NBA: This flower path is a bit strong

Coach Tanaka then said:

"Although the goal was scored by Rukawa, the key figure who really cracked Shoyo's pick-and-roll tactics was Hanamichi! That's what you're talking about, Sendo!"

"Yes, in my opinion, Hanamichi (Sakuragi), who is physically fit and athletic... no... should be said to have amazing athletic talent, can bring greater threats to opponents to a certain extent!" Sendo said solemnly.

Rukawa scored the free throw steadily, 70:67, in the last 5 minutes of the game, Shohoku took a 3-point lead.

The Shoyo players were a little panicked by Hanamichi's breaking of the pick-and-roll tactics just now, and then by Rukawa's "2+1"!

Looking at the eyes of the players, Fujima couldn't think of a good way for a while!

"The little bully under the basket (Sakuragi) Hanamichi and the scoring superstar Rukawa Kaede! Once Xiangbei forms a line with these two, then..."

The more Fujima thought about it, the more scared he became. But now the whole team is looking at him, he must not show his fear, so he pretended to be calm and shouted loudly:

"The game is not over yet, we still have time! Hanagata!"

"Yes, captain."

So Fujima and Hanagata took the lead in launching a counterattack.

But as Fujima's old rival for three years, Maki Shinichi of the Hainan team who was watching the game saw something wrong from Fujima's expression:

"Fujima is starting to panic!"

A Shen also said at the right time:

"It seems that everyone in Xiangyang is also frightened by the power of the two freshmen of Xiangbei! Kiyota?"

"It's just a coincidence!"

Kiyota Nobunaga was stubborn.

…

Shoyo was controlled by Fujima, and continued to use the pick-and-roll tactics just now, but this time it was Takano who did the pick-and-roll, and Hanamichi was replaced by Fujima.

When Hanamichi was defending Fujima, he seized the opportunity to launch a "hum hum" defense!

Originally, Fujima wanted to break through Hanamichi and score this goal to boost his momentum.

But seeing Hanamichi's impeccable defense, he had to pass the ball to Takano on the other side.

After receiving the ball, Takano dribbled one step, then stood up and jumped near the penalty area.

And in this short step, Hanamichi had seized the opportunity and returned to Takano's side.

Another block destroyed Fujima's carefully planned attack this time.

After receiving a pass from Miyagi, Mitsui made a three-pointer, widening the score to 6 points.

Shoyo was completely in chaos!

Compared with Fujima playing the whole game, Shohoku's (Sakuragi) Hanamichi ran all over the court.

At this critical moment, he still had enough energy to complete the "hum hum" defense, which really shocked the Shoyo players and the audience.

"That red-haired guy!"

"The defense is like a wall, it's simply indestructible!"

"It's amazing, Hanamichi!"

Faced with Haruko's encouragement, Hanamichi, who successfully defended, put his hands on his hips and made a victory celebration gesture.

Aida Hikoichi outside the court saw that Shohoku was so powerful, and (Sakuragi) Hanamichi was so powerful that he not only defended Shoyo's ace Fujima alone, but also assisted and defended several people back and forth. He was running all over the court, just like a team wandering in the restricted area.

So he compared the two and said in a panic:

"Not good, very bad! If we meet Shohoku in the joint finals, will it be more difficult than the last practice match!"

Coach Tanaoka said calmly:

"Don't make a fuss, Hikoichi! Shohoku is indeed very strong, and (Sakuragi) Hanamichi's defensive ability is indeed good, but this is related to the shortcomings of Shoyo players!"

"Look carefully, except for Fujima and Hanagata, the other tall players of Shoyo have no outside shooting ability at all. They can only shoot near the restricted area, and this gives (Sakuragi) Hanamichi an opportunity! It also shows how powerful Hanamichi is!"

"I see."

Hikoichi Aida made a brief comparison and felt relieved.

But there was one thing that Coach Tanaoka hadn't said:

"Even so, Hanamichi (Sakuragi), who can quickly sweep the entire restricted area and even quickly rush outside the restricted area, is also the nightmare of every inside team!"

In the last 4 minutes or so, Shoyo was like experiencing a nightmare.

Their pick-and-roll tactics were frequently blocked, and their offensive efficiency was greatly reduced.

Except for Fujima and Hanagata, who had a long-range shooting range and could score after the pick-and-roll, the other three were all tightly guarded by Shohoku, and they couldn't score a single goal, but gave Hanamichi 3 blocks.

On the Shohoku side, as Mitsui and Rukawa's physical strength gradually decreased, their offensive efficiency also began to decline, and their hit rate decreased.

But with Hanamichi and Akagi, two rebounding machines, there is stillIt can effectively guarantee secondary rebounds and secondary attacks, but the time spent on scoring is extended.

"Beep!"

As Hanagata's three-pointer missed the target, the whistle sounded to end the game.

Xiangbei finally defeated Shoyo 85:70 and won the ticket to the county joint finals.

Xiangbei's summer is not over yet, and the next game will be more difficult.

The match with Shoyo was the first game that Xiangbei did not score 100 points.

Xiangbei's highest score was Rukawa Kaede, who scored 26 points;

The second highest score was Mitsui, who made 6 three-pointers and scored 21 points (one of the three free throws was made).

As for Hanamichi, he scored a total of 18 points.

Although the score was not much, judging from the "ding" reminder sound that the basketball data panel kept sending in my mind, the first stage of the "ambition to dominate the country" mission has been completed.

It looks like a big harvest!

The two teams lined up to salute, and after Fujima left the field in tears, everyone in Xiangbei fell into a sea of ​​celebration.

"At least for now, let me enjoy the joy of victory!"

So Hanamichi closed the data panel and rushed towards the Sakuragi Army.

And Coach Tanoka made the final judgment on this game:

"Fujima's era is over! The rule of Shoyo and Kainan will suffer the greatest impact, and Kanagawa will fall into the Warring States period again!"
