Sakuragi's road to NBA superstardom

Chapter 34

Takenori Akagi, Hanamichi Sakuragi, Kaede Rukawa, Hisashi Mitsui, Ryota Miyagi, and the Five Tigers of Shonhoku are all returning to their positions. Only a complete Shohoku can truly approach the dream of dominating the country.

After Sakuragi Hanamichi came out of Taoyuan to call for the championship, the only possible gap in the team was filled, and the whole Xiangbei team worked hard towards the same goal.

The time came to May of 93. The Kanagawa County Competition and the National Competition qualifiers finally came. Shonhoku High School ushered in the first opponent of Group B, Miuradai High School.

After several months of hard training, Sakuragi Hanamichi has upgraded his close-range shooting to 50, free throw value to 50, layup ability value to 45, overall ability value to 74, and his confrontation level is amateur.

The super topical character Yingmu Huadao has no explosive topics since the warm-up match with Lingnan High School. The major media's follow-up reports on him are limited to his excellent cultural class scores that he often gets full marks in the exam.

Unlike the plot in the manga, the four starters in Shonhoku except Takenori Akagi were not banned from starting by coach Anzai, because the violent incident was cleverly concealed by Hanamichi Sakuragi.

Coach Anxi no longer pursued this matter, and all the five Xiangbei Tigers started in today's game.

Facing Miuradai High School, although everyone in Xiangbei did not underestimate the enemy, they were also full of confidence. They were still very satisfied with their first round against Miuratai.

Coincidentally, Miuradai High School was also very happy to face Shohoku in the first round. The Miuratai generals believed that the team had developed an invincible secret weapon, and it was very appropriate to use a pseudo-strong team like Shohoku to sacrifice the flag.

Yingmu Huadao realized a problem. By observing Miuradai's training, he found that Miuradai's current strength is far stronger than the manga level in his memory.

It turned out that Yingmu Huadao's outstanding performance in the game against Lingnan High School inspired the training enthusiasm of many watching teams. Every player who watched Yinggi Huadao's game devoted [-]% of his energy in the subsequent training. Their goal was to defeat this topical character and become famous in one fell swoop!
Although Yingmu Huadao has been famous for a while, today's game is his first official game. Even the soul in Yinggi Hanadao's body is the first time to participate in such a game. After all, he was only a commentator.

Third-party referees in referee uniforms, a comprehensive gymnasium that can accommodate [-] spectators, and enthusiastic fans that are full of seats. Such a high-level match made Hanamichi Sakuragi a little nervous, but more of it was uncontrollable excitement.

Although this competition was the first round of the county competition, the well-known Yingmuhuadao still attracted countless attention.

All major sports columnists arrived, and other teams that had no games also arrived one after another.

Sakuragi Hanamichi and Boss Aoi had already anticipated this situation. Aoi sprayed out a line of small characters on Sakuragi Hanamichi's sneakers, which said blessings from his brother.

If Sakuragi Hanamichi can have an outstanding performance in the first game, his sneaker story will definitely get a lot of attention.

The two sides began to warm up. Under the leadership of Akagi Takenori, Shonhoku High School was doing some basic warm-up moves, while Miuradai had already started shooting warm-up.

There was a muffled bang, and the audience exclaimed.

Miuradai's big bald head, No. 9 insider Naito Tetsu also warms up and dunks!

Sakuragi Hanamichi was very impressed with this person. Naito Tetsuya was originally the hopeful star of Miuradai High School's rugby team, but he angrily joined the basketball team after being bullied by his seniors.

Tetsuya Naito is 1.9m155 tall and weighs 11KG. It is said that he can run the [-]m in about [-] seconds. His dark skin and bald head also show his mixed race identity.

Looking at the beast-like Naito Tetsuya Sakuragi Hanamichi thought of a saying in the NFL (National Football League), only those with poor physical fitness can play in the NBA, which also shows how terrible the physical fitness of football players is.

According to Yingmu Huadao's past experience, men with such physical fitness are often poor technical guys, and Naito Tetsu in the manga is also a beginner with very weak basic skills.

But now Tetsu Naito in front of Hanamichi Sakuragi is also dribbling the ball in a decent way, and then slam dunks after a series of sassy operations!
Naito Tetsuya's warm-up made the audience who entered the venue in advance very enjoyable!
"That bald dunk dunk is Hanamichi Sakuragi, right?"

"It looks like it's moving, but isn't Sakuragi Hanamichi red-haired?"

"You can see a red-haired man doing stretching on the opposite side. Yingmu Huadao must think that there are too many people who imitate him, so he simply shaved his head."

"It makes sense!" "It makes sense!"

Tetsuya Naito's warm-up show made many viewers who came to join in the fun mistakenly think that he is Hanamichi Sakuragi.

In fact, Naito Tetsuya’s rapid progress is also partly due to Sakuragi Hanamichi. Naito Tetsuya also went with the team to watch the warm-up match between Shonhoku High School and Lingnan High School. The performance of the first-year freshman Sakuragi Hanamichi shocked his heart.

When Tetsuya Naito learned through the magazine that Hanamichi Sakuragi was a basketball beginner, his self-esteem was greatly touched. He, who has always regarded himself as a sports genius, was naturally unwilling to be resigned to others. Only then did the crazy training and rapid progress later.

After a series of dunks, Tetsuya Naito still didn't blush and his heart beat. Although his skin was very dark and he couldn't tell whether he was red or not, he just had good physical strength.

Constantly showing amazing athletic talent, Naito Tetsuya's operations made many viewers look forward to the upcoming game even more.

After a few minutes of observation, Sakuragi found that this Naito Tetsuya was really not flamboyant, but so what?

Sakuragi Hanamichi himself is not the same Sakuragi Hanamichi who dunked on Naito Tetsuya's bald head, causing him to foam at the mouth!
Yingmu Huadao figured out a truth, the appearance of a super rookie like himself is like a big catfish appearing in a clear stream.

The powerful big catfish stirred their bodies, which sharply deteriorated the living environment of the small fish, but the harsh environment did improve the adaptability of the small fish.

This is the catfish effect that Sakuragi Hanamichi brought to Kanagawa County high school basketball shoes. The strength of all the teams has improved to a certain extent. The road to the national competition is destined to be uneven.

It is the instinct of high-level athletes to be strong when they are strong, and Hanamichi Sakuragi doesn't care how strong his opponent becomes because of himself!

"Shohoku High School, today is the day I, Tetsuya Naito, become famous.

We, Miuradai High School, are the team representing Kanagawa in the national competition! "

Naito Tetsu also walked to the middle circle amidst the cheers of the audience, and said loudly.
