[Slam Dunk] Undefended heart

On June 6th, at 20:9 am, 50 minutes before the start of the match between Xiangbei and Hainan, the gymnasium was already crowded with people.One is Hainan Affiliated High School, the king who has participated in the national competition for 10 consecutive years, and the other is Xiangbei High School, which beat Xiangyang, the second-seeded team that is close to Hainan every year. This battle is destined to attract much attention.

At the safe entrance, a long-haired girl wearing a mask walked in. She stood on the top of the stands and glanced at the auditorium below, but there were no good seats because she came so late.Not knowing if she saw an acquaintance, her eyes lit up all of a sudden.

As soon as she sat down in the middle of the three vacant seats with the best view in the first row, the trio of Hanako standing in front of her in cheerleading uniforms surrounded her dissatisfiedly, "Hey! These three seats are ours, You sit aside!"

"Huh?" The girl slowly raised her head with sharp eyes.

The three of Hanako took a step back at the same time, their faces were full of horror, and the three of them changed their fierce look just now, and said like a little daughter-in-law, "Master Nanase, we are joking, sit down, we Just stand there!"

That's right, this girl wearing a mask is Nanase Kaoru who secretly came to watch the game. Because of a cold and fever, she was ordered to rest at home by the seniors of the basketball club, but how could she miss such an important game!

Accompanied by the warm cheers of the audience, the players on both sides finally entered the field.

"This year's Hainan is the strongest ever! Do you know the reason? Because I, the chief rookie Kiyota Nobunaga joined! Ahahaha~~" Kiyota walked to the center of the court as soon as he entered the field, very stinking declared.

"Hmph! You self-righteous guy!" Kiyota's words naturally aroused Sakuragi's dissatisfaction.

Kiyota suddenly snatched the ball from Sakuragi's hand, and then skillfully started to shoot the ball at high speed, "Sakuragi, let me show you my hands first!"

Qingtian's performance immediately attracted the attention of the audience. At this moment, a ball suddenly rolled over from behind him and interrupted his performance.

Kiyota looked back and saw Rukawa walking towards him with a blank face.

"Rukawa!" Kiyota became angry when he saw Rukawa. He didn't say that he was more popular than him before. Last time he broke the glass in the store, but in the end he somehow took the blame for Rukawa, that bastard. He must settle this account with him today!

"Sakuragi, there is one thing I want to make clear first, Rukawa is not the chief rookie!" Kiyota pointed to Rukawa and said to Sakuragi.

"Of course!" Sakuragi came over suddenly and snatched the basketball from Kiyota's hand, and then made his best high-speed spin in front of the audience.

"Of course the chief rookie is not Rukawa!" Sakuragi stopped short of breath.

"Hey~~ That's right!" Qing Tian also echoed.

"I will not lose to you!" The two pointed at Rukawa in unison.

As soon as the two made their victory declarations, they each received an iron fist, and the momentum lost in an instant.

"Sorry, I offended a lot."

"No, it's just each other."

In the end, the two were carried back by their captain, and the little farce before the game ended so simply.

Xun in the stands raised the corners of her mouth slightly, she didn't expect the game to be so interesting before it even started, luckily she came to watch!

"Game start!"

The referee blew the whistle, and then threw the ball high into the air. Akagi and Hainan's No. 5 Takasago jumped up to grab the ball at the same time. Akagi grabbed the jump ball first, and then patted the ball into the hands of Miyagi who had been waiting at the side.

The moment Miyagi received the ball, Rukawa quickly ran towards Hainan's basket, and Miyagi passed the ball accurately to Rukawa's hands with an exquisite pass.

At the moment Hainan's basket was unguarded, Rukawa jumped up to shoot, but Mu Shenyi, who had already sensed his intention, blocked the ball.Rukawa was startled, but reacted quickly, changed the ball to his left hand in the air, and then skillfully passed the ball to Mitsui who was rushing behind him, but was intercepted by Shenzong Ichiro from Hainan.

Kami dodged Mitsui's defense, and then vigorously passed the ball to Kiyota in the Shohoku half, "Nobunaga!"

"Wait a minute! Wild monkey!" Seeing this, Sakuragi immediately chased after Kiyota in front.

"Who do you say is a wild monkey?! You are the monkey! The red-haired monkey!!" Qingtian immediately retorted.

Before the ball was passed to Kiyota, Sakuragi suddenly jumped up high and snatched the ball amidst the exclamation of the audience, but he made a walking error after grabbing the ball. So the ball was finally given to Hainan.

But in any case, such a wonderful performance at the beginning of the game was enough to make the audience stunned.

Facing Hainan's offense, Xiangbei adopted the most suitable man-to-man defense. However, the height gap between Miyagi and Mu made it easy for Mu to pass the ball to Takasago under the basket. However, Takasago's shot was still missed by Akagi. blocked.

The two sides competed fiercely, but no one was able to score a goal.

Mu stopped Mitsui's shot, and the ball fell into Hainan's hands again.God and Kiyota came to the basket in Shonhoku, and God took advantage of Rukawa's momentary hesitation to pass the ball to Kiyota.

Sakuragi jumped up when Kiyota jumped up to shoot the basket. Sakuragi was about to block the shot, but Kiyota suddenly turned around, avoided Sakuragi's interception, and poured the ball into the basket with a backhand. Hainan scored first!

Shohoku's performance in the early stages of the game was surprisingly tenacious, and Akagi broke the deadlock for Shohoku with a powerful slam dunk.There are still 10 minutes before the end of the first half, and the score gap between the two teams has not exceeded 4 points. The current score is "16-20", and Hainan is only leading by 4 points.

In this game, Sakuragi's outstanding performance under the rebound exceeded everyone's expectations, and his ability to grab rebounds was once again proved.Because Sakuragi grabbed almost all the rebounds, it created a lot of offensive opportunities for Xiangbei.

Sakuragi's wonderful performance also attracted the attention of Hainan team captain Mu Shenyi and coach Gaotou. Mu decided to defend Sakuragi himself, "Let me deal with No. 10!"

The moment Sakuragi turned around and saw Mu, he couldn't help asking in surprise, "What grade are you... are you in high school?"

Sakuragi immediately protested to Kiyota who was beside him, "Wild Monkey! It's really treacherous for you to invite a graduated senior to come back to compete!"

"Is there something wrong with your brain?! Senpai Mu is only a high school student, only 17 years old!" This guy Sakuragi is so rude, he even dares to make jokes with Senpai Mu, he is really reckless!

"What? 17 years old?!" Sakuragi looked back at Mu with scrutiny, and then shouted at Kiyota with disbelief, "He's only 17 years old?! Who are you trying to deceive!"

"Attention players on both sides, it is forbidden to talk during the game!" At this moment, the referee finally couldn't bear it and stopped the two of them, "This time, give a verbal warning first, and if you do it again, you will be sentenced to 'delay the game' and disqualify you from the game. Especially the number 10 on both sides!"

"Big idiot..." Rukawa beside him couldn't help but sigh.

And Kaoru in the stands had already laughed out loud, it seems that she and Sakuragi are really heroes who see the same thing!Hahaha!

Just when everyone thought the episode was over, Mu suddenly walked up to Sakuragi and said solemnly, "Akagi looks much older than me."

Mu's words made everyone present petrified, especially Akagi...

"You said that..." Because of Mu's reminder, Sakuragi couldn't help but look back at Akagi.

"Don't look over here!" Akagi glared at Sakuragi angrily.

……

After Sakuragi successfully shot past Kiyota's defense with a feint, coach Takatou finally called a timeout. The score at this moment was "20-24", Hainan still led by 4 points, and there were still 9 minutes before the end of the first half. .

The Hainan team played an unexpected card. They replaced the No. 6 god with the 160cm tall and very weak-looking Gong Yiyi Fan, and asked him to defend Sakuragi, who was in full swing.

Just when everyone was puzzled, Akagi and Rukawa of the Xiangbei basketball team were the first to discover Coach Takato's intentions.

"So that's how it is, really clever." Rukawa glanced at the high head coach in the Hainan player area, and muttered softly.

At the same time, Kaoru in the stands said the same thing.

During Sakuragi's successive mistakes, his weakness as a basketball beginner was gradually exposed, and everyone finally understood the real reason why the high-headed coach sent Gong Yi to defend Sakuragi.Sakuragi has always been victorious. If he encounters an opponent stronger than himself, he will unknowingly use his potential to deal with the strong opponent in front of him, but if he faces an opponent weaker than himself, he will not be able to exert his true strength. strength.

Contrary to Sakuragi, Gong Yi scored three-pointers in several shots, and the score between the two teams gradually widened.

"24-39", the score was suddenly stretched by 15 points. At this time, coach Anxi finally called a timeout, and then decisively replaced Sakuragi, and Hainan also replaced Gong Yi at the same time.

"What is 15 points! What is it! Rukawa Kaede! Rukawa Kaede! Rukawa Kaede!"

Only then did Kaoru realize that the people sitting behind her were all Feng's personal guards, and the number of them was extremely spectacular.Kaoru couldn't help stroking her forehead. It seems that she really chose the wrong seat. I hope that she won't attract too much attention when she sits here. After all, she sneaked out...

The game starts again, with Kiyota defending Rukawa.

"Finally, I can compete with you, Rukawa." Kiyota had been looking forward to this duel for a long time.

Ignoring Kiyota's provocation, Rukawa concentrated on the game on the court. Is it a man-marking tactic...

Although Rukawa ignored him, Kiyota still didn't stop, "Because you joined Xiangbei, you are considered a super rookie. If you change to Hainan, you probably won't even be in the main election! Decide now Who is the real chief newcomer!" It's a pity that Nanase is not here, otherwise she can see how he beat Rukawa to pieces, hehehe~~

Rukawa caught the incoming ball, couldn't help sighing, then raised his eyes sharply, "You are all so chattering..."

"Only a first-class point guard can get rid of me. With your dribbling technique, don't even think about it..."

Before Kiyota finished speaking, Rukawa suddenly and skillfully switched the ball from behind to the other hand, then swayed past Kiyota and made a successful shot.

"26-39"

There are still 13 points left... Rukawa calculated the gap in his heart. As for the title of chief rookie, he didn't care about it at all, and he was not interested at all.

Because he believed in Akagi's ability to grab rebounds, Rukawa made a bold shot, but he didn't expect that Akagi sprained his foot during a rebound!Although Akagi passed the ball to Rukawa at the moment of falling, Rukawa also successfully scored, but Akagi fell to the ground.

Akagi had to leave the court because of a badly swollen foot. At this time, the situation on the court was not good for Shohoku.

Akagi-senpai... Kaoru stood up from his seat, couldn't help worrying about Akagi's injury, looked at Rukawa under his eyes, Kaoru turned and ran towards the players' lounge in Shonhoku.

As soon as Kaoru walked to the door of the Xiangbei lounge, he saw Sakuragi standing outside and eavesdropping.

Kaoru was about to step forward, but heard the sound of arguing in the lounge.

"It's so stupid! Your feet are so swollen that you can't even stand up by yourself. You must see a doctor for an examination!" This was Caizi's voice...

"I want to play!" This is Akagi's voice...

"But there might be something wrong with your foot bones!"

"Stop talking! Get a bandage! It doesn't matter if the bones are broken, it doesn't matter if you can't walk again! It took a lot of hard work to get this opportunity, and you must never let it go!"

Akagi's words deeply shocked Kaoru and Sakuragi standing outside the door.

The game continued, and Sakuragi replaced Akagi.

Stimulated by Akagi's words just now, Sakuragi was in a high spirited state as soon as he came on the court, and directly intercepted Kiyota's pass.

When attacking, Rukawa glanced at Kiyota next to him and said, "Everyone can see that you want to pass the ball to him, idiot."

"Stop talking!" Kiyota was upset enough to be stopped by Sakuragi.

Sakuragi passed the ball to Mu Mu with a long pass. Mu Mu just shot the ball, but Kiyota took a shot of it.

"Good pass." But it was a coincidence that Rukawa who came after him just caught the ball and made a successful shot.

Rukawa glanced at the score, "30-39", still 9 points away...

Because of Akagi's absence, Hainan aimed at the gap in Xiangbei Middle Road and attacked fiercely. The competition for the basket was extremely fierce, but fortunately, everyone in Xiangbei united and resolved several crises, among which Sakuragi's performance was the most prominent.

"I'm King Kong's younger brother at the basket!" Sakuragi managed to defuse Kiyota's slam dunk.

"Sakuragi, even if you want to fill Akagi's vacancy, you don't have to imitate his cry." Mu Mu finally couldn't help reminding him, because Sakuragi's cry like Akagi's is too weird.

"Well... I see." Before the gorilla comes back, they must not let them open the score!As long as he can do it, he will do it!Uh, let's forget about the orangutan...

There are still 2 minutes until the end of the first half, and the current score is "34-45".

Facing Xiangbei's fast attack, Hainan quickly returned to defense without giving Xiangbei any chance.

"Hey!" Rukawa raised his hand towards Miyagi, and when Miyagi saw this, he passed the ball to Rukawa.

The moment Rukawa received the ball, he turned around and jumped up and shot without even the slightest hesitation or pause. The defensive Kiyota had no time to react, and Rukawa quickly scored a goal like this.

Just when many people thought that Rukawa's shot was too reckless, no one knew the fighting spirit ignited in Rukawa's heart.

There are still 9 points left...Rukawa's mind is all about the score at the moment, he doesn't want to lose in the game, even if the opponent is Hainan, he doesn't want to be defeated!

Suddenly caught a glimpse of Hainan's high-headed coach who kept fanning beside him, Rukawa felt that it was an eyesore, that smelly old man...

Just when Xiangbei's fast break was once again resolved by Hainan's quick defense, Miyagi found that Rukawa let him pass the ball to him like last time, and his eyes were even hotter than last time...

As soon as Rukawa got the ball, Kiyota launched a close defense. Rukawa pretended to attack from the right, then turned around and attacked from the left at the moment Kiyota was fooled, and once again passed Kiyota to score.

But this is far from over. During the run, Rukawa suddenly leaned back and stole the ball that Hainan No. 9 originally passed to Mu. Taking advantage of Hainan's unpreparedness, he scored another goal.

In a short period of time, Rukawa scored two goals in a row, and the audience was shocked by Rukawa's superb skills!

Rukawa glanced at the score board, "40-45", 5 points away...

With 1 minute left in the first half, when the ball was passed to Rukawa again, the audience immediately erupted, all of which were full of Rukawa's support.

Rukawa turned around and got rid of Kiyota's defense, avoided Takasago's interception in the air, and made a successful shot again. This time, not only the audience on the court, but even the players on both sides were shocked by Rukawa's skills. One thought: this first grade is not easy, it's definitely the real deal!

Everyone hadn't recovered from the goal just now. After Rukawa received the ball, he suddenly shot a three-pointer unexpectedly, and this goal actually went in. It was like a divine help!

There is no doubt that Rukawa has dominated the game at this moment!

"45-47", with 39 seconds left before the end of the first half, Hainan's top coach finally called a timeout.

After a short break, Mu scored a goal through a quick cut as soon as he came up, pulling the score to 4 points.

In the remaining 20 seconds, Hainan decided to defend to the end. Although Sakuragi grabbed the ball, he was tightly surrounded by the three and could not break through.

Just when Sakuragi was at a loss, Rukawa suddenly ran over, "Idiot, give it to me!"

"Rukawa!" In desperation, Sakuragi passed the ball to Rukawa at the last moment.

After Rukawa got the ball, he immediately passed it to Mitsui in front, and then ran to Hainan's basket, and then took the ball from Mitsui. At this moment, Mu also chased after him.

"Win, we must win." Rukawa is now full of fighting spirit, even if he is facing the strongest man in Kanagawa, Mu Shenyi, he has no fear at all.

"Come on, Rukawa!"

The two jumped up at the same time, and Mu stretched out his hand to grab the ball. The moment Rukawa was about to touch the ball, Rukawa suddenly changed his movements in the air. After avoiding Mu, he poured the ball into the basket with one hand. All dumbfounded.

"47-49", there are still 5 seconds left before the end of the first half.

"Okay! Maple!!" Kaoru in the stands couldn't help pulling off his mask to cheer for Rukawa.

"……"Um?It seems that I heard a voice that shouldn't be here... Rukawa couldn't help but look up at the stands aside, but he didn't see any familiar figures except for a large group of crazy girls. Rukawa was puzzled.

Xun who was hiding under the guardrail couldn't help but sweat. It was so dangerous just now, she almost forgot that she sneaked out...

"What a coincidence, Kaoru."

At this time, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind Kaoru, which made Kaoru startled.

Xun turned around stiffly, then looked up at the smiling Xiandao, and immediately patted the horse, "Akira, you are here! Today's game against Buri must be very exciting, but unfortunately I didn't see your heroic appearance .”

Growing up together, Xiandao is not so easy for Kaoru to be fooled, "Aren't you supposed to rest at home? Why did you come here?"

Kaoru smiled and was about to explain, when Rukawa on the field suddenly snatched the ball from Kiyota, and scored another goal in the last two seconds, tying the score!

Rukawa and Kaoru clenched their right fists at the same time, and finally it was evenly divided!

Seeing Kaoru beside him who was happier than he won the game, Xiandao's eyes were a little complicated, but he soon smiled in relief.

At this time, the whistle sounded for the end of the first half, and the injured Akagi also returned to the court. Everyone couldn't help but began to look forward to a more exciting game in the second half.

"Rukawa, well done!" On the way back to the waiting room, Caizi couldn't help but praise Rukawa for his good performance just now. He even tied the score by himself. This kid is really not easy.

"En." Excessive exercise exacerbated Rukawa's fatigue, and Rukawa just responded lightly.

At this moment, Rukawa suddenly noticed the sneaky figure beside the vending machine in front of him, and saw that person wearing a large white mask, acting suspiciously.

"Here!" The suspicious man rushed up and stuffed a clean wet towel and a bottle of ice mineral water into Rukawa's hands, then turned and left quickly.

"Xun!" Rukawa suddenly called out to her.

After a pause, Kaoru turned around with a smile, and said in a Kansai accent, "You mistook the person, I am your fan!"

"Shouldn't you be at home? Why did you come here?" Rukawa asked without being misled by Kaoru at all, wiping off his sweat.

Sure enough... She really doesn't understand sometimes. Feng usually looks dull, but why is he so shrewd sometimes?

"Well, I feel pretty much better, so I'll come over to watch the game." Since he couldn't hide it, Kaoru wasn't happy to pretend, so he took off his mask generously.

As soon as Kaoru finished speaking, Rukawa suddenly stepped forward and touched her forehead with his hand, and then said puzzledly, "Is there any? Your forehead is still a little hot... wait, why is your face so red?! "

"Ahem... the weather is just a little hot." Did Feng want her to tell him directly, was she blushing from embarrassment? !She was really worried that Shi Feng would ask her why she was shy...

Seeing that Kaoru was about to leave, Rukawa suddenly said, "Since you're here, please sit back in the contestant area." For some reason, Kaoru wasn't making noise around him today, but instead he felt weird, as if something was wrong.

Kaoru looked at Rukawa in surprise, a smile immediately bloomed on his face.

"Listen, although I have said this sentence many times, I have never believed in it like today, we are the strongest!"

Akagi's return to the team boosted the morale of Xiangbei, and the second half of the game began.

With Akagi's slam dunk, Xiangbei scored 2 points first in the second half and led Hainan for the first time. However, it was precisely because of Akagi's tenacity that Mu finally completely ignited his fighting spirit.

As the chief player of Kanagawa County, Mu Shenyi's full-strength offensive in Shoubei was unmatched, coupled with Shenzong Ichiro's precise three-pointer, the game suddenly turned to Hainan.

Hainan's fierce offensive, Akagi's foot injury, Mitsui, Miyagi, and Rukawa's fatigue... At this moment, Xiangbei is facing internal and external troubles, and the situation is not optimistic.

"63-73", with the last 10 minutes left in the game, coach Anxi finally called a timeout.

Facing the strongest combination of Mu and Shen, who are unstoppable, Coach Anzai decided to put all his eggs in one basket. Akagi, Mitsui, Miyagi, and Rukawa formed a zone defense to trap Shenichi Mu who had penetrated into the center. Ichiro Shenzong, who went to defend the perimeter alone, completely blocked the two of them.

"Coach, aren't the other players in Hainan unguarded?!" Mitsui couldn't help asking doubts after hearing Coach Anxi's strategy.

"Well, yes!" Coach Anxi pushed his glasses and said seriously, "At that time, I can only pray that they miss the shot."

"..." Everyone was speechless, but they also knew that this was the only way to deal with Mu Shenyi.

Kaoru on the side couldn't help but touch his chin. It's a risky move. This may be the best way now. Coach Anxi is really scheming!Hey~~ It would be great if she could use all kinds of methods to her heart's content, in that case she has many ways, hehe!It's a pity that I can't...

Facts have proved that Coach Anxi's decision is correct, and Xiangbei successfully blocked Hainan's offensive by relying on this strategy.

As time passed, the two sides launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle.Hainan pulled the score gap to 6 points, Xiangbei turned the gap back to 4 points, Xiangbei chased the score gap to 4 points, Hainan turned the gap back to 6 points... Both sides refused to give in, and the score has always been stalemate Between 4 and 6 minutes, and time is running out.

There are still 2 minutes left in the game, but at this time the stadium has become unusually quiet...
