However, he quickly came to his senses, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes, and then he raised his other hand and slapped the basketball hard, trying to use the extra strength to break the deadlock and seize the ball.

Seeing this, Murasakibara was not to be outdone. He quickly stretched out his other hand and slapped the basketball with the same determination.

Just like that, the four hands of the two men were like iron clamps, holding the basketball tightly in the middle. They pushed back and forth, neither giving in. For a while, it was difficult to tell who would win, and the situation was in a stalemate.

At the same time, the time on the electronic scoreboard hanging high above the court was ruthlessly entering the countdown stage.

10 seconds...

Every tick of the flashing red number seemed to strike hard at everyone's heart, making the already tense atmosphere even more intense.

As time slowly passed, the two bodies that were stuck in mid-air began to slowly fall downwards.

Seeing this, Jason Siber's eyes narrowed, the anger in his heart was instantly ignited, and he roared.

"Get out of here, you damn monkey."

The roar exploded like thunder over the court, and the electric snakes bursting out of his eyes suddenly became thicker and brighter, as if endless power was surging from his body.

At the same time, the strength of his arms began to gradually increase. The bulging muscles were like hard rocks, demonstrating his powerful explosive power.

Uh...

Murasakibara felt the opponent's surging power, but he was also unwilling to be outdone.

His eyes focused, full of determination and indomitable spirit, he gritted his teeth, and a powerful force burst out from his body. Like Jason Thibaud, his arms became almost thicker, and the electric snakes that shot out of his eyes became thicker and brighter.

It looked like a prehistoric beast that was completely enraged. Even if it tried its best, it would never retreat even a single step.

Jason Siber's eyes widened, full of disbelief.

He could not imagine that the guy in front of him, who was now equally matched with him, was the "monkey" who had been brutally abused by him before.

In his impression, Murasakibara seemed to have never shown such powerful strength, but now this sudden change really shocked him.

9 seconds...

The cold numbers on the electronic scoreboard continued to beat mercilessly, and every change tugged at everyone's heart.

The two men continued to descend, and just as their feet touched the ground, a sharp whistle suddenly pierced the sky, breaking this extremely tense confrontation.

beep……

The referee put down his whistle and announced loudly in his loud and serious voice.

"Fight for the ball."

This penalty result made the Dream Team and Jabberwock, who were waiting for the match between Murasakibara and Jason Thibo, subconsciously relax their bodies.

…

Dream Team rest area.

Everyone first let out a long breath, as if to relieve the tense atmosphere and uneasy mood that had been weighing on their hearts like a huge rock.

The exhaled breath seemed to have broken some kind of oppressive barrier, making everyone's expressions relax a little.

“I didn’t expect it to turn out like this.”

Reiko Aida frowned slightly and spoke softly, her words full of emotion and helplessness about the rapid changes in the game situation.

"Yeah! It's really hard to predict what will happen in this world, but there's not much time left, so I hope nothing unexpected will happen."

Taoi Satsuki agreed with a worried look on her face.

Her eyes revealed her concern for the situation on the field, and her slightly furrowed brows seemed to be condensed from the sorrow in her heart that could not be relaxed.

“Trust them!”

At this moment, Heizi's steady and powerful voice suddenly rang out, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Everyone was attracted by his voice and looked over.

The corners of Kuroko's mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile. That smile not only showed full confidence in victory, but also unconditional trust in Gin Yue, Akashi and other teammates, as if as long as they fought on the court, victory would surely come as expected.

Just listen to him continue.

"I believe in them and believe they will win in the end. All we can do now is to believe in them."

His words were concise but powerful, like the warm sun in winter, which dispelled some of the haze in everyone's hearts and gradually calmed everyone's originally panicked hearts.

Hearing his words, Reiko Aida also said with a smile.

"You're right. It's useless for us to worry about the future. We should use this time to encourage them and cheer them on."

There was a hint of relief in her smile, and the fire of hope seemed to have been rekindled in her bright eyes.

"In that case, let's cheer them on together!"

The loud voice of the God of Fire sounded, with an unquestionable firmness.

His proposal was immediately responded to by everyone. After all, at this moment, cheering for their teammates on the field was the only thing they could do and what they should do most.

Soon, the Dream Team's rest area was filled with passionate, resounding cheers of encouragement.

“Come on…Come on…Come on…Come on…”

"Victory...Victory...Victory..."

"Down with them...Down with the Jabberwock..."

The uniform shouts, like a passionate war song, echoed in the stadium with everyone's desire for victory.
