The talent of slam dunk is overwhelming

Senior Team

Center: Takenori Akagi, height 197cm.

Power forward: Satoru Tsunoda, height 180cm.

Small forward: Kimibu Nobuhi, height 178cm.

Shooting guard: Tetsuji Shiozaki, height 170cm.

Point guard: Yasuda Yasuhiro. Height 164cm.

Except for the position of point guard. Because Miyagi has not returned yet, he was replaced by Yasuda. The other positions in the senior team are all the main players from last year....However, the actual record in the first round of the county competition does not explain everything.

"Last year, Kimaku's shooting was probably not fully developed. Tsunoda and the others were only in the first year, and their skills were too immature. As long as they controlled Akagi's strong point, they could completely strangle the Shohoku team, and it seemed logical that they would advance to the first round."

If it were changed now, Hanamichi felt that as long as it didn't encounter a too strong team, it wouldn't be a big problem for the senior team to win one or two games. He didn't dwell on this and looked at his first-year team.

Center : Hanamichi Sakuragi, height 188cm

Power forward: Kaede Rukawa, height 187cm

Small forward: Satoshi Sasaka, height 171cm

Shooting guard: Kentaro Ishii, height 170cm

Point guard: Nobori Kuwata, height 162cm

In terms of height, first-year team Obviously there is some disadvantage, but with the two strong points of Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede, in terms of overall strength, he is definitely better.

Moreover, in amateur level competition, height does not explain everything.

Just like now~

"beep~~"

As the game whistle sounded, Caiko threw the basketball high.

They didn't take off immediately. When the basketball reached the highest point and was about to fall, Hanamichi and Akagi jumped up from the ground.

The height difference of nearly ten centimeters was useless in the face of Hanamichi's powerful explosive power and jumping ability.

"Bang~"

Rukawa Kaede took the lead and passed the basketball to his side, ignoring the shocked Akagi. The moment Hanamichi landed, he ran out like a cheetah. The reaction of the senior team was also unpleasant. Slowly, and apparently having discussed it before, Kimaku and Yasuda moved directly towards Rukawa Kaede, who had already reached the three-point line, and stopped him.

But for a while, they were unable to steal the ball. After all, Rukawa Kaede's ball-handling skills are not weak.

That is to say, when Rukawa Kaede stopped, Hanamichi had already reached the three-point line. Without stopping at all, he ran directly to the basket. In a few steps, he had already arrived. Within the free throw line, facing Hanamichi rushing towards him like an armored vehicle, Tsunoda was a little at a loss.

It was at this moment that

"careful~！"

Akagi's shouts echoed throughout the venue.

I saw Rukawa Kaede throw a high pass, and the basketball drew a beautiful arc and came to the top of the basket. A big hand appeared in time, and pressed it directly into the basket through Tsunoda.

"boom~！"

One-handed alley-oop!

This scene, which could only be seen on TV, made everyone present stunned.

Looking at Hanamichi hanging on the basket with one arm, I was a little crazy for a moment.

"good...Bravo!"

"Sakuragi's head was parallel to the basket just now, right?!"

"Is this really something a high school student can do?!!"

"Tsunoda is so pitiful..."

"......"

At this time, no one noticed that Coach Anzai, who was sitting on a chair and sipping tea, had stood up at some point. He completely ignored the tea splashed on his hands and stared straight at Hanamichi. full of heat

"Top talent...Wizard!"

Return to the field

"My physical fitness seems to be stronger than when I first traveled through time. Is it due to physical growth or the benefits of time traveling?"

Letting go of his palms and falling safely to the ground, Hanamichi recovered his mind and strolled up to Rukawa Kaede, who was standing at the free throw line, and clapped his palms.

"Beautiful delivery~"

"Your dunk is pretty good too~" Rukawa Kaede responded coldly, then turned around and walked towards his half of the court.

"Her personality is really arrogant."

After getting along with each other for this period of time, Hanamichi has a good understanding of Rukawa Kaede's character. This guy is a tsundere who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Although he has unique attributes, as long as he doesn't hit his head, he is still willing to Passing the ball.

Of course, the premise is that your strength can be recognized by him.

The game continues~

Due to the existence of team spirit Akagi, the senior team quickly calmed down, but the eyes that looked over were obviously different from before. Different.

In competitive sports, the strong are respected, and strength speaks for itself.

Hanamichi is obviously a strong one!

The offense of the senior team must revolve around Akagi. Hanamichi, who understands this, will naturally not give the opponent a chance. After comparing Due to the size of himself and Akagi, he decisively chose to defend forward.

"You're such a well-hidden guy...."Akagi said in surprise.

He originally thought that he could defeat Hanamichi by relying on his advantages in height and strength, but after the actual contact, he was surprised to find that, not to mention height, Hanamichi was able to withstand him in terms of strength.

Coupled with the advantage of forward defense, Akagi really couldn't find a good way for a while.

The direct consequence was that the senior team's offense stagnated.

Seeing that their side had an obvious advantage, the other three first-year students were all highly motivated and immediately pressed forward.

Rukawa Kaede directly intercepted the ball passed by Yasuda to Kimaku, dribbled the ball smoothly, and ended the attack with an elegant slam dunk.

"hateful~！"

Recalling Hanamichi's previous grouping proposal in his mind, Akagi's face became more serious. He didn't want to lose!

However, the reality is cruel.

In the next few rounds, under the repeated bombing and close cooperation between Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede, and with Akagi's strong point being completely restricted, the senior team was defeated one after another.

22:2

The first-year team is in front and the senior team is in the back. The point difference has reached 20 points!

At this moment, Coach Anzai, who had been speechless, walked to the sidelines and said:"Rukawa Kaede and Kimaku exchange teams."

"Ginger is still spicy, but it’s still a bit challenging."

Seeing Kaede Rukawa, who had exchanged vests with Kimu, looking at him with fighting intent, Hanamichi grinned and smiled at Kimu who walked up to him:"Senior Kimu, I heard about your shooting. good"

"The shooting percentage is okay when no one is guarding, but not when someone is guarding."Mumu smiled bitterly.

Naturally, he knew his abilities very well. Confrontation was a flaw, and he was not tall enough.

"That's enough, try to run out of space and I'll pass the ball to you"

"good~！"

Somehow, Kimu subconsciously felt that Hanamichi was very reliable, so he chose to trust him.

Afterwards, Hanamichi discussed the next tactics with Kuwata and the other three, and then signaled Ayako to continue the game.

As the whistle sounded again, the second round of the two sides began.
