NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

With 18 seconds left in the game, the score was still 56:56, but thanks to the rebound that Hanamichi had just fought hard for, the ball was finally in the hands of Wako Junior High School.

Because at that time, the Japanese junior high and high schools all adopted the FIBA ​​rules, which limited an attack to 30 seconds. So this possession of the ball can basically be said to be the last offensive possession of the entire game, of course, this is under the condition that nothing unexpected happens.

At this time, Wako Junior High School could have used the method of wasting time to finally complete the last attack of the game. Even if they didn't score, they could have played overtime. But if they scored, with only a little time left, it would undoubtedly be the last straw that broke the camel's back for the lagging Tomigusuku Junior High School. Not to mention it would be a fatal blow, but at least it would be impossible to catch up and it would be extremely difficult.

"Hurry up and press the ball in the frontcourt," Rukawa Kaede suddenly shouted. The players of the Fugaoka Junior High School basketball team were stunned at first, and then responded in unison with "Yes". The Fugaoka Junior High School basketball team members, who were at a loss just now, spontaneously launched a frontcourt press. They only targeted Hanamichi who had the ball and mobilized three people to double-team him.

The three formed an equilateral triangle, surrounding Hanamichi, and six hands were constantly waving back and forth in front of Hanamichi, in front of his eyes, and behind his head. This was not only interfering with Hanamichi's passing vision and restricting his dribbling, but also looking for the right opportunity to steal the ball from Hanamichi when he had the ball.

Rukawa Kaede himself was guarding the second-highest scorer of Wako Junior High School, Ryumasa Oda.

When it came to the last ten seconds of the game, the only player who still maintained a certain hit rate besides Hanamichi and Rukawa was Oda Ryumasa. So Rukawa knew it well and did not dare to relax on Oda Ryumasa at all.

Hanamichi saw that Oda was being closely watched and the rest of the people were standing outside. His passing route was completely blocked by the three people surrounding him, and at this time 6 seconds had passed, with only 4 seconds left.

If the offensive team fails to dribble the basketball across half court within 10 seconds, the referee will consider it a violation and the ball will be transferred to Fuqiu Middle School. Fuqiu Middle School will then have 8 seconds to attack.

Once this situation occurs, everything is settled. The "offensive ghost" Rukawa Kaede will not make low-level mistakes on key balls. Even if he is going to fall, he will probably fall after scoring the basketball (for details, refer to the battle between Hainan and Xiangbei).

There was no time to think about it. Hanamichi could only jump up and pass the basketball to Zeping's position near the center line. The 63-point passing ability obviously did not bring any benefits to Hanamichi. It was just a passing level that barely passed the passing line.

The good news was that Hanamichi was not mistaken, Zeping was at that position, and was watching Hanamichi's pass, and was ready to receive the ball; but the bad news was that Rukawa had already quickly run towards the center line basketball direction.

"Oh no!" Hanamichi said unconsciously as he watched Rukawa's actions.

"Oh no, stop him quickly!" Oda Ryumasa shouted to Zeping with a hint of expectation.

But unfortunately, Rukawa touched the basketball before Zeping, pushed the basketball to the sideline, and then ran after the basketball that was about to become a "dead ball". The next second before the basketball was about to go out of the line, Rukawa jumped up and caught the basketball. At this time, he was already above the sideline. He turned around, focused his eyes, threw the ball high, passed it to his own No. 11 center under the basket, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Ryumasa Oda chased Rukawa towards the sideline, and Hanamichi did the same, but after noticing Rukawa's passing, he quickly ran back towards his own basket, trying to block the No. 11 center from receiving the ball.

But because the distance was too far, even if Huadao rushed back at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, it was already too late.

The still unknown No. 11 center player of Fuqiu Junior High School caught the ball with one hand, and gently lifted the ball into the basket without any adjustment. It was a goal! Valid! !

The time was reset to zero, the game was 56:58, and Fuqiu Junior High School defeated Wako Junior High School by 2 points and entered the final. The other semi-final was between Kainan Affiliated Junior High School and Iwashimizu Junior High School. If nothing unexpected happened, Kainan Affiliated Junior High School, where "Wild Monkey" Kiyota Nobunaga was, should win.

"What a pity! It was just this short..."

"ikebana!"

Everyone in the Sakuragi Army showed deep regret, and seemed unable to accept the cruel fact before their eyes. However, at this moment, Oda Ryumasa, who was standing by, could no longer suppress his emotions, and tears rushed out like a flood.

This game was of great significance to him, but the result was not so good. Seeing this scene, Shimamura Ye Zi, who was watching the game on the sidelines, couldn't help but feel nervous. She clenched her hands tightly, her eyes full of worry and anxiety. At this moment, she felt sorry for this tenacious basketball boy.

"You've done great, Oda!"

Hanamichi was standing on the court at this moment, dazed, looking down at his hands:

“Is this what failure feels like?”

Hanamichi, a new basketball player, a talented rebounder, and a master of basketball data panel (beginner), finally experienced his first defeat in his life, which made him put away his contempt: This is not a world you take for granted! You will encounter setbacks and failures here. Even if you are familiar with the plot, you will still lose without hard power! In a word, comrades still need to work hard!

After Hanamichi figured it out, he walked towards Rukawa Kaede who had fallen to the sidelines and was slowly standing up, stretched out his right hand and said:

"Let's get to know each other again, third year student at Wako Junior High School~ (Sakuragi) Hanamichi."

Rukawa was startled, and he also stretched out his right hand, patted Hanamichi's right hand, and said:

"Third year at Fugaoka Junior High School~Rukawa Kaede."

Then he walked towards the center of the court without any delay, enjoying his unique moment.

All the members of the Fuqiu Junior High School team and the cheerleaders rushed into the field the moment the referee announced their victory. A group of people surrounded Rukawa Kaede, chattering, and the circle formed by the crowd moved with Rukawa Kaede's footsteps.

At this moment, everyone didn't care whether Rukawa was a little "fierce", "cold", or "difficult to communicate with" (when playing against Hainan, according to Rukawa's junior classmates' recollections, he was a little "fierce", "unkind, and "difficult to communicate with" in junior high school"). The joy of victory was enough to make these people's adrenaline surge. Now they are enjoying their happy time. If it weren't for the coldness that Rukawa usually showed, maybe they would have "thrown Rukawa up to celebrate"!

As for the special audience and guest stage, Coach Anxi wore a 360-degree holographic titanium alloy glasses lens, which captured the moment when Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede clapped their hands:

"Very good, very good, oh-ho-ho-ho!"

Coach Tian Gang on the side scored four goals. He slammed the table with his right hand, stood up and said:

"Very good, these two are the talents that we in Ryonan urgently need, I'll take them!" After saying that, he walked towards the team leaders of Fugaoka Junior High School and Wako Junior High School, and it seemed that he was going to ask for the basic information and contact information of Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede, leaving Coach Anzai alone sitting peacefully in the guest seat. Seeing him holding up the teacup, he looked as steady as a rock. I believe that in three months, he will use the actual situation to tell Coach Tanaka that your uncle is still your uncle!
