Chapter 136 Rebound and Assistants

In "Slam Dunk", the game between Xiangbei and Lingnan was full of twists and turns. Xiangbei has been catching up with Lingnan's score, biting very tightly.

In the last 5 minutes, due to Sakuragi's unique performance, the score was shortened to three points, and it was close to surpassing Lingnan.

But in the next chapter of the manga, the gap is widened again.

The difference here is the height difference between the players of the two teams.

Yuzhu is 202 centimeters tall, Xiandao is 190 centimeters tall, and the tallest cherry tree in northern Hunan is only 188 centimeters.Due to the huge height gap, when Akagi failed to play, Xiangbei couldn't grab rebounds at all.

Not being able to grab rebounds means less possession of the ball, which reduces the chances of scoring.

Because of this, the point difference widened to 5 points.

In the last 5 minutes, the most important thing is rebounding.

If you can't grab a rebound, you lose.

Only by grabbing more rebounds can the situation be controlled.Whether you grab the rebound or not is the key to victory!

At this critical moment, Lingnan's shot hit the iron.

"Rebound!" Caizi couldn't help shouting out.

Yu Zhu, Xian Dao and Ru Chuan Feng all jumped up.

Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was wearing the No. [-] ball uniform, also ran forward, and he followed suit. At this moment that everyone was watching, with his powerful jumping ability, he grabbed the rebound from Yuzhu and Xiandao!

The air was silent for a while.

Xiandao and Yu Zhu couldn't believe it when they saw Yingmu Huadao holding the basketball in his arms!
When she saw the scene in the comics freeze at that moment, Hua Chao felt her blood boil, this scene was simply the finishing touch, revitalizing all the previous foreshadowing.

At the critical moment, Yingmu Huadao made a move to restore the declining situation!
Xiangbei and Lingnan still have to fight.

Rukawa Feng was exhausted during the whole game, his jumping height was one head lower than Yu Zhu, and he couldn't get a rebound at all.

At this moment, there is only Sakuragi Flower Road!

"The jump just now was really amazing!"

"What a strong jumping ability!"

The substitute players in Lingnan couldn't help being amazed.

Yingmu Huadao's true talent was finally revealed at a glance.

He's a guy who has the potential to be the rebounding king.

However, Coach Tian Gang discovered his problem, that is, his experience is too little.

Tian Gang asks Yuzhu to teach Sakuragi a lesson, knowing what playing basketball is.

Only relying on physical talent, too underestimated basketball.

Sakuragi's speed and jumping ability are amazing, and his foundation is very good.

But Sakuragi is only relying on his jumping ability to grab rebounds, and he doesn't even know basic movements.

Sure enough, in the inside competition, Yuzhu was stuck, firmly occupying the favorable position of the basketball's whereabouts, and controlled Sakuragi on the outside.

Sakuragi could only watch anxiously as the basketball was snatched by Yuzhu, with more energy than energy.

Sakuragi, who had high hopes, lost to Yuzhu twice, the score widened again, and the situation became critical again.

With only 4 minutes left, Xiangbei is 7 points behind!
……

"Slam Dunk" comic book plot is getting more and more tense.Countless people are looking forward to the next development.

There are still 4 minutes left in the friendly match between Lingnan and Xiangbei. How many more episodes will it take to end?

At this moment, Hibiki Ozawa of the Musashino Animation Department was rejected by the Japan Agricultural Association for the animation project.

"I'm sorry, the director thinks you still have room for improvement, I'm really sorry."

The staff of the Agricultural Cooperative said to Ozawa Hibiki.

"No, it's okay," Ozawa lowered his head and clenched his fists.

He is in fourth grade and is about to graduate.

Ozawa put all his energy into the production of the project of the Agricultural Cooperative, hoping that there will be output, telling himself that maintaining the status quo can also support himself and his companions.

After graduating in this way, you can still make money by making animations with members of the animation department.

but……

Ozawa walked out of the Agricultural Cooperative Building, looked up at the clouds in the sky, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"It has ended."

When the time came to June, the rest of the time would be left to the fourth graders who were studying for research students, and they could no longer make animations.

And he didn't know what to do with himself.

"After graduation, let's work for Ghibli first."

Thinking this way, he passed by the park and found that several high school students were playing basketball here.

In Tokyo in June, the air is sultry.

After the rain just now, the big sun came out again, as if entering a steamer.

Ozawa Hibiki felt his back was soaked in sweat.

But these students are still playing basketball with great enjoyment, not caring about the influence of the weather at all, and laughing happily.

The basketball skills of these high school students are not good, they just shoot around with a basketball racket, and they can't make a shot. They are complete beginners.But also experience the joy of basketball.

"Sure enough, I was the most comfortable in high school."

Now he is full of worries, as long as he has learned his homework in high school, he can play for a long time even with a wooden branch, without thinking about the future or the way out.

Thinking of the daily life of male high school students in his memories, he stopped and watched enviously.

"Want to play together? We just need someone."

A high school student hooked his hands and said to Ozawa Hibiki.

Ozawa Hibiki shook his head.

"Forget it." The high school student didn't care.

"Watch my gorilla dunk!"

He grabbed the basketball, jumped up, and was still tens of centimeters away from the basket, and finally had no choice but to shoot.

None hit the rim.

"Pfft." Ozawa Hibiki laughed, feeling much more relaxed.

……

A year later, the massive mold came back.

After using the dehumidifier for a while, Higashino felt another trouble.

The noise was just too loud.

It feels like there is an Allen in my ear, always talking about Tata Kai.

I can't bear it.

However, in order to preserve the precious manuscripts, Higashino could only suffer himself and his assistants, and put on earplugs.

So after work today, Higashino Hibiki couldn't hear Tanaka talking in his ear.

He was buried in the booklet of "Baseball Heroes", until Yoshii Sanhisa poked him, Higashino raised his head and saw the embarrassed Tanaka.

"Is there a problem?"

"I... I drew a manga... Ah no, I don't know if it can be called a manga... I want to trouble Akino-sensei, please take a look for me."

Higashino raised his hand, and in Tanaka's words "If it's too troublesome..." said to him: "What about the work?"

Tanaka felt relieved, and handed the 40-page manuscript he had written to Higashi Higashi with both hands respectfully.

Higashino saw him standing there quietly, and said, "Please wait for me for a while, Tanaka-san sit aside and rest first."

"Yes." Tanaka nodded, walked aside, nervously watching Higashino Hibiki's expression.

Tanaka worked as an assistant in his studio at the beginning of the serialization of "Slam Dunk", and it has been more than four months since now.

I didn't expect him to come up with a work so soon.

Even the veteran Oda is still laying the foundation and preparing for new works.

As for Akihisa Yoshii, Higashino felt that his goal was not to draw manga at all.

Higashino looked at Tanaka's manga, the name was "The Sojourner", a somewhat weird name.

The heroine gets up in the morning as usual, cooks as usual, and goes out to work as always. After going out, the picture focuses on the men's slippers.

Pretty bland start.

However, as the manga progressed, before the protagonist noticed it, the readers had already discovered the changes in the layout of the room, the strange addition of men's toothbrushes, and the occasional men's clothes that appeared on the balcony.

In this room, there seems to be another person.

There are rapids lurking beneath the calm surface of the lake.

The heroine didn't realize that the crisis was getting closer.

Tanaka's gloomy style of painting casts a strange sense on the manga, which will bring readers worry and tension to a higher level.

After reading this short story, the ending is very simple. It’s just that the heroine lives alone and is afraid of being found by thieves, so she shows that there is a man in the house.

It gave Higashino a feeling of irony.

Not bad, Higashino nodded.

It's just the rhythm of the story, there are some problems with the manga skills, it is difficult to bring it into the story, and it is not suitable for the jump platform, and it is too early to be serialized.

"It has great potential, keep working hard."

"Yes!"

Tanaka nodded excitedly!

Just such an evaluation is enough to make him happy.

Higashino continued: "When Mr. Sasaki comes, you can let him have a look and judge whether he can participate in the Manga Awards."

"Manga Awards!" Tanaka stood up in disbelief, "Can I do it too?"

He just had nothing to do after get off work, and returned to the place where he lived to continue drawing comics. He never expected to win a comic award.

"Maybe." Higashino shrugged.

"That's great! I'll have to tell my mom!"

Tanaka went out excitedly to report the good news.

He desperately needs the approval of others.

After reading Tanaka's manga, Higashino quickly put on the earplugs. He walked to the dehumidifier, took out the water container from the bottom side, and poured the 5 liters of water formed by the condensation into the kitchen sewer.

"Three hours, there is so much water..." Higashino gasped.

He had been living in the north before, and he finally felt the horror of the rainy season in the south.

He felt like his bones were getting wet.

……

The rain fell intermittently for two weeks, and the sun came out once in a while, Higashino felt that the sun was so kind.

It's almost July.

Tanaka's comic Sasaki approved it, and it was similar to Higashi Higashino's idea, and thought it might be possible.

You can see the results in the Comic Awards in July.

He also saw Oda's character design, and Sasaki was a little surprised by Oda's style.

It can be seen that there is a place to learn from Akira Toriyama. It is concise and clear, with outstanding characteristics, and it is the type that can be drawn easily.

But it also has its own characteristics. The characters are different and have outstanding characteristics, which can leave an impression on readers.

As an assistant, Oda is very talented.
