Chapter 180: Xiangbei vs. Green Wind: Widening the Point Gap
"Kuromuro is even better than last year." Fujima looked at Shohoku No. 5 on the court with a serious face.
"Pass" Mike signaled to quickly serve the ball from the baseline. Mike, who was used to playing in the United States, originally disdained this sneak attack, but seeing the score was widening, he could not care so much, scoring was the most important thing. The player serving the ball from the baseline immediately passed the ball to Mike. "Totsuka" Mike got the ball and noticed that Totsuka, the fastest sprinter in the team, had already run to the front, so he made another long pass. Xiangbei was not familiar with the offensive style of the new Totsuka, and there was no one to defend, so Totsuka scored easily.
"Fukuda, you go follow that No. 9," Mugure made arrangements. Although Mugure knew that Sakuragi was the best candidate to defend Totsuka, Sakuragi still had to deal with Minggao. So he left it to Fukuda. Before crossing over, Mugure was watching the movie version of the match between Xiangbei and Midorikaze, and felt that Totsuka was a player who was good at running and cutting, and was somewhat similar to Fukuda, so he let Fukuda deal with Totsuka. And Fukuda's quality was not bad either.
"Kumuro, give me the next ball," Mitsui whispered. Although Mike's ball was intercepted by Mururo, he was actually bullied by Mike. Mitsui has his own pride and must chase this ball back.
"No problem." Murasakibara nodded and dribbled the ball slowly to the frontcourt. After taking a few steps on the spot, he suddenly accelerated. Ebina only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and saw Murasakibara's back passing him and rushing towards the inside.
"Don't even think about it!" This time it was Rukawa who spoke. Just now, Murasaki scored a goal under his defense. Rukawa had been eager to prevent Murasaki from scoring a goal, so he kept an eye on Murasaki. Seeing Murasaki's successful breakthrough, he immediately rushed over from the wing to make up for it. At this time, Mitsui suddenly started, and when Mike tried to defend, he was blocked by Sakuragi, and Mitsui suddenly rushed to the inside.
"Be careful!" All of this was seen by Ebina who was chasing Mugure. He hurriedly reminded him, but he was still a step too late. As he spoke, the basketball in Mugure's hand had passed through Rukawa's crotch and landed in Mitsui's hands. Mitsui got the ball and made a layup
"Hmph." Minggao jumped up quickly to block Mitsui's shot, and Mike, who found that his defense had been thrown off, also jumped up from behind Mitsui to double-team him.
The four hands of the two blocked all the directions and shooting angles of Rukawa. Fujisawa Eri couldn't help but shout: "Beautiful! Defend Mitsui's shot and dampen Xiangbei's spirit!"
"You underestimate me too much." A trace of sneer appeared on Mitsui's face. Looking at Minggao in front of him, Mitsui shrank his body, and then stretched it out again. At the same time, his right hand holding the ball hooked upwards, and the ball bypassed the two defenders and flew towards the basket, circled the basket twice, and finally went in.
"So handsome, Mitsui!" Mumu rushed over and high-fived Mitsui.
"Mitsui-senpai is awesome." Sakuragi, Kiyota and Fukuda also applauded loudly. This shot was considered a top-notch technique in the high school world.
"Okay, it's just one ball, hurry back to defense and try to prevent the next ball." Akagi said unromanticly off the court, but the smile that he couldn't help but give betrayed his inner thoughts.
Green Wind attacked, Ebina passed the ball to center Minggao who went to the high position to ask for the ball. Minggao made a fake breakthrough move facing Sakuragi and then directly jumped shot in the high position. Sakuragi did not defend in time and Minggao made a high shot.
"Mitsui" Mugure passed the ball to Mitsui again. Mitsui faced Mike, dribbled the ball between his legs, and shook it greatly. Just when Mike was trying to determine which direction Mitsui was going to break through, Mitsui suddenly jumped up and shot.
"What?!" Mike didn't expect Mitsui to jump directly, but Mike's reaction was not slow, and he jumped up with all his strength, intending to use his height and jumping advantage to interfere with Mitsui's shot, but he found that Mitsui was getting farther and farther away from him. "Fadeaway?!" Mike was startled and turned around to look. The basketball drew a beautiful arc and went into the net.
Ebina saw Minggao asking for the ball in the low post, and out of trust in Minggao, he immediately gave the ball to Minggao. Minggao sank his body after receiving the basketball and started to back-up. To his surprise, Sakuragi, who was five centimeters shorter than him, was not pushed by him. "This red-haired boy is quite strong." Minggao was surprised, but he was not discouraged. "I have more than just strength." Minggao quickly used the reaction force to make a beautiful turn, and then jumped to shoot.
But a surprising scene happened. Sakuragi actually followed his movements, stretched out his palms to block in front of him, and jumped higher than him. He had no choice but to raise his shooting point to prevent being blocked. However, this inevitably changed the trajectory of the shot.
"Rebound" Ming Gao immediately felt something was wrong after shooting.
After "my" Sakuragi finished his defense, he immediately jumped again and grabbed the rebound.
"How can this red-haired boy shoot so fast?" Mike, who was standing by, was stunned.
"Foreigners, because I'm a genius" Seeing Mike's surprised expression, Sakuragi's old problem came back
"Pah!" The ball in Sakuragi's hand was slapped by Rukawa, who took the ball and made a layup. "Big idiot!" Akagi yelled in anger.
"Don't even think about scoring a goal!" Kiyota suddenly came from the side, jumped up to block the shot, his fingertips touched the basketball, and the ball bounced out of the frame. As soon as the ball bounced out, "mine" Sakuragi, eager to make up for his mistake, jumped up and took the ball away
"Fast break!" Sakuragi grabbed the rebound and immediately threw the ball hard to the front court. Murasakibara had already passed half court and steadily caught Sakuragi's pass.
No way! As Muguro started to layup, the extremely fast Totsuka caught up with him and jumped up at the same time as him, trying to block him from behind.
To his surprise, he did not see Murasakibara make a move until both of them landed on the ground at the same time.
"Boom!" Fukuda followed up with a dunk and scored
"Nice pass, Senior Kogure." Fukuda came over and high-fived Kogure, "You followed up in a timely manner too." Kogure praised Fukuda and said, "Kiyata, great defense, Sakuragi, good rebounding too." The two monkeys were so happy that they couldn't find their way.
"This Mumu, he just passed the ball without even looking at the player." Mike, who was watching clearly from behind, looked more and more serious. "Ebina, leave the ball to me." Mike looked at his team's leading defender.
"Okay." It was the first time that Ebina saw Mike's serious expression. After Mike got the ball, he dribbled with his back to Mike. Mitsui's whole body was completely pressed against Mike's back, making him impenetrable. Mike also felt the pressure from Mitsui at the moment and kept pushing himself out of the restricted area. However, Mike also suddenly resisted Mitsui's force and turned around to jump for a layup. Mitsui jumped up to block the shot, but he was unable to interfere due to his height and wingspan disadvantages. Mike's hand shook and the basketball flew out.
The basketball hit the backboard and bounced easily into the net.
Xiangbei attacks, Fukuda runs out of space and gets the ball to shoot
"Bang!" The ball was blocked by Mike. "One more goal!" Mike dribbled the ball straight to the backcourt of Xiangbei, passed Kiyota, passed Mitsui, and reached the basket.
"Foreigner, you can't score a goal!" Sakuragi jumped high to block Mike's shot.
"Give me the ball." Rukawa had already run to the basket, signaling for the ball. But Mike ignored Rukawa, passed the ball from his right hand to his left hand in the air, bypassed Sakuragi's defense and made a layup.
"Bang!" The ball was pushed back by Mu Mu.
"Foul!" Mike yelled, but the referee ignored him.
"Fast break" After Murasakibara got the ball, he made a long pass and Kiyota scored a layup.
Green Wind attacks, this time Ebina passes the ball to Mike, but it is intercepted by Rukawa Kaede halfway. Rukawa Kaede jumps and shoots directly after getting the ball
"Too hasty" Fujisawa Eri, who was standing by the court, could also see that Rukawa Kaede handled the ball carelessly.
"Don't underestimate me!" Kiyota jumped high, and after being blocked by Kiyota, Rukawa's shot hit the basket. Sakuragi fought against Minggao and grabbed the rebound. After several passes, Mitsui made a three-pointer!
"Rukawa, why did you grab my ball just now?" Mike was a little unhappy when Rukawa got the ball that was originally given to him. He questioned Rukawa
"Green Wind requests a timeout." Seeing that his players were in a bad mood, the big ship coach quickly called a timeout.
