As the referee blew his whistle, both teams returned to the field.
"Coach, there are less than 2 minutes left in the game. Shohoku is currently leading Sannoh by 3 points. If Shohoku can hold on, they should be able to win the game, right?"
Aida Hikoichi was clearly agitated when he said this.
Shohoku is, after all, a team from Kanagawa!
As a member of Kanagawa Prefecture, Hikoichi Aida is very proud.
Coach Taoka looked at Sannoh Industrial, who was taking to the court, with a serious expression, and said, "After all, they are the three-time national champions, Sannoh Industrial! Until the very last moment, no one dares to say that Sannoh will lose."
Amidst the deafening cheers of both sets of fans, the basketball came into the hands of Kazunari Fukatsu.
At this moment, Kazunari Fukatsu used his height advantage to block Ryota Miyagi behind him, seemingly looking for an opportunity to pass the ball.
Ryota Miyagi had experienced this situation many times before, most notably when he played against Shohoku in Kanagawa Prefecture.
With more experience, you naturally become less afraid.
However, to Miyagi Ryota's surprise, despite the fact that the match had reached a critical moment, Fukatsu Kazunari did not show any signs of anxiety, did not feel any pressure, and played very relaxed.
It felt like the Sannoh team was currently leading the Shohoku team by 20 points!
Fukatsu Kazunari seemed to completely disregard Miyagi Ryota.
Just as Miyagi Ryota was puzzled, Fukatsu Kazunari first made a feint, then turned around, successfully fooling Miyagi Ryota.
The move was extremely fast. By the time Miyagi Ryota reacted, Fukatsu Kazunari had already successfully driven to the basket.
"So fast!"
"What an amazing spin move!"
"Is Fukatsu going to dribble and drive to the basket himself?"
"Look! Fukatsu stepped up at the crucial moment!"
"As expected of the captain of Sannoh Industrial!"
When Takenori Akagi saw Kazunari Fukatsu rushing over, he quickly raised his arms to defend himself.
Kazunari Fukatsu showed no sign of slowing down and continued charging towards Takenori Akagi.
Just as Fukatsu Kazunari was about to be stopped by Akagi Takenori.
Kazunari Fukatsu used a "no-look pass" technique!
Without any visibility, Kazunari Fukatsu suddenly passed the basketball to the side.
Akagi Takenori: "Oh no! It's Kawata!"
Masashi Kawata ran to an open spot under the basket and received a pass from Kazunari Fukatsu.
The moment he received the ball, Masashi Kawata jumped.
boom!!!
Kawada Masashi violently dunks with both hands!
At this moment, Masashi Kawata's face was contorted with rage, and his dunk was incredibly powerful and impactful, as if he were venting his anger!
"Wow! Fukatsu is teaming up with Kawata!"
"That teamwork! That was amazing!"
"As expected of the strongest champion, Sannoh Industrial!"
"That pass from Fukatsu was so cool! A no-look pass! It made my heart flutter!"
"Haha, yeah! A no-look pass is a move by point guards to fool the opponent. Fukatsu's no-look pass just now really fooled everyone!"
"So, until the very last moment, no one should easily say that the Sannoh team will lose. The outcome of the game can be reversed at any time!"
With Masashi Kawata's dunk, the score between Shohoku and Sannoh became 88 to 87.
Shohoku is still leading Sannoh by 1 point, and Shohoku has possession of the ball at this moment.
But to be honest, the Shohoku team is also under a lot of pressure.
It felt like racing on Mount Akina, where your car was in front, but Ryosuke Takahashi's car was right behind you, and you couldn't shake him off no matter what you did.
You know your opponent is very strong, and you also know that they could overtake you at any time.
Therefore, you absolutely cannot make any mistakes.
If you make a mistake, your opponent will definitely deliver a fatal blow.
At this moment, the Shohoku team serves.
After Mitsui Hisashi, who was standing outside the boundary, threw the basketball to Miyagi Ryota, he rushed to the frontcourt.
But the next moment, everyone showed a shocked expression!
Wow! The whole stadium is keeping a close watch on one player!
"Sannoh has started full-court man-to-man marking again!"
"I didn't expect that even at a time like this, the Sannoh team's stamina would still be so strong. Don't they ever get tired?"
"Tired? Are you kidding me! At this stage of the game, even if my legs break, I still have to find a way to stop the opponent from scoring!"
The familiar scene from the first half played out again.
Miyagi Ryota was once again sandwiched between Fukatsu Kazunari and Sawakita Eiji in the backcourt.
Sannoh planned to keep Shohoku trapped in their own backcourt, preventing even Ryota Miyagi from passing the ball out.
Ryota Miyagi: "Damn it! You all underestimate me!"
Kazunari Fukatsu said expressionlessly, "You're too slow, kid!"
Ryota Miyagi looked unconvinced, but inwardly he exclaimed, "This guy is amazing! I can't shake him off no matter what!"
Just then!
Ayako Inoue's voice reached Ryota Miyagi's ears: "Ryota! You're a man, right? Charge! Get past him!!!"
Hmm! Hmm! Hmm!
Ryotamon evolves!
Little Whirlwind Miyagi Ryotamon!
Miyagi Ryota first made a quick behind-the-back dribble, followed by a nutmeg, and then sprinted towards the gap between Fukatsu Kazunari and Sawakita Eiji while crouching low!
"Great! We made it!"
Wow! His dribbling motion is so low!
"And he's incredibly fast!"
But to Miyagi Ryota's surprise, as soon as he broke through the encirclement, Fukatsu Kazunari and Sawakita Eiji immediately rushed back to the defensive position.
"Wow! Sannoh's defense is so tight!"
"I didn't expect them to maintain such a tight defense even at this stage of the game!"
"If Sannoh can successfully stop Shohoku's attack, they will be able to take the lead!"
At this moment, Miyagi Ryota passed the basketball to Rukawa Kaede. After receiving the ball, Rukawa Kaede only made brief contact with Sawakita Eiji before immediately passing the ball to Akagi Takenori in the paint.
That's right!
At the crucial moment!
The Shohoku brothers still chose Akagi Takenori, the gorilla!
After getting the basketball, Takenori Akagi once again backed down Mikio Kawata!
Successfully turned and jumped again!
As expected, Masashi Kawata, the fiercely protective brother, reappeared in front of Takenori Akagi.
This time, Takenori Akagi was fearless, gripping the basketball with both hands and slamming it towards the hoop.
Incredible!
The basketball was successfully thrown by Takenori Akagi!
but!
it is a pity!
The basketball hit the basketball hoop!
It didn't go in!
It's time to grab the rebound again!
"Get in here, you bastard!!!"
The super genius Sakuragi Hanamichi caught the basketball in mid-air with his right hand and slammed it down on the rim!
boom!!!
A tomahawk dunk!
Super genius Sakuragi Hanamichi once again performs an alley-oop dunk!
Basketball goes into the net!
Sakuragi Hanamichi scored another 2 points for Shohoku!
The super genius Sakuragi Hanamichi once again became the brightest star in the entire arena!
Everyone stared wide-eyed in utter shock at this god-like man!
