Chapter 187 The Sakuragi Flower Road of the Complete Victory Attack
After the National High School National Competition, Yokota Middle School's competition went very smoothly. They defeated Tokyo and Osaka's strong team successfully reached the semi-finals. Then, after a hard battle in the semi-finals, they defeated the strong school from Tokyo and successfully advanced to the finals.
In these few games, Hanaki Sakuragi left a deep impression on the audience across the country. He averaged 10 points, 13 rebounds, and 3.7 blocks per game. Hanaki Sakuragi gave such an answer to Coach Kitano in the first half of each game. His ability surprised everyone who came to watch the game.
Sakuragi has also shown other abilities in these games. He not only has amazing talent in rebounding, but also has an excellent sense of smell on the defensive end. Sakuragi Hanado's guarding the basket cannot be said to be indestructible, but all those who have played with Hanado feel the strong sense of oppression brought by Sakuragi. This huge pressure makes offensive players more likely to make mistakes when attacking.
So far, Sakuragi's rebounding ability and amazing defensive ability displayed on the court have made coaches from various universities envious. However, Sakuragi's shortcomings have been discovered. He does not have the ability to shoot outside, and cooperates with his teammates' passes and receiving balls. He seems to be at a loss when facing double-teaming.
These weaknesses are all gathered into a complete and complete information, which is in the hands of the coach of Fukuoka High School. That's right, it is the strong enemy that Yokota High School will encounter in the finals, Fukuoka High School.
When it comes to Fukuoka High School, this is an old opponent that Tianye is very familiar with. As a nationally famous basketball school, Fukuoka High School has always played the role of a great devil before the rise of Yokota High School. Braves from all over the country challenged this devil, but were all killed.
It was not until that year that the third grade of junior high school, Tano, with the super newcomer Kusao and the iron arm combination of Hinata and Hashiki, that he successfully overthrew the Fukuoka Dynasty. However, in the autumn and winter games after Tano retreated, Fukuoka once again stood back to the top. However, this year, Yokota Middle School once again stood in front of Fukuoka High School as a brave man.
Fukuoka High School is strong. As a team of champions for many years, they have this continuous stream of outstanding talents to join. Among the main players of Fukuoka High School today, there are as many as three third-grade players. The remaining two are second-grade and have relatively rich competition experience.
Moreover, Fukuoka High School and Sanno Industry have a good cooperative relationship. Although they are not from the same prefecture, the two schools have very good exchanges. Some excellent players at Fukuoka High School may choose the powerful Sanno if they don’t play locally in Fukuoka in the future. Maybe this is the mutual appreciation between the strong.
"The strongest opponent of Yokota Middle School this year is Fukuoka High School." Tano sat in the first row, wearing casual clothes, resting his feet on the railing and looking at the passage.
The people from Ryonan and the Sakuragi Legion came to the venue early. Today is the final of the Kōaka Prefecture Competition. After the morning competition, they will go back to Kamakura.
It is worth mentioning that there are so many people coming today's game, and there are also many coaches and players from various high schools. Not long after the national high school competition ended, some teams did not go back at all, but stayed in Tokyo to watch the basketball game at the National High School in an attempt to dig out some good seedlings.
The final champion of the high school national competition was included in the arms of Sanno Industry. As for the runner-up and third place, it was not mentioned at all. The only one who remembers the strongest one. As for the Liangnan High School, which was once inseparable from Sanno, has long been forgotten. Perhaps the only people in Kanagawa and some people from Aichi Prefecture that have an impact on Rakinan may be the only people in Kanagawa and some people in Aichi Prefecture.
After winning the championship, everyone from Wanggong Industrial did not return to Akita immediately, but stayed to watch the game.
"Da da da da da da da." Footsteps came from the colleagues of Fukuoka High School, and the audience who had arrived focused their attention on the passage on the side of Fukuoka High School.
"This... how is this possible?" Tian Ye put down his feet and exclaimed. In the passage of Fukuoka High School, a huge figure followed Coach Fukuoka and walked into the venue. His figure made other spectators exclaim in surprise.
"Wow!! What a tall person."
"The first time I met, the first time I saw a Chinese middle school student and Yokota's grass tail were similar."
"How did this person grow up?"
The audience exclaimed at the giant inside the Fukuoka team.
"How could this happen?" Until this time, Tianye couldn't believe what was happening in front of him. He knew the giant from Fukuoka High School, named Mikio Kawada, but under Tianye's influence, this person should have started playing basketball after high school. He shouldn't have appeared in the team of Fukuoka High School!
Mikio Kawada, a third-year junior high school student, is 207cm tall and weighs 121kg. His huge figure directly turned into a huge sense of oppression and emanated towards the surroundings.
"Tianye, what's wrong?" Xiandao exclaimed when he saw Tianye, then began to murmur to himself, and asked with concern.
"Ah? No... nothing." Tano said this, but there had been a storm in his heart. Mikio Kawada's appearance was far beyond Tian Ye's expectations. He did not expect that the person who should have appeared in Sanno would appear here next year. And he actually entered the field as a member of Fukuoka High School.
"It seems it's the butterfly effect..."
"Has my existence brought about such a change?"
Tiano looked at the No. 14 jersey worn by Mikio Kawada and fell into deep thought for a moment. He had fought with Fukuoka High School before when he was in the middle school, but he had never seen Mikio Kawada.
"On the 14th, I should have joined Fukuoka High School in the third grade of junior high school." Tian Ye thought secretly in his mind.
"It seems that it is not easy for Hanado to win a championship." After thinking for a long time, Tano sighed. Mikio Kawada's height is higher than Kusato, and from the perspective of his figure, his weight should be greater than Kusato. Such a figure is not something that others can compete with. In Yokota's team, only Kusato and Sakuragi can fight.
"I hope you'll be more skilled." Just as Tian Ye was silently reciting in his heart, the players of Yokota Middle School began to enter the venue. In the corridor, the old coach - Coach Kitano.
After Coach Kitano brought the Yokota people behind him into the field, he saw the giant in the Fukuoka Affiliated Middle School team at a glance, and his expression was slightly stunned.
"I haven't seen it before!"
"It seems difficult to deal with!"
Coach Kitano scratched his head and brought the players into the field. Kusato's arrival made Mikio Kawada on the opposite side cheer up. It was the first time he saw a middle school student who was about the same height as him. Kusato's side also focused on Mikio Kawada after entering the field. It was also the first time he saw Mikio Kawada who was about the same height as him!
The two teams entered the court and began to warm up, and a depressing atmosphere enveloped the entire basketball court.
