NBA: This flower path is a bit strong

In the second half, seeing Xiangbei replace Akagi, everyone in Ryonan breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that even Xiangbei can't handle such a physically demanding run-and-gun tactic, and they can't run the entire half court!"

Basketball Weekly intern reporter Nakamura expressed his opinion on Xiangbei's active substitution.

Seeing the confident faces of Xiangbei, Yayoi Aida did not comment on Nakamura's words:

"Maybe, but in the national competition, I believe Xiangbei can definitely run the entire half court."

"After the battles with Shoyo, Kainan, and Ryonan, it has been proven without a doubt that Xiangbei's [run-and-gun tactic] is very tricky, and it may be able to compete with Sanno's famous tactic."

"Beep!" The second half of the game started again.

This time, Yuzumi won the jump ball. Although he had consumed his energy in the first half, he fulfilled his promise in the locker room, and the next step was to look at the ace Sendoh.

Sendou, who was holding the ball, didn't understand why the first-year super rookie Rukawa in front of him showed an amazing momentum just after a halftime break, as if he was going to eat him.

However, Sendou just smiled at this. After all, his original plan was to chase points, and Rukawa's more serious response was just what he wanted.

Sendou dribbled past the opponent, and when he was about to break through Rukawa, his center of gravity suddenly moved up, and his hands were in a ball-holding posture, like a preparatory action for a sudden stop jump shot.

Rukawa was stunned by this, and his center of gravity also moved up, preparing for a jump block.

At this time, Sendou perfectly took advantage of this gap, quickly bent over and broke through Rukawa, leaving the latter stunned.

It can only be said that Sendou had intentions and calculated Rukawa's unintentional.

After breaking through Rukawa, Sendou decisively jumped and scored near the free throw line.

"It was a close call, he almost blocked it!"

Sendoh looked at Hanamichi. If he took one more step forward, Hanamichi who came to assist would be able to effectively block Sendoh.

Fortunately, after the practice match, he had already taken precautions against Hanamichi.

Kazuo Karasawa gave Sendoh a very high evaluation of this breakthrough:

"First, he used his own rhythm to mobilize the rhythm of the defender, and then took the opportunity to break through."

"It is a very beautiful combination of man and ball. In terms of breakthrough alone, he does have the capital to compete with Sanno's Zebei Rongzhi."

Sendoh's goal seemed to set the tone for the second half. The whole scene was extremely hot, as if a raging fire was burning, making people's blood boil.

The enthusiasm of the audience gushed out like a volcanic eruption, and it was uncontrollable.

Cheers, shouts and cheers resounded through the sky, one after another, interweaving into an exciting symphony.

The atmosphere on the scene was tense and exciting. Everyone was immersed in it and enjoyed this passionate moment.

Facing Sendo's goal, Rukawa on the opposite side was extremely cold, and his whole body exuded chill.

"I must catch up!"

He now had only one thought, I want to score, blow up Sendo, and widen the gap!

Next was Rukawa's attack, and the one defending him was his "old junior high school rival" - the freshman Oda Ryumasa who was good at both offense and defense.

Although Oda Ryumasa's defense was better than Fukuda Yoshitaka's, it was obviously not enough to face Rukawa who was now exuding the desire to attack.

Rukawa deceived Oda with a simple change of direction to the left.

Then Rukawa dribbled leisurely from the right to the 45° mid-range, and in front of Sendo who was defending, he made a quick stop and pulled the ball under his crotch, and then easily shot and hit.

"Hey! The score is widened again, what should you do?"

Rukawa deliberately said to Sendo who was looking at the scoreboard.

Sendo smiled slightly when he heard this, but a crazy and willful idea emerged in his mind!

Do it when you think of it! Next, Sendoh completely switched positions with Oda, playing as a small forward against Rukawa on both offense and defense.

He first responded to Rukawa with the same action, which was quite provocative.

Then, when Rukawa dribbled past him twice, Sendoh accidentally knocked down Rukawa's dribbles with his hand.

"You are just like me last year. Although you have great offensive power, you have a fatal weakness."

"It seems that you don't understand the true mission of the ace!"

"Weakness?"

"Mission?"

Rukawa was shocked when he heard this.

Sendoh pretended to be mysterious, but seeing how confidently he defended Rukawa, it was obviously not a bluff.

As Rukawa's offense was blocked at the beginning of the second half, the score on the field was reduced from 65:55 to 10 points.

Sendoh in front of him was undoubtedly due toIn order to enter the national competition, and because of the absence of coach Tanaka, he truly took on the responsibility of an ace.

Although he is also willful in some aspects, he has completely activated his talent. Now he is a player at the same level as Sanno's Zebei Rongzhi.

"Rukawa is in trouble now. Why doesn't this fool understand! The difficulty of defending a three-threat is definitely higher than that of defending a two-threat!"

Hanamichi sighed. It seems that he can't let this "sleepyhead" continue to be willful.

Before he understands this truth, Hanamichi decided to do it himself.

"Xiao Gong!"

Hanamichi used his body to block Fukuda behind him one step outside the penalty area, and stretched out his right hand to ask for the ball.

Miyagi also saw that Rukawa was not in good shape, and thought to himself:

"I have to find another way to open up the situation. Although Fukuda is about the same height and weight as Rukawa, his defense is really bad. Let's start with him!"

Just when Hanamichi wanted the ball, Miyagi also gave him the ball from the heart.

Seeing the ball in Hanamichi's hands, Rukawa was also unhappy.

But there was nothing he could do, he also knew that he was at a disadvantage.

Seeing this, Sendoh continued to use words to control Rukawa:

"As the team's trump card, if you can't score when you need to attack, you are undoubtedly not a qualified trump card."

"In this regard, you lose to Hanamichi!"

Rukawa just focused on his position and used his peripheral vision to observe how Hanamichi handled the ball.

After receiving the ball, Hanamichi turned left flexibly and shook off Fukuda to enter the penalty area.

Facing the oncoming Yuzumi without fear, the [Explosive Layup] skill was activated, and he took two steps against Yuzumi and completed a three-step layup.

At this time, Fukuda behind also caught up and jumped from the side to block the space above Hanamichi's head.

"Too dangerous! Hanamichi." ~ Akagi Haruko.

"Self-destruction!" ~ Fujima.

At this time, no one expected that Hanamichi, who seemed to be using brute force to mess around in the penalty area, actually flexibly hit the ground and passed the ball to Akagi who was in an open position.

Akagi jumped up immediately after getting the ball and dunked with both hands! The ball went in!

Hanamichi, who clapped his hands to celebrate with Akagi amid the cheers of the audience, said to Yuzumi and Fukuda with a double meaning:

"I am not a reckless man who has run out of tricks. I only know two ways, dribbling and scoring..."

A glimmer of light flashed in Rukawa's eyes, as if he understood something, but he had not fully grasped it!

"Two ways?"

Sendoh looked at Rukawa who seemed to have realized something, and said to himself:

"Oh no, I'm giving fuel to the person who was already the focus of attention!"

So Sendoh didn't care about what hints his offensive method would give Rukawa.

Then he directly used a strange lateral step, and when Yuzumi was picking and rolling, he shook off Rukawa's defense and attacked directly to the free throw line.

After attracting Hanamichi's backup defense, he decisively passed the ball to Fukuda who was in an open position.

Fukuda didn't stick to the ball. He looked at Sendoh who was still running in the open space and got rid of Hanamichi's defense by running without the ball, and passed it back directly.

Sendoh, who got the ball again, had bypassed Hanamichi at this time and made a layup and easily scored the ball.

"Wow!"

"It's wonderful!"

"This is the genius Sendoh!"

The audience was boiling.

Aida Hikoichi looked at his own ace who was gradually changing the situation on the court, and his heart was also very calm. Like the players on the bench, he showed a firm look:

"There is still hope, as long as the genius Sendoh is here, we have hope!"

Tanaoka Shigeichi was also comforted by Ryonan's unyielding and unyielding spirit.

He went to Tokyo to poach Sendoh on the recommendation of a friend, and it was a good deal.

"In this year's national competition, we Ryonan must make a big fuss!"
