Slam Dunk Master Sakuragi passed the wrong ball at the last moment of Shohoku Hainan's game, which led to Shohoku's defeat. Of course, this cannot be entirely Sakuragi's responsibility. Sakuragi was indeed in the game at the time. Due to the defensive blockade of many people, the wrong ball was passed in desperation, but even if Sakuragi passed the ball to Akagi, Akagi scored, and Shohoku could not escape the result of failure. After all, Shohoku did not have the ability to play overtime with Hainan. Sakuragi had been blaming himself for this incident for a while, and in the match between Shohoku and Lingnan, it was Sakuragi who finally stood up and helped Shohoku stabilize the situation. At that time, neither Akagi, Mitsui, Miyagi, or Rukawa Kaede could Standing up to determine victory or defeat, when Xiangbei had no strategy to deal with Xiandao, it was still Sakuragi who acted unconventionally and shattered Lingnan's dream of a comeback.
In the second half of the game in Xiangbei Lingnan, as the 4th foul Uozumi came on the court again, Sendō also turned on the wireless firing mode. The score advantage held by Xiangbei gradually disappeared. Sendō hit a three-pointer, making Lingnan win. With 2 and a half minutes left in the game, they were only 4 points behind Shohoku. At this time, Shohoku was unable to restrict Sendō. Even if Shohoku called a timeout, it only delayed the players' nervousness. Without the guidance of coach Anzai, Shohoku , no one can propose a strategy to counterattack Lingnan, they can only encourage each other, but the problem is that no one can give an answer on how to restrict the immortal way. At the same time, Tashidaoka also showed the qualities of an excellent coach. He was not careless when Shohoku was already in chaos. In fact, most of the audience present had a feeling that in the remaining time, Ashidaoka chose to pursue the victory and let the two They double-teamed Miyagi and put pressure on Shohoku's back line, making it even more difficult for Shohoku to attack. This was somewhat like Sanno's full-court press against Shohoku, while Lingnan made it difficult for Shohoku to move forward. When Lingnan made a comeback, Xiangbei no longer had the power to resist.
Moreover, Xiandao's strong attack caused Akagi's foul and the score was 2 1. Akagi was also in crisis of 4 fouls. After Xiandao made the free throw, Lingnan was only 1 point behind. This was simply Lingnan's victory. A perfect comeback script. Lingnan has completely taken the initiative in the situation. Akagi has no control over where Xiangbei will go. Moreover, at this moment, Mitsui is so tired that he is on the court. It can be said that Xiangbei has a leak in the house and it rains all night. Everything is in trouble. It indicates that Lingnan is about to win this game. The only thing that can save Shohoku at this time is Sakuragi who maintains his form. Just when Taoka thinks that Lingnan has won the game and Lingnan has already stepped into the door of the national competition, Sakuragi, who is regarded by Taoka as the source of uneasiness in Shohoku Mu blocked Lingnan's "accurate kill" three times in a row. Lingnan was 1 point behind. As long as he scored one goal, he could overtake. However, the three attacks led by Sendō and Afu Sendō Uozumi were all blocked by Sakuragi. Lingnan failed to score the decisive goal. Until Sakuragi passed the ball to Mu Mu, Mu Mu hit a three-pointer, making all Lingnan's previous efforts in vain.
It can be said that when Sendō scored 2 1 and Mitsui came off the field, the entire Shohoku team was already cast in the shadow of failure. There was no way out of Shohoku at that time. It was also difficult for Rukawa Kaede to limit Sendō on his own. Akagi was unable to suppress Uozumi due to a foul problem. Miyagi was taken care of by Lingnan. Mumu was more than calm, but it was too difficult for him to stand up and reverse the situation. Only Sakuragi could do it. Sakuragi relied on talent and instinct. He blocked Lingnan's attacks three times in a row with his intuition and excellent physical fitness. It was unreasonable. This was an evaluation of Sakuragi's performance at that time. Logically speaking, this was impossible. What happened, but for the genius Sakuragi, common sense cannot restrain him as a "layman".
