On the basketball court, everyone is eager to prove themselves; no one wants to be just a bystander.
This often leads to people getting the ball and immediately shooting or going for a layup.
If it's casual basketball, a game organized between friends, then it doesn't matter, as long as you have fun.
But we're in the middle of a competition!
When playing a game, the first thing to think about is which way to score is the safest, and that's the method you should choose.
If a teammate has a better chance, then you should definitely pass the ball to them first.
Clearly, Rukawa Kaede has a better chance right now.
However, Kuwata Jiro did not pass it to Rukawa Kaede. It wasn't that he was targeting Rukawa Kaede, but rather that he was currently preoccupied with proving himself.
Kuwata Jiro dribbled the ball and went for a layup!
boom!
Big hot pot!
Akagi Takenori rewarded Kuwata Jiro with a huge hot pot!
Kuwata Jiro stood there, stunned.
Kiminobu Kogure quickly grabbed the basketball.
Akagi Takenori and Kogure Kiminobu launched a rapid attack simultaneously!
Rukawa didn't even glance at Kuwata Jiro; he chose to immediately return to defense.
But Rukawa was a step too late for Akagi Takenori and Kogure Kiminobu!
First-year student Kentaro Ishii managed to keep up with Kiminobu Kogure and tried to defend him, but Kogure cleverly passed the ball to Takenori Akagi.
With a "boom"!
Takenori Akagi delivers a powerful two-handed dunk!
The senior team scores!
The first-year students were all stunned by Akagi Takenori's powerful dunk! As expected of Captain Akagi Takenori!
Rukawa Kaede remained unmoved.
However, Rukawa Kaede glanced at his teammates, seemingly having made a decision.
It's the first grader's turn to serve, and the basketball immediately ends up in Rukawa Kaede's hands again.
This time, Rukawa dribbled slowly, gradually making his way to the midfield area.
At this moment, the senior players were all on high alert. Everyone knew that Rukawa Kaede was very strong and dared not underestimate him.
Yasuda Yasuharu came up to defend Rukawa Kaede, attempting to steal the ball.
Rukawa Kaede dribbled behind his back, dodging Yasuda Yasuharu, and then quickly made a forward run.
Kogure Kiminobu rushed forward to cover for him.
Rukawa Kaede raised the basketball with both hands, preparing to shoot.
Kogure Kiminobu quickly jumped up, attempting to block the shot, but was shocked to discover in mid-air that it was actually Rukawa Kaede's feint!
Rukawa Kaede used a feint to get past Kogure Kiminobu!
Immediately afterwards, Rukawa Kaede pulled up for a jump shot!
"Whoosh!"
The basketball was thrown from Rukawa's hand, forming a perfect arc!
Everyone was impressed by Rukawa Kaede's brilliant maneuver and looked on in amazement.
But just then!
With a loud "boom!"
Big hot pot!
Akagi Takenori actually blocked Rukawa Kaede's shot!
The entire audience was shocked!
The inside is Akagi Takenori's main territory. Rukawa Kaede's shot was too close to the basket, so it wasn't high enough, which gave Akagi Takenori the opportunity to block it!
At this moment, Rukawa Kaede, who was always calm and collected, narrowed his eyes and took a serious look at Akagi Takenori, who was going all out!
Rukawa Kaede was not discouraged by being blocked by Akagi Takenori; on the contrary, it fueled his fighting spirit!
The others in the arena looked at Akagi Takenori in shock. As expected of Captain Akagi Takenori! He just rewarded Kuwata Jiro with a big hot pot, and now he's rewarded the super rookie Rukawa Kaede with a big hot pot!
The basketball that was knocked away did not fly out of bounds, but was caught by Kiminobu Kogure.
It's the same old formula, the same old rhythm: Kiminobu Kogure and Takenori Akagi quickly launch a counterattack!
However, this time Rukawa Kaede caught up with them!
At this moment, it was still Kentaro Ishii who rushed up to defend first. He rushed up again to defend Kiminobu Kogure. Kiminobu Kogure glanced at Takenori Akagi's position, found an opening, and passed the ball directly to Takenori Akagi.
Takenori Akagi firmly grasped the basketball.
However, since Akagi Takenori was a little distance from the basketball hoop, he opted for a mid-range shot instead of a dunk.
Akagi Takenori is quite confident in his ability to make mid-range shots; he is certain he can make them.
With a "whoosh".
The basketball shot also had a very beautiful arc!
but!
Rukawa Kaede appeared in front of them without them noticing!
Rukawa Kaede jumped high into the air!
With a loud "boom!"
Big hot pot!
Rukawa Kaede even gave Akagi Takenori a huge hot pot!
The basketball was knocked out of bounds!
At that moment, the entire audience was shocked once again!
Even Coach Anzai, who had been sitting calmly by, exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't expect Rukawa Kaede to be this strong!"
The usually composed Akagi Takenori stared at Rukawa Kaede in astonishment, "When did he appear in that position? And he was able to block my shot!"
Haruko Akagi and Ayako let out screams.
The guy who got blocked was Takenori Akagi! The best center in Kanagawa Prefecture!
More importantly, Akagi Takenori had just given Rukawa a big hot pot, and in the blink of an eye, Rukawa returned it!
That's amazing!
Sakuragi Hanamichi was also admiring Rukawa Kaede's superb basketball skills, but soon Sakuragi Hanamichi felt uncomfortable!
He noticed that Haruko Akagi's gaze towards Kaede Rukawa was strange!
At this moment, Haruko Akagi's eyes were clearly sparkling with countless little stars!
He looks like a lovesick fool!
Seriously? Rukawa just gave the gorilla a big hot pot, and Haruko fell for him?
Besides, he's your brother, the gorilla! You see your brother get cheated on, and you're excitedly swooning over him? That's going too far!
No! I need to get on stage right now!
Since the basketball was slapped away by Rukawa, the senior team is currently passing the ball on the outside.
Yasuharu Yasuda passed the ball to Kiminobu Kogure.
Kogure Kiminobu's first reaction was to look at Akagi Takenori.
But at this moment, Rukawa was blocking Akagi's path. Considering the big block Rukawa had just made on Akagi, Kogure Kiminobu felt that it was not the right time to pass the ball to Akagi.
And right now, there's no one guarding Kiminobu Kogure, who's standing just outside the three-point line.
Kiminobu Kogure chose to shoot a three-pointer!
With a "whoosh," the basketball was released!
The basketball hit the outside of the hoop.
The basketball missed!
Go for the rebound!
Akagi Takenori jumped confidently, and Rukawa Kaede jumped at the same time!
With a "smack"!
A giant hand grabbed the basketball!
It's Rukawa Kaede!
Rukawa Kaede actually managed to get a rebound right under Akagi Takenori's nose!
Rukawa Kaede, having secured the rebound, didn't make any unnecessary moves and immediately launched a counterattack with the ball.
His teammates tried to run and support Rukawa, but Rukawa didn't even look at them.
He's going to go it alone!
He's going to take down a dragon!
Yasuda Yasuharu rushed to defend, but Rukawa Kaede turned and dribbled past him!
Kogure Kiminobu rushed to defend, but Rukawa Kaede dribbled past him through the legs!
"Ah! He's so fast! I can't keep up!" Tetsushi Shiozaki tried to defend, but he couldn't keep up with Rukawa's speed!
Akagi Takenori chased after Rukawa Kaede relentlessly, but to no avail.
Right now, Rukawa Kaede is performing all by himself!
Rukawa Kaede had already rushed to the basket.
He caught the ball with one hand!
Jump!
Slam Dunk!
Rukawa Kaede delivers a powerful one-handed dunk!
boom!
Goal!
Rukawa grabbed the rebound himself, dribbled past his opponent, and drove all the way from under the opposite basket to under the basket on this side, before slamming in a powerful dunk!
The entire audience was shocked once again!
