Chapter 71 - Chapter 41: Shinichi Maki's Strangeness

Tread...

Tread...

Jack Carter and Shinichi Maki landed one after another.

Jack Carter was unstable when he landed and staggered back two steps.

Shinichi Maki took advantage of this gap and passed the ball quickly.

The basketball drew an arc in the air and fell steadily into Soichiro Jin's hands.

As soon as Soichiro Jin received the ball, he immediately rushed towards Shohoku's basket with the ball like an arrow from a bow.

Seeing this, Hisashi Mitsui quickly moved forward and tried to force the opponent to stop.

However, Soichiro Jin seemed to have anticipated this. The moment he stopped, he flicked his wrist and passed the ball.

Snap...

The basketball flew accurately into the hands of Nobunaga Kiyota, who was in an open position with no one guarding him.

Without hesitation, he rushed into Shohoku's paint, then jumped high, intending to make a powerful slam dunk.

Takenori Akagi rushed out from under the basket like a tiger emerging from the mountains and also jumped high, ready to block the somewhat reckless Nobunaga Kiyota in front of him.

When Nobunaga Kiyota saw Takenori Akagi standing like an iron tower in front of him, he panicked. His originally fierce momentum weakened instantly, and the hand that was about to dunk became soft and powerless.

"Damn it! This big guy is in the way." Helplessly, Nobunaga Kiyota quickly retracted his dunking action and threw the basketball hard behind him.

Takenori Akagi's pupils suddenly shrank, and his peripheral vision instantly caught sight of Kazuma Takasago behind Nobunaga Kiyota.

Not good.

Takenori Akagi thought to himself that something was wrong.

As expected, Kazuma Takasago successfully received the pass from Nobunaga Kiyota.

Without any hesitation, he jumped up on the spot, raised the ball with both hands, aimed at the basket, and shot decisively.

Whoosh…

The basketball flew towards Shohoku's basket like a cannonball.

But at this moment, Kaede Rukawa suddenly appeared from the flank like a ghost in the dark night.

His outstretched palm brushed against the basketball, instantly changing its flight trajectory.

When Kazuma Takasago saw this scene, his eyes widened like bells and his face was full of horror.

He had no idea Kaede Rukawa had appeared from nowhere.

At this time, the direction of the basketball flying was towards the bottom of the backboard and was about to go out of bounds.

Just when everyone thought the basketball was bound to go out of bounds, a figure rushed out like lightning.

The man jumped high, and when the basketball was about to go out of bounds, he grabbed the ball back, then turned around and slammed it into Shohoku's basket.

When the Shohoku people saw this person, their pupils shrank instantly, and their hearts tightened.

The person who came was none other than Shinichi Maki.

Not good.

This thought flashed through the minds of Hisashi Mitsui, Ryota Miyagi, Takenori Akagi, and Kaede Rukawa at the same time, and they all felt that they might not be able to defend this ball.

The next second.

Snap...

As everyone looked on in astonishment, the basketball that was about to be dunked into the basket by Shinichi Maki was slapped hard by a hand and flew away.

Everyone looked intently at the person who blocked Shinichi Maki. That person was wearing a red jersey with a big number 9 printed on the back. It was Jack Carter.

Jack Carter had come behind Shinichi Maki at some point, jumped high, and slapped the basketball in the other's hand, sending it flying.

The basketball was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, hitting the backboard hard and then bouncing back.

Shinichi Maki turned his head and glanced at Jack Carter behind him. In his eyes, apart from disbelief, there was a burning desire to fight.

He really didn't expect that the ball he was determined to score would be blocked by Jack Carter.

But if you think about it carefully, with Jack Carter's amazing speed, it is not impossible to catch up.

Ryota Miyagi seized the opportunity and quickly broke into Shohoku's inside line. When he saw the basketball bouncing back, he immediately reached out to catch it.

Nobunaga Kiyota also resumed his action, rushing to grab a favorable position, his target also being the flying basketball.

Tread...

Tread...

Jack Carter and Shinichi Maki landed steadily, and as if they had telepathy, at the same moment their feet touched the ground, they turned around without hesitation and shot out again like arrows.

They turned into two lightning bolts, one red and one white, with fierce momentum, and flashed past Ryota Miyagi and Nobunaga Kiyota almost closely.

Ryota Miyagi and Nobunaga Kiyota only felt two strong winds blowing towards them, and before they could react, the basketball that was originally so close in front of them had disappeared.

"So fast." The two men's pupils contracted sharply, their hearts suddenly tightened, and their brains went blank for a moment, and they were completely unable to keep up with this sudden change.

When they turned their heads stiffly to look, Jack Carter and Shinichi Maki had already crossed the half-court and stepped into Kainan's half.

Nobunaga Kiyota swallowed, his voice shaking unconsciously. "What a pair of monsters."

Ryota Miyagi's eyes were filled with shock and confusion, and he muttered to himself: "These two guys..."

Jack Carter was like a nimble cheetah, sprinting with the ball at full speed, his steps as swift as a whirlwind, the wind whistling in his ears, and the swift momentum seemed to be able to smash all obstacles in front of him.

Shinichi Maki was like a tiger coming down the mountain, biting Jack Carter closely from behind, and every step he took was firm, powerful, and vigorous.

I saw the two of them moving around on the court, their figures as elusive as ghosts.

Jack Carter rushed left and right, and the basketball in his hands seemed to be given life. Sometimes it rolled rapidly along the ground, making rapid "bang bang" sounds, and sometimes it bounced high, drawing arcs in the air.

Shinichi Maki followed closely, using his amazing speed and agility to predict Jack Carter's movements again and again with his keen intuition, and stretched out his long arms like lightning, trying to steal the ball.

The two people's movements are strange and varied, making it hard to keep up.

Then it turned sharply to the left, causing the surrounding air to stagnate.

After a while, it swooped to the right, raising a cloud of dust.

Everyone was dazzled by the sight, their heads turning uncontrollably following their figures, not daring to blink for fear of missing any wonderful moment.

Shohoku and Kainan's players were already stunned, their mouths opened so wide that it seemed like an egg could be stuffed in, and disbelief was written all over their faces.

They have been playing basketball for many years, but have never seen such fierce and almost crazy offensive and defensive confrontations.

The scene was like two desperate beasts fighting to the death, and the ferocious aura they exuded was terrifying.

At this moment, the players of both teams retreated in tacit understanding and formed a big circle on the periphery. No one dared to approach this "battlefield" filled with danger.

Everyone just stared with their eyes wide open, like a group of fanatical audiences deeply attracted by this wonderful performance, their eyes full of shock and obsession.

In the audience seats, the atmosphere had already been ignited to a boiling point.

Everyone seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, leaning forward, their eyes wide as big as copper bells, staring at the two fast-moving figures on the court.

Their cheeks flushed with excitement, their nostrils flared rapidly, and every subtle expression told of their inner shock and excitement.

The entire auditorium was like a surging ocean. The hot blood in the audience seemed to burst out of their chests, boiling and tumbling, reaching a new climax with every confrontation between Jack Carter and Shinichi Maki.

They watched so many basketball games, this one...

Oh no.

This scene is definitely the most exhilarating one to watch, no doubt about it.

The audience seemed to have forgotten to cheer, and instead, they were suppressing their excitement, for fear of disturbing the wonderful duel below.

Journalists' Zone.

Yayoi Aida was so excited at this moment that she seemed to be about to soar into the sky, her face flushed red like a ripe tomato.

The shutter button of the camera in her hand was pressed so hard that it almost smoked.

"It's so exciting, so passionate, and so intense," she shouted in her heart. As a senior reporter of Basketball Weekly, she had reported countless games, but none of them could make her lose her composure like this.

"I believe that no matter who wins or loses this game, this wonderful duel will definitely be recorded in history." Yayoi Aida's voice was shaking with excitement.

On the court, two figures, one red and one white, were like two fighting dragons, continuing to collide fiercely.

Jack Carter performed super-high-speed dribbling, and the basketball in his hands seemed to be cast by magic, constantly changing its trajectory.

Changing hands under the crotch, changing hands behind the back, turning and changing direction, stepping back on one foot, changing direction and then changing hands...all kinds of fancy and exaggerated movements come to him at will, and he performs them vividly, making people fascinated.

Shinichi Maki had a hard time defending, but he still gritted his teeth and forced himself to keep up with Jack Carter's changing rhythm. This scene left the audience stunned.

Finally, Jack Carter suddenly stopped, followed by a super fadeaway jump shot, and shot the basketball high in front of Shinichi Maki.

Shinichi Maki reacted quickly, but because Jack Carter leaned back too far, he had no way to defend himself. He could only stretch his arms as far as he could to try to block Jack Carter's sight.

However, the basketball seemed to have a mind of its own, passing directly over Shinichi Maki's fingertips and falling hollow into the basket behind him.

Swish...

The Nets scored.

Boom...

In an instant, the entire stadium exploded like a giant ignited bomb.

Cheers, shouts, and screams intertwined into a deafening sound, breaking out almost at the same time.

Everyone was going crazy over the amazing offensive and defensive battle that had just happened. The roar was so overwhelming that it seemed to be about to overturn the roof of the stadium.

The members of the basketball teams of other colleges and universities who came to watch the game were already stunned and dumbfounded.

They looked at everything happening off the field, as if they were in a fantasy dream and could hardly believe the reality before their eyes.

At this moment, they were deeply aware of the huge gap between their team and the truly strong teams. This gap is not just a little bit; it is simply a world of difference.

Time passes by every second.

There was only a little over a minute left in the first half.

It was Kainan's turn to attack.

"Captain Maki..." Nobunaga Kiyota was about to say something to Shinichi Maki, but suddenly stopped talking, completely stunned by Shinichi Maki at this moment.

At this moment, Shinichi Maki gave him a strong sense of oppression as if he was facing a ferocious beast, as if the person standing in front of him was not a human, but a bloodthirsty beast ready to devour everything at any time.

Not only Nobunaga Kiyota, but other players of Kainan also noticed something strange about Shinichi Maki.

They all turned their gazes to Shinichi Maki, their eyes filled with shock and confusion.

What happened to our captain?

What's this chilling feeling of oppression?

Um?

Jack Carter also keenly noticed the difference and immediately looked up at Shinichi Maki in front of him.

His pupils shrank instantly, and he was secretly shocked. "What is this..."

Shohoku bench.

Kara Smith and Coach Anzai stood up from their seats almost at the same time, obviously, they saw something was going on.

Coach Anzai's face changed slightly, showing a bit of surprise, and he muttered to himself: "It turned out to be 'wild'."

Although Kara Smith did not show any shock, she could not help but exclaim softly, "He does have some 'wildness'."
