By the time you realize it, you are already stuck in the mud and unable to save yourself.
Mibuchi Reio looked at Hinata Junpei who had fallen into the trap and was lured by his own [Earth], which not only allowed him to make a three-pointer but also a free throw. There was a cunning flash in his eyes, and what echoed in his mind was Akashi's arrangement during the halftime break.
"The odds of winning are already 90%, but Seirin hasn't completely lost his chance. The focus of the second half is on the pitcher Hinata and the ace Kagami. I'll deal with Kagami, and Hinata will be left to Reio..."
Hinata Junpei has indeed grown a lot, but he is not to be feared.
"Beep—defensive foul, Black Team No. 4."
Black team number 4, Hinata Junpei's number.
“Although the time was short, I had a lot of fun playing~”
Mibuchi Reio raised the corners of her mouth, looked at Hinata Junpei, and smiled gently.
He looked as if he was certain that he had failed.
But that's true. After all, Hinata Junpei has already committed three offenses.
Five times means he will be sent off.
Hinata Junpei still hadn't reacted until now, and his eyes were full of shock as he looked at Mibuchi Reio.
Using the ball pitched by Heaven as bait for Earth, what a terrible man!
But, more important than this, he didn't touch her!
His eyeballs began to tremble and he lost his composure.
How could it be? At such an important moment, no,
I can't...
"Number 4, raise your hand."
The referee looked at No. 4 who was reluctant to raise his hand and reminded him again.
The Japanese Junpei found the referee and argued stubbornly: "What did that just now mean? I clearly didn't touch him!"
His panicked state caused Aida Reiko to exclaim, "Hinata-kun!!!"
At this time, it is irrational to argue with the referee!
It's easy to be convicted of four offenses!
"Hands up, hurry up!"
The referee gave a third warning.
Hinata Junpei roared: "It was the other party who lost his balance. It has nothing to do with me!"
Yi Yuejun couldn't help shouting: "Hinata!"
Raise your hand!
"Please, I..."
Hyuga Junpei, who was already overwhelmed by panic and self-blame, could no longer hear the voices of his teammates and coach. His mind was full of trying to explain himself and ask the referee to withdraw the penalty.
"Beep - Black Team No. 4, technical foul."
The referee made a timeout gesture, blew the whistle and spoke to the scorer.
Technical fouls refer to all fouls committed by players that do not include contact with opposing players. Players must not ignore the referee's advice or use improper behavior.
He committed four fouls and had to be substituted out, and was replaced by Kuroko Tetsuya.
Kotaro Hayama chuckled: "That guy, what a stupid behavior, Sister Lingyang is really amazing~"
"It was indeed a very stupid act, but... he just wanted to win too much."
Midorima Shintaro, who was watching, also whispered.
On the sidelines, Hinata Junpei covered his face with one hand, gritted his teeth, and tried to calm himself down.
For Seirin now, the ace pitcher Junpei Hyuga is out of the game, Kuroko Tetsuya has lost his role, and the only one left is Kagami Taiga.
And his opponent is Akashi Seijuro.
It was visibly that the pressure on Kagami Daigo suddenly increased a lot. It could be said that the whole team's hopes rested on him.
