Chapter 45
The ball was intercepted, and the audience exclaimed.
"Snap!" The crisp sound of the ball was heard, and the audience exclaimed. Bai Ze attacked quickly like a flash of lightning and successfully intercepted the basketball from Hachimura Rui at the bottom line.
Hachimura Rui was shocked and tried to catch up to take back the ball, but Bai Ze was not afraid. He flashed and used a gorgeous double change of direction technique, followed by a flexible turn, like flowing water, and easily passed Hachimura Rui.
However, how could Watanabe Yuta and Netakeya Nagayoshi let Bai Ze break through easily?
They immediately joined forces to attack, trying to force Bai Ze to stop. Facing such tight defense, Bai Ze did not panic, but showed amazing dribbling skills. He cleverly used the reverse crotch dribble, and then controlled the basketball with a low-hand dribble, making the ball bounce almost close to the ground, thus successfully breaking the opponent's double-team.
At this moment, Shirobuchi Reo also rushed to support, trying to risk stealing on the side where Shirobuchi was dribbling. But Shirobuchi had already seen through the opponent's intentions, and he made a quick decision, suspended the basketball in his hands, suddenly rotated the ball, and then slapped it to the other side.
Then, he faced Shirobuchi Reo and once again performed his signature turn and pass, perfectly interpreting the highest realm of separation between man and ball, and once again deceived Shirobuchi Reo's defense. The whole process was pleasing to the eye and breathtaking!
At this moment, Shirobuchi rushed to the three-point line like a gust of wind, and at this time, only Kawamura Yuki was in the interior.
Faced with such a good opportunity, Bai Ze rushed to the basket alone again without hesitation. He soared into the air like a flash of lightning, and his body quickly rotated 360 degrees in the air, cleverly avoiding Kawamura Yuki's tight defense with amazing speed and skills.
Then, Bai Ze suddenly exerted force, held the basketball tightly with both hands, and slammed the ball into the basket! This shot was like a stone breaking, shocking the whole audience! When his feet landed on the ground, the basket was still making a "squeaking" sound, as if he would be torn off at any time!
The whole stadium fell into a dead silence in an instant, and everyone was dumbfounded, unbelievable what was happening in front of them. However, just a moment later, the audience woke up from a dream, screaming and cheering one after another, resounding through the sky! Breaking through five opponents in a row! Such an incredible dunk! Is this really something that mortals can do?
The audience in the stands were boiling with excitement. They had no time to care whether Bai Ze was a human being. They only admired Bai Ze's shocking performance. They cheered and shouted for Bai Ze!
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
This time, Bai Ze's title of MVP was beyond doubt.
After completing this feat, Bai Ze's legs became weak due to physical exhaustion and he could not stand up. He fell to the ground. Obviously, the attack during this period was also a huge consumption for him. Then the two thick white lightnings in his eyes slowly became slender and finally disappeared.
"Beep!" As the referee blew the final whistle, the third quarter of the game was declared over.
For a full 4 minutes, during these 4 minutes, Liujia Middle School was dominated by Bai Ze alone, who scored more than 20 points. 93:118, this was the answer given by Bai Ze, and Teiko Middle School led by 25 points directly.
Everyone in Rokko Middle School looked at Bai Ze who was sitting on the ground with a blank look. Everyone knew that Bai Ze had just tortured them and was beaten to pieces. Finally, they walked back to the bench with their heads down.
Then Bai Ze was helped to the bench by Nijimura Shuzo. At this time, Bai Ze was really too tired and his whole body was dizzy. The consumption of ZONE was too great. At this time, his body was not fully developed and could not support this consumption at all.
May did not say much. He held a towel in his hand and wiped Bai Ze's sweat with his own hands.
"Bai Ze, you played very well just now. Take a good rest in the fourth quarter." Shirogane Kozo gently patted Bai Ze's shoulder with a smile on his face. Having such a strong player is what every coach dreams of.
"Well, Aze, take a good rest. It's up to us later. We will win!" Akashi promised Bai Ze that they would not let down Bai Ze and Qingfeng's efforts.
After the game entered the fourth quarter, Teiko Junior High School seemed to be injected with a strong energy. The players were like chicken blood, and their state was extremely excited.
With a 25-point lead, the offense became more and more sharp, and the defense became watertight.
Facing such a strong opponent, Rokko Junior High School did not choose to give up easily. The players were closely united and fought back with all their strength. They tried their best for every ball possession and every rebound fight, and never backed down. The atmosphere on the court was tense and fierce, and both sides went back and forth, refusing to give in.
Finally, Reo Mibuchi made an ultra-long three-pointer, "Beep!"
The referee blew the whistle.
As the final whistle sounded, the score was fixed at 110:133. Rokko Junior High School lost regretfully, and Teiko Junior High School successfully won the National Men's Basketball Competition for Junior High Schools!
The audience in the stands stood up one after another, applauding and cheering one after another. This wonderful game not only feasted everyone's eyes, but also showed everyone the infinite possibilities of the future basketball world. At this moment, the joy of victory filled the entire court.
The players of Teiko Junior High School hugged each other tightly, and bright smiles bloomed on every young face. They shouted excitedly in unison: "We are the champions!"
May stood quietly in front of Bai Ze, gazing at the boy immersed in joy with gentle eyes. She was sincerely happy for him, and at the same time, an indescribable sweetness surged in her heart.
Coach Shirogane Kozo stood beside this group of energetic teenagers and thought to himself: "It seems that the previous training method is indeed effective. Next, we can consider increasing the intensity of training appropriately."
For a moment, the players of Teiko suddenly felt a chill, but soon put it behind their minds. After all, it was the moment to celebrate the victory. Who would care about the fleeting strange feeling?
However, they were cheering on the field without realizing that what was waiting for them would be a more arduous and devilish training.
"We lost... we lost after all!" Reo Shibuchi stared blankly at the cheering crowd across from him, his eyes gradually moistened, and tears began to flow uncontrollably in his eyes.
"Reo..." At this time, Hachimura Rui and several other third-year seniors came over, their eyes were also somewhat sad, "The future of Rokko is all in your hands, you must do your best next year!"
Hearing this, Reo Shibuchi's heart was shocked. Yes, the seniors are about to graduate and leave school, and until now, they have not yet realized their dream of winning the championship!
Thinking of this, Reo Shibuchi could no longer suppress the surging emotions in his heart, and tears flowed out of his eyes like a dam bursting. But he quickly turned his head away, fearing that the seniors would see his vulnerable side.
"Next year... I will definitely lead Rokko to win the championship!" Reo Shibuchi clenched his fists tightly and made a vow to himself. He knew that this promise was not only an explanation to his seniors, but also a responsibility to himself and the entire Liujia basketball team.
