When Oda Ryumasa returned to defense, he gently patted Sawahira Sanji on the shoulder and said, "I was slow to react just now. Shoot when you have a chance next time. Don't hesitate because of this block."

Hanamichi also said beside him, "Sawahira and everyone, just do your best to attack, and leave the rebounds to me."

When everyone saw their captain and Hanamichi say this, they immediately had the idea of ​​winning the game, especially Sawahira Sanji. Normally, this block should affect the decisiveness of the next shot, but because of the words of the two of them, he relaxed and decided from the bottom of his heart that he must perform well on the court next time to make up for the mistake just now.

This time it was Fuqiu Middle School's turn to attack. As expected, it was still Rukawa Kaede holding the ball to attack. At this time, he slowly dribbled the ball close to the three-point line of the half court of Wako Middle School, and the speed of dribbling the ball was gradually increasing.

Oda Ryumasa had already experienced Rukawa Kaede's dribbling skills, so he didn't dare to reach out and steal the ball easily.

"Here it comes," Hanamichi shouted involuntarily when Rukawa's dribbling speed reached its peak, but this sound obviously could not remind Oda Ryumasa, who did not react at all, and let Rukawa break through half a body.

But fortunately, this time, Oda Ryumasa did not give up the defense and quickly followed from behind.

However, Rukawa was at the long two-point position at this time, stopped the ball at a very fast speed, gently pulled the ball back, and stood up to jump shot with both hands.

Oda Ryumasa could not stop for a while, so he had to stop as soon as possible, but he could not keep up with Rukawa's rhythm. He could only watch Rukawa slowly aim at the basket in the air and gently push the ball into the basket.

With a "swish", the ball went in.

The two sides were temporarily tied, 4:4, and they were at the same starting line again, but the right to serve was in the hands of Wako Middle School.

Coach Tiangang was immersed in Rukawa's skillful offensive techniques, while Coach Anxi's eyes lit up and he sighed in his heart for a long time:

"Wow, I haven't seen such a skillful posture for a long time!"

It was Oda who controlled the ball and pushed forward. He found that the opponent, let alone Rukawa, did not come out to defend him. When he dribbled to the three-point line, Rukawa approached to interfere.

"Damn, am I underestimated! Hanamichi, catch the ball!"

Although Oda knew that he was underestimated, he still decided to proceed according to the plan. At this time, his team had not reached the point where he had to go all out. And if he attacked rashly and was stopped by Rukawa, it would have a great impact on the momentum of his team!

So although Oda Ryumasa wanted to show off and attack independently, he still passed the ball to Hanamichi!

Hanamichi heard Oda's voice in the penalty area and immediately took action. He moved his left foot slightly outward, and took advantage of the gap left by his left foot to quickly get in and firmly plant his heel. He leaned his shoulder to the side, and with his static physical fitness, he firmly stuck the 180cm tall No. 11 center of Fuqiu Middle School behind him, and then stretched out his left hand to catch the ball. His right hand was close to the side of the basket at this time.

After receiving the ball, Hanamichi did not dribble. He leaned back slightly, carefully feeling the distance between the No. 11 center and himself, and then jumped up calmly with this tentative rebound force. The center of Fuqiu Middle School was suppressed by Hanamichi's power and had no time to jump. He could only stretch out his right hand desperately after Hanamichi jumped, and jump with him, trying to touch the basketball raised in Hanamichi's hand, or at least interfere with the latter's shot.

But after jumping, he found that the distance between his palm that interfered with Hanamichi's shooting and the basketball in Hanamichi's hand was getting bigger and bigger as the time of the two jumping passed.

"What an amazing physical fitness, Coach Anzai!" Tian Gangshi couldn't help but praise.

"Oh wow wow..."

After Hanamichi almost reached the highest point, he shot the basketball in his hand towards the basket he aimed at, and the basketball went in.

Hanamichi was sure of this shot under the basket. He didn't know how many times he had practiced such a shot in the past year or so. In particular, the 75-point shot under the basket was particularly reliable in the face of the open shot in front of him, which could basically be regarded as unguarded.

Next, the two teams kept pulling back and forth between two points and four points. Whenever Rukawa recovered two points, Oda could always find the right opportunity to pass the ball in time. Several times, he passed the ball to Hanamichi or others, and they could seize the opportunity to shoot and score.

Although there were times when he didn't make the shot, Rukawa also didn't reach a 100% outside hit rate. Hanamichi's constant defense and assist defense in the restricted area alone brought Rukawa a certain amount of pressure.

Especially Hanamichi's height and body shape are not inferior to Rukawa Kaede, and even his weight isStill above Rukawa, Hanamichi used his defensive advantage, not afraid of wasting energy, and moved back and forth, constantly affecting Rukawa's shooting feel and posture.

Of course, with an active defensive attitude and active defensive actions, it is inevitable that Sakuragi Hanamichi has committed three fouls ten minutes into the first half.

But Hanamichi's efforts were not in vain, and Oda Ryumasa's plan was half successful: Rukawa was also sweating at this time, and was actively replenishing water while sitting on a chair during the halftime break.

In 1990, the basketball games in middle schools and high schools in Japan only had the first and second halves, each half lasting 20 minutes, and the halftime break was 15 minutes.

In the first half, Wako Junior High School used Oda Ryumasa to pull Rukawa out of the restricted area, allowing the rest of the teammates to launch an attack. Once Rukawa returned to defense, Oda shot from mid-range and long distances, and the effect was pretty good.

At halftime, the score between the two teams was 26:24, and Wako Junior High School temporarily led by 2 points.

"Oda, I will defend Rukawa in the second half," Hanamichi volunteered during the halftime break:

"We have played for 20 minutes, I think the fox should have figured out our strategy. Instead of letting him find a way to break it, we should change our strategy. You will attack in the interior in the second half, and I will defend. Anyway, I don't think the fox has enough energy, so let me give him the last blow."

"Hanachi, Rukawa is in your hands. If you keep him busy, we will definitely win. We must make it to the finals!"

Oda Ryumasa was tempted by Hanamichi's suggestion. You should know that in the first half, Rukawa scored 18 points and 4 rebounds by himself, while he, who was also the captain, only scored 6 points. His performance was obviously inferior to Rukawa. Although Oda also had 3 assists, because Wako Middle School kept transferring the ball, Oda rarely had direct assists. Even Hanamichi scored 8 points and 6 rebounds because of his constant attack on the basket, and his data was better than his own. (Junior high school students shoot more and their accuracy is a little worse, so they get a little more rebounds)

"Leave it to me, I have found the weakness of that fox...", Sakuragi Hanamichi was already impatient to start the second half, walking back and forth beside the rest seat, unable to hold back the excitement in his heart.

"Hehe! Finally I found a chance to defeat you, the fox, don't blame me, just think of it as fulfilling the original owner (Sakuragi) Hanamichi's dream in his previous life."

Hanachi's active movements obviously couldn't be stopped, and this scene did not escape Coach Anxi's 360-degree holographic titanium glasses. Compared with Rukawa Kaede who was actively replenishing water while sitting in his seat, Hanamichi's performance at this time was more like a "freshness"!

"Yes, it's fresh, oh wow!"

Tanaka Shigeichi didn't hear Coach Anzai's mumbling clearly, so he asked, "Coach Anzai, what did you say just now?"

"Oh, nothing, Tanaka, I mean the sea bream fillet we ate last night was really fresh, oh wow!"

Coach Anzai was careless and didn't plan to explain too much.

Seeing this, Coach Tanaka didn't think too much and turned his attention to the basketball court, because at this time, the second half of the game was ready to officially begin.
