Slam Dunk Fox Rukawa

"Xiangbei played well, why did they call a timeout?" Fukuda said. Of course, this also represents the voice of the players of the Lingnan team except Sendao. They all looked at Coach Tianoka, hoping to get the answer from him.

"Hainan adopted unconventional tactics at the beginning. They tried to completely kill all players except Rukawa and let Rukawa score alone. If everything goes well, Rukawa will have physical problems in the second half due to excessive exercise.

, and at this time other players will not be able to find the rhythm and feel because they have not pitched for a long time.”[..com]

After hearing Coach Tian Gang's explanation, the Lingnan players suddenly realized that when they were discussing Hainan's tactics, they didn't notice that Coach Tian Gang's expression was very strange.

"This timeout was called by Rukawa. If it were any high school player, if the opponent deliberately indulges himself in scoring, he would accept it happily without thinking about anything else. Rukawa Kaede, you will definitely become a very good player."

What a great player, what a pity! I can’t have the opportunity to coach you, this will be the biggest regret in my life, Shigeichi Taoka!!”

Not to mention that Coach Taoka was secretly sad in his heart. The timeout time of the game came and the players from both sides returned to the field.

After Miyagi received the baseline ball from Mitsui, he encountered Amu's pressing as soon as he passed the center line. He handed it over to Rukawa running next to him like he did several times before.

After Rukawa received the basketball, although the other players in Shohoku were heavily guarded, Rukawa did not break through and score on his own like he did in the previous few minutes. Instead, he patiently protected the ball outside the three-point line and observed the position of the players on the court.

After observing for a few seconds, Rukawa made a fake move to break through to the left and then suddenly changed direction and ran to the right with the ball. After running two steps, he met Miyagi who was running towards him. Rukawa handed the basketball hand to hand.

As he passed by Miyagi, he naturally stopped his body and blocked the route of Amu who was defending Miyagi.

Hainan's players are quite skilled in personal skills and tactics. Kiyota immediately changed positions to defend Miyagi. After successfully blocking Amu, Rukawa did not stay where he was, but continued to lead Amu to the right baseline.

ran, and then the same off-ball screen helped Mitsui block Ashen's defense.

Rukawa took the initiative to cover his teammates twice in a row, finally allowing the well-trained Hainan team to have a loophole in the defensive system. This time Amu failed to change positions in time to keep up with Mitsui, and Mitsui ran to the 45-degree three-point line on the right

After receiving a pass from Miyagi, he opened his hand and shot without adjusting.

When Mitsui's basketball shot, Amu was at least 1 meter away from Mitsui. Although Amu did not give up and waved his hands as much as possible to try to distract Mitsui's attention, these little tricks were far more mature than in the original work.

It is useless in front of Mitsui.

"Wow", Mitsui's three-pointer officially declared that the "Jordan Rule" adopted by Hainan against Xiangbei was invalid.

In the next 2 minutes, Rukawa continued to take the initiative to set up screens for his teammates. Sakuragi, Akagi and Miyagi all got the chance to take action with Rukawa's support. Only Miyagi failed to hit the target once, Sakuragi and

Akagi scored 2 points each, and Mitsui scored 6 points with another three-pointer.

Five minutes into the first half, Hainan's coach Gao Tou requested a timeout. At this time, the score on the field was 20:15, and Xiangbei was quietly widening the score gap.

"Okay, everyone listen to me carefully while drinking water." Coach Gao Tou said to the Hainan generals who gathered around: "After the last timeout, Xiangbei slowed down the offensive rhythm and made adjustments to our defensive strategy, which caused

We are somewhat passive in the scene. So, from now on, Amu!"

"Yes." Amu responded immediately.

"You defend Rukawa Kaede by yourself, and Kiyota defends Miyagi. We use another situation of Jordan's Law. When Rukawa does not have the ball in his hands, Amu, you are responsible for entangling him and trying to remove Rukawa Kaede from Shohoku's offensive system as much as possible.

Take it apart. If Rukawa Kaede attacks with the ball, other team members must pay attention to flanking him. No matter what moves you use, you must guard him. Do you understand?"

"I understand!!"

"Zawakita, if you were Rukawa Kaede just now, could you take the initiative to find teammates to cooperate like he did?" In the stands, coach Domoto took the opportunity to knock Sawabita Eiji, who is known as "the number one high school player in Japan".

"This..." Zebei hesitated for a moment, but chose to tell the truth: "I think my choice should be different from his. Coach, as the team's ace, isn't scoring the first goal? Since I can be better than my teammates

There are better opportunities to score, why don’t I take advantage of them?”

"Zebei, although you have been called the number one high school student in Japan for a long time, in my heart, you are still far away from this title. Judging from your personal offensive ability, you are indeed worthy of this title.

title, but basketball is a collective event after all. No matter how strong your personal ability is, if you are separated from the entire team, no matter how strong your one is, it cannot be greater than the sum of the opponent's five ones." Coach Domoto

He said to Zebei patiently:

"Did you notice that the last timeout in Shohoku was requested by Rukawa Kaede when he succeeded in all five of his attacks at the beginning? Then after coming on the field, he gave up good opportunities to score again and again and took the initiative to be a green leaf.

You set up a screen for your teammates so that other members of the team in Xiangbei can have a chance to score. Didn't you learn anything from this?"

Seeing that Zebei didn't speak for a long time, coach Domoto continued: "Rukawa's personal ability is not inferior to yours, it can even be said to be stronger than yours, but he can actively integrate into the entire team's system, so that

It can produce the effect of 1+1﹥2. Have you ever thought about it, if it is controlled by

It's up to you to score. Once you are out of energy or in poor condition, will your teammates lose the rhythm of the game because they haven't had a chance to shoot for a long time? If you can't understand what Rukawa did just now, you and him

The gap between them will become wider and wider, Zebei, think about it yourself!"

Domoto's words were like a basin of ice water poured on Zebei's head, which had been surrounded by everyone's praises. Zebei looked at the arena with blank eyes, two thoughts constantly fighting in his mind.

"I am the ace, so I should take the initiative to take the offensive responsibility!"

"An excellent player should actively integrate into the team!"

…

Regardless of whether Zebei can get out of its bottleneck, at this time the players from Xiangbei and Hainan have returned to the field to restart the game.

Takasago got rid of Akagi's entanglement through the screen of his teammates. As soon as he took the mid-range shot 3 meters away from the basket, Sakuragi, who has superhuman qualities, ran from the side at an incredible speed, chasing the basketball and touching the side of the basketball with his hand.

.

The basketball hit the backboard and rebounded, but Rukawa used his height to block Amu who was trying to grab the rebound.

However, when Miyagi received the basketball from Rukawa and dribbled it across the midline, he discovered that Amu, who was supposed to be guarding him, had been replaced by Kiyota. Rukawa looked at the Hainan captain who was running closely against him, and immediately understood Gao Tou.

The coach’s plan.

"Gao Tou! You are too rigid! You have to use both methods of one Jordan rule! You underestimate me too!" Rukawa's thoughts are indeed a bit extreme, because this is 94

The year was not yet the era of developed network information in the previous life.

In 1994, the only way Long Country could watch NBA games was through a video recording on Court 2 every Saturday. If you mentioned the "Jordan Rules" in this era, not many people would know about it. So Gao Gao

It is indeed understandable for the head coach to do this.

At that moment, Rukawa made a "steady" gesture to Miyagi, who was controlling the ball, and ran towards Sakuragi with Amu. Just when Amu and Muto thought that Rukawa would make a run with Sakuragi.

While the players were cooperating, Rukawa directed Sakuragi to run to the right side of the backboard with him.

At the beginning, Coach Taoka saw very clearly that the movements of Rukawa and Sakuragi caused major adjustments to Shohoku's offensive formation. Miyagi stood alone on the left side of the three-point line, while Rukawa and Mitsui respectively

Standing along the three-point line on the right side, Sakuragi stood in the area on the right side closer to the three-point line.

In this way, Miyagi just made a simple lob and handed the basketball to Akagi, who was 2 meters to the left of the backboard. At this time, there was only Takasago from Hainan in the area of ​​about 4 meters around Akagi.

The 1.99-meter Akagi faced the 1.91-meter Takasago alone on the inside, and scoring points was as easy as picking out an object from a bag. After leaning on Takasago, Akagi turned around and easily raised his hand, sending Takasago flying, and then used himself to defeat Takasago.

With his stronger body, he jumped up towards Takasago and hit the basketball off the board.

"Beep" and as the referee's whistle blew, Takasago made a defensive foul and Akagi also got a free throw opportunity.

"Well done, captain!!" When Rukawa and the others high-fived Akagi who was walking to the free throw line to celebrate, Hainan's coach Gao Tou lost his usual calmness.

Gaotou unknowingly stopped swinging the folding fan in his hand, and stared solemnly at Shohoku No. 11, who was standing on the right free throw line with his back to him. Just now, Rukawa deliberately took Sakuragi away, giving Akagi a chance to play inside singles.

, Gao Tou was the first to notice this plot.

"How is it possible?! I just replaced Amu to defend him. How could an outstanding player of Kaede Rukawa's age not have the courage and desire to challenge when facing the individual defense of the opponent's ace player?! He is really just

A freshman high school player?"

Not only coach Gao Tou thought this in his heart, but even coach Domoto, who thought he had looked at Rukawa very well in the stands, couldn't help but exclaimed: "I can't understand this Rukawa Kaede more and more. He doesn't understand him at all.

He's like a freshman in high school! Faced with being marked by the opponent's ace player, his first reaction was not to accept the challenge, but to use himself to open up the opponent's defense. He is really a player who can't understand!"

"Coach, don't you usually teach us not to be afraid of challenges and to face them head on?" Zebei asked in confusion.

"This is not a conflict. It is true that for a player, you need the spirit of not being afraid of strong enemies and facing difficulties, but while maintaining a brave and courageous spirit, a player should also have a calm heart at all times.

"Coach Domoto patiently explained to the Sanno players who were looking at him:

"If other players are not in good condition and the team needs you to step forward and shoulder the burden of the team alone, then if you directly challenge and defeat the opponent's ace, it will boost the team's momentum and undermine the opponent's confidence. However, Xiangbei

The time was full bloom, and the situation was great. In this situation, Rukawa Kaede chose to use himself to open up the opponent's defensive core, allowing Akagi, who had an absolute advantage, to attack Takasago alone. This approach of being a green leaf is what the team needs most.

choice.”

When coach Domoto took the opportunity to teach the players, Akagi had already steadily made the extra free throw. At 5 minutes and 32 seconds of the first half, Shohoku led Hainan by 8 points, 23:15.
