Slam Dunk, Start with a Perfect Three-Pointer

"How long has the Shohoku game been going on, why is it suspended again!"

"Their offense was so fragmented that they were completely overwhelmed by Ryonan."

"Isn't Tatsuhiko playing yet? Shohoku is already fighting!"

"He didn't solve the problem when he was on the court. Coach Anzai is not on the court. How can anyone suppress Shohoku~'s players!"

Audience discussion.

Not long after the suspension, is this reversed?

It seems that the absence of coach Anzai has a great impact on everyone in Shohoku.

Not only that.

Various problems with Shohoku also started to erupt.

These are issues that are long overdue.

However.

With Tatsuhiko's super personal ability and Shohoku's excellent record.

These problems are not exposed.

Coupled with the psychological counseling of coach Anzai.

It also channeled the emotions of Shohoku players to a large extent.

But the problem is always there.

There will always be times when he explodes.

Shohoku's first problem is the problem of attacking the core.

Akagi was the core of Shohoku's offense before.

Although it is a big team.

But Akagi is also definitely number one in Shohoku.

But with the addition of Tatsuhiko and Kaede Rukawa.

Akagi's weight on the offensive end has been greatly affected.

And after that.

The return of Mitsui and Miyagi.

It even caused Akagi's ball rights to be further compressed.

Even in the last three games.

Akagi is more of a blue-collar center.

Just need to grab the rebounds in the card position.

His offense with the ball has been pitiful.

Another problem is that Shohoku's target is too large.

Dominate the country!

is a very nice dream.

Shohoku aims to dominate the whole country.

There is no problem.

But therein lies the problem.

They are too attached to this goal.

And the single elimination system of the national competition is too strict.

therefore.

The psychological pressure on the Shohoku team is very high.

Even Akagi, the soul pillar, is affected.

Not only was he impatient.

And he is also eager for success on offense.

Always being frequently disturbed by Yuzhu.

This is for Shohoku.

Not good news.

Kainan's auditorium.

Coach Gaotou held a fan and said calmly.

"This timeout is the key. If it is later, I am afraid that Shohoku's momentum will be completely gone. Even if it is adjusted, the rhythm of the game has been completely controlled by Ryonan.

"Coach, even now, Shohoku's rhythm is very bad."

Shinichi Maki said softly.

"The tempo has all been taken by Ryonan."

"It's true that Shohoku's rhythm is very poor, but just by looking at how Tatsuhiko adjusts, you can see his coaching level."

The tall coach said with a smile.

"Also, Shohoku may not necessarily lose. Although the absence of coach Anzai has a great impact on them, as long as Tatsuhiko plays, the gap in the score will be smoothed."

This is the confidence of the high head coach.

Shohoku's strength has surpassed Ryonan's too much.

Although it seems right now.

It looked like Ryonan was attacking Shohoku.

Shohoku's offense was thwarted again and again.

Akagi on the inside and Kaede Rukawa on the outside are completely locked up.

But Ryonan was more impatient than them.

They attack desperately.

Seemed to want to end the game in the first half.

But even so.

Ryonan, who has played near perfection, still leads by only 12 points.

"Does the coach think so highly of Tatsuhiko?"

Soichiro Jin was a little surprised.

Although Tatsuhiko's performance is very good.

It also led Shohoku to overturn Kainan.

But they also didn't feel that Tatsuhiko's strength was as strong as coach Gaotou said.

"It's just that you don't feel it."

The tall coach smiled.

"This year's Shohoku will definitely stand out in the national competition, as for Tatsuhiko."

The tall coach suddenly stopped talking.

It's just a glint in his glasses.

Seeing the appearance of Gaotou coach.

Shinichi Maki suddenly understood.

What exactly was that sentence that Coach Gaotou didn't say.

Soichiro Jin was a little curious.

"Tatsuhiko is coaching, how will he deal with Ryonan?"

Kiyota looked disdainful.

"He just plays well, it doesn't mean he has strong coaching ability."

The gap between the two is still very large.

The players are capable.

It does not represent the position of being able to serve as a coach.

Players and coaches like Fujima are very good players.

Still very very few.

in other words.

Even Fujima's basketball career can't go far.

He can also go on in the field of basketball.

But such players are too few.

Even the entire Kanagawa Prefecture has only one Fujima.

This requires not only strong tactical execution capabilities.

A deep understanding of tactics is also required.

How could this be something that a basketball beginner can do.

"I guess it's a nominal one. Coach Anzai should have already made arrangements."

Kiyota Nobunaga said disdainfully.

Soichiro Jin denied Kiyota Nobunaga's claims.

"Since Coach Anzai handed over this important task to Tatsuhiko, there should be some outstanding points in comparison.

"As viewers, we just have to wait and see."

Shinichi Maki on the side also added.

Takasago worried.

"It's dangerous if Shohoku loses."

After all, promotion counts as win points.

In terms of net points.

Although Kainan beat Buri by a big score, he only leads Ryonan by a few points.

Shohoku won by 24 points.

Their net rating is the most.

Kainan was most worried about Shohoku losing.

And still lost to Ryonan by a big score.

That's calculated on the basis of net points.

Kainan was the eliminated team.

But this possibility is not great.

Unless Shohoku lost to Ryonan on purpose.

Want to eliminate Kainan in this way.

But this possibility is not very great.

Off the field.

Nan people are full of fighting spirit.

"As long as we beat Shohoku, we still have a great hope of entering the national competition."

Taoka Moichi spoke.

"Keep a good offensive rhythm, and gradually open the score in this way. As long as we maintain the lead in the second half, we can win this game!"

"Yes! Coach!"

Ryonan shouted in unison.

Their momentum suddenly rose.

Shohoku aside.

The atmosphere was silent.

Everyone in Shohoku had a look of awkward embarrassment on their faces.

I thought Tatsuhiko wasn't there.

The score will be more tangled at best.

But did not expect.

The first half is almost over.

They were more than suppressed by Ryanan's offensive rhythm.

The Shohoku crowd has even quarreled on the court.

more importantly.

The first half is not over yet.

Tatsuhiko has called two timeouts in a row.

If the game is deadlocked in the second half.

At that time, I'm afraid they didn't even have a timeout.

Although I feel a little helpless.

But Ayako and others are still patiently comforting Akagi.

"Captain, did Yuzu tell you something? You need to adjust your form, this is the last game before the national competition.

Akagi sat alone on the chair.

Cover your head with a towel.

He said nothing.

The whole person looked extremely gloomy.

He felt both guilty and dissatisfied.

Akagi didn't know what was going on in his mind either.

He just felt very confused in his head.

Not sure what happened.

"Sakuragi, can I buy hammers?"

Tatsuhiko turned to look at Sakuragi, a small smile appeared on his mouth.

"Wake up Captain Akagi with your headbutt!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi smirked.

"this is okay!"

subsequently.

Right in plain sight.

Sakuragi Naoki's head.

"Gorilla, wake me up!"

"Boom!"

Sakuragi headbutt!

"Damn it, bastard! What are you doing!"

Akagi yelled.

A large lump bulged on his forehead at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Mitsui and the others grinned.

After a while, he restrained his smile again.

With a serious face.

Feeling sorry for Akagi.

Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at Tatsuhiko, frowning.

"Is it useful? It seems that the gorilla has not changed much from before."

next second.

He felt murderous aura coming from behind him.

Akagi growled.

"You boy, what are you doing?"

He never thought of it.

Sakuragi dared to hit himself directly with the headbutt.

This bastard.

Don't you know I'm the captain of Shohoku!

Akagi punched Sakuragi on the head.

"You don't want to play anymore! Bastard!"

Tears welled up in the corners of Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes.

"Tatsuhiko, it's useful, I've already felt it."

Tatsuhiko laughed.

"Okay, the problem is solved, let go of your hands and feet, don't you still have me?"

Akagi looked embarrassed.

"My performance just now..."

Akagi just wanted to admit his problem.

Tatsuhiko said immediately.

"The first half of the game was very good. I have fully discovered their offensive tactics, and it will depend on you next."

Tatsuhiko picked up the tactical board from the table.

Write and draw on the tactical board, and everyone in Nishi Shohoku talks about tactics.

have to say.

At this time, Tatsuhiko really looks like a coach.

After briefly explaining the defensive tactics.

Tatsuhiko's gaze swept over everyone in Shohoku.

"This is our last county competition, and I hope we can end our journey of this year's body competition with a hearty victory.

As he spoke, he stretched out his palm.

Several other people saw this

They put their palms up one after another.

"Shohoku must win!"

this moment.

……… Ask for flowers……

The previous dissatisfaction has completely disappeared.

The Shohoku players didn't have any major internal problems.

"Let's win this game together, guys!"

Tatsuhiko looked at the people around him emotionally.

Even though Coach Anzai wasn't there.

But this does not affect the determination of everyone in Shohoku to win the game.

"Wow!"

"Pause time is over!"

The referee's whistle sounded.

Shohoku's players stood tight together.

Their hands overlap.

shouted in unison.

"Dominate the country!"

The turbulent momentum.

Even the surrounding audience can clearly feel it.

"Shohoku's aura is completely different!"

"This is the

Shohoku, who was able to take the victory from Shoyo Kainan, is in such a state!"

"Fight well! Boys, if you can dominate the country this year, our whole family will be fans of Shohoku in the future!"

"From the first round of the prefectural competition to the last match of the prefectural competition, Shohoku's journey is so legendary!"

"From a small team to the strongest team in the county competition, this feeling of gradually becoming stronger is very similar to the male protagonist in fantasy animation!"

Shohoku fans excitedly cheer for the Shohoku players.

This is the Shohoku they have always supported.

The game continues.

Shohoku walked onto the stage with high spirits.

Shohoku holds the ball.

Akagi serves.

Looking at the direction of Yuzhu, he said softly.

"Next is the real game, and Shohoku will definitely win in the end."

Miyagi catches the ball.

advance.

Plant trees to stop them.

Miyagi smirked.

Recalling what Tatsuhiko said, tree planting stamina is weaker in Ryonan.

for a moment.

Miyagi has already determined his offensive thinking.

Run and kill him!

Use the speed you are proud of to run to Zhishu.

Miyagi dribbled the ball quickly and directly broke through the tree.

Miyagi drove inside and saw that Ryonan's help defense was covered.

Uekusa behind him is even more in hot pursuit.

Throwing the ball in his hand directly into Akagi's hand.

Then run without the ball.

Zhishu followed closely behind him.

Although Miyagi is not a three-point shooter for Shohoku.

But his off-ball movement is also okay.

In addition to the inside players such as Akagi, Kakuta and Sakuragi inside.

All Shohoku perimeter players will learn this set of off-ball movement skills.

Tatsuhiko's set of running techniques is actually quite complicated.

Only Mitsui Tatsuhiko and Kaede Rukawa can master it proficiently.

Miyagi is just getting started with this set of running skills.

It would be great to be able to use it in a game.

It is different from the traditional off-the-ball running position.

This set of running positions is mainly to use the cover between players.

Also because of this.

The efficiency of getting rid of defense is still very high.

Zhishu was stunned and puzzled.

"What kind of tactic is this? How can a point guard run without the ball? Are point guards so introverted now?"

The basketball passes to Sakuragi Hanamichi.

Taoka reminded.

"Defend against Kaede Rukawa. Akagi's play on the court is nothing to be afraid of!"

And Mitsui was also defended close by Ikegami and had no shooting space.

Only Kaede Rukawa can break the deadlock,

Just rely on Sendoh to defend.

It is not safe, and defense is the last word.

Hear Taoka Moichi's scolding.

Ryonan's inside footsteps moved towards Kaede Rukawa involuntarily.

(

Sakuragi Hanamichi didn't pass to Kaede Rukawa.

He was disdainful.

"Pass to Kaede Rukawa? Impossible! The gorilla catches the ball.

This is where Ryanan miscalculated.

How could Sakuragi send the chance of limelight directly to Kaede Rukawa.

Lucky hit.

The heavily marked Kaede Rukawa attracted the attention of three defenders.

And Akagi under the basket.

There was a smooth road ahead of him.

Sakuragi backhanded the pass to Akagi inside.

At this time, Yuzhu also returned to defense immediately.

Akagi growled.

Take off and slam dunk.

Several people in Kogure were excited.

"Gorilla slam dunk is coming."

Yuzhu roared.

"I won't let you in!"

In an instant, all eyes were on the two of them.

Can Akagi break the deadlock?

then.

"Boom!"

Akagi tops the flying fish post and has a violent slam dunk.

The audience erupted.

The whistle sounded.

"White 4 defensive foul, plus one free throw.

Off the court, Ayako and others cheered.

Shohoku's morale began to rise.

Tatsuhiko leaned on the chair and acted as a crowd.

"It seems that Captain Akagi's confidence is back, and Ryonan is not doing well."

Captain Akagi is Ryonan's nemesis.

Especially fish live.

Always limited to misfires against Captain Akagi.

Once Captain Akagi played the hand.

Then Ryonan's interior is not easy. .
