At the crucial moment, Rukawa stepped up. He burst out with amazing speed and arrived at the basket in time. He also unleashed an even more terrifying jumping power, making an aerial interception in front of Sendoh!
At that moment, the entire venue erupted in cheers!
"Rukawa Kaede! Rukawa Kaede!"
"Well done, Rukawa! Keep it up!"
Wow! Rukawa Kaede is so fast!
"Yes! Shohoku is finally going to start their counterattack!"
Rukawa Kaede's fan club instantly revived, excitedly and spiritedly performing a cheerleading dance.
Haruko Akagi and the others watched with shining eyes as Rukawa Kaede launched a quick attack.
The most excited were the Shohoku team's bench members, who jumped up, raised their fists, and shouted loudly!
Sakuragi Hanamichi watched Rukawa Kaede's retreating figure and said happily, "As expected of Rukawa Kaede! He found his rhythm so quickly and even stole the ball from Sendoh. Impressive!"
Even the Ryonan players exclaimed in disbelief, "Someone actually managed to steal the ball right in front of Sendoh-senpai, and with such an aerial interception! Rukawa is amazing!"
The moment Rukawa launched his fast break, all the members of Ryonan immediately began to defend.
Sendoh Akira was also chasing Rukawa Kaede at an extremely fast speed; he would never allow Rukawa Kaede to score on a fast break!
At the same time, Tomoyuki Uekusa, who was closest to Rukawa, rushed forward to defend him, trying to stop him.
Rukawa Kaede didn't slow down at all; he charged straight at Uekusa Tomoyuki!
With a "whoosh," Rukawa Kaede passed his left hand to his right, feinting past Uekusa Tomoyuki!
Rukawa Kaede broke through Uekusa Tomoyuki's defense with his incredible speed and skillful footwork. Uekusa Tomoyuki even felt that his defense was over before it even began!
At the same time, Kohei Hiroaki had already filled in and rushed up to fill the gap.
As expected, Koujiro Hiroaki had already positioned himself, spreading his arms to intercept Rukawa Kaede head-on.
With a loud "bang!"
Rukawa Kaede's arm swiftly slammed the basketball down at an angle, and the basketball passed right through Koshino Hiroaki's legs!
At the same time, Rukawa Kaede immediately sprinted and rushed behind Koshino Hiroaki, skillfully completing a nutmeg move!
Rukawa Kaede dribbled past two players in a row!
"My God! Is he planning to pull off a dragon attack?"
The players of Shohoku had witnessed Rukawa Kaede's spectacular solo run, and now they felt as if the scene of Shohoku's internal practice match was about to repeat itself.
The person who appeared next to Rukawa Kaede at this moment was Ryoji Ikegami from the Ryonan team.
But Ryoji Ikegami was positioned to the side of Kaede Rukawa. He tried to rush up to defend Rukawa, but Rukawa was just too fast, and he couldn't keep up at all!
Rukawa Kaede dribbled past three players in a row!
At that moment, the basketball hoop was right in front of him, and there was no one under the hoop!
Rukawa Kaede ran quickly toward the basketball hoop!
He's going to dribble and go for a layup!
Moreover, judging from Rukawa's movements, it seems he's about to make the same dunking move as Sendoh Akira just now!
As expected of Rukawa Kaede!
At this moment, no one could stop Rukawa Kaede's rapid sprint!
But just then, out of the corner of his eye, Rukawa caught a glimpse of a figure sprinting at top speed!
It's Sendoh Akira!
But Rukawa Kaede didn't seem to be intimidated at all. Judging from his posture, he seemed to want to have a one-on-one fight with Sendoh Akira!
Rukawa Kaede bent his knees, grabbed the ball with both hands, and jumped!
At the same time, Sendoh Akira also jumped immediately!
Surprisingly, Sendoh Akira jumped even higher than Rukawa Kaede. His arm was already raised high, and his palm was higher than Rukawa Kaede's reach. If Rukawa Kaede dared to make a move, Sendoh Akira would most likely give him a big hot pot!
At that moment, Rukawa Kaede had already jumped up. According to the rules of basketball, Rukawa Kaede, who had jumped up, had to throw the basketball out!
What should we do?
"It's over! Rukawa's shot is definitely going to be blocked by Sendoh."
"Oh my god! Shohoku team is having such a tough time!"
"This Sendoh Akira is a monster, how did he manage to catch up with us?"
"Poor Rukawa Kaede. I thought he could pull off a fast break and then dunk like a madman."
At this moment, countless thoughts surged in the minds of countless people, but without exception, they all believed that Rukawa Kaede was destined to fail.
Even Sendoh Akira, who jumped up, was very confident that he could stop the ball.
Suddenly, Sendoh Akira frowned!
Rukawa's movements are wrong!
Rukawa Kaede, who was about to raise his hand to pass the ball, suddenly pressed it down again!
Rukawa Kaede was actually passing the ball!
But there's no one here!
To whom did he pass it on?
Suddenly, a huge figure appeared in the corner of Sendoh Akira's eye!
It was Takenori Akagi!
Suddenly, Akagi Takenori appeared behind Rukawa Kaede!
Sendoh Akira's eyes widened in shock!
Jun Uozumi of Ryonan was equally shocked. From the moment Takenori Akagi started running, Jun Uozumi tried to catch up with Takenori Akagi, but he failed. He couldn't keep up with Takenori Akagi's speed!
Rukawa seemed to have known all along that Akagi would be in this position, and he passed the basketball directly to Akagi.
Takenori Akagi caught the basketball that Kaede Rukawa passed to him steadily.
Akagi Takenori grabbed the basketball with both hands, bent his knees, and jumped!
boom!
Takenori Akagi, hands, violence, dunk!
With his hands gripping the basketball hoop, Takenori Akagi's face contorted in a ferocious expression as he let out a roar that had been suppressed for a long time!
That man is back!
This is the true strength of Takenori Akagi, the number one center in Kanagawa!
In an instant, the entire basketball arena erupted in cheers!
"Wow!!! Gorilla! You're awesome!!!"
"Captain Takenori Akagi!!! That's amazing!!!"
"That number 4 from Shohoku is amazing! His dunk was so powerful!"
"As expected of Captain Takenori Akagi!"
Akagi Takenori jumped down from the basketball hoop with a determined look in his eyes. He walked towards Rukawa Kaede first and extended his right fist.
Rukawa Kaede immediately extended his right fist.
Their fists collided.
Akagi Takenori praised, "Rukawa Kaede, well done!"
Rukawa replied, "Your dunk was amazing!"
Afterwards, Takenori Akagi went to Kogure Kiminobu, Yasuda Yasuharu, and Shiozaki Tetsushi to encourage them.
Akagi Takenori shouted, "Don't let them score a single point! Go team!"
Kogure Kiminobu immediately shouted excitedly, "Alright! From now on, let's launch a counterattack!"
Yasuharu Yasuda and Tetsuji Shiozaki raised their fists, "Counterattack!"
Rukawa looked at Sendoh Akira, as if to say, "What you can do, I can do too."
Jun Uozumi looked at Takenori Akagi with a solemn expression and murmured, "Akagi!"
