NBA: This flower path is a bit strong

Shizuoka Prefecture representative team coach Ohfune was so surprised that his mouth was wide open.

For him, Hanagata's jumping ability and speed that surpassed those of high school players were rare!

"Fortunately, he was called out on the defensive end!"

"Otherwise, he would be a real threat to our inside line."

At this time, coach Ohfune was extremely glad that his center Ming Gaoguang was a player with outside passing ability.

Even outside the three-point line, he could deliver wonderful passes and assists.

"Huh?"

"Where is Sakuragi Hanamichi?"

Coach Ohfune suddenly discovered that Ming Gaoguang, who was standing near the three-point line and defending the top of the arc, was actually No. 15 from Kanagawa Prefecture.

A tall man who was unknown and wore professional sports "goggles"!

(Because it was inferred that Hanagata started in the winter game of his second year of high school and had never appeared on the national stage)

On the other hand, Hanagata ran to defend Mikoshiba.

"So that's it, it's to protect the rebounds!"

Coach Ohfune understood instantly.

"It seems that this time, a targeted countermeasure was thought out for the timeout."

"But our Ming Gao Guang, you can't just send someone to deal with it!"

"Although he has never shown himself on the national stage because of the drag of the previous team."

"But his level is comparable to that of a first-class center!"

(First-class is the Takasago category, Uozumi and Akagi are the top, and Yamato is the super high school level)

On the court, Ming Gao Guang was very dissatisfied with Kanagawa's substitution.

In his opinion, even if Sakuragi Hanamichi is not allowed to defend him.

At least a center player of Uozumi's level should be allowed to defend him.

"Heh, you really underestimated me!"

Ming Gao Guang said to Hanagata in a bad tone.

Ming Gao Guang, who was serving at the top of the arc, passed the ball to Katsumi Ichiro, and then quickly ran to the baseline mid-range.

After receiving the ball, Katsumi Ichiro made a fake shot, and then quickly passed the ball back to Ming Gao Guang who was running.

Ming Gaoguang received the ball from the mid-range at the baseline and made a skilled turnaround jump shot!

These were all basketball transfer tactics they had discussed in advance.

With the three-point threat of Ichiro Katsumi and Ming Gaoguang as a center, he had quick footsteps and high-post pass support.

Developed small cooperation.

Unfortunately, he met Hanagata, a flexible center with mid-range shooting ability and good footsteps!

With a "pop!", Hanagata blocked Ming Gaoguang's turnaround jump shot.

The basketball stumbled to the three-point line.

When Sendoh got the ball, he threw it directly to the opponent's half.

Rukawa and Hanamichi were already running ahead!

"Go, Rukawa!"

"Go, Sakuragi Hanamichi!"

Everyone on the bench cheered for the two.

Soon, Hanamichi surpassed Rukawa.

And he crossed the basketball and continued to run to the basket.

Rukawa received the ball one step outside the three-point line, and Mike Okita had already come up to defend.

Facing this blond and blue-eyed "foreigner", Rukawa passed the ball to the basket without blinking.

Hanamichi took advantage of the momentum of running and jumped up.

He jumped higher than before, grabbed the ball more steadily with both hands, and dunked the ball through the basket!

There was a violent cheer at the scene!

"Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa!"

Coach Ofuna's mind rang with the intelligence information of these two players.

"Beep! The Shizuoka Prefecture team requested a substitution!"

Coach Ofuna replaced No. 5 power forward Mikoshiba with No. 9 Watanabe Yuta (199cm, 100kg).

He replaced the shooting guard Katsumi Ichiro, who has performed well so far, with No. 10 Totsuka Tetsuya (180cm, 75kg).

"Who is that guy?"

Hanamichi recognized the 180cm No. 10, the "hero" who was "walked like a dog" by his original body and finally collapsed on the court.

As for the 199cm No. 9, I don't know where Lufeng got this treasure from!

"This physique is almost as good as Naito Tetsuya!"

The offense and defense on the court changed with the substitution of the coach of Ofuna:

No. 9 center Watanabe Yuta defends Sakuragi Hanamichi;

No. 4 center Ming Gaoguang defends Hanagata;

No. 13 small forward Mike Okita defends Sendoh;

No. 10 small forward Totsuka Tetsuya defends Rukawa;

No. 6 point guard Ebina Kaori defends Fujima Kenji.

However, the score of the two teams did not develop in the direction of Shizuoka Prefecture with the substitution!

Next, the score of the two teams continued to rise gradually.

However, with the addition of Rukawa and Sendoh's offensive firepower, and Hanamichi's rebounding guarantee,

The score of the Kanagawa Prefecture team increased slightly faster than that of the Shizuoka Prefecture team.The 8-point gap was gradually recovered and leveled.

There were 2 minutes left in the first half.

The Kanagawa team had already surpassed the Shizuoka team by 14 points.

At this time, Sendoh smiled at the blond and blue-eyed "foreigner" in front of him:

"If you don't shoot, the game may end early!"

After saying that, he turned around and went back to defense without caring whether Mike Okita understood or not.

Mike Okita looked at the coaching seat, and Coach Ofuna nodded!

"Finally, it's my turn to shoot!"

Mike Okita took over the ball from Ebina near the midline.

He dribbled the ball more and more frequently, and suddenly launched an attack outside the three-point line.

He broke through Sendoh's blockade with his skilled dribbling skills.

Then he used his strong physical fitness to successfully glide in the air with Rukawa Kaede!

Looking at Rukawa Kaede panting after landing.

Mike Okita smacked his lips with a sense of satisfaction.

He couldn't help but blurt out an English sentence:

"You are in poor physical condition"

(Your physical fitness is really too poor!)

Sendoh knew very well about this defense, and the problem was not with Rukawa.

However, his physical confrontation ability declined so seriously, which was closely related to the No. 10 on the opposite side.

He ran crazily from the moment he was substituted in.

And his fast attack speed and defense speed were very fast, even surpassing Rukawa for a period of time.

He ran for more than 10 minutes, plus the test of the hot summer.

Rukawa's physical strength declined faster than expected!

Hanamichi shook his head when he saw this.

So the sea cucumber was eaten in vain!

After all, if he was substituted in, he would have to be walked around like a dog by the opposite side!

However, he didn't know that he was about to face a test.

Then, Fujima held the ball and pushed it steadily to the center line.

Ebina's defensive interference means were becoming less and less effective against him.

At this moment, Mike Okita suddenly rushed towards Fujima from the side.

When he was about to hit him, he turned around and bypassed Fujima.

This scene not only scared Fujima, but also the referee.

He thought that this "foreigner" was going to do something violent!

But after the shock, Fujima reacted immediately and the ball in his hand was gone!

"Damn it, what a weird way of stealing!"

Fujima Kenji tried to return to defense and chase the ball back.

But Mike Okita had already rushed to the front court while he was stunned.

He even adjusted the angle and ended the counterattack with a beautiful glider back dunk.

This cool move that was blocked by Hanamichi during the warm-up was finally made!

Mike Okita was also very excited.

"This is a street basketball steal full of Mi-style."

Hanamichi explained, "As long as you are prepared for this kind of action, it will be difficult to be fooled next time."

"It's mainly because there are too many fancy moves!"

"This is also the reason why many street basketball players can't play well after entering the NBA!"

"I think this is also the reason why he put it at the end of the first half, just to catch the opponent by surprise!"

Facing Hanamichi's similar comforting explanation, Fujima still understood.

And then, Fujima also used his own unique shooting method.

Sudden attack, before his body jumped to the highest point, he decisively shot at the rising point.

Unexpectedly scored 3 points for his team.

"Fast break!"

With 7 seconds left in the game, Mike Okita ran quickly to the Kanagawa team's half with the ball.

"What a fast speed!"

The blond boy was like a flash of light.

Quickly surpassed Rukawa Kaede, Sendoh and others who were returning to defense!

"What a skillful dribbling breakthrough!"

"It's not over yet! Foreigner!!"

Hanamichi cursed behind him and kept shortening the distance between them.

When he reached the three-point line, Hanamichi had already surpassed Mike Okita and returned to the basket.

"Come on!"

Hanamichi opened his hands and was ready.

"Right here, I'll knock you down!"

However, Mike Okita suddenly stopped outside the free throw line.

A skillful crotch dribble pulled the ball back and stopped his speed.

Then he aimed at the basket and made an accurate mid-range shot!

"Swish!"

The net turned over like a wave, as if foreshadowing the foreigner's accurate mid-range shooting level.

(Running, jumping, shooting, controlling, and technical skills are all good~)

Another "foreigner" outside the court is Bill Simmons.

After watching Hanamichi and Mike Okita's firstIt was not a formal confrontation.

He also muttered to himself:

"Sakuragi-kun, this is the level of American high school students!"
