Two minutes later, the players on both sides were ready and came to the middle circle to gather.

At this time, the yellow team (yellow vest) lineup of Sakuragi's side is: Sakuragi No. 9, Sakuragi No. 6, Shiraishi No. 15, Maeda No. 11 and Kakuda No. 10, second graders.

The Red Team (red vest) lineup on Rukawa is: Rukawa No. 13, Ishida No. 12, Sasaoka No. 22, Yamaguchi No. 16 and Yasuda No. 5, who is second grade.

Seeing that the players on both sides were standing in place, Akagi walked to the middle of Sakuragi and Rukawa who were preparing to jump the ball and said, "Are you ready? I'm going to kick off the ball."

"Rukawa should not lose too fast, that would be too boring." Hearing Akagi say he was about to start, Sakuragi quickly bent down and squatted to jump the ball, and at the same time he did not forget to say a few trash words to Rukawa.

"Hmph, you will lose a lot." Rukawa snorted coldly. Although he was a person who didn't like to talk, every time he met Sakuragi, a hateful guy (in his eyes), he wouldn't help but quarrel with him.

"Okay, you both shut up and start." Seeing the two of you quarrel again, Akagi really had a headache. He was looking forward to the first-grade Gemini combination of Sakuragi and Rukawa this year, but he didn't expect that these two people were born to conflict and could not get along well.

Beep!

Akagi didn't want them to continue anymore, so he signaled and blew the whistle directly and threw the ball out.

call!

Although Sakuragi Rukawa and the others were quarreling, they were all focused on Akagi. When they saw Akagi throwing the ball, they exerted force almost at the same time, flew up, and held up with one hand and headed straight for the basketball.

Bang!

Relying on his height advantage and bounce, Sakuragi took the lead in racquetting the ball. After hitting the ground, the ball rebounded and bounced into the hands of Kurada, who was standing nearby.

Santian was stunned when he got the ball. He didn't expect the ball to come so simply.

"Quick attack!"

However, Sakuragi was not stunned. After landing, he flew forward and shouted at the dazed Sakurada.

Seeing that Sakuragi had already rushed out first, Sakuragi without saying a word and directly passed the ball in his hand towards Sakuragi.

Bang!

After receiving a pass from Kuanta, Sakuragi immediately dribbled towards the Red Team's basket. At this time, the Red Team only had Rukawa and Yasuda back to defend the basket.

"Come on, Sakuragi, I won't let you in." Seeing Sakuragi dribble over, Yasuda didn't have the consciousness of being a supporting role at all, and came to defend Sakuragi before Rukawa.

Sakuragi didn't take Yasuda's defense seriously at all. He dribbled quickly with a quick hand-changing dribble, and a lower body accelerated, and directly flashed past Yasuda.

So fast! Yasuda's eyes flashed before him and found that the sakuragi in front of him was gone.

When Rukawa saw Sakuragi breaking through Yasuda, his body tightened and moved his footsteps quickly to repair the defense of Sakuragi. At the same time, he secretly hated Yasuda in his heart that it was so troublesome that he had asked him to go up to defend, so he would not be so easily broken through. Now Sakuragi's speed has increased, and going up to defend will block the foul.

When Sakuragi saw Rukawa coming, he had no idea to dodge. He jumped directly at three steps and also deliberately leaned towards Rukawa.

Seeing that Sakuragi wanted to cheat and foul, Rukawa certainly wouldn't let him succeed, so he just gave up his body. Isn't it just a goal? I'll catch it back immediately.

Seeing Rukawa avoided, Sakuragi said to himself, you are smart, and then threw the ball in his hand directly.

Swish!

Basketball was hollowed out and the Yellow team led by two points.

"Good job, Sakuragi!"

"nice shot……"

“…”

Seeing Sakuragi scored, the Huang team members immediately cheered.

But Sakuragi ignored them because Haruko was also cheering for him. Of course he was going to say hello to Haruko. He waved to Haruko, and then went back to his half to defend.

Ball rights conversion, Red team attacks.

"Pass!"

After Yasuda dribbles halfway through, Rukawa immediately reached out to ask for the ball.

When he saw that Rukawa was asking for the ball, Yasuda passed the ball directly to Rukawa without hesitation.

When Sakuragi saw Rukawa making a sound to ask for the ball, he left and came out of the inside line and prepared to defend Rukawa.

However, Rukawa did not give Sakuragi any chance. After receiving the pass from Yasuda, he jumped on the spot without hesitation and made a three-pointer.

"Uh..." Sakuragi saw that Rukawa was not prepared at all, so she directly made a three-pointer and was speechless for a while. Can this be made so casually? Boy, can you scare me?

Swish!

However, the reality is different from what Sakuragi imagined. Rukawa's three-pointer this time made the net directly. The Red Team overtook the score 3-2.

"Hmph!" Seeing Sakuragi's a little surprised expression, Rukawa snorted coldly, and went back to defend without saying anything.

Sakuragi would not know that after losing that practice match, he doubled all his original training volume. In a few months, he has been many times stronger than before.

"Tsk!" Seeing Rukawa turning around and leaving like a proud rooster, Sakuragi immediately curled his lips. Didn't he just enter a three-pointer? Is it so amazing?

However, no matter how much he complained, Sakuragi was also alert to Rukawa in his heart. He had not fought seriously for more than three months after the practice competition between Rukawa. Who knows how strong Rukawa is now?

After all, Sakuragi, who had never been exposed to basketball in the original SD, became a master in just three months. How much will Rukawa grow in three months, which is similar to Sakuragi's talent? It is indeed difficult to estimate. (PS: Sakuragi's strength in the national competition can really be considered a master.)

"Mangda, give me the ball." Seeing that Mangda was going to dribble for half the game, Sakuragi directly wanted the fairway. He decided to check whether his guess was correct and see how much Rukawa grew.

"Oh...oh" As soon as she saw Sakuragi asking for the ball, Sanda didn't dare to say much, so she passed the ball directly to Sakuragi.

After receiving the pass, Sakuragi dribbled the ball through half the court, dribbled the ball while looking at the Red Team's defensive formation.

The Red Team is now a typical example of no routine. All the people are concentrated in the inside line, waiting for the attack to arrive. So Sakuragi waved to Rukawa, saying that she wanted to fight him one-on-one.

"Um?"

Seeing Sakuragi's actions, Rukawa suddenly became angry and his fighting spirit was boiling. Without saying a word, he came out of the inside and walked towards Sakuragi.

When Sakuragi saw Rukawa coming out, he was not in a hurry. He waited until Rukawa reached the best defensive position before he bent down to dribble the ball and was ready to launch an attack.

"Hmph!" Seeing Sakuragi so arrogant, Rukawa immediately looked cold, he opened his hands and stared at Sakuragi's movements with all his attention. He must guard against him today!

"Ba, bha"

Sakuragi and Rukawa looked at each other's eyes, and suddenly Sakuragi lowered his body, and the basketball hit the ground twice in a small way, and took a step to the right, which was a low-level breakthrough.

Seeing that Sakuragi was about to break through, Rukawa didn't dare to be careless, and immediately moved to block Sakuragi's breakthrough route.

Although Rukawa was stuck in the best breakthrough route, Sakuragi did not intend to change the rhythm. He forced himself to rush into the inside with his body leaning against Rukawa's view.

However, Rukawa is not a vegetarian. The three-month strengthening training has improved his physical ability to fight. Sakuragi did not forcefully break through as he wished, but was forced to the bottom corner on the right by Rukawa.

Sakuragi was helpless with the one-handed dribbling beside her. She didn't have much time to attack, and it was no longer possible to pass the ball out to find a second offensive opportunity. So Sakuragi did not hesitate and made a fake move of rushing forward, then took off directly, leaned back, and threw the ball out.

Although Rukawa pushed Sakuragi to the bottom corner at this time, he did not relax his vigilance, so he was a little nervous. After seeing Sakuragi's fake moves, he subconsciously hesitated for a while. When he found that Sakuragi was about to tilt backwards, he was already a beat slower when he went to intercept, but he did not give up. Although he couldn't stop the ball, he still covered Sakuragi's eyes with his palms.

Bang!

Sakuragi's shot this time was not smooth because the bottom corner was his worst position and was blocked by Rukawa's eyes. So when the ball hit the basket, he really jumped. Didn't make the ball?

Swish!

However, Sakuragi's luck was still good. After the ball hit the basket, it bounced directly into the Nets. The Yellow team led 4-3 again.

"Hu." Seeing the ball in, Sakuragi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Rukawa, "Haha, it seems that I'm lucky."

"Hmph! Dog luck!" Sakuragi scored all this and Rukawa was really injured. He said I was unhappy.

Sakuragi and Rukawa had a very exciting match just now. Ki Mu, who did not participate in the competition on the sidelines, was very impressed. After seeing Sakuragi scored, he also smiled and said to Fusaki on the side: "Haha, Shokuto is really going to rise this year. With Sakuragi and Rukawa, the national competition will no longer be a dream."

"Yeah." Chaozaki nodded with certainty. He was also shocked by the high-level fight between the two just now. Nowadays, the first-year high school level is at this level. How can I survive in the future?

"Haha, it's indeed a high level." At this time, Coach Anxi, who was always as stable as Mount Tai, also smiled and said. The back of the glasses was even more shiny, as if he had seen some treasure.

When Mu Mu and Chaozaki heard this, they immediately looked at Anxi, as if they wanted him to explain something.

"Scared~"

However, Anxi didn't seem to have any idea of ​​saying anything more. He ignored the eyes of the two and drank tea on his own.
Chapter completed!
