Chen Zhao is very satisfied with the current situation.

Because he has subtly gained the right to speak on the court for the Xiangbei basketball team.

Because when he is on the court, all his teammates listen to his instructions, including captain Akagi and the "one man" Rukawa Kaede.

Sakuragi even relied on his scheduling to score in double figures in his first game.

What's more, with him on the scene, the substitutes can be trained to the greatest extent.

Even the weakest Toki Kuwata, as long as he runs to the position where he is best at shooting and is unmarked, the basketball will fly into his hands.

This is the embodiment of the control of an ace point guard.

Of course, this is only a preliminary right to speak.

Whether it will work on the field depends on the performance against strong opponents.

Chen Zhao was naturally very sure of this.

Because in the entire island nation, there is no team that can challenge his control yet.

In fact, deep down in everyone's hearts, from the time Chen Zhao led the first grade team to defeat the senior team, he has already become the core of the court and the commander on the court!

Because they beat their opponent in the first game, the team is very excited.

The second and third grade students, including Sakuragi and Rukawa, simply stayed and trained for an additional hour after the usual training was completed.

However, the ones left to the end were still Chen Zhao and Rukawa Kaede.

Then Rukawa Kaede left alone, while Chen Zhao went home accompanied by Cai Zi.

Time passed day by day with intense and fulfilling hard training, and finally, the second prefectural competition in Shohoku came as scheduled. The opponent was Kadano High School, who also won the first game.

Throughout the game, Chen Zhao played for the first ten minutes of the first half, contributed 15 assists, and then took a rest.

The score at that time was 40:4.

The first half ended ten minutes later, and the score became 78:8.

So throughout the second half, the main players from Shobei didn't play for a minute.

The seven substitutes have been fully trained and have built up their confidence.

The final score was fixed at 122:24.

The whole game was an out-and-out one-sided, massacre.

The audience was a little enthusiastic at first, but then they just became bored. The game was too monotonous and not enjoyable to watch.

Jun Uozumi from Lingnan originally wanted to watch the whole show, but he didn't expect it to be late, so he could only watch the ending.

But he met an old friend.

A boy who is as tall as Akagi, but with wide-rimmed eyes. Whether it is appearance or temperament, he is polite and polite at first glance. He is an excellent student who studies extremely well. He is the center forward of Xiangyang High School.

"Did you come here specifically to watch their game? Hanagata."

Everyone is a big shot in high school basketball in the prefecture, so of course Uozumi wants to say hello.

"That's right, Uozumi." Hanagata said calmly: "But the opponent is too weak. Call us Xiangyang, and we will definitely get 200 points."

Yuzhu smiled coldly in his heart.

"Hanagata, you underestimate the enemy too much. You must have never imagined that the strength of Miyagi Ryota is no longer inferior to your Fujima!"

But Uozumi will definitely not tell it.

He wished that Xiangyang would fall down hard.

So he just closed his eyes and exhaled slightly: "Probably!"

…

"Hahaha, I am indeed the genius Sakuragi Hanamichi! Miyagi-senpai didn't lie to me. Not only did I get a double-double, I also became the rebounding king! Damn fox, are you envious?"

In the Shohoku Basketball Club, Sakuragi looked at the statistics table in his hand and laughed.

There is no reason for him not to smile.

Because he did not commit five fouls this time and scored 10 points.

But what is remarkable is that he grabbed 24 rebounds.

And the dead fox Rukawa Kaede he can't forget, although he scored 30 points, he had very few rebounds and assists.

"Big idiot!" Rukawa Kaede said coldly and ignored him again.

Chen Zhao looked at Sakuragi's arrogant back and was very pleased.

Since Sakuragi can enter the field for training, Chen Zhao has been polishing Sakuragi a lot.

Teach him offensive skills, teach him defensive skills, teach him how to run.

He and Mitsui, one outside and one inside, took turns training Sakuragi alone, using various methods to help him grow quickly.

This Sakuragi is indeed a genius. Although he lacks experience and has immature skills, he has a strong learning ability. After more than a month of targeted training, although Sakuragi's defensive skills are still very poor, he will no longer foul easily.

However, he has outstanding jumping ability, strong physique, and special training from Akagi. He is simply a natural rebounder.

With him on the court, even if he doesn't score, just the fact that he continues to grab rebounds from all the tall men is enough to reflect his presence.

Of course, Sakuragi's current scoring ability is very weak. If there is no big open space under the basket, Chen Zhao will not pass the ball to him.

Any basketball rookie will come out of this experience step by step.

Sakuragi Hanamichi still has a long way to go.

…

The county competition continued. After Xiangbei defeated Gao Li by a huge score in the third round, Chen Zhao suggested that Sakuragi should start learning to shoot from the basket during extra training.

It's not just a shot at the fixed end, but a shot in front of Akagi after the breakthrough.

According to Chen Zhao, in the next competition, whether it is a county competition or a national competition, Akagi will be strictly guarded. Then at this time, Sakuragi will definitely encounter the opportunity to shoot inside the opponent, and the opponent will definitely have a tall inside player in front of him.

To defend, if Sakuragi wants to buck the trend, he must learn to shoot and score in front of Akagi.

Akagi deeply agreed.

So Chen Zhao, Mitsui and Mumu all played the first level, allowing Sakuragi to break through and challenge Akagi alone.

The initial drawing style looked like this:

"Idiot, you shoot so far away from me and the basket. Do you have that ability?"

"Idiot, you're so close to me to project, are you sincerely looking for cover?"

"That's a walk, a walk! I really don't know what's going on in your head? You actually held the ball and ran directly from the basket here to shoot there. You thought it was a three-step layup. It really pissed me off.

Got it!"

Whenever this happens, Mu Mu will send comfort.

"Sakuragi, you have become very good! You are making rapid progress!"

Sakuragi finally got into a good mood, but Rukawa Kaede who was watching the battle would immediately pour cold water on him: "What an idiot!"

Then Sakuragi became furious:

"Damn fox, you are a lazy guy, you actually have the nerve to talk about me, a great genius?"

"Are you arguing to avoid training?"

"What did you say?"

Whenever this happens, Akagi will sigh deeply: "What a problem child!"

Of course, despite the quarrels, the overall style of painting is still very harmonious.

Next, Shohoku met Tsukutake, a traditional strong team in the county.

Tsukutake maintained a high degree of vigilance and attention to the biggest dark horse in Xiangbei, which was approaching fiercely and with great momentum.
Chapter completed!
