Tread...
Tread...
Two clear and powerful sounds of footsteps suddenly rang out on the court.
Takenori Akagi and Toru Hanagata jumped high almost at the same time, stretching their arms and grabbing the basketball hanging in the air like eagle claws.
"Equally matched." Seeing this tense scene, Kiminobu Kogure's eyes flashed with excitement and he couldn't help but whisper.
"No, look." At this moment, Ayako reminded.
Everyone looked intently and saw that Takenori Akagi's palm was half a section higher than Toru Hanagata's palm and touched the basketball first.
Snap...
With a slight crisp sound, the basketball was successfully tipped out by Takenori Akagi and fell downwards.
Then, the basketball fell steadily into the hands of Hanamichi Sakuragi.
Seeing this scene, everyone in Shohoku was cheered up and celebrated in their hearts.
"Great, we got the ball first." Shohoku's first-year players cheered excitedly in unison, with joyful smiles on their faces.
However, amidst the cheers, there were two people who did not join in: they were Jack Carter and Kara Smith.
At this moment, Jack Carter suddenly said something very inappropriate: "This is really outrageous."
Kara Smith also had a sighing look on her face.
At the same time.
Beep...
A sharp whistle suddenly sounded.
Hanamichi Sakuragi, who had received the basketball and was about to dribble the ball, suddenly paused, a panicked look on his face. He quickly turned to look at the referee and said in a crying voice, "What happened again? I didn't do anything. Did I commit another foul?"
At this moment, he was extremely panicked, fearing that he would make another mistake.
However, the referee ignored him and pointed his finger at Takenori Akagi, saying seriously, "Jump ball foul, Shohoku No. 4."
Snort...
Toru Hanagata raised the corner of his mouth slightly, snorted with glee, and then prepared to start serving and attacking.
Takenori Akagi didn't say anything, but his expression turned a little ugly, and there was a hint of annoyance in his eyes.
In the audience.
Seeing her brother committing a foul, Haruko Akagi showed a hint of embarrassment on her face. "My brother..."
Nozomi Takamiya opened her mouth in surprise and said, "I thought only Sakuragi would foul! I didn't expect that even a gorilla would foul."
The other side.
"Shoyo...Shoyo...Shoyo..."
Shoyo's cheerleaders cheered and waved their props excitedly, as if they were the ones who caused Shohoku's foul.
The enthusiastic cheers brought more pressure to the people of Shohoku, making their already nervous mood even heavier.
The ball fell into Shoyo's hands.
The Shohoku players quickly returned to defend, ready to defend.
"Okay, let's score first." Kenji Fujima skillfully hit the basketball with his left hand, stretched out his right hand and raised a finger, his eyes firm and his voice steady.
As soon as he finished speaking, Kenji Fujima immediately dribbled the ball and led the Shoyo players in launching a fierce offensive.
Shoyo's other players also acted quickly and found their own defensive targets.
Shoichi Takano moved quickly and stood firmly in front of Hanamichi Sakuragi.
Mitsuru Nagano followed Kaede Rukawa like a shadow.
Kazushi Hasegawa faced Hisashi Mitsui head-on, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
Toru Hanagata cleverly blocked Takenori Akagi and took a favorable position in the Shohoku penalty area.
For a moment, Shohoku's half seemed to be shrouded in a tense atmosphere, full of gunpowder.
Ryota Miyagi took the initiative to step forward and stood directly in front of Kenji Fujima.
Bang...
Bang...
Bang...
The sound of the basketball hitting the ground was particularly clear in the quiet arena.
Kenji Fujima looked at Ryota Miyagi in front of him, his eyes were calm without any fluctuation.
Suddenly, he collected the ball, raised it, and threw it directly into the inside of Shohoku right in front of Ryota Miyagi.
Ryota Miyagi looked at the basketball flying over his head, his eyes widened and he was shocked.
He instinctively wanted to reach out and block the ball, but due to the obvious height difference, his arm couldn't reach the trajectory of the basketball.
At this time, Shohoku's basket was occupied by Toru Hanagata and Takenori Akagi.
Toru Hanagata used his excellent positioning skills to firmly block Takenori Akagi behind him, then easily reached out and steadily caught the flying basketball.
After receiving the ball, Toru Hanagata took a step forward without hesitation, then quickly turned around and jumped, making a shooting motion.
Seeing this scene, Takenori Akagi naturally would not sit idly by.
Not to be outdone, he took a step forward and jumped up, thinking to himself, "As long as I can successfully suppress Hanagata here, Shohoku's momentum will definitely improve a lot."
Off the court.
When the Shohoku players saw Takenori Akagi about to block Toru Hanagata on the court, they became excited and started cheering for Takenori Akagi.
"Akagi, stop him like this." Kiminobu Kogure cheered loudly with anticipation on his face.
Tetsushi Shiozaki also shouted: "Come on, Captain Akagi, show him some color."
However, Jack Carter curled his lips in disdain and said softly: "What a fool."
Forehead...?
Hearing his words, Ayako looked confused and said in confusion: "Jack Carter, how can you say that Captain Akagi is an idiot?"
The other team members also cast blaming glances at him.
They were naturally unhappy to hear someone say that about Takenori Akagi, but because the other person was Jack Carter, they could only complain silently in their hearts and dared not show it.
Jack Carter ignored the unfriendly looks from the people around him and explained, "Didn't you notice what Captain Akagi looks like now?"
Appearance?
Everyone looked confused and had no idea what Jack Carter meant.
Ayako pressed, "Is there something wrong with Captain Akagi's appearance?"
Jack Carter said patiently: "Captain Akagi is a little too aggressive now compared to usual. If he rushes up to block the shot without thinking, he will only be taken advantage of by the opponent."
Ah?
After hearing Jack Carter's explanation, everyone in Shohoku fell silent.
For a moment, they couldn't tell whether what Jack Carter said was true or false.
However, the next moment, they were verified.
On the court.
Takenori Akagi clung to Toru Hanagata, trying to block his shot.
Toru Hanagata's body began to lean back and he made a fadeaway jump shot.
Fadeaway jump shot?
Seeing this, Takenori Akagi's pupils suddenly shrank and he was shocked. His hands moved faster involuntarily, trying to stop Toru Hanagata from shooting.
However, in the next moment.
Snap...
A crisp sound was heard.
Takenori Akagi's palm hit Toru Hanagata's arm squarely.
Toru Hanagata was a step late in shooting the ball.
Whoosh…
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, flew over Takenori Akagi's head, and then fell accurately into the basket.
Swish...
The basketball goes into the net.
Shohoku 0 vs 2 Shoyo.
Shoyo scored first.
At the same time.
Beep...
The referee's crisp whistle sounded on the court, and the referee immediately pointed at Takenori Akagi and said seriously: "Shohoku No. 4, foul, the ball counts, one penalty kick."
Boom...
This decision was like a bolt from the blue, exploding in the minds of everyone at Shohoku.
No one expected that Takenori Akagi would commit two consecutive fouls at the beginning of the game.
Takenori Akagi came back to his senses from his brief shock, with a look of confusion on his face, and slowly raised his hand.
"Ah, how could this happen?! You really were right." Kiminobu Kogure said helplessly with a frustrated look on his face.
Yasuharu Yasuda looked nervous and worried, "We fouled twice right at the start. This is not a good situation."
Tetsushi Shiozaki also looked worried and said, "Captain Akagi should be fine!"
Ayako frowned and turned to look at Coach Anzai beside her anxiously, and suggested: "Coach Anzai, do you want to call a timeout first?"
Mitsuyoshi Anzai stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then turned his head to look at Kara Smith and asked, "Kara, do you think we should call a timeout now?"
"Ah?" Kara Smith was slightly stunned. She obviously didn't expect Coach Anzai to suddenly ask for her opinion. Then she quickly calmed down and said seriously: "Not yet. The information has been given to everyone. As long as everyone does what we agreed before, there shouldn't be any problems."
Mitsuyoshi Anzai nodded. He had also carefully read the information that Kara Smith prepared for the team members.
He had to admit that he thought Kara Smith's talent was also extremely outstanding, and could be called a demon level.
He never imagined that someone could study the opponent's intelligence so meticulously, thoroughly and comprehensively.
In his opinion, if we were to ask who has the strongest individual strength in Shohoku right now, it would undoubtedly be Jack Carter.
However, if we talk about who is the most terrifying person in Shohoku, it has to be Kara Smith.
Kara Smith is simply the nightmare of all opposing teams. Her grasp and analysis of intelligence can give the team a great advantage in the game.
Even if Shohoku was originally just an ordinary team, with the assistance of Kara Smith, it can quickly grow into an elite team that no team dares to underestimate.
However, to everyone's surprise, in the following game, the situation on the field took a sharp turn for the worse, completely beyond Kara Smith's prior judgment and beyond the expectations of everyone at Shohoku.
