Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 228 The Junior's Challenge!
"Contest!"

When Sakuragi Hanamichi and Kiyota Nobunaga both shouted "competition", Mito Yohei couldn't help turning his head and glanced at Jinguji Budou next to him. Budou didn't hold him back just now, probably because he had expected this situation Alright.

"It's a good show!" Sakuragi and Kiyota Nobunaga, who were confronting each other in the martial arts scene, showed smiles on their faces.

In the stadium, Kiyota Nobunaga was overjoyed when he saw that Hanamichi Sakuragi was the same as he thought. He must take this opportunity to teach Hanamichi Sakuragi a good lesson, and at the same time let Coach Anzai and the seniors of Xiangbei see him He doesn't want to enter Xiangbei High School with the name of a related household in the future.

"Just right!"

"I'll let you know how powerful this genius is!"

"I don't make things difficult for you either. Didn't you just say that dunking is no big deal?"

"The game is also very simple. I do a slam dunk. As long as you can do the same thing as me, you will win!"

"If you can't do it, you lose."

Kiyota Nobunaga held the basketball in one hand and said to Sakuragi Hanamichi.Since childhood, Kiyota Nobunaga should be most proud of his jumping. Although Hanamichi Sakuragi in front of him is much taller than him, he does not believe that Hanamichi Sakuragi can reproduce his slam dunk.

It’s not that Kiyota Nobunaga is bragging. He has seen many middle school students and high school students. There are too many people who are 180+cm tall and can’t dunk. Even if they can dunk, most of them are just No deduction, but for him Kiyota Nobunaga, no deduction?What the hell is that?

"Huh?!" Sakuragi Hanamichi was a little surprised by the competition method proposed by Kiyota Nobunaga.He thought it was a one-on-one bullfight, but he didn't expect the opponent to propose such a competition method, and he was a little dazed for a while.

When Kiyota Nobunaga saw Sakuragi like this, he thought that the other party was afraid, and immediately teased: "No, no, it's not true that there are people who can't even slam dunk and still look down on slam dunk, right?"

"If you can't, just say, it's not as normal as me. After all, everyone is a genius like me!"

"Hahahaha!"

Kiyota Nobunaga laughed hahaha, very happy to see Sakuragi Hanamichi showing such an expression.

"What?! You said I can't do it?!"

"Bastard, you dare to underestimate me, just do as you say, I want you to see how powerful Xiangbei Special Recruitment is!"

"I want you to know that I am different from a relationship like you!"

When Yingmu Huadao saw that the other party dared to mock him, he became angry immediately, and was so provoked by Kiyota Nobunaga, he immediately agreed.

When Kiyota Nobunaga saw Sakuragi's agreement, he immediately greeted his players and asked them to leave the court to make room.At the same time, Coach Anzai and Kiyota Ryumasa also approached a little closer. Neither of them stopped Sakuragi Hanamichi and Kiyota Nobunaga. For this competition, these two old men also looked very interested.

"Get out of the way! Look out!"

Kiyota Nobunaga pushed Sakuragi Hanamichi away, and walked outside the three-point line with the basketball in his arms. Sakuragi, who was pushed away, calmed down quickly, stood up a little, put his hands on his chest, and looked Looking at Nobunaga Kiyota in the distance.He would like to see what kind of tricks Kiyota Nobunaga can play.

"Hey, Budao, is this really all right?"

"Although that kid's jumping is very good, it's more or less inferior to that kid Sakuragi, after all, the height difference between the two is so much."

"Isn't it too good to directly lose face to Coach Anxi's old friend?"

Hisashi Mitsui, Budo, and Yohei also came to the sidelines to watch Sakuragi and Nobunaga Kiyota's "slam dunk contest" up close.Looking at the confident Kiyota Nobunaga, Mitsui Shou couldn't help feeling a little worried.

He admitted that Kiyota Nobunaga's bounce is good, far superior to his peers, and even many high school students are far inferior to him, but if the opponent is Sakuragi Hanamichi, then...
"No, no matter who wins or loses, it won't have any impact."

"And, actually, I'm not optimistic about Sakuragi. Slam dunk. It's not just enough to bounce."

"If it's purely about touching high, Sakuragi will definitely win, even if it's about absolute bounce, Sakuragi won't necessarily lose, but if it's a slam dunk"

When Budou said this, he shut up directly, because at this time, Kiyota Nobunaga in the stadium had already made a move.

Standing outside the three-point line, Kiyota Nobunaga lifted his left and right feet back and did a simple stretch. He dribbled the ball on the spot to find the feeling of finding the ball, and then quickly dropped the ball to start, and quickly rushed towards the basket. .

For the first ball, Nobunaga Kiyota didn't do anything wrong. After rushing into the basket, he jumped straight away and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand. If you ignore Nobunaga Kiyota's age and his height, This is just a mediocre slam dunk.

"Hmph! That's it?! Is it this level?!"

Seeing this scene, Yingmu Huadao snorted softly and mocked directly.And Kiyota Nobunaga picked up the ball after landing, and threw it to Sakuragi Hanadao casually, mocking:
"Shut up, you can do it! This level of slam dunk is probably very difficult for you."

Sakuragi Hanamichi caught the basketball subconsciously. Hearing Kiyota Nobunaga's ridicule, not only was he not angry for a while, but he showed a confident smile.He didn't answer the words, and walked directly beyond the three-point line with the basketball in his arms.

He seems to be very obsessed with the "same" in what Kiyota Nobunaga said before. When he went to the position outside the three-point line, Kiyota Nobunaga was standing just now. Bar?!"

"Don't be wordy, it's the same everywhere, you can't do it anyway." Kiyota Nobunaga waved his hands, unable to comprehend Yingmu Huadao's mood at this time.

"Hey, I'm afraid that you will have other excuses and refuse to admit it!"

Sakuragi mocked, moved the muscles of the shoulder and neck, did not dribble, did not move the knee joint, after a light jump, began to run towards the basket with the ball.

Yingmu Huadao's dribbling speed is not very fast, but each step is very big. Soon, Yinggi Hanamichi came to the basket, grabbed the ball with one hand, jumped lightly, and the whole person quickly He vacated, and then poured the ball into the basket.

The whole series of movements of Yingmu Huadao was quite relaxed, obviously it was a slam dunk, but this time the performance was quite light, giving the impression that he was slam dunk, as if it was as simple as eating and drinking.

Unlike Nobunaga Kiyota's explosive dunk that showed a sense of power and power, Sakuragi's shot is "easy".

"Oh!"

Kiyota Ryumasa, who was watching the game from the sidelines, let out a low cry in surprise when he saw Hanamichi Sakuragi's dunk. He was greatly surprised by Hanamichi Sakuragi's shot. It is guessed that Sakuragi Hanamichi may be able to make a more powerful slam dunk than Kiyota Nobunaga, but I did not expect that Sakuragi's slam dunk is so light.

And the information revealed behind this ball is also huge. Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was able to dunk like this, didn't use his full strength at all!
If it is a dunk-free player, it is impossible to do such a light slam dunk.

"Anxi, I just listened to their chat. Is this red-haired kid also a special recruit?"

"He's only in the third year of middle school?"

Kiyota Ryumasa touched his chin, and looked at Yingmu Hanamichi with deep interest.Before Sakuragi attracted his attention only because of his figure and bright hair color, but now, there are other things.

"Ah! Next year's freshman." Coach Anzai was a little surprised to see Sakuragi's slam dunk. He didn't expect Sakuragi, a rookie, to be able to make such a light-weight slam dunk, but he is much better than Kiyota Ryumasa. After all, he is well aware of Yingmu Huadao's bounce, so it's not unusual to be able to make such a move.

"Xiangbei High School is really full of talents!"

"Next year's IH, I'm afraid you really have the ability to compete for the championship."

While Kiyota Ryumasa was speaking, he turned his head to look at Jinguji Budo and Mitsui Shou who were standing watching the game not far away, and he also became a little happy.After all, my grandson will go to Xiangbei in the future, and the stronger Xiangbei is, the better it will be for his grandson.Kiyota Ryumasa was not afraid that his grandson would be inferior to others, and he was even less afraid that his grandson would be hit by other people's talents.

For something like basketball, you can only become stronger if you play with strong people!
"Hey, this level of slam dunk is too easy, it's a bit boring, let's have something interesting!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi grabbed the basketball with one hand, threw the ball to Kiyota Nobunaga, and said with a smile.At this moment, there was no anger in Yingmu Huadao's heart. Looking at Kiyota Nobunaga's face full of surprises, Sakuragi was in a good mood.

When Nobunaga Kiyota heard what Sakuragi Hanamichi said, he slapped the basketball fiercely with both hands, and the surprised expression quickly faded away, and he responded excitedly:
"Okay! That's the only way to be interesting!"

"If I beat you casually, I don't really want to go to Xiangbei High School!"

Kiyota Nobunaga dribbled the ball and ran beyond the three-point line again. This time, he was finally ready to be serious. Standing outside the three-point line, holding the basketball, he stared at the basket and took a deep breath.

He spun the ball with both hands and dropped the ball. While the basketball rebounded, he quickly controlled the basketball and ran towards the basket.This time, Kiyota Nobunaga's running speed was also slightly slower, controlling the rhythm of the march, and after closing the ball, he took a long stride to the basket and took off directly under the basket.

During the flight, the basketball was pulled down from the top of Kiyota Nobunaga's head to the crotch position, and then the ball was raised above the head again, and the ball was poured into the basket.

Nobunaga Kiyota's slam dunk this time seems to be a bit boring. It can only be regarded as a free dunk. Although the slam dunk is stretched, the basketball obviously touched the edge of the basket when the basketball entered the basket.

Although there were flaws, such a slam dunk made Mitsui's jaw drop, and he stared at Nobunaga Kiyota in the field.

"How can this be?!"

Mitsui Shou looked in surprise at Kiyota Nobunaga who was more than ten centimeters taller than himself in the distance, with his mouth open.If it was just a slam dunk, Mitsui Hisashi was at most a little surprised, and a little envious of Kiyota Nobunaga's talent, but such a pull-bar slam dunk came from a 170+cm junior high school student, and he couldn't accept it no matter what.

Even if the height of the basket is only 290cm, because his Mitsui Shou. can't do it.
"He's really a formidable kid!" Coach Anxi raised his head slightly and pushed his glasses, as if he wanted to take a closer look at Kiyota Nobunaga. It is foreseeable that if Kiyota Nobunaga's height keeps up, then this kid will definitely be able to Be a pretty scary player.

"There is something. If Qingtian's talent is played off the ball, it seems a bit wasted."

"Bouncing means explosion. If this kid can practice dribbling and breaking through, he will definitely become an excellent point guard."

"Hainan's use of him is too wasteful."

Jinguji Budou looked at Nobunaga Kiyota in the field, thinking about how the other party would bring out his abilities after joining Shonhoku in the future.Kiyota Nobunaga's talent is stronger than he expected, which is very helpful for the future of Xiangbei.

"How about it! Can you do it?! Red-haired monkey!"

Kiyota Nobunaga was also in a good mood after finishing the slam dunk, and laughed hahaha with his hands on his hips.

Sakuragi Hanamichi pouted, walked to Kiyota Nobunaga's side, bent down to pick up the basketball, and then walked beyond the three-point line, recalling Kiyota Nobunaga's slam dunk just now, Sakuragi Hanamichi breathed a sigh of relief , and started running towards the basket.

He was moving very fast, and he approached the basket not long after. When he was about two meters away from the basket, Sakuragi Hanamichi started the ball, and after two steps, he was still tens of centimeters away from the basket. Jumping up, he jumped very high. If he just glides over like this, he can show everyone a beautiful split.

However, Sakuragi Hanamichi retracted the ball and lowered it to the crotch position, but with such a movement, Sakuragi Hanamichi had already glided to the bottom of the basket, and when Sakuragi raised the ball again and wanted to put the ball into the basket , All routes have been blocked by the basket.

"Clang~"

With a soft sound, Yingmu Huadao was blocked by the basket, and the basketball rebounded rapidly, hitting Yinggi's head and bouncing out. After landing, Yinggi also staggered, and took two steps forward before gaining a firm footing .

The mistake of slam dunk caused Sakuragi Hanamichi to lose his center of gravity in the air, and he was unable to stand firmly after landing and almost fell down.

Although Sakuragi was not injured, his face was flushed red, almost the same color as his hair.

"Hahahahahaha!!"

"Sure enough! You can't do it! I really am a genius!"

"Hahahahaha! I won!"

Kiyota Nobunaga raised his head and laughed hahaha. The failure of the re-enactment of Sakuragi Flower Road made Kiyota Nobunaga feel good and declared his victory on his own.

"Damn! Damn!!!!"

"This genius actually failed, how is this possible?!"

"asshole!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi was furious, and he didn't answer Kiyota Nobunaga's words. He picked up the basketball on his own, trotted beyond the three-point line, and prepared to do it again. Sakuragi didn't think he couldn't even do such a "simple" move .

"It's useless, it's useless, you can't succeed, hahahaha!"

"You are different from me, hahaha!"

Kiyota Nobunaga never stopped laughing, winning against Sakuragi made him feel very good about himself.

Just as Sakuragi Hanamichi was about to try again with the ball, Jinguji Budou walked into the field and grabbed Sakuragi who was about to start.

"Okay, let's end the competition here, we still have several places to go."

"This time, Qingtian won. If you feel unwilling, you can train hard after you go back."

Budou grabbed Sakuragi's shoulder and said softly.He doesn't want Sakuragi to try again. It's not difficult for a player like Sakuragi to pull the dunk. He can easily complete it if he controls the rhythm.Yingmu Huadao's failure was only because it was the first time he did such an action.

Try it a few more times, and you will naturally master it.

But martial arts will not let Sakuragi succeed like this. If this kid really wins, this bastard will definitely go away. Instead of letting Sakuragi go away, it is better to let him remember today's failure and let him train himself. Work harder.Thinking back to today's scene, thinking of Kiyota Nobunaga's face, Sakuragi will definitely work hard in training.

As for whether Sakuragi will feel depressed because of such a failure?Stop making trouble, idiots won't have such emotions!Even if there is, it is a matter of Haruko's words.

"Ah~~" Yingmu Huadao scratched her hair angrily, quite unwillingly.Being unwilling to lose is one aspect, and even more unwilling to lose in such a simple action.

"Senior Martial Arts! Slam dunk, you can do it too?!"

"Can you do such a slam dunk?!"

At this moment, Kiyota Nobunaga came to Budo and Sakuragi, and suddenly asked.

"What?! What do you mean, you bastard?! Of course Brother Wu Dao can easily complete it!"

"What are you thinking? Bastard!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi was still annoyed at first, but when he heard Kiyota Nobunaga say that, his anger flared up again.Even if he was an idiot, he knew what Kiyota Nobunaga meant.

"Boy. Are you going to challenge me?"

Jinguji Budao also shifted his gaze to Kiyota Nobunaga. Budou, who is nearly two meters tall, lowered his head and looked down at Kiyota Nobunaga.

Nobunaga Kiyota was enveloped in a terrifying sense of oppression, and the sun's rays were blocked by Budo's figure.

Kiyota Nobunaga swallowed quietly, mustered up his courage, and nodded emphatically.

His grandfather has always taught him that in basketball, there are only strong and weak, there are no seniors and juniors.

Kiyota Nobunaga has watched Budo competitions and knows that Budo bounces quite well, but the technical characteristics displayed in Budo competitions basically revolve around projection.Slam dunk is not necessarily what martial arts is good at.

He cleared the fields, and today he is going to take the next step!Lay the future position in Xiangbei High School!
