Chapter 125 He Guang vs. Nan Yu (Part )
"Yohei, is the schedule out?" Two days later, Sakuragi and Yohei came to Xiangbei High School for training as usual. Mu Mu asked
"Senior Mugure, the schedule is out. Next Sunday, our first match will be against Nanyu Middle School. The second match will be on the following Saturday, against Kainan Junior High School. The next day is the final match, against Togaoka Junior High School," Mito Yohei answered.
"Tomagaoka Junior High School? The last match was going to be a fierce battle." Mugure thought of Rukawa Kaede in the original work.
"That's right. The first game of the quarterfinals was against Toigaoka Junior High School. We also watched it. Toigaoka Junior High School has a player named Rukawa Kaede who has strong offensive ability and scored 37 points by himself. Even three double-teams from the opposing team couldn't defend him." Yohei nodded, agreeing with Murasakibara's statement.
"That guy called Rukawa Kaede is indeed quite capable, but that's because he hasn't met a strong opponent. When he faces us, Wako Junior High School, he will find himself hitting a wall. That wall is me, Sakuragi Hanamichi." Sakuragi said with confidence.
"Oh... it's really a headache." Murasaki spread his hands helplessly. "Okay, Sakuragi, Yohei. You have to train hard these few days and be in the best condition to face the Junior High School Semi-finals. We will go and cheer for you."
"Yes!" Sakuragi and Yohei continued to train seriously.
It was Sunday, and the Xiangbei team came to the scene as promised to cheer for Kazuko. Sakuragi noticed the Xiangbei team members and waved to them.
"It's a player from Xiangbei." An audience member followed Sakuragi's gesture and noticed the players from Xiangbei. Xiangbei has emerged as a new force in the past two years and is well known by the audience in the county. "It seems that Sakuragi is planning to go to Xiangbei. Then Xiangbei will be stronger next year and Hainan's position will be seriously threatened." As the junior high school competition progressed, with his strong physical fitness and explosive dunks, the name Sakuragi Hanamichi gradually became known to the audience.
"Sakuragi Hanamichi, you can't be as eye-catching as in the previous game, because you met me." A player from Nanyu Middle School walked up to Sakuragi and said arrogantly
"Hmm? Player No. 5 from Nanyu Middle School is also quite tall." Akagi noticed this player.
"So it's him..." From the two strands of golden hair that were dyed on the No. 5 player, Mu Mu recognized that this man was the center forward of the original novel, Nakatsu Hisatake, Nango Koichirō.
"Who are you?" Sakuragi was confused.
"Remember, my name is Nango Koichirō, and I will defeat you."
"Defeat this genius and practice some more."
After the players from both teams finished warming up, the starting players formed a circle, and the referee threw the ball high into the air, and the match between Heguang and Nanyu began!
Wako is wearing a white jersey. The starting lineup is center No. 6 Sakuragi Hanamichi, power forward No. 4 Oda Ryumasa, small forward: No. 7 Nagaishi Furu, shooting guard: No. 10 Ogawa Noriyuki, point guard: No. 5 Mito Yohei.
Nanyu is wearing a green jersey. The starting lineup is center No. 5 Nanxiang Koichiro, power forward No. 7, small forward No. 4, shooting guard No. 8, point guard No. 6 (too lazy to come up with a name)
Sakuragi and Nango jumped high at the same time, fighting for the ball, and they were evenly matched!
"Sure, Golden Monkey!" Sakuragi exerted force, and Nanxiang Koichiro also exerted force at the same time, but no one got the ball at the first try. The ball was still in the air, and the two centers jumped again. This time, Sakuragi had the upper hand and passed the ball to Mito Yohei.
"Sakuragi's physical fitness is amazing, but the No. 5 is also good. If we can get one of them, the inside line will not be empty anymore." It turned out that Tanaka Shigeka also quietly came to the scene to select players. His original intention was to watch Sakuragi Hanamichi and Oda. The result was an unexpected gain.
"The physical fitness of No. 5 is quite good. He can even tie with Sakuragi. Even for me, it is not easy to beat Sakuragi in the fight for the ball." As a center, Akagi also noticed Minamigo's excellent qualities.
"No. 5 looks a little taller than Sakuragi, and his wingspan is longer. This is his innate advantage. It's not surprising that he can be on par with Sakuragi in height. But his strength is indeed good," Mitsui also commented.
"Although No. 5 still lost, he was still the first player to tie with Sakuragi." The opening scramble left a deep impression on the audience.
Back on the court, Mito Yohei dribbled the ball, suddenly accelerated, and passed the defense of the opponent's point guard to "get two points first" Mito Yohei layup
"It's not that simple." A dark shadow loomed over Mito Yohei
"What?" Mito Yohei was shocked.
"Although Nango is tall, he is also very fast." The Shohoku players present were also very surprised, and the one who came to backup defense was none other than Nango Koichiro!
"Bang!" Nanxiang gave Mito Yohei a big dunk! Nanyu's defender got the ball and made a long pass. There were Nanyu players in front to meet him. The players of Wako Junior High School did not expect that Mito Yohei's ball would be intercepted. There was no one defending in the backcourt, and Nanyu took the lead!
"Sorry, this ball is my fault" Mito Yohei took the blame
"It's okay, Mito-san. No one expected that Nango was so fast. Let's play steadily in the next ball." Captain Oda comforted Yohei, and Yohei nodded.
"We counterattack" Mito Yohei changes speed again. The opponent's point guard is no match for Mito Yohei and is passed by Mito Yohei again. Yohei breaks into the inside and makes another layup
"How naive! Haven't you had enough hotpot?" Nanxiang rushed over again. As long as Mito Yohei made a move, it would definitely be another big hat trick.
Hehe..." Mito Yohei smiled coldly, took the ball, and passed it from Nanxiang's armpit.
"Good pass, Yohei." Just as Nanxiang was stunned, a figure almost as tall as him rose from the ground, grabbed the flying basketball and slammed it with both hands. It was Sakuragi!
"Who is naive? I expected you to do this." Mito Yohei and Nanxiang looked at each other, left this sentence, and turned away.
"It was actually a pass," Nanxiang felt that he was fooled by Mito Yohei, "Give me the next ball," Nanxiang said to his defender.
Nanyu served the ball from the baseline, and the point guard received the ball and rushed forward quickly. This was Nanyu's style. Nanxiang was in the paint. Once the opponent's attack failed, Nanxiang grabbed the rebound and immediately launched a pass. Nanyu's players could launch a counterattack, and Nanxiang's speed was not slow, so he could keep up with the fast break. Relying on this fast break tactic, the previously unknown Nanyu made it to the county's semi-finals.
"Everyone, pay attention to Nanyu's quick attack." Sanmao Yifu also carefully studied each opponent before the game and had a better understanding of Nanyu's tactics. The players of Heguang Middle School also began to follow their own defensive targets.
Nanyu’s No. 6 brought the ball to the frontcourt, and Mito Yohei had already caught up. “It’s not that easy to attack with speed,” Mito Yohei was very confident in his speed.
"It's really tough," Team member No. 6 muttered, and suddenly attacked.
"Shoot a three-pointer?" Mito Yohei was surprised. "So hasty? Are the inside players in position? No, it's a pass." Mito Yohei remembered the shot that was blocked at the beginning of the game. Nanxiang was able to keep up. "Hamichi, be careful of the alley-oop," Mito Yohei turned around and reminded loudly.
Nanxiang got the ball and dunked it directly
"Golden monkey, don't even think about dunking!" Sakuragi, who was prepared, had already followed and slapped the basketball in Nanxiang's hand with his powerful palm.
"Hmph..." Nanxiang sneered, and his tall body displayed unimaginable coordination in the air. He shook off Sakuragi's block with his right hand and switched it to his left hand. Then he slammed the ball into the basket through Sakuragi!
"White No. 6 committed a foul, the goal counts, one penalty kick"
