Slam Dunk, Start with a Perfect Three-Pointer

As time passed by every minute and every second.

Although Buri worked very hard in the first half.

On the offensive end.

They shot 100 percent inside.

And on unfamiliar outside lines.

Also hit three three-pointers.

However, the result of the game was not as they thought.

Halftime is over.

The score came to 80:60.

Shohoku led by 20 at just halftime.

Offensive firepower maintained by Shohoku bench and Tatsuhiko.

It is something that Buri has never been able to do.

Especially Tatsuhiko.

Although he was double-teamed by the opponent's three on the offensive end.

But Tatsuhiko still played his dominance.

first half.

Tatsuhiko scored a game-high 28 points.

If it wasn't for multiple people double-teaming.

Caused Tatsuhiko to play a lot more reasonably.

Otherwise Tatsuhiko is infinitely dry.

This score should be doubled at least.

The audience was shocked.

"The substitutes are so strong? This year's Shohoku looks like a champion!"

"It's not that the substitute is strong, it's that Tatsuhiko is too strong, three people can score so many points in a double team!"

"Tatsuhiko attracts double-teams, his teammates score frequently, and his shooting percentage is also good. Of course, he can lead by 20 points!"

"Buri is open only inside, and Shohoku is open except for Tatsuhiko, but I am impressed with Shohoku's bench, they can really grasp the opportunity.

"That's right, Shohoku's bench took those open shots Buri gave him!"

Shohoku fans excitedly cheer for the Shohoku players.

The sound almost knocked the roof off.

And the other side.

Buri's cheerleading squad is dead.

They did enough in the first half.

Buridolo double-teamed Tatsuhiko, and Tatsuhiko didn't even have a chance to get the ball.

They also increased the offensive proportion of the inside.

In the inside attack in the first half, he seized the opportunity very well.

Almost never misses.

In all honesty.

Buri's performance is good enough.

But Shohoku's record is even more terrifying.

Kogure and Yasuda on the outside.

These two people who usually take very few shots.

This game actually exploded completely.

Kogure and Yasuda combined for 11 3-pointers.

Just the two of them.

It rained three-pointers in Buri's half.

And Tatsuhiko hit the nail on the head at the right time.

Make up a few three-pointers.

It directly stunned Buritou.

Buri's auditorium.

Although the number of people still looks more than 410.

But fans in many positions have already got up and left the field.

This game has lost hope of winning.

Just a group of substitute players has already beaten Buri to pieces.

Wait until the second half.

Shohoku main force debut.

Isn't the point difference going towards one hundred points?

This kind of disparity

Fans are the last thing to see.

And in the rest area of ​​Shohoku.

With Tatsuhiko and others end.

Ayako couldn't help but praise.

"I can't see that you guys are able to play so well! Continue to maintain this state!"

Yasuda and the others scratched the back of their heads with their hands, a little shy.

"It's all thanks to Tatsuhiko drawing the double team and giving them a shot."

"That's not the only reason."

Tatsuhiko relieved

"You still need to be strong to strike the iron, and you all have good shooting skills."

during training.

Kogure and Yasuda's three-point shooting percentage is not low.

In addition to three points from Tatsuhiko Mitsui and Kaede Rukawa.

Next up is Kogure and Yasuda.

but.

What people didn't expect was.

Kogure and Yasuda's shots are even more accurate than in training.

Kogure is also puzzled.

"This hit rate is surprisingly high, no one is defending, and basically it can be given to the army."

"This is all the result of your hard work. As long as you can persist in training, there will always be a day when you will bloom."

Coach Anzai's voice came from behind them.

Everyone in Shohoku hurriedly turned their heads respectfully.

Coach Anzai smiled and looked at the confident crowd in front of him.

"You guys performed very well, far exceeding my expectations, keep going in the second half

Everyone in Shohoku immediately understood.

If Shohoku is on the bench for this period of time.

The score was instead led by Buri.

Tatsuhiko did not have a good way to save this decline, and replaced Shohoku's strongest lineup in the second half.

Solve the game directly.

Substitute training.

It can be done anytime.

You can't suppress their main players just because you want to train Shohoku's substitute.

Coach Anzai is a player after all.

It is still very clear about this set.

But in the first half, they led by as much as 20 points.

This means Shohoku is a substitute player.

They have the ability to end the game themselves.

In this case.

Then just let the substitute players finish the game.

Think of it as a day off for the main players to take a rest.

Able to win the top four teams in Kanagawa Prefecture without bloodshed.

Substitute player for Shohoku.

Definitely not an underdog.

Akagi also praised without hesitation.

"Good job, if you continue like this, you can win the game without us."

There was no jealousy or unwillingness in his heart.

On the contrary, he was extremely happy.

Thus.

Even after the prefectural tournament, Akagi left the Shohoku team.

Shohoku with Tatsuhiko Kaede Rukawa and Sakuragi Hanamichi.

Still a super strong team in Kanagawa.

They are still very competitive.

It will not leave because of the third-year senior.

The whole team suddenly collapsed.

Mitsui also looks like a big brother.

"Yes, Shohoku will depend on you from now on."

This is also Mitsui's inner thoughts.

He was able to make it to the big nationals in his senior year of high school.

He is very satisfied.

And now they.

On the road to domination of the country.

no matter what the result is.

Mitsui will be graduating next year.

He prefers that Shohoku can always remain competitive.

Can get more results in the future.

Yasuda and the others praised it.

A little blissful.

"It will definitely continue."

"Dad! I want to play too!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi looked mad.

He also wants to play.

However.

Due to being late, I did not catch up with the appearance of the substitute players.

Kaede Rukawa complained.

"Idiot, who told you to be late."

"Dead fox, what did you just say!"

"idiot!"

Sakuragi and Kaede Rukawa quarreled again.

have to say.

These two people are simply natural enemies.

It used to be that Sakuragi liked to provoke Kaede Rukawa.

However, as Sakuragi became more and more fond of basketball.

He also harassed Kaede Rukawa less and less.

Sakuragi also doesn't taunt Kaede Rukawa as often as before.

But now.

It was Kaede Rukawa who actively taunted Sakuragi.

He seemed to be avenging his past.

Say an idiot next to Sakuragi.

no more words.

But Sakuragi's character, how can he be a loser.

Every now and then.

He'll be looking back to Kaede Rukawa.

Ayako covered her mouth and smirked.

Sakuragi and Kaede Rukawa this guy, are so much fun.

Ayako secretly thought in his heart.

"Kaede Rukawa's personality has also changed a lot. How could Kaede Rukawa talk so much before? Is it because of him?"

Ayako turned to look at Tatsuhiko who was resting aside.

Tatsuhiko such a strong strength.

His personal ability is the best in Shohoku.

But even so, Tatsuhiko is well integrated into Shohoku.

And can connect the whole team in a short period of time.

That alone.

It takes Kaede Rukawa to learn for a long time.

The basketball game is not because of your strength.

Teammates need to play around you.

It's because your teammates play around you.

Treat you as the absolute core.

That's why you are so strong.

And the other side.

Akagi looked at the sweaty Kakuta.

sighed.

"Kakuta is still a bit reluctant to play as a center. The inside line can't limit Buri's center. It may be better to let Sakuragi Hanamichi go up.

The main thing is that the body has disadvantages.

Whether it is Kakuta's size or shape, there is a lot of difference between Buri center.

And Kakuta's offensive ability around the basket is very average.

He's more of a close-range shooting ability.

Sakuragi Hanamichi joy.

Put your hand on Kakuta's shoulder and laugh.

"Kakuta, you just go off the field and take a rest, let this day come on the field and win the competition in one fell swoop.

Everyone has no language.

"This guy is really getting more and more drifting."

Kakuta showed no sign of dissatisfaction.

He has put the team's record in the most important place.

Kakuta patted Sakuragi Hanamichi's shoulder with his hand.

"With you on the field, we will win."

Sakuragi Hanamichi is even more proud.

"That must, let this day lead Shohoku to victory!"

Tatsuhiko shook his head helplessly.

"What a fool!"

Sakuragi didn't really think so.

Buri's inside line is very weak.

Their inside strength.

Should be one of the strongest teams Tatsuhiko has ever seen.

Even Kainan's Takasago.

They don't necessarily have Buri's inside strength.

But Kainan relies on super players on the outside.

Kainan on the inside.

I'm afraid Akagi alone can beat Kainan.

Go back to Buri's inside line.

A power forward in Buri with outstanding defensive ability.

Can always make up the defense successfully in a timely position.

Even send out a cover.

That alone.

That's enough for Sakuragi to suffer.

What's more, Buri's big center is "patrolling" at any time.

The pressure on offense can be imagined.

And defensively.

The twin-tower lineup has protected the safety of the inside line very well.

Although facing a shooting team like Shohoku.

They are a little busy around the corner.

But able to reach the semi-finals.

They definitely have a hand.

but.

With Sakuragi Hanamichi inside, it is more deterrent.

Sakuragi's current defensive strength is not weak at all.

more importantly.

Buri's internal offensive methods are somewhat lacking.

Mainly post-up singles and mid-range shots.

Buri's shooting is really problematic.

From center to point guard.

Always feel their shots.

It is completely dependent on the sky.

If you are lucky, you will get a hit.

If you're unlucky, grab a rebound,

Second offense.

There is no qualified three-point shooter at all.

Tatsuhiko put his arms around Sakuragi's neck.

"When you get on the court, I'll give you the backcourt rebounds, you can do it.

"Who do you think I am? I am the rebounding king Sakuragi Hanamichi! Backcourt rebounds, right? Leave them all to me!"

Sakuragi said confidently.

Tatsuhiko nodded in satisfaction.

I'm pretty sure about Sakuragi Hanamichi's rebounding skills.

side.

Coach Anzai simply arranged the tactics.

"Kakuta at power forward, Shiozaki off the court, and Sakuragi at center, increasing the threat inside."

Shiozaki tilted his head.

Why did it suddenly point at him?

Why did the last person who ended up become himself.

He looked sad, but nodded in agreement.

Obviously this only scored a few points.

Just when you were about to make a big kill, you suddenly ended up?

Crying in his heart but helpless, his strength can only be regarded as quite satisfactory among the substitutes.

Buri side.

The coach looked ugly, and Shohoku was surprisingly strong.

Although there is a gap between the substitute and Buri in attacking alone.

But Tatsuhiko's feeding the ball can always be unexpected.

And double-teaming Tatsuhiko with two guys is useless.

"Is it really necessary to use this trick to defend that guy?"

Coach Wuli hesitated.

But looking at the bright score.

He didn't hesitate any more.

"Since you can't defend, then let go of Tatsuhiko and try to defend the others to score. No matter how good Tatsuhiko scores alone, he can't beat Buri!"

Everyone in Wuli took a deep breath.

The coach finally took this tactic out.

They thought that this tactic would never be used.

I didn't expect it to be so fast!

"Jordan Law!"

The Buri point guard said softly.

This tactic has almost spread throughout the basketball world.

Has his own name.

Jordan's Law.

This is specifically to limit those players with super scoring ability.

restrain his teammates.

Let the player let go of the grab.

How can one person score more than a team.

Wait until your physical strength is exhausted and your teammates feel nothing.

It is when the opponent opens the score all at once.

Others nodded heavily.

"It can only be like this. To defend Tatsuhiko, you must have more than 3 people, and you have to risk fouls.

"The cost of defense is too great!"

Buri's small forward said helplessly.

It's like a cup of tasty poison.

Either choose to be cast to death by Tatsuhiko, or choose to be cast to death by his teammates.

In the first half, Buri chose to defend Tatsuhiko with all his might.

Let his teammates output.

The result is 20 points behind.

What about the second half?

"Wow!"

"The game continues!"

As the referee's whistle sounded, the second half arrived as scheduled.

Players from both sides play.

The audience was a little surprised when they saw the Shohoku lineup.

"Sakuragi Hanamichi is on the field? I'm afraid it's not easy for Buri's inside line, but I don't know what Buri's tactics are like."

They look forward to it.

The gap between the two sides is not too big.

A score difference of 20 points is still an acceptable score.

more importantly.

Buri has no intention of giving up.

The two sides jumped the ball again.

Sakuragi Hanamichi stood at the center line.

He looked smug.

"Let this genius defeat you in one fell swoop."

The Buri center gritted his teeth.

"Shohoku are a bunch of arrogant guys!"

The referee's whistle sounded.

Throw the basketball in your hand steadily into the sky.

Both sides jump the ball.

Sakuragi Hanamichi gets the ball easily thanks to his excellent bounce.

"Snapped!"

Gravity slaps the basketball into position like Tatsuhiko.

Tatsuhiko held the basketball and was not in a hurry to attack, but pointed to the sky above the arena with his left hand.

Said confidently.

"Hold on tight, let's finish the game!"

Yasuda and the others nodded heavily.

This game is the key to whether they can play in the next game.

Both sides attack and defend.

Tatsuhiko advances with the ball.

This time he was also a little surprised.

Buri players didn't double-team?

Instead, defend Kogure and several people close to each other.

Seeing this, Tatsuhiko raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"interesting!"

"Do you want to use your basket to prove how good my hand is?"

Tatsuhiko saw Buri's tactics at a glance.

If this is the case, then you are welcome! .
