Sakuragi's road to NBA superstardom

Chapter 110 Counterpoint Hill
The appearance of Sakuragi made the fans of the home team puzzled, because no one knew this red-haired Asian face.

For the well-known Tim Duncan, fans of the home team have long been familiar with it, but no one can name the No. [-] player with Ying written on his back.

Even the commentators were not prepared for Coach Odom's substitution.

Rick Barry: "The Devil Deacon team replaced a first-year player from China, but I can't think of the significance of Coach Odom's replacement.

This player named Sakuragi is much thinner than JR Green. I don't think an Asian of this size can adapt to such a high-level confrontation.

Look, what kind of shoes is he wearing?
Those shoes are like rain boots in mud puddles! "

Rick Barry's tone was full of jokes, and he even teased the Milky Way spray on Sakuragi's feet.

Julius Owen: "I really can't guess what company designed such an ugly style!
These rain boots are not as good as the canvas basketball shoes I wore in that era!
Compared to those shoes, his master looked even more vulnerable.

I bet, this little man can't even touch the basket, it seems that the Devil Deacon team really has no one to use. "

As the first player to play at the rim, Dr. J. Julius Erving was skeptical of Sakuragi's physicality.

Kevin McHale: "I think the top priority of the Devil Deacon team is how to activate Tim Duncan's offensive firepower, but the player who replaced him obviously does not have such a role."

Unlike the other two commentators, Kevin McHale, known as the No. [-] white power forward, cared more about the younger generation he admired very much. But while caring about Duncan, he also did not forget to mention Sakuragi.

This is the style of American commentators, they never take into account the feelings of the weak.

Regarding Sakuragi's playing, Duke University teammates directly showed disdain on their faces. Of course, the gentleman Grant Hill did not have any prejudice against Sakuragi's yellow skin.

Sakuragi doesn't care about what other people think of him at all, the only thing he has to do is to seize this precious opportunity, and he wants to do everything possible to stay on the court!
The Devil Deacon team attacked, and Alan Miller advanced quickly. Coach Odom's only requirement for Alan Miller was to hand over the ball to Duncan smoothly.

But under Duke University's defensive system, such a common-sounding thing is extremely difficult.

Antonio Long's shrinking defense and Cherokee Parks' forward movement made it impossible for Alan Miller to pass the ball to Duncan.

Alan Miller saw that Antonio Lang was gradually moving away from him and sticking to Duncan. He was eager to chase points and directly made a three-pointer!

But the Devil's Deacon team is in the rhythm of the game, and Alan Miller's three-pointer hits the iron directly!
Before Alan Miller made a shot, Sakuragi silently slipped to the right half of the court. That area is the area with the highest probability of rebounds landing after Alan Miller misses a three-pointer.

During the training process, Sakuragi has been observing the shooting habits of each teammate. Such silent efforts have finally reached the moment of harvest!
As Sakuragi expected, the rebound fell to the area he expected, but the ball flew over the heads of the centers of the two teams in an unbiased manner.

Two 210CM+ big centers are desperately pushing each other, and they both want to get a better rebounding position.

The rebound bounced high, which gave Sakuragi a chance to grab the rebound.

In the case of no confrontation, Sakuragi's vertical jump level is not inferior to most of the physical fitness men in the NCAA!
Sakuragi rushed to the point where the backboard landed, and exploded with strong inertia!
A big yellow hand unexpectedly appeared on top of two giant black palms!Sakuragi hit the ball first!
The height of Sakuragi's fingertips is at least [-] meters!His elbow seems to go over the rim!

The fans at the scene were all shocked by the terrifying vertical jump of this little yellow man, and the whole stadium erupted in exclamation!
However, due to the physical confrontation after the jump, Sakuragi could not effectively control the rebound. He adapts to the situation and directly points the ball to the basket in the air!

A tip-up from top to bottom!
This kind of action, which is almost never used in normal times, allowed Sakuragi to miss his first NCAA career point, but Duncan, who was circled forward, appeared closer to the basket.

Duncan got a solid position and successfully received offensive rebounds.

Duncan was ready to make a strong move at the basket, but Sakuragi's loud shout made Duncan change his mind.

Sakuragi: "Tim, here!"

After Sakuragi missed a tip-up, he slipped directly outside the three-point line in the right corner.

Duncan, who has missed consecutive free throws, faced the opponent's fierce defense, jumped up and passed the ball directly, and passed the ball to the unmarked Sakuragi.

Road to Superstar System: Sakuragi and Duncan have a [-]% chemical reaction, increasing the success rate of ordinary cooperation.

Duncan's pass hit Sakuragi's chest directly. This kind of strength and angle pass will bring the shooter the most comfortable rhythm.

Thousands of times of tempering created the perfect movement in the game, the catch and jump shot were completed in one go, the ball crossed a perfect arc, and entered the net hollowly!
Sakuragi scored the first goal of his NCAA career, a long three-pointer!

There was a performance on the field, Sakuragi roared to the sky!

The fans of the Devil's Deacon team also cheered loudly for this Asian face!

Road to Superstar System: Offensive rebounds, three-pointers, and the current rating has been raised from C-level 60 points to C+10 points.

After the number of fans was reset, it reached 1776!
Although Sakuragi's three-pointer boosted morale, there was still a gap of 24 points in the point difference, but this three-pointer was just the offensive horn that had just sounded.

There is still a huge point difference, and the members of the Devil's Deacon team have no hope of chasing points again, which also leads to the failure of Sakuragi's spiritual attribute gain effect to be triggered.

There was an exciting performance when he appeared on the stage, which made ESPN's commentary team fall into an embarrassing silence.

The Duke University Blue Devils served the ball, and Sakuragi didn't even look at the ball, sticking it directly to Grant Hill.

Grant Hill was not surprised by this kind of defense like a dog skin plaster, but he was a little surprised that the plaster was applied while the ball was still serving.

Sakuragi is already the fourth member of the Devil Deacon team to be sent by coach Odom to defend Grant Hill in this game. As for the effectiveness of Sakuragi's defense, coach Odom can only silently pray to God.

Antonio Lang's true level is obviously higher than that of Alan Miller.

Under the defense of Alan Miller, Antonio Lang's dribbling still appeared to be with ease, and he even showed fancy moves that only street basketball had before halftime.
