[Slam Dunk] Undefended heart

On the fifth day of the county competition, the auditorium was full, because today is the day when the four seeded teams will play.In the four groups A, B, C, and D, only the winning teams in each group can enter the finals. In Kanagawa County, which is a fierce competition area, only the first and No.2 teams in the finals can qualify for the national competition. of the two teams.

Last year, the first-seeded team, Hainan Affiliated High School, and Xiangyang High School, which is about to play, were represented last year.Xiangyang's opponent today is the imposing Xiangbei, and the two teams will fight fiercely for the victory in Group B.

Today, the atmosphere in Xiangbei players' lounge is also different from the past. Everyone's faces are no longer as relaxed as before, and they are silently doing their pre-match preparations.

"Today is the key to victory or defeat. Xiangyang is completely different from the opponents in the past. You have to cheer up... eh?" Akagi was doing the last lecture before the game, but found that Sakuragi was staring at his face Take a hard look.

"You have dark circles! It must be due to nervousness and insomnia!" Sakuragi pointed to the dark circles under Akagi's eyes and said treacherously.

"Don't you?!" Akagi cast a sideways glance at Sakuragi, laughing at fifty steps.

Mu Mu on the side heard the words and said with a smile, "Is even Akagi too nervous to fall asleep? Me too, I woke up before four o'clock this morning."

At this time, Mitsui who was sitting beside him laughed and stood up, "They are all worthless guys! It's just Xiangyang, what a fuss!"

Seeing that Mitsui was about to leave, Mu Mu couldn't help reminding, "Hey, Mitsui, where are you going? It's almost time to make an appearance, and we don't have much time!"

Mitsui paused, and said with some embarrassment, "Go to the toilet..."

After hearing this, Sakuragi immediately teased, "Hahaha~~ In fact, the most nervous one is Xiao San, who has gone to the toilet several times today!"

"It's a very remarkable expression..." Even Akagi couldn't help complaining.

Seeing Rukawa sitting there alone resting with eyes closed, Kaoru took a can of water and sat down beside Rukawa, then handed the water to Rukawa, "Maple, do you want some water?"

"No." Rukawa didn't open his eyes.

"Then I'll help you massage your shoulders and relax!" Kaoru immediately put down the water bottle and ran behind Rukawa.

"I'm going to sleep." Rukawa was a little impatient.

"Eh? Your shoulders are a little stiff. It seems that Feng is also very concerned about today's match with Xiangyang!" Kaoru said while rubbing Rukawa's shoulders.

"..." This guy didn't listen to him at all...

"Feng," Kaoru looked at the back of Rukawa's head, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Come on for the game!" After learning about Xiangyang's strength, Kaoru knew that this game would not be easy, but she believed that no matter what the situation, Feng would Go all out.

This time, Rukawa finally opened his eyes, and then let out a barely audible 'hmm'.

On the way back from the toilet, Mitsui choked back his anger. An unknown guy in junior high school boasted that he wanted to keep his score within five points. Is Xiangyang's No. 6?If you have the ability, just let the horse come here!

Mitsui saw a somewhat familiar figure from a distance before he reached the player's lounge, and after a closer look, he found that the person was Qianyin Shimizu.

"Three...Mitsui!" Shimizu was hesitating whether to knock on the door, but he didn't expect Mitsui to walk over from the side, so he couldn't help being a little surprised.

Mitsui put his hands in his trouser pockets and didn't speak. In fact, he didn't know what to say. He had never said hello before, and it seemed too abrupt to say hello now.

As if he was used to Mitsui's indifference, Shimizu continued without paying any attention, "Because today's school is on holiday, I came to watch the game. Please do your best for today's game." Originally, the last thing Shimizu wanted to say was 'I will cheer for you' , but he changed his words immediately.

"I will." I didn't want to answer, but seeing Shimizu looking at him nervously, Mitsui finally spoke.

Shimizu originally thought that Mitsui would not talk to him this time, but unexpectedly, he heard his answer unexpectedly, and couldn't help but burst into joy, "That...that's good! You go in quickly, I won't bother you!"

As Shimizu left, he couldn't help but look back at Mitsui who was still standing there, unexpectedly bumped into the opposite glass by accident, and couldn't help but covered his blushing forehead in pain.

"Uh, are you okay?"

Seeing Mitsui looking at him in surprise, Shimizu's face turned red, but it wasn't shyness, but embarrassment beyond shame!Which girl would want to make a fool of herself in front of the person she likes? !

"I'm fine!" Qing Shui ran away quickly after saying that, what a pity!It's a shame...

Seeing the back of Shimizu leaving, Mitsui frowned suspiciously, why did she run so fast?

At this time, three heads popped out from the door of the lounge...

"Oh oh oh~~ Mitsui-senpai's spring seems to be coming soon!" Kaoru snickered.

"Little San is too dull, he doesn't understand girls' minds at all!" Sakuragi couldn't help covering her mouth and giggling.

"Is there anyone more dull than you?" Rukawa couldn't help but cast a glance at Sakuragi above, and said, why would he hide here and eavesdrop? !

Hearing this, Sakuragi looked down at Rukawa with disdain, "These words are not convincing at all when you say them, you are the world's most dull stinky fox!"

"..." Rukawa blinked in confusion, where was he slow?

Kaoru, who was hiding at the bottom, smiled and said nothing.

"I heard everything!" Mitsui glanced at the three of them with black lines all over his head. These three guys are actually eavesdropping here so blatantly!

Kaoru and Sakuragi laughed dryly, while Rukawa still had a dead face.

At this time, the door of the lounge was pushed open, and Akagi walked out first, "Okay, let's go out!"

"Yes!"

"Come out! It's Xiangbei!"

"Are there only so few members in Xiangbei? It's really hard to compete with Xiangyang!"

"No, that's not necessarily the case, the outcome is unpredictable!"

……

As soon as Xiangbei came on the field, the stadium immediately became lively, but these cheers were immediately overshadowed when Xiangyang came on the field.

In terms of support, Xiangyang, which has a large number of members, has an absolute advantage. Facing the huge Xiangyang cheerleading team, Xiangbei is almost like playing an away game.

"Everyone, today's opponent is very strong."

"Yes!"

"Akagi, Mitsui, Miyagi, Rukawa and...Sakuragi will play first." Three minutes before the start of the game, coach Anzai announced the list of starting players, and Sakuragi appeared in the starting lineup for the first time.

"Everyone should remember that you are also a very strong team." After deciding the starting players, Coach Anzai began to give the final instructions, "Sakuragi, your task is to strengthen the internal defense, and the responsibility of grabbing rebounds depends on is you."

"Of course! I will control the rebounds!" Sakuragi is very motivated at the moment. He will never be kicked out today, and he will score more points than Rukawa, and then control the rebounds. Today he is really extraordinary !

"Akagi, Rukawa, Sakuragi, the height of the three of you can compete with Xiangyang, you have to do a good job in this area. Alright, let's play!"

"Yes!"

The competition is finally about to start, and even Kaoru couldn't help but get a little excited, cheers everyone!

"Xiangyang High School vs. Xiangbei High School, the match has officially begun!"

At the whistle of the referee, the final of Group B finally kicked off.

At the beginning of this high-profile game, it was beyond the expectations of many people. The game situation was overwhelmingly biased towards Xiangyang. Xiangbei made mistakes one after another from Akagi's jump ball violation, and Xiangyang won consecutively. 16 points!

This time the ball was passed to Hanakata again, but Akagi was deceived by Hanakata with a simple fake move. Hanakata flashed past Akagi's defense, and when he was about to shoot, Rukawa suddenly appeared, and then skillfully passed the ball Pushed into the air, then snatched the ball before the flower.

The moment Rukawa got the ball, Kaoru excitedly stood up from his seat, his eyes followed Rukawa's figure closely, and his hands were clenched unconsciously.

"Well done! Come on, Rukawa!" Ayako on the side couldn't help but applaud Rukawa.

Ignoring the calls of Miyagi and Sakuragi behind him, Rukawa threw off Xiangyang's three-person defense and went straight to the basket.

Seeing Rukawa leaning forward to shoot the basket, the two players under Xiangyang's basket immediately jumped up, raising their arms high and preparing to block Rukawa with their bodies.Just when everyone thought Rukawa was being too reckless, Rukawa suddenly lowered his center of gravity in mid-air, changed his throwing posture, and threw the ball into the basket between the two defenders of Xiangyang!

"2-16", Xiangbei scored for the first time!

Along with Rukawa's goal, warm cheers erupted on the field.

"What happened just now?! That guy seems to have changed his movements in the air!"

"I didn't expect there to be such a powerful guy in Xiangbei, that number 11..."

Of course, among all the exclamations on the field, there was a voice that was particularly obvious...

"Rukawa Kaede! Rukawa Kaede! LOVE! Rukawa Kaede!" The captain of Rukawa's personal guard, Hanako's trio also came of course...

Ayako glanced at the three girls who were cheering for Rukawa on the stage with some amusement. Rukawa is still as popular as junior high school!At this time, Caizi ignored that there was Rukawa Ming beside her...

"Maple! You were so handsome just now! Come on~~~"

Ayako glanced at Kaoru next to her with black lines all over her head, and then looked at Rukawa, who was calmly looking towards this side, with black lines all over her head. Habits are really terrible things. Rukawa has gotten used to Kaoru being so helpless. The existence of ignorance, and it still looks like a matter of course...

As soon as Rukawa looked back, he found Akagi, Mitsui, Miyagi and Sakuragi standing in front of him.

"You...you...you...you bastard Rukawa is doing a solo performance again!" His genius Sakuragi's solo performance is another matter, Rukawa's solo performance is absolutely unforgivable!

Miyagi couldn't help but said, "Although this goal was scored, you should wait for us. It was a three-on-one situation just now." This Rukawa was really messed up.

Rukawa glanced at the four of them, and then said in a nonchalant manner, "You guys' actions are as hard as a rock, and it's useless to wait for you."

After finishing speaking, Rukawa turned around and walked away regardless of the feelings of the four of them.

"This... this kid is so arrogant!" The four of them were completely enraged by Rukawa.

"Bastard! You first grade brat!"

"How dare you preach to me? Who do you think you are!"

"This year's first grade is so uncute!"

"Who moves like a rock? It's so funny, my movements are so soft! Look, I can do calisthenics!" Saying that, Sakuragi began to do calisthenics. As for the effect...you can refer to the robot dancing , "Look at my brisk pace, I can block whoever comes!"

"Don't confuse us with you, idiot." The other three immediately drew a line with Sakuragi.

"Come on! Xiangyang!"

Because of Rukawa's stimulation, the four of them completely burned up, and finally returned to their usual level after the tension was relieved.

With successive blocks from Akagi and Sakuragi, as well as quick breaks and assists from Miyagi, Shohoku gradually recovered from the lagging score.

Looking at Rukawa who was active on the court, Kaoru suddenly had a strong premonition that this person in front of him would definitely become an extraordinary basketball superstar in the future, and by then, she hoped that she could still be by his side...

After scoring another brilliant pass, Miyagi cast his eyes on Fujima who was sitting in Xiangyang's player area, and pointed at him provocatively, gesturing him to play.

This time, Xiangyang called a timeout first.

After adjustments, Xiangyang regained his composure, and changed his strategy, adopting a zone defense to maximize his height advantage, but they ignored one person, that is the MVP shooter-Shou Mitsui!

Relying on a beautiful three-pointer, Mitsui not only broke Xiangyang's zone defense, but also tied the score.

At this time, Fujima finally stood up from his seat, but was stopped by Hanakata.

"Bring up your spirits, everyone! Let them see Xiangyang's strength!" Because of Fuji's stimulation, Huagata finally began to show his strength, and brought out the morale of the whole team with his own actions.

In the next game, Xiangyang used his height advantage to frequently succeed in rebounding. In the last 30 seconds of the first half, Xiangyang led Xiangbei by 22 points "31-9".

In the last five seconds, Hanakata made a jump shot backwards, and Akagi touched the ball at the last moment with his perseverance, changing the trajectory of the ball and turning the goal that would have been scored into a rebound.

When five people competed for the rebound, Sakuragi snatched the ball with an absolute advantage, "I am the rebounding king, Sakura Hanadao!"

With the whistle at the end of the first half, the gap between Xiangbei and Xiangyang stopped at 9 points.

During the intermission, Sakuragi naturally became proud, especially after hearing Haruko's compliment.

"Sakuragi, you are amazing! The value of that rebound just now is ten times that of a normal one!"

"Yes... is it?"

"Yeah! That one rebound saved the entire team! If we can't get that ball, maybe we're done!"

"Haha... Am I really the rebounding king?"

"Yes! Rebounding king Sakuragi!"

……

Looking at Sakuragi who was immersed in happiness because of Haruko's words, Yamazaki opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't interject, just said cheers to Sakuragi before leaving.

The high-spirited Sakuragi actively grabbed rebounds at the beginning of the second half, and gradually showed his talent for rebounding. His unpredictable actions also disrupted Xiangyang's pace, and the game began to fall to Xiangbei here.

"36-35", under Rukawa's beautiful one-handed slam dunk, Xiangbei finally overtook the score!This time, Fujima couldn't sit still anymore.

As soon as Fujishin appeared on the stage, the Xiangyang cheerleaders immediately boiled up, shouting Fujima's name loudly, and the morale of the Xiangyang players on the field also suddenly rose.

Fujima scored a goal as soon as he came on the court, chasing back the one point that Shohoku led, "Shohoku is not qualified to enter the top four, let's go!" Fujima and the presence on the field It's like two different people in the next moment.

Fujima disintegrated Xiangbei's defense with a quick cut, and then found the right time to pass the ball to the other four tall players for them to score. If those four were targeted by the opponent, Fujima would shoot the ball himself.Under the deployment of Fujima, the other players of Xiangyang really showed their strength.It can be said that Xiangyang, which Arito joined, has completely become another team, and this is the real strength of the second-seeded team and a frequent visitor to the national competition.

"40-46", coach Anxi finally called a timeout, but he didn't give any instructions, just asked a question.

"Do you remember what I told you before the game?"

"Of course I remember!" Unexpectedly, the five said in unison, "We are very strong!"

"Very good." Coach Anxi pushed his glasses and said no more.

Caizi and Kaoru looked at each other and smiled, everything was kept silent.

"Rukawa! Sakuragi!" Akagi told the two of them during the break, "You are determined not to lose to Xiangyang's No. 7 and No. 8!"

Hearing this, the two immediately looked at Xiangyang's contestant area, only to find that those two were also looking at them provocatively. Seeing this, Sakuragi and Rukawa suddenly became angry, that bastard...

"Although they are taller than you, your jumping ability is better than them, and you can win the air supremacy! Let me deal with Hanagi!" Akagi continued.

"Gorilla!"

"Big...captain." He almost followed Sakuragi and called out the name gorilla...Rukawa only now knows that idiots are really contagious.

Of course, Kaoru on the side didn't miss Rukawa's slip of the tongue, and couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering. Seeing this, Rukawa couldn't help but give her a blank look, a gloating guy...

"The game continues!"

The referee ordered the game to resume.

Rukawa was about to go on stage, Kaoru suddenly smiled and stretched out his hand to him, "Feng, we must win!"

Rukawa glanced at her, and the moment he turned to go on stage, he patted her palm, "Of course."

Kaoru slightly tightened the hand they were clapping with, smiling like a flower.

Because of Sakuragi's four fouls, the advantage returned to Xiangyang again.Under the rebound, Sakuragi became shrunken for fear of fouling again, unable to actively defend and grab any rebounds.Xiangyang, who won with high altitude, took the opportunity to attack and scored continuously. Although Rukawa recovered a lot of points with his personal skills, he was still unable to close the score.

In the last 5 minutes of time, the score difference was 12 points. The situation on the court was very unfavorable for Xiangbei.

At this moment, Mitsui's physical strength was almost reaching its limit.During a shot, Mitsui fell to the ground due to a foul by a defender...

Seeing this, Shimizu, who was sitting on the stand, couldn't help but clenched his fists worriedly, but then let go, no, the Mitsui Shou she knew was definitely not a person who gave up lightly!

Sakuragi reached out to help Mitsui, but Mitsui waved him away, "Don't touch me!"

The same thing happened to him the year he was voted MVP, or worse...never give up until the last minute!That's right!He is a person who will cheer up the more he is in adversity!

Thinking of this, Mitsui finally showed a confident smile, and stood up from the ground.

In the following free throws, Mitsui quickly made three shots without taking a break, and all three shots were scored, "I want to continue the game before my fighting spirit disappears!"

In the next game, Mitsui took four consecutive shots and scored a total of four three-pointers in an exhausted situation. In the final pursuit of the ball, he successfully grabbed the ball and passed it to Rukawa. to the jury.

Two minutes and 30 seconds before the end of the game, the score was "60-60". Among them, Mitsui scored 20 points, 15 of which were three-pointers. With such brilliant results, Mitsui finally walked off the court.

"Coach, I'm sorry."

"Mitsui, it's lucky to have you on the team."

Mitsui's heart was greatly moved by what Coach Anxi said. This was his original intention to enter Xiangbei...

On the field, Rukawa rarely took the initiative to talk to Sakuragi, "Hey, what are you afraid of?" For Sakuragi's timid behavior, Rukawa finally couldn't stand it anymore, "It doesn't look like you at all!"

What was he afraid of... Facing Rukawa's question, Sakuragi was speechless for a moment. Under the astonished eyes of everyone, Sakuragi suddenly hit his head on the floor, and the loud noise made the whole stadium quiet down.

"Who do you think is afraid?" Sakuragi had a stiff smile on his face, and smoke was still rising from his forehead.

"It's you." This guy is really an idiot...

"Hmph! I won't lose to you!"

"Just talk and don't do it."

……

Because of Rukawa, Sakuragi finally got out of the shadow of the foul, no longer worried about defense or rebounding, and the game turned to Xiangbei again.

However, at one minute and 50 seconds before the end of the game, Sakuragi finally left the field due to five fouls, but his last super-powerful dunk that knocked two Xiangyang defenders away shocked the audience, and at the same time Won the biggest cheers of the whole game.

"Hey," just as Sakuragi was about to leave, Rukawa suddenly walked over and said to him, "Given your strength, this goal is really a pity."

After speaking, Rukawa turned around and left, leaving behind Sakuragi who didn't know why, sometimes he really couldn't figure out what Rukawa was thinking in his mind...

In the last 2 minutes, facing Xiangyang's fierce attack like a storm, Xiangbei tried his best to make a tenacious resistance, and finally defeated the second seed with a score of "62-60". The team - Xiangyang High School, successfully entered the finals!

"Great! We won!" Everyone in the Xiangbei contestant area cheered excitedly.

"Maple! That's great!" Seeing Rukawa walking off the court, Kaoru excitedly jumped over and hugged him, making Rukawa at a loss.

Just when Rukawa was hanging his arms and didn't know what to do, Kaoru, who took advantage of the opportunity, secretly showed a sly smile, the timing was just right, hehe!

There was a successful example on the side, and Miyagi wanted to follow suit, but just as soon as she pounced on Caizi, she walked away, and Miyagi ran away, leaving her in a mess.

Different from the happy atmosphere in Xiangbei, on Xiangyang's side, Fujima shed unwilling tears for the first time, and the other team members did the same...

After the game, Kaoru originally wanted to go home with Rukawa, but unexpectedly opened the door of the lounge and found that the five main candidates, including Rukawa, were all asleep.

It seems that she is exhausted... Xun smiled and gently closed the door, and she waited by the side for a while, but when Xun turned around, he met someone from the Hainan team.

Seeing Xun, Qing Tian suddenly stopped in his tracks, then looked her up and down with scrutiny, "You..."

Xun smiled slightly, it seemed that this matter could not be concealed any longer, but she had already thought about her words.

"Do you have a twin sister in Hainan?" Qingtian was very proud of his extraordinary insight.

"..." She underestimated how stupid this guy was, what a genius miscalculation...
