Full-time cartoonist.

Chapter 223 Feng Yu's Obsession

"It's a strange cartoon." Omori wanted to say so.

But facing the unfamiliar Higashino, he nodded in admiration, "The painting is really good."

He can also draw to this level, but he didn't need to work so hard before.

The weekly magazine serializes this thing, and the occasional mistakes can be saved if possible, and there are mistakes and mistakes.

In just one week, the author was not given time to revise, let alone draw a comic that went all out like "Millennium Actress".

He didn't expect that Higashi Higashino, who had already achieved great success, was still so serious.

Seeing that he had finished reading, Higashino told him something in manga style.

Today is the running-in period, and it is enough to achieve a unified style.

"I will work hard." Omori said to Higashino.

……

When working, Omori asked Higashino Hibiki from time to time. He was constantly pondering "Millennium Actress", which was more and more consistent with Higashino Hibiki's paintings.

"Omori-san's painting skills are really good." Higashino looked at his painting and sighed.

When Sasaki recommended Omori to Hibiki Higashino, he also said that Omori's artist is one of the best in Jump. As an assistant, he contributes to the development of Jump and is perhaps an indispensable cornerstone.

If the plot wasn't too bad, he could have serialized it long ago.

This experience sounds familiar, but it's the norm for most people, and it's the sad part of the business.

"That's it." Higashino said.

"receive."

As a result, there was only the sound of "swish" rubbing the pen tip against the paper in the living room, and everyone started working hard.

Higashino also painted "Millennium Actress". As for "Slam Dunk", that is tomorrow's work.

The more he draws "Millennium Actress", the more he can feel the talent of director Min Kon, which has been sublimated from animation to artistic elements.

The works of "Millennium Actress" in Japan may only be Hayao Miyazaki's animation.However, the depth of Hayao Miyazaki's animation is not as good as "Millennium Actress".

The more he draws Higashino, the more trembling he becomes. He can only draw his own understanding. If he doesn't pay attention, it may ruin this work.

So he took it very seriously.

The time passed by every minute and every second, and it quickly came to twelve o'clock.

Omori raised his head after drawing a page of comics, and found that the three people present were all absorbed in drawing.

As a newcomer, he could only pick up the next page of sketches.

Omori's stomach became more and more hungry, and the time gradually came to one o'clock.

Higashino raised his head suddenly.

"Excuse me."

As he spoke, he made a call on his mobile phone.It is the phone number of the nearby hotel, and you can order food.

Tanaka said without raising his head, "Pork bone ramen."

Akemi Akimiya said: "Thick cut Wagyu rib eye steak."

"Where's Mr. Omori?" Higashino asked Omori who had been silent all this time.

"I... I want a steak too."

He licked his lips and said boldly.

"Well," Dongye responded, and he said into the phone: "Add another steak, and the rest remains the same."

Half an hour later, lunch was delivered.

Higashino went to get his lunch, Omori took a sip, and the aroma of beef fat overflowed his mouth and nose.

The quality of this portion of beef was even more astonishing than he thought.

There may be an a5 price.

"I'm so happy to be here with Mr. Akino Tori!"

Omori cheered in his heart.

……

Three months have passed since "Slam Dunk" entered the national competition.

The match between Xiangbei and Fengyu came to an end.

A-level Feng Yu is really good, scoring nine points in the first minute.

Their running and bombing tactics are to disrupt the opponent's rhythm in a fast attack.

Pay attention to offense, keep grabbing points, and keep running.

In Fengyu's previous games, the average score was 130.5, and each of their players was very good.

No wonder Fengyu defeated Kanagawa's Xiangyang in last year's competition and won the quarterfinals of the national competition.

If it is an ordinary team, it will collapse soon.

Coupled with the low quality of Nan Lie, Kishimoto, Itakura Daijiro and others, they constantly provoke everyone in northern Hunan, making them even more annoyed and unable to exert their abilities.

Kiyota Nobunaga couldn't help complaining in the audience: "Why do they always start so badly!"

If you don't give full play to your strength, Xiangbei can only play in one round.

Itakura is provoking Miyagi, and Kishimoto is also provoking Sakuragi, belittling Sakuragi to nothing.

Sakuragi Hanamichi was annoyed and asked Miyagi Ryota to pass the ball to him. He was about to witness the results of his one-week special training.

This is [-] CIC exercises!
Sakuragi Hanamichi was full of confidence, and other people in Xiangbei were looking forward to it. The Hainan players in the audience watched this scene in surprise.

With such a long distance, can Yingmu Huadao make a shot?

Sakuragi Hanamichi's shooting posture is very beautiful. At this moment, the past practice is integrated into his muscles, and the basketball flies high. He can already foresee success.

Until the basketball passed the hoop and flew straight to the auditorium...

Kiyota Nobunaga was puzzled, "It's this kind of person who has plunged Lingnan into a bitter battle..."

"Hahaha! What the hell is he doing!"

"Number 10, you did a good job!"

Sakuragi sent laughter to the audience, and what they got was the speechless expressions of Akagi and the others.

Is this the result of his special training?
Sakuragi Hanamichi was replaced by coach Anxi, and the player who played was an unexpected player.

He is Yasuda Yasuharu who rarely plays.

Height 165cm, weight 57kg.

Yasuda is small in stature, but he has courage and determination.

When the gangster Mitsui Shou made a provocation at the Xiangbei Gymnasium, it was Yasuda who came first.

It's just that I was taught a lesson by Mitsui Shou later...

At this time, Yasuda Yasuharu, who will not be booed by Fengyu's cheerleaders and provoked by players, is the most suitable candidate.

Coach Anxi also gave him instructions to slow down the pace of the game and let Akagi and the others find their own rhythm.

After Yasuharu Yasuda came on the court, Akagi grabbed the rebound and Ryota Miyagi organized the offense, but he wanted to respond because of Itakura's provocation.

He fell into Itakura's rhythm again.

At this time, Yasuda stopped Miyagi and asked him to pass the ball to himself.

After Yasuda got the ball, he took his time according to Coach Anxi's order.

Compared with Fengyu, Xiangbei's advantage is Akagi, who has a top center.

Xiangbei does not need to play fast break with Feng Yu, and can also play traditional half-court offense and defense.

Make full use of time when attacking, concentrate the offensive on Akagi, and decide the outcome in the middle.

Coach Anzai's tactics were successful. After Yasuharu Yasuda came on the court, Akagi dunked one after another. Toyotama's center Shioda was not Akagi's opponent at all.

The time came 10 minutes after the start of the game, the score was 14:15, and Xiangbei was only one point behind.

"As expected of coach Anxi, a respected coach."

Looking at the latest issue of jump, Koji Yoshida sighed when he remembered the previous content.

"In the first game, Coach Anzai just let Akagi and the others enjoy basketball, and didn't arrange tactics at all, so Xiangbei played very hard."

"Until he felt Akagi's enthusiasm for basketball and came out of Gu Ze's shadow."

"Instructing Rukawa Kaede, training Sakuragi Hanamichi, and arranging the formation, Shohoku is now completely reborn, and the efforts of Coach Anzai are indispensable."

"And now, Coach Anxi's pre-match deployment and on-the-spot response are all right."

"It's amazing!"

What he said when I met Mirai Tori Akino that day was true, and it was also true that I liked "Slam Dunk".

He had been watching "Slam Dunk" since it was serialized, and followed it from high school to college.

The dream of becoming an editor also has a reason for "Slam Dunk".

What a blessing it is to be able to create such a classic work with a cartoonist!
Every time he sees "Slam Dunk", he can think of "I really want to say I love you loudly", and under the excitement of the singing, his mood is also magnificent.

"Yoshida, you're reading manga again, can you take a break?" the friend said.

"Annoying," Yoshida shook his head, "Don't bother me."

"It's really strange." My friend looked at his middle hair and his denim jacket, "I thought you were a trendy person before, but I didn't expect you to like comics so much."

He muttered a few words before disappearing.

"I always say that you can understand the rhythm of comics after watching "Slam Dunk."

"Foreshadowing, climax, how to drive the reader's emotions. The moment when the characters try to break out of the cocoon in the predicament, how wonderful it is."

"So I have to watch more "Slam Dunk". Learn from Mr. Akino's storyboard."

This is to prepare in advance for his dream job, he worked very hard, okay?

Yoshida Koji quibbled until he raised his head.Only to find out that the friend had left.

"cut."

……

In the national competition, Akagi shined brilliantly.

But he was sighing in his heart, the center forward in the national competition was no match for Yuzhu at all.

It is a pity that Lingnan failed to enter the national competition.

Koji Yoshida agrees with this point.

He has a good impression of Lingnan. The team that played at the beginning of this comic, Xiandao, Yuzhu, and even coach Tian Gang are very interesting.

Their dream was also to enter the national competition, but they failed in the last summer.

Feng Yu chose three people to defend Akagi, but missed Kaede Rukawa, Kaede Rukawa scored and surpassed the score.

Sakuragi didn't clamor off the court, he fell into deep thought.

After practicing [-] basketballs, he understood the power of Rukawa Kaede's shot.

Maybe he figured it out, this is his dream shooting position.

Afterwards, facing Nan Lie's defense, Liu Chuanfeng made three fake moves and scored a jump shot.

On the stage of the national competition, Rukawa Feng also made his own voice.

Compared with a month ago, he has improved a lot.

It has become the well-deserved trump card of Xiangbei.

Yingmu Huadao finally realized the gap between himself and Rukawa Feng.

He needs to practice three times before he can catch up with Rukawa Kaede's experience before graduating from high school.

In the following game, Nan Lie's title of "Ace Killer" appeared. He deliberately elbowed Rukawa Feng in the eye, and wanted to use this method to end Xiangbei's ace.

In last year's national competition, facing Fujima who scored 10 points in 20 minutes, Nan Lie did the same and won the game despicably.

After Rukawa Kaede left the field with a concussion, Toyotama did not restrain himself, and repeatedly intentionally fouled Akagi and Miyagi Ryota, causing the two sides to almost fight.

At the end of the first half, Xiangbei fell behind by 6 points.

……

The Fengyu team has always been hated by readers.

In "Slam Dunk", except for Mu Shenyi's possible accidental stepping, there is no such despicable act.

High school basketball is supposed to be for fun, to enjoy the joy of sports.

So it should be pure and beautiful.

In order to win the game, using tricks secretly to play, isn't this Korean sports?

It has been coming all the time, in order to win, it reflects the hard work of the players. They use the sweat of the past to work hard on the court. This is the most exciting part of "Slam Dunk".

Fengyu is out of place in it, like a white jade with a slight flaw. Under the strong contrast, readers hate this team even more.

Yoshida from the editor's point of view vaguely felt Tori Akino's future thoughts in the foreshadowing of "Feng Yu Zhan" from the grass snake gray line.

Why do Fengyu players ignore the coach so much?
Why do they insist on running and bombing tactics?
Just to reflect their viciousness and stubbornness?

There is a reason for all this.

During the intermission, Fengyu's coach Jinping thought that the point difference was 6 points, and Xiangbei's ace could not play, so he should start defending.

Regardless of coach Jinping's objections, Nan Lie insisted on running and bombing, and scored 60 points in the second half.

"We don't know how many years we can only reach the quarterfinals because of this tactic. In the days of Mr. Kitano, it has been proved that this tactic cannot win the championship!"

After Jinping said this sentence, Nan Lie was furious and strangled Jinping by the throat.

Kitano is a former coach who is respected by Fengyu players, and he is a very good person.

Because there are only three years in high school, three years cannot allow players to fully understand basketball, so Kitano arranged Fengyu's practice to be [-]% offensive and [-]% defensive.

Because of this tactic, some people have criticized Kitano.

Kitano didn't care, he also understood the limitations of run-and-bomb tactics.

But this set of tactics can make players like basketball, and that's enough.

This is also the original intention of high school basketball.

But capital doesn't think so.

Under the leadership of Kitano, Fengyu won the championship in Osaka, and then the top eight in the country, which already has enough topicality.

The school is greedy. They hope that Kitano can lead the Fengyu basketball team to win the national championship.

But the limit of run-and-bomb tactics is the top eight.

Not wanting to affect the players' love for basketball, Kitano was dismissed.

So the Fengyu basketball team has an obsession, which is to use the running and bombing tactics to win the national championship, proving that Kitano's tactics are correct.

Under this obsession, they became more and more unscrupulous.

"That's why I hate the new coach Jinping and ignore his tactics."

In the thinking of Nan Lie and others, Jinping is just the beneficiary of the dove's occupation of the magpie's nest.

This team has deviated from their original intention in the extreme, even if they are very strong, they will not be liked.

Except Fengyu's cheerleaders, the whole audience was cheering for Xiangbei.

And Akagi and others, who were enlightened by the words of Coach Anzai and Rukawa Kaede, finally broke away from Toyotama's rhythm and started a wonderful performance of fast break against fast break.
