Chapter 74 Team Practice
"Akagi, Kigure, Yasuda, Tsunoda, and Shiozaki, you will represent the second and third graders. You, the first graders, can combine freely. Sakuragi, you continue to do basic exercises." Shen Long did not let Mitsui and Miyagi appear to avoid too big a gap in strength. .
"Coach!" Hisashi Mitsui and Hanamichi Sakuragi shouted at the same time, they also wanted to play.
"Mitsui, come here and observe that guy carefully. I will replace you later." Shen Long pointed at Rukawa Kaede and said, arranged for Mitsui Hisashi, and he found Sakuragi, "Hanamichi, let's make a bet. If you win I will send you on."
"Dad, what kind of bet are you making? Can you send someone to play quickly? Without this genius, how could that dead fox Rukawa Kaede defeat the gorilla?" Sakuragi Hanamichi wanted to come over and pinch Shen Long's chin, but Mitsui Hisashi stopped him. Already.
"You guys, you have to respect the coach, you know?" Hisashi Mitsui was very dissatisfied.
The game started, and Rukawa Kaede led first-year students such as Kuwata Nobori, Sasaka Satoshi, Ishii Kentaro and other first-year students to compete against Akagi and Kigure.
Shen Long pointed to the court and said to Sakuragi Hanamichi, "Hanamichi, when they shoot the ball later, guess which direction the basketball will land on, whether it will be to the left of the basket, the right or the front. If you can guess correctly five times, I will send You come on."
Sakuragi Hanamichi's rebounding talent is the strongest in the entire manga. This is not only because he has superhuman jumping, but also has beast-like intuition. He now wants to see what Sakuragi's talent is in this area. How strong.
"Left or right?" Sakuragi Hanamichi squatted on one knee, dribbling while observing the situation on the court. Mitsui Hisashi next to him looked at Rukawa Kaede without blinking. He was surprised by Rukawa Kaede's sharp attack just now. ,Are the current first graders already so powerful?
"Um, left?" Sakuragi Hanamichi made a random guess when he saw Mumu shooting, and then the basketball bounced off the rim and landed on the right.
"Hanamichi, if you guess wrong more than five times, you won't have to play in this game." Don't be confused, "Don't be anxious, observe slowly first, and then guess again when you are confident." No matter how powerful a genius is, after all, I'm just new to basketball.
"Idiot, the landing point of the basketball is not random guessing. It depends on the shooting position and the arc. If you shoot from the left side, if the arc is low, it is more likely to bounce to the left. If you shoot from the front, it will bounce off the backboard and land on the backboard. The chance of being on the front is the highest..." Hisashi Mitsui couldn't help but say a few more words, "For example, Rukawa Kaede deliberately raised the arc in order to avoid Akagi's block, so if he misses, he is likely to fall to the other side. On one side..."
Then... Rukawa Kaede's shot hit the net, and Sakuragi Hanamichi laughed loudly, "Haha, mistress, what are you talking about!"
"Idiot, what I said is only possible, didn't you hear?" The two guys reached a group.
"Hanamichi, Mitsui is right, keep observing! Remember, if you guess wrong five times, you will have no chance to play." Shen Long separated the two of them.
Do the arc and position determine the landing point? Sakuragi let go of Mitsui Hisashi and observed carefully for a while, feeling that he had caught something. Yasuda received Akagi's inside point shot, and the arc was a little low. Hanamichi had a bright idea in his mind. In a flash, 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 away and grabbed the rebound to perform a gorilla slam dunk.
"This should be on the left side!" In the next round, Rukawa Kaede took action, Sakuragi quickly guessed. However, the basketball rolled twice on the basket and fell into the net. Rukawa Kaede scored two more points.
"Huamichi, you guessed wrong twice, you still have three chances." Shen Long smiled and raised two fingers.
"Ah, Dad, does the time just now count?" Hanamichi 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 top-notch. It's difficult for Akagi to stop him one-on-one, but he is too obsessed with personal offense and ignores the existence of his teammates. Several times, Kuwata, Satoshi Sasaka and others ran out of space and Rukawa Kaede did not pass the ball, but instead hit Akagi hard." Mitsui Hisashi's experience was still there, and he immediately saw Rukawa Kaede's strengths and flaws.
"Okay, next you will replace Akagi. You will deal with Rukawa Kaede. When appropriate, you can ask Mugure and Tsunoda to help double-team." Mitsui Hisashi's defense is still very strong. He once restricted Fukuda's offense and Rukawa. Kaede did not fall behind in the duel, "During the attack, I will also ask Tsunoda and Kigure to help you block people."
Shen Long called a timeout, replaced Akagi, told Tsunoda and Kimu the tactics, and then the game started again.
Rukawa Kaede attacked with the ball. Mumu stepped forward and was easily broken through by Rukawa Kaede. However, as soon as he passed Mumu, he found that Mitsui had already taken a position on his forward path. Rukawa Kaede had no time to brake and Mitsui Hisashi made an offensive foul.
It was Mitsui Hisashi's turn to attack, but Rukawa Kaede blocked him. Mitsui Hisashi did not break through, but passed the ball to Mugure. Then Tsunoda's pick-and-roll slowed down Rukawa Kaede, and he received the pass from Mumu in the open space and hit a three-pointer.
Mitsui Hisashi did not pursue steals or blocks during the defense process. Instead, he used the help of Mugure and Tsunoda to force Rukawa Kaede to choose more difficult offensive methods, quickly reducing Rukawa Kaede's shooting rate.
"This time it should bounce back to the front, in the third position." As soon as Sakuragi Hanamichi finished speaking, he saw Rukawa Kaede's shot bounce. Mitsui Hisao jumped high to get the rebound, and threw a long pass to Yasuda, no one Defensive Yasuda scored a layup.
The game went on for a few more rounds. Due to the decline in Rukawa Kaede's shooting percentage, the score gradually became wider. Shen Long called another timeout. This time he directly asked Rukawa Kaede and Mitsui Hisashi to change teams. Rukawa Kaede and Mu Mu waited for the second and third teams. In the first grade team, Hisashi Mitsui began to lead the first-year students.
"Sasaoka Satoshi, double-team Rukawa Kaede for me later, Kuwata, I think your layup is okay. If you run into a good position, I will pass the ball to you..." Mitsui Hisashi immediately summoned the first-year students and began to lay out tactics. , Rukawa Kaede still stood there coldly, not communicating with Mu Mu and the others.
The second- and third-year senior students are obviously higher than the first-year freshmen. Unfortunately, Rukawa Kaede did not take advantage of this and still insisted on singles. However, Mitsui Hisashi used his loud orders and passes to integrate the first-year students. Under his leadership, the score of the first graders slowly caught up.
