NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

"Beep! The timeout is over, and the game continues."

The referee signaled Sanno to serve from the backcourt baseline.

"Hey! The Sanwang has changed!"

"He's so tall! He must be over 2 meters tall!"

"Who is that? Such a...mountain of...meat! Can you really play basketball?"

……

Listening to the audience's doubts, Goro Domoto was secretly proud.

The tallest player in this national competition ~ 210cm tall, 130kg in weight.

Also a freshman in high school, Kawata Masashi's younger brother ~ Kawata Mikio, is the secret weapon that he just came up with to restrain Hanamichi!

"I originally wanted to slowly build up Kawata Mikio's confidence in this pressure-free game."

"Now it seems... I'm afraid Xiangbei is not as good as it appeared before, and its combat effectiveness remains to be proven!"

"What we need at this time is to win by surprise! Sending Mikio to the field can at least serve as a starting point for further exploration, and truly detect the true core and true strength of Xiangbei!"

Under the "careful arrangement" of Coach Domoto, Mikio Kawata's first national competition debut has begun!

He appeared on the stage with a timid expression and said something that destroyed his prestige:

"I'm sorry, brother!"

"Don't keep saying sorry. Just follow the coach's instructions and keep an eye on No. 10. Got it?"

Masashi Kawata looked at his younger brother and said with a headache as he approached him to apologize.

"I'll do my best, brother."

On the Xiangbei side, Hanamichi felt very calm.

Looking at the [Meatball Man] Mikio Kawata who was substituted in, it was worth his effort. He concentrated his firepower to knock down the [Totem Pole] ~ Masahiro Nobe at the beginning of the game!

Looks like Coach Domoto has taken the bait!

Everything went smoothly inside and according to plan.

Sanwang's starting twin towers were sent off as soon as they committed a foul.

Then, the next step is to hand it over to the outside line...

Hanamichi was not prepared to knock down Mikio Kawata at this time.

With his current strength, he can beat Kawata Mikio so badly that even his own brother won’t recognize him at any time.

But... since my dad coach has a plan, let's follow it.

Besides, compared to that [Totem Pole], isn't this Xiao Hetian, who has obvious weaknesses and a weak personality, easier to control?

Of course, it must be used at the critical moment to give Sanwang a fatal blow!

As the referee blew the whistle, the game resumed.

He is completely different from the Mitsui who used to frequently "disconnect" or "go offline" on the court.

Today, he has been in great form since the beginning of the game - his figure is as nimble as a swallow, his movements are as agile as a monkey;

The body's sense of balance is as stable as a magic needle, and the touch between the fingertips and the basketball is seamless;

And when he shoots, his smooth wrist movements seem to be performing a gorgeous piece of music, which is pleasing to the eye!

At this moment, time seemed to stop for him.

Everyone's attention was attracted to him, and the entire stadium became his stage!

For Mitsui, Coach Anzai arranged him as the core of the offense in the second stage of the first half before the game.

Only Coach Anxi is the white moonlight in his heart that he cannot let down.

At this moment, Mitsui, who had been [banned and disconnected], finally "recharged" back!

“I will definitely score this goal!”

Mitsui shouted with a determined look in his eyes.

He suddenly moved sideways like the wind, trying to get rid of the close defense of Ichinokura Satoshi.

However, although Mitsui tried his best to create distance, Ichinokura Satoshi always stuck close to him, not giving him any chance to breathe.

Seeing this, Mitsui took advantage of the 14cm height difference and jumped directly from outside the three-point line.

The moment of jumping up, it seemed as if time had stopped.

His movements were quick and smooth, and the basketball in his hands seemed to be given life, flying towards the basket in a graceful arc.

Faced with such a difficult shooting move, Ichinokura Satoshi couldn't help but widen his eyes and secretly exclaimed in his heart: What an amazing skill!

However, Mitsui's attack was so fast that he couldn't even get rid of the defense.

It was like a forced shot, so in the eyes of many people, such a "hasty" shot is impossible to score!

Just as everyone was nervously waiting, there was a "swish" sound and the basketball went into the net!

At that moment, the entire stadium was boiling with cheers and exclamations rising one after another.

After Mitsui landed, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile.

He knew that the game had just begun...

In the first half, Mitsui made 7 of 3 three-pointers in 3 minutes.

On the sidelines, thanks to his "good friend" Tokuo Horita who waved the flag hard and cheered for Mitsui.

This made the audience in the stands realize that the other three-point shooter in Kanagawa Prefecture was Kazuo Kamiya from the "Twinkle of Stars" team of the Hainan University Affiliated Middle School, which was one of the top four teams in the previous national competition.

There is also such a [gay] junior high school MVP ~ Mitsui Hisashi, this is really... a double flourish in literature and sports ~ the road is getting wider and wider!

Horita Tokuo said: Good friends, for life! This is just a small thing ~ Mitsui, you don’t need to thank me too much!

"Hmm~ A very beautiful shooting posture! His quality is enough to rank among the best in the country, but unfortunately... Ichinokura, first half, get rid of him!"

Coach Domoto has enough confidence in the defense of his own Ichinokura Satoshi!

He had no sense of urgency about being behind in the score.

After all, under his "wise" arrangement, the "secret weapon" Mikio Kawata suppressed the active Hanamichi at the beginning as soon as he came on the court.

Well, this time, I will let your Xiangbei's outside offensive firepower fall under my command!

After receiving the signal from his coach, Ichinokura Satoshi immediately clung to Mitsui like taffy.

This forced Mitsui to keep moving and restricted his ability to receive the ball.

This was a countermeasure that Coach Domoto came up with based on Mitsui's physical weaknesses after watching a videotape of the Kanagawa Prefecture trials.

And Ichinokura Satoshi is the best person to implement this strategy.

Although he is 14cm shorter, he is good at perimeter defense and has perseverance.

Coach Domoto couldn't help but feel that "You didn't even help the old lady, I admire you, Ichinokura."

Oki at the commentary desk also took a break from his busy schedule to talk about the player Ichinokura Satoshi:

"Ichinokura Satoshi, a third-year player of Sanno Industrial, has established himself in the dominant Sannoh with his extraordinary physical strength and determination to never give up, and his outside defense ability!"

"It is said that this player has never lost to a member of the track and field team in an intramural marathon."

"In addition, during a final exam, he suffered from acute appendicitis and endured the pain until the end of the exam, then he passed out and was taken to the hospital by ambulance!"

Julia put her hands down, twisted her body and said:

"Are there any students in our Big Day High School who have such endurance?"

Seeing Julia showing such interest in the energetic Ichinokura Satoshi, Shimizu Ken also said at the right time:

"Ah! Not only the physical training, but other training programs of Sanwang are not something that ordinary people can endure."

"But then again, you can't play basketball without sufficient physical fitness! When I was playing basketball..."

……

Back on the court, Hanamichi smiled slightly as he watched Mitsui, who kept moving but had a hard time getting rid of Ichinokura Satoshi.

In the original comic, Ichinokura used this trick to continuously consume Mitsui, and Mitsui's physical strength was exhausted in the first half alone.

But this time, everything is different!

According to the arrangement of "Old Six" of his own team, ah~ no! It was his own father, Xiangbei's next goal is to open fire from the outside! Beat down the defensive expert~ Ichinokura Satoshi!
