The referee did not let the audience wait. Not long after Yokota Middle School and Heqiu Middle School entered the venue, the referee blew the whistle and announced the start of the game. Sakuragi Hanamichi walked towards the stadium in everyone's eyes.

Yokota Middle School divided its players into two batches to deal with the game against Heqiu Middle School. The players who played in the first half were Kusao Shizuo as the main offensive point and matched the strongest third-year students in Yokota Middle School. In the second half, except for the third-year Sakuragi Hanamichi who played in the game, they were all first- and second-year players. Among them, there was only one guard in the regular main force - Yuta Tatsuo. The rest were younger players with certain talents.

"Come on! We will win this game quickly!" Sakuragi Hanada walked at the front of the team and encouraged loudly. Although Sakuragi Hanada didn't play for a long time and joined Yokota Middle School for a very short time, his vague leadership temperament made the players who played with him listen to Hanada's words.

"Okay!" Yokota Middle School was full of momentum, but on the other hand, the huge score difference after the first half of the game pushed their players out of breath, and the players on the field were all dejected.

"Here you come! Hanadao is on the stage!" Ye Zi jumped up excitedly in the audience. When she saw Sakuragi appear on the stage, she happily shared with the people around her.

"This game looks boring~"

"He Qiu doesn't even have the energy to play basketball now, and he can't see the strength of Huadao at all~"

Tianno looked at the dejected Heqiu players on the field and felt a pity. The exercise such an opponent could bring to Sakuragi was extremely limited. Instead of fighting with such an opponent, Coach Kitano might as well continue to let Sakuragi sit on the bench, so that the next opponent could not understand Sakuragi's path.

"Beep!" After a whistle, the referee threw the ball high into the air and announced that the second half had officially begun.

"So high!" He Qiu's center jumped hard after seeing the basketball thrown high, but before the others reached the highest point, the basketball was shot away by Sakuragi.

"Yuta! Passing the ball!" After the jump ball in the middle of Sakuragi Hanamichi landed, he immediately ran towards He Qiu's halftime without stopping. The connection between the jump ball and the sprint was very smooth. His powerful athletic ability made Sakuragi Hanamichi surpass He Qiu's defense player at once. Sakuragi turned his head while running and called Yuta Tatsuo's pass.

"Senior Sakuragi is really enthusiastic today!" Tian Woyong held the basketball high and threw it towards the frontcourt. At the same time, no one else wanted to go to the frontcourt to help Sakuragi attack. Instead, he began to walk slowly towards Yokota Middle School's halftime, preparing to return to defense.

"Good pass!" Hanamichi Sakuragi got the ball in the frontcourt. At this time, the defender of Heqiu Middle School had just caught up with Sakuragi because Hanamichi slowed down and rushed towards Heqiu's basket.

"Stop him! Stop him!" The coach of Heqiu Middle School shouted on the sidelines. Although he knew that his team was definitely not a match for Yokota Middle School, the players' state of the game made him very unsightly. Even if he lost, he had to lose with dignity, right?

In the field of competitive sports, struggle is an eternal theme, and struggle can often be more respected, whether it is an opponent or an audience. You cannot lose the competition or lose the spirit. As an athlete in a competitive sports, you can lose the competition, but you cannot lose the dignity.

However, Coach Heqiu's call cannot make the players on the field run faster. It is one aspect that they are not willing to admit defeat, but relying solely on their spirits cannot exceed the physical limit. Sakuragi Hanamichi once again jumped from the position near the free throw line, and once again performed the free throw line gliding and slamming for the audience!

"duang!!!" The loud noise when the slam dunk was successful made the audience excited. The slam dunk during the warm-up and the slam dunk during the game were not the same concept. The slam dunk during the game was even more shocking. The players who acted as the background board behind Sakuragi further deepened the shock in the hearts of the audience.

"Good job! Red-haired boy!" Some viewers shouted in surprise. He didn't expect that he could see such a wonderful goal in the national middle school game.

"Beautiful buckle! Sakuragi!" Tianye also stood up, made his hands into a cylindrical shape, and placed it beside his mouth to encourage Sakuragi loudly.

Sakuragi, who scored the goal, waved his arms like a treasure trophy, waved his hands to the audience area on Tianye. Looking at Ye Zi covering his mouth and chuckling, Tianye knew who Hanadao was saying hello to.

"This kid, I'm working so hard to train him~"

"I didn't expect to forget me so soon~~"

Tian Ye put down his hand and sat in the seat, sighing. His words made Ye Zi's face blush again.

After Sakuragi Hanamichi's slam dunk, the already sluggish Hoqiu Middle School, which was already in a sluggish state, became even worse, and its morale has been sluggish since then. Yokota Middle School's offensive ball rights were all concentrated in the hands of Yuta Tada, and Yuta Tada's offensive method was also very single, without any breakthrough or pass-through, just shooting a three-pointer.

Although Yuta Tatsuya's three-point shooting percentage is pretty good, it is only about 30% of the shooting percentage, and there were a lot of rebounds in the second half. At this time, the audience once again refreshed their understanding of Sakuragi Hanado. In the second half, Heqiu Middle School won 2 front and back rebounds in total, while Yokota Middle School and Sakuragi Hanado won 14 rebounds by one.

You know, Hanadao only played the half-time game. The game ended with the crying of the players of Heqiu Middle School. Yokota Middle School defeated Heqiu Middle School with a score of 121:31 and won their first victory in this national competition.

Hanamichi Sakuragi scored only 6 points in the first half, but he scored 14 rebounds and 6 blocks. His power when he stood under the basket was obvious to all. After this game, many viewers remembered this red-haired guy.

"Good job, Sakuragi." The players of Yokota Middle School won the game, but the players did not seem very happy. Faced with such a big victory, Coach Kitano just praised it casually.

Then he took the team away, and Coach Kitano didn't even have the interest to watch other teams' games. Because he had done a full investigation before, with the current strength of Yokota Middle School, no national middle school team in the country can defeat him.

With the departure of the Yokota Middle School players, the Sakuragi Legion also stood up to leave, and among the group of people in Ryunan, Sendo and Tano were also preparing to leave the venue. After the few people left, only Coach Taoka and Ikekami were left to continue watching the game. Coach Taoka also wanted to take this opportunity to find more potential players.
