Chapter 137 The second center in the country, you almost knocked me back!

On the court, when the starting lineups of the two teams came on the field, the stadium instantly boiled with waves of sound, as if the ceiling was about to be lifted off.

The audience who supported Lingnan were completely pulled away, unable to make a splash.

This puts more pressure on the Lingnan players than before, and it feels like this is the home court of the Sanwang.

"Sakurai, your performance is very important to the trend of this game."

When he was on the court, Kashima MapleShuang slapped Sakurai Kentaro on the back.

Kentaro Sakurai seemed a little distracted, and this shot obviously shocked him.

"Captain, I'll try my best!"

Kentaro Sakurai's voice was a little trembling, giving people a feeling of timidity before fighting.

Kashima Fengshuang frowned slightly, very dissatisfied with Kentaro Sakurai's attitude.

"Sakurai, as one of the best centers in the country, you are very strong, how can you be so unsure! Don't worry, I will pass the ball to you in a while."

Kentaro Sakurai took a deep breath and suppressed his inner uneasiness.

"Captain, I will definitely defeat him and become the number one center in the country!"

"Very good, I believe you will succeed."

At this time, the starting lineups of the two teams were already in place.

Reinan once again sent out a lineup of Uozumi, Inoue Toyoyoshi, Ikegami, Ozawa Yusaku and Matsushita Asahi Ken. This is also what coach Taoka thinks is the best lineup.

The Sanwang lineup is as follows:

Center: Kentaro Sakurai, 200cm, 91kg, third grade

Power forward: Ito Yu, 192 cm, 84 kg, sophomore

Small forward: Maple Shuang Kashima, 187 cm, 82 kg, third grade

Shooting guard: Minoru Matsumoto, 181cm, 75kg, first grade

Point guard: Kazunari Fukatsu, 177cm, 73kg, first grade

Among Sanno's starting five, Kentaro Sakurai is a strong contender for the No. 1 center in the country. His strength seems to be stronger than Masao Watanabe of Buri.

Ito Yu is a relatively versatile power forward. He has good shooting ability and can effectively pull away opposing players and give Kentaro Sakurai greater offensive space.

Kashima Maplesho is the ace player of Sanno Industries. According to Uozumi's estimation, this guy has probably transcended the category of top players and reached the same level of dominance as him.

In addition, since last year, Maple Smooth Kashima has been the current No. 1 high school student in the country, which is more like the future Eiji Sawabita.

Minoru Matsumoto is a rather tragic player. He became the starting player of Sanno in the first grade. His ability is unparalleled.

Of course, Minoru Matsumoto is not yet in tragedy.

Needless to say, Fukatsu Kazunari has the qualifications to compete with Maki Shinichi as the nation's number one point guard in the future, and is admired by Miyagi Ryota.

However, in the future match against Shohoku, Fukatsu Kazunari's performance is completely out of proportion to his fame.

Uozumi and Kentaro Sakurai stood in the middle circle, looking at each other, preparing to jump the ball.

"I'm better than you, I'm better than you, I'm better than you!"

Feeling the pressure coming from Uozumi, Kentaro Sakurai kept hypnotizing himself.

The next moment, the referee threw the basketball parallel into the air.

When the basketball started to fall, Uozumi and Sakurai Kentaro took off almost at the same time and shot towards the basketball.

In mid-air, with a slight advantage of half a slap, Yuzhu shot the ball to his teammates first.

Asahi Ken Matsushita hurried forward, and as soon as he caught the basketball, he immediately rushed to the opponent's half of the court as quickly as possible, hoping to catch the opponent off guard.

Fukatsu Kazunari's physical fitness was superb, and his speed was not much slower than Matsushita Asahi Ken, so he hurried forward to stop him.

Matsushita Asahi tried to break through, but under the pressure of Kazunari Fukatsu, he almost walked and had to hold the basketball with both hands.

Compared with Kazunari Fukatsu, Matsushita Asahi Ken's confrontation ability is undoubtedly inferior.

"This way!"

Yusaku Ozawa rushed to respond, and Asahi Ken Matsushita immediately passed the ball.

However, his behavior was too obvious, and the basketball was directly intercepted by Kazunari Fukatsu.

Matsushita Asahi tried to steal the basketball back, but was staggered by Fukatsu Kazunari's resistance, and was eventually snatched away by Fukatsu Kazunari.

Lingnan immediately returned to defense. Seeing that there was no chance for a fast break, Fukatsu Kazunari calmly dribbled the basketball through the half.

When his teammates were in position, Fukatsu Kazunari broke through with the ball. He was very aware of his own advantages, and during the breakthrough process, he obviously strengthened his physical confrontation.

Matsushita Asahiken couldn't hold Fukatsu Kazunari, and his opponent successfully broke through.

Yusaku Ozawa rushed up to help defend. At this moment, Kazunari Fukatsu passed the ball to the ground, and the basketball accurately landed in the hands of Minoru Matsumoto, who was in the open position.

Without hesitation, Minoru Matsumoto made a soft jumper.

Huh~

The basketball hit the net and Sanno Industrial took the lead in scoring two points.

"Everyone must concentrate, let's return a goal first!"

When Yuzhu was serving, he couldn't help but remind his teammates.

He could see that his teammates were more or less nervous. Not only was Sanno Industries very strong, it was also related to the atmosphere of the gymnasium.

Compared to the Aiwa Academy game, most of the attendees were supporters of Sanno Industries.

Matsushita Asahi held the ball through the half, and under the strict defense of Fukatsu Kazunari, he tried his best to control the basketball.

When Uozumi landed in the low post with his back turned, Asahi Ken Matsushita quickly passed the ball over.

Uozumi caught the ball with both hands, leaned back, and collided with Kentaro Sakurai.

Bang~

Kentaro Sakurai swayed slightly, but his center of gravity did not shift. His resistance ability was actually one point stronger than Shota Sugiyama.

Yuzhu was not surprised, it was within his expectation.

As a contender for the No. 1 center in the country, Kentaro Sakurai naturally has two skills.

Yuzhu did not give up and began to intensify the confrontation.

For Lingnan's first goal, he had to show his momentum in order to better boost the morale of his teammates.

Now he is not Chamberlain. Let alone 100 points in a single game, even 60 or 70 points is enough. He must have the help of his teammates.

Bang ~ bang ~

There were two more collisions in a row. Yuzhu's force was stronger at one time than the other, but he still had enough energy left to avoid being kicked off by his opponent.

“Damn it, I don’t believe I can’t handle it!!”

Kentaro Sakurai held onto Uozumi tightly, not wanting to take a step back.

Bang~

The fourth collision came unexpectedly. This time, Uozumi added another force and finally shook Kentaro Sakurai's center of gravity.

Uozumi did not turn around. While Kentaro Sakurai had not yet recovered, he continued to launch a back attack and forced Kentaro Sakurai to get closer to the basket.

"Damn it, hold on!"

Kentaro Sakurai's face turned blood red, and his veins bulged out, as if they were swollen like earthworms. He was panting heavily, and it seemed that he had used up all the energy to feed himself.

Even so, Kentaro Sakurai was still unable to do what he wanted and kept retreating.

In the blink of an eye, Uozumi has already stepped into the basket.

Seeing that Kentaro Sakurai couldn't hold Uozumi, Itoo immediately started double-teaming, which was also the order of coach Domoto before the game started.

Ito was very close, and the double-team was formed almost instantly.

Kentaro Sakurai and Yui Ito kept pestering Uozumi, trying to grab the basketball.

"drink!"

Suddenly, Yuzhu shouted angrily and squeezed the basketball tightly with both hands, causing the basketball to deform slightly.

At the same time, the huge body like a giant beast suddenly exerted force and launched continuous attacks.

Bang~

Kentaro Sakurai took a step back again.

Bang~

Under Ito's horrified gaze, his legs slightly left the ground and were directly knocked away by the fish. He dragged on the floor for a meter or two before he stopped.

Compared with Kentaro Sakurai, Ito's confrontation ability is more than one level behind.

"Monster!"
