Slam Dunk, Start with a Perfect Three-Pointer

Although the mouth is still scolding Sakuragi.

But Akagi was still very relieved.

Think of Sakuragi's disdainful attitude towards basketball at the beginning compared with the way he is actively learning now.

It really is a world of difference.

Basketball really changed Sakuragi a lot.

"Remember, a foul is only one step away from a defense."

Akagi spoke up.

"There is no skill at all, the most important thing in defense is attitude."

"manner?"

Sakuragi was a little confused.

"I think I have a good attitude, what's the problem?"

"Usual pace training is for this purpose, and defense can't be improved overnight!"

Akagi's face changed, and he stared at Sakuragi angrily.

"You usually don't like training the least. If you can defend well, you'll be damned!"

Sakuragi asked a little puzzled.

"But Tatsuhiko is also a beginner, but he doesn't have the trouble of fouling.

"Too."

When Akagi heard Sakuragi's words, he seemed to make sense, nodded, and then reminded Sakuragi.

"You can ask Tatsuhiko to see if he has any skills."

"Okay! Brother! Then I'll ask Tatsuhiko, see if he has any skills."

After saying that, Sakuragi left Zhu Mu's house.

Haruko, who was in pajamas, walked to the dining room, looked at Akagi who was washing dishes, and covered his mouth with a smile.

"Sakuragi-san, compared to before, the difference is really big."

"correct."

Akagi nodded and put the plates and bowls in the cupboard.

"If Sakuragi can also become stronger, Kita Mirai's inside line will not have to worry at all.

"Big brother, you look like a housewife now!"

Haruko looked at Akagi in the apron and laughed.

"Sakuragi! Come back and do the dishes!"

Akagi's angry roar echoes throughout Akagi's house!

On the other side, Sakuragi, who had already stepped out of the crowd, didn't hear the voice of "Zero One Zero" at all.

He stood at the door of Tatsuhiko's house and sneezed heavily.

"Aqiu!"

"Are you feeling a little cold?"

Sakuragi rubbed his nose suspiciously.

Tatsuhiko opened the door and looked at Sakuragi at the door with some surprise.

It's so late, what is this guy doing here!

"What's wrong? Sakuragi?"

"Tatsuhiko, please teach me how to defend!"

Sakuragi bowed heavily and lowered his head, asking Tatsuhiko for advice.

"what?"

Tatsuhiko showed the same expression as Akagi.

"this.………"

Tatsuhiko just wanted to tell him to ask Akagi for advice.

But the voice of the system in his head interrupted him.

"System task: Invite Sakuragi Hanamichi to train together and get three points of stamina.

"Note: The task can be repeated within three days."

Tatsuhiko sighed a little.

"The system is also becoming more and more user-friendly."

What I wanted to say to reject Sakuragi was changed.

"You can train with me tomorrow morning, and when it's time to practice, I can teach you some techniques.

"Thank you, Tatsuhiko!"

Sakuragi readily accepted, and solemnly thanked Tatsuhiko.

"No need, no need, they are all teammates, you become stronger, Shohoku can be stronger!"

Tatsuhiko hastily waved his hand in refusal.

This is not a big deal, it doesn't matter at all.

Sakuragi's serious appearance made him a little unaccustomed to it.

Watching Sakuragi's leaving back, Tatsuhiko muttered to himself.

"It seems that Sakuragi fell in love with basketball."

Shohoku will add a strong player in the future!

back to the room.

Tatsuhiko thought about where to add the five attributes he got.

Looking at myself in the mirror, my figure is slightly thinner.

"Forget it, add a little height, and add everything else to the weight, and the threat of breaking through will be greater if you are stronger.

Tatsuhiko finished the assignment and fell asleep satisfied.

the next morning.

Ayako came to the agreed place on time.

And Tatsuhiko has long been waiting here.

"Good morning, Ayako-senpai!"

Tatsuhiko waved to Ayako, and next to him was the well-behaved Haruko.

"Hey, why is Haruko here?"

Ayako nodded and walked beside Tatsuhiko and Haruko.

"I invited you, let's run together in the morning."

Haruko on the side was a little shy and greeted Ayako.

"Good morning, Ayako-senpai."

Although the expression on Ayako's face has not changed, there is still Xiaojiu in her heart.

But after all, I and Tatsuhiko are just friends.

None of these things.

Ayako nodded with a smile.

"It's good to run together, and it's good to have a companion."

Ayako tilted her head and looked at Tatsuhiko with some doubts in her eyes.

Why does it feel like I haven't seen him all night, Tatsuhiko has become taller again, and her figure is much stronger than before.

"What's wrong? Ayako-senpai?"

Tatsuhiko noticed the doubt in Ayako's eyes, and asked in a deep voice.

"It's okay, let's go for a run.

Ayako shook his head, but didn't ask this matter out.

She decided to use a ruler to measure directly in the next game to verify the doubts in her heart.

"By the way, is there still a game this afternoon?"

Haruko who was running behind Tatsuhiko asked suddenly.

"Yes, there is another match today, but today's opponent is not very strong.

Ayako explained.

"What's the matter, Haruko, are you going to watch the game then?"

do not know. "

Haruko shook his head, and looked at Tatsuhiko's back with soft eyes.

"You must work hard for the game in the afternoon, Tatsuhiko-san."

"what?"

Tatsuhiko turned his head with a smile.

"I'm thinking whether to score 60 or 65!"

"You think 60 points is something you can get if you want, you arrogant ghost!"

Ayako curled her lips and said teasingly.

"It should be, after all, I got it in the first two games."

Tatsuhiko looked confident.

"The main opponent is too weak, there are still several games to meet Shoyo."

"I believe that Tatsuhiko will be able to win the national championship and become the best high school student in the country!"

Haruko's cheeks were flushed, and she encouraged Tatsuhiko in a low voice.

Ayako on the side was silent.

Shoyo is a super team in Kanagawa Prefecture, even compared with Kainan.

Can the current Shohoku really beat Shoyo?

Ayako felt a little uncertain.

"Shoyo is just an opponent on our way to national supremacy. If you don't even have the confidence to beat them, then what's the point of playing!"

It seemed that he had guessed what Ayako was thinking, so he said softly.

"I'm looking forward to the match against Shoyo now, Shohoku will definitely win!"

Although Tatsuhiko's voice is very soft, it is full of firmness.

Now Shohoku fully possesses the strength to dominate the whole country.

If you have to worry about whether you can beat Shoyo, it would be too lacking in confidence.

"We will definitely win!"

Ayako nodded and said heavily.

And Haruko on the side has already turned into star eyes.

Confident boys are so handsome!

When Tatsuhiko confidently stated his dream of dominating the country, Haruko did not feel that this dream was difficult to achieve.

Instead, I think it can be done!

Because this is Tatsuhiko, the ace of Team Shohoku, a super rookie from Kanagawa Prefecture!

Even if it can't be done now, Tatsuhiko in the future will definitely be able to do it.

This is Haruko's confidence in Tatsuhiko!

Haruko suddenly remembered what Akagi said.

"Maybe I prefer girls who take the initiative."

"Active?"

A trace of hesitation flashed in Haruko's eyes, and then became extremely firm again.

"Student Tatsuhiko, I believe in you, you will definitely be able to dominate the country."

"what?"

Tatsuhiko looked at Haruko with a suspicious look in his eyes.

Why did Haruko suddenly become like this.

"Okay, let me borrow your good words, if I win the championship, the first thing I will do is to tell you the news.

Tatsuhiko said seriously.

If he really wins the championship, it goes without saying that Haruko will naturally go to watch the game.

"it is good!"

Haruko nodded happily, thinking secretly in his heart.

"Isn't that very active?"

Ayako gave Haruko a meaningful look.

She never thought that the well-behaved Haruko would be so active in front of Tatsuhiko.

"Okay, let's run here."

Tatsuhiko stopped in front of the two.

Before I knew it, I had run three kilometers.

Sakuragi should be waiting for him in the field now, and he has to hurry over to teach him defense.

"Come on, let's go get something to eat."

Tatsuhiko was the first to go to the breakfast place on the side of the road.

After breakfast, Ayako and Haruko went home directly.

Tatsuhiko brought another breakfast and walked towards the field.

Sakuragi had already arrived.

"Good morning, Tatsuhiko!"

Sakuragi waved excitedly at Tatsuhiko.

Looking at Sakuragi's already soaked coat, Tatsuhiko smiled and nodded.

"Have you had breakfast? Sakuragi."

"Cuckoo.

Sakuragi's belly signaled hunger.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if I don't eat breakfast, hurry up and teach me how to defend!"

"That won't work."

Tatsuhiko handed the breakfast to Sakuragi.

"If you don't eat breakfast, it's hard to exercise in the morning. I guess you didn't eat it, so hurry up and eat something."

"You are so kind, Tatsuhiko!"

Sakuragi gratefully took the breakfast in Tatsuhiko's hand, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"I...will never...call you stinky again."

"what?"

Looking at Sakuragi whose mouth was already full, he was still talking.

Tatsuhiko smiled helplessly.

"So this is the nickname you gave me, it feels much better than the gorilla dead fox.

"Of course, you don't think I'm right."

Sakuragi rubbed her belly and smiled in satisfaction.

"Isn't Kaede Rukawa just like a fox? Don't worry, I won't call you a stinker anymore.

Three black lines were left on Tatsuhiko's forehead.

"Then I really want to thank you, Sakuragi.

"it's okay no problem!"

Sakuragi patted Tatsuhiko's shoulder heavily.……………

"Stinky fart, what defensive skills do you have?"

"what?"

Tatsuhiko's face turned black.

"Sure enough, I shouldn't have believed you."

"Sorry sorry, Tatsuhiko! Tatsuhiko!"

Sakuragi stroked the back of his head.

"Okay, let's not talk about that."

Tatsuhiko grabs the ball in his hand and poses in a standard three-threat pose in front of Sakuragi.

"Try to defend me."

"it is good!"

Sakuragi immediately stood in front of Tatsuhiko, raising both hands.

"No no no!"

Tatsuhiko shook his head vigorously.

"Your defensive action is too rigid, this is a beginner's defensive posture!"

"Aren't I just a beginner?"

Sakuragi smiled awkwardly.

"Ayako taught me this."

"Wrong wrong!"

Tatsuhiko rebuts Sakuragi.

"If you want to learn to defend, you have to learn to look at the void."

Tatsuhiko was once again in a shot-threatening pose.

"This is the most conventional offensive posture. Whether it is shooting, breaking through or passing, there is a great threat. Facing such an opponent, you have to learn to change your defensive strategy reasonably."

"how to change?"

Sakuragi looked at Tatsuhiko suspiciously.

Although every word Tatsuhiko said is clear to him, it is a bit complicated to listen to it together.

But he still understood Tatsuhiko's last words and changed his defensive strategy.

"You're going to watch your opponent."

Tatsuhiko demonstrates in front of Sakuragi.

"If your opponent is good at shooting and not good at breaking through, then you have to raise your hands and interfere with his shooting.

Tatsuhiko took a shot and Sakuragi immediately put his hands in Tatsuhiko's face.

"too close!"

Tatsuhiko felt like she was being hit in the face by Sakuragi's hand.

"Stay farther away, leave a little space for jumping, you are easy to be fouled by your opponent!"

Sakuragi nodded and moved about half a step away from Tatsuhiko.

"Yeah, just that distance so you can interfere with his shot.

Tatsuhiko makes a shot and Sakuragi immediately jumps up and blocks the ball in Tatsuhiko's hands.

"Yes, nothing wrong, that's it!"

Tatsuhiko picks up the ball that was blocked by Sakuragi, and poses again to break the threat.

"If your opponent is good at breaking through, you have to leave enough chasing distance.

While speaking, Tatsuhiko immediately broke to the right, and Sakuragi, who had no time to defend, was directly passed by Long Yu.

"That's it."

Tatsuhiko returns to the spot.

"So leave a distance of about one step, so that you can follow him at any time, and you won't be thrown away by one step."

Sakuragi tried a few more times, and managed to get in front of Tatsuhiko the next few times.

"This is really useful."

Tatsuhiko nodded, then continued to strike a threatening pose.

"If your opponent is good at shooting and breakthrough at the same time, you have to adjust your steps and observe which direction he likes to break through most."

Tatsuhiko made a shot fake and Sakuragi was sent flying.

A simple change of direction, breaking through directly from the left.

"Also, don't worry about defending. Before the ball is shot, the offensive side has the advantage, because the offensive side can change its attack direction by 0.5 at any time, but you can only adjust your actions according to his actions. "

Sakuragi nodded half understanding.

"Come on! Go on!"

Tatsuhiko continued to pull Sakuragi to work on the defense.

"Didn't I say it, don't worry!"

"!"

"Don't beat me! Sakuragi!"

"Snapped!"

"Why are you fighting again! Sakuragi!"

"Snapped!"

"Forget it, try to be less energetic next time, Sakura."

Tatsuhiko stood at the top of the arc, looking at the back of his swollen right hand, and said helplessly.

"Did you really learn it, Sakuragi?"

"I feel like I'm in great shape now!"

Sakuragi smiled happily.

"Forget it, the previous ones were a bit too difficult for you."

Tatsuhiko sighed helplessly.

His right hand is still aching.

"Is there any quick fix?"

Tatsuhiko thought hard.

Sakuragi's height and terrifying physical strength.

"Yes!"

Tatsuhiko had an idea.

"You go after the offensive player, and as soon as he shoots, you put your hands up, with a scary look in your eyes, and that might work."

Sakuragi was puzzled.

"Is that all right?"

Eyes? Terrifying eyes, he is good at this.

"Remember to roar again at that time!"

Tatsuhiko smiled, he already thought of the scene of Fujima being yelled at by Sakuragi when he shot the ball.

"Really can?"

"Of course, this is the quickest way. You have to learn the rest slowly and digest it a little bit! After all, defense can't be learned in a day or two." Let's use this for now

Law!"

Sakuragi nodded obediently.

"Thank you so much! Tatsuhiko!"

"I won't be teased by them in the next game."

After training for a while, the two went home. .
