Chapter 533 The Power of Monsters!

The Sonics were pressing forward, and Sakuragi Hanamichi took a big step, but the next second...

Dongdongdongdong!

With the sound of hurried footsteps, a lightning-fast figure had come up from the side, and the rapid momentum was like a speeding train, so that Sakuragi Hanamichi could even feel the wind pressure rushing towards him from the side.

LeBron James!

The Cavaliers' home court, the first ball of the opening, how could the Sonics take the lead?

LeBron was on the left, Sakuragi Hanamichi was on the right, and they both cut into the basket at the same time. The distance was originally equal, but after all, one had the ball and the other had no ball, which made Sakuragi Hanamichi's speed seem to be a little slower.

With just a slight glance from the corner of his eye, Sakuragi knew that the ball was going to be blocked. Although he had a certain offensive ability, when he jumped up under the basket, facing LeBron's rough defense, he was afraid that he could not be as flexible and versatile as Brother Gaoren.

LeBron was guarding Brother Gaoren, passing the ball?

With absolute concentration, Lin Dong's position was always in Sakuragi Hanamichi's mind. He could see Lin Dong coming up from the left, just a little slower than LeBron.

But he also heard another voice rushing towards the position between Lin Dong and himself, and the speed was even faster than LeBron who was sprinting at this time.

Let alone the Cavaliers, even including all the players in the entire court at this time, the only one who could have such speed was Wade, who was known as the Flash, in addition to Brother Gaoren.

It was obviously too difficult to let Iguodala completely contain Wade in such a mobile offense.

Can't pass!

First, it might be intercepted. Second, if the ball was forced to be handed over to Brother Gaoren at the beginning, the Cavaliers would have endless confidence when facing the inside line of the Supersonics next, and then the defensive focus would be unscrupulously tilted to the outside line and Brother Gaoren, which would only further compress the offensive space of the Supersonics.

All judgments were completed in an instant.

Squeak!

Sakuragi Hanamichi suddenly stopped, and his position was exactly at the 45-degree angle of the right free throw area.

Brother Gaoren has his own tricks, and I also have one... although there is only one trick!

The center of gravity of Ji Rushing suddenly stopped, and the basket in front of him was as wide as the sea in Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes.

He stared at the basket with his eyes, and while controlling his center of gravity, he had already bent his knees, and then his body center of gravity was slightly lifted up.

LeBron in front of him was still at least one meter away at this time, and he was caught off guard... Facing Sakuragi's sudden choice, LeBron's pupils condensed into a point in an instant.

At this time five years ago, I was preparing for the World Youth Championship with the support and cheers of the whole United States, and I was called a destined enemy with Lin Dong, but then I was thrown into the abyss, and I could no longer stand on the same starting line with that Asian.

Five years of dormancy, five years of waiting, five years of suffering!

I paid everything and finally stood on this line again. How could I be destroyed by this kid before I saw the true God!

"Roar!" LeBron roared.

He had warmed up before entering the locker room, and had prepared himself mentally before the battle. All the muscles and cells in his body burst out with a force that seemed to exceed the limit. He braked in an instant, and with the inertia of the brakes and the momentum of the roar, he suddenly turned and rushed towards Sakuragi Hanamichi's shooting route.

The fierce roar was full of LeBron's angry will and determination. The super strong burst made LeBron seem to have overcome the laws of physics. His jumping figure instantly blocked all the shooting sights of Sakuragi Hanamichi.

If it were Lin Dong or Rukawa Kaede, they would have been able to shoot the basket they had already aimed at with their eyes closed. After all, although LeBron jumped high, there was still a little distance between the two. If the ball was thrown higher, it would be difficult to be blocked.

But this was just Sakuragi after all.

McMillan, Coach Anzai and others on the sidelines became nervous instantly.

Sakuragi Hanamichi's shooting trajectory is fixed, purely relying on muscle memory cultivated through a lot of training. He is not a genius shooter, so it is difficult for him to adjust on the spot.

Blocked? Off target? Affected?

No! He has a trick!

Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes were deep at this time, and the center of gravity was just a fake shake, and the whole shooting action seemed to stop in an instant.

Fake move!

LeBron's eyes flashed with surprise.

Who said this kid can't attack?

He was able to light himself up at that moment, whether it was because this guy reacted quickly enough and temporarily withdrew the real shot into a fake move; or because he had realized from the beginning that he might block the ball and arranged in advance... No matter which one of these is, it is enough to prove that this guy has enough offensive threat!

But...

LeBron missed the ball and his body began to fall, while Sakuragi Hanamichi chose to kick his legs and jump at this time.

One was falling and the other was rising. The two were very close at this time. LeBron had no other way to stop Sakuragi except for a forced foul.

But what Sakuragi saw was not the anger and unwillingness on LeBron's face, but a smile on LeBron's lips.

Is there a trap?

Sakuragi Hanamichi was secretly shocked, but the shooting posture in his hand was ready. After passing LeBron's highest point and seeing the basket, the basketball was thrown smoothly, but the next second...

Snap!

A big hand stretched out from behind and from a higher position and cut off the trajectory of the basketball's projection, hooking the basketball that had already slipped out of his hand and pulling it back.

It was only at this moment that Hanamichi Sakuragi felt the figure behind him that was already close at hand.

His attention was completely drawn to LeBron and the basket just now, so he ignored the figure behind him for a moment.

Moreover, the man came too fast and jumped too high.

Dwyane Wade.

He was intercepted!

——OH! OH! OH!

——Wade! Wade! Wade!

——Flash! Flash! Flash! Flash!

The fans in the stadium were all worried because of the threat of Hanamichi Sakuragi. Everyone knew the importance of the first ball of the game. Who wanted to be taken advantage of and suppressed by the opponent at home?

Passing Artest and picking up LeBron James, the red-haired defensive stalwart actually accomplished what only a super-giant No. 3 position could do, which was simply despairing.

Fortunately, we still have Flash!

The big-cheeked guy was gliding in the air like a flying man, his shoulders passed over Sakuragi's head, and he hooked the ball back the moment he grabbed it, and he had already turned when he fell in the air.

Boom!

Sakuragi and Wade landed one after another, but when he just turned around, Wade twisted his heels and rushed in the opposite direction like an arrow almost at the moment of touching the ground.

"Quick..."

Before Wade finished the word "fast break", the whole action came to an abrupt end.

Huh!

A figure faster than him blocked Wade in the first place.

Lin Dong!

Not only did he block him, but his super long arms also cut towards Wade's dribbling route in the first place.

Lin Dong's eyes were as heavy as water at this time, and Wade's hair stood up instantly. The opponent's awareness and emergency response were too strong, so strong that before he was not sure whether the ball could be intercepted, Lin Dong had already prepared to defend his fast break!

What's more terrifying is that this ball was cut more accurately!

It was just in the first beat rhythm of his basketball slapping off his hand, and he went straight to the basketball.

His own rhythm was already very fast, but that guy was even faster, and he couldn't control the ball.

Wade subconsciously changed the rhythm of dribbling, lowered his hand, not only blocked Lin Dong's hand from stealing the ball, but also slapped the basketball.

Snap!

There was a crisp sound of hitting his hand, Wade reacted too quickly, and he caught Lin Dong's arm and slapped the ball to the left first.

In a hurry, he didn't have time to adjust the angle, and the ball flew straight to Iguodala, who he had missed before. Wade was shocked and subconsciously rushed over there at the first time. Iguodala was the one he missed!

But Lin Dong also judged his intention in an instant, and only pushed forward one step to entangle with Wade and stop him.

Iguodala took the ball, and the Sonics pressed forward. The fans were all worried, but the game was so fast that before Iguodala could control the ball, another big hand reached out from his side.

This steal was different from Lin Dong's prediction and technical flow, and it was quite rough and direct.

The swift figure and the strong body confrontation, although there was a slight suspicion of infringement, the pace of the game was too fast at this time, and even the referee had no time to judge, not to mention that it was the Cavaliers' home court, and it was impossible to blow the whistle.

Jason Kidd! He stole the ball from Iguodala!

But before he could stabilize his position, Payton, who was following closely, also reached out his big hand towards his ball control route.

And me, Jason!

Payton said in his heart, old friends are old friends, jokes are jokes, four consecutive championships, the last honor, how can it slip from his fingertips, Payton seemed to be rejuvenated, and his gloves were in good shape!

But Jason Kidd is obviously different from Iguodala's immaturity, and he is too familiar with Payton. The old guy has been following him and has not lost his position. Although he has the advantage of angle position and steals the ball first, the mental joy and relaxation brought by the steal is also the most likely time to be counter-stealed. Kidd did not choose to dribble at all, but threw the ball directly forward at the moment of completing the steal.

Lin Dong's steal just now made all the players run to the Cavaliers' backcourt, only O'Neal and Chandler were still near the center line. At this time, they received Kidd's pass and rushed forward. Chandler wanted to stop him, but his position was wrong. Not to mention stopping O'Neal, he couldn't even slightly slow down his rushing speed so that his teammates could keep up.

Iguodala and Payton were still on the left side of the free throw zone with Kidd.

And Lin Dong, who was entangled with Wade just now to stop Wade, was entangled by Wade at this time and couldn't chase back in the first time.

Dong Dong Dong!

The footsteps of his 300-pound body on the court sounded like a dinosaur galloping, the floor was thumping, and the terrifying locomotive started. Chandler had no defensive position, and he couldn't stop it at all by pulling it sideways.

What is a heavy tank? What is a bulldozer? What is a real thigh?

This is it!

O'Neal's eyes flashed with a blazing light. In pursuit of speed, he had already gathered the ball in his hands at the free throw line. At this time, he rushed into the paint area and jumped directly. The terrifying explosion and bounce made his body, which looked as heavy as a dinosaur, look like a heavy artillery shell that had already arrived at the destination, completely unstoppable!

Chandler couldn't pull it back, staggered forward, and couldn't even jump.

"Haha, mine, boxing champion!" O'Neal roared.

His hands had crossed the basket in an instant and dunked hard into it, but before his hands could touch the basket, a sharp sword-like aura came from behind, and it was the first to arrive, and it actually crossed O'Neal's height in an instant, stretched out its hands from behind, from between his arms, and hooked the basketball upwards.

"Give it back to me!"

Furious roar.

Sonics No. 10, Sakuragi Hanamichi!

After being intercepted by Wade, he turned around and rushed back to double-team Wade with Brother Gaoren, but Wade's ball had been intercepted and he was forced to shoot in the direction of Iguodala.

Normal Sonics players would think of attacking at this time, but Sakuragi Hanamichi saw the afterimage of Kidd rushing towards Iguodala from his angle.

Thinking about problems in the way of Brother Gaoren and looking at problems in the way of Brother Gaoren was a habit he had developed as early as when he was in Hidaka.

When he used to think in this way, his mind was often a mess, because he had not reached the horizon and could not understand it at all.

When playing against the Lakers, the integration of Kobe's stimulation and the trust and affirmation of everyone before this game have already made Sakuragi Hanamichi complete his transformation.

What is Brother Gaoren's way of thinking?

It is the insight into the court and the prediction of the situation; I may not be able to make all kinds of judgments as delicate as Brother Gaoren, but I have instincts that I can rely on!

If Andre is intercepted, the offense and defense will switch in an instant. O'Neal in the midfield is the best choice for the Lakers' offense, and the boxing champion cannot defend that guy alone.

Completely following the instinctive prediction, Sakuragi Hanamichi chose to rush towards O'Neal at the first time. Although it is still not as fast as Kidd's pass, and the two are separated by a certain distance, O'Neal's speed cannot be compared with Sakuragi Hanamichi after all, not to mention holding the ball...

This is how he finally caught up at the critical moment.

From the sneak attack from behind and the absolute jump height, Wade can sneak attack, and I will learn and apply it now!

Bang!

Rumble...

A crisp ball-slapping sound, accompanied by the sound of O'Neal dunking the backboard with both hands, making the entire basket buzz and vibrate.

The ball was picked up by Sakuragi Hanamichi, a very clean and neat block!

O'Neal was blocked from behind, and by a power forward who was less than 210 cm tall!

The originally noisy scene suddenly became silent, and everyone looked at the scene in front of them with some disbelief.

Boom!

After completing the steal from O'Neal and landing, Sakuragi suddenly felt the sense of control over the court.

The inner confidence and joy instantly reached the peak!

"Counterattack!" Sakuragi Hanamichi swung his hand, but before he could throw the ball out, the next second...

Clang!

But there was a clanging sound above his head, and countless broken glass shards fell from the top of his head, scaring Sakuragi Hanamichi, followed by... Crunch!

Sakuragi Hanamichi subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it, and then looked back, and then he saw that the entire basket frame tilted down towards him.

O'Neal's 300-pound monster hung on the basket, and the terrifying brute force and the instantaneous explosion made the basket frame overwhelmed and pulled down directly!

Fortunately, Sakuragi reacted quickly enough and ran forward at the first time to avoid the range of the basket frame falling. O'Neal had nowhere to hide when he landed, and could only hold his head at the first time, and the round basket was still in his hand at this time.

Fortunately, the backboard had been completely broken, and the basket frame just formed a large square hole, which just passed through O'Neal.

Rumble!

Crash...

The sound of the basket frame hitting the ground was accompanied by the sound of glass shards falling to the ground.

O'Neal held the basket and his head, standing in the middle of the basket frame in a mess, not daring to move, but there were still some blood marks on his arm that were visible to the naked eye from the broken glass shards.

Sakuragi Hanamichi was stunned, the fans were stunned, and O'Neal himself was stunned.

What the hell... the whole basketball hoop was pulled down by this monster?

Although O'Neal had done this in his rookie season, the basketball hoop at that time was not standard. Secondly, later investigations showed that the Nets' home stadium was indeed a bit dilapidated...

But this is WIN Arena! The predecessor was the Gund Arena, which was built in 1994 and has only been in use for ten years. After Laura Ballmer took over, it was also renovated on a large scale. The basketball hoop is a standard frame structure. Normally, it is not a problem to withstand a thousand-pound impact.

This, this can also directly break, or even pull down the basketball hoop? !

What kind of monster power is this?

Everyone couldn't help swallowing their saliva, even McMillan, Mike Brown and even Laura on the sidelines couldn't help but get goose bumps.

Is this guy really a human? !
