There are only five minutes left before the end of the game. If the score is not improved, Xiangbei will lose!
In order to reverse the victory, the Xiangbei players cheered up and started working hard.
Lingnan's offense, Xiandao subconsciously wanted to pass the ball to Yuzhu.
Suddenly, a figure swooped forward, it was Sakuragi!
"bumped into!"
Feeling the touch from her fingertips, Sakuragi smiled, and then fell heavily to the ground face down, making a dull sound.
The basketball changed its trajectory instantly. Rukawa Kaede grabbed the basketball and immediately launched a fast break.
Sakuragi jumped up from the ground and rushed forward as fast as possible as if nothing was wrong.
At the same time, Xiangbei players rushed to the frontcourt.
"No, get back to defense!"
Xiandao's expression changed, and he quickly took the lead in chasing Rukawa Kaede.
On the other side, Itakura is also trying his best to pursue Sakuragi.
What made Itakura speechless was that the distance between the two people not only did not shorten, but became wider and wider.
"This guy is just an animal!"
Itakura secretly cursed that he couldn't catch up with an inside lineman from the outside, and he couldn't help but feel envious and jealous of Sakuragi's physical fitness.
Lingnan returned to defense very quickly, but still failed to defend the ball.
Before being caught up by Xiandao, Rukawa Kaede did not stick to the ball and quickly threw the ball towards the basket.
Bang~
The next moment, Sakuragi almost jumped up from the free throw line, grabbed the basketball in the air, and slammed it into the basket.
Hua Hua Hua~
In the stadium, the audience cheered enthusiastically.
I have to say, this goal is indeed wonderful.
"Wow hahaha, everyone saw it, this is my genius' slam dunk of the century!"
Listening to the cheers of the audience, Sakuragi smiled wildly while grabbing the basket.
"You idiot, come down quickly!"
Rukawa Kaede's voice sounded, and Sakuragi turned around and saw that the referee was about to put the whistle on his mouth. He was so frightened that he quickly let go of the basket.
The referee hesitated and did not blow the whistle.
Sakuragi breathed a sigh of relief and shouted to Rukawa Kaede: "Rukawa Kaede, only a genius like you can catch a pass as bad as yours!"
Rukawa Kaede looked sideways at Sakuragi, too lazy to respond to Sakuragi's shouting, and turned around to leave.
"Idiot, now is not the time to celebrate, why don't you hurry back to defense!"
Akagi's roar sounded. It turned out that at this time, Lingnan chose to serve quickly, which frightened Sakuragi and quickly returned to defense as quickly as possible.
In the audience, Sugiyama Shota pointed at Sakuragi and said: "This guy's physical strength is like a monster, and his physical fitness is even more amazing. He is a very good seedling! By the way, Rukawa Kaede is also very good!"
"It's a pity that they are still in first grade!"
Kazuo Karasawa could naturally see the excellence of Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede, as their talents were almost overflowing.
He knew very well that when the two graduated, he would face huge competition if he wanted to recruit them.
"Our main targets are Okawada, Mitsui, Ikegami and Fujima!"
Shota Sugiyama, Ohda, Ikegami, Mitsui and Fujima, this is the dream lineup in Kazuo Karasawa's mind.
Of course, this is just an ideal lineup. If he can't recruit him, he still has Morohoshida, Matsumoto Minoru, Hanagata, Nanretsu, Akagi, Kigure, Kishimoto, Fukatsu, etc. as alternatives.
After all, Fukasawa Sports University is a famous basketball school, and Kazuo Karasawa is confident enough to win a few.
The game on the field was still going on. This time Xiandao kept an eye on it. After delaying for about twenty seconds, he safely sent the ball to Yuzhu's hands.
At this moment, Sakuragi rushed over and teamed up with Akagi to double-team Uozumi.
Uozumi made a fake pass to Naito, which caused Sakuragi's center of gravity to shift.
Before Sakuragi could regain his center of gravity, Uozumi brushed past Sakuragi.
On the side, Akagi tried his best to stop him, but Uozumi stopped suddenly. Akagi rushed too hard. When he stopped, the two sides were two or three steps apart.
"What a beautiful thought!"
Just when Uozumi was about to shoot, Sakuragi rushed up again and jumped high.
However, Yuzumi didn't take off after laying eggs. Instead, he waited until Sakuragi started to fall and then leaned on him.
Sakuragi wanted to stop, but it was too late.
Pa~
Sakuragi slapped Uozumi's arm with his right hand. In mid-air, Uozumi's center of gravity barely changed and he easily threw the ball.
Toot~
At the same time, the referee blew the whistle.
Bang~shua~
A standard hit, Yuzhu gets another two points.
"Damn it, I got dumped by the monkey boss again!"
Sakuragi clenched his fists, feeling very unhappy, and then began to curse Uozumi who was standing on the free throw line.
Sakuragi held his breath and kept cursing at Uozumi: "Don't come in, don't come in, don't come in!"
Rukawa Kaede rarely complained. At this moment, he hoped that Sakuragi could succeed in the curse.
Huh~
At the free throw line, Uozhu easily hit the free throw.
Sakuragi:……
If it is Yuzhu in SD, there is a real possibility of a penalty loss.
Shohoku's offense soon started, and the panting Mitsui once again used his teammates to get rid of Ikegami and caught the basketball.
Just when Mitsui was about to shoot a three-pointer, suddenly, a huge shadow rushed up, it was Uozumi.
Mitsui hurriedly took back the basketball. Even if he activated the remaining blood hanging, with Uozumi's height and long arms, if he shot in front of Uozumi, it would be no different from giving away a hat.
Without hesitation, Mitsui immediately passed the ball to Akagi who was in the open position.
Bang~
Uozumi had no time to turn back and could only watch Akagi score two points with his best gorilla dunk.
Uozumi was not surprised by this.
This was his plan. Instead of letting Mitsui shoot a three-pointer, it would be better to let Akagi score two points.
With Lingnan's double-digit advantage, Xiangbei wants to turn defeat into victory. Their only reliance is three-pointers, otherwise there is no chance of winning.
Lingnan served, and Xiandao was almost stuck in the middle of the half.
For Lingnan, delaying time is obviously more cost-effective.
On the other hand, in Xiangbei, because time is getting less and less, they are gradually becoming impatient.
Sendō passed the ball to Uozumi again. Even when faced with a double-team, Uozumi still hit a hook steadily.
In the world of high school basketball in the island country, Uozumi's hook shot can be said to be unstoppable. Akagi and Sakuragi, who are much shorter than him, can't even interfere.
When returning to defense, Uozumi made a gesture to his teammates.
The teammates nodded to indicate understanding.
Lingnan's defensive end has obviously changed, from man-to-man to three-two defense.
The advantage of the three-two zone defense is to defend those teams that have three-pointers from the outside when the ball is released quickly.
When the opponent uses three-point shooting tactics, peripheral players prevent the opponent from quickly transferring the ball by running constantly, which can limit the opponent's three-point shooting to the maximum extent.
At this time, the pressure on Xiangbei's outside line can be imagined.
