NBA: This flower path is a bit strong

Hanamichi also felt that the situation was gradually changing in favor of Ryonan, and Xiangbei's momentum was suppressed by Yuzumi's three consecutive blocks.

"It's troublesome. Could it be that Yuzumi has awakened the [side dish philosophy] here? Such a Yuzumi is not something that the gorilla can deal with alone!" Hanamichi thought to himself as he looked at Yuzumi who was defending.

Although the ball was still in Xiangbei's hands at this time, Yasuda, who was dribbling the ball, didn't know who to give the basketball to for a while, and it seemed that he had not yet reacted to the shock of Yuzumi's block just now.

"I can't do this! I have to find a way."

So Hanamichi ran out to catch the ball, and then used his speed to shake off Ikegami and quickly dribbled to the basket, seemingly to provoke Yuzumi.

But Yuzumi did not choose to move forward to defend in the face of Hanamichi's attack, but tightly stuck to Akagi behind him.

Hanamichi saw that Yuzumi was not fooled, so he had to stop the ball at the edge of the penalty area, jumped up and shot a jump shot, and the basketball "swish" went into the net, and then the Xiangbei team began to return to defense.

"Sendoh!"

Uozumi gestured to Sendoh, who nodded:

"I see, Uozumi-senpai!"

"It's really interesting, there are actually two first-year super rookies in Xiangbei!"

Sendoh felt that the game was getting more and more interesting, and he was getting more and more excited, and he was going to get serious.

"Uekusa, I'll control the ball next."

"Sendoh? Um... OK, I understand."

After saying that, Uekusa passed the basketball that didn't cross half court to Sendoh, and he ran towards the defensive target Yasuda Yasuharu.

All the players of the current Ryonan team are full of trust in Sendoh.

Moreover, after failing to recruit talents this year, coach Tiangang carefully analyzed the team's position structure and deliberately trained Sendoh as a point guard. In the words of coach Tiangang:

"In basketball, a sport full of passion and strategy, every top team must have an outstanding point guard. They are like the team's intellectual core, closely controlling the pulse of the entire game, and can be said to be the conductor on the court!"

"This point guard not only needs to have extraordinary skills, but also has keen insight and decisive decision-making ability. They always observe the movements of both sides of the enemy, quickly determine the best time to attack, and pass the ball to the most suitable teammates through accurate and accurate passes, completing wonderful attacks again and again."

"At the same time, excellent point guards also need to have strong psychological qualities, be able to stay calm at critical moments, and not be disturbed by the outside world. They must withstand tremendous pressure and lead the team to overcome difficulties and move towards victory. . "

"In short, an excellent point guard is crucial to a basketball team. They are the soul of the team. It is because of these excellent point guards that basketball games become so exciting and fascinating. "

"Like Shinichi Maki of the Hainan team, Kenji Fujima of the Shoyo team, and so on. The reason why our Ryonan lost to them last year was because there was no excellent point guard in the team. "

"Although the defensive double guard combination composed of Uesugi and Yuyue can make up for the gap in guards with these first-class teams to a certain extent, especially in defense, it can only make up for it, but cannot surpass it. "

"And Sendoh Akira! There is no doubt that he is a treasure. He has the talent and strength that can match Shinichi Maki and Kenji Fujima. Point guard is the position where he can best play his strength! "

"Go, Sendoh, let them see your strength!"

Coach Tanaoka yelled at Sendoh, as if he wanted to vent something unwilling.

Sendoh smiled and came to the 45-degree position of the court with the ball. Others opened up the space on the court, and even Yuzumi pulled Akagi to the outside of the penalty area. It seems that the Ryonan team has practiced this set of Sendoh's ball-control tactics.

Seeing that all his teammates had opened up the space, Sendoh began to speed up the frequency and rhythm of dribbling. Suddenly, he passed Rukawa and broke through to the free throw line.

Rukawa hurried to catch up, but Sendoh swayed back and forth, making Rukawa unable to tell which side Sendoh was going to break through, so he had to gamble and choose his left side.

Unexpectedly, Sendoh broke through from his right and went straight to the basket. Akagi was stuck behind Yuzumi and could not enter the penalty area at all.

Hanamichi had already given up defending Ikegami when he saw this. He ran to the basket with a far higher amount of exercise than ordinary people, and jumped high to block it. At this time, Sendoh had fully accelerated and jumped, and with a slight pull-up layup, he avoided Hanamichi's defense and picked the basketball in!

Next, Sendoh showed his excellent ball-handling skills. Sometimes he dribbled past the defense and easily scored layups; sometimes he cleverly passed the ball to his teammates and gave them precise assists, helping them easily hit the basket.

And YuWith his tall stature and excellent vision, Yuzumi made some amazing passes from time to time, making it difficult for the opponent to defend.

On the other hand, although Hanamichi, Rukawa and Akagi are all very good at defense, Mugure and Yasuda are relatively weak in defense.

This allows players such as Yuyue to seize the opportunity, cooperate closely with Sendoh and Yuzumi, constantly tear open the defense line of the Xiangbei team, and score frequently.

Facing the opponent's sharp attack, the Xiangbei team gradually fell into a passive situation.

For a while, the two-person opera of the Ryonan team was sung very wonderfully, and the reporters on the sidelines kept taking pictures back and forth with their cameras.

In comparison, Xiangbei's big black pillar Akagi Takenori, except for the occasional success in singles against Yuzumi, his other performances were obviously not as good as Yuzumi, and his efficiency was not high. Rukawa was caught in a tangle. At this time, he was not Sendoh's opponent and could not stop Sendoh at all.

Only Hanamichi was able to defend and save the team in the restricted area, and occasionally blocked one or two shots, so that Ryonan didn't pull the score to 19 points as in the original book.

At the end of the first half, the score was 34:23, and the home team was ahead, with Ryonan leading by 11 points.

Coach Anxi looked at Rukawa Kaede sitting in the rest area and said:

"In the second half, Kadota will play and Yasuda will leave. I hope that Rukawa will control the ball and Hanamichi will attack. Can you do it?"

Rukawa Kaede was stunned, and then said, "Yes!"

At the beginning of the second half, Ryonan succeeded in jumping the ball, so Hanamichi repositioned himself near the three-second zone after he came on the court. This position can help Akagi protect the safety of the restricted area and provide a large-scale defense.

Sendoh and Ikegami switched positions, seemingly to test the level of this red-haired first-year junior, but under the pressure of Hanamichi's body, Sendoh's speed in trying to enter the restricted area was completely suppressed.

"In terms of strength, this red-haired kid is at Yuzumi's level."

So Sendoh stopped and passed the ball to Yueyue, who was one step inside the three-point line. Yueyue took the opportunity to dribble forward and jumped up one step to prepare for horseback archery and shooting.

"Don't even think about it!"

Hanamichi saw Yueyue's jump, so he quickly started running towards Yueyue. When he just ran in front of him, he had already thrown the basketball in his hand. Seeing this, Hanamichi jumped up and rushed straight. While blocking the shot, he also noticed the position of the player and slammed the ball heavily towards Rukawa Kaede who was defended by Ikegami.

In this way, just at the beginning of the second half, Hanamichi had achieved 5 blocks with this block.

After receiving the ball, Rukawa Kaede quickly dribbled to the front court, and Akagi shouted: "Fast break".

Everyone ran to the opposite basket, but there was no doubt that Rukawa Kaede and Hanamichi were the fastest.

Caizi said happily: "No one can catch up with the speed of the Xiangbei fast break duo!"

As a result...Sendoh suddenly ran in front of Rukawa, stood firm at the free throw line, and made defensive moves.

Hanamichi on the side was also ready to receive the ball.

Rukawa jumped up to meet Sendoh, and made a quick stop jump shot, so Sendoh had to jump up as well.

And Hanamichi received a very comfortable pass, and then almost without any pause or adjustment, he made a three-step layup and scored.

"Stinky fox, beautiful pass!"

"Humph!"

Sendoh looked at the two people who returned to defense, and said with a little excitement:

"This year's freshmen are really hard to deal with."
