NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

The Xiangbei team was not affected much by Sendoh, after all, there was still a difference of 10 points between the two sides.

Apart from temporarily changing Rukawa to Hanamichi in the team's offensive selection, no other unnecessary adjustments were made.

Unlike when Rukawa was attacking with the ball, Hanamichi's efforts made it more difficult for Sendoh to catch up.

Halfway through the second half, Hanamichi's ball-holding attack near the penalty area formed a relatively stable situation with Sendoh's pursuit of points.

Even if Sendoh chooses to defend Hanamichi during the process, it is the same.

In every round, Hanamichi can score goals with layups, dunks, hook shots, spot jump shots, etc.

Either passing the ball to assist teammates, or Akagi scoring, or Rukawa Kaede!

Similarly, Hanamichi also tried to defend Sendoh alone, but failed.

What can I say about Sendoh! Unlike Zebei Rongzhi in the original work, his offense is first-rate, but it is still slightly inferior to Zebei's top offensive firepower, especially in personal defense.

The most obvious example is that Zebei can completely block Rukawa Kaede [before awakening] in a one-on-one match, but Sendoh cannot!

Sendoh, on the other hand, is top-notch in terms of assists, overall view, and vision, as can be seen from the fact that Hanamichi is wary of his passing and cutting in.

And Sendoh also believes that Hanamichi has top-notch inside offensive skills and a good sense of assists and passes.

The best defense is to keep him away from the basket.

Unfortunately, after experiencing Hanamichi's strange power personally, Sendoh could only sigh that there was no suitable person in Ryonan who could do it at the moment.

Both of them recognized each other's strength and status, but Rukawa Kaede, who was "abandoned" by the two of them and the audience, felt mixed emotions at this time.

As the direct beneficiary of Hanamichi's assist, Rukawa Kaede felt the most touched at this moment.

"So this is the real triple threat!"

After realizing this, Rukawa Kaede's aura changed, becoming slightly softer.

At this moment, he smiled happily from the bottom of his heart!

The sharp-eyed Hanamichi let out a sigh of relief:

"I finally got it! It's worth my personal demonstration!"

Kazuo Tangze smiled and said:

"It seems that in addition to Xiandao and Hanamichi, there is one more person who has been promoted to the top level in the country!"

"That kid number 11 isn't bad either! This way, Sanno's Sawakita Eiji will have an opponent in this year's national competition!"

At this time, there were 8 minutes left in the game. Xiangbei was temporarily leading by 9 points and had possession of the ball.

At this time, Hanamichi passed the ball to Rukawa Kaede himself and said:

"You finally caught up. Let Brother Xiandao take a good look at your strength!"

After saying that, Hanamichi took the initiative to open the penalty area and defended with his hands on his hips with confidence!

Sendoh looked at Rukawa Kaede, who assisted Oda in this attack, and showed an expression of delight.

Compared to the (Sakuragi) Hanamichi who is full of strength and invincible in the interior, the technical Rukawa Kaede is the type he likes to play against.

This would remind him of the good (painful) times he had when he competed with Zebei Rongzhi on the baseball field.

It’s just that the previous pain was Rukawa’s, and the beauty is his own, but I don’t know what will happen next.

Sendoh, who actively switched defense with Oda, once again felt the changes in the "Offensive Ghost".

Rukawa took the lead in launching the attack and jumped high one step before the free throw line.

Seeing this, Xiandao jumped up as well.

This time he clearly saw Rukawa's right arm and the basketball in his palm. He stretched out his right hand and tried to block the ball from the side.

Unfortunately, just when the shot was about to be blocked.

Rukawa passed the ball from his right hand to his left hand in a strange passing posture.

He changed the slam dunk into a layup and scored with a light flick.

This was the posture that Sendo used when he fought against him before.

"Tsk, what a vindictive brat!"

Xiandao pondered secretly.

Rukawa's goal this time only shows that he is more confident.

After all, he broke through while Sendoh and Oda were switching defenses. It is still hard to say whether he has broken through that layer of paper and reached the top level in the country.

So Sendoh didn't make a fuss about this goal.

But next, Sendoh personally defended Rukawa's breakthrough.

Rukawa passed the ball cleverly to Akagi, using the huge bodies of Akagi and Uozumi to block Sendoh.

When you use your small strength to defeat a bigger opponent, score the ball, and cause Yuzumi to commit a foul.

Xiandao finally understood that this "attack ghost" had finally gotten the point.

And Ryonan also lost the last chance to equalize the score.

As for defeating the Xiangbei team, Hanamichi said that they are both top-level in the country, and if I can lose with a 10-point advantage, I will just stand on my head and do something...

Kazuo Karasawa patiently explained the final match:

"Although they were both pursuing the ultimate one-on-one, Rukawa clearly utilized his teammates to turn it into his own positional advantage."

"At this point, there is no doubt that he has embarked on the right path to becoming a top player in the country with his own style and stamp!"

"Just like the way of the immortals and the way of flowers! The young are really to be feared."

"Akagi, Uozumi, Sendoh, (Sakuragi) Hanamichi, Rukawa Kaede, it's the first time in my coaching career that I can see five national-level basketball players competing on the same stage in a high school game at the same time!"

The following game was extremely exciting, with both sides engaging in positional warfare.

In the last two minutes, Rukawa held the ball and played against Sendoh. He kept changing the rhythm of his dribbling and suddenly accelerated to break through to the right. Sendoh pressed him tightly on defense.

Rukawa Kaede stopped and jumped suddenly, making a shooting motion, and Sendoh made a great effort to block the shot.

However, this was just a fake move. Rukawa passed the ball to Mitsui Shou at the baseline. After receiving the ball, Mitsui Shou shot decisively and hit a three-pointer!

At this time, there was little time left in the game, and the Ryonan team adopted a foul tactic, but the Xiangbei players made the free throws steadily.

With 2 minutes left in the game, Xiangbei team led by 13 points.

It can be said that this game is basically a sure win!

The performances of both teams were wonderful. Every player was fully focused on the game until the last moment, fully displaying their skills and talents.

The audience was infected by the tense and exciting atmosphere, and their mood fluctuated with the rhythm of the game. The stadium was silent for fear of disturbing the game between the two teams.

But it is a competitive sport after all, there will always be winners and losers!

"Beep! The game is over, 98:88, Xiangbei team wins!"

The referee's final whistle brought the Kanagawa Prefecture High School Basketball Selection Tournament, which lasted for a month, to a successful conclusion.

After the game, Sendoh and Rukawa smiled at each other. They both learned a lot from each other.

This game is not only a competition between teams, but also a testimony to their growth.

Yes, both Shohoku and Ryonan feel it is very satisfactory.

First of all, Ryonan's coach Takeo discovered that Sendoh, who had always been lazy in the team, actually took the initiative to take responsibility and truly realized himself as an ace.

Uozumi also proved that he has the top level in the country and tied with Akagi.

Ryonan realized its dream of entering the national competition.

On the Xiangbei side, I’m sure Coach Anzai will be so excited that he won’t be able to sleep after watching the video of this game!

After all, the team has three top national level players!

If he works harder, maybe... the scene will be so beautiful! I dare not think about it~ I dare not think about it...

(Mi-chan and Yoshichika said it’s not the right time yet!)

On the court, both Shohoku and Ryonan were surrounded by their own players, enjoying the celebration of everyone present!

A new king of Kanagawa Prefecture has appeared. Although it is not quite appropriate to say this, this time there are still two heroes standing side by side!

At least judging from the strength shown by Xiangbei and Ryonan, other teams in the county are no match for them, especially after the graduation of senior high school students this year.

The players from Xiangbei and Ryonan saluted at the referee's signal, and Akagi and Uozumi simply hugged their heads and cried!

Because they lacked the help of reliable teammates, they fought and failed again and again.

We finally made it to the national competition this year and are on the road to dominating the country!

The other one also carried the heavy burden of the coach, the team, and himself, and finally made it to the national competition.

And with today's match, I have personally proved that I am qualified to stand on the same stage with my opponent and friend who once shut me out. That is enough for me!

The two people who were crying and hugging each other had no idea that there was an even bigger surprise waiting for them!

As for Rukawa Kaede, he took the initiative to extend his right hand, shook hands with Sendoh, and said:

"Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

Xiandao knew what he was talking about, then smiled and said in an insincere way:

"You look so ugly when you smile!"

Hua Dao also made a face when he heard this, and joked happily from the bottom of his heart:

"Yes~Yes! The stinky fox's smile is so ugly!"

Then, the three of them and the rest of the crowd joined in the laughter and playfulness...

After all, it’s time to reap the rewards after all the sweat!
