Chapter 68: Xiangbei Is Very Strong
"Don't be misled by the rankings in the national competition. In fact, Xiangbei's strength is very strong." Ma Bo emphasized this point again, "Xianbei's five starters definitely have the strength to win the championship."
"Is it that exaggerated?" Shen Long was a little confused. In his impression, Xiangbei's strength is indeed good, but it is a bit too much to say that it is absolutely capable of being a national champion. "They lost to Hainan in the county competition, and they lost to Lingnan. , Xiangyang also played very hard, and the strength of teams such as Mingpeng Industry, Aihe College, and Daiei College across the country are not bad. Seed team, it seems that there are quite a few in the impression that the strength may be better than that of Xiangbei?"
"This is the atmosphere deliberately created by Inoue. After all, if the opponent is too weak, how can it set off the strength of Xiangbei?" Ma Bo was excited, took a sip of beer and continued.
"Let's talk about the county competition first, let's not talk about the theatrical version. Those are not adaptations of Inoue's original manga. Before meeting Xiangyang, Xiangbei won easily all the way. And how long did the first five talents of Xiangbei practice together at that time?" ?”
"When playing against Xiangyang and Hainan, Sakuragi Hanamichi didn't have the ability to shoot at all, and Rukawa Kaede hasn't learned how to pass the ball. Oh, by the way, Akagi was injured for a while when he was fighting against Hainan. They are definitely qualified to win the championship in Kanagawa Prefecture against the Xiangbei that they are fighting against."
"Shan Wang is indeed the only team in "Slam Dunk", but with Hainan as a reference, it can be seen that Xiangbei already has the strength of the top four in the country. After all, Hainan won the third place last year. They won the runner-up again in one year, and Xiangbei is on par with their strength."
"In addition, the practice match between Xiangbei and Changcheng High School also proved this point. Xiangbei can still draw with Changcheng High School without Sakuragi Hanamichi. You must know that Changcheng High School's trump card is power forward Miko Chai. If Sakuragi Hanamichi It is definitely better to defend him, Kakuda defending Zichai is tantamount to letting go, Rukawa Kaede and Mitsui are not suitable for playing inside, and under such circumstances, Xiangbei can win Changcheng High School once, which is enough to prove Xiangbei's strength."
"Looking at the strong teams you mentioned, Darei College was able to beat Fengyu by a big score, while Xiangbei only won a small victory. It gives people the impression that Darei College may be much stronger than Xiangbei, but this is more about the suppression of style. Because of the reason, Tsuchiya Jun deliberately slowed down the rhythm, so that Fengyu's running and bombing tactics could not be used."
"Actually, Darei Academy did not have much advantage over Feng Yu. In the first half, Darei Academy led by eight points. In the second half, it adapted to the rhythm and played back and forth. In the end, one or two main players were sent off, and Darei Academy took the lead again. The score was widened, and in the end they only lost 13 points; and these children in Xiangbei were more willful, insisting on running and bombing with Fengyu. It's not hard to win over ten."
"Think about it, Fengyu's running and bombing tactics have been practiced for several years, how long has Xiangbei been practicing? This way, they can win, which shows that the strength of the top eight in the country is just like that."
"It's hard to judge if Hakata Commercial and Luoan haven't played. Next, let's talk about Aihe Academy and Mingpeng Industry. The game between these two teams is described in comics."
"At the beginning, Aihe Academy failed to resist Morishei Hiroshi's attack, and was beaten 17-37. After Zhuhoshi left the field, the score expanded again. When he came back, it was already 56-27. Zhuhoshi returned to adapt again. Mori Shigehiro's style of play began to explode, and Mori Shige was knocked off the field. At the end of the game, the score was 74 to 68, only eight points behind. If the time was longer, it would be hard to say who would win."
"This shows that the strength of Aihe Academy and Mingpeng Industry will not be much different. The Hainan National Competition and Aihe Academy are in the same area and a half. In the end, Hainan won the runner-up. This shows that they won Aihe Academy. Since Hainan can win them, Xiangbei can also win. There will be no chance, and by analogy, it is also possible for Xiangbei to defeat Mingpeng Industry.
"
"Xianbei is only tied with Changcheng High School. Mingpeng Industry has won Changcheng High School by 46 points. Even if there is an extra Sakuragi Hanada who can shoot, Xiangbei can't beat Changcheng by so much?" Shen Long still thinks Some couldn't accept it, so after thinking about it, he brought up the case of Morishigan hanging and beating Miko Chai.
"That's why the lineup is restrained." Ma Bo shrugged, "Chang Cheng is Miko Chai's one-man team, oh, at most add Yufune who can shoot three-pointers, and Mori Shigehiro just happens to restrain Miko Chai, and Miko Chai has played a lot of games. Many, but it can be seen that he is a very stinky person. This kind of person usually has a strong head. It is estimated that he was annoyed by Hiroshi Morishige's block at the beginning. Afterwards, he kept looking for Hiroshi Morishige to single out, and let Mori Shigehiro get ten blocks. If it were not like this, the score between the two teams would not be so big, and it is not an easy task to block shots in double figures in the game."
"After talking about other teams, let's talk about Xiangbei and Akagi, the top three centers in the country. Among the players who have played, only Okawata is definitely better than him. Hiroshi Morishi is more talented than him. It is hard to say technically. Akagi Even if you can't win Mori Shigehiro, you can limit it a little bit."
"Rukawa Kaede is second only to Zebei Eiji's scoring master, and he may not be able to beat him in terms of scoring skills alone; Mitsui Hisashi is one of the best three-pointers in the country, and he is excellent in ball control, breakthrough, defense, and overall situation. If it is not delayed For two years, the trump card of Xiangbei will never be Kaede Rukawa; Miyagi, who is a bit short and has limited shooting ability, but his breakthrough and rapid advancement is absolutely top-notch, his organizational skills are good, and his judgment on the ball is very accurate. Repeatedly contributed key steals."
"Finally, let's look at Hanamichi Sakuragi. Although he played basketball for a short time, his talent is the highest in the entire manga. In Inoue's other comic works in the future, it is clearly pointed out that Hanamichi Sakuragi will become a real basketball star in the future. But the treatment that other players don’t have; after only a few months of playing basketball, he has developed top rebounding ability, defensive ability, relatively good single defense ability, and keen insight, which is quite scary.”
"It can be said that Xiangbei has national-level star players in five positions. Looking at the entire comic, there is no third team that can do it except Shanwang and Xiangbei; high school basketball games are actually like this. A few years ago I I have also led high school teams, except for a few teams with basketball special enrollment, most of the rest of the teams only rely on one or two star players to play games, Xiangbei with five star players is definitely very strong."
