The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master

"Hahahaha! Xiangyang's No. 13 is finally out!"

"Come on, No. 13! I'm waiting for you!"

"There are still 6 seconds left, one is coming on the 13th!"

"Lin Dong! Lin Dong! Lin Dong!"

Boom, boom, boom!

The cheers from the entire stadium were accompanied by the tapping of empty bottles by the Xiangyang cheerleaders.

Xiangyang and all the main players on the field felt dumbfounded.

Lin Dongjun's popularity is really incomparable. How can he be like a newcomer who just played 10 minutes in the county competition? It feels like he is even more popular than Fujima, who was once a friend of women. This is a killing of men, women, old and young.

Nagano walked to the sidelines and replaced Lin Dong.

Fujima walked to the baseline and picked up the ball, with a helpless smile on his face.

Xiangbei is indeed tenacious enough.

However, although the gentleman's agreement with Lin Dong was lost, it was not all bad, because these three quarters of the game also exposed many of Xiangyang's current problems.

Hanagata is not strong enough at the basket. Although the offensive end is fine, in the matchup with Takenori Akagi, the defense and deterrence at the basket are still not strong enough.

If you want to become a first-class center in the country and face top-class opponents in national competitions, this aspect must be strengthened, otherwise it will inevitably become a huge hidden danger and loophole for Xiangyang in national competitions.

Nagano and Takano also had many problems with their running positions. They were always one step too slow. Not only were they twice given defensive fouls by Miyagi, but they were even reluctant to cover for Kaede Rukawa's breakthrough. Their speed was too slow and their consciousness was too low. It’s not early enough. It’s so tight when facing strong prefectural teams in Kanagawa. So if the opponent is a strong team in the national competition...

Hasegawa's defense is no problem, and his physical strength is not a big problem, but he lacks a little aggressiveness and easily falls into self-doubt, which in turn leads to stiff defensive actions.

Otherwise, with his defensive skills, even if Hisashi Mitsui enters a state of no solution, he should not be allowed to score several three-pointers in the second half.

And I... shouldn't sit on the bench. Watching for a long time will make my hands feel cold. This will affect the rhythm of entering the state and then slow down the rhythm of the whole team.

The failure of the gentleman's agreement with Lin Dong was worth it in the end in exchange for the exposure of these problems.

The semi-finals are still one month away, and the national competition is still three months away. Xiangyang has plenty of time to adjust.

At this moment, not only the enthusiasm of the audience in the arena, but also the five tigers in northern Hunan were finally tightened up.

"Beware of him!" Takenori Akagi slapped his hand fiercely.

My basketball dream of dominating the country may end today because of the man in front of me.

But at least, before leaving, he must complete a face-to-face meeting with this man.

Even if we must gather the strength of the whole team and leave others alone, we still have to stop this man once!

"Okay gorilla!"

"Cheer up!" Miyagi Ryota shouted.

Although Mitsui Hisashi was exhausted, he still took a deep breath and held his thighs to position himself in the defensive area.

Rukawa Kaede seemed to be resurrected, standing in front of Lin Dong.

"Two steps."

Akira Sendō in the stands stared intently at the final showdown: "That proud guy Rukawa Kaede actually reserved two steps of defensive space this time..."

The corners of Mu Shenyi's mouth also turned up slightly. Rukawa Feng, who had found his rhythm again, was obviously different from when he was eaten alive by Lin Dong one after another.

Reserve two steps of space to prevent the opponent from breaking through.

With such a huge space reserved, it is of course very easy to crack. Whether you choose to shoot directly or pass the ball, the defender has almost no way.

But the current duel has nothing to do with winning or losing the game. Rukawa Kaede is both motivating and gambling.

Bet on what choice number 13 will make!

Pass the ball? Shooting? Or give in two steps and have a final confrontation with Rukawa Kaede?

"Should you choose to ignore it? Or give that guy a chance for redemption?" Mu Shen looked at Xiangyang's No. 13 with deep interest in his eyes.

The strong may not care about the screams of the weak, but that is just a strong person.

The king will give everyone a chance to challenge, because he is always looking forward to more challenges, and even does not hesitate to train a challenger for himself!

Even if such a challenge may not be fair, this is the choice of a king!

Is this guy just a super rookie, or a king who can truly threaten him? This ball will give the answer.

Shh!

Fujima served from the baseline, and the basketball was handed over to Lin Dong's hands without any suspense.

Rukawa Kaede's eyes were frighteningly cold at this time. He stretched out his hands, his center of gravity was very low, and all the muscles in his body were in a state of preparation. He stared at Lin Dong without blinking.

Although he had already begun to feel tired before, he felt that his condition at this moment was actually better than ever, and his concentration was unprecedentedly concentrated.

Then he saw the calmness on No. 13's face again.

Although there were only six seconds left, Lin Dong still dribbled the ball normally through half the court.

There are 3 seconds left on the clock.

Facing Rukawa Kaede who was two steps away from him, Lin Dong smiled slightly.

Rukawa Kaede said in a deep voice: "Come on!"

call!

Lin Dong's center of gravity suddenly pressed down, and his seemingly relaxed body suddenly let go of a taut bowstring at this moment, and he rushed out toward Rukawa Kaede's right front.

"here we go!"

Mu Shenyi's eyes flashed slightly, and the guy's choice did not disappoint him.

Rukawa Kaede's pupils suddenly shrank at this moment.

The opponent's speed became faster than when he faced him in the first quarter, and the impact seemed to be greater!

Stop him!

Stop him no matter what!

Adrenaline was secreted crazily at this moment, and Rukawa Kaede's body suddenly started to work like a gear that was wound up.

Under the intense concentration and emotion, the speed at this moment has exceeded his own limit.

With only one step laterally, Lin Dong was firmly and completely intercepted on Lin Dong's breakthrough route. If he rushed forward with the ball, an offensive foul would inevitably be inevitable.

But the next second, Rukawa Kaede saw the guy's body turning like a top.

The right hand dribbling changed to the left hand, and the breakthrough direction also rushed to the left.

Under such impact and speed, he can still change his center of gravity with ease and make such movements.

This only shows that he can actually be faster!

Is this the true strength of No. 13?

Fortunately, there was a two-step position reserved in advance, leaving enough room for Rukawa Kaede to respond.

Rukawa Kaede also followed suit and changed direction, shifting his center of gravity from the right to the left.

There are 2 seconds left on the electronic scoreboard.

But before he could completely stabilize this sudden change of center of gravity, the dribble that Lin Dong had just transferred to his left hand made a large lateral movement. After the basketball hit the ground, it pulled out a large angle of nearly 150 degrees in front of him, and once again changed to Dribbling with the right hand, the center of gravity of the body changes again.

At this time, the distance between them was only half a step.

Rukawa Kaede gritted his teeth and forced his center of gravity back to the left again.

This time, his feet staggered a little, but immediately after, he saw an incredible third shift in the center of gravity.

In less than a second, the opponent only dribbled the ball twice, but he had already made three changes of direction!

This is not a fake shot...

Rukawa Kaede, who is highly focused, can clearly feel that every change of direction of the opponent is aimed at a breakthrough, and the movements are all done realistically. If you dare not block him at any time, he will It's really gone.

This is several orders of magnitude harder than using two or three fake movements to shake the center of gravity!

Terrifying speed and control, this is after he has reserved a two-step defensive position. If he were in a normal defensive position, he might have passed him as early as the second rapid change of direction.

Olympic national team…

Rukawa Kaede couldn't help but think of Coach Anzai's comments.

Snapped!

He could no longer control his center of gravity, stumbled under his feet, and fell heavily to the ground.

I have simulated this two-dribble and three-direction change countless times in my mind. Well, it’s very smooth. Which NBA greats do you think can accomplish it?
