Chapter 74 Practice in the Team
"Akagi, Kigure, Yasuda, Kakuda, Shiozaki, you represent the second and third graders, and you are free to form a first-year group, Sakuragi, you continue to do basic exercises." Shen Long did not let Mitsui and Miyagi play, lest the gap in strength is too large .
"Coach!" Mitsui Hisashi and Sakuragi Hanamichi shouted at the same time, they both wanted to play.
"Mitsui, come here, pay attention to that guy, I will replace you later." Shen Long pointed to Rukawa Feng and said, arranged for Mitsui Shou, and he found Sakuragi, "Hamachi, let's make a bet, If you win I'll send you on."
"Father, what are you betting on? Why don't you send someone to play quickly? Without this genius, how could Rukawa Kaede, that dead fox, beat the gorilla." Yingmu Huadao wanted to pinch Shen Long's chin, but was stopped by Mitsui Shou up.
"You guy, you have to respect the coach, you know?" Mitsui Shou was very dissatisfied.
The game started, and Rukawa Kaede led first-year freshmen such as Kuwata Toki, Sasaoka Satoshi, and Ishii Kentaro to start a confrontation with Akagi and Mugure.
Shen Long pointed to the court and said to Yingmu Huadao, "Hanagi, when they shoot in a while, guess which direction the basketball will land on, whether it is the left side of the basket, the right side or the front. If you can guess five times correctly, I will send it to you. You play."
Sakuragi Hanamichi's rebounding talent is the strongest in the entire manga, not only because of his superhuman jumping, but also because of his beast-like intuition. Now he wants to see what Sakuragi's talent is in this aspect. How strong.
"Left or right?" Sakuragi Hanamichi squatted down on one knee, observing the situation on the field while dribbling the ball. Mitsui Shou next to him looked at Rukawa Kaede without blinking. He was surprised by Rukawa Kaede's sharp attack just now. , Is the current first grade already so powerful?
"Uh, left?" Seeing Mugure's shot, Hanamichi Sakuragi guessed wildly, and then the basketball bounced off the rim and landed on the right.
"Huadao, if you guess wrong more than five times, you don't need to play in this game." Don't be fooled, "Don't worry, observe slowly, and guess when you are sure." No matter how powerful a genius is, after all, It's just new to basketball.
"Stupid, the basketball's landing point is not random guessing. It depends on the shooting position and arc. If you shoot the ball on the left and the arc is low, it is more likely to bounce back to the left. If you shoot the ball from the front, it will bounce to the backboard The probability of being on the front is the highest..." Hisashi Mitsui couldn't help but say a few more words, "For example, Rukawa Kaede deliberately increased the arc in order to avoid Akagi's block, so if it misses, it is likely to fall on the other side. On one side..."
Then... Rukawa Kaede's shot went into the net hollowly, Sakuragi Hanamichi laughed, "Haha, Xiaosan, what are you talking about!"
"Idiot, what I said was only possible, didn't you hear!" The two guys reached a ball.
"Huadao, what Mitsui said is right, you continue to observe! Remember, if you guess wrong five times, you will have no chance to play." Shen Long separated them.
Does the arc and position determine the landing point? Sakuragi let go of Mitsui Shou and watched carefully for a while, feeling as if he had caught something. Here Yasuda received Akagi's inside point shot, the arc was a bit low, Huadao had a flash of inspiration, it should have bounced back to the right Sure enough, the basketball hit the rim and bounced back to the right. Akagi squeezed Rukawa Kaede to grab the backboard and performed a slam dunk by the orangutan.
"This should be on the left side!" In the next round, Kaede Rukawa made a shot, and Sakuragi quickly guessed, but the basketball rolled twice on the basket and fell into the net, Kaede Rukawa scored another two points.
"Huadao, you guessed wrong twice, and you still have three more chances." Shen Long smiled and raised two fingers.
"Ah, father, does that count as just now?" Huadao was dumbfounded.
"Mitsui, do you see anything?" Shen Long ignored him and turned around to ask Mitsui Shou.
"This guy's jumping, speed, reaction, dribbling, breakthrough, shooting, and layup are all first-class. It is difficult for Akagi to stop him one-on-one.
However, he was too obsessed with personal offense and ignored the existence of his teammates. Several times, Kuwata and Sasaoka Satoshi ran out of the open space and Rukawa Kaede didn't pass the ball, but went hard against Akagi. "Mitsui Shou's experience is still there, and he can see the advantages and disadvantages of Rukawa Kaede at once.
"Okay, then you replace Akagi on the stage, and you will deal with Rukawa Kaede. When appropriate, you can let Mugure and Kakuda help double-team." Mitsui Hisashi's defense is still very strong. He once restricted Fukuda's offense, and Rukawa Feng did not lose in the heads-up, "In the attack, I will also ask Kakuda and Mugure to help you block."
Shen Long called a timeout, replaced Akagi, explained the tactics to Kakuda and Mugure, and then the game restarted.
Rukawa Kaede attacked with the ball, and Mu Mu stepped forward and was easily broken by Rukawa Kaede. However, just as he passed Mu Mu, he found that Mitsui had already established a position on his forward route.
It was Mitsui's turn to attack, and Rukawa Kaede stopped in front of him, but Mitsui did not break through, but passed the ball to Mugure, and then Kakuda's pick-and-roll slowed down Rukawa Kaede's pace, and the open space received a pass from Mugure and hit a three-pointer.
Hisashi Mitsui did not pursue steals or blocks in the defense process, but used the help of Mugure and Kakuda to force Rukawa Kaede to choose a more difficult offensive method as much as possible, which quickly reduced Rukawa Kaede's hit rate.
"This time it should be bounced back to the front, the third position." As soon as Hanamichi Sakuragi finished speaking, Rukawa Kaede's shot rebounded, Mitsui jumped up and took the rebound, and threw a long pass to Yasuda. The defensive Yasuda scored a layup.
The game went on for a few more rounds. Due to the decline in Kaede Rukawa's shooting rate, the score gradually opened up. Shen Long called a timeout again. This time he directly asked Kaede Rukawa and Hisashi Mitsui to change teams. In the first grade team, Mitsui Shou began to lead the freshmen.
"Sasaoka Satoshi, help me double-team Rukawa Kaede for a while, Kuwata, I think your layup is okay, I will pass the ball to you when you run to a good position..." Hisashi Mitsui immediately called the first-year freshmen and began to arrange tactics However, Rukawa Feng still stood there coldly, not communicating with Mu Mu and the others.
The old students in the second and third grades are obviously higher than the freshmen in the first grade. Unfortunately, Rukawa Kaede did not take advantage of this advantage and was still obsessed with singles. However, Mitsui Shou integrated the first grades together through his loud orders and passing the ball. Under the leadership, the score of the first grade slowly caught up.
At this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi also guessed correctly the landing point of five rebounds. Shen Long fulfilled his promise and sent Sakuragi Hanamichi to the field, "Hanagi, you go and Mitsui's team!"
