"I didn't see it wrong! He actually slipped through the defense of two people."
"Shohoku's No. 9 is so fast! I blinked, and he was at the other half of the field."
"It's incredible that he can break through Sannoh players continuously."
"Is this the newcomer who is rumored to be on par with Eiji Sawakita? He is so strong."
"Maybe Shohoku actually has a chance to defeat Sannoh."
The audience was stunned by the scene where Jack Carter broke through the Sannoh group and successfully scored a slam dunk. They didn't expect that Shohoku would not be inferior to Sannoh at all. Moreover, Jack Carter's performance seemed to be suppressing Eiji Sawakita.
Until this moment, other teams that were originally attracted to watch the game just for the spectacle could not help but look at Shohoku more seriously and pay more attention to them.
On the court, the game hadn't stopped yet. From the very beginning, the pace of the game suddenly became faster. Jack Carter quickened the pace of his attack, catching Sannoh off guard.
However, Eiji Sawakita quickly adjusted his rhythm and increased his speed, which allowed him to barely fight Jack Carter on equal terms. The two once again fell into a faster-paced offensive and defensive battle.
This time, Eiji Sawakita showed the strength that the "strongest high school student" should have. He dribbled the ball, and under the tight defense of Jack Carter, he cleverly broke through the defense and successfully broke into the inside of Shohoku.
As if in response to Jack Carter's previous goal, Eiji Sawakita cleverly avoided Jack Carter under the joint defense of Takenori Akagi and Hisashi Mitsui and accurately shot the ball into Shohoku's basket.
Jack Carter raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a look of joy on his face, and said, "That's right!"
Soon, Jack Carter waved for the ball and started the counterattack. Takenori Akagi hesitated but still passed the ball to Jack Carter.
This time, Jack Carter looked directly at Eiji Sawakita and started moving his hands.
Bang...
Bang...
Bang...
The basketball landed and bounced, getting faster and faster. Jack Carter gradually began to improve his dribbling speed.
Eiji Sawakita stared at Jack Carter's every move with eyes as sharp as torches, not daring to relax at all. After several rounds of competition, he understood that if he wanted to deal with Jack Carter, he must not have any fluke mentality.
Jack Carter was hitting the ball while looking at Eiji Sawakita in front of him. Suddenly, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and the movement of bouncing the ball changed instantly.
Bang...
The continuous sound of basketballs hitting the ground suddenly stopped. At the same time, what made Eiji Sawakita's heartbeat suddenly stop was that his eyes suddenly blurred, and then he saw Jack Carter turn into a residual image and disappear.
Whoosh...
The next moment, a strong wind blew past him. Eiji Sawakita's pupils shrank suddenly, and he was shocked. "Can this guy's speed be increased?"
Without time to think, Eiji Sawakita turned around and chased after Jack Carter with all his strength. This time he went full throttle, with almost no reservations. Soon, the distance between him and Jack Carter gradually narrowed.
Jack Carter felt Eiji Sawakita approaching from behind, and the surprise in his eyes became even stronger. Suddenly, Jack Carter's forward movement changed, he changed hands under his legs, and then turned backward.
Eiji Sawakita never expected Jack Carter to do this. He didn't have time to brake, and because of the inertia of the forward rush, he rushed over the head.
Jack Carter cleverly went from in front of Eiji Sawakita to behind him. After Eiji Sawakita realized what was happening, he hurriedly stopped and turned around to defend. However, at this time, Jack Carter had already jumped high, and his body began to fall backward.
Eiji Sawakita originally wanted to make amends, but after seeing how far Jack Carter leaned back, he finally gave up. He had seen this kind of fadeaway jump shot that was almost parallel to the ground in Shohoku's game videos.
This move is extremely difficult to defend against, and even if you are prepared in advance, it is difficult to successfully block it. At this moment, Eiji Sawakita could only watch Jack Carter throw the basketball in mid-air in an almost lying position.
Whoosh...
The basketball passed over Eiji Sawakita's head, drew a perfect arc in the air, and fell accurately into Sannoh's basket.
Swish...
The basketball went into the net.
Shohoku 8, Sannoh 4.
Eiji Sawakita looked at Jack Carter with an increasingly serious look, the flame of fighting spirit gradually burned in his eyes, and his aura began to rise steadily.
Sannoh regrouped. Eiji Sawakita dribbled the ball and strode across half court, but was quickly blocked by Jack Carter. Looking at Jack Carter in front of him, Eiji Sawakita showed an excited smile and said, "I haven't had so much fun fighting for a long time, so let me see what you can do!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Eiji Sawakita began to move. He swung his arm vigorously, driving his palm, and his palm in turn drove the basketball to hit the ground quickly. After the basketball bounced, he quickly changed hands and then made another powerful arm swing.
Eiji Sawakita kept switching dribbling techniques, trying to disrupt Jack Carter's judgment. However, this was not enough. The next second, Eiji Sawakita suddenly turned his body sideways and made a side breakthrough, intending to go around to the right side of Jack Carter.
But Jack Carter did not take a step forward to stop him like the others did. Instead, he made a move that Eiji Sawakita did not expect. Jack Carter suddenly took a step back, leaving a gap just big enough for Eiji Sawakita to break through.
This sudden change made Eiji Sawakita stunned. But in view of Jack Carter's powerful strength, he did not rashly choose to break through, but withdrew his steps in time, preparing to change direction and try to break through again.
However, his left side was firmly blocked by Jack Carter. If he wanted to break through from the left side, he would have to run one more step, but this would take longer. With Jack Carter's speed, he would definitely be able to react quickly and block it.
Seeing that he could not break through Jack Carter's defense, Eiji Sawakita made a prompt decision and passed the basketball to the side.
Um?
Jack Carter was also stunned when he saw Eiji Sawakita's actions. Looking at his attitude before, I thought he would compete with me.
"It's so boring," Jack Carter said unhappily.
However, Eiji Sawakita seemed to be content with the story. While he was passing the ball, he also had his next move in mind. He dodged and bypassed Jack Carter, rushing towards Shohoku's inside line.
Jack Carter glanced at the place where the basketball flew out. Standing there was the captain of Sannoh, Kazunari Fukatsu.
Jack Carter had already guessed why Eiji Sawakita chose this way. He couldn't defend multiple people by himself. Either he chases Eiji Sawakita now, or he defends Kazunari Fukatsu's shot now.
Jack Carter finally chose to defend Eiji Sawakita. But what happened next was the same as what Jack Carter thought.
Kazunari Fukatsu made a three-pointer right in front of Ryota Miyagi. Ryota Miyagi jumped hard but ultimately couldn't touch the basketball.
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air.
Swish...
The basketball went into the net.
Shohoku 8, Sannoh 7.
Jack Carter was quite dissatisfied with Eiji Sawakita's actions just now, frowned, and said, "Are you going to admit defeat?"
Eiji Sawakita spread his hands helplessly and responded with a relaxed look, "How can I admit defeat? The goal has already been scored. The fact that I was able to score proves that I won."
Jack Carter stared at him, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "You're not going to talk to me about teamwork or something?"
"Why not? Basketball is a team sport!" Eiji Sawakita said as a matter of course.
For a moment, Jack Carter was speechless. He looked at the fighting spirit in Eiji Sawakita's eyes and seemed to understand something.
Snort...
Jack Carter snorted coldly, his emotions gradually calmed down, and he said lightly, "What a naive idea, but forget it, it's just for fun anyway. Then let me see how strong the 'strongest' team in the country is!"
Play?
Eiji Sawakita was stunned and muttered in his heart, "Is this guy serious?"
The Shohoku and Sannoh team members who were nearby heard the conversation between the two. The faces of the Shohoku team members turned dark instantly. They all wanted to refute Jack Carter's words in their hearts, but in the end, they swallowed back the words that were on the tip of their tongues.
The Sannoh team members couldn't stand it. They looked at Jack Carter with displeasure in their eyes. They are Sannoh High, a strong team that dominates the country. How dare the other side speak so arrogantly, saying that playing against Sannoh is just for fun.
Instantly, a nameless anger ignited in the hearts of Sannoh's team members. They secretly swore in their hearts that they would let Jack Carter see what it means to be the "strongest in the country."
