The shameless genius duo remained completely unfazed, putting on an act as if it were the real deal.
This completely baffled Eiji Sawakita.
Even Sawakita Eiji was thinking to himself, "What? On purpose? Did they calculate my attack route precisely?"
Is it really that amazing?
"But that redhead is really amazing! How could he possibly be in that position? And he even made an alley-oop shot! He's even better than we predicted!"
But looking at the arrogant Sakuragi Hanamichi and Miyagi Ryota, Sawakita Eiji had a vague feeling: "These two awful guys! Are they playing me?"
So Sawakita Eiji turned around and left with a dark face, ignoring the shameless Sakuragi Hanamichi and Miyagi Ryota.
However, after taking only two steps, Sawakita Eiji muttered to himself, "Could it really be true?"
Sakuragi Hanamichi was secretly delighted to see Sawakita Eiji's sullen expression.
The secret to shooting with your face?
That's impossible!
The skill of shamelessness surpasses countless ultimate moves!
With Sakuragi Hanamichi's alley-oop shot going in, the score between Shohoku and Sannoh became 15-10.
At this moment, the Sannoh team is on the attack.
As the ace of the Sannoh team, Eiji Sawakita certainly wouldn't let the little incident just now affect his mentality too much.
When the basketball returned to Sawakita Eiji's hands, he instantly entered his ultimate battle mode!
"Wow! Look! Eiji Sawakita and Kaede Rukawa are going head-to-head!"
"Are they really going to do this this time?"
"This is going to be good!"
"Zebei! Zebei! Zebei!"
"Rukawa! Rukawa! Rukawa!"
At this moment, countless people were calling out the names of Eiji Sawakita and Kaede Rukawa.
Coach Taoka crossed his arms, a smirk playing on his lips, and said, "Is it finally starting? Everyone, watch closely! Take a good look at how these two go head-to-head!"
All the players on the Ryonan team were intently watching Eiji Sawakita and Kaede Rukawa, not intending to miss any detail.
Aida Hikoichi even pulled out a small notebook, intending to write down all the key points.
It's not just the Ryonan team that values this so much.
This applies to all the teams present!
The showdown between the strongest aces is about to begin!
Sawakita Ei and Rukawa Kaede locked eyes, each seeing a burning flame in the other's gaze.
Sudden!
Sawakita Eiji suddenly glanced to Rukawa Kaede's left, seemingly sensing an opportunity to attack.
This small action caused Rukawa Kaede's attention to follow it subconsciously.
But in that split second!
Suddenly, Eiji Sawakita unleashed an incredible burst of speed, instantly rushing past Rukawa Kaede's right side.
In the blink of an eye, Eiji Sawakita had gotten past Kaede Rukawa and completed a layup.
The basketball went in successfully, and Eiji Sawakita helped the Sannoh team score 2 points.
The score between Shohoku and Sannoh became 15-12, with the difference back to 3 points.
The difference is that this time, Sawakita Eiji is going head-to-head with Rukawa Kaede and defeating him head-on.
Moreover, the whole process was incredibly fast. Rukawa had barely turned around to try and recover when Sawakita Eiji had already scored.
Coach Taoka exclaimed, "Eiji Sawakita truly lives up to his reputation as Sannoh Kogyo's super ace!"
Aida Hikoichi said with a shocked expression, "This is unbelievable! I thought the two of them would fight for three hundred rounds, until the sky darkened and the sun and moon lost their light. I never expected that in just a moment, Sawakita Eiji would get past Rukawa Kaede."
The Ryonan team members knew Rukawa Kaede's strength well, and they were truly shocked to see Sawakita Eiji so easily get past him.
Sendoh Akira looked at Rukawa Kaede and said in a low voice, "That guy Sawakita is indeed very strong, but I believe you won't lose to him easily."
Nine-tailed fox Rukawa Kaede was of course not going to admit defeat. He had only been beaten once before, so what?
Just return it!
At this moment, Miyagi Ryota has the ball in his hands. He understands Rukawa Kaede's temperament and personality very well. He knows that at this time, the basketball must be passed to Rukawa Kaede so that Rukawa Kaede can fight to his heart's content.
Without hesitation, Miyagi Ryota passed the basketball to Rukawa Kaede.
Rukawa Kaede, having gotten the basketball, didn't make any fancy moves; with a sudden burst of speed, he cut right past Sawakita Eiji on the right.
"What? So fast?"
Even Sawakita Eiji showed a shocked expression.
As Rukawa Kaede cut inside and reached the Sannoh team's interior, Nobe Masahiro, who was in Rukawa Kaede's offensive path, went to meet him head-on to stop his attack.
"What? Is Rukawa Kaede going to force himself on me?"
"Wow! Is it really that violent?"
"He's on! He's really on!"
Rukawa Kaede suddenly leaped into the air.
Nobe Masahiro also jumped up and blocked the shot from the front.
But just then!
While in mid-air, Rukawa Kaede suddenly flipped his wrist, making a passing motion!
The basketball flew towards Nobe Masahiro's left, not towards the basketball hoop.
A fiery red figure leaped violently!
It's Sakuragi Hanamichi!
"Hmph! Rukawa Kaede! Good bro! I knew you'd pass me the ball!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi, his face beaming with excitement, successfully caught the basketball in mid-air.
The moment he caught the basketball, Sakuragi Hanamichi felt his blood boiling!
What feels the best?
It definitely feels like dunking!
boom!!!
Sakuragi Hanamichi's powerful two-handed dunk!
Aerial relay!
Powerful dunk!
Rukawa Kaede provided an excellent assist for Sakuragi Hanamichi, making Sakuragi Hanamichi the most dazzling player on the field once again!
"Another alley-oop!!!"
"That redhead! He's amazing!!!"
"His name is Sakuragi Hanamichi, right? Is he that strong?"
"My God! Two consecutive alley-oops!"
"I thought Rukawa was going to go for a head-on attack! I didn't expect Rukawa to choose to pass the ball to Sakuragi Hanamichi at the last moment."
"Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi have such great teamwork!"
"Yes! Their teamwork was amazing! They had such great chemistry! Did they exchange glances just now?"
"I didn't notice, but I felt like the moment Rukawa jumped, Sakuragi knew that Rukawa would definitely pass the ball to him."
"Could it be that we are telepathically connected?"
In the stands, Kiyota Nobunaga of the Hainan team was just cheering loudly for the wonderful teamwork between Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede.
After all, Shohoku is now fighting on behalf of Kanagawa!
But then, Kiyota Nobunaga inexplicably gritted his teeth and said, "Ugh!!! This is so painful! Why wasn't I the coolest guy on the court? If it had been me, I would definitely have been able to break through Sawakita Eiji's defense and pass the ball to that red-haired monkey... right?"
After hesitating for a moment, Kiyota Nobunaga shook his head violently and said, "I would never pass to that stinky red-haired monkey! If it were me, I would definitely dunk the ball myself! Rukawa Kaede really doesn't have as much guts as me!"
