Chapter 342 It’s broken, Sakuragi is swollen!

"It can't go on like this!"

"We have to find a way to suppress this kid."

When Coach Tagang was thinking about how to deal with Sakuragi Hanamichi, a first-year student, Lingnan High School used Sendō's singles to pierce the defense of Shohoku High School on the court. After attracting Sakuragi Hanamichi's attention, Sendō faked

A true pass was made and an assist was given to the open Yoshio Fukuda.

Although Nango Koichiro was aware of it and prepared to defend early, Fukuda attacked the basket very quickly and was unable to block the shot.

The basketball enters the net, and the offense and defense can easily change.

The previous reminder from Jinguji Martial Arts seemed to have had some effect. In this attack, Sakuragi Hanamichi's running speed was obviously slower.

Sakuragi Hanamichi followed Nango's example and was just a little faster than Kiyota Nobunaga holding the ball. When Kiyota crossed the center line with the ball, Sakuragi Hanamichi had just crossed the three-point line.

Generally speaking, his running can match the offensive speed of Shohoku High School at this time, and his ability to learn and comprehend is quite good.

"Sakuragi's speed has slowed down."

"It's not bad. I didn't rush into the frontcourt like I did just now."

"I didn't let my saliva go in vain."

Budao looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi who was slowly approaching the paint area and said with a smile, but soon, his smile froze on his face.

The previous goals seemed to have made Sakuragi Hanamichi unable to recognize himself. At this time, when Kiyota Nobunaga was approaching the three-point line, he turned around and blocked Fukuda Yoshihao behind him. At the same time, the giant

The hand wants the ball.

This time, Sakuragi Hanamichi actually asked for it and wanted to play singles with the ball.

"What is this guy going to do?!"

"Want a ball for singles?"

"This idiot, can't he recognize himself?!"

When Kiyota Nobunaga saw Sakuragi Hanamichi actually raising his hand to ask for the ball, he immediately cursed. Sakuragi's previous pass over the lever that Uozumi was defending was just a coincidence, in Kiyota Nobunaga's opinion.

Many golfers have that kind of time. At a certain moment, their souls are so blessed that they are able to do actions that they normally cannot do.

But that was accidental after all, and there was no way it could be used as a conventional weapon.

Although he thought so in his heart, Kiyota Nobunaga still chose to pass the ball after a breakthrough and feinted, and directly lobbed the ball to Sakuragi Hanamichi.

The reason why Kiyota passed the ball to Sakuragi was not because he believed in Hanamichi Sakuragi, but simply because he wanted Sakuragi to see his strength clearly and not do unnecessary things!

"Bang!" After the basketball was taken, Sakuragi Hanamichi grinned and tilted his head slightly. From the corner of his eye, he looked at Fukuda Yoshihao, who was hunched over and defending seriously, and said with a smile:

"Do you want to stop this genius?! Can you do it?"

As he spoke, Sakuragi Hanamichi smiled and quickly half-turned to sweep the ball frame. With a simple test step, he easily shook Fukuda Yoshihao's defensive center of gravity.

Seeing the opportunity arise, Hanamichi Sakuragi didn't hesitate at all and rushed directly towards the ball on the left.

Sakuragi Hanamichi's basic skills are very solid. Although he has only played for one year, he already has the ability to use his weak side hand to assist in offense. After breaking through Fukuda Yoshihao, Sakuragi Hanamichi directly combined the ball with one dribble.

Started, took two big steps and directly entered the paint area.

"Got it!!!"

"Genius Sakuragi's layup trick!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at the empty basket and shouted excitedly as he lifted the ball for a layup. Uozumi Jun under the basket was delayed by Nango Koichiro and took half a step before he rushed to Sakuragi and jumped up.

, raised his arms high and sealed the basketball in Sakuragi's hand.

At this moment, Sakuragi Hanamichi's smile became even brighter as he lifted the ball for a layup. He grabbed the ball with his right hand and repeated his old trick, pulling it into his arms. Relying on his terrifying bounce and staying in the air, he once again avoided the fish.

He blocked the shot, then reached out again and sent the ball to the basket.

"Pa~"

A pull hook under the basket, the basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the basket.

With a stretched pull-up layup, Sakuragi Hanamichi perfectly replicated his previous goal, and once again broke through Uozumi's defense and sent the ball into the basket.

"What!!!"

"That guy actually scored a goal with a pull-up layup again?!"

Kiyota Nobunaga opened his mouth in shock and shouted in disbelief. He originally thought that Sakuragi's previous pull-up layup was just an accident, but now it seems that it is not!

Sakuragi Hanamichi has indeed mastered the technique of pull-up layups, and the angles of the two layups are not the conventional angles. In other words, Sakuragi's layup skills have also been greatly improved!

"How is that possible! How is it possible that a red-haired monkey can still master the pull-up layup?!"

"This guy, I heard from the seniors in Xiangbei, the red-haired monkey only started playing football when he was in junior high school. It has only been a year now."

"Not only dribbling and shooting, but now I can even master the lever?!"

As a teammate, Kiyota Nobunaga is very aware of Sakuragi Hanamichi's growth trajectory. In one year, Sakuragi Hanamichi has grown from a pure rookie who knows nothing to now being able to forcefully score in the hands of a center of Uozumi's level.

This growth rate shocked even Kiyota Nobunaga, who regarded himself as a genius.

Compared to the surprised Kiyota Nobunaga, Rukawa Kaede acted much calmer.

There are many players in Shohoku High School, and there are also many capable players, but when it comes to talent, there are only three people that Rukawa Kaede likes.

Ace Jinguji Martial Arts, a small forward who is over two meters tall and as fast as a defender.

Captain Hisashi Mitsui, who is over 190cm tall, has a three-point shooting ability and has comprehensive abilities.

And the last one is Sakuragi Hanamichi.

Even if it is Shohoku's main center Takenori Akagi, Rukawa Kaede does not have that much recognition of his opponent's talent.

Sakuragi Hanamichi's talent is all-round, not only reflected in physical fitness. Sakuragi is also outstanding in learning ability, court intuition, hidden talents that have no fixed scale.

Without saying anything, Rukawa Kaede just took a deep look at Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was smiling and greeting the sidelines, and quickly returned to the court.

Once again, Sakuragi Hanamichi broke through the defense line head-on. Uozumi Jun also glanced at Sakuragi Hanamichi's back with a solemn expression.

"Huh, kid, you won't be so lucky next time!"

Uozumi began to take a serious look at Sakuragi and decided to deal with Sakuragi Hanamichi seriously. After all, although Uozumi has only played for more than two years, he often pulls up layups of Sakuragi Hanamichi's level during the team's practice matches.

Some encounters.

In fact, sometimes Shinomiya and Sendō's layups are much more exaggerated than Sakuragi's.

Uozumi thought he had a way to deal with Sakuragi Hanamichi's pull-up layup.

During the transition between offense and defense, Lingnan High School quickly launched an attack. After Fujima dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, he swayed his body with continuous changes of direction in front of his body, maneuvering Kiyota Nobunaga's defensive position, and then made a staggered step forward and directly passed through.

Passing Kiyota's defense, he passed the ball to Uozumi when he cut to the basket.

The fish holding the ball turned half-turn under the basket and sent the ball into the net with a small hook.

Lingnan's offense is very stable. Even when facing the first-year students from Shohoku, all the players did not relax on the offensive end. Sakuragi Hanamichi and the others are indeed good in personal strength, but overall, the defense is

The ability is actually not that strong.

Rukawa Kaede's individual defense is good, Sakuragi's individual defense is also okay, and the individual defense of several others is also remarkable. But when these arrogant guys form a collective, the defense becomes full of flaws.

These first-year students from Xiangbei have joined Xiangbei's training since they were in junior high school, but after training together for such a long time, these guys still don't have much tacit understanding with each other.

It's hard to see it when you're attacking, but when you're defending, it's immediately revealed.

If defense is lacking, make up for it with offense.

Although first-year students like Sakuragi Hanamichi are young, they still see some things relatively openly.

Under the high-frequency offensive and defensive transitions, Kiyota Nobunaga also planned to increase his speed. After receiving the ball in the backcourt, he quickly dribbled the ball toward the frontcourt. Although Sakuragi Hanamichi did not understand what "fusion offensive rhythm" meant,

This happened, but simply when he saw Kiyota Nobunaga suddenly speeding up, he also speeded up.

There is no need for teammates to remind you or anything.

As Shohoku High School approached the frontcourt, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who had just crossed the three-point line, was running towards the inside. Kiyota Nobunaga directly hit the ground and passed the ball into Sakuragi Hanamichi's hands.

"Well?!"

The basketball was passed into the hands of Sakuragi who was walking at the right time. Sakuragi Hanamichi had never handled this kind of ball before. He could only attack after holding the ball in the mid-range position. For example, the indirect ball was passed directly to Sakura when he was walking.

Mu Zheng can no longer do it.

As soon as the basketball was in hand, Fukuda Yoshihao's body quickly stopped in front of Sakuragi. Sakuragi Hanamichi, who couldn't picture a breakthrough in his mind, subconsciously stopped the ball, then turned his back, held the ball in his chest, and then stupidly resumed

Turn around and sweep the ball.

Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was not adapted to the current offensive rhythm, was a little stiff in his movements, which was completely different from his previous self.

"It seems that Sakuragi has no skill at holding a spherical basket." Budao looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi's stiff movements, suddenly thought of something, and raised his eyebrows, feeling an ominous premonition.

Sure enough, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was holding the ball in both hands, feinted to break through to the left. However, Fukuda Yoshihao stood in front of him with an expressionless face, raising his hands high, and was not moved at all.

Sakuragi, who has already combined the ball, has no chance of dropping the ball again.

Sakuragi now either passes or shoots. Under such circumstances, how is it possible for Fukuda Yoshihao to take advantage of him?!

After several consecutive tests, cold sweat broke out on Sakuragi Hanamichi's forehead.

"Damn it!" Sakuragi Hanamichi would not admit that as a genius, he did not have the "ability to face the basket." After scolding, he ignored the calls of his outside teammates to pass the ball, directly stepped up, and wanted to shoot.

Kiyota Nobunaga actually didn't want to pass the ball when he saw this scene, but there was no way he would give up such a good opportunity.

The ball hit the ground while traveling, and the basketball directly crossed half of the court and was accurately sent into Sakuragi Hanamichi's hands.

In Shohoku, Nobunaga Kiyota was trained as a point guard, and his talents were gradually discovered.

"Well done! Wild monkey!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi caught the ball and shouted happily. And the moment he took the ball, Fukuda Yoshio quickly came to his side, stretched out his hand to block Sakuragi's sight, and at the same time quickly moved forward, trying to stop Sakuragi.

.

Just when everyone thought Sakuragi would be forced to stop again, Sakuragi, who caught the ball, suddenly combined the ball with a blast, took two big steps to the left and right, and then directly passed Fukuda Yoshihao and headed towards the basket.

.

"Brother Martial Arts' steps are not difficult at all!"

While whispering, Sakuragi subconsciously took another step, and then he took off for a layup without realizing it.

Without any accident, the basketball hit the net, but the referee's whistle also sounded at the right time.

"He's walking...this idiot..."
