“Ahh~~”
“What a pity!”
"You can actually pull up in mid-air, Sakuragi-san, your jumping and staying in the air are really amazing!"
Failed to stop Sakuragi Hanamichi's layup, Kurumiya Sora grabbed his head and shouted in frustration. But after shouting, Kurumiya Sora praised Sakuragi Hanamichi generously.
It seemed that he didn't take Sakuragi Hanamichi's previous ridicule towards him seriously.
And Kurumiya Sora's attitude also made Sakuragi subconsciously respond with a smile: "No, no, hahahaha!"
After saying this, Sakuragi Hanamichi finally stopped smiling, coughed lightly, and said in a serious tone:
"Uh-huh!"
"Even if you compliment this genius, I will not take back what I just said."
"You are not suitable for playing basketball. You will not be able to stay in Xiangbei High School."
Kurumiya Sora waved his hand nonchalantly and said with a smile: "Go, Sakuragi-san, the game continues!"
"This time, I will stop you!"
Kurumi Sora said confidently, his face full of excitement.
"With your level, there is no way you can stop this genius!"
Seeing this, Sakuragi Hanamichi snorted, picked up the basketball and walked towards the three-point line. At this moment, Sakuragi Hanamichi also saw Kiyota Nobunaga and Nango standing on the sidelines watching the game. He did not say hello to them. After Sakuragi arrived at the designated position, he turned around and faced the basket.
While leaning forward slightly, he handed the basketball in his hand to Kurumi Sora, signaling the other party to check the ball.
After seeing the bounce and speed of Kurumiya Sora just now, Kiyota Nobunaga and Nango Koichiro's contempt for him dissipated a little.
With such speed and bounce, he can't be said to be useless as a player.
The one-on-one fight between such a player and Sakuragi Hanamichi aroused some interest in Kiyota and Nango.
Just as Sakuragi Hanamichi and Kurumiya Sora were preparing to continue their bullfight, the players from Shohoku High School also came to the gym one after another. Seeing that Sakuragi seemed to be fighting bullfights with others, they also gathered on the sidelines to watch the game between Sakuragi and Kurumiya Sora.
Rukawa Kaede has also arrived, but he just glanced at the two teams in the game and immediately lost interest. He went to the side of the court to change his clothes.
On the court, after checking the ball, Sora Kurumiya passed it back to Hanamichi Sakuragi.
Sakuragi held the ball high and made a fake shot several meters away from the three-point line. Then he misstepped and the basketball fell.
After a simple feint, Sakuragi Hanamichi accelerated and rushed forward, still heading to the right, and his body was directly attached to Kurumiya Sora when he broke through.
The huge force once again knocked Kurumi Sora away, but Kurumi Sora seemed to be afraid of Sakuragi's physical confrontation. When Sakuragi broke through, he deliberately let go of his position. Although he was knocked away, he still stabilized his body.
Then he quickly turned around and chased after Sakuragi.
After the experience of being almost blocked before, Sakuragi Hanamichi no longer just looked at the basket when breaking through, but deliberately turned his head to glance at Kurumiya Sora's position. Seeing that the opponent was actually following closely behind him, Sakuragi was also a little surprised, and his eyes shrank slightly.
“Bang!”
After approaching the free throw line, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was breaking through quickly, suddenly stopped and pulled the ball back quickly. Then he took a jump shot, which was quite skillful, and Kurumiya, who was sprinting at high speed, missed it. By the time Kurumiya stopped and tried to block the shot, the basketball in Sakuragi Hanamichi's hand had already been thrown out.
In fact, let alone Sakuragi's quick stop and jump shot, with the height difference between Sakuragi Hanamichi and Kurumiya Sora, even if Sakuragi was shooting from a standing position, Kurumiya Sora would have a hard time defending.
The basketball flew out of Sakuragi's hands and fell directly into the basket with a crisp sound. Without any defensive pressure, Sakuragi Hanamichi's quick stop jump shot was already remarkable, and his hit rate was somewhat high.
"Little red-haired monkey, you did a great job! You even made a quick stop jump shot!"
"It looks quite decent now."
After Sakuragi Hanamichi scored a goal, Kiyota Nobunaga praised him in a sarcastic tone. Nango Koichiro beside him also echoed Kiyota and "praised" Sakuragi Hanamichi after Sakuragi Hanamichi scored a goal.
"He was forced to do that!"
"He was almost blocked. Isn't it because he was too scared to attack the basket?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi scored goals one after another, and Kiyota Nobunaga and Nango finally couldn't stand the loneliness and started talking to Sakuragi on the field. Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was just a little happy because of his successful goal, immediately turned ugly when he heard the "taunting" of these two people.
Holding the ball with both hands, he walked towards the three-point line while angrily cursing, "You two losers, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Is a half-talent the kind of person who would be scared? I just don't want this kid to lose too badly!"
When Sakuragi scolded Kiyota and Nango, he was quite broad-minded and directly hit Kuramaya Sora as well. Kiyota and Nango were already used to bickering with Sakuragi, so when they heard this, they were not angry but laughed instead.
However, no one noticed that as Sakuragi became distracted, Kurumi Sora's expression also became a little ugly.
Sora Kurumiya didn't care about the mocking words that Sakuragi Hanamichi had said to him before. During the game, Sora Kurumiya could feel that Sakuragi Hanamichi did not hold back. Because of this, Sora Kurumiya could more or less feel some "respect" from Sakuragi.
Kurumi Sora was very satisfied that his opponent would go all out when facing someone like him.
However, as Kiyota and Nango started talking, Sakuragi's attention would naturally be distracted, which made Kurumiya Sora a little unhappy. Facing such a Sakuragi Hanamichi, he would not feel any pleasure even if he won.
"Sakuragi-san, please continue."
"Next ball."
Sora Kurumiya walked outside the three-point line and urged Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was arguing with Kiyota and Nango, with an expression more serious than ever before.
“... ..”
Sakuragi Hanamichi turned around and glanced at Kurumiya Sora. After checking the ball for the opponent, Sakuragi started his attack.
Without any fancy moves, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who had received formal academic basketball training, used the simplest way to break through. With a digging step to accelerate, and with the help of his absolute physical advantage, Sakuragi Hanamichi once again broke through the defense line of Sora Kurumiya.
This time, as if to prove that he was not afraid, Sakuragi Hanamichi accelerated into the inside after passing Kurama Yari Sora. Then, when he was close to the basket, he grabbed the ball with one hand and jumped directly. At the moment of gliding close to the basket, Sakuragi Hanamichi dunked the ball with one hand and put the ball into the net.
Although Sora Kurumi wanted to block it, Sakuragi Hanamichi was too high when he jumped with all his strength. Although Sora Kurumi had good jumping ability, he was still far behind in blocking Sakuragi's dunk.
With a height of 153cm, Sora Kurumiya has been able to reach up to 310cm at most, which is already a very exaggerated data. However, facing Sakuragi Hanamichi, such a height data is really not enough.
In terms of absolute jumping ability, Sora Kurumiya may not be worse than Hanamichi Sakuragi, but in terms of height and wingspan, he is far behind.
"How's that? Wild monkey, dyed monkey!
”
"Are you still saying that I am afraid?"
After scoring a slam dunk, Sakuragi Hanamichi ignored Sora Kurumiya and shouted directly to Kiyota and Nango outside the court with an excited look on his face.
He thought that his powerful slam dunk would shut up the two bastards, but he never expected that Kiyota Nobunaga would pick his nose casually and sneer nonchalantly when questioned, "It's just a win over an elementary school student, what does that prove?"
"Does that mean you are a little bit better than an elementary school student?"
Kiyota Nobunaga's words made Sakuragi furious. But before Sakuragi Hanamichi could get angry, Kurumiya Sora said to Kiyota Nobunaga: "I'm not an elementary school student..."
"I'm a high school student. I just transferred from Kuzuryu High School to Shohoku today. I'm a freshman and I'm in the same class as Sakuragi."
Kurumiya Sora's words made Kiyota Nobunaga hold his breath. He always thought Kurumiya Sora was an elementary school student. After all, the other party was so short!
"?"
"High school student?"
Kiyota Nobunaga looked stunned, as if he didn't believe the other party. However, after Kurumiya Sora nodded firmly, Kiyota Nobunaga was forced to accept this fact.
But Qingtian would not show weakness:
"So what if he's a high school student?"
“The gap is too big!”
"Red-haired monkey, even if you beat him, you can't prove anything."
Kiyota Nobunaga shouted at Sakuragi, but Sakuragi didn't feel anything when he said it. However, Kurumiya Sora felt very uncomfortable when he heard it.
Taunt... Belittle...
"No matter who it is, seeing a player like me, they will have the same emotion..."
"Don't I really have any chance to prove my own strength?!"
"Does it mean... because I'm short, I can't play basketball and I don't deserve to be looked up to by players of my age?"
"asshole... ."
“There’s no way I’ll give up!
!”
Kurumiya Sora was looking at Kiyota Nobunaga, who was arguing with Sakuragi Hanamichi at the moment and completely ignoring him.
There was one thing that Kurumi Sora was wrong about: the players from Xiangbei High School didn't take him seriously at all!
"Sakuragi-san, keep going. There are still... 5 points left."
With his head lowered, Kurumiya Sora squeezed out these words from between his teeth. Sakuragi Hanamichi heard the voice, stopped arguing with Kiyota Nobunaga, turned his head to look at Kurumiya Sora, and couldn't help asking:
"Do you want to continue? I think you should just give up."
"The gap between us is already obvious. No matter how hard you try, you can't defend against me."
Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at Kurumiya Sora who lowered his head and remained silent, and said kindly.
As the game progressed, many Xiangbei players came to the stadium. They watched the game as if they were watching a monkey show. Among them, the monkey being played was obviously not Sakuragi Hanamichi, right
If there were fewer people, Sakuragi wouldn't mind letting Kurumiya Sora taste the taste of defeat, but with so many people, Sakuragi was a little afraid of hurting the other party's self-esteem.
It can be seen that the young man in front of him is obviously a strong-willed person.
Although Sakuragi often does things without thinking, he still has a strong ability to empathize. In Sora Kurumiya, Sakuragi Hanamichi still felt some qualities in him that were worth protecting.
"give up?"
"How is this possible? I finally transferred to Shohoku High School! How can I give up!?"
"I must become a regular player for Xiangbei. I will prove that people like me can play basketball and play it well!"
"There's no way I'm going to give up!"
Kurumiya Sora raised his head, looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi with a determined face and said these words. Sakuragi opened his mouth, but finally gave up trying to persuade him, picked up the basketball, and walked towards the three-point line.
The surrounding Xiangbei players all heard what Kurumiya Sora said, but they were not moved by Kurumiya Sora's determination and perseverance.
The correct choice
In the talented Xiangbei High School, how can this little guy be qualified to be a starter
Are you looking down on Xiangbei High School
Sakuragi brought the ball to the three-point line and passed it to the opponent for inspection.
At this time, Takeshi Jinguji also arrived at the basketball hall. When he was at the door, Takeshi Jinguji heard Sora Kurumiya's call, and walked into the hall curiously, and happened to see Sakuragi and Sora Kurumiya playing on the court.
Wu Dao didn't know Che Gu Kong, and looked at him with some curiosity.
Rukawa Kaede, who had been warming up on the other side of the court, also came to the back of the crowd and watched the game on the field.
Although Rukawa didn't think that the short guy could beat Sakuragi Hanamichi, he still recognized the other party's persistence. He wanted to see what level the person who said this was.
It's not possible that... he has nothing to do but keeps saying he wants to be a regular in the Xiangbei team, right
"The physical difference is so big, they are not even on the same level."
“Is this kind of bullfighting necessary?”
Wudao saw clearly the two fighting parties in the field, rubbed his hair, and looked at Sakuragi in confusion.
At this moment, after Kurumiya Sora checked the ball, the basketball was already in the hands of Sakuragi Hanamichi.
The moment he got the ball, Sakuragi dropped it again, preparing to accelerate forward.
However, at the moment when Sakuragi Hanamichi dropped the ball, Sora Kurumiya, who was standing thirty centimeters away from Sakuragi Hanamichi, seemed to have predicted the direction of Sakuragi Hanamichi's drop ball. He took a step forward and reached out to hit the basketball.
Kurumiya Sora's speed was very fast. Sakuragi only saw a black shadow flash before his eyes, and the basketball in his hand was knocked down by the opponent.
However, Sakuragi Hanamichi reacted very quickly. The moment the basketball was intercepted, he immediately turned his back to block Kurumiya Sora who was trying to steal the ball, and then took two quick steps towards the basketball and took the ball in his hands first.
After getting the basketball, Sakuragi Hanamichi quickly accelerated and started to break through directly.
But this time, Kurumi Sora was no longer afraid of the confrontation with Sakuragi. He took the lead and stood in Sakuragi's breakthrough path.
Sora Kurumiya was really short, and Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was moving at high speed, bumped into him directly, knocking him to the ground. Although Sora Kurumiya fell, his foot uncontrollably tripped Sakuragi and brought Sakuragi Hanamichi to the ground.
“Plop!”
The players on the sidelines only heard a muffled sound from the field, and Sakuragi Hanamichi fell directly to the ground, and the basketball slipped out of his hands and rolled to the sidelines.
"Sorry... I'm sorry!" Kurumiya Sora sat up and looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi who was lying not far away, and apologized.
At this time, Sakuragi slowly stood up, turned his head and looked at Kurumiya Sora.
"Quick! Stop Sakuragi!"
"This guy is going crazy!"
Before Sakuragi could stand up, he heard several shouts from the sidelines. He turned around in surprise and saw Mito Yohei, Takamiya Nozomi and others rushing towards him. Before he could stand up, Sakuragi Hanamichi was pinned down by Mito and others.
"do what?!"
"Asshole, let me go!"
"Get out of the way, idiot!
”
Sakuragi was suffocated by these guys, and he cursed and struggled to get up, but the more he did so, the tighter Mito Yohei and others held him... ..
"Sakuragi is crazy, hey, that kid, get out of here!"
"Go quickly, a kid like you will be killed by this guy in his hands!"
Yohei and Takamiya controlled Sakuragi while shouting at Kurumiya Sora, leaving Kurumiya Sora completely confused.
“... ..”
"Yohei, let this guy go."
"Sakuragi is already a qualified player, and what you think will not happen."
At this time, Jinguji Budou pushed through the crowd, walked into the field, and spoke to Mito and the others. Budou's appearance also made the surrounding Xiangbei players greet him.
"team leader!"
"Martial Arts Senior!"
"Captain Jinguji."
When the Xiangbei players around him called out to Jinguji Budou, Kurumiya Sora, who was sitting on the ground, looked up at Jinguji Budou who had just walked onto the field, and couldn't help but murmured:
"This person is... Shohoku's ace Jinguji Budo!"
“So high!
”
