Chapter 404 The Duel Between Flower Path and Rukawa Kaede
Tano squeezed out Rukawa Kaede and Mitsui Shou double-teamed in the frontcourt and received a pass from Sakuragi Hanado, and then successfully scored the ball on Akagi Takaki's head and successfully seduced Akagi Takaki's foul.
As Shimiamitano steadily scored the free throw, Lennan High School once again took the lead. After suffering such a small loss, Mitsui Shou and Rukawa Kaede became more cautious in their defense. Even in Tianno, who was in a state of no ball, they followed closely, trying not to let Tianno receive the basketball.
Faced with the situation where Tian Ye was double-teamed, Lennan High School did not arrange other players to do unball pick-and-roll to help Tian Ye get the basketball in a comfortable position. Instead, Tian Ye began to actively allocate the ball rights to other players. Although Tian Ye's own personal abilities are very outstanding, after all, Tian Ye still knows what role he plays in the team.
At this time, if Sendo and Nan Lie were unable to stand up, then Tian Ye would take control of the ball. However, except for Rukawa Kaede and Mitsui Shou, the others could not cause any trouble to Nan Lie and Seno.
Katsumiichiro did a good job in Nan Lie's defense, but he only stayed to this level. Nan Lie's performance was limited at most, but as Sendo and his two-person dismantled and cooperated to start operating, Xiangbei had no way to target Sendo and Nan Lie.
"Good pass!" In the half of Xiangbei, Sendo took the initiative to run to Katsumiichiro and made a pick-and-roll for Nan Lie. As Nan Lie broke through, he led Xiangbei's defense to run inside. When Nan Lie reached the middle distance, he didn't even look at Sendo's position, so he accurately passed the ball to Sendo's hands.
Sendo received the ball and shot directly from a long distance. As the sound of basketball swiping the net sounded, Sendo's personal score reached 6 points. When the first half was 9 minutes, Lennan High School took the lead with a score of 23:16. Although Xiangbei changed his defensive policy against Tianye.
But in fact, Shokihiro is useless to target Tianye at all. On the court, Kotoshi Kiri and Katsumiichiro's single defense ability is just careless, and it will not play any role in front of offensive players of Sendo and Nanrei.
Not to mention that the cooperation between Xiandao and Nan Lie is quite tacit, and the two of them have a stable mentality. There are very few missed mid-range shots in the open space. There are too many players that Xiangbei High School needs to pay attention to on the defensive end. With their role players' foundation and strength, they cannot be compared with Lingnan, who is a private school.
Xiangbei High School not only struggled to play on the defensive end, but also felt very uncomfortable on the offensive end. The players on the court were very good at defensive abilities. Even Hanamichi Sakuragi, who had a lot of mistakes per game, performed extremely seriously and hardworking when facing Rukawa Kaede's attack.
The only advantage in Shokito's offensive end is Rukawa Kaede. After Kaeden Akagi stole two goals on Yuzhu's head, he started to receive restrictions on his singles. After missing a few goals, Mitsui Shou stopped giving Akagi the ball. Katsumiichiro and Muru Koyan, facing Sendo and Nanrei's defenses, had no good offensive opportunities.
Mitsui Shou himself was stared at by Tian Ye alone. Under Tian Ye's defense, Mitsui Shou did not have a chance to shoot, but the risk that the shooting required was too great. They are still a scorer at Xiangbei at present, which is enough for the time being!
The center of the court changed the offense and defense, and Mitsui Shou, who led the ball to Lennan's half, gave the basketball to Rukawa Kaede on the wing before Tiano's defense came. Rukawa Kaede on the side, who received the basketball with one hand, quickly swept the ball, making his body that was originally facing the basket.
In front of Rukawa Kaede, Sakuragi Hanamichi was calm, staring at the basketball in Rukawa Kaede's hand with his eyes, defending without saying a word. Sakuragi Hanamichi's expression was serious, and he exuded a beast-like aura. If the previous Hanamichi was compared to a husky, then the Hanamichi who faced Rukawa Kaede at this moment would be a wolf.
"Ohh, look, it's Rukawa Kaede from Shonoku again!"
"Have Ryonan changed his defensive configuration yet? Obviously that red-haired guy can't defend Rukawa Kaede!"
"The red-haired one is also in the first grade. It should be Lingnan's coach who has the intention of training the first-grade players."
"Although the red-haired boy from Lingnan works hard, it is obviously not enough to rely on hard work in basketball!"
The moment Rukawa Kaede got the basketball, cheers came from the audience, and many viewers showed some interest in the struggle between the first-year players.
"Bang!" Suddenly, Rukawa Kaede started a breakthrough and hit Sakuragi Hanado's chest sideways. The moment Rukawa Kaede started, Sakuragi Hanado reacted, his chest took the initiative to exert force, and his hand reached to the basketball at this time. When the offensive player was recoiled by physical strength, it was the best time to steal!
Such voices are often said when Tianye was training the Hanada. At this moment, Sakuragi Hanada echoed in his mind about what Tianye taught him when he was training. All of them made him subconsciously make the most correct judgment when facing Rukawa Kaede's attack.
"This guy!" Rukawa Kaede was obviously surprised after feeling the power coming from his body. At this moment, Sakuragi Hanamichi's severing ball made him nervous.
"Beautiful!" Tano, who was originally defending Mitsui Shou, also paid attention to the showdown between Hanado and Rukawa Kaede. Seeing that Hanado could even reach out to steal under such circumstances, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but exclaim.
However, Rukawa Kaede was Rukawa Kaede. Although the recoil of Hanada was very strong, Rukawa Kaede did not lose control of the basketball. Rukawa Kaede took the ball and took a sudden blow. The basketball quickly cut back from his hips a few times, avoiding Hanada's steal and re-adjusting his own rhythm.
Just when Hanamichi thought Rukawa Kaede was going to start a breakthrough again, Rukawa Kaede quickly closed the ball in front of Hanamichi, then rolled the basketball out with a beautiful backward.
"Nani?" Hanado didn't expect that Rukawa Kaede would shoot directly. When he reached out to intercept, it was already half a beat late. The basketball quickly passed over his head and steadily plunged into the basket. This was the fourth goal Rukawa Kaede scored on his head. Just eight minutes into the game, Rukawa Kaede scored 8 points on his head alone.
At this time, the total score of the entire Xiangbei High School was only just 18 points. Their Xiangbei was able to hold on to the score tightly without being further expanded, mainly because Rukawa Kaede made too much profit on the head of the Hanamichi.
In order to take care of Sakuragi's self-esteem, Tian Ye deliberately instructed Sendao and Nan Lie not to double-team Rukawa Kaede on the high position.
"Although it's very progressive, the road to go is still long!" Tian Ye walked behind the Hanao and patted the Hanao's back gently, and whispered.
"Damn Rukawa Kaede! I must stop you!" Hanada obviously didn't listen to Tian Ye's words. At this moment, only Rukawa Kaede was left in his eyes, and the fighting spirit in his eyes was also quite strong.
"It seems that whether the Hanada can complete the leap depends on today!" Seeing that Rukawa Kaede seemed to have become Hanada's obsession, Tianno stopped talking about anything. The current situation is very good, Tianno can tolerate Hanada's little willfulness this time. Mainly Tianno also hopes that Hanada can complete its transformation in the duel with Rukawa Kaede!
