Foreword:

Among the many popular comics in Japan, "Slam Dunk" is the most unique work. When many fans love to die, the Xiangbei basketball team also defeated Sanno Industry. According to the plot, the Xiangbei team defeated the traditional teams such as Xiangyang and Lingnan, and was unfortunately defeated by the Hainan team that dominated the county competition for 17 years. Since the Xiangbei team defeated the mountain king team that dominated the country, it should make persistent efforts and always challenge a stronger opponent. Even if it is a loss to Aihe Academy, we should continue to increase training, select newcomers, and continue to dominate the country's dream.

But the comics ended here, so much so that many fans watched their youth slowly flow away with immense regret. Feng Mu-jun has not even figured out whether "Slam Dunk" is a comedy or a tragedy. There are many unsolved mysteries. Did Rukawa go to the United States? Who on earth did Akagi Haruko fall in love with? Who won the county championship in the second year? Shanwang Industry Zebei Eiji went abroad, and the other seniors graduated, and suddenly lost all the main players. In the second year, only one Xiaohetian became a scum team? Did Xiandao become the only one in the county in his senior year of high school?

But in many problems, after all, Sakuragi Flower Road is the core protagonist that runs through the entire comic. The question that Mr. Fengmu cares most is, what form did Sakurawood Flower Road eventually evolve to? Let’s look at Fengmu-kun's analysis:

01

From the perspective of Sakuragi Flower Road’s full devotion,

First of all, no matter how Inoue Takehiko denies, There is no doubt that the prototype of Sakura Wood Flower Road is Dennis Rodman . It’s like the United States denying that it’s not for oil to make waves in the Middle East. Whether it’s appearance characteristics such as hair color, and playing styles such as rebounding, and a hobby of fighting, it shows that Takehiko Inoue wants to bring Rodman. Changed his name as the hero of his comics. Because when the NBA was just popular in Japan, Rodman's unique character and style were more attractive to Japanese than Jordan.

But as a basketball anime, fighting and idiot character alone can’t be the protagonist, and rebounding alone can’t play the game. It highlights the protagonist's huge role, so the character of Sakuragi Flower Road is shaped tough and unyielding. And unlike Rodman's private life, which is completely different, Sakuragi Huadao basically devoted all of his energy to improving basketball skills after falling in love with basketball.

And Sakuragi Huadao ranked first in the comics not because of his fighting strength, but his potential to learn basketball skills , most of the players in the comics started from junior high school or elementary school Just play basketball, and Sakuragi can become a top player of his age in three months. This potential shocks the entire high school basketball world in the comics.

So According to the character and potential of Sakuragi Flower Road, he will never just be satisfied with being a quasi blue-collar who grabs rebounds and half baskets. Just like when Sakuragi only wanted to make a dunk at the beginning of the comics, Akagi used the rebounding effect on the team to temporarily comfort him, but Sakuragi Hanado will definitely improve his abilities in all aspects because he wants It is Rukawa Feng who surpasses, and the one who wants to defeat is Xiandao. These players are not in the same position with him, and is destined to develop to other aspects.

Sakuragi Flower Road's physical fitness determines that his lower limit is already the top

• (1) Unparalleled bounce and bomb speed

From SakuraMuhuadao began to hit the bottom edge of the backboard with his head. According to the height of the basket and Sakuragi's height, Sakuragi's jump height was at least one meter. This jumping power can be described as terror , which is also the reason why Sakuragi's not dominant height can mess up the inside in the high school national league. Needless to say, the bullet speed, from being stuck in the wide position by the strongest rebounder, can continue to jump and grab the rebounds, which proves that Sakuragi’s bullet speed is also super . This bullet speed is not only effective in grabbing rebounds, but also can completely ignore the fake moves of ordinary masters on defense.

• (2) The speed, agility and explosiveness comparable to top defenders

From the point of view of speed, Sakuragi is not the strongest Compared with the three fastest in the comics, Miyagi, Amu and Sawakita, Sakuragi Flower Road still has a gap. However, it should also be noted that Sakuragi Flower Road can match Miyagi and Rukawa in the fast break, and it can also run in front of the opponent with multiple defenses. This shows that his speed is also top , at least is in There is no one in the power forward/center position . This alone can form the conversion of fast breaks.

And judging from the multiple steals and passes and defense of Ajin’s three-pointers, different from the stream of consciousness of Rukawa, Mitsui, Miyagi, etc., Sakuragi is completely losing the first opportunity and then attacking, indicating his Reaction speed that is agile is also top level . explosive power is equivalent to instantaneous speed, this point can be seen from Sakuragi's various easy to get rid of and the air relay can be seen immediately.

• (3) The strongest internal strength and unlimited physical strength

The upper body strength can fight against the major centers in the air, and the Lingnan team can be placed off-road when the two sides grab the ball at the same time. Kite, the bottom plate power can hard top Xiaohetian. The only thing that can clearly suppress Sakuragi is Mori Shigehiro, but considering Sakuragi's potential, it may not be possible to form a two-star situation in the future. As for physical fitness, it seems that only Sakuragi Flower Road can be used by one person as three in the comics.

Therefore, in all aspects of physical fitness, Sakuragi Huadao is a high school player, except for his natural height. Sakuragi has grown taller at this point. In terms of physical conditions, Sakuragi Flower Road is a perfect body that can range from one dozen to five, which makes his position more selective.

Reality needs will determine him to be stronger

• (1) This is the need of personal desire

Pursuit of becoming The basketball king’s Sakuragi Flower Road will not only be satisfied with the best defensive player and rebounder, he will continue to challenge and imitate Rukawa Maple in team training. With the Sakuragi Flower Road’s talent and potential, will definitely become an offensive player. trump card.

• (2) is also the need for the team's play

Shonoku, who lost the team’s second and third scorer, Close to the Miyagi organization, Rukawa scored, Sakuragi rebounds this combination may be okay for the county competition, but it certainly can't go far in the national competition. After a year, I will definitely not be able to rely on Mitsui’s nerve knife, and Miyagi’s offense has reached the upper limit. It is unrealistic to rely on Miyagi, who has no outside line, as the main offensive method of Xiangbei, so coach Anzai and Xiangbei team will definitely develop Sakuragi Flower Road’s offensive talent has formed 流川楊木’s "double gun" mode .

• (3) The final shape

As mentioned above, Sakuragi’s starting template is Rodman, but he will eventually master the three-pointer and dribble With breakthroughs, assists, Backward shooting, and offensive skills such as difficult layups. If Rukawa felt the meaning of the team, he changed from the template Jordan to the template Durant, that is, he can suddenly shoot and defend and make long-range shots more accurate. Then Sakuragi’s template has changed from Rodman to James, who is stronger but also has a strong shooting ability, but the main offensive method is still , which is explosive force to the basket.

Maple Jun’s conclusion

It is conceivable that With the speed of Sakuragi Flower Road, he will eventually become the superstar of the next year’s national competition , The high school version of James. Sakuragi and Rukawa may form like NBA James and Durant competing for first and second in the league, and how terrible it is for these two people to be in the Xiangbei team at the same time. This is also what coach Anxi said that there were two super The reason for genius.
