NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

With 14 minutes and 29 seconds left in the first half and the score difference behind by 14 points, Xiangbei made four substitutions and summoned the man who was destined to win.

The current Xiangbei players on the field are:

4号中锋赤木刚宪（197cm）、10号大前锋樱木花道（191.5cm）、11号小前锋流川枫（187cm）、14号得分后卫三井寿（184cm）、7号控球后卫宫城良田（168cm）

As soon as Miyagi Ryouta came on the court, he was discovered and recognized by the Ryonan basketball team's vice-captain Ikegami Ryoji and point guard Konoha Hiroaki who were watching the game. After all, they were old acquaintances.

Just like that, Shohoku's mysterious man A - ace defender Miyagi Ryouta began to show his skills!

After Miuradai made two free throws, Miyagi was not affected at all and took the lead in launching a fast break.

He first used his speed to break through Miuradai's point guard Kazuo Araki and shooting guard Hiroshi Takatsu.

Then, after attracting the captain Kengo Murasame's backup defense, he made a wonderful ground pass and accurately passed the basketball to the unattended Akagi.

Akagi Takenori was not polite and scored a successful slam dunk after catching the ball.

Next it was Miyagi, who stole the ball from Miuratai point guard Kazuo Araki, and while showing off with Ayako off the court, he also passed the ball behind her without looking, giving the ball to Mitsui Hisashi who had been prepared for a long time outside the three-point line.

Mitsui made a quick move and scored three points!

Since then, the Xiangbei basketball team has launched a climax of counterattack.

Mitsui's shooting posture also awakened the memory of Ryonan basketball team captain Yuzumi.

So far, the mysterious man B of the Xiangbei basketball team is Mitsui Hisashi, the captain of Takeishi Junior High School in Uozumi's class and the most valuable MVP player in Kanagawa Junior High School. He is finally back on the court!

The two attacks by Akagi, Miyagi and Mitsui made the audience realize the new look of the Xiangbei basketball team. They kept discussing the strengths of these three people, and also ignited the enthusiasm of the freshmen Rukawa and Hanamichi who had just joined the team. Then, Miuradai was beaten dizzy.

Hanamichi kept running and jumping on the court, and finally he succeeded in seizing a great opportunity - when Miuratai team's captain Murasame Kengo tried to make a layup under the basket, Hanamichi jumped up like a hungry tiger and delivered a shocking block!

This block at the basket completely prevented Miuradai captain Kengo Murasame's layup at the basket from being successful.

This domineering block not only made Murasame Kengo's layup come to naught, but also instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the audience! However, the wonderful performance of the Xiangbei team did not stop there. Then, Rukawa Kaede showed his amazing athletic talent and keen judgment, and gave the opponent's small forward Miyamoto Kazunari a clean block in a lightning speed, making Miyamoto Kazunari's shot fail.

After receiving the ball, Miyagi quickly perceived Mitsui's position and made a wonderful long pass without hesitation.

After Mitsui caught the basketball steadily, he immediately jumped and shot in one smooth move.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and then fell into the basket accurately!

This accurate and beautiful shot helped the Xiangbei team successfully recover the precious three points!

The entire stadium was shocked by this wonderful scene, and cheers rang out one after another.

At this pace, with 10 minutes and 50 seconds left in the first half, Xiangbei tied the score at 24:24.

In the more than three minutes after Coach Anzai made the substitution, Miuradai did not score a single point, while Shohoku scored more than ten points in a row.

But it was not over yet, with the reinforcement of Hanamichi, the Shohoku team not only made it difficult for Miuradai to be targeted on offense, but also completely froze Miuradai on defense.

When the complete five players of Xiangbei are on the court, the defense of Akagi, Mitsui and Rukawa is above average, and although Miyagi is not good at defense due to his height, he is good at stealing the ball. If Miuradai is not careful, he will have to be prepared to lose the ball.

As for using the height and weight advantage to force a breakthrough and score into the restricted area with a back-up? Miyagi said that he was looking forward to it, as his team's inside line is now "strong and powerful".

During one attack, Miuradai's point guard Kazuo Araki was deliberately allowed into the inside.

Kazuo Araki jumped near the free throw line, and waiting for him was Hanamichi who came to assist in defense. He blocked the basketball and shot it towards Miyagi, who then made a fast break layup and scored.

Afterwards, Miyagi seemed to have tasted the sweetness. I don't know if it was intentional, but when facing a defender, he would defend if he could, and steal the ball if he could.

Once he finds that his opponent is trying to break through the offensive inside line, he will drive him towards Hanamichi's position. In this way, Hanamichi's number of blocks continues to increase.

Until the end of the first half, Shohoku surpassed Miuradai with a big score of 52:24.

During this period, Hanamichi blocked 8 shots! In contrast, Rukawa scored 17 points, mostly by dunking inside, which excited the audience.

I don’t know what the coach of Miuradai was thinking. He endured until the end of the first half, when the team was 28 points behind. Then he sent out No. 9 power forward Tetsuya Naito to replace Miyamoto Kazunari, who had performed well at the beginning.

Naito Tetsuya, second year student at Miuradai High School, height 196cm, weight 155kg

(That’s right, I looked up a lot of information and finally concluded that he weighs 155kg, which is heavier than Yao Ming when he just entered the NBA!), and his speed for running 11 meters is within seconds.

His bone density is amazing, so he can position himself well under the basket.

(Yao Ming’s bone density is amazing, so Howard, who was blocking the defense, couldn’t stand under the basket or hold the ball).

His limbs are well-developed with muscles, which enables him to better exert his strength and explosiveness in power confrontations.

His Achilles tendon is incredibly long, and coupled with his speed and explosive power, his jumping ability is not as amazing as Hanamichi, but it is enough to compete with Akagi.

(Considering Naito's weight of 155kg, this bounce is really not low).

To sum up, Tetsuya Naito is a super talented man who possesses both static and dynamic qualities.

He can be said to be the one with the best physical fitness in Kanagawa Prefecture in the original Slam Dunk. Even looking at the whole country, he is a talented man with top physical fitness, surpassing Hanamichi and Mori Shigehiro!

(If it wasn't for the wrong time to write about Slam Dunk, the author even felt that the prototype of Naito Tetsuya's physical talent was LeBron James, who just so happened to be the first person to successfully bring his high school football talent to basketball)

The effect of Tetsuya Naito's coming on the court was immediate. In the jump ball competition with Akagi, not only was his jumping ability comparable to Akagi's, he even easily defeated Akagi in the contest of strength.

Of course Hanamichi understood what this meant. This at least meant that Naito Tetsuya's strength attribute value was at least over 92 points, surpassing his own!

Caught off guard, Hanamichi was hit by Tetsuya Naito who was holding the ball.

But because he was well prepared and tried his best, Hanamichi was still knocked back a few steps, and only then did he manage to catch his breath, but at the same time he also lost his defense against Naito.

Naito held the ball and made a fast break. He made an accurate long pass to the captain Murasame, who made a one-arm dunk and recovered the score by two points.

Then Murasame started to speak harshly:

"We don't have time to play around, beat Shohoku!"

After that, he gave instructions to the secret weapon Naito who just came on the field:

"I'll leave the inside line to you, crush them!"

Naito twisted his neck confidently and said:

"It doesn't matter if they are No. 4 or No. 10, I will knock them down one by one!"

It seemed that Naito was obviously dissatisfied with not knocking Hanamichi down just now. After all, he had just switched from playing football to playing basketball, and his thinking consciousness had not been converted for a while.

In his impression, only knocked-down enemies would not pose any obstruction or threat to his attack.

So from then on, Tetsuya Naito would basically participate in Miuradai's fast break, and he also continued his rugby playing style very well, taking the lead!

Except – running in a straight line!

After two or three rounds of attack, Naito's opponent Hanamichi had already figured out this guy's strengths and could only express his regret for this man with the best physical fitness. During Naito's next dribbling, he stole the ball from him three times in a row.

Rukawa also began to dribble the ball and avoid Naito's obstruction with ease, as if he was not affected at all.

Next, Mitsui, Miyagi, and Akagi of Xiangbei were inspired by Hanamichi and Rukawa's methods and approaches, and discovered Naito's fatal weakness!

That is his rugby style. He always goes straight forward in dribbling and fast breaks. If you don’t lose the ball, who will?

In response to this, Mitsui’s off-campus buddy Tienan said: All of us with Tienan in Slam Dunk are finished, except you.
