The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master

Shh!

As the referee blew the whistle, the first quarter ended.

At 25:28, with Lin Dong's 15 points and 5 assists, the first quarter ended with Xiangyang leading by 3 points.

15 points, 5 assists, and 1 steal in a single quarter, all while being guarded by Chishang, Lingnan’s number one defensive expert.

Even though it is not as good as his amazing 29 points and 8 steals when facing Xiangbei, it is indeed quite good to get such data. The praise of Xiangyang No. 13 in the newspapers and media during this period does not seem to be worth it. Too much.

But Taoka Shigeichi's face was full of smiles.

A total of 28 points, he scored 15 points alone and added 5 assists after breaking the ball. It was almost like one person took charge of Xiangyang's offense for the entire game.

Are you tired? Fatigue is cumulative. Even though he seems fine on the surface now, when he continues to play like this in the second quarter, Taoka Shigeichi won't believe that he can still charge in the second half!

"Ikegami, you have to keep working hard." He patted Ikegami on the shoulder: "In the second quarter, the intensity of physical confrontation will be increased. Even when there is no ball, you have to hang on him!"

"Yes..." Ikegami Ryoji nodded in agreement. This was his only task in this game. He had no reason to shirk or complain, but he was just complaining secretly in his heart.

Only by actually confronting that guy can you feel how terrifying that guy is.

Both of his hands were a little sore... That guy rushed like a locomotive, a two-hundred-pound monster, damn... he couldn't even pull it!

He doubted that a monster like this would really run out of energy?

"Futian..."

But Shigeichi Tagang didn't pay attention to Ikegami's expression. He obviously understood that Ikegami couldn't guard against Lin Dong at all, and he also knew that it must be very hard to guard against Ikegami, but it was just consumption. No matter how tired and miserable you were, you had to keep gritting your teeth and resisting. .

Anyway, it's just about using your physical strength to exchange for the opponent's physical strength, whatever the amount is.

At this time, what Lingnan needs is more sufficient morale to further consolidate everyone's confidence, rather than letting everyone listen to Chishang's fears and complaints.

Taoka Shigeichi praised Fukuda and others one by one, and then looked at Uozumi: "Uozumi, how does it feel to play against Hanagata?"

"Soft!" Uozumi said only one word.

"Then let him see what it means to be tough!" Shigeru Taoka said with a smile: "The second quarter is not only a continuous consumption, but also the key to destroying Xiangyang. Don't be stingy with your physical strength. After today, you will be Kanagawa's No. 1 A center forward!”

Finally, he looked at Xiandao with a smile: "Let Ah Fu be the main attacker in the second quarter. Don't rush your duel. Keep your physical strength good, but you can start to get a little more intense when facing off against Lin Dong. Don't let him Using defense to recover was the key to us wearing him down in the second half.”

"The players in Xiangyang are not nervous now. They obviously haven't realized the crisis yet." Shigeichi Taoka smiled happily: "As long as this second quarter drags on, the beginning of the second half will be our harvest time. ! Don’t worry, I will give you a chance to defeat Lin Dong head-on, just like A Mu who defeated Hainan in the end, the throne of Kanagawa this year will definitely belong to you!"

"But I think..." Xiandao Akira drank water and couldn't help but look at the Xiangyang rest area over there.

"What do you think?"

"I think things may not be that simple." Xiandao stopped drinking water, frowned and looked in the direction of Xiangyang's rest area: "The calmness of those guys does not seem to be a lack of crisis awareness. .”

Taoka Shigeichi thought he was worried about something, and laughed loudly: "We are 3 points ahead of us. It is normal for them to react like this. You are overthinking."

"No, that Lin Dong gave me the feeling that he was holding back, as if he was observing something, and he didn't really start to attack." Xiandao Akira seemed to be recalling something, while shaking his head.

Although the two did not have a formal contest in the entire first quarter, although the targeted tactics deployed by coach Tian Gang did limit Lin Dong's defensive ability, it also allowed Lingnan to easily open up the situation.

But it was this kind of ease that made Xiandao feel more and more abnormal, and the look in that guy's eyes made Xiandao instinctively feel a kind of fear.

Lin Dong was too calm during the whole process. Faced with the loopholes exposed by Xiangyang in Lingnan's attack, the guy didn't even react at all, not to mention nervous.

Those eyes made Xiandao feel that he was not like a prey about to fall into a trap, but more like a hunter dormant next to the trap...

"You handled all the offense in the first quarter by yourself, and you haven't really started attacking yet?" Shigeichi Taoka disagreed with Sendō's statement.

It felt like Xiandao was stunned by the guy's performance in the video.

"That's because you are too obsessed with Lin Dong's personal skills." Coach Tian Gang seemed to see his worries and comforted him with a smile: "After analyzing so many videos, his personal skills are indeed impeccable, otherwise I would He will not use such attrition tactics, and a person like him has absolute confidence in himself, and it is just his habit to remain calm in any situation."

"Don't worry, no matter how strong he is, he is just a first-year high school student. Just continue to implement our tactics and beat the score to death and delay the second quarter!"

It's a barely plausible reason.

But Xiandaoxian obviously does not agree with it.

He knows that what the coach wants now is the morale and confidence of the whole team, and there are some things that he should not say himself.

If it's really what you feel, then just make temporary adjustments and deal with it.

Xiandao glanced at Lin Dong on the Xiangyang bench over there, smiled and nodded: "Okay."

…………

"Let me just say that Xiangbei is a weak team. That new guy Xiangyang is only as good as Shasha Cai. If he really encounters a master and encounters targeted tactics, he won't be able to lead him right away, right?"

"Hahaha, a super rookie can still be considered, 15 points in a single quarter! But if we want to challenge the Imperial Mu and the New King of Kanagawa like what are being boasted in the newspapers these days, we have to wait until next year!"

There were people in the stands laughing and talking, but they didn't notice that the red-haired man sitting in the front row of them was almost fuming with anger.

Is Shohoku a weak team?

If Coach Anzai wasn't sitting on the side, Sakuragi Hanamichi wanted to jump up and fight with that guy.

"High! Man! Brother!" Hanamichi Sakuragi put his hands in front of his mouth and shouted. He was relatively close to the front row, and with his amazing lung capacity, his roar spread throughout the buzzing scene: "Show some real skills! Kill that stinky fairy who dare not challenge you in a duel, otherwise others will think our Xiangbei team is a weak team!"

"Idiot." Rukawa Kaede next to him said lightly.

"What did you say!" Sakuragi Hanamichi turned around and his eyes widened.

"Hahaha, okay, okay." Coach Anzai, who was sitting between the two, quickly stopped him with a smile. When these two natural enemies learn to accept each other, that may be the time when Shohoku dominates Kanagawa: " Just say a few words and watch the game carefully, especially pay attention to Lin Dong. If I guess correctly, if that Lin Dong... just watch, the second quarter is when this game is really exciting!"

"Dad, you mean..." Sakuragi Hanamichi opened his mouth wide.

He had always felt that Brother Gao Ren looked a bit lifeless just now, which was completely unlike Brother Gao Ren's demeanor.

Sure enough, there is something weird!
