Slam Dunk, Start with a Perfect Three-Pointer

"That's Shohoku's players, they all look strong!"

"King Kainan is finally here, teach Shohoku a lesson! Amu! Let them know that high school basketball is not a place where you can win championships by luck!"

"Kainan's momentum is really strong, it seems that they are bound to win this game."

"Shohoku will definitely not win against Kainan, who has been the champion of Kanagawa Prefecture for 16 consecutive years!"

"That's not necessarily the case, even Kainan's old rival Shoyo lost to Shohoku."

"Go Tatsuhiko! Go Shohoku!"

The audience outside began to cheer continuously.

Waited for a long time.

The game is finally about to start.

"Only love Tatsuhiko!"

"Only love Tatsuhiko!"

"Rukawa Rukawa you are the most handsome!"

Tatsuhiko and Kaede Rukawa Cheerleaders keep cheering for Tatsuhiko and Kaede Rukawa.

All girls in short skirts became a beautiful sight in the auditorium.

But the surrounding audience just glanced at it.

Then he focused his attention on the court again.

The battle between Shohoku and Kainan is finally about to begin.

Before the game.

Some good netizens posted a horizontal comparison between Shohoku and Kainan.

Continuously analyze Shohoku's strength from various positions.

Except at the small forward and power forward positions.

Tatsuhiko is far ahead of Kiyota Nobunaga, and Kaede Rukawa is far ahead of Tadashi Muto.

another location.

Shohoku is basically a balance of power.

Especially at the point guard position.

Although Miyagi Ryota has extremely fast speed and breakthrough skills.

But compared to Shinichi Maki, it still pales in comparison.

As the well-deserved number one high school student in Kanagawa Prefecture.

Shinichi Maki whether it is size, height or breakthrough ability.

Both are far better than Miyagi.

the most important is.

Shinichi Maki also has an extremely accurate mid-range shot.

This is simply a big killer.

And Miyagi's mid-range is too unstable.

There is no such thing as long-distance.

Under horizontal comparison.

Shohoku is arguably slightly behind.

But Shohoku's vertical comparison is far better than Kainan.

They have the best defensive counterattack skills and offensive routines in Nagawa Prefecture.

And the three muskets on the outside can also guarantee Shohoku's firepower.

The most important thing is Tatsuhiko.

That ultra-long three-pointer that kills people.

It is doomed that Kainan will be under great defensive pressure throughout the game.

Tatsuhiko has proven it game after game.

One-man defense is completely impossible to mark him.

And multiple teams double-teamed Tatsuhiko.

That means the line of defense will inevitably be pulled.

For a projectile brigade like Shohoku.

It's just too unwise.

817 Summarized by countless netizens.

The outcome of Shohoku and Kainan is a tie.

What matters is whether Shohoku can use their offensive strengths to kill Kainan.

Still being completely stared down by Kainan.

The Three Musketeers couldn't take advantage of their long-range shots.

Akagi on the inside doesn't have the strength to break Kainan at all.

"Come on Kainan!"

"King Kainan!"

Cheerleaders in Kainan school uniforms.

have to say.

Although Kainan's cheerleading team is not as large as Shoyo's.

But they also have unique advantages.

That is confidence.

No matter who the opponent is.

Shoyo? Ryonan? Shohoku?

There was no pressure whatsoever.

Kainan is the strongest team in Kanagawa Prefecture.

And their ace player Shinichi Maki.

He is the best high school student in Kanagawa Prefecture.

"Beep!"

"The game starts now!"

With the referee's whistle sounded.

Shohoku and Kainan's players stepped up to the jump ball.

Akagi jumps the ball with Takasago.

Akagi grabs it and passes to Miyagi immediately.

Tatsuhiko and Kaede Rukawa immediately ran towards Kainan's backcourt,

"Tatsuhiko! Catch the ball!"

Miyagi roared.

Immediately the ball was thrown long into Tatsuhiko's hands.

Tatsuhiko kept walking.

Continue to kill towards Kainan's restricted area.

Shohoku fans rose to their feet.

"This is the fast break system that Shohoku is most familiar with!"

"It seems that Shohoku has been prepared for a long time, and he will give Kainan a blow!"

"Tatsuhiko, dunk one!"

Tatsuhiko on the court didn't hesitate.

The basketball doesn't stay in the hands.

Passed directly to Kaede Rukawa.

Kaede Rukawa takes the ball.

Leap up and dunk.

next second.

A pair of big hands appeared in front of Kaede Rukawa.

"I'm really in a hurry!"

A figure caught up with Kaede Rukawa who leaped and dunked at an unimaginable speed.

The audience on the sidelines covered their mouths in surprise.

"Is this the speed of the strongest high school student in Kanagawa?"

"It's more than enough to participate in the sprint competition, because!"

"Oops, Kaede Rukawa didn't notice, the ball is going to be blocked!"

The one chasing him is Shinichi Maki!

Shinichi Maki jumped high and blocked Kaede Rukawa's dunk.

Seeing that the slam dunk failed.

Kaede Rukawa snatched the ball back immediately.

He frowned.

"This guy, what a speed!"

It was basically impossible to defend the ball just now, and who knew that a Shinichi Maki was shot.

Akagi's face froze. Remind everyone of Shohoku.

"Be careful, he is Kanagawa's No. 1.

Seeing that the fast break can no longer be achieved.

The Kainan players have already made up their defenses.

Kaede Rukawa can only take a long-term view and reorganize the offense.

He passes directly to Miyagi outside the line.

The moment Miyagi catches the ball.

"Snapped!"

Soichiro Jin saw the opportunity and stole the ball directly.

Got it.

Seeing this, Kiyota praised him.

"Nice grab, God, pass the ball!"

While running, ask for the ball.

Soichiro Jin smiled slightly.

"Don't worry!"

Then a long pass is played and the ball goes towards Kiyota.

Sudden.

A figure jumped up high.

Tatsuhiko steals.

Soichiro Jin was shocked.

"Tatsuhiko is so insightful and jumps so high!"

Kiyota gritted his teeth.

"What a nuisance."

Seeing Tatsuhiko steal, Shinichi Maki rushed towards Tatsuhiko immediately.

Stand in front of Tatsuhiko.

He reached out and grabbed the basketball in Tatsuhiko's hand.

Seeing this, Tatsuhiko smiled slightly.

"I've been on guard against you since the beginning."

Tatsuhiko spins and blocks Shinichi Maki's tackle.

Then he glanced at Miyagi not far away with his glasses.

God noticed it and immediately stood in front of Miyagi.

"Stop passing the ball!"

next second.

Tatsuhiko shook his hand, eyes still looking in Miyagi's direction, but passed the ball to Kogure on the line.

Instantly!

Everyone in Team Kainan panicked.

"Damn it! No one defends Kogure, all the attention is on Tatsuhiko.

Kogure catches the ball.

Directly make a three-pointer.

Go in.

Shohoku scored the first goal.

Miyagi put their hands together and praised Kogure.

"nice shot!"

Kogure was secretly delighted, the feel of the ball today is comparable to the feel of the ball during internal training.

Not knowing at all because of Tatsuhiko's presence.

Tatsuhiko showed a faint smile.

The effect of this implicated force is much better than he imagined.

Greatly increased the hit rate of teammates.

That means.

A 3-point shooter that Kainan needs to watch out for.

But it's not just Tatsuhiko and Mitsui.

Even an inconsistent 3-point shooter like Kogure.

Both will become Kainan's key man-marking targets.

It was a burst of exclamation.

In less than a minute.

Shohoku and Kainan actually collided multiple times.

From fast breaks, to being snapped, to Shohoku's steal to hit a 3-pointer.

The offensive and defensive momentum of the two sides was deflected several times.

There is also a nolookpass presented by Tatsuhiko at the end.

In this short period of time.

The two teams have already fully demonstrated the technical characteristics of both sides.

In a sense.

Kainan's is a very perimeter-oriented team.

They have two star players from All-Kanagawa.

Soichiro Jin and Shinichi Maki.

The functional shooting guard and point guard.

This is doomed to their extremely strong outside ability.

And Shinichi Maki can also fill in the problem of perimeter defense.

And Shohoku as well.

What they have is the three musketeers of Kaede Rukawa, Mitsui and Tatsuhiko.

Point guard is Miyagi Ryota.

Although Miyagi's point guard level is still much worse than that of Shinichi Maki.

But Miyagi is also definitely Kanagawa's No. 1 point guard.

Have such a few players with super offensive power on the outside.

Shohoku's outside firepower is unique in Kanagawa Prefecture.

Shoyo auditorium.

Taku Itou looked at Tatsuhiko in some astonishment.

He didn't expect Tatsuhiko to improve so fast.

If you are Kainan's defensive player.

I'm afraid he will also be confused by Tatsuhiko's pass.

"This guy is stronger than before!"

Hasegawa said softly.

Taku Itou nodded gravely.

"It is indeed much better than before, but there are still problems with Shohoku."

Takano Shoichi on the side is a little puzzled.

"Is there anything wrong with Shohoku now?"

He couldn't see it at all.

Judging from his contact with Shohoku, he can't find the current problems of Shohoku at all.

Taku Itou shook his head with a smile.

"Keep watching, I'm afraid Kainan has already found out."

Immediately, he stopped talking.

Hasegawa gave Taku Itou a meaningful look, and turned his head away.

He actually couldn't see the problems in Shohoku either.

Sitting on the strongest center and guard offensive line in Kanagawa Prefecture.

Defensively, Tatsuhiko and Kaede Rukawa are ready to help.

Shohoku now.

Except that the inside line is slightly weak.

The rest of the place can be described as flawless.

In the auditorium, there were cheers.

"A good pass, even Amu was fooled."

"The guy with the glasses is pretty good too."

"Tatsuhiko's passing is getting better and better, it's hard to believe he's actually a small forward!"

Shohoku hit a 3-pointer early in the game.

It was like a slap in the face of Kainan.

have to say.

The defensive intensity of the two teams is much stronger than when Shoyo played against Shohoku.

Shoyo pays more attention to single defense and zone defense.

Relying on the advantages of height and wingspan, it covers a larger defensive range.

Kainan is completely different.

This is why Kainan has been able to win the championship for 16 consecutive years.

Kainan's defense is characterized by severing ties.

They focus more on severing the connection between the player with the ball and his teammates.

make it forced to single.

In the end, the chance of victory was lost due to physical strength and hit rate.

However, what I didn't expect was.

Shohoku got the head start in this game.

Tatsuhiko's wonderful pass combined with Kogure, directly scored a three-pointer!

Off the field.

Coach Gaotou still fanned his fan, his expression remained the same.

"This guy, Tatsuhiko, seems to have some strength, not a beginner like the rumors.

Then looking at Kogure, he frowned.

"Based on intelligence, Kogure is a steady guy who would take a risk on a 3-point shot?"

He stroked his chin with his hand, thoughtfully.

It appears that Shohoku also had secret special training for the players.

Coach Gaotou did not guess wrong.

There is a high probability that shooting training is the main focus.

Although relying on more than 20 days can't train a three-point marksman.

But you can rely on training to quickly become a three-point shooter.

In this case, Shohoku's offensive area will only be larger.

And so will Kainan's defense.

forced to pull away.

After all, Shohoku's three-pointers are too accurate.

If the Three Musketeers come up feel.

Even Shinichi Maki is having a hard time chasing points.

The tall head coach looked at Soichiro Jin who was on the side.

The winner of this match is Soichiro Jin's god.

If he can do it alone.

Hit Shohoku's 3-point shooter.

Then Kainan's victory will only be within easy reach.

And once it can't be restricted.

Then this game will be very difficult for Kainan.

Shohoku.

Sakuragi Hanamichi made a fist.

"The four-eyed big brother shot beautifully, and he is worthy of being on the same team as this genius.

Kuwata et al. are also excited.

Even against Kainan, Shohoku scored the first goal.

Mitsui sat on the chair and praised repeatedly.

"It was a really good shot!"

After such a long time of special training.

Kogure has improved more than just his shooting.

More importantly, self-confidence.

Kogure now.

As long as there is a chance to shoot, he will shoot without hesitation.

Kainan's group of guys played defense well.

But forget about the humble existence of Kogure.

Coach Anzai laughed.

"You played well. It seems that everyone's tacit understanding has improved a lot during this period of training."

He had no doubts about Shohoku's victory over Kainan.

In the eyes of Coach Anzai.

The current Shohoku has already surpassed Kainan in actual strength.

field.

Shinichi Maki is indifferent.

"It seems that I still underestimated you a little."

In the pass just now, even he was cheated together.

The strength of this guy Tatsuhiko.

It seems to have improved a lot.

Tatsuhiko shrugged.

"Shohoku is not as weak as you think, but we came prepared."

Then remind everyone in Shohoku.

"Return to defense!"

Shinichi Maki didn't object.

"The current Shohoku is really not to be underestimated."

They were able to reach the finals from the first round of the county competition.

This is definitely not something a weak team can do.

Shohoku is strong!

But Shinichi Maki doesn't feel the slightest bit of pressure.

He has already experienced the baptism of the national competition.

I've seen better teams than Shohoku.

Shohoku's strength is indeed surprising.

But this is not enough.

Shinichi Maki turned his head and encouraged everyone in Kainan.

"Hit the ball!

Kiyota's face was full of displeasure.

"Damn Tatsuhiko, always so fond of stealing the limelight!"

"Have a good attack! Don't talk about what you have and what you don't have."

Shinichi Maki glared at Kiyota Nobunaga.

Although he recognizes the strength of Kiyota Nobunaga.

But this does not mean that he can tolerate Kiyota Nobunaga on the court.

"Yes! Captain!"

Kiyota Nobunaga hurriedly nodded yes.

Kainan has the ball.

Akagi scolded everyone in Shohoku.

"This ball must be defended!"

Everyone in Shohoku responded heavily.

"Don't worry! Captain!"

"No problem, Akagi, let them see how good we are!

"It's just Kainan, we can beat them!".
