NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

Just when everyone was amazed at Huadao's iron-clad defense.

Katsume Ichiro suddenly appeared near the bottom corner.

Mike Okita suddenly passed the ball to Katsumi Ichiro and ran in the opposite direction towards the bottom corner.

Seeing this, Hanamichi decisively gave up defending Mike Okita.

Instead, he rushed towards Katsume Ichiro with great momentum.

On the defensive end, is it even a matter of thinking about whether to defend against 2 points or 3 points?

As expected, Katsume Ichiro passed the ball back to Mike Okita.

The latter attacked the basket and made a layup.

"Sure enough, he still managed to score!"

Hanamichi stood with his hands on his hips and looked at Mike Okita who was returning to defense.

From the moment he made the choice to defend Ichiro Katsumi's three-pointer, he was already mentally prepared.

But even after being beaten by him like this, Huadao was still very unconvinced.

"Let's go, Hanamichi!"

Miyagi pushed forward with the ball, shouting as he ran.

Looking at Hanamichi who came running with Miyagi, the Tsurumi brothers looked even more embarrassed.

Miyagi used his lightning-fast breakthrough to completely surpass his brother Tsurumi Seiji;

As for Hanamichi, he held his neck high and ran past his younger brother Keiji Tsurumi.

what?

Defense?

where?

It’s totally invisible!

Hanamichi ran straight to the inside and jumped up to receive the pass from Miyagi.

As soon as he landed, Mike Okita stuck to Hanamichi like taffy, not giving him room to jump.

It is said that this is the "sticky" defense he learned from the United States, which is specifically used to defend against outside players' shooting.

Too bad, Hanamichi is an inside player!

He was seen standing with his back to Mike Okita and the basket, legs crossed and slightly bent over.

Then he shrugged and shook his head, then turned nimbly in the other direction.

While turning around, he used his left hand, which was close to Mike Okita's, to cover it firmly behind his back.

Although there is only half of the space near the baseline, it is enough for the [rocket to take off]!

He leaped up into the air like an agile cheetah.

His left arm cleverly blocked Mike Okita's swing.

The entire body core is not greatly affected by the former violation.

Keep your body firmly in mid-air.

His right hand tightly grasped the basketball, as if all the core strength of his body was gathered at this moment.

Then, Hanamichi used all his strength to slam the basketball into the basket without hesitation.

The orange basketball streaked across the sky like a burning meteor.

With a loud bang, the basketball went through the basket accurately.

At this moment, the flower path falling from the basket seemed to become the focus of the whole audience.

He used his strength and finishing ability after confrontation to demonstrate what a true bully under the basket is!

"Beep! Black No. 13 committed a defensive foul! White No. 10's goal counts, one penalty kick!"

The referee's whistle was late but came true.

"yeah!"

All the players of the Kanagawa team couldn't help but celebrate.

But it was drowned out by the louder cheers and exclamations from the audience!

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

The cheers for MVP were endless...

Before Hua Dao went to shoot free throws, he still added some trash talk:

"Hey, Mike! The defensive method you learned in the United States is awesome, but it's a pity that it's useless!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the free throw line.

"I give myself 13 points for this 82-pack!"

However, before the remaining 18 points could be scored in the form of 666.

Hanamichi's free throw hit the neck of the basket with a little more force and jumped high.

"Oh no! The power of my dunk just now was too great, and it affected my free throw shooting!"

The flower path that just came through, even though he hasn't learned the mid-range shot yet.

There was no Rick Barry-style "urinal" free throw shooting either.

Although Rick Barry in the 60s and 70s was a wolf.

Using the [holding a urinal] posture, he had a season-high free throw percentage of 94.7%, and only missed 170 of 9 free throws.

But as Zhang Dashuai, the "physical master", and the young "Shark" who just entered the NBA this year (1992) said:

"This posture is too girly!"

…………

Hanamichi opened his arms and took the lead in occupying the best area under the basket as soon as the free throw missed.

He relied on his strength to trap Ming Gaoguang and Mike Okita behind him.

"It doesn't matter, I'll grab it myself!"

There is no interference from the meat shield [forward] Yuta Watanabe.

Hanamichi’s rebounding is always the most stable presence in the game.

Seeing the rebound was about to fall, Hanamichi took the lead and jumped forward.

Hanamichi, who successfully grabbed the rebound, did not choose to hold the ball with both hands when landing.

He knew that all the opponents had crowded into the penalty area, so he wanted to avoid any further complications.

After grabbing the rebound, Hanamichi used his right hand, which had grabbed the ball, to smash it hard towards the basket in mid-air.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Hanamichi successfully made a tip-in.

"Since I don't have the feel for it anymore, I'll just smash it as much as I can today!"

Ikebana exudes a representative aggression, just like a cheetah hunting its prey.

At this moment, Mike Okita seemed to understand what he lacked most and what he needed most to gain a foothold in the United States!

"That's right. Without this beast-like desire for aggression, you will be torn to pieces in the United States!"

Bill Walton, a scout and agent, looked at the Fauvist atmosphere of the flower arrangement and was amazed.

According to the information consulted:

(In the 1980s and 1990s, the NBA was dominated by hard-line confrontation, positional warfare, and bullfighting.)

(So ​​the physical confrontation at that time should have been the strongest!)

(In the late 20th century and early 21st century, the intensity of the NBA's inside competition was also very strong)

(Because it is closer to us than in ancient times, modern video information is more complete and the information left is relatively comprehensive)

(So ​​the stories of those [beasts] are well known to everyone)

(The author will arrange for Hanamichi to participate in the talent show and have a good time with these non-humans!)

Back to the game.

Coach Ofuna missed a free throw in Hanamichi, but he made a tip-in and dunked the ball himself.

He applied for a timeout as soon as possible. At this time, what he needed to do most was to stabilize the morale of the team and strengthen the inside defense.

He replaced the Tsurumi brothers, re-activated Ebina, and re-deployed Yuta Watanabe.

By the way, Ichiro Katsumi was replaced with Mikoshiba to strengthen the offensive firepower and defensive capabilities in the interior.

It seems that they are going to focus on the inside.

Coincidentally, it was in the script of Coaches Tanaoka and Takato.

It just happened to predict the prediction of the big ship coach!

With the demise of the Tsurumi brothers, Miyagi Ryouta also completed his mission perfectly.

Next, the Kanagawa Prefecture team prepares to fight a positional battle!

[Genius] Sendoh Akira plays as the point guard.

[Fighting General] Jun Uozumi replaces Hanagata and sits under the basket.

Hanamichi defends Mike Okita.

Uncle Mu plays against Mikoshiba who just came on the field.

Mitsui continued to mark Katsumi Ichiro.

The Kanagawa team sent out highly targeted players in various positions, and it seemed that they were going to give Shizuoka Prefecture the final blow.

After completing the substitutions, Coach Tanaoka was still not satisfied.

I never thought that I [Tian Gang Ali] would have such a [rich battle] to fight one day.

In the last few minutes of the second half, both teams put in their best efforts.

They showed amazing strength on both offense and defense.

Especially Yuzumi who has not yet appeared in this game.

Known as the "Fighting General", he is 2 meters tall when standing under the basket, and has a "mature" face.

He is even more intimidating than the 199cm tall Yuta Watanabe.

Mikoshiba is like a weakened version of Uncle Mu, and this time we meet the real person.

He was also conquered by the latter's "experienced" defensive experience.

Mike Okita, led by Ming Gaoguang's pass, completely unleashed his firepower.

And from time to time, he would cooperate with Ichiro Katsumi to complete the attack.

But the good times didn't last long, Mitsui was also a talented person with high golf IQ.

After several cooperations, he consciously moved towards cutting off the connection between Mike Okita and Katsume Ichiro.

Coupled with the fact that there was an extremely aggressive Hanamichi who was messing around in the middle, Mike Okita's offensive options became even more difficult.

Finally, the Kanagawa team defeated the Shizuoka team with a big score of 112:99 and advanced to the semi-finals.

"Thanks for the advice!"

After the game, players from both teams lined up in two rows and saluted each other.

Mike Okita says:

"Hey, red-haired monk!"

"Now there is a shortcut to the United States."

"After the Autumn National Sports Conference ends, I will go to the United States for further studies!"

"You can come directly to our Green Wind, and after the Autumn National Games are over, go to the United States to play basketball with me!"

"I'm sure Coach Ohana and Miss Eri won't object!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Dao pointed his thumb at Bill Simmons' position in the stands and smiled confidently:

"Thanks, but! I also have my choices!"

"We have many talented basketball players with different characteristics in Kanagawa and even in the whole country."

“Instead of choosing to go to the United States during this period, it is better to strengthen your foundation and hone your body before landing on the other side of the ocean!

After saying that, he looked across the arena, as if he saw the world's top basketball arena!

“There are still two years to go!”

Rukawa Kaede: "2 years...America..."
