Slam Dunk, Start with a Perfect Three-Pointer

There was an instant silence for ten seconds.

Then there was a heated discussion.

"It's too arrogant! Doesn't he know what opponent he is facing?"

"Their opponent is Shinichi Maki, the strongest Kainan high school, how dare Tatsuhiko~!"

"I just like Tatsuhiko's confident attitude! Come on Tatsuhiko, the winner of this match must be Shohoku!"

"No problem, it's a good thing to be confident, Long Yan, come on! Shohoku, come on!"

The entire auditorium was completely divided into two factions.

Fans of Kainan think Tatsuhiko's tone is really serious.

Be careful though, the wind flashes its tongue.

Shohoku's opponent is not Kano Miuradai and his ilk.

Not even a top four team like Shoyo Ryonan.

They are King Kainan.

The strongest team in Kanagawa Prefecture.

Shohoku fans, on the other hand, support Tatsuhiko's statement.

This is the performance of confidence.

From the beginning of the county competition, until now.

Tatsuhiko never disappoints.

No matter who Shohoku's opponent is.

No matter what the situation in Shohoku looks like.

Tatsuhiko as long as debut.

It will certainly be able to completely reverse the situation in Shohoku.

As long as Tatsuhiko is present.

Shohoku just can't lose.

Shinichi Maki smiled lightly.

"Then see if you have the ability."

There are too many people who talk big in front of Shinichi Maki every year.

Last year's Fujima, Hanagata.

Including fish live Sendoh.

Even many opponents in the national competition.

They are all confident and want to step on Kainan to become a super team.

But without exception.

In the end, it all became a stepping stone for Kainan.

This year's Shohoku will be any exception.

The game continues.

Team Kainan serves.

Takasago passes to Shinichi Maki.

Surprisingly Miyagi didn't defend.

Instead Sakuragi Hanamichi ran up.

"Look at how I can defend against you! Middle-aged man!"

Sakuragi shouted loudly.

Shinichi Maki's face darkened.

If Sakuragi didn't say the last three words.

Maybe he will feel better.

The audience was surprised.

"Sakuragi Hanamichi defending Amu? Isn't this just a reward?"

"I can't hold it at all. Has Shohoku given up already!"

"One thing to say, it's not impossible, Sakuragi's physical fitness is not inferior to Amu.

"You say that, and I feel the same way. Sakuragi is actually not good at defensive details, but he is not too far behind Amu physically."

"No matter what, it will be much better than Miyagi's defense. Miyagi really can't defend Amu at all.'

Shinichi Maki is indifferent.

"It doesn't matter if it's you or Miyagi."

"Stop talking nonsense, middle-aged man! Try breaking through me!"

Sakuragi said confidently.

Shinichi Maki shook his head, then looked at Miyawasu.

Only to find him blocked by Miyagi.

Shinichi Maki frowned.

This is not easy to handle.

The task originally assigned by the coach was to get two outside shooters.

Miyawasu finds touch with Soichiro Jin.

And Tatsuhiko has completely killed God.

Miyagi blocked Miyawasu firmly.

There isn't even room for two shooters on the perimeter to connect with the ball.

"Forget it! I'll do it myself!"

Shinichi Maki's body leaned against Sakuragi.

Then a turn easily passed Sakuragi Hanamichi.

"So fast!"

Sakuragi was a little confused.

Although it's not the first time I've seen people turning their backs.

But Shinichi Maki is much faster than Tatsuhiko.

In terms of back strength, there is also a huge gap between the two sides.

Shinichi Maki, who completed the breakthrough, went straight into the penalty area.

He hits the paint.

Want to create scoring opportunities for teammates.

as predicted.

Shohoku side, Sakuragi Hanamichi close behind.

And the other person is a dragon set against Wu.

Shinichi Maki's breakthrough threat is simply too great.

And because Akagi has to defend Takasago, he can't leave the position of the basket at will.

It was Tatsuhiko who helped defend Shinichi Maki.

Shinichi Maki finds a chance and passes the ball to Muto.

Muto catches the ball.

Immediately get into the act of shooting.

Nearby Miyagi helps.

Muto cast a false pass.

To Miyawasu outside the line.

Then remind loudly.

"Miyawasu, one more shot."

The passing line of this ball is really beautiful.

The audience outside the stadium was a little surprised.

Shinichi Maki's breakout.

Gets a good shot for the mid-range Muto.

Muto, who could have made a direct shot, draws to Miyagi's defense.

Immediately choose to pass to an outside line.

The outside shooters have been waiting for a long time.

Raising your hand is a long-range three-point shot.

This kind of running position cooperates with tactics.

It is difficult to practice without going through a long period of running-in and cooperation.

And as the basketball perfectly moved from the inside to the outside again.

Kainan also got a chance to hit a three-pointer.

The score appears to be heading for a double-digit margin.

Take it in stride.

Miyawasu saw that there was no one in front of him.

Excitedly clenched his fists.

"It's a good shot!"

He directly raised his hand to shoot.

But just raised your hand.

A black shadow came out from inside.

"Snapped!"

He slapped the basketball in Miyawasu's hand hard.

Tatsuhiko fly block

At the same time shouted loudly.

"I have seen through your actions a long time ago."

Tatsuhiko, who helped defend Shinichi Maki, found a perfect opportunity.

Big hat Miyawasu.

Completed a perfect defense.

"Tatsuhiko's defensive awareness is so good!"

"He was running outside after seeing the pass from Shinichi Maki!"

" Tatsuhiko should have known from the very beginning that Kainan was going to play outside. The last thing I expected was Muto raising his hand to shoot. He was not worried at all.

"This is really outrageous. The height gap between Muto and Miyagi is so big. If Muto pulls up and shoots, he won't be blocked at all."

"Kainan also played very well in this attack. Guan Yi's shooting space is not too small. His height is too low, his shooting point is low, and his shooting speed is not fast enough."

Spectators outside the court also noticed Miyawasu's shooting problems.

Although Miyawasu's three-pointers are also very accurate.

But his height is really too low.

Even for jump shots, the release point is very low.

Plus Miyawasu's lack of strength.

The release speed when shooting is not very fast.

Miyawasu obviously has a similar shooting motion to Soichiro Jin.

But it looks like it's in slow motion.

It is also for this reason.

And that's Miyawasu's biggest problem.

Even with a precise three-pointer, it is difficult to play as a spot-up shooter.

Can only enter the game as a Raider.

And Miyagi also found the right opportunity to grab the basketball.

Flew all the way to Kainan's backcourt.

How can Miyawasu, who only has shooting ability, catch up with Miyagi.

I can only watch the figure getting further and further away.

Miyagi throws a hook.

Easy layup.

The audience admires Miyagi's movements.

"It's really smooth and flowing movements, although he is a little lower, but the movements are very silky.

"The coordination is also very good, and the fast break is also very fast. Miyagi is the best template for a small player."

"Although the long-range shooting ability is average, and the lethality in the middle distance is not enough, but Miyagi's fast attack is still very powerful.

"He plays well with Tatsuhiko too, and Shohoku's perimeter is really strong!"

The audience admired Shohoku's players from the bottom of their hearts.

at the same time.

There are also discerning viewers who have discovered it.

Coach Anzai's adjustment this time is really very spiritual.

On matchups, all but Sakuragi Hanamichi was pinned down by Shinichi Maki.

In other positions, it seems that Shohoku has the upper hand.

Kainan struggled to open up a 4-point gap late in the first half.

The second half began to guess less than half a minute,

It has become only two points away.

And because of Miyawasu defending Miyagi.

In Miyawasu's place.

Has turned into a defensive black hole.

Miyagi wants to break through Miyawasu, it should not be too simple.

And Miyawasu, whose feet are not flexible enough and whose speed is not fast enough, wants to get rid of Miyagi's defense.

It is even more difficult.

This adjustment by Coach Anzai is really beautiful.

Mu Shen—a solemn look flashed across Xiang's steady face.

If the ball just now hadn't been for Tatsuhiko's defense, it would have been scored.

Have two consecutive fake pitches been seen through?

There was some fear in his eyes.

Tatsuhiko this guy.

In the end it is too sensitive.

Still have seen through their offensive routines.

If it's the former, fine.

It is impossible for him to feel sharp all the time,

But if the latter,

That would be kind of bad.

Kainan doesn't actually have much offensive play.

Most of them are tactics tailored for Shinichi Maki and Soichiro Jin.

If tactics are taken by Tatsuhiko Watts full insight.

I'm afraid Soichiro Jin will definitely be locked up.

Think about it.

Shinichi Maki immediately reminded God.

"Pick and roll!"

It is necessary to create shooting space for God.

I can't go on being led by the nose by Shohoku like this.

Ah Shen was also slightly dignified and nodded.

He also felt this oppressive feeling.

The second half begins.

Shohoku's defensive strength seemed to be raised to a higher level in an instant.

more importantly.

He hasn't touched a basketball for a long time.

This is for a shooter.

is fatal.

soon.

Kainan continues to serve.

Shinichi Maki dribbles left and right and makes it past Sakuragi with ease.

Then pass to Soichiro Jin.

Facing Mitsui defense.

Soichiro Jin dribbles through the crotch.

Then run towards the top of the arc.

Mitsui followed closely behind.

However.

But was blocked by Shinichi Maki.

God saw the empty seat.

A direct three-point hit.

Open the score again.

……ask for flowers……

This ball finally stabilized the morale of the army.

It also confirmed Amu's idea.

Tatsuhiko didn't see through their offense.

The first couple of steals were just pure touch.

to be honest.

It is a defense with a gambling nature.

Good luck, let Tatsuhiko bet.

That can contribute to -- great defense.

But if you are unlucky.

That's basically two points for nothing.

Think here.

Shinichi Maki finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Soichiro Jin is not locked.

The winner must be Kainan.

On Kainan's bench, there was joy

Hurray.

"God is going to use his strength too!"

"This is the first three-pointer made by Senior Ah Shen. It seems that Senior Ah Shen is also feeling hot today!"

"Ashin's three-point shooting has always been the most stable in Nagawa Prefecture!"

The tall coach looked proud.

"The two cooperate, because they can be stopped."

Shinichi Maki and Soichiro Jin.

These two people are Kainan's Dinghaishenzhen.

Soichiro Jin's 3-point shot is not like Tatsuhiko's.

How to throw how there.

The feel is like throwing 4 and 5 ultra-long three-pointers in a row.

The key is to get in.

It looked horrible.

Not so with Soichiro Jin.

His biggest characteristic is stability.

No matter how anxious and tense the game is.

His three-pointers can be hit steadily at the most critical time.

And Shinichi Maki was able to prepare and deliver the shells to Soichiro Jin's hands.

The cooperation of these two people is invincible.

Shohoku must lose!

And on the field.

*******************

Akagi's face was serious, feeling uneasy in his heart.

Kanagawa's leading scorer, Soichiro Jin, also began to exert strength.

Be sure to cheer up for the next game.

If you let Soichiro Jin throw the touch.

That hit rate is not much worse than Tatsuhiko and Mitsui.

Shohoku holds the ball.

Akagi casts a glance at Sakuragi Hanamichi who asks for the ball.

Just ignore it.

He passes to Miyagi.

Sakuragi Hanamichi with the ball?

In his opinion.

This is completely impossible.

To know.

Shohoku has absolutely no shortage of scorers and drives.

Shohoku's ball is indistinguishable in more cases.

Whether it's Tatsuhiko Kaede Rukawa or Mitsui.

These three masters are all excellent singles players.

The former Akagi and Miyagi were also singles players.

Also for the team.

Akagi and Miyagi gradually became what they are now.

They also sacrificed a lot for victory.

As for Sakuragi?

Might be able to attack with the ball next year.

Miyagi just got the ball.

Tatsuhiko beckons for the ball.

"Miyagi, here!"

Miyagi glanced at Tatsuhiko, and passed the ball directly to Tatsuhiko without thinking too much.

After receiving the ball, Tatsuhiko stepped up the half court.

And there is no sign of moving forward.

in an instant.

The entire audience held their breath.

"Is it coming again? Ultra-long three-pointer!"

"It's definitely not a flash in the pan. This guy really has the confidence to shoot in this position."

"How could anyone actually practice shooting from this position!"

"Just kidding, it's just dribbling!"

"Lucky ball? Go ask the Shoyo players in the front row to see if they think it's a bad ball!"

Shinichi Maki rolled his eyes.

"I won't let you succeed!"

As soon as the voice fell.

Both Muto and he jumped directly at Tatsuhiko.

Follow the record.

Tatsuhiko shot 100 percent from the field in midfield.

They have always been very afraid.

No one dared to bet on whether Tatsuhiko's ultra-long three-pointer was luck.

If not luck.

Wouldn't that just give Shohoku the chance to score?

This is absolutely not possible!

He looked at the two who rushed forward.

The corners of Tatsuhiko's mouth curled up.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Then he yelled loudly.

"Sakuragi! Catch the ball!"

See the double team formation of the two.

Tatsuhiko slams the basketball into Kainan's backcourt with a powerful right hand.

This is Tatsuhiko's real plan.

He's been testing from the start to see how afraid Kainan is of his deep threes.

If Kainan doesn't care at all.

Thought his was just a ball of luck.

Words that can no longer be reproduced.

He's about to teach the pompous Kainan a lesson.

But if Kainan is very afraid of his ultra-long three-pointers.

Even sent two people to double-team him.

Then the game is completely over.

Four against three in the frontcourt.

Such a simple ball.

Either one of Shohoku is an easy hit.

and this.

It was also the core of Shohoku's training during this time.

If you rely on Tatsuhiko's super long range to open up the offensive space for the Shohoku team.

A figure jumped up from the bottom corner.

"Boom!"

Alley-oop.

pause time.

Everyone at the scene was shocked by Chuan. .
