NBA: This flower path is a bit strong

Hanamichi received the pass from Ayako and turned his back to Akagi at the corner, trying to squeeze back with force, but after a little trial, he chose to give up the power confrontation.

Akagi was not only as strong as Hanamichi, but also formed an all-round defense against Hanamichi because he was one size bigger than Hanamichi. Even with his back to Akagi, he could feel his amazing momentum and strength in defense.

"Should we say that Akagi Takenori, the leader of the four centers in Kanagawa in the original work, is really a gorilla!"

Hanamichi complained in his heart, but the movements of his hands and feet were not slow at all.

After another power confrontation, Hanamichi did not bounce back by inertia like before, but broke through from the left hand, and the swift turning speed broke through half a body position and ran towards the bottom line of the basket.

Akagi was slightly surprised, then took two steps at a time, and immediately started chasing and defending from the inside near the center of the basket, and always used his body to block Hanamichi's route to the basket.

As for Hanamichi, he was a little slower than usual because he had to dribble the ball, so he let Akagi "squeeze" him all the way to the baseline. At this time, Hanamichi still had a half-shoulder lead.

Hanamichi followed the baseline, used his shoulder to fight against Akagi, and used the kinetic energy of running to push Akagi away, and then slipped along the baseline to the basket.

"What?" ×3

Kumure, Rukawa, and Ayako who were watching the game were all shocked.

Obviously, Hanamichi's physical fitness when he pushed Akagi away during dribbling shocked them. From the initial collision of power, no one thought that Hanamichi was stronger than Akagi, after all, Akagi had the advantage in height, weight, and experience.

In fact, this was also the misunderstanding of the three of them. In static strength comparison, Hanamichi's 92 points of strength might be comparable to Akagi or even a little worse than Akagi, but once running, the competition is not only about strength, but also about physical explosiveness, kinetic energy, and agility.

Yes, it is agility, which can help Hanamichi choose to contact Akagi in advance when he is about to touch him.

To put it simply, it is to take advantage of every opportunity. When Akagi's body strength has not yet fully gathered in the direction of contact, Hanamichi can choose to use all his potential energy and strength to press the barrier formed by Akagi's body.

This is also the advantage of Hanamichi taking the initiative on the attacking side. When he runs and tears Akagi's defense, he can choose to suppress in advance, and then use the shoulder advantage to press Akagi, thereby freeing up his own space. When Hanamichi ran to the basket, he had completely freed up space under the basket and stood firm, but Akagi did not lose his position at this time. He raised his hands to cover the air above Hanamichi's left hand, and the basket was above his hands.

At this time, Hanamichi had only two choices, one was to use his left hand to push Akagi away and then shoot or dunk.

The other is to step forward and lay up (looking back at the moon), or step back and lay up.

The former is more difficult, and if you are not careful, you may be called for an offensive foul. As for the latter, it is time to show your status and pace.

The thought took only a moment. In the eyes of Rukawa Kaede and the other two, Hanamichi ran to the basket and then took advantage of the situation to pass the ball, then raised his head to look at the basket above his head, raised the basketball with his right hand, and prepared for a small hook shot back to the basket.

Seeing this, Akagi hurriedly tiptoed, stretched out his left hand, and the center was to his left front. Hanamichi's right hand was offset and covered the direction his right hand was aiming at. At this time, the two faced each other, Akagi faced the basket, and Hanamichi was under the basket.

If Hanamichi made a hook shot layup at this time, he would definitely get a solid block, but he was prepared. He used his left foot as the axis, withdrew his right foot and right hand, and his body instantly turned back to Akagi, and then raised his right hand to prepare for a small hook shot.

Seeing this, Akagi shouted: "It's still early!"

But at this time, because of the left center of gravity, there was no time to retract it, so Akagi used his left foot to force, jumped up, and hit the direction of Hanamichi's hand in front of him on the right. If he hit it, it would be a solid big pot block.

"Good, Akagi, well done!"

Muro cheered loudly on the side.

Unexpectedly, Hanamichi seemed to know something, maybe he had long expected that Akagi would be tricked into jumping up, so when Akagi jumped in the air, he used his left foot as the axis, took a big step to the left with his right foot, and then jumped up calmly to hit the backboard. This series of actions was smooth and smooth, and it was done in one go.

"What!" ×4

Even Akagi, the person involved, didn't expect to be tricked like this, just like a monkey, two consecutive fake moves.

Mugure looked at Ayako, and Ayako spread her hands and indicated: "No traveling."

Mugure knew in his heart that Hanamichi's attack did not travel, and when Ayako confirmedAfter recognizing him, he was stunned for a moment, then excited. He looked at Ayako again with excitement in his eyes, and Ayako responded with a bright smile.

"We are stronger!"

Rukawa Kaede was touching his chin, reviewing Hanamichi's series of actions in his head:

"First, he tricked the captain's center of gravity to move to the left, then tricked the captain to return to defense in time and could only jump to the right, and finally pulled forward to layup calmly... If the captain didn't jump, he could have directly hit the backboard. Well~ It's really a deceptive red-haired monkey!"

After landing, Akagi looked at Hanamichi, smiled with satisfaction, and praised: "Well done, Sakuragi Hanamichi!"

"Yes, captain," Hanamichi also responded with attention.

Although Akagi was on defense and Hanamichi was on offense in this test, everyone was quite satisfied with the final result. Akagi and Mugure confirmed that Rukawa and Sakuragi Hanamichi were both strong players, and Rukawa and Hanamichi confirmed that the captain Akagi was not just a name, but really had the power of a gorilla, at least on defense.

As for Mugure, Mugure said: As long as you are happy, as for me, I am also very happy, after all, the Xiangbei basketball team is stronger. I am really happy, woo woo woo... I am so happy that I cried.

For the next week or so, the training was basically carried out like this. After lunch and after school, they first ran to warm up and stretch their bodies, and then the second-year students led the first-year freshmen to conduct basic passing, layup, and shooting training. As for Akagi Takenori, Mugure Konobu, Rukawa, and Hanamichi, they trained their subjects in the other half according to their own progress.

For example, Akagi was more engaged in strength and footwork training, Rukawa was dribbling and shooting training, and Mugure was busier. In addition to his own three-point shooting, he also went to the other half from time to time to instruct the first-year freshmen.

As for Hanamichi, he and Takenori Akagi trained their footwork and shooting at the basket.

From time to time, the two would play imaginary defense. For example, Hanamichi acted as a wooden stake for Akagi who was training his footwork, and Akagi raised his hands to pretend to defend when Hanamichi shot at the basket.

Such training certainly would not consume too much physical strength for Hanamichi, who is a master of physical strength, let alone the growth of strength and speed. It was as slow as a snail. However, his shooting at the basket increased from 77 points to 80 points. When there was no one defending, he was basically a hundred shots. When there was interference, as long as there was space, he could basically make 8 out of 10 shots. Of course, it was not good to say if there was serious interference.

The training usually ended at 7:30. At this time, the second and third grades went back first, and the first grade cleaned up.

But no one knew that after the cleaning, Rukawa and Hanamichi would stay and start extra training.

Rukawa practiced basic movements such as dribbling, ball control, layups, and fixed-point shooting.

Hanamichi was more targeted. In addition to practicing 100 extra shots under the basket, he gradually expanded the range of shots under the basket to the vicinity of the restricted area and the surrounding areas, especially the positions one step outside the four corners of the restricted area. As a fixed position, Hanamichi had to shoot 25 balls each day before the training ended. In total, the shooting training task was 200 balls.

The two of them were very tacit, each occupying half of the court. Every night, the only sounds in the basketball hall were the friction between footsteps and the floor and the sound of basketballs hitting the floor, backboard, and basket.

Until one morning, a white-haired old man broke the fixed training pattern of the Xiangbei basketball team.
