Sakuragi's road to NBA superstardom

Chapter 43 The edge of the cliff
Now the two core members of Miuradai High School, Tetsuya Naito and Kengo Muramame, have all been temporarily defeated by Hanamichi Sakuragi, and the best opportunity for Shohoku High School to chase points has come.

Akagi Takenori, who suppressed a game, would never give up such an opportunity. He and Sakuragi Hanamichi overwhelmed the weak Miuradai penalty area. The two worked together to grab all the rebounds and scored eight points in the paint.

After a small climax of 16-4, Xiangbei High School finally overtook the score.

66-64!

The current rating of Yingmu Huadao has also risen to A+5 points, and the number of fans has also reached 3215.

With the last 2 minutes left in the game, coach Harada of Miuradai High School also called a timeout. After the timeout, Tetsuya Naito and Kengo Murasame will definitely return, and then it will be the final battle!

Back from the timeout, Miura Daiko served the ball, Kazuo Araki still held the ball at the top of the arc, called the second tactic, Naito Tetsu also put on the pick-and-roll.

Naito Tetsu also made a fake shot, and Akagi Takenori didn't suffer this time. Naito Tetsu also broke through with the ball, and Akagi Takenori stepped forward to defend.

The fierce confrontation made Akagi Takenori take a step back, and Naito Tetsu also stepped back to shoot a three-pointer, hitting the board head-on!Three points hit!
66-67!Miuratai went ahead by another point!
Naito Tetsu also raised his arms and shouted. The handling of this ball reminded Hanamichi Sakuragi of Cousins ​​before the Achilles tendon injury. Cousins ​​was also able to occasionally make a stroke of genius in the last anxious moment.

The appearance of Miuratai's inside twin towers forced Xiangbei to shift the offensive center, although foul-making tactics are the best choice at this moment.

But now who would easily reveal his flaws!

There is only more than one minute left in the game, and Xiangbei's attack is cautious.

After a round of conduction, he didn't find a good opportunity. In the end, Miyagi Ryota gave the ball to Rukawa Kaede who was 45 degrees on the right in the middle distance.

It is relatively the best way for Rukawa Kaede to play Miyamoto Kazunari in singles with the ball.

Rukawa Kaede put the ball with his right hand and went straight to the right to break through. Miyamoto and Kazuki kept getting stuck in the path with their arms open.

Everyone's defensive posture is now clearly explained, because as long as there is a foul, the opponent will be sent to the free throw line.

Seeing that he was about to break into the dead corner of the basket, Rukawa Kaede turned around sharply, put Miyamoto and Chengka behind him, and stepped on the three-second zone line to throw directly!

Naito Tetsu, who was far away, also flew over across the three-second zone. At the highest point of the ball's flight trajectory, he directly refused!
Naito Tetsuya slapped the ball out of the sideline with a volleyball smash, and the audience exclaimed!
Naito Tetsuya: "Shohoku, you just let your horses come here!
No one can get past my defense of Tetsuya Naito! "

Faced with Naito Tetsuya's provocation, everyone in Xiangbei ignored him at all.

There are only three seconds left in the attack time. Hanamichi Sakuragi finds Mitsui with a sideline serve. There is not much time left.

The ball hit the basket and bounced high, the congested three-second zone became chaotic, and the six big men scrambled for this crucial rebound together.

After repeated point grabs, Naito Tetsu also stood out from the other five, and he grabbed the backcourt rebound!Control the ball!
After Xiangbei High School failed to fight back on the spot, it immediately retreated to its own half to organize defense.

Miuratai point guard Kazuo Araki is pressing the time, after all, the point is one point ahead, and the buzzer attack is the best choice.

With eight seconds left in the attack time, Kazuo Araki scored a three!This is the first time Miuradai has called this tactic!
Sakuragi Hanamichi felt that the situation was not good, and the tactics were activated. Naito Tetsuya still put on the pick-and-roll and pulled out the three-point line. Sakuragi Hanamichi is now defending Muramame Kengo who is standing in the low post on the left.

Sakuragi Hanamichi didn't understand that this tactic was almost exactly the same as No. [-] tactic, but why did Kazuo Araki compare it to No. [-]?
Tetsuya Naito aimed at the basket at the top of the arc at the three-point line. Takenori Akagi didn't dare to bet on Tetsuya Naito's touch, so he could only take off to block the shot.

Yingmu Huadao made up for the inside line and has made multiple defensive preparations.

Just when Tetsuya Naito was about to hit Hanamichi Sakuragi, he suddenly stopped, hit the ground with his left hand and passed the ball to Kengo Muramame who had been lying in wait for a long time.

Kengo Muramame took the ball and took off to shoot directly. Sakuragi Hanamichi immediately turned around and took off to block the shot.

Sakuragi Hanamichi, who jumped with all his strength, thought that he absolutely blocked the goal angle of the ball, but the ball flew past him.

This is not a shot!But then realized it was too late!
It turned out that Muramame Kengo was a fake jump shot, and his real intention was to return an alley-oop pass to Naito Tetsuya!
Naito Tetsuya took off from the original title, picked the melon behind his head with both hands and grabbed the ball, and tightened his stomach!Dunk with both hands!
This time the wonderful cooperation attracted a lot of applause, which also pushed the balance of victory to Miuradai High School.

Coach Anxi called a timeout.

When the players in Xiangbei quickly returned to their seats, Sakuragi Hanamichi pulled the referee to whisper a few words, and then hurried back.

比赛时间只剩下50秒！66-69！内藤铁也的5分1封盖，直接把湘北高中推向了悬崖的边缘。

It is a difficult decision whether the ball is to fight for a three-pointer or grab a quick two-pointer.

Coach Anzai: "Sakuragi and Akagi, you two try to run an off-ball pick-and-roll for Rukawa Kaede and Mitsui to see if there are any good three-point opportunities.

If there is no three-point opportunity, Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede, you will hit the inside, remember to hit the inside, even if you can't score directly, you must get free throws.

Regardless of whether the fight is successful or not, we have to complete the attack in about 15 seconds, so that we will have an attack opportunity of at least 5 seconds left in the end.

Come on everyone, we can win. "

Coach Anxi's arrangements have been exhausted. As for what kind of performance can be achieved, it still depends on the efforts of the players on the field.

The Shohoku team kicked off, and Miuradai was man-to-man!

Sakuragi Hanamichi and Akagi Takenori implemented Coach Anzai's tactical intentions, and they were constantly setting up off-ball screens for Mitsui Hisashi and Rukawa Kaede.

But Miyagi Ryota, who had been dribbling the ball to find opportunities, was still unable to find an open opportunity, and the attack time went by 10 seconds.

With 15 seconds remaining from the 10 seconds assigned by coach Anzai, Miyagi Ryota started a breakthrough and prepared to kill the inside line. Kazuo Araki always maintained a good defensive position.

Miyagi Ryota disguised himself in front of his body, and finally shook off Kazuo Araki's defense, and came to the three-second zone, Miyagi Ryota jumped up and prepared to layup.

Naito Tetsu, who came from the supplementary defense, also jumped up and waited for the opportunity to block the block. In order to avoid the block, Miyagi Ryota could only use a very difficult right hand sideways hook.

Although the ball passed Tetsuya Naito's defense, the price was the loss of accuracy and missed hits!

Naito Tetsu also immediately took off for the second time to grab the backcourt rebound!

At a critical juncture, the magic soldiers of Yingmuhuadao descended from the sky!
