Slam Dunk, Start with a Perfect Three-Pointer

County Gymnasium.

The air itself is hot and dry today.

Even if the stadium has air conditioning running non-stop.

But the foreheads of many viewers~ are still full of sweat.

The Shohoku vs Kainan match continues.

Shinichi Maki, who was already three points behind, did not panic at all.

Shohoku's outburst from the perimeter was exactly what he expected.

It's just that I didn't expect it.

The first to hit a three-pointer was actually Kogure, a little-known guy.

The game continues.

Kainan has the ball.

Shinichi Maki dribbles over the halfway line.

The rest of Kainan's team followed suit.

Kami and Kiyota parted towards Shinichi Maki's left and right sides respectively.

Kogure and Tatsuhiko ran towards them respectively.

Miyagi stepped forward to defend.

Looking at Shinichi Maki in front of me, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Good physical fitness.

With such physical fitness alone.

Even as an inside player, there is no problem at all.

But he chose to play point guard instead.

This shows that Shinichi Maki's body advantage is more obvious.

Miyagi frowned.

I don't know who it will be passed to? God? Or the first-year guy?

Seeing the defense of Shohoku, Team Kainan was amazed.

Tatsuhiko guarding Kiyota? And Kogure guarding God? Doesn't that make God score?

And Kaede Rukawa ran to Tadashi Muto.

Kiyota looked at Tatsuhiko in front of him and joked.

"Finally I've matched up with you, I'll let you see what a real super rookie is!"

Then ask for the ball to Shinichi Maki.

"Captain! Here!"

But Shinichi Maki just glanced at him lightly, and had no intention of passing the ball.

This also made Kiyota face a burst of embarrassment.

Tatsuhiko scoffed.

"It seems that your captain doesn't trust you."

Kiyota's face was full of anger.

"Once you let me get the chance, you're screwed."

The audience watched as Kiyota's request for the ball was denied.

Can't help laughing out.

"I'm not mistaken, that Kainan's rookie is actually asking for a ball from Amu!"

"It's not that you read it wrong, I also saw that that guy really has the will

"How could Amu pass the ball to you? Doesn't that guy know how good Tatsuhiko's defense is?"

Kainan's No. 10 was against Tatsuhiko.

Where there is any comparison, Shinichi Maki is the right choice not to pass the ball.

I'm afraid the ball was intercepted by Tatsuhiko before it reached his hands.

until now.

Almost every Shohoku fan present has approved of Tatsuhiko's defense.

Although Tatsuhiko seldom defends close, and most of the time he is a supplementary player.

But his defensive awareness compares to his offensive awareness.

Almost exactly.

Under Tatsuhiko's defense.

No player was able to score more than ten points.

He perfectly limits the opposing players.

And it can also be supplemented at any time.

Tatsuhiko's defense awareness is also very good.

Especially when Akagi was injured and left the field, he showed it vividly.

If it weren't for Tatsuhiko's timely supplementary defense in the paint.

I'm afraid Shohoku's inside line was directly pierced by Shoyo.

Off the court, Sakuragi Hanamichi couldn't help laughing too.

"Wild Monkey, your opponent is a genius!"

"Damn red-haired monkey!"

Kiyota Nobunaga gave Sakuragi a hard look.

A beginner like Sakuragi deserves to be his opponent?

"Wild monkey, I will teach you a good lesson when I come on stage today!"

Sakuragi shook his fist at Kiyota Nobunaga.

Then he ran to Coach Anzai's side.

Started pushing Coach Anzai's chin, begging to play.

Compared to everyone's happy expressions.

Shinichi Maki, who was dribbling on the side, looked calm.

Shinichi Maki looked around the crowd, defending God Kogure was more likely to show his feet.

next second.

Miyagi stepped forward and reached out quickly, trying to steal.

Shinichi Maki didn't change his face, switched his left hand to his right hand, and broke directly towards Miyagi's left hand.

Miyagi looked startled.

"be cheated!"

Did he show his flaws on purpose?

Shinichi Maki's shoulder hit Miyagi's chest lightly.

Miyagi felt as if he had been hit head-on by a truck.

The whole person felt like he was about to lose his standing.

"What kind of physical fitness is this!"

Miyagi was taken aback.

In the confrontation of the same position.

Miyagi has never seen a player quite like Shinichi Maki.

Even Shoyo's Fujima.

His physical fitness is not outstanding.

"Too strong!"

Miyagi gritted his teeth.

Then he adjusted his body and quickly chased after Mu Shen.

Compared with Shinichi Maki, the speed is not lost at all.

Shinichi Maki still ignored it, like a bulldozer, breaking through towards the inside lane.

Akagi scolded.

"Careful, Shinichi Maki is coming."

Although he wants to make up for Shinichi Maki in time.

But he guards the basket and cannot step forward to help defend.

If you let go of Takasago at the basket.

I am afraid that scoring this time is simply within reach for Kainan.

Kogure, who was closest to Shinichi Maki's breakthrough, frowned and immediately helped defend.

Watching Kogure come up to him.

The corners of Shinichi Maki's mouth turned up slightly.

"Hooked!"

Tatsuhiko reminded loudly.

"Watch out! He's going to pass the ball.

The voice fell.

Just as Miyagi and Kogure blocked Shinichi Maki.

Shinichi Maki hits with his right hand, and the ball passes right between Kogure and Miyagi.

"Snapped!"

Ah Shen took the ball steadily.

Miyagi and Kogure's expressions changed.

"hateful!"

"be cheated!"

Although Tatsuhiko has been reminded in time.

But the two still didn't expect Shinichi Maki's pass to be so subtle.

Surrounded by the two, the ball was still accurately scored in the hands of God who was open.

Oh god big space!

He directly raised his hand and made a shooting motion.

Kaede Rukawa lowered his voice.

"Don't even think about scoring!"

Quickly move your body towards God.

Leap high.

Reach out and cover.

But the next second.

God took the ball back.

Passed to Tadashi Muto inside, which was Kainan's real purpose.

They themselves planned to let Kainan's inside players open the situation first.

Shohoku is weak inside.

Although Akagi is strong, after all, he lacks helpers inside.

Although Kaede Rukawa and Tatsuhiko can defend the inside at any time.

But their size is still too far from traditional power forwards.

And Akagi can't take into account too many positions.

This leads to.

Once you attack the inside with all your strength.

Shohoku's inside line is very likely to lose sight of the other.

And Shohoku is in with a decent fight.

It is because of the internal problem.

The situation that led to the start of Shohoku was directly suppressed by Shoyo.

on the pitch.

Kaede Rukawa's cold face was also slightly moved.

"It's actually a pass!"

He thought so.

A sharpshooter like Soichiro Jin.

Already got an open shot.

Will definitely make a decisive move.

All it takes is a three-pointer.

Shohoku and Kainan will return to the same starting line.

Tadashi Muto receives the ball.

With a smile on his face.

"Successful!"

Raise your hand and shoot.

Just when the rest of Kainan was about to cheer and celebrate.

Shinichi Maki reminded suddenly loudly.

"careful!"

The voice just fell.

"Snapped!"

The ball held high by Tadashi Muto is intercepted by Tatsuhiko.

Tatsuhiko, who grabbed the ball, yelled and rushed towards Kainan's backcourt.

"Fast attack!"

Miyagi immediately turned his body and ran towards Kainan's backcourt.

A series of changes were a little unprepared.

Shohoku vs Kainan is just too beautiful!

In all fairness.

This round, Kainan's offense was flawless.

First, Shinichi Maki's breakthrough attracted two defenses.

Then open the pass to Soichiro Jin outside the arc.

Shohoku's defensive formation was in disarray for a moment.

Kaede Rukawa, who was supposed to be inside, had no choice but to defend Soichiro Jin first.

For the marksman in Kanagawa Prefecture.

Such an unmarked shot.

It's just a bag of tricks.

But what I didn't expect was.

This is still part of Kainan's plan.

After Soichiro Jin swung past Kaede Rukawa, he immediately chose to pass the ball inside.

Muto, unmarked, became the ultimate option for offense.

have to say.

Kainan did a great job on offense!

Shinichi Maki and Soichiro Jin, two Kainan star players.

Completely integrates personal rhythm with Kainan's team rhythm.

Almost everyone in the audience thought it was a certainty that Kainan won two points.

But still Tatsuhiko.

Tatsuhiko caught Muto's slack moment, coming out from the flank.

Immediately choose steals.

Muto wasn't careful enough, either.

Such an easy scoring opportunity was destroyed by Tatsuhiko.

There were bursts of cheers from the auditorium.

Like waves, one after another.

"Tatsuhiko! Tatsuhiko!"

"The defense is great, and the defense is also very good!"

"Shohoku's help defense is very fast. It needs to organize offense, take care of defense, and lead the team to score points.

"That's right, everyone has a lot of credit for Shohoku being able to get to this point."

"In this game, Tatsuhiko is fully fired, and Tatsuhiko can be seen shuttling through the crowd in almost every round."

Shohoku fans chatted excitedly about Tatsuhiko on the fast break.

And the other side.

Shoyo's auditorium.

Taku Itou looked serious.

That Tatsuhiko guy, he seemed to improve again when he played against them.

This guy's progress rate is really a bit too fast.

hard to imagine.

It's been less than a month since the Shoyo vs. Shohoku match.

Tatsuhiko has made a significant leap in both defense and organizational ability.

"This guy, Tatsuhiko, is indeed a bit strong."

Taku Itou sighed softly.

Hasegawa on the side was full of bitterness.

Nobody wants the most promising year yet.

blocked by others.

And on the other side.

Miuradai Auditorium.

Kazuo Araki stared blankly at Tatsuhiko who launched a fast break.

"This kind of defensive speed is a bit too scary."

"That's right!"

Murasame Kengo nodded in agreement.

"The current Shohoku seems to have improved a lot compared to before!"

"It's actually on par with Kainan, but I think that monster, Amu, is about to start showing strength.

According to the current situation on the court, Kainan's situation is not optimistic, and to break the rhythm of Shohoku, then Shinichi Maki of Kainan team must stand up.

And in the rest area of ​​Shohoku.

See Tatsuhiko make a steal.

Ayako stood up excitedly and put her hands to her mouth.

"Great defense! Tatsuhiko! That's it!"

Kuwata and others on the side also cheered for Tatsuhiko.

Even if no one thought of it.

After debuting, Tatsuhiko firmly grasped the rhythm of the game from the very beginning.

But what he relies on is not crazy scoring.

Rely on defensive and organizational skills.

Overwhelmed Kainan in the opening game!

Coach Anzai watched with satisfaction as Tatsuhiko launched a fast break.

.........

He is the one who feels the most.

The precise three-pointer from the first training game.

Now to the final.

Tatsuhiko can be described as a thousand miles a day.

His progress rate is terrifying.

It seems that he was born for basketball.

"He's more suited to that stage than you are."

Coach Anzai murmured softly.

Tatsuhiko is a true gem in the rough.

The radiance has already bloomed without being polished.

Kainan's seating area.

The tall coach was a little distressed.

Although I also know that Tatsuhiko is very strong.

The first game of the county competition scored 65 points.

Even though Miuradai is not a strong team in his eyes.

But being able to do this is enough to prove his strength.

"Defend with all your strength! Don't be dazed! Kiyota!"

The tall coach shouted.

Kiyota Nobunaga shuddered.

Immediately ran towards his own half.

Strictly speaking.

Coach Tall is not a very serious and serious coach.

But Kainan's training volume is simply too much.

I want to keep doing this every year.

For Kainan, it is also a very difficult thing.

And the best way to maintain such results.

It's training!

There has never been a shortage of talented players at Kainan.

Because this is the strongest basketball school in Kanagawa.

As long as you can enter the Kainan basketball team, you will definitely be able to enter the national competition.

And I want to show myself in this kind of place and become the starter.

It means that you have to work twice as hard as others!

This is the attitude of coach Gaotou towards training.

It is also the reason why Kiyota Nobunaga is somewhat afraid of the high-headed coach.

"Although Tatsuhiko is strong, he has only played basketball for three months. It is impossible that there are no flaws. I have to observe carefully.

Riki Takato sat upright on the chair, his sharp gaze flashed past.

Tatsuhiko's excellent performance on offense and defense.

It has completely attracted his attention.

There has to be a tactic against Tatsuhiko.

Otherwise, let Tatsuhiko make trouble on the court like this.

I'm afraid Kainan's morale will suffer a great blow.

Everyone's eyes returned to the field.

Tatsuhiko—a long pass across the court.

Straight into Miyagi's hands.

Miyagi caught Tatsuhiko's pass solidly.

"Beautiful pass!"

He went straight into Kainan's lane and got to the basket.

A small hook.

"Successful!"

But the next second.

"Snapped!"

A crisp blocking sound sounded in the field.

Miyagi's sure-fire layup was blocked by Shinichi Maki.

Shinichi Maki looking down on Miyagi from above.

Just like an overlord.

Miyagi's pupils constrict suddenly.

"Return to defense so quickly, when did this guy come here!"

Without waiting for the rest of Team Kainan to cheer.

Tatsuhiko followed behind Shinichi Maki.

Grab the basketball that is still spinning in the air.

His right arm is fully open.

The whole person was pulled apart like a bowstring, and he stretched his arms and dunked!

"Boom!"

A gravity dunk resounded through the audience. .
