Slam Dunk, Start with a Perfect Three-Pointer

Time flies, it is already a few days later.

Shohoku Basketball Gym.

Coach Anzai, who usually seldom shows up, came to the basketball hall.

Captain Akagi hurried up to meet him.

"What's the matter, Coach?"

Coach Anzai showed a grin.

"You let everyone gather, I want to say something."

Akagi nodded and roared.

"gather!"

With the voice of Akagi.

Everyone in Shohoku lined up in front of Coach Anzai.

"Okay, your performance in the previous game was very good."

Coach Anzai recognized the efforts of the Shohoku crowd.

"However, the next step is the most critical test!"

"In the next games, we will not meet teams like Miuradai and Kadono."

Akagi added.

Coach Anzai announced softly.

"The moment of decisive victory has begun."

Akagi stood beside Coach Anzai and said in a deep voice.

"This year's promotion team from Kanagawa County, Kainan, Ryonan, Buri and Shohoku, except for our Shohoku, are all old strong teams in Kanagawa County."

"Kanagawa County has only two places to participate in the national competition, that is, the top two, so in the next three games, none of them can relax!"

Ayako on the side added.

Everyone in Shohoku looked a little dignified.

They were able to reach the semi-finals in Kanagawa County from the first round of the county competition.

It is already an incredible thing.

And every opponent that will be faced next is not an opponent that can be easily won.

Akagi continued.

"Our goal at Shohoku for this year is!"

Shohoku shouted in unison.

"Dominate the country!"

Coach Anzai nodded in satisfaction.

Now Shohoku's competitive state has reached its peak.

To defeat Miuradai, Lianke Shoyo is too important to Shohoku's momentum.

"I have one more request." Coach Anzai of "260" said softly.

"Although the top two can participate in the National High School League, but I ask you, be sure to beat all their teams and come out with the first place."

The voice fell.

Everyone was excited, and finally reached the final decisive victory.

Sakuragi Hanamichi is proud.

"Looks like it's time for this genius to perform again.

This time, Miyagi and Mitsui did not joke.

Sakuragi Hanamichi has seen progress during this time.

A novice who couldn't even hold the ball steadily from the very beginning.

By now, Sakuragi has become a key rotation player inside Shohoku.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the current Sakuragi is the best sixth man in Shohoku.

It wasn't hard to see a little excitement on Kaede Rukawa's grim face.

Is it finally here?

He is one step closer to being the number one high school student in the country.

Although the current Tatsuhiko is far stronger than himself.

But one day I will surpass him!

Yasuda and the others were even more excited.

"I didn't expect that we could even make it to the finals!"

Tatsuhiko smiled, said nothing, thinking in his heart.

It's finally here, how many popularity points will I get this time?

He was looking forward to it.

In the game of Shoyo, he got 100 expectation points.

If this stage is in the whole country.

Will the expected value obtained be higher?

While everyone was discussing,

Kogure took out his notebook.

"Our opponent for the first game has also come out, and it is Kainan's big subsidiary.

"In the match between Kainan and Wuyuan, the main players basically didn't play, and they won with a score of 150:78."

"At that time, Amu and the others may play in the decisive battle, and the game will be more difficult than the match with Shoyo."

Kogure's words were like a basin of cold water.

It directly extinguished the enthusiasm of everyone.

Most of Shohoku's players are first-year and second-year students.

They are far from knowing how powerful Kainan is.

Everyone was silent for a while.

His face was full of shock.

Wuyuan is also a top eight team.

Kainan's main force is not up.

How strong are their true strengths?

Kogure went on to add.

"Kainan's national semi-final team has participated in the national competition record for 16 consecutive years."

"This is an old strong team in the country, can we really win them?"

The corners of Kakuta and the others' mouths twitched, their eyes extinguished.

Compared to Shohoku, Kainan's background is like heaven and earth.

They only now have a deep understanding of Kainan's strength.

For the 16th consecutive year, he qualified first in Kanagawa Prefecture.

National competition last year.

Meet Sannoh High if not in the Final Four.

I'm afraid their grades will be even better.

Sakuragi Hanamichi laughed.

"There's nothing to be afraid of at all. Only then will I take you to win the game!"

Coach Anzai looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi with a smile and nodded secretly.

"That's right, you need to have this kind of energy."

"If you think you are not an opponent before the game, then I am afraid that the performance in the game will only be worse.

Not to mention, in the eyes of Coach Anzai.

The current Shohoku is not inferior to Kainan at all.

Their game against Kainan was within a few points.

Coach Anzai looked at Tatsuhiko who was silent all the time.

Tatsuhiko was the winner of the match between Shohoku and Kainan.

He played at full strength, even Kainan was completely unstoppable.

Noticed Coach Anzai's gaze.

Tatsuhiko nodded.

He looked around at Yasuda and the others, and spoke calmly.

"Last year, Kainan was only the top four in the country. If you are afraid of this, then how can you talk about dominating the country? Besides, you are also very strong now, aren't you?"

immediately.

Everyone recalled the in-team training match a few days ago, even if they were substitutes, they were still quite a threat.

Only then did his fighting spirit improve a lot.

Akagi scolded.

"For the rest of the time, training must be strengthened.

Kogure looked at Akagi, worried.

"Will your foot heal by then?"

Akagi smiles.

"How could you miss the game."

"Captain Akagi, you must not cause any problems with your ankles because of the game, otherwise it will affect your future basketball career."

Ayako on the side said worriedly.

During the last game against Shoyo.

Captain Akagi's ankle was wrapped in seven or eight layers of bandages.

Ayako, who was bandaged at that time, couldn't stand it any longer.

But even the injury has been such a serious situation.

Captain Akagi still has to play.

Ayako is really worried about Captain Akagi now.

Because of impulsiveness, it caused some regrettable injuries for life.

"Don't worry at all, Biyu will definitely recover before.

Akagi waved his hand, signaling Ayako not to worry about himself.

Then, he turned to look at the Shohoku crowd.

Akagi's expression was a little nostalgic, a little grateful.

He thought of the hard work he had put in over the past two years.

Akagi also thought about giving up.

Efforts have been made but the results cannot be seen.

It is difficult for anyone to persist like this.

But this year is finally different.

Akagi finally got good teammates, Tatsuhiko and Kaede Rukawa.

Miyagi and Mitsui also changed their previous habit of being a gangster.

Start preparing for the game in earnest.

"This year is the most promising year!"

Akagi said secretly in his heart.

No one is more sure than him.

This year's Shohoku.

Must be able to dominate the country!

time flies.

Unknowingly, more than twenty days passed.

Everyone improved quickly, especially Kaede Rukawa and Mitsui, who felt the trouble caused by the lack of physical strength during the game.

Feeling much better now.

Tatsuhiko sat alone on the chair.

Look at his panel.

Look at the skills in the skill list.

Tatsuhiko couldn't help sighing.

The current self, even if he meets a gentleman.

Also totally capable of fighting!

He is now very much looking forward to the match against Kainan.

on the pitch.

Everyone in Shohoku is sweating profusely in training.

Mitsui and Kogure kept working on their 3-point shots.

And Miyagi also joined in and started shooting.

previous games.

Miyagi clearly felt it.

Due to his lack of three points.

As a result, he is in a state of being released every game.

And even if he can break through to the inside line.

It is also difficult to score points in the tall and big inside.

I also have to practice a precise three-pointer.

Mitsui, on the other hand, is constantly training his defensive and breakthrough skills.

Two years of waste.

His breakthrough ability has been somewhat degraded.

Only the three-pointer is still accurate.

But in the match against Shoyo.

Just having a precise three-pointer is not enough.

Once faced with close defense.

He has absolutely no way of getting out of the defense.

the other side.

Kaede Rukawa is constantly training his physical fitness.

Whether it is offense or defense.

Kaede Rukawa can be said to be flawless.

But his biggest problem is that he is not physically strong enough.

In the match against Shoyo.

After the outbreak, Kaede Rukawa even suffered from leg cramps.

Fortunately, Tatsuhiko stabilized the situation in the end.

Steadily maintain the score to 15 points.

Sakuragi was constantly fighting Tatsuhiko one-on-one.

as a beginner.

He has so much to learn.

But you can't chew too much.

If you learn too much, you may not be able to learn all of them well.

And the game is coming soon.

Many skills may not necessarily be displayed in the game.

Coach Anzai thought twice.

Still decided to target Sakuragi's defensive boost.

Shohoku has enough scorers for now.

Starting Tatsuhiko, Kaede Rukawa and Mitsui..…………

They are all scorers who can shoot suddenly.

That is because the team has too many scorers.

As a result, Akagi's ball rights are constantly being diluted.

What Shohoku needs now is an isolation defender, not a scorer.

Akagi clapped his hands and let out a lion-like roar.

"gather!"

Everyone in Shohoku lined up immediately.

"Tomorrow our opponent is the sea

South, their defensive ability is very strong, the key point is to pay attention to Shinichi Maki, tomorrow's game Miyagi you are responsible for defending Shinichi Maki.

"yes!"

Miyagi nodded.

Akagi looked to Tatsuhiko aside again.

"At that time, Tatsuhiko will be responsible for assisting defense. If the situation is wrong, Shinichi Maki will be double-teamed. This game must be won! Set off early tomorrow morning for the final!"

Everyone shouted.

"Shohoku must win!"

June 20th.

Everyone went to the basketball court.

Everyone showed up on time.

Coach Anzai had a smile on his face.

"Set off!"

"yes!"

Everyone in Shohoku shouted in unison, then boarded the car and headed to the prefectural gymnasium.

in the car.

Tatsuhiko lay on the back chair and closed his eyes to meditate.

It's his favorite way to adjust.

Closing his eyes before the game allows him to enter the rhythm of the game as quickly as possible during the game.

And on the other side.

Miyagi and Mitsui were a little nervous.

The two remained silent and looked out the window.

Although this is not Shohoku's first prefectural competition.

But I have to say.

Kainan is definitely the strongest team they have ever faced.

Undefeated for sixteen consecutive years, King Kainan.

The national competition can reach the semi-finals every year.

Just listening to these already makes people feel a little invincible.

And the number one high school student in Kanagawa Prefecture, Shinichi Maki.

His strength is even more unfathomable.

Akagi sighed inaudibly.

He also doesn't know what the match against Kainan will be like.

Akagi also has no information to win this game.

Although they have passed the Shoyo hurdle.

But Shoyo and Kainan are two very different teams.

Kainan is the true king team in Kanagawa Prefecture.

Kogure next to Akagi was also a little nervous.

Although during this period of assault training, his three-point and shooting ability has been greatly improved.

Compared with before, the defense has also made great progress.

But what is the result of the actual game.

It is still unknown.

Ayako on the side comforted everyone in Shohoku.

"Don't have so much psychological pressure, just show our best.

Coach Anzai also nodded in agreement.

Although the result of the game is very important.

But the pressure on Shohoku players if too much.

That's probably not a good thing.

at the same time.

Haruko and girlfriends.

Several people from Sakuragi's Gang also headed towards the county gymnasium.

County Gymnasium.

No seat available.

Everyone's face is full of excitement.

It's unknown which two teams will make it to the Nationals this year.

Kanagawa reporter, Aida Yayoi and assistant Nakamura came to the scene.

see.

She couldn't help but sigh.

"The game has not yet started, so many people have come, it can be seen that both teams have attracted 0.7 bets.

"Nakamura, do you know anything about Kainan?"

Then discuss the Kainan Grand Subsidiary with Nakamura.

Nakamura smiled awkwardly.

"I don't know Kainan very well.

Aida Yayoi frowned slightly, and sternly scolded.

"You didn't know the situation in advance, how are you a reporter!"

"I'm sorry, Miss Yayoi, I also want to understand, but time is running out, why don't you explain it to me."

Nakamura scratched the back of his head with his hand and apologized hastily.

Then Aida Yayoi sighed helplessly and began to explain.

"The Kainan University Subsidiary is the strongest team in Kanagawa Prefecture, and has entered the national competition for 16 consecutive years."

Nakamura's eyes widened in disbelief.

"It's so strong?"

Aida Yayoi continued to explain.

"Shoyo, as Kainan's old opponent, was eliminated by Shohoku this year. Perhaps Kainan is expected to enter the national competition in 17 years.

"It feels like Kainan won't lose at all. Their strength is much stronger than Shohoku."

Nakamura said softly.

"That's not the case."

Aida Yayoi shook her head.

"This year's Shohoku is not weak at all. They not only have Kanagawa's rookie king, Tatsuhiko, but also two-year junior high school mvp players, Main Well and Kaede Rukawa."

Nakamura nodded, without words.

In terms of reporter knowledge.

He is really lacking.

"Shohoku faced Kainan, maybe there will be no unilateral suppression."

"But I believe Sendoh will definitely lead Ryonan to the game."

Then Aida Yayoi blushed pretty, and said in an affirmative tone.

The assistant Nakamura looked at the inexplicable Aida Yayoi, the corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and began to complain.

"Miss Yayoi is really a big fan of Sendoh."

Then ignore Aida Yayoi, who is wandering in the air, and slowly turn on the camera.

Feel the atmosphere inside the gym. .
