward, hoping to rush into the basket and record a slam dunk, so as to show off in front of Haruko.
At the critical moment, Hanagata blocked Sakuragi.
Bang~
The two collided, and under the powerful impact, Hanagata was knocked to the ground by Sakuragi.
Toot~
The referee blew the whistle.
"Red team No. 10 committed a collision foul!"
Sakuragi didn't dare to accept it and shouted angrily: "How is it possible? It was obviously him who blocked the foul!"
Hanagata stood up from the ground and retorted: "Sakuragi, before you knocked me down, I had already established my footing. It is normal to commit a foul by hitting someone."
Hanaxing shook her head and explained in a calm tone.
On the side, Rukawa Kaede complained: "You idiot, you were too anxious to show off just now!"
"Wow wow wow, damn Rukawa Kaede!"
Sakuragi gritted his teeth and stared at Rukawa Kaede, who was not afraid at all.
Bang ~ bang ~
However, the two of them were lucky enough to be served by Akagi's iron fist.
"Now is not the time for fun!"
Akagi looked solemn, because of the outstanding performance of the flower shape, Xiangyang gained momentum.
