Chapter 41
The game was over, but the opponent was still alive.
After Watanabe Yuta made the second free throw, the score came to 55:43
Akagi controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt. At this time, Aomine's momentum became stronger, but Bai Ze was not as surging as before, as if the whole person was sluggish.
The people of Teiko also knew Aomine's calculations, and directly handed the basketball to Aomine. Then everyone opened up space to make room for Aomine to attack.
Genbuya Yongji stared at Aomine with wide eyes, and couldn't help but sweat for himself.
Passing the ball, breaking through, and flowing movements appeared on Qingfeng's body. With his cheetah-like speed, Qingfeng appeared behind Netaketani Yongji in just a blink of an eye.
How could it be so fast!
Netaketani Yongji looked at the place where Qingfeng disappeared in disbelief. He didn't react at all.
A moment later, Qingfeng had already appeared in the paint area. Hachimura Rui, who was standing in the restricted area to defend, suddenly appeared in front of him, but Qingfeng just glanced around and found that no one could keep up. He decided to challenge Hachimura Rui's inside defense alone.
Hachimura Rui saw that Qingfeng was not going to pass the ball, so he took a big step without hesitation. His height of 188cm was extremely oppressive, which made people feel fearful.
Qingfeng seemed extra calm in the face of Hachimura Rui's defense. He first rushed to the right with the ball, and the center of gravity of his whole body tilted to the right.
Hachimura, who had the advantage of being tall, did not defend Aomine too much. He just stood aside and observed Aomine's dribbling movements, with his legs slightly bent, always alert, ready to jump up and block Aomine.
Aomine didn't care about anything. He lowered his body on the right and suddenly blew the ball, using his left foot as the 0th step, and then stepped out with his right foot to use the European step to reach Hachimura's right.
At this time, Hachimura no longer hesitated when he saw Aomine breaking through from the left. He pressed the center of gravity of his whole body to the left, and then jumped up with all his strength, staring straight at the basketball in Aomine's hand.
But Aomine did not play by the rules at all. For Hachimura's high-altitude jump, he just used his right foot as the center foot, turned his whole body to the right, and used his left foot as the second step, making a perfect 012 step.
Hachimura Rui, who was still rising in the air, suddenly missed. Now Aomine was a million miles away from him!
In the end, Aomine just made an easy hook and put the basketball into the basket.
"What a pervert!" Hachimura Rui, who fell from the air to the floor, was deeply shocked. He really didn't expect that Aomine Daiki of Teiko Junior High School also had such strength. It seems that they paid too much attention to Kamikawa Shirasawa and Midorima Shintaro before, but didn't realize that there was a powerful attacker!
The score became 55:45
The players of Rokko Junior High School didn't think much about it. It was just a ball, and it didn't have much impact.
Kawamura Yuki took the serve from his teammate. At this time, he carried the basketball to the top of the three-point arc. Now Midorima Shintaro was hit down by Mibuchi Reo, so they didn't need to fight Mibuchi Reo alone all the time, so as not to consume too much physical strength and cause exhaustion in the second half.
Kawamura Yuki patiently sorted out the team's offense. Everyone kept running and passing the ball.
Then the basketball was smoothly passed to Hachimura Rui, who was only defending Murasakibara Atsushi in the paint.
Hachimura Rui took the basketball and used his back to push Murasakibara behind him, then dribbled the ball hard. With the advantage of age, Hachimura Rui was slightly stronger than Murasakibara, and successfully pushed Murasakibara away by a small distance, and then connected with an ordinary turn to get a good shot opportunity.
At the same time, Hachimura Rui, who had gained the shooting space, was ready to use his long arms to hook the basketball in, but he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
"Snap!" The basketball was intercepted by a big hand that appeared inexplicably!
Hachimura Rui looked down and his face was heavy. Oh no, it was Aomine!
Aomine slipped in from the baseline and quickly intercepted the basketball. At that time, Netakeya Nagaki looked at Aomine at the baseline in a daze. He didn't notice when Aomine disappeared!
Qingfeng increased his speed to the maximum, took a big step forward, and made a fast break with the ball!
The first to react were Kawamura Yuki and Bai Ze who were standing outside the three-point line. They both lowered their heads and ran forward at the same time. One wanted to block the fast break, and the other wanted to use the advantage of more people to increase the chance of scoring.
Looking at Kawamura Yuki and Bai Ze running in front of him, Qingfeng had a clear picture in his mind.
Offensive ideas, he and Bai Ze looked at each other, immediately understood Bai Ze's idea, and then passed the basketball accurately to Bai Ze.
Bai Ze who received the ball also further accelerated his speed, and Kawamura Yonghui witnessed this scene and kept approaching Bai Ze at high speed.
Finally, after a short run, the three of them entered the paint area one after another. Bai Ze directly attacked the basket with the ball, and Kawamura Yonghui also turned around to try to block.
But Bai Ze did not choose to attack, but threw the basketball directly into the air.
"It's over, I'm going to be a background board!" Obviously Kawamura Yonghui also realized something, but his body was too late to react.
Qingfeng jumped high at this time, caught the basketball in the air across Kawamura Yonghui, and slammed the basketball into the basket fiercely.
With a bang, not only the basket was squeaked by Qingfeng, but also the sound of Kawamura Yonghui being dunked to the ground.
The audience's jaws almost dropped, their eyes widened like bells, and their faces were full of unbelievable expressions! Qingfeng did this attack and defense to the extreme!
Such a perfect performance made people marvel and applaud, and the atmosphere was extremely warm!
55:47, the score difference was reduced to single digits by Qingfeng.
The late Reo Mibuchi pulled Kawamura Yuki up from the ground, and Kawamura Yuki couldn't help complaining: "They are so slow, I can't stop these monsters at all!"
Reo Mibuchi scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly. They really didn't have time to rush over, resulting in a two-on-one situation for Kawamura Yuki.
In the next half of the game, the basketball was in Qingfeng's hands. In every attack, Qingfeng seemed to be integrated with the basketball, doing agile and smooth movements over and over again, cleverly using the strength and speed of his body to complete one gorgeous dribble, breakthrough and layup after another.
"Huff, huff, huff..."
Aomine panted heavily, his back soaked with sweat, and the team logo on his chest rose and fell with his rapid breathing.
"My heartbeat... is so fast... I feel... I am almost dying!" Aomine's eyes were already a little blurry, he had already tried his best.
"Aomine, take a break!" Bai Ze quickly signaled the coach to call a timeout.
Shirogane Kozo did not hesitate and immediately told the referee to call a timeout.
"I... I tried my best!" Aomine lay on the bench, he felt his legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead, this was the consequence of over-activating the wildness.
However, with Aomine's efforts, the score was successfully recovered, 65:59! The difference was only 6 points!
"Take a good rest, there are only 2 minutes left in the second quarter, I will equalize the score during the halftime break!" Bai Ze's expression was flat, but his eyes revealed his desire for victory.
