[Slam Dunk] Undefended heart

Xiandao launched an offensive suddenly, and Rukawa immediately returned to defend and intercept, but unexpectedly, Xiandao stopped suddenly in the middle, and then imitated Rukawa's previous tricks, dribbled the ball quickly in the lower plate, and then jumped up to shoot the basket.

"..." Although there was no expression on Rukawa's face, his heart was not calm. Xiandao wanted to tell him that if he could do it, could he do the same or even do it better than him?Just what he wanted!

"Come on!" At this moment, Xiandao had already set up his formation, waiting for Rukawa to attack at any time.

After receiving the ball, Rukawa made a fake move with his back to Xiandao, turned around and was about to shoot the basket, but unexpectedly Xiandao noticed his intention early in the morning and intercepted the ball.

Xiandao passed the ball to Zhicao, but the ball was finally stolen by Miyagi and scored a layup.

"35-36", the score was shortened to one point again.

From this point on, the game entered a tug-of-war. Lingnan, who was pressed by Xiangbei, missed the opportunity to attack because of Futian's repeated fouls. However, facing the tight defense centered on the giant mermaid, Xiangbei also had no chance to score.The two sides kept exchanging possession during the 30-second attack time, and as a result, no one allowed the other side to score an extra point in the next 3 minutes. It was not until Sendo avoided the defense of Akagi and Rukawa at the same time and scored with a flip-hand shot again. deadlock.

Xiandao's score made the contestants in Lingnan jubilant, "It's really amazing, you are worthy of being the senior of Xiandao! Rukawa, did you see it? You are still far behind!"

Xun remembered that Zhang used this trick to turn Lingnan into victory when he was practicing the game. She believed that Feng must have remembered it more clearly and deeply than she did.

As Kaoru expected, the stimulated Rukawa shot a goal from outside the three-point line without making any adjustments after receiving the ball, and the goal went into the basket impartially, instantly killing the lagging players. The score was tied.

After making the shot, Rukawa deliberately walked to the sideline of the Lingnan player area, and arrogantly spread his hands at the group of ecstatic players just now, so angry that they couldn't say a word.

Seeing this, Kaoru couldn't help but burst out laughing. At first it might be because of childhood memories, but after getting along with each other for a long time and getting to know him better, Kaoru found that he really fell in love with this person in front of him. His childish side is very cute to her. Is this the so-called 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'?

Then centered on the two aces, the two teams launched an evenly matched offensive and defensive battle, and the score was stalemate for a while.

Stimulated by Rukawa and Xiandao, Sakuragi was not to be outdone, and he decided to have a showdown with Fukuda, a shame he had suffered before.

At first, no one expected Sakuragi's performance, and he did make a random shot at the basket, but it was precisely because of his continuous offense that Uozumi finally couldn't help but made the fourth foul, which made Lingnan had to temporarily replace him, which can be said to be an unexpected big gain.

Afterwards, Sakuragi missed a free throw, but he grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Mitsui who was unguarded behind him. Mitsui lived up to expectations and scored a wonderful three-pointer. "45-44" is ahead!

Due to the departure of the giant mermaid, Lingnan's defense at the basket suddenly became weaker. Xiangbei took advantage of this frequently to succeed, and the situation of the game completely turned to Xiangbei's side.

"49-44", Akagi pulled the difference between the two teams to 5 points with a volley dunk that shocked the audience.

"It's all thanks to my genius who grabbed the rebound!" Sakuragi immediately invited the credit.

"Well, that's right! You did a great job!" Akagi's rare compliment made Sakuragi feel flattered immediately.

At this time, Rukawa suddenly came over and pointed at Sakuragi and said, "Do you think that grabbing a ball can make up for the mistakes you made before?"

"What?!" Sakuragi who was in a good mood heard Rukawa say this, and immediately retorted, "Aren't you useless in the first half?!"

Rukawa was taken aback, turned his head and said, "I'm only starting now!"

"Me too!" Sakuragi was not to be outdone.

The words were still in his ears, but Sakuragi quickly made an own goal. In the process of grabbing a rebound, Sakuragi accidentally pushed the ball into his own basket and scored 2 points for Lingnan.

When Xiandao ran past Sakuragi, he stopped suddenly and said to him, "Thank you very much."

Later, Fukuda did not forget to praise Sakuragi, "You still have merits!"

"..." Sakuragi already felt very ashamed, but now she is even more ashamed.

However, this unexpected episode did not affect Xiangbei's advantage. Then Xiangbei quickly recovered the lost points, and took advantage of the victory to push Lingnan into a predicament.After Akagi blocked Sendo's offense to the basket with a block, Shohoku took full control of the game.

Kaoru remembered that coach Anxi once said that they were very strong. At this moment, she deeply realized the true meaning of this sentence. When the five of them fully utilized their talents, she believed that no matter what kind of opponent they encountered, they would be able to defeat them. !

"59-46", Xiangbei leads by 13 points!

At this time, there were still 6 minutes left before the end of the game. Coach Tian Gang, who was planning to decide the winner in the last 5 minutes, finally couldn't sit still and let Yuzhu play early.

"61-46", after Miyagi intercepted the ball, he used his good fast break to throw off Sendo's defense in the blink of an eye, and directly scored a layup, adding another icing on the cake for Shonhoku.

Although he returned to the field, the advantage of the game is still in Xiangbei. Yuzhu knows this very well. At the same time, he also knows that he and the team are in a very unfavorable situation, but for some reason, it is completely different from before. He is unusually calm at the moment.

After getting the ball, Uozumi did not compete with Akagi impatiently as before, but first tested the referee's bottom line, and then passed the ball after seeing the situation clearly.

"What's wrong with Uozu? Don't you dare to fight me? You have no ambition!" Seeing Uozu flinch, Akagi couldn't help provoking words.

"Shut up, Akagi, shut up!" In the evaluation of the outside world, Akagi has always been higher than him, and what makes him even more upset is that Akagi's height is not as good as him.He doesn't want others, especially Akagi, to think that he is just tall, so he keeps practicing every day just to compete with Akagi at the basket, but he doesn't have the talent of Akagi, can he not compare to Akagi? ?No!No such thing!

With 2 seconds left to switch offense and defense, Uozumi passed the ball to Sendo who was rushing to the side without hesitation, and Sendo quickly passed the ball to Fukuda who was unguarded, and Fukuda scored a layup.

"61-48", Lingnan finally scored.

Looking at the teammates who were happy because of the goal, Uozumi was relieved. There are many scoring ability in their team. He doesn't need to care too much about how many points he can score. As long as the team wins, it doesn't matter if he is not the protagonist!

After realizing the reality, Yuzhu relied on his super concentration and amazing willpower to defend Lingnan's basket like a rock, and the situation of the game began to turn to Lingnan.

Yuzhu's wonderful performance also set another person on fire, he is Lingnan's trump card, Xiandao Zhang!

Lingnan's offensive is as if initiated by Xiandao, and Rukawa, who understands Xiandao's intentions, has long been prepared for it, but at this time Xiandao unexpectedly got rid of Rukawa's defense by passing the ball to Uozumi under the basket, and returned for Uozumi. Biography creates opportunities.

Xiandao made a gesture to shoot the basket, but Rukawa, who came to defend, saw through this, so he was not fooled. However, what Rukawa didn't expect was that Xiandao actually passed the ball to Uozumi again.

Seeing Xiandao suddenly running towards Yuzumi, Rukawa immediately understood, but it was too late. Although Akagi tried his best to intercept Xiandao who took the ball from Yuzumi and was about to shoot directly, he failed and was sentenced for the third time foul.

With the addition of an additional penalty goal, Lingnan scored 3 points at once, and the difference between the two teams is now only 10 points.

But Xiandao's attack did not end because of this, perhaps it should be said that it was just the beginning...

After intercepting the ball passed to Rukawa, Xiandou quickly dodged past Rukawa, and then evaded the rushing Sakuragi with a beautiful turn, successfully got rid of the two and scored a slam dunk.

"61-53", in less than 1 minute, Xiandao scored 5 points in a row!

"This time I passed both of you." After scoring, Xiandao said provocatively to Sakuragi and Rukawa.

Damn it, smelly fairy!When Sakuragi was angry, he suddenly felt his back burning up, and when he looked back, he found that that kid Rukawa was already on fire.

"..." At this moment, there are only four words in Rukawa's mind: an eye for an eye!

Glancing at the scoreboard, Xiandao said to the other Lingnan team members, "We only need to score one goal per minute to tie the score, and then use the remaining 30 seconds to turn defeat into victory!"

Xiangbei's team members also heard Xiandao's words, and naturally they couldn't calm down.

After receiving the ball, Rukawa said in a rare way, "Xiandao, there is one thing I want to tell you first."

"What's the matter?" Xiandao was very curious about what this cold guy would say.

"Basketball is not arithmetic." After Rukawa finished speaking, he suddenly launched a fierce attack and rushed directly to the basket. Under the double attack of Xiandao and Uozumi, Rukawa suddenly jumped up and shot the basket.

"I haven't gotten rid of my opponent yet, it's too stupid!"

"That kid Rukawa is killing himself!"

……

When everyone was not optimistic, the goal was scored.

Rukawa pointed to the scoreboard and said to Xiandao, "What should I do? The gap has widened again."

"..." Just now, that kid Rukawa wanted to take advantage of the trend to lead the senior to foul before scoring. He was a terrible newcomer, but this reminded him of something... Thinking of this, the corners of Xiandao's mouth rose up almost indistinctly.

During the cross-country attack, follow Xiandao's prior instructions to switch defenses with him, and let Xiandao deal with Miyagi, who is much shorter than him.

Facing Sendo, who was 20 cm taller than him, Miyagi defended harder than usual, but Sendao took advantage of this and drew Miyagi to foul when shooting the basket. This was the fourth foul for Miyagi.

"Ryotian, is it okay?" Caizi in the contestant area beside her couldn't help but worry.

Miyagi waved at Caizi, indicating that she was fine, of course, to reassure Caizi.

"Miyagi, in order to win this game, you can't leave at this time." At this time, Akagi and Mitsui also came over to cheer for Miyagi.

"I understand." These Miyagi also knew very well in his heart, but he had to be more cautious next.

Sakuragi tugged on the clothes of Akagi and Mitsui, and reminded, "Hey, the three of us seem to have fouled three times."

"Well, you have to be careful."

Hearing the words, Rukawa on the side couldn't help sighing, "The foul army."

"what?!"

Rukawa pointed at his seniors, and taught with a serious face, "We must get back all the points that were taken away, and we must not lose the momentum of attack."

"How arrogant!" They had never seen such a stinky newcomer before!

"Stop being self-righteous, your words will only weaken the momentum of others!" Sakuragi didn't want to be lectured by Rukawa.

Rukawa turned around and replied, "Anyway, I'm not talking about you, a guy who can't even attack, you don't have the qualifications."

"Damn it!" Smelly Rukawa, just wait and see!

During the exchange of offense and defense, Xiandao also imitated Rukawa's previous appearance, pointing to the scoreboard and said to Rukawa, "It's only 7 points away now."

Hearing this, Rukawa said unhappily, "Hmph, I will immediately turn the gap into double digits again."

"Yasuda, just in case, do warm-up exercises first, and be ready to play at any time." Coach Anxi is not here, and Mu Mu, the vice-captain, must prepare for the worst.

"Uh, it's..." An Tian looked a little uneasy at the moment.

Kaoru sees everything in his eyes, but there is nothing he can do, because apart from the main draft, Xiangbei really has no players who can stand alone. This is the problem of the depth of the bench, and in this respect Xiangbei is indeed inferior to other seeded team.The problem may not be obvious when facing a weak team, but once it encounters a strong enemy, this may become Xiangbei's Achilles heel...

On the field, the duel between Rukawa and Sendo was still going on, and Rukawa just shot the ball and was shot by Sendo, Rukawa hurriedly snatched the ball back, and then retreated to the three-point line to prepare to shoot.

"Don't be arrogant, Rukawa!" Akagi on the side hurriedly dissuaded.

Just when others thought Rukawa was too reckless like Akagi, Rukawa successfully tricked Xiandao and went straight to the basket to score a dunk.

"Pull it away again." Rukawa glanced at Xiandao, and then returned to defense.

"Interesting." Looking at Rukawa's back, Xiandao smiled, but his eyes were very serious.

Xiandao turned around and said to Cross Country who was dribbling the ball, "Cross Country, give me the ball!"

"Okay." The immortal who used to be called a scoring machine is back!

Xiandao, who was fully fired, quickly scored another goal, which made Rukawa even more angry.

Looking at Rukawa staring at him, Xiandao had to admit that it was very interesting to be one-on-one with him.

With never-say-die fighting spirit, perseverance, and the best scoring ability in the county, it is not unreasonable for Kaoru to like this guy, but no matter what, he will still win in the end!

Facing Lingnan's iron-walled defense, Xiangbei had nothing to gain afterwards. On the contrary, Xiandao made a three-point long-range shot unexpectedly, shortening the point difference between the two teams to four points.

"65-61", with two and a half minutes left in the game, Mu Mu called a timeout.

In the absence of Coach Anxi, facing Lingnan's overwhelming support and the unstoppable Immortal Dao, everyone in Xiangbei didn't know what to do next.

"How to deal with Xiandao?"

Facing Mu Mu's question, everyone was silent because they had no countermeasures.

"Feng..." Kaoru called Rukawa, but found that he didn't respond at all, but his expression was extremely focused.Seeing this, Kaoru couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth, all he could think about at the moment was how to defeat Akira!

Just then, the timeout ended.

"Ah? Is the time up?! What should I do?" Although a timeout was called, Xiangbei still didn't come up with a countermeasure.

"Listen everyone, the opponent is only relying on the immortal way, there is nothing to be afraid of!" In terms of desire to win, Akagi believes that they will never lose to Lingnan, "Never give up the victory to Lingnan, everyone cheer up! "

"Yes!"

Although Xiangbei's momentum remained undiminished, in the face of Lingnan's full-court marking, all the uneasy factors in Xiangbei were exposed one by one. First, Sakuragi's miscommunication, followed by Akagi's fourth foul, and Mitsui was even more physically exhausted. And fell on the field.

In the quiet corridor, Mitsui sat on the steps of the stairs and drank all the bottle of drink in his hand, "Is there any more?"

"Ah, I'll go buy it right away!" Hearing this, Sang Tian immediately ran to buy drinks for Mitsui.

After Sang Tian left, Mitsui raised his right hand and shook it, but found that he couldn't use his strength at all.

hateful!Is his current physical strength worse than when he was in middle school?Is he now just relying on the experience accumulated in junior high school to play...

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Mitsui hurriedly came to his senses, and said to Sang Tian in front of him, "The timeout should have ended, you go back first, I'll be right there."

"Yes!" Sang Tian handed the drink to Mitsui, and said to him confidently, "Senior, we will definitely win!" After speaking, Sang Tian turned and ran towards the field.

Mitsui looked away silently, stretched out his hand to pull the easy-tie ring, but couldn’t pull it off because he couldn’t use enough force, at this moment Mitsui couldn’t restrain his regret anymore, why did he waste precious time before... …

At this time, someone suddenly took the drink in his hand, helped him pull the ring and handed it back to him.

At first, Mitsui thought it was Kuwata who had gone and came back, so he hurriedly wiped away the tears of unwillingness and raised his head, but it was not Kuwata who came, but Shimizu Chine, whom he had been deliberately ignoring all this time.

Seeing that Mitsui didn't pick up the drink, Shimizu bent down and put the drink on the steps near Mitsui's hand, then stood up and leaned against the wall beside him, looked up at the white ceiling, and recalled, "When I finished my rehabilitation, I picked it up again. When playing the violin, the joy in my heart is indescribable, but the joy is followed by greater pain..."

Mitsui didn't understand what Shimizu wanted to tell him, because she seemed more like talking to herself.

Just when Mitsui was about to leave, Shimizu went on to say, "Because the years I wasted made my piano art stagnant or even regressed, looking at those around me who were not as good as me before but are now far behind. For the people I left behind, I regretted my carelessness more than once, and even thought of giving up, but luckily I didn't do that."

Shimizu looked sideways at Mitsui, smiled and said, "Even if there is only a 10% chance, don't give up lightly, right? I believe that your persistence in your dreams is not limited to this level." This is Mitsui's words that encouraged her at the beginning , is also what she wants to say to Mitsui at the moment.

"You..." Does she still remember what he said back then...

"Ah, the game is at a critical juncture now, so I have to go back and watch it quickly." After saying that, Shimizu turned and left, but the moment she turned her back, the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up, because she believed that Mitsui It will soon get out of the trough, and then it will definitely become as dazzling as it was back then, for sure!

Looking at Shimizu's back, Mitsui breathed a sigh of relief, and finally regained his usual confident smile. He actually let a girl come to comfort him. When did he become so mean?It seems that he has to cheer up soon!

At this moment, the situation on the field is still unfavorable to Xiangbei.

"65-64", Xiandao finally made the score difference between the two teams by only one point by virtue of an extra penalty goal.

There are still 2 minutes left in the game. Whether it is Xiangbei or Lingnan, everyone has a consensus, that is, the next goal will be the key to determining the outcome. Whoever scores first will be able to enter the country!

At this critical juncture, Sakuragi, who has always been considered by Coach Tianoka as an uneasy factor in Shonhoku, did a series of things to reverse the situation. He intercepted Fukuda, Sendo and Uozu successively, destroying three excellent scoring opportunities in Lingnan, It was only then that Coach Tian Gang realized that Sakuragi was not only a factor of uneasiness in northern Hunan, but also a factor of unrest in Lingnan.

With one minute left in the clock, Sakuragi unexpectedly intercepted Lingnan's pass again, and when everyone thought he was going to pass to Rukawa under the basket, he unexpectedly passed it to Mugure who was unguarded.

"Mu Mu, good opportunity, shoot quickly!"

All the past flashed through his mind quickly, and Mu Mu firmly shot a three-pointer...

Under everyone's attention, the ball shot straight into the basket, "68-64", Xiangbei led by four points!

With 58 seconds left before the end of the game, Coach Tianoka finally called a timeout.

After a short rest, Xiandao suddenly showed his power, and he quickly cut in and scored two points as soon as he came up, but these two points were pulled back by Sakuragi's unexpected volley dunk.

"Come back to defense! Xiandao is coming!" Sakuragi clearly remembered the lesson from the practice match.

"70-66", there is still the last second left in the game, and even Xiandao is powerless.

As the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Xiangbei finally won and finally qualified to enter the national competition!

"Rukawa, well done!" Ayako happily clapped Rukawa's hands.

"Yeah." At this time, Rukawa's face was a bit confused. In the past, every time he won a game, Kaoru would be the first to rush over to congratulate him, and he always smiled happier than him. Why didn't he even see anyone today? arrive?

Rukawa couldn't help looking around for someone, but finally saw her in Lingnan, and she was still with Xiandao...

Sensing Rukawa's sight, Xiandou rubbed Kaoru's hair with a light smile, and said, "Go, your teammates are waiting for you, I'm fine."

"Well, let's talk later." If it were someone else, she would have set off firecrackers to celebrate, but the loser was Zhang, so she couldn't laugh because she knew that the person in front of her was called a genius She also understands the remorse and unwillingness hidden under his breezy appearance. If possible, she hopes that Xiangbei and Lingnan will enter the national competition...

Back in Xiangbei, Kaoru smiled and said to Rukawa, "It's great to be able to enter the national competition, Feng."

To Kaoru's surprise, Rukawa just glanced at her and turned his back, ignoring her at all.

"..." Xun was stunned, and couldn't help but wonder if Feng still minded the loss to Xiandao on the court before.

And at this moment, Rukawa's real thoughts are... hum!He is actually still behind that guy from Xiandao? !

At the subsequent awards ceremony, Mu Shenichi, Shinmune Ichiro, Akagi Takenori, Rukawa Kaede and Sendo Akira were elected as the BEST5 in Kanagawa Prefecture, and Mu Shenyi won the MVP player award.At this point, the county competition has come to an end, and the next is the national competition where masters gather.
