Quiet...
The entire venue was unusually quiet, as if time had stopped at this moment.
This scene can be said to have completely shocked everyone.
They never imagined that basketball could be played this way.
Boom...
After a brief silence, deafening screams and cheers broke out in the venue, and the sound waves seemed to break through the sky.
This extremely impactful scene can be said to have completely ignited the passion of the audience.
All the spectators were extremely excited, shouting at the top of their lungs, waving their arms, and releasing their emotions freely.
"Ah... That's amazing. That's amazing."
"I didn't expect basketball could be played this way. It really broadened my horizons."
"This slam dunk is really cool."
"Is this a self-thrown dunk? How did he do it?"
"It's crazy that he actually caught up with the ball from his own baseline."
Everyone in Toyotama was dumbfounded at this moment, their eyes filled with horror and helplessness.
The way they looked at Jack Carter had changed dramatically.
From the disdain before the game started, they didn't take it seriously.
As the game progressed, they grew serious and vigilant, realizing they should not ignore him.
Until now, they are shocked, numb, and terrified.
It can be said that before the first half was over, Jack Carter had already become a nightmare for everyone at Toyotama.
If the Toyotama players were not so strong-willed, they would have collapsed completely long ago.
25 to 0.
Such a huge score difference is enough to make any team feel desperate.
Everyone in Kainan witnessed this scene and fell into silence.
Although they knew in their hearts that Shohoku should win the game, they didn't expect that the Shohoku team could suppress Toyotama to such an extent from the very beginning of the game.
This was beyond their imagination.
"This is too exaggerated! That guy is really reckless. But he actually shut out Toyotama, it's really scary," Nobunaga Kiyota watched the game off the court in disbelief, his body trembling slightly, and said in amazement.
Soichiro Jin looked serious, nodded, and said, "Yes! Shohoku is stronger than in the modern game."
Shinichi Maki looked at the Shohoku team members on the court with a serious look, and said slowly, "The fact that Shohoku can beat us already means that they have the strength to be among the top four in the country, but the most crucial thing is the match with Sannoh."
Hearing this, everyone in Kainan changed their expressions.
They all knew that the Sannoh that Shinichi Maki was referring to was Sannoh High.
This is a team that is recognized as the strongest team in the country, without a doubt, and its strength is beyond doubt.
Especially Eiji Sawakita, who is known as the "strongest high school student in the country," is far superior to other school players in terms of personal strength.
Shinichi Maki cast his gaze towards Jack Carter, thinking to himself, "Perhaps... the title of the strongest in the country is likely to change hands. I am really looking forward to their match."
He thought so, but the game on the sidelines continued.
At this time, the court could be said to be half clear and half cloudy.
The clear sky side is naturally Shohoku.
The dark cloud is naturally Toyotama.
Everyone at Toyotama was already sweating profusely and breathing heavily.
At this moment, they felt exhausted both physically and mentally. Everyone's spirit was tense to the extreme, as if it was a string that could break at any time.
At this moment, there are about 12 minutes left before the end of the first half.
Jack Carter once again took the initiative to approach Tsuyoshi Minami, and with extremely fast speed and superb skills, he easily snatched the basketball from Tsuyoshi Minami.
Toyotama's players reacted quickly, two returned to defense, and two assisted Tsuyoshi Minami to double-team Jack Carter.
After such a long period of competition, they gradually figured out the characteristics of Shohoku team's playing style.
That is, Jack Carter never passed the ball, and after getting the ball, he just fought alone.
This kind of opponent is the easiest to deal with.
Of course, if one's strength reaches that of Jack Carter, the situation will be completely different.
In any case, given the current situation, the double-team tactic is the safest and has the highest probability of success.
Tsuyoshi Minami was chasing closely behind, while Minoru Kishimoto and Kyohei Yajima were quickly flanking from the left and right sides in front.
"You're dead this time," Minoru Kishimoto roared in a low voice, his eyes full of ferocity and determination.
Jack Carter raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, his eyes calm, without the slightest fluctuation, as if the double-team in front of him was not worth mentioning to him.
When the three players were about to double-team him, Jack Carter's normal dribbling action suddenly changed.
He slammed the basketball hard to the ground, and the basketball hit the feet of Tsuyoshi Minami who was running behind him, and then bounced back up.
The unsuspecting Tsuyoshi Minami was stunned by Jack Carter's sudden action and his pace slowed down unconsciously.
At this moment, Jack Carter quickly made a large turn from left to back, and cleverly got out of the double-team gap that was about to be formed, which was the gap between Tsuyoshi Minami and Kyohei Yajima.
It all happened so suddenly that the three people responsible for double-teaming were unable to react in time.
By the time they came to their senses, Jack Carter had already circled behind Tsuyoshi Minami and regained control of the basketball that had bounced back from the ground.
At the same time, he also moved to the right side of Tsuyoshi Minami.
Because this series of actions happened too quickly, and because he was previously attracted by Jack Carter's actions, Tsuyoshi Minami's attention was unconsciously focused on the left, while Kyohei Yajima focused on the right.
At this time, Jack Carter had come to Tsuyoshi Minami's right side and was blocked by Tsuyoshi Minami's body, so neither of them noticed Jack Carter's figure.
But Minoru Kishimoto is different.
He was originally on the right side, so when Jack Carter appeared from behind Tsuyoshi Minami, he was surprised but still reacted faster than the other two.
Although he didn't know what was going on, nor did he understand why Jack Carter appeared from that position, his body's instinct made him react quickly.
Minoru Kishimoto took a step forward with his arms outstretched, trying to block Jack Carter's path with his own body and Tsuyoshi Minami's body.
However, Minoru Kishimoto's move instantly created a crack in the seemingly tight triangle.
Jack Carter did not hesitate and quickly changed hands, switching the basketball from his right hand to his left hand.
Then, he turned his right body to the left, and like an agile cheetah, he found a gap and slipped back into the middle area of the double team formed by the three people.
Minoru Kishimoto's eyes widened, almost popping out of their sockets, his face filled with shock and disbelief.
He never expected that Jack Carter would choose to break through between him and Tsuyoshi Minami.
Even if he took a step and created a small gap in the encirclement, he knew that this gap would not be so easy to pass through.
But he overlooked one point: it is totally impractical to consider Jack Carter with conventional thinking.
Jack Carter possesses extraordinary speed, so before the gap closes again, he can use this amazing speed to easily and calmly pass through the gap.
As expected, Jack Carter successfully got into the encirclement of the three people.
Then, he performed a crotch-switch from behind and switched the basketball from his left hand to his right hand.
The commotion here attracted Tsuyoshi Minami and Kyohei Yajima.
The two of them turned their heads.
However, Jack Carter did not stop at all. He turned his body and rushed out of the crack. Then, without slowing down, he rushed straight to Toyotama's basket.
This series of movements is coherent and smooth, without any pause, like an artistic dance that has never appeared before, which is pleasing to the eyes and overwhelming.
Mitsuaki Iwata and Daijiro Itakura, who were already waiting under the Toyotama team's basket, were so frightened by the scene that they broke out in cold sweats.
What on earth had they just seen?
What is that action?
How come I've never seen that kind of dribbling before?
I can't see clearly, I can't understand, I can't comprehend.
Jack Carter was about to strike.
The two men's bodies suddenly tensed up.
Facing the two people waiting under the basket, Jack Carter's speed did not slow down at all.
He was like a streak of light flying rapidly through the universe, and appeared in front of the two people almost in the blink of an eye.
Mitsuaki Iwata and Daijiro Itakura did not dare to be careless. Although cold sweat kept dripping down their foreheads, they still made defensive movements.
The two men were close to each other, with one hand raised to block the shooting route and the other hand spread out to block the breakthrough route.
At this moment, the two of them seemed to merge into a broad, majestic and towering mountain, as if to block Jack Carter in front of the mountain.
Squeak...
An extremely harsh sound of sneakers rubbing against the ground was heard in the stadium.
Jack Carter seemed to have hit an invisible wall in front of Mitsuaki Iwata and Daijiro Itakura, and its forward movement came to an abrupt halt.
Emergency stop...
This thought flashed through the minds of Mitsuaki Iwata and Daijiro Itakura almost at the same time.
They were not unfamiliar with this scene, having seen it once before.
An ominous premonition arose in the hearts of both of them at the same time.
Does that mean the opponent is going to force a shot in front of both of them?
Sure enough, the next second, Jack Carter jumped high with the ball, raised his arms, and made a standard shooting action.
The two men's pupils suddenly shrank, and they shouted at the same time, pushed the ground with their feet, jumped up, and raised their arms high, trying to block all possible shooting routes of Jack Carter.
However, when they saw Jack Carter's actions clearly, they were all stunned.
Mitsuaki Iwata: "Are you kidding me?"
Daijiro Itakura: "Let's pretend?"
Not only the two of them, but everyone in the gym except Shohoku was stunned and dumbfounded.
Everyone couldn't believe their eyes and suspected that the scene before them was an illusion.
Tsuyoshi Minami, and the other two who had been broken through by Jack Carter before, were all dumbfounded, with expressions of shock, astonishment, horror, and disbelief on their faces.
Under the gaze of everyone in the audience, Jack Carter's body began to fall backward, backward, and backward again.
In the end, his body was almost parallel to the ground.
Fadeaway jump shot.
This thought came to everyone's mind.
They know the fadeaway jump shot.
But what the hell is this?
There should be a limit to fadeaway jump shots!
This can definitely be called a lying jump shot!
Next, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Jack Carter threw the basketball in his hand out while almost lying flat in mid-air.
The basketball shot out, passed over the hands of Mitsuaki Iwata and Daijiro Itakura, and flew into the Toyotama basket.
Swish...
A crisp and pleasant sound of the net being rubbed was heard.
The basketball fell into the basket accurately.
Shohoku leads Toyotama 27-0.
Beep...
Almost at the same time, the referee blew the whistle.
Toyotama requested a timeout.
Kanehira is Toyotama's coach and he has to call a timeout even if he has no say.
He still has coaching ethics.
Under such circumstances, the players will inevitably develop psychological trauma towards basketball, and it is even likely to affect their future basketball careers.
Although he felt that calling a timeout now was a bit overdue...
