Slam Dunk, Start with a Perfect Three-Pointer

"Beep!"

"The game is suspended!"

The whistle sounded.

The referee pauses the game.

Audience discussion.

"It's not good for Shohoku to go on like this, the score has been opened again!"

"The score is actually nothing, the most important thing is that Shohoku's momentum has been completely suppressed by Ryonan."

"Is this really the Shohoku who came up from the first round of the prefectural tournament? It feels like they've been beaten out of their wits!"

"The absence of Coach Anzai has had an impact on Shohoku beyond imagination."

"The main reason is that Shohoku's players are too good in personal ability. Although Tatsuhiko is Shohoku's ace, but he is only a freshman in the first year, it is difficult to suppress the rest of Shohoku's players.

"Look at how Shohoku is going to open up the situation. If this continues, Shohoku's competition will be over.

Discussions in the audience came one after another.

It's still hard for most fans to imagine.

Shohoku who came up from the first round of the prefectural tournament.

How could it overturn in the last game.

Is Shohoku really just a fake team?

But their record of defeating Tsukutake Shoyo and Kainan really can't lie,

Compared with the enthusiasm in the auditorium.

Ryonan's lounge area was much quieter.

Coach Taoka Moichi squinted at Tatsuhiko.

"It turned out that a young boy was the coach. No wonder he didn't play. Coach Anzai was so relieved that he handed over the team to a first-year freshman.

"No wonder Tatsuhiko hasn't played.

Yuzhu suddenly realized.

"I thought it was Kogure temporarily serving as the coach, but I didn't expect it to be Tatsuhiko."

Ikegami on the side nodded.

"It seems true, Tatsuhiko is a first-year freshman, will Shiki and Mitsui really follow Tatsuhiko's command?"

He was a little puzzled.

Even if you want to find a power leveling coach.

It is best to find a teacher or a senior student first.

How could a high school freshman be the coach.

How could anyone listen to his command like this.

Even though Tatsuhiko's personal ability is really strong.

"This is also Shohoku's weakness, everyone is strong, just separate them and break them one by one."

Coach Taoka Moichi sorted out his emotions and analyzed softly.

The individual abilities of Shohoku players are extremely strong.

Not to mention Tatsuhiko Mitsui and Kaede Rukawa.

The strength of Shohoku's three musketeers is already different.

For the general team.

It is definitely also cultivated as a tactical core.

And the physical fitness of Akagi and Sakuragi.

Putting it on an ordinary team is definitely the backbone of the inside line.

A super killer on both offensive and defensive ends.

But in Shohoku.

Sakuragi and Akagi do more dirty work.

Rebound, block, defend, help defend, protect the basket.

The offensive opportunities for the two of them became less and less.

Especially Akagi.

Although Shohoku's record is indeed very good.

Compared with the fishy team period in previous years.

The current comparison has steadily entered the national competition.

But Akagi's internal positioning has completely become a defensive core.

It is completely different from the previous attack and defense.

This is also a helpless move.

Shohoku has too many offensive points.

And the accuracy of outside projection is extremely high.

Leave such a quality super shooter unused.

Instead, go inside and play slowly with the opponent one ball at a time?

That would be such a waste.

This is also what coach Anzai thinks.

Shohoku can absolutely run the ball.

Instead of letting the ball end in someone's hands.

Coach Taoka Moichi reached out and squeezed his chin.

"If we didn't call a timeout, Shohoku would be completely suppressed by us, and this timeout was called very timely.

Hikoichi was puzzled.

"Shohoku doesn't have a coach, so is Tatsuhiko a coach?"

"I really don't know what you were listening to just now."

Koshino sighed helplessly.

"You're not watching Tatsuhiko off the court all the time.

Hikoichi shook his head and sighed.

"Tatsuhiko turned out to be Shohoku's acting coach, so there was a lot less opportunity to observe."

Taoka shook his head.

"This not only tests the strength of the players, but also the ability of the coach. Now we will see how Tatsuhiko will deal with it`

"He can't think of a way."

Zhishu on the side came out from the back of the crowd.

He reached out and handed Sendoh a towel.

"How could our tactics be cracked by him so easily!"

"If there is no way, Shohoku will lose!"

Sendoh said confidently.

"I won't give Shohoku a chance in this match!"

Ryonan all went off.

Everyone's face is full of excitement.

Able to overwhelm Shohoku both offensively and defensively.

This is something that even Kainan failed to do.

Didn't expect them to do it.

Taoka is also taking countermeasures.

"They will most likely let Mitsui open up the situation."

Coach Taoka Moichi made a bold prediction.

Mitsui's 3-point percentage is the highest.

at the same time.

The three-pointer is also the best weapon to break the deadlock.

Mitsui can completely rely on his own three-pointers to open up the space.

And Ryonan's defense will be stretched very uncomfortable.

"Koshino you off, Ikegami on, defending Mitsui."

Coach Taoka continued to arrange.

Ikegami patted his chest.

"Don't worry, Coach, I'm sure I can limit Mitsui's scoring and not let him hit the basket comfortably!"

Coach Taoka nodded reassuringly.

Ikegami's training content is defense.

Especially single defense.

In the game against Kainan, Soichiro Jin, who is known as Kanagawa's three-point marksman, was also extremely embarrassed by him.

Ikegami is similar in stature to Mitsui.

But in terms of speed and height, it has more advantages than Mitsui.

Such a player who can run and jump is the best choice to defend the three-point shooter.

"Sendoh continued to save his stamina, more than Fukuda, with the cooperation of the fish stick, try to beat Akagi's defense line with more hits and less."

Coach Taoka turned to Yuzumi and Fukuda.

"The first half will be given to you two, the second half will be Sendoh and Fukuda, you two must take over Biju!"

"Don't worry, coach!"

Sendoh smiled and nodded, but his eyes were firmer than ever before.

"Leave the second half to me!"

The bald Fukuda also nodded silently.

"I see!"

"What about Sakuragi?"

Yuzumi asked suddenly.

Although Sakuragi is a beginner.

And his offense is still very immature.

Mainly to attack the basket.

But I have to mention it.

In the last game against Buri.

Sakuragi, who frequently eats cakes, played a dominant performance in the paint.

If you don't care about Sakuragi's actions at all.

Relying on Sakuragi's physicality alone.

Both can cause a little trouble for Ryanan.

"Sakuragi Hanamichi inside is nothing to fear!"

Coach Taoka said confidently.

"Without Tatsuhiko's assists, Sakuragi Hanamichi has no scoring ability at all. With Tatsuhiko's feeding method yesterday, even a novice can feed into a super center forward."

Coach Taoka's eyes are very sharp.

To know.

The strongest man in Shohoku.

It's just not what's on the field.

It's the guy sitting on the sidelines.

Shohoku aside.

Akagi Haruko looked worried.

I don't know why Akagi and the others are arguing.

Then she looked at Tatsuhiko with hope in her eyes.

Hope to be able to mediate well.

Mito Yohei sighed.

"Without Coach Anzai, everyone has not brought out their strengths."

"Even if Tatsuhiko says, they may not listen."

Even a basketball idiot like him can see it.

Shohoku's offense is definitely questionable.

Akagi and the others end.

Still arguing.

Tatsuhiko stood up abruptly and scolded everyone in Shohoku.

"Is it noisy enough?"

"Would you like to see what you are playing?!"

Tatsuhiko's eyes scanned the faces of every player in Shohoku.

"This is not a basketball for one person, but the glory of the team. Sakuragi Hanamichi doesn't understand, don't you understand it too?"

"Is it necessary to wait until the last minute before the end of the game to understand this truth?"

"Ryonan is by no means an underdog. Even if I play, I may not be 100% determined to win the game. What are you doing now? Don't think about how to win the game. Why are you arguing here?

At this moment, Tatsuhiko was not polite at all, and directly pointed out the contradiction.

"Don't you know how to play without Coach Anzai?"

"One after another, who do you think they are? They are all basketball gods? Why haven't you seen any of you strangle Ryonan with the ball!"

"It's lazy when attacking, just like taking a walk. When quarreling, it's quite energetic, and all your strength is used in the quarrel?"

"It's okay to quarrel. After the game, I'll lock you together. You can quarrel as much as you want. It's still in the stadium and the game. This is not a place to quarrel!"

After a mouthful, Akagi and the others shut up.

There was no rebuttal to what Tatsuhiko said.

They did get a little impulsive.

The game isn't over yet.

Quarreling is really affecting morale too much now.

Even if there is any problem, it should wait until after the game.

That's the right time to say it.

Seeing that everyone in Shohoku stopped talking.

Only then did Tatsuhiko put away his angry expression.

Tatsuhiko naturally knows the truth of giving a stick and a candy.

He inspires people.

"Ryonan lost to us in the training match, so now that Miyagi and Mitsui are back, can they still be defeated?"

This is the truth.

That's why everyone in Shohoku is so relaxed.

When Mitsui and Miyagi have not yet returned to the team.

Ryonan is no match for Shohoku.

Now Shohoku's strength is even higher.

Isn't Ryonan just an offensive kaleidoscope and defensive Fukuda.

How is that different from Sakuragi?

"Aren't you worried that after losing, you will lose face to see Coach Anzai?"

Tatsuhiko asked softly,

Akagi and the others nodded.

"If you lose, you won't have the face to go back and see Coach Anzai."

Tatsuhiko arranges tactics.

"Sakuragi Hanamichi defends Fukuda and has a strong ability to attack the inside line. Captain Akagi only needs to limit the fish post.

This is his first tactic.

Ryanan's interior must be limited first.

Ryonan is essentially a dual-core driven team.

As long as the fish can be restrained.

Sendoh has to stand up and score.

But Sendoh is not a fairy player after all.

He also can't keep up the whole game physically.

It was in Kainan's overtime.

Sendoh because of physical strength

Because, the last few shots missed.

As a result, they missed out on qualifying.

"."Must get Sendoh on the ball as fast as possible!"

Tatsuhiko gave the order to die.

"yes!"

Shohoku shouted in unison.

Tatsuhiko nodded and turned to look at Mitsui.

"Koshino, who is defending Mitsui-senpai, does not have the advantage of height, and can be handed over to Mitsui-senpai to open up the situation. Miyagi cooperates with Kaede Rukawa to attack Ryonan's inside line, imitating Kainan's aiming at Yuzhu

,Once the fish stick is out, Ryonan's inside line is over. "

This is the tactic Tatsuhiko came up with.

Tatsuhiko's tactics are simple though.

But the pertinence is very strong.

His main target is fish living.

Ryonan didn't fish to live on the inside with an Optimus.

Defeat is only a matter of time.

Fukuda is basically an enlarged version of Miyagi.

Once the inside line faces the defense.

The hit rate will definitely drop crazily.

And Sendoh.

This is the most difficult point for Ryanan to deal with.

But Tatsuhiko wasn't worried.

"Three musketeers can't beat a Sendoh? Compared to offensive ability, Shohoku Ya!"

Tatsuhiko thought confidently.

Shohoku nodded.

play.

Served by Shohoku.

Akagi serves to Miyagi.

Zhishu stepped forward to block.

Miyagi breaks through.

After taking a look at Mitsui's position, Ikegami, the defensive giant, was actually replaced.

Pretend to pass Mitsui.

Actual pass to Kaede Rukawa.

Kaede Rukawa backs Sendoh.

Turn around and pass the ball to Miyagi outside the line.

Miyagi runs.

Exchange a glance with Mitsui.

Take the opportunity to run.

pick and roll.

Mitsui scored a three-pointer.

All in one go.

Several people in Miyagi praised it.

"nice shot!"

Coach Taoka Moichi looked at Shohoku's running and his eyes sank.

It seems that Tatsuhiko really intends to open the situation by Mitsui.

He stood on the sidelines and reminded loudly.

"Turn up defense against Mitsui."

Renyi was puzzled by Taoka Moichi's words.

"Coach, why don't you stick to Kaede Rukawa? Kaede Rukawa's offensive ability is far better than Mitsui!"

Coach Taoka shook his head.

"Kaede Rukawa is enough to be defended by Sendoh alone, as long as Mitsui is defended, Shohoku's firepower is bound to be halved."

Hikoichi nodded.

"Senior Sendoh's defensive ability is indeed very strong, and it is not difficult to defend the flow of power.

Koshino added.

"Besides, Mitsui's offense consumes a lot of physical energy, which is not enough to support the whole court. Without Mitsui's Shohoku, the firepower on the outside will be greatly reduced."

Hikoichi clapped his hands, suddenly realizing.

"It turned out to be like this, aiming at Mitsui's weak physical strength? It is indeed a very good tactic.

Coach Taoka nodded and looked towards the field.

"Miyagi doesn't have an advantage in driving inside, and Sakuragi Hanamichi can't guard Fukuda at all, and the only problems Shohoku has to worry about are Mitsui and Tatsuhiko."

Coach Taoka thought carefully.

Although the first half did not expand the score to 30 points.

But at this pace.

A 20-point lead is guaranteed.

If you can maintain a 20-point advantage and enter the second half.

Then the chances of winning this game are very high.

Tatsuhiko is indeed strong.

But he is stronger than Sendoh.

He is a freshman in high school.

not to mention.

Coach Taoka squeezed his chin.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

In order to limit Tatsuhiko, he also prepared a very special tactic.

"Although it may not be able to limit how long you are, it can definitely limit your scoring efficiency, which is enough!

Coach Taoka clenched his fists and shouted towards the court.

"That's it! Keep the attacking rhythm! Mark Mitsui! Let's open the score in one fell swoop!"
