Long Yan woke up in the hospital bed.
I actually traveled to the world of Slam Dunk.
Awaken the god-level basketball training system and gain the full-court shooting skills of Midorima Shintaro in the black basketball at the beginning.
Scared everyone.
On the premise of loving basketball, I continue to train and grow quickly.
Xiangbei High School? Stopped in the semifinals?
No, this is not what Long Yan wants to see. Dominating the world, not the country, is Long Yan’s goal.
The first step is to start from the Xiangbei Basketball Hall.
Start your dream-chasing journey.
Slam dunk, 100% three-point shooting at the start
Chapter 1 I traveled through time?
Shohoku High School in Kanagawa Prefecture.
The sky was as clear as a piece of blue paper, and the sparse white clouds, as if melted by the sun, floated slowly in the wind.
School infirmary.
A young man in a student uniform was lying on the bed. He rubbed his head with his hands and slowly opened his eyes.
What comes into view is the snow-white curtains.
“This? Where is this?”
He struggled to stand up and spoke with difficulty.
Then he pulled aside the curtain with his hands and looked out the window.
The scene before him startled him.
The big words “Kanagawa Prefecture Shohoku High School” filled his eyes.
In an instant, the tiredness I felt in my body disappeared.
He said in disbelief: “No way, I actually came to the world of Slam Dunk?”
This person’s name is Long Yan.
That’s right.
He is also a time traveler.
Before traveling through time, he was watching the anime Slam Dunk at home. When he was watching it with great excitement, an accident happened. The screen flashed with dazzling light, and forcibly sucked him into the world of Slam Dunk.
at this time.
Long Yan didn’t care to be shocked.
Memories played in his mind like a revolving lantern.
Long Yan, an international student at Xiangbei High School, is 1.8 meters tall, weighs 68 kilograms, is a beginner in basketball… and settled in Japan.
He reached out and pinched his face hard.
“Hiss! It hurts!”
What does the pain mean? He was not dreaming, but he had indeed traveled through time.
I couldn’t help but say in my heart.
“It seems this is not fake. I really have traveled to the world of Slam Dunk.”
After calming down your inner restlessness.
Crunch!
The door of the school infirmary opened.
“Classmate, are you feeling better?”
A middle-aged man in a white coat with a doctor’s license hanging on his chest walked in and asked about Long Yan’s condition with a smile.
Long Yan was stunned for a moment.
“Ahem, thank you teacher, I’m fine now.”
He replied politely.
As far as he could remember, today was the first day the basketball team reported for duty. He suddenly fainted, perhaps because of the time travel.
Seeing this, the school doctor reached out and placed his hand on Long Yan’s forehead, then examined him again and smiled.
“Classmate, you are fine now. You are a member of the basketball team, right? You must do your best this year!”
After Long Yan fainted, Akagi and others brought him over. After finding out that he was not seriously injured, they went back to training.
And he naturally thought that Long Yan was a member of the basketball team.
Long Yan also suddenly realized that it was Akagi and the others.
interesting.
I have long wanted to see the legendary gorilla, as well as Sakuragi Hanamichi, Rukawa Kaede, Ayako, Haruko…
then.
After saying goodbye to the school doctor, he prepared to go to the basketball court to take a look.
Just as he stepped out of the school infirmary.
【bite!】
An extremely cold mechanical voice sounded in Long Yan’s mind.
[Host awakening detected][Activate the system now]【System Binding】
……
“Nari? System?”
Long Yan was shocked when he heard the voice of the system.
“Is this the legendary benefit for time travelers?”
As we all know, time travelers usually have their own system. Now he is looking forward to what kind of system this will be.
【Congratulations to the host】
【Awakening God-level Basketball Training System】
Hearing the voice of the system, Long Yan was slightly surprised.
A god-level basketball training system? What is this?
[The system will arrange training tasks, and the host will receive rewards as long as they are completed on time]As if knowing the doubts in Long Yan’s mind, the system began to explain.
“Oh? A mission?”
Just when Long Yan was still confused.
【Mission: Meet all the players on the basketball team! 】
[Reward: A novice gift pack]What the hell? Is this so sudden?
The task was not as difficult as imagined.
But what is this novice gift pack?
“Forget it, let’s go to the basketball court first and take a look after completing the task.”
If you want to meet a basketball team, then of course you should go to a basketball gym.
So.
He stretched and walked towards the basketball hall according to his memory.

ActivityRegister as a Filo member and get 200 points![Register Now]Chapter 2 starts with a big bomb, full-court shooting skills! (Old version)
Xiangbei High School, basketball hall.
Located in a corner on the south side of the school.
Inside the basketball hall, the players have already started their respective training.
As soon as Long Yan stepped into the basketball hall, his handsome face and upright posture instantly attracted the attention of many female students present.
“Wow! Look, that guy is so handsome, is he also on the basketball team?”
“How come I haven’t seen such a good-looking classmate before?”
“I wonder if his basketball skills are as good as Rukawa Kaede.”
For a while, after seeing Long Yan’s appearance, many female students instantly became his fans.
Beauty is justice and it is not just talk.
I heard the female students discussing.
Long Yan also responded politely.
“Wow! He actually smiled at me.”
“So shy!”
The female students who were originally discussing Long Yan’s looks suddenly had love in their eyes, and then put their hands on their cheeks, feeling as if their bodies were melting, and swayed from side to side.
Long Yan was also a little surprised. It seemed that his appearance in this life was good enough and he could enjoy the convenience brought by his appearance.
Then he turned his eyes to the basketball court.
Everyone was so busy training that they didn’t notice his arrival.
“I wonder if this counts as completing the mission?”
He counted and found that almost everyone on the basketball team was present.
Immediately following.
[Host completes the task]【Get a new member gift pack】
[Is it enabled]The system voice appeared.
Long Yan nodded secretly. It seemed that the tasks for novices were surprisingly simple.
He had played many games before traveling through time, and the tasks when he was a rookie were as simple as they could be.
Then the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile.
“A newbie gift pack? It looks like my road to awakening is about to begin.”
He listened to the system’s voice and felt excited.
He had a basketball dream since he was a child, but his parents were strict in his previous life.
What he often said was “Study, study, what good will it do if you play basketball?”
This also made Long Yan very distressed, but now that he had traveled to the world of Slam Dunk, and had this cheating system, wouldn’t he be able to fly?
“open!”
Full of expectations.
[Rewards: Beginner dribbling skills, Midorima Shintaro full-court shooting skills]Long Yan raised his eyebrows.
Look at the rewards given by the system.
Dribbling for beginners is just the appetizer, the rewards that follow are the most important.
I couldn’t help but take a breath.
“Fuck, this skill is awesome.”
I couldn’t help but recall that in Kuroko’s Basketball, all the balls that Midorima Shintaro threw had a very high parabola, and as long as his posture was not disrupted, his shots were 100% accurate. However, the preparation time would increase with the increase in distance, which was one of his weaknesses.
But these are harmless.
Just as he was secretly rejoicing.
A curtain of light that only he could see appeared in his eyes.
It was Long Yan’s personal attribute panel.
[Host: Long Yan]【Height: 180 cm】
【Weight: 68 kg】
[Physical Strength: D][Speed: D+][Strength: C][Bounce: B-][Skill: Full-court, range-free projection skill][Note: D is passing 60-69, C is average 70-79, B is excellent 80-89, A is perfect 90-99]“Huh? Are you so weak?”
Long Yan looked at the ordinary panel, especially the physical strength, which only had a D, and was immediately stunned.
I originally thought he would be a genius among geniuses, but I didn’t expect him to be a weakling. His jumping ability was just barely passable, which really hit his self-esteem.
When he was lost.
The skill attribute panel also appeared in his sight.
[Basic dribbling skill, which makes the host dribbling more smoothly. At the same time, the physical strength consumed when dribbling is only 70% of normal dribbling.][Full-court, no-range shooting skill, the host can shoot from anywhere on the court, with a 100% hit rate, and physical energy consumption depends on the shooting distance]Long Yan carefully looked at the property panel.
I nodded secretly, it’s a good skill.
Basic dribbling is not bad, at least it can increase the fluency of dribbling, and the most important point is that the physical energy consumed when dribbling is 30% less than that consumed by normal dribbling. For him who originally has poor physical strength, it is indeed a good skill.
As for full-court, no-range shooting, although the farther the distance, the more physical energy is consumed, it is still terrifyingly strong. You have to know that an international basketball game only lasts 40 minutes, how much energy can be consumed?
It seems necessary to improve various physical data as soon as possible.
All of them reached A level? It’s scary to think about it.
instantly.
Long Yan felt his blood boiling and began to imagine the peerless beauty that would follow.
“Long Yan, why are you in the basketball hall?”
The playful Ayako spotted Long Yan sitting on the sidelines and quickly walked over to ask.
“Oh? Ayako?”
Long Yan looked at Ayako, who had slightly dark skin and big wavy hair, and felt a little surprised.
“Um, hello, Ayako-senpai, the school doctor said I’m fine now.”
He waved his arm in polite greeting.
Ayako looked Long Yan up and down. Apart from being handsome, there didn’t seem to be anything special about him, but he was a kind person.
Then she reached out and patted Long Yan on the shoulder and smiled.
“Haha, I’m glad you’re alright. Now that you’re here, let’s go meet everyone first!”
As a member of a basketball team, it is unacceptable if you don’t even know your teammates.
Long Yan looked at the outgoing Ayako and shook his head in his heart.
“Ah! It’s exactly the same as in the original book.”
Then he smiled at Ayako.
“Okay! I’ve been wanting to meet you guys for a long time!”

Chapter 3 training officially begins! (Old version)
Basketball hall.
The air is filled with the smell of hormones.
corner.
A tall man with a fiery red punk hairdo was squatting on the ground, staring blankly at the court.
“Damn it! This genius was actually assigned to do basic training.”
“Damn gorilla.”
He weakly slapped the basketball with his hands and kept muttering to himself.
This person is none other than the leader of the Sakuragi Army, Hanamichi Sakuragi, who has no special skills but likes to call himself a genius.
Since he had no basic knowledge of basketball, he was arranged to undergo basic basketball training when he joined the team today, which made him very unhappy.
“Bang!”
Just as he was muttering, a cardboard hit him hard on the butt.
“Sakuragi Hanamichi! Pay attention.”
Ayako brought Ryuhiko behind Sakuragi Hanamichi and scolded him.
“Ah! Who on earth is this bastard who dares to…”
Sakuragi Hanamichi said as he turned around.
Next second.
“Ah? Ayako, I’m a genius. I don’t need to train like ordinary people.”
When Sakuragi Hanamichi saw Ayako, his fiery eyes suddenly became clear, and he pouted his lips and said with a look of grievance.
“You come too.”
Ayako ignored Sakuragi Hanamichi and turned to look at Ryuhiko.
As Caizi spoke.
Long Yan walked slowly to Sakuragi Hanamichi.
“Oh? Beginner, are you okay?”
Sakuragi Hanamichi had met Ryuhiko when he reported. As they were both beginners, his originally unhappy heart seemed to find a little comfort.
“Oh, it’s okay. Thank you for your concern, Sakuragi-san.”
When Long Yan saw the carefree Sakuragi Hanamichi, his eyes couldn’t help but twitch.
“Beginner? That’s the nickname you’ve been given.”
But this was indeed the Sakuragi Hanamichi in his memory. If the latter became restrained, he would begin to doubt whether he had really traveled to the world of Slam Dunk.
As a beginner, Caizi naturally asked him to dribble the ball.
Long Yan picked up the basketball.
Sakuragi Hanamichi smiled slyly.
At the same time, the body also moves one step to the left.
“Beginner, it’s great to have you accompany me, hahaha.”
I thought he was the only one who needed to practice the basics, but I didn’t expect Long Yan to be assigned to dribble as well.
This made him feel happy.
When Long Yan heard what Sakuragi Hanamichi said, he sighed helplessly.
“What a naive fellow.”
He has basic dribbling skills, so how could he be the same as Sakuragi Hanamichi who has no basic skills?
The dribble is only temporary.
Ayako picked up a basketball and threw it at Ryuhiko.
And he explained in detail some of the key points of dribbling.
Long Yan nodded.
“Ayako-senpai, I understand.”
As he said this, he began to dribble the ball.
at first.
When I got to the basketball, my technique was still a little unfamiliar, but after a while.
“Pah, pah, pah!”
His dribbling speed became more and more skillful, as if it was innate.
This made Caizi’s brows and face change slightly.
“You’re telling me this is for beginners?”
“Isn’t this a good dribble?”
Compared with a plate of Sakuragi Hanamichi, there is a world of difference.
At this time.
Long Yan’s dribbling also attracted Akagi’s attention.
“Hmm? That guy, has he come back yet?”
“He has good dribbling skills, but I don’t know how strong he is.”
When he just reported, Long Yan had dribbled the ball, and it was hard to describe.
Compared with now, there has been a lot of progress.
Sakuragi Hanamichi couldn’t help but frowned as he watched Ryuhiko dribbling faster and faster.
I couldn’t help but stand up in amazement.
“Huh? Long Yan, you are faster than a genius like me in dribbling?”
“Unforgivable!”
He looked down at the basketball in his hand.
As if he was angry, he moved quickly.
But the good times didn’t last long. During the third dribble, the basketball disappeared.
Seeing this, Ayako couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
“Hahaha, Sakuragi Hanamichi, you should stop being so angry and lay a good foundation first, and go slower.”
I have to say that she knows Sakuragi Hanamichi very well.
Long Yan, who was standing aside, turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside and focused on dribbling the ball in his hands.
[Congratulations to the host: voluntarily dribbling a thousand times]【Get Reward: Super Start】
Look at this sudden reward.
Long Yan was a little confused. Is this possible?
I have to say that the system is still somewhat humane.
Is it possible that in addition to the tasks assigned by the system, one can also obtain rewards based on the host’s spontaneous training?
Then I quickly checked the effect of Super Start.
[Like the first step of lightning, no one can stop the first step]Suddenly.
He was delighted.
Even if it is just basic dribbling, coupled with this super start, his strength cannot be underestimated.
and.
Based on the original work.
I’m afraid the team training matches will start soon.
You can give it a try.
at the same time.
A fat, kind, white-haired old man wearing glasses was walking towards the basketball court.
Chapter 4 Team Training? Just what I want! (Old Version)
The old man came to the basketball court and sat down on a chair.
Then he called Akagi’s name.
Hear the old man’s voice.
Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was naturally active, half-closed his eyes and threw the basketball in his hand aside.
Here’s your chance to be lazy.
He came to the old man in a flash.
“Hey, old man, this is not the place for you to come. It would be bad if you get hurt.”
As he said this, he clamped the old man’s arms with both hands and walked out the door.
Sakuragi’s actions made the senior players’ faces change drastically.
“Sakuragi Hanamichi!!”
However, due to Sakuragi Hanamichi’s reputation, he could only watch Sakuragi Hanamichi’s rude behavior.
At this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi was completely unaware of this.
A powerful fist landed on top of Sakuragi Hanamichi’s head.
“Get your dirty hands off me, asshole!”
Akagi’s face turned red, releasing heat like a steam engine.
It was obvious that he was very angry about Sakuragi Hanamichi’s actions.
“ah!”
“Damn ape, what are you doing?”
Sakuragi Hanamichi threw the old man aside and stared at Akagi angrily.
“Asshole, that’s Coach Anxi!”
Akagi Takenori threw another punch, hitting Sakuragi Hanamichi hard on the head.
Even Sakuragi Hanamichi couldn’t withstand two consecutive heavy blows from Takenori Akagi.
He fell to the ground on the spot, covering his injured head with his hands, muttering to himself.
Seeing the anger about to explode in the two of them.
Murasakibara quickly came to Sakuragi Hanamichi, pulled him over, and explained his identity as an old man.
And after dealing with the troublemaker Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Akagi hurriedly trotted to the old man and bowed respectfully to apologize.
“Coach Anxi, I’m sorry.”
“Please forgive his ignorance!”
Apology to Akagi.
The white-haired old man smiled slowly.
“Ha, ha, ha! Akagi, don’t take it to heart. This year’s freshmen are quite energetic.”
Akagi blushed and apologized sincerely again.
Long Yan was watching this funny scene from the side. The old man was the famous Coach Anxi, also known as the White-haired Devil. He is currently the coach of the Xiangbei basketball team.
“All of them, assemble!!”
After Akagi apologized, he let out a powerful roar that echoed throughout the basketball arena.
Everyone quickly stood in two rows.
“Coach Anzai!!”
Then they greeted each other in unison and loudly.
“Yohoho, not bad, not bad, I saw a lot of new faces this year.”
Coach Anxi’s eyes slowly swept over everyone.
When he saw Long Yan, he couldn’t help but frown. He didn’t see any cowardice in Long Yan’s eyes, but full of fighting spirit. This feeling seemed a little familiar.
After looking around for a week.
He only found three freshmen who satisfied him.
The first one is the energetic Sakuragi Hanamichi, the second one is Rukawa Kaede who is known as the Rookie King, and the third one is the mediocre Ryuhiko.
“I’m here to announce a question.”
“In a week, we will have a friendly practice match with Ryonan High School, which is also in Kanagawa Prefecture.”
…
When they heard Coach Anzai mention Ryonan High School, a solemn look flashed across the eyes of the second-year players such as Murasakibara, as if they were shrouded in a terrifying pressure.
Ryonan High School? They were among the top four in last year’s county tournament, so their strength should not be underestimated. Last year, they defeated Shohoku by a large margin under the leadership of their ace player, Sendoh Akira. This is a fact that the Shohoku players are unwilling to face.
Moreover, their Shohoku team is basically eliminated in the first round of the competition. It’s not because of Akagi Takenori that they are not good enough, but because the other players are holding them back.
This also made them feel extremely ashamed and they lowered their heads heavily.
“Okay, that’s all I have to say!”
“Now that everyone is here, let’s have a match between freshmen and seniors. Let me see the strength of the freshmen, hehe.”
Coach Anxi said with a smile.
He is now looking forward to seeing how strong the freshmen are.
“good!”
After hearing Coach Anzai’s arrangements, Akagi began to assign the participants.
See the selection of players.
Long Yan took a step forward without hesitation. Now that he had the added skills, he was eager to play a game right away.
“Long Yan? Are you okay?”
Seeing Long Yan volunteered, Akagi frowned and asked.
“Well, I don’t have much of a problem now.”
Long Yan answered truthfully.
Although Akagi had never seen Longyan play basketball, he also observed for a while when Longyan was practicing dribbling.
Now I also want to see Long Yan’s level.
So he approved Long Yan’s request.
Hearing that Long Yan could play, Sakuragi Hanamichi couldn’t sit still anymore.
“Gorilla, since a beginner like Long Yan can play, it is only natural for this genius to play.”
“Ryukawa Kaede, you don’t need to go up. Just watch this genius perform well.”
Then Sakuragi Hanamichi swaggered towards the center of the venue with a smug look on his face.
But I just took two steps.
A pair of big hands grabbed Sakuragi by the back of the collar and dragged him off the court like a chicken.
“Go back and practice the basics.”
Akagi Takenori said with a dark face and without any emotion.
He has experienced Sakuragi Hanamichi’s strength and found that he is a complete layman.
If we go on stage now, wouldn’t that just cause more trouble?
Sakuragi Hanamichi came to Ayako feeling extremely aggrieved.
Then he looked at Rukawa with an unhappy expression.
Rukawa Kaede had a blank expression on his face and simply chose to ignore Sakuragi.
“idiot!”
After saying something sarcastic, he walked towards the field.
Personnel from both sides are in place!
Chapter 5 Senior, you better be careful! (Old version)
“ah!!”
“Ayako, I want to go on stage too.”
At this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was left alone on the sidelines, looked aggrieved and looked at Ayako pleadingly.
“Not yet, Sakuragi Hanamichi, you need to practice the basics. Just watch this game carefully, it will be of great help to you.”
Ayako covered her face with her hands, looking quite helpless, but she didn’t want to hurt Sakuragi Hanamichi’s feelings, so she could only comfort him in this way.
Then she slightly adjusted her eyebrows and looked at the court with her beautiful eyes.
As the manager of a basketball team, I have a good understanding of the information of each player.
No matter how you look at it, Long Yan is just a beginner. Although judging from his dribbling just now, he does have a little bit of strength, it is definitely not much.
One of them is Rukawa Kaede, who can be said to be the key to victory in this game.
As for the other first-year students, Ayako hopes they will just do their best.
Under the assignment of Takenori Akagi.
The personnel of both parties have been determined.
First came the senior players, and since there were not many players on the team, they basically all played.
They are captain Takenori Akagi, vice-captain Kimura Kogure, point guard Yasuharu Yasuda, shooting guard Tetsushi Shiozaki, and power forward Satoru Kadota.
As for the first-year students, there is only the layman Sakuragi Hanamichi.
They are Ryuhiko, Rukawa Kaede, Kuwata Toki, Sasaoka Satoshi and Ishii Kentaro.
As soon as he came on stage.
Long Yan checked everyone’s data.
First is Rukawa Kaede.
[Scan character: Rukawa Kaede]【Height: 187 cm】
【Weight: 73 kg】
[Physical Strength: B-][Speed: A-][Strength: B+][Bounce: A-]Looking at Rukawa Kaede’s physical fitness, except for physical strength, everything else is basically the same as Sakuragi Hanamichi. He is indeed a rare talented player, but he has to find a way to improve his physical strength. If his physical strength is the same as Sakuragi Hanamichi, then he might not have lost in the subsequent match against Hainan.
The second is Mu Mu.
[Scanned character: Kogure Konobu]【Height: 178 cm】
【Weight: 63 kg】
[Physical Strength: C-][Strength: D+][Bounce: D+]There is no highlight at all. After playing basketball for so many years, Murasakibara only has these statistics. It is not difficult to understand why Shohoku was always eliminated in the first round before Sakuragi Hanamichi and others came. Ryuhiko couldn’t help but feel sorry for Akagi Takenori.
As for other role players, he was too lazy to scan them. Even the vice-captain Murasakibara was in this state, and the other team members were probably not much different.
After both players came on the court.
After Akagi Takenori bowed deeply to Coach Anzai, he looked around at Long Yan and others.
Then he assigned the marking personnel with a serious face.
“I will be responsible for marking Rukawa Kaede, Mugure, you will keep an eye on Ryuhiko, Yasuda will be responsible for marking Kuwata, Kakuda will be responsible for defending Sasaoka, and as for Shiozaki, Ishii will leave it to you.”
After hearing Akagi’s assignment, Shiozaki and others frowned slightly, expressing their confusion.
“They are just first-year students, are they really that serious?”
In their opinion, the other party was just a freshman and there was no need to take him so seriously.
“Yes, and Long Yan just came back. Wouldn’t it be a bit of bullying for us to do this?”
As they continued their discussion.
“That’s enough, shut up. Don’t underestimate Rukawa Kaede. He was the ace player in junior high school and was also known as the Rookie of the Year. Don’t underestimate him…”
soon.
After hearing the complaints from several people, Akagi immediately yelled at them.
When Mu Mu heard what everyone said, a warm smile appeared on his face.
“In fact, we arranged it this way. First, we don’t have many senior players on our team. Although they are freshmen, they must be ready to play at any time. Secondly, this team training is to see the strength of the freshmen so that we can arrange targeted training in the future.”
“Kumure is right, did you guys hear it?”
“What a bunch of ignorant bastards.”
Akagi agreed with Murasakibara’s words and punched several people on the head.
After being hit by Akagi’s iron fist, the few of them quickly calmed down. Thinking about it carefully, what Murasakibara said did make sense.
Then, the contempt on everyone’s face disappeared, and was replaced by seriousness.
And on the other side.
Except for Rukawa and Ryuhiko, Kuwata and others had serious expressions on their faces. Before the game started, sweat broke out on their faces involuntarily. It can be seen how much pressure they felt when facing the senior players led by Takenori Akagi.
After both players are in position.
“Freshmen, show your strength, come on!”
Seeing how nervous the first-year students were, Ayako cheered them on.
Then.
“The competition officially begins!”
“Beep!”
Ayako took out a whistle and announced the start of the game.
As Ayako’s voice fell, Tian Zhong, a second-year player who did not play, threw the ball in his hand into the air.
See the ball being thrown into the air.
Rukawa Kaede and Akagi Takenori jumped almost at the same time, bound to compete for the initiative of the first ball.
As the two jumped, everyone’s eyes were focused on the ball and the atmosphere became tense.
Who is better?
Just when Akagi’s arm was about to touch the ball.
Rukawa slammed his hand heavily on the basketball.
The onlookers couldn’t help but be shocked.
“Ryukawa Kaede jumps even faster than Akagi Gaku!”
Akagi was extremely surprised when he saw Rukawa Kaede, who jumped half a head higher than him.
This guy is indeed not simple.
“Pay attention to defense!!”
The moment the ball was snatched away by Rukawa, Akagi shouted hurriedly.
Long Yan looked at the landing point and caught the basketball steadily.
“Amazing! You actually took the initiative.”
“It seems that this year’s first-year students have some strength. Let me test your strength.”
The moment Ryuhiko received the ball, Mu Mu immediately blocked in front of Ryuhiko and reminded him kindly.
“Senior, you have to keep a close eye on it.”
Long Yan slapped the basketball with his right hand and looked at Murasakibara who was defending him with a smile on his face.
Chapter 6: Three-pointer at halftime, shocking the whole audience! (Old version)
Just when Long Yan got the ball.
Under the leadership of Akagi, Shiozaki and others began to return to defense.
“Mumu, keep an eye on him.”
Akagi stared at Rukawa Kaede, and then shouted at Murasakibara.
In his opinion, Rukawa will definitely score the goal from the freshman side, and defending Rukawa is equivalent to defending the first-year players.
“Come on, fellow student!”
Murasaki opened his arms and blocked the direction of Ryuhiko’s breakthrough.
He was curious about what kind of strength this newcomer, Long Yan, had that made him be careful?
Of course, he had no intention of underestimating the enemy at all.
Long Yan didn’t say anything.
Just the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Move the ball slowly across half court.
Just as he was about to break through, the system’s voice sounded in his mind.
【Task: Make two three-pointers. 】
[Reward: Quick Recovery]“Quick recovery?”
Long Yan looked at the task reward. Could it be about physical strength? He couldn’t care less now. It was a gift from the system anyway, so he shouldn’t refuse it.
And looking at Long Yan standing there.
There was no further action.
Sangtian came out to remind him.
“Long Yan, pay attention to the time!!”
Seeing that the ball holding time was about to reach 30 seconds, but Long Yan still did not make any passing or shooting movements. Kuwata couldn’t help but worry, is it that Long Yan doesn’t know how to break through?
Caizi was also confused, looking at Long Yan who was standing there in a daze. This shouldn’t be right. Wasn’t he dribbling well during the basic training? What was he doing?
Of course, it’s not just Ayako, even Akagi who is defending Rukawa Kaede is also confused. Is it possible that Ryuhiko is just like Sakuragi Hanamichi? An outsider?
Looks like I need to practice more after the game.
Rukawa Kaede frowned, having no idea what Long Yan was going to do, but time was running out, so he began to urge him.
“Pass the ball to me!”
“Ayako, you see, Long Yan is indeed a beginner, so I should let this genius play.”
When Sakuragi Hanamichi saw Ryuhiko lying motionless, he sighed, looking very proud.
Coach Anxi sat quietly on the chair, frowning slightly. What was this young man going to do?
The entire basketball arena was in silence. Many people were ashamed and laughed at Long Yan.
“It seems he is just a layman!”
“Doesn’t he understand the rules of basketball?”
For a moment, the spectators began to comment on Long Yan.
“Last two seconds!!”
The referee, Tian Zhong, looked at the time, put the whistle in his mouth, and prepared to blow it.
“It’s gone, it’s gone!”
Just as everyone began to shake their heads and sigh.
Long Yan held the basketball with both hands.
Pretend to shoot a basketball.
“He, what is he going to do?”
“From this distance, just shoot the ball?”
“It’s only halftime, is this true?”
Seeing Long Yan’s shooting posture, the onlookers were shocked.
“Shoot? Long Yan, stop messing around!!”
“Pass the ball to Rukawa!”
When Kuwata and other players saw Long Yan shooting, their hearts were in their throats.
It’s so far away, there’s no possibility of scoring a goal, and it’s even more impossible since it’s Long Yan.
Rukawa Kaede couldn’t help but frown. This guy is really messing around.
Muguro, Akagi and others looked surprised.
He is really desperate and is trying all kinds of treatments.
Murasakibara simply put down his hands, with no intention of defending at all.
Long Yan held the basketball high, jumped, and shot the basketball in his hand steadily into the air, forming a perfect and ridiculously high parabola.
The whistle sounded.
Everyone in the audience held their breath and focused their eyes on the basketball spinning in the air. The atmosphere became tense as soon as the game started.
In? Not in?
“Swish!”
A sound went through the net.
The ball went in!!
moment!
The whole audience was stunned.
“This? Entered?”
“Fuck, this is too awesome.”
“I think that kid just threw randomly and got lucky.”
When the students watching saw the incredible long-range goal, they became like ants on a hot pan and started to make a noise.
“Nari? Goal?”
“Huh? Are you kidding me?”
Yasuda and his friends felt unbelievable, this was too fake.
Akagi was also extremely surprised. How did this goal go in?
“Is this true or false?”
Ayako looked at the ball that went into the net with a look of shock on her face.
“Damn it, he tricked me!!”
Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at Long Yan with jealousy and gritted his teeth.
“Haha, not bad. I wonder how that first-year student will perform in the future.”
Coach Anxi saw the perfect goal just now, nodded secretly, and couldn’t help but look up and down at Long Yan.
It was unbelievable. At this moment, Mu Mu’s heart was churning, and then he looked at Long Yan.
“Boy, is this strength or luck?”
“Hey, senior, what do you think?”
When Long Yan heard Mu Mu’s doubts, he replied with a smile.
He directly activated his full-range shooting skills. If he didn’t make the shot, there would be something fishy going on.
But after shooting one ball, he found that although this skill had a 100% hit rate, it still consumed a lot of physical strength. According to his current condition, he might only be able to shoot three long three-pointers.
It seems that I need to improve my physical strength, otherwise I will have money but nowhere to spend it.
Seeing that everyone except Rukawa Kaede who returned to defense was stunned, he shouted loudly.
“Return to defense!!”
After hearing Long Yan’s words, the few people came to their senses and mobilized their bodies.
Quickly return to defense.
Rukawa Kaede said to Long Yan calmly: “Well done!”
that’s all.
The first grader took the lead with a three-pointer.
“Everyone, cheer up. We are going to fight back and show them our strength.”
Akagi’s roar echoed throughout the basketball arena.
Whether intentionally or not, Long Yan’s shot has gradually aroused his inner fighting spirit.
Serve.
Dribble.
Then, after arriving at the penalty area.
Takenori Akagi made a fierce dunk.
Regained two points for the senior class.
The whole stadium was boiling with Akagi Takenori’s slam dunk.
Current score: 2:3
“Akagi Takenori is serious!!”
Chapter 7: Another three-pointer in the first half, Mu Mu is questioning his life! (Old version)
Accompanied by Takenori Akagi’s powerful dunk.
The atmosphere in the venue was boiling again.
“As expected of you, captain.”
“Well done!”
After Takenori Akagi scored 2 points with a dunk.
The morale of the senior students was boosted, and Murasakibara, Yasuda and others gave thumbs up and praised them.
“Pay attention to the defense!”
“Defeat them in one fell swoop!”
With a roar, Akagi Takenori instantly reversed the original disadvantage.
“oh!”
When Muguro and the others heard what Akagi Takenori said, they answered heavily.
He took a defensive stance, ready to face the attack from the first-year players.
And the other side.
Kuwata and his players were like eggplants hit by frost, their morale was low, and Akagi Takenori’s slam dunk really hit them deeply in their hearts.
Then he looked at Long Yan and Rukawa Kaede with a dark face.
“The seniors are starting to get serious.”
“I don’t know if we can handle it.”
“Long Yan, Rukawa Kaede, I’m afraid it will depend on you two from now on.”
“Play steadily and steadily. The competition has just begun. Don’t be discouraged. We don’t know who will win in the end.”
“And we were ahead by one point.”
When Long Yan heard the discouraging words of his teammates, he clapped his hands to boost morale.
Rukawa nodded secretly and did not object to what Long Yan said.
After being dunked by Akagi, he felt a strong sense of provocation.
“First grade, must win!”
Long Yan was the first to speak and shouted.
after.
Sangtian and his companions also gathered together and followed Long Yan in shouting.
“Yes, we are still ahead.”
The morale of several people gradually rose with Long Yan’s encouragement.
Akagi Takenori saw Ryuhiko standing up to boost morale and was very appreciative.
“Yes, it seems that the morale of the freshmen has been completely boosted by Long Yan.”
“We must defend this ball!”
Seeing this, Murasakibara and others gradually began to feel more determined to fight.
“Come on, let’s see the real strength of the first-year students.”
If I lose to a freshman, it would be too embarrassing to tell others about it.
Ayako, who was standing off the field, smiled as she saw the first years were in high spirits.
“I didn’t realize that Long Yan had this ability.”
She originally thought that he was just a fool like Sakuragi Hanamichi, but she didn’t expect that he would be so much more than she expected.
“Haha, yes, this game may just officially begin now.”
Coach Anzai said with a smile when he heard what Ayako said.
“kick off!”
Then the game continued with Tian Zhong’s whistle.
Sasaoka served the ball and decisively passed it to Ryuhiko.
Long Yan dribbled the ball forward.
“Junior, I don’t know whether it was strength or luck just now?”
Mu Mu quickly stood in front of Long Yan and said with a smile.
“How about you let me try again?”
Long Yan slapped the basketball with his right hand and stared at Mu Mu with a smirk on his face.
When Mu Mu heard what Long Yan said, he was stunned.
It’s only the halfway point. Is this guy planning to repeat his old tricks again?
“How is that possible? Let’s have a head-on confrontation.”
Murasaki denied it verbally, but his heart was thinking the opposite.
Impossible. That ball just now was definitely a matter of luck. So what if I let you shoot one ball?
The footsteps began to move slowly towards the backcourt.
Seeing this, Long Yan smiled.
“Then, senior, you can wait to be criticized by the captain.”
Without waiting for Murasakibara to reply, he held the ball with both hands and confidently made a shooting gesture.
Although Murasakibara’s movements were very subtle, they still could not escape Ryuhiko’s observation.
Isn’t it obvious that I let you vote, so what? Can you get in? I’m eating porn live.
When Mu Mu heard what Long Yan said, he couldn’t help but frowned. Could it be that this guy really has some skills?
A big question mark appeared in his mind, but his body did not stop Long Yan from shooting at all.
And seeing Long Yan slowly raising his hands.
Akagi’s face darkened. What was he doing? Shooting? Well, he decided to take back his praise for Long Yan. He was just a reckless man.
Not only Akagi thought so, Rukawa also looked curious.
This guy is a complete lunatic. Can he really make the shot?
Kuwata and his companions, whose morale was originally high, were suddenly shocked when they saw Long Yan’s actions.
Hey, Boss, we agreed to fight each other properly. What’s going on?
Less than a minute had passed since Ayako had been praising Ryuhiko when she saw Ryuhiko acting recklessly with his hands on his face.
I take back what I said just now, he is just like Sakuragi Hanamichi, a fool.
Coach Anxi stood up from his chair and frowned.
Long Yan, judging from what he just did, he doesn’t seem like a cocky person. This freshman is really interesting.
Just when everyone was confused.
Long Yan jumped and threw the basketball into the basket just like the first shot.
The ball hit the center of the net steadily.
“Nari? Really got in?”
Murasakibara looked at the dream-like goal with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
“Another long three-pointer?”
Yasuda and the others held their heads in their hands, looking shocked.
Akagi originally planned to jump and fight for the rebound, but when he saw the basketball go perfectly into the net, his heart was filled with anxiety.
He looked at Long Yan in the distance with eyes full of shock.
Hello, hey, hey, is this true?
Rukawa Kaede did the same, and focused his attention on Long Yan. It seemed necessary to have a one-on-one duel with him.
When Kuwata and his companions saw the goal scored in the first half, they were stunned at first and then started shouting.
“Wow! The ball goes in.”
“Long Yan is so amazing!”
At this moment, all their denial of Long Yan disappeared in an instant, and they looked at Long Yan with envy.
Off the court.
Sakuragi Hanamichi widened his eyes and stared at Long Yan with envy.
“Long Yan, well done, although you are still a little behind this genius!”
As long as Ryuhiko didn’t pass the ball to Rukawa, it would be perfect in his opinion.
At this moment, Ayako recalled the successive changes in her attitude towards Long Yan, her pretty face turned red, and she felt very embarrassed.
No one knows that I’m good at sex, just when I’m ready to sigh.
Sakuragi Hanamichi put his hands on Ayako’s shoulders.
“Big sister, I heard everything.”
“Sakuragi Hanamichi!! Keep training!!”
When Ayako heard what Sakuragi Hanamichi said, she threw a cardboard at him, but forgot about Sakuragi Hanamichi beside her and started yelling at him.
Coach Anxi couldn’t help but admire the goal when he saw it.
“Nice shot, nice explosion, hehe.”
After Long Yan made two consecutive long three-pointers, Coach Anxi was even more looking forward to his future performance.
“Hey, senior, tell me, is this strength or luck?”
After scoring the goal, Long Yan patted Mu Mu’s face, which was disheveled in the wind.
Then call teammates to return to defense.
“Don’t just stand there, hurry back and stop their defense!”
Kuwata and his companions started running quickly.
A look of excitement.
With Long Yan here, there is a good chance of defeating Captain Takenori Akagi.
Chapter 8: Defensive Gate? Pressure from Long Yan! (Old Version)
After Long Yan made two consecutive long three-pointers.
The score between the two sides came to 2:6.
Akagi came back to his senses and patted Murasakibara on the shoulder.
“Mumu, don’t be distracted, be careful of that brat Long Yan.”
“Now, let’s score a goal first.”
Mu Mu couldn’t help feeling a little embarrassed.
“Akagi, don’t worry, I will guard against him next time.”
Long Yan’s two consecutive goals were indeed closely related to his letting the game go.
What he didn’t know was that, let alone him, even if Akagi Takenori himself was defending Ryuhiko, he might not be able to stop him.
“Okay, let’s go, everyone, show your strength.”
Akagi served the ball while scolding everyone.
Although the score difference was not big, the result was indeed a bit unexpected. I originally thought that Rukawa would be the main scorer, but I didn’t expect that it would be the beginner Ryuhiko.
The other side.
Under the leadership of Long Yan, Rukawa and others returned to their respective defensive positions, waiting for the attack from Akagi and others.
“Everyone, cheer up and defend against them.”
Long Yan put his hands on his waist and reminded Kuwata and others.
Kuwata, Sasaoka showed a determined look and nodded.
[Get quick recovery skills]The system voice sounded in Long Yan’s mind.
Long Yan then checked the introduction of quick recovery.
[Quick recovery, after the host’s physical strength is consumed to 50%, restore the host’s physical strength by 30%, only once a day]Looking at the introduction of the system, Long Yan seemed to understand that this skill was similar to glucose nutrient solution and could quickly restore physical strength.
It is perfect for him who is physically weak.
“use!”
I recited it silently in my heart.
It’s available every day anyway, so use it early and enjoy it early.
In an instant.
Long Yan felt that his originally tired body was full of energy again after using Quick Recovery.
“Nice skills. Now, let’s play basketball seriously.”
Feeling his body filled with strength, Long Yan looked forward and saw Murasakibara dribbling the ball towards him.
“Young man, be careful.”
Muguro looked at Ryuhiko who was defending him, alerted him, and tried to find an opportunity to break through.
[Training Mission: Stop Mu Mu’s Breakthrough][Reward: Phantom interception][In the game, when the opponent holds the ball for more than 5 seconds, the host will activate the phantom interception skill, and the body speed will be extremely fast. The first three times can intercept the ball 100% successfully, and the interception success rate will reach 70% after that, and the physical energy consumption is low. ]Just when Mu Mu came in front of Long Yan, the system arranged a training task again.
Long Yan took a look at the skill introduction.
I was secretly delighted. It was indeed a good system. With the phantom interception function, my steal rate was greatly improved.
It is necessary to prevent Mu Mu’s breakthrough.
“Senior, please come over here.”
Long Yan opened his arms and took a defensive stance.
Murasaki slapped the basketball with his right hand, his eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Long Yan’s left side.
The left side is often the weakest point in a person’s defense.
And Long Yan stared at Mu Mu’s eyes with full concentration.
On the left?
Guess the direction of Murasakibara’s breakthrough.
He began to inject strength into his right foot, preparing to block Murasakibara’s breakthrough from the left.
The speed at which Murasaki hit the ball became faster.
Break through to Long Yan’s left side.
But the moment he started walking.
Long Yan’s body was like an iron wall, moving quickly in the direction where Murasakibara was breaking through.
After Long Yan saw through the direction of the breakthrough, Mu Mu was surprised that he was actually seen through and should not be underestimated.
After several breakthroughs in a row, Murasakibara had no advantage at all in terms of speed.
“hateful!”
During this period, he tried many times to get rid of Long Yan’s obstruction, but all ended in failure. Instead, he was depleted of a lot of physical strength by Long Yan.
At this moment, Murasakibara was confused. Although this guy did not see through the direction of his breakthrough, he made up for it with speed. This might be the essential difference between Murasakibara and Ryuhiko.
The two were at a stalemate.
“Kumure, pass the ball quickly.”
Akagi used his strong body to occupy the best shooting position under the basket. Seeing that Murasakibara could not get rid of Ryuhiko, he spoke out to remind him.
“I won’t let you catch the ball.”
Rukawa Kaede on the side stood in front of Akagi, waving his hands and making a blocking gesture.
Akagi looked at Rukawa and couldn’t help but complain. He completely underestimated Long Yan’s strength. He was not only strong on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end. He was indeed a rare gem.
Hearing Akagi’s voice.
Murasaki’s face was solemn. He glanced at Akagi’s position, which was indeed a good attacking position.
Hold the ball in your hands.
He wanted to pass the ball towards Akagi’s position.
[Host completes the mission – prevent Mu Mu from breaking through]And at this time.
The system’s voice also sounded in Long Yan’s mind.
“A phantom interception?”
Long Yan felt his whole body light, and Murasakibara’s passing the ball seemed like slow motion in his eyes.
Mu Mu found the right opportunity and shouted loudly.
“Akagi!”
He threw the ball in his hand hard towards Akagi.
Sudden.
Long Yan’s figure appeared in front of Mu Mu’s pass like a black lightning.
His hands were like catching the moon in the water, grabbing the basketball in the air firmly.
“Steal it!”
Kuwata couldn’t help but scream out when he saw this scene.
“Quick Attack!!”
Chapter 9: Big deficit! (Old version)
Just when Kuwata shouted the word “fast break”.
Rukawa Kaede quickly ran towards the front court.
Everyone reacted.
“Steal it?”
“What a fast speed!”
Shiozaki and Ishii, who were standing at the bottom of the backcourt, only then reacted.
“That new guy seems to be really good. He made three-point shots in a row and now he stole the ball in the air.”
“I really didn’t expect that new guy to be so amazing.”
“Akagi and the others are in danger!”
The crowd of onlookers saw Long Yan’s superb performance and praised him.
“Wow!!”
“So handsome!”
“Go freshman!”
Some female classmates couldn’t help cheering when they saw that Long Yan was not only handsome but also such a good basketball player.
Suddenly, Long Yan’s presence overshadowed everyone else present.
Ayako’s beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and her pretty face was filled with amazement.
“Long Yan, are you really a beginner?”
With Long Yan’s current performance, let alone becoming a regular player, he is comparable to masters like Rukawa Kaede.
If he is said to be a beginner, how can Murasakibara feel embarrassed?
“Damn it, I underestimated that kid.”
“Go back to defense!”
When Akagi saw the ball being intercepted, he was shocked. Every move of Long Yan was beyond his expectations, so he immediately started scolding him.
He led Yasuda and several others to quickly return to defense.
After stealing the ball, Long Yan did not stop, but dribbled quickly and ran towards the frontcourt.
Muguro followed closely behind, muttering in a low voice.
“Don’t even think about scoring on a fast break!”
If we let the first graders score, we will lose face.
Long Yan took the ball to the basket.
[Mission: Complete five assists][Reward: Accurate Pass][Precise passing skills, long pass, short pass, behind the back pass, success rate up to 90%, the longer the pass distance, the greater the physical consumption]This is similar to full-court shooting.
A sudden system sound.
This made Long Yan stunned. This training match would trigger so many tasks. Not bad.
Five assists? Easy.
Long Yan jumped up slowly.
Seeing this, Mu Mu quickly jumped up and tried his best to interfere with Long Yan’s layup.
But the next second.
Seeing Murasakibara jump up, Ryuhiko grinned.
“Senior, I’m sorry, you’ve been deceived again.”
The words just fell.
Long Yan threw the basketball in his hand straight towards the backboard.
“His goal is not to shoot the ball!!”
At this time, Akagi and others came to the basket and saw Longyan’s actions, and immediately scolded Mu Mu.
But it was too late.
When Mu Mu reacted.
There was a loud dunk.
Rukawa Kaede made a handsome aerial relay and slammed the basketball into the basket.
When Long Yan made the steal, he looked at Rukawa Kaede, and the latter understood instantly.
After scoring the goal, he said with some praise: “Great pass!”
“Better than some idiots.”
After saying that, he glanced at Sakuragi Hanamichi in the audience with contempt.
With the cooperation of Ryuhiko and Rukawa, they successfully completed a two-on-one battle.
Kuwada and others rushed over and saw Ryuhiko and Rukawa Kaede cooperate to expand the score again. They were excited and said, “Ryuhiko, Rukawa Kaede, well done!”
At this time, Mu Mu was very helpless.
What kind of thing is this? I am being completely played around with and applauded.
Akagi glanced at Muguro and comforted him.
“Kumure, keep up the pace. There’s really nothing we can do about that ball just now.”
“Try harder!”
Although Murasakibara felt aggrieved, he still nodded heavily at Akagi in response.
Akagi serves.
“Be steady, and pay attention to Long Yan’s steals.”
After passing the ball to Murasakibara, Akagi started to jog and gave a reminder at the same time.
“Come on, let’s defend this ball.”
At this time, Kuwata and his companions became more confident and went to meet their respective targets.
And Long Yan gave Rukawa Kaede a knowing smile.
“Ryukawa Kaede, cooperate a few more times.”
With Rukawa around, isn’t it easy to complete five assists?
Rukawa Kaede nodded immediately.
As Tian Zhong’s whistle sounded.
The first quarter is over.
The score on the field was jaw-dropping.
17:4.
The first-year students were ahead by a large margin.
A short break.
Kuwata and his companions came to Long Yan and said with envy: “Long Yan, are you really a beginner?”
“That’s amazing.”
In the subsequent goals, Ryuhiko attracted firepower and won many offensive opportunities for Rukawa.
To first-year players like Kuwata, this was two against five, a complete freak situation.
“I read a lot of tactics in books before, so I know a little bit.”
Long Yan laughed when he heard the praise from Sangtian and others.
He wouldn’t be stupid enough to tell everyone about the system.
Even if I say it, I’m afraid no one will believe it, so I might as well find an excuse to cover it up.
“Hahaha, well done.”
“Keep it up!”
“I’m keeping an eye on you guys.”
Ayako patted Ryuhiko and Rukawa Kaede’s shoulders, and her beautiful eyes lingered on the former for a moment.
In an instant, this person whom she originally thought was a beginner made him feel different.
Mu Mu sat on the chair.
His face looked extremely embarrassed. In the match between him and Long Yan, he was completely led by the nose. Whether in attack or defense, he was completely crushed by Long Yan.
This made him doubt himself for a while. Was he really too weak?
But I am still very happy to see Ryuhiko’s strength. At present, it seems that Ryuhiko has fully met the standards of a formal player. By then, Xiangbei will have Akagi, Ryuhiko, and Rukawa, and its strength will definitely be greatly improved.
This is also what he, as the vice-captain, wants to see most.
“Hahaha, that guy Long Yan is really good at hiding things. It seems like we have underestimated him.”
“And Rukawa Kaede, not bad, not bad, maybe we can really achieve our goal this year.”
Akagi wiped the sweat from his head with a towel. Although the score was far behind, he was very happy to see the strength of Ryuhiko and Rukawa.
“Boss, this is too ugly.”
A rebellious voice rang out in the basketball hall.
Chapter 10 The Return of the Good Farms in Miyagi! (Old Version)
“Look, it’s Miyagi Ryouta, that guy is back.”
“I don’t know if I’ll be on the court.”
The moment they saw Miyagi Ryouta, the people watching in the basketball stadium began to talk.
A young man with earrings and a brown punk hairstyle walked in with a swagger.
The first thing I saw when I came in was the jaw-dropping score.
He still couldn’t stop complaining.
This person is officially a sophomore student and the starting point guard of the Xiangbei basketball team, Miyagi Ryouta.
“Acai, long time no see!”
After complaining a few words about the score, he walked towards Ayako with an admiring smile on his face.
“Miyagi, you were discharged early?”
Ayako’s face lit up when she saw the familiar face.
“Hey, yes, the doctor said I can be discharged from the hospital.”
Miyagi Ryouta grinned, his face flushed.
“Not bad, it’s good that you’re back. Then you can play in the game.”
Ayako looked up and down at Miyagi Ryouta’s physical condition.
“Don’t worry, Ah Cai, I’ll take care of it when the time comes.”
Miyagi said with a smile on his face, glanced at Sakuragi Hanamichi next door, and walked towards the location of Akagi and others.
“Ayako, who is he? Why can he play? Why can’t I? Ahhh! I want to play too!”
Seeing Miyagi preparing to go on the court directly, Sakuragi Hanamichi went crazy.
“Shut up, Sakuragi Hanamichi, and continue training.”
When Ayako saw Sakuragi Hanamichi starting to act up again, she hit him with a piece of cardboard.
At this time, the beaten Sakuragi Hanamichi looked aggrieved like a baby weighing over 100 pounds. He took the basketball in his hand and continued dribbling training.
“Miyagi? You’re back? Great! Are you okay now?”
When Murasaki saw Miyagi, his eyes lit up, and the decadent feeling he had just had disappeared, and his face was filled with surprise.
“Yeah, it’s nothing. It’s you who were beaten like this by the first-year students without me.”
“It seems like it won’t work without me.”
After simply responding to Murasakibara, he looked at the big score and started to show off.
“This game was not easy. There were some unexpected events.”
Murasaki then pushed his glasses up with his hand, looking a little embarrassed, and recounted the story of Ryuhiko in general.
“real?”
When Miyagi heard what Murasaki said, he immediately became interested. He shifted his gaze to Longyan and asked in a questioning tone.
“That’s enough, Miyagi, just come back. Yasuda, you go off the field and let Miyagi defend Long Yan.”
“Kumure will defend Kuwata.”
After Akagi arrived in Miyagi, he was also a little surprised and quickly replaced the personnel.
With Miyagi defending Ryuhiko, even though there is a height difference of more than ten centimeters between them, he is much safer than Murasaki.
“Okay, let me go meet that guy.”
After hearing Akagi’s arrangement, Miyagi nodded and changed into sportswear. It must be said that although he was short, his figure was still quite good.
“Miyagi, I’ll leave the rest to you.”
Yasuda was relieved when he heard Akagi’s arrangement. Although the playing time was not much, the pressure from Ryuhiko and Rukawa was indeed very strong.
“Okay! Let’s go and get back the lost points.”
Akagi’s roar reached everyone’s ears.
After they returned from the palace, their confidence immediately increased and they started cheering loudly.
When the onlookers saw Miyagi coming on stage, they immediately became excited.
“Miyagi Ryouta, that guy is finally going to take the stage.”
“I don’t know what kind of matchup will break out.”
“It’s really exciting.”
Everyone is looking forward to Miyagi Ryouta’s performance.
And here are the first graders.
Since they had never met Miyagi, they didn’t have much feeling. They had a ten-point lead, so they thought they could just change one person? Besides, they had Ryuhiko and Rukawa Kaede.
But after Long Yan met Miyagi.
I was slightly surprised.
I don’t know if they are here to defend him, but I am looking forward to it.
At Tian Zhong’s whistle.
The game continues.
Akagi serves the ball.
“Miyagi, be careful Long Yan.”
After passing the ball to Miyagi, Akagi began to remind him.
“Leave it to me. I want to see what’s so special about this new guy.”
Miyagi took the ball with his right hand and hammered it lightly on his chest with his left hand.
“Don’t worry, let’s score a goal first.”
Then he dribbled the ball across half court at a leisurely pace.
Long Yan came to Gong Cheng first and said something politely.
“Senior, I hope you can give me more advice.”
In his opinion, with his phantom interception ability, it would be very dangerous if Miyagi held the ball for more than 5 seconds.
It takes about the same amount of time to transport the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt.
“It’s just as Mu Mu said.”
“Young man, be careful, I’m about to get on top.”
Miyagi dribbled the ball and listened to Long Yan’s tone. Although he was not a good student, he could still hear the provocation in it.
As soon as he finished speaking, the speed of dribbling the ball in his hand increased rapidly.
Chapter 11: Miyagi shows off his ball skills! (Old version)
Seeing Miyagi start to exert his strength.
When Sangtian and his companions saw this, they looked unhappy and couldn’t help but exclaimed.
“What a fast dribble!”
“Could this person be the absent Miyagi-senpai?”
Although they had never seen Miyagi, they had heard of his name. He was a top point guard in Kanagawa, and his dribbling speed was also among the best in Kanagawa.
When I saw Miyagi’s skillful and fast dribbling, I immediately knew that this person was Miyagi.
With Akagi in the inside and Miyagi on the outside, the team works together inside and outside, creating a strong sense of oppression.
Now we can only hope that Long Yan can defend against Gongcheng.
When Mugure saw Miyagi’s skillful dribbling, he was deeply moved.
“That familiar Miyagi is back again, Long Yan, can you still stop him?”
When Sakuragi Hanamichi saw Miyagi’s skillful dribbling, Ayako’s eyes were also focused on Miyagi. The basketball in her hand slowly fell to the ground with a look of jealousy on her face.
“Damn it, that guy actually took away this genius’s opportunity to show off. Long Yan, teach him a lesson for this genius.”
It is said that jealousy can change a person beyond recognition, and Sakuragi Hanamichi is in this state right now.
Long Yan was surprised to see Miyagi’s dribbling speed increase.
“As expected, this speed is lightning fast, and it is beyond Mu Mu’s reach.”
“But if you can defeat me just by doing this, then you are a little too petty.”
[Trigger mission: Intercept Miyagi’s dribbling][Reward: ‘C’ shaped dribble]Looking at this task that suddenly appeared, Long Yan couldn’t help but feel excited.
The ‘C’ shaped dribble is a common breakthrough method, but it is also quite troublesome to train. Although he can break through now, it is not aesthetically pleasing.
As Miyagi’s dribbling time increases.
Then trigger the Phantom Intercept skill.
Long Yan’s eyes were like an eagle’s, focused on Miyagi’s hands, and all dribbling movements instantly became as slow as a snail.
The right foot began to slowly exert force, preparing to intercept the ball.
“Young man, be careful, I’m about to break through.”
Miyagi reminded Long Yan with a smug look on his face.
In his eyes, Long Yan did not move at all because of his dribbling.
Crossing Longyan is as easy as crossing the road in the early morning.
“Miyagi, don’t play solo, pass the ball!!”
Seeing that Miyagi was getting a little angry, Akagi immediately started scolding him.
“It’s okay, Boss, I’m here…”
Miyagi heard Akagi’s scolding and immediately explained that a beginner like Long Yan wanted to touch the ball? Don’t even think about it.
But Miyagi hadn’t finished speaking yet.
The moment the basketball in the right hand hits the ground.
Long Yan’s left hand suddenly slapped the basketball out of Miyagi’s hand.
Then he immediately rushed towards the flying basketball.
“Nari? How come?”
Long Yan’s sudden move made Miyagi feel incredible.
It was actually cut off?
It just happened.
“Damn it!!”
There was no time to think about so much now. He turned around immediately and ran towards the flying basketball.
And saw Long Yan successfully steal the ball.
Mu Mu was confused.
“Nari? Miyagi’s ball was stolen? Is this true? This has to be fake.”
Immediately afterwards, the scene of Long Yan intercepting the ball appeared in his mind.
And Akagi looked surprised.
He actually stole the ball again? That guy Miyagi must have underestimated his opponent.
The first-year students Kuwata and others were very excited.
“Long Yan, Long Yan successfully stole the ball from the senior again.”
“Quick attack, quick attack!!”
Rukawa was slightly surprised and exclaimed, “Long Yan, well done!”
If he was defending, he might not be able to steal the ball from Gongcheng just now. What about Long Yan? After the team training is over, there will definitely be a showdown.
Ayako couldn’t help but take a deep breath to calm her inner excitement.
“Is this junior Long Yan really pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?”
“He actually stole Miyagi’s dribble.”
“When this is over, I must catch him and ask him about it.”
Then her beautiful eyes turned and focused on Long Yan.
Just at the moment Long Yan caught the basketball.
A figure blocked his way like lightning.
It was Miyagi who arrived.
“You’re really good, kid. You actually managed to steal the ball from me.”
Miyagi licked his lips and stared at Long Yan. He had indeed underestimated his opponent when dribbling the ball just now. He didn’t expect that with Long Yan’s height, his speed was not slower than his at all.
“Senior, be careful, I’m about to start a breakthrough.”
Long Yan grinned.
He conveyed back exactly what Miyagi had just said.
He was still a little surprised in his heart. Miyagi’s speed and reaction ability were far beyond what Murasakibara could compare to.
If Murasakibara was defending, it would probably be another unreasonable fast break.
However, now Miyagi has successfully blocked the direction of advance.
“Just defend him like this!”
Akagi was ready to return to defense and saw Ryuhiko being stopped by Miyagi.
Shout out.
Although Long Yan had made some breakthroughs before, his skills were relatively rough. It was okay against Murasaki, but facing Miyagi? That would be a completely different level of difficulty.
It depends on what Long Yan does.
Chapter 12: Senior, you are careless! (Old version)
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Long Yan.
What kind of performance will this freshman show in the face of Miyagi’s obstruction? It will be exciting to see.
Especially Coach Anxi who was off the court, said with a wealthy smile on his face.
“Long Yan, I wonder how this little guy will respond. I find a familiar figure in him.”
“He does look somewhat like Sawakita Eiji of Sanno Industries, hehe.”
Hearing Coach Anxi’s comments, Ayako’s expression froze.
“Sanno Industry? Sawakita Eiji?”
“Coach Anxi’s evaluation of Long Yan is so high.”
Although Ryuhiko is performing well now, he still has a long way to go compared to Sanno Industrial’s Sawakita Eiji. It has to be said that Coach Anzai’s comments on Ryuhiko were beyond Ayako’s expectations.
She blinked her beautiful eyes and stared at Long Yan on the field.
“Long Yan, don’t embarrass this genius, break through him!”
When Sakuragi Hanamichi saw Miyagi blocking Ryuhiko, he waved his hands and yelled.
At this moment, Miyagi looked at Long Yan in front of him with a slight smile on his face.
“Kid, try to break through me.”
The strong aura coming from Long Yan made him excited.
“Miyagi, guard him.”
Shiozaki shouted with sweat on his cheeks.
If Long Yan were to break through again, how would the senior class keep their dignity?
[Host completes the mission – steal the ball from Ryouta Miyagi][Reward: ‘C’ dribbling skill]As soon as the system’s voice fell, the ‘C’ dribbling skill seemed to be replicated in Long Yan’s mind, a feeling that was innate.
[Mission: Break through the defense of Miyagi Ryouta][Reward: Mid-air dunk skill]Hearing that just after completing this task, another task came, Long Yan was also stunned.
Miyagi? Could it be the legendary quest baby?
“Senior, I will respectfully obey your orders.”
Long Yan imitated Miyagi’s smile, showing his snow-white teeth.
Long Yan held the ball in his right hand and used a perfect ‘C’ dribble to flash past Miyagi like a flash of black lightning.
“Nari?”
“He actually passed me?”
Miyagi Ryouta looked shocked.
If he said that he underestimated his opponent when the ball was stolen by Long Yan just now, but now he was defending Long Yan without letting him off at all.
Akagi was shocked when he saw that perfect way of passing the ball.
“Such a perfect way to pass the ball, has that kid been pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger all along?”
“Interesting.”
At the beginning, although Long Yan broke through Mu Mu, his movements were extremely rough and not smooth at all.
“bring it on!”
Seeing Long Yan breaking through Gongcheng and rushing towards the basket.
Akagi roared and asked him to test Long Yan’s strength.
“So fast!!”
After being broken through by Long Yan, Miyagi turned around and chased after him, but he was actually unable to catch up in speed, and was extremely surprised.
Long Yan’s speed increased a lot after the breakthrough.
Of course, he didn’t know that after systematic improvements, after passing the opponent, his dribbling speed would briefly reach the maximum speed of human running, which was impossible for him to catch up with and would consume a lot of physical energy.
Rukawa Kaede widened his eyes, feeling extremely shocked.
This speed, even he is far behind, is Long Yan’s burst so strong? What a monster.
In the blink of an eye.
Akagi gave up defending Rukawa Kaede and opened his arms, ready to block Ryuhiko’s goal.
“How will he score?”
Guess Long Yan’s usual method.
In an instant, Akagi felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.
“Long Yan, come on!!”
When Kuwata and others saw the speed at which Long Yan exploded, they immediately started shouting.
Just at this moment.
[Host completes the mission: Break through the defense of Gongcheng Liangtian][Note: It consumes a lot of physical energy]Hearing the system’s voice, Long Yan’s mouth corners slightly raised.
“It’s finally here!”
“Senior Akagi, be careful!”
Long Yan came to the basket and jumped directly using inertia.
He didn’t take Akagi seriously at all. At this moment, he was the king on the field.
I was surprised to see that Ryuhiko actually chose to face Akagi Takenori directly.
The anger off the field was instantly aroused.
“Dunk?”
“Layup?”
“That kid is really messing around.”
“That’s Akagi Takenori!!”
When Akagi saw Ryuhiko jumping, he frowned and looked ferocious, as if he was going to dunk in front of him.
“Boy, don’t look at everyone!”
Roar with all your might.
Then he exerted force with both feet and jumped towards the basket.
Reach out towards the basketball with both hands.
Just when Takenori Akagi’s big hand was about to touch the basketball.
It was a magical scene.
Long Yan pulled the basketball in his left hand back.
Turn to the right hand.
“Senior, you are careless!”
He didn’t forget to remind Akagi Takenori.
“It’s over!!!”
Akagi Takenori was shocked and understood instantly, but it was too late.
In full view of the public.
He slammed the basketball into the basket with his left hand in the air.
Chapter 13: Number One Enemy! Affirmation from Akagi! (Old Version)
Xiangbei High School, teaching building.
“Ding Dong!”
The bell rang for the end of get out of class.
One class per year.
A girl with an oval face, long hair and a pair of tender eyes was looking out the window alone.
Suddenly, it seemed as if I thought of something important.
He stood up suddenly from his chair.
This violent movement attracted the attention of the girl with sausage lips at the next table, who immediately asked worriedly.
“Haruko, what happened?”
“You look flustered.”
The young woman took one look at the girl with sausage lips and immediately covered her chin with both hands, speaking in panic.
“Oh no, the team seems to have a practice match today. I wonder how many points Rukawa Kaede scored, and I wonder if Sakuragi Hanamichi played, and what about my brother.”
This person is Akagi Takenori’s sister, Akagi Haruko.
The heroine in the original novel, and Sakuragi Hanamichi’s secret crush.
I looked up at the clock on the wall.
“Hurry up, the game should not be over yet.”
Then her beautiful eyes turned slightly, and without waiting for the girl with sausage mouth to speak, Akagi Haruko grabbed her arm and ran out the door.
“Haruko, slow down, run slower!!”
A man about 165cm tall slowly walked into Xiangbei High School.
With a schoolbag on his back, a notebook in his hand and a pencil in his mouth, he asked a random student from Xiangbei High School.
“Hello, excuse me, how do I get to the basketball hall?”
This man is a freshman at Ryonan High School, Hikoichi Aida, and he is also a substitute player on the Ryonan High School basketball team.
“Basketball hall? Just follow this road to the end and you’ll see it.”
The Shohoku High School student looked Aida Hikoichi up and down and pointed in a direction with his finger.
“Okay, thank you.”
After bowing deeply to express his gratitude, Hikoichi Aida walked towards the basketball hall with an excited look on his face.
“I must observe carefully. I wonder if there are any powerful people in Xiangbei this year…”
After Long Yan’s slam dunk, the students watching seemed to have their Ren and Du meridians opened and became extremely excited.
“What an amazing guy! He actually dunked right in front of Akagi.”
“Good job, that freshman. Come on, don’t lose to Akagi.”
“Akagi, you guys should also try your best and don’t lose to the first graders.”
At this moment, Ayako could no longer suppress her inner restlessness, and her bright eyes focused on Long Yan.
“I don’t know why, but I feel like there’s a different aura coming from him right now. This is so cool.”
Her pretty face was slightly red, and she muttered to herself like a girl next door.
Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was training nearby, was extremely envious and at the same time felt so wronged that he couldn’t help but go crazy.
“Ahhh, that was supposed to be my chance to perform, damn Long Yan.”
On the court.
Akagi Takenori sighed in his heart.
“What skills does Long Yan have that boy that he hasn’t used yet?”
“He’s not inferior to Rukawa Kaede at all. He’s really full of energy.”
Of course, it’s not just Akagi Takenori who feels the most aggrieved. The look in his eyes when he looks at Ryuhiko seems to have changed.
“Is this really a beginner? He dunked with his hands in mid-air, a difficult move that was done in one go. It’s really unexpected.”
“Luckily this guy is from our Xiangbei basketball team.”
At the end, Mu Mu sighed deeply and felt extremely fortunate.
“Hahaha, Long Yan is just as you said, a really tricky guy.”
“Yoshi, that guy succeeded in inspiring my fighting spirit.”
Miyagi Ryouta wiped the sweat from his face with his hand and couldn’t help but look at Long Yan with admiration.
In the minds of the senior players, Ryuhiko now seems to be the number one enemy, and Rukawa Kaede’s brilliance is completely overshadowed.
“Long Yan, you actually dared to shoot over the captain’s head, awesome!”
“My heart seemed to be about to jump out of my chest just now. How did you do that?”
After returning to the backcourt, Kuwata and his companions looked at Long Yan with admiration.
At this moment, Long Yan is the absolute leader in their hearts.
“Hahaha, that’s easy. Just jump higher.”
When Long Yan heard the praise from Sangtian and others, he felt slightly satisfied and brushed it off as if nothing had happened.
When Sangtian and the others heard how simply Long Yan said it, they secretly clicked their tongues and smiled back at him with an expression that said, “We can’t afford to offend you.”
“It’s a bit stinky, but it’s well done.”
Rukawa wiped the sweat off his face with his clothes and commented on Ryuhiko’s dunk in a very standard manner.
“Pay attention to defense, the seniors are about to start attacking.”
Long Yan came back to his senses, saw Akagi serving, and reminded him.
At this time, he also felt his physical strength beginning to decline, and he began to feel a little tired.
He sighed helplessly.
“Oh, I have to find a way to improve my physical strength, otherwise I will have money but nowhere to spend it.”
In Long Yan’s opinion, physical strength might be his biggest shortcoming at present. However, improving physical strength is not that easy, and everything needs to be considered carefully.
“Oh! Guard against them!”
Influenced by Long Yan, Kuwata and his companions felt full of strength.
Get ready for the onslaught of senior year!
Chapter 14: Akagi Haruko, has she changed her crush? (Old version)
The training match continues.
Miyagi dribbled the ball across the center line.
Long Yan quickly blocked the way.
When Miyagi saw Long Yan coming towards him, he subconsciously used the side of his body to block the latter after suffering two losses in a row.
Now in his mind, Long Yan is no longer a beginner, but a real opponent.
The bronze face couldn’t help but look more solemn.
“Long Yan, you are hiding well enough, come again!”
With this goal, Miyagi decided to get back at the scorer.
“Come on, let me see the true strength of Miyagi Ryouta.”
Long Yan opened his arms, licked his lips, and spoke in a firm tone.
He felt that Miyagi Ryouta was about to show his true strength.
“Miyagi, pay attention to Long Yan’s steals.”
Akagi’s eyes were fixed on Long Yan. He wanted to see what kind of strength the former would unleash when facing the serious Miyagi Ryouta.
“Long Yan, pay attention to Miyagi’s pass.”
Rukawa Kaede reminded quietly.
Miyagi is relatively small in stature, so when facing Ryuhiko who is taller than him, he probably won’t confront him head-on, but will try to pass the ball.
In Murasaki’s heart, he was also sweating for Miyagi.
“Long Yan is not a simple guy. Miyagi should be careful.”
Before Miyagi came, he had always been in confrontation with Long Yan. He didn’t get any benefit from the latter. Instead, he was suppressed throughout the whole situation, which made him very uncomfortable.
It seemed like he could break through, but when he really broke through with the ball, Long Yan was always able to give a slap at the critical moment, thus achieving a counterattack.
Anticipation, like a flame, burns brightly in everyone’s heart.
Haruko Akagi also came to the basketball hall.
Her little face was slightly red and she was breathing heavily.
Then she looked towards the field and saw that the two sides were still in confrontation.
“Huhu! Looks like it’s not over yet. I finally caught up.”
“The atmosphere was really high.”
The tense heart finally calmed down.
“Haruko, I say, I say, you run too fast.”
The girl with sausage mouth was also breathing heavily, with her hands on the door, looking extremely tired.
When Haruko heard what the girl with sausage lips said, she smiled and blinked her bright eyes.
“Hey, Matsui, to be honest, I used to be an athlete.”
Then he locked onto Ayako’s position and pulled Matsui over.
Before he reached Ayako, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was standing next to her, suddenly turned around and looked at Haruko with a perverted look on his face, as if he was grateful to her.
“Haruko, Haruko, are you here to see this genius?”
He immediately threw away the basketball in his hand, trotted over, put his right hand behind his head, and laughed like a child.
Sakuragi’s action made Matsui on the side shrink back involuntarily, obviously a little afraid of this big guy.
“Well, Sakuragi Hanamichi, did you behave well?”
When Haruko saw Sakuragi Hanamichi, she immediately asked with concern.
After all, it was she who introduced Sakuragi Hanamichi to the basketball team.
“Well, well…”
Hearing Haruko’s words, Sakuragi Hanamichi’s face turned red and he was at a loss for words.
The footsteps slowly moved towards Ayako.
Ayako also came to her senses, and seeing Haruko coming, she asked enthusiastically.
“Haruko, you’re here. Are you here to cheer for Captain Akagi? Or are you here to cheer for Rukawa Kaede?”
Then he winked at Haruko with a naughty expression.
Haruko looked at Ayako’s naughty expression, her pretty face blushed, she nodded, then shook her head, and then glanced at Rukawa Kaede on the court.
While they were talking.
There was the sound of a basketball going through the net.
The spectators in the audience exclaimed in amazement.
“That freshman made another long shot.”
“What an amazing strength.”
“Wow! It’s so cool!!”
During this time, some innocent girls couldn’t help but scream loudly when they saw Long Yan sweating on the field.
Haruko and the others’ attention were also drawn over.
“Haruko, that guy is amazing.”
“Could it be the first-year student your brother was talking about?”
Matsui looked at Long Yan on the court with a look of shock. She saw the long-range shot clearly.
Then he asked Haruko uncertainly.
After hearing Matsui’s words, Haruko’s beautiful eyes shifted from Rukawa to Ryuhiko.
The moment she saw Long Yan, her heart seemed to stop and her eyes immediately turned into hearts.
“So handsome, so handsome, that guy is so handsome, could he be the new student my brother mentioned?”
Ayako watched Haruko, who was gradually becoming infatuated with her, without saying anything, but just shook her head.
Seeing Haruko like this.
Sakuragi Hanamichi went berserk.
He came to Coach Anxi, supported Coach Anxi’s back with his left hand, and kept patting the latter’s chin with his right hand.
“Dad, Dad, I am also a member of the basketball team. They are all on the court, so I want to play too.”
This rough movement immediately attracted the attention of Takenori Akagi.
“That idiot, what is he doing again?”
He put down the basketball in his hand and walked towards Sakuragi Hanamichi angrily.
After he and Miyagi linked up for a slam dunk, it was thought that the first-year players’ morale would be lowered, but unexpectedly, just after half court, Long Yan made a long three-pointer.
It made him feel quite aggrieved.
Sakuragi Hanamichi actually bumped directly into the muzzle of the gun.
Seeing Akagi Takenori put down the basketball, the others were also confused. Then, seeing Sakuragi Hanamichi’s outrageous behavior, they instantly understood the whole story and silently prayed for Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Next second
A heavy iron fist hit Sakuragi Hanamichi on the head, and then he let out a roar like a wild beast.
“What are you doing, you idiot?”
The whole audience was silent.
Chapter 15: Sakuragi Hanamichi enters the stage! (Old version)
Accompanied by Akagi’s roar.
All eyes were on Sakuragi Hanamichi.
“Look, isn’t that the guy who competed with Akagi before?”
“Is he also a member of the basketball team?”
“I can’t believe that such a rude guy is also on the basketball team. He is totally different from the other freshman.”
Suddenly, many people compared Sakuragi Hanamichi and Ryuhiko.
He was so rude to his own coach. It was fine at school, but what would happen if he went to a competition outside? It would be a disgrace to Xiangbei High School.
“Damn gorilla, why do I have to do the basic training alone when we are all newcomers? Everyone else can play, but why can’t I?”
Sakuragi Hanamichi immediately got up from the ground and questioned Akagi Takenori.
He originally wanted to show off in front of Haruko, but he didn’t expect that instead of showing off, he made a fool of himself.
Akagi Takenori did not make any concessions.
He pushed his face into Sakuragi Hanamichi’s face and spitted everywhere.
“You are a complete layman now. What else can you do besides throwing tantrums and rolling around?”
“We don’t need people without perseverance on our basketball team.”
At the end of the conversation, Akagi Takenori scolded without any mercy.
As Akagi Takenori said this, the other members of the team looked surprised.
The whole audience was silent. Sui had never expected that such a situation would happen in an internal team practice match. He could not help but keep his mouth shut, fearing that he would anger Akagi and Sakuragi.
Akagi Haruko and Ayako looked at each other in astonishment.
“Brother, what happened?”
“Why did Akagi-senpai suddenly get so angry?”
I am confused.
But only Akagi himself knew that now was the time to dampen the arrogance of the first-year students, but Sakuragi Hanamichi suddenly jumped out. As the saying goes, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot, and in a moment of impulse, he blurted out everything that was in his mind.
Coach Anxi saw the conflict between the two escalating and spoke slowly.
“Akagi Takenori, what Sakuragi Hanamichi said is not wrong, why not let him play? Hehehe.”
Hearing what Coach Anzai said, Akagi Takenori was stunned.
“Coach Anxi, this guy hasn’t even mastered the basics. If he were to go on the court, who knows what would happen.”
Then he took a deep breath, calmed his anger, and explained.
“Who said that?”
When Sakuragi Hanamichi heard what Akagi said, he instantly became unhappy.
“Now let me show you, a gorilla, the power of this genius.”
As he said this, he picked up a ball from the ground with one hand.
He dribbled the ball madly at a very fast speed.
Caizi on the side was stunned.
“Sakuragi Hanamichi? When did you learn this move?”
Not only Ayako, but also senior team members such as Murasaki, Miyagi, and Shiozaki were stunned.
Is this still the Sakuragi Hanamichi they know?
Rukawa Kaede curled his lips.
“Big idiot, just loves to be in the spotlight.”
Although he said this, he was still surprised. The growth rate of this guy Sakuragi Hanamichi was indeed impressive.
“Amazing! I never knew that young man had such strength.”
“Akagi, let him play.”
“Let him play!”
For a moment, many people off the court, seeing Sakuragi Hanamichi’s skillful dribbling, spoke up for him.
Listen to the praises from people around you.
Sakuragi Hanamichi’s face was full of pride and his eyes were staring straight at Akagi.
As if to say, how about it? Are you convinced?
A touching smile suddenly appeared on Haruko’s originally bewildered face.
“Sakuragi Hanamichi, look, they are all cheering for you.”
Seeing Sakuragi’s performance, Haruko was happy from the bottom of her heart.
Akagi Takenori looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi with a smug look on his face and gently patted his forehead with his hand.
“Okay, okay, I’m afraid of you.”
“Since Coach Anxi has said so, let you play.”
Now that so many people are speaking up for Sakuragi Hanamichi, it would be a bit unreasonable for him to stop them. He could only reluctantly agree to Sakuragi Hanamichi’s request to play.
Coach Anzai looked at the high-spirited Sakuragi Hanamichi and smiled kindly.
“Haha, let him go up and give it a try.”
He now wants to see how Sakuragi Hanamichi, Rukawa Kaede, and Ryuhiko will cooperate.
“Okay, then Kuwata, you leave the court and let Sakuragi Hanamichi take your place.”
After Coach Anzai spoke, Akagi didn’t have much to say. He could only replace the weak Kuwata to prevent Sakuragi Hanamichi from causing trouble again.
Hearing Akagi’s words, Kuwata breathed a sigh of relief.
“Okay, Sakuragi Hanamichi, it’s up to you. With Ryuhiko and Rukawa Kaede here, and you, Sakuragi Hanamichi, we will definitely win.”
After Miyagi’s return, the field was full of oppression and he had long wanted to go off the field to rest.
When Sakuragi Hanamichi heard what Kuwata said, he looked very proud.
“Sangtian, just sit back and watch how this genius resolves the battle with one move!”
And these words reached Long Yan’s ears.
The corners of his mouth could not help but twitch, and he recalled in his mind the scene in the original work where Sakuragi Hanamichi’s slam dunk hit Akagi Takenori on the head, which indeed ended the battle. It seemed that the good show was about to begin, and he began to pray for Akagi Takenori in his heart.
“Captain, you’ll do as you please from now on.”
Soon, the farce was over.
At the gate of the basketball hall, Hikoichi Aida arrived late.
Chapter 16: Innate Talent! (Old Version)
After Sakuragi Hanamichi came on the court, all eyes were on him.
“Hey, big fool, let us see your strength.”
“That’s right, show the same momentum you just dribbled with.”
They wanted to see what this shameless guy was capable of.
He actually said that the battle would be resolved with a slam dunk.
Hikoichi Aida found a random seat and sat down. The unusually lively atmosphere around him made him particularly excited.
“It seems like today is the perfect time to come here. Is this a team practice match?”
“Yoshi, I must observe every contestant carefully.”
Then he glanced around casually.
Score board.
The number above surprised him.
“Nari? 30:13?”
“A first grader is so far ahead?”
“It seems that I have observed carefully.”
After that, he put the notebook in his hand and began to observe the players on the field.
The first is Takenori Akagi, followed by veteran players such as Ryouta Miyagi.
Then it was the first-year freshmen such as Rukawa Kaede, Sakuragi Hanamichi, and Ryuhiko.
Rukawa Kaede, the super rookie king in junior high school, must be the ace player of Shohoku High School now.
As for Sakuragi Hanamichi and Ryuhiko, he was confused. Who were these two people?
“No, no, we must observe carefully. This is important information for Lingnan.”
He shook his head vigorously, his eyes fixed on the movements on the field.
Long Yan put his hands on his hips and gave Sakuragi Hanamichi a meaningful smile.
“Sakuragi Hanamichi, it’s up to you to perform from now on.”
In the long confrontation with Miyagi just now, he could clearly feel that his physical strength was beginning to decline, and he was afraid that he could not hold on for much longer.
Moreover, after shooting a three-pointer, the system task did not appear again. I am afraid that all the tasks for today have been completed. There is no need to continue to show off. The key is to conserve energy and score key goals for the freshmen.
“No problem, foreign student, you’ve done a great job. I’ll take care of the rest.”
Sakuragi Hanamichi put his hands in his trouser pockets, gave Long Yan a thumbs up, and looked very proud.
Then his eyes seemed to flash as he looked at Rukawa Kaede who was also on the court.
“Ryukawa, don’t expect me to pass the ball to you.”
He curled his lips and said with disgust.
Rukawa Kaede just glanced at Sakuragi Hanamichi calmly without saying anything, and was ready to continue fighting.
This time, Akagi did not give it to Miyagi Ryouta, but to Murasakibara.
“Kumure, go teach that guy Sakuragi Hanamichi a lesson.”
When Murasakibara received the ball, Akagi started muttering to himself.
Now, with Sakuragi Hanamichi on the court, it is the best chance to score and teach that unmannerly guy Sakuragi Hanamichi a lesson.
“Akagi, this, this is not good.”
While holding the ball, Murasakibara communicated with Akagi in a low voice.
Although Ryuhiko is pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, Sakuragi Hanamichi is a real layman. Bullying the weak has never been Murasakibara’s strong point.
“Okay, it’s decided.”
“Miyagi and I will try to give you a chance to play singles later.”
After Akagi finished speaking, he adjusted his pace and ran towards the front court with Miyagi.
At this point, Mu Mu was helpless.
Now that things have come to this, this is the only way.
Carrying the ball to the center line.
The one who came to defend was Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Mu Mu showed a comforting smile: “Sakuragi Hanamichi, be careful, I am about to break through.”
For beginners like Sakuragi Hanamichi, he still reminds them as always.
“Hey, Four Eyes, just come and give it a try.”
“I am here to guard you, don’t even think about getting through.”
When Sakuragi Hanamichi heard what Murasakibara said, he couldn’t help but laugh triumphantly.
He had seen Murasakibara’s performance on the field, and he wouldn’t take it seriously that someone hadn’t even gotten a single share so far.
“Sakuragi Hanamichi, concentrate!”
Seeing this, Long Yan frowned and started yelling.
Just as he finished speaking.
Murasakibara increased his dribbling speed and with a quick acceleration, he broke through from the left side of Sakuragi Hanamichi.
“Ah? Damn it, Four Eyes, you bastard, I’m not even ready for you!”
When Sakuragi Hanamichi came to his senses, Murasakibara had already broken through, and he started complaining wildly.
When Akagi saw Murasakibara break through, he immediately ran around, looking for a suitable opportunity to attack the basket.
“Good! Successful breakthrough.”
Murasakibara sighed in his heart, at this moment, he seemed to have found the lost sense of accomplishment in Sakuragi Hanamichi.
But before he could finish his words, Sakuragi Hanamichi’s body once again blocked Murasakibara’s way.
“You can’t get rid of this genius so easily.”
No skills, just burst.
His speed and reaction ability are several levels higher than Murasakibara’s.
Looking at the sudden appearance of Sakuragi Hanamichi, Murasaki was shocked.
It wasn’t just Murasaki who was shocked. Akagi and Miyagi also agreed with this.
“That guy Sakuragi Hanamichi has such quick reaction ability.”
Although Sakuragi Hanamichi is a complete beginner, his reaction ability is indeed top-notch.
Long Yan smiled faintly.
But don’t underestimate Sakuragi Hanamichi. After all, among the people he has scanned so far, Sakuragi Hanamichi ranks first in terms of basketball skills.
If he had the physical strength of Sakuragi Hanamichi, wow, he would be able to reach the sky in one step.
Just when everyone was shocked by Sakuragi Hanamichi’s speed.
Sakuragi Hanamichi somehow managed to intercept the ball from Murasakibara’s hand.
“Yoshi, steal the ball, fast break, fast break!!”
He also shouted like Sangtian.
Suddenly, everyone except Long Yan felt incredible.
Chapter 17: Team training ends, mortal enemies? (Old version)
Everyone was stunned to see Sakuragi Hanamichi actually steal the ball.
I didn’t expect that this guy who shouts all day long has this skill.
However.
Before everyone could react.
Mu Mu quickly followed.
Seeing someone, Sakuragi Hanamichi became anxious and prepared to dribble quickly to the front court.
Immediately.
The basketball slipped right out of his hands.
Murasakibara seized the opportunity and snatched the ball back.
“this……..”
Seeing this scene, everyone held their foreheads in their hands.
Sure enough, it’s unreliable.
Murasaki took the basketball and threw it hard at Akagi.
Akagi took the ball and made another signature dunk.
Excite the whole audience.
“Sakuragi Hanamichi, it’s a hundred years too early for you to score a goal.”
Akagi came in front of Sakuragi Hanamichi and mocked him mercilessly.
Then he ran towards the backcourt.
Mu Mu was ashamed and looked at the two of them helplessly. It seemed that something was going to go wrong again.
When Sakuragi Hanamichi heard what Akagi said, veins bulged on his forehead.
“Damn it, gorilla, you actually looked down on me.”
Prepare to run away now.
“Sakuragi Hanamichi, don’t worry, I’ll pass the ball to you later.”
When Long Yan saw Sakuragi Hanamichi trembling, he hurried to comfort him.
At this point, Sakuragi Hanamichi felt a little better.
Looking at Long Yan with eyes full of gratitude.
“Long Yan, you are the best. Don’t worry, I won’t be careless.”
“Gorilla, just wait for me.”
Then he gave Akagi who was defending a ferocious look.
“Pay attention to Long Yan’s three-point shot.”
When Akagi saw Ryuhiko holding the ball, he immediately reminded Miyagi who was in charge of defense.
Miyagi immediately followed suit and stared at Long Yan, fearing that he would shoot as soon as he crossed half court.
After all, he has felt it, and that feeling is truly indescribable.
Not only Miyagi, but even Murasaki, who was guarding Sakuragi Hanamichi, unconsciously moved closer to Ryuhiko.
Sakuragi Hanamichi was left aside.
“They, they are planning to double-team!”
“Isn’t Rukawa Kaede the ace player of Xiangbei, but him?”
“Write it down, write it down!”
Seeing the two men double-teaming Long Yan, Yan Yi, who was off the court, was shocked.
It’s only halftime, and they’re already being treated like this? As we all know, double-teaming can limit a person’s scoring to the greatest extent.
This double-team was not used on Rukawa Kaede, but on Ryuhiko.
It looked like the double team was about to take shape.
Ishii’s face was filled with anxiety.
“Ryuhiko, pass the ball to Sakuragi Hanamichi!”
At this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi was unguarded.
Akagi stared at Rukawa Kaede, not giving him any chance at all.
When Sakuragi Hanamichi saw that Ryuhiko was in a bad situation, he waved frantically for the ball.
All eyes were on Long Yan. How would this super scorer perform now?
Long Yan looked at the two people who were coming to double-team him.
He grinned and said, “The seniors really think highly of me. Two of them came to defend me.”
But this also just aroused his fighting spirit, but now is not the time to fight two people alone.
“Brother, there is no other way. We cannot take it lightly when facing a guy like you.”
There was a gleam in Mu Mu’s glasses. At this moment, he had already regarded Long Yan as a difficult first-year player.
Although Miyagi didn’t say anything, he agreed with Murasakibara’s words.
The Long Yan in front of him was more than ten centimeters taller than him, so his success rate in defending was quite low.
Now, he wanted to see what Long Yan would do next.
The next second, something unexpected happened.
“Sakuragi Hanamichi, catch it!”
Looking at the double team, Long Yan’s mouth curled up slightly.
It’s just a trap, Sakuragi Hanamichi, let’s put an end to it!
With a swish, he passed the basketball in his hand to Sakuragi Hanamichi in the distance.
At this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi caught the basketball steadily.
“Long Yan, it’s just as you said. Come on, watch this genius Sakuragi Hanamichi dunk.”
Without Murasakibara’s defense, Sakuragi Hanamichi completely let himself go. After thanking Ryuhiko, he grabbed the basketball and rushed to the basket.
When everyone saw this, they suddenly realized that Ryuhiko was creating a scoring opportunity for Sakuragi Hanamichi.
But what’s the point of passing the ball to Sakuragi Hanamichi?
Akagi Takenori saw Sakuragi Hanamichi jumping up.
Shouted.
“Kid, if you want to dunk, you’re a hundred years too early.”
He knew Sakuragi Hanamichi’s character very well. He liked to be in the spotlight and would never pass the ball to Rukawa. In that case, he would teach Sakuragi Hanamichi a lesson.
Take a leap.
The people around all had tense expressions. My goodness, even slaughtering a pig doesn’t have such momentum.
Sakuragi Hanamichi made a stunning slam dunk, but the ball did not go into the basket, but instead hit Akagi Takenori heavily on the head.
Even though Akagi was strong, he could not withstand the heavy blow from Sakuragi Hanamichi. He let out a wail, fell from mid-air, and hit the ground heavily.
Seeing this, everyone was stunned.
My goodness, what a deep hatred between these two.
“Captain Akagi!!”
“team leader!”
Seeing this, Murasaki and others shouted in worry.
Sakuragi Hanamichi was stunned, and Akagi slowly stood up with an extremely gloomy face.
“Asshole, I must teach you a lesson.”
Without waiting for Sakuragi Hanamichi to explain, Akagi held Sakuragi Hanamichi’s neck tightly with both hands, not giving the latter a chance to breathe.
Murasaki and others hurried over to stop the fight.
For a moment, the scene became extremely chaotic.
Due to Sakuragi Hanamichi’s farce, the game ended early.
Coach Anxi half-closed his eyes and looked at the chaotic scene with a smile.
Having said that, every player basically showed his or her best side.
He saw a different light in Long Yan.
Chapter 18: Domination of the country is just around the corner! (Old version)
Team training is over.
The onlookers left the basketball court in groups of three or five.
“Hahaha, that guy Sakuragi Hanamichi is really a genius at comedy.”
“Yeah, he’s really brave enough to actually dunk over Akagi Takenori’s head.”
“But the freshman, I think his name is Long Yan, he is very handsome and his basketball skills are also very good. I am really looking forward to the next game.”
The departing audience still reminisces about what happened in the team training with great interest.
I think it won’t be long before Long Yan’s name will be heard throughout Xiangbei High School.
“Everyone come and gather!”
Akagi Takenori roared like a wild beast.
At his command,
The team members gathered quickly and stood in a neat row. At first glance, there were two particularly obvious red spots on the top of Sakuragi Hanamichi’s head. It must be the masterpiece of Akagi Takenori.
The first-year student held his head high, his face full of pride, and his eyes occasionally glanced at Long Yan.
During the team training, ignoring what Sakuragi Hanamichi did, their first-year team, led by Ryuhiko and Rukawa Kaede, took a big lead.
In my heart, I regard Long Yan as the backbone of the first grade.
“Haha, you all did an excellent job.”
Coach Anxi walked slowly and stood in front of the team. He half-closed his eyes, thought for a while, then smiled and commented on each point.
“First of all, freshman Ryuhiko’s performance is very good. Whether it’s explosiveness, shooting, or leadership… he has a high level of accomplishment and is fully qualified to be a regular player. However, he still needs to continue to train his physical strength. It’s just a matter of time before Xiangbei dominates the country.”
As he spoke, he gave Long Yan an approving smile, like a respected old grandfather, his smile was extremely kind.
After hearing Coach Anxi’s evaluation of Long Yan, Akagi and others were shocked, with huge waves in their hearts. They couldn’t help but focus their eyes on Long Yan, especially Akagi. Since Coach Anxi came here, he has never heard Coach Anxi praise someone like this.
Long Yan looked at the envious eyes of the crowd, his old face turned red, and he felt a little shy. Then he coughed twice and spoke in a very firm tone.
“Coach Anxi, you are too serious, but my goal is not to dominate the country, but to dominate the world.”
As soon as these words came out.
The whole audience was silent, except for Rukawa Kaede, who was collectively surprised.
“Dominate the world? Good boy, you have ambition!”
They didn’t expect that Long Yan had such high ambitions. They originally wanted to refute him, but judging from Long Yan’s performance, his future is not certain. His talent is obvious and he is making rapid progress.
Coach Anxi’s eyes flashed and he nodded with satisfaction.
Rukawa Kaede seemed to be thinking about something and remained silent, but one could vaguely see a hint of fire burning in his eyes as he looked at Long Yan.
Just as everyone was amazed, Coach Anxi spoke again.
“Ryukawa Kaede also performed quite well, but remember, don’t play alone. Basketball is a five-person sport. You need to improve your tacit understanding with your teammates in the future.”
Rukawa listened to Coach Anzai’s words in silence, but he had no way to refute it. He scored more points by singles on the court and rarely cooperated with his teammates.
“The next one is Sakuragi Hanamichi, who is very energetic and has great athletic talent. Only by training the basics of basketball well can the talent be realized.”
When Sakuragi Hanamichi listened to Coach Anzai’s words, the depressed feeling he had just had disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a look of pride.
“Hahahaha, that’s what I told you, I’m a genius!”
The others didn’t say anything, but all of them pouted their lips in unison, looking disgusted.
After listening to Coach Anxi’s comments.
Everyone thanked in unison: “Thank you, Coach Anxi. We will work harder.”
“Haha, okay, then you guys continue training, I’ll be leaving first.”
Coach Anxi, with his fat belly sticking out, turned around and left the basketball hall with a smile.
As the sun sets, golden light shines on everyone’s face.
Akagi after Coach Anzai left.
The lecture began.
“Everyone performed well in this team practice match.”
“In a week, we will have a practice match with Ryonan High School. I think everyone knows how difficult Ryonan High School is, so don’t fall behind in training.”
He is now full of expectations for Ryonan’s game.
What kind of game will happen when Xiangbei faces Lingnan?
At least, after the team training, the appearance of Ryuhiko and Rukawa Kaede boosted his confidence. Perhaps in his last year of high school, he could achieve that goal of dominating the country.
After the team training, everyone took their tools and started cleaning the basketball court.
About an hour later.
After saying goodbye to his teammates one by one, Long Yan went to the locker room to change clothes and prepare to go to his home in this world.
And when Long Yan changed his clothes and walked out of the basketball hall.
Aida Hikoichi appeared in front of him.
Chapter 19: Dinner Storm: No Money! (Old Version)
At Xiangbei High School, Long Yan was sitting on a bench.
Talking with Yanyi.
When the female students passing by glanced at Long Yan, they couldn’t help but take a few more glances.
“Look, isn’t that the freshman Long Yan from the basketball team?”
“I heard from classmates that in the team’s practice match, he led the freshmen to a big lead over the seniors.”
“Is this true? It seems that he is not only handsome, but also a good basketball player. Next time there is a game, I must go to watch it.”
moment.
Ayako walked by here pushing her bicycle.
When he saw Long Yan, he shouted, “Brother Long Yan, why are you here? Why don’t you go back?”
When Long Yan saw Cai Zi, he greeted her enthusiastically: “Senior, how did you know I was waiting for you here?”
After saying that, he smiled happily at Ayako.
This smile made Caizi blush, and then she bit her lips: “How about we go together?”
She just happened to have something to tell Long Yan about training, so she asked tentatively.
“Okay, no problem, Yanyi, I’ll leave first, and I’ll find you at Ryonan High School later.”
Long Yan patted Yan Yi’s shoulder, acting very familiar.
“Well, don’t forget our agreement. I won’t bother you anymore. Goodbye.”
When Yanyi saw Ayako coming, although he was young, he still understood some things between men and women. He greeted Ayako politely and left Shohoku High School tactfully.
Hearing Yanyi’s words.
Ayako’s face turned red and she smoothed her hair with her hands to ease the embarrassment.
“Then Long Yan classmate, let’s go.”
Long Yan looked at the cute Ayako and smiled slightly.
“Let’s go.”
I didn’t expect that a girl like Ayako, who has a carefree personality, would also have this kind of feminine side.
The two laughed at the same time and slowly walked out of the gate of Xiangbei High School.
On the street.
“Oh, by the way, that guy just now is from Ryonan High School, right? Do you know him?”
At this time, Ayako came back to her senses and the image of Hikoichi’s clothes appeared in her mind.
“His name is Yanyi. He’s on the Ryonan High School basketball team. He’s an interesting guy.”
Long Yan introduced Yan Yi’s identity. The guy left in a hurry just now and he forgot to introduce him.
“Ryonan High School? Basketball team? What do you want?”
When Ayako heard about the Ryonan High School basketball team, she stopped and asked.
Could it be that Long Yan has some unknown secret with the Ryonan High School basketball team?
“Hahaha, senior, you are too sensitive. He is my friend and just a substitute in the team. What? Are you afraid that I will do something to let Xiangbei down?”
Seeing Ayako’s puzzled look, Long Yan couldn’t help but pat Ayako’s shoulder and grinned.
Ayako looked at Long Yan in front of her, who was switching between the modes of a handsome guy and a fool, and sighed helplessly.
“Oh, okay, okay, I believe you and you won’t do anything to let Xiangbei down.”
“Then why did he come to see you?”
Caizi then asked again.
“Well, about the competition, okay, senior sister, can you first tell me where there are good food nearby? I’m almost starving.”
Long Yan kept the question in suspense and did not explain it directly. Instead, he immediately changed the subject, fearing that Caizi would continue to ask questions.
“Oh, we haven’t eaten yet.”
“Hey, there’s a new sushi restaurant nearby, how about we go try it?”
Ayako touched her slender belly with her hand and made a gurgling sound.
Then I remembered that I hadn’t eaten yet.
“Okay, let me treat you to this meal.”
Long Yan was also feeling extremely hungry at this time, and had originally planned to find an opportunity to treat Ayako to a meal to repay her for taking care of him before, and now was the perfect time to do so.
“You’re treating? Then I won’t be polite, hahaha.”
When Ayako heard Long Yan offer to treat her, she accepted the offer without hesitation.
Long Yan didn’t say anything, but just smiled along, thinking to himself, what a carefree girl with a good personality.
The two crossed the street and came to a sushi restaurant.
The decoration is rather monotonous, but under the lighting, it really whets people’s appetite.
“Welcome to Kumamoto Sushi Restaurant. What would you like to eat?”
When the sushi restaurant owner saw Long Yan and the other man coming, he greeted them warmly and politely.
After eating and drinking.
“Boss, pay the bill!”
Long Yan called out to the boss loudly.
Then he searched for his wallet.
But after searching for a long time, I realized, embarrassingly, I forgot to bring my wallet.
But at this time, the boss had already arrived.
“Thank you both, the total is 10,000 yen.”
The sushi owner looked at Long Yan with a smile and handed the bill to him.
Long Yan looked at the bill, then looked at Ayako awkwardly.
“Senior, um, I don’t have any money!!”
Chapter 20 Am I a Rich Second Generation? (Old Version)
Ayako didn’t say anything. She took the receipt from the boss and frowned.
I couldn’t help but feel surprised.
It’s so expensive? How much did two people eat? It’s as high as 10,000 yen. Is it a shady shop?
After Long Yan finished speaking.
The air froze instantly.
No money? How can you do this? Are you planning to eat a free meal?
The boss’s face turned gloomy in an instant.
“Boy, you have no money and you come to eat with us?”
“What a courage!”
The sushi restaurant owner was extremely angry when he encountered someone who wanted to dine and free when the new store opened.
Long Yan at the table couldn’t help but frown and question.
“Free meal? When did I ever say I wanted to free meal?”
“Is your sushi rice made of gold?”
“Or do you think we are easy to bully and want to blackmail us?”
Although Long Yan has a relatively mild temper, he was still a little angry when he heard the sushi restaurant owner say that.
Not to mention the price of the sushi, Long Yan couldn’t stand the temper of the store owner.
The boss stared at Long Yan with a snobbish look on his face.
“Then take out the money.”
“Don’t make me do it.”
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was ready to start a fight if they had a disagreement.
“What? You want to hit someone in broad daylight?”
Long Yan was not afraid of the boss’s threat at all and glared at him.
If you dare to do it, do you think I won’t dare to do it?
At the critical moment, Ayako suddenly stood up.
“Isn’t it just money? Everyone has that!”
After saying that, Ayako took out a wallet from her schoolbag.
But when she saw the money in her wallet, she looked embarrassed.
The boss also glanced at Ayako’s wallet.
When he saw this, he became as angry as if a volcano erupted!
Damn it, there’s only 5,000 yen in your wallet at most!
How dare you shout in front of me?
“Damn! I think you guys really want to eat a free meal!”
“Someone, come here! Arrest them both! We will let them go when their families pay the ransom!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the employees in the store immediately ran over with their weapons in hand.
They surrounded Long Yan and Cai Zi together.
Everyone else in the sushi restaurant was shocked by this scene.
I couldn’t help but mourn for Long Yan and the other man in my heart.
“This is so tragic! This boss is known for his bad temper!”
“If these two people fall into his hands, I think they will suffer a lot!”
“Misery? Isn’t this their own fault? How can they eat without money? Isn’t this just asking for trouble?”
The employees in the store gradually approached Long Yan and the other person.
Seeing this situation, Caizi immediately panicked.
As a student, she had never seen such scenes!
But Long Yan remained calm and protected Ayako behind him.
Just as the employees in the store were about to take action, a roar was heard in the distance.
“stop!”
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound.
Who is this person?
I don’t know him at all!
Long Yan also frowned. Could it be that this person was here to find him?
“What did they do? Do you want to arrest them?”
When the man came closer, he glared at the boss angrily.
“Are you their parent? They ate at my place and didn’t want to pay. They want to run away with the bill.”
The aura of the person who came was too strong, and the boss couldn’t help but feel scared.
“How many?”
“Ten thousand yen!”
“Is five million yen enough to buy your store?”
The visitor simply took out a bank card and threw it to the boss.
Hearing this, the boss was stunned.
Such a big deal?
You know, all in all, it only cost him about 3 million yen to open this store.
But with so much money, you’d be a fool not to make it.
The boss immediately took the bank card with a smile.
“Enough is enough! Absolutely enough!”
“That’s enough. From now on, he is your boss!”
The person pointed at Long Yan.
Everyone looked surprised.
What is going on?
The boss was just about to say something when he saw the man walking up to Long Yan with a respectful look on his face.
“Master, I finally found you!”
Young master?
A hundred thousand questions suddenly popped up in Long Yan’s mind.
Could it be that I am now a rich second generation?
“Master, please don’t be angry. The master misses you very much. Come home with me!”
Some information about this person immediately emerged in Long Yan’s mind.
His father’s assistant.
As for him, he accidentally sprained his ankle while playing basketball before, so his father didn’t allow him to touch basketball anymore.
Of course Long Yan refused to do so and had a big quarrel with his father.
I haven’t been home for several days.
“Ah? I have to go to training with my senior later, let’s talk after training!”
Long Yan came to his senses and made up an excuse.
Caizi was confused.
train?
Didn’t you just finish training?
“Master, you must be careful!”
“Got it! I’ll be home soon.”
Hearing this, the visitor felt instantly relieved.
It seems that Young Master Long Yan is no longer angry.
“Okay! I’ll tell the master right away.”
“Whatever! I’m going to go train.”
“Please arrange for someone to run this store. I don’t have time.”
“He, you guys can handle it as you wish.”
Long Yan looked at the owner of the sushi restaurant nearby, said something lightly, and then pulled Ayako, who looked stunned, out of the sushi restaurant.
I wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but what I got in return was alienation.
I won’t pretend anymore. I’m going to reveal my cards. I’m a rich second-generation.
Chapter 21: Huge Mansion, Shocked Long Yan! (Old Version)
After the sushi restaurant incident.
Long Yan held Ayako with his left hand and pushed the bicycle with his right hand.
After about a few minutes, passers-by on the road would occasionally glance at Long Yan.
Um?
He frowned, blinked, and looked at his left hand tightly holding Ayako’s hand.
His old face turned red, and he quickly loosened his hand and apologized.
“Ah, this, I’m sorry, Senior, I was just excited.”
I left in such a hurry that I forgot about Ayako.
Ayako, who is usually outgoing, blushed on her pretty face and looked away evasively.
“No, it’s okay.”
Thinking back to the moment when Long Yan showed his overwhelming manliness in the sushi restaurant just now, her heart was beating like a rabbit.
It’s so cool.
Unconsciously, Long Yan had caused a slight change in her heart.
Then the two looked at each other and burst into laughter.
“Hahaha, I didn’t expect something like this would happen while eating sushi.”
This was something Long Yan had not expected.
“Yeah, it’s Junior Brother Long Yan, you guy, I didn’t realize you’re actually a rich second generation.”
Ayako patted Ryuhiko’s shoulder, squinted her eyes, and smiled wickedly.
She didn’t expect that Long Yan was not only a great player, but also had an impressive family background.
After looking Long Yan up and down, he asked curiously: “Junior Long Yan, why did you come to Japan to study? What do you think of Japan?”
Hearing what Caizi said, Long Yan frowned, pretended to think for a while and replied: “It feels good, especially playing with everyone, it’s quite fun.”
He just made up an excuse. As for why he came to Japan, to be honest, he didn’t know.
“Hahaha, you’re quite sweet. By the way, I go for a run every morning. I see that although you are good at playing basketball, your stamina doesn’t seem to be very good. The game is coming soon, how about going for a run together?”
“Let’s meet by the river. Is that okay?”
Ayako felt warm in her heart and then asked tentatively.
“Sure, see you tomorrow morning then.”
He didn’t object to this. Running with a beautiful woman was something he couldn’t even think of as a otaku in his previous life.
“Okay, I’ll go back first, see you tomorrow.”
After the two continued chatting for a while, they went home.
Based on his memories of this life, Long Yan easily found the location of his home.
Judging from the sushi restaurant he visited, his shouldn’t be too bad, but even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the scene before him.
In front of him, the large garden covering several thousand square meters was his home in this life.
“Wow! That looks really good.”
The corners of Long Yan’s mouth rose slightly. Reincarnation is a technical job. It seems that he is really a rich second generation.
“Hello, Master. You are back.”
As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, the servant greeted me respectfully.
Long Yan nodded slightly.
Walk inside.
Looking at the exquisitely carved garden potted plants, I couldn’t help but marvel.
If we look at this style based on the imperial capital of the previous life, the value would be at least several hundred million.
Walking slowly in the courtyard, looking around to admire it.
Arrived at the gate.
The romantic and solemn temperament, the high-ceilinged foyer and the majestic door, the round arched windows and the stone corners all show its elegance and luxury.
Out of curiosity, Long Yan began to “visit” his home in this life.
About half an hour or so.
Long Yancai walked around the entire room without seeing his parents in this life.
It seems that businessmen are racing against time to make money.
Long Yan sat on the spiral staircase and sighed deeply, with his hands on his waist: “Oh! This house is too big.”
Then he looked at the time.
Before I knew it, it was already ten o’clock.
After a short rest, he simply washed up, set the alarm, and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day.
“bite!!!!!!”
The alarm clock on the bedside table rang, waking Long Yan from his dream.
“Ah! What a comfortable sleep!”
Long Yan turned off the alarm clock with his hand, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the faint light outside the window.
Slowly sat up.
Since it was almost May, the sky outside was getting brighter.
After simply washing up and changing into sportswear, Long Yan walked out of the house.
Not long.
He then came to the meeting point that Ayako had mentioned.
As soon as I arrived, I heard Ayako’s voice.
“Hi! Junior Long Yan, I didn’t expect you to be so punctual.”
Today, Ayako is wearing a loose blue sportswear, a pink baseball cap, and a long ponytail, exuding a youthful aura.
“Senior, I didn’t expect you to arrive so early. Hehe, where should we start running? You lead the way, and I’ll follow behind you.”
Long Yan stretched his muscles and looked Ayako up and down.
“Okay! Let’s go!”
Ayako nodded slightly, stretched her muscles, and prepared for her morning run.
Chapter 22 Physical Training! (Old Version)
After a few minutes, the warm-up is over.
Ayako ran ahead.
Long Yan also hurriedly followed.
I have to say, Ayako’s physical strength is really amazing.
She controlled the running rhythm very well and didn’t feel tired at all after running five kilometers.
As expected, he is the manager of the Xiangbei basketball team!
“Brother Long Yan, how do you feel? Are you tired?”
Ayako gradually stopped and the sweet sweat on her face slid down her cheeks like glass balls. She asked Long Yan with a smile on her face.
“With my senior leading me, I feel like I can still run another two kilometers.”
Long Yan was breathing heavily, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and he spoke intermittently.
“Not bad. If you keep running like this, your physical strength should be able to improve a lot.”
Ayako comforted Ryuhiko.
“Hey, senior, let’s go back to school. If we’re any later, we’ll probably be late.”
Long Yan looked at the watch on his hand and reminded himself.
[Detect the host to complete the hidden task][Reward: 3 points of physical strength]The system’s voice sounded in Long Yan’s mind.
“award?”
“Is this all right?”
“Hehe, not bad, not bad, it seems that running is a good decision.”
Long Yan’s originally tired body suddenly felt a little recovered.
I don’t know if I can get system rewards for running in the future.
If you run five kilometers, you will get a little physical strength reward. What if you run ten kilometers or a hundred kilometers?
If you run normally, it can strengthen your body, but in terms of efficiency, it probably won’t improve much.
“Yeah, let’s go.”
After changing her clothes in the public restroom, Ayako and Ryuhiko walked towards Shohoku High School.
After class.
Long Yan was on his way to the Xiangbei basketball court.
“Ding!! Ding!!”
The phone in my backpack rang.
He frowned.
Hmm? Who’s calling?
Then he picked up the phone.
A gentle female voice came from the phone.
“Hey, Yanzi, your dad and I have to go back to China for some business in the next few days. The money has been transferred to your card. Take good care of yourself during this time. Don’t abuse yourself. Buy whatever you want.”
“Also, don’t be mad at your dad. He’s not against you playing basketball, he’s just afraid that you’ll get hurt. Be more considerate of your dad.”
This person is Long Yan’s mother in this life, Wan Yixiang.
“Hmm? Okay, I understand…”
When Long Yan heard the voice of his mother in this life, he answered in a gentle tone.
“Okay, Yan Zi, let’s stop talking. We have a plane to catch. Take care of yourself.”
“beep!!”
Without waiting for Long Yan to speak, Wan Yixiang hung up the phone.
Long Yan slowly put down the phone in his hand.
Excited, pocket money? How much will it be?
He took a deep breath, calmed his inner excitement, and walked towards the basketball hall.
At this time, everyone except Sakuragi Hanamichi was present.
When Akagi saw Long Yan coming, he walked up to him and greeted him.
“Long Yan, let’s do physical training today.”
Coach Anxi said that Long Yan’s physical strength is a shortcoming and must be trained, so after returning, Akagi also arranged a training plan for Long Yan on his own.
Long Yan responded politely.
Started today’s physical training.
Akagi looked at Long Yan who was doing physical training on the field and admired him secretly.
“If only Sakuragi Hanamichi had the same perseverance as Ryuhiko, then Xiangbei would be strong.”
Looking around, he couldn’t find Sakuragi Hanamichi at all. Akagi touched his forehead and said he had a headache.
“Akagi, if Ryuhiko continues to train like this, he will probably have a good chance of winning against Ryonan.”
“And this year Rukawa has joined, and Miyagi is back too. I think our wish will come true this year.”
Murasaki sat down next to Akagi and watched Ryuhiko training with satisfaction.
Influenced by Akagi, he realized that dominating the country had become his dream at some point.
“Yes, I believe that day is not too far away.”
Akagi said in a firm tone, his eyes filled with infinite expectations.
Time passed by every second.
About an hour passed.
“Pah!”
“That’s enough for today’s physical training. Now just clean up and you can leave.”
Akagi stood in the center of the venue, clapped his hands, and called out to everyone who was training.
Hearing that the training was over, Kuwata and his companions heaved a sigh of relief.
“It’s finally over!”
“As for Long Yan, he has been training all the time and has basically never heard of it.”
“And Rukawa Kaede, these two are really monsters.”
He fixed his eyes on Long Yan and said with great admiration.
Long Yan put down the rope in his hand, stretched himself, and wiped the sweat off his face with a towel.
“It’s finally over. If I had continued, I’m afraid my waist would have broken.”
After cleaning the court and saying goodbye to Akagi, he left the basketball hall.
Chapter 23: Ayako is dumbfounded. Is this really a child from a rich family? (Old version)
Just walked out of the basketball court.
The system’s voice rang in Long Yan’s mind.
[Detected that the host has completed the team’s physical training][Reward: 1 point of physical strength, 1 point of speed, 1 point of strength]Listening to the voice of the system, Long Yan’s heart was filled with happiness.
“Open the panel!”
At this time he checked his own data.
【Physical Strength: D+】
[Speed: C-][Strength: C+][Master skills: basic dribbling skills, full-court shooting skills, super start, quick recovery, phantom interception, accurate passing, ‘C’ shaped dribbling, mid-air dunk]“Not bad, not bad, so many skills in one practice match.

Looking at the data on the data board, Long Yan nodded secretly. His basic dribbling skills might need to be improved. It was okay when facing players like Murasakibara, but when facing Miyagi Ryouta, there was still a possibility of being intercepted if he was distracted for a moment.
If facing a top defender like Shinichi Kamimaki, the chances of being intercepted would be quite high.
As long as he is strong enough and starts shooting three-pointers, he will become a terrifying scoring machine.
Now I am doing the corresponding training, which has brought obvious changes to my physical fitness. Although the changes are small, they are not non-existent.
Not knowing to what extent he would improve in the match against Ryonan, he had long wanted to meet Ryonan’s ace Sendoh Akira.
Thinking of this, Long Yan clenched his hands and roared.
“Ah! Eat and drink, and continue training!”
He took a step forward and ran towards the bank closest to Xiangbei High School.
I went to the bank, took out the bank card from my wallet and checked it.
Suddenly, I felt a light-headed feeling all over my body.
The balance on the card was more than three million yen.
“It’s just as I expected.”
“Yoshi, call Caizi and treat her to a meal. This favor must be returned.”
Take out 100,000 yen from it.
He took out his phone and called Ayako.
After a while.
I met Ayako at the agreed location.
“Senior, what do you want to eat today?”
Long Yan took the bicycle from Ayako, scratched the back of his head with his hand, and asked directly.
This time he is a rich man, so as long as Ayako says so, there will basically be no big problem.
“Hahaha, bring money this time.”
Ayako smiled a crescent-shaped smile and teased.
“That’s enough for once.”
Long Yan curled his lips and patted his chest. His wealthy appearance immediately made Ayako laugh like a silver bell.
“Okay, then I’ll call and talk to my parents first.”
Ayako didn’t pretend and called home out of concern for her family.
After hanging up the phone, Ayako frowned and thought about the delicious food nearby.
Long Yan waited quietly on the side.
“How about we go get some ramen?”
Various delicious foods flashed through Ayako’s mind and finally stopped at ramen.
“Ramen? I’m fine with anything.”
So, under Ayako’s leadership, the two walked through the alley and came to a ramen restaurant.
The ramen restaurant looks plain and unpretentious, without any fancy decoration, but the aroma coming from inside makes people very appetizing. It turns out that street food is not just talk.
“Let’s go, I come here often, I guarantee it’s not a shady shop.”
Ayako stopped at the door of the ramen restaurant and said this with great confidence.
“Hahaha, senior sister, look at what you said, let’s go, I’m almost starving to death.”
Long Yan put the bicycle in place and walked inside with big strides.
Whether it is a shady shop or not, he is not at all nervous now. Having money in his pocket is more useful than anything else.
Long Yan and the other person entered the ramen restaurant and sat down at a random seat by the window.
After ordering the food, we started chatting.
“Junior, don’t your family members care about you?”
Ayako widened her eyes and asked directly.
“Oh! Don’t mention it!”
When Long Yan heard what Caizi said, he seemed quite depressed and nodded casually.
After he traveled through time, the possibility of even meeting his adopted parents, let alone having dinner together, was very small.
When Ayako saw the depressed Ryuhiko, her maternal instinct came over her and the smile on her face became a little gentler.
“But it’s okay, I’ll accompany you from now on, hahaha.”
The scene changed, and Ayako patted Ryuhiko on the shoulder and laughed.
She has a bit of the big sister vibe, no wonder even Sakuragi Hanamichi is willing to call her the big sister.
“That’s a great feeling!”
Long Yan agreed and laughed.
Although Ayako has a carefree personality, she is pure and sensible at heart, and is a friend worth making close friends with.
The beef ramen was served, filling the air with fragrance. A big bowl of beef covered the ramen, looking very delicious.
“Senior, I’ll start first.”
Long Yan looked at the beef ramen and couldn’t help drooling.
After training, it is so nice to have a big bowl of beef ramen!
Caizi looked at Long Yan who was eating voraciously and reminded him with concern: “Eat slowly. If it’s not enough, add more. I know the boss well.”
“Another bowl please!”
After a few minutes, Long Yan pushed the bowl forward and called the boss loudly.
Caizi’s eyes widened: “Is this really a child from a rich family?”
Chapter 24: How Genius is Made! (Old Version)
Long Yan burped and walked out with Ayako.
“Senior, this restaurant is great. You can ask Senior Akagi and the others to come over. I’ll treat them.”
Patting his slightly protruding belly with his hand, Long Yan said with a satisfied look on his face.
“Of course, I come to this store often.”
“But you, I never thought you could eat so much.”
Caizi looked quite proud with her pretty face.
“Haha, you can’t judge a book by its cover, and you can’t measure the depth of the ocean by its depth.”
After Long Yan put the money into his wallet, he uttered this famous saying of Longguo.
Caizi was stunned when she heard this.
“What can’t be measured?”
Long Yan’s words attracted Caizi’s attention. She had never heard of them before.
“This is a famous saying in our Dragon Country. It means that if you only look at a person’s appearance, you may make a wrong judgment.”
Seeing Ayako’s puzzled look, Long Yan coughed twice and pretended to explain.
“Oh!! So that’s how it is. I guess I need to learn more about Dragon Country.”
Caizi suddenly realized something and felt that it made sense. She nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Long Yan looked at his watch and it was already past seven in the evening.
After briefly chatting with Ayako and watching her leave, he turned and left.
Don’t forget about training.
When I returned to the Xiangbei basketball hall, the lights were still on.
Long Yan couldn’t help but be surprised.
“Who’s still training?”
At this point, most of the team members have gone back, so there shouldn’t be any talented people left.
With doubts, he walked slowly towards the basketball hall.
The moment Long Yan stepped into the basketball hall.
There was a loud slam dunk.
Rukawa Kaede’s thin figure appeared in Long Yan’s sight.
“Ryukawa Kaede? He hasn’t returned yet?”
Long Yan looked at Rukawa Kaede who was sweating profusely, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Everyone says that Rukawa Kaede has good basketball skills, but no one sees the hard work behind it. He is still practicing alone so late at night. This perseverance makes him slightly moved.
Perhaps this is how genius is made.
Walk into the stadium.
When Rukawa Kaede saw Long Yan coming, a hint of surprise flashed across his cold face.
Long Yan? Is he here for training too?
After simply saying hello to Long Yan, he started practicing slam dunk again.
It’s just that the actions are more violent. Perhaps it’s Long Yan’s arrival that stimulated his inner fighting spirit.
When Long Yan saw Rukawa Kaede’s actions, he couldn’t help but shook his head.
Alas, I have created another enemy for no apparent reason.
But he was too lazy to pay attention to these. Improving his own strength was the first priority. If Rukawa Kaede dared to provoke him, he didn’t mind suppressing the confidence of this genius.
So I started dribbling training.
Time flies.
Before I knew it, a week had passed.
During this short period of time, Long Yan was quite self-disciplined and did not miss out on Ayako’s morning runs, team training, and individual training.
During this period, he even invited everyone on the basketball team to his home for a small gathering.
Akagi and others were all surprised to see the luxurious mansion of Longyan’s family.
After a week of getting along, Long Yan’s relationship with Akagi and others has become much closer, and he has a better understanding of Long Yan.
Inside the basketball hall.
Long Yan sat alone in the corner.
Checking its own properties panel.
[Speed: C][Bounce: B][Master skills: intermediate dribbling skills, full-court shooting skills, super start, quick recovery, phantom interception, accurate passing, ‘C’ shaped dribbling, mid-air dunk]After a week of hard training, a lot of training tasks have been completed, and various attributes have been comprehensively improved, basically rising to a higher level.
“Everyone assemble!”
Akagi Takenori’s powerful voice rang out in the basketball hall.
The others put down their training and lined up neatly.
“Where’s Miyagi? Why didn’t Miyagi come?”
Akagi looked around and didn’t see Miyagi, so he frowned and asked.
“I don’t know. I haven’t seen him until today.”
Yasuda scratched his forehead with his hand, meditated for a while, and then answered.
Murasaki and others also shook their heads, not knowing where Miyagi had gone.
Ayako also had a confused look on her face. If Akagi hadn’t asked her, she wouldn’t have noticed this guy, because her eyes had been lingering on Long Yan since the team practice match.
Long Yan recalled that Miyagi must have met Mitsui Shou, but these were not within his jurisdiction, so he could only pray for Miyagi in his heart.
“Forget it, never mind. Tomorrow is our practice match with Ryonan. You all should get some rest tonight.”
“Then let them see how powerful we are!!”
Akagi announced a practice match with Ryonan.
Everyone showed an excited expression on their faces and nodded heavily.
Akagi’s face was filled with a strong desire to fight. He had been waiting for the showdown with Lingnan for a long time.
After the important announcement, everyone left the basketball hall.
Make adequate preparations in advance to prepare for the match against Ryonan.
Chapter 25 Heading to Ryonan, the game is about to begin! (Old version)
The next morning.
Hear the bell ringing.
Ryuhiko started his morning jogging training with Ayako as usual.
After that, we gathered at the basketball court together.
Coach Anxi arrived with his fat belly and looked around at everyone: “Not bad, so many people are here, it seems that other students haven’t arrived yet, let’s wait for a while.”
Originally, he thought that Long Yan and the others would arrive on time, but now that they are basically all here, Coach Anxi feels a little relieved.
Coach Anxi sat on the chair and said calmly, “Since some students haven’t arrived yet, let’s wait for a while. It’s a while from here to Ryonan High School. Other students can check whether they have brought all their belongings.”
They went to Lingnan High School to participate in a practice match for two days, so they reminded the players to prepare their daily necessities.
After Coach Anxi finished speaking, Akagi and the others checked the items they carried once again.
After checking that everything was correct, I felt relieved. Fortunately, I didn’t forget to bring it, otherwise I would have to go through more trouble.
If this causes you to delay your departure, you will definitely feel guilty.
Another minute passed.
Sakuragi Hanamichi’s roar could be heard through the gate.
“It’s over, it’s over, it’s over, it’s late, it’s late.”
When everyone saw the appearance of Sakuragi Hanamichi, they secretly clicked their tongues in amazement, thinking that he was really a guy who never grew up.
Without waiting for Sakuragi Hanamichi to speak, Akagi punched him and started cursing.
“You big idiot, do you know that everyone is waiting for you? You really have a bad sense of time.”
Sakuragi Hanamichi covered his head with his hands and quickly explained: “Oh, I was too excited last night and overslept. I’m sorry, I was wrong. I won’t do it again next time.”
After seeing Sakuragi Hanamichi’s apology, Akagi felt better.
You’re smart, kid.
Rukawa Kaede came to the basketball court groggily with his schoolbag on his back.
Murasaki wiped the sweat from his face with his hand. What a bunch of problem children. He began to pray that this kind of problem would not occur during the game with Ryonan High School.
As for Miyagi, he never showed up until the agreed time.
Akagi couldn’t help but frowned: “Where did that guy go?”
“Coach Anxi, it’s almost time, let’s go.”
So after counting the number of people, he began to report to Coach Anxi.
After listening to Akagi’s report.
Coach Anxi stroked his chin and said with a smile: “Then let’s go.”
“Target, Ryonan High School.”
Wait until Coach Anxi finished speaking.
Akagi and others lined up and headed towards the station.
About a few hours passed.
They finally arrived at Ryonan High School, one of the top four schools in Kanagawa.
Everyone got off the bus and looked around Ryonan High School.
“Is this Ryonan High School?”
Kuwata and other first-year students looked at Ryonan High School with curiosity. It was also their first time here.
When Coach Anxi got off the bus, everyone lined up neatly.
Shigeichi Tanaoka had been waiting here early.
Coach Anzai smiled and shook hands with Coach Tanabe.
Looking at Shigeichi Tanabe being so respectful to Coach Anzai.
Ishii and other first-year students couldn’t help but sigh.
“Wow, is Coach Anxi such a big name?”
“Even the head coach of Ryonan High School is so respectful.”
“You don’t know this, Coach Anxi, this was a famous lesson in the university, but then something happened…”
Akagi heard Ishii’s discussion and simply ended Anzai’s position as coach.
Coach Tiangang and Coach Anzai asked about each other’s well-being.
He led the way and led everyone into the special reception lounge.
“Everyone, please have a good rest tonight. I have made all the arrangements.”
After Coach Tiangang briefly explained a few words to Akagi, he left the reception room.
Chapter 26: A Conversation Full of Tension! (Old Version)
Early the next morning.
“Shohoku! Let’s go!”
When Akagi saw everyone gathered, he clenched his hands and let out a powerful shout.
I don’t know how many times he has faced Ryonan High School. Because of his teammates, the result is always a miserable defeat without any suspense.
This time, even if Miyagi is not here, with the arrival of Ryuhiko and Rukawa Kaede, he believes that they will definitely be the winners this time.
Hear Akagi’s powerful roar.
Everyone was excited, including Long Yan, as this was his first official competition with other high schools.
“Oh! Xiangbei must win!”
Everyone clenched their fists like Akagi and roared with all their might.
Coach Anxi and his team’s voices were filled with infinite belief in victory, and they felt extremely gratified.
“Haha, everyone should behave well!”
Although it was a training match, there were scouts from other schools who came to watch, which was also the focus of many schools before the county competition. Of course, the object of attention was not the bottom-ranked team Xiangbei High School, but Ryonan High School, which was in the top four of the county competition.
Ryonan High School, basketball hall.
The moment when Coach Anxi led the Xiangbei basketball team into the basketball hall.
The students from Ryonan High School gave him strange looks because they didn’t kill anyone.
“Look, Xiangbei High School is here.”
“That bottom-feeder team that was eliminated in the first round of the county tournament actually came here to humiliate themselves. Let’s wait and see how they lose.”
“Hahaha, yes, they only have one Akagi Takenori. I heard that Rukawa Kaede from Fuchuan Junior High School has also joined, but the rest are trash.”
“This is a game without any suspense at all.”
The students watching the play were talking about it in a buzzing voice, and everyone’s face was filled with mockery.
Listening to the students’ mocking Chinese.
Akagi and his group looked gloomy. This was really too contemptuous.
Sakuragi Hanamichi could no longer sit still and stood up angrily, ready to start scolding.
However, Akagi Takenori grabbed him and reminded him with a dark face.
“Hanamichi Sakuragi, keep calm, others are laughing at us.”
He was also quite upset by the mocking words of the crowd.
Long Yan patted Sakuragi Hanamichi’s shoulder and said, “The weak can only talk, but the strong will prove themselves with actions. Since they look down on us, we should defeat them with actions.”
Acting extremely calmly, if a dog bites you, do you have to bite it back?
After hearing what Akagi Takenori and Ryuhiko said, Sakuragi Hanamichi finally calmed down his angry temper.
And Murasakibara looked at Ryuhiko’s back, feeling a little surprised.
Although Long Yan is a young boy, he behaves very experiencedly.
The female student from Ryonan High School glanced from Akagi to finally stop at Ryuhiko.
Suddenly exclaimed: “Look, look, that Xiangbei guy is so handsome!!”
“Where, where!!”
The other girls quickly scanned Akagi and the others.
Then he locked onto Long Yan.
Her eyes sparkled and her body melted like water.
At this moment, in their hearts, even a top handsome guy like Sendoh Akira from Ryonan High School is slightly better than Long Yan in front of them.
Tanaka, the coach of the Ryonan High School basketball team, walked over quickly.
“Coach Anxi, I hope you can give me more guidance in this game!”
Coach Anxi smiled.
The two of them briefly exchanged greetings.
Yu Zhujun, the captain of the Ryonan High School basketball team, also trotted over and greeted Coach Anxi.
Then he fixed his eyes on Akagi Takenori and said in a tone full of gunpowder: “Akagi, I will definitely beat you in today’s match.”
In the games against Shohoku, although Ryonan won every time, but as a center, people outside unanimously believed that he was not as good as Takenori Akagi.
Akagi is like a huge rock pressing on his heart. If he wants to break through, he must move the rock away. This is one of the reasons why he regards Akagi Takenori as his number one enemy.
Seeing Yuzhu, Kuwata and other first-year students were shocked and whispered in the back of the team:
“Okay, he’s really tall. Is he the captain of Ryonan High School and Captain Akagi’s archenemy?”
“Oh my god, this oppressive feeling is so strong that I can hardly breathe.”
The moment Long Yan saw the fish pillar, he immediately started scanning it.
[Scanned character: Yuzhu Jun]【Height: 202 cm】
【Weight: 90 kg】
【Physical Strength: B】
[Strength: A]In all aspects, he is very close to Takenori Akagi, and his strength even exceeds that of Takenori Akagi, reaching the perfect level. However, in terms of basketball skills, he may be slightly inferior to Akagi, so when the two faced off, he was suppressed by Akagi.
Long Yan couldn’t help but feel surprised: “No wonder he is Akagi’s lifelong enemy.”
Judging from the body shape, it is still quite oppressive.
Akagi Takenori smiled and said, “Yuzhu, we haven’t seen each other for a long time. Let me see how strong you are now.”
Although there was a smile on his face, one could see from his eyes that a flame was gradually burning.
Uozhu Jun also smiled.
When their eyes met, they could faintly feel the sound of electric current colliding.
Chapter 27: Problem Child Sakuragi Hanamichi! (Old Version)
After a brief exchange between the two sides.
Coach Tiangang called the cleaning staff to clean up and took advantage of this cleaning time.
Coach Anxi led everyone to the locker room to arrange tactics for the match.
Come to the locker room.
Coach Anxi motioned for everyone to sit down and smiled gently at Ayako beside him:
“Ayako, give everyone jerseys.”
Caizi nodded slightly.
This is not an intra-team practice match, jerseys are the most basic requirement.
So he opened a big bag behind him, and the dozen red jerseys inside made Long Yan and the first-year players’ eyes light up, and their faces were full of anticipation.
Caizi spoke slowly:
“Captain Akagi-senpai wears number 4, vice-captain Mugure-senpai wears number 5, Yasuda-san wears number 6, Miyagi-san who didn’t come wears number 7, Shiozaki-san wears number 8, Kadota-san wears number 9, Ryuhiko-san wears number 10, Rukawa-san wears number 11, Ishii-san wears number 12, Sasaoka-san wears number 13, and Kuwata-san wears number 14.”
As he said that, he gave the jersey in his hand to everyone.
In addition to senior players such as Akagi, Kuwata and others were very happy. Having jerseys meant that they were official team members.
Long Yan looked at the jersey in his hand, slightly surprised.
“Number 10? Isn’t that Sakuragi Hanamichi’s clothes? Oh! That guy is going to start making trouble again soon.”
But he couldn’t care less about these things. The jersey was his once he got it. As for Sakuragi Hanamichi, Ayako was naturally watching over him.
And Sakuragi Hanamichi in the corner blinked in disbelief.
“Big sister, um, I don’t have a jersey yet.”
He couldn’t figure out why he didn’t have a jersey.
Just when he was feeling depressed, Ayako smiled.
He took out white tape from his schoolbag and stuck a big number 15 on Sakuragi Hanamichi’s white T-shirt.
Seeing this, Akagi Takenori burst into laughter with tears in his eyes.
“Hahahaha, Sakuragi Hanamichi, you look good.”
Rukawa added calmly: “Big idiot, this dress suits you very well.”
As for the others, they couldn’t help but twitch their lips, and a bad premonition slowly rose in their hearts.
Sakuragi Hanamichi immediately threw his clothes to the ground, expressing his extreme dissatisfaction at the moment.
Seeing this, Takenori Akagi was about to take action, but was dissuaded by Coach Anzai.
Then, Sakuragi Hanamichi grabbed Kuwata’s clothes and threatened Kuwata fiercely: “Kwata, you don’t want this dress, right? Right!”
In response to Sakuragi Hanamichi’s intimidation, the weak-willed Kuwata trembled in fear and gave the battle jersey in his hand to Sakuragi Hanamichi with tears in his eyes.
“Hahaha, that’s what I told you. If you really don’t like it, then I’ll accept the genius book.”
Sakuragi Hanamichi took the clothes, then picked up the tape and put a big number 15 on Kuwata’s T-shirt as usual.
Then he sat back in his seat proudly.
Others looked at the aggrieved Sang Tian.
There was no other way. With Sakuragi Hanamichi’s childish personality, if I didn’t give it to him, he would make a fuss until who knows how long. I could only give Kuwata the team uniform later.
Just like that, the jerseys were distributed and Kuwata stood in the corner feeling aggrieved.
Coach Anxi sighed.
Then assign a marking person.
“The starting lineup is Akagi, Rukawa, Ryuhiko, Mugure, and Yasuda.”
“I haven’t seen Sendoh yet, I don’t know if he will play.”
“If you play, Rukawa-san will be in charge of marking you, since you two are about the same height.”
After hearing Coach Anzai’s arrangement, everyone except Sakuragi Hanamichi nodded.
Long Yan was not surprised. After all, his height was more than ten centimeters shorter than Sendoh’s. Even if he could defend against him, it would be difficult. He didn’t want to walk back with the weapon carried after the game.
Of course, if Rukawa can’t defend, that’s another matter.
“Dad, what about me? Why can’t I play?”
Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at Coach Anzai with a wronged look on his face.
“Sakuragi-san, you are a secret weapon, you can’t go out so soon.”
Coach Anzai looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi, who had a look of grievance on his face, and made up an excuse as if he was coaxing a child.
“Secret weapon? I’m a secret weapon? I get it, Dad.”
Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at everyone with a smug look on his face, and then said to Rukawa Kaede with contempt: “Rukawa Kaede, I am a secret weapon, so I will give you a chance to show off.”
Akagi and others curled their lips and were speechless about the problem child Sakuragi.
Rukawa Kaede even rolled his eyes and didn’t want to pay any attention to this idiot Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Ayako and Murasakibara just smiled.
The uncertain factor of Sakuragi Hanamichi has finally been dealt with. We have Akagi in the inside and Ryuhiko and Rukawa on the outside. It’s perfect.
The time for the game has come.
Akagi and others walked out of the locker room and started their first battle before the county competition.
Everyone’s face was filled with fighting spirit.
Chapter 28: Taoka Shigeichi’s bold words! (Old version)
Walk out of the locker room.
After Long Yan and his companions came out, many people came into the gym unknowingly.
In addition to the students from Ryonan High School, even some reporters from Kanagawa Prefecture rushed there.
“This is just a practice match, but it’s being treated so grandly. I’m starting to get nervous.”
“Yeah, me too. I didn’t expect so many people would come to see it.”
“On the other hand, Ryuhiko and Rukawa Kaede don’t seem to be nervous at all. They are really strong in withstanding pressure.”
Seeing this scene, Kuwata and his companions who followed behind the team were whispering nervously.
Although they also played at the Xiangbei basketball stadium, there weren’t so many people watching at that time, and this was at Ryonan High School, which made it even more tense.
Compared to Long Yan, they were just like country bumpkins who had never seen the world.
Long Yan looked around, his heart as calm as water.
“It looks like there will be a lot of people who will witness Xiangbei win the game.”
He had long wanted to meet the so-called top four teams in the county.
Then he saw Yan Yi in the crowd and greeted him slightly.
After the Xiangbei team training ended, when he met Yanyi, he said that defeating Ryonan and Sendoh made Yanyi extremely excited.
In Yan Yi’s heart, Xiandao is a powerful man who no one can defeat. Since Long Yan said such words, he had a big question mark in his heart about the latter.
Yan Yi looked at Long Yan in the team with an excited look on his face.
“Mr. Long Yan, I didn’t see your strength last time, this time let me witness it with my own eyes.”
“Sendou is Ryonan’s trump card.”
Then he looked for Xiandao in the team, but after looking around, he did not see him and couldn’t help but frowned.
Where did Senior Sendo go?
Shigeichi Tanaoka saw Coach Anzai come out after changing into his jersey.
A hint of excitement appeared on his face involuntarily.
He smiled coldly in his heart: “Coach Anxi, let me see how strong Xiangbei will be with Rukawa Kaede.”
“Ryukawa Kaede, I will make you regret not joining Ryonan High School.”
The scene of him inviting Rukawa to join Ryonan and being rejected emerged in his mind, and he gritted his teeth.
“Xian Dao, Xian Dao!”
“It’s strange that Xiandao hasn’t come yet.”
Captain Yuzhu saw that the game was about to begin, but the ace Sendo had not shown up, so he looked everywhere anxiously.
When Shigeichi Tanaoka learned that Sendoh had not arrived yet, he sighed helplessly.
“What a lazy guy, but against Shohoku, there’s no need for Sendoh to take action.”
“Everyone, get ready. In this game, we are going to score 100 points on Xiangbei!”
He then reminded Yu Zhu and others to prepare to go on stage, and to put aside his lofty ambitions.
“Wow! Did you hear that? Coach Takeo actually said he was going to score 100 points against Shohoku. That’s crazy.”
“Hahaha, this is crazy at all. Ryonan High School is consistently ranked in the top four in the county, and what about Shohoku? It’s a bottom-feeder team. There’s no comparison at all.”
“But it seems that with the addition of rookie king Rukawa Kaede this year, Shohoku’s strength will probably rise to a higher level. It’s really exciting.”
As soon as Shigeka Tanabe’s wild words came out, the atmosphere at the scene was instantly ignited.
“Click, click!”
Reporters also rushed to take pictures. If Xiangbei won, it would be hot news, and they naturally did not want to give up this opportunity.
“Oh, let’s go! Score a hundred points!!”
Yuzhu roared and led Ryonan’s starting lineup onto the court.
“Cut off 100 points!!”
Tomoyuki Uekusa, Hiroaki Konosuba, Ryoji Ikegami, and Sugahira who came on the field followed Yuzhu’s voice and roared with all their might.
Hearing the wild words of Taoka Shigeichi, Uozhu and others, everyone in Shohoku looked gloomy.
“Scoring 100 points? That’s just a foolish dream.”
Akagi Takenori felt completely insulted, and his hands clenched together involuntarily. At this moment, the little universe in his heart exploded.
“Ryonan High School really doesn’t take others seriously. We must let them feel how powerful we are.”
Even the usually gentle Murasakibara was visibly angry when he heard what Yuzhu and his group said.
Although Sangtian and the others didn’t say anything, they were very angry in their hearts. They were just one of the top four teams in the county, but they were so arrogant.
Sakuragi Hanamichi had a hot temper to begin with, and when he heard such humiliating words from the other side, he stood up, pointed his fingers at Taoka Shigeichi and Yuzhu and started cursing.
“Damn old man, and that damn monkey boss, I will make you regret it.”
“Oh? Is that red-haired guy also a regular player of Xiangbei?”
“You’re really brave enough to talk to Coach Tiangang like that.”
Hearing Sakuragi Hanamichi’s curse, Taoka Shigeichi couldn’t help but look at the former.
He looked down on me and said, “Is this kind of person considered a player? I’ll make you regret it later, humph.”
Yuzhu just glanced at Sakuragi Hanamichi, and then turned his gaze to Akagi. Only Akagi could arouse his fighting spirit.
A tall man with spiky hair walked into the basketball hall with lazy steps.
His appearance instantly caused screams from the girls at the scene.
“Wow! Look, it’s Sendoh, Sendoh is here, so handsome!”
“Xian Dao!! Xian Dao!!”
Chapter 29: Return of the Immortal! The whistle blows, and the game officially begins! (Old version)
Accompanied by the entry of Xiandao.
It was like a spotlight shining on him.
“Sendoh, Sendoh is here. It seems that it is unlikely that Xiangbei will win.”
“I just don’t know if I can achieve immortality, but this makes me very excited.”
“On one side is Rukawa Kaede, and on the other side is Sendoh. They should both be aces. It seems that things are getting interesting.”
Seeing Xiandao appear, the audience began to talk.
Yu Zhu and others were relieved to see Sendoh coming. Although Ryonan was one of the top four teams in the county competition, having Sendoh there and not having Sendoh there were two completely different things.
On the other hand, on the Xiangbei side, everyone’s attention was also attracted by Sendoh.
A solemn look appeared on Akagi’s face.
“Sendoh, will he play?”
That would be a very formidable enemy.
Mu Mu pushed his glasses up with his hand, his expression slightly ugly: “Sendoh? Is he finally here?”
Recalling last year’s game between Ryonan and Shohoku led by Sendoh, Sendoh scored 47 points alone. His scoring ability is definitely top-notch in Kanagawa.
When Rukawa saw Sendoh coming, his cold face moved slightly.
Sendoh, known as a “genius player”, has extraordinary skills and leadership. He is the spiritual pillar of the Ryonan basketball team and the person Rukawa has always wanted to surpass.
When Long Yan saw Xiandao, the first thing he did was to turn on the scanning function.
[Scanned character: Sendoh Akira]【Height: 190 cm】
【Weight: 79 kg】
[Physical Strength: A-]“The data is really strong!”
After looking at Sendoh’s attributes, Long Yan sighed: “From the data, it shows that he is indeed better than Rukawa Kaede and more versatile. He deserves the title of “uncrowned king”.”
The path to immortality is completely within Long Yan’s imagination.
Then he smiled coldly: “If you don’t even have this much strength, it would be a bit too boring.”
Sendoh greeted the audience with a smile on his face.
Then he came to the rest area of Ryonan High School, found a chair and sat down.
“Hmm? Sendoh isn’t going to play?”
“It seems so. That would be a lot less fun.”
The audience frowned and started talking.
When Tanaka Shige saw Sendoh sitting down, he said, “Sendoh, where have you been? Don’t you know that today is the practice match with Xiangbei High School?”
He immediately started to scold.
When he heard Tanaoka Shigeichi’s scolding, Sendoh still looked lazy and dug his ears with his hands: “Coach, I’m sorry, I overslept.”
“Do you need me to play?”
After apologizing, he asked for Shigeka’s opinion.
“Ah! You are really… Never mind, you don’t have to play for now. Shohoku, apart from Rukawa and Akagi, there is nothing to fear from the others.”
As soon as Shigeoka heard Sendoh’s apology, his anger disappeared.
After hearing what Taoka Shigeichi said, Sendoh put his hands on his thighs and looked up and down at everyone in Shohoku.
His eyes stayed on Ryuhiko and Rukawa Kaede.
The former looked calm and composed, without any sign of nervousness, which surprised him a little. As for the latter, he had also heard of his name, the “Rookie King” Rukawa Kaede who would come after him.
Accompanied by a whistle.
The competition officially begins.
Yuzhu and Akagi compete for the ball.
The other players also stood in their respective positions with serious expressions.
The player facing Ryuhiko is Ryoji Ikegami, the starting power forward of Ryonan High School, the de facto vice-captain of Ryonan High School. He is 183 cm tall, almost the same height as Ryuhiko.
He mainly focuses on defense, rebounding, and scoring, and has a variety of scoring methods such as mid-range shots and mid- to long-range dunks. Even three-point shooters like Mitsui and Ashen find it extremely difficult to break through his defense.
When the referee saw that the players were in position, he threw the basketball in his hand vertically upwards, and it slowly rose into the air under the gaze of everyone.
Seeing basketball about to reach its highest point.
Yuzhu and Akagi exerted their strength almost at the same time and slapped the basketball in the air hard.
This ball determines whether Ryonan or Shohoku has the ball.
Yuzhu and Akagi’s palms touched the basketball almost at the same time.
The two had a brief power exchange in the air.
“Akagi, your strength is not enough!”
Immediately afterwards, Yuzhu mocked Akagi.
He was slightly stronger than Akagi and slammed the basketball hard towards the point guard, Tomoyuki Uekusa.
“It’s Ryonan’s ball!”
Caizi looked at the field with a serious expression, her hands clenched tightly, and she was very anxious.
Tomoyuki Uekusa took the ball steadily and looked at Murasakibara in front of him with a smile on his face.
“How dare Xiangbei, a bottom-ranked team that was eliminated in the first round, have the courage to play against us?”
There was a lot of ridicule in his words.
Mu Mu didn’t say anything and his face looked a little ugly.
But in the next second.
The sneer on Uekusa Tomoyuki’s face had not yet completely disappeared.
A dark shadow flashed by his side and knocked the basketball out of his hand.
Chapter 30: Super long three-pointer! Shock Ryonan! (Old version)
The ball that Tomoyuki Uekusa got was intercepted by Ryuhiko.
Akagi’s body was shaken, and he couldn’t help but praise: “Long Yan, well done!”
“Quick attack!”
Then he started scolding.
“Long Yan, well done!”
Murasaki was delighted, as Ryonan was slapped in the face faster than he had imagined.
Yu Zhu and others also reacted immediately.
“Damn it, Uekusa Tomoyuki, why are you so careless?”
“Hurry back to defense!!”
Seeing a newcomer actually steal the ball from Uekusa Tomoyuki, Yuzhu was a little surprised and scolded Uekusa Tomoyuki.
Uekusa Tomoyuki clenched his teeth and said nothing, but his expression looked a little ugly.
He just made a big statement, but was slapped in the face in less than a second.
He hurriedly followed Yu Zhu and others and ran back to defend.
Long Yan stole the ball, but instead of passing it to Murasakibara, he carried the ball forward.
Just past the half-court line.
Ikegami Ryoji came up to defend.
Seeing the newcomer Long Yan, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said with a disdainful tone: “Boy, that steal just now was good, but don’t think about scoring in front of me!”
In his eyes, the unknown Long Yan was just a complete newcomer, and the latter’s steal of the ball at the beginning of the game was completely due to his carelessness and failure to keep up with Long Yan.
Long Yan glanced at Chi Shang indifferently, about one and a half meters away from him, and did not say anything.
Because, in his mind, although Chi Shang is quite strong, it is a pipe dream to defend him.
Then, in full view of everyone, he slowly raised the basketball in his hand above his head, with his legs in a jumping position, and made a shooting motion.
Looking at this familiar scene, Akagi under the basket and Murasakibara and others on the outside widened their eyes in disbelief.
Long Yan is about to shoot.
During the team practice match, Long Yan started the game with this move. Is it the same now? This is really outrageous.
Ryoji Ikegami, who was defending Ryuhiko, saw Ryuhiko’s jumping action and disdainful look, which made him feel humiliated.
“Boy, stop looking down on others.”
Ikegami yelled angrily, then leaped up and raised his arm to block the basketball.
but.
Just as he jumped, Long Yan had already jumped into the air, without being affected at all. His hands were like anti-aircraft guns, and he shot the basketball in his hands out fiercely.
Forming a beautiful parabola.
“Quick! Get ready to rebound!”
When Yuzhu, who was under the basket, saw that Ikegami failed to defend Longyan, he immediately reminded everyone and started to compete with Akagi for the advantageous position.
Players from both sides looked solemn as they prepared to fight for the rebound.
But.
Just when everyone was concentrating.
The basketball went straight into the net, making a pleasing sound.
“What? He actually got in?”
The fish pillar with the dead fish face who was closest to the nets was very surprised.
Ikegami, who was defending Long Yan, stood firm, unable to believe it.
“He actually scored a goal?”
You know, it was only halfway through the game.
“Well done!!”
Akagi and others breathed a sigh of relief and looked excited.
It was just the beginning of the game and he scored three points, which instantly boosted the team’s morale.
“Long Yan! Well done!”
“Stop them!”
Ayako and others in the Shohoku rest area raised their hands and cheered.
Compared to the cheers in the Shohoku rest area, the Ryonan rest area.
Tian Gang Shigeichi fixed his eyes on Long Yan and muttered to himself: “Impossible, that ball just now must have been a coincidence.”
As far as he knew, no one had ever heard of Long Yan, whether in junior high school or in any other competitions. Moreover, Long Yan’s shooting posture was extremely ordinary, and there was no doubt that he was just a young boy.
Then he slowly looked at Coach Anxi who was calm and composed off the court.
“Coach Anxi, what exactly are you selling?”
Sendoh sat on the chair with a lazy look on his face: “Oh, that No. 10 kid from Xiangbei is quite courageous.”
He did not see Long Yan’s strength, but rather the latter’s courage.
You know, the first goal, no matter which side it is, will boost morale. Long Yanjin’s goal greatly boosted the morale of the Xiangbei team.
Aida Hikoichi was very excited: “Ryuhiko, his name is Ryuhiko, he said he would defeat Ryonan and Sendoh!”
As he spoke, the eyes of Taoka Shigeichi and Sendoh turned to him.
Tian Gang Shigeichi punched Aida Hikoichi on the head and shouted, “Hikoichi, which side are you on?”
Sendoh murmured to himself, and said with a hint of admiration: “Number 10 from Xiangbei, so your name is Long Yan?”
Audience stand.
The audience’s eyes turned to Long Yan on the field and they talked a lot.
“Who exactly is that No. 10 player from Xiangbei?”
“That was a long shot. Poor Ikegami.”
“Looks like things are getting interesting.”
The reporters took a lot of photos of Long Yan.
“Is Xiangbei’s No. 10 player the ace of Xiangbei who is higher than Rukawa Kaede?”
“I don’t think it’s impossible.”
The Ryonan team kicks off.
The Xiangbei players returned to the backcourt to defend.
Yu Zhu heard the voices of the audience and shouted: “Ryonan, come on!”
His roar immediately aroused the morale of Chi Shang and others.
“Ryonan, come on!”
Tomoyuki Ueki slapped the basketball in his hand, his eyes not at Murasaki who was defending him, but at Ryuhiko’s figure.
“Boy, if you have the guts, come and break it again?”
Chapter 31: Reversal? The unexpected Long Yan! (Old version)
See Zhishu holding the ball.
The audience off the field waits and watches.
“I don’t know who will launch the attack in Ryonan this time.”
“I think it should be passed to Yuzhu, who will play against Akagi alone.”
“Fish Pillar? Fish Pillar’s strength is not comparable to Akagi.”
Tian Gangshi shouted loudly: “Zhishu, pay attention to the rhythm and defeat Xiangbei in one fell swoop.”
He wanted to see what kind of strength Xiangbei had. Although they were temporarily leading in the score, it was not a big deal.
Zhishu carried the ball across the center line.
Yasuda immediately stepped forward to defend, opened his arms, and stared firmly at Ueki who was holding the ball.
Although he is not as tall as Ueki, he is not afraid at all as the starting point guard of Shohoku when Miyagi is not back.
The two men confronted each other.
When Ueki saw that the person defending him was not Mugure but Yasuda, he couldn’t help but sneer in his heart: “Shohoku really has no one left.”
But he did not choose to tangle with Yasuda. Instead, he used his right hand to pass the basketball directly to Ryoji Ikegami inside the three-point line.
Just now, Long Yan not only stole the ball from him, but also made a three-pointer in front of Ikegami. He had to get back this anger no matter what.
Although Chi Shang has few means of attack, they are very stable.
Ikegami took the ball and said, “Great pass!”
He must get the lost ball back with his own hands.
Looking at Long Yan who was defending in front of him.
“Boy, that steal just now was good, can you steal the ball from me again?”
The tone was full of provocation.
Long Yan’s long three-pointer made him feel extremely ashamed, especially since he was a freshman.
“Long Yan, be careful.”
When Murasaki saw Ryuhiko confronting Ikegami, he warned him and then continued to keep an eye on Yueyue.
Long Yan nodded lightly without saying anything, his eyes fixed on Ikegami who was dribbling the ball.
He was looking for an opportunity, a chance to steal the ball.
Ikegami dribbled the ball several times and tried to break through to Longyan’s left side, but each time ended in failure.
Sweat broke out on Ikegami’s cheeks and he frowned.
Long Yan’s defensive strength was beyond his imagination.
As time passed, Ikegami had not yet broken through Longyan’s defense.
The fish pillar inside reminded anxiously.
“Chi Shang, pay attention to the time, don’t force it alone!”
He also didn’t expect that Ikegami couldn’t get rid of Longyan’s defense.
I was even more surprised in my heart: “Shohoku’s No. 10 is quite capable.”
The inside line group includes not only Yuzhu and Akagi.
Rukawa Kaede also played the power forward position, and facing him was Ryonan High School’s backup center Suga Ping.
At this time, Rukawa Kaede’s face was full of displeasure.
Why, why would it be Sugadaira who came to defend him instead of Sendoh?
As for Sendoh, there seemed to be no prelude to his appearance.
This couldn’t help but make him very unhappy.
“Xian Dao, what a cocky guy!”
Just when Rukawa Kaede was depressed.
Long Yan seized the opportunity and stole the ball from Ikegami.
After the steal, he started shouting.
He dribbled the ball quickly towards Ryonan’s backcourt.
Akagi and others showed joy on their faces, switched from defense to offense, and immediately followed Long Yan’s footsteps.
Ikegami’s face looked even uglier. This kid actually broke the ball at the moment when he was about to hit it.
After Long Yan stole the ball, he tried his best to chase and defend, but what made him speechless was that he actually saw Long Yan’s figure getting farther and farther away.
The audience was immediately excited when they saw Long Yan complete another steal.
“Look, it’s Xiangbei’s No. 10 again. He steals the ball again.”
“It’s really unexpected.”
“And his speed is quite fast. It seems that Chi Shang has a hard time catching up with him.”
Of course, they don’t know this. After the phantom interception is activated, Long Yan’s speed can reach the maximum in a short period of time. Not to mention Chi Shang, even Sendoh may not be able to do it.
When Tian Gangshi saw Ryonan fail again, he couldn’t help but yell, “Ikegami, what are you guys doing? Cheer up.”
Then he looked at Long Yan in confusion.
“Long Yan, you really exceeded my expectations. Coach Anxi, could it be that Long Yan is your trump card?”
He really couldn’t understand why Ikegami, who was known for his stability, would make the same mistake as Zhishu.
Hearing Tiangang Shigeichi’s somewhat angry voice, Ikegami and the others’ faces were already ugly, and now they became even uglier.
At this time, Long Yan had already reached the three-point line.
Yu Zhu and others had just crossed the half-court line.
“It’s over, it’s over!”
In stark contrast to Ryonan’s anxious mood, Shohoku was in a state of panic.
“Go ahead, Long Yan, score two more points!”
Yasuda even celebrated in advance.
As long as he can make a layup, he will get two points for sure.
But just when everyone thought that Long Yan would choose to score a layup.
The sound of elite footsteps echoed throughout the basketball arena.
Under the watchful eyes of General Wan, Long Yan did not choose to go directly into the penalty area for a layup, but stopped at the three-point line.
“Huh? What is he going to do?”
Chapter 32: Why bother with two points when you can get three? (Old version)
At this time, no one knew what Long Yan was going to do.
“What on earth is that Xiangbei No. 10 going to do?”
“It looked like we could get two points.”
“Hey! Can Xiangbei’s No. 10 play basketball?”
For a moment, the audience saw Long Yan stopped at the three-point line and started questioning him.
Not only the audience in the stands, but also the Xiangbei side.
Caizi’s beautiful eyes stayed on Long Yan, and she tilted her head. What was this thick-skinned junior going to do? She didn’t understand.
Sakuragi Hanamichi, the ‘secret weapon’, stood up and shouted at Long Yan with his hands and feet dancing: “Hey, foreign student, what are you doing?”
Coach Anxi still had a kind smile on his face.
Kuwata and his companions were on edge.
Except for Rukawa, the smiles on the faces of Akagi and others froze when Ryuhiko stopped.
“Him? Is he going to shoot a three-pointer?”
“No way, what a guy who doesn’t know the situation.”
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is safer to just score two points, so why bother trying to get three points? Long Yan is not a fool, so how could he not know that?
On the other side, Lingnan, seeing Long Yan stop, also blinked his eyes, confused.
Although I was confused, I was able to successfully return to defense due to inertia.
Tian Gangshi clenched his hands and veins bulged on his forehead. As a coach, he naturally knew what Long Yan was going to do. Besides shooting three-pointers, what else could he do?
“You really look down on me, Ikegami. Defend him like the devil.”
He turned around and roared at Chi Shang.
Xiandao couldn’t help but burst into laughter: “Hahaha, Long Yan is quite interesting.”
As he spoke, his hands and feet began to tremble unconsciously. He had a feeling that it would not be long before he would have to go on stage, so he began to do some simple warm-up exercises.
Yan Yi rubbed his eyes and said in surprise: “Long Yan, this is unbelievable.”
Hearing Taoka Shigeichi’s scolding, Ikegami nodded heavily.
He knew what he was going to do without Shigeichi Tanaka telling him.
Defend Long Yan.
See Ikegami jumping in to defend.
Long Yan was smiling.
But there was something a little weird in that smile in Chi Shang’s opinion.
“Boy, don’t be so proud.”
This showed that he was not taken seriously at all, which made him very angry.
“Remember, my name is Long Yan, the one who defeated you.”
Long Yan patted the basketball left and right, his tone as calm as water.
He originally planned to go straight to the basket and score a layup, but at the critical moment.
The system’s training mission sounded.
[Task: Shoot three three-pointers under the defense of Ikegami Ryoji][Current progress: 1/3][Reward: Perfect Shooting Posture][Perfect Shooting Posture: Allows the host to shoot at a textbook level. Moreover, even without using the full-court shooting skill, the two-point close shot hit rate reaches 90%, the two-point mid-range shot hit rate reaches 80%, and the three-point shot hit rate reaches 65%. The physical energy consumption is 60% of normal shooting.][Note: The hit rate of the first three balls reached 100%]Looking at this sudden task, Long Yan finally stopped.
This is simply a life-saving straw. Although shooting from all over the court is good, it consumes a lot of physical energy. The perfect shooting posture solved this problem of Long Yan.
Just as Long Yan finished speaking.
Without waiting for Ikegami to react, Ryuhiko immediately started shooting.
See Long Yan shooting.
Chi Shang’s face was very ugly: “Boy, you are such an arrogant guy.”
He roared, and his body jumped up at the same time, defending as best he could.
Long Yan showed no regard for him at all, not only in his words but also in his actions, which made him very unhappy.
Long Yan shot the basketball in his hand.
Ikegami stretched his arms as far as he could, but his reaction was not quick enough, and his fingers were still three centimeters away from the basketball.
“Damn it!”
“Rebound!!”
Chi Shang’s low roar casually reminded Yu Zhu and others under the basket.
Yu Zhu and others also felt something, and the moment Long Yan threw the ball, they had already started competing for the best position for the rebound.
Another empty-net shot.
“Wow! That’s amazing, Shohoku’s No. 10.”
“It went in again, it’s incredible.”
“This is so cool!”
For a moment, all the female students in the audience lost their composure, put their hands on their cheeks, and couldn’t help screaming.
Shigeichi Tianoka widened his eyes in disbelief.
“Nari? In?”
In his opinion, Ikegami’s defense was already perfect, but it still failed to prevent Long Yan from scoring.
What he didn’t know was that Long Yan had started shooting from three points, and as long as his shooting posture was not disturbed, he would hit the target 100%.
Yan Yi took a notebook in his hand and wrote it down frantically: “This is incredible, write it down, write it down!”
The tense hearts of Caizi and others were relieved in an instant: “Long Yan scored again! And it’s a three-pointer!”
“That’s amazing!”
Kuwata and his companions stood up excitedly.
Akagi and the others also breathed a sigh of relief: “Ah! Finally we got in, otherwise.”
After saying that, he stared at Long Yan fiercely, a look that meant you know what I mean.
Long Yan ignored it completely, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
“Why take two points when you can get three?”
As they spoke, everyone in Lingnan had dark lines on their faces and gritted their teeth.
“What a cocky and arrogant guy.”
Chapter 33: Xiangbei leads by a large margin! Sakuragi Army appears! (Old version)
On the road from Xiangbei High School to Ryonan High School.
A pink electric car is particularly eye-catching.
The people on the pink electric car continued to drive forward, not caring about the worldly eyes.
One of the fat guys was huddled on the pedal of the electric bike. He raised his head with difficulty and asked, “Hey, Yohei, sit back a little. You’re squeezing me to death.”
“I, I want to sit back a little, shut up.”
A handsome man sitting on the cushion behind the fat man held the steering wheel with both hands and started shouting.
Behind the handsome man, a man with blond hair and a mustache was grinning.
“Hahaha, Takamiya, just bear with it for a while.”
“As for Sakuragi, do you think he will play?”
The man with a mustache firmly grasped the side skirt of the electric car with both hands and asked with a smirk on his face.
As soon as the words came out, the tense atmosphere instantly quieted down.
Then the fat man touched his round chin with his hand and frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
The next second, he opened his eyes wide and said with confidence.
“I guess not. That guy, there’s no way he’d be able to play.”
The blond man initially nodded to show his agreement, and then shook his head vigorously.
Refute it immediately.
“I guess so. You really underestimate Sakuragi.”
“No.”
“have.”
When they heard the topic of Sakuragi Hanamichi’s appearance, the three people on the small electric car suddenly started arguing fiercely.
The handsome man listened to the fierce quarrel between the three of them with a smile on his face.
They are freshmen at Xiangbei High School, friends of Sakuragi Hanamichi, and members of the famous “Sakuragi Army”.
Yohei Mito, Nozomi Takamiya, Chuichirō Noma and Yuji Ōkusu.
Since they are members of the Sakuragi Army, they will naturally go and watch Sakuragi Hanamichi’s game. Rather than watching, it would be better to say that they are watching the former’s joke.
The scene changed.
At this time, the score on the field has reached 30:10.
The atmosphere was tense for a moment, with disbelief on every audience member’s face.
“Shohoku is too strong this year.”
“Especially number 10, his name seems to be Long Yan.”
“I scored more than a dozen points by myself and made four three-pointers.”
“Why hasn’t Xiandao come on stage yet?”
In the eyes of the audience, the score has come to this point, and if they don’t go for Sendo, they will lose sooner or later.
Although Ikegami is not weak, he still cannot limit Ryuhiko’s scoring, not to mention there is Rukawa Kaede. Ryonan High School’s Suga Ping is completely suppressed.
Taoka Shigeichi’s face was gloomy.
“Shohoku, when did they become so strong? The two freshmen are so arrogant.”
“As expected of Coach Anxi, he hid it well enough.”
He really didn’t expect that Akainu didn’t get many points, while Ryuhiko and Rukawa Kaede took up the majority of the points. Perhaps this was really because he underestimated Shohoku.
Xiandao’s originally lazy eyes gradually brightened. He felt an inexplicable fighting spirit from Long Yan.
Yan Yi’s notes filled up several pages, and he was so excited: “Awesome, awesome, it’s really awesome, Long Yan is really not just talking, it’s unbelievable.”
“Yanyi, which side are you on? Shut up.”
When the upset Tianang Shigeichi heard Yanyi’s yelling, he frowned and shouted.
Sweat appeared on the faces of Yu Zhu and others. It was obvious that they were trying their best to defend.
But after Ryuhiko made three consecutive three-pointers, he began to cooperate with Rukawa Kaede and frequently scored over Suga Ping’s head. This made the super inside player Yu Zhu very frustrated and he had no chance to duel with Akagi Takenori at all.
On the Shohoku side, except for Ryuhiko and Rukawa, everyone else had smiles on their faces.
“Shohoku, that’s it, beat them all in one go.”
Akagi couldn’t help but roar like a beast, inspiring the whole audience.
Rukawa wiped the sweat from his cheeks with his hand, his face was grim, and he did not feel happy about the 12 points he scored.
Because, at this moment, Ryuhiko showed the world that he might be the real trump card of Xiangbei. Moreover, Sendoh has not made a move yet. Even if he scores more points against Sugaira, it will not mean anything.
Long Yan breathed in and out orderly. Up to now, he had relied almost entirely on three-point shots to score points. He hadn’t even used a dunk, and his physical strength had not been consumed much.
Off the court, in the Xiangbei rest area.
Ayako and the others were extremely excited and their morale was high. They cheered for Ryuhiko and the others: “Come on, Xiangbei! Come on, Xiangbei!”
At this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi disappeared in the rest area.
Just as Ryonan was preparing to serve.
A whistle sounded.
“Ryonan requests a timeout! Substitution!”
Chapter 34: Timeout, it’s time for the coaches to compete with each other! (Old version)
finally.
Shigeka Tanabe couldn’t sit still anymore and asked for a timeout.
The audience all looked towards the Ryonan rest area.
Sendoh has changed into the Ryonan team uniform and is doing warm-up exercises.
“Xian Dao, Xian Dao is doing warm-up exercises.”
“Is Xiandao going to start?”
“It looks like Ryonan is starting to catch up.”
“I wonder how Xiangbei will deal with this? Will the number 10 defend? Or will the number 11 defend?”
Yu Zhu and others came to the rest area and wiped the sweat from their faces with towels.
Everyone looked heavy-hearted.
There were still 5 minutes left in the first half, and the Ryonan team had only scored 10 points. This was the first time they felt so frustrated.
Especially Yuzhu and Ikegami, the former wanted to defeat Akagi, and the latter wanted to suppress Longyan. Yuzhu was fine, and he even grabbed a few rebounds during the period, but what about Ikegami? Not only did he fail to defend Longyan, but he also let the latter score frequently, which made him feel extremely frustrated.
“Coach Tanaoka, Shohoku’s No. 10 is not as simple as it seems.”
“Yeah, even Ikegami couldn’t effectively limit his scoring.”
Zhishu and Yueyue frowned, looking incredulous.
Originally, although Rukawa had been released for this match, Ryuhiko, who was considered a beginner in their eyes, would definitely reveal his flaws, and Ikegami, who had always performed stably, would definitely score a lot of points over him. However, the facts slapped them hard in the face.
“That’s enough. Cheer up, everyone. Shohoku was just a weak team that was eliminated in the first round. Even if they have Rukawa Kaede and Ryuhiko now, it still can’t change the situation that they will lose.”
“Remember, we want to dominate the country. How can we be defeated by a team like Shohoku that only has Akagi and two freshmen?”
When Shigeichi Tanaoka heard the dejected words of Ueki and the others, he shouted at them sternly.
Then he turned his gaze to Xiandao who was standing beside him, and his tone became slightly softer.
“Xiandao, you must be prepared. We must equalize the score before the end of the first half.”
As long as Sendoh is on the court, even Ryuhiko will never be the opponent of the former. This is the ace of Ryonan in Shigeka Takaoka’s mind.
Sendoh smiled and said, “Put it down. I’ll take care of Long Yan. Ikegami, go and defend Rukawa Kaede.”
As soon as he arrived, he directly proposed the target of defense.
No one was surprised at all. Although Long Yan was only a freshman, based on his performance on the court, he was undoubtedly the trump card of Xiangbei.
“Xian Dao, are you going to fight Long Yan? It’s really exciting. I must record it carefully.”
Aida Hiko was suddenly extremely excited.
Will Long Yan’s promise of defeating Sendoh and defeating Ryonan be realized in the next game?
Seeing the excited look on Aida Hikoichi’s face, Yuzhu and others rolled their eyes, expressing their speechlessness. They really didn’t know whether Hikoichi was from Ryonan or Shohoku.
Xiangbei rest area.
Akagi and others sat on chairs to rest. Their faces did not show any fatigue, but rather they looked quite excited.
Xiangbei has been looked down upon in the past few years, and today they finally got their revenge.
“Tatsuhiko-san performed well, and Rukawa Kaede…”
Coach Anxi stood up and praised Long Yan and others with a more or less gratified smile on his face.
“There are still five minutes left in the second half, Long Yan-san. The person you will face next may be Sendoh, so you must cheer up.”
Then he looked at Long Yan again and reminded him.
Hmm? After hearing what Coach Anxi said, everyone except Long Yan looked a little serious, and suddenly felt a sense of oppression.
Akagi sighed in his heart.
It seems that in the coming period, both the offensive and defensive ends will face greater pressure.
Murasaki couldn’t help but let out a breath to relieve the pressure in his heart.
Several freshmen in Kuwata couldn’t help swallowing their saliva. Sendoh? Is the ace of Ryonan going to play?
Turning around, I saw Long Yan’s face was still as calm as water, without a trace of nervousness, and his eyes were full of admiration.
You know, Coach Anzai said that he will face Sendoh later.
Rukawa frowned and uttered a few words with difficulty: “Coach Anxi, I want to meet Sendoh first.”
Although his tone was calm, it was filled with a lot of expectations.
Akagi and the others were not surprised at all by what Rukawa said. There was nothing they could do about it; that was just the kind of person Rukawa was.
And judging from the height and weight data, Rukawa is indeed more suitable to match up against Sendoh than Ryuhiko.
Long Yan didn’t care at all. He took the towel handed over by Caizi and gave his suggestion: “Rukawa Kaede, Sendo is in your hands.”
“Coach Anzai, there are still five minutes left in the first half. I want Sakuragi Hanamichi to take my place. After all, Sakuragi Hanamichi will be one of our main players in the future, so it’s better for him to get some actual combat experience as soon as possible.”
In his view, basketball is a team game, not a single-player game.
His goal is not simply to dominate the country alone, but to lead Xiangbei to dominate the country.
Since it’s just a practice match, why not let Sakuragi Hanamichi go up and get a feel for it, while he can also take a rest and recover his strength so that he can officially face Sendoh in the second half.
Hearing Long Yan’s words, Rukawa Kaede was a little surprised. Long Yan would actually give him the good opportunity to face Sendoh?
As for Akagi and others, they felt unbelievable.
Sakuragi Hanamichi is on the court? Long Yan, are you serious?
But Coach Anxi on the side looked at Long Yan with a smile on his face and nodded secretly. As expected, he could always find something different in Long Yan. His eyes were full of satisfaction, and then he agreed with Long Yan’s statement.
After all, the second half is the key to determining victory or defeat.
Finally, under the arrangement of Coach Anzai, Ryuhiko took a temporary rest and replaced Sakuragi Hanamichi.
What puzzles everyone is, where is Sakuragi Hanamichito?
Chapter 35: Tiangang Shigeichi, Danger!! (Old Version)
Ryonan High School, inside the campus.
The Sakuragi Army arrived late.
Walking on the road, the obscene smiles of Gao Gongwang and the other two scared many female students, and they all cast strange looks at them.
“Yohira, there are so many beautiful female students here. It’s like heaven on earth.”
The chubby little boy Takamiya looked at the students of Ryonan Girls’ High School who were wearing blue school uniforms around him with a lewd look on his face.
He has always been lustful, so when he saw so many beautiful women with unfamiliar faces at once, he naturally couldn’t control himself.
Yang Ping looked at the strange looks around him, looking embarrassed, and coughed lightly a few times to remind them.
“Hey, you guys, watch your appearance. We are here to cheer on Xiangbei High School.”
“How can you make such a lewd expression?”
Even Rao Yiyangping’s shamelessness was a little unbearable.
After hearing Yohei’s words, San came back to his senses.
“Hehe, yeah, then let’s go see that guy Sakuragi first.”
The obscene expression on his face also disappeared and he gradually became serious.
“Then let’s go, the game will be over soon.”
Yohei sighed softly, expressing his helplessness towards the trio of idiots.
Soon, they walked into the basketball hall.
I was quite surprised to see Xiangbei taking the big lead.
Although they don’t play basketball, they still have a general idea of Ryonan’s strength.
Then he began to look for Sakuragi Hanamichi.
At the same time, everyone in the Xiangbei rest area was anxiously looking for Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the rest area of Ryonan High School.
Sakuragi Hanamichi, wearing the red No. 15 jersey, was seen squatting behind Taoka Shigeichi.
Put your hands together to form a thousand-year killing gesture.
Just when everyone was stunned.
Sakuragi Hanamichi, with a wicked smile on his face, suddenly shouted, “Die! You old bastard!”
He poked Tanaoka Shigeka’s body hard with both hands.
Tian Gangshio suddenly felt a sharp pain in his body, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his face twisted.
“Ah! What the hell!”
Let out a very miserable wail.
Shigeichi Tanaka’s wailing attracted the attention of everyone in the basketball hall.
Yuzhu and others quickly pulled him up and focused their eyes on Sakuragi Hanamichi.
“Coach Tanaka? What happened to him?”
He asked doubtfully.
At this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi laughed triumphantly: “How dare you underestimate the strength of this genius!”
As he said this, he strode towards the Xiangbei rest area.
Shigeichi Tanaoka’s old face turned red, he felt extremely embarrassed, and then he became furious.
“Who are you, red-haired boy? What do you want to do?”
He pointed at Sakuragi Hanamichi and started scolding him.
At this time, Akagi Takenori also came to his senses.
“Sakuragi!!”
He ran up quickly and beat Sakuragi up, then sincerely apologized to Shigeka Tanabe.
There was a burst of laughter in the basketball hall.
“Hahaha, that red-haired guy seems to be a member of Xiangbei as well. What a strange guy.”
Yohei and his companions even fell to the ground laughing.
“That guy Sakuragi is so funny that he’s going to kill me.”
After a brief interlude, the game continued.
Players from both teams walked onto the court.
“The No. 10 player from Xiangbei didn’t play?”
“What’s going on? In the last five minutes, shouldn’t Ryonan’s counterattack be the best?”
“That red-haired guy, is he also a regular player of Xiangbei?”
The reporters looked around the field, but did not see Ryuhiko. Instead, they saw Sakuragi Hanamichi who had just attacked Tiangang Shigeichi’s back door, which shocked them.
Yohei saw Sakuragi Hanamichi on the court, and tilted his head with a big question mark above his head: “Sakuragi? He actually played? This is incredible.”
The audience’s eyes were on Sendoh.
“Xian Dao, Xian Dao!!”
The morale of the Ryonan team was instantly boosted.
When Shigeichi Tanaka took a look at the lineup of Shohoku, he couldn’t help but frowned.
“Long Yan? That guy didn’t come up?”
Then he sneered and consoled himself. “It seems that you are afraid of our Xiandao. After all, we are a team that is going to enter the national competition.”
The style of the painting changed, and he began to sternly rebuke Sendo and others on the field.
“Xian Dao, defeat them in one fell swoop and even the score!”
Hearing Taoka Shigeichi’s scolding, Sendoh smiled faintly: “This year’s Xiangbei seems to be a little beyond my expectations.”
Yu Zhu and others were in high spirits.
With the immortal way, they are invincible.
On the Xiangbei side, Akagi shouted, “Xiangbei, continue to widen the score.”
Even if it is the way to immortality, so what?
Rukawa Kaede fixed his eyes on Sendoh who was at the front: “Sendoh, let me defeat you.”
He finally got to face Xiandao as he wished.
The game begins.
Ryonan team serves.
Yuzhu passed the ball to Sendoh.
This moment is when Ryonan starts to counterattack.
Chapter 36: Fight between Dragon and Tiger! Sendo VS Rukawa! (Old Version)
Sendoh dribbled the ball forward with a calm expression.
Just dribbled past the midfield line.
Rukawa immediately opened his arms and stood in front of Sendoh.
While dribbling the ball, Sendoh looked at Rukawa in front of him and teased him.
“Ryukawa Kaede? I thought it would be Ryuhiko who would come to defend.”
According to his guess before he came on the court, the one defending him would be either Ryuhiko or Rukawa Kaede, and Ryuhiko might be more likely to defend him.
Since Long Yan is not on the court, he must be Rukawa Kaede.
Hearing the teasing tone of Xiandao.
Rukawa Kaede felt a hint of contempt.
“Xiandao, you talk too much nonsense.”
He responded bluntly.
It was obvious that when Sendoh said this, he did not take him seriously at all, but regarded Long Yan who did not play as his opponent.
Except for Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi, everyone else on the field has fought against Sendoh.
At this time, Mu Mu opened his mouth to remind: “Rukawa Kaede, be careful of that guy Sendoh, he is very fast.”
As a third-year student, Mu Mu naturally knows how powerful Sendoh is. His speed is beyond his reach. Since Ryuhiko is not on the court, he has to put his hopes on Rukawa Kaede. As for Sakuragi Hanamichi? It’s a blessing that he doesn’t mess around.
Rukawa Kaede nodded slightly.
Just when responding to Mu Mu.
Sendoh began to exert his strength and dribbled the ball to break through Rukawa’s left side in a breath.
“Boy, you dare to be distracted when facing me.”
When breaking through, he did not forget to taunt Rukawa.
“What speed!”
Rukawa’s pupils suddenly changed. This was his first time facing Sendoh, and he was directly broken through.
Murasakibara looked solemn, and Sendoh began to attack.
“Defense!!”
Sendoh continued to break through to the inside, with Rukawa following closely behind.
It was almost time to reach the free throw line.
Akagi was moved. Looking at the aggressive Sendoh, his body involuntarily took a step forward.
Long Yan, who was standing by the field, was surprised when he saw this: “As expected of a fairy, such a fast speed, is he going to rely on himself to attract firepower?”
Xiandao’s tactics were obvious, and as an outsider he could see them clearly.
Sakuragi Hanamichi had no time to react, and Sendoh broke through him.
Go straight to the basket and jump up.
“Xiandao, stop looking down on others.”
Akagi’s face was ferocious. Looking at Sendoh who actually didn’t take him seriously at all, he got angry and jumped up.
Extend your arm to block.
But just when his ball was about to touch the basketball.
Sendoh pulled the basketball back and smiled at Akagi.
“Akagi, I don’t look down on you.”
Then he used his right hand to pass the basketball accurately to Yu Zhu under the basket.
“Nice post!”
Yuzhu, who was not guarded, took the ball, praised Sendoh, and jumped up from the ground with his height of 2.03 meters.
He grabbed the basketball with both hands and did a gorilla dunk.
Excite the whole audience!
“roar!”
He roared loudly when he landed. At this moment, he seemed to release all the frustration in his heart.
“nice shot!”
Seeing how quickly they scored two points, Ueki and Ikegami cheered.
“Return to defense!”
When Sendoh saw that two points were scored, he glanced at Rukawa behind him, and then reminded Ueki and others.
There was a burst of screams from the audience.
“I finally see the cooperation between Xiandao and Yuzhu.”
“Xian Dao!!”
“It’s true that it’s different when Sendoh is on the field.”
Especially some loyal female fans of Xiandao, their eyes were filled with peach blossoms.
Tian Gangshi Shigeichi nodded his forehead lightly, showing great satisfaction.
“Did you see that? This is the strength of our immortal way.”
Aida Hikoichi gritted his teeth and said, “The cooperation between Sendou-senpai and Uozhu-senpai is amazing. What will Xiangbei do?”
Just one goal directly boosted Ryonan’s morale.
And on the Xiangbei side.
“That thorny guy is really amazing.”
“Shohoku is in danger.”
Yohei looked at Sendoh’s iconic hairstyle with a serious expression and muttered to himself.
And Akagi and the others breathed a sigh of relief: “Ryukawa Kaede, this is Sendoh, come on! Let’s get this goal.”
He did not blame Rukawa for not being able to defend against Sendoh.
Rukawa Kaede did not reply. He looked at Sendoh’s departing back, and his fists clenched unconsciously.
“Xian Dao, stop being so cocky.”
Sakuragi Hanamichi’s face was even more ferocious, waving his fist in the air: “Damned hedgehog head, let me kill you next.”
Mu Mu hurried over to comfort him.
Long Yan continued to rest, and Caizi looked anxiously at the court.
“You guys, don’t sit there, stand up. Even though we’re not on the court, Xiangbei’s morale cannot be lost!”
Then he called on the confused Kuwata and others to stand up and cheer for Rukawa and others on the field.
Long Yan did the same and stood up.
“Shohoku! Must win! Score this goal!”
“Shohoku! Come on! Shohoku! Come on!”
Although they were few in number, every one of them shouted with all their might.
This time it’s Xiangbei’s turn to serve.
Akagi passed the basketball to Yasuda.
Yasuda brought the ball across the center line, and Sakuragi Hanamichi immediately stretched out his hands and shouted: “Yasuda, Yasuda, pass the ball to me!!”
Just as Sakuragi Hanamichi was shouting, Ikegami followed closely and made a strict defense.
On the other side, Rukawa also reached out for the ball.
This put Yasuda in a dilemma.
“this!!”
Then he held the basketball with both hands, threw it with all his strength, and passed it to Rukawa Kaede.
Rukawa took the ball and muttered softly, staring sharply at Sendoh who was defending him.
“Xiandao, that shot just now was indeed good, but don’t underestimate me.”
As the words fell, his feet quickly exerted force and broke through the immortal path at an extremely fast speed.
Sendoh was surprised and quickly chased after Rukawa.
And he actually underestimated Rukawa’s speed, which was actually not inferior to his.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yuzhu under the basket immediately got rid of Akagi and chose to double-team Rukawa.
As he moved, Akagi’s feet began to exert force unconsciously.
He exchanged glances with Rukawa Kaede.
Come to the penalty area.
Right now, Rukawa jumped up and prepared for a layup.
“Kid, don’t even think about making a layup!”
Yuzhu shouted and jumped up at the same time.
There are fish pillars in front and fairy roads behind.
what to do?
Rukawa threw the ball steadily from under Yuzhu’s armpit and it went directly into Akagi’s hands.
“It’s over, I’ve been fooled!”
Yuzhu reacted at this time, but it was too late.
In full view of everyone, Akagi used the same move as Yuzhu and slammed the basketball into the basket.
“Shohoku! Slam dunk!”
Chapter 37: Xiangbei’s layman! Ryonan is chasing points like crazy! (Old version)
With the cooperation of Rukawa and Akagi for a dunk.
The whole audience was boiling again.
“Awesome, Xiangbei seems to be very strong this year.”
“Yeah, even after Sendoh came on the court, he still couldn’t stop Xiangbei from scoring, and that Xiangbei No. 10 didn’t play either.”
“What will Lingnan do?”
The reporters were holding microphones and were extremely excited.
Originally, they thought this was a game without any suspense, but now, Xiangbei is far ahead, which has to shock them.
Is this still the bottom-ranked team that was eliminated in the first round of the county competition?
The students of Ryonan High School were silent at this time.
It was originally thought that after the No. 10 of Xiangbei left the court, under the leadership of Sendoh, Xiangbei would be defeated in one fell swoop, but unexpectedly, Xiangbei immediately responded with two points.
At this moment, their initial contempt for Xiangbei disappeared completely.
If they still think that Shohoku is a weak team, then what is Ryonan?
But, after all, this is also Ryonan’s home court. After a moment of silence, people started cheering for Ryonan.
“Ryonan, come on! Sendoh, come on!!”
“Ryonan! Ryonan! Attack!”
Aida Hiko stood up, still looking very excited: “Shohoku is really strong, what Ryuhiko said is indeed true.”
“Ryonan, give up, don’t lose, come on!!”
Then he put down the notebook in his hand and started cheering for Ryonan.
Shigeichi Tanaoka had a grim look on his face. He sat on the chair and his feet couldn’t help shaking.
“Xian Dao, all of you should be more serious.”
He sternly scolded the Ryonan players on the field.
If you are not careful, it is possible that you will capsize in the ditch.
What’s more, there are so many reporters from Kanagawa here. If Ryonan loses after the practice match, it will be a huge loss of face.
How would other schools view Ryonan? They can’t even beat a team like Shohoku, and they’re still in the top four? This is really like an old lady pretending to be in bed. It’s so funny.
Moreover, off the court, there was a Long Yan who was eyeing the opponent eagerly but had not yet entered the court.
Hearing Taoka Shigeichi’s scolding.
Sendoh on the field also put on a slightly serious expression.
I thought to myself: “It seems that Xiangbei not only has Ryuhiko, but Rukawa Kaede is also quite strong. It’s getting more and more interesting.”
Xiangbei, Longyan was sitting on a chair.
He gave Rukawa Kaede and the others a thumbs up and couldn’t help but praise them: “Well done!”
Rukawa Kaede, who is usually taciturn, also responded to Long Yan indifferently.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Xiandao was filled with infinite fighting spirit.
This is just the beginning.
Ayako and others held toilet paper horns in their hands and continued to cheer for Rukawa and others.
“Xiangbei, Xiangbei, come on!!”
“Xiangbei, Xiangbei, defend!!”
“Damn you Rukawa Kaede, you’ve taken all the limelight, how can a genius like me get to show off?”
Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at Rukawa Kaede’s back and couldn’t help muttering to himself.
In his current opinion, who wins or loses in a competition, so what? The most important thing is to stand out.
Ryonan kicks off.
Sendoh took the ball and passed it to Ikegami who was defending Sakuragi Hanamichi.
The look he gave Sakuragi Hanamichi was full of confusion.
The red-haired guy must be Xiangbei’s breakthrough point.
Ikegami received the pass from Sendoh and Sakuragi Hanamichi came to defend.
“Old man No. 5, this genius will not let you pass.”
Sakuragi Hanamichi stared at Ikegami with a smug look on his face.
He began to fantasize about stealing the ball from Ikegami, breaking through Sendoh, and making a slam dunk over Yuzhu’s head, which echoed throughout the stadium.
When Ryuhiko was still on the court, Ikegami was facing off against Ryuhiko, but the former was repeatedly defeated, so Sakuragi Hanamichi volunteered to defend Ikegami.
I think Ikegami is just an ordinary guy.
Ikegami took the ball and looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi who had a silly smile on his face, and couldn’t help but wonder, what is this guy doing?
Then he ignored the distracted Sakuragi Hanamichi and made a steady shot from mid-range.
After Ikegami scored, Sendoh and others quickly retreated to the basket to defend.
Sakuragi Hanamichi came back to his senses amid the cheers and blinked.
He looked at the angry Akagi and others around him with a silly look on his face.
“Hmm? What happened?”
What followed was a group beating.
afterwards.
Xiangbei serves.
Sakuragi Hanamichi caught the ball as if possessed by a magician, with a look of excitement on his face.
It’s finally his time to shine.
“Beep! Xiangbei’s No. 15 is traveling with the ball!!”
The referee blew the whistle and pointed at Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Hear the referee’s voice.
Everyone off the court was stunned.
The red-haired guy, where is the super rookie you were supposed to be? How could he make such a low-level mistake?
Tian Gangshi Shigeka looked even more confused?
Then I saw the light of hope in Sakuragi Hana.
“It seems that Xiangbei’s No. 15 is a breakthrough point.”
He was too nervous, thinking that Sakuragi Hanamichi was also a super rookie like Ryuhiko and Rukawa. After all, the former’s height was quite intimidating.
Just when he came to his senses.
“Beep! Xiangbei No. 15 dribbled the ball and hit someone! Foul!!”
“Ryonan No. 4 free throw!”
The referee’s whistle sounded again.
Sakuragi Hanamichi’s consecutive fouls made Tanaoka Shigeichi smile for the first time in a long time.
“Although Xiangbei has super rookies like Ryuhiko and Rukawa Kaede, it also has unstable factors like the red-headed boy. In a while, Xiangbei’s previous leading advantage will disappear. Now is the time for Ryonan to catch up.”
“Ikegami, take good care of the red-haired guy. He’s an amateur and can beat them all in one go.”
Then he started yelling at Chi Shang.
In this case, it is only a matter of time before Xiangbei loses.
Hmm? A layman?
When Sakuragi Hanamichi heard this, he immediately became unhappy.
Just about to refute.
He was scolded by Akagi.
“Big idiot, watch your defense!!”
Hearing Akagi’s harsh scolding, Sakuragi Hanamichi instantly became timid.
There is 1 minute left in the first half.
Due to the defensive loopholes and the presence of Sakuragi Hanamichi on the court, Ryonan, under the leadership of Sendoh, scored 19 points directly through various three-pointers, dunks, and free throws.
And Xiangbei only scored 4 points in these few minutes.
The score between the two sides was 34:29.
“The score is almost tied, that’s it, Ryonan, come on.”
“A few extra points on that red-headed kid!”
“We’ll beat Xiangbei in one go!!”
The students of Lingnan cheered and were extremely excited.
Chapter 38: Xiangbei is in danger! Akagi is injured! (Old version)
The morale of both sides was completely reversed.
Ryonan became more and more courageous as the game went on, and although Shohoku had the support of Ayako and others, it was undoubtedly like a gnat trying to shake a tree.
The last minute of the first half.
Akagi felt the name of Sendoh echoing in the basketball hall and his face became solemn.
“Damn it!! Sendo has mobilized all the people in Ryonan.”
“Sakuragi Hanamichi, if you keep failing, I’ll take you off the court!”
During Ryonan’s scoring process, most of the points were scored over Sakuragi Hanamichi’s head, which made Akagi very uncomfortable.
Murasaki and others had sweat on their faces, their hands on their waists, breathing heavily. It was obvious that they had consumed a lot of physical energy on defense.
After Sendoh came on the court, while scoring points himself, he also motivated Yuzhu and others.
On the other hand, only Rukawa and Akagi were struggling to hold on. As for Murasakibara and Yasuda, their own strength was limited and they were lucky enough to be able to keep up with the pace of tree planting and cross-country running.
The biggest problem was with Sakuragi Hanamichi, who kept wanting to be in the spotlight and was competing with Sendoh and Rukawa, causing the rhythm of Shohoku to be disrupted. This also allowed Sendoh to seize the opportunity and lead Yuzhu and others to catch up in one fell swoop.
“I, I understand.”
Sakuragi Hanamichi’s mind was blank at this moment. This was his first time participating in a competition and he couldn’t keep up with the pace at all. Although he had no desire to win or lose at the beginning, seeing the mocking faces of the people from Ryonan, even he, who had a thick skin like a city wall, felt a little ashamed.
“Guard the rebound!”
Akagi walked over and touched Sakuragi Hanamichi’s head with his hand. Instead of yelling at him as usual, he looked relieved.
With tears in his eyes, Sakuragi Hanamichi nodded heavily.
“Yoshi! Let’s hold on for this minute!”
As the spiritual pillar of Xiangbei, Akagi chose to stand up and roar loudly.
For a moment, the students who were cheering for the Ryonan people were stunned as if in a trance, their eyes were dull.
“Oh! Xiangbei! We will win!”
Muguro and the others responded to Akagi’s call at the same time and shouted loudly.
Xiandao on the field locked his eyes on Long Yan, his lazy gaze filled with infinite provocation.
As for Xiandao’s provocation, Long Yan remained indifferent and did not react at all.
Seeing Long Yan’s attitude, Sendoh had no choice but to give up and turn his attention to Rukawa Kaede on the field.
Although Rukawa Kaede didn’t let him take him too seriously, at least compared to other people in Shohoku, he was enough to make him look at him seriously.
Shigeka Tanabe was looking at Coach Anzai’s position with a smug look on his face.
It seems to be saying, look, this is the strength of Ryonan. It’s probably still a long way to go for Shohoku to win.
This time it is Ryonan’s chance to attack.
After Sendoh broke through Rukawa, he planned to cooperate with Ikegami again to score over Sakuragi Hanamichi’s head.
However, Sakuragi Hanamichi defended tightly and finally Ikegami had no choice but to pass the ball to Yueyue, who made the shot.
Just when Cross Country was shooting, Murasakibara made a perfect interference.
The two of them reminded the personnel on both sides at the same time.
Yuzhu and Akagi once again began to compete for the advantageous rebounding position.
“Snap!”
A crashing sound was heard.
Yuzhu’s elbow accidentally hit Akagi’s eye.
Suddenly, blood flowed from the corners of Akagi’s eyes.
He covered his eyes and fell to the ground.
Seeing Akagi injured, Yuzhu widened his eyes and asked hurriedly.
“Akagi! Are you okay?”
Seeing someone injured, the referee blew the whistle immediately.
Murasaki and others rushed over immediately to check on Akagi who had fallen to the ground.
“Akagi!!”
Seeing blood coming out of Akagi’s eyes, Ayako immediately took a towel and rushed over.
As the team manager, he also served as the team’s medical staff. At this time, Akagi was injured and the bleeding had to be stopped.
The place suddenly became noisy.
“It seems that Akagi from Xiangbei is injured. I wonder if he is okay.”
“Then Xiangbei is in danger now. Akagi, the inside player, is injured. Who else can stop Yuzhu?”
Now is the perfect time to catch up.
Although Shigeka Tanabe was a little worried about Akagi’s situation, this was a godsend opportunity for Ryonan to win.
The game was briefly suspended.
Akagi must receive treatment immediately because of his ruptured cornea, so Xiangbei can only send someone to replace Akagi.
Seeing Akagi leave the field, everyone in the field turned their eyes to Long Yan who was off the field.
After all, in their opinion, if Long Yan doesn’t come out at this time, does Xiangbei have any other available people?
After observing Akagi’s injury, Coach Anzai immediately made personnel arrangements.
Instead of letting Ryuhiko play, the second-year player Kakuda Go replaced Akagi and played as the center.
Although Kakuta was nervous, he had no choice but to go on the court now that things had come to this point.
In the last minute, Kakuta replaced Akagi and made a free throw, scoring 1 point.
Yuzhu dunked over Kakuda’s head to get 2 points.
The first half of the game is over.
The score between the two sides came to 35:31.
Chapter 39 The second half of the game begins! Long Yan is a secret weapon? (Old version)
Players from both sides also went off the court to rest and arrange new tactics.
The Ryonan students in the audience looked at the score board and saw that the score difference was only 4 points.
A smile appeared on his face.
“Akagi probably won’t be able to come back. Based on Nakata’s performance in the last five points of the first half, it won’t be a problem for them to beat Shohoku without Akagi.”
“I also think that even if No. 10 comes back, it probably won’t change Xiangbei’s fate of losing. After all, Yuzhu is the master under the basket.”
“Ryonan, keep going!!”
While discussing the battle situation, continue to cheer for Sendoh and others.
Lingnan rest area.
Yuzhu, Yueyue and others wiped the sweat from their faces with towels.
Yanyi also fully played the role of a water dispenser player, serving tea and water.
“Senior Xiandao, Senior Yuzhu, everyone, keep up the good work!”
With a smile on his face, he did not forget to cheer them on.
Although he also wanted to play, his strength did not allow it, and Shigekazu Tanaka would not take the risk. After all, he was like Hanamichi Sakuragi. He could not be called a layman, but at most a closed disciple.
Xiandao had a calm expression on his face. He took the glass of water and started drinking it. There was not much sweat on his face. It could be seen that he did not exert much strength in the last five minutes.
Basically, we cooperate with the fish column and the pond to score points.
Shigeichi Tanaka sat on a chair, without much smile on his face. On the contrary, his brows were furrowed, and he seemed a little dissatisfied that Ryonan failed to overtake Shohoku before the end of the first half.
He glanced at the leisurely Xiandao and said:
“Sendoh, what’s wrong with you? We haven’t even reversed the score yet. You know, against a team like Xiangbei, even if we get 100 points, it won’t be an exaggeration. But how many points do you have now?”
“Now that Akagi is not here, and there is also the red-haired layman, it is simply a huge opportunity. Even if Long Yan plays, it won’t change anything. After all, we have the advantage in rebounding.”
“Yuzhu, occupy the best position under the basket and grab the rebound. Sendoh, you continue to feint and create opportunities for Yuzhu…”
Started to arrange the defensive tactics for the second half.
Originally, there was only one breakthrough point on the field, Sakuragi Hanamichi, but now after Akagi left the field, in Tanaka Shigeichi’s eyes, the breakthrough points became two.
“Yes! Don’t worry, coach. I will definitely be strong enough to rebound and won’t leave them any chance.”
Yuzhu patted his chest and spoke with confidence.
In his mind, without Akagi, who else could compete with Shohoku under the basket? The 180-centimeter Kadota? Or the layman Sakuragi Hanamichi?
One is not tall enough, the other one lacks skills, how can they fight?
As for Rukawa Kaede, he is guarded by Sendoh, so there is no need to be careful.
Ayako and Kuwata accompanied Akagi to the infirmary, leaving Ryuhiko and Ishii and the others alone.
When Coach Anxi saw everyone coming off the field, he praised them verbally.
“Yes, we are still in the lead now, but without Akagi-san, the pressure on the inside will be quite great. Sakuragi-san, are you up to the task?”
Then he turned his gaze to the distracted Sakuragi Hanamichi.
The inside is a very important position in basketball. It is responsible for defending under the basket and protecting rebounds. It has a great advantage in offense and defense and is like the hub of the team.
Hearing what Coach Anzai said, Murasaki and others frowned, confused?
Will Sakuragi Hanamichi replace Akagi? Will this work? Although Akagi taught Sakuragi Hanamichi the skills under the basket after the team training, the latter has no practical experience and is also a god-level person. I don’t know what will happen.
Sakuragi Hanamichi came back to his senses and his expression was no longer as frivolous as before. Instead, he looked quite solemn.
“Oh, oh, okay. In that case, just leave the basket to me.”
Seeing that Sakuragi Hanamichi agreed, Coach Anzai continued to arrange the next tactics with a smile on his face.
“Tatsuhiko, you take a break. The game has not yet reached its critical moment. Your lineup remains unchanged, but in terms of man-to-man defense, Sakuragi and Kakuda will swap positions…”
Although the current situation is not very favorable for Xiangbei, it is not yet time for a do-or-die battle.
Mu Mu and the others were surprised when they heard the arrangement of Coach Anxi. Long Yan would not play? However, they still did not refute and just nodded.
Long Yan also frowned. Why did Coach Anxi do this?
Just as he was about to speak.
The second half of the game began.
“The game begins!”
The referee gave the order.
Players from both teams come on the court.
The audience’s eyes immediately swept over Murasaki and his companions, but did not see Ryuhiko.
I couldn’t help but let out a puzzled sound.
“Isn’t that No. 10 from Xiangbei still available?”
“What kind of tactic is this?”
“In that case, Ryonan, defeat Shohoku in one go!!”
They didn’t understand why Ryuhiko didn’t play after Akagi left the court.
At this time, Coach Anxi sat next to Long Yan with a kind smile on his face.
“Ryuhiko, have you rested enough? Get ready. You’ll be on stage in three minutes.”
Chapter 40: Ryonan scores consecutive goals and ties the score! (Old version)
Seeing Coach Anxi coming over, Long Yan greeted him politely.
“Five minutes? I think that should be enough.”
“I think the captain will be back by then. You want me to play with Captain Akagi for the final decisive moment, right?”
Then he thought for a moment and answered.
Even if he is on the court now, although he will be a guarantee on the offensive end, he can’t stop Ryonan’s Yu Zhu at all on the defensive end, and can only score points against each other, thus wasting their energy.
Coach Anxi’s glasses gleamed with light, and he said in an approving tone, “Very smart. Now I hope they can do their best to defend Ryonan.”
What Long Yan said was probably what he meant. After Rukawa Kaede had exhausted Sendoh’s physical strength as much as possible, Long Yan would take action and kill the final match.
Shigeru Tanabe put his hands on his chin, stared at Coach Anzai, and began to speculate in his mind.
“Coach Anxi seems to be betting. What is he betting on? Akagi? Or Ryuhiko?”
He didn’t know what Coach Anxi was thinking, so he gave up trying to think and just yelled at Sendoh and the others.
“Sendoh, Yuzhu, take advantage of Akagi’s absence and directly defeat their inner line.”
“The rest of you, cheer up and increase the score!”
I had a vague feeling that something was wrong, and the only foolproof plan was to increase the score first.
I heard Taoka Shigeichi’s scolding.
Xiandao and others were excited.
Under everyone’s watch, Ryonan began to attack with the ball.
“Everyone, keep this ball!”
Seeing Ryonan preparing to attack, Murasakibara took a defensive stance and encouraged everyone.
Now that Akagi is not here, we must defend tightly and not let Sendoh take the ball to the basket.
While Murasakibara was speaking, Rukawa and the others quickly took a defensive stance to meet Ryonan’s attack.
“Don’t worry, I’ll leave the basket to this genius.”
Sakuragi Hanamichi sat under the basket and spoke shamelessly.
Rukawa didn’t say anything, just watched Sendoh advancing with the ball.
No matter what, he must defend this ball to maintain Xiangbei’s lead.
Kakuta and Yasuda looked solemn. This was the first goal of the second half and they had to defend it.
Cross the center line.
Sendoh began to observe Shohoku’s position.
Yuzhu under the basket reached out for the ball, he wanted to break down Xiangbei’s inside line in one fell swoop.
Sendoh continued to dribble the ball to the three-point line and passed the ball to Yuzhu under the basket without hesitation.
“Yuzhu got the ball!!”
Murasakibara tried his best to limit Ryonan’s attack through mid-range shots, but Sendoh still passed the basketball to Yuzuki under the basket.
His body also began to move towards the basket, ready to assist in defending Sakuragi Hanamichi.
“Boss Monkey, don’t even think about scoring a goal!”
When Sakuragi Hanamichi saw Yuzhu get the basketball, he quickly stretched out his little arm to hold up Yuzhu’s body, but his height was not enough, and Yuzhu just threw the ball into the basket steadily.
“Two points for Ryonan! The score is now 35:33.”
“That’s it, come on Yuzhu!”
The audience in the stands also stood up and cheered after the goal.
“Damn it! Damn Monkey Boss!”
Sakuragi Hanamichi held the ball and started muttering to himself.
Kakuda, who was closest to him, immediately comforted him.
“Sakuragi, you defended that ball beautifully just now. Keep it up. I believe you can do it.”
The best thing about the last ball was that there was no foul. As for the action, it was indeed much more standard than before.
Sakuragi Hanamichi regained his spirits and began to switch offense.
Muguro was relieved to see that Sakuragi Hanamichi was not angry.
Sakuragi Hanamichi was very worried that without Akagi around, he let himself go again.
“Yasuda!”
Sakuragi Hanamichi passed the ball to point guard Yasuda, who rushed forward with the ball.
When it comes to planting trees, he can’t gain any advantage at all.
Immediately pass the basketball in his hand to Rukawa Kaede.
“Yasuda, you actually passed the ball to Rukawa! Ah!!”
Upon seeing this, Sakuragi Hanamichi immediately yelled at the innocent Yasuda.
Although he shouted, his body still ran towards the basket on its own.
As soon as Rukawa received the ball, Sendoh immediately came up to him.
However, even though Sendoh was defending, Rukawa, who was strong on offense, quickly broke through Sendoh and made a direct mid-range shot.
“Bang!”
The basketball was just a little off the mark and the shot went straight into the air.
“Rebound!”
Murasakibara immediately reminded Sakuragi Hanamichi under the basket.
A smile appeared on Shigeichi Tanaoka’s face, and he was secretly happy.
“Rukawa is the only threat on the court right now. As long as we can stop Rukawa, Xiangbei will be declared scrapped.”
As for rebounding, he doesn’t have to worry at all. As a layman, how can Sakuragi Hanamichi compete with the experienced Yuzhu?
Just when he was secretly happy.
Sakuragi Hanamichi grabbed the rebound.
Everyone exclaimed: “How could it be possible? The No. 15 player from Xiangbei could actually grab a rebound?”
“What a terrifying jumping ability.”
I never expected that Sakuragi Hanamichi could grab the rebound over Yuzuki’s head.
Sakuragi Hanamichi grabbed the rebound with a smug look on his face.
“Look at my genius slam dunk!”
As soon as he landed, he jumped vertically again, intending to dunk.
“Stop looking down on others.”
Sakuragi Hanamichi’s action directly angered Yuzhu, who blocked the shot and grabbed the basketball from Sakuragi Hanamichi’s hand.
“Xian Dao!”
He threw it with force and directly to Sendoh on the outside.
Zhishu and the others immediately reminded him, and Sendoh took the ball, quickly started his body, and ran towards the Xiangbei basket like a rocket.
Rukawa gritted his teeth and followed closely.
But even if he chased, he still couldn’t match Xiandao’s speed.
Sendoh jumped from the free throw line and, in front of everyone’s eyes, slammed the ball into the basket.
“Come on, Sendo!”
There were screams from the audience.
At this time, Ryonan tied the score.
35:35.
Chapter 41: Immortal Demonstrates His Power! Akagi Returns! (Old Version)
After simply treating his wound, Akagi was worried about the situation in the game, so he quickly returned to the basketball court.
Ishii and others also hurried to check on Akagi’s condition.
Akagi waved his hand to indicate that nothing serious happened, then sat on a chair and watched the game on the field.
Without Akagi’s restriction, Yuzumi was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, wreaking havoc on Shohoku’s basket.
“Damn it! This monkey boss.”
Sakuragi looked at Yuzumi’s back as he returned to defense and cursed angrily.
Just now, Uozumi received the pass from Sendoh under the basket, and with a simple back-to-the-basket move, he shook off Sakuragi and dunked under the basket.
Rukawa Kaede panted, glanced at Sakuragi who was still cursing, and said nothing.
Just for a few minutes in the second half, Rukawa was double-teamed.
Although he could still rely on his strong personal ability to score a few points with difficulty, apart from him, the entire Xiangbei firepower was completely silent.
Ayako looked worriedly at Rukawa Kaede who was running back and forth on the basketball court, and whispered to Coach Anzai beside her.
“Coach, except for Rukawa and Sakuragi, the morale of Murasakibara and the others has plummeted.”
Coach Anxi still had that smiling face, and seemed not worried at all about the situation on the court, even though Shohoku was already ten points behind.
“Oh no!” Ayako exclaimed.
Kadota, holding the ball, stood hesitantly at the top of the arc, holding the ball above his head with both hands, his eyes looking around for Rukawa’s position.
Seeing that there was little time left for the attack, Kakuta was still unable to pass the ball and could only reluctantly pass the ball to Sakuragi under the basket.
Unexpectedly, before the ball reached Sakuragi’s hands, a figure appeared from the wing like a ghost.
“It’s Xiandao!”
Sendoh had already guessed Kadota’s passing route and had been lying in ambush on the flank early in the morning.
“Quick attack, quick attack!”
“Senior Xiandao is so handsome!”
It only took 5 seconds for Sendo to run to the front court.
“Don’t even think about dunking!”
However, the most unexpected ones were Sakuragi and Rukawa.
The two of them were like arrows shot from a bow, instantly catching up with Sendo’s speed, and the three of them ran towards the front at the same time.
As if he noticed the two people chasing him from behind, Sendoh originally just wanted to make a simple layup to score, but now he changed his mind.
Sendoh jumped high up, as if he was not bound by gravity. Holding the ball in his right hand, he was like a fully drawn longbow.
“dream!”
“Don’t try to dunk!”
Rukawa and Sakuragi behind him jumped up at the same time, and they were ready to teach Sendoh a lesson from behind.
However, unexpectedly, at the same time Rukawa and Sakuragi jumped up, Sendoh actually received the ball to his chest again.
What Sendoh was thinking about at the beginning was a gliding slam dunk. When he heard Rukawa and Sakuragi chasing him, he was already prepared.
However, Rukawa and Sakuragi were completely unprepared. After they jumped up, they found that Sendoh in the air was doing a gliding slam dunk.
Sendoh easily dodged the block of the two people and stretched his abdomen and raised his arms again.
The loud sound of a slam dunk echoed throughout the Ryonan stadium.
The air suddenly fell silent for dozens of seconds, and then burst into excited praise.
“Senior Sendo is so amazing, he can even dunk like this!”
“Those two Xiangbei players can jump very high, but they are still not good enough in front of Senior Sendoh.”
“As expected, without Akagi and that number 10 on the court, Shohoku is no threat at all.”
Listening to the noisy noise around him, Sakuragi raised his head angrily and looked at the audience around him.
“Be quiet, you people!”
“It’s over, it’s over, Sakuragi is angry and wants to fight.”
Fashionably dressed Mito Yohei looked at Sakuragi on the field with a smile.
“Pray for the dude who dunked.”
Gao Gongwang also looked like he was enjoying the fun and was muttering to himself.
“Fight! Fight!”
Although Noma Chuichirō and Ōkusu Yuji, who were standing beside the two men, didn’t say anything, you could tell how excited they were by looking at the way they couldn’t help laughing.
“Don’t hold me back.”
Rukawa looked coldly at Sakuragi beside him.
“It’s obviously you who held me back. If it weren’t for you, how could that hedgehog-head dunk be so easy?”
Sendoh, who was returning to defense, glanced at Rukawa and Sakuragi who were still arguing, his eyes full of smiles.
“Xian Dao, well done!”
Uozumi high-fived Sendoh who was returning to defense, and then looked towards the demoralized Shohoku team.
“We have to win this game by 100 points!”
The powerful voice sounded particularly loud at this moment, causing all the players of Ryonan to roar excitedly.
“That’s it! We’ll win this match in one go!”
“Today we have to beat Xiangbei by 100 points!”
“Sure enough, Xiangbei is still the same as before, a team consisting of only Akagi. When Akagi leaves the court, the whole Xiangbei can’t even play basketball.”
Long Yan sat on the chair, took off the towel on his head, and watched the score gradually widen. He was a little surprised.
“As expected of the immortal way, it would not be fun if it didn’t have this level.”
Then he turned his gaze to Coach Anxi standing beside him.
Coach Anzai remained very calm, with no sign of change at all, his eyes simply locked on Rukawa who was dribbling the ball.
At this time, the defender in front of Rukawa was Sendoh.
“Let me see what level the MVP of junior high school is at.”
Rukawa did not answer, but just dribbled the ball back and forth between his legs, while his body kept moving, looking for the place where Sendoh’s defense was out of position.
However, it has to be said that the reason why Sendoh can be praised as a player of the same level as Shinichi Maki and Kenji Fujima is not only because of his offensive ability, but also his defensive ability.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Rukawa, who had not been able to break through, stared at Sendoh’s eyes closely.
Rukawa had thought about using his speed to defeat Sendoh, but when he saw the two Ryonan teammates who were eyeing Sendoh covetously behind him, he had to give up this idea.
Suddenly, Rukawa Kaede caught the ball and jumped high at the same time. His flowing bangs swayed in the wind, and his whole body was tense like a pole.
“Dry pull!”
Ayako clenched the paper in her hand and looked at Rukawa nervously. Now Rukawa was the only one she could trust.
But Sendoh seemed to have guessed Rukawa’s thoughts long ago.
Sendoh also jumped high, and his right fingertips touched the basketball thrown by Rukawa Kaede.
“Rebound!”
Sendoh and Rukawa landed almost at the same time, but compared to Rukawa’s astonishment, Sendoh turned around and reminded Yuzumi under the basket.
“Leave it to me!”
Yuzumi under the basket roared and pushed Sakuragi away with his body.
Yuzumi, who was standing tall like a pillar of heaven, stretched out his long arms and took the rebound directly into his arms.
“Sakuragi still lacks a lot of experience.”
Akagi said with a sigh.
Yuzumi swung his right arm and made a long pass from the backcourt, sending the ball steadily into Sendoh’s hands.
Sendoh, who was in a dominant position, made a simple layup and scored the ball again.
Just five minutes into the second half, the score gap between the two sides was already approaching 20 points!
Chapter 42 Are you just good at talking? (Old version)
Just when the morale of the Ryonan team was high.
“Shohoku requests a timeout!”
The referee blew the whistle and the game was suspended.
Within five minutes of the second half, Ryonan directly overtook the opponent and the score was 42:58.
Xiangbei was behind by 16 points.
At this moment, all the students of Lingnan cheered.
“If this continues, Xiangbei will definitely lose. They only have one Rukawa Kaede. What will happen even if Akagi and Ryuhiko play?”
“Hahaha, yeah, looking at Sendoh, it seems like he has just gotten into the state.”
“Ryonan, come on! Sendoh, come on!”
The whole audience continued to cheer for Ryonan.
The reporter from Kanagawa looked at Shohoku, which was trailing by a large margin, and sighed, “Alas! It seems that Shohoku still can’t change the outcome of defeat.”
“I wonder what tactics Shohoku’s coach Anxi will come up with during this timeout?”
“Akagi seems to be back, but I don’t know if he will play.”
Afterwards, the reporter turned the camera to the Xiangbei rest area, where Ayako was checking Akagi’s wound.
Seeing everyone sweating profusely, Akagi clapped his hands to boost morale and said, “Well done. It’s good that we didn’t fall behind by double digits. Now it’s time for us to fight back.”
He casually patted Sakuragi Hanamichi on the head and comforted him: “Sakuragi, that’s it, well done!”
After he came back, although Sakuragi Hanamichi did not limit Uozu’s scoring too much, he still defended a lot of backcourt rebounds. Otherwise, Ryonan would have overtaken by 20 points by now.
“Sakuragi Hanamichi, you’ve made great progress this time.”
Ayako handed a bottle of water to Sakuragi Hanamichi and praised him.
Sakuragi Hanamichi stood up and heard everyone’s praise. He finally revealed his true face with a proud look on his face.
“Hahaha, I told you I’m a genius.”
Rukawa rolled his eyes at the complacent Sakuragi Hanamichi and gasped for breath. It was obvious that he had tried his best on both offense and defense, but facing the double-team of Ryonan, even he found it a bit overwhelming. But Murasakibara and others were unable to step up and score, and in the end all the pressure was on his shoulders.
Soon, Coach Anxi began to deploy tactics.
“Shiozaki, you replace Yasuda, Rukawa, and Sakuragi Hanamichi. Let Akagi and Ryuhiko take a break.”
“Pull the gap as far as possible and let Long Yan shoot and score…”
After hearing Coach Anxi’s deployment, everyone nodded without objection, except for Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was very excited and looked unhappy.
“Dad, I can still play. I want to play.”
“Without this genius, they will have a hard time.”
Sakuragi Hanamichi started to complain.
Coach Anxi smiled and comforted him, “Sakuragi Hanamichi, don’t forget, you are the secret weapon.”
After hearing about the secret weapon, Sakuragi Hanamichi sat down proudly.
Shigeka Tanabe continued to deploy tactics.
“The morale of Xiangbei has dropped sharply now. It is time for us to defeat them in one fell swoop. You continue to maintain the double-team tactics just now. As soon as the ball reaches Rukawa Kaede or Ryuhiko, double-team them immediately. Don’t leave any chances. As for Yuzhu, Akagi should be on the court later to protect the rebounds. I believe you can do it…”
Now Ryonan is leading by 16 points. If they play steadily, Shohoku will not be able to catch up.
“Ryonan, we must win!”
Yuzhu shouted loudly to boost morale.
The referee’s whistle sounded.
“Let’s go!”
Hearing the whistle, Akagi threw down the towel in his hand, shouted loudly, and led everyone onto the court.
Looking at Akagi in front of him, Mu Mu asked worriedly: “Akagi, is your body really okay now?”
“Haha, don’t worry.”
Akagi laughed and answered nonchalantly.
When they saw the players from Xiangbei come on the court, the audience and reporters immediately started scanning the crowd.
In an instant, everyone started talking.
“Akagi, Akagi is on the court, and the number 10 is also on the court.”
“Are you finally unable to sit still? Rukawa Kaede and the red-haired guy are not on the court.”
“Is this the tactic of the Xiangbei coach? I am really looking forward to it. I wonder how the number 10 will perform.”
See Akagi and Ryuhiko come on stage.
Tian Gang Shigeka snorted coldly, “Are we finally going to play? But now we are leading by 16 points. Even Akagi and Ryuhiko can’t make a comeback. Coach Anzai, it looks like we will win this game again.”
Moreover, Rukawa Kaede was not found in the team that played for Shohoku, which further increased Shigeichi Takaoka’s confidence.
Seeing Akagi on the field, Yuzhu immediately had a strong desire to fight. He did not care about Akagi’s injury, but mocked him: “Akagi, I thought you didn’t dare to play.”
Akagi has always been a huge rock in his heart. His goal in this game is to defeat Akagi so that he can regain his confidence and prepare for the arrival of the county competition.
“Haha, Yuzhu, don’t be too proud. We’re only leading by 16 points.”
Facing Yuzhu’s provocation, Akagi responded in a cold tone.
And Sendoh looked at Long Yan who was on the court and teased: “Hey, Long Yan, are you finally willing to play? Don’t let me down too much. In addition to Akagi, are there any other players in Xiangbei?”
In response to Sendo’s teasing, Long Yan smiled, spread his hands, and teased: “It seems that the legendary Sendo is just a guy who can only talk. But it’s only a 16-point lead, is it a lot?”
Hearing Long Yan’s ridicule, Xian Dao was not angry at all. Instead, he laughed out loud: “Hahaha, Long Yan? You are really funny. Then let’s speak with strength.”
“Sizzle, sizzle!!”
As Long Yan and Xian Dao looked into each other’s eyes, there seemed to be a sound of electric current colliding.
Seeing this, Yueyue patted Sendoh on the shoulder and said, “Sendoh, why bother taking a weak team like Shohoku so seriously? The game has begun. Next, don’t let them get even a single point.”
“A bedbug is a bedbug. Who the hell are you?”
Long Yan’s eyes were indifferent and his tone was cold, not giving any face at all.
“you!!”
Yueyue’s face turned black and he wanted to continue talking nonsense.
“Beep! The game begins!”
“Shohoku serves!”
The referee announced that the game would continue, interrupting everyone’s verbal battle.
Chapter 43: Domineering Long Yan, powerful dunk! (Old version)
Return from pause.
With Akagi and Ryuhiko on the court, Xiangbei’s momentum was completely different, and the confidence that Murasakibara and others had just lost was restored.
His face was filled with a strong desire to fight.
“After Akagi and No. 10 came back, the momentum of the entire team in Xiangbei was completely different.”
“This is a crucial goal for Xiangbei. If we can’t score, the morale of Xiangbei’s other players will probably be greatly reduced.”
“What will Akagi do? What will Xiangbei’s No. 10 player do? It’s really exciting.”
Seeing the morale of Shohoku soaring, the students started discussing the game with great anticipation even though it was Ryonan’s home court.
“Shohoku! Must win!”
Before serving, Akagi roared, inspiring the depressed hearts of Murasakibara and others.
start.
Akagi passed the ball to point guard Yasuda.
Yasuda was advancing with the ball, and just as he crossed the half-court line, Ueki rushed over and launched a tight defense against him.
“I won’t let you go. Hehe, even if Akagi comes back, so what? Xiangbei will lose. It’s a foregone conclusion.”
Facing Yasuda, who was shorter than him, Ueki teased him mercilessly.
“Humph, the game has just started, you are too happy too early.”
Although Yasuda is a rather timid person, that was only when he was facing the bully Sakuragi Hanamichi. He was not afraid of Ueki at all.
“Yasuda, pass the ball to me!”
As soon as he saw Yasuda cross the half-court line, Long Yan raised his hand to signal.
When Yasuda heard Ryuhiko asking for the ball, he passed the ball directly to Ryuhiko on the side of the three-point line with his right hand without any hesitation.
Seeing Long Yan holding the ball, the defending Ikegami couldn’t help but move his feet slightly for a moment, probably because he was traumatized by the previous attack from Long Yan.
“Xiandao, be careful, that boy is not simple.”
Ikegami, who always seeks stability, still cautiously reminded Sendoh. After all, this was Sendoh’s first time facing off against Ryuhiko.
Xiandao gave Chishang a heartwarming smile.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.”
With arms outstretched, he was ready to defend.
“Long Yan, I wonder who is stronger between you and Rukawa Kaede?”
Seeing Long Yan holding the ball, Sendoh started teasing him out of curiosity.
“Why don’t you try it and find out?”
Long Yan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a forced smile.
Then, without waiting for Sendoh to answer, Long Yan suddenly lowered his center of gravity, and with a simple move of his crotch, he switched the basketball that was originally in his right hand to his left hand.
Directly activate the super start skill and break through from the left side of the sendo.
The speed was like a red lightning. Before Xiandao could react, Long Yan had disappeared in front of him.
“Nani!”
Xiandao’s face changed and he turned around quickly, only to see Long Yan’s body turned into a C shape and passed by Ikegami who was assisting in the defense.
His figure was like a gust of wind, passing by the pond in an instant.
In just three seconds, Long Yan was only one step away from Yuzumi under the basket.
Yuzumi looked at Long Yan in surprise as he passed two people, and only one thought flashed through his mind.
“This kid is so fast! He’s not inferior to Xiandao at all!”
In a flash, Long Yan had already jumped under the basket. He jumped very high, and the whole person was like a sharp arrow shooting into the sky.
The reporters couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement as they watched Long Yan pass both Sendoh and the other man.
“Shohoku’s No. 10 is so fast that he passed Sendoh and Ikegami directly. What is he going to do?”
“Directly facing the fish pillar?”
Looking at Long Yan who jumped high, Yu Zhu shouted loudly, completely forgetting Akagi who was standing beside him.
“Boy, don’t underestimate me.”
Seeing that Long Yan was about to take off in his own penalty area, Yuzumi immediately jumped up and tried to block Long Yan.
At the same time, Sendoh had also arrived at the defense from the outside. The two of them, one in front and one behind, wanted to strangle Long Yan directly under the basket.
Everyone in the audience stared at the three people who jumped high, holding their breath, thinking in their hearts.
“That’s too much of a stretch!!”
“Even for Shinichi Maki, it would be difficult to dunk under the defense of Sendoh and Uozumi.”
“It’s going to be blocked!”
Tian Gangshi’s eyes widened with a look of disbelief.
“That kid Long Yan actually planned to dunk directly on Sendo and Yuzhu’s heads?”
“That’s too simple of a thought.”
Yan Yi clenched his teeth, held his breath, and stared at the three people hovering in the air.
Rukawa Kaede, who was off the court, watched this scene, holding the towel on his head tightly in his hands, and a hint of excitement flashed across his cold face.
“Junior Long Yan!!”
Ayako’s lively eyes stayed on Long Yan, a look of worry emerged on her pretty face, she clasped her hands tightly in front of her chest and shouted in a deep voice.
Long Yan twisted his waist fiercely in mid-air, and at the same time, he caught the ball with his right hand, and the basketball that he had raised was forcibly brought to his chest.
Long Yan lowered his head slightly, passed under the basket, and raised his right hand backwards.
The sound of the dunk was so clear in the silent arena.
Everyone in the stadium had an expression of disbelief on their face.
“The ball went in?”
Chapter 44: Chasing points again! That’s it? Long Yan provokes Xian Dao! (Old version)
After watching Long Yan’s slam dunk, the audience was silent for a moment, then burst into amazement.
“Oh my god, what is that!”
“Is he really just a high school student?”
“It’s hard for even black high school students to do this kind of action.”
“Switch hands and dunk under the basket. It’s so difficult that Xiangbei’s No. 10 can actually do it!”
Deafening cheers resounded throughout the entire stadium, and almost everyone was discussing Long Yan’s actions just now.
Akagi reached out and pulled up Long Yan who was lying on the ground, and patted his shoulder heavily.
“That slam dunk just now was really beautiful!”
Long Yan rubbed the shoulder that Akagi had patted, with a bitter taste in his lips.
“No wonder Sakuragi called you a gorilla, your grip was too strong.”
“What did you say?”
Akagi didn’t hear what Long Yan said clearly, and turned to look at Long Yan in confusion.
“I say, Uozumi-senpai’s body is too strong.”
“Don’t get too complacent. Yuzumi is one of the four great centers in Kanagawa. It’s great that you can score against him.”
At this time, the faces of the Ryonan players were filled with shock.
Xiandao looked at Long Yan who fell to the ground in surprise.
“I really underestimated you.”
Yuzumi’s face turned pale.
Ever since he was hailed as one of the four great centers in Kanagawa, it has been a long time since anyone dunked in front of him.
Even Shinichi Maki, the strongest high school student in Kanagawa, would basically use layups to score when facing the basket he was defending, and would basically not take such tough measures.
His face was full of disbelief. Long Yan was very different from him in height and body shape.
He could actually dunk in front of me?
“Are you finally going to be serious?”
Ayako’s beautiful eyes flickered, and a hint of fascination could be seen in her eyes.
Coach Anzai, who was standing next to Ayako, laughed happily, his eyes full of satisfaction behind his glasses.
On the other side of the bench, Shigeichi Tanaoka looked at the smiling Coach Anzai and sighed silently in his heart.
In terms of personal charm and coaching ability, I am far inferior to Coach Anxi.
The Mitsui of the past, the Rukawa and Ryuhiko of the present.
If he could have gotten one of them, he would have rushed out of Kanagawa long ago. How could he always return home disappointed in the semi-finals?
“With such excellent physical fitness, he switched hands in the air and dunked, even against Yuzumi and Sendoh.”
“Coach, did you see that? Long Yan is so strong.”
Hikoichi Aida was writing and drawing on a notebook, his face full of excitement.
“Not only does he have a soft shooting touch, but he is also very good at breaking through and attacking the basket. He is also very strong in aerial confrontation. It seems that he has no shortcomings at all.”
Taoka Shigeichi punched Hikoichi hard on the head.
“Don’t boost others’ ambitions and destroy your own prestige, Yanyi.”
On the court, Long Yan, who was returning to defense, looked at Rukawa Kaede off the court and smiled slightly.
Rukawa Kaede’s cold face moved slightly. He glanced at Long Yan but did not interact with him.
“Why wasn’t I the one who stole the spotlight just now?
Sakuragi Hanamichi was dancing and jumping around on the court, suddenly going crazy.
Akagi stood in the penalty area, standing tall.
“Defend this ball well first.”
Ryonan served the ball and Zhishu dribbled forward.
Although Ueki is not well-known, his dribbling skills as a point guard are obviously much higher than Yasuda.
Just a simple change of direction was enough to pass Yasuda.
Uesugi rushed to the top of the arc and saw Kakuta who was ready to provide backup defense.
“Although the technology is not very good, it has always been stable. It is better not to take the risk.”
Zhishu thought secretly in his heart, and then threw the ball high into the basket.
“Suicide ball?”
Kakuta looked at Ueki who was throwing the ball casually with confusion.
Muguro suddenly shouted in Kakuta’s ear.
“Quick attack! Quick attack!”
When Kakuta turned his head, he saw Ryuhiko already running to the half court with the ball.
“Wow, did you just see that?”
“That No. 10 from Xiangbei jumps so high.”
“When did he appear in that position? Wasn’t he always defending Sendoh on the wing?”
It turned out that just when Ueki had just broken through Yasuda, Ryuhiko had already activated the Phantom Interception skill.
He is gambling.
He bet that Ueki would never attack on his own, he would definitely pass the ball and it would definitely be passed to Uozumi. After all, the key to this game was to help Uozumi regain the confidence to defeat Akagi.
As it turned out, his bet was right, and the tree planting process seemed to him to be in slow motion.
Long Yan jumped high and easily intercepted Zhishu’s pass in the air, and launched a fast break at the same time.
“Damn it, I’ve been seen through.”
Zhishu bit his lip in dissatisfaction, looking at Long Yan who was riding far ahead of him.
“This guy is too fast.”
Yueyue stared at Long Yan’s back, but he could only watch the gap between himself and Long Yan getting wider and wider.
After Long Yan stole the ball, Sendoh was also surprised. His insight should not be underestimated.
Turn around and increase your body speed.
Long Yan was extremely fast and reached Ryonan’s basket in less than five seconds.
The only one who can keep up with Long Yan is Xiandao.
Sendoh chased after him and tried to block Long Yan from behind again.
But it was still too late.
Long Yan made a simple layup and scored two points again.
Long Yan turned his head and looked provocatively at Sendoh who had returned to defense.
“That’s it? I feel like your sixteen-point difference isn’t enough.”
Chapter 45: The True Strength of Xiandao! (Old Version)
The stadium was boiling again.
In just twenty seconds, he single-handedly recovered the four-point deficit.
A slam dunk and a steal.
This fully and comprehensively demonstrates Long Yan’s excellent breakthrough and defensive abilities.
“I feel like Ryonan played a little too casually.”
“Ryonan needs to stabilize the situation first. If they continue playing like this, they will be overtaken even if they have a 12-point lead.”
On the court, Akagi and others surrounded Long Yan and praised him with satisfaction.
“Great fight, let’s make up for the gap in one go!”
Compared to the excitement of the Xiangbei people, Long Yan was very calm.
Because he knew that Xiandao might also be serious.
At this time, Shigekazu Tanaoka on the sidelines could no longer sit still and shouted to the Ryonan players on the field.
“Come on, everyone! Do you want to double your training tomorrow?”
The Ryonan team members suddenly stiffened, as if they thought of some painful memories.
Zhishu and Yueyue stared at Long Yan fiercely.
It seemed like they were about to defeat Xiangbei because Ryuhiko scored four points in a row.
The original sixteen-point gap was narrowed to twelve points.
The smile on Xiandao’s face disappeared, and his lazy eyes became extremely sharp.
This freshman was not as easy to deal with as he had imagined.
He could feel a kind of pressure from Long Yan.
It is no less stressful than facing Makino.
Xiandao took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
“Play it safe and take this one first.”
Yuzumi and others felt a completely different aura from Sendoh. It seemed that Sendoh was serious.
Akagi is very experienced in competitions, and he yelled at the Xiangbei players next to him.
“Defend this ball and defeat them completely!”
Sendoh dribbled the ball and stood at the top of the arc, and Long Yan immediately stepped forward to defend.
Long Yan looked at Xiandao indifferently with cold eyes, while lowering his center of gravity and opening his hands.
Looking at Long Yan in front of him, Xiandao did not continue teasing this time.
Instead, he launched an offensive directly, first passing the ball back and forth between his hands under his crotch, while at the same time making a certain breakthrough with his body, trying to use fake moves to shake Long Yan’s center of gravity.
However, Long Yan’s focus did not change at all. He just stared at Xiandao’s shoulder seriously.
Sendoh dribbled the ball between his legs and took two steps back, then suddenly made a ball-handling move.
“Vote!”
Long Yan immediately stood up and stretched out his right hand, wanting to block the immortal path directly.
However, I didn’t expect this to be a fake move.
Sendoh just raised his left hand but didn’t hold the ball.
“Chance!”
Seeing that Long Yan had lost his balance, Xiandao immediately lowered his center of gravity, changed direction and passed by Long Yan’s right hand side.
“Defense, defense!”
Akagi shouted. At that moment, he thought Sendoh was going to shoot, but he didn’t expect it was another fake move.
“Leave it to me!”
Kakuta immediately rushed to Sendoh and wanted to reach out and grab the basketball.
But Kadota’s defensive moves were too novice for Sendoh. With Sendoh’s dribbling ability, how could he be easily intercepted by Kadota?
Sendoh immediately hugged the ball to his chest, stepped his right foot next to Kadota’s left foot, and at the same time blocked Kadota with his body.
Kakuta stretched out his hand but found nothing. Sendoh turned around like a butterfly and passed by him.
When Kakuta wanted to turn around and shoot the basketball in front of Sendō’s chest, he found that he couldn’t turn his body at all.
“Oh no!”
Seeing that Sendoh had passed two people and entered the penalty area, Akagi immediately stepped in front of Sendoh to defend.
With Sendo’s ability, as long as he can break through to this position, he has a hundred ways to throw the basketball into the basket.
Sendoh jumped straight up and raised the ball to the highest point.
“Want to shoot? Impossible!”
Although Akagi is strong, his body is much more flexible than Yuzumi’s.
Akagi just jumped up and reached for the basketball in Sendoh’s hand with his right hand.
“wrong!”
It was only then that Akagi realized that Sendoh did not jump straight up, and the basketball in Sendoh’s hand was actually getting farther and farther away from him.
“Fade away jump shot?”
Ayako looked at Sendoh in shock as he almost fell to the ground. This move was not simple at all, and he actually mastered this one move.
However, Sendoh leaned back and did not attack.
Instead, Sendoh waited in the air for a long time, and when he was about to land, he threw the ball heavily towards the basket with his right hand.
Akagi looked at Sendoh in confusion as he was about to fall to the ground.
“What kind of shot is this?”
Akagi suddenly reacted and turned to look at the basket.
A huge monster flew into the air, grabbed the basketball thrown by Sendoh, and slammed it heavily into the basket.
The force was so huge that even the basketball hoop was shaking.
“Alley-oop!”
“Good shot, Uozumi-senpai, Sendoh-senpai!”
“This is the strength that our immortals should display!”
Long Yan looked at Sendoh being pulled up by his teammates and felt a little surprised, “As expected of Sendoh.”
But there were no surprises.
His eyes were full of fighting spirit.
“This is the game I want to play!”
Chapter 46 Luck? Strength? Long Yan once again made a long three-pointer! (Old version)
The cheerleaders of Ryonan raised the ribbons in their hands excitedly and continued to cheer for Sendoh and others.
“Ryonan will win!”
“Xian Dao will win!”
Although Xiangbei relied on Ryuhiko’s personal ability to score four points in a row, the score was rapidly narrowing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But with the cooperation of Yuzumi and Sendoh, the score once again came to 14 points.
“Uozumi-senpai is awesome, you are the best center in Kanagawa!”
“Let’s dampen their spirits. They are just first-year students after all.”
“High school basketball isn’t a place where he can just play casually on impulse!”
“That No. 10 from Xiangbei has no way to deal with the serious Sendou-senpai.”
The students of Ryonan around put their hands to their mouths and cheered for Ryonan, with their voices getting louder and louder.
“Come on Ryonan!”
Akagi looked at the Shohoku players around him with concern.
After all, Shohoku is still the bottom-ranked team that has never made it out of the top 12 in the county. If it weren’t for the joining of Rukawa Kaede, the basketball team wouldn’t even get much attention.
Under such noise, even someone as strong as Akagi had some changes in his mentality.
He patted Long Yan’s shoulder heavily. Right now, the only teammate he could trust on the court was Long Yan.
At this moment, the system’s voice sounded in Long Yan’s mind.
[System Task]: Overtake the score within five minutes.
[Reward: Eye of Insight (Passive Skill)]Long Yan opened his eyes wide, his face full of shock.
Eye of Insight, a passive skill that can see through all feints and even predict the opponent’s actions.
This is a good thing. If I had this just now, then Xiandao’s fake moves would not have fooled me at all.
“Five minutes…”
Long Yan whispered softly.
Although it is a little difficult, it is not impossible.
“If I start shooting from the entire court, it will be very tiring, but I haven’t used my quick recovery skill yet.”
Long Yan made up his mind immediately.
The reward for the Eye of Insight is really too good to be true.
Akagi held the ball high in his hand, ready to pass it to Yasuda.
However, Ryuhiko stood directly next to Yasuda and waved his hands at Akagi.
“What the hell is this kid doing?”
Akagi looked at Long Yan in confusion. Did he want to fight Sendoh directly?
But catching the ball at this position is a bit too far.
Akagi shook his head at Ryuhiko and continued to prepare to pass the ball to Kakuta who was waiting on the side.
“Even if you want to play one-on-one, it’s necessary to let your teammates dribble across half court.”
Akagi thought secretly in his heart.
However, Long Yan did not return to defend, but still stood there waving his hands at Akagi.
Akagi hesitated for a moment, but thinking that Ryuhiko had performed well so far, he finally passed the ball to Ryuhiko.
“If you can’t score this goal, you’re done.”
Akagi glared at Long Yan fiercely and went straight back to the inside to defend.
Long Yan dribbled the ball and slowly came to the center line.
However, to everyone’s surprise, Long Yan did not continue to move forward, but instead stopped where he was and made a shooting gesture.
“Is this true?”
“Are you bluffing? The basketball is only halfway through.”
“Have you given up? Just throw a random ball. If that’s the case, why don’t you pass the ball to Akagi?”
The players on the field also had stunned expressions.
Although the Xiangbei players had seen Long Yan’s long three-pointer during the team game, this was a competition. Could he be so sure?
Long Yan grabbed the basketball with one hand and stood at the center line. He pressed his right hand down, signaling his teammates around him to stay calm.
Although the distance was far, Long Yan’s attitude was extremely confident and he didn’t seem to be pretending at all.
Sendoh looked at Long Yan in astonishment as he took a shooting stance.
“This kid, no way?”
“It’s probably just an act, Yuzumi, get ready for the rebound!”
Coach Tanaoka yelled from the bench.
“Long Yan seems to be a little too confident. Even an NBA superstar can’t guarantee a hit at such a long distance!”
The reporter taking pictures on the sidelines captured Long Yan’s most confident moment.
“Even if the shot didn’t go in, a guy with his confidence will definitely be a standout in high school basketball in the future.”
The reporter put down his camera and commented quietly.
Before anyone could react, Long Yan jumped high and chose to shoot.
The basketball passed through Long Yan’s fingertips. Long Yan’s shooting posture was like a beautiful picture, and every movement was just right.
The basketball in Long Yan’s hand drew a beautiful parabola in the sky.
For a moment, everyone’s heart was moved by the basketball flying in the air.
The distance doesn’t seem far, but at this moment it seems so long.
All eyes are on basketball.
After Long Yan made the shot, he didn’t even choose to go inside to fight for the basketball, but turned around and left, as if he had already predicted the outcome of this shot.
The basketball went into the net, and Long Yan made this half-court three-pointer!
All the questioning voices in the audience stopped abruptly!
Chapter 47: The Terrifying Long Yan, Ryonan Requests a Timeout! (Old Version)
Except for everyone from Xiangbei, everyone else’s face was filled with disbelief.
His eyes were still fixed on the parabola drawn by the basketball in mid-air.
“This ball is really fake.”
“This must be a lucky ball, it must be.”
“Half-court three-pointer? How is it possible to have such a range?”
“And the ball was surprisingly high and went into the net, which is different from a normal shot.”
On the bench of the Ryonan team, even the knowledgeable Shigeka Tanabe had a grim look on his face.
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
Having been a basketball coach for many years, he had never seen a shot like this before. Moreover, whether it was the parabola of the basketball in the air or the shooting distance, it did not look like something a freshman in high school could shoot.
Yan Yi covered his mouth in surprise and spoke with a tone full of disbelief.
“Can you make a three-pointer from such a long distance? A first-year high school student can shoot the ball so high? This is incredible, coach.”
Xiandao’s pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at Long Yan who had already returned to defense in some surprise.
This ball actually went in?
If it was just a lucky shot, it would be fine, but if it was really his strength, it would be a bit too scary.
On the other hand, the people from Shohoku were not as surprised as the students from Ryonan who were watching.
After all, Kuwata and others had already seen Long Yan’s long three-pointer during the team basketball game.
However, when I see it again as a viewer now, I still feel extremely shocked.
If this kind of ultra-long three-pointer is really Long Yan’s regular weapon, it means that Long Yan has almost no weaknesses.
Ryonan serves.
Sendoh looked at Long Yan with sharp eyes and asked for the ball from Zhishu who had just dribbled across half court.
This is Ryonan’s tactic. When the offense of the entire Ryonan team is in trouble, Sendoh will use his singles ability to break the predicament for Ryonan.
The immortal way at this moment is the strongest state of immortal way.
When Sendoh started scoring, almost no one could stop him in high school.
Sendoh stood in front of Long Yan holding the ball, his body swaying with the basketball.
Although there were no fancy moves, in Long Yan’s eyes, Sendoh’s whole body was full of fake moves.
Sendoh has perfectly combined fake moves with dribbling breakthroughs.
“Is it a breakthrough or a shot?”
Long Yan stared at Sendoh’s eyes. Although his defense was not bad, it was still far inferior to the terrifying attack.
Suddenly, Sendoh’s left shoulder moved closer to Longyan’s body.
“Break through on the left?”
Long Yan subconsciously moved towards the left.
Unexpectedly, Xiandao simply changed direction, leaned his left shoulder on Long Yan’s body, and broke through directly from Long Yan’s right.
Long Yan reacted extremely quickly and immediately turned around to chase after Xian Dao who had already broken through.
But he was still a step too slow, and Xiandao took advantage of this gap to directly enter the restricted area.
It only took Sendoh two steps to break through to the basket.
“Don’t think about scoring easily!”
Akagi under the basket immediately gave up on Yuzumi who was blocking the position with him and went to defend Sendoh who broke through to the inside.
However, facing the aggressive Akagi, Sendoh did not worry at all. Instead of retreating, he advanced, jumped high, and met Akagi who came to reinforce his defense.
The sound of a slam dunk echoed throughout the stadium.
Sendoh completed a slam dunk over Akagi’s head!
However, before the surrounding Ryonan students could celebrate, Kakuta made a long pass across half the court and passed the ball directly into Ryuhiko’s hands.
Long Yan stood one meter away from the three-point line with the ball.
Xiandao, who had already returned to defense, immediately defended in front of Long Yan.
“You won’t be able to shoot easily this time!”
“Have they already started defending from such a distance? It seems that Long Yan’s shooting has caused a lot of trouble for Sendoh.”
Ayako looked at Ryuhiko who was holding the ball with some concern. Sendoh’s defense was far beyond their imagination.
Even Rukawa Kaede, who has the strongest singles ability, couldn’t get any advantage from Sendoh.
However, Long Yanque was not worried at all.
He stared at Xiandao with his burning eyes.
“Super start!”
Long Yan activated the super start skill again.
Xiandao only felt that Long Yan in front of him disappeared in front of his eyes like a gust of wind.
Long Yan instantly threw Xiandao behind him.
Standing outside the three-point line, Long Yan shot the basketball in a beautiful parabola, which was simply a smaller version of a mid-field shot. It was another beautiful pull-up three-pointer.
The basketball went into the basket again!
The score instantly came to 52:62.
Only ten points behind.
The Ryonan cheerleaders no longer had the momentum they had just now. They all looked at each other and looked at Long Yan’s back in confusion.
“Are this year’s freshmen really that strong?”
At the beginning of the second half, they scored four points in a row. Just as Ryonan had the momentum to catch up, they made two consecutive three-pointers.
The key point was an unreasonable long three-pointer.
Long Yan had only been on the court for two minutes and he had already scored 10 points. This scoring efficiency was outrageous.
The freshman on the Xiangbei bench jumped up from the bench excitedly.
“Well done, Long Yan!”
“Let’s just tie the score in one go.”
“Let Ryonan know how powerful we are!”
Shigeichi Tianoka sat on the bench in a daze, staring at Long Yan’s back.
If the lead is reduced to less than ten points, Ryonan’s situation will be very bad.
Moreover, the morale of the Xiangbei team is now greatly boosted. If their offensive momentum cannot be curbed, it is only a matter of time before the score is tied.
“We can’t wait any longer.”
Shigeka Tanabe immediately made a pause gesture to the referee.
The referee nodded and the whistle blew.
“Ryonan team requests a timeout!”
Chapter 48: Double-team tactics and delaying tactics? (Old version)
“Why did Akagi and Shohoku’s No. 10 only play for less than two minutes before the timeout?”
“We recovered a six-point deficit in less than two minutes. The most important thing is that Ryonan has been scoring.”
“It seems that Coach Tanaoka is also feeling the pressure.”
The audience on the sidelines looked at Long Yan in shock as he returned to the bench.
In less than two minutes on the court, he scored ten points!
Long Yan almost suppressed the offensive firepower of the entire Ryonan team by himself.
Ryonan team rest area.
Coach Tiangang glared at the players around him angrily.
“What on earth were you guys fighting about just now! You were beaten like this by a freshman! If you lose this game, all your training will be doubled from now on!”
The expressions of the Ryonan players froze instantly.
“This brat!”
Yuzumi panted and glanced angrily at Longyan who was fighting with someone nearby.
The members of the Ryonan team looked at the culprit fiercely, with the anger in their eyes almost bursting out.
The training volume of the Ryonan team has always been the heaviest among all high school teams.
Almost all of them trained day and night on the court, to the point where they couldn’t even move a finger.
And this is also the reason why Ryonan has been able to remain in the top four in Kanagawa Prefecture.
Although he scolded, Coach Tiangang knew it very well.
They are still leading by ten points. As long as they can maintain the lead, it will not be difficult to win the game.
“Yueyue, Chishang! After the game starts, the two of you will double-team Long Yan in the half court. Don’t leave him open!”
“We are now in the lead, and we must wait until the last minute for every attack and use delaying tactics.”
“Yes, Coach!”
Xiandao frowned, somewhat displeased.
Coach Tagore actually treated a freshman like this. You know, even when he met the county’s number one coach, Shinichi Maki, he didn’t do this.
In the rest area of Xiangbei, there was a happy scene.
Kuwata and others looked at Long Yan with admiration.
“Your three-point shot is so accurate, Long Yan, it directly forced Ryonan to call a timeout.”
Coach Anxi saw everything and nodded at Long Yan with a smile.
I thought of Long Yan’s long three-pointer again and couldn’t help but admire it in my heart.
“This kid is really a killer!”
Akagi clapped his hands, drawing everyone’s attention to himself.
“Long Yan, keep going for the rest of the game. Leave the rebounds to me and just shoot with confidence.”
“Yes, we tied the score right away!”
Megure added on the side.
“No, I don’t think so.”
Long Yan thought for a moment and shook his head.
“After the timeout, I thought Ryonan might adopt a double-team tactic, and it would be difficult for me to have a good chance to shoot. I thought we should disperse the offensive firepower.”
Long Yan turned his gaze to Rukawa Kaede.
“Did you get enough rest, Rukawa?”
Rukawa Kaede pulled the towel off his head and stood up directly from the bench.
“I’m never tired.”
“Just do as Long Yan said.”
Coach Anxi cast a loving look at Long Yan and agreed to Long Yan’s arrangement.
“I want to play too! Dad!”
Sakuragi rushed to Coach Anzai’s side and pushed Coach Anzai’s double chin with his hand.
“Dad, let me play. This genius will definitely lead Xiangbei to victory!”
“Shut up, Sakuragi!”
Akagi’s fist hit Sakuragi’s head hard, and a big bump appeared on Sakuragi’s head.
Now is a crucial moment. Sending Sakuragi to play? It would be better to just play four against five!
“Why? That damn fox gets to take the spotlight, but this genius has to sit on the bench.”
Sakuragi complained unhappily.
“Sakuragi, you are our secret weapon.”
Coach Anzai was not angry because of Sakuragi’s behavior. Instead, he patiently comforted Sakuragi.
“Secret weapon!”
Sakuragi’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“Yeah, I’m a secret weapon.”
Sakuragi stood in front of Rukawa with a cocky look on his face
“Stinky fox, you just need to fight a little later, and wait for this genius secret weapon to lead you to victory.”
Rukawa gave Sakuragi a cold look.
“What did you say! You stupid fox.”
“Okay, stop arguing!”
Akagi glared at Sakuragi and Rukawa, then turned his gaze to the rest area of Ryonan.
“It’s our turn!”
And from the audience seats outside the stadium, bursts of giggles could be heard from time to time.
“If Sakuragi were on the court, he would definitely knock that hedgehog-head over.”
“Did you see the way that gorilla beat Sakuragi? Hahaha, Sakuragi is like a little chicken in front of him.”
“Come on Sakuragi, use some violent basketball to knock that monkey boss down!”
Several members of the Sakuragi Army started cheering for Sakuragi from outside the stadium, but the distance was too far and their voices could not reach Sakuragi’s ears.
“A-choo!”
“Is someone scolding me again?”
Sakuragi turned around and looked around, but couldn’t find the person who scolded him.
“Stop laughing, stop laughing!”
Yohei Mito hurriedly reminded the Sakuragi Army beside him.
“Aren’t you afraid of angering Sakuragi again?”
The members of the Sakuragi Army hurriedly suppressed their laughter and dared not to anger Sakuragi again. They really didn’t want to try Sakuragi’s iron head skill again.
Following a whistle.
The game continues!
Chapter 49: Xiangbei Twin Stars, Rukawa Kaede Goes Wild! (Old Version)
Ryonan Arena.
The entire stadium fell into silence for a short period of time, and all people could hear was the referee’s voice.
Xiangbei sent out their strongest lineup at the moment.
The three outside shooters are Ryuhiko, Mugure and Kadota, the center is Akagi, and the small forward is Rukawa.
This is a lineup with extremely strong scoring capabilities. With Long Yan, Xiangbei has excellent three-point shooting ability from the outside and can launch sudden attacks from any position at any time.
With Akagi as the pillar of the inside, he is not weak even when facing Yuzumi.
Rukawa Kaede has extremely strong offensive capabilities in the mid-range, and almost no one can restrict him well except Sendoh.
The audience in the venue took a deep breath.
“This Xiangbei is planning to win the game directly.”
“Ryonan is in danger. The scoring ability of this Xiangbei lineup is too strong.”
“If we limit Long Yan, then Akagi and Rukawa Kaede can definitely destroy Ryonan, but if we limit Akagi and Sendoh, Long Yan’s three-pointer threat is too great!”
Yueyue, who was facing Long Yan, sneered.
“I’m going to defend you next, so don’t even think about scoring.”
Long Yan grinned, his eyes full of disdain.
“You think too highly of yourself.”
Sendoh stood in front of Rukawa holding the ball, while Ryuhiko slowly walked to Rukawa’s side.
Suddenly, Sendoh lowered his center of gravity, made a simple change of direction, and directly shook off Rukawa.
“careful!”
Long Yan was ready to make up for the defense immediately, but was blocked by Yueyue in front of him, which reminded Rukawa Kaede.
But Sendoh broke into the inside and immediately chose to break through and pass the ball to Yuzumi under the basket.
Sendoh thought he had attracted enough attention, but he never expected that there was a goalkeeper guarding under the basket.
Yuzumi received the ball and immediately jumped for a layup, but the huge block completely blocked his view.
“Yuzumi, you can’t do that.”
After Akagi caught the fish, he did not forget to make a sarcastic remark.
Yuzumi stared at Akagi’s face with resentful eyes. It had been three years, and in these three years he had not been able to overcome the hurdle posed by Akagi.
Although Ryonan’s record in the past three years has always been far stronger than Akagi’s.
But in the match between the two, he never won once.
“Out-of-bounds ball! Ryonan has the ball!”
Sendoh hurriedly walked to Yuzumi’s side and patted Yuzumi’s butt.
“Fish, don’t be anxious! Steady and steady.”
Yuzumi let out a long sigh, nodded, and then glanced at Shigeka Tanabe on the sidelines.
Only then did he remember the delaying tactics, and couldn’t help but sigh, then reminded Sendo and others.
“Pay attention to the attack time!”
fine.
The ball still belongs to Ryonan, and Ikegami serves.
Ikegami was holding the ball outside of bounds, looking around, and when he saw the right opportunity, he passed the ball to the nearest cross-country runner.
Yueyue held the ball and pretended to break through Long Yan directly.
However, Long Yan blocked his breakthrough route.
Even though Long Yan’s defensive ability was not very strong, due to Long Yan’s height and previous performance, Yue Yu had to give up the idea of breaking through and started looking for Sendoh’s position.
Long Yan’s eyes flashed and he suddenly reached out to grab the ball.
Yueyue, who was still in a daze, suddenly felt that he lost control of the basketball in his hand, and turned around to look.
Long Yan is already advancing towards Ryonan’s backcourt with the ball.
“Nice steal!”
“Fishing for the moon in the bottom of the sea!”
Ayako jumped up excitedly, her beautiful eyes full of light.
Long Yan dribbled the ball to the basket. He just turned his head slightly and saw Yueyue following closely behind him.
“It’s time to lay up!”
Yueyue followed closely behind Long Yan, and when he saw Long Yan make a layup, he immediately stood up and blocked the shot.
The idea of a nail-board hat had already taken shape in his mind.
However, when Yueyue jumped up, he found that Long Yan had retracted his hand again.
“Fake move!”
Seeing that Yueyue had been completely shaken off by him, Long Yan once again raised the ball in his hand, ready to make a layup.
“Don’t even think about it!”
Sendoh finally arrived. He jumped high and wanted to block Long Yan directly under the basket.
At the critical moment, Long Yan twisted his body in mid-air and threw the ball in his hand backwards from his head.
“I leave it to you, Rukawa Kaede!”
Rukawa received the pass from Ryuhiko and easily scored a slam dunk.
The score difference returned to single digits, only eight points behind.
Coach Tanaoka, who was sitting on the bench, had a gloomy face and scolded Yueyue.
“Don’t be distracted when facing Long Yan! Cross-country!”
Yueyue quickly lowered his head and apologized repeatedly.
“Did you see that just now? That pass.”
“The No. 10 from Xiangbei and the No. 11 have a tacit understanding in their cooperation.”
“Both of these guys played really well.”
The crowd outside the stadium was excited. Only eight points left! Xiangbei’s chances were getting bigger and bigger!
But the subsequent games were very different from the previous ones.
Ryuhiko, who performed well, was frequently taken care of by Ryonan and didn’t even have a chance to connect with the ball.
Sendoh, who focused on defense and delaying tactics, only scored four points.
In contrast, Rukawa Kaede, without the restrictions of Sendo, demonstrated what the level of a junior high school MVP is.
Breakthroughs, mid-range shots, fadeaways, and post-ups, Rukawa can do it all.
At the same time, Akagi under the basket had his way with Yuzumi, and he showed all the technical characteristics that a center should have to the audience.
With Rukawa Kaede’s elegant three-pointer, the score was completely reversed!
Xiangbei leads Ryonan by one point!
Chapter 50: A Final Battle! (Old Version)
“Overtaken! Overtaken!”
“Oh my god! Xiangbei’s scoring ability is too strong!”
“It’s not even five minutes yet and Xiangbei has already scored 16 points!”
The audience watched in shock as Rukawa made an open three-pointer, directly reversing the score.
And at this time, the time is less than five minutes!
Long Yan has been taken special care of by Lingnan.
During this period, Long Yan even had difficulty connecting the ball.
But Rukawa Kaede was left vacant. As the MVP of junior high school, Rukawa Kaede also has the ability to change the situation of the game.
After all, there is only one person named Sendoh, and he cannot take care of two super scoring points at the same time.
This is like a cup of poison. Ryonan can either choose to be beaten by Rukawa’s one-on-one shot after another.
Or they could just choose to be killed by Long Yan’s three-pointer.
Only then did the audience realize that Xiangbei is now too strong.
They not only have the inside pillar Akagi, one of the four major centers in Kanagawa.
And there are two very stable scoring points on the outside.
The most important thing is that these two players are extremely efficient in singles. If they are not double-teamed, they are fully capable of scoring points in singles.
Ayako stood in the rest area of Xiangbei, raising the fan in her hand high.
“Come on, Xiangbei! Come on, Xiangbei!”
Inside the stadium, the shouts of encouragement for Xiangbei were much louder than before.
The faces of the Ryonan players turned pale and looked very ugly.
In desperation, Coach Tiangang could only call another timeout.
Xiandao sighed helplessly.
When Xiangbei launched an all-out counterattack, he also tried hard to score, but how could his one scoring point compare to Xiangbei’s multiple scoring points?
In the end, they couldn’t escape being overtaken.
Coach Tiangang did not get furious as expected, but instead patiently comforted everyone.
“Shohoku is now completely different from the previous Shohoku, which is unexpected, but you are not weak either. Besides, the game is not over yet, right? Cheer up.”
Coach Amaoka is no mediocre person. He has already clearly discovered the characteristics of Shohoku’s lineup.
Two excellent attackers and an inside pillar.
As long as the overall shooting touch of this lineup is not lost, it will not be too difficult to face the dual-core Ryonan.
not to mention…..
Coach Tanaoka looked at Yuzumi with some regret.
Even now, when Yuzumi faces Akagi, he still cannot play to his full potential. This is more like a psychological problem rather than technical ability.
Yuzumi lowered his head with some self-blame and covered his head with the towel.
If he had performed better and been tougher, there’s no way Xiangbei would have been able to overtake the score so quickly.
“The game isn’t over yet, they’re only leading by one point.”
Coach Tanaoka patted his players on the shoulders.
“In the next game, we will play close defense and not give them comfortable shooting space. Offensively…”
Coach Takeo glanced at Uozumi who lowered his head, then turned to look at Sendoh who was silent.
“Leave it all to Sendoh on offense.”
However, in the Xiangbei rest area, the atmosphere was much more relaxed.
Coach Anzai had a smile on his face and looked at Rukawa and Ryuhiko with satisfaction.
“This year’s freshmen are very strong. Ryuhiko and Rukawa are top scorers. It’s only a matter of time before Ryonan loses.”
“You guys played really well.”
Coach Anxi finally announced his first and last tactic of the game.
“In the next period of time, Rukawa will control the ball and Long Yan will play without the ball. We have to maintain the lead until the end of the game!”
“yes!”
The game starts again.
Ryonan has the ball.
When Ryonan came on the court again, it was obviously much more cautious than before.
Sendoh nodded to Zhishu, who immediately understood and directly blocked Rukawa’s right side.
Murasaki, who was defending Sendoh, did not react in time and was unable to make timely defense. He could only watch Sendoh’s three-pointer go into the net.
The score is ahead again!
“Senior Sendo is indeed Ryonan’s trump card!”
“As long as Senior Sendo is here, Ryonan will always have a chance to win!”
“This is the true level of Senior Sendo, the trump card of our Ryonan!”
The audience of Ryonan began to cheer again.
It’s Xiangbei’s turn to attack.
Ryonan chose a very aggressive close defense, especially Rukawa Kaede, who was guarded by Sendoh himself.
As the trump card of Ryonan, Sendoh’s defense is naturally not weak. Rukawa Kaede tried many times but failed to successfully break through Sendoh.
It is too difficult to force a pull-up shot. The scene of being blocked by Sendo just now is still vivid in my mind.
In desperation, Rukawa could only choose to pass the ball to Long Yan.
At this time, Long Yan, who had already obtained the Eye of Insight, was no match for Xiandao.
As for Yue Yue, who was closely guarding Long Yan, he was full of flaws in the eyes of the former.
Long Yan could find at least ten ways to get past him.
Long Yan raised the corner of his mouth and spoke softly to Yueyue.
“You don’t think you can stop me like this.”
Long Yan’s Eye of Insight was activated immediately, predicting Yueyue’s next move.
“Move left?”
So he simply changed direction under his hips and passed the off-road vehicle on the left in one step.
“What!”
Yueyue looked at Long Yan in surprise, his eyes full of astonishment.
Long Yan made a direct jump shot and scored two points.
The score is tied again!
Chapter 51: The training match is over! Xiangbei wins! (Old version)
The cheers from the surrounding Ryonan students were getting weaker and weaker, and many Ryonan students had even started to leave the stadium early.
Even Ryonan’s fan club couldn’t help but close their eyes.
“Ryonan is going to lose, I can’t believe it.”
“Those two freshmen have completely changed Xiangbei.”
Sendoh was breathing heavily and wiping the sweat from his forehead with the collar of his jersey.
He looked at the breathless Rukawa Kaede in front of him with burning eyes.
Behind Liuliu Feng, Long Yan and Akagi were ready to go, ready to provide reinforcements at any time.
Sendoh looked towards the scoreboard.
Ryonan is already eight points behind.
In the last few minutes, except for Sendoh, the entire Ryonan team was silent.
Even Yuzumi under the basket was completely locked down by Akagi.
Since Akagi came on the court, Uozumi has not scored a single point. Every time he was either intercepted or disturbed by Akagi.
He is completely unable to take advantage of his height inside.
If it weren’t for Sendo’s almost unstoppable singles ability, the score between the two teams would have been even bigger.
With the Eye of Insight activated, Long Yan was like a fish in water.
Long Yan’s points and assists are increasing rapidly, and steals are even better results.
Yueyue was stunned. Whether he was attacking or defending, his every move was completely seen through. He was repeatedly intercepted by Long Yan, leading to the climax of his defensive counterattack.
Now some cross-country students are even afraid to touch basketball.
He always felt that as soon as he touched the basketball, there would be a risk of being intercepted by Long Yan.
“How come this kid is so strong!”
Yuzumi looked at Longyan’s back with some confusion.
This kid always finds opportunities to pass the ball to the most suitable person.
In the last few minutes alone, Long Yan had frequently assisted Akagi and Rukawa to score several points.
Xiangbei has the ball.
Long Yan stood at the top of the arc with the ball, and his teammates around him all moved away, leaving enough space for Long Yan to play one-on-one.
Long Yan just did a simple dribble between his legs, and Yue Tuo quickly took several steps back.
At this time, Yueyue was like a frightened bird, and it was too difficult for him to defend Long Yan.
“Conditioned reflex?”
Long Yan looked down at Yueyue, then clenched the ball and jumped high.
“Don’t even think about shooting!”
Yueyue immediately jumped high, trying to block Long Yan.
A barely audible smile appeared at the corner of Long Yan’s mouth.
“I fell into a trap.”
Then he jumped up and passed the ball, and the basketball drew a straight line over the cross-country player’s head.
Yueyue thought to himself that something was wrong. As soon as he landed, he saw Akagi flying into the air and dunking the ball with great force.
The basketball hoop began to shake and made a harsh sound.
Akagi narrowed his eyes and looked at Yuzumi in front of him, who had lost his fighting spirit.
“Yuzumi, your defense is getting weaker!”
“Shut up, Akagi!”
Yuzumi glared at Akagi and turned back to defend.
“Fake throw, real pass!”
“What a tacit cooperation!”
“Shohoku is really getting better and better.”
“The game is almost over. If they continue playing like this, Ryonan will lose.”
The audience cheered again. Xiangbei’s style of play was really good. Not only did they have stable shooters and excellent organizers on the outside, but they could also frequently make aerial relays.
Akagi in the interior was like a pillar, firmly suppressing Uozumi, one of Kanagawa’s four major centers.
This is completely different from the Xiangbei of the past.
In the past, Xiangbei was completely a team of Akagi alone. Once Akagi was locked down, Xiangbei’s defeat was only a matter of time.
The eyes of the audience outside the stadium involuntarily turned to Long Yan and Rukawa Kaede.
It is because of these two new students that the appearance of Ryuhiko and Rukawa Kaede completely changed Shohoku.
Ryu Yan is more comprehensive than Rukawa. Not only does he have a domineering and unreasonable three-point shot, but his organizational ability is also far better than Rukawa.
He can lead the team to score points as a attacker and keep the score close.
He can also serve as the brain of a team and perfectly complete the work of connecting teammates.
Obviously, Ryonan’s targeted defense against Long Yan did not achieve the desired effect.
A player like Long Yan is simply a killer in high school.
On the Ryonan bench, Coach Takeo had a solemn expression on his face. He looked at Ryuhiko who was scoring points crazily with inside and outside shots, and he couldn’t help sighing in his heart.
“Is Lingnan going to lose this time?”
There is only one minute left in the game!
The dawn of victory was just around the corner, and even Akagi couldn’t help but get excited.
Akagi was very excited and roared loudly.
“Fighting delay!”
Long Yan held the ball and began to move forward slowly. He completely controlled the rhythm of the game.
The game time passed quickly in Xiangbei’s positional battle.
The entire Ryonan team was like ants on a hot pan, anxious but helpless.
Paying for free throws by committing fouls will only further widen the score between the two teams.
When they fought against Shohoku, they were caught off guard by the quick attack of Ryuhiko and Rukawa.
The game is over!
Coach Tiangang sighed and leaned weakly on the bench.
“This Kanagawa Prefecture is about to change.”
The final whistle sounded.
The final score of the game remained at 98:92.
Xiangbei wins!
Chapter 52: The Rise of Xiangbei! (Old Version)
The friendly training match is over.
The audience at Ryonan were all amazed.
After the arrival of Ryuhiko and Rukawa Kaede, Xiangbei has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Just now, Xiangbei is already enough to stand on equal footing with Ryonan, one of the top four teams in the county.
This year’s Xiangbei is really different!
Ayako and others suddenly jumped up from the bench and raised their hands excitedly.
“We won! We won!”
Akagi walked off the court with some relief, his eyes sweeping over Ryuhiko and Rukawa.
“I finally got good teammates this year.”
Akagi stood there alone, looking at the clear and bright red score on the scoreboard. He felt that he would never forget it.
He hadn’t felt this kind of victory for a long time.
“Teammate hands shake!”
All the players from Ryonan and Shohoku walked onto the court one by one, lined up and shook hands.
“Thanks for your advice!”
The reporters around had an extremely sensitive sense of smell and stepped forward to capture this historic moment.
And this moment also became the beginning of the future legend of Xiangbei.
Sendoh was still that sunny and cheerful boy, he grinned.
“Well done! I hope you can perform as well as you do now in the county competition.”
Long Yan smiled and stretched out his right hand.
“You guys better try your best, don’t get eliminated in the first round of the county competition.”
Xiandao and Longyan were not affected by the outside world, and their hands were tightly clasped together.
But Yuzumi and others beside him had a dark look on their faces.
This guy Long Yan is really merciless when he speaks.
Rukawa and Sakuragi on the side cast resentful glances at the two of them.
“What a bunch of stinky ass guys!”
Akagi walked up to Yuzumi, with a smug look on his face, and patted Yuzumi’s shoulder heavily.
“You still have to keep working hard. I look forward to your performance in the county competition. Remember not to hold the team back.”
Yuzumi’s face turned dark and he shook off Akagi’s hand on his shoulder.
“Akagi, you finally have good teammates, but don’t think that this is all we have.”
“No matter how many times you try, you won’t be able to defeat me, Yuzumi.”
“What did you say? Akagi! Stop looking down on me. I won’t show mercy when the official competition starts.”
Akagi and Uozumi had a quarrel with each other, but judging from the reactions of the people around them, it was obvious that this was not the first time the two had quarreled with each other.
Coach Tiangang held Coach Anxi’s hands tightly and forced an ugly smile on his face.
“Coach Anxi, congratulations, you have met some great players. I look forward to seeing you again in the county tournament.”
Coach Anxi still had that smiling face as he answered with a laugh.
“Look forward to it.”
After Ryonan and Shohoku chatted for a while, Coach Anzai took the Shohoku players and set off back to Shohoku High School.
On the school bus, Akagi, who had been fighting for the entire game, closed his eyes tiredly.
“I can’t believe that we actually beat Ryonan, one of the top four teams in the county,” Kuwata’s voice broke the silence on the school bus.
“That’s normal. With this genius here, defeating Ryonan is just a piece of cake.”
Sakuragi patted Kuwata’s shoulder cockily.
“In the future, Xiangbei will dominate the country under the leadership of this genius!”
“You, do you really understand what it means to dominate the country?”
Akagi punched Sakuragi hard on the head.
“Also, don’t disturb Coach Anxi’s rest, you bastard!”
“It’s okay, Akagi-san.”
Coach Anxi was also in a good mood. He looked at the players on the bus with a smile.
“An idiot who was sent off for five fouls can actually make such big claims.”
Rukawa Kaede spoke softly with a Walkman on his ears.
“What did you say! Damn fox!”
“Don’t you dare say that again, you damn fox!”
Sakuragi was furious. The person he disliked the most was Rukawa Kaede. This guy Rukawa Kaede was even more arrogant than Ryuhiko!
“Shut up, both of you!”
Akagi punched Rukawa and Sakuragi hard on the head.
“Wow, gorilla, you’re really too harsh.”
Murasaki’s face changed, and he stared blankly at Akagi’s face which was becoming increasingly darker.
“It’s over, this is a forbidden language.”
Different from the noisy crowd, Long Yan sat quietly in the back seat of the school bus with his eyes closed.
In the second half of the game, when Ryonan used the double-team tactic many times, Long Yan’s physical energy consumption was also extremely huge.
Long Yan opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he clenched his fists.
“It seems that I need to strengthen my physical training.”
The Ryonan basketball team showed a hint of embarrassment on their faces as they looked at Shohoku and others who had already left in the car.
Xiandao looked at the school bus that was already going away, with a bitter smile on his face.
“That guy Long Yan is really a bastard.”
“What’s wrong, Sendoh?”
Yuzumi looked at Sendoh in confusion.
Xiandao raised his right hand, which was completely swollen.
“But speaking of it, that kid’s grip is really strong.”
“Xian Dao! Where did you go?”
Coach Tiangang’s roar was heard.
“Ah, Uozumi-senpai, I have to go first. If the coach asks you, just say you haven’t seen me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Sendoh had disappeared in front of Yuzumi.
Coach Tanaoka, panting, supported his knees and stood in front of Yuzumi.
“Xian Dao, this bastard, runs so fast!”
Chapter 53: Training Incident? Akagi Feels Spring is Coming! (Old Version)
Xiangbei Basketball Hall.
Coach Anzai looked at the lined-up Xiangbei players with satisfaction and waved to Akagi standing aside.
Akagi leaned close to Coach Anzai’s ear and nodded silently.
After Coach Anxi gave Akagi some instructions, he left the gym with a smile.
The rest of the team looked at Akagi at the same time, wondering what arrangements Coach Anzai had made.
After such a long period of calm, Akagi’s heart has finally calmed down.
“You all performed well in today’s practice match with Ryonan. As a reward, you don’t have to practice today.”
Kuwata and others suddenly felt that spring had arrived.
“Great, I can finally have a night’s rest.”
“I’m going to go back and have a good sleep tonight. I’m so sleepy.”
“Why don’t we go play some video games later, Kuwata?”
Sakuragi Hanamichi didn’t listen to Akagi’s speech at all. His mind was already wandering somewhere else. He was probably imagining how to tell Akagi Haruko about his performance today.
However, Ryuhiko and Rukawa Kaede appeared very calm, even a little surprised.
In the match against Ryonan, Long Yan clearly felt that his physical strength was very limited, and he might not even be able to last a single game.
In this state, it’s barely enough to face Ryonan now, but what if the opponent is stronger, such as Hainan? Then the physical consumption will be even greater.
And Rukawa Kaede thought of Sendoh.
Although Rukawa scored the highest score except for Ryuhiko in yesterday’s game, he still had many shortcomings when facing Sendoh.
He remembered how Sendoh attacked and defended with all his might when he first came on the court.
Whether in attack or defense, Sendoh is much more skilled than him.
If he wants to become the strongest high school student in Japan, he must be stronger than Sendoh! As for Long Yan, after the training match with Ryonan, he was also put in this group.
Long Yan and Rukawa Kaede changed into their training clothes and continued to train in the gym.
“Let’s go to the game hall tonight and play for a while. It’s my treat!”
“It’s settled. I want to play the same game as last time.”
“No problem, you can play as long as you want this time!”
Kuwata, Sasaoka and others came out of the locker room in groups of three or five, talking and laughing.
I thought there was no one in the gym, but I heard the sound of the ball bouncing again.
Kuwata and others looked at each other and pushed open the door of the stadium.
All I saw was Rukawa Kaede, who was sweating profusely, practicing shooting and breaking through.
On the other side, Long Yan was doing strength training with fitness equipment.
Kuwata and others suddenly felt ashamed.
People who are better and stronger than you may even work harder than you.
“Is the training that hard?”
“No wonder they are so strong!”
“Should we stay and train for a while longer?”
Kuwata turned to look at Sasaoka and Ishii and the others. Although the sentence was a question, he used an affirmative tone.
Sasaoka and others hesitated for a moment, then immediately returned to the locker room, changed back into training clothes, and prepared to continue training.
After changing into his team uniform, Akagi reminisced about the game with Ryonan in the locker room, then walked out of the locker room with a smile on his face.
Then, standing at the door and looking at the first-year students sweating profusely, I couldn’t help but feel gratified.
“As long as they can persevere, their dream may come true soon.”
Sakuragi stood next to Akagi and said embarrassedly.
“Can you teach me the technique of grabbing rebounds under the basket?”
During the game against Ryonan, Akagi was injured, causing Shohoku’s inside line to be ravaged by Yuzhu at will, which also made Sakuragi very unhappy.
“That damned monkey boss, I will make him know how powerful this genius is.”
Seeing that even Sakuragi, who usually hated training the most, took the initiative to ask for advice, Akagi felt even more satisfied.
Akagi felt very relieved to see everyone so enthusiastic, and he felt like the clouds had finally cleared and the moon was visible.
If this trend continues, Xiangbei will go a long way. Even if he leaves school, with Ryuhiko and Rukawa Kaede behind him, the future of Xiangbei High School will be guaranteed.
“Come on, Sakuragi, follow me, I’ll teach you!”
Akagi patted Sakuragi on the shoulder and walked towards another empty basket.
He wanted to teach Sakuragi all the skills he knew how to grab rebounds.
Murasaki wore glasses and smiled happily.
“That’s great. Xiangbei is getting better and better. Akagi, maybe we can really realize that dream this year!”
“What did you say? Mumu?”
Akagi turned his head and looked at Murasakibara in confusion.
“nothing.”
“Go practice your three-point shot, Mumu, or you won’t even be able to play in the national competition.”
“How is that possible! I will never allow this to happen!”
Murasaki shook his head and picked up a basketball.
He also has to continue working hard. As a third-year senior, this is his last year.
Every year before, I came with excitement but left with disappointment.
It would be very difficult for Xiangbei to cross the threshold of the top 12 in the county relying only on Akagi.
Every time he saw Akagi’s disappointed expression, he hated himself for not being stronger, stronger!
And this year is also the year with the most opportunities.
At this moment, Long Yan, who was training alone, suddenly stopped.
The system’s voice sounded in my mind.
[It is detected that the host has completed a game and won. 】
[Reward: Increase physical strength by 10 points, bounce value by 5 points, speed value by 5 points, strength value by 5 points. ]Looking at the reward that suddenly appeared in his mind, Long Yan was stunned.
“Is this actually possible?”
Long Yan picked up the dumbbells in his hand and began to train more diligently.
“Good fellow!”
Kuwata and others on the side were stunned.
Long Yan’s training intensity is too high.
This is too much effort.
Chapter 54: Senior Mitsui, have you had enough of the trouble? (Old version)
Time passed quickly and soon it was May.
The friendly match between Ryonan and Shohoku was also quickly reported by reporters.
Rukawa Kaede, the honor of junior high school MVP, proved his value, and he put on an unbeatable performance in the match against Ryonan.
But the one who attracted the most attention was Long Yan.
In just a few days, Ryuhiko’s reputation as a super rookie spread throughout Kanagawa Prefecture.
This day.
The Xiangbei basketball team’s training continues as usual, and Miyagi also returned to the team today.
It seemed like an ordinary afternoon.
Everyone looked at Miyagi, who had just returned to the team, in confusion.
“Where were you during the match with Ryonan?”
Miyagi’s face froze, he avoided the question and made up an excuse to get away with it.
Seeing that Gongcheng seemed to have something to hide, no one made things difficult for him.
Suddenly, a loud noise broke the quiet afternoon.
The door of the basketball hall was kicked open by a long-haired man.
Mitsui Hisashi walked into the basketball hall with a group of ruffian-like men.
He looked at the Xiangbei players defiantly, with three or four teeth missing from his open mouth.
“How about playing basketball and taking us with you?”
The sudden appearance of this group of thugs interrupted everyone’s conversation.
Kuwata and the others, who were a freshman, looked at each other in bewilderment. The people in front of them seemed to be the group of gangsters De Nan in the school.
Long Yan frowned, as he expected.
Miyagi missed the match against Ryonan because of Mitsui and others.
“Sorry, you can’t wear shoes here.”
Vice-captain Murasakibara walked out of the crowd, and when he saw Mitsui, his eyes trembled a little.
Seeing that Murasaki was about to stand up for the basketball team, Miyagi hurriedly stopped Murasaki and turned to look at Mitsui with a pleading look on his face.
“Mitsui, I really can’t stay in the hospital anymore.”
Seeing Miyagi begging, Mitsui felt proud.
“Why, aren’t you a good fighter? Keep going!”
After saying that, Mitsui raised his foot and kicked Miyagi hard in the abdomen.
“Hmm!”
Miyagi hugged his abdomen in pain and curled up on the ground.
“Hey, you hit someone!”
Sakuragi was furious. He had been on the basketball team for such a long time. Besides, Miyagi had the same problem as him. Both of them were abandoned by women. He and Miyagi also had a certain degree of mutual sympathy.
Sakuragi swung his fist, directly at Mitsui’s face.
However, Miyagi, who was originally covering his stomach, ignored the pain and reached out to grab Sakuragi’s fist.
Miyagi gasped and said with a pained look on his face.
“Don’t fight, or the basketball team will be disbanded.”
After hearing what Miyagi said, Kuwata and the others stood there in a daze, looking stunned.
“What? Disband the team?”
Kakuta, a senior student nearby, hurriedly explained.
“This is the rule. If a member of a basketball team is found to be involved in a fight, the entire team will be disbanded.”
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
There was no way they were going to disband the team, they had been preparing for the county competition for so long.
If the team is disbanded, all their efforts will be wasted.
But Mitsui Hisashi and others are coming at him with such force that it might be difficult to resolve the situation peacefully.
Seeing everyone’s hesitant expressions, Mitsui Shou became even more unscrupulous.
He was extremely arrogant and punched and kicked Miyagi with no intention of stopping.
“Miyagi, you don’t want the basketball team to disband because of you, do you?”
Miyagi held his head and curled up on the ground. His eyes were red, but he didn’t dare to fight back.
He cannot cause the basketball team to be disbanded because of his own reasons.
Sakuragi Hanamichi on the side was already furious. He clenched his fists and wanted to rush up and give Mitsui Hisashi a hard punch.
Murasakibara held Sakuragi’s arm tightly.
“Don’t be impulsive! Sakuragi!”
Just when everyone was still hesitating, a basketball suddenly hit Mitsui Hisashi in the face.
“Oh shit!”
Mitsui Shou covered his nose, but the blood still flowed out from between his fingers.
Mitsui Shou was furious and shouted at the two thugs behind him.
“You are the rookie king Rukawa Kaede, right? You are so arrogant.”
“You dare to fight back? Long, De Nan, the two of you go and kill him.”
After receiving a signal from Mitsui Shou, Long and De Nan walked towards Rukawa Kaede with a smirk on their faces and rubbed their hands together.
Rukawa didn’t hesitate at all and punched Long in the face with a heavy punch.
“This little bastard!”
The dragon spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm with a few teeth mixed in it.
The punch from Rukawa just now knocked out all his teeth. He didn’t expect Rukawa to be so strong.
Seeing that Rukawa Kaede had taken action, Sakuragi Hanamichi immediately rushed towards Mitsui Hisashi.
“You bastard! How dare you come to the basketball team to fight!”
As the scene became more and more chaotic, Long Yan grabbed Kakuta’s shoulder.
“Senior, go call Coach Anxi and Captain Akagi over.”
“You can’t help much here.”
Kakuda looked at the chaotic situation and realized that he could not help.
“Then you guys be careful, I’m going to find Senior Akagi now.”
He nodded immediately and took advantage of the chaos to run out through the small door nearby.
Mitsui was furious after being beaten up by Sakuragi, and he casually touched a mop.
“Damn it! Do you all want to be disbanded?”
Mitsui directly slammed the mop head in his hand towards Miyagi on the ground!
Seeing that Miyagi was about to be seriously injured, Long Yan stood up at the critical moment.
Long Yan tightly grasped Mitsui Shou’s hand, his eyes gleaming with ferocity, and spoke in a cold tone.
“Mitsui-senpai, that’s enough.”
Chapter 55: Coach! I want to play basketball! (Old version)
Mitsui stared at Long Yan’s face with a provocative look and teased.
“You must be the super newcomer who has become very famous recently.”
Then he kicked Miyagi hard in the abdomen again.
“If you don’t want to disband, just get out of the way. This matter has nothing to do with you.”
Long Yan frowned, grabbed Mitsui’s hand holding the mop tightly, and sneered.
“I think you should look back.”
Mitsui was stunned for a moment and turned to look behind him.
Sakuragi and Rukawa had already knocked De Nan, Long and others to the ground.
Even Tienan, who had just shot Sakuragi Hanamichi in the head, was curled up on the ground.
Mitsui’s pupils shrank suddenly. Was this true? Then he gritted his teeth in hatred, with an ugly look on his face.
“Not enough to accomplish anything, but more than enough to cause trouble!”
After saying that, Mitsui punched Long Yan heavily on the chest. The latter endured the pain and pushed Mitsui to the ground, then rode directly on Mitsui.
Then Long Yan punched Mitsui hard in the face with his fists.
In a panic, Mitsui could only cover his face with his arms.
Although Long Yan is not tall, his physical fitness is definitely better than Mitsui, whose body is hollowed out by cigarettes and alcohol.
It is not difficult for Long Yan to deal with Mitsui Shou.
Seeing the three people fighting, Mu Mu was stunned for a moment. How could even the usually gentle Long Yan start a fight? Then he hurriedly shouted to dissuade them.
“Don’t do it! Don’t!”
“These bastards deserve a beating!”
Long Yan didn’t even turn his head and continued to beat Mitsui Shou under him.
“Damn it, you dare to come to the basketball team to cause trouble? Ah!”
Miyagi, who was lying on the ground, held his belly and walked to Long Yan’s side and grabbed Long Yan’s hands.
“Don’t fight anymore, Long Yan, the basketball team will be disbanded because of this.”
“Don’t think about it, Gongcheng. It’s useless for you to just tolerate them. These bastards will only get worse!”
As he spoke, Ryuhiko broke free from Miyagi’s hands and prepared to punch Mitsui hard in the face.
“You hit him, he hit you, both are considered violent moments, and it has already happened in the basketball gym, it will be discovered sooner or later!”
At the moment when Long Yan was talking to Mitsui, Mitsui suddenly jumped up and punched Long Yan hard on the nose!
There were stars in Long Yan’s eyes, his mind went blank for a moment, and his body leaned back by inertia.
“Damn it! Bastard!”
Mitsui immediately stood up from the ground. His originally rosy face was now blue and purple. He picked up the mop from his side again and walked towards Long Yan who was lying on the ground.
Seeing that Ryuhiko was in danger, Ayako immediately walked up to Mitsui, opened her arms, and stopped Mitsui.
And yelled at Mitsui loudly.
“Mitsui-senpai, you guys are going too far!”
Mitsui didn’t even look at Ayako, but slapped her hard in the face.
Ayako felt a little tinnitus and staggered to the ground. Akagi Haruko’s pretty face turned pale. She quickly stepped forward and helped her up.
Seeing Ayako being knocked to the ground by Mitsui, the originally calm Miyagi could no longer remain calm.
There was a flame of anger in his eyes, almost swallowing Mitsui!
On the other side, Long Yan also stood up and looked at Ayako who was covering her left face with tears.
He was also very angry. He didn’t expect Mitsui to really take action.
“Damn it, you dare to hit her!”
Ryuhiko and Miyagi rushed towards Mitsui at the same time.
“Sakuragi! We’re here!”
At the same time, four members of the Sakuragi Army climbed in through the glass window outside the basketball hall, stood in the audience seats, made a handsome move and shouted loudly.
They just heard that there was a violent incident in the basketball hall. Although they were not worried about Sakuragi’s safety, they thought that Sakuragi Hanamichi would definitely take action due to his hot temper. As a member of the Sakuragi Army, they naturally ran here as soon as possible.
Seeing the basketball hall in a mess, Sakuragi had bruises on his face and shoulders.
The four members of the Sakuragi Army didn’t think at all. Under the leadership of Yohei, they rushed towards Long, Tokuo and others.
The door of the basketball hall was tightly closed, and people outside had no idea what kind of fierce fight was going on inside.
I don’t know how long it took, but Mitsui’s face was covered in blood and he lay on the ground powerlessly.
Looking at Mitsui lying on the ground, Long Yan wiped the blood from his nose.
“Mitsui-senpai, what’s the point of you letting yourself fall like this? Don’t you know what’s in your heart?”
Mitsui lay on the ground, laughing loudly, and it was unclear whether he was laughing at himself or at the people on the basketball team.
Then he climbed up with difficulty, staring at Long Yan fiercely.
“Is it interesting? This is my freedom, I am willing to do it! I came here today to disband your basketball team!”
There was a sudden violent knock on the door.
The physical education teacher’s voice came from outside the door!
“You guys from the basketball team, what are you doing in there?”
Yasuda and others stood there in a daze, panicking.
“If we’re caught fighting, we’re screwed.”
Murasakibara stood there in a daze, then slowly walked towards Mitsui, with tears in his eyes. He grabbed Mitsui’s collar tightly and scolded Mitsui loudly.
“Weren’t you a member of the basketball team before? Didn’t you say we were the best in the country?”
“That has absolutely nothing to do with me!”
“What’s irrelevant!”
Murasakibara glared at Mitsui’s face, his eyes filled with disappointment, frustration, and more anger.
“Why, why did the MVP of junior high school become like this? Where did the positive and invincible Mitsui go? What happened to you?”
“You know what? After you quit the basketball team, I had given up. It was a foolish dream to rely on me and Akagi to fulfill our dream. But later, with the arrival of Ryuhiko and Rukawa Kaede, I once again saw the hope of dominating the country. But now, you appear again! You are the culprit who deprived me of my dream. How many times do you have to deprive me of my dream before you are happy!!!”
Murasakibara’s words struck deep into Mitsui’s soul, and the latter’s body trembled involuntarily. It was obvious that Murasakibara had hit a sore spot.
“Say something!”
“Say something!!”
Murasaki grabbed Mitsui by the collar and yelled at him.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Murasaki and the other man.
“I don’t give a shit about your dream!”
Mitsui slapped Murasaki’s hand away and slapped Murasaki’s face hard.
“Brother Four Eyes! Damn you, you’re a masculine androgynous guy.”
When Sakuragi Hanamichi saw Murasakibara being beaten, he rolled up his sleeves and strode towards Mitsui.
“Sakuragi, don’t come over here.”
When Murasakibara saw Sakuragi Hanamichi getting angry again, he spoke out to stop him.
Then he looked at the angry Mitsui.
“If this is enough to vent your anger, have you vented enough now?”
Mitsui’s hands were shaking and he said nothing.
The door of the basketball hall suddenly opened and Akagi walked into the basketball hall.
Ignoring the shouts of the physical education teacher outside, he closed the door again.
“Akagi, what are you doing?”
When the physical education teacher saw Akagi close the door again, he questioned him loudly.
“We are doing physical training now, I hope the teacher will understand.”
Akagi made up an excuse.
Looking at the messy scene and then at Denan and his group, his face was obviously angry, and he spoke while suppressing his anger.
“Take off your shoes.”
Akagi then walked towards Mitsui step by step.
Seeing Akagi coming, Kuwata and others breathed a sigh of relief, but De Nan and others, looking at the tall and strong Akagi, couldn’t help but become afraid. They quickly took off their shoes, held them all in their hands, and showed ugly smiles on their faces.
Akagi just came in front of Mitsui.
He slapped Mitsui in the face casually, and Mitsui fell to the ground immediately.
“Mitsui, what are you doing? Have you had enough of the trouble?”
Akagi stared angrily at Mitsui whose face was covered in blood, and shouted angrily with a disappointed tone.
“Akagi, this is none of your business. Don’t be so noble.”
Mitsui avoided looking directly into Akagi’s eyes.
“Open the door, it’s me, Anzai Yoshimitsu.”
Coach Anxi’s voice was heard outside the door.
When Long Yan heard Coach Anxi’s voice, he immediately felt relieved.
“It seems like the farce should end now.”
Hearing Coach Anzai’s voice, Mitsui’s originally angry heart seemed to be hit by something in an instant, and his heart beat wildly as if it was about to jump out.
He muttered to himself in astonishment.
“An, Coach Anxi…”
Scenes of Coach Anxi’s kindness in recognizing my talent emerged in my mind.
Kuwata came to his senses and quickly opened the door.
Coach Anxi walked in slowly. Seeing the messy basketball hall and Mitsui’s face covered in blood, his usually calm heart was slightly touched.
“Mitsui, you’ve gone too far.”
His tone became slightly harsher, completely lacking his usual gentleness, and instead, he could hear a strong sense of disappointment in it.
Mitsui looked at Coach Anzai who came to him, and his eyes were filled with tears in an instant.
I was at a loss for words for a moment.
Then in full view of everyone.
She knelt down heavily in front of Coach Anxi and asked with tears and a respectful tone.
“Coach Anxi, I, I want to play basketball!”
Chapter 56: Mitsui officially returns to the team! (Old version)
After the fight, Yohei and De Nan took the blame for the basketball team, thus avoiding the team being disbanded.
Thanks to Coach Anxi’s mediation, the matter was resolved perfectly.
Following the Mitsui incident, the basketball team returned to its former peace.
Another two or three days passed.
“Sangtian, you guys! Keep running, don’t be lazy!”
“Tsunoda, your lateral movement speed is too slow, speed up!”
“Sakuragi! Continue with the basic training! Your basics are too poor!”
Akagi led the basketball team to train in the basketball hall and yelled at everyone.
During the training, the door of the basketball hall was suddenly opened.
A sunny man with short hair and a Band-Aid on his face walked in from outside.
When I looked closely, it turned out to be Mitsui Hisashi.
Mitsui, with short hair, opened the door and saw Coach Anzai sitting on a chair. He bowed to Coach Anzai with an apologetic look on his face.
“Coach, I’m sorry, I’m back.”
Coach Anzai looked at Mitsui with a smile.
“Are you here? Then let’s start training.”
Ayako, who was standing next to Coach Anzai, let bygones be bygones and greeted Mitsui warmly.
“Welcome back, Senior Mitsui!”
Kuwata and other first-year students were stunned.
“Is this Mitsui-senpai? The change is too great.”
“Is this the androgynous guy?”
Sakuragi was a little confused. This guy was completely different from the long-haired guy before.
Akagi and Murasakibara looked relieved.
Mitsui returned to the team again, and Xiangbei took another big step on the road to dominating the country!
Murasakibara held Mitsui’s hand tightly, his eyes somewhat excited.
“Welcome back!”
“I’m back, Mumu.”
Rukawa looked at Mitsui with curiosity.
“What kind of ability did the junior high school MVP have three years ago?”
“Mitsui-senpai, short hair really suits you better.”
When Long Yan saw Mitsui with short hair, he said with emotion that this was the Mitsui Shou in his memory.
“Any hairstyle suits me! Brat!”
Long Yan grinned and began to check Mitsui’s attributes.
[Scanned character: Mitsui Shou]【Height: 184 cm】
【Weight: 70 kg】
【Physical Strength: C+】
[Speed: B][Strength: B-]Long Yan looked at Mitsui in surprise.
After a two-year gap, the speed of deterioration is quite fast. His physical strength is not as good as before. I don’t know how his real strength is now.
Miyagi Ryouta, who also had a Band-Aid on his face, took the initiative to hold Mitsui’s hand.
“I did something wrong before. I apologize to you, Mitsui-senpai.”
“No, no, no, it’s mainly my fault. Everything that happened before was my fault!”
At this moment, Mitsui and Miyagi Ryouta officially shook hands and made peace.
Mitsui let go of Miyagi’s hand and looked at everyone in Shohoku with an apologetic look on his face.
“Everyone, I’m so sorry about what happened before!”
Mitsui apologized to everyone.
Because of his fight, the Xiangbei basketball team was almost disbanded. If it weren’t for Coach Anxi’s mediation, the result would be self-evident.
“It’s okay, Mitsui, come over to training!”
Akagi waved his hand nonchalantly and asked Mitsui to train together.
“I don’t know how much strength you still have now. Do you still remember the dream we had when we first came to the Xiangbei basketball team?”
Akagi said with some nostalgia.
“Of course, Akagi, I came back just for this dream.”
Mitsui held Akagi’s hand tightly. It was not until this moment that the two of them truly understood each other.
Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was standing by, looked very proud. He walked up to Mitsui with a basketball in his arms, ready to show off his strength.
“Neither male nor female… Uh, no, Xiao San, do you want to have a one-on-one fight with a genius like me? I’ll let you see how powerful I am.”
Akagi and others frowned. What was this idiot Sakuragi Hanamichi trying to do?
Mitsui looked at the basketball in Sakuragi Hanamichi’s hand and said impatiently.
“It’s just right. I haven’t played basketball for a long time. Come on, Sakuragi.”
He took the basketball from Sakuragi’s hand, nodded, and accepted Sakuragi’s challenge without fear.
As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.
The result was not surprising.
Mitsui made ten shots at a very fast speed, shooting from inside and outside.
In front of Mitsui, Sakuragi seemed like a child who had just learned to walk.
Mitsui defeated Sakuragi ten to zero.
Coach Anxi pushed his glasses with satisfaction, his eyes shining.
“It’s exactly the same as before. What a standard and elegant shooting posture.”
Mitsui mocked Sakuragi mercilessly.
“That’s it. I wish I was half as good at fighting as you are.”
“Ah! Damn mistress! She’s even more powerful than this genius Sakuragi!”
The onlookers burst into laughter.
When Murasakibara saw Sakuragi Hanamichi at a loss, he hurried to comfort him.
“Sakuragi, don’t take it too seriously. After all, Mitsui was the MVP of his former junior high school. Practice your basics well. I believe you will shine in the county tournament.”
Sakuragi Hanamichi felt better after hearing what Murasakibara said.
“Glasses, you are still the best.”
Kuwata and others widened their eyes and sighed in their hearts.
“Is this what Mitsui-senpai is capable of? He’s really amazing.”
Although Sakuragi Hanamichi is a beginner, his physical fitness is there. If they were in his place, they would definitely not dare to guarantee that they could beat the former.
Now the Xiangbei team has Akagi and Sakuragi as the inside pillars, Ryuhiko and Mitsui provide stable three-point firepower on the outside, and there are breakthrough players like Rukawa and Miyagi in the mid-range.
This Xiangbei team is simply the most perfect combination.
Akagi and Murasakibara looked at each other, their eyes full of emotion.
Mitsui’s skills are still as good as ever.
Coach Anxi nodded with satisfaction.
Although it is not as good as before, recovery is not impossible as long as you keep practicing for a period of time.
Rukawa Kaede frowned, looked at Mitsui Shou with cold eyes, and muttered softly.
“It looks like there’s one more opponent.”
Long Yan was a little surprised.
Mitsui still has the skills, but his physical strength is not as good as before, but it doesn’t matter.
There is no other reason, Xiangbei has the super rookie Long Yan.
Chapter 57: Schedule Announced! Final Preparations! (Old Version)
Time flies like an arrow.
Before we knew it, it was May 15th.
Shohoku High School, inside the basketball hall.
Ayako walked into the basketball hall happily, holding the county competition schedule in her hand.
“Akagi-senpai!”
“The competition groups have been decided. This is the schedule for our county competition.”
“Come over and take a look together. Let’s study the opponents for the county competition together.”
Akagi nodded, looked at everyone who was training, and shouted at the top of his voice.
“gather!”
Ayako placed the watch on the table, and everyone looked at the object of the competition seriously.
“It seems that our grouping this time is not that good.”
“This time we must make it out of the district competition and qualify for the national competition!”
A few senior students named Shiozaki were talking to each other.
“And Ryonan.”
Sakuragi Hanamichi stared at Ryonan’s name angrily.
“We must defeat that fellow Sendoh this time. Led by this genius Sakuragi Hanamichi, we will defeat Ryonan!”
“Just you? Idiot.”
Rukawa Kaede complained disdainfully.
“You damn fox, do you want to fight?”
Akagi punched Sakuragi on the head.
“Shut up, idiot!”
Murasakibara hurried to comfort Sakuragi.
“If you want to beat Ryonan, you have to beat all the teams in this group.”
Kuwata was a little confused.
“How can I be qualified to compete?”
“Top two in the district.”
Ayako pointed at the two teams on the schedule and continued to explain.
“Hainan Affiliated High School has participated in the high school league for 16 consecutive years. It is a well-known national team. Last year’s second place was Xiangyang.”
When everyone heard Ayako mention Kainan and Shoyo, except Ryuhiko and Rukawa, their expressions became solemn.
Shoyo is in the same group as Shohoku and will be their opponent in the final four matches.
Kuwata and his companions couldn’t help but start to get nervous.
“Will we meet Shoyo before the semi-finals?”
“Shoyo and Kainan are the two strongest teams in Kanagawa Prefecture.”
“Isn’t even Lingnan a match for them?”
Sakuragi asked Kuwata curiously.
“Last year, Ryonan lost to Shoyo and Kainan, ranked third in the region, and failed to qualify for the national competition.”
Yasuda patiently explained to Sakuragi.
“And Shoyo has always been a super strong team in Kanagawa Prefecture, and their captain is Kanagawa’s super point guard and coach Fujima Kenji…”
When the first-year students including Kuwata heard what Yasuda said, they started to get nervous. He was truly an incredible person.
Seeing Sang Tian and the others nervous, Long Yan smiled nonchalantly and said:
“Shohoku is aiming to dominate the country. Do we only hope to win the semi-finals? Since our opponent is Shoyo, we just need to win the game. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
Long Yan winked at Akagi.
Akagi understood what he meant and immediately encouraged everyone.
“Our goal!”
“But we can dominate the whole country! Defeat Shoyo, defeat Kainan!”
The nervous hearts of Kuwata and others finally relaxed a lot.
Ayako looked at Long Yan with a smile on her face. She really has a way of encouraging people.
“Our opponent in the first round is Miuradai.”
Then Ayako pointed to Shohoku’s first round opponent.
“They are also quite strong. They won all the games last year until they met Hainan and lost the game.”
Ayako looked at everyone on the basketball team seriously and gave a reminder.
“I’m afraid they will be even stronger than last year.”
Kuwata and the others began to get nervous again.
“Is this the first round in which we meet such a strong opponent?”
“I’ve heard of Miuradai. It seems like they made it to the semifinals last year, but then they met Kainan.”
“Isn’t that the top eight team in the county? Why did we meet them in the first round?”
Akagi punched each of them, and Kuwata and the others all had big bumps on their heads.
“What a coward! Our goal is to dominate the country.”
“In the last few days, continue to train and improve your strength.”
“Adjust your condition during the game and don’t worry too much. I will take care of everything.”
Long Yan patted his chest.
“You’re so arrogant! Long Yan.”
Mitsui stood next to Akagi.
“Although Miuratai is quite strong, our goal is to dominate the whole country, so cheer up!”
“Dominate the country!”
Coach Anxi looked at the high-spirited crowd with satisfaction, a gleam of light flashed in his glasses, and he left the gym with a smile.
“Okay, we’ll focus on targeted training these few days. Sakuragi will focus on training his skills under the basket. As for the rest of you, let’s practice together and prepare for the team competition in a few days.”
“Ah, gorilla, I want to practice with you too!”
“Shut up!”
Akagi punched Sakuragi hard on the head again.
“Damn it, gorilla!”
Sakuragi covered his head and watched everyone practice unwillingly, while he could only hold the basketball and continue to practice his skills under the basket.
Long Yan seemed to be thinking about something and looked back at Sakuragi who was training.
“Long Yan, do you want to practice your skills under the basket with Sakuragi?”
Mitsui looked at Long Yan teasingly.
Long Yan said nothing, but silently took the pass from Kuwata and made an accurate three-pointer.
Does Coach Anzai want to use Sakuragi as a surprise player?
Long Yan thought secretly in his heart.
Time passed by minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye it was dark.
But the basketball hall was still bustling with activity, and the sounds of muscle confrontation could be heard constantly.
Everyone was holding back their anger and wanted to vent it out at the county competition.
In the next few days, everyone continued to train as usual…
Get ready for the high school league.
Chapter 58: The County Tournament Officially Begins! First Battle at Miuradai! (Old Version)
It was May 19th, and the county competition finally began.
Long Yan stood at the entrance of the stadium and breathed a sigh of relief.
During this period, Long Yan trained very hard, doing weight training every two to three days.
He trained almost every day until he was exhausted before resting.
At the same time, Long Yan also received a new task during training.
Use the back-to-the-basket technique to compete with Mitsui Shou and defeat Mitsui, gaining a new skill, the fadeaway jump shot, which reduces the chance of being blocked to one level and has a hit rate of up to 90%.
Since receiving this task, Long Yan has included back-to-the-basket techniques in his arsenal.
One day, Mitsui Shou suddenly discovered that Long Yan really liked to fight him one-on-one, like an indestructible cockroach.
The key point is that Long Yan never breaks through, and it is obvious that he is completely unable to stop Long Yan’s breakthrough.
But Long Yan never broke through, and every time he relied on his immature back-to-back technique to challenge himself.
At the beginning, Long Yan lost more than he won.
But later on, Long Yan’s shooting became more and more accurate, and more and more difficult to interfere with, until finally, the battle ended with him being completely crushed.
The exhausted Mitsui Shou could only curse Long Yan in his heart. He was indeed a super rookie. His growth rate was jaw-dropping.
“During this period of time, I don’t know how much I have improved.”
Sitting in the corner, Long Yan began to check his attributes.
【Height: 182 cm】
[Speed: B+][Strength: B][Bounce: B+][Master skills: advanced dribbling skills, full-court shooting skills, super start, quick recovery, phantom interception, accurate pass, ‘C’ shaped dribbling, mid-air dunk, perfect shooting posture, penetrating eyes, fadeaway jump shot. ]Long Yan nodded with relief.
“It turns out that hard work pays off. Miraculously, my height has grown by 2 centimeters. Not bad.”
Long Yan leaned back in the school bus seat, closed his eyes and rested, while looking forward to the start of the competition.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but Long Yan, who had fallen asleep, was awakened by Akagi’s voice.
“Get out of the car!”
Akagi’s shout rang out in the carriage.
Coach Anxi walked in front of Xiangbei and headed towards the county competition stadium.
The audience seats were already full before the game even started.
The entire Ryonan team came to the audience stands for the Shohoku game.
Uozumi, Sendoh, Yuyue, and Ikegami walked in front of the Ryonan players.
It immediately attracted the attention of countless audiences.
“It’s Sendoh from Ryonan. He’s really handsome.”
“Uozumi is still more domineering. He really deserves to be one of the four great centers in Kanagawa.”
“Is Ryonan here to watch the game? Did you hear that Xiangbei seems to have won the training match against Ryonan by eight points?”
Yueyue was very upset. Why was no one discussing him?
“Let’s find a place to sit down first. We are here to watch the Xiangbei game.”
Sendoh gave a hearty smile and reminded everyone in Lingnan.
Yueyue looked down at Miuradai on the sidelines and couldn’t help but sigh.
He felt sorry for Miuradai, as they met such a strong opponent as Shohoku in the first round of the game. If it were before, Shohoku would not be enough for Miuradai, but now it is completely different. It seems that they are bound to lose.
Xiandao nodded in agreement.
“Although Miuradai is not weak, it is probably still unlikely to beat this year’s Shohoku.”
The game begins!
On the Shohoku side, Yasuda, Kigure, Shiozaki, Tsunoda and Akagi come on stage.
As for Long Yan and others, they were left sitting on the bench.
It’s not because of anything else, this is the consequence of Coach Anxi punishing them for fighting.
Yueyue looked at the Xiangbei players on the field with some surprise.
“Why are all the players on the field subbed? Long Yan is left on the bench?”
“Maybe he doesn’t want to reveal his strength.”
Yan Yi added on the side and sighed regretfully.
“It seems that I can’t observe Long Yan’s characteristics carefully.”
Yuzumi frowned and sighed.
I don’t know what tactics Coach Anxi has arranged.
Sendoh remained silent and watched the game between Shohoku and Miuradai attentively.
In the audience, when they saw the Xiangbei players coming on the court, they started discussing the situation in confusion.
“Why is Akagi the only one playing for Shohoku?”
“Are you underestimating Miuradai? There’s only Akagi.”
“Where are the super rookies Ryuhiko and Rukawa Kaede? Aren’t they going to play?”
The players of Miuradai slowly walked onto the court.
Seeing that Akagi was the only one leading the team, the players of Miuradai showed mocking expressions.
“How can we beat Ryonan like this? After all, Ryonan is just a second-rate team!”
“Hahaha, yeah, get ready for Xiangbei to be eliminated in the first round.”
“We have to lead Xiangbei by 100 points in the first half.”
I heard the Miuratai players talking nonsense.
Whether it was Shohoku on the court or Ryonan off the court, everyone had a gloomy face.
Akagi looked unhappy, he really was looked down upon.
Uozumi glared at the Miuradai players with angry eyes.
“Stop talking nonsense, Miuradai!”
“You are just bullshitting. You, Miura Tai, can’t judge us at Ryonan!”
Then he loudly scolded Akagi on the field.
“Akagi, beat them up for me.”
Yueyue saw Yuzhu suddenly run away, attracting a lot of people’s attention. He couldn’t help feeling embarrassed and hurriedly grabbed Yuzhu.
“Uozhu-senpai, don’t be so angry, let’s see how Xiangbei performs.”
Sendoh on the side was unusually calm and was not angry at all because of Miuradai’s words.
Because he knew very well that Miuradai alone could not be a match for Ryonan.
“Players from both sides please come on the court!”
“Beep”
Following the sound of a whistle.
The competition officially begins!
Chapter 59: Will we fight again? (Old version)
Hearing the whistle for the start of the game, Yuzumi once again suddenly stood up from his seat and shouted loudly to Akagi on the field.
“Akagi, beat Miuradai hard!”
“Ah! Uozumi-senpai!”
“Uozumi-senpai, please calm down!”
The people around left their seats beside Yuzumi with some disgust.
Xiandao and his companions felt a little embarrassed and quickly grabbed Yuzhu.
“Still in the stands, Uozumi-senpai.”
Yuzumi looked around and saw many people avoiding his gaze in fear.
I have to say that Yuzumi’s appearance and figure make him look very ferocious.
However, the course of the game was completely different from what was expected.
It had been 5 minutes since the game whistle sounded, but the entire Xiangbei team was in a slump. Only Akagi was struggling to hold on and scored 4 points.
Miuradai was like a god in these five minutes, scoring 26 points at one point and leading by a wide margin.
The audience looked surprised and couldn’t help but complain as they watched Xiangbei fall behind by a large margin.
“No way!”
“Is this the strength of Xiangbei?”
“Why don’t you let the super rookie Long Yan play yet?”
“Miuradai is too strong. Even Shohoku could only get 4 points.”
Yuzumi stood up angrily and scolded Akagi.
“Akagi, what are you doing eating and fighting for?”
Yan Yi hurriedly grabbed the fish.
“Uozumi-senpai, everyone around us is looking at us.”
“Let them watch! Xiangbei played so badly, I just can’t stand it!”
Akagi on the field sighed helplessly.
If that group of brats hadn’t fought, how could Coach Anxi have put him in solitary confinement?
He seemed to have returned to the time two years ago, when he was alone and unable to support himself.
Every time the team was surrounded and blocked by the opponent, no one else on the team could score except him.
Miuradai’s captain Kengo Murasame was even more rude and mocked Akagi.
“I thought you guys were so strong after defeating Ryonan, is this all?”
The other Miuratai players also mocked and looked at the Shohoku players arrogantly.
Akagi looked at the Miuratai players with gritted teeth, but did not say anything in rebuttal.
The glaring score on the big screen proved his powerlessness.
Sakuragi Hanamichi stood up from the bench, furious and with a mad expression on his face.
He walked to Coach Anxi’s side and patted Coach Anxi’s chin with his hand.
“Dad, look how far behind we are. Let me, the genius, take the field. I will definitely teach the arrogant Miuradai a lesson!”
Seeing that Coach Anzai’s chin was about to split into three, Ayako hurriedly held down Sakuragi.
“Sakuragi, calm down. Coach Anzai must have his considerations.”
“But we are already so far behind, how can the gorilla beat Miuradai alone?”
“Don’t be impatient, Sakuragi-san!”
Ayako hit Sakuragi hard on the back of the head with the fan.
“And you have to be respectful to Coach Anxi!”
Coach Anxi still looked cheerful and didn’t show any worry at all.
The situation seemed to be completely under his control!
Looking at Coach Anxi’s calm performance, Long Yan wanted to say something but held back.
“Trust Coach Anxi!”
Long Yan and Rukawa Kaede looked at each other, and both understood what the other meant.
Ryuhiko and Rukawa could only continue to sit on the bench.
Another five minutes passed and the first half was already halfway through.
The score at this moment is even more glaring.
10:40
Xiangbei was trailing by a full 30 points and was playing a tough game with a score of a few points every five minutes.
In the stands, everyone frowned, very confused.
“What on earth is Xiangbei doing?!”
“Why don’t you send in the super rookie Long Yan?”
“Did Xiangbei never want to win from the beginning?”
“We’re already 30 points behind!”
Yuzumi also looked puzzled.
“What on earth is Xiangbei doing? Why don’t they let Ryuhiko and Rukawa play? With just these few useless guys like Miuradai, who can stop them?”
Is it possible that Xiangbei will be eliminated in the first round of the county competition?
On the contrary, Sendoh on the other side was very calm, and did not change at all despite the huge score difference.
He looked at the cheerful Coach Anxi thoughtfully and spoke in an inaudible voice.
“It seems that in the eyes of Coach Anzai, Miuradai is really very weak.”
In fact, Coach Anxi did not underestimate any team at all. He just did not allow some of their players to play as a punishment.
On the court, the entire Miuradai team was so excited that their tails were almost raised to the sky.
“Akagi, why don’t you surrender? We can make sure your defeat isn’t so embarrassing.”
“You guys are so unlucky this year. You met us in the first round. Hahahaha.”
“I feel like this match is even easier than the training match. It’s not difficult at all!”
Listening to Miuradai’s constant ridicule, not only Sakuragi couldn’t accept it, even Ryuhiko couldn’t help it.
“Coach! Let me get on the court and teach them a lesson.”
Long Yan volunteered, he really couldn’t bear it anymore!
Coach Anxi still had a calm expression on his face and asked the people in front of him softly.
“Will you fight again in the future?”
Hearing Coach Anxi’s words, everyone nodded frantically.
“No more, coach!”
“Not again, Coach!”
It seems that this class was not in vain.
The Xiangbei team requests a timeout!
Chapter 60: Xiangbei’s Strongest Lineup! (Old Version)
I heard Coach Anxi request a timeout.
In the audience, Yuzumi finally let go of his worry.
Although Xiangbei will definitely be his opponent in the national competition in the future.
But he still didn’t want Akagi to lose in the first round of the county tournament in his last high school basketball game.
“Are we finally going to play?”
Yan Yi excitedly took out a small notebook and pen from his arms.
“Watch carefully, watch carefully.”
Xiandao on the side also reminded Yanyi.
“Yanyi, watch Long Yan carefully in this match. He will be on the same level as Amu.”
“Okay, Senior Xiandao, I will definitely write down Long Yan’s fighting style!”
Yanyi nodded seriously.
At the same time, the audience around was also talking about it.
“Has Xiangbei finally lost his patience?”
“Is the super rookie Long Yan finally going to play?”
“I’m really looking forward to it.”
Long Yan simply did a few stretching exercises and took off his coat.
The handsome and sunny face is displayed unreservedly to every audience.
In stark contrast to Liu Chufeng’s coldness, Long Yan had a confident smile on his face, and his handsome face made him look like the big brother next door.
Many female viewers were delighted when they saw Long Yan’s face.
“So handsome, Xiangbei’s new No. 10 player!”
“Is this the super rookie Ryuhiko from Xiangbei?”
“He looks quite handsome, but I don’t know how strong he is.”
On the other side, Coach Miuradai looked very proud.
“Shohoku, is that all? If we hadn’t met Kainan last year, our Miuradai should have been one of the top four teams in Kanagawa Prefecture!”
“I don’t know how they managed to win against Ryonan.”
Murasame Kengo added.
The coach of Miuradai waved his hand nonchalantly.
“Well, even if they change a few players, it won’t be a big deal. Remember, we need to resolve this match as soon as possible. Our only opponent is Hainan!”
Miuradai did not adjust the lineup and it remained the starting lineup.
“What about me? Do I need to go on stage?”
Naito Tetsuya asked with a smirk on his face while looking at Akagi and others.
“It’s just a weak team. You are the key to our victory over Hainan. You don’t need to play.”
Hearing Tetsuya Naito’s question, Coach Miuradai waved his hand nonchalantly and went back.
Murasame Kengo couldn’t help laughing, his face full of sarcasm.
“It seems that a weak team is a weak team. Even their lucky win against Ryonan has been blown into a miracle.”
“That’s all exaggerated. Xiangbei is not a strong team at all!”
“It’s just Akagi’s team. If we can lock down Akagi, the game will be over!”
On the other side, the entire Xiangbei team looked at the arrogant Miuradai with gloomy faces.
Only Ayako, who understands them, would understand.
Although most of the players in Xiangbei are heartless problem children, they are more serious than anyone else in basketball games.
Their desire for victory is definitely not something that people like Miura Dai can imagine.
They are angry!
Although they are rivals, Ayako, Kuwata and others couldn’t help but pray for Miuradai.
“I hope you don’t lose too badly.”
The whistle sounded to end the timeout!
Under everyone’s watch, the five tigers of Xiangbei came on the court.
They are Akagi, Rukawa, Ryuhiko, Mitsui and Miyagi.
This is Xiangbei’s strongest lineup now!
The double turrets on the outside create space, mid-range singles ensure the ability to attack, while Akagi in the inside is responsible for the defense of the entire team.
In other words, Akagi is the defensive core of the entire Xiangbei team, and he is the last line of defense in the interior.
“It feels like Xiangbei’s momentum has changed all of a sudden.”
“Why do I feel that Xiangbei’s No. 14 is a little familiar, as if I have seen him somewhere before.”
“I felt the same way when you mentioned it. Number 14 looks so familiar.”
Yuzumi in the audience stood up again, waved his fists, and shouted loudly at the Xiangbei players.
“Shohoku, show your strongest strength and don’t let others look down on you!”
Xiangbei must not lose!
If Shohoku loses to Miuradai, what will others think of Ryonan who lost to Shohoku!
Yan Yi grabbed the notebook and pen with excitement.
“Long Yan, are you finally on the court again?!”
Sendoh couldn’t help but sit up straight and look at the five tigers of Xiangbei on the court seriously.
He was also very much looking forward to seeing how much Long Yan had grown after not seeing him for such a long time!
And at the same time.
A mature-looking man in a brown suit walked towards the audience.
When the students passing by saw this man, they would unconsciously bow their heads and greet him.
The man smiled and waved as a greeting.
Everyone in Lingnan suddenly felt some noise in their ears.
“What’s wrong, suddenly?”
Yueyue looked towards the place where the noise was the loudest in confusion, and suddenly stopped talking.
Yuzumi turned around and looked in the direction of the off-road vehicle, his face suddenly darkening.
“What’s wrong, Uozumi-senpai?”
Yan Yi’s eyes were still focused on the field, and he didn’t notice the arrival of the middle-aged man at all.
He was just a little confused as to why Senior Yuzumi, who was so excited just now, suddenly stopped talking.
“Maki Shinichi!”
A smile appeared on Sendoh’s lips as he whispered the man’s name softly.
The man in the brown suit is the captain of the King of Hainan and is also recognized as the strongest high school student in Kanagawa Prefecture.
Shinichi Maki!
Chapter 61: The perfect combination of Miyagi and Longyan! (Old version)
The game continues on the field!
The members of the Miuratai team squinted their glasses and looked at Long Yan and others with a sarcastic smile.
“Is this the super rookie mentioned in the report?”
“With a lead of 30 points, even if Hainan’s Maki Shinichi comes on the court, he won’t have any chance!”
“We at Miuradai are not a weak team like your Xiangbei team!”
“Hahaha!”
Hearing the ridicule from everyone at Miuratai.
The faces of the Xiangbei people changed slightly, and they looked at the Miuratai people with indifferent eyes.
Long Yan sneered and said, “Playing basketball doesn’t rely on words, but on strength.”
Although the words were small, they still fell into the ears of Miuratai captain Murasame Kengo.
The latter glanced at Long Yan with interest.
“Good boy, you are so arrogant. You will be in trouble later.”
Akagi stood out of bounds and passed the ball to Miyagi.
Miyagi dribbled the ball forward.
Because of the huge lead, Miuradai let down their guard and did not defend seriously at all.
No. 5 Kazuo Araki was defending Miyagi. Looking at Miyagi who was much shorter than him, he couldn’t help but sneer.
“It’s still a little kid. I thought it would be better if I changed someone.”
Miyagi’s expression did not change at all, and he continued to move forward with the ball.
“Little guy, let me try to break through!”
Kazuo Araki even deliberately exposed a flaw on the right side, opening up a path for a breakthrough.
Seeing this, the audience couldn’t help but start complaining.
“The people from Miuradai are too arrogant.”
“This is totally unkingly unworthy.”
While the audience was discussing.
Miyagi lowered his center of gravity and passed Araki Kazuo in just one step, leaving Araki Kazuo standing there in amazement with a dazed look on his face.
Kazuo Araki’s face changed and he felt a little bit unbelievable.
“Damn, how come it’s so fast?”
Turn around and chase.
Miyagi, who had passed Kazuo Araki in one step, did not forget to turn his head to look at Kazuo Araki and said lightly.
“You talk too much nonsense.”
Kazuo Araki couldn’t help but grit his teeth. What a hateful guy.
But he could only watch Miyagi’s figure getting farther and farther away.
Miyagi broke into the penalty area and passed the ball to Long Yan outside the three-point line with a tremor of his hand.
Verbally praised Miyagi’s pass.
Then he looked at Miyagi Kazunari who was defending him, grinned, and made a direct pull-up shot without even a fake move.
When Miyamoto Kazunari saw Long Yan directly pull up, he became furious. He thought that Long Yan was not taking him seriously at all and started scolding him.
“Little devil, stop looking down on others.”
He jumped with both feet and stretched out his right hand to block Long Yan’s shot.
But just when his arm was about to touch the basketball, Long Yan’s body was like a turret and he quickly threw the basketball out.
Forming a perfect parabola in the air.
The basketball went into the net!
After landing.
Long Yan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looked at Miyamoto Kazunari who had landed, and spoke in a very calm tone.
“That’s all you have? That’s really disappointing.”
He turned to look at Akagi and others and shouted loudly!
“Everyone, facing a mediocre team like Miuradai, we must at least lead by 100 points!”
Akagi also smiled knowingly and roared.
“Shohoku will win!”
In an instant, Xiangbei’s morale boosted.
When the audience heard Long Yan and Akagi’s roars, they immediately felt their blood boiling.
“That first-year student is really arrogant.”
“This year, Xiangbei is very strong in momentum!”
“But Miuradai isn’t a weak team. This is about to get interesting.”
Yueyue frowned as he looked at Long Yan, recalling the training match with Ryonan, where the latter relied on those ridiculously accurate three-pointers to narrow the gap between Xiangbei and the team. He could only sigh helplessly.
“Oh! This kid’s three-point shot is too accurate.”
“Are the three-point shots going to start raining? This will definitely help boost Shohoku’s morale.”
When Yuzumi heard Akagi’s inspiring roar, he smiled in sync.
If Miuradai doesn’t do something, the score will soon be tied.
After all, Long Yan’s three-pointer is too accurate, and it is indeed a killer weapon for chasing points.
A smile appeared on Sendoh’s face, and he turned to look at Maki Shinichi who was watching the battle quietly on the side.
“Beating Miuradai by 100 points, Long Yan is really brave to say that. I just don’t know what Amu thinks when he hears such words, hahahaha.”
Maki Shinichi naturally didn’t hear what Sendoh said.
Seeing Xiangbei score a goal so quickly, he was not too surprised, but rather curious about what Longyan said.
“At least a hundred points ahead? Xiangbei’s No. 10 kid seems to be quite arrogant. He is comparable to Qingtian. Let me see what kind of strength he has to be so arrogant.”
It was Miuradai’s turn to attack.
Kazuo Araki was not upset by the goal just now. He continued to move forward with the ball calmly, while extending a finger with his hand.
“Don’t be anxious, everyone. Let’s take this one goal first! Xiangbei? They will lose sooner or later.”
Murasame Kengo reminded loudly.
Miyagi appeared beside him like a phantom.
He seized the opportunity, slapped his hand and directly stole the ball from Kazuo Araki.
Then!
“Long Yan!”
Miyagi made a long pass and passed the ball directly to Long Yan who was ready.
Long Yan raised his sword and made another three-pointer!
“Shohoku’s teamwork is good.”
“That No. 7 from Xiangbei also played well.”
“And the three-point shot by Xiangbei No. 10 is a little too accurate. It seems that he is very confident every time he shoots.”
In the audience, Yanyi’s eyes were fixed on Miyagi’s back, and then he quickly flipped through the notes in his hand.
“That person! Why does he look so familiar?”
The next second, he took a deep breath and exclaimed.
“That’s Miyagi Ryouta? Miyagi Ryouta, oh my god, he’s back on the team too?”
Hearing Yan Yi’s voice, Yu Zhu and others turned their eyes to Miyagi.
This is not good news for them.
Miura Terrace rest area.
When the Miuradai coach saw that he had lost 6 points in just a few moments, he suddenly stood up and angrily scolded the Miuradai players.
“What the hell are you doing? Cheer up and lock down that first-year student!”
“If we lose to Xiangbei, you know the consequences.”
Kazuo Araki looked ugly. Both balls were thrown from him, and Long Yan’s accuracy was a bit too much.
Then he stared at Long Yan and Miyagi fiercely.
“Damn it, wait for me.”
Chapter 62: The score is tied! Mitsui’s identity is revealed! (Old version)
Miuradai, ball possession.
This time, Kazuo Araki was much more cautious.
He dribbled slowly across half court and stood at the top of the arc.
Miyagi directly chose to defend closely, pressing Araki and at the same time compressing Araki’s offensive space.
Faced with Miyagi’s pressure, Araki had no choice but to move left and right.
Although Miyagi is not tall enough, he has quick eyes and hands. If Kazuo Araki is not careful, he will face the risk of having the ball intercepted.
“What a difficult guy.”
Seeing that time was passing by, Kazuo Araki gritted his teeth and had no choice but to pass the ball.
He glanced at Kengo Murasame on the three-point line, then exerted force with his right hand and threw the basketball to the latter.
As soon as Kazuo Araki shot the ball, he felt something was wrong.
Long Yan appeared on the passing route at some point and intercepted the pass directly.
After stealing the ball, Long Yan did not stop but reminded Rukawa Kaede, then rushed towards the backcourt of Miuradai as fast as lightning.
“Damn it, that guy, when did he show up?”
After cursing angrily, Murasame Kengo hurried back to defend, but the distance between him and Ryuhiko was getting farther and farther.
“How come it’s so fast! I can’t keep up at all!”
The other members of Miuradai also quickly returned to defense, but they could only watch Long Yan’s figure getting farther and farther away.
Murasaki and others stood up off the court and cheered as they watched Ryuhiko steal the ball.
“Good shot! Fast break!”
I watched Long Yan run to the basket, but he didn’t stand up and dunk.
Instead, he threw the ball into the sky.
Rukawa took off from the spot and made a beautiful tomahawk slam dunk.
“This is a beautiful goal!”
Miyagi, Mitsui and Ryuhiko high-fived to celebrate.
Long Yan glanced indifferently at Murasame Kengo who was coming from behind.
When Murasame Kengo saw Ryuhiko’s provocative look, his face turned as pale as liver and looked extremely ugly.
The audience couldn’t help but sigh upon seeing this.
“Their chemistry is really good!”
“The No. 10 player of Xiangbei can not only score points himself, but also help his teammates score points. This overall view should not be underestimated.”
“Didn’t you guys pay attention to the score? It’s only been a short while and we’re already up eight points!”
Ayako, Kuwata and others cheered in unison.
“Great shot! That’s how I hit them in one go!”
Sakuragi Hana on the side stood up and said wildly.
“Long Yan, please give this genius a chance. You guys have taken all the limelight.”
Maki Shinichi leaned on the railing and watched Long Yan’s performance on the court. Even he couldn’t help but admire him.
“Whether it’s stealing the ball or catching an alley-oop pass, he grasps it very well, and his fast break is very fast! This freshman is really amazing!”
Originally, he just came here to observe Miuradai’s playing tactics, and these were considered unexpected gains.
In the Ryonan rest area, Yuzhu was delighted to see Miuradai being humiliated.
“Shohoku, that’s it, let’s show them how powerful we are.”
At this time, the game on the field is still going on.
Miuradai has the ball.
Kazuo Araki continued to move forward, with an unbearable embarrassment on his face.
Being repeatedly blocked by a dwarf whom he looked down upon, and also by Long Yan, a man with great insight, even he felt a little embarrassed.
Dribble to the three-point line.
When Kazuo Araki saw Miyagi coming to block him again, he simply passed the basketball directly to Akio Kawasaki in the inside.
“Do you really think we can just let you catch up to us so easily, Zhaoxiong?”
Akio Kawasaki took the ball, turned around and back-passed Akagi, found the right opportunity, and made a layup directly, and he couldn’t help but roar.
“Akagi, don’t underestimate Miuradai!”
As the center of Miuradai, he naturally has a sense of pride in his heart, even when facing Akagi, one of the four major centers.
Seeing this, Akagi ruthlessly blocked the ball and directly knocked the ball out of Kawasaki Akio’s hand.
“You want a layup? You’re a hundred years too early!”
Ayako stood on the sidelines and cheered as she watched Akagi’s signature block.
“There it is, Akagi-senpai’s signature block shot!”
Miyagi in the backcourt picked up the ball and immediately launched a quick counterattack.
Miyagi’s figure was as fast as lightning, and in just a few seconds he had run to Miuradai’s basket.
He then made a beautiful layup and scored easily, then looked at Ayako with a proud look on his face.
As if to say, Ah Cai, did you see my handsome figure?
After Ayako simply responded, her eyes once again focused on Long Yan.
When Kazuo Araki saw Miyagi score again, he gritted his teeth and snorted angrily.
“What a difficult fellow.”
The Miuradai players had dark lines on their faces, and looked at Miyagi who had already retreated with some helplessness.
Everyone in the audience couldn’t help but sigh.
“Whether it’s defense or offense, Xiangbei is at the level of a top team no matter how you look at it.”
“We’re already 10 points behind, and Miuradai doesn’t even have a player who can score.”
“I was completely suppressed in terms of momentum.”
As the game continues.
Five minutes passed quickly.
Long Yan broke through and passed the ball accurately into Mitsui’s hands.
Mitsui received the ball and faced the close defense of Miuradai’s Takatsuhiro and made a beautiful fadeaway jump shot. The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and then went into the net.
Accompanied by Xiangbei’s strong attack from inside and outside.
The scores of both sides are completely tied, and the current situation is completely one-sided.
In just five minutes, they hit a 30:4 offensive climax.
Seeing the score being tied, the audience’s eyes were all focused on Long Yan and others on the field, with a look of shock on their faces.
“Have Shohoku become so strong? It seems that their victory over Ryonan was not fake news.”
“The three-point shots of Xiangbei players are so accurate. Did you see that shooter just now? His three-point shooting posture was so beautiful.”
“Although Xiangbei’s No. 10 player himself scored few points, he was able to perfectly coordinate with his teammates to score and completely connected the entire team.”
Everyone was shocked by Xiangbei’s offensive and defensive capabilities. Is this still the bottom-ranked team that was eliminated in the first round?
Yuzumi’s eyes were fixed on Mitsui.
“Why does it feel familiar?”
Then he frowned, tapped his head with his fingers, and recalled Mitsui’s shooting posture over and over again. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he suddenly opened his eyes.
“Mitsui, it’s Mitsui! Has he returned to the team too?”
As soon as the words fell, the faces of everyone in Lingnan changed suddenly.
They looked at Miyagi and Mitsui in the field with serious expressions.
“Without Miyagi and Mitsui, we lost by ten points.”
“And now Long Yan is much better at shooting and running the team than in the previous practice games.”
This time, Ryonan felt even more sympathetic towards Miuradai.
Perhaps this is what the saying “You reap what you sow” means.
Seeing that the score was tied after just five minutes, Coach Miuradai looked grim. He stood up suddenly and made a timeout gesture to the referee.
“The game is suspended!”
Shinichi Maki, who was standing by, also recalled Mitsui Hisashi, the ace from his junior high school days, and couldn’t help but sigh.
“Mitsui, I didn’t expect you to come back to play basketball. The current Shohoku is completely different from the previous Shohoku. Miuradai should be able to show off his unique skills soon.”
Then his eyes changed, and the aura of a king rose in an instant.
“But even so, Hainan’s status as the king will not change.”
His eyes lingered on Long Yanyu and Sanjing.
“Two sharpshooters? This is getting more and more interesting.
Then he took out his phone and asked in a gentle tone into the person on the other end of the line.
“Ah God, have you arrived yet?”
Chapter 63: The True Strength of Miuradai! (Old Version)
“Shohoku is too strong now.”
“The pace of catching up is too fast.”
“The defensive pressure is also very strong. Look, Miuradai’s offense has completely stagnated!”
“They can’t get any points.”
Seeing that the game had entered a timeout, the audience was talking about it.
Many female viewers looked in the direction of Long Yan.
Not only is he good at basketball, he is also handsome and most importantly, he is very sunny, like a brother next door.
“After the game, be sure to ask him for his contact information!”
Many female fans thought of this at the same time.
Ayako, Kuwata and others were full of excitement and enthusiastically handed towels to Akagi and others who had just come off the field.
“Is this the current strength of Xiangbei? This is just the first run-in, and it has already achieved such results?”
Murasakibara on the bench also looked excited.
His eyes swept over the people who were resting, but the image of Xiangbei standing on the podium flashed through his mind.
“We will definitely go further this year, even…”
Murasakibara doesn’t like to imagine, but the performance of the five tigers of Xiangbei makes him unable to help but imagine.
“Let me play! Let me play!”
Sakuragi Hanamichi stood beside Coach Anzai and patted his chin.
“Dad, please let me play. How can you let only these few of them take the spotlight?”
“Shut up Sakuragi!”
Akagi scolded Sakuragi.
Although the score is now tied, Miuradai’s performance last year should definitely not be underestimated.
You can’t take the risk of throwing basketball novices onto the court.
Sakuragi complained dissatisfiedly.
Long Yan, who was standing by, put his arm around Sakuragi’s shoulders and whispered softly in Sakuragi’s ear.
“When the time comes, you will replace me and you will be the center of attention.”
“Great, Long Yan, you are indeed much better than that damn fox.”
Sakuragi excitedly shook Ryuhiko’s hand to express his gratitude.
Long Yan smiled and shook his head without saying anything, but his eyes passed Sakuragi and looked towards the direction of Miuradai.
“Miuradai is going to do something soon, and that Naito Tetsuya is not on the court either. He is Sakuragi’s real opponent.”
“Did you hear the tactics I just arranged?”
Akagi looked at Long Yan who was distracted in confusion and asked doubtfully.
“I understand, Captain.”
Long Yan nodded seriously and looked at Mitsui and Rukawa who were eager to try.
Akagi stood up, looked at the Shohoku players around him with burning eyes, and roared loudly.
“Get rid of them in the last minute of the first half!”
On the other side, the rest area of Miura Terrace.
The coach of Miuradai roared angrily.
“What did I teach you normally? Have you forgotten it when the competition starts?”
“No, coach, it’s mainly their two guards.”
Kazuo Araki said somewhat helplessly.
“They are so fast and sharp in tackling. They always find opportunities to steal the ball. It’s really weird.”
Coach Miuradai glared at Kazuo Araki.
“You couldn’t even defend against a few first-year players, and were repeatedly intercepted by the opponent. I really don’t know what to say to you guys.”
The Miuratai player’s face darkened as he accepted the harsh criticism from the Miuratai coach and looked at Long Yan with resentment.
Murasame Kengo smiled wickedly and said in a low voice.
“In this case, we can only take action against that kid.”
“Do you need me to play? I can just destroy him!”
Naito Tetsu, who was standing by, said calmly, holding a basketball in his hand.
Judging from his performance, this is not the first time that Tetsuya Naito has done such a thing.
“no!”
Murasame Kengo shook his head and looked at Maki Shinichi on the sidelines.
“You are our secret weapon against Hainan. Just leave Xiangbei, a bottom-ranked team, to us.”
The whistle sounded to end the timeout.
The game continued and there were no changes in the lineups of both Shohoku and Miuradai.
The only difference was that the Miuradai players looked a little grim.
Murasame Kengo and Araki Kazuo were whispering to each other and looked at Ryuhiko who had just entered the arena.
Although he couldn’t hear what they were saying, Long Yan saw it all and knew it clearly.
Long Yan sneered in his heart.
“It looks like you’re going to attack me.”
“You guys have to be careful, they have a lot of little tricks.”
Long Yan reminded the Xiangbei players next to him.
Akagi has fought against Miuradai many times, so he naturally knows Miuradai’s little tricks.
“Be careful not to get hurt.”
The Xiangbei players nodded and went on the court to continue the game.
Miura billiards rights.
Kengo Murasame took advantage of the pick-and-roll and hit Ryuhiko in the chest with an elbow.
Long Yan was prepared and dodged in time.
But he found that Miuradai was not giving up and continued to use pick-and-roll to attack Longyan.
The audience suddenly exploded, and almost everyone looked at the situation on the court in surprise.
“Is Miuradai playing?”
“Their actions are too big, they are all targeting the newcomers from Xiangbei.”
“This is not playing basketball at all, this is beating someone up!”
Maki Shinichi, on the other hand, looked calm. It seemed that Xiangbei put too much pressure on Miuradai and actually forced them to reveal their “true strength”! Long Yan, now it’s time to test whether you are a team ace.
Chapter 64: Prey and Hunter? (Old Version)
“The first half of the game is over, both sides are taking a halftime break!”
With the whistle that ended the first half, the first half between Shohoku and Miuradai finally ended.
Shohoku leads Miuradai with a big score of 56:38.
If you only look at the score, no one would have thought that Xiangbei was even behind by 26 points ten minutes ago.
A rest area at Miura Terrace.
“Your moves are too small! If you want to attack, make it bigger. It’s better to get rid of that Xiangbei No. 10!”
The Miuradai coach scolded the Miuradai players in dissatisfaction.
Since you have chosen this way to win, you might as well make a bigger move.
Send Long Yan directly to the Xiangbei rest area.
However, Kengo Murasame on the side did not feel disappointed because of the score deficit.
Instead, he looked at Long Yan with a provocative look.
“Kid, if you dare to score again in the second half, be careful that you will be carried out of the stadium!”
“Coach, let me play. I will definitely carry that Xiangbei No. 10 away!”
Naito Tetsuya looked at the coach anxiously.
“No, Naito, it’s not time yet.”
Coach Miuradai shook his head and rejected Tetsuya Naito’s request.
Tetsuya Naito could only sigh and sit helplessly on the bench.
On the other side, it’s Xiangbei’s rest area.
Akagi and others gritted their teeth and glared at the Miuradai players with anger on their faces.
They are very unhappy with this kind of behavior, and they disdain to use such despicable means!
Long Yan looked at Murasame Kengo with a cold smile on his face.
“That’s all Miuradai can do.”
He felt even more unhappy in his heart, thinking secretly.
Thinking that Murasame Kengo actually sent him off in this way,
“Since you are unkind, don’t blame me for being unjust.”
In that case, let’s play a game of cat and mouse to see who is the real hunter.
Thinking of this, Long Yan’s eyebrows frowned and he revealed an angry look.
“Half-time is over! The second half begins!”
The voice that had been silent for a long time in the audience began to ring again.
“Miuratai plays too dirty!”
“They are not playing basketball at all, they just want to get the Xiangbei players down!”
“What the hell is the referee doing? Why isn’t he blowing the whistle?”
The Miuradai players looked very proud and didn’t care about the audience’s comments at all.
Although they are behind in the score now, they still have a chance as long as they can get Long Yan off the field.
Rukawa Kaede looked at Miyamoto Kazunari in front of him with some anger.
Rukawa was almost knocked down by Miyamoto Kazunari several times, and was hit by Miyamoto Kazunari’s hidden elbows twice.
Fortunately, he dodged in time, otherwise Rukawa might have been injured.
“What a dirty fellow!”
Miyamoto Gosei smiled indifferently at Rukawa Kaede’s Chinese.
When playing ball, it is normal to make some movements. If you don’t want to be carried off the court, you have to be careful.
“You are still too gentle.”
Kengo Murasame reminded the Miuradai players next to him.
“Make a bigger move and destroy that Long Yan directly!”
The whistle sounded and Xiangbei served the ball.
Akagi passed the ball to Miyagi and reminded Miyagi at the same time.
“Be careful of Kazuo Araki’s little tricks!”
Miyagi nodded, and his movements were much more cautious than before.
Miyagi dribbled the ball and stood at the top of the arc.
“Pass the ball!”
Long Yan raised his right hand and signaled Miyagi to pass the ball.
Miyagi was a little surprised that he wanted the ball so soon.
“Organize an attack first!”
Miyagi shook his head, indicating that he would not pass the ball.
However, Long Yan still refused to give in and waved towards Gong Cheng.
Seeing that he couldn’t beat Long Yan, Miyagi thought for a moment and passed the ball to Long Yan.
Long Yan held the ball with one hand in his right hand, protected the ball behind himself, and hooked his finger at Murasame Kengo.
“Come on!”
Murasame Kengo grinned wickedly, secretly plotting in his heart how to destroy Ryuhiko.
“You are really courting death!”
And these little movements were completely invisible to Long Yan’s insightful eyes.
Long Yan dribbled the ball between his legs continuously, but his body did not break through. Instead, he moved closer to Kazuo Araki’s position.
“How about you two come together?”
Long Yan dribbled the ball to a place not far from Araki Kazuo and raised his middle finger towards him, provoking him.
The audience was confused.
“What is Long Yan going to do?”
“Is he going to challenge both Araki Kazuo and Murasame Kengo at the same time?”
“Isn’t he worried about Miuradai’s little tricks?”
Ayako in the Xiangbei rest area couldn’t help but worry about Ryuhiko.
“This behavior is too dangerous. Miuratai’s actions are getting more and more aggressive. They are definitely going after Long Yan.”
Seeing this, Lingnan Xiandao and others all broke out in cold sweats for Long Yan.
“This brat really dares to provoke two people at the same time.”
Instead, Maki Shinichi looked at Long Yan on the field with curiosity and confusion.
“What on earth would you do?”
Murasame Kengo gave a look to Araki Kazuo.
Kazuo Araki immediately understood what he meant.
“It doesn’t matter whether this ball is defended or not, but if Long Yan dares to attack, I will find a chance to destroy him!”
Thinking of this, the two of them rushed towards Long Yan at the same time.
On the surface, he wanted to steal the ball from Long Yan, but in fact, he wanted to destroy Long Yan directly!
Chapter 65: Miuradai Asks for Trouble! Naito Tetsuya Enters the Stage! (Old Version)
Coach Miuradai stroked his beard and grinned.
“The super rookie from Xiangbei? Then we’ll just carry you out.”
Murasame Kengo and Araki Kazuo rushed towards Ryuhiko at the same time.
Miyagi warned carefully.
“Be careful, Long Yan, you have succeeded in angering them.”
Long Yan smiled calmly, without a trace of panic.
“You have to face it sooner or later, right?”
Long Yan stood where he was, staring at the two people rushing towards him.
“Why isn’t that Xiangbei No. 10 moving?”
“They are heading towards people!”
“Shohoku No. 10 is too confident!”
Suddenly, Long Yan lowered his center of gravity and increased the frequency of his dribbling.
Long Yan’s first step was extremely quick, and he instantly got between the two of them.
At the same time, Long Yan moved the ball behind his back like lightning, avoiding the two people’s interceptions.
His body formed a C and passed between the two people in an instant.
Murasame Kengo and Araki Kazuo looked at each other, and both of them could hardly believe their eyes.
How on earth did Long Yan manage to get through between the two of them just now!
Seeing that the siege was about to fail, Murasame Kengo and Araki Kazuo became angry and became furious.
The two men hit Long Yan’s waist hard with their elbows.
However, Long Yan’s speed was too fast. Before the two men could elbow Long Yan, Long Yan had already passed by them.
Murasame Kengo and Araki Kazuo fell to the ground at the same time, both of them lying on the ground in pain.
Both of them had painful expressions and distorted faces.
The elbow strike just now did not hit Long Yan, but instead hit the opponent’s body.
At the same time, Long Yan, who was unguarded, made another three-pointer with ease.
At the same time, the referee immediately walked up to observe the situation.
There was cheering in the audience.
“It’s really satisfying. These guys from Miuradai only know how to use dirty tricks!”
“But you know what, Xiangbei’s No. 10 is really amazing. He can even squeeze through two people.”
“This freshman is really strong, no wonder he is called the Rookie King of Xiangbei!”
Seeing the miserable state of Miuradai, almost no one felt sorry for them.
Instead, everyone is celebrating. For such a dirty team, the result now is retribution!
Rukawa Kaede felt a little unbalanced when he heard everyone talking about Long Yan, the rookie king of Xiangbei.
Caizi wiped the cold sweat off her forehead.
“What a bravado guy, but luckily nothing happened.”
“very nice.”
Coach Anxi looked at Long Yan with satisfaction after he made the three-pointer.
Although his actions are very unsafe, his strength is unquestionable!
Even the current Rukawa Kaede is slightly different from Ryuhiko in some things.
Miyagi looked at Murasame Kengo and Araki Yuichi who were lying on the ground, and couldn’t help but give a thumbs up to Ryuhiko.
“This is a beautiful shot!”
Even the serious Akagi had a satisfied smile on his face.
He knew long ago that the players of Miuradai played very dirty.
He was just worried that Long Yan would get hurt because of his arrogance.
But unexpectedly, even these two people from Miuradai couldn’t do anything to Long Yan.
In Ryonan’s viewing area, Yuzumi and Hikoichi couldn’t help but cheer for Ryuhiko.
“Keep playing like this and we’ll be one hundred points ahead of Miuradai!”
“How dare you call us a second-rate team, you scumbag! Beat us hard! We must win by 100 points in this game!”
Xiandao on the side seemed to be thinking about something.
“This kid is much stronger than before. His speed and movements are not as clumsy as before.”
Maki Shinichi couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“This kid is really good at playing pranks on people, but I like it.”
Shinichi Maki is also slightly indifferent to teams like Miuradai.
Every time they meet Miuradai, Hainan players feel very uncomfortable.
It’s not because of the technique, but because of the small movements. Miuradai has too many small movements.
Coach Miuradai in the rest area rushed over to check the situation.
After examination, it was found that Kengo Murasame was not hit in any vital areas and was able to still play.
But Kazuo Araki was in a miserable state. He was defeated by Murasame Kengo in one move. He was left with no strength left and lost his ability to compete.
“Damn it! Why at this moment!”
Coach Miuradai was a little annoyed as he saw the score gap getting wider and wider.
But his players were injured, especially Kazuo Araki, who was the best player in the point guard line of Miuratai.
Looking at the bright red scoreboard, Coach Miuradai breathed a sigh of relief.
“Get ready, Naito, you’re ready to go.”
Naito Tetsuya nodded, took off his coat, and started doing warm-up exercises in the rest area.
Coach Miuradai walked up to Naito and whispered in his ear.
“Go up there and cripple all of Shohoku’s players. Whether we can win or not will depend on you.”
“no problem!”
A ferocious smile appeared on Naito Tetsuya’s face.
Useless people! This is what he likes the most.
Murasame Kengo, who had just recovered, looked at Naito Tetsuya with a flattering expression.
“Naito-kun, whether our Miuratai can qualify or not is up to you.”
When Naito Tetsuya heard the flattering words from Murasame Kengo and others, he became even more arrogant and continued doing warm-up exercises.
“Shohoku’s super rookie? Look, I’m going to destroy him!”
