When Xiangbei was preparing to play, Xiangyang on the other side was also making final preparations.

"Today is the first game, don't take it lightly... Xiangbei is a very powerful team." The coach of Xiangyang is their captain Fujima. At this time, he is also giving the final lecture to the players. "After winning this game, we will definitely be as imposing as the NO.1 in the county this year! So come on! Okay, the game is about to begin, show off our momentum, go ahead!"

After being suppressed by Amu from Hainan for two consecutive years, Fujima was certainly unwilling to give up, so he hoped to defeat Xiangbei today and then go all the way until he defeated Hainan. In his opinion, Xiangbei's strength this year is qualified to be the first test stone in Xiangyang!

"Yes!" ×5.

Hua Xing and the other five people replied loudly with excitement, and then turned around and acted. They were obviously stimulated by the words NO.1.

"The match between Xiangyang High School and Xiangbei High School began!"

The referee saw that the players from both sides had entered the field, so he also signaled the start of the game and then walked towards the center circle with the ball.

...

When the referee and Xiangyang entered the court, everyone in Xiangbei had already taken the lead in standing near the central circle.

"Ito! Ito..."

"Takano! Takano..."

"Naono!Naono..."

"Hassegawa! Hasegawa..."

"Flower shape! Flower shape! Flower shape..."

While Xiangyang entered the court, their cheerleaders in the stands also called everyone's name like stars entering the court.

"Uh~" Sakuragi said he was speechless. Looking at the Xiangyang people who were walking towards them with a slutty look on their faces, he spread his hands and said to Miyagi beside him: "Good fields, it's really cool. It seems that we must dominate the country this year. In this way, we can also recruit more people to the basketball department next year. If you can't play, it's good to be a cheerleader team..."

Miyagi: "...".

Fujima from Shoyang still didn't play as in the original work, and Sakuragi didn't say anything. After all, although he played in the game, his performance was average, and he was an excellent defensive player and the inside gate. So Fujima misjudged Shokube's strength.

Because Xiangyang has four tall men over 1.9 meters tall, known as the "four masters", what they most assured is the inside, so if Xiangbei and Xiangyang compete in the inside, they will be in the face of Xiangyang.

After Xiangyang and everyone entered the court, the two sides said hello to each other and the game officially began.

At this time, the other players on both sides had already stood in place and were ready to pay attention to Akagi and Huashi, who were preparing to jump the ball in the middle circle.

The two are the same tall. Although the flower-shaped faces look much more beautiful than the gorilla, this will not affect the outcome of the jump between them.

"Beep!"

At this time, the referee finally blew the whistle and threw the ball.

"Roar!" ×2.

When Akagi and Huaying saw the basketball take off, they immediately jumped up and reached out to the basketball racket in the air. The two who jumped the ball hoped to use victory to increase their momentum, so it seemed that there must be a battle between dragons and tigers!

"Bang!"

Yes... It was very surprising that Akagi easily took the ball.

After the basketball was shot by Akagi, it flew directly toward Mitsui.

When Mitsui saw the basketball coming, he immediately reached out and successfully took the ball into his hand. Xiangbei got the first move!

"Beep!"

"White Team No. 4, jumping ball foul."

"Xiangyang ball rights."

However, just as Mitsui was about to take the ball to attack, the referee's penalty sounded. Akagi jumped the ball just now and seemed to be anxious. He took action before the ball reached the highest point, and the ball became Xiangyang's.

"Hey! Senior Akagi..." Sakuragi was really helpless and wanted to complain about Akagi, but he finally endured it. Well, Akagi had the opportunity to stand in front of the prefecture's hero Xiangyang for the first time in three years to challenge, so he was inevitably a little nervous, so Sakuragi stopped talking and turned back to defend.

But as the game continued, Sakuragi suddenly realized that the plot was wrong! Didn’t it be agreed that I would give them a warning first? What’s the situation now? I can’t get the ball! What’s the point! I can’t even get the magic!

After today's game started, the audience seemed to be a little out of shape for the players in Xiangbei.

First, Akagi was successfully broken by Huashi twice when facing a single match. Then when Shonoki held the ball and counterattacked, Miyagi's pass was intercepted by several big tall men from the opponent, thus losing the ball rights.

"Serve me!"

Shoyo scored another goal, and the score reached 0:8. Sakuragi said he couldn't bear it anymore. He went straight forward and signaled to Mitsui who served at the bottom line to send the ball to him.

"Well……"

After a little hesitation, Mitsui still sent the ball to Sakuragi. After all, Sakuragi is now the ace in the team, and Miyagi, who is only 168cm tall, is really not feeling well against Ito, who is 180cm tall.

After receiving Mitsui's pass, Sakuragi dribbled forward calmly, and stretched out a finger and said loudly: "Yo Xi, this ball will definitely go in!"

Language provocation is also a kind of trash talk, which may make the defense players feel impatient. At the same time, speaking this from the ace in the team can also stabilize the morale of one's own side.

"hateful!"

Seeing that Sakuragi, a first-year-old, dared to be so arrogant, both Fujima off the court and Shoyang players on the court all looked cold and looked at Sakuragi with a chill look on his face. Takano, who was responsible for defending Sakuragi, was even more angry. Before Sakuragi dribble, he rushed towards Sakuragi directly. It seemed that he was going to go forward directly to defend Sakuragi.

Speaking of which, Shoyo's position and defensive allocation are also very interesting. The shortest height Ito (180) serves as the point guard, and then Hasegawa (190) point guard, Nagano (191) small forward, Takano (193) power forward, and Hana (197) center determine the position completely based on their respective heights.

The defensive matchup is even simpler, that is, the point guard against the opponent's point guard, the point guard against the opponent's point guard, and so on, there is no change in tactical skills at all. It really makes people doubt Coach Xiangyang - Fujima's ability, has he arranged his tactics well?!

"Ba~ba~ba~ba~ba~"

The game continued, Sakuragi controlled the ball and observed Shoyo's defense.

Looking at Takano who came in front of him, Sakuragi smiled in her heart. It seemed that this young man was impatient, and this was good news!

Thinking of this, Sakuragi immediately took action, leaned her body to the left, and made a simple fake move. However, even such a simple fake move, Takano was still fooled!

Now, Sakuragi would not miss this good opportunity. She slapped her left hand and changed hands, handed the ball to her right hand, and then lowered her body and started it successfully passed Takano.

At this time, the disadvantage of Takayasu's tall horse and big horse was also reflected, that is, his turn was slow. When he turned around and wanted to make up for defense, Sakuragi had already broken into the Xiangyang penalty area.

The others of Xiangyang obviously didn't expect that Takano would be passed so easily. When they came back to their senses, they wanted to make up for the defense, but how could their speed be as fast as Sakuragi who took the lead! So Sakuragi calmly broke into the basket and successfully dunked.

2:8, Xiangbei scored his first goal after the opening game!

"Ahhhhhhhh!"

“…”

Seeing Sakuragi scored a goal, the few viewers who supported Shokube were even more crazy and cheered for Sakuragi. They had been watching the audience who supported Shokuyang cheering, and they felt so frustrated. Now they finally had the opportunity to vent, especially Haruko and Sakuragi Legion in the stands shouting Sakuragi's name for his support.

"Yoxi, I said I'll score! Haha..." After scoring the goal, Sakuragi sneered at Takano, then laughed and turned around and ran back to Xiangbei's half.

Make your opponent more angry and lose your usual sanity. This is also a kind of basketball tactics!

"Damn it! Stinky little guy..."

Faced with Sakuragi's ridicule, Takano was even more crazy. At this time, he swore in his heart that he would teach Sakuragi a lesson with the next goal.

After Xiangbei broke the goal drought, on the way back to defense, Mitsui excitedly slapped Sakuragi's butt and said, "Sakuragi, it's a good job." (Fortunately, the ball I sent to you was not in vain!)

"Sakuragi, it's done well!" ×2.

Akagi and Miyagi praised the other two, as for the always arrogant Rukawa classmate, just gestured for his eyes.

"Senior Akagi, Liangda..." It's okay for Akagi and the others to stop talking. As soon as they spoke, Sakuragi really couldn't help but complain about them this time: "Are you two too nervous today? Or did you play too much before the game and you couldn't have the physical strength? Hanashi and Ito shouldn't be able to defeat you? But why can't you even exert 50% of your strength? I think you'd better go to rest..."

Thinking that Akagi and others in the original work were able to perform well because of Rukawa's indirect stimulation, Sakuragi simply opened his mouth and actively stimulated Akagi and the others.

In Sakuragi's opinion, the words of Mitsui and Rukawa should be fine. Judging from Mitsui's expression, he should have heard Hasegawa say that he would suppress him in the toilet like the original work, so now he is very motivated and is determined to make Hasegawa look good. As for Rukawa, he has no idea what nervousness is, but he has no ball rights to attack before.

Sure enough, Akagi and Miyagi, when they heard Sakuragi's words, their faces turned dark and they shouted at Sakuragi: "Sakuragi, you have this attitude towards seniors! What's so arrogant about just scoring a goal!" "Yes! He actually called me Liangda, I'm a senior!"

"Sweat..." Faced with the criticism of the two, Sakuragi sighed helplessly, and then turned around and ignored Akagi and his two eyes that were about to be squirting. He knew that this was enough. With Akagi and Miyagi's self-esteem, this stimulation would definitely not be nervous anymore and could exert their normal strength.

"Hey, it's still the game. Stop arguing, Xiangyang is coming." Mitsui, who was standing beside him, saw the three of them quarreling and quickly signaled that Xiangyang was going to attack and prepare for defense.

After Mitsui's reminder, Akagi and Miyagi also noticed that Shoyo was about to attack, so they gave up on their plan to continue teaching Sakuragi's lessons and turned their attention back to the game.

… (PS: In the original work, the referee does not blow the whistle and feels not used to it, so I added it.)
Chapter completed!
