Inside the venue.
Bang...
Bang...
Two dull but clear sounds of iron doors opening, like an invisible force, instantly penetrated the originally noisy air and reached the ears of everyone in the audience.
The bustling and noisy auditorium suddenly became quiet, as if time had stopped at that moment.
Everyone's eyes, as if attracted by a magnet, were cast toward the two opened doors of the player's passage off the court.
Tread...
Tread...
Tread...
Light but gradually clear footsteps came from the player passages on both sides.
The players of Shohoku and Toyotama filed out one after another and slowly appeared in the audience's field of vision.
Boom...
In an instant, cheers and shouts erupted from the audience, rising and falling like waves.
"Toyotama...more power...defeat Shohoku...Toyotama...more power...defeat Shohoku...Toyotama...more power...defeat Shohoku..."
Toyotama's cheerleaders were in high spirits and shouted very hard.
Some of them waved big flags with the word "Toyotama" printed on them, while others shook plastic bottles filled with stones.
Of course, when the Shohoku players walked out of the passage, many spectators who supported Shohoku cheered loudly.
"Shohoku...Shohoku...Shohoku..."
"Jack Carter…Jack Carter…Jack Carter…"
Among them, the three loyal fans wearing miniskirts were particularly eye-catching.
They kicked their white legs high in the air, had infatuated expressions on their faces, and kept shouting in sharp and loud voices.
"Kaede Rukawa... I love you... Kaede Rukawa... I love you... Kaede Rukawa... I love you..."
For a moment, the entire venue seemed to be divided into two camps.
On one side were the cheers for Toyotama, and on the other side were the shouts in support of Shohoku. The voices were distinct yet intertwined, making the entire venue lively yet noisy.
"Look, they're coming out. It's Tsuyoshi Minami from Toyotama, and the people from Shohoku."
"Why haven't I heard of Shohoku before?"
"That No. 9 is Jack Carter, who was uploaded to the report a while ago, and it was really crazy."
"Who's that red-haired one?"
"They're all so tall!"
"I can't wait for the game to start."
The hostile and malicious looks from Toyotama and the others were keenly noticed by the Shohoku people from a distance.
Naturally, the Shohoku people did not show any weakness and responded with fierce looks.
The two sides stared at each other from a distance, and their eyes seemed to turn into two sharp lightning bolts, shooting out at each other, violently intersecting and colliding in mid-air, as if dazzling sparks were bursting, and faint thunderous explosions could be heard.
Soon, both sides withdrew their gazes and turned back to their benches.
At this time, there were still 15 minutes before the start of the game.
After the players from both sides were ready, they walked onto the court and began warming up before the game.
During the warm-up, neither side disturbed the other and acted extremely quiet, without any sign of any previous conflict.
Soon, the warm-up time was over.
Mitsuyoshi Anzai began to announce the lineup for Shohoku. "The first players to appear are Akagi... Mitsui... Miyagi... Kaede Rukawa... and finally Jack Carter..."
Hearing that his name was not on the list, Hanamichi Sakuragi froze in place instantly, staring blankly at Mitsuyoshi Anzai like a sculpture.
Why don't you have your own name?
Hanamichi Sakuragi hurriedly ran to Mitsuyoshi Anzai and asked, "Coach, where is my name? Why am I not a starter?"
Hohohoho…
Mitsuyoshi Anzai smiled and said meaningfully: "Sakuragi, you are our secret weapon."
"Secret weapon?!" Hanamichi Sakuragi, who was expected to be surprised, suddenly shouted, "You are lying, I won't be fooled again, you fooled me like this last time."
As he spoke, he began to touch Mitsuyoshi Anzai, pinching his fat chin and pressing his round belly, while muttering, "Coach, please let me play first! I want to play first."
"How can you be so rude to Coach Anzai? Stop it right now." Hisashi Mitsui saw this and immediately spoke up to stop it.
Hanamichi Sakuragi completely ignored the matter and continued to pester Mitsuyoshi Anzai, as if he would not give up until the other party agreed.
Bang...
A muffled sound.
Takenori Akagi mercilessly punched Hanamichi Sakuragi to the ground and said sternly: "Behave yourself."
At this time, Mitsuyoshi Anzai spoke to comfort him: "Sakuragi, you can play in the second half."
"Ah?" Hanamichi Sakuragi covered his head and said reluctantly, "Second half? But I want to play now."
Kogure quickly came out to smooth things over: "Oh! Sakuragi, it's the same whether you play in the first half or the second half. Just wait for 20 more minutes, it will pass quickly."
Finally, after everyone's persuasion, Hanamichi Sakuragi finally calmed down.
At this time, Kara Smith stood up and said to everyone: "The information of the Toyotamas has been distributed to everyone before, and I have also specially marked the points that need attention.
The only one who needs attention is their captain, Tsuyoshi Minami.
According to my calculations, Tsuyoshi Minami will find Jack from the beginning, so..."
She turned to look at Jack Carter and said with concern: "Jack, be careful and don't get hurt!"
"Humph!" Jack Carter snorted disdainfully, his eyes full of disgust. "He's just a piece of trash who can only play tricks."
He didn't even want to look at such a person.
Soon, players from both sides walked to the center of the court and stood there, quietly waiting for the referee to announce the start of the game.
Shohoku starting lineup:
Center, Takenori Akagi, No. 4, 3rd grade. (Captain)
Power forward, Jack Carter, No. 9, 1st grade.
Small forward, Kaede Rukawa, No. 11, 1st grade.
Shooting guard, Hisashi Mitsui, No. 14, 3rd grade.
Point guard, Ryota Miyagi, No. 7, 2nd grade.
Toyotama starting lineup:
Center, Mitsuaki Iwata, No. 8, 3rd grade.
Power forward, Minoru Kishimoto, No. 5, 3rd year.
Small forward, Tsuyoshi Minami, No. 4, 3rd grade. (Captain)
Shooting guard, Kyohei Yajima, No. 7, 3rd grade.
Point guard, Daijiro Itakura, No. 6, 2nd grade.
The referee walked between the two teams, holding the basketball in one hand and holding the whistle in the other hand, ready to play.
Beep...
A sharp and piercing whistle cut through the air, and the referee threw the basketball in his hand high into the air between the two teams.
In an instant, the players of both teams were ready, their bodies tensed, their eyes fixed on the basketball in the air.
Takenori Akagi and Mitsuaki Iwata bent their knees almost at the same time, pushed off the ground, and jumped up, stretching their arms straight into the air, heading straight for the basketball in the air.
There were no surprises.
Snap...
Takenori Akagi touched the basketball first.
He quickly passed the basketball to Jack Carter on the right.
After receiving the ball, Jack Carter did not launch a fast break immediately as everyone expected, but stood there silently.
He held the ball in both hands, his arms hanging naturally, his body leaning forward slightly, and he looked extremely lazy, as if he had no strength left.
Tsuyoshi Minami reacted quickly, took a big step forward, and stood firmly in front of Jack Carter.
The two looked at each other, and neither of them took the first step. The air around them seemed to freeze at this moment.
The next moment, Jack Carter finally started to move.
He first hit the ball with his right hand.
Bang...
The basketball bounced and moved to the left hand.
He continued to hit the ball with his left hand.
Bang...
The basketball returned to the right hand.
He slapped the basketball with his right hand again.
Bang...
At the moment the basketball hit the ground, Jack Carter turned into a gust of wind and instantly broke through Tsuyoshi Minami's side.
Whoosh…
Tsuyoshi Minami only felt a flash before his eyes, and Jack Carter's figure turned into a residual image and disappeared.
So fast.
Tsuyoshi Minami's double suicide is shocking.
Although he had read reports about Jack Carter and knew that the other party was very fast, it was only when he experienced it personally that he truly realized how terrifying the speed was.
At that moment just now, he didn't even have time to react.
"This guy." Tsuyoshi Minami's face was full of horror and he turned around quickly.
At this time, Jack Carter had already opened up a distance of several body lengths between him and him.
After Tsuyoshi Minami came to his senses, he immediately ran after him.
However, when he started running, he was shocked by the scene before him.
He found that he seemed unable to get closer to Jack Carter at all.
Are you kidding?
Tsuyoshi Minami was filled with horror and shock.
A person without the ball couldn't even catch up with someone who was dribbling.
This is too ridiculous!
The other players of Toyotama were also stunned by this scene, and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
They could see more clearly from the sidelines. At this time, Jack Carter had already dribbled the ball into Toyotama's inside line.
Because the incident happened so suddenly, there was no one under the basket at the moment.
Jack Carter was unceremonious, rushed directly into the restricted area, jumped high, and dunked with one hand.
Clang...
The basketball went into the net.
Shohoku leads Toyotama 2-0.
Shohoku scored first.
The whole audience suddenly fell silent.
Everyone was stunned by the wonderful and shocking scene just now.
After a long while, sporadic exclamations and discussions were heard from the audience.
"That's amazing... Where did that Shohoku come from?"
"It was so fast, I seemed to be in a trance for a moment, and then the ball went in."
"It's too fast. It's less than 5 seconds!"
"Is this Jack Carter? He's so fast!"
"I thought this match was going to be boring! Shohoku seems to be pretty good."
At this time, the time on the electronic scoreboard showed 19:52.
Only 8 seconds have passed since the start of the game.
Including the time Jack Carter stood still at the beginning.
The total time Jack Carter used for breakthrough and attack was only about 4 seconds at most.
Everyone at Toyotama looked incredulous, and all looked towards Jack Carter, their eyes filled with shock and horror.
"What the hell is going on." Minoru Kishimoto stared at Jack Carter with some astonishment in his eyes and said with a slightly trembling voice.
Snap… Snap… Snap…
Tsuyoshi Minami clapped his hands and said to Toyotama's players, "It's okay, we'll give them a goal right away."
Attack and defense transition.
Toyotama immediately launched a counterattack.
Tsuyoshi Minami dribbled the ball across half court quickly. Seeing that Jack Carter had not yet approached, he quickly made a beautiful behind-the-back pass to Daijiro Itakura on the left.
Although Daijiro Itakura looks rough and square, he dribbles the ball very smoothly and freely.
Ryota Miyagi, who was in charge of defending him, was much smaller than him in terms of physique.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Daijiro Itakura's elbow happened to hit Ryota Miyagi's waist when he broke through.
Ryota Miyagi felt a sharp pain in his waist and abdomen, his steps suddenly became unstable, and he staggered two steps.
This time, he completely lost the chance to defend against Daijiro Itakura.
Daijiro Itakura seized the opportunity, dribbled into Shohoku's basket, and jumped high, ready to make a layup.
Ah...
At this moment, Takenori Akagi suddenly appeared, stepped on the ground and jumped, raised his arms high, and successfully blocked Daijiro Itakura's layup.
However, Daijiro Itakura in mid-air did not panic. He turned his wrist flexibly and threw the basketball in a certain direction behind him.
Almost at the same time, Minoru Kishimoto suddenly rushed out from the side, apparently trying to receive the pass from Daijiro Itakura.
Oh no.
At this time, Minoru Kishimoto was in an open position. Everyone in Shohoku thought to themselves that something was wrong and wanted to stop him but it was too late.
But at this critical moment, a big hand came like a black lightning and stole the basketball before Daijiro Itakura threw the ball.
Snap...
A crisp muffled sound was clearly heard by everyone.
Daijiro Itakura, who hadn't landed yet, widened his eyes and his heart suddenly tightened.
He clearly felt that his hands were empty, if nothing unexpected happened, then there must have been an accident.
Minoru Kishimoto's pupils also shrank suddenly.
He saw a figure suddenly appear behind Daijiro Itakura like a ghost. It was Jack Carter.
When Jack Carter appeared in his field of vision, he was already flying high in the air. His movements were smooth and natural, and he stole the basketball in one go.
After stealing the ball, Jack Carter's body just landed on the ground, and without any pause, he started immediately and shot out like a bullet.
Only then did everyone at Toyotama react.
Tsuyoshi Minami quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Jack Carter, his eyes fixed on Jack Carter, his brain working rapidly, thinking of a vicious plan to inflict harm on the other party.
As he was thinking, Jack Carter's figure quickly grew larger in his field of vision.
Just as Tsuyoshi Minami was about to make a move, Jack Carter suddenly changed direction and cleverly tricked Tsuyoshi Minami's center of gravity to the right, and then he smoothly broke through from his left like a nimble loach.
Whoosh…
A strong wind blew across Tsuyoshi Minami's face, and his eyes couldn't help but become dazed.
Have I been breached again?
Bang...
Bang...
Bang...
Jack Carter was like a stream of red light, rushing all the way from the midfield and directly into Toyotama's basket.
He leaped high and dunked with both hands.
Clang...
The basketball goes into the net.
Shohoku leads Toyotama 4-0.
Shohoku scored two points again.
Less than a minute into the game, Shohoku scored two clean goals.
The whole audience fell into silence again.
