"The situation isn't good!" Ayako stared at the development on the field, a worried look on her face, and couldn't help but say.
Kiminobu Kogure also looked nervous and suggested, "Should we call a timeout first? Sannoh is obviously targeting Jack Carter. After luring him away, another player is responsible for scoring. It's really abominable."
Ryota Miyagi was also a little anxious. His eyes fell on Jack Carter on the field, and he said doubtfully, "That guy won't just give up like that!"
"Everyone, don't worry," Kanon Shimizu said soothingly. "Such a strategy will not work on Ace. Besides, it's almost time to start."
Start what?
Ayako and the others looked confused and had no idea what Kanon Shimizu meant.
At this time, it was Shohoku's turn to attack, and the basketball fell into Jack Carter's hands as expected.
As soon as he got the ball, Eiji Sawakita and Minoru Matsumoto immediately came up and double-teamed him. Facing the two players' eager eyes, Jack Carter's expression did not show the slightest worry; instead, it revealed a hint of excitement and a smile.
Bang...
Bang...
Bang...
The sound of the basketball hitting the ground could be heard clearly. Everyone's eyes were focused on these three players. For a moment, the atmosphere on the court became extremely tense, as if something big would happen in the next second.
In the next moment.
Bang...
Another sound of a basketball hitting the ground was heard. Jack Carter moved. He first dribbled the ball quickly, and the basketball cleverly switched from his right hand to his left hand. Then, he suddenly leaned his body to the right, as if he was going to break through.
Eiji Sawakita reacted very quickly, took a step forward, and spread his arms like a wall, blocking Jack Carter's way. But Jack Carter had no intention of breaking through from the right side. He just changed hands behind his back, and the basketball went from his left hand to his right hand.
At the same time, his whole body was like a twist, drawing a beautiful big C from right to left, then turned around and instantly changed the breakthrough direction from right to left.
Minoru Matsumoto saw that the situation was not good, his pupils contracted instantly, and he bounced up like a spring. He moved hastily, blocking the right side with all his strength, fearing that Jack Carter would break through from here. Because of his movement, a gap was created between him and Eiji Sawakita.
Jack Carter's breakthrough to the left came to an abrupt halt, followed by a crotch-changing hand shift, with the basketball falling steadily from his right hand into his left hand. Then he swung his left hand violently, and the basketball flew like a cannonball, hitting the ground between Eiji Sawakita and Minoru Matsumoto.
This series of actions was as fast as lightning and completed in one go. It was so dazzling that people didn't even have time to blink.
Eiji Sawakita and Minoru Matsumoto's brains couldn't keep up with the pace at all. Their bodies froze instantly, and they stood there in a daze.
At this moment, Jack Carter, who no longer had the ball in his hands, was like an ignited rocket. His speed instantly soared from 0 to Max. Almost in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the sight of Eiji Sawakita and Minoru Matsumoto.
In just a moment, Jack Carter had already circled behind Minoru Matsumoto like a ghost, reached out, and steadily caught the basketball that had bounced back from the ground.
Super high-speed dribbling appeared again.
Jack Carter successfully shook off the combined defense of Eiji Sawakita and Minoru Matsumoto and headed towards Sannoh's basket.
Bang...
Bang...
Bang...
The sound of the basketball hitting the ground gradually faded away, leaving only Eiji Sawakita and Minoru Matsumoto standing there, with astonishment on their faces.
"What a joke, what was that dribbling just now?" Minoru Matsumoto widened his eyes, his face full of shock and disbelief. Eiji Sawakita's expression was similar.
They had carefully studied Shohoku's game videos before the game and knew that Jack Carter had used super-high-speed dribbling. But watching a video and experiencing it in person are two completely different things.
When watching the video, they could analyze it frame by frame and grasp Jack Carter's intentions and movements. But at this moment, their eyes could not catch Jack Carter's movements at all, and their bodies had no time to react.
They realized that they still underestimated Jack Carter.
Eiji Sawakita felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to his forehead, and a fine layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead. He thought to himself, "This is really bad."
Oh...
Wow...
Hiss...
When the audience outside the venue saw this scene, they all exclaimed in amazement at the same time. Some of them had seen super-high-speed dribbling before, and when they saw Jack Carter use this move again, their whole bodies couldn't help but tremble, their blood boiled, and they were extremely excited.
Most of the spectators and players from other schools were seeing Jack Carter's super-fast dribbling for the first time. They were all stunned, their eyes almost popped out, and their faces were filled with shock and astonishment.
What kind of dribbling is this?
They had never seen anything like it before.
Jack Carter took the basketball, turned into a stream of red light, and broke directly into Sannoh's inside line. Masahiro Nobe was startled by the sudden approaching figure and rushed out from the side, trying to stop Jack Carter.
However, Jack Carter simply hit the ground from behind and changed hands, then jumped to the left, just missing Masahiro Nobe's position. But the next moment, after Masahiro Nobe's position was changed, Masashi Kawata appeared in front of him.
Seeing this, Jack Carter, who was originally preparing to shoot directly, immediately adjusted his movements. He made an extreme pull-up shot with his left hand behind him, spotted the gap in Masashi Kawata's defense, and threw the ball away with a flick of his hand.
Formless Shot, launch.
Whoosh…
The basketball flashed past Masashi Kawata's armpit, hit the backboard behind him, and bounced into the basket.
Swish...
The crisp sound of the net being rubbed was heard. The basketball went into the net.
Shohoku 43, Sannoh 42.
The whole place suddenly fell into dead silence.
Goro Domoto had already stood up from his seat. He looked at the figure wearing Shohoku No. 9 jersey on the field with a look of shock. Jack Carter's performance was completely beyond his expectations.
The combination of super-fast dribbling and the Formless Shot is more impactful when seen live than when learned about from videotape. Only at this moment did he clearly realize how formidable an opponent Jack Carter was.
He had already greatly overestimated Jack Carter's talent and strength. But he didn't expect that he still underestimated the other party.
The other members of Sannoh's team also widened their eyes, their faces filled with horror and shock.
Boom...
A cheer and shout that almost broke through the sky resounded throughout the entire stadium.
"Oh my god! What was that? What the hell was that dribbling?"
"I've never seen this before. It's amazing. It's really amazing."
"His dribbling is so cool, and his shooting is so cool too. I want to have a baby with him."
"It's incredible that Eiji Sawakita and Minoru Matsumoto didn't react."
"Shohoku...Shohoku...Shohoku..."
"Jack Carter…Jack Carter…Jack Carter…"
Jack Carter's wonderful performance completely conquered the audience. The audience and other teams that originally supported Sannoh, at this point, switched sides and started supporting Shohoku.
On the court, the competition was still going on fiercely. Hearing the voices of support for Shohoku coming from the audience, Sannoh's players felt a shadow in their hearts. Jack Carter's strength brought them tremendous pressure.
Kazunari Fukatsu stared at Jack Carter, his eyes full of solemnity. "His movements are unpredictable; can't Sawakita and Matsumoto restrict him?"
Sannoh began to counterattack. Eiji Sawakita and Minoru Matsumoto worked well together and advanced to the Shohoku three-point line in a few breaths. This time, Jack Carter did not defend either Eiji Sawakita or Minoru Matsumoto, but took a step back and included both of them in his field of vision.
Eiji Sawakita was waiting for Jack Carter's next move and was stunned when he saw this. For a moment, he couldn't make up his mind whether to attack or pass the ball. Considering that his shooting accuracy from beyond the three-point line is not as good as Minoru Matsumoto, Eiji Sawakita thought passing the ball to Minoru Matsumoto was the best option.
Thinking of this, Eiji Sawakita decisively threw the ball to Minoru Matsumoto. When Jack Carter saw this scene, a fierce and bloodthirsty aura suddenly emanated from his body, and his pair of green eyes shot towards the basketball passed by Eiji Sawakita like a sharp blade.
Kazunari Fukatsu was stunned. "This is..."
Masashi Kawata also opened his eyes wide, looking at Jack Carter in shock. "Same as Sawakita..."
Masahiro Nobe was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. "Could it be..."
Minoru Matsumoto blurted out, "It's wildness. He actually has it too..."
In an instant, both the Shohoku and Sannoh players seemed to be under a spell. Their bodies froze, their hearts tightened, and their scalps went numb. Eiji Sawakita and Minoru Matsumoto, in particular, felt like they were being stared at by ferocious beasts. The sense of crisis that their lives were at stake made their hearts almost skip a beat.
Whoosh…
Jack Carter rushed out like a red lightning, aiming at the basketball passed by Eiji Sawakita. Under the incredulous gazes of Eiji Sawakita and Minoru Matsumoto, Jack Carter's figure was like a ghost, and he flashed between the two of them in almost the blink of an eye. Not only that, even the basketball flying in the air disappeared.
So fast.
Eiji Sawakita and Minoru Matsumoto were so shocked that they could hardly believe their eyes.
What did they just see?
The opponent actually intercepted the ball halfway. The distance was obviously so far, how did he do it?
And the feeling just now.
Eiji Sawakita turned his head somewhat stiffly. At this time, there was no one in front of Jack Carter, and he reached the basket in the blink of an eye.
Then he jumped high, glided in the air with the basketball in his hand, and dunked it towards Sannoh's basket.
Clang...
The basketball went into the net.
Jack Carter scored another goal.
Sannoh High 42, Shohoku 45.
