Takenori Akagi immediately attacked Jun Uozumi upon entering the game, scoring 2 points for Shohoku.
At this point, Ryonan had 76 points and Shohoku had 72 points, with the score difference narrowing to 4 points again, and only a little over 2 minutes left in the game.
Jun Uozumi glared at Takenori Akagi with resentment, "Akagi! You bastard..."
Akagi Takenori happened to hear Uozumi Jun's voice, turned around and looked at him, saying sarcastically, "Uozumi, what's wrong? Bring it on! Don't hold back!"
Jun Uozumi clenched his fists; he was determined to fight back and score under the basket!
We can't lose to Akagi!
After scoring, Takenori Akagi immediately shouted to the Shohoku players, "Come on! Let's defend against Ryonan's attack this time!"
"good!"
The Shohoku players were full of fighting spirit, high spirits, and confidence!
This is the influence that Takenori Akagi has!
At this point, Shohoku's interior defense was extremely strong, with Akagi Takenori as a powerful center and Sakuragi Hanamichi as a monstrous, unpredictable power forward. It's safe to say that Shohoku's interior defense was very strong, and they would almost always dominate the rebounds!
But at this very moment, Jun Uozumi kept waving for the ball, wanting to defeat Takenori Akagi in the paint.
Seeing how eager Jun Uozumi was to get the ball, Hiroaki Koshino found a suitable opportunity to pass the basketball to Jun Uozumi.
After getting the basketball, Jun Uozumi chose to shoot without saying a word!
This completely stunned Coach Taoka, who was watching from the sidelines!
Coach Taoka couldn't help but yell, "Uozumi, what are you doing?"
Uozumi actually stood near the free-throw line and shot!
At this moment, not only Coach Taoka, but all the other Ryonan players were shocked.
Because, as everyone knows, the probability of Jun Uozumi scoring a goal from this position is extremely low!
This is not Uozumi Jun's forte at all. Every time it's Uozumi Jun's turn to shoot free throws, he almost never makes a shot.
But now he's standing in this position to shoot. What is he trying to do?
Actually, Jun Uozumi had no choice. With Hanamichi Sakuragi and Takenori Akagi blocking the way under the basket, the ball couldn't be passed to him at all. So he had to rush out to receive the pass.
At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: to put the ball in the basket.
In fact, this position is not particularly far away; it's slightly closer to the blue rim than the free-throw line.
So Jun Uozumi wanted to take a gamble!
Akagi Takenori was well aware of Uozumi Jun's situation, and when he saw Uozumi Jun shoot directly, he immediately shouted to Sakuragi Hanamichi, "Sakuragi! Get ready to grab the rebound!"
Just as expected!
Jun Uozumi's pitch missed.
The basketball hit the backboard.
Sakuragi Hanamichi and Akagi Takenori jumped at the same time!
Surprisingly, the moment Jun Uozumi finished shooting, he also rushed towards the backboard.
The moment he released the pitch, Jun Uozumi had a premonition that the ball would not go in. He was even more furious. Was he going to lose to Takenori Akagi again?
Unwilling to admit defeat, Jun Uozumi unleashed all his strength and leaped into the air.
Surprisingly, it was Jun Uozumi's hands that touched the basketball first.
Jun Uozumi actually threw himself in and grabbed it!
Sakuragi Hanamichi was a little incredulous. "Holy crap! Is Uozumi on drugs? How can this even work?"
The moment Jun Uozumi touched the ball with both hands, a chilling smile spread across his face. "It's mine!"
But just then, a huge hand suddenly came up from below!
It's Takenori Akagi!
Akagi Takenori's right hand touched the bottom of the basketball, directly knocking it out of Uozumi Jun's hands!
With a "whoosh," the basketball flew out.
At that moment, a figure rushed towards the basketball!
It's Sendoh Akira!
The basketball has fallen into Sendoh Akira's hands!
"Very good!"
"The Way of Immortality! The Way of Immortality!"
"It's still ours! Keep throwing!"
At that moment, cheers erupted from the Ryonan team's bench.
After receiving the basketball, Sendoh Akira decisively jumped and shot!
With a "whoosh," the basketball was released smoothly.
Judging by this momentum, the ball is sure to go in!
But just then!
Akagi Takenori suddenly leaped up and pounced on him!
After making his move, Sendoh Akira frowned slightly, because he sensed that Akagi Takenori had touched the basketball.
Immediately afterwards, Akagi Takenori shouted, "Sakuragi! Get the rebound!"
really!
Just now, Akagi Takenori's hand actually touched the basketball!
"Wow! Even Sendoh Akira's shot was interfered with by Akagi Takenori!"
"Yes! Takenori Akagi is really amazing!"
"It's also possible that he had a long rest period after his injury and had plenty of energy."
As expected, Sendoh Akira's shot missed.
Sakuragi Hanamichi gritted his teeth and desperately pushed Uozumi Jun outwards.
At this moment, Jun Uozumi didn't care how disgusting Sakuragi Hanamichi's buttocks were, and he fought desperately against Sakuragi Hanamichi to grab the rebound.
With a "bang," the basketball hit the backboard.
Immediately afterwards, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Uozumi Jun jumped at the same time!
"Ah! Sakuragi, I won't let you have it!"
"Uozumi! You won't get your way! This ball is mine!"
"Snap!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi's hands were the first to grab the basketball, and then he held it protectively in his arms.
"Well done!" Akagi Takenori roared, then shouted at Kogure Kiminobu, Yasuda Yasuharu, and Shiozaki Tetsushi, "Quick! Counterattack!"
Kogure Kiminobu had already sped off at top speed!
Ryoji Ikegami cursed under his breath and hurriedly chased after Kiminobu Kogure, but he couldn't catch up at all.
Because Kogure Kiminobu was certain that Sakuragi Hanamichi would grab the rebound even before Sakuragi Hanamichi jumped.
There is indeed an element of gambling involved.
However, Kogure Kiminobu's gamble paid off, and Sakuragi Hanamichi indeed grabbed the rebound!
The moment Sakuragi Hanamichi landed after grabbing the rebound, Kogure Kiminobu had already sprinted across half the court.
Without hesitation, Sakuragi Hanamichi tossed the ball to Kogure Kiminobu, shouting, "Glasses-kun, catch!"
With a "whoosh"!
The basketball flew rapidly toward Kiminobu Kogure.
Kogure Kiminobu received Sakuragi Hanamichi's pass steadily and then dribbled to the basket for a layup.
In the blink of an eye, Kogure Kiminobu had already jumped up and steadily passed the basketball towards the hoop.
With a "whoosh".
The basketball goes into the net.
Kiminobu Kogure scores 2 points for Shohoku!
Shohoku's score is now 74, and Ryonan's score is 76, with only a 2-point difference!
At that moment, the entire venue erupted in cheers!
"Wow! That pass and play just now was so cool!"
"Yeah! Sakuragi Hanamichi had just grabbed the rebound when Kogure Kiminobu was already almost under the basket. That's amazing."
"Kogure Kiminobu's last shot was also very steady. If he had missed that last shot, he would probably have been scolded to death by his teammates!"
The Shohoku team's bench jumped up immediately, shouting, "That was awesome!"
"Very good!"
"Only 2 points left in the gap! Come on everyone!"
Go Shohoku!
