Slam Dunk Fox Rukawa

"Beep" Caiko blew the whistle in her mouth.

Yohei, who was standing in the midfield to serve, sent the ball to Mitsui who came to respond. Mitsui dribbled the ball and observed the court. Tetsuji Shiozaki, who was opposite him, was not like the first-year freshman who had never heard of Mitsui's reputation.

Shiozaki, who knew how powerful Mitsui was, was defending Mitsui with the mentality of preferring to miss rather than make a mistake, so Mitsui deliberately showed a few dribbling flaws but did not seduce Shiozaki to steal the ball. Mitsui dribbled the ball a few times, but Shiozaki was not fooled. Although

He can forcefully break through, but it's not Mitsui's style to use all his strength against an opponent like Shiozaki.

Mitsui saw Rukawa running out of position about 1 meter inside the three-point line at 45 degrees on the left side, and slung the ball over the head of Shiozaki, who was a head shorter than him.

Facing the basketball from Mitsui, Rukawa Kaede made an action that was incredible to everyone in the audience, including Haruko, Ye Zi, and Noma who were watching their training through the glass outside.

When the basketball passed by Mitsui had fallen into Rukawa's control, Rukawa quickly stretched out his right hand, but instead of catching the ball, he slapped the bottom of the basketball with his hand and slapped the basketball towards him in a volleyball second pass.

rebounded.

Takenori Akagi saw Mitsui passing the ball to Rukawa Kaede. Akagi, who had watched Rukawa play and knew how good he was, was worried about Rukawa's defense. He watched Rukawa move over from the free throw line, ready to defend at any time. But when he didn't stand up yet,

Okay, I saw the basketball flew towards the backboard with Rukawa's right hand that didn't catch the ball. Akagi, who was screaming in his heart, quickly turned around and wanted to intercept the basketball, but as soon as he turned around, Tokuo held him firmly.

, you must know that although Akagi is 6 centimeters taller than Tokuo, Akagi is only 93 kilograms, while Tokuo is 95 kilograms. Even though Akagi tried his best, he could not move even half a step forward, and could only watch Sakuragi Hanamichi over there.

Quickly getting rid of the entanglement of Tsunoda, who was 11 centimeters shorter than him but much slower than Sakuragi, rushed to the basket and jumped high.

When Sakuragi's hair was even with the rim, Sakuragi's raised hands caught the basketball shot by Rukawa.

"Drink!" Sakuragi shouted as he caught the basketball, slamming the basketball into the hoop with both hands.

Everyone present was stunned by the ball. They had all seen the alley-oop more or less on TV or elsewhere. Players such as Akagi and Mitsui who had extensive experience in the game had seen it in person. So.

Although they were surprised by Sakuragi's amazing bounce, what shocked them most was not Sakuragi who dunked, but Rukawa who passed the ball.

You must know that when playing alley-oop, the most important thing is not the person who catches the ball and dunks, but the person who passes the ball. Because in order to pass the basketball to the position where the alley-oop can be done with the right force and the right time, it is not only necessary to have good skills.

Observation skills, and a very good sense of the ball, and the players Akagi and the others have seen passing alley-oops are all done while holding the ball with both hands. Occasionally, they have seen one-handed passes during dribbling on TV.

However, Rukawa did not catch the basketball that Mitsui passed to him while it was still flying, and directly shot it to Sakuragi. This person's grasp of strength and timing is undoubtedly better than that of the passer Akagi and the others have seen.

Exceed several times.

Rukawa actually didn't think about this ball, just because Mumu, who was guarding him, didn't put any pressure on him, and Rukawa was not interested in scoring on Mumu, who was 13 centimeters shorter than him, so Rukawa also acted on a whim, and did not expect that Sakuragi and himself

I was used to playing alley-oops that I often threw to him. I ran to the position very consciously and caught the ball and scored. If I did it again, I guess I might not be able to pass such a free ball. But since everyone around me

Looking at him in amazement, Rukawa, who was so used to showing off, responded to everyone with his usual paralyzed facial expression, which made people feel like they were standing tall at the top of a mountain.

"It's amazing. With such a powerful alley-oop, Sakuragi is indeed the man who defeated the captain."

"More than that, Rukawa who passes the ball is so amazing. Not to mention that I have never seen such a pass before, I just never thought that someone could pass the ball like this. It's really amazing."

"Yes, these two first-year students are so good. Our team will be blessed in the next three years, but I have to work hard and strive to be as good as them as soon as possible."

"Yes, let's work hard together."

The first-year students watching the game expressed their feelings after being shocked.

However, there was one person who was not shocked by Rukawa, and that was Sakuragi who just dunked. After Sakuragi successfully dunked, he ran under the window where Ye Zi and the others were, and started showing off and showing off to Ye Zi.

Akagi walked over and knocked Sakuragi out of the frenzy with a hammer.

"Damn gorilla, always hitting geniuses on the head, huh, he must be jealous of me, yes, he must be jealous that I scored the first and only goal in the game." Sakuragi covered his long bag.

Head followed Akagi back to the half of the game, muttering in his mouth.

Yohei once again served to Mitsui. Mitsui took two steps to the left and passed it to Rukawa who was at the top of the arc at the center line. Rukawa received the ball without any pause. With one shot on the ground, Mitsui broke through from the right side of Mumu who was guarding him.

Just when Mumu was chasing after him from the left and Akagi was rushing in front to help defend, Rukawa threw the ball back with his dribbling right hand without even looking back. The basketball flew outside the front three-point line and was caught just in time.

Mitsui caught the ball easily, but Mitsui raised his hand to throw the ball without any adjustment.

The sound of a basketball passing through the net is something I never tire of hearing.

Then Yohei served the ball to Rukawa who ran out. When Rukawa dribbled the ball from the left side at about 45 degrees to the baseline, his dribbling left hand moved behind him covertly. The basketball was passed from behind Rukawa to the hands of Yohei who just ran to the free throw line.

, Yohei succeeded with an easy mid-range jumper, and Rukawa and the others scored three goals in a row.

Then Yohei served to Mitsui. Mitsui pretended to pass the ball to Rukawa and handed the ball to Yohei who slipped past him. Yasuda, who was originally guarding Yohei, was easily defeated by Yohei through Mitsui.

Yohei broke into the penalty area, and when he suddenly stopped and was about to shoot, the hands holding the ball suddenly flipped his wrists and then pressed down. The basketball hit the feet of Akagi who came to block Yohei. After hitting the ground, it bounced to Akagi.

The German man let go, and the German man jumped up from the basket and easily put the ball into the basket.

In the following training, the five Rukawa people cooperated like clouds and flowing water, which made Akagi and the others miserable. They don't even remember how many goals Rukawa and the others scored in a row. They only know that Rukawa has not scored a goal because Rukawa has been there.

Playing the ball without attacking on his own. Just when Akagi came to block Rukawa again, Rukawa passed the ball to Yohei running from the left. After Yohei made another jump shot, Rukawa stopped the game.

"Captain, how about we take a rest? We are so tired." Rukawa said to Akagi who was sweating profusely.

Akagi looked at Rukawa, who was still breathing in front of him, knowing that he didn't want to continue fighting. The strength of the two teams was very obvious. He could suppress Tokuo, but he was completely defeated by Rukawa and the others in other positions. Although he was unwilling to do so, he

Continuing to fight will only be in vain and humiliated.

"Okay, let's rest for a while, replenish water and then continue with the next exercise." Akagi still stopped this training match with great disparity between strong and weak. After hearing Akagi's words, Mumu felt better. He just held his knees with both hands and panted.

And Yasuda, Shiozaki and Tsunoda just sat down on the ground. They were exhausted just now. The five of them, Rukawa, have been practicing together for half a year. Basically, they know what it means with just one eye contact, and they keep coming.

Yasuda and the others were exhausted by their offensive methods, and they could not touch the ball. They often ran with the players they were defending and bumped into the players on Rukawa's side who had been standing there. Although the game lasted only a quarter of an hour, Yasuda and the others

I feel more tired than playing a game.

"Huh...huh...huh." After Mumu finished breathing, he said to Mitsui next to him: "Mitsui, I didn't expect that you haven't played for two years. Instead of regressing, you have become even better. It seems that our domination of the country is no longer a slogan.

.”

"Hahaha." Mitsui smiled proudly, "Of course, you don't even know who I am. I am... the best player Mitsui Hisashi." Mitsui originally wanted to say that he was a genius as before,

However, suddenly considering that Sakuragi has been claiming to be a genius for a long time, Mitsui immediately decided not to call himself a genius in the future when he thought that he would be ranked alongside Sakuragi.

After resting for 5 minutes, Akagi gathered everyone again and started the four-corner passing training.

Soon, the two-and-a-half-hour training was over. As Akagi said "dismissed," everyone went to the locker room to change clothes and prepare to go home.

When Akagi turned around to go to the locker room, he was stopped by Mitsui. Akagi looked at Mitsui in confusion.

"Akagi, you seem to have forgotten what you promised us?" Mitsui's very flattering tone made Akagi itchy with hatred, but when he thought of his bare pp photo still being held in his hand, Akagi was helpless.

He let out a "hum", then said "Waiting at the school gate in a minute" and walked into the locker room. Only the unscrupulous laughter of Mitsui, Sakuragi and others were left behind.
