NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

In the second half, Tetsuya Naito, who originally came on the court with the hopes of the entire Miuradai village, was discovered to have a fatal flaw by the Shohoku basketball team in less than 5 minutes. Naito expressed that he felt very uncomfortable!

Every time he had the ball, the red-haired boy in front of him would close the distance from the side and steal the ball.

Although he was not able to steal the ball every time, he was able to interrupt his own offensive rhythm. Not to mention the number of times he was intercepted. He was intercepted three times in five minutes. This was really too embarrassing for Naito, who was his secret weapon!

The reason why Hanamichi dared to approach Naito from the side and press him continuously was that he and Naito had similar physical fitness.

It can be said that in some aspects, he is a weakened version of Naito, which of course is limited to physical fitness.

But at the same time, Hanamichi also knows how to deal with this type of player, not to mention that Naito still has a fatal flaw of "running in a straight line".

After Hanamichi interrupted Naito's offensive rhythm, he began to gradually lock down Naito's speed.

In the eyes of the audience, what was shown was that Naito Tetsuya, who was full of energy and unstoppable at the beginning of the second half, was suddenly suppressed by Hanamichi and became clumsy.

In addition, Hanamichi is still running to assist in defense and second attacks under the basket. Comparing the two, there is no doubt that Hanamichi is the best!

Therefore, Hanamichi, who made his first appearance in the high school league, received recognition and heated discussion from all the spectators outside the stadium. As Ayako said, Hanamichi was born with the talent to change the emotions of his teammates and the audience, and he is a real big-scene figure!

Aida Hikoichi also praised the performance of the flower arrangement, while Yuzumi sighed:

"(Sakuragi) Hanamichi's defense has become sharper. The most important thing is that he has expanded Xiangbei's effective defense area from inside the penalty area to outside the penalty area. He can quickly provide backup and assist defense from any point in the penalty area. In this way, Xiangbei's defense will become more indestructible!"

Xiandao continued:

"Corresponding to this is his unfathomable physical strength. He has been running and assisting in defense since the beginning of the game, just like a fish swimming on the court, and his movements have not slowed down at all as time goes by. This is really a big threat!"

The coach of Miuradai did not expect that Naito, the secret weapon, would be defeated so quickly. He had no other options at the moment, so he could only cheer for his own team.

But soon, after Rukawa once again avoided Naito's defense and scored a slam dunk, Miuradai completely collapsed and was no longer able to resist.

In the subsequent games, the Shohoku team blossomed in all aspects, while Miuradai could only score a few points by relying on sporadic shots.

Finally, the referee's whistle sounded, freeing the Miuradai players! The game was over.

The Xiangbei basketball team, which participated in the first high school joint game, defeated Miuradai 124:51 and won the first victory.

而花道的首次正式比赛斩获26分、14个篮板、11个盖帽、10个助攻、6个抢断。

The blocked shots were all thanks to Miyagi who kept forcing players into the penalty area in the first half to help him with backup defense and assist defense. He blocked every shot accurately.

The steal was attributed to the dedication of Tetsuya Naito. In return, Hanamichi did not reward Naito with a "slam dunk and head-pat" to send him off the court like in the original SD!

There was a cheer from the Shohoku bench. Murasaki and Shiozaki excitedly held each other's hands. Yasuda even shouted the slogan "Long live Shohoku".

Only Coach Anxi, who had experienced such a big scene, still calmly drank the tea in the cup!

(Slam Dunk Mystery 1: Coach Anxi’s teacup always has endless tea)

The captain of the Hainan University Affiliated High School basketball team, Shinichi Maki, who pretended to leave in front of Sendoh but secretly ran to the other side of the stands to watch the game, said that the trip was worthwhile and that the Shohoku basketball team was indeed a team worthy of attention.

……

On the second day, the news that the Xiangbei team won its first victory in the county joint competition spread like wildfire, and the Xiangbei basketball team became famous!

Especially the fact that they defeated Miuradai, which was once one of the top eight teams in the prefecture, with a score of over 100 points was just like a commoner family that had been poor for generations suddenly becoming an aristocratic family one day. It was simply incredible.

The Xiangbei basketball team told everyone with such a high attitude that from now on, the offense and defense would be different, the days of being a "one-man team" would be completely abandoned, and our Xiangbei basketball team would no longer be a bottom-ranked team.

At present, Xiangbei's ball possession is relatively easy to digest: after receiving guidance from Coach Anzai and observing and understanding the changes of Yuzumi, although Akagi did not understand what the side dish philosophy is, he at least understood not to put too much pressure on himself. Also, because of Hanamichi's defensive system - roaming in the penalty area, he has to go out of the penalty area to assist and make up for defense from time to time, so Akagi focuses more on guarding the basket, and secondly on scoring under the basket.

At this stage, Hanamichi is more focused on second-chance scoring and defense under the basket. As for the hook shot, Hanamichi decided not to show it for the time being, so that he can give other teams a surprise later.

Mitsui turned into a fixed turret outside the three-point line, occasionally cutting into the restricted area for a layup.

Rukawa Kaede unscrupulously displayed his desire to attack like a demon, using various stick-based singles attacks and calling out his opponents.

As the commander on the field and the brain of the team, Miyagi basically distributes the ball according to the above offensive method.

The basic approach of Xiangbei's game is to open up the inside first, then move to the outside, and finally blossom both inside and outside.

……

The regional competition rules of the county competition are to hold a round of games every week. Xiangbei's next opponent is Kaduno High School, a team with average overall strength (mediocre), without a super scorer (ace player) and inside rim protector (defensive gate).

The Kadono High School basketball team is well aware that they cannot stop the progress of the current Shohoku basketball team. After all, in terms of hard power, they are not as good as Miuradai.

As soon as the Xiangbei basketball team entered the court, the players of the Kaduno basketball team were already nervous due to the pressure from the Xiangbei basketball team's momentum.

"That! That's Akagi. Really...really strong. I didn't expect Akagi to be so huge when I saw him up close."

"Wow, those two are Shohoku's super rookies Hanamichi and Rukawa. I heard that one of them scored over 40 points in the last game, and one of them got a quadruple-double. They are so strong!"

"The one with number 14 is the best player in junior high school. He beat our school badly that year. He looks more mature now."

"Shohoku's ace defender, Ryouta Miyagi, may be short, but his speed and ability to break through are first-rate. In the last game, he had 20 assists."

Ichiro Kamiso, a third-year student at Kainan High School, and Nobunaga Kiyota, a first-year rookie, also came to watch Shohoku's game. However, unlike the original work, this time it was Nobunaga Kiyota who brought A Shen with him.

His biggest regret was that he failed to defeat Rukawa in the junior high school finals.

After winning the honorary title of the best player in junior high school and leading the team to victory and being invited by Coach Takato, he accidentally heard the audience say that the game between Toigaoka Junior High School and Wako Junior High School was more intense than the final, and the duel between Rukawa Kaede and (Sakuragi) Hanamichi was more exciting, so he began to pay attention to these two people in his heart.

In his opinion, Rukawa and Hanamichi were only slightly better in junior high school. When they entered high school, there was a world of difference between them and players like him who could start at Hainan Affiliated High School, which was one of the top four in the country.

But after junior high school, the next time I heard about them was that they both joined the Xiangbei basketball team and became starters. They scored over 100 points in their first game and defeated Miuradai, who was defeated by the Hainan team last year.

As a newcomer, Kiyota Nobunaga doesn't quite understand the feud between Kainan and Shoyo, nor does he know the confrontation between his captain Amu and Shoyo's Fujima.

Compared to Shoyo, he hopes that Kainan will meet the Shohoku basketball team after the county division preliminaries. At that time, he will defeat Rukawa and Hanamichi in front of everyone, thus establishing his title as the best rookie in Kanagawa.

Kiyota Nobunaga and Kamiso Ichiro sat cross-legged under the basketball hoop, and the game was about to begin.

"What, Coach Anxi? I'm not playing in this game?"

Akagi Takenori said in surprise!

"Oh, don't be surprised, Akagi-kun. You just don't have to start the game. I will gradually adjust the lineup for the next game. You all have to cheer for it!"

Coach Anxi explained with a smile!

So, under the surprised eyes of the audience, the Xiangbei basketball team sent out the starting players for this game:

湘北篮球队10号中锋（樱木）花道（191.5cm）、11号大前锋流川枫（187cm）、5号小前锋木暮公延（178cm）、14号得分后卫三井寿（184cm）、7号控球后卫宫城良田（168cm）。
