NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

Next, Hanamichi became more confident and he continued to attack Sanno's inside line.

Completely gave up relatively "soft" scoring methods such as jump shots and hook shots.

Either make a layup and cause a foul, or use your physical fitness to score a tough goal.

Masahiro Nobe had no way to limit Hanamichi's offense and could only watch Hanamichi wreak havoc under his own basket again and again.

And once Kawata Masashi comes to double-team him.

The "Gorilla" Akagi, who received the precise pass from Hanamichi and was full of energy, and the powerful outside firepower support from Shohoku could deal a fatal blow to Sannoh.

Sanwang's defense was suddenly caught off guard.

Hanamichi not only had a smooth offensive performance, but he also completely blocked Sannoh's scoring possibilities in the interior on defense.

Kazunari Fukatsu skillfully organized the team's offensive operations on the outside.

After Hanamichi's two consecutive dunks, the team's brain had the idea of ​​assisting the inside and letting Yamato fight back.

As for the other player in the inside?

Looking at Masahiro Nobe who was struggling under the invasion of Hanamichi, Fukatsu said ~ Not considering it for now!

Finally, after attracting Hanamichi's help defense, the ball was passed to Masashi Kawata.

Although Masashi Kawata is only 194cm tall and slightly shorter than Akagi, his arm span gives him enough of an advantage!

In addition, in terms of tonnage, it is not inferior to Akagi.

Akagi's skillful back-to-the-basket play and footwork under the basket made it a bit difficult, especially the connection between the two.

Just when Masashi Kawata gained some space by back-to-back against Akagi for the second time, he quickly turned around and pretended to shoot under the basket.

Akagi, who was relatively slow in steps, was fooled and stood up to block the shot.

Yamato looked at Akagi flying past him, smiled confidently, and then...

Then he stopped laughing.

Because after fooling Akagi with a fake move, he was ready to dunk to boost his morale.

Just after he jumped up with the ball, in mid-air, his hands were pressed down by a huge force from behind!

It turned out to be Hanamichi who came over to reinforce the defense.

While wreaking havoc on Masahiro Nobe, Hanamichi also turned his attention to Masashi Kawata.

This volleyball smash-style block completely shattered Yamatoda's idea of ​​scoring.

Hanamichi, who successfully blocked the shot, deliberately said sarcastically to his captain amid the excited screams of the audience:

"Hahahaha, [Gorilla], there will also be a day when you will be fooled by [East African Ape Man]!"

Akagi, with slightly red temples, said with a bit of embarrassment:

"Shut up!"

Then he followed Huamichi to defend!

In fact, rather than being a mockery of flower arrangement, it is more like an alternative reminder from flower arrangement.

I don’t know if Hanamichi’s taunt is the same as [Sakuragi Army], and has some kind of bonus to his teammates.

Anyway, at least Akagi's spirit and attention are more focused. Although he is still a certain distance away from Yamato in terms of skills and footwork under the basket, at least he will not be easily fooled by his fake moves.

Plus Huadao would provide reinforcements from time to time.

The basket has completely become Sanwang’s restricted area!

After all, Akagi and Hanamichi's level under the basket has reached the top national level, while Nobe Masahiro is not only slightly inferior in overall level, but even his proud rebounding skills have been hit by Hanamichi, which caused a chain reaction in the interior.

The balance of strength in the penalty area has completely tilted towards Xiangbei.

Sannoh's coach Domoto is well aware of the consequences that will arise if the inside line is unbalanced in this era where the inside line is king.

However, even the best cook cannot cook without rice. Although the comparison between Akagi and Yamatoda was slightly biased, it was still within his expectations.

It was this red-haired No. 10 whose strength far exceeded his expectations!

On the other hand, the players who can match him are:

[Totem Pole] fell down!

[Meatball Man] is injured!

Once Yamatoda is asked to defend Hanamichi, Akagi will be free to deal with Nobe, whose mentality is broken at the moment.

Akagi is the best at fighting a favorable battle!

Look at Sanno's outside line, Matsumoto is still entangled with Mitsui!

Now he can only rely on Zebei's excellent personal ability to score points.

At this time when the offensive firepower was lacking, Kazunari Fukatsu finally stood up.

As the captain of Sannoh, Kazunari Fukatsu has always been a player with excellent offense and defense.

It’s just that when his team has better offensive options, he will not take the initiative to choose to attack.

But the current situation on the field is extremely unfavorable to Sanwang.

He finally chose to take action!

Although Xiangbei has tight defense, Miyagi still has inherent positional defects in defense.

Two consecutive unreasonable outside shots allowed Sanno to pull back 6 points.

And as the second half progressed, the physical fitness of the Shohoku team was still inferior to that of the Sannoh team, which had been undergoing rigorous training on a daily basis.

Especially for Ryouta Miyagi and Rukawa Kaede, who played the whole game, it was inevitable that they conceded consecutive goals to Kazunari Fukatsu and Eiji Sawakita on the defensive end.

But fortunately, Hanamichi and Akagi have the advantage in the interior.

The game entered the final crucial moment, with 5 minutes left.

The score between the two sides is 94:88, with Xiangbei leading by 6 points!

At this time, Hanamichi got the ball.

Without hesitation, he turned and rushed to the basket.

At this time, the benefits and stability brought by [Dynamite Layup] are still better than [Iron Blood Jump Shot].

Coupled with the "net closing plan" targeting Sanno's inside line, the foul tactics are finally going to bear fruit.

Therefore, at this time, Hua Dao decided to use the [Explosive Layup] skill package with his heart.

Masashi Kawata of Sanno Industrial has already committed three fouls, and Masahiro Nobe has also committed his fourth foul.

Just one or two more times and one of them would be kicked out completely.

At that time, the remaining people will be unable to carry on on their own, and the chain reaction caused by this will even cause the entire Sanno team to fall into the abyss of absolute defeat.

And the balance of victory will completely tip towards Shohoku because of the sudden weakening of Sannoh's inside strength!

"not good!"

Yamato looked at Hanamichi who turned and passed him by, heading straight for Nobe Masahiro, and shouted:

"Don't be fooled! Nobe, he's trying to trick you into committing a foul!"

When Nobe Masahiro heard this, he was startled and remembered that he had already committed four fouls.

Thinking back to Hanamichi's previous dunk, how he tried his best but failed to stop it and instead got called for a foul, I felt a chill in my heart.

He quickly pulled away from the restricted area, seemingly avoiding Hanamichi on purpose.

"Hahaha, Sanwang, your inside players are like clay to this genius!"

Hanamichi leaped in the restricted area, dunked the ball into the basket, and then taunted loudly.

“It was so easy to score this time!”

Although this failed to drive Nobe Masahiro out of the game.

The "closing plan" was also discovered by Masashi Kawata in the last 5 minutes.

But the purpose that Huadao wanted was still achieved!

Next, Sannoh's inside players will be afraid to act rashly because of their own sharp attack.

After all, Sannoh has no one who can replace Masashi Kawata and Masahiro Nobe!

With Hanamichi's dunk, the score returned to 8 points.

There were still 5 minutes left in the game, and the audience knew the situation on the field was extremely unfavorable to Sannoh.

Just as Hanamichi scored a goal, Goro Domoto signaled to the technical table and used the last long timeout he had.

He squatted on the sidelines of the court and could sense the uneasiness of his players without even looking.

"Don't panic, everyone!"

Domoto Goro tried his best to make his voice sound calmer:

"We still have a chance, play according to tactics!"

He looked up at the scoreboard, then at his players:

"Kawata, are you still strong enough?"

"no problem!"

Nobunaga Kawata gritted his teeth, he knew that in the coming time, he would have to take on the responsibility of the team's inside defense.

In addition, we need to help Nobe more, as the latter no longer has the opportunity to make mistakes.

"Very good, Fukatsu, you will be responsible for organizing the attack."

"If you have a chance, shoot it yourself. If you don't have a chance, pass the ball to Zebei and Matsumoto."

"Matsumoto, you need to move more and look for opportunities. If the opponent double-teams Zebei, you need to shoot decisively."

"Everyone else, pay attention to defense and rebounding!"

Goro Domoto quickly arranged the tactics and then took the time to let the players rest.

The team members nodded one after another, indicating that they understood...

…………

"Okay, let's get on the field! Let's fight together until the last moment!"

Goro Domoto stood up, clapped his hands and encouraged the players.

"Yes!"

In the stands, players from the national powerhouse teams were paying close attention to Sannoh's coach Domoto.

I look forward to what tactics he can come up with to turn the tide.

"In the last five minutes, the situation was extremely unfavorable to our team."

"Domoto managed to rally the army's morale just by taking a long pause."

"It seems that he has other strengths besides stubborn self-confidence."

Coach Takato is also a frequent participant in national competitions and is familiar with Goro Domoto.

At this moment, I was secretly amazed at Domoto.

"But unfortunately, I met the unfathomable coach Anzai!"

[Takato Kaede]'s senior and nemesis [Tanaka Ali] also agreed with Takato's point of view through the TV.

However, as this was his first time entering the national competition, he could understand Coach Domoto's helplessness.

If he were to be honest with himself, Coach Tanaoka himself was not completely confident that he could beat the Sanno Industrial team in front of him.

However, he is even less confident of defeating the current Xiangbei team!

"Maybe tomorrow's national final will be a rematch between the champion and runner-up of Kanagawa Prefecture!"

He watched the live broadcast quietly, thinking secretly:

"Even with the best tactics and coaching, without strong players, there is no possibility of supporting the script!"

In terms of personal strength, Xiangbei's starting players are not inferior to Sannoh at all.

When Sanno was "blinded" by the true strength of the Shohoku team, they had already fought with all their might and pursued the team relentlessly!

The current gap of about 8 points on the field is not so much a gap in the players' abilities.

It would be better to say that it was the difference in the coach's deployment of troops and prior planning.

Facing the experienced and skilled coach Anzai, can Coach Domoto catch up in the final moments?

The answer is – No!

After the timeout, Akagi returned to the game and faced Sannoh's slightly timid inside line, and he finally found the feeling of fighting with the wind in his hands.

After receiving the pass from Hanamichi and scoring the goal, his confidence soared.

He shouted to his teammates:

"The national overlord has been pushed into a desperate situation by us."

"They are now like trapped beasts fighting."

"Just pass the ball into the paint. Hanamichi and I will give them the fatal blow!"

While returning to defense, Mitsui patted Akagi on the shoulder and said:

"Alright, defeat Sanwang! We'll support you from the outside!"

The excitement of the Xiangbei team and the momentum of defeating Sannoh caused Uncle Maki in the stands to think deeply.

(For details, please see ~ Slam Dunk SD Episode 77 ~ You Are the Strongest)

The arrogant conversation between the Xiangbei people simply shows that they do not take Sannoh seriously.

Kazunari Fukatsu was the first player to return to defense. He stood at the center line and shouted to his teammates:

"Don't try to win their battles with words. Go back to defense and play according to the coach's instructions."

"Don't forget, our goal is to win the national championship for the fourth time in a row!"

At this final moment, the serious Kazunari Fukatsu even forgot to add the word "lie" after his last sentence.

It can be seen that he has devoted himself to the basketball game at this time.

There wasn't even any extra time to think about how I was speaking.

Maki Shinichi, who had fought with Fukatsu Ichi, knew it best:

"It seems that Xiangbei has put a lot of pressure on Sannoh. Even Fukatsu has given up his funny way of speaking. This shows that the situation on the field is really very serious."

Kiyota Nobunaga kept talking about things that were not related to the topic:

"Captain, did you get Sanno's No. 4 to stop being weird last year?"

Maki Shinichi: “…”

Coach Gaotou gently waved his folding fan and said:

"As long as Xiangbei can withstand Sanwang's final counterattack, the outcome will be decided!"

All the strong teams in the stands are optimistic that Xiangbei will overthrow Sanno, the dominant team that has been suppressing all national teams.

Even judging from the field, Xiangbei has shown greater potential.

But after all, it is a public school, and there is no corresponding training method and strong support from the school.

In addition, Coach Anxi is old.

Even if Xiangbei is strong, it will only be strong in these two years.

When Xiangbei fell from the altar, it was the "Warring States Period" with many heroes fighting for power!
