[Slam Dunk] Undefended heart

During the intermission, everyone in the Xiangbei player area was happy because of the wonderful performance in the first half, but Rukawa sat on the side with no expression, not knowing what was going on in his heart.

Rukawa drank his drink quietly, until he drank it all, and finally came back to his senses.

Rukawa searched around subconsciously, and found someone next to her unsurprisingly. At this moment, she was looking at the game records of the first half with her head down, her expression was rare.

The scene in front of him made Rukawa's heart inexplicably quiet.

As if feeling Rukawa's gaze, Kaoru raised his head to look at him, and finally his eyes fell on the can that Rukawa was holding in his hand, "Did you finish?"

Before Rukawa could answer, Kaoru took the empty soda can in his hand and threw it into the garbage bag prepared in advance, the whole action was done in one go.

"Ah, thank you." Rukawa thanked belatedly. He didn't know whether it was because of this incident or because he didn't realize until now that it was Kaoru who handed him the drink and towel just now.

"Feng, have you ever met someone you couldn't defeat even with your best efforts?" Kaoru suddenly asked.

Although I don't understand why Kaoru would ask this out of the blue, Rukawa still answered her truthfully, "Yes." That person, he always wanted to defeat but never defeated...

Putting the game record aside, Kaoru looked up at Rukawa with a usual smile on his face, "Feng, don't you think this is very good? There is someone stronger than yourself in this world."

Seeing Rukawa looking at him puzzled, the smile on Kaoru's face widened a bit, "That way you can defeat him, then become stronger, until you become the strongest one."

Rukawa was about to say something, but Kuwahara shouted, "Look, Sanno has returned to the stadium!"

Everyone looked at the court, and the people of Shanwang had already stood on the court earlier. Their eyes were calm, but they did not waver in the slightest.

Coach Anxi signaled the main players to come over, and then gave the final guidance before the game, "Everyone did a good job in the first half, but I hope you forget about it. The game is only halfway through, if you want to drag the King of the Mountain from the throne Get down and start now is the real challenge. For the remaining 20 minutes, use your skills, strength and endurance on this court!"

"Yes!"

It wasn't until he stepped onto the court that Rukawa realized belatedly that Kaoru was encouraging him just now.

Looking back at Kaoru who was sitting in the contestant area, the eyes of the two met in an instant, and then Rukawa saw the most familiar bright smile, and his mood rose inexplicably.

When Rukawa was about to look away, a thought suddenly crossed his mind. He found that no matter when he looked at Kaoru, he always seemed to meet her eyes. Could it be a coincidence?Or rather, her eyes never left him...

This idea flashed by and was quickly rejected by Rukawa. It is impossible to think about it, it should be just a coincidence.

With the whistle of the referee, the second half of the game finally started!

Shanwang seemed to have a plan. Only ten seconds into the game, he overtook the score with Zebei's beautiful long-range three-pointer, which caught Xiangbei by surprise.

After the exchange of offense and defense, as soon as Miyagi received the ball, Fukatsu and Zebei were jointly defended like an iron wall. Not to mention passing the ball, Miyagi couldn't even move a step, and finally the ball was snatched by Zebei. Avoiding Mitsui's interception in the air, he once again scored 2 points for Sanwang with a one-handed hook shot.

"36-39", Kaoru knew that this was the full-court pressing defense that Sanno was good at. They surrounded the Xiangbei players in the Xiangbei side of the field. Are they planning to decide the winner in a short time?

Kaoru's prediction was not wrong, Sanno's supervisor Domoto was preparing to completely defeat Xiangbei in 3 minutes, and the game was proceeding according to his script.

Afterwards, Sanno scored consecutively, leading Shohoku by 2 points in the first 10 minutes of the second half. On the contrary, Shohoku hadn’t even scored a goal since the second half. No, to be exact, Shohoku didn’t even have a chance to attack!

Sanno Industry finally showed its sharp fangs and began to show the true strength of the king.

"36-50", facing the overwhelming Sanno Industry, coach Anxi called a timeout at the right time.

Looking at the tired crowd, Coach Anxi said, "If I were the coach of Sanwang, I would probably continue to use the zone to press the zone defense, keep opening the score, and then defeat Xiangbei in one go."

Everyone looked stern, and they knew in their hearts that what Coach Anxi said was right, but facing the current king of the mountain, they were helpless.

Coach Anzai took out the template and practiced the offensive formation, and said, "In short, the lineup remains unchanged. Mitsui and Rukawa, please move forward!"

Originally unable to pass the ball because of being trapped by the king of the mountain, coach Anxi actually transferred the player to the frontcourt. Everyone couldn't understand, "What should I do about the transfer work?!"

At this time, the time for the timeout also came. Coach Anzai stood up and patted Miyagi on the shoulder and said, "Then there is no need to ask? Of course, the special attack captain in Shonhoku is in charge."

Not to mention other people, even Miyagi himself was surprised by Coach Anzai's arrangement.

"Akagi, you are responsible for assisting Miyagi to pass the ball. If you see that Rukawa and the others have space in front, pass the ball immediately."

Just when Coach Anzai told Akagi, Ayako suddenly stopped Miyagi.

"Liangtian, hold out your hand."

Although Miyagi didn't know why, he still passed his hand to Ayako.

Without further ado, Caizi grabbed Miyagi's hand and wrote the words 'Chief Guard' on the palm of his hand. Miyagi was taken aback for a moment, then tightly clenched the hand that wrote the words, suddenly full of confidence .

Kaoru suddenly realized and nodded, and immediately walked up to Rukawa with a pen in his hand, and was about to speak excitedly, but Rukawa interrupted her...

"Don't even think about it." Did she think he didn't see Caizi and Miyagi's situation?

Kaoru's face collapsed in an instant, and she looked at Rukawa with resentment.

The two stalemate for a while, Rukawa sighed helplessly, and finally stretched out his hand, "Even if I don't write, I am number one in Japan."

At first Rukawa thought that Kaoru would write 'No. [-] in Japan', but unexpectedly she drew a strange figure on his palm, Rukawa couldn't help but frowned, "Why are you drawing a butt on my hand?"

"..." Hearing this, Xun almost vomited blood, "This is love!"

"Love? What is it?" Rukawa looked at the strange pattern in his palm in puzzlement. This thing was very familiar, as if it was also on many strange letters he received before. He always thought it was a butt, so he naturally classified those letters as provocative letter.

Kaoru blinked at Rukawa mysteriously, "This is a winning spell!"

Rukawa raised his eyebrows slightly, noncommittal.

The game resumed, and although Sanno led by 15 points, he still adopted a tight zone defense and did not give Shohoku a chance to breathe. However, Shohoku did not stand still. After Mitsui got the ball, he passed it directly to Akagi who came to support him. Akagi pretended to be long The pass deceived Zebei, and Zebei delayed the time for double defense because he jumped up to intercept the ball. Miyagi immediately took the opportunity to break through Fukatsu's defense!

"In terms of speed, I, Miyagi Ryota, are definitely the number one defender!" Facing Sanno 6's interception, Miyagi skillfully passed the ball from behind to Rukawa.

This was originally an excellent chance to score goals, but Sanno's center Kawada blocked the shots of Rukawa, Sakuragi, and Akagi consecutively, full of courage.

Stimulated by Kawada, Akagi gradually lost his composure. In the next few duels, Akagi was suppressed by Kawada and had no power to fight back. As a result, Xiangbei fell into an unprecedented crisis.

"36-56", 5 minutes into the second half, Xiangbei was led by Shanwang by 20 points, everyone present thought that the victory had already been won, and even the Xiangbei players had an idea in their minds, would they lose?

Coach Anxi used the last chance to call a timeout, but he didn't say much, because he knew that no matter what he said now they would not listen.

"Kugure, you can play instead of Sakuragi." This was the last instruction from Coach Anzai.

After the players got on the field, coach Anzai called Sakuragi to sit down, "Sakuragi, watch their game carefully."

Sakuragi was sulking alone, ignored him, and actually replaced him as a genius at such a time, and asked him to watch the game carefully. Could it be that he wanted him to use these eyes to see how they were defeated? !

"So I'm the only one who still believes that we will win..." Coach Anxi suddenly murmured.

When Xun heard this, he immediately raised his hand and said, "And me!"

Coach Anxi smiled and continued, "If you give up, the game will end early."

This sentence shocked Sakuragi quite a bit, so he followed what Coach Anzai said and paid close attention to the game on the field.

At this moment, the situation on the court is still unfavorable to Xiangbei. Facing the strict defense of Shanwang, Xiangbei's scoring rate has dropped significantly, and the rebounds are controlled by Shanwang. Once Xiangbei fails to shoot, not only will he lose the opportunity to attack, It also gave the mountain king a chance to counterattack.

"36-60", there are still 11 minutes before the end of the game, and Xiangbei is 24 points behind!

"Sakuragi, if you grab the rebound," Coach Anzai looked at Sakuragi and said, "Sanno can't start a fast break after grabbing the rebound, and at the same time, Xiangbei will get another chance to attack. Then we You lose 2 points and have a good chance of scoring 2 more. Sakuragi, you understand? If you get the rebound, we can score 4 points!"

"!!" Coach Anxi's words were like enlightenment, and Sakuragi immediately understood what he should do.

"If you can do it, you will be our ultimate move to turn defeat into victory." Coach Anxi held Sakuragi's hand tightly.

The other team members present also rushed forward to shake hands with Sakuragi, "We will give you our thoughts! Everything is up to you, Sakuragi!"

"It's really..." Sakuragi was a little embarrassed to be entrusted by others for the first time in his life, so he pretended to be disdainful and said, "The things you mortals think are so strange!"

"I'll pass on my thoughts to you as well." Kaoru took out a little man made of straw from his pocket, and nailed it with a nail.

"Xun, you are a curse!" Sakuragi's head was full of black lines.

"Hey, isn't it praying? I see people doing this on TV, and the effect seems to be very good." In the eyes of someone, the villain is the protagonist...

"..." Everyone was speechless.

In the last 10 minutes, coach Anxi really let Sakuragi play.

As soon as Sakuragi stepped onto the court, he strode towards the media seats beside him, jumped onto the table, and announced loudly to the audience, "I want to defeat the king of the mountain! By genius Sakuragi!"

At this moment, Sakuragi was not at a loss, he only had one idea in his mind, that is to reverse the situation of the game and defeat the king of the mountain!

Unlike other people's astonishment, Kaoru suddenly laughed, she had to admit that she admired Sakuragi Hanamichi's character, this person is really not simple.

Sakuragi, who was full of hope in Xiangbei, stepped onto the court again, and the real victory began from this moment!

Although he made bold words, Sakuragi knew very well that so far, he has not grabbed half a rebound from the wild side, but if he can't grab a rebound, he will not be able to turn defeat into victory. It seems that there is only one fight up.

While Sakuragi was still thinking about how to deal with Nobe, Rukawa had already shot a goal. Seeing that the goal would not be scored, Zebei was ready to counterattack. Inadvertently pulled the corner of the field side's clothes, and then snatched the ball before the field side had time to react, jumped up and shot again.

"38-60", Xiangbei scored for the first time in the second half. Although it was only 2 points, it was very precious, because this goal made the players in Xiangbei believe that the advantage will return to them again!

After a successful plan, Sakuragi's battle did not end there. Facing Nobe who kept him out, Sakuragi once again resorted to tricks, but this time Nobe was already alert.

"How could it be possible for you to succeed again!" Nobe pulled his clothes forward to prevent Sakuragi from pulling them.

At this moment, Sakuragi successfully got stuck, "It was a fake move just now, hehe!"

"what?!"

Sakuragi jumped up and nudged Miyagi's missed shot into the hoop for a surprise two-pointer for Shohoku.

Contrary to the brave Sakuragi, Akagi, who is the soul of the team, is still mired in the quagmire, and his performance is very abnormal. It was not until Uozumi came forward to wake up that Akagi woke up.

Akagi always thought that if he couldn't beat Kawada, Shohoku couldn't win, but that's not the case. Even if he can't, there are others, as long as he can show the talents of other players.At this stage, he may not be able to match Kawada, but Xiangbei will not lose!

"Okay! Come on!" After figuring it out, Akagi swept away the previous gloom and regained his true colors as a gorilla. Later, he joined forces with Sakuragi to block Sanno's goal, creating an opportunity for Xiangbei to counterattack.

However, it wasn't just Akagi who burned in desperation, there was another person...

"Kawada is Kawada, and Akagi is Akagi, so who am I?" Mitsui, who was already exhausted, suddenly spoke to Matsumoto who was defending him, "Who am I, tell me!"

Matsumoto didn't know why, and only thought Mitsui was tired and confused.

At this time, after Akagi got the ball, he didn't think about fighting Kawada as before, but gave Mitsui a wink, signaling him to make up for it.

Mitsui received the pass as soon as he ran beyond the three-point line. At this moment, Mitsui smiled, "I am Mitsui, a person who never gives up..."

Even though he was tired and groggy, Mitsui still shot a ball beautifully with the instinct of his body...

"43-60", the ball is scored!

But after that, Shenjin quickly responded with a three-pointer, which opened the close score again.

"Damn it!" Miyagi was annoyed.

"Miyagi..."

Mitsui's panting voice suddenly came from behind him, and Miyagi looked back, only to see Mitsui looking at him, but his eyes seemed a little loose, "Use me!"

"What?!" Of course Miyagi saw that Mitsui had reached his limit.

"Chi, Akagi will block the opponent for me. Then I will have an open shot. I must seize the opportunity!" He is now dizzy, and he can no longer stop the No. 6, and he has no strength to get rid of him Now, he can't do anything but shoot three-pointers now, but even then, he can't go down, absolutely not!

"..." Looking at Mitsui's unsteady figure, Miyagi couldn't say a word of rejection.

As Mitsui said, Akagi really blocked No. 6 who was staring at him for him, Mitsui hurried to the outside, Miyagi immediately passed the ball to him, Mitsui shot it without hesitation after receiving the ball, at this moment All he could see was the basket...

Concentrating the offense on the periphery is a very risky move, because such a tactic is too monotonous and will make the defense much easier, and no matter how powerful the three-point shooter is, the success rate is only half, so few teams do this. Do it, but Xiangbei did it without hesitation, not only because they trusted Mitsui, but also because they believed that Akagi and Sakuragi would definitely grab the rebound!

It is precisely because of this trust that the situation on the field has undergone tremendous changes, and Xiangbei has begun to regain control of the rhythm of the game.

"53-63", in the 12th minute of the second half, the difference between the two teams was finally shortened to 10 points!

"Hey, why don't you come to attack?" Zebei suddenly asked Rukawa when he was changing defenses.

Rukawa glanced at him, refusing to show weakness, "I should be the one to say this."

"You are definitely not such a quiet person. Could it be that you are worried about not having enough physical strength?" Zebei's eyes were full of provocation, "How could a fledgling first-year ace like you be able to deal with me?!"

"I'm going to beat you!" Zebei's arrogance obviously annoyed Rukawa.

"I accept your challenge!" Although Zebei said so, he didn't take Rukawa seriously.

At this time, Rukawa caught a glimpse of Sakuragi rushing to the basket with the ball. In view of Sakuragi's poor scoring rate, Rukawa rushed to make up for it.

Sure enough, Sakuragi didn't score. Fortunately, Rukawa was prepared and refilled the popped ball into the basket at the right time.

"55-63", the difference between the two teams is only 8 points now!

"It will be very troublesome if those two first-year students show confidence!" Fukatsu was keenly aware of the changes in the situation on the field, and said to Zebei and Kawada, "It's up to you whether you can suppress those two people. Both."

"Just repay him in the same way!" Zebei's fighting spirit was ignited, "Repay three times!"

Kawata and Fukatsu briefly made eye contact...

Kawata: It seems that his self-esteem has been damaged.

Fukatsu: That's because the slam dunk just now was shot by the opponent's first-year ace.

"Senior Shenjin, please pass the ball to me!" At this moment, Zebei's eyes shone with confidence.

After the exchange of offense and defense, Sakuragi quickly slapped the ball away from Mikio, who was playing again. After Rukawa got the ball, he immediately seized the opportunity to make a fast break.

The other Sanno players wanted to step forward to intercept, but they were stopped by Zebei raising his hand. When Rukawa jumped up to shoot the blue, Zebei also jumped up behind him and blocked the ball in Rukawa's hand.

Taking advantage of Rukawa's shock, Zebei quickly launched a counterattack after landing, and single-handedly bypassed the defense of the other four people in Xiangbei, and used the stunt of high-altitude throwing, which instantly made the audience burst into cheers and once again separated the two teams. The point difference widened to 10 points.

"..." Xun knew very well that Zebei was serious, so what will Feng do next?
