Slam Dunk, Start with a Perfect Three-Pointer

Game start!

The third round of the prefectural tournament, Shohoku vs. Takahata!

Before the start of the game, no one had hoped for the Takahata team.

"As long as the loss is not so ugly."

"Is Shohoku planning to win more than 100 points again?"

"I just came to watch Tatsuhiko's game, and I'm saving Shuai."

The discussion of the audience has already sealed the conclusion for this game.

The result, however, did not disappoint.

Takahata was completely dizzy by Shohoku, not to mention the close score, he led by 50 points in the first half alone!

Tatsuhiko played as a commander and ended up playing in less than eight minutes.

But even so, it left a great psychological shadow on the players he was facing.

The dribble was broken and the shot was blocked.

Even passing the ball, there are frequent turnovers.

Tatsuhiko completely turned this match into an exhibition match.

From the start, Tatsuhiko had three assists for Akagi's alley-oop dunks and ravaged the rim.

Then Shohoku's offensive was wave after wave.

It is difficult for Takahata's players to even pass the ball to the inside penalty area.

The outside players were completely blocked by Miyagi, Mitsui, Tatsuhiko and Kaede Rukawa.

In waves of defensive counterattacks, the score between Shohoku and Takahata is also rapidly opening up.

Among them, Tatsuhiko also showed a wave of dunks with a 360-degree turn, which won bursts of applause.

The female fans around were about to rush from the auditorium to the stadium!

Tatsuhiko leaned leisurely on the seat, eyes full of boredom.

Such an opponent can't raise his fighting spirit at all.

But the surprise is Sakuragi Hanamichi.

He came on as a substitute for Tatsuhiko and had no five fouls off the field until the end of the game.

"Beep!"

"competition is over!"

The referee's whistle sounded.

The game is officially over.

Shohoku once again bloodbathed Takahata with a big score.

Shohoku seating area.

Coach Anzai couldn't help but praise Sakuragi.

"Not bad, not bad, I can see the shadow of progress."

Ayako on the side was even more surprised and asked Sakuragi.

"Sakuragi, you performed very well today, did you steal a teacher secretly?"

Kogure, Kuwata and others also looked curious.

How on earth does Sakuragi do it.

From the exit king of the game two days ago, to the end of the whole game today, there is no danger of fouling.

Akagi, Miyagi and others also looked puzzled.

Although Sakuragi did not gain in scoring.

But defense and rebounding have improved a lot.

Tatsuhiko was not surprised at all, with a calm expression on his face.

Sakuragi's physical fitness and talent are there, it's innate.

Rebounding is not something Sakuragi should worry about at all.

As long as he stands under the basket, he will definitely get the rebound!

As long as the foul and defense problems are solved.

Sakuragi stands on the court and can play his role!

Seeing the shock of everyone around, Sakuragi proudly explained the reason.

"Tatsuhiko has taught me a lot of defensive skills in the past two days, plus I'm a genius, I'll learn it soon!"

"idiot!"

Kaede Rukawa said softly in the rest area.

"What! What did you say, dead fox!"

Sakuragi looked angrily at Kaede Rukawa who was packing up.

And everyone's eyes are on Tatsuhiko.

"I can't think of a problem that Akagi didn't solve, but Tatsuhiko solved it in just two days!"

Coach Anzai looked at Tatsuhiko appreciatively.

"good!"

Afterwards, everyone left the county competition gymnasium.

On the tram, Sakuragi is still tirelessly showing off his defensive strength.

"This is the strength of this genius! As expected, this genius can learn it at once!"

"What a kid."

Ayako who was sitting in the front row said helplessly.

"Sakuragi played really well in this game, and it's okay to show off."

Tatsuhiko beside Ayako said.

Tatsuhiko appreciates Sakuragi's character, which is very frank and direct.

Ayako shook his head, then got real.

Her expression changed suddenly, and she looked at everyone solemnly.

"The opponent in the next game is Tsukutake!"

Sasaoka and other first-year freshmen were a little shocked.

"Tsuku Takeshi? That's one of the top eight in the prefecture, very strong!"

"Compared to Miuradai's strength, Tsujiu Takeshi has to be deceived."

Kuwata added.

"That's right, and their captain, Wudai Yukazu, is a well-known three-pointer in the county and Tsuhisa Takeshi's ace player.

The first graders immediately started discussing with one another.

Hearing what the first graders said, Mitsui immediately became interested.

"It seems that you can be an opponent. Even if your current strength is not as good as before, there is nothing to be afraid of."

This is Mitsui's self-confidence, as a super three-pointer in middle school.

Mitsui doesn't shy away from the challenge of any three-point shooter.

"It's all the same, no matter which team comes, no one can stop us from marching to the national championship.

Tatsuhiko said indifferently.

"Isn't it Tsuji Takeshi! When the time comes, let them see how powerful this genius Sakuragi Hanamichi is!"

Sakuragi is full of energy, he feels stronger than anyone now!

No one can get points from his defense.

Except Tatsuhiko!

Kaede Rukawa on the side is wearing a walkman and inserting earphones in his ears.

Naturally, he also heard what everyone was discussing.

But what is there to worry about.

He will definitely be the best high school student in the country in the future.

As for Tsuji Takeshi, he was just an opponent who was too ordinary to be ordinary.

at this moment.

Kogure suddenly stopped the lively discussion.

"Ahem, stop talking!"

Kogure winked at Tatsuhiko and the others.

Then he turned to greet the man next to him.

"Woodie, how is your team doing?"

This person is Wu Daiyouhe, the current captain of Jin Jiuwu.

Ayako and the others suddenly felt a little blushing.

It's really not good to say that you want to beat others in front of others.

Wu Daiyou said lightly.

"Looks like you guys have a good atmosphere in Shohoku."

Although it was a compliment, everyone in Shohoku could hear a strong sense of sarcasm from his tone.

"You are Wu Daiyouhe?"

Tatsuhiko looked at Captain Tsukutake in front of him.

"I heard that your three-point shot is very accurate?"

"It's just a rookie. There are many so-called super rookies every year, but they all fail in the end."

A disdainful smile appeared on Wu Daiyouhe's face.

"Do you know why?"

"I do not know why."

Tatsuhiko shook his head, looking at Wudai Yuka with provocative eyes.

"But I know that Tsukutake's competition this year has ended since he met us Shohoku."

"Maybe it's you Shohoku that will end."

Wu Daiyouhe gave a cold snort, and refuted Tatsuhiko.

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder between the two was getting stronger, Kogure hurried out to smooth things over.

"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it during the competition. We can be regarded as meeting old classmates."

"Too."

Wu Daiyouhe raised his head and nodded proudly.

He looked at Akagi who was speechless.

"Akagi, we have been preparing for a year, and we must enter the national competition this year."

Akagi heard Wu Dai's words and said with a sullen face.

"Really? What a big tone! Looking forward to your performance."

"Of course, because. 21

Wu Daiyouhe showed a sneer.

"A dark horse is just a dark horse after all, I won't show mercy, Akagi, I hope I won't be disappointed by then."

"Each each other."

Akagi said in a deep voice.

He could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

I haven't seen each other for a year, Wu Daiyou and this guy are still so proud.

The Shohoku players looked at each other in blank dismay, and the whole journey was quiet, and there was no discussion about Tsukutake on the tram again.

However, there was a fire in their hearts.

At this moment, they are extremely hopeful that the match with Takeshi Tsuji will start quickly.

The tram arrives.

Wu Daiyouhe gave Tatsuhiko a provocative look, then got off the car.

The corners of Tatsuhiko's mouth curled up slightly.

It's really a little bit exciting.

the next morning.

Tatsuhiko continues to work with Sakuragi on defense.

Sakuragi's defensive level has taken a qualitative leap in these three days.

In the beginning, Sakuragi was always making various defensive mistakes.

Sometimes, because I was too anxious, I would be knocked down by Tatsuhiko.

But after these three days, Sakuragi's defense has become more and more oppressive.

Tatsuhiko relied on his super attacking ability to firmly suppress Sakuragi's defense.

If it were an ordinary player, I'm afraid there would be no chance to make a shot at all.

Tatsuhiko also lamented Sakuragi's talent more than once.

Different from ordinary people's physical fitness, almost inexhaustible physical strength, super bounce.

And the most important point is the ultra-fast response speed.

"Is it true that people who fight often have quick reactions?"

Tatsuhiko looked at Sakuragi who was defending him suspiciously.

"Why don't you attack, Tatsuhiko!"

Sakuragi said loudly.

"It's okay, I thought of something."

Tatsuhiko smiled and shook his head.

Subsequently, a beautiful dry pull, a direct three-point hit.

Although Sakuragi has kept up with Tatsuhiko's speed, he is still a little behind.

"Damn it, it was almost sealed."

Sakuragi said a little discouraged.

On the other hand, Tatsuhiko, who was opposite him, broke out in a cold sweat from being frightened.

Fortunately, he adjusted the position of his shot and shot ahead of time.

If it is the feel of the shot than the performance, the ball must have been blocked.

"You've defended well, Sakuragi."

Tatsuhiko patted Sakuragi on the shoulder.

"In Kanagawa, there are not many people who can completely guard against me, and you are one of them.

"Really?"

Sakuragi felt complacent again.

"It seems that I am really a basketball genius!"

Tatsuhiko was actually just encouraging him and telling Sakuragi not to be discouraged.

Sakuragi defends Tatsuhiko every day, and actually has a general idea of ​​Tatsuhiko's style of play.

Basically, as long as Tatsuhiko poses as a shooting threat, Sakuragi can roughly guess Tatsuhiko's offensive method.

But in the actual game, there are not so many observation opportunities.

The specific situation still needs specific analysis by Sakuragi.

"." That's for sure, Sakuragi, you are really good at playing basketball, and you learn too fast. "

Tatsuhiko praised Sakuragi without hesitation.

"Come on, let's have breakfast!"

"it is good!"

Sakuragi nodded happily.

After the training, the two passed by the field, but stopped at the same time.

"It's Haruko!"

Sakuragi was about to jump up in excitement.

"Does Haruko come out for shooting practice in the morning? Dragon

Yan, I won't eat breakfast!"

Tatsuhiko was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, Haruko came to practice basketball after running in the morning. It seems that Haruko really likes basketball.

"I'm going to train with Haruko!"

After saying that, Sakuragi rushed towards Haruko.

Tatsuhiko grabbed Sakuragi's arm in a hurry.

"Wait first!"

"what?"

There seemed to be question marks in Sakuragi's head.

Suddenly, the roar of a motorcycle rang in the ears of the two.

A man in a motorcycle suit rode directly to the field.

Haruko looked at the man in front of him in astonishment, and missed the shot.

The man took off his helmet, jumped high from the motorcycle, and scored the ball with a dunk.

Haruko looked at the man in front of him in shock.

"So tall! So strong"

The man took the ball in his hand and turned to look at Haruko.

There was love in his eyes.

"Play ball together? Miss, what's your name?"

"I?"

Haruko was confused.

"Yes! My name is Nango Koichiro, what about you?"

Haruko looked timidly at Koichiro Nango.

"Are you a basketball player too?"

"Of course, I'm Takeshi Tsuhisa's trump card!"

Nango Koichiro said confidently.

Tsukutake is a veteran strong team in Kanagawa County, in the quarterfinals.

And to be able to become a core player in such a team, he does have the capital to be proud.

"Tsukutake?"

Haruko muttered to himself.

"Isn't that Shohoku's next match?"

"what did you just say?"

Koichiro Nango took a step forward, trying to get closer to Haruko.

"Looks like Haruko is in trouble."

Seeing (Zhao Lihao) being strong, Tatsuhiko immediately asked Sakuragi to help.

Sakuragi was already impatient.

He didn't know why, but the man in military uniform didn't like it no matter what he looked at!

"Haruko! Good morning!"

Tatsuhiko slowly came out from the side.

And Sakuragi had already run in front of Nango Koichiro.

"Good morning, Tatsuhiko-san, Sakuragi-san."

Haruko greeted the two of them.

The hanging heart finally let go.

Being a Shohoku player made her feel more at ease.

"Tatsuhiko?"

Koichiro Nango's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Tatsuhiko who walked beside Haruko with disdain.

"Are you the so-called Kanagawa newcomer king?"

"If you're talking about a Shohoku player who scored 60 in Game 1 and Game 2, it's me."

Tatsuhiko responded mockingly.

"Hmph! It's just against teams like Miuradai and Kadono!"

"Remember my name, my name is Koichiro Nango, this year Shohoku met us and it was a big disaster!"

Nango Koichiro said provocatively.

"Oh?"

Tatsuhiko had a playful smile on his face.

"Just an idiot."

"you!"

Nango Koichiro was furious.

As Tsuji Takeshi's core player, when has he been so underestimated!

"I'm thinking, should I give you an unforgettable memory, for example, chop off sixty points on your heads?"

Tatsuhiko said softly.

For a team like Takeshi Tsuji, as long as he wants to score, it is not difficult to score 60 points!

"Stop dreaming!"

Nango Koichiro got on the motorcycle, and the roar sounded again.

"Let's see the real chapter on the field then!"

After finishing speaking, Nango Koichiro left on his motorcycle.

A burst of dust was raised, causing the pedestrians in the morning to curse non-stop.

Seeing that Nango Koichiro has left, Sakuragi, Tatsuhiko and Haruko are continuing to train.

Get ready for the match with Takeshi Tsuku!.
