"What?! What did I just see? Zebei is eating a huge hot pot again?"
"How terrifying! That number 10 from Shohoku! Sakuragi Hanamichi! He's absolutely terrifying!"
"He actually managed to block two huge shots from Eiji Sawakita in a row! He's the number one player in the national high school basketball world!"
"What on earth did Sakuragi Hanamichi eat to grow up like this?"
"What did he eat? I'm starting to suspect he's on drugs!!! How could a normal high school student be this strong? Is he even a normal person?"
"Hey bro, it's just that he put two big hats on Sawakita Eiji, you don't have to suspect him of taking drugs, do you?"
"Okawata just ate a huge hot pot from Sakuragi Hanamichi, and Sawakita Eiji then ate two huge hot pots from Sakuragi Hanamichi in a row! My God! What's going on with this Sakuragi Hanamichi?"
"No way! I'm going to report him! I'll make him get a urine test!"
"A urine test? You'd better prepare a large bucket!"
"???"
...
Sawakita Eiji himself never expected that he would be blocked by Sakuragi Hanamichi twice in a row, which is probably a stain on his basketball career.
Kawata Masashi approached Sawakita Eiji and asked, "Hey! Sawakita! Are you alright?"
With a murderous glint in his eyes, Eiji Sawakita said, "I will repay them a hundredfold!"
Seeing Eiji Sawakita's condition, Masashi Kawata was no longer worried.
Kawata Masashi whispered to Fukatsu Kazunari beside him, "His pride seems to have been hurt!"
Kazunari Fukatsu sighed, "Sigh! He's really been provoked this time! But it's also a good thing!"
Masashi Kawata nodded and said, "Yes! I don't know how long it's been since I've seen him like this."
Sakuragi Hanamichi's block caused the basketball to go out of bounds again, and the ball was still in possession of the Sannoh team.
Just like the previous scenario, the Sannoh team targeted Sawakita Eiji again, and the ball was once again scored by Sawakita Eiji.
The difference this time was that Sawakita Eiji's fighting was significantly more violent, like a speeding motorcycle, "boom boom boom" as he charged around, hitting very hard.
Anyone with eyes could see that the seal on Eiji Sawakita had been completely broken this time.
The one who broke this seal was none other than the super genius Sakuragi Hanamichi.
With Eiji Sawakita's goal, the score between Shohoku and Sannoh became 74-77.
The Sannoh team began to gradually extend their lead.
After making the shot, Eiji Sawakita arrogantly said to Kaede Rukawa, "Rukawa, your goal is to become the best in the nation, right?"
Rukawa Kaede: "Stop talking nonsense!"
Sawakita Eiji gave a wicked smile and said, "Perhaps after I go to America, you might become the number one in the country. But unfortunately, I've run into you now! I never expected there to be such a formidable character as you among the first-year students!"
"Hmph! Since that's how it is, then I'll cripple you before I go to America!"
For some reason, when he said this, Sawakita Eiji glanced at Sakuragi Hanamichi out of the corner of his eye.
That look seemed to say: You want to treat me to a big hot pot? Well, I'll beat you up, Rukawa Kaede!
Upon hearing this, Rukawa Kaede's expression changed; he felt both shock and anger.
This Sawakita Eiji is just too arrogant!
"Miyagi! Pass the ball to me!"
Rukawa Kaede actively asked Miyagi Ryota for the ball.
Ryota Miyagi successfully passed the basketball to Kaede Rukawa.
Rukawa Kaede wanted to fight Sawakita Eiji as soon as he got the basketball, but to his surprise, the moment the basketball was in his hands, Sawakita Eiji's hand was like lightning, quickly slapping the basketball.
"Snap!"
The basketball slipped from Rukawa's hands.
Eiji Sawakita successfully stole the basketball!
At this moment, all the other members of the Shohoku team were already on the Sannoh team's field.
Rukawa Kaede was the one standing on the outermost edge.
Therefore, after Eiji Sawakita stole the basketball, there was no defender in front of him at all.
"hateful!"
"Quick, after them!"
"Damn it! Zebei! Don't underestimate us!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi and the others hurriedly sprinted with all their might!
Sawakita Eiji, unleashing his full power, confidently declared, "Come on! Try and see if you can catch me!"
Despite all five members of the Shohoku team running at top speed, Sawakita Eiji was completely unleashing his full power.
With the basketball in his right hand, Eiji Sawakita leaped into the air!
boom!!!
Sawakita Eiji slammed his right hand hard against the basketball hoop!
A tomahawk dunk!
Wow! That was such a cool shot!
"Zebei! Awesome! Absolutely amazing!"
"Our Zebei is going all out! This is the Zebei we know!"
"Go Sannoh! Crush Shohoku!"
At this moment, the emotions of the Sannoh fans were finally released.
How could the nation's top high school student be humiliated like this? This is the kind of performance Sawakita Eiji should be in!
Coach Domoto, in the Sannoh team's rest area, also breathed a heavy sigh of relief: "Sawakita! Very good! In a one-on-one situation, absolutely no one can compare to you! No high school student can compare to you! No! Even college students, there aren't many who can beat you!"
Eiji Sawakita's goal changed the score once again.
At this point, the score between Shohoku and Sannoh was 74 to 79.
The Sannoh team has extended their lead to 5 points!
Although Shohoku currently has possession of the ball, Rukawa's consecutive mistakes have greatly impacted the team's morale.
"Look! The basketball is back in Rukawa's hands!"
"It's Rukawa Kaede and Sawakita Eiji fighting one-on-one again!"
"Rukawa Kaede protected the basketball very well this time!"
"Yeah, once bitten, twice shy. If Rukawa loses the ball again this time, Shohoku will be in trouble! Sannoh will definitely not let go of this opportunity to extend their lead!"
"Oh my god!"
"What?"
"Damn! It's really gone!"
Rukawa Kaede made a strong layup attempt, and Sawakita Eiji decisively took the shot!
Rukawa Kaede ate a huge hot pot from Sawakita Eiji!
Not only did Sawakita Eiji knock the basketball out of bounds, but Rukawa Kaede also crashed heavily to the ground!
Sawakita Eiji walked up to Rukawa Kaede and said condescendingly, "Rukawa Kaede, you are very strong, but in a one-on-one situation, you absolutely cannot beat me!"
As he said this, Eiji Sawakita reached out his hand to Rukawa, trying to help him up.
Rukawa Kaede looked at Sawakita Eiji with dissatisfaction, but did not reach out.
"Sawakita! Stop being so arrogant!" Sakuragi Hanamichi shoved Sawakita Eiji aside and reached out to help Rukawa Kaede up: "Rukawa, are you alright?"
"It's alright." Rukawa Kaede took Sakuragi Hanamichi's hand and stood up.
Sakuragi Hanamichi comforted him, "It's alright! Don't worry about it! I believe in you, you can definitely beat this guy!"
Immediately, Sakuragi Hanamichi turned around and glared at Sawakita Eiji: "What are you looking at? How did you like the two big hot pots I gave you earlier?"
Sawakita Eiji knew he couldn't win an argument with Sakuragi Hanamichi, so he didn't get entangled with him.
However, Sawakita Eiji inexplicably said, "Rukawa Kaede, what? You're going to hide behind this guy? Tch~"
Sakuragi Hanamichi immediately retorted, "Damn it! Sawakita! What do you mean?"
At the same time, Sakuragi Hanamichi hurriedly checked Rukawa Kaede's expression.
Rukawa Kaede remained expressionless and silent, simply walking towards the court to receive the ball.
But Rukawa's eyes said it all: he was determined to defeat Sawakita Eiji!
Mitsui Hisashi, who was out of bounds, passed the basketball to Rukawa Kaede.
Ignoring Ryota Miyagi's advice, Rukawa Kaede attacked again by force.
This time, Sawakita Eiji didn't get a chance to witness Rukawa Kaede's block, but the problem was that Sawakita Eiji's defense was too tight. Rukawa Kaede forced a shot while avoiding Sawakita Eiji's defense, and the basketball shot was very shaky.
"Bang!"
The basketball hit the backboard.
It didn't go in!
"The backboard! It's mine!"
Just when Masashi Kawata thought he had found a new way to counter Hanamichi Sakuragi, Sakuragi unleashed an unbelievable burst of terrifying jumping power!
"What? How can this kid jump so high?"
Masashi Kawada is confused!
Sakuragi Hanamichi grabbed the basketball with both hands in mid-air and slammed it towards the hoop!
boom!!!
Sakuragi Hanamichi delivers a powerful two-handed dunk!
Alley-oop dunk!
Hanging on the basketball hoop, Sakuragi Hanamichi still yelled at Sawakita Eiji, "Sawakita! Did you see that? This is my teamwork with Rukawa Kaede!"
"Rukawa is passing the ball to me!"
