Sakuragi's road to NBA superstardom

Chapter 50
The false movements that Nango Koichiro thinks are completely natural are extremely exaggerated in the eyes of Sakuragi Hanamichi. Nango Koichiro's fake turn did not make it right at all and turned to the other side.

Moreover, Sakuragi Hanamichi gave him some physical confrontation when he turned around behind him. The unbearable Nango Koichiro could only receive the ball. This disjointed inside action made him only hook on the spot.

So Sakuragi Hanamichi only needs to take off vertically and wait for the rabbit. Nango Koichiro's left hand obviously has a sense of frustration with his non-dominant hand.

A snappy cap!
But the ball was put back in Nango Koichiro's hands. Nango Koichiro squatted slightly, pretending to get up and shoot, but Sakuragi Hanamichi didn't shake at all.

Sakuragi Hanamichi took off after Nango Koichiro took off and blocked again!

If it is said that Hanamichi Sakuragi relied on his good reading ability and excellent judgment to block the game last time, then this time the block is completely crushed by physical fitness. The defense is relatively passive in offense, and Hanamichi Sakuragi can also strike late!

These two blocks with their own merits can be described as murderous!
Road to Superstar System: Consecutive excellent defense, continuous blocking, the current rating has been upgraded to B-level with 55 points.

The number of fans rose to 5128.

In the second block, Sakuragi Hanamichi directly slapped the ball, and the first point of the ball was taken by Mitsui Kotobuki.
Rukawa Kaede rushed all over the court and killed Tsukutake directly in the hinterland. With the three people from Tsukutake High School chasing and intercepting him, Rukawafeng still chose to force a layup.

No strikes!

Xiangbei's follow-up players also entered the penalty area to compete for offensive rebounds, and the three-second zone was crowded with people in a mess.

Akagi Takenori set the ball out of the three-point line in the crowd, Sakuragi Hanamichi quickly chased it out, and immediately controlled the ball.

At the same time, Mitsui Shou also came out, and Sakuragi Hanamichi saw Mitsui Shou who was in the posture of catching the ball, and he immediately passed the ball.

Mitsui Shou shot immediately after catching the ball, but such an obvious shot was met with the opponent's full defense.

The ball hit the back of the basket and bounced high. At this time, the space on the court has been opened, and the three-second zone is no longer crowded.

Yinggi Hanamichi, who is on the outside line, has sufficient space for the run-up, and the three-step approach is sufficient to take off, allowing Yinggi Hanamichi to obtain the maximum vertical thrust.

But Sakuragi Hanamichi, who rushed in from the outside, was still slightly behind the three who were still fighting for rebounds under the basket.

Koichiro Nango occupied the best rebounding position because of Wudai Yukazu's help to block Takenori Akagi.

The three took off together, and Nango Koichiro controlled the ball with both hands directly under the ball.

Just when Nango Koichiro thought he had successfully protected the backcourt rebound, Hanamichi Sakuragi flew from a distance and snatched the ball from Nango Koichiro directly in the air!
Sakuragi Flower Road is still rising!

Take the ball in the air!Make up the buckle with both hands!
In order to maintain balance, Hanamichi Sakuragi grabbed the rim hard after completing the dunk.

However, due to the huge forward inertia, Yingmu Huadao's lower limbs still swayed forward uncontrollably.

Sakuragi's legs slammed into the back of Nango Koichiro who hadn't landed yet. Nango Koichiro lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground with a dog gnawing shit.

And the ball that landed bounced forward again and again, and finally hit Nango Koichiro precisely on the back of the head and bounced away!

Road to Superstar System: Offensive rebounds +1, make-up points, and the current rating has increased by B+15 points.

This goal also became a microcosm of the confrontation between Sakuragi Hanamichi and Nango Koichiro in this game.

When the game came to the 10th minute, Takeshi Tsuhisa only scored a three-pointer. The three-pointer was scored by their defender who threw a frontal board when the attack time was about to expire.

28-3, in just 10 minutes, Xiangbei gained a huge lead of 25 points.

在这28分里，樱木花道独揽12分，其中10分来自隔扣南乡洸一郎5次，那两分来自于隔扣南乡洸一郎后的2+1罚篮。

Takeshi Tsukuda scored only 3 points as their two cores were completely restricted by Takenori Akagi and Hanamichi Sakuragi.

On the defensive end, Hanamichi Sakuragi also blasted Nango Koichiro to the outside and inside, with 4 frontal blocks, one chasing and defending the nail plate, and five blocks made Nango Koichiro scoreless!
Kazumi Kazumi, Tsukutake's coach, can only temporarily replace Koichiro Nango, so that he can calm down and try to regain his form.

After Tsuhisa Takeshi's ace center was replaced, everyone in Xiangbei immediately reached an invisible consensus, and everyone unanimously reduced the defensive intensity.

Because of Nango Koichiro's unreasonable provocation before the game, all the staff in Xiangbei were very annoyed. A student from a foreign school claimed that his school's school belle was his future girlfriend, and whoever it was would have to severely punish the opponent!
That's why in the opening 10 minutes, Xiangbei Unlimited's tactics against Nango Koichiro.

On offense, everyone kept looking for opportunities to play for Hanamichi Sakuragi. On defense, everyone kept consuming Koichiro Nango so that Hanamichi Sakuragi could block him more easily.

Because in the second round of the competition, Shohoku High School beat Kadono High School by 118 points, and was dubbed the No. [-] tragedy in Kanagawa by the media. This kind of public opinion campaign also put Shohoku High School under a lot of invisible pressure.

Therefore, what Coach Anxi means is that it is enough to win the opponent steadily, and if the point difference is too large, you can let it go appropriately.

After Nango Koichiro was replaced, Shohoku High School did not maintain the super intensity of the first 10 minutes of the game. At the end of the first half, the score came to 51-33.

Xiangbei High School came to the second half with a score advantage of 18 points.

During the intermission, the players from Tsukutake High School were all cheering up Nango Koichiro. Everyone was telling him that Haruko Akagi was on the sidelines, and he must regroup to defeat Shonhoku and Hanamichi Sakuragi.

Under the constant encouragement from his teammates and constant self-hypnosis, Nango Koichiro successfully forgot everything that happened in the first half and regained his confidence.

At the beginning of the second half, Nango Koichiro returned to the court again. As soon as they saw him appearing on the field, the members of the Shonhoku players gave each other a look. The starting five tigers of Shonhoku were going to target Nango Koichiro, the public enemy of Xiangbei, again.

As soon as Nango Koichiro gets the ball, Miyagi Ryota starts to harass, and the incomplete Nango Koichiro's inside attack is ruthlessly blocked by Sakuragi Hanamichi.

When attacking at Xiangbei High School, as long as Hanamichi Sakuragi has a good position, the ball holder will not make an empty basket, and the ball must be passed to Hanamichi Sakuragi.

As long as Sakuragi Hanamichi catches the ball, he will definitely dunk. If Nango Koichiro takes off and blocks the block, that would be great!

The anger of the Mamba kept hitting Nango Koichiro again and again!
