Finally, the much-anticipated first game of the semi-finals is finally about to begin.

The first match is Shohoku VS Sanno.

Both sides dispatched.

Sanno Kogyo: Center Masashi Kawada, power forward Masahiro Nobe, small forward Eiji Sawabita, shooting guard Minoru Matsumoto, point guard Kazunari Fukatsu.

Shohoku High School: Center Takenori Akagi, power forward Hanamichi Sakuragi, small forward Kaede Rukawa, shooting guard Hisashi Mitsui, point guard Chen Zhao.

The center forwards of the two teams stepped into the center circle, Sakuragi and Rukawa stepped into the opponent's half, and Mitsui and Chen Zhao defended their own position. Sanno's opening formation was a bit special. Power forward Nobe was responsible for guarding Sakuragi, and captain Fukatsu Kazunari was on guard.

With Rukawa Kaede.

The basketball flew into the air, and the long-awaited showdown officially kicked off.

The real gorilla Akagi and the bald gorilla Kawada jumped up almost at the same time and touched the ball almost at the same time.

Mitsui Hisashi touched the basketball first and moved it toward his own backcourt.

Chen Zhao also took advantage of the opportunity to grab the basketball. He glanced at the frontcourt and saw that the Sanwang's defense was impeccable. Knowing that there was no chance for a fast break, he dribbled forward steadily.

If you can't fight fast break, then fight positional warfare!

Shenjin abandoned Rukawa, quickly lifted up from near the baseline, stood one step outside the top of the three-point line, and waited for Chen Zhao to come over.

At this time, Chen Zhao had just crossed the center line.

Since the opponent was well prepared, Chen Zhao would certainly not shoot directly without a fight.

It doesn’t fit the character of a hot-blooded boy.

So Chen Zhao advanced slowly until outside the three-point line, the two faced each other and officially entered the one-offense-one-defense mode.

At this time, Shenjin squatted very low and leaned forward more. Chen Zhao glanced over and found that the opponent's heels were also raised. In other words, the front feet were always on the ground, so that he could rush forward quickly and make sudden moves at any time.

steal.

This is the characteristic of "offensive defense", and it is also its disadvantage!

To be fair, if Chen Zhao wanted to go unreasonably fast, he would naturally hit the target in one shot, but this would not damage Shenjin's confidence.

If the gap in a certain aspect is too big, the other party will not have the illusion that "it can guard against you if you work harder", which would be boring!

So Chen Zhao directly thrust sideways. He just made a collision, which directly made Shen Jin lose his center of gravity, and then turned around and wiped...

Countless spectators in the stands were suddenly stunned.

The dignified captain of Sanno Industries, Fukatsu Kazunari, was broken through just like that?

This is too childish!

On the court, Kazunari Fukatsu was still squatting on the spot. But Chen Zhao had already entered the inside line and was heading towards Huanglong.

"Pass it to me!" Sakuragi Hanamichi was eager to give it a try, completely ignoring the fact that he was trapped by Nobe Masahiro.

Of course Chen Zhao would not pass the ball to him.

Instead, he jumped directly into the air, raised his right arm high, and actually wanted to do a windmill slam dunk?

"Don't even think about it!"

A cry from the bald orangutan.

Kawada Masashi leaped into the air and blocked Chen Zhao with an extremely tough attitude.

but……

"Snapped!"

"boom"

"Clang!"

Masashi Kawada, who is 196cm tall, has steel-like muscles, super physical strength and strength, fell directly from a high altitude. After landing, he couldn't stand on his feet. He took a few steps back and pressed his back against the basketball stand before he could stand on his heels.

.

Chen Zhao, on the other hand, slammed the basketball into the basket with one hand.

"Beep..., Sanno No. 7, the thug fouled, Xiangbei No. 7, the score will be counted, and one penalty will be added!"

There was silence in the stands.

But the noise was overwhelming in an instant.

"That defender is so powerful!"

"He actually knocked Kawada Masashi away!"

"This is incredible!"

"How can this be?"

"Oh my god, what did I see?"

The Xiangbei bench was filled with cheers.

Caizi couldn't help shouting loudly: "Liangtian, great job!"

Akagi and Mitsui rushed over excitedly, patted Chen Zhao on the shoulder together, and shouted: "Well done! Miyagi!"

On the court, Masashi Kawada strode up to Chen Zhao and lowered his head to look at Chen Zhao.

And Chen Zhao looked at him without hesitation.

Their eyes intertwined and they glared at each other.

Akagi was about to speak, but Masashi Kawada had already turned around and left.

Looking at his figure, Chen Zhao stood on the free throw line and said: "In terms of staring, I can persist for an hour without blinking. I am invincible in the world!"

"Huh!" Masashi Kawada snorted and did not respond.

"Whoa!" Chen Zhao added a penalty.

"Hahaha... Well said, Miyagi-senpai!" The red-haired monkey jumped up and down: "But that is my opportunity, you should pass it to me!"

"Huamichi, if you run out of opportunities, I will definitely pass the ball to you." Chen Zhao said simply.

Fukatsu was unhurried and controlled the ball steadily across the midline without stopping, passing the ball to Matsumoto early. Then he ran to the inside, stood on the three-point line, and opened his hand for the ball.

As the captain and the loser of the previous fight, it was obvious that he wanted to retaliate!

Of course Masashi Kawada wanted to retaliate, but he knew that even if he defeated Akagi, he did not defeat the point guard Ryota Miyagi.

As the leading point guards of the two teams, the offensive and defensive duel is destined to be the longest scene among all players.

Shen Jin is an extremely calm guy. At this time, he was two steps away from Chen Zhao. Shen Jin quickly bent his legs and lowered his center of gravity very low. He pressed the basketball with his right hand in a short and powerful manner, and at the same time he approached the opponent with small steps. The front of his body changed.

Toward, changing hands on the crotch, turning around to pull the ball, changing hands behind the back...

However, Chen Zhao's defense was impeccable, and Shenjin had no chance, so he immediately took two steps back without thinking about himself.

At this time, Kawada leaned against Akagi and shouted loudly: "Fukatsu!"

Since Fukatsu can't make a breakthrough, it's up to him to teach Akagi a lesson first!

Fukatsu did not hesitate and immediately chose to hoist the ball inside. But the moment he threw the pass, Chen Zhao suddenly jumped up to intercept it.

"Snapped!"

Chen Zhao directly took the ball into his hands, taking advantage of the slight movement on Shenjin's face, he dribbled the ball behind his back and broke through Shenjin.

He didn't dribble the ball straight to the opponent's basket like before, but suddenly threw it forward and shouted: "Zebei, come on!"

After saying that, he rushed forward as fast as lightning.

"He's calling me?" Zebei was just slightly startled, then instantly ignited his fighting spirit and immediately flew away.

"Do you think that just because you beat the captain and Kawada-senpai, you can beat me? In terms of speed, I am the number one high school student in the island country!"

This thought flashed through Zebei's mind, and wind blew under his feet, as fast as lightning.

Then!

"Bang!" Chen Zhao dunked again.

And the referee blew the whistle again:

"Beep... Sanno No. 9 thug fouled, Xiangbei No. 7, the score will be calculated, and there will be an extra penalty!"

"Yeah~, beautiful!!"

Led by Mu Mu, the Xiangbei bench cheered.

Sanno coach Goro Domoto stood up, his expression remained calm, but there was horror in his eyes.

Just now, Chen Zhao threw the basketball across the court and while chasing the ball, he also provoked Zebei.

Of course Zebei pursued and defended with all his strength.

Then Chen Zhao went to the basket and made a one-handed layup. Zebei caught up from behind, stretched out his hand to block, but hit Chen Zhao's arm. At the same time, he did not prevent his opponent from scoring a layup.

Combined with the fact that he broke through Fukatsu and knocked Kawada away, he intercepted Fukatsu's pass in the air just now, and now he deceived Zebei's thugs into fouling when he calmly made a layup.

This Shohoku point guard actually defeated the three aces of the Sanno team in one breath. And he showed off his strength, speed and skills!

He is provoking the mountain king! Provoking the undefeated king!
Chapter completed!
