[Slam Dunk] Undefended heart

On June 6, after a short break, Xiangbei finally ushered in the second game of the final week, the match against Buri High School.

In the absence of the two main candidates, Akagi and Sakuragi, Xiangbei still won easily, beating Buri with "120-81", among which Rukawa scored the most points personally.The reason for Akagi's absence is because his foot injury has not fully recovered. As for Sakuragi, he overslept because he did 200 shots in the morning...

However, what attracts the audience today is not the match between Xiangbei and Wuli, but the next match between Hainan and Lingnan, which is the real decisive battle.

After the game, the Xiangbei group did not leave, but sat in the front row of the auditorium, preparing to watch the next match between Hainan and Lingnan. As the opponent of the next game, Lingnan is the key observation object of everyone in Xiangbei.

"Chang! Come on!" Kaoru couldn't help cheering for Xiandao who was warming up below.

Hearing the familiar voice, Xiandao looked sideways at Kaoru who was standing on the stand waving enthusiastically at him, and the corners of his mouth could not help but raise.

At the side, he wanted to perform a volley dunk, but he didn't expect that Kiyota, who ended in failure, became even more depressed. Rukawa first, and then Xiandou, how come his rivals are stronger than each other...

Seeing the tacit but tacit interaction between Xiandao and Kaoru, Rukawa couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly.

This decisive battle was beyond the expectations of many people at the beginning. First, Coach Tianoka sent Xiandao as the point guard, and then the astonishing offensive ability of Fukuda Yoshio, who made his debut for the first time. Of course, the most unexpected is the king Hainan was suppressed by Lingnan.

With 8 minutes and 29 seconds left before the end of the first half, Lingnan led Hainan by 9 points, and coach Gaotou finally called a timeout.

"Does Akira serve as a point guard... It seems that Coach Tianoka is quite good." Broad vision, finding the opponent's gaps, creating opportunities to score goals, awareness of passing...all these talents are possessed by Akira, Kaoru thinks The point guard is the position that can best display its true strength. It seems that tomorrow's battle against Lingnan will not be easy.

Although Hainan called a timeout and made some adjustments, the game situation still did not improve.Relying on the advantage in the early stage of the game, Lingnan led Hainan by 10 points and ended the first half of the game.After entering the second half, Lingnan's advantage continued...

With 11 minutes and 29 seconds left before the end of the game, the point difference between the two teams was reduced to 15 points. If someone said that the day of King Hainan’s defeat had finally come, not many people present would be surprised.

However, some viewers could not help but say this...

"Hey! Old guy! Do you mean that Xiangbei, which was defeated by Hainan, will be weaker than Lingnan?!" Sakuragi, who was sitting in the front row, finally couldn't help but burst out.

Seeing this, the other team members immediately came up to dissuade them.

At this time, Fukuda scored another goal on the court, and Sakuragi finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Hey Sakuragi, where are you going?"

"I'm going back," Sakuragi said and left, "I can't continue to waste time like this." He has to go back and continue the special training, and he must not lose to Lingnan tomorrow!

Before leaving, Sakuragi suddenly shouted to the field, "Hey! Uncle! Wild monkey! Don't be lazy! You will only make others think that we are weak in Xiangbei!!"

Even Sakuragi himself may not have thought that his unintentional words would actually turn the tide of the game around. Because of Sakuragi's stimulation, Kiyota finally began to show his strength and opened up the situation for Hainan with a powerful slam dunk.

At this time, Rukawa, Mitsui and Miyagi couldn't sit still anymore.

"Hey! Are you going back too?"

"I already know the strength of Lingnan, there is no need to read any further."

Seeing them leave one by one, Akagi couldn't help sighing, "These guys don't even have any team spirit, really."

Kaoru looked at Rukawa, then at Xiandao on the field, hesitated for a moment, but still caught up with Rukawa in front of him.

Akira, I'm sorry, please do your best... Kaoru thought unconscionably in her heart.

Although Kiyota's slam dunk made the situation of the game more subtle again, Lingnan's defense allowed Hainan to only score 25 points in the first half and lead by 15 points at one time. It is definitely not easy. Xiandao, it seems that tomorrow's game still depends on him...

Rukawa was just thinking about it, when he suddenly heard soft footsteps coming from behind him, and when he looked back, he realized that Kaoru had followed him at some point.

"Don't you watch Xiandao's game?" Rukawa thought she would definitely stay and watch the game, after all, her relationship with Xiandao has always been close.

Kaoru walked up to Rukawa with a smile, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Even without my support, Akira will go all out, and I want to stay by Feng's side even more!"

Rukawa stared at Kaoru for a while, then continued walking without saying anything.

Kaoru hurriedly followed, "Should we go back and step up practice now?"

"..." He didn't say anything, how could she know that he wanted to go back to practice? !

Just when Rukawa was puzzled, a creature that interested him suddenly appeared in front of him, a black cat...

One person and one cat looked at each other for a while, Rukawa squatted down, and hooked his hands at the cat.

The black cat hesitated for a while, and just after taking half a step forward, it suddenly felt a strong murderous aura coming towards him, and this murderous aura emanated from the cute girl standing behind the boy.

The black cat couldn't help but shuddered, its hair stood on end, and it ran away in the blink of an eye, leaving behind Rukawa who was hit hard for unknown reasons...

Kaoru squatted down in front of Rukawa, then put his hand into Rukawa's unretracted hand, and said innocently with a smile, "Feng, let's go." Dead cat, dare to snatch her?snort!

As soon as Rukawa and Kaoru arrived at school, they heard the bad news that Coach Anzai fell ill and was hospitalized...

"What?! Coach him..." Both Miyagi and Mitsui were a little excited, especially Mitsui.

"So dad will be absent from tomorrow's game, you have to cheer up." Sakuragi told everyone about the situation.

"It's not time for the third grade to withdraw from the competition." The current situation is not good for Xiangbei, and Miyagi is a little worried about tomorrow's competition.

Mitsui immediately retorted, "Even if the summer is over, I won't retire, I still have to participate in the winter trials!"

"Huh, is that so?!" Miyagi looked at Mitsui in surprise, he always thought that Mitsui would retire with Boss Akagi and the others.

"What's wrong? Are you very dissatisfied?!" Miyagi's attitude made Mitsui dissatisfied.

"No, it's not..."

"Okay! I'm going to practice harder, and I still have 172 goals!" Sakuragi is still fighting high, and he must win tomorrow!

"Then I'll be in charge of defense, Sakuragi." Sakuragi's enthusiasm infected Mitsui.

"Then I'll pass the ball." Miyagi also joined in.

At this time, Rukawa who had been silent at the side also spoke, "Then I will be responsible for criticizing you from the side."

So, the two fought again as a matter of course.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Xun's heart suddenly brightened. Although the road to the national competition in Xiangbei is extremely bumpy, if it is this team, there must be no problem!

On the other hand, the game between Hainan and Lingnan changed drastically due to Yuzhu’s foul and left the field. It began to gradually fall to Hainan. Still lost to Hainan by six points.

Hainan has advanced to the national competition as a winner for 17 consecutive years, and the remaining spot will be decided between Lingnan and Xiangbei. The outcome depends on tomorrow's competition.

☆, 33

On June 6, the last day of the county competition, the gymnasium was full.

After Hainan easily defeated Buri with "98-51", the long-awaited battle between Xiangbei and Lingnan finally kicked off, and the stands were full of cheers.

"Defensively, man-to-man is used as usual. Of course I am Uozumi, Miyagi is on Uekusa, Mitsui is on off-road, and Rukawa is in charge of Sendo." Because coach Anzai was away, Akagi, the captain, became the temporary coach.

"What about me?" Sakuragi couldn't help but leaned forward and asked, he also had to deal with Xiandao!

"Your opponent is him!" Akagi said to Sakuragi, pointing to Fukuda Yoshioka in the Lingnan contestant area.

Sakuragi cast a sidelong glance at Futian, and raised the corners of his mouth confidently, "Hmph, that's fine!" Let Futian be Futian!

"The coach is not here today, we have to work harder!" Akagi said with great morale in the last minute before the start of the game.

"Yes!" Everyone in Xiangbei did not lose their fighting spirit.

"Hmm~~ It seems that I can only sit on the coach's bench!" Xun swaggered and sat down on the coach's bench, as if it was a matter of course.

Everyone glanced at her with black lines, this thick-skinned guy...

When playing, Kaoru stretched out his hand to Rukawa, and said with a smile, "Feng, come on!"

Rukawa glanced at Xun, then clapped hands with her, and then raised his eyes, his eyes were already full of fierceness.

Everyone in the first grade in Xiangbei couldn't help admiring Kaoru's courage in their hearts, because Rukawa was really scary today, and they didn't dare to go up and talk to him at all.You must know that Xiandao was the first person to let Rukawa taste defeat, and Rukawa has always been worried about this. Today, his desire to defeat Xiandao can be said to be unprecedentedly strong.

After a short player introduction, the game finally officially started.

Akagi's foot injury was not healed, so Lingnan took the initiative in the first jump ball. After Xiandao got the ball, he was almost snatched by Rukawa, but Xiandao quickly adjusted his state and passed the ball skillfully. Has already run to the hands of Fukuda under the Xiangbei basket.

Fukuda avoided Mitsui's defense and jumped at the basket, but the ball was stopped by Sakuragi before it entered the basket, but in the end the referee judged that the ball was an interference ball from the defensive side, so Lingnan scored 2 points first.

"Why is no goal counted as a score?!" Sakuragi couldn't help arguing with the referee because he didn't know what interference with the ball meant.

"Hanato, don't do this!" Miyagi hurried forward to dissuade him.

"Shut up, you idiot," at this moment, Rukawa suddenly came over and kicked Sakuragi to the ground, "Do you want to end up like that two-meter giant over there?"

Rukawa alluded to the fact that Yuju was kicked off the field because of contradicting the referee and was sentenced to a technical foul in the last game, "But even if you are kicked off, it will have no effect on us." Rukawa turned and walked away.

"How could a genius like me be kicked out for arguing with the referee? Do you think I'm a fool?!" Sakuragi retorted immediately.

The two sang together, completely oblivious to Yuzhu who was already blown up next to him.

Akagi on the side couldn't help but feel emotional in his heart, these two guys are really good at holding Yuu so mad...

Coach Tianoka originally sent Fukuda, who was relatively weak in defense, to defend Sakuragi because Sakuragi's scoring ability was almost zero, but this time he miscalculated.

When Sakuragi showed the results of special training for the first time and scored a goal with a jump shot under the basket, everyone present was shocked, because in the game against Hainan just a few days ago, he didn't understand the jump shot under the basket at all!

"2-2", Sakuragi miraculously evened the score for Xiangbei.

Lingnan's offensive is fierce, but Xiangbei is not inferior. The two teams are clenching the score and will not give in to each other.

However, an accident happened at this time...

Akagi received a pass from Miyagi, passed Uozumi's defense, turned around and jumped up for a dunk, but unexpectedly was fouled by Uozumi's interception, and Akagi fell heavily to the ground as a result.

Although he got a free throw opportunity, Akagi failed to score both goals abnormally. Instead, Yuzhu grabbed the rebound and gave Lingnan a chance to attack.

However, Akagi's abnormality was far more than that. In the next game, Akagi not only passed the wrong ball, but also chose to evade in the match against Yuzhu.

"Senior Akagi looks a little strange, is it because of a foot injury?" Caizi couldn't help showing a worried look on her face.

"The previous fall made Akagi-senpai start to care about his foot injury, so he couldn't concentrate on the game anymore." Seeing Ayako looking at herself puzzled, Kaoru explained, "When Akagi-senpai made a free throw just now, his gaze was intentional or unintentional. Carefully paying attention to my injured left foot, I think it may be a psychological effect."

Akagi-senpai... Looking at Akagi-senpai on the field, Ayako was both worried and a little anxious. She knew that Akagi-senpai played hard, but Xiangbei really couldn't lose Akagi-senpai's vital strength at this moment.

Of course, Lingnan would not let go of such a good opportunity. They saw Akagi's weakness and passed all the balls to Yuzumi, who let Yuzumi score under the basket. The score between the two teams was immediately opened.

In the absence of the coach, Mitsui on the field decisively asked Mugure to call a timeout.

"4-13", Lingnan led by 9 points.

"Mu Mu, we only have two chances for a timeout. This kind of time should not be called a timeout at all." After returning to the player area, Akagi said disapprovingly.

Mitsui heard the words and immediately refuted, "I think this timeout is called at the right time. If Coach Anxi was here, he would definitely do the same!"

"What do you mean?" Akagi glanced at Mitsui, and he heard that there was something in Mitsui's words.

"Now is not the time to argue about right and wrong. We are already 9 points behind, and now we must catch up." Miyagi expressed his opinion.

At this moment, Sakuragi did not forget to come up to join in the fun, "If the gorilla can't do it, let me, Sakuragi, use my personal skills to decide the outcome, how about it?"

"Can you be serious?" Rukawa sighed helplessly.

Sakuragi immediately became annoyed, "Are you qualified to accuse me? You fox has never done anything, you must be afraid of immortality, right?"

Rukawa glared at Sakuragi, obviously angry, because Sakuragi's words just touched what he cared most about.

"Stop arguing, you guys will have a game later!" The other team members immediately came up to dissuade them. Coach Anxi was not there, and everyone was in a state of disunity now. I really didn't know what to do...

"Hmm~~ Looks like I'm the only one up!"

Everyone followed the prestige and saw that Kaoru had already started warming up.

"Xun, don't make any more trouble!" Caizi said rather helplessly.

"No!" Kaoru said confidently while tying her hair, "Don't look at me like this, I can be strong!"

"You're a girl..." Caizi felt that she was starting to have a headache.

Kaoru gave Caizi a thumbs up with a smile, and said with a confident look on her face, "I've tied up my hair, so it looks very MAN? Those idiots won't be able to tell!"

"..." Everyone was speechless.

"That team uniform is mine." At this moment, Rukawa finally discovered the problem.

"..." Everyone was completely speechless, Rukawa~~~ The point of the question is not this!

At this moment, everyone in Xiangbei didn't realize that the tense atmosphere had been swept away.

At this time, Akagi suddenly slapped his face vigorously with both hands, forcing himself to wake up.

Just when Akagi managed to get back together, Sakuragi suddenly walked up to him, held his head and gave him a headbutt without saying a word.

"Sakuragi, you... what are you doing?!" Mu Mu wanted to step forward to stop her, but it was too late.

Sakuragi looked at Akagi and said with a smile, "Are you awake now? The gorilla..."

Before Sakuragi finished speaking, Akagi punched him on the head, "You idiot!"

Thus, a crisis was resolved in the farce of the northern Hunan style...

"That's the way it should be!" Kaoru on the coach's bench smiled and touched his chin with a proud face.

Caizi glanced at her and said, "Get off the coach's bench!" Why did she sit up again in the blink of an eye? !

Akagi, who rekindled his fighting spirit, returned to his previous level, and Xiangbei's defense at the basket was consolidated again, so Lingnan immediately changed his strategy and shifted the focus of attack back to Fukuda. On the one hand, it also spotted Sakuragi's defensive loopholes.

"Hanado, have you noticed?" After Fukuda scored again, Miyagi also saw the clue, "Lingnan concentrated his offensive on Fukuda."

As if seeing Sakuragi's puzzlement, Rukawa on the side said more bluntly, "You are the one who is in charge of watching him, and you have so many defensive loopholes."

"What?!" Sakuragi immediately glared at Rukawa.

"This is their evaluation of you, do you know?" Rukawa glanced at Sakuragi, and said in a calm tone, "They all look down on you."

This time Sakuragi did not refute Rukawa's words, but he was more angry than ever, because he had never suffered such a great humiliation!

In order to intercept Fukuda's volley dunk, Sakuragi also jumped up when Fukuda jumped up, but instead of blocking the ball, he accidentally slipped and hit a row on the sidelines when he landed. The chair suddenly bled profusely from his head.

"Sakuragi, I've already won you!" Fukuda said condescendingly, looking down at Sakuragi who was sitting on the ground.

Sakuragi's rare silence makes people wonder what he is thinking in his heart, only those eyes are full of unwillingness, and the gymnasium at this moment is full of cheers from Lingnan...

When Ayako stopped Sakuragi's bleeding, the first half of the game was coming to an end.

Mitsui, who defended Fukuda instead of Sakuragi, cleverly stole the ball from Fukuda, and then passed it to Rukawa who had already run to Lingnan's basket. Just when everyone thought they could see the duel between Rukawa and Sendo, Rukawa unexpectedly Passed the ball back to Mitsui on the outside.

After Mitsui got the ball, he shot a three-pointer without much hesitation, and Xiangbei also narrowed the point difference to 6 points with this three-pointer.

"26-32", the end of the first half.

During the half-time break, Sakuragi was still brooding over his previous loss to Fukuda.

"Damn it, that stinky Fukuda!" Sakuragi first punched the iron cabinet a few times with his fist, but felt that it wasn't enough, and was about to hit it with his head, but was immediately stopped by Caizi.

"Don't use your head!" She had just stopped the bleeding for him!

Rukawa said lightly while drinking water, "Don't use dead things to vent your anger, lost dog."

"Bastard, what are you talking about?!" This stinking Rukawa never failed to tear him down!

"The defeated general." He didn't mind changing the words.

"Hmph, do you think you are better than me?" Sakuragi turned to ask Caizi beside her, "Ayako, how many points did Rukawa score in the first half?"

Caizi looked at the record book and said in surprise, "2 points."

Upon hearing this, Sakuragi immediately looked at Rukawa with a sinister smile, and teased, "Aren't you also defeated by Xiandao? Sorrowful fox!"

Rukawa gave Sakuragi a blank look, and ignored him. He didn't need to explain anything to an idiot.

Just as Rukawa looked back, Kaoru was looking at him with a smile on his face. Before Rukawa could speak, Kaoru suddenly said, "Feng, come on in the second half!"

"..." So she knew... Although Rukawa felt that he didn't need others to understand him, the feeling of being understood didn't seem bad.

Just as Kaoru guessed, Rukawa learned the lesson from the last battle against Hainan, and blocked the victory in the second half!

"Did you plan to concentrate on the second half from the beginning?" Xiandao also guessed Rukawa's intentions, because based on his understanding of this attacking ghost, it was impossible for him to give up the duel with him.

"This is all to defeat you, prepare to die." At this moment, Rukawa's eyes were extremely sharp.

Just when Xiandao thought that Rukawa would forcefully break through the defense by changing his dribbling speed, Rukawa suddenly stopped, quickly changed the ball from the bottom plate to his right hand, and then directly jumped to score. action.

"A new trick has been added." Compared with three months ago, Rukawa has improved again.

"Hmph, of course." This time, he will never lose to Xiandao again!

At the beginning of the second half, Xiangbei's defense was adjusted. Mitsui was responsible for defending Fukuda, while Sakuragi was sent to defend the third-year Ikegami. This made Sakuragi, who wanted revenge, very dissatisfied, but compared to Sakuragi, Mitsui was really old-fashioned Many, and Fukuda's offense was therefore contained.

At the same time, since the second half, Rukawa has been fully fired, Xiandao described it well, the whole attacking ghost!

Immediately after Mitsui got the ball, he was closely defended by Lingnan. Just when Mitsui was unable to break through, Rukawa suddenly ran over and took the ball from him directly, and used Mitsui and a neat fake move to throw off Xiandao in an instant defense.

Although Xiandao soon caught up again, Rukawa cleverly scored a goal with a one-handed hook and got a chance to add a free throw, which amazed the audience.

The score difference between the two teams was shortened to one point, but Uozumi quickly scored a goal after that to open the score again.

"Tsk!" Akagi was a little concerned because he succeeded in being trapped by a fish.

"Don't mind." Rukawa comforted Akagi in a rare way, then turned and ran away.

Looking at Rukawa's back, Akagi frowned, because you will get your points back soon, so don't you mind?What a reliable guy!

Because Rukawa kept sending 'give me the ball' messages, Miyagi finally got the ball into his hands.

After Rukawa got the ball, he forcibly broke through Xiandao's defense, and jumped up to shoot the basket before he completely got rid of Xiandao. Just when everyone thought it was impossible to score under such urgent circumstances, the ball actually went in!

Rukawa pulled the score back again, and the limelight was the same for a while!

Tian Gang, who saw everything in his eyes, couldn't help recalling the reason why Rukawa refused to enter Lingnan High School at the beginning - because it was close... Then he became completely uneasy, "Xiandao, what the hell did you do? Didn't you have breakfast? Are you full?! When will you be willing to seriously compete? What is that first-year kid?! Block him fiercely for me!"

"What?" Rukawa couldn't help narrowing his eyes when he heard the words.

Tian Gang's disregard for his image immediately caused an uproar in the audience. Tian Gang, who realized that he was overreacting, sat down in embarrassment. If Xiandao is defeated, it will affect the morale of the whole team, so Xiandao must not be defeated. This is the fate of the ace, Xiandao should understand this.

This time, Xiandao didn't rush to attack after getting the ball, but chatted with Rukawa abnormally, "That practice game seems to be three months ago..."

Just when Rukawa didn't understand what Xiandao meant when he said these words, Xiandao continued, "Rukawa, you have the demeanor of a college ace player now, but looking back at that time, you were still childish."

"Bastard..." Rukawa was completely annoyed.

At this time, Xiandao suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, "This is how the competition is interesting."

Seeing Xiandao's smile, Kaoru, who is familiar with him, knows that he is serious, and there will be a lot of fighting in the next game.
