Chapter 130 Xiangbei vs Lingnan

The score between Xiangbei and Lingnan is 42:50, and the comics of the previous week ended here.

Hua Chao has been looking forward to it for a long time, and he thinks that the protagonist is about to play.

Sakuragi Hanamichi worked hard on the basics of the Xiangbei basketball team. He wanted to see how strong this character who seemed to be based on him was?
What kind of flames will be created in the friendly match with Lingnan?
Will Sakuragi's talent in basketball be reflected?

Full of curiosity, he opened the comics.

The opening chapter is the second half. Due to the wonderful counterattack of Akagi and Rukawa Kaede in the first half, the players in Shonhoku were full of motivation and showed their strength.

In the match with Lingnan, he did not lose the wind.

Under Akagi's "fast break" order, the Shohoku point guard rushed to Lingnan Stadium, passing the ball continuously.

Rukawa Kaede ran quickly, and finally with the help of Akagi Takenori's pass, he stopped suddenly outside the three-point line. Under the unguarded ball frame, he jumped up lightly, threw the ball, and made a hollow hit.

A series of smooth movements allowed Xiangbei to score another three points.

The score came to 45:50, only 5 points behind.

Hua Chao's heart was beating wildly, this kind of operation was really wonderful, his hands were itchy watching it.

Now he understands why many people play Go because they watched "Soul of Chess".

It turned out that it was in the comics that I found my own fun.

Because of Rukawa Kaede's goal, the audience on the basketball court was very excited, Akagi Haruko blushed and excitedly called Rukawa Kaede's name.

Except Yingmu Huadao, he was very angry.

Let Rukawa Kaede score, it is better not to score.

Lingnan was getting weaker and weaker, Coach Tian Gang no longer had a smile on his face, and he called a timeout.

Then he angrily scolded the members of the basketball team, everyone stood at attention and was scolded, only Xiandao was very egotistical.

He wiped his sweat and replenished water.

Tian Gang was very excited. He thought that Lingnan was the top four in Kanagawa, and it should be easy to beat Xiangbei. It was all Yuzhu's problem.

In the end, he said that in the second half, the score gap of more than [-] points should be opened.

Yu Zhu and others responded loudly, "Yes!"

Only Xiandao, squatting down and sipping lemons, his voice was quite loud.

This interrupted Tian Gang's encouragement, so he had to question Xiandao: "Xiandao! Did you hear that! Xiandao!"

Xiandao waved his hand, and replied casually: "Xiangbei is not as weak as imagined."

He believes that Xiangbei, which has Akagi and Rukawa Kaede, has the lowest level of the top 8 in Kanagawa.

Tian Gang doesn't care, how can Xiandao, who is the trump card, say such despondent words?

After teaching Xiandao a lesson, he began to arrange defenses.

Yuzhu kept an eye on Akagi, Xiandao was in charge of Rukawa Feng, and the rest broke through Xiangbei's defense...

Some players widened their eyes and discovered that a spy had come to eavesdrop on the information.

Such an outrageous operation can only be done by Yingmu Huadao.

Tian Gang couldn't imagine that there would be such a random player who stuttered for a while and didn't know what to say.

He has never encountered this kind of thing, and he really has no strategy to deal with it.

Xiandao also widened his eyes. He who has always seemed to be able to do a job with ease, was a little surprised at this time.

When Sakuragi was found, he was not ashamed, but laughed.

"Hahahaha, have you been seen through? If you have been seen through, there is nothing you can do!"

His attitude made the players in Lingnan even more dissatisfied. The two sides began to quarrel and confront each other. Sakuragi even scolded Coach Tian Gang.

Seeing the atmosphere getting more and more tense, Xiandao burst out laughing.

He thought it was really funny.

Sakuragi turned the gun head again, like a punk, put his hands into his lower body sweatpants, looking for trouble with Xiandao with a look of displeasure.

Xiandao didn't care, and imitated his movements, putting his hands in his sweatpants.

"Sendo is really interesting," Kyoko Akagi stuck to Hanamo's body, covering her mouth and smiling, "He has superb skills and good looks, and has a laid-back personality. He is completely different from other golfers. charm."

Hua Chao shook his whole body, and he asked in surprise, "Xiangzi, when did you arrive?"

"When you were in a daze," Akagi Kyoko raised his eyes and stared dazedly, "It's the first time I've seen you know how to read manga. And I'm still so serious."

She was a little apprehensive, "Sure enough, Mr. Dongye understands you better."

"Of course," Hua Chao nodded, "I have known him for five years."

"Hmph," Akagi Kyoko hammered Tsukamo's chest, "Then you've been there with Higashino-kun!"

"How is that possible?" Hua Chao shook his head.

Only then was Akagi Kyoko satisfied.

"It's not the same university," Hua Chao said again.

"You!" Akagi Kyouko was very angry, seeing Hua Zhao's bewildered expression, and knowing that this person is an emotional idiot, she could only endure it.

……

Xiandao, who everyone likes, thinks Sakuragi is very interesting, and doesn't care about Sakuragi's nonsense.

Someone couldn't stand it anymore, it was Akagi Takenori who could punish Sakuragi, he punched Sakuragi to the ground, Mu Mu and the others rushed over and controlled Sakuragi.

After Akagi apologized to Coach Tianoka, the game started again.

Sakuragi sat on the bench and gradually calmed down. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

What kind of secret weapon? Could it be that Coach Anxi tricked him!

He asked Coach Anxi weakly, and the fat old man just smiled "ha ha ha ha ha ha" and didn't answer him.

Sakuragi asked more anxiously, Coach Anzai said, "Ha ha ha ha ha."

"Ha ha ha ha ha."

When Sakuragi couldn't help but run away.

Xiandao let him see what the strength of a top player is.

Xiandao smiled cynically, walked past Rukawa Feng with ease, then passed the ball to Yuzhu, and ran to Xiangbei's basket by himself.

With this set of actions, there is still time to provoke Sakuragi with squinting eyes.

In his relaxed and freehand eyes, Sakuragi only felt shocked.

He didn't expect someone to be so strong, staring at him with wide eyes.

Xiandao crossed the center line, received the pass from Yuzhu, came to the basket of Xiangbei, swayed past the defense, and scored easily.

This set of smooth and flowing movements made Sakuragi dumbfounded.

After Xiandao scored, he first hooked his finger at Yingmu Huadao, signaling him to go on the court.

"Interesting! That's great, Xiandao! I'm coming to defeat you!" Yingmu Huadao was full of enthusiasm, and he couldn't wait to play.

But under the strong pressure of the gorilla Akagi, he sat on the bench.

This surprised the members of the Sakuragi Legion, and lamented that Sakuragi was obedient even though he was a gorilla.

The game on the basketball court is getting more and more anxious, and it has entered a fever pitch.

Sakuragi looked at the scene and gritted his teeth tightly. He wanted to compete so much.

Up to now, the bad boy Sakuragi is completely obsessed with basketball.

……

"Wow! You're so passionate!" Akagi Kyouko looked at the manga and wanted to take off her shirt.

She didn't have such a big feeling when watching Huachao's games on weekdays, but as a girlfriend, she habitually accompanied him.

But looking at the comics now, I feel that basketball is so interesting, it is enough to make people love and be obsessed with sports.

There seemed to be blood burning in his chest, and something was about to come out.

"Well," Hua Chao nodded, his legs were shaking constantly, this person was like a starting engine, in a state of eagerness to move.

"This manga is so interesting! Huh~huh~"

He took a long breath to calm himself down.

Continuing to read the comics, Rukawa Kaede is the main scorer in Xiangbei, but he is guarded by Xiandao.

Xiandao's defense is also very good, Rukawa Kaede couldn't touch the basketball at all while his arms were stretched.

Seeing this scene, Coach Anzai touched Sakuragi's knee and said calmly, "It's time to warm up."

Sakuragi Hanadao's eyes widened!
……

At this climax, Hua Chao's face was twisted, because he realized that the manga was over!
At the most anticipated time, the manga ended!
He really wanted to yell, but when he thought about it, the other party was Higashino, his good friend Higashino, so he held back his stomach.

"Bastard Bird Akino!"

When Hua Chao heard someone scolding her like that, she immediately felt relieved.

The person who scolded was his girlfriend, Kyoko Akagi.

Looking at Hua Chao, Akagi Kyoko stuck out her tongue, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, but I couldn't help but cursed out."

Hua Chao shook his head and asked, "Xiangzi, do you find it interesting?"

"It's very interesting," Kyouko Akagi nodded wildly, "I want to keep chasing the serialization of "Slam Dunk" forever."

Hua Chao put the magazine aside, pinched her chin and muttered to herself: "Kyoko who doesn't like basketball, likes "Slam Dunk" very much..."

"I made you do it, Higashino."

……

Higashino breathed a sigh of relief when he walked into the classroom.

Many people troubled him along the way.

It is no secret that manga artist Akino Bird is studying in Musashino in the future.

Musashino's students didn't bother him usually, but today, one by one felt like eating people.

"Takehiko Inoue's "Slam Dunk" should not have exploded in the plot of the Lingnan friendly match."

Higashino was a little strange.

In his impression, it was after Mitsui Shou's line "Coach, I want to play basketball" that it became popular in Hokkaido-Nagasaki.

He didn't notice anything.

Before serializing "Slam Dunk", Mr. Inoue was still a newcomer with no works. Readers didn't like his comics at all. Even the editor thought that basketball games were not important, and the focus should be on funny and fighting.

So naturally there is no popularity and influence of Higashino.

Also, when Inoue Takehiko was serialized in the early days, the artist was not outstanding.

In the future, his unparalleled painter will grow up in the serial "Slam Dunk", striving for perfection day by day, constantly demanding to break through himself.

As far as the current stage is concerned, Higashino's painters are even better.

Hibiki Higashino has been serialized for two and a half years, and he has been studying art for a longer time. He is also very talented, and his drawing skills are a big plus.

So in the friendly match in northern Hunan and Lingnan, the public felt the charm of "Slam Dunk".

When you sink your heart into reading this cartoon, you can realize the hearty pleasure of burning yourself against a powerful team in a fierce struggle.

It's really fascinating.

Higashihiro Higashino once joined the bosozoku, who rode motorcycles to blow up the streets every night.

After watching "Slam Dunk", I feel that my threshold has been raised. If I don't have the mind to ride a motorcycle, it's better to save my energy and wait for the next issue of "Slam Dunk".

……

Higashino rang to the classroom, not yet relieved.

I was surrounded by a group of people.

They blinked their shining eyes and stared at Higashi Higashino.

Kazuya Takasugi, who loves basketball, even took advantage of his short stature to squeeze in front of Higashino from the crowd.

"Slam Dunk is so! so! so! so much fun!"

He yelled loudly, completely losing his usual gloomy feeling.

The others didn't care, and said, "Mr. Bird Akino's paintings are so good, I'm really touched."

"Me too! As the basketball game progresses, I can understand the charm more and more."

"The next chapter must draw more content, it's not enjoyable to read."

"Yeah! I've watched Sakuragi play tricks, and I want to see a serious game!"

They chattered one by one, expressing their feelings excitedly.

"Slam Dunk" is like this, touching the hearts of readers.

Higashino couldn't help sighing in his heart, it is indeed one of the three major works of the jump platinum era, not inferior to "Yu Yu Hakusho" and "Dragon Ball".

When "Soul of Chess" was serialized, only a few people asked him to sign it, but now, more than half of them took the signature board and handed it in front of Higashi Higashino.

Even at this time, the climax of "Slam Dunk" has not yet arrived.

Higashino Higashino couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle. I really don't know how many fanatical readers there will be at that time?
At four o'clock in the afternoon, a class ends.

Before Higashino had time to get up, the phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, it was Akira Toriyama.

This master hasn't talked to him for a long time, and sometimes Higashino calls him too much trouble.

"I watched "Slam Dunk", and the drawing is really good. It's been a long time since I saw such a moving work on Jump."

"I have a hunch that this work will become an epoch-making work."

"Work hard, Tono."

When it came to the game chapter, Akira Toriyama finally felt the charm of "Slam Dunk".

He marveled at the brilliance of this sports comic and had high hopes for Hibiki Higashino.

"Kazuhiko Torishima said that "Slam Dunk" can save Jump, and I recognized him at the time. But it was only now that I really confirmed it, Higashino, you can do it."

During the fermentation of "Slam Dunk", a smell appeared.

This is the taste of great works.

Higashino replied: "I think so too, there is no one who can save Jump now than "Slam Dunk"."

He was convinced.
