Slam Dunk Fox Rukawa

Rukawa was sitting on the bench, too tired to talk. He had only hit 5 of his 9 shots just now. Although it was affected by the opponent's multi-person defense, Rukawa still couldn't simply forgive himself. He decided to finish every training in the future.

Finally, when my physical strength is exhausted, I have to practice shooting 300 times to let my body adapt to shooting under such tired conditions.

Rukawa sat there and waited for Coach Sakamoto to finish cheering for everyone, and then said to his teammates: "In the last two minutes, Inoue, you guys will take a break, and Konno, the four of you, will join me."

The four Inoue people were angry that Rukawa replaced them at the critical moment, but they were not angry with Rukawa, because after watching the game from the sidelines and playing for only 5 minutes, they had deeply realized the difference between the personal abilities of the Hainan team players and their own.

In such a short period of 5 minutes just now, if I hadn’t spared no effort in defense and ignored injuries, I’m afraid the score would have been thrown away instead of being close. As for the offense, even if Rukawa passed the ball after breaking through several times,

It was left to them, and they were also nervous because of the approaching speed of the opponent's players. As a result, they failed to score a goal in several attempts. The four Inoue people were angry not because Rukawa asked them to leave the field, but because they did not have greater ability to help the ball.

Team and feel angry at themselves.

Rukawa understood the expressions on their faces and said to Inoue and the others with a smile: "You have tried your best, so please help us cheer for us. We will definitely defeat Hainan."

"Yes, captain." The four Inoue people were moved by Rukawa's friendly encouragement. They wiped the sweat and tears on their faces and replied loudly.

"Let's go, we are ready to go out. All tactics now are not tactics. At this stage of the game, what is being tested is our perseverance and our fighting spirit." Rukawa stretched out his right hand with the back of his hand upward, "Come on, let's

Shout together."

Konno and others put their right hands up one after another, and even the players on the bench joined in. The players of Tomigaoka Middle School shouted in unison under Rukawa's command:

"Fuqiu will win!"

The Hainan team took the lead in serving. After several passes, the basketball came to Kiyota Nobunaga. After several unsuccessful attempts to break through, Kiyota changed his strategy and dribbled the ball to his teammates to run for a pick-and-roll. Under the pick-and-roll of two teammates in succession,

Kiyota found an opening and made a jump shot, but the basketball was still touched by the fingers of Rukawa, who was jumping high. The basketball was changed in direction and bounced on the backboard. Shiro Konno and Hiroaki Nishitani, who had rested for a while,

A strong defensive line was formed inside to block Hainan's players who wanted to grab rebounds. In the end, Konno Shiro won the basketball, but just when he was about to pass the ball, he found that Hainan team members also launched a full-court press.

"It's really exciting. In a junior high school basketball game, I have never seen a scene where both sides press each other full court." Tian Gang sighed to Coach Anxi.

"Hooray, hooray, it's really rare. The physical strength of junior high school players cannot guarantee that they can use this tactic. Even in the high school basketball world, only a few well-trained strong teams can use it for a short time." Coach Anxi answered affirmatively.

.

After Rukawa discovered that Hainan was using a full-court press, he immediately ran to Konno who was holding the ball. When he passed by Konno, he took the basketball away. When Rukawa was intercepted by Asano in front and chased by Kiyota,

He dribbled past Asano with a change of direction at the hip, and then blocked Kiyota firmly behind him during the run. After dribbling the ball into the three-point line, he started a three-step layup. Kiyota was originally preparing to jump to block the shot.

Yes, but seeing Rukawa gradually slowing down, he hesitated and did not take off. Although Rukawa regretted not causing Qingtian's fifth foul, he still turned around and jogged back to his own half after the ball was scored. With Rukawa's current physical strength, he could not

A full-court press was launched. The score was 109:101, and Fuqiu Middle School was still 8 points behind.

The Hainan team attacked, and the basketball was handed over to Yibuki Mina in the interior. Yibuki looked at Rukawa's position. Kiyota and Rukawa were wandering around the three-point line. Yibuki Mina used herself to be stronger than the opponent Shiro Konno.

The body resisted Konno and he squeezed hard a few times. When Konno lost his center of gravity, he was about to shoot a hook shot. However, Yibuki Mina, who was blocked by Rukawa several times, subconsciously used his peripheral vision to take aim before shooting.

When he went down to Rukawa, he found that Rukawa was already looking at him quickly and was about to block the shot. In shock, Yibuki changed his hands and threw the basketball in the direction of Kiyota, because he felt that since Rukawa came to defend him, then Kiyota

There must be an empty seat.

Yibuki Mina's idea was very correct. Kiyota's position was indeed open, but Yibuki Mina's pass did not reach Kiyota's hands. Rukawa knew that Ibuki had noticed him when Ibuki glanced at him, although he didn't.

Slowing down, Rukawa quietly adjusted his center of gravity. Seeing Ibuki passing the ball in the direction of Kiyota, Rukawa quickly jumped up and won the basketball without any politeness.

Rukawa avoided several interceptions by Kiyota and Asano and came to Hainan's half. At this time, the Hainan players had already set up a defensive formation. Rukawa did not stop for a moment (because there was not enough time), leading Kiyota and Asano to the left and right.

After running back and forth twice between the sides at a 45-degree angle, he suddenly passed between the two Kiyota who was a little relaxed and only inserted into the basket. Unfortunately, Yibuki Mina, who had suffered enough from Rukawa, stood under the basket with a picture of "You

If you want to hit you, hit me, I won’t even move until I hit you”, which left Rukawa helpless and could only score 2 points. The score on the field was 109:103.

Rukawa made several large-scale runs in succession, which made him seem slow in the subsequent defense. Kiyota Nobunaga shot past Rukawa for the first time, but Rukawa grabbed his right hand holding the ball.

, Although Rukawa's movements seemed very gentle (because the action was obviously directed against the person and not the ball, he would be sentenced to a flagrant foul), but when he slapped Kiyota on the wrist, Rukawa accidentally did not hold back, causing Qingta to feel numbness in his right hand.

.

After Rukawa fouled, he raised his right hand as soon as the referee blew the whistle to indicate that he had accidentally fouled. The referee sentenced Kiyota to take two penalty kicks. Kiyota rubbed his still numb right hand with his left hand and looked at Rukawa angrily. Unfortunately,

Rukawa still ignored him and went straight to the left free throw line to grab the rebound.

Kiyota's first free throw was not clear whether it was because his mood had not calmed down or because his right hand still felt numb. The basketball was thrown lightly and hit the front edge of the basket and fell out.

The referee signaled that the ball would not go in and asked Kiyota to take the second free throw. Kiyota took a few deep breaths of air, calmed down the distracting thoughts in his heart, and concentrated on preparing to shoot. Just when Kiyota was about to take the shot, Rukawa suddenly seemed to be choking on his saliva.

He coughed loudly, and Kiyota, who was not very good at free throws, suffered another tragedy. Rukawa seemed to be really choking on his saliva. (Rukawa explained that if you want to make a lie, you must make the lie real.

, Rukawa actually deliberately swallowed some saliva into his trachea), but although Rukawa coughed and bent down, unable to grab the basketball Qingtian missed, he still accidentally stepped out with his right foot and blocked his right side.

Ibuki was trying to grab the rebound, but the basketball was taken by Shiro Konno on the other side.

Kiyota was dissatisfied and signaled to the referee that Rukawa was interfering with him on the court. However, after the referee stopped the game and looked at Rukawa, whose cheeks were red because he was choking on his saliva and coughing, he just asked Rukawa if he could continue the game, and Rukawa took a breath.

Finally, the referee signaled that the game should continue and the ball rights belonged to Fuqiu Middle School.

Kiyota resisted the idea of ​​going forward to argue with the referee. He had already received a technical foul, and he would be off the field if he got another one. Although Rukawa did not score a point for interfering with Kiyota, he allowed Rukawa to breathe because of his coughing.

It was even more messy, so this time Rukawa stood silently on the outside and waited for his breathing to calm down before suddenly starting. After three pick-and-rolls by Osamu Honda, Shiro Konno and Hiroaki Nishitani, he came from the right three-point line of the court through the inside line.

At the 0-degree angle of the left three-point line, he caught the basketball from Cao Caoyi and hit another three-pointer. The score reached 109:105.

In the next attack of the Hainan team, the Hainan team showed its extraordinary strength. The basketball passed through 5 Hainan team players on the court a total of 11 times before being handed over to the hands of Esaki Saburo who ran out of the open space. Rukawa was unable to follow up in time while assisting in defense.

In the above situation, a foul tactic was used against Saburo Ezaki again. The referee still only punished 2 free throws because Rukawa's foul seemed to be against the ball and not the person.

Saburo Ezaki, who made the free throw this time, was obviously better at free throws than Qingtian, and Rukawa did not dare to interfere with his opponent on the court again. Saburo Ezaki made 1 of 2 free throws, and the score was 110:105. Hainan still led with 48 seconds left in the game.

With 5 points, the Hainan team was looking at victory.

But Rukawa and his teammates did not agree. Rukawa made another shot from the three-point line under his teammates' almost shameless pick-and-roll without the ball. The score was 110:108. Moreover, it only took 10 seconds to attack Fuqiu this time.

It takes 38 seconds. For the 30 seconds of attack time stipulated by the International Basketball Association, Hainan and Fuqiu each have time to attack. Now Hainan's next attack is extremely critical. If it goes in, then

Fuqiu Middle School basically has no hope. If it fails to score, whether it is defending 2 points or 3 points will also trouble Hainan Affiliated High School.

So the Hainan team requested a timeout to prepare the tactics for the final attack.

After the timeout, the Hainan team served from the bottom line. Tomigaoka Middle School retreated to its own half to defend. Rukawa and Kusanagi stood slightly near the half to prepare to defend Kiyota and Asano who were about to come over.

Just when Asano was dribbling the ball past half court, Kusanagi Yi and Rukawa suddenly stepped forward to double-team Asano to defend Asano. Asano quickly hugged the basketball. Kusanagi Yi and Rukawa surrounded Asano on the right side of the center line and couldn't

Action. Qingtian quickly stepped forward to catch the ball. Unfortunately, Rukawa and Asano kept moving in directions, so Asano did not dare to pass the ball rashly. Qingtian had no choice but to call the Hainan team's last short pause of the game, but Hainan's 30-second attack time

14 seconds have passed.

After a short pause of 20 seconds, the players of Tomigaoka Junior High School were running all over the court like they were desperate, which made Asano dare not serve easily. He almost violated the rules for 5 seconds. Fortunately, Kiyota passed Hirose Jun's no-ball pick-and-roll.

He took the basketball, but Rukawa and others did not stop running. The pressing defense caused Qingda to be given a 30-second offensive violation before he forced his shot.

Rukawa did not call a timeout because Tomiqiu's tactics often depended on Rukawa's on-court command, so he did not want to call a timeout for the Hainan team to arrange defensive tactics. This time Rukawa called Shiro Konno, who he thought was the tallest on the team, to come.

After muttering a few words, Konno took the basketball and walked to the center line to prepare to serve.

The other four Fuqiu players were like mad dogs running around without the ball in Hainan's half. The Hainan team members had no choice but to block Konno who was serving with one player, and the other three players stuck to the three-point line.

Good Kiyota keeps running with Rukawa.

After Rukawa passed the two-man pick-and-roll, he got the basketball at about 45 degrees from the left three-point line. However, Kiyota stumbled after him. When Rukawa caught the ball, time started to move. There were only 8 seconds. Rukawa had no time to wait.

, directly raised his hand to shoot, Kiyota did not care whether Rukawa was fake or not, jumped up to block the shot. Rukawa really did a fake move, but after shaking Kiyota, Rukawa did not cause Qingta to foul because Rukawa was not sure that he had made it.

Irregular shots after a foul will definitely go in, and at the end of the game, the referee will determine whether the foul is a free throw, and even if it is a free throw, Rukawa cannot guarantee that he, who has basically no physical strength, can make all the free throws. So Rukawa made it within 1 second.

Decided to shoot the basketball, looked to the right, took a step and then took off to shoot.

Rukawa looked to the right and dribbled the ball when there were 4 seconds left on the timer. He jumped up at 3 seconds. At 2.5 seconds, his right hand holding the ball began to look forward and push out. At 2 seconds, the basketball had not completely left his fingers. When 1 second was displayed,

At that moment, the basketball finally completely slipped away from Rukawa's fingers.

"Beep" As the timer showed 0:00, the whistle sounded to end the game, but the whole place was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the basketball flying in the sky.

Under the attention of the entire audience, the orange-red basketball seemed to have been flying in the air for a century before it suddenly penetrated the embrace of the net.

"Bi" the referee blew the whistle to indicate that the ball had gone in. Rukawa fell to the floor weakly, but he raised his hands and fists into the sky.
