The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master

Chapter 37 The semi-finals begin (second update)



Yokohama Arena.

Time 9:15.

The arena was packed with people, and it was filled up early.

Lingnan played against Xiangyang. Although Lingnan lost to Xiangyang by two points last year, a super newcomer joined the team this year.

But after all, Lingnan has Sendo Akira, the super genius who was hailed as the one with the best chance to challenge Emperor Mu last year, and he is in his second year this year.

In terms of popularity and die-hard fans, Akira Sendō's influence in Kanagawa is not inferior to that of Fujima and Amu.

For most ordinary fans who only look at the results, a 10-minute performance in a game against a "weak team at the bottom of the history", no matter how much the media boasts, is not enough to promote him to the point where he can overwhelm Sendō. the point.

There were voices supporting both sides in the arena at this time, and there were obviously more voices talking about Sendō Akira, which seemed to mean that the guy with Nikaido's hair was destined to be one of the protagonists who would decide the outcome today.

Buzz buzz...buzz buzz...

Various chaotic sounds were heard in the stands, and the two teams on the court had already entered the court and were getting familiar with the baskets in their respective half-courts.

Xiangyang's methodical layup shots looked very calm.

I hurried home in the morning and only completed 500 shots and two rounds of basic training. There were still two rounds left, but firstly, the time was indeed a bit rushed, and secondly, after all, there was a game soon, so the warm-up was just right.

——Shua!

This shot was taken from a distance close to the midline, but it was still firmly in the pocket.

This is already Lin Dong's fifth three-pointer. Starting from the three-point line, he took a step back after each shot, until he retreated to near the midline...

call……

He let out a breath and stopped asking for the ball. He hit a super long three-pointer close to the center line. This distance was almost his current limit.

If it were further away, it would no longer be just a matter of accuracy, but even the arm strength would not be able to keep up.

I feel like my shooting touch has completely recovered now. Maybe I am more accurate than when I was 16 years old, but my arm strength is not enough...

While he was thinking about it, there was already an explosion in the stands.

"Wow! Lin Dongjun! So handsome!"

"This is so accurate! And the distance is still so far. This guy's hands are so strong that he doesn't even jump much. He is a super marksman!"

"It's just a strong breakthrough, but he also has such a long-distance ability... The one who just said that he is just a super newcomer and is not qualified to be compared with Xiandao and Amu? Do you think this is the level that a newcomer can achieve?"

"It's just an open shot...what can it mean?"

"...These guys are really noisy!" A guy wearing Lingnan's No. 13 jersey squinted his eyes and glanced at the stands. Hearing the voices of "Xian Dao, Lin Dong", his brows involuntarily wrinkled.

This guy was about 1.8 meters tall and quite strong. He dribbled the ball, made a starting motion, and then shouted to Xiandao who was shooting: "Hey!"

"Huh?" Xiandao Zhang turned around and laughed after seeing his expression.

Ah Fu is still so good.

I saw Lingnan starting on the 13th and throwing the basketball in his hand to Xiandao near the free throw line. Xiandao caught the ball and did not shoot, but threw it high into the air.

"Huh? What is No. 13 in Lingnan going to do?"

Many people in the stands were paying attention to Xiandao, and naturally they saw No. 13 connected to it.

I saw No. 13 running under the basket and suddenly jumped up.

His super bouncing and bursting made it seem like his head was almost close to the bottom edge of the backboard. He stretched out his long wingspan and firmly caught the basketball thrown by Akira Sendō.

boom!

In an extremely smooth alley-oop, the basketball was slammed into the basket.

Wow!

After a brief moment of silence, the whole place was in an uproar.

"Oh my god, is this a high school league?"

"Alley-oop! I've only seen it on TV!"

"Who is the No. 13 in Lingnan? I haven't seen him in previous games."

"It's the same number as Xiangyang's No. 13! Haha, Lingnan's strange soldiers, it seems they are matched up with Xiangyang's No. 13!"

“Lingnan’s momentum is pretty good!”

At the level of a high school student, alley-oops and the like have obviously reached the ceiling of their visual senses.

Both Fujima and Toru Hanagata were a little surprised. They turned to look at No. 13 in Lingnan, and then looked at the starting players of both sides on the electronic scoreboard in front of the venue.

Lingnan No. 13, auspicious sign of Futian.

"A name I've never heard of."

"The jumping ability is good and the feel of the ball is also very good." Tengzhen nodded, and then said to Lin Dong: "That guy has the same jersey number as you. He looks like a very good newcomer. What a coincidence. Maybe it is for today's game. variables."

Lin Dong smiled. Of course he knew who the No. 13 was, but...

I don’t know if Lao Lin is awake now.

Uh-huh!

A normal three-pointer hit the net again.

"It's all the same." Lin Dong only said: "We will know when the game starts."

The referee's whistle sounded at this time.

"Xiangyang! Xiangyang! Xiangyang!"

"Lingnan! Lingnan! Lingnan!"

With the cheers of the audience, the substitutes of both sides came off the field, and the starting five were already in their respective positions.

Ryonan's lineup: No. 4 Uozumi Jun, No. 5 Ryoji Ikegami, No. 6 Cross Country Hiroaki, No. 7 Sendō Akira, and No. 13 Fukuda Yoshio.

Probably because of the alley-oop just now, the eyes and comments of many people in the stands were focused on Fukuda Yoshio.

Xiangyang still continues the starting lineup from the previous game in Shohoku: No. 5 Toru Hanagata, No. 6 Hasegawa, No. 8 Takano Shoichi, No. 9 Taku Ito, and No. 13 Lin Dong.

"You know? The media is bragging about you and Hainan right now." Jun Uozumi squatted down and looked at Hanagata who was jumping the ball with him: "There is also your Lin Dong, and you, the center who came as a substitute."

"As long as you have the strength, this is a matter of course." Hanaxing responded.

"After today, we will be bragging about our immortal way and Lingnan. As for you..." A smile appeared on the corner of Uozumi's mouth: "Akagi has left, and I have decided on the position of Kanagawa's number one center!"

"Oh?" A ray of light flashed on the flower-shaped lens: "So you are afraid of Akagi?"

Uozumi Jun was startled and sneered.

People who wear glasses are indeed sharp-tongued.

"Stop talking nonsense and come on!"

Shh!

With a whistle, the basketball was thrown high into the air by the referee.

The two jumped up at the same time.

In fact, Hanagata Toru's jumping is not weak. There is a height difference of 5 centimeters between them, but it gives the impression that the two people's jumping heights are almost the same.

It's just the body that suffers.

In a center matchup, the strength gap is enough to determine many outcomes.

"Roar!" Uozumi roared, as if all the resentment of the past two or three years of failure was about to burst out.

Faced with a weight of 83KG and 90KG, Uozumi possesses almost crushing strength. The physical confrontation and ferocious momentum make it difficult for Hanagata Toru's body to maintain balance. His hands are a little slower and the basketball is hit hard by Uozumi. It was patted into the hands of Xiandao in the backcourt of Lingnan.

Lingnan’s right to the ball!

"First goal!" Xiandao did not rush to attack. Instead, he dribbled across the court and raised a finger: "Pay attention to the ball!"

I’m testing the waters today. Thanks to my friends for their support. Although the word count is a bit too high for a new book, I still have to bite the bullet and add another chapter.

Brothers, do your best~~~! !

There will be another update later at 5pm
