Slam Dunk, Start with a Perfect Three-Pointer

next day

Tatsuhiko goes for a morning jog as usual.

Behind him are Ayako and Haruko

Haruko, who hadn't seen Tatsuhiko for half a month, was unusually excited.

She kept looking for various topics to chat with Tatsuhiko.

Want to know what they saw and heard in Shizuoka Prefecture.

The generous Tatsuhiko naturally knows everything and can say everything.

He turned to chat with Ayako Haruko.

"Chang Cheng, Chang Cheng's team is average, and we Shohoku can crush them even if I don't play.

"Crush?"

Haruko's eyes light up.

"Has our Shohoku's strength reached this level now, can even the top eight teams in the national competition like Changcheng be easily crushed?"

"Don't listen to his nonsense, the first game was relatively easy, and the remaining few training games were won by small scores."

Ayako pouted dissatisfiedly.

This guy Tatsuhiko really dared to speak in front of Haruko, how could he overwhelm Chang Cheng, and he was not worried that Chang Cheng's players would come to retaliate against Shohoku.

"Isn't that because I didn't play in the next few games? I only went up for ten minutes in the first game and knocked Chang down.

Tatsuhiko said confidently.

"Haruko, you don't know the scene at that time. We were already more than 20 points behind in that game. I played to turn the tide and not only tied the score, but also scored 29 points and 12 assists. Not only tied the score, It also helped Shohoku lay the groundwork for victory in one fell swoop.”

"Okay, stop bragging, that's not the three-point accuracy of senior Mitsui, otherwise it would be so easy to tie the score."

Ayako complained relentlessly to Tatsuhiko.

This guy, just because Haruko likes him, is so enthusiastic in front of Haruko, it's enough.

"Where did I blow it, did I score 29 points and 12 assists, when I got off the court, the first sentence you said to me was, Tatsuhiko, you are so handsome and you performed so well! Isn't it?"

Tatsuhiko gave Ayako a blank look.

Haruko's eyes are shining brightly.

"I knew you were the strongest team. Looking forward to your performance in the national competition!"

Haruko said excitedly.

"We must win the national championship this year!"

Tatsuhiko smiled lightly.

"Remember to cheer us on then."

"No problem, I will act with your support group when the time comes, we have already agreed.

Haruko said happily.

"So that's how it is."

Tatsuhiko nodded thoughtfully, then asked Haruko softly.

"I heard that 833 has uniform support clothes, won't they wear that?"

"I wouldn't wear that!"

Haruko shook her head in panic, blushing.

The clothes of the support team are too revealing, miniskirts and short vests.

She can't accept that kind of clothes.

Then, Haruko looked at Tatsuhiko curiously.

"I don't know if Tatsuhiko likes that feeling."

And the other side.

Ayako had a worried look on his face.

Haruko wondered, asking.

"What's wrong? Ayako-senpai."

Ayako took out the national competition schedule and let out a long sigh.

"I met Sannoh High in the second round."

Tatsuhiko was surprised.

I thought that because he traveled here, there would be some differences.

In addition, Shohoku has won all of them this year, directly grabbing Kainan's No. 1 seed team status.

Normally, they should change a group.

I should meet Sannoh in the Final Four.

But it turned out to be Sannoh in the second round.

However, Tatsuhiko is full of confidence.

He was not afraid at all, and even looked forward to it slightly.

A team like Sannoh is the team he has always wanted to challenge.

Sannoh's strength, looking at all the teams in the country, including the U19 World Youth Championship, they are all the strongest teams.

A top player as strong as Shinichi Maki has no chance to fight back against Sannoh High, and he is a little confused when he is beaten.

The strength of Sannoh High is naturally conceivable.

But according to the original book, Shohoku was better than Sannoh, but he was greatly hurt by it.

In fact, this is exactly the case. Even if Sannoh can win Shohoku, they will not be much better in the next round of competition.

At that time, Shohoku's strength was on par with Yamada's.

Although Shohoku won the game, he still failed to make it to the finals and lost to the next Aiwa.

Youth always has no regrets, and these regrets are intertwined, which is the unique taste of youth.

Haruko was still puzzled.

"Is Sannoh strong? Are they stronger than Kainan?"

This is a bit too strong, you know, Kainan's strength is there for all to see.

Although it was defeated by Shohoku this year, it failed to hold on to the status of the No. 1 seed team in Kanagawa Prefecture.

But their strength is definitely the first echelon.

This is the essence of King Kainan.

Even if they are absolute losers this year.

But despite this, they definitely have the strength of the top four in the country.

Looking at Haruko's doubts, Ayako explained seriously

"They are national champions for many years, and no team can shake their status.

This is where Sannoh's real strength lies.

Whether it is technical and tactical aspects or other aspects.

Sannoh is always the number one.

In other words, Sannoh is the strongest team.

"And Kitazawa is known as the number one high school student in the country. He is Sannoh's trump card.

Ayako added.

When he was a freshman in high school, Kitazawa, who made his debut in the national competition, had already shown super personal ability.

He led everyone with 35 points per game.

In the first year of high school, he won the MVP of the national competition.

In the county competition last year, he scored a quasi-triple double of 55 points, 9 assists and 9 rebounds.

At that time, some newspapers had already listed Kitazawa as the number one high school student in the country.

And this year, Kitazawa's strength will definitely change by leaps and bounds.

This is what worries Ayako the most.

Haruko was shocked.

"I met such a strong team as soon as I came here."

Tatsuhiko smiled lightly, reassuring the two of them.

"Don't worry, I'm here, don't worry. And Captain Akagi's strength has improved a lot now, there is no problem."

Just kidding, with him around, still lose?

Shohoku can take Sannoh without him, how can he lose the game now that he is fully integrated into Shohoku.

What's more, he still has some understanding of the characteristics of the Sannoh team.

This is why Tatsuhiko is confident.

Unless there are a few unreasonable players like Midorima in this Sannoh.

Tatsuhiko might be a little worried at that time.

Now there is absolutely nothing to be afraid of.

The two showed ugly smiles.

Tatsuhiko was helpless.

Distract the attention of the two.

Take two for breakfast.

Back to school training.

at this time.

Shohoku Basketball Gym.

Everyone is training hard.

And Sakuragi Hanamichi has become the meat and potatoes of Shohoku players.

They gather around Sakuragi Hanamichi.

Looking enviously at Sakuragi Hanamichi.

You must know that being able to receive personal guidance from Coach Anzai is not an honor that ordinary players can get.

Even Tatsuhiko.

Most of the time, I practice alone.

Coach Anzai can't coach Tatsuhiko at all.

"You kid, what kind of shit luck is it!"

Mitsui muttered in dissatisfaction.

Sakuragi, did he save the galaxy in his previous life?

Otherwise, how can he get coach Anzai's personal guidance.

To know.

For such a long time, Coach Anzai has not personally coached himself once.

"You just got shit luck, little three!"

Sakuragi gave Hisashi Mitsui a vicious look.

"I hope you won't be bitten by a dog when you go out!"

"What a bastard!"

Mitsui glared at Sakuragi in front of him.

How does it feel that Sakuragi has changed after Tatsuhiko's time, and this mouth is much more vicious than before.

Miyagi draped Sakuragi Hanamichi's shoulders with a curious look on his face.

"What did Coach Anzai teach you?"

Akagi heard, equally curious.

However, I really can't let go of my (biaj) face as the captain.

I can only eavesdrop on the conversations of a few people.

Sakuragi Hanamichi is proud.

"If you want to know, I won't tell you.

The two despise.

"Smoothie."

"You don't even mention the content of the training, it's really stingy."

Sakuragi Hanamichi freaked out.

"Who's the cheapskate! Good! I'll tell you today.

see.

Miyagi and Mitsui smirked, and the aggressive method succeeded.

This guy Sakuragi is really funny, I can't help but be funny.

The news was revealed so easily.

At this time.

Coach Anzai came to the basketball hall unexpectedly.

Cough twice.

Akagi and others greeted immediately.

Sakuragi Hanamichi also had a flash of inspiration.

"Okay, you guys actually wanted to provoke me, but you didn't."

Seeing Coach Anzai appear, he remembered Coach Anzai's words.

"Sakuragi, your shooting and offense around the basket are our Shohoku's secret weapon, you can't use it until the game!"

"Dad, do I need to hide it? My mid-range shooting percentage is still very good now. At this level, will I still not be able to shoot?"

Coach Anzai smiled and shook his head.

"Absolutely not, you are our Shohoku's secret weapon, except for games, usually go secretly to practice shooting!"

Listening to coach Anzai's arrangement, Sakuragi could only flatten his mouth helplessly, and began to practice shooting more hard.

And his precise shooting, indeed, when the Shohoku players needed it most, threw a winning ball that could determine the result of Shohoku.

Sakuragi's thoughts came back to her eyes.

Coach Anzai looked at the crowd.

Pleased.

Just one year.

Shohoku has changed from a small belly team to the current Kanagawa new king team

he spoke.

"Keep training to let the muscles form memory.

Everyone nodded.

start training.

Tatsuhiko and Ayako Haruko also came.

Coach Anzai meets Ayako.

Open your mouth.

"Tell them the schedule!"

Ayako is worried.

"But the coach..."

Of course, Ayako was worried about whether the Shohoku players would be able to adjust well at that time.

Whether it is Toyotama Sannoh or love and academy after that.

The group that Shohoku is in can be called the group of death.

Almost no good team can easily break through from this group.

Even Shohoku was able to break out from the death team.

By that time, Shohoku would have managed to break out of the group stage.

I'm afraid they will lose half of their skin too.

Coach Anzai waved.

"Sooner or later

Know.

This kind of thing cannot be hidden for too long.

After all, they will know sooner or later.

Instead of starting to worry when you arrive at the stadium of the national competition, it is better to be mentally prepared now.

not to mention.

Coach Anzai doesn't think that the players under him will have such weak psychological endurance.

They are a super team that has passed all the way, from the first place in the county competition to the national competition.

The minds of Shohoku players should have been tempered very well.

Tatsuhiko spoke at the same time.

"Don't underestimate the hearts of these guys."

Although Tatsuhiko and the rest of Shohoku's team were only a few months old.

But the arrogance in the heart of the Shohoku players.

This is a feeling that any player is born with.

They are the team that came here to dominate the country, so how can they be afraid of any challenges.

Instead, he was worried that the opponents in the national competition were not strong enough.

At that time, people will comment again that Shohoku won by lying down all the way.

Tatsuhiko clenched his fists.

This time he will win the game openly and make Shohoku a real dynasty team!

Tatsuhiko shouted loudly.

"gather."

Akagi was the first to react, and it seemed that the final blind process had come out.

Everyone quickly lined up.

Tatsuhiko is also back in the team.

Standing next to Sakuragi Hanamichi, it looks even slightly taller than Sakuragi Hanamichi.

Careful Kogure observes.

He was a little surprised.

"Tatsuhiko's height is growing too fast!"

Yasuda and others are also puzzled.

Tatsuhiko felt helpless, there was no way, there were too many attribute values.

But looking at everyone's puzzled expressions, Tatsuhiko certainly couldn't say that.

He can only explain patiently for everyone.

"Maybe it's the development cycle. During this period of time, the development speed is relatively fast, but after that, the development speed will become slower and slower, so I'm actually very worried."

Tatsuhiko said a little aggrieved.

Everyone in Shohoku looked at each other.

This is the first time they have heard of a developmental cycle. Does such a thing really exist?

But looking at Tatsuhiko's serious face.

They still chose to believe in Tatsuhiko's idea.

Seeing that everyone was no longer entangled, Tatsuhiko let out a long sigh of relief.

Let him continue the chat, and he doesn't know what excuses to make.

Just prevaricate a reason.

Come to an end.

Ayako announces.

"The schedule is out. The first opponent is Yufeng High School. They are also very strong. They can't lose to Changcheng, maybe even a little bit stronger. Except for Miyagi and a few starters.

Yasuda and the others looked shocked.

They have played against Chang Cheng.

That feeling, if it weren't for Tatsuhiko and them playing, the result could be announced at halftime.

Unexpectedly, the first opponent in the county competition is Toyota, which is at the top eight level in the country.

But if you think about it, you have already reached the national competition.

How could there be any underdogs.

Except for teams like Shohoku who have not been able to enter the threshold of the county competition all the year round.

Sakuragi Hanamichi looked smug.

"It's okay, leave it to me when the time comes. I'm the secret weapon!"

Sakuragi said confidently, during this period of training, Sakuragi's self-confidence is simply bursting.

Everyone was helpless.

Started to put on again. .
