Without hesitation, Uozumi started beating Akagi from behind.
Even though Akagi's weight is much heavier than in the original work, given his height, in order to avoid affecting his speed and agility, his weight did not exceed 100 kilograms.
Even though Akagi's resistance was much stronger, he still couldn't stop retreating due to Uozumi's back blow.
Akagi's face turned dark red, and his entire upper body was obviously tilted backwards, but he was almost reaching his limit.
In this case, Akagi wanted to gamble and withdraw the stool.
The stool was removed, but he sat down on the ground in a very embarrassed state.
Uozumi only staggered slightly before regaining his balance.
All along, the fish will hold back its force when hitting from behind, just to prevent this kind of situation.
Just when Uozumi took one step across Akagi, Sakuragi immediately rushed towards Uozumi.
During this process, Sakuragi was also secretly guarding against Uozumi's pass to Naito, ready to intercept Uozumi's pass at any time.
I have to say that after the baptism of the national competition, Sakuragi has grown a lot.
Uozumi didn't pass the ball and strode into the penalty area as if he was in no one's land. While knocking Sakuragi away, he dunked with both hands.
The tonnage gap between the two sides is too obvious. Sakuragi can't even hit Shigehiro Mori, let alone Uozumi.
Uozumi let go of the basket and dropped it to the ground. He looked at Sakuragi who fell on the floor in confusion and asked teasingly: "Strange, Sakuragi, why are you sitting on the ground!"
"Damn boss monkey!"
Being ignored by Uozumi, Sakuragi suddenly became angry.
"You idiot, he's trying to piss you off!"
Suddenly, Rukawa Kaede floated past Sakuragi like a float.
"Sly fox, who am I to call a fool?"
Rukawa Kaede successfully attracted Sakuragi's firepower, prompting Sakuragi to return to normal.
Yuzhu raised his eyebrows and turned back to defend.
The stadium is like a battlefield, and even though I have the advantage, he never underestimates the Xiangbei team, but pays enough attention to it.
Shohoku started to serve, and Mitsui kept the pace and held the ball through half the court.
The Xiangbei players started to run tactics, and the Lingnan players adopted man-to-man defense and pursued them closely.
At the edge of the penalty area, Akagi pulled out and took Uozumi away on his own initiative.
Akagi knew very well that as long as Uozumi was in the restricted area, the restricted area would probably become a no-fly zone, which would be very detrimental to Shohoku.
On the other side, Sakuragi took the initiative to block Mitsui, and Naito had to follow.
All of a sudden, the restricted area instantly became empty.
With the help of Sakuragi's pick and roll, Mitsui immediately broke through Ikegami and went down quickly with the ball.
Naito quickly changed his defense. He was fast enough and his lateral movement was not slow. For a moment, he blocked Mitsui's breakthrough route.
Compared with last year, Naito's defense has grown a lot and he is already a top defender.
After trying unsuccessfully to break through, Mitsui did not stick to the ball and immediately passed the ball to Sakuragi who cut in from the other side.
Sendao followed Sakuragi closely, and suddenly, Sakuragi threw the ball to the side as if his soul was blessed.
In that direction, Rukawa Kaede just got rid of Nanxiang and successfully caught the basketball.
Nanxiang rushed forward immediately, but was hit by Rukawa Kaede's fake shot.
Rukawa Kaede broke into the penalty area and scored an easy layup.
"Sakura has grown a lot!"
Looking at Sakuragi's back, Ikegami couldn't help but sigh.
"Maybe this is genius!"
Uozumi shook his head, then turned to Nanxiang and said: "Nanxiang, you are also a first-year student. Don't lose to Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede!"
"Captain, I will defeat them!"
Nanxiang shouted loudly. He was very self-aware. Even though he had grown a lot compared to the county competition, he knew that he was still the weakest point in Lingnan's starting lineup.
Uozumi, Naito, Ikegami and Sendō are all more important than him in the team, and the key is not to be held back.
Offense and defense transition!
Uozumi once again received a pass from Sendō. This was Sendō. If it were other players at the same level, why would he have to play one himself.
Well, to sum it up in one word - lazy!
This is also the reason why Xiandao has a good outlook on the overall situation. He plays very rationally and is difficult to be affected by the outside world.
Uozumi received the basketball at the waist. Coach Anzai knew very well that Akagi was not Uozumi's opponent and was well prepared before the game.
So when Uozumi caught the ball, Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi rushed towards Uozumi and triple-teamed him.
The reason why it was Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi was mainly because they were the fastest among the starters in Shohoku, and they also had the second and third heights.
As soon as the three men finished double-teaming, Uozumi made a simple shake and dribble, easily knocked back Rukawa Kaede, and rushed out of the gap in long strides.
Akagi quickly took a step sideways and took the initiative to fight.
"Chance!"
When Uozumi stopped, Sakuragi flew over and slapped the basketball with his right hand.
Just when Sakuragi was about to touch the basketball, Uozumi pulled the basketball back with his right hand. While avoiding Sakuragi's gambling steal, he made a cross step and used his speed and explosive power to easily break through Akagi.
Bang~
Uozumi rushed into the penalty area and completed another slam dunk.
Creak~
The basket made an overwhelming sound and was pulled down quite a bit, giving people the feeling that it might be torn off at any time.
Uozumi quickly let go of his hand. The game had just started, so there was no need to attack the basket.
Hua Hua Hua~
Even so, Uozumi's actions still aroused exclamations from the audience.
"He's so strong. The top three centers, power forwards and small forwards in the country teamed up to double-team him, but they still couldn't stop him. I can only say that he is worthy of being the number one high school student in the country!"
In the audience, Kazuo Karasawa was amazed and felt pity at the same time.
Because Uozumi is destined not to join Fukasawa Sports University.
On the side, Shota Sugiyama was filled with emotion: "Some people are number one, just because it's best to be number one!"
Sugiyama Shota also served as the number one high school student in the country for a period of time, during his last year of high school.
Of course, since he did not win the national championship, Shota Sugiyama, the number one high school student in the country, was naturally questioned by many people, unlike Uozumi who was not questioned at all.
Whether it's Shota Sugiyama or the former ace of Sanno Industries, Maple Shuang Kashima, they are both the top high school students in the country. In terms of strength and dominance, there is a gulf-like gap between them and Uozumi.
It was Shohoku's turn to attack. This time Mitsui succeeded in singles and hit a mid-range shot.
However, Mitsui's attack this time was a bit laborious and not as smooth as before.
It's not that Mitsui is in bad shape, it's mainly that his opponent is too difficult to deal with.
It takes a lot of effort for Mitsui to break through Ikegami's defense and score.
The two have known each other for almost a year, and Ikegami has a good understanding of Mitsui's technical moves, habits and even rhythm.
Mitsui knew very well that if he wanted to score easily, he had to avoid Ikegami's defense.
