After jumping off the basketball hoop, Takenori Akagi arrogantly flexed his muscles at Masashi Kawata.
This infuriated Masashi Kawata so much that smoke was practically billowing from his nostrils!
Then, Akagi Takenori used his strong body to ram heavily into Mitsui Hisashi.
"That was a great pass! A great pass, Mitsui!" Takenori Akagi shouted excitedly.
"Ouch!!! That hurts!!!"
Mitsui Hisashi's face was contorted in a grimace, like a bullied little wife.
This scene made the brothers around him burst into laughter.
The person most deeply moved was Kiminobu Kogure. His eyes welled up with tears, his fists clenched, and he said in a trembling voice, "That's right! That's it! To dominate the whole country! To dominate the whole country..."
Back then, dominating the whole country was just a dream.
Now, they've done it!
The final of the national tournament is a battle between Shohoku and Sannoh!
These three years of high school have truly been a dream!
Fortunately, it ended well!
Kogure Kiminobu rubbed his eyes hard, then roared, "Go! Go! We're the strongest!!!"
The brilliant teamwork between Mitsui Hisashi and Akagi Takenori just now ignited the passion of the entire Shohoku team.
"Hold on tight!"
"Everyone, hold the line!"
"Don't let them score!!!"
The five members of Xiangbei High School were in high spirits and ready for battle.
Masashi Kawata's face was extremely grim. He looked at Kazunari Fukatsu, pointed at Takenori Akagi, and said, "Kazunari Fukatsu, pass me the ball! I'm going to get back at them! That damn bastard! He's really pissed me off!"
Kawata Masashi grew angrier and angrier, cursing, "You bastard! A gorilla, huh? You really do look exactly like an extinct gorilla!"
Kazunari Fukatsu smiled slightly and nodded.
The Sannoh team's offensive pace remains very fast.
However, this time is a little different.
Before Masashi Kawata could even reach the basket, Kazunari Fukatsu passed the ball to him.
Akagi Takenori, positioned under the basket, was ready to defend, waiting for Kawata Masashi to bring the ball in.
But the next moment, Takenori Akagi's eyes widened: "Ah! What? He actually!"
Before he could finish speaking, Takenori Akagi rushed forward and jumped to block the shot.
As soon as he got the basketball, Masashi Kawata immediately took a shot!

Akagi Takenori was too slow to react; by the time he jumped, the basketball had already passed over his head.
With a "whoosh" sound!
The basketball swished through the net!
Sannoh's powerful center, Masashi Kawata, scored two points with a mid-range jumper.
The score between Shohoku and Sannoh became 13-10.
Akagi Takenori frowned and said, "Damn it! I didn't expect him to have this trick up his sleeve!"
Mitsui Hisashi reminded him, "Akagi! Have you forgotten? This East African ape used to play small forward!"
Akagi Takenori suddenly realized.
Objectively speaking, in this respect, Takenori Akagi is indeed inferior to Masashi Kawata.
Just as Takenori Akagi was pondering how to deal with Masashi Kawata, he was suddenly stunned because he saw Masashi Kawata retaliate by flexing his muscles.
"Hmph!"
Masashi Kawada smiled smugly.
Akagi Takenori cursed angrily, "Damn it!"
Suddenly, tensions rose between the gorilla and the East African ape-man, and the atmosphere was thick with the smell of gunpowder!
"Wow! No wonder he's Sannoh Kogyo's starting center!" Aida Hikoichi couldn't help but exclaim. "I didn't expect his mid-range shot to be so good! So consistent!"
Seeing that Shohoku was about to launch another attack, Aida Hikoichi hesitated for a moment, but then mustered up his courage and asked, "Coach, what do you think this time?"
Coach Taoka cursed inwardly, "Look, look! What are you looking at! No one will think you're mute if you don't speak!"
But Coach Taoka forcibly concealed his emotions and said, "This time! Ichinokura Satoshi will definitely raise the level of defense again!"
At this point, a glint flashed in Coach Taoka's eyes, as if everything was under his control!
"What? That Ichinokura Satoshi can raise his defensive level again? Is he that good?"
Aida Hikoichi was utterly shocked.
Coach Taoka said smugly, "Do you know how strong Ichinokura Satoshi's stamina is?"
"He never lost a marathon organized by the school, and even the track and field team couldn't beat him."
"He never asked for leave or slacked off during team training camps. Even star players like Kazunari Fukatsu, Eiji Sawakita, and Masashi Kawata would sometimes slack off, but he never did!"
"The most outrageous thing is that once, he suddenly had a stomachache while taking an exam. He endured the excruciating pain and finished the exam before being taken away by an ambulance. It turned out that he had acute appendicitis when he got to the hospital!"
"That's acute appendicitis! The pain is almost as bad as childbirth!"
Aida Hikoichi gasped, his face filled with shock.
How could there be such people in this world?
He's the king of endurance!
Coach Taoka was very satisfied with Aida Hikoichi's reaction. He squinted and asked leisurely, "Hikoichi! Is this the first time you've heard of Ichinokura Satoshi's story?"
Upon hearing this, Aida Hikoichi nodded without hesitation.
Sudden!
Coach Taoka gritted his teeth, mustered all his strength, and slammed his right hand down on Aida Hikoichi's head.
"ah!!!"
Aida Hikoichi received a resounding flick on the forehead!
Coach Taoka, his face full of anger, rebuked, "You aspire to be a basketball reporter! How come you can't even gather this much information? You've disappointed me greatly!"
"Coach, I, I..."
Aida Hikoichi felt extremely wronged, but he was powerless to refute it, so he could only pitifully rub his head.
At this moment, gasps of surprise rang out from the audience.
"Wow! Look! It's Ichinokura Satoshi!"
"Ichinokura Satoshi has become like Mitsui Hisashi's shadow, completely clinging to him!"
"This is giving Mitsui Hisashi absolutely no chance to receive the ball!"
This time, Ichinokura Satoshi aims to stop Mitsui Hisashi from the very beginning, preventing him from even getting the ball, let alone shooting a three-pointer.
Mitsui Hisashi charged left and right, using all sorts of feints, but he couldn't shake off Ichinokura Satoshi's defense at all.
"Damn it! Can't we shake him off even like this?" Mitsui Hisashi looked anxious, then sneered at Ichinokura Satoshi, "Hmph! With your fighting style, you'll definitely collapse from exhaustion before I do!"
Ichinokura Satoshi remained unmoved and silently continued his defense.
Coach Domoto of the Sannoh team showed a satisfied expression. "Ichinokura! Well done!"
Coach Gao Tou of the Hainan team analyzed: "The reason why Shohoku is able to lead Sannoh by 3 points is because of the 3 three-pointers that Mitsui Hisashi just made. Now, as long as Sannoh can limit Mitsui Hisashi's three-pointers, then Sannoh may be able to gradually control the rhythm of the game."
At this moment, the basketball was in Miyagi Ryota's hands, and his original plan was to pass the basketball to Mitsui Hisashi.
However, given the current situation, it's clearly impossible to pass the ball to Mitsui Hisashi.
Not only that, Miyagi Ryota noticed that everyone on the Sannoh team had tightened their defense, and everyone on the Shohoku team was being tightly guarded.
For a moment, Miyagi Ryota couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to.
Just then!
Suddenly, Kazunari Fukatsu bent over and launched a surprise attack on Ryota Miyagi.
Steal the ball!
Ryota Miyagi quickly turned around to protect the ball.
It was a close call, but no real danger.
The basketball was not stolen by Kazunari Fukatsu.
The moment Miyagi Ryota turned and dribbled, he also shook off Fukatsu Kazunari's defense, so he simply dribbled the ball and sprinted towards the inside.
"That short point guard!"
Is he planning to get straight to the point?
"So brave?"
Miyagi Ryota dribbled the ball all the way to the basket!
Jump!
Make your move!
Shoot!
Ryota Miyagi was very fast and his movements were very smooth, and Masashi Kawata under the basket didn't have time to react in time.
but!
A white figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
Number 9!
Sannoh Industrial's No. 9!
It's Eiji Sawakita, the super ace of the Sannoh team!
Just as Little Whirlwind Miyagi Ryota was about to make a successful layup!
boom!!!
A huge hot pot!!!
Sawakita Eiji rewarded Miyagi Ryota with a huge hot pot!
At that moment, everyone gasped in surprise!
This giant hot pot is absolutely amazing!
But the next moment, everyone showed an even more shocked expression!
Suddenly, Sakuragi Hanamichi appeared, leaping high and catching the ball in mid-air. The instant his hands touched the basketball, he pushed it back towards the hoop.
It's an alley-oop shot!
The basketball swished through the net!
Sakuragi Hanamichi scored 2 points for Shohoku!
Sawakita Eiji, who had just been feeling quite smug, was instantly stunned!
This red-haired Sakuragi Hanamichi! Is he really that amazing?
Not only was Sawakita Eiji stunned, but everyone who knew Sakuragi Hanamichi also showed a shocked expression.
He is indeed a genius! But isn't he a bit too much of a genius?
He's an absolute genius!
After landing, Sakuragi Hanamichi smiled and looked at the shocked Sawakita Eiji, asking, "How was that? Was my move any good?"
Immediately afterwards, Sakuragi Hanamichi walked over to Miyagi Ryota, put his arm around Miyagi Ryota's shoulder, and said to Sawakita Eiji, "Sawakita, Miyagi did that on purpose just now!"
"Intentional?" Sawakita Eiji was even more confused.
Ryota Miyagi was also a little confused.
But Sakuragi Hanamichi secretly patted Miyagi Ryota's arm quickly with his hand, while also winking at Miyagi Ryota.
Miyagi Ryota instantly understood.
So, Ryota Miyagi shamelessly said to Eiji Sawakita, "That's right! I'm not afraid to tell you! I did it on purpose!"
"Huh?" Sawakita Eiji looked completely bewildered.
Ryota Miyagi wore an extremely smug expression. "I knew you'd be there! Give me a block! I blocked your shot on purpose! So I could pass the ball to Hanamichi!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi immediately broke into an exaggerated smile and chimed in, "Hahaha! That's right! That's exactly it!"
"Only two geniuses like us could work together so perfectly!"
"Yes! That's right!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi and Miyagi Ryota were in perfect harmony.
As expected, shamelessness is contagious!
Sawakita Eiji: "..."
