NBA: This flower path is a bit strong

For the first time, Akagi Takenori left the court with strong reluctance.

He sat heavily on the bench, covering his head with a towel.

The opportunity to challenge the champion Hainan, which he had dreamed of for three years, was "screwed" just like that!

Akagi was "forced" to foul twice and had to leave the court just after the start of the game for more than two minutes. He was really unwilling.

Hanagata, who is also one of the three centers in Kanagawa, can understand Akagi's feelings at this time. He said to Fujima beside him:

"So this is what you mean by getting rid of the game!"

Fujima looked at Akagi on the bench calmly and said seriously:

"Yes, that's it! There are all kinds of teams in the national competition. If Akagi or Xiangbei can't adapt to these tricks in advance, they will suffer a great loss! You still remember Touou High School? Their methods are more cruel than this!"

"Xiangbei defeated our Xiangyang, participated in the joint finals, and may even be on the stage of the national competition. Then it's time to be qualified to understand these things."

"But from the current point of view, Coach Anxi did not take the initiative to teach them these little conspiracies on the court."

Facing the unwilling Akagi, Coach Anxi did not sit back in his chair with the cup after arranging the substitution. Instead, he came to Akagi and said lightly:

"Akagi, don't give up easily! Occasionally, you can also try to believe in your teammates!"

"Coach Anxi?"

Akagi looked up at him.

Coach Anzai smiled and said:

"This game won't end so easily. You should sit here and observe the situation on the court. Believe in the strength of your teammates!"

"Yes!" Akagi looked up and said.

For some reason, Coach Anzai's words were so calm and peaceful, even soothing. Just two simple sentences made Akagi regain his confidence from his secret self-blame. Back then it was Mitsui, and now it's Akagi.

Mugure, who was substituted in, entered the court with the latest instructions from Coach Anzai. He patted Hanamichi on the shoulder and said:

"Coach Anzai asked you to replace Akagi. The tactics will remain unchanged. You will launch an offensive in the interior! Remember it? The little bully under the basket!"

Mugure was also worried that everyone's spirit would be hit and their morale would be shaken after Akagi left the court. And because of Akagi's departure, the pressure on both ends of the interior offense and defense of Xiangbei would increase, especially Hanamichi, who was the most affected.

So when Coach Anzai asked him to bring this sentence up to Hanamichi, he was still worried that Hanamichi would not adapt or even face a lot of pressure.

Unexpectedly, Hanamichi was slightly stunned after hearing this. He didn't expect his father to bring this instruction, but! He looked at Kazuma Takasago, who was almost as tall as him, and then clenched his fist, the most confident gesture, and said loudly:

"Of course, the bottom of the basket is my world!"

Rukawa Kaede, Mitsui, and Miyagi all looked at Hanamichi.

"Hehe, this kid is really confident." ~ Mitsui

"He is a person who is not afraid of anything!" ~ Miyagi

"Ah~" ~Rukawa Kaede.

...

The game started again, and Hainan launched the attack.

However, a very magical thing happened at the scene. It was nothing for the 178cm Murasaki to defend the 184cm Muto Masaru, but when Hanamichi and Kazuma Takasago were wrestling in the paint, the substitutes of Xiangbei discovered:

"Has Hanamichi grown taller again? I just compared him and found that he is much taller than Rukawa!"

"Stupid, he is 3cm taller than Rukawa."

"But, it seems that he is a little taller than the center of Hainan, and don't you think he has become stronger?"

"Hmm~ Now that you mention it, it seems so!"

Ayako murmured:

"Kainan's center Kazuma Takasago is 191cm, it seems that Hanamichi should be a little taller than him , it seems that he has grown taller during this period. Anyway, at least Hanamichi is more advantageous in the inside competition! "

Coach Anzai took over the conversation and said:

"If Hainan wants to drive Akagi away and then use double-team tactics against Hanamichi, it would be a big mistake! His rebounding and inside skills have grown to the top level in the country after the match with Shoyo, plus his body is developing rapidly. There is no doubt that Hanamichi is the best choice for the top power forward in the inside!"

Ayako, Akagi and the entire bench of Xiangbei were surprised after hearing this. They didn't expect that Coach Anzai, a former Japanese national player, who has been engaged in basketball for decades and has seen countless people, would give (Sakuragi) Hanamichi such a high evaluation!

"That guy!" Akagi thought of the bits and pieces of offense and defense with Hanamichi in the team, and finally put his mind at ease, and sincerely exhorted:

"I'll leave it to you, (Sakuragi) Hanamichi!"

On the court, the Xiangbei team is stillIt was a traditional man-to-man defense. Maki Shinichi carefully observed for a long time and finally decided to do it himself.

After all, the biggest difference between the enemy and us was the position of the point guard!

Miyagi Ryouta looked at Maki Shinichi, whose momentum suddenly changed, and his heart was in his throat again. At least from the beginning, Maki Shinichi had not yet exerted his full strength.

"The number one player in Kanagawa high school basketball, maybe he will start to show his power now!"

At this time, Maki Shinichi suddenly accelerated his dribbling and broke through from the left side of Miyagi. Unlike the previous front-body change, this time, the strong Maki Shinichi did not even have any fake moves, but simply broke through Miyagi with speed.

Of course, this does not mean that Miyagi's speed is absolutely slower than Amu, but because Amu is on the side with the ball, when breaking through on the offensive end, he can break through Miyagi's defense and get enough space with his quick first step and strong body.

This space was so large that after Hanamichi got rid of Takasago's blocking, he had no time to completely block Amu from the penalty area. He could only watch Maki Shinichi's shot from the free throw line go into the bag steadily!

Maki Shinichi landed heavily on the ground, clenched his right fist, and shouted wildly at Hanamichi: "Ola (good)!"

Then he turned back to defend.

"That Amu actually challenged Hanamichi!"

Hanachi looked at the back of No. 4 who was going back to defense, and his burning eyes seemed to be about to spit out excited flames:

"Interesting, is this a declaration of war!"

In fact, Hanamichi, who had just gotten rid of Takasago, could have tried to absolutely block Maki Shinichi if he tried his best.

But with Akagi's previous experience, and knowing that Amu had this record, he did not try to absolutely block it, but only did some standard interference defense actions. Unexpectedly, he was provoked by Amu!

"I want to fight back!"

It is not Hanamichi's style not to fight back after being provoked.

Like Akagi, Hanamichi's strength, speed, height and even weight are all above Takasago, but there is a decisive difference between Hanamichi and Akagi, that is, as a power forward, Hanamichi's footwork and lateral speed under the basket are definitely higher than those of ordinary centers.

Especially since he came to this era, Hanamichi has positioned himself as a power forward and has practiced footwork under the basket every day.

Facing Takasago, who can easily commit fouls by faking falls, although Hanamichi was excited after accepting the challenge from Maki Shinichi, he was not impulsive, and he did not intend to use his 97 points of strength to suppress Takasago to win.

After receiving the pass in the interior with his back to the basket, Hanamichi used his left foot as the axis, faked a left hand, and made a sign of breaking through to his left hand.

As the starting center of Hainan, Takasago still has this reaction, so his center of gravity shifted to the left.

At this time, Hanamichi quickly turned right and opened up a half-body space between him and Takasago.

At this time, Hanamichi was already facing the basket and had distanced himself from Takasago. Then he took a big step forward with his right foot and landed behind Takasago. Then, he used his strong body to cover Takasago behind him. Then, he used his speed to jump directly in three steps. It was not a layup, but a powerful slam dunk.

Hanamichi's 91-point slam dunk value plus 97-point strength, when he exerted his full strength, the result was that Hainan's basket made a "squeaking" sound.

Hanamichi used the opponent's ravaged basket to respond to Maki Shinichi's challenge: "I will definitely win this game."
