"Good heavens! What did I just see?"
"That Sakuragi Hanamichi! He actually gave Kawata Masashi a huge hot pot!"
"Oh my god! Wasn't Kawata Masashi supposed to defend Sakuragi Hanamichi? How come he ended up getting himself caught in the crossfire?"
"Sakuragi Hanamichi! That guy!!!"
"Just who is that red-haired Sakuragi Hanamichi?"
This match surprised the audience in so many ways.
The most shocking thing of all is Sakuragi Hanamichi, who is unfathomable to everyone!
Could he be an alien?
Alien Sakuragi Hanamichi?
While the Shohoku fans cheered, the Sannoh fans were anxious, urging Sawakita Eiji to unleash his power and take down the Shohoku team, putting an end to their arrogance.
Sawakita Eiji just successfully disrupted Rukawa Kaede's shot, preventing Rukawa from making it.
At this moment, although Sakuragi Hanamichi was performing very well, Sawakita Eiji's mind was still on Rukawa Kaede.
Sawakita Eiji scoffed, "Your performance just now seemed a bit off! Could it be that you were worried about your stamina, which is why you didn't perform well?"
Before Rukawa could answer, Sawakita Eiji continued, "As a first-year student, your strength is indeed impressive. But even if you are a highly anticipated newcomer, you can't possibly surpass me!"
Sawakita Eiji's expression was extremely arrogant, and his words were full of contempt.
Rukawa Kaede simply replied coldly, "You idiot!"
Sawakita Eiji narrowed his eyes and glared at Rukawa Kaede.
Rukawa Kaede also gave Sawakita Eiji a death stare and said firmly, "I will defeat you!"
Sawakita Eiji said expressionlessly, "I accept!"
"Look! Eiji Sawakita and Kaede Rukawa are facing off again!"
"Sawakita Eiji interfered with Rukawa Kaede's shot just now. Can Rukawa Kaede guard Sawakita Eiji this time?"
"It's hard to say. After Kawata Masashi grabbed the rebound and passed it to Sawakita Eiji, Rukawa Kaede's defense was also very good. Sawakita Eiji didn't even have a chance to directly challenge Rukawa Kaede."
"That's because Masashi Kawata was in a good position under the basket, which is why Eiji Sawakita chose to pass the ball."
Amidst the murmurs of the audience, the basketball indeed ended up in Eiji Sawakita's hands.
Sawakita Eiji's lips curled up, and he adopted a stance that suggested he was ready to face Rukawa Kaede head-on!
But the next moment, Rukawa's eyes widened. He didn't expect that Sawakita Eiji would choose to pass the ball again!
That's right!
Super ace Eiji Sawakita has once again chosen to pass the ball!
More importantly, the target of his pass this time was Masashi Kawata under the basket.
Clearly, it's because Sakuragi Hanamichi just gave Kawata Masashi a huge block, so Sawakita Eiji hopes that Kawata Masashi can score under the basket this time and regain his pride.
Masashi Kawata is in a good position right now, and based on his previous experience in matches, this shot is sure to go in.
But!
This game is abnormal!
The moment Kawata Masashi jumped with the ball, Sakuragi Hanamichi jumped right after him!
"Ugh! Damn it! That bastard Sakuragi Hanamichi! How did he catch up with me again?"
Masashi Kawata was utterly shocked. He had tried so hard to run and position himself, and had caught the basketball so smoothly, but Sakuragi Hanamichi, that monster, was still relentlessly chasing after him.
More importantly, Sakuragi Hanamichi's jumping ability is just too incredible!
Kawata Masashi, who was already in the air, could clearly feel that if he shot in the normal way, he would definitely get blocked by Sakuragi Hanamichi again!
So Masashi Kawata pulled back on the lever in mid-air, trying to avoid Sakuragi Hanamichi's block.
Sakuragi Hanamichi cursed, "Damn it! This bald gorilla knows this move too?"
However, the next moment, Sakuragi Hanamichi smiled.
Because this kind of layup is not a move that Masashi Kawata is good at at all.
With a "bang," the basketball hit the backboard.
Rebound.
It didn't go in.
Masashi Kawata managed to avoid Sakuragi Hanamichi's block, but the ball didn't go in at all.
"Ah!!! What a pity!!!"
"It's Sakuragi Hanamichi again!"
"That's awesome! He's so awesome!"
"Yeah! He just blocked Kawata Masashi's shot, and now he's made Kawata Masashi miss his shot! He's amazing!"
"What a monster!"
Miyagi Ryota, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and caught the basketball as it fell to the ground.
"Quick attack!"
"Attack quickly, everyone!"
In an instant, the entire Shohoku team sprinted forward!
Masashi Kawata was utterly shocked. As he hurriedly chased after Hanamichi Sakuragi, he exclaimed in astonishment, "He stayed in the air for such a long time! His ability to hang in the air is incredible!"
"He launched another rapid attack immediately after landing; what terrifying footwork!"
"To jump and block me with all your might and then immediately launch an attack, is something that most people simply cannot do!"
"And now that the competition has progressed to this level, it's completely impossible for anyone to achieve this. Is he even human?"
Masashi Kawata is starting to have doubts about life.
What shocked Kawata Masashi even more was that Sakuragi Hanamichi's sprint speed was just too fast!
Just moments ago he was under the basket of the Shohoku team, but in the blink of an eye, Sakuragi Hanamichi had already rushed into the Sannoh team's restricted area.
Sakuragi Hanamichi, what terrifying speed!
"Flower arrangement! It's up to you now!"
Ryota Miyagi skillfully passed the basketball to Hanamichi Sakuragi.
Although Sakuragi Hanamichi successfully got the basketball, Sannoh's Sawakita Eiji and Fukatsu Kazunari were not to be underestimated.
Fukatsu Kazunari and Sawakita Eiji were seen closely following Sakuragi Hanamichi, one on each side.
Eiji Sawakita: "You underestimate us!"
Kazunari Fukatsu: "You won't get away with this!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi's lips curled into a wicked smile as he said, "Oh? Then this genius will show you a layup for everyone, shall I?"
A layup by an ordinary player?
What the heck?
Both Sawakita Eiji and Fukatsu Kazunari wore puzzled expressions; they couldn't understand what the "commoner's layup" was all about.
But since it was Sakuragi Hanamichi who said it, we must not take it lightly.
Sakuragi Hanamichi jumped up with the ball!
Sawakita Eiji and Fukatsu Kazunari are experts at dribbling and layups. They have completely figured out Sakuragi Hanamichi's dribbling and layup style. The two of them jump in rhythm with each other. As long as Sakuragi Hanamichi dares to shoot, they will definitely teach him a lesson!
"Oh no! This is bad!"
"Sakuragi is being surrounded!"
"This is dangerous!"
"He shouldn't have forced his way in like that! His opponents are Sawakita and Fukatsu, after all!"
Just when everyone thought the shot was bound to miss, Sakuragi Hanamichi said cheekily, "Oh dear! That kind of layup is definitely something to save for crucial moments. Next time~"
Eiji Sawakita: "???"
Kazunari Fukatsu: "???"
The next moment, Eiji Sawakita and Kazunari Fukatsu showed shocked expressions!
Because they saw another figure appear beside them!
Number 11!
Shohoku's number 11!
It's Rukawa Kaede!
Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was double-teamed by Fukatsu Kazunari and Sawakita Eiji, flicked his wrist and passed the basketball to Rukawa Kaede, who was standing nearby.
As soon as Rukawa's right hand touched the basketball, he slammed it into the rim!
boom!!!
Aerial relay!
Tomahawk belt buckle!
Rukawa Kaede delivers a powerful one-handed dunk!
Another loud "boom"!
Sakuragi Hanamichi fell heavily to the ground.
Sawakita Eiji looked at Sakuragi Hana with a shocked expression and said, "You would do this for him?"
