Man Is in Slam Dunk: Opening Template Atsushi Murasakibara!

Chapter 17: Shohoku’S Iron Barrel Formation!

Just when everyone in Shohoku was on guard, Sendoh suddenly accelerated and rushed forward directly from Kaede Rukawa's right hand side!

Kaede Rukawa stepped back to defend and spread his arms vigorously.

Unexpectedly, Sendoh suddenly braked hard, dribbled the ball once, and immediately put the ball together and shot the basket!

Sendoh, who was jumping in the air, did not look at the basket. Instead, he glanced at Kitagawa with his eyebrows slightly raised, as if to say, guard me!

Kitagawa grinned, and his heart became unusually hot when faced with Sendoh's provocation.

"interesting!"

Then he immediately increased his strength and rushed directly in front of Sendoh in two fierce steps!

"So fast!"

"What kind of monster is this guy! He's faster than before!"

A hurricane blew up, and Kitagawa took off like a rocket, surpassing the height of Sendoh in an instant!

Looking at the giant in front of him, Sendoh's eyes flashed.

"You are great! But..."

Having said that, Sendoh grabbed the ball hard with his right fingers!

With a 'swish' sound, the basketball flew past Kitagawa's eyes, and it was another blind pass!

Although Kitagawa doesn't know who Sendoh is going to pass to, even if Sendoh passes the ball to Kaede Rukawa, he has to stop it!

At this time, Kitagawa's excellent body control and reflexes came into full play, and his raised right hand swung instantly!

With a 'pop' sound, the second pass was directly intercepted. Not only that, Kitagawa used the fingers of his right hand to grab the ball directly in the air!

"I'll go! What kind of grip is this!"

Sendoh exclaimed, although catching the ball with one hand is not common in basketball teams, it is not rare, but it is very difficult for someone like Kitagawa to intercept his pass in the air and catch the ball at the same time. Rare!

At least, I’ve never seen it in Sendoh’s knowledge!

After Kitagawa landed, he yelled.

"start running!"

Kaede Rukawa Kazuma took the lead and started running towards the Rionan basket. Kitagawa made a powerful long pass. Kaede Rukawa received the pass in the air and jumped up!

‘Bang’!

A powerful chop resounded throughout the audience, and Shohoku scored!

"Huh~~~"

Sendoh took a deep breath and looked directly at Kitagawa.

Kitagawa raised his eyebrows.

"What couldn't you say just now?"

Sendoh was speechless, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He didn't expect that Kitagawa would hold a grudge so much and take revenge on the spot!

The game had only started for two or three minutes, but both sides were already getting angry. At this moment, both teams no longer treated it as an ordinary practice match!

When Ryonan tees off again.

Kogure, as the team's vice-captain, clapped his hands and shouted directly.

"Everyone plays steadily and is guarding against a goal!"

"oh!"

Shohoku adopts a zone defense, with Kitagawa sitting at the basket, Akagi assisting from the side, and the remaining three-pointers focus on the outside.

Looking at Shohoku who was on guard, Sendoh frowned slightly.

The current situation of the Neon team is that whoever has the center wins the world. As long as the team has a good center and as long as the others are not too stretched, the results of this team will not be too bad!

Of course, it is easy to break this kind of iron barrel formation. As long as you launch an effective attack from the outside and pull the opponent's defensive formation, Tietong will naturally break through it without attacking!

But it is a pity that although everyone in Ryonan has the ability to shoot from long range, the goal rate is hard to say. To put it simply, it is just a blind shot.

As for the fish pillar on the inside, it's okay to contend with an Akagi alone. The two of them are evenly matched, and with the addition of Kitagawa, whose physique far exceeds that of Akagi, there is no chance of attack at all!

Sendoh has a headache. Shohoku, who was an offensive team last year, has changed their style so much this year. They have become a defensive and counterattack team that focuses on positional warfare!

This kind of team is the most difficult to deal with, because if you want to attack, you must defend first. Only by preventing the opponent's attack can you have a chance to increase the score and win the game. This is the iron law of basketball!

"Should I also practice three-pointers?"

Sendoh muttered to himself, then suddenly started.

"Am I crazy? I want to practice more!"

Looking at the nervous Sendoh, Kaede Rukawa's eyes showed a trace of confusion.

It’s a competition, what are you thinking about?

The scene became anxious for a moment. Sakuragi, who was sitting on the sidelines watching the game, shook his thighs uneasily, folded his hands on his chest, and stared at Kitagawa with very fierce eyes, thinking constantly in his mind.

Damn lazy king, what are you doing! And what the hell is Rionan, the top four in the prefecture! He can't even get past the lazy king's defense! Damn it, if this continues, there will be no chance for my genius to show off!

Thinking of this, Sakuragi's restless heart could no longer be suppressed, and he immediately stood up and shouted.

"Bastard Ryonan! What are you doing! You actually let Kitagawa defend you, you can be called a strong team, you haven't eaten or something! You are so stupid! Attack, attack! What are you looking at me for? These idiots!"

"..."

As soon as this statement came out, it caused public outrage!

"You bastard red-haired boy, what are you talking about! Who are you calling an idiot!"

"You brat, you're just a substitute, why are you pretending!"

"That's right! If you don't agree, go on the field and make gestures, otherwise the substitute will sit on the bench for me!"

"Hmph! How could there be such a rude guy in Shohoku!"

Even the referee couldn't listen anymore and immediately blew the whistle!

"Red Team No. 10, sit down and shut up. If you are affecting the game on the court, I will give you a technical foul!"

A vein burst out in Sakuragi's forehead.

"What a bullshit technical foul, this genius didn't play in the game, you have nothing to do with me!"

Seeing Sakuragi arguing with the referee, Ayako suddenly became furious.

There was a ‘pop’ sound!

The paper fan hit Sakuragi hard on the head, grabbed his ears and pushed him down on the bench.

"Sakuragi Hanamichi! Just sit down and watch the game!"

For some reason, Sakuragi, who has always been rebellious, could not refute Ayako's scolding, and could only sit on the chair with his arms folded in a muffled voice.

"Sakuragi, don't worry. After all, you are our Shohoku's secret weapon and cannot be exposed too early, so just watch with peace of mind. Sooner or later you will come on stage!"

Coach Anzai's gentle voice is like coaxing a baby to sleep, always so peaceful.

Sakuragi's eyes suddenly lit up.

"real?"

After receiving a positive reply from Coach Anzai, his long face turned from gloomy to sunny in an instant.

Ayako smiled slightly.

Sakuragi Hanamichi is like a child who hasn't grown up, yet he's so easy to deceive!
