Full-time cartoonist - #132 - Chapter 131 Xiangbei vs Lingnan (Part 2)

After ending the call with Akira Toriyama, Hibiki felt his heart surge.

He put on a mask and walked on the road back to his dormitory.

At this time, even drawing comics was fun.

When he arrived at the bottom of the dormitory, he met Sasaki.

Sasaki had a rare expression of excitement on his face, and he walked very fast, as if he was about to fly.

Dong Yexiang called him.

Sasaki turned around, walked quickly to Higashino Hibiki, held his arms, and said excitedly: “Why do you still have the time to hang out? Hurry up and draw comics!”

“Eh?” Dongye Xiang was very surprised.

“Sorry,” Sasaki regained his mood, he said: “Last week, “Slam Dunk” Xiaozheng was second, this week, it is first! And it far surpassed “The Son of God”, the undisputed first !”

“Readers have sent you a lot of letters, but considering that it is a critical time, I did not send them to you. I will wait for this period of time.”

The reason why Sasaki was so moved couldn’t be just because Xiao Zheng was number one.

He also discovered the endless potential of “Slam Dunk” as the rankings of “Slam Dunk” skyrocketed.

If you continue to draw like this, it will become a miraculous work, the backbone of jump.

He was responsible for Hibiki Higashikata’s first serialization, and Sasaki saw a spark in this young man.

Therefore, he will be full of preference for Hibiki Higashino. Even Nobuhiro Watsuki is jealous of this preference.

Now, he was indeed right.

“Okay,” Higashi Hibiki nodded, “Mr. Sasaki, please watch my wonderful performance.”

…

Since the change in the style of “The Sun Murder Incident”, Yamamura Shoudao has been thinking hard and making frequent plans.

But in the end, the work was not saved, and this week, it was cut in half.

From the initial serialization of the novel to the manga, to subsequent revisions, and later to the creation of new stories, Yamamura put a lot of effort into this.

But just because of a mistake, his debut novel was lost in the hands of his partner.

Yamamura had regrets. It would have been better if he had chosen Tori Akino.

However, as the plot of “Slam Dunk” progressed, he understood that Tori Akino might not agree to him at the beginning.

“The only one you can rely on is yourself!”

Yamamura heard that some people, after seeing Jump’s work, thought they could serialize it, so he submitted the manuscript, and it was finally approved.

Since others can do it, he must also be able to do it!

Yamamura recently enrolled in the Qiugong Art Class and is studying art. He is preparing to serialize his own works!

“Let’s study Tori Akino’s comics.”

In addition to drawing, he will also study the storyboards of other cartoonists, such as “Dragon Ball” and “Kindaichi”.

Now, he wants to watch jump.

…

After the front page work, the second comic is “Slam Dunk”, and Yamamura has not read two chapters.

Sakuragi Hanamichi is warming up and using basic dribbling movements.

People like Sakuragi can attract the attention of countless people even with the most ordinary warm-up.

With his skillful basic movements and vigorous exercise, everyone looked at him in shock.

I think this guy should also have two brushes.

It’s a pity that what Sakuragi can do now is only his physical fitness and the basic dribbling movements that he has practiced for a long time.

Caiko, who had been teaching Sakuragi, smiled, although she didn’t think Sakuragi would be effective in front of the powerful Lingnan.

But still have some expectations.

Sakuragi was very excited, and it was just a warm-up exercise. Because he was dribbling too hard, he lay down tiredly, breathing heavily.

Everything goes quiet.

The high-intensity competition and the enthusiastic cheering and cheering can no longer be heard.

“Finally, it’s almost time for my genius basketball player Sakuragi to appear. Even though it’s just a practice match…”

Sakuragi felt more and more palpitated as she listened to her breathing and heartbeat.

“But I’m getting more and more nervous.”

“The game ends with ten minutes left. Xiangbei is still ten points behind. We must seize the time to catch up. If the point difference widens, it will be very difficult.”

Sakuragi listened to Ayako’s words.

He comforted himself with his usual self-proclaimed genius that all problems could be solved by just shouting.

Behave well in front of Haruko Akagi.

But his heart was beating harder and harder, as if it was about to jump out.

He was even more panicked.

“No, my heart is beating faster and faster. Calm down. Calm down, genius! Calm down!”

The game on the field continued, and in the last 10 minutes, it became even more anxious.

Everyone no longer cherishes physical strength and exercises vigorously.

Because of this, you will be unable to hold back your strength.

Yuzhu made a foul and knocked Akagi to the ground, leaving a bloody wound at the corner of Akagi’s eye.

Akagi had to go to the medical room for a check-up. After he came off the court, before leaving the basketball court, he saw Hanamichi Sakuragi.

“Oh, you’re already warming up.”

“Uh…uh…yeah…”

“You come on for me.”

“Uh…” His heart was beating violently, and Sakuragi was no longer as cheerful and carefree as usual. He hammered his palms and clenched his fists, and shouted nervously: “Uh… ok!”

…

There were 9 minutes left in the game and the score was still 7 points away. Sakuragi Hanamichi came on to play.

The four members of the Sakuragi Legion watched the excitement. They felt that Xiangbei had given up hope of winning and was treating a dead horse like a living horse.

These people, fearing that the world would be in chaos, ran from the second floor to the first floor, hoping to watch Sakuragi make a fool of himself at close range.

Sakuragi’s teammates are looking forward to Sakuragi’s move. Even coach Anzai and Takenori Akagi also have expectations for Sakuragi.

Even if nothing happens to Akagi, they are still ready to let Sakuragi play.

However, Sakuragi, who was looking forward to the whole game, or even before the game, was already eager to try, but his mind went blank at this time.

Sendao looked at Sakuragi, “You are finally going to appear.”

But Sakuragi stiffened and passed by him, ignoring him.

This made Xiandao full of doubts, his eyes widened and he was at a loss.

They have become accustomed to playing games and have forgotten the nervous memories.

Sakuragi is still just a newbie, so he can only keep hypnotizing himself “I am a genius” in his heart, hoping to return to form.

The game was official, Mu Mu passed the ball to Sakuragi.

Everyone is looking forward to Sakuragi’s performance. What kind of strength does this secret weapon of Shohoku have?

Yuzhu personally stepped forward to keep an eye on him.

But what he didn’t expect was that this kid had no basic skills at all. He lifted the basketball without any defense and just took three steps in a row.

Yuzhu’s face turned dark.

Sakuragi fouled by walking with the ball, and others were shocked. Sakuragi’s teacher Caiko lowered her head in shame and did not dare to look any further.

A new scene begins, and the good old Mu Mu comforts Sakuragi and tells him not to care.

Yuzhu got the ball and came to the Xiangbei basket with Sakuragi defending.

He recalled the movements of the fish pillar before, his eyes were fixed on the basketball, and his ears seemed to be buzzing.

When the fish column jumped up to shoot, he also jumped with stiff limbs, like a salted fish, without any movement.

Yuzhu obviously noticed his move, and instead of taking action, he made a fake move, preparing to take action when Sakuragi got out of the way.

But unexpectedly, Sakuragi grew bigger and bigger in his eyes, like a toad jumping over and pressing on him.

Everyone didn’t know what was going on. Xiandao opened his mouth wide. This newcomer who challenged him from the beginning, but he had been waiting for a long time, and the result was a silver pewter spear head.

Yuzhu was pressed firmly by Sakuragi, causing his nostrils to bleed.

But Yuzhu didn’t care.

Sakuragi just sat on the ground, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze, and his ears were blocked. He couldn’t see or hear anything.

He just felt that the scene had become noisy. Lingnan’s players were talking angrily about him, and his teammates asked him to relax and comfort him.

But he is closing himself off more and more, and even the last bit of feeling is gradually disappearing.

At this moment, Rukawa Kaede kicked him on the butt and kicked him out.

Sakuragi suddenly woke up. He was sweating and looked back at Rukawa Kaede in shock.

“idiot!”

Sakuragi felt the tension that enveloped him gradually disappear, and he heard Rukawa Kaede’s words.

“Idiot, you’re a guy who rushes around and panics when there’s nothing wrong!”

“Rukawa Kaede…Rukawa Kaede!”

Sakuragi regained consciousness and rushed forward to fight with the fox Rukawa Kaede.

Sakuragi, who was extremely nervous in the first match, finally recovered from Rukawa Kaede’s kick. Then, he resolutely challenged Yuzhu and Xiandao.

…

After one episode ended, Yamamura Morichi was in a state of excitement, secretly thinking that it was good that he could continue reading the next episode.

Yuzhu stopped his nosebleed and played, but because he was not good at free throws and missed both shots, the score did not widen.

The basketball flew out of the court, and Mumu and Lingnan’s players chased after it.

Seeing that it was impossible to catch up, Lingnan’s players stopped early. Although Mumu didn’t grab the ball, he worked hard until the end.

This made Coach Tianoka very angry.

“Guys who can’t hold on to the ball are not qualified to play!”

Taoka regarded Sakuragi as a breakthrough point and asked the players to pass the ball to Yuzhu.

Sakuragi waved the flying ball away, then ran towards the basketball, even surpassing the cross-country pass.

No matter what, just look at the basketball.

Tian Gang is also happy that he is still running cross-country because of his own teachings.

But he didn’t notice that the basketball was getting closer and closer to him. Along with the basketball came Sakuragi Hanamichi.

He enjoyed the treatment of a fish pillar and was pinned down by Sakuragi.

When Taoka was confused and angry, the players on the bench said excitedly:

“I understand what you mean by persistence in playing the ball! That’s great!”

Tian Gang couldn’t be angry because this was indeed what he said.

Xiandao saw that Sakuragi had great physical fitness and amazing speed, which made Yuzhu interested.

He let everyone else pass the ball to him, and then he scored from Sakuragi’s head.

The game continues, and the scene is anxious. Rukawa Kaede and Xiandao, if you don’t let me, I won’t let you compete.

“Lingnan!”

“Lingnan!”

“Xiangbei!”

“Xiangbei!”

The ball has become more and more intense as the game reaches this point. The emotions of the audience at the online venue were also aroused.

The boy in the straw hat waved his hands and grinned.

The ball finally reached Yuzhu’s hands.

He was confident that the pitch would be successful. Sakuragi just said that he was not as good as Akagi, which made Yuzhu very angry and prepared to teach this guy a lesson.

But when he jumped up to throw the ball.

But the top of his head was covered with cherry trees.

Sakuragi Hanamichi relies on his superhuman athletic ability. Since he cannot defend the fish pillar at one point, he will defend all points to form a trap.

This random defensive method made Yuzhu feel at a loss.

He held up the basketball, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, Sakuragi made a decisive move and stole the basketball.

Sakuragi started to attack back, patting the basketball and rushing towards Lingnan’s basket.

Although he was very fast, Coach Taoka could see that Sakuragi’s movements didn’t look like he could play basketball at all, he was a complete amateur.

Tell the players not to be nervous.

But something started to happen in his mind.

“Who knows what it will be like in two or three years.”

But his words were soon slapped in the face.

Under Saiko’s guidance, Sakuragi’s dribbling was very good.

It quickly crossed the center line.

Lingnan’s strategy was man-to-man, and Sakuragi also came to his opponent, Yuzhu.

Under Mumu’s desperate gaze, Sakuragi shot.

But as expected, he was knocked away by the fish pillar.
