Chapter 119 Sakurai Ryo
Chapter 119 Sakurai Ryo
In the afternoon, the match between Tonghuang and Xiude began.
The two sides have Otsubo and Wakamatsu jumping the ball respectively, and the height difference between the two sides is almost the same.
As the referee threw the ball high, the two men took off quickly. Finally, Otsubo used a small advantage to touch the ball first.
I saw Otsubo directly dialing the ball in the direction of Takao. When he saw Wakamatsu failing to jump the ball, Imayoshi quickly came to Takao and did not give Takao a chance to play a fast break.
After Takao caught the ball, he found that not only Imayoshi, but others in Kirito were also in position quickly, so he could only play slowly and steadily.
Takao lowered his center of gravity and suddenly and quickly broke through from the left. However, Imayoshi reacted quickly and blocked Takao's breakthrough route as soon as Takao took action.
What people didn't expect was that although Takao was making a breakthrough, the ball in his hand was passed to Midorima's hands on the outside.
Midorima immediately took off after receiving the ball, and Sakurai, as a speed player, had already reacted as soon as Midorima received the ball.
So when Midorima took off, Sakurai had already taken a step forward, then jumped up and raised his right hand in an attempt to block Midorima's sight.
However, this kind of defense may be of some use to others, but it is destined to be in vain for Midorima, who trains a lot of three-pointers every day.
In this way, Xiudoku greeted Kiriou with Midorima's three-pointer and officially sounded the horn of the game.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Sakurai bowed to his teammates and apologized when he saw that he couldn't stop him.
And Aomine said to Sakurai uncharacteristically: "It's okay, Midorima is really not easy to stop."
"But the opportunity to fight Midorima does not come often. Do you want to give it a try?"
Although Sakurai looks soft and weak, he has a strong desire to win and has long wanted to fight against Midorima, the marksman of the 'Era of Miracles'.
As a player in the same position, facing a person who has always been called the most talented person of his generation, it is difficult not to interest him in challenging.
However, Imayoshi and others were a little surprised. They thought Qingfeng would directly attack the opponent, but they did not expect that he would take the initiative to give up the ball.
But as a teammate, Sakurai is indeed an impeccably good teammate.
So after Imakichi dribbled the ball halfway, he saw Takao staring at him with a serious face, narrowed his eyes and said with a smile:
"There is no need to act desperate. After all, my young general is also very interested in the title of the best marksman of his generation."
Then I saw Imayoshi pass the ball directly to Sakurai, and Takao was also stunned. After playing so many games, it is rare to directly challenge Midorima.
"Put it down, Xiao Lu won't be merciful."
Similarly, Midorima was also surprised that this apologetic mushroom head actually took the initiative to have a one-on-one with him.
But he didn't pay too much attention to it. Although this mushroom head was not bad, it was still far from enough.
Among his peers, the only one who felt pressure for the first time was Reo Minoru from Rakuzan, but since defeating Reo, he was confident that Reo could not catch up, and could only watch the gap between the two getting wider and wider.
But Midorima, who is meticulous in his work, will not underestimate his opponents. There is no possibility of conceding a goal due to carelessness in his world.
Sakurai looked at Midorima in front of him and took a defensive posture, knowing that there would be no chance of letting him go.
So he held the ball and made a breakthrough to test the opponent. However, Midorima's defense was perfect and did not give Sakurai any chance to break through.
"Wow, wow, what a great defense."
Hearing the praise from the audience, Yoshinori Susa ran to Sakurai and reached out for the ball.
"Give it to me, Sakurai."
However, what was unexpected was that in this situation, Sakurai took a deep breath, then jumped up and took action forcefully.
Midorima guarded Sakurai as soon as he made a move. Although he didn't touch the basketball, he forced Sakurai to take action in advance.
"Forced investment?"
Everyone on the field did not expect Sakurai's sudden move and were surprised by his move.
However, after Midorima landed, he turned around and looked at the flight path of the basketball, and gave a rare compliment: "He is really a good shooter."
Then the basketball fell steadily into the basket as Midorima expected.
Takao was a little surprised that Sakurai could score from Midorima: "Such a quick investment?"
Imayoshi on the side slowly gave the answer:
"You can't make a mistake in judgment."
"That guy can't become Kiroh's starter just by shooting fast."
"You must know that Tonghuang is a team that values individual strength first. Everyone has their own strengths in their own position."
"The stronger the opponent, the better Sakurai will be, and the accuracy of his shooting will also increase."
"And as a pitcher, he hates losing more than others, even when facing Midorima."
Even though he knew the surprising timing of Sakurai's attack before the game, Midorima never expected that his opponent would perform even more perfectly against him.
This also made Midorima a little interested in Sakurai's next performance, and the opponent also had Aomine watching covetously from behind.
If he can get enough advantages from Sakurai, it will be much easier to fight later.
So Midorima looked at Takao, and Takao understood Midorima's thoughts when he saw Midorima's appearance.
He nodded and then said to Imayoshi: "I hope your young general can maintain this fighting spirit in the future. After all, Midorima is not a merciful person."
So then the two sides began to exchange three-point rain.
The difference is that no one can guess when Midorima will take action, which makes Sakurai have to follow Midorima all the time, spending more energy in vain but still unable to stop Midorima.
Midorima, on the other hand, was meticulous in his defensive movements, and his defense was watertight, which caused great trouble for Sakurai's shots.
Forced Sakurai can only choose to take risks in most cases - forcefully attack. However, even if Sakurai wants to take him by surprise, most of his attacks are still blocked by Midorima.
So in this three-pointer duel, Midorima won without any surprise, and the score between the two sides gradually expanded to 27:12.
But even so, Emperor Kiri didn't ask Sakurai to give up this duel.
Imayoshi and others understood that the only way to stop Midorima was Aomine, and although their young player was at a disadvantage in this duel, he was not without progress, at least his movements were becoming more streamlined.
Aomine, on the other hand, respects other people's duels. Before Sakurai admits defeat, Aomine doesn't want to disturb them.
As for the score gap, Qingfeng is also confident of catching up.
