Sakuragi's road to NBA superstardom

Chapter 92 Family Ethics Drama

The score came to 5-12. After Mikio Kawada came on the field, he caused a lot of trouble for Shohoku.

Coach Domoto Goro commanded Sanno Kogo, and adopted a defensive strategy of three-two defense. Fukatsu Kazunari, Sawakita Eiji and Matsumoto Minoru were distributed outside the three-point line.

The Wada brothers guarded the inside line together.

Coach Domoto Goro found that Hanamichi Sakuragi can only show a simple face-to-face dribble breakthrough when he is near the free throw line, but at other moments, Hanamichi Sakuragi seems to be deliberately avoiding dribbling.

It has to be said that this change in defensive formation is entirely aimed at Hanamichi Sakuragi's face-to-face breakthrough and three-point shooting.

Sanwang High School deploys heavy troops outside the three-point line, and the three-two defense can shrink the outside line and raise the inside line in the first time, which can effectively interfere with the ball passing to the free throw line.

It is extremely difficult for Sakuragi Hanamichi to catch the ball at the free throw line, let alone use the combined skills of Amare's sprint and Bawang's hard bow.

The three-person joint defense outside the three-point line also prevented Sakuragi Hanamichi from easily getting a three-point shot.

Although Sanno Gonggao did not call a timeout again, Fukatsu Kazunari still fully understood the coach's tactical intentions under the command of Domoto Goro's few words from the sidelines.

That is, if others can score, Yingmu Huadao must be strangled!

Faced with such infinite targets, Sakuragi Hanamichi also changed his game style. If he couldn't score easily, he connected the whole team together.

Sakuragi Hanamichi created a large number of openings with his own appeal, and both Rukawa Kaede and Mitsui Hisashi maintained a considerable hit rate.

Akagi Takenori and Miyagi Ryota also succeeded in sneak attacks many times.

But Xiangbei's unrestrained offense did not open the score.

Because Sanno's inner super twin towers firmly nailed Sakuragi Hanamichi to the inner line, Sanming Musketeers on Sanwang Gonggao's outer line also turned on the full-fire mode.

Although Sakuragi Hanamichi mainly defends Kawada Masashi, the Wada brothers' two-tower pick-and-roll is still very tacit.

Kawada Masashi also scored inside against Akagi Takenori when his younger brother got stuck in Sakuragi Hanamichi.

The point difference has been hovering at seven or eight points, so the two teams have been anxious until the last 7 minutes.

Except for Yingmu Huadao, the other nine players on the field were panting heavily, and their movements began to slow down.

The frantic confrontation in most of the halftime caused the physical strength of the two teams to drain rapidly.

But Sakuragi Hanamichi, who has been playing for his teammates, has not experienced too much competition intensity. He is currently the only player on the field who looks relaxed.

85-80, after Kawada Masashi scored two points, Sanno Kogo closed the score to five points.

Sakuragi Hanamichi walked to Miyagi Ryota and whispered a few words, and the Shohoku serve game continued.

Miyagi Yoshida faced Fukatsu Kazunari at the top of the arc and dribbled the ball looking for an opportunity.

Sakuragi Hanamichi turned around empty-handed and came directly to the mid-range position at a 45-degree angle on the right. Miyagi Ryota passed the ball behind his left hand and accurately delivered the ball to Sakuragi Hanamichi.

After Sakuragi Hanamichi received the ball, facing Mikio Kawada who was shrinking inside, he made a direct mid-range shot, and the ball went into the net hollow!

87-80, the point difference returned to a safe range again.

Masashi Kawada: "Why didn't you save the ball?
Don't players who can shoot three-pointers have mid-range shooting ability? What do you think? "

Kawada Masashi was very dissatisfied with his brother's defense.

Kawada Mikio: "I'm sorry, brother."

Fukatsu Kazunari, who was more devoted to the game, ignored the family ethics drama of the two brothers at all. Fukatsu Kazunari quickly served the bottom line, because Zebei Eiji was already going down!
Sakuragi Hanamichi turned around and began to chase back. The basketball court was 28 meters long. Sakuragi Hanamichi caught up with Zebei Eiji when he was five meters behind!

But the embarrassing thing is that Yingmu Huadao can no longer use his signature chasing cap skills.

Because of the energetic Sakuragi Hanamichi, he overtook Eiji Zebei before layup!
Seeing Eiji Sawakita collecting the ball and preparing for a layup, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who is in the leading position, turned and cut the ball with his right hand, steady and ruthless!
The kicked ball hit Zebei Eiji's leg hard and bounced off the bottom line!
The referees unanimously awarded the penalty, the backcourt ball, no foul!

Zebei Eiji: "It's really hateful! Damn!"

Eiji Zekita, who is well-known throughout the country, has made [-]-for-[-] shots under Sakuragi Hanamichi's defense. He only scored [-] points when facing other defenses.

This is absolutely unacceptable for Zebei Eiji, who usually regards scoring like chopping melons and vegetables.

But the facts cannot be changed. Hanamichi Sakuragi, who is serious about defending, has the strength to zero seal Eiji Zebei.

Xiangbei High School attacked, and Hanamichi Sakuragi copied the successful cooperation just now. Masashi Kawada pushed his younger brother away and met Hanamichi Sakuragi.

The corners of Hanamichi Sakuragi's mouth raised slightly, and he was about to shoot, Masashi Kawada strode forward without hesitation to take off and block the shot!
False action tricked Owada, Sakuragi Hanamichi broke through the bottom line!

Road to Superstar System: Mamba Rage skill triggers!
Kawada Masashi was swayed by Sakuragi Hanamichi, and he turned around quickly after landing, and gave a hard push to Sakuragi Hanamichi who had just jumped.

At this time, Kawada Mikio also made up for it, and being sandwiched by two brothers, it is simply a man plus a man!
Sakuragi Hanamichi took off very well, and Kawada Masashi's deliberate push increased his upward momentum!

Facing the 210 cm behemoth that can touch the backboard by standing on tiptoe, Sakuragi Hanamichi stretched out his abdomen greatly, swung his arms at a high speed, and smashed the ball in his hand to the basket with all his strength!
Although Kawada Mikio had exhausted his last bit of strength in this jump, Sakuragi Hanamichi was still at a higher height and dunked the ball over his head into the basket!
The huge impact of Sakuragi Hanamichi directly knocked Mikio Kawada, who was nearly exhausted, to the ground!
Masashi Kawada pushes people behind his back!Yingmu Huadao dunks angrily and gets two points, and there is another penalty!
Kawata Masashi: "I already fouled him, why can't you defend?????"

Kawada Masashi roared crazily!

Kawada Mikio: "Isn't it..."

The pitiful Mikio Kawada who was sitting on the ground subconsciously wanted to apologize to his brother, but Hanamichi Sakuragi interrupted the words of the two brothers.

Yingmuhua said: "Hey! Bald brother, bald and fat is your own younger brother.

Besides, this ball is your defensive misplacement. In my eyes, your push from behind that may destroy the opponent is really a cowardly performance!

And the blocking of your brother's rushing ball is what a man should do.

Although your elder brother is quite soft, your younger brother is very hard! "

Although Yingmu Huadao's words sound somewhat ambiguous, there is nothing wrong with them.

Masashi Kawada: "Shall I teach my younger brother to use you, an outsider, to point fingers?"
