[Slam Dunk] Undefended heart

The hotel where the Kanagawa representative team stayed is near the forest park. Kaoru participated in a tennis match here during his junior high school days, so he is no stranger to this place.

In addition to the tennis courts, there are several basketball courts in the forest park. Most of the nearby sports enthusiasts like to come here. In addition, some competitions are often held here. It is a lively and energetic place.

Early in the morning, when Kaoru was jogging along the gravel road in the park, the sound of the ball on the basketball court not far away was uninterrupted, especially clear in this quiet morning.

After a few laps, Xun couldn't help being curious about the players, until the end of the morning run, the sound of the ball still didn't stop, so Xun decided to go and see what happened.

Although I haven't seen him yet, just by the smooth and rhythmic dribbling sound, Kaoru is sure that this person is quite capable. Could it be a nearby resident?Or the players who come to participate in the national sports?Kaoru couldn't help guessing the other party's identity while walking.

It wasn't until she saw the figure of that person clearly that the mystery in Xun's heart was finally solved. It turned out that the master she thought was Feng!

How could Feng get up so early?Although he had doubts in his heart, he saw that Rukawa was concentrating on doing the basic exercises, so Kaoru didn't make a sound to disturb him, but stood quietly and looked at him.

The similar scene reminded Xun of the scene ten years ago, when she was also looking at him from the sidelines, and he was doing boring and monotonous exercises over and over again like now...

Even she probably didn't expect that they would meet again in ten years... Thinking of this, Kaoru couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Just then, the ball rolled down to her feet, and Rukawa finally noticed her.

Ignoring the message of "reappeared again" in Rukawa's eyes, Kaoru bent down and picked up the ball, and greeted Rukawa with a bright smile, "Good morning, Kaede!"

"Morning." Rukawa wanted to know if Kaoru put something strange on him, otherwise he would see her everywhere, of course, it doesn't mean that he hates her...

While dribbling the ball to the basket in a decent manner, Kaoru explained to herself, "Okay, now the ball is passed to KING, and I saw her use an exquisite feint to evade the desperate defense of the opponent's ace player. Then came to the basket and jumped up and shot the ball gracefully, what a..."

boom!

The ball hit the hoop and missed.

"Oh, misstep, misstep!" Although Kaoru didn't score a goal, Kaoru stuck out her tongue with a smile.

"..." Rukawa Heixian, what is the purpose of her making so many foreshadowings and using so many powerful adjectives? Is it to inherit the mantle of Yingmu Huadao...

Just when Rukawa was complaining in her heart, she saw Kaoru suddenly dribbled the ball back a few steps, and assumed a shooting posture again. This time, there was no longer half a smile on her face, and her expression was rare and serious... …

The ball was drawn from her white and slender fingertips, and shot into the basket with a beautiful and almost perfect arc, not bad at all.

"It seems that I haven't touched it for a while, I'm really unfamiliar..."

Xun muttered something, turned around and saw Rukawa looking at him in surprise, and immediately revealed his true colors, "Feng, did you suddenly fall in love with me? Hehe!"

Rukawa heard the words, and the small ups and downs in his heart were instantly smoothed away, "Idiot, don't talk about love lightly."

"Ah?!" Xun now felt that she had been wronged, why was she so frivolous?If she was frivolous, would he still be innocent? !

"Where am I being frivolous?" Kaoru entangled Rukawa nonstop, this has something to do with her image in Feng's heart, so don't be careless!

Rukawa looked at Kaoru with an aggrieved face beside him, then remembered her character that was familiar to everyone, and said with some anger, "Everything." After speaking, Rukawa took the ball and walked out of the court.

Kaoru caught up with Rukawa in front and protested, "Then Feng, do you know what love is?"

like?Rukawa paused, then looked sideways at Kaoru, and said proudly, "Of course, I knew it when I was in kindergarten."

"Feng..." Xun's heart immediately rose to his throat. Could it be that Feng fell in love with 'her' when he was a child, but he didn't know that 'she' was her? !Aww~~ This is too romantic!

Rukawa looked at Kaoru with wide eyes and expectant expression in some bewilderment, then pointed to the ball in his hand, and said, "Basketball."

As soon as Rukawa finished speaking, Kaoru's expression immediately collapsed, "Maple, it's not this kind of love!" If there is a table, and Kaoru wants to flip the table, she knows it's not romance, bastard!God, do you dare to give some dog blood? !

"Is there a difference?" Rukawa looked at Kaoru puzzled.

Kaoru and Rukawa looked at each other for a while, and finally lost the battle, "Forget it, maybe you will understand after a while."

It's not impossible for her to impose her own ideas on Feng, but does it make sense?She was like a gardener waiting for the most beautiful flower to bloom, since she had waited patiently for so long, why was she in a hurry, they had a long way to go, didn't they?

Thinking of this, Xun couldn't help admiring herself, if she didn't succeed like her, it would be unreasonable!

Although he didn't understand what Kaoru meant, but looking at someone with an unusually rich expression in front of him, Rukawa suddenly felt that she was very cute...Of course, he would not tell her this.

So, the two people with their own thoughts walked back to the hotel in peace all the way.

The match between Kanagawa and Osaka was scheduled after Group A. The Aichi team defeated the Tokyo team without any suspense. Other teams that performed well in the summer college league also advanced without exception.

The first match of Group B started at 2:1 pm, and now it was 50:[-] pm, and the big screen was displaying the list of players from both sides.

The starting players in Osaka are all from Daiei Academy. It was these five players who defeated Hainan in the summer competition and won the championship.

On the other hand, Shonhoku's starting lineup is Mushenichi, Shinmune Ichiro, Akagi Takenori, Fukuda Kichijo and Rukawa Kaede.

"Daei is a strong team with both offense and defense, and it is also the champion team of the summer competition. Tsuchiya's offensive is basically initiated by Tsuchiya. The task of guarding against Tsuchiya is left to Mu. For an impregnable defense, in addition to Akagi fighting Takahashi at the basket, you also need to rely on the offensive ability of the three of you, Fukuda and Rukawa, so try your best at the beginning of the game." Coach Anzai gave the final guidance before the game.

"Yes!"

"National Athletic Conference High School Basketball Tournament, the Kanagawa team vs. Osaka team has officially started!"

The one who competed with Akagi for the jump ball first was Nobuhiro Takahashi, known as the giant of Osaka. Takahashi is 200cm tall and has an even stronger body. His movements are quite flexible, and he is a rare good center. It is because of his activeness that Dayong's basket is called an impregnable fortress.

With the sound of the whistle, Akagi and Takahashi jumped up at the same time. The two were evenly matched, but Takahashi was slightly better in strength.Under the confrontation between the two, the ball bounced into the no-man's land. No, after Tsuchiya rushed there beforehand, it was no longer a no-man's land!

As soon as Tsuchiya got the ball, Mu, who had been staring closely at him, surrounded him with an imposing manner, and Rukawa, who was keenly aware of Tsuchiya's movements, also rushed over together. Mu and Rukawa's joint defense immediately raised the atmosphere of the game. up.

Facing the two masters at the same time, even Tsuchiya, who always had a confident smile, was not so relaxed. Let alone passing the ball, it seemed difficult for Tsuchiya to even move a single step.

At the moment of lightning and flint, a figure suddenly swayed behind Tsuchiya, "Chun!"

The person who came was Daiei's shooting guard Kujo Michizane. Unlike his inconspicuous appearance, Kujo has excellent short-range and long-range shooting capabilities and is an indispensable figure for Daiei.

Tsuchiya understood immediately, and passed the ball back without hesitation without looking back, which showed the tacit understanding between the two.

After Kujo got the ball, he went straight to Kanagawa's basket, easily passed Fukuda's defense, and deceived God with a fake move, and got up directly outside the three-point line and shot long.

"0-3", at the start of the race, Dai Rong scored first!

Facing the momentum of the Osaka representative team, the Kanagawa players, not to be outdone, launched a series of strong attacks, but even with super offensive forces like Fukuda and Rukawa, they still could not destroy the strong fortress under the Osaka basket. Relying on God to score three-pointers from the outside, Kanagawa gained little from Osaka's basket.On the contrary, under Tsuchiya's ingenious organization, Osaka launched frequent offensives, and the score between the two teams was gradually drawn apart.

After Akagi at the basket was stared to death by Takahashi, and God on the periphery was defended by two people, Kanagawa was completely in trouble...

"18-28", in the 10th minute after the start of the game, the point difference between the two teams finally exceeded ten digits.

At this time, Coach Anxi finally couldn't sit still.

"The Kanagawa team requested substitutions. No. 10 Toru Hanagata replaced No. 5 Takenori Akagi, and No. 14 Mitsui Kotoshi replaced No. 13 Fukuda Yoshio! The game continues!"

"Is Kanagawa ready to give up? How can I replace you with a thin center like you?" From Takahashi's point of view, the No. 5 just now is obviously stronger than the guy with glasses in front of him.

Hanakata just pushed his glasses, didn't take Takahashi's words, and was not shaken by it. He really didn't have Akagi's strength, and he didn't feel as oppressive under the basket as Akagi, but he had something that Akagi didn't have.

"Flower shape!" Mu passed the ball to the flower shape under the basket. He believed that coach Anxi must have his own intentions when he replaced the flower shape.

As soon as Hanakata received the ball, Takahashi clung to him. It felt like there was a huge wall behind Hanakata, and he couldn't shake it at all!Is this the pressure Akagi is under?but……

Just when Takahashi thought that Hanakata would confront him head-on like Akagi did before, Hanakata suddenly backed away quickly, turned around and raised his hand to shoot.

So childish!Takahashi jumped up and was about to block the shot, but Hua-shaped figure suddenly leaned back...

"!!" This is a fadeaway jumper!

When Takahashi reacted, he could only watch the ball pass high above his head, and then fell into the basket with precision.

"20-28", the point difference was shortened to single digits again.

First-class shooting skills and defensive ability, calm and courageous flexible center, this is Hua Xingtou!

"Don't worry, just score another goal!" Although Tsuchiya said so, how could he not know that Kanagawa's new center forward is quite difficult?This is not the type that Takahashi-senpai is good at dealing with. It seems that we must strengthen our offense to completely open the score...

As soon as Tsuchiya was distracted, the ball was immediately snatched by Mu, who had been watching him closely.

"Back to defense!"

As expected of a team known for its top-notch defense, Dayei got back on defense in just a few seconds.

Looking at the closely guarded Kami, Mu passed the ball to Mitsui on the other side.

'Let them know that there is more than one marksman in Kanagawa! '

At this moment, what Coach Anzai said to him before playing echoed in Mitsui's ears. He successfully got rid of the opponent's defense, and Mitsui immediately retreated outside the three-point line and jumped to shoot.

That's exactly what he meant!

All college scouts across the country are watching!Then remember his name, he is Mitsui Shou!

As soon as the ball was shot, Mitsui clenched his right fist tightly, with a confident smile on his face.

"23-28", Kanagawa scored again!

With Kanagawa's counterattack, another person's fighting spirit was also ignited...

There are still 5 points left... Rukawa glanced at the scoreboard, then exhaled lightly, and when he raised his eyes again, his eyes were extremely firm.

Mu, who also felt his scorching gaze, couldn't help but laugh a little. With such a strong passing idea, it seems that Miyagi was not easy before!

I wanted to think about it, but Mu, who knew Rukawa's strength well, still passed the ball to him.

As soon as Rukawa got the ball, he used a short pause of the dribble to easily sway past No. 7 who was defending him, and quickly attacked Osaka's basket.

"Let me do it!" Because he blocked Rukawa's attacks several times before, Takahashi didn't pay attention to this fledgling first-year boy.

When Rukawa jumped up, Takahashi also jumped up, and the two came to midair at the same time, but Rukawa didn't make a move for a long time.

Why doesn't this kid shoot the basket?How long does he want to stay in the air? !After Takahashi went down, Rukawa made a nice high-flying lob to the basket.

This trick of shooting the basket in the air is Zebei's unique move, and Rukawa has completely mastered it at this moment. At this moment, everyone present dare not underestimate this freshman named Rukawa Kaede anymore!

But Kanagawa's offense did not end there, the two sides launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle at the basket.

"56-51", at the end of the first half, Kanagawa led by 5 points.

After a short break, the game resumed.

In the second half, Osaka's player lineup was adjusted. The appearance of Nanlie and Kishimoto immediately strengthened Osaka's offensive ability. Coupled with Daiei's original defensive strength, the Osaka team at this moment is almost a perfect team.

Not long after the start of the second half, the game entered a heated state, and the audience gradually quieted down. No one wanted to miss any wonderful moment.

"63-63", the two teams drew again.

At this moment, there was one person with a cynical smile on his face all the time, and he was Osaka's ace player, Tsuchiya Jun.

Because of the activeness of Nanlie and Kishimoto, the pressure on the offense was relieved a lot, and Tsuchiya was finally able to unload the burden and give it a go.

Because they have fought against each other before, Mu has never underestimated Tsuchiya's strength, nor dared to relax in the slightest, but Tsuchiya still broke the ball.

Tsuchiya came to Kanagawa's half court, and Rukawa was already waiting there, and the two confronted each other for the first time on the court.

Shrewd eyes, annoying smile, Rukawa always feels that the person in front of him looks like a person...

The confrontation between masters is often only for a moment. When Tsuchiya tried to force a breakthrough, Rukawa noticed that his eyes drifted to the right, and No. 5 standing there at the moment was unguarded!

Fake action?pass?

The moment Rukawa hesitated, Tsuchiya got rid of his defense and jumped directly to shoot the basket.

Who did he think of...

Fairy way!

"63-65", Osaka leads.

"There's still plenty of time, let's score more goals!" Tsuchiya dribbled the ball with a relaxed tone.

"Damn..." Rukawa suddenly lowered his eyes.

Driven by Tsuchiya, Osaka gained the advantage again.

In the rest area of ​​Kanagawa, Coach Anzai made a decision that all the audience couldn't understand...

"Xiandao."

Xiandao looked at Coach Anxi suspiciously, not knowing what was going on.

"Go warm up, it's your turn to play."

Coach Anxi, who has always had a bold style, replaced the nationally famous player Mu Shenyi with an unknown newcomer who had never participated in a national competition.

Before Xiandao came out, Kaoru couldn't help calling him, "Chang, come on!"

Xiandao replied with his usual smile, that smile was full of confidence, "Yeah."

Looking at Xiandao on the field, Kaoru knew Coach Anzai's intentions. If it was her, she would probably do the same, because no one in the field would be better suited to deal with Tsuchiya than Xiandao. They are so similar...

"Don't worry, everyone, take your time!" Xiandao suppressed the rhythm of the game as soon as he entered the field. He knew very well that the more critical the moment, the less likely he would be to be disrupted by the opponent.

While adjusting the rhythm, Xiandao used his broad vision to look around and look for opportunities to attack.

"I don't seem to have heard of you." Tsuchiya rarely chatted with someone.

"Hehe, I heard our family Yanyi mentioned you, and he praised you very much." Xiandao smiled gently.

Hikoichi?But Tsuchiya didn't have time to think about it, because Xiandao had already launched a strong attack.

Tsuchiya keenly noticed that Xiandao's eyes wandered to the unguarded Rukawa, and was about to turn sideways, when he suddenly remembered that he used this trick to get rid of Rukawa's defense before!

Good boy, I was waiting for him here!But he won't be fooled!

Tsuchiya believed that Xiandao would break through on his own, but unexpectedly, Xiandao was passed on to Rukawa who had been waiting for a long time.

"67-70", Rukawa scored successfully.

When returning to defense, Xiandao smiled and asked Rukawa beside him, "Do you know I can pass the ball?"

Rukawa squinted at him, and said, "Do you think I knew about your bad taste on the first day?"

In the rest area, Kaoru stroked his chin and suddenly laughed. This... seems like a good combination!

……

"88-85", the Kanagawa team finally defeated the Osaka team and successfully advanced.

In this battle, Xian Daozhang's name became known to everyone.
