Slam Dunk, Start with a Perfect Three-Pointer

A few more days passed.

Kaede Rukawa's style of play is also getting hotter.

Compared with the previous slam dunk, Kaede Rukawa is actively looking for opportunities for physical confrontation on the court.

Compared with the previous smart and elegant breakthrough.

Kaede Rukawa used his body more to cover his drive.

It seemed that the scene was extremely hot.

But it also improved Kaede Rukawa's offensive efficiency to a large extent.

In previous offenses, Kaede Rukawa just wasn't very good at using his body.

Although his physical fitness cannot be compared with a talented monster like Tatsuhiko Sakuragi.

But look to the high school basketball world.

Definitely a top player.

Kaede Rukawa's flexibility and coordination are far better than ordinary players.

Add to that his wingspan and hand size.

Kaede Rukawa is able to take advantage of these natural advantages.

Becoming a super scorer as good as Sendoh is not a difficult problem.

But the previous Sendoh didn't know why.

It doesn't make good use of its physical advantages.

Instead, he is using his excellent ball handling skills and explosiveness more.

And it is for this reason.

Kaede Rukawa is always at a disadvantage in Sendoh's 1v1 head-on dialogue.

But since Kaede Rukawa started to actively use physical confrontation.

The change in his playing style is noticeable.

Use the body to your advantage, except for talented monsters like Sakuragi and Tatsuhiko.

Players like Mitsui Miyagi.

Basically unable to stop Kaede Rukawa's breakthrough.

And his breakthrough offensive ability has also been greatly improved. '

"This has been going on for days!"

Ayako looked at Kaede Rukawa on the court with some concern.

"His state cannot continue like this, it may lead to internal conflicts!" "Seven Sixty Zero"

Ayako said irritably.

Kaede Rukawa's shoulder hit Sakuragi's chest hard.

Even Sakuragi grinned and rubbed his chest.

"Dead fox, are you crazy, why are you so hard!"

"Idiot, don't defend if you can't defend!"

Kaede Rukawa gave Sakuragi a disdainful look, looked up and made a mid-range shot.

"Why can't you keep it, a sleepy genius can't keep you?"

Upon hearing Kaede Rukawa's words, Sakuragi immediately lost his temper.

"If Tatsuhiko hadn't asked me to practice with you, I wouldn't have bothered to guard against you today! Cut!"

"unnecessary!"

Kaede Rukawa turned to look in Tatsuhiko's direction.

Tatsuhiko looked at Sakuragi and Kaede Rukawa who were practicing against each other with great interest.

"Seeing that you have practiced post-up singles for several days, let Sakuragi be your partner and practice his ability to defend inside players!"

"It doesn't matter!"

Kaede Rukawa shook his head and continued his serious training.

Watching Kaede Rukawa so hot.

Ayako et al. are concerned.

"Is it okay to go on like this?"

Tatsuhiko was relieved.

"He can handle these things by himself, don't worry."

In fact, Tatsuhiko can still understand some of Kaede Rukawa's mood.

Kaede Rukawa is an exceptionally focused person, and also one who pursues perfection very much.

In the field of basketball.

He is the one who must do his best.

It is precisely because of this reason.

He puts so much pressure on himself.

And Mike Okita's performance has obviously stimulated Kaede Rukawa.

Although Mike Okita's strength is compared with Kaede Rukawa.

It is only between brothers.

Even Kaede Rukawa's offensive ability is stronger than that of Mike Okita.

But Kaede Rukawa's flaws are just that.

"Knowledge in all disciplines is not as good as mastery!"

Kaede Rukawa knows all kinds of offensive skills such as three-pointers, mid-range, breakthroughs, slam dunks, pull-bars, and throws.

But he never had a proficient technique.

In the face of strong defensive pressure, it is also possible to score points.

This is Kaede Rukawa's biggest flaw.

And Kaede Rukawa's ability to break double teams is really too weak.

One side double-teams.

Kaede Rukawa has no voice at all.

This is also where he urgently needs to improve.

"It's okay, just practice more, Rukawa is very measured!"

Ayako and others heard Tatsuhiko's words of relief.

That's why I didn't think much about it.

Shohoku's dressing room.

Akagi sighed.

"This may be the last summer, the national competition must work hard and leave no regrets."

There was a trace of emotion on Akagi's face.

"Time flies, Kogure, before you know it, it's already the last year of the county competition."

Kogure nodded.

"It's okay for the third grade to win. If they lose, they can basically announce their withdrawal from the team."

This is basically the unwritten rule of high school basketball teams.

Compared with the national competition in the summer.

The national competition in winter is far more popular than the summer competition in terms of popularity and audience.

This has also led to many strong teams showing their true strength in the winter competition.

Over time.

The winter competition is far from the summer competition not only in terms of viewing but also in atmosphere.

Plus after spring.

It's the graduation season for high school seniors.

And high school students whose goal is to continue their studies seize the last winter to study.

"By this time next year, we'll be leaving Shohoku Basketball Team!"

Kogure said with some emotion.

He really didn't want to leave here.

Shohoku Basketball Team, here carries all the memories of his youth.

His time on the basketball team.

It is even much longer than the time he stayed in the class.

I used to feel like high school was too long.

But before I knew it, it was the last time to leave the basketball team.

The figure of Yuzhu could not help appearing in Akagi's mind.

Yuzhu must be very unwilling in his heart.

Three years later, every year was the top four, and every year was blocked to the threshold of second place.

Friends and rivals for many years.

Akagi's knowledge of fish living anomalies.

In fact, he doesn't like basketball very much, but he was pulled into the basketball team because of his height and body shape.

And after that.

Yuzhu was able to persist on the court for such a long time.

More because of responsibility.

As Ryonan's captain he has the responsibility of taking Ryonan to the Nationals.

Maybe the gap between love and responsibility.

Like Akagi said the difference between the level of fish live it.

Although Yuzhu's talent is far better than Akagi.

But no matter which game is played.

Akagi firmly suppressed Yuzhu's performance.

"Yuzu should have retired, it seems that Ryonan's third grade has three people this year."

Kogure nodded, responding softly.

"There are three of us in the third grade in Shohoku, just the two of us and Mitsui. I don't know what Mitsui thinks."

While the two were chatting, Mitsui pushed the door open.

His face was full of energy.

Just had a one-on-one match with Kaede Rukawa.

He feels that his three-point level has been greatly improved compared with the middle school period.

Watching Akagi and Kogure in the locker room.

Mitsui waved hello.

"Still leaving? What kind of life are you thinking about here?"

Akagi and the two looked at each other and laughed.

"I just said, how can a heartless person like Mitsui feel anything!"

Kogure patted Mitsui on the shoulder.

"Little San, keep up well, keep working hard."

Akagi on the side also showed approval.

At the same time, the third-year players, the two of them are the veterans of the basketball team.

But it is far from Mitsui.

"It seems that I am worrying too much!"

Akagi is relieved.

Even if they leave the team, Bei still has great potential for Kanagawa.

Maybe it's possible to become the overlord in one fell swoop.

With Tatsuhiko, Kaede Rukawa, Miyagi, Sakuragi Hanamichi.

enough!

"What Riddler?"

A puzzled look appeared on Mitsui's face.

Why did he suddenly feel that today's Akagi and Kogure are a little confused.

These two people must not be under too much pressure, and there must be something wrong with their brains.

Akagi patted the shoulders of the two with his hands.

"gone!"

And on the other side.

Ryonan Secondary School.

Team training is over.

Yuzhu and Ikegami stand at the forefront.

There was a hint of sadness on the calm faces of the two of them.

Yuzhu looked at every player, every hoop and every basketball in front of him with some emotion.

And Ikegami next to him also looked gloomy.

after today.

Their basketball careers were basically over.

This is no surprise.

For an ordinary basketball team starter like Ikegami.

The bias value is what matters.

Unlike a basketball genius like Sendoh.

Their talent is visible to the naked eye.

Many famous basketball schools will contact these players early.

On the eve of graduation, they will be admitted as special admissions without examination.

But Ikegami doesn't work at all.

It seems that there are no ordinary musicians.

He has no reputation, and his strength is very average.

Basically, no university will enroll Ikegami as a basketball special.

It is precisely because of this reason.

After the summer competition, Ikegami will leave the team quickly and prepare for the spring exam.

All queues except Sendoh.

"Hasn't Sendoh come yet? Will he come today!"

Uozuki asked Ryonan and everyone softly.

Ryonan looked at each other.

In terms of lateness, Sendoh is not a first offender.

He is a habitual offender.

Missing training is even more commonplace.

"This guy, did you really miss it?"

Yuzuki sighed helplessly.

He had wanted to wait until Sendoh came to announce it.

It's just that I didn't expect it.

himself on the last side of the basketball team.

Not even the Sendoh guy.

Seeing that Sendoh didn't come, Yuzhu didn't wait.

Open your mouth and say.

"Today I quit the basketball team with Ikegami."

As soon as the words came out.

The entire Ryonan arena was so quiet that even a pin could be heard clearly.

Sendoh, who was about to enter the arena, also stopped at the door, listening to the sounds in the arena.

Although such preparations have been made.

But hearing such news, everyone was still incomparably surprised.

Hikoichi was shocked.

"Quit? Even third-year seniors usually quit after the Winter Games.

Ikegami answered.

"After losing the senior year in the summer competition, I basically have a plan in mind."

Hikoichi wanted to keep talking.

The fish pillar was directly interrupted.

"Don't keep it. I agreed with my father. If I don't win the national championship before the age of eighteen, I will go back to learn skills. Be a chef.

Everyone in Ryonan suddenly realized, no wonder it was called Yuzhu.

Sendoh at the entrance of the arena also showed a regretful expression.

He lived with the fish and played on the basketball team for two years.

In the past two years, although the relationship between them has always been tepid.

But how did I hear such news.

Even Sendoh has some regrets.

immediately.

Everyone has reluctance in their hearts.

But there is no permanent banquet in the world.

What's more, Yuzhu and Ikegami have already made plans for the next stage of life.

Everyone in Ryonan didn't hold back too much.

Yuzhu looked at the students in front of him and said softly.

"These three years of basketball career are the happiest time of my life so far, and I will always remember this time in the future."

Yuzumi said emotionally.

He is more reluctant to leave the arena than anyone.

Because this is the place to witness his growth from a boy to an indomitable man.

He thought back to when he was in middle school.

Because the height and body shape are quite different from others.

And when being bullied by others.

At that time, he was extremely lacking in self-confidence.

But now it is completely different.

As a core player of Ryanan, he used basketball to regain his self-confidence.

Tiangang coach told him.

This height is the most suitable height for playing basketball.

His heart was filled with joy.

"It's time to leave too."

Yuzhu looked at the Ryonan Arena with nostalgia.

"After Sendoh arrives, take over as captain."

Yu Zhu walked out of the basketball hall with Ikegami.

Didn't let everyone in Ryonan see his wet eye sockets.

the other side.

Kaede Rukawa walks the street alone after training.

Just happened to meet Tatsuhiko.

The two greet each other.

Go to the drink vending machine.

Tatsuhiko took out the coins and took out two bottles of drinks.

Throw to Kaede Rukawa.

Tatsuhiko sits at 0.6 on the railing, watching Kaede Rukawa who is a bit confused.

"It's good to have a dream. It's better to go step by step. The road is more stable."

He still has a good impression of Kaede Rukawa in his heart.

He is simple and honest, and his love for basketball is no lower than anyone else.

Tatsuhiko added.

"But it may not be a wise choice to go to the United States now."

Kaede Rukawa was surprised.

"How do you know what's on my mind?"

Kaede Rukawa is very sure that he has never shared his thoughts with anyone.

Tatsuhiko smiled lightly.

"I found out after the Green Wind game. Of course, this is just my suggestion. It's better to ask Coach Anzai."

Tatsuhiko finally recommended Coach Anzai to Kaede Rukawa.

Take Kaede Rukawa's talent and physical fitness.

It is basically very difficult to achieve results in the NBA.

Kaede Rukawa's physical talent is not outstanding enough, even compared to Sakuragi.

And this has largely restricted Kaede Rukawa's lower limit.

The most suitable for Kaede Rukawa is the national team and the domestic league.

"Coach Anzai should tell you which path is best for you."

finished.

Tatsuhiko stood up.

wave away

Leaving Kaede Rukawa alone to think.

"Coach Anzai?"

Then he stood up.

Head towards Coach Anzai's house.

the other side.

Tatsuhiko returns home.

Simply rinse.

Recall the process of the game.

Don't have a taste.

From Xiaobai at the beginning, he became the number one in Kanagawa.

It has a lot of influence on your own training.

"National competition, North? I don't know how strong it is? I'm looking forward to it

Fall asleep. .
