Chapter 3 Sakuragi's Strength
While Sakuragi and Oda began to fight one-on-one, the four-person group of Sakuragi Legion also came to the gymnasium. In addition to the four-person group, there were many students who came to hear the news. For them who were tired of the quiet campus daily life, this was a big news.
"Kandao! Hanadao! Let's help you! Kill Oda!" After coming to the gymnasium, Takamiya saw Sakuragi and Oda confronting the field at a glance, and the basketball in Sakuragi's hand was automatically ignored by him.
"Uh, haven't you guys all gone back? Why did you come here?" Sakuragi saw the four-person group in the crowd at a glance and asked speechlessly.
"Haha, Hanadao, if you want to duel with Oda, how could we miss it? Of course we have to come and cheer for you!" Da Nan replied with a smile.
"Who told you that I want to duel with Oda? I'm just here to play basketball." Sakuragi quickly explained when she heard a black line.
"Hey, if you see it, I'll just say, Hanadao isn't here to duel Oda?" Mito Yohei said with a headache at Takamiya and Dayan.
"Kando said just now that he is here to play basketball, I probably heard it right?" Before Takamiya and Dayan could say anything, Noma found the focus of Sakuragi's words.
"Yes, yes. Hanado said just now that he was here to play basketball?" Takamiya and Danan also thought of this and looked at Sakuragi in surprise.
"Let me finish with Oda first, and I will tell you later. Oda, don't worry about those guys, let's start, I'm going to get on!" Sakuragi came and explained to the four. It was too troublesome to explain. Let them look at it with their eyes.
"Come on!" Oda ignored the other people who came to join in the fun after hearing Sakuragi say it. The most important thing is to win and lose with Sakuragi in front of him.
Seeing that Sakuragi had already started dribbling and was about to take action, Oda immediately stared at Sakuragi with his eyes tightly, and his body half-squatted down and spread his hands to make a defensive posture.
After Sakuragi saw that Oda was fully prepared, she moved the ball slowly with her hands, carefully observing Oda's movements, and looking for the best way to attack.
"Ba, bha, bha."
Accompanied by Sakuragi's drum beats, everyone in the gymnasium became quiet without realizing it, staring at the two people in the venue, and for a moment, the air inside seemed to condense.
Watching Sakuragi as he dribbled closer, Oda's body immediately tensed up. At this time, Sakuragi gave him a different feeling, his momentum was different from the past, and his eyes were like a cold beast, making him feel like a prey being watched.
"You can't continue like this!" Finally, Oda's heartstrings could no longer tense, and immediately bullied himself. He decided to stop him before Sakuragi launched an offensive.
Seeing Oda's face tense face, he rushed towards him without saying a word.
Sakuragi knew that his chance had come, so he immediately changed the rhythm of dribbling, crossed his hands quickly at one time, and directly lowered his body and approached. Taking advantage of the fact that Oda's position was not stable, Sakuragi's right shoulder shook gently and made a fake move to break to the right.
Sure enough, after seeing Sakuragi's movement, Oda immediately moved his body and reached his hand to the right, and his center of gravity immediately turned completely to the right.
Seeing this, Sakuragi immediately changed direction and quickly broke through from the left.
Oda could only watch Sakuragi pass by his eyes. The moment he reached out, he felt something was wrong, but at that time he had come, he was not in a hurry to stop. He could only bet that Sakuragi really broke through to the right, of course, he was wrong.
After passing Oda, Sakuragi did not hesitate and put the ball into the basket easily with one foot and three steps.
After scoring the goal, Sakuragi took back the basketball that landed, ran back to the middle circle, looked at Oda, who looked a little unnatural, and stretched out a finger and said plainly: "One."
At this time, Sakuragi had a cold expression and focused eyes. Standing there, he exuded a different aura, and he was no longer the simple Sakuragi who could see everything from his face.
"Hmph, one and I will catch it back soon." After hearing Sakuragi's words, Oda certainly would not show any timidity and snorted.
"OK, then I'll continue." Sakuragi said calmly.
"Don't talk nonsense! Come on! I will let you see my true strength." Facing Sakuragi, Oda said in a low voice. You must defend this time!
The onlookers in the gymnasium were watching the two of them at this time. The ball just now surprised them. I didn’t expect Sakuragi to play basketball well?
Sakuragi used the ball and looked at Oda, and found that Oda did not go forward to defend this time, but stayed in the inside line and waited. After hesitating for a while, he did not shoot directly, but chose to continue attacking the inside line, because directly attacking the basket is definitely the most stable way to score. Sakuragi also wanted to use this to see how strong Oda's physical confrontation is.
Seeing Sakuragi rushing into the inside, Oda knew that he had guessed correctly, Sakuragi was indeed not good at long-term shooting.
He felt that people like Sakuragi who had only played basketball for a few months and were rough and tall, would definitely not practice long shots, and would definitely want to play with their physical advantages. In this way, he would definitely win. His position is the center, which is the position that needs physical confrontation the most. He has absolute confidence in defending Sakuragi in the inside.
As Sakuragi entered the inside line, Oda immediately came up close, while holding up his hands high to block Sakuragi's shooting angle.
When she found Oda sticking it up, Sakuragi immediately turned her body, changed to a back posture, leaned against Oda, and tried Oda's power. After knowing Oda's power, Sakuragi suddenly pushed Oda with force behind her back. After feeling that Oda behind her was pushed open, she turned over and jumped up without hesitation.
"Touch." "Swish!"
The ball went out of Sakuragi's hand, hit the rebound, and shot into the net.
Looking at Sakuragi who scored the goal, Oda suddenly felt a little bitter in his heart. He was really miscalculated! Unexpectedly, Sakuragi was so strong that he could be pushed away so easily.
After a while, Sakuragi returned to the middle circle with the ball and raised her hand to signal that she would continue to attack.
"Damn it!" After seeing Sakuragi raise his hand to signal, Oda patted his cheek with both hands and told himself that he must stop the next ball, otherwise how could he be in trouble in the future if so many people look at it?
After the filming, Oda immediately became shocked and set up a defensive position again and waited for Sakuragi's attack.
"Oh? Let me see how much you have?"
Sakuragi was driving the ball, looking at Oda in front of her, and suddenly changed her dribbling routine. While constantly changing hands, she also shook her body left and right, and dribbling the ball under her crotch from time to time.
Oda was a little dazzled by Sakuragi's sudden complicated dribble. He couldn't help but move with Sakuragi's movements, but he was not very panicked.
Seeing that Oda was not panicked, Sakuragi still followed his movements and wanted to intercept the ball. After he went straight to get down and dribble, he took off the long jump while Oda didn't react.
Oda originally thought Sakuragi wanted to make a breakthrough with a dazzling dribble, so he kept focusing on both sides of his body. When Oda found that Sakuragi jumped and shot, he was no longer anxious to stop him. Seeing the ball flying out of Sakuragi's hands, he could only pray that the ball would not enter.
"Swish~"
But he did not do what he wanted. After the ball thrown by Sakuragi drew a wonderful arc in the air, it entered the net with a "swish".
Seeing Oda's annoyed expression, Sakuragi's face showed a smile. The boy is so naive! Do you really think your brother won't go far?
"Oda, it's just a warm-up. You won't be so disappointed, right?" Sakuragi said with a smile.
When Oda heard Sakuragi's words, he felt a little furious. Warm up. Are you lying? Are you lying? He was so serious about fighting and warming up?
"Sakuragi, I admit that I underestimated you at the beginning. I didn't expect you to be so strong. But if you said you were warming up, you would be a little arrogant. You only had three goals, and it wasn't over yet!" Oda looked at Sakuragi with a serious look on his face.
He admitted that Sakuragi was very strong, but he also had his self-esteem. Sakuragi's contempt words aroused his self-esteem.
"Okay, you'll know if you're warming up or not." Sakuragi shrugged. These goals were very good, and Sakuragi's originally tight spirit gradually relaxed.
