Toyotama is on the bench.
At this moment, the place was filled with gloom and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
Even Minoru Kishimoto, who usually has a bad temper, shut up and stopped talking.
The same was true for the other players, whose eyes were dull, their expressions wooden, their gazes unfocused, and emotions of decadence, despair, and unwillingness intertwined together.
Before the game, they would never have imagined that they would be forced into this state by an unknown team that was only participating in the national competition for the first time.
This was torture from beginning to end.
They attacked, defended, cooperated, and also secretly used a lot of tactics.
But no matter what they did, they couldn't break through Shohoku's defense.
At this moment, the heart representing Toyotama finally collapsed.
27 points!
A difference of nearly 30 points, it is almost impossible to catch up.
I saw a group of silent Toyotama players.
Coach Kanehira stood up and walked in front of them. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "What's wrong with you guys? The you I know are not so fragile. It's just that you are behind by a large margin. As long as you try your best, you won't regret it even if you lose in the end."
Oh...
Minoru Kishimoto snorted and said disdainfully: "It's easy for you to say that. We are 27 points behind now. No matter how hard we try, we can't catch up."
Mitsuaki Iwata also said: "Let us try hard? You think we are embarrassed as a coach because we were shut out!"
After these words were spoken, Coach Kanehira couldn't help but frown.
Kyohei Yajima also spoke up: "Didn't you and the school leaders already have an agreement on how to get into the top eight in the country? I guess you're disappointed by this situation now!"
The more Coach Kanehira listened, the more unnatural his expression became.
It was not because he felt guilty, but because he still underestimated the players' prejudice against him as a coach.
He never imagined that this is how he was viewed by the players.
Why...
Coach Kanehira sighed deeply, his heart filled with bitterness and helplessness, and a wry smile appeared on his face. He said, "You guys don't like me that much!"
His expression returned to calm.
He was not offended by these words.
I just feel a little self-deprecating and emotional.
He laughed at himself for being a little self-righteous before, thinking that as time went by, the players would understand everything he had done.
I also feel that sometimes I can't do what I want just because I am full of enthusiasm.
He is just a school's basketball coach.
For a moment, the entire Toyotama bench fell silent again, and the atmosphere seemed to have dropped to a freezing point.
The pause passed quickly.
Everyone in Toyotama stood up again and prepared to go on stage.
Coach Kanehira then spoke up, "It doesn't matter what you think of me, but if Coach Kitano was still here, he definitely wouldn't want to see you like this."
Hearing this, everyone at Toyotama paused, and no one looked back.
Soon, Tsuyoshi Minami took another step and walked towards the court.
The game starts again.
From the current situation, anyone can see that Shohoku's victory is inevitable.
"I thought Toyotama called a timeout because they were ready to admit defeat!"
"They haven't given up yet!"
"Whoever said Toyotama was strong before, come out and explain yourself."
"Why do I feel like Shohoku didn't even put in any effort? They probably haven't used their full strength yet!"
In the audience, public discussion began to buzz.
For a game that no longer had any suspense, the audience lost the initial interest they had.
However, they still had a little hope in their hearts, wondering if Toyotama would have a chance to turn the tables.
On the court.
Toyotama regrouped and attacked Shohoku again.
Seeing the Toyotama players attacking with undiminished momentum, the Shohoku players were also somewhat surprised.
Takenori Akagi remained alert the entire time. He said with a serious expression: "Don't let your guard down, the game is just about to begin!"
"Oh..." everyone responded in unison.
Toyotama and his group quickly reached Shohoku's half.
However, in this attack, they used fewer secret tricks, but the intensity of the attack was greatly enhanced.
Toyotama players cooperated with each other, and the basketball was constantly passed and replaced, trying to find loopholes in Shohoku's defense.
However, no matter how they attacked, Shohoku was always like an indestructible shield, blocking everything outside the basket.
Tsuyoshi Minami gritted his teeth secretly and looked at Jack Carter with sharp eyes.
It's all this person.
It's all because of this person.
If it weren't for this person, they wouldn't have gotten nothing now.
Jack Carter was like a ghost on the court, always appearing in front of Toyotama and blocking the shot before they could shoot.
It's like a curse that I can't get rid of.
After finally escaping from Jack Carter's defense, they were ruthlessly blocked by other Shohoku players.
This feeling really made him feel disgusted from the bottom of his heart.
It's so annoying.
In addition, Jack Carter is like an indestructible sword that can easily penetrate Toyotama's defense.
At the same time, he can also use offense instead of defense, fight poison with poison, and use attack to resist attack.
Use a stronger attack to completely destroy Toyotama's attack.
In this way, the time of the game passed minute by minute.
Shohoku, led by Jack Carter, broke through Toyotama's basket again and again.
Shohoku's score continued to rise again and again.
Beep...
Finally, a sharp whistle pierced the sky above the entire stadium.
The referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
At this time, the scores of both sides were clearly displayed on the electronic scoreboard in front of everyone.
When everyone saw the score on the electronic scoreboard, they gasped, widened their eyes, and couldn't help swallowing.
Shohoku 76 compared to 0 Toyotama.
This is the first time a shutout has occurred since the national competition was held.
76 points in the first half.
Many people speculate that this might be difficult even for Sannoh.
At this point, some people have started comparing Shohoku and Sannoh.
After all, this score is really shocking.
For a moment, the whole place fell into deathly silence.
Even the organizers were shocked by the score.
There was no doubt that Shohoku would win the first match of the national competition.
Shohoku bench.
Mitsuyoshi Anzai looked at the Shohoku players who were leaving the stage. He just nodded and didn't say anything extra.
He also had no intention of substituting any substitute players.
Indeed, if this were not a national competition, as a high school basketball coach, he should indeed give the opposing coach some face and not let the team lose too badly.
However, this is the national tournament, the first national tournament in the history of Shohoku, and the first battle of the national tournament.
A good result has a huge impact on subsequent competitions.
So he chose to keep silent at this time and wait for the events to develop quietly.
Jack Carter drank the water in big gulps.
His forehead was also covered in sweat at this moment, but the amount of sweat was not large.
Now Jack Carter can be said to have just warmed up.
Toyotama on the opposite side, if we don't count the secret attacks, its strength is just so-so, probably even weaker than Shoyo.
Just three words, too weak.
It was so weak that Jack Carter didn't even use his true ability.
In the audience.
Shinichi Maki looked at the score between Shohoku and Toyotama with a complicated look, then turned around and said, "The game is no longer suspenseful, let's go!"
"Huh? Are we leaving now? Don't we want to see how many points Shohoku will lead Toyotama in the end?" Nobunaga Kiyota said curiously.
Shinichi Maki replied calmly: "We'll know about that sooner or later."
Soichiro Jin smiled and said, "Yeah! Toyotama has lost all its momentum. There's no point in continuing to watch."
There are many teams that share Kainan's idea.
They all had serious expressions and memorized the name Shohoku deeply in their hearts.
Shohoku is definitely a tough opponent.
And the guy wearing No. 9 jersey, Jack Carter.
Before we knew it, the halftime break was over.
The second half of the game started on time.
Shohoku's players remained the same except Ryota Miyagi was replaced by Hanamichi Sakuragi.
Coach Kanehira on the opposing team couldn't help but laugh bitterly inwardly after seeing Shohoku's starting lineup.
He could see that Shohoku was trying to take advantage of the situation!
Why...
It looks like this year's Toyotama will definitely leave a very deep impression.
I'm afraid his career as Toyotama's coach has come to an end.
But it doesn't matter. He doesn't have a very good impression of Toyotama's school leaders anyway. The worst that can happen is that he can just find a school that suits him and continue to be a coach.
The second half of the game was still dominated by Shohoku.
To be precise, it was dominated by Jack Carter.
As soon as the game started, Toyotama launched a fierce attack.
This attack was more fierce than any in the first half, but it still ended in failure.
Originally they had a chance to score a goal this time, but in the end Jack Carter cut off their last pass.
In addition, after Hanamichi Sakuragi came on the court, Shohoku's defense became stronger.
This also weakened Toyotama's offensive power in disguise.
But this guy always seems to like to show off and be in the spotlight, so he stole a lot of ball possession.
Jack Carter didn't care about it either.
In this kind of game that is not fun at all, why not give the ball to others?
As a result, the second half became a situation where Shohoku blossomed from multiple points, and almost all of Shohoku's players were able to score goals.
In the end, without any surprise, Toyotama was shot into a sieve.
Until the end of the game, Toyotama was inevitably shut out.
In the end, the score between the two sides was permanently fixed at 143 to 0.
Shohoku won a great victory and successfully advanced.
After the game, everyone in Shohoku was naturally overjoyed.
Everyone from Toyotama left the scene dejectedly.
Of course, the news that Shohoku shut out Toyotama with a score of 143-0 in the first game was like an 18-force storm that swept across the entire high school basketball world.
