Next, Hainan's offense, this time, Amu did not call for Takasago's pick-and-roll, but directly passed the ball from the left to Takasago in the interior.

He wanted Takasago to test Hanamichi's strength, at least, to see if Takasago could fight back on the offensive end.

After Takasago got the ball, he dribbled back once and twice, and then still backed up to the basket. He found that he could not push Hanamichi at all.

Hanamichi gave him a more solid feeling than Akagi. If Akagi's defense is as heavy as "unmovable as a mountain" in the art of war, then Hanamichi's defense is like a piece of iron plate, although it is very weak, but it has an indestructible hardness!

Although it seems that Hanamichi is not as strong as Akagi, in fact, in this offensive confrontation, Takasago knew that his back-to-the-basket plan was completely hopeless!

So Takasago wanted to turn around and face the basket to attack, but at the moment of turning around and dribbling, Hanamichi saw the opportunity and tapped his basketball with his hand.

Then Hanamichi took the ball and launched a fast break to Hainan's half court!

Xiangbei's fast break trio can be said to be very fast. This time, Hanamichi dribbled the ball in front of him, with only his teammates Miyagi and Rukawa on both sides.

"Great! Xiangbei's fast break trio, their speed is unmatched!"

"Amu!"

With the shout of Coach Gaotou, Maki Shinichi went around Hanamichi at the speed of light, stood in the penalty area, and was ready to intercept!

"I'll block you right here!"

Amu looked at Hanamichi who didn't slow down at all and made up his mind secretly.

Hanamichi ignored Rukawa and Miyagi Ryouta's requests for the ball.

"I want to defeat you, defeat Kanagawa's No. 1!"

Hanamichi rushed to a position one step inside the free throw line at a very fast speed, then tensed his whole body, like a bow, pulled it to the full, and stretched out his right hand holding the ball completely.

"It's a slam dunk!"

Akagi Haruko couldn't help but say when she saw Hanamichi's posture.

"This first-year kid actually dunked in front of Amu!"

Murasame said in surprise, "He really doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!"

Hanamichi's jump height was very high, but because he was a certain distance away from the basket, when Maki Shinichi jumped with all his strength, Hanamichi didn't jump to the highest point at all.

So Amu had the opportunity to defend and intercept in the air, but Maki Shinichi didn't block the basketball in his hand, but went directly to the back of Hanamichi's hand when he was holding the ball and dunking.

Was this Amu's mistake? No! Maki Shinichi knew very well that Hanamichi, who had already jumped up with all his strength, didn't have enough confidence to block his dunk with his own strength and explosive power.

So he had to settle for the second best and adopt a foul tactic to stop his attack!

And just when Maki Shinichi's palm was about to touch Hanamichi's right hand when he blocked the shot.

Suddenly, Hanamichi retracted his right hand, which was raised high for the dunk, to his chest, then held the ball with both hands, slightly turned his body, and took advantage of the potential energy of his jump to pass by Maki Shinichi who was jumping vertically on the spot, then raised his left arm and slammed the basketball into the basket again.

"Bang!"

The ball went in, leaving behind the afterimage of Hanamichi's right-hand dunk in the air.

"What?"

Maki Shinichi was shocked.

The audience at the scene also discussed enthusiastically:

"What? What is that move!"

"Shohoku's No. 10 changed several moves in the air!"

"That was a mid-air folding dunk with a change of hands! There is probably no other high school student who can do this in actual combat!"

"Hanamichi~Hanamichi~..."

The audience cheered for him, which was the biggest cheer so far in the game.

Looking at Hanamichi who was the center of attention, Akagi Haruko recalled the scene when she first met Hanamichi:

"You are indeed the savior of Xiangbei! You have become stronger and stronger!"

Miyagi and Mitsui surrounded Hanamichi, celebrating his slam dunk with a hint of jealousy.

And Hanamichi knew that he had made a small change to the pull-up slam dunk posture of Rukawa Kaede in the original work!

Originally, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was 188cm tall, could do the pull-up slam dunk like Rukawa Kaede, not to mention himself now with a comprehensive improvement in height and wingspan.

Privately, Hanamichi had actually practiced this slam dunk action. It can only be said that this action made by the 91-point slam dunk attribute may not be as smooth as Rukawa Kaede in terms of beauty.

But it is more violent, and this is why the audience's adrenaline suddenly surged.

"Middle-aged man, do you think I will wait for you to block the shot in the air!"

Hanamichi said frankly.

"Beep! Hainan requests a timeout!"

More than 5 minutes into the first half, Hainan's coach Gao Tou called for a timeout for the first time, and Xiangbei lost the gold medal under the basket.In the case of the gorilla Akagi, he still fought with Hainan and took the advantage.

Especially the dunk by Hanamichi just now, which was scored against the Emperor Mu of Kanagawa, brought a huge impact to both teams.

At this time, the score was 12:7, and Xiangbei led by 5 points.

"Hehe! Hehehe..."

Hanachi was in a good mood, and walked towards Xiangbei's bench with a step of not recognizing relatives, accepting everyone's praise and encouragement.

On the other side, the coach Gaotou of the Hainan team was furious:

"How many points do you want that first-year kid to score? Takasago!"

"Yes!"

Takasago heard the name, responded reflexively, and then a faint light flashed in his eyes, and said:

"I won't let him be proud for too long, coach!"

Coach Gaotou stared at Takasago Kazuma's eyes, um! After confirming with his eyes that it was the person who did this, he said calmly:

"To protect yourself, teach the things you saw in the national competition to the first-year juniors of Xiangbei!"

Maki Shinichi also said seriously:

"Takasago, your movements are too gentle. If Xiangbei wants to enter the national competition, it needs to understand these things. Flowers in a greenhouse can't go far."

"Listen carefully, those standing on the court are enemies. We don't do things that violate sports ethics, but we don't need you to protect your opponents too much. Do you understand?"

"Yes! ×15".

The collective response of the Hainan team reached Xiangbei, and Mitsui said:

"Hainan is quite capable! I didn't expect that morale would be restored so quickly."

Akagi reminded:

"Of course, the opponent is the king of Kanagawa, of course he will not give up easily, and will definitely pursue Xiangbei next."

Hanamichi said confidently: "In this case, it will be more interesting to defeat Hainan, right! Gorillas, leave it to me next, that Takasago is not my opponent at all."

After these attacks and defenses, Akagi also completely believed in Hanamichi, so he nodded and said:

"Well, pay attention to your movements and don't foul!"

Ayako whispered to Rukawa Kaede who was replenishing water with a notebook:

"There are still 5 minutes!"

"Yes, senior sister..."

It seems that these two are making some plans.

Only Coach Anxi heard a hint of murderous intent from the roars of Hainan, so he began to make arrangements:

"Mitsui, you can open fire from the outside to share the pressure from the inside. As for Hanamichi, everything remains the same!"

"You are the strongest!"

"Oh x5"

The game resumed, and Hainan served.

Looking at the most threatening challenger in front of him, Maki Shinichi recognized Hanamichi's strength.

But in order to win the game, he gave up the short one-on-one attack and defense.

This time, Maki Shinichi dribbled directly and broke through Miyagi's defense. After attracting Hanamichi's backup defense, he passed the ball to Takasago who was unattended, and Takasago turned around and dunked after receiving the ball under the basket.

"Ang!"

Takasago Kazuma, who succeeded in the dunk, also roared and vented his anger.

When it was Xiangbei's turn to attack, before Miyagi dribbled across half court, Maki Shinichi stole the ball from him several times.

Fortunately, Mu Mu supported from the side, and the ball was brought to the front court within 10 seconds.

At the same time, everyone in Xiangbei's position felt that the opponent increased the defensive action and intensity, and this kind of defensive action without the ball happened to be outside the scope of the referee's penalty.

So next, Xiangbei's players felt uncomfortable with every move, as if they were carrying a burden and felt uncomfortable all over.

While they gradually adapted to this change, their physical fitness was gradually declining.

This is the first lesson that Hainan, the champion who has been tested in the national competition for 16 consecutive years, brought to Xiangbei~ The physical energy consumption and defensive intensity of the national-level competition are not comparable to ordinary competitions!
