Sakuragi Hanamichi stood still, clutching the basketball tightly, his face full of excitement.
That was awesome! Awesome!
That's Sakuragi Hanamichi's terrifying physical abilities! He actually threw Ikegami Ryoji flying!
Cool!
Sakuragi Hanamichi was excited, but everyone around him was dumbfounded!
No one has ever seen anyone on a basketball court throw their opponent out of the game while vying for the ball!
What's going on? You think this is judo? You can just throw someone away in the blink of an eye?
Even Jun Uozumi, with his fierce-looking appearance and 202cm height, was dumbfounded. "This Sakuragi Hanamichi is a monster. His amazing jumping ability just now was already unbelievable, and now he's actually thrown Koshino away..."
Kogure Kiminobu, Yasuda Yasuharu, and the others rushed to Sakuragi Hanamichi's side to congratulate him on grabbing the crucial rebound. "Sakuragi, you're amazing! That rebound was fantastic!"
Coach Taoka, watching from the sidelines, grew increasingly anxious. He couldn't let Sakuragi Hanamichi continue causing trouble, or who knows what other problems might arise.
Coach Taoka called Jun Uozumi over and instructed him, "Uozumi, you must now suppress Sakuragi Hanamichi under the backboard. Have you noticed? Although his jumping ability is very strong, some of his basic basketball skills are still weak. So you must position yourself well under the backboard and keep him on the outside."
At this point, Coach Taoka thought of Sakuragi Hanamichi's disgusting butt-butt kill move and added, "Also, whatever you do, don't stand behind him. You have to find a way to stand in front of him and block his position to strike first!"
Jun Uozumi nodded heavily and looked at Hanamichi Sakuragi seriously.
Sakuragi Hanamichi, this basketball rookie, is really hard to figure out, but no matter what, a basketball rookie is still a basketball rookie. He still has a long way to go in terms of basic skills and game experience!
At this moment, the referee said, "Now it's time for Shohoku's number 10 and Ryonan's number 6 to compete for the ball."
Both teams immediately took their positions and continued the game.
As the referee tossed the basketball, Sakuragi Hanamichi caught it without any doubt.
After Sakuragi Hanamichi grabbed the basketball, he immediately passed it to Kogure Kiminobu.
After receiving the basketball, Kiminobu Kogure shouted, "Everyone, stay calm! We're only 5 points behind now. If we keep pushing, we can catch up!"
The Shohoku team members shouted, "Go for it!"
Since Ryonan was on the defensive, their players arrived at the defensive zone first, with Jun Uozumi reaching the backboard earlier than Hanamichi Sakuragi.
Sakuragi Hanamichi approached the backboard with a beaming smile. Clearly, he was still basking in the joy of grabbing that rebound—a rebound he had snatched right under the noses of Uozumi Jun and Sendoh Akira! He couldn't have been more proud of it!
Huh?
etc!
Something's not right with Uozumi!
Sakuragi Hanamichi suddenly noticed something was wrong!
Previously, when he and Jun Uozumi were battling under the basket, they would determine their positioning based on the direction of the basketball.
When playing basketball, you always need to keep an eye on who has the ball, where it will be passed from, and which direction your teammates will shoot from, so you can position yourself under the backboard based on the direction of the ball.
But this time is different!
As soon as Sakuragi Hanamichi reached the area under the backboard, Uozumi Jun turned his back to him, blocking Sakuragi's path and preventing him from reaching the key position under the backboard!
Sakuragi Hanamichi glared at him and said, "Uozumi, what are you doing? The ball is still in midfield, why are you squeezing in like that?"
Jun Uozumi completely ignored Hanamichi Sakuragi, continuing to hold his position firmly and preventing Sakuragi from entering the core area under the backboard.
"Damn it! Uozumi, are you scared? Are you worried about not being able to get the rebounds?" Sakuragi Hanamichi mocked.
Jun Uozumi scoffed, "Afraid of you? With your basketball novice skills?"
Sakuragi Hanamichi said sarcastically, "Yeah, yeah, it was me, a basketball novice, who just grabbed a crucial rebound right under your and Sendoh Akira's noses. Don't you think so?"
Jun Uozumi wasn't angry at all, and said coldly, "Just lucky. If you're so capable, show me how to grab another rebound this time."
As Jun Uozumi spoke, he kept moving left and right, giving Hanamichi Sakuragi no chance to enter the core area under the backboard.
At this moment, Sakuragi Hanamichi also understood Uozumi Jun's intention.
Looking at Jun Uozumi's retreating figure, Hanamichi Sakuragi was in a bit of a dilemma!
If he were standing directly in front of Jun Uozumi, he could use his "butt-butt kill" to annoy Jun Uozumi, but now that Jun Uozumi is attacking him from behind, it's a bit difficult to deal with!
If you can't get into a good position, even if you have a great jumping ability, your chances of getting the rebound will be much lower.
As for that basketball rebound just now, to be honest, luck played a big part too. Otherwise, if Jun Uozumi and Akira Sendoh had jumped from advantageous positions, the probability of them getting the rebound would have been much higher. Maybe it was because Kaede Rukawa was there holding back Akira Sendoh and Jun Uozumi that gave Hanamichi Sakuragi the opportunity to get the rebound.
At this moment, Sakuragi Hanamichi frowned.
What should we do now?
Suddenly, Sakuragi Hanamichi's gaze fell on a spot behind Uozumi Jun.
Perhaps we could give it a try?
It seems like it really can...
Sakuragi Hanamichi gave a wicked smile, thinking to himself, "Uozumi, if this move comes from behind, it'll be quite a treat! Get ready for my ultimate attack! I guarantee you'll feel amazing~ Hehehe..."
Sakuragi Hanamichi glanced at Uozumi Jun's position, then immediately turned around, aimed at the spot, and didn't forget to look back one last time.
Yes, the position is correct!
Immediately afterwards, Sakuragi Hanamichi unleashed his signature "butt kill" move!
Electric mini motor, let's go!
Da da da!
Boom boom boom!
With a hiss!
Jun Uozumi shuddered!
Immediately afterwards, Jun Uozumi got goosebumps all over his body!
Jun Uozumi turned his head to look in disbelief.
Sakuragi Hanamichi was seen with his back to Uozumi Jun, relentlessly ramming into him.
Jun Uozumi roared, "Ah!!! Sakuragi Hanamichi! You bastard! What are you doing? Stop it right now!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi said innocently, "Captain Uozumi, what's wrong? Why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell? If you're not feeling well, you should go off the court and rest..."
