Slam Dunk, Start with a Perfect Three-Pointer

Immediately afterwards,

Ayako announces her opponent for the second match.

Sannoh High.

The opponent's name, even Ayako felt a burst of shock ~ flesh jumping.

Sannoh High, this is a team that the entire Sun High School community cannot avoid.

They exist to tell basketball geniuses across the country.

As long as Sannoh High exists, no team can win the National Series.

They notify the time of the national contest.

It's even longer than Kainan's streak of breakouts from Kanagawa.

This is a super strong team that truly has championship background and championship ability.

pause time.

Except for Tatsuhiko and Sakuragi Hanamichi.

Everyone else's expressions changed.

Tatsuhiko had nothing to worry about at all.

It's just Sannoh High. In the original book, Shohoku without him can win Sannoh High, let alone Shohoku with him present.

Not to mention, with Tatsuhiko's modern lens.

Look at the whole country.

Sannoh High is definitely a super team.

Their team style is actually very similar to the current Shohoku team.

Just a stronger Shohoku team.

The most similarity between Sannoh and Shohoku is the offense and defense system.

Sannoh, which has the top perimeter combination in the country, their main defensive counterattack system.

Coupled with the characteristics of the main shooting and three-pointers and the short, flat and fast offensive cycle.

This is what makes Sannoh High special.

At the forward position, they don't have a heavy inside like Akagi.

Most of the main players are jumpers who can run and jump.

In this way, although their single defense will be lacking, they will do better in double-teaming and assisting defense.

At the same time, this kind of staffing is also very useful for their offense.

In addition to Sannoh's strongest tactics, full-court press tactics.

This is a tactic that hurts others and hurts oneself. The biggest feature of the full-court pressing tactic is that it consumes a lot of energy.

Everyone has to stick to their defensive players as tightly as candy.

Especially outside point guards.

Many point guards who are not proficient in dribbling are very prone to losing the ball in this situation.

Even if the ball is not conceded, the team's offensive rhythm will be messed up.

Flows naturally into Sannoh's rhythm.

Then there was a gap of dozens of points in an instant.

Tatsuhiko still knows the characteristics of Sannoh very well.

He also had a plan in mind.

Sakuragi Hanamichi has no reason to worry.

Simply because he has no idea what team Sannoh is.

Sakuragi, who trains a lot every day, has no time to learn about the basketball team.

The first thing he does after playing games every day is to have a good sleep.

This is his biggest dream.

on the other side

Shock was written all over Akagi's face,

"Really?"

I didn't expect their grouping to be so embarrassing.

I met Sannoh in the round of sixteen.

He naturally knows the strength of Sannoh High.

Akagi even dreamed of playing against Sannoh countless times.

He relied on his super personal ability to win Sannoh, then won the national championship, and raised the national championship trophy, Akagi had also fantasized about it.

But never expected.

They met Sannoh so early!

When the top 32 entered the top 16 of the national competition, they met Sannoh.

"Aren't we the number one seed in Kanagawa? How could we be in the same group as the number one seed in Akita?"

Akagi asked Ayako with some doubts.

Ayako shook her head.

"This year's grouping is quite different from previous years. The grouping order seems to be a random grouping order, so we are assigned to a group with Sannoh."

Ayako sighed slightly.

"The strength of Sannoh this year should be stronger than last year."

Miyagi's originally indifferent face was also moved.

"That's the number one in the country for many years in a row."

With more than 30 consecutive years of dominance, this is a team that no one can ignore.

Even the king of Kanagawa Prefecture like Kainan, a super strong team at the top four level in the country.

Facing Sannoh was still bloodbathed by a big score of 40 points.

To know.

That Kainan was much better than this year's Kainan.

But facing a top team like Sannoh, there is still nothing to do.

Not to mention their Shohoku.

And Kaede Rukawa is not calm.

"Kitazawa."

"The high school student who claims to be number one in the country."

Kaede Rukawa had long been intrigued by this Kitazawa guy.

As the absolute trump card of Sannoh High, the super core, he is also a super player who is appraised by the media as "Asian Jordan".

His strength is beyond doubt.

So far, his record is not unbeatable.

That is 76 points in a single game.

This is the highest score scored by an individual in a single game since the start of the national competition.

As of now, including the county competition, Kitazawa in the second grade has already completed the data of 2000 points.

He also handed over a terrifying scoring data of 35.7 points per game.

This is a player who was born to attack.

Kaede Rukawa took a deep breath.

He remembered what Coach Anzai had told him.

"If you want to go abroad and go to the United States to play in the NBA, then you should first play the domestic game well."

Coach Anzai poured himself a cup of tea slowly.

"With your current strength, you may not be able to achieve good results in the United States. Your talent is not among the top ten players."

Kaede Rukawa's eyes widened, seemingly in disbelief.

It has never been said that Kaede Rukawa's talent is average, and almost everyone recognizes Kaede Rukawa's talent in the basketball field.

Coach Anzai smiled and looked at Kaede Rukawa in front of him.

"At the beginning, I thought that you, Tatsuhiko and Sakuragi had almost the same physical fitness, but after the recent county competitions, I feel that your talent is far behind Tatsuhiko Sakuragi."

"What a gap!"

Kaede Rukawa sat up straight, trying to figure out why he was inferior to Tatsuhiko and Sakuragi.

"The physical gap is part of it. You can still improve after this. The most important thing that is not as good as the two of them is the golf quotient."

Coach Anzai said in a deep voice.

"In your mind, it seems that there is only one thing about offense. As a core player, offense alone is not enough. Defensive organization and other aspects have performed very well. In this regard, you must A little bit weaker."

Coach Anzai is merciless.

"After you go back, think about it clearly. In the future, there will be people who can bounce better than you, and people whose physical fitness is several times stronger than yours. If you can't even accept this now, you don't need to go to the United States at all. It's just a waste of time."

Coach Anzai's words are absolutely amazing.

But it also touched the heart of Kaede Rukawa.

He must be the best player in the country, even surpassing Tatsuhiko!

As for Kitazawa

He had wanted to go for a while.

Did not expect to come so soon.

Mitsui was also shocked.

He opened his mouth and didn't say a word for a long time.

After all, Sannoh High's reputation is too loud.

Before he left the basketball team, he had heard of the Sannoh team.

They were born to dominate high school basketball.

This is the case for the starters, so there is no need to talk about the bench.

Kogure just felt his mind go blank.

"No way, this is only the second game."

I thought that after winning the championship in Kanagawa County, Shohoku, the No. 1 seed team, would be able to pass all the way.

Even Kuwata and other first-year freshmen were not calm anymore. They swallowed their saliva now, trying to calm down their fear.

But they found that it couldn't be done at all.

Sakuragi Hanamichi showed a dignified expression when he saw Akagi who was always calm.

He knew how strong this opponent was.

Kogure spoke.

"Sannoh is the team that beat Kainan by more than 40 points in the semi-finals last year. Amu has nothing to do against Kitazawa.

Washed with blood. "

This comparison of strength is even more shocking.

Even for them now, it will take a lot of effort to defeat Kainan.

Not to mention winning with a forty-point lead.

Listen to Kogure's introduction.

Everyone was even more shocked.

Only with Kainan as a comparison can we know the strength of the opponent.

They faced Kainan with all their strength and only won by more than 20 points.

pause time.

The scene was chaotic.

As for Tatsuhiko, his expression remained the same.

He was already mentally prepared to face Sannoh.

It's just a paper tiger, even if a professional player is placed in front of Tatsuhiko.

He won't have any worries.

There is no need at all.

Even if it is useless to worry, it can only make yourself more nervous.

Just do your best.

Go all out.

Even if you lose the game, you have to take off a layer of skin from him.

Coach Anzai saw this.

The color of admiration in the eyes is even stronger.

The coolest player in Shohoku all the time hasn't been the cold Kaede Rukawa.

But Tatsuhiko.

Tatsuhiko's mental capacity far exceeds Coach Anzai's imagination.

He never thought that he would meet such a player in his lifetime.

Not only has super personal ability, but also has a very good personality.

When Coach Anzai had a physical problem, Tatsuhiko also served as Shohoku's acting coach.

……ask for flowers……

Not only manage the team with gusto.

And in the game, Tatsuhiko's judgment based on the situation can be said to be very beautiful.

Even if coach Anzai plays in person, he may not be able to make the judgment of Tatsuhiko.

One more point is the most important.

Tatsuhiko is able to coordinate the relationship between all players.

Regardless of the relationship between Kaede Rukawa and Sakuragi or Akagi and everyone.

Tatsuhiko can coordinate well.

That's why Coach Anzai wants to continue coaching.

Coach Anzai wants to take Tatsuhiko out of the high school league once and for all.

This is why he insisted on being a coach for another two years.

Otherwise, the current Anzai coach is already thinking about leaving.

"Tatsuhiko, you must be one of the best players in the NBA!"

Coach Anzai thought silently, and then clapped his hands.

"Everyone be quiet."

He cheers up the morale of everyone in Shohoku.

"Shohoku is the strongest, believe in yourself."

Tatsuhiko is also opening.

"During this time, everyone has improved a lot, and the cooperation has become smoother. This time, facing Sannoh, we must show our strongest strength, cut him under the horse, and dominate the whole country."

What Tatsuhiko said was the truest thought in his heart.

He never thought Shohoku was weaker than Kainan.

Sannoh leads Kainan by 40 points, Shohoku only leads

20 points first, does that mean Shohoku is weak?

if necessary.

With Tatsuhiko's shooting ability, it's not a problem to pull the game apart in the final period.

pause time.

Everyone heard Tatsuhiko's majestic voice.

The fear in my heart also gradually dissipated.

Anyway, it's all arranged like this, so we can only fight with one of them.

Akagi growled.

"Shohoku, must win!"

The crowd roared,

Coach Anzai smiled.

"That's right. Keep training."

the other side.

Aida Hikoichi came to a sushi restaurant.

It was Yu Zhu's family.

The two chatted.

"Are you really not going to participate in the winter competition? Uozumi-senpai!"

Hikoichi still feels a little bit reluctant to live with his senior.

After all, he is the person who has helped him the most since he entered the basketball team.

Although Uozu-senpai looks fierce.

But he is actually a very gentle person.

And Uozumi-senpai is also working hard for the championship.

Yuzhu directly refused.

"I'm a chef now, basketball has nothing to do with me."

Aida Hikoichi argues with Yuzhu.

"This is not the Captain Yuzhu I know. Even the seniors in other teams don't leave until they finish the Winter Games."

Hikoichi was a little surprised.

Uozumi-senpai is so stubborn.

Obviously there is still one last chance to participate in the national competition, why give up.

The fish post opens.

"It's over, I won't play basketball anymore."

He still turned down Aida Hikoichi's request.

This is what Yuzhu promised his father.

In the three years of high school, Yuzhu can pursue his dreams crazily, and his family will also give Yuzhu a large amount of financial assistance.

But if after three years.

Yuzhu still has no future in basketball, so Yuzhu must give up basketball and go home to inherit the industry with peace of mind.

At that time, Yuzhu thought about it for a long time, and finally agreed to the family's conditions.

But what I didn't expect was.

I have worked hard for three years, and every year I am close, and every year I am the top four in the county competition.

Just can't break through the semi-finals of this county competition.

Aida Hikoichi leaves.

Yuzhu watched the back of Aida Hikoichi leaving.

There are mixed feelings in my heart.

He wants to play basketball more than anyone, but he really has no chance to touch basketball

After coming out, Hikoichi met Fujima and others.

greet.

"I'm Aida Hikoichi from Ryonan Middle School, where are you going?"

Fujima smiles.

"Go to Shohoku. See them off, and tell them by the way that we are also participating in the Winter Games, and we will definitely not lose to them then."

Aida Hikoichi sighed.

"They're both in the third year of high school. Why is there such a big difference?"

Tell me about the fish stick.

Everyone was surprised.

"Retired?"

Then Fujima spoke.

"Everyone has their own dreams. Although we failed, I will still say loudly that I love basketball.

Fujima is also deeply in love with basketball.

That's why he'll keep going.

Then he left with everyone.

That leaves Aida Hikoichi.

Aida Hikoichi stood where she was.

"Captain Yuzhu. Since that's the case, let me see you off.

He had a plan in mind.

Shoyo Ryonan teamed up to compete against Shohoku at !.
