Xiangbei team was not affected much by Sendoh, after all, the two sides were still 10 points apart.

Except for the temporary change from Rukawa to Hanamichi in the team's offensive choice, no other extra adjustments were made.

Unlike Rukawa's dribbling offense, Hanamichi's efforts made it more difficult for Sendoh to catch up.

Halfway through the second half, Hanamichi's dribbling offense near the penalty area formed a relatively stable situation with Sendoh's dribbling.

Even in the process, Sendoh chose to defend Hanamichi.

In every round, Hanamichi could score with layups, dunks, hooks, spot jumpers, etc.

Or pass the ball to assist teammates, or Akagi scored, or Rukawa!

Similarly, Hanamichi also tried to defend Sendoh alone, but he couldn't do it.

What can I say about Sendoh! Unlike Zebei Rongzhi in the original work, his offense is first-class, but it is still slightly inferior to Zebei's top offensive firepower, especially in personal defense.

The most obvious example is that Zebei can completely block Rukawa Kaede [before awakening] one-on-one, but Sendoh can't!

Sendoh is top-notch in assists, overall view, and vision, which can be seen from Hanamichi's fear of his passes and cuts.

Sendoh also believes that Hanamichi has top-notch inside offensive skills and has a good sense of assists and passes.

The best way to defend is to keep him away from the basket.

Unfortunately, after experiencing Hanamichi's strange power, Sendoh can only sigh that Ryonan does not have such a suitable person who can do it.

Both of them recognized each other's strength and status, and Rukawa Kaede, who was "abandoned" by the two of them and the audience, was mixed at this time.

As the direct beneficiary of Hanamichi's assists, Rukawa Kaede was the most touched at this time.

"It turns out that the real triple threat is this!"

After realizing this, Rukawa Kaede's momentum changed and became slightly softer.

He smiled happily from the bottom of his heart!

Sharp-eyed Hanamichi breathed a sigh of relief:

"Finally I understand! It's worth my personal demonstration!"

Kazuo Karasawa said with a smile:

"It seems that in addition to Sendoh and Hanamichi, there is one more person who has been promoted to the top level in the country!"

"That little guy No. 11 is not bad! In this way, Sanno's Zebei Rongji will have an opponent in this year's national competition!"

At this time, there were 8 minutes left before the end of the game. Xiangbei temporarily led by 9 points and had the ball.

At this time, Hanamichi passed the ball to Rukawa Kaede and said:

"You finally caught up, let Brother Sendoh see your strength!"

After that, Hanamichi took the initiative to open the penalty area and defended with his hips confidently!

And Sendoh looked at Rukawa Kaede, who blew up Oda in the attack with an assist, and showed a happy expression.

Compared to Hanamichi (Sakuragi), who is full of strength and impeccable in the interior, the technical Rukawa is the type he likes to play against.

This reminds him of the good (painful) time he had with Zebei Rongzhi on the wild court.

It's just that the previous pain was Rukawa's, and the beauty was his, but he didn't know what would happen next.

Sendoh, who took the initiative to switch defense with Oda, once again felt the change of the "offensive ghost".

Rukawa took the lead in launching an offensive and jumped high one step before the free throw line.

Seeing this, Sendoh jumped up.

This time he clearly saw Rukawa's right arm and the basketball in his palm. He stretched out his right hand to block the ball from the side.

Unfortunately, just when he was about to block the shot.

Rukawa changed the ball in his right palm to his left hand in a weird passing posture.

Changed the dunk to a layup, and lightly picked it up and scored.

This was the posture Sendoh made when he played against him before.

"Tsk, what a vindictive kid!"

Sendoh thought to himself.

Rukawa's goal this time only shows that he is more confident.

After all, he took advantage of Sendoh and Oda's defense to break through. Whether he broke through that layer of paper and advanced to the top level in the country is still hard to say.

So Sendoh didn't make a fuss about this goal.

But in the next, Sendoh personally defended Rukawa's breakthrough.

Rukawa cleverly passed the ball to Akagi, using Akagi and Yuzumi's huge bodies to block Sendoh.

When he used the small to beat the big, scored the ball, and caused Yuzumi to foul.

Sendoh completely understood that this "offensive ghost" had opened up.

And Ryonan also lost the last chance to tie the score.

As for defeating the Xiangbei team, Hanamichi said that they are both at the top level in the country. If I can lose with a 10-point advantage! I will do that handstand directly...

Kazuo KarasawaThe last game was explained patiently:

"Although they all pursued the ultimate one-on-one, Rukawa clearly used his teammates to convert them into his own positional advantage."

"At this point, there is no doubt that he has embarked on the right path~with his own style and imprint~to the top level in the country!"

"Just like Sendoh and Hanamichi! The young are really formidable."

"Akagi, Uozumi, Sendoh, (Sakuragi) Hanamichi, Rukawa, it is the first time in my coaching career that I can see five national-level basketball players competing on the same stage in the high school arena at the same time!"

The following game was extremely exciting, and both sides fell into a situation of attacking each other in positional warfare.

In the last two minutes, Rukawa held the ball and played against Sendoh. He kept changing the rhythm of dribbling, and suddenly accelerated to the right to break through, and Sendoh pressed the defense.

Rukawa stopped and jumped, made a shooting action, and Sendoh made a great effort to block the shot.

However, this was just a fake move. Rukawa passed the ball to Mitsui Shou at the bottom line. Mitsui Shou took the ball and shot decisively, hitting a three-pointer!

At this time, there was little time left in the game. The Ryonan team adopted a foul tactic, but the Xiangbei team players made the free throws steadily.

In the last 2 minutes of the game, the Xiangbei team led by 13 points.

It can be said that this game is basically a sure win!

The performance of the two teams was very exciting. Every player was fully focused on the game at the last moment, showing their skills and talents to the fullest.

The audience was infected by the tense and exciting atmosphere, and their mood also fluctuated with the rhythm of the game. There was silence on the court, fearing that they would disturb the game of the two teams.

But after all, it is competitive sports, there will always be winners and losers!

"Beep! The game is over, 98:88, Xiangbei team won!"

The referee's final whistle brought a perfect end to the Kanagawa County High School Basketball Selection Tournament that lasted for a month.

After the game, Sendoh and Rukawa smiled at each other. They both learned a lot from each other.

This game was not only a contest between teams, but also a testimony to their growth.

Yes, both Xiangbei and Ryonan felt very satisfied.

First of all, Ryonan's coach Tanaoka found that Sendoh, who had always been lazy in the team, actually took the initiative to take responsibility and truly realized that he was an ace.

Yuzumi also proved that he had the top level in the country and tied with Akagi.

Ryonan realized the dream of entering the national competition.

On the Xiangbei side, I think Coach Anzai will be so excited that he can't sleep after watching the video of this game!

After all, the team has 3 top players at the national level!

If he works harder, maybe... the picture is too beautiful! Dare not think about it~ Dare not think about it...

(Mi-chan and Yoshichika said it's not time yet!)

On the court, Xiangbei and Ryonan were surrounded by their own players, enjoying the celebration of everyone on the scene!

A new champion of Kanagawa Prefecture has emerged. Although it is not appropriate to say so, this time it is still a scene of two heroes standing side by side!

At least from the strength shown by Xiangbei and Ryonan, other teams in the county are not their opponents at all, especially after the graduation of high school students this year.

Xiangbei players and Ryonan players saluted at the signal of the referee, and Akagi and Yuzumi simply hugged their heads and cried!

One of them was defeated repeatedly because of the lack of reliable teammates.

Finally, he made it to the national competition this year and is on the road to dominating the country!

The other one also carried the heavy burden of the coach, the team, and himself, and finally made it to the national competition.

And he used today's game to prove that he was qualified to stand on the same stage with his opponent and friend who once shut him out. That was enough!

The two people who were crying and hugging their heads did not know that there would be a bigger surprise waiting for them next!

As for Rukawa Kaede, he took the initiative to extend his right hand, shook hands with Sendoh, and said:

"Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

Sendoh knew what he was talking about, and then smiled and said in a nonchalant way:

"You look so ugly when you smile!"

Hearing this, Hanamichi also made a face, and joked happily from the bottom of his heart:

"Yes~Yes! The stinky fox's smile is really ugly!"

Then, the three of them and the rest of the people also joined in the laughter and playfulness...

After all, after the sweat, it's time to reap the rewards!
