NBA: This flower path is a bit strong

The Kanagawa team regained a 4-point lead.

"Minggao, go and help the Tsurumi brothers!"

Mike Okita was temporarily directing on the court.

Hearing this, Minggao Hikaru also moved back to the high position from the mid-range position.

He took the pass from the Tsurumi brothers and stood at the top of the arc to deal the ball.

Mike Okita relied on his athletic ability and off-ball running skills to bypass Kazuo Ichiro and got an open opportunity.

At the same time, Minggao Hikaru's pass arrived as expected.

Mike Okita, who had already started running, was unstoppable and ran towards the empty penalty area.

Hanamichi wanted to step forward to stop him, but at this time, the silent No. 9 power forward Watanabe Yuta suddenly used his wide physique to firmly block Hanamichi.

Hanamichi took a lot of effort to break through the blockade, but it was too late.

Mike Okita was also unstoppable when he rushed up, and the basket of the Kanagawa Prefecture team was squeaked by his rampage.

Mike Okita, who also had his arms hanging on the basket, then did a pull-up by inertia.

Then he let go and landed, hooking his finger at Hanamichi.

"Interesting!"

Hanamichi was also very excited to see the prey, and he wanted to fight Mike Okita for 300 rounds immediately!

Coach Tanaoka saw that the opponent's momentum, which had just been suppressed, was revived because of Mike Okita's dunk.

He knew in his heart that when the opponent had played all his cards, he just needed to defeat the "foreigner" ace in front of him.

Then the victory of this game could be won by their Kanagawa team, and they would become the top four team in the autumn national sports!

"Since Miyagi wants to run, then run as fast as you can!"

Coach Tanaoka replaced Ah Shen with Uncle Maki, replacing him with Mike Okita, who had amazing defensive athletic ability.

And made a gesture to change to [run and gun tactics].

Similarly, Coach Ofuna also replaced Ming Gaoguang with Katsumi Ichiro to enhance the firepower of the outside attack.

So, a new round of confrontation began!

Miyagi returned to his familiar [run and gun] rhythm, which completely left the Tsurumi brothers out of sight.

Almost every attack would result in Kanagawa Prefecture having more players on the front court than on the back court.

Hanamichi and Amu have amazing athletic ability, and the two use their strong confrontation and finishing ability to continuously attack the opponent's basket.

Although Mike Okita is physically strong, he can't stand Uncle Mu's three-point shot with one hand and pass the ball with the other.

Can't he pass the ball to the open space if he can't shoot a three-point shot?

Who let the front court bully the few people with more people!

And Hanamichi, not to mention Uncle Mu's "2+1", was learned and applied by him.

Every ball would force the basket, either to create a kill and score; or to cause the opponent's power forward to foul.

Yuta Watanabe is nominally a power forward, but in fact he is a center with [meat shield] attributes.

Although he can cause some trouble for Hanamichi in terms of positioning under the basket.

But his lateral speed and footwork under the basket are not as good as Hanamichi.

Coupled with the characteristics of the [Run and Gun] tactic, Hanamichi is like a locomotive when he rushes up.

If you don't pay attention, Watanabe Yuta will be hit [painfully] and will also be fouled.

The second half of the game is halfway through.

Watanabe Yuta was fouled twice in a row by Hanamichi's [Explosive Layup] skill, and fouled 3 times in total.

Finally left this painful position~ off the court!

Ming Gaoguang returned to the inside line, defended by Uncle Mu.

As an organizing inside line, the former's scoring ability and desire are not very strong.

Replacing Watanabe Yuta is the blond and blue-eyed Mike Okita!

Hanamichi finally played against Mike Okita on offense and defense!

"You're finally here!"

"If you don't change positions, the game may end like this!"

Mike Okita also knew that the situation was very tense. If he could stop Hanamichi's attack here, there would be room for recovery.

Therefore, he ignored Hanamichi's words and focused on the defense in front of him.

Hanamichi saw that he was not interested, so he stopped talking and carried Mike Okita to the penalty area and reached for the ball.

Miyagi was very familiar with Hanamichi's position and sent the ball to him as he wished.

After Hanamichi took the ball in his right hand, he hit it twice with his back.

"Well~ It's really much harder than the stinky fox!"

Mike Okita felt like he was back in the familiar United States.

The impact he just received was no less than the strong attack of the American blacks he suffered in street basketball.

He couldn't help but groan.

Hanamichi didn't know it at all. He took advantage of the distance created by the second back-to-back shot and scored the ball with a half-turned [hook]!

Mike Okita really didn't expect that Hanamichi, a beast-style power forward with great impact, actually had such delicate skills and soft touch!

Even[Hook] He actually knows this offensive skill!

Next, Mike Okita's attack.

He used a probing step to test Hanamichi's defense in the mid-range position.

Hanamichi's defensive style is very active.

He did not stick to Mike Okita closely.

Compared with jump shots, Hanamichi is more afraid of his breakthrough.

Once he sticks too close, giving the latter space to make moves.

Then Hanamichi may be played around in the air like a monkey.

Seeing this, Mike Okita dribbled the ball with his right hand and made a gesture behind his back with his left hand.

Then he quickly broke through from Hanamichi's left hand.

"I've been waiting for you to do this!"

Hanamichi opened his arms and blocked Mike Okita's breakthrough with his chest.

And he used his faster speed to seize the position of Mike Okita's breakthrough path in advance.

In the eyes of the audience, Mike Okita broke through along an arc.

But he was forced to rush to a position near the bottom corner three-point line by Hanamichi.

The more Mike Okita breaks through, the further he is from the basket!

"Only Hanamichi, who has both strength and speed, can do this kind of defense!"

The crowd in the audience sighed, especially Takasago and Hanagata.

As former defeated opponents, they knew the gap between them and Hanamichi, but they didn't expect it to be so big.

It was as if they hadn't seen each other for a while, and Hanamichi's strength was like a triple jump, soaring straight up!

At this time, Rukawa Kaede recalled the bullfighting duel that started with a bang but ended with a whimper.

He was not sure whether Hanamichi's offense at that time would score, but he was afraid that his breakthrough would hardly break through Hanamichi's defense!

At the same time, he remembered what Hanamichi said that day.

Only then did he understand the true meaning of it!

"The United States! I'm really looking forward to it!!"
