NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

The school leader of Shohoku High School~Principal Uchimura.

At the invitation of Coach Anxi the day before the semi-finals, I arrived at the audience seats early today.

When he came here, he really didn't expect that his team would play to this level.

Not only did they make it to the top four in the country, they also had an uneventful semi-final match, suppressing the defending champion Sannoh the entire game.

It’s a pity that the school publicity department was not brought along, and the cheerleading team wasn’t loud enough. I always felt like something was missing!

Well, it’s all Coach Anzai’s fault.

You said you have been in Xiangbei for so long, but you have never cared about anything.

Then he suddenly became serious and called me to tell me that Xiangbei was about to dominate the country!

Can you believe this?

Anyway, Principal Uchimura would not have believed it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

But it was still out of support for their own team to reach the national top four for the first time.

(Actually, it was Coach Anxi’s reminder)

I personally came to Hiroshima to express my condolences (for vacation).

"Fortunately, I didn't reject Anxi. Otherwise, it would be a joke if there wasn't a senior representative from the school to show up to receive the award tomorrow!"

Principal Uchimura secretly felt relieved.

As an outsider, he also saw clearly that Xiangbei had an absolute advantage in the match against Sannoh.

As for tomorrow's opponent in the final, Ryonan, not to mention that we have already defeated them once before in the county.

Take their main center for example, he is still lying in the hospital bed!

After thinking for a long time, Principal Uchimura finally decided to apply for scholarships for Shohoku's main players.

Otherwise, what if he gets poached?

These players on the field are all real "money trees"!

Next year's enrollment will depend on them to make our Xiangbei famous.

…………

The scene returns to the court, and Kazunari Fukatsu continues to arrange the game.

"Zebei, if Akagi and Mitsui of Xiangbei continue to play pick-and-roll, you should directly double-team Mitsui who has the ball."

"I'll go help you defend Rukawa Kaede."

"Miyagi doesn't have the ability to shoot from mid-range, so we just need to watch his breakthrough!"

The more tense the situation is, the more we should pay attention to Xiangbei's outside firepower.

If Mitsui were allowed to continue firing, Sannoh's attempt to catch up would become a joke.

Normally speaking, Kazunari Fukatsu's thoughts and judgments were not wrong.

But...there is always a but!

Just after Fukatsu finished explaining the defensive strategy, Miyagi of Shohoku had already attacked with the ball.

He launched an attack from the top of the arc. Fukatsu defended his breakthrough while keeping an eye on Rukawa's position.

After all, if Zebei double-teams Mitsui, he will have to quickly defend Rukawa.

Fortunately, Miyagi's shooting ability is insufficient, and his scoring ability is not very high except for breaking through, otherwise Fukatsu would not dare to give the order to double-team.

Miyagi broke through with the ball and rushed directly to the basket with Kazunari Fukatsu.

After crossing the baseline, he broke out from the other side with his agile body.

However, Fukatsu was blocked by Akagi and Hanamichi in the penalty area.

"Not good! Nobe, go and reinforce the defense!"

Kazunari Fukatsu watched Miyagi step on the edge of the paint area, stop the ball and prepare to shoot.

So he hurriedly reminded Nobe Masahiro that he didn't dare to bet that Miyagi didn't have the ability to shoot in an open position at this position.

Nobe's reinforcement was very timely.

Miyagi was afraid of his height and wingspan, so he changed the shot into a pass and gave it to Mitsui who was running into space.

When Akagi saw Mitsui holding the ball, he quickly ran to the high post to set up a screen.

Fukatsu quickly went to guard Rukawa, while Zebei went over to double-team Mitsui!

Mitsui was helpless. Before Akagi could get support with the pick-and-roll, he was double-teamed by Zebei and Matsumoto.

The two were afraid of committing fouls, so they gave Mitsui three free throws, and therefore their defense against Mitsui was very accurate.

At this time, there were less than 5 seconds left in Xiangbei's -second attack.

"Hurry up, Xiao San!"

Hanamichi said anxiously.

Mitsui also knew that he had held the ball for too long and there was not much time left to attack.

Just when he was about to take the risk.

Suddenly, a voice asking for the ball was heard.

It was Miyagi who ran out from near the restricted area.

Miyagi took the basketball from behind Mitsui and dribbled quickly to an open space one step outside the penalty area.

When no one is guarding him, he stands up and shoots a jump shot.

"This shot is a random one, it won't go in at all!"

"Grab the rebound!"

Fukatsu shouted.

"Not necessarily!"

Coach Anxi looked at the projected basketball and spoke slowly.

What followed was the sound of a basketball hitting the net!

"Okay!"

Although Miyagi has only been practicing mid-range shots for a short time, he does not have the amazing learning talent and system buffs like Hanamichi.

But at least he still has a certain accuracy in fixed positions one or two steps outside the penalty area, especially in open spaces!

Kazunari Fukatsu miscalculated!

"This time, the Mountain King has completely lost sight of the big picture!"

A Shen looked at the Shohoku players celebrating after the goal, which formed a sharp contrast with Kazunari Fukatsu who was standing alone with his hands on his hips looking at them.

In Sannoh's offense, Zebei Rongji chose to face Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede [layup and lob shot].

The arc of his shot this time was very high.

The basketball seemed to have been floating in the air for a century.

Although the ball was not blocked by Hanamichi, it was obvious that he lost his aim.

The basketball hit the neck of the basket and jumped high.

Masashi Kawata and Akagi jumped together under the basket.

"This ball is mine!"

"Don't even think about it!"

The two men refused to give in to each other in mid-air and pushed the ball into the air again.

It was picked up by Hanamichi who jumped for the second time.

"Thanks!"

Hanamichi, who had taken advantage of the situation, quickly dribbled the ball and launched a counterattack after grabbing the rebound.

Soon it was Sanno's half.

Facing Zebei Rongzhi who was standing at the free throw line and returning to defense in time, Hanamichi made a fake move of holding the ball with both hands and preparing for a jump shot.

Seeing this, Zebei jumped up reflexively, ready to block the shot.

"Pretty!"

Several people at the scene said in unison.

It turned out that Hanamichi had made a fake move, and after deceiving Zebei Rongji, he dribbled and jumped to dunk.

Seeing this, Masahiro Nobe rushed over to defend and jumped towards Hanamichi.

"boom!"

Hanamichi's body met Nobe Masahiro in mid-air, like a thunderclap hitting a big tree!

Hanamichi collided head-on with Nobe Masahiro, but his body did not stop at all.

Instead, Nobe was carried along and flew a distance towards the basket.

"It's done!"

Hanamichi was overjoyed. Even if this attack failed, he could still push Sanno into the abyss.

That’s because ~ Masahiro Nobe has committed five fouls and is about to be sent off!

Hanamichi slammed the basketball into the basket through Nobe, who was knocked over by Hanamichi in mid-air and fell directly to the ground.

The dunk was so powerful that it made the basket buzz!

But soon, the referee's whistle sounded!

"Beep! White team No. 5 committed a blocking foul, Red team No. 10 scored a goal and one penalty kick was awarded!"

"Number 5 of the white team has committed five fouls, out!"

Almost all the fans in the stadium shouted in unison after Hanamichi's dunk!

Then, after the referee's decision, a violent scream was heard!

The atmosphere on the scene was pushed to a climax once again!

"He actually fooled the [No. 1 high school student in Japan]!"

"And he knocked Nobe over!"

"It's incredible!"

[Sakuragi Army] is delighted:

"Well done, Hanamichi..."

"Ah... ah... wow..."

Finally, Danan and Takamiya took out beverage bottles filled with small steel balls and started beating the rhythm in the stands.

Yohei and Noma turned around and shouted to the audience behind them:

"Everyone, come together!"

"Come on! Hanamichi!"

"Come on! Hanamichi!!"

The stands were filled with cheers for Hanamichi!

Haruko watched this scene, then stared at Hanamichi, who was bathed in the spotlight, and murmured with emotion:

"Hanamichi, he's getting stronger and stronger!"
