Chapter 38: Battle against Xiangyang (5)

Not long after the start of the second half, after Shoyo took the lead in using its killer pick-and-roll tactic, Shohoku and Shoyo started to fight off each other.

The tall teams of Mitsui, Rukawa and Shoyo refused to give in to each other.

Both sides scored one goal each.

Once the two are double-teamed, Miyagi will promptly pass the ball to Hanamichi or Akagi, and these two will take the ball under the basket.

Rukawa missed his shot after being disturbed.

Hanamichi grabbed the rebound, took a three-step layup and ran straight to the basket to shoot, shouting:

"Xiangyang, look at how powerful I am."

Fujima responded quickly:

"Hanagata, be careful of fouls!"

At this time, Hanagata is standing in advance at the position for Hanamichi's second layup. Once Hanamichi makes a layup, he will knock down Hanagata, resulting in an offensive foul.

"Hanagata is really good, but Hanamichi's ability around the basket is more than just layups!"

Shigeichi Tanaoka pointed at Hanamichi and spoke loudly unconsciously.

As if in response to Coach Tanaoka, Hanamichi's "dynamite layup" failed, so he changed the three-step layup to a one-step quick stop jump.

You know, Hanamichi also has the ability to shoot near the penalty area!

When Hanagata saw Hanamichi jump up, he immediately jumped up as well, trying to block the ball in Hanamichi's hand and teach this arrogant guy a lesson.

"Hey, you've been fooled @花形".

When Hanamichi saw Hanagata jump, he changed his shot into a pass and reached out from behind Hanagata's waist in mid-air to pass the ball to the gorilla Akagi.

This was also a small tactic that Akagi had practiced with Rukawa before, but Hanamichi took it out and learned it on the spot.

Akagi took the ball and slam-dunked with great force.

After scoring the goal, Hanamichi deliberately started to talk trash in front of Hanagata in a sarcastic and pointed way:

“As expected of Fujima! He actually saw through my foul. Too bad you, Hanagata, didn’t see through my fake move. Shoyo’s defeat is imminent. Hahahaha!”

Fujima, who was serving, stopped Hanagata's anger and said to Akagi and Hanamichi:

"If you guys in Xiangbei have the ability to do it, come and try it!"

After that, the referee signaled to pass the ball to Takano, who received the ball and passed it back to Fujima, who quickly launched a fast break.

When Xiangbei saw this, they quickly returned to defense, but they still had no particularly good way to deal with Xiangyang's pick-and-roll.

The two teams were completely at it.

……

The audience in the stands were enjoying the game watching the two teams fight each other.

And Hikoichi Aida asked:

"Coach, it seems that neither Shoyo nor Xiangbei can do anything to the other. Will this game be decided at the very end?"

Coach Tian Gang thought for a moment and said:

"In the current match, Xiangyang has a slight advantage for the time being, and the advantage will become larger and larger as the match goes on."

"But now the game has gone beyond the physical, it is a competition on the spiritual level. In this regard, I think Xiangbei currently has a slight advantage!"

"No matter what, there are no losers in this game!"

"No, I don't think so!"

Xiandao said:

“If we talk about the person who can make the biggest change on the court, and has the ability to make the biggest change, it’s that man!”

"Shohoku's No. 10 - (Sakuragi) Hanamichi! His rebounds have helped Shohoku save the situation several times in this game. With his ability, he may make a big splash in the next game!"

Upon hearing this, Aida Hikoichi flipped through his notebook and muttered:

"(Sakuragi) Hanamichi, Hanamichi, got it! He has already grabbed 11 rebounds in this game, including 5 offensive rebounds! That's a lot!"

"Yes, his rebounding ability is undoubtedly the best in the county! He is worthy of being called the little bully under the rebounds."

"But he still has an unparalleled talent that has yet to be tapped?"

"what is that?"

Aida Hikoichi asked.

Sendoh avoided answering and stared at the field seriously.

At this time, the court changed again. As Coach Anxi stared at Hanamichi and his glasses reflected the light several times, Hanamichi finally twisted his neck and said confidently:

"it's time!"

Fujima still had the ball for the Shoyo team. As soon as he and Hanagata passed half court, Hanagata stood on the three-point line and acted as a wall for Fujima.

Upon seeing this, Akagi immediately stood one step behind Hanagata, ready to prepare for Fujima to break through from the left and right directions at any time.

This time, Fujima chose to break through from the left side of his dominant hand. Akagi used his huge body to block the direction of Fujima's breakthrough in time, and at the same time stretched out his hands to cover the direction of Fujima's upward projection, providing perfect defense as always.

Unfortunately, Fujima's attack this time was a fake, and he passed the ball to Hanagata.

After acting as a wall for Fujima, Hanagata turned around and stood one step closer to the basket at the left corner, with just the right timing.

On the other side, Fujima passed the ball as soon as Hanagata finished his positioning. The 197cm tall Hanagata faced the 168cm tall Miyagi. It can be said that although Miyagi had good jumping ability, he could hardly cause any interference to the jump shot expert and flexible center Hanagata.

So Miyagi could only stand there and watch Hanagata slowly rise into the air, jump, and aim.

At this time, "Be careful!"

A hurried reminder came from the penalty area. It was Takano's voice.

A flash of red light flashed in the reflection of the flower-shaped lens.

Hua Dao, who was originally near the bottom corner of the penalty area, actually took two steps at a time and quickly rushed to the jumping position of Hua Xing, and arrived first.

The amazing speed of the bullet instantly lifted him to the same height as the flower shape! And it was slightly higher.

With a "bang", a face-to-face block made Xiangyang's pick-and-roll tactics fail.

After receiving the ball from the blocked shot, Rukawa started a fast break, bypassed Hasegawa, and slam-dunked over Nagano Mitsuru!

"Beep! Green No. 7 committed a blocking foul, white No. 11's goal was valid, one penalty kick!"

"Wow!"

The audience on the sidelines burst into cheers, all shouting for Hanamichi and Rukawa.

"Wow, this is the loudest cheer of the game! Even my limelight has been overshadowed by these two first-year juniors!"

Mitsui smiled with a hint of resentment.

Coach Anxi jumped forward and clenched his fist and said:

"That's it! Show off your talents!"
