So what if you're tall?
So what if it's heavy?
So what if he's tall and strong?
They're all trash compared to the genius Sakuragi Hanamichi!
A contest of strength?
Are you, Mikio Kawata, the rival of the fighting expert and genius Sakuragi Hanamichi?
boom!!!
Just like before, Kawata Mikio rushed into the paint and collided with Sakuragi Hanamichi!
but!
This time, the genius Sakuragi Hanamichi has found the best defensive stance!
Sakuragi Hanamichi lowered his body, just barely blocking Kawata Mikio's attack, perfectly concentrating all his strength to completely shut down Kawata Mikio's offensive.
"Huh? Why has he gotten heavier?"
Kawata Mikio looked puzzled. This wasn't how he felt when he was physically fighting Sakuragi Hanamichi earlier!
How could that red-haired guy become completely different in just one exchange of offense and defense!
Sakuragi Hanamichi's lips curled into a smile as he thought to himself, "I didn't quite get the hang of it the first time, so I was just barely managing to avoid being knocked over. But now, hehehe, getting you stuck is a piece of cake!"
If Sakuragi Hanamichi from another world still can't stop Kawata Mikio, knowing his weakness, he might as well just kill himself!
Sakuragi Hanamichi, the genius, is just like this!
"Mikami! Block the position!"
Masashi Kawata, a powerful center, noticed that his younger brother was not in the best position under the basket, so he urged him on.
Kawada Mikio looked like a child who had done something wrong, his face full of anxiety. He apologized first, "I'm sorry, brother!"
Then Mikio Kawata used all his strength to squeeze Sakuragi Hanamichi.
In the stands, Sendoh Akira's lips curled up as he said, "I'm afraid only Sakuragi Hanamichi could do this level of defense!"
Because Sendoh Akira and Sakuragi Hanamichi were close, Uozumi Jun also had a lot of contact with Sakuragi Hanamichi, the drunkard.
Junya Uozumi exclaimed, "This guy! He's a real oddball! He's so unpredictable!"
At this moment, Kazunari Fukatsu controlled the basketball. He saw that Mikio Kawata was not in the best position, so he hesitated whether to pass the ball to Mikio Kawata.
Only the Sannoh team knows that Mikio Kawata must come to the area under the basket to launch an effective attack.
Kawata Mikio hasn't squeezed into his attack range yet; he's still a step away.
Therefore, passing it on to Mikio Kawata now is not the best option.
"Fukatsu! Pass the ball to me!"
However, Mikio Kawata took the initiative to ask Kazunari Fukatsu for the ball.
There was no way he could accept being defeated in front of his brother; he was determined to defeat the red-haired Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Kazunari Fukatsu hesitated for a moment, but still chose to pass the ball to Mikio Kawata.
Mikio Kawata successfully caught the basketball passed to him by Kazunari Fukatsu, then turned and jumped to shoot.
"Bang!"
The basketball hit the basketball hoop.
It didn't go in.
"Ugh! How awful!"
Mikio Kawata was furious!
Sakuragi Hanamichi's lips curled up: "Kawata, sorry about that! This rebound is mine!"
Immediately afterwards, Sakuragi Hanamichi bent his knees and made a jumping motion.
But just then!
A huge figure jumped before Sakuragi Hanamichi!
White!
Number 7!
It's Masashi Kawata!
Masashi Kawata leaped high into the air!
boom!!!
The basketball was caught in mid-air by Masashi Kawata's right hand and slammed violently towards the basketball hoop!
Aerial relay!
Powerful dunk!
The basketball went into the net smoothly!
Although Kawata Mikio failed to defeat Sakuragi Hanamichi head-on in this round, Kawata Masashi's alley-oop dunk was absolutely stunning.
The score between Shohoku and Sannoh became 21-16.
"I'm sorry, brother!"
Mikio Kawada felt extremely guilty and apologized to his older brother, Masashi Kawada.
Masashi Kawata roared, "Stop apologizing! What's the use of apologizing? Show your fighting spirit! Fight that red-haired guy! What? Do you think you're inferior to him?"
"I'm sorry, brother!"
Mikio Kawata instinctively apologized to Masashi Kawata again, then immediately realized he had said the wrong thing again. His face was full of anxiety as he solemnly promised, "I will try my best!"
Kawada Masashi didn't continue lecturing his younger brother, but instead sighed inwardly, "Did I put too much pressure on him before?"
Having a super outstanding older brother is indeed a very happy thing for many people.
However, sometimes it can become a burden.
The most obvious example is that parents often compare their younger brother to an older brother who is more outstanding: "Look at your older brother, how outstanding he is!"
"Look at your brother, look at what's happened to him now..."
"Look at your brother..."
Mikio Kawata is lucky because he has an exceptionally talented older brother, Masashi Kawata, a nationally renowned center.
However, he was also unfortunate, because his brother's halo was so dazzling that it made him feel suffocated.
At this moment, the Shohoku team launched an attack.
Ryota Miyagi passed the basketball to Kiminobu Kogure, who then passed it to Hisashi Mitsui.
Although Kiminobu Kogure played very few games, he did not rush to shoot and show off, but played very cautiously and steadily.
The guy with glasses is always the one who puts the big picture first.
Kogure's persistence is no joke!
As soon as Mitsui Hisashi got his hands on the basketball, Ichinokura Satoshi raised his defensive level to the highest level.
Mitsui Hisashi's lips curled up: "You think you can defeat our Shohoku team just by holding off me? It's time to show you what Shohoku is truly terrifying!"
Without hesitation, Mitsui Hisashi passed the basketball to Sakuragi Hanamichi!
"Ah! Just as I thought! It really was passed on to Sakuragi Hanamichi!"
"Both teams are really determined to compete under the basket!"
"That's right! Mitsui Hisashi has stopped shooting three-pointers! He passes the ball to Sakuragi Hanamichi as soon as he gets it! The tactic is so obvious!"
"Sakuragi Hanamichi has now become the offensive focus of Shohoku!"
Hearing the gasps from the audience, Ayako Inoue smiled confidently and said proudly, "Coach, our genius Sakuragi Hanamichi has shocked the entire stadium again!"
Coach Anzai flashed his signature smile, a glint in his eyes, and said confidently, "Sakuragi will definitely defeat Kawata Mikio!"
Coach Anzai felt incredibly satisfied watching his students dominate the basketball court!
Of course, most importantly, the genius Sakuragi Hanamichi never disappoints!
At that moment, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who had the basketball, made a feint, which tricked Kawata Mikio into jumping up to block the shot.
Immediately afterwards, Sakuragi Hanamichi bent over and dribbled the ball past Kawata Mikio at high speed!
"Ah! It was just a feint by him?"
Kawada Mikio was utterly shocked, but it was too late.
Because Sakuragi Hanamichi had successfully broken through his defense and reached the basket.
boom!
Sakuragi Hanamichi leaped into the air and slammed the ball down with both hands!
Sakuragi Hanamichi overpowers Kawata Mikio under the basket!
"Wow! It seems that red-haired Sakuragi Hanamichi is still the better one!"
"Yes, yes! During the Sannoh attack just now, it was clear that Sakuragi Hanamichi successfully defended against Kawata Mikio."
"That's right! This time, Sakuragi Hanamichi completely overpowered Kawata Mikio head-on, so Sakuragi Hanamichi is definitely stronger!"
In the audience, Haruko Akagi was overjoyed to hear so many people praising her man, Hanamichi Sakuragi.
Haruko Akagi clenched her fists, her face beaming with happiness: "Hanamichi! You're a genius! You're the best man ever! Keep it up!"
