NBA: This flower path is a bit strong

The first joint match of the Xiangbei basketball team was against Miuradai.

Miuradai won all the way last year until they met the champion Hainan, and then unfortunately stopped in the quarterfinals.

This year, under the leadership of captain Murasame Kengo, they vowed to enter the joint finals, defeat Hainan, and avenge their previous shame.

For this reason, they recruited the school rugby team, the second-year student Naito Tetsuya, who can be said to be the person with the strongest physical fitness in Kanagawa Prefecture in the original SD~no one else.

Before the game started, all members of the Ryonan basketball team went to the gymnasium to observe the Xiangbei basketball team.

In the eyes of ordinary players in Ryonan, the Xiangbei basketball team is the type of unlucky. In the first game of the schedule, they met the strong enemy Miuradai.

But only a few players who have played against Xiangbei in person know how powerful Xiangbei is.

"Does Miuradai have anyone to suppress Rukawa Kaede?"

"With just Akagi, Shohoku has the strength to be one of the top eight teams in the prefecture!"

"Shohoku's inside line is guarded by Akagi and Hanamichi, Miuradai will suffer a big loss this time!"

...

As an ambitious Miuradai, in order to boost morale before the game.

Even if he heard that Shohoku only lost to Ryonan, one of the top four last year, by only 4 points, even if he saw with his own eyes that all the players of the Ryonan basketball team were sitting in the audience.

Miuradai captain Kengo Murasame said bluntly:

"We Miuradai are going to beat the team from Kainan. Even if you Shohoku only lost to Ryonan by 4 points, it's nothing great. We are not comparable to a second-rate team like Ryonan!"

The players of the Ryonan team in the audience were immediately furious. You said I came to watch a game and was provoked and attacked by others. What the hell is this!

So the furious Ryonan players yelled at Shohoku before the game started, "Let Miuradai learn some lessons."

On the other side, the Shohoku basketball team seemed much more nervous than Miuradai, not only because the substitutes of the Shohoku basketball team had little experience in big competitions, but also because this time was the same as the original.

Hanamichi, Rukawa, Mitsui, and Miyagi were all pressed on the bench by their father, Coach Anzai, for one reason:

"This is a punishment for you fighting!"

Hanamichi was speechless for a while, and even explained without thinking:

"Dad! Gorilla also beat up Xiaosan that day, why didn't you punish him!"

This made Akagi hit Hanamichi with a heavy hammer and beat him obediently.

Mitsui on the side was dissatisfied with Hanamichi's address:

"You are such an impolite guy, you should call me senior."

"Then I'll call you Shou Shou!"

"Forget it, you'd better call me Xiao San..."

Faced with Hanamichi's shamelessness, Mitsui made the same choice as Miyagi.

...

"Then, the match between Xiangbei High School and Miuradai High School officially begins now, beep~~~~"

Miuradai's starting players: No. 4 small forward Murasame Kengo (186cm), No. 8 center Kawasaki Akio (192cm), No. 7 shooting guard Takatsu Hiroshi (185cm), No. 5 point guard Araki Kazuo (187cm), No. 6 small forward Miyamoto Kazunari (186cm).

Shohoku's starting lineup: No. 4 center Akagi Takenori (197cm), No. 9 power forward Kadota Satoru (180cm), No. 8 small forward Shiozaki Tetsushi (170cm), No. 5 shooting guard Kogure Konobu (178cm), No. 6 point guard Yasuharu Yasuda (165cm).

From the perspective of height and body type on the field, except for Akagi, there is no doubt that the players of Miuratai have the upper hand, and each of them is over 185cm.

It was the first time that the second-year players Kadota, Shiozaki, and Yasuda officially appeared in the prefectural competition as the starting lineup. Facing the tall and strong Miuratai players who seemed to be superior to them in all aspects, they were so nervous that they were at a loss for a while.

Not only did the nervousness double the physical consumption, but they did not even perform at half the level of the usual practice games. It can only be said that for the first time, "participation is the most important thing".

Miuratai also gradually discovered that the Shohoku basketball team was just like the "one-man team" described by the intelligence, and the starting players were not a concern except for Akagi Takenori.

Therefore, under the special arrangement of Kengo Murasame, the method of double-teaming Akagi was adopted:

The No. 8 center Kawasaki Akio was the main force, focusing on guarding Akagi Takenori. Once Akagi got the ball, the No. 7 shooting guard Takatsu Hiroshi and the No. 6 small forward Miyamoto Kazusei assisted in double-teaming Akagi.

Miuradai's strategy was still very effective. Only 2 minutes and 10 seconds into the first half, the Xiangbei basketball team was 4:16 behind Miuradai, which further strengthened the confidence of the people in Miuradai.

At the same time, the Ryonan players who were watching the game were quite confident in Xiangbei.

After all, Xiangbei basketballThe team did not play with a complete lineup. Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede did not play. In addition, there were mysterious men A and B.

In the eyes of Ryonan's best intelligence officer Aida Hikoichi, the four people on the Shohoku bench were like a fire, burning with flames!

But compared with the four people on the bench, Kakuta, Shiozaki, and Yasuda on the court at this time felt a bit self-destructive.

They were even more looking forward to Hanamichi and others on the bench to replace them as soon as possible. The team's momentum had completely lost to Miuratai.

Murasame took this opportunity to pretend to be loud and further hit the Shohoku basketball team:

"Don't waste time in this place, let's beat Shohoku in one go, and then complete revenge on Hainan! Go!"

The players of Miuratai also gained confidence after hearing this, and responded loudly to their captain's "victory declaration".

Akagi and Mugure, the only two normal players of Shohoku on the court, saw this and confirmed each other's eyes. It was the same scene as last year!

So the efforts of the captain and vice-captain began!

First, Mugure used Akagi's rebounding ability to play a second attack under the basket, but Akagi was fouled by the opponent and was given a free throw. Although Akagi made two free throws, it did not improve his momentum much, and Miuratai quickly recovered 2 points.

Then Akagi dribbled the ball and attacked. It should be said that a big guy about 2 meters tall dribbled at high speed. This posture scared Miuratai's No. 8 center Kawasaki Akio and No. 7 shooting guard Takatsuhiro who were guarding the basket. When Akagi attracted the attention of the two to himself, he cleverly passed the ball to Mugure on the side in the air.

Kawasaki Akio and Takatsuhiro subconsciously followed the ball and ran towards Mugure, relaxing the defense against Akagi.

Thus, an amazing aerial relay was born:

After receiving the ball, Mumu used the floor's reflection to bounce the ball into the air near the basket, and then Akagi jumped seamlessly, holding the basketball firmly with both hands, and using the inertia of the jump, smashed the ball into the basket.

In basketball games, there are often several ways to greatly boost the morale of the team:

One is to score by dunking; the second is to score three consecutive three-pointers; the third is to block the opponent.

And the most suitable way for the Xiangbei basketball team at the moment is to use the wonderful cooperation to let the "gorilla" dunk.

This "gorilla dunk" completely activated the vitality of the other players of the Xiangbei basketball team on the court. Their movements returned to normal levels, and they were no longer nervous, and gradually adapted to the rhythm of Miuratai.

The most obvious reaction is that the players of Miuratai feel that the Xiangbei players against them are getting more and more difficult!

However, no matter how difficult it is, Xiangbei is not the opponent of Miuratai at the moment. Miuratai also saw that Xiangbei's offensive coordination mainly relied on Akagi and Mugure, so they strengthened the defense of the two of them.

Especially Miuratai's No. 6 small forward Miyamoto Kazunari, in the following time, completely restricted Mugure, completely blocked Mugure's shooting and passing direction to Akagi, and still scored with jump shots under the defense of Mugure, and occasionally participated in double-teaming Akagi.

In addition, Xiangbei dug too big a hole in the front and fell behind by more than ten points.

It is difficult to catch up with the lineup on the field alone.

Therefore, when it was impossible to equalize the score on the field, after the Xiangbei problem children's army expressed thorough reflection, Coach Anxi took advantage of a dead ball opportunity and waved his hand, no, he stood up and signaled to the referee: Four up and four down!

Open the gate, the tiger is out of the cage!
