Chapter 49 - Chapter 21: Almost 100-Point Difference to Advance to the Top 8

Koichiro Nango was completely stunned at this moment. He looked at the scene in front of him with empty eyes, totally unable to believe his eyes. He stood there like a statue, his mind blank.

When the audience saw this scene, they all made sounds of amazement and mourned silently for No. 15 of Tsukubu for a few seconds. They were amazed at Jack Carter's magical performance and felt a little sympathy for Koichiro Nango's experience.

The two players fell back to the ground one after another. Jack Carter didn't even look at Koichiro Nango and turned back to defend without hesitation.

And Koichiro Nango still stood blankly under the basket, his eyes fixed on his own palms, as if he was doubting whether everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

Tsukubu's teammates also fell silent, with reluctance and disappointment written all over their faces.

Just like that, the first half gradually came to an end.

In the end, Shohoku temporarily led Tsukubu by 36 points with a score of 68 to 32.

The gap opened up to 36 points at halftime.

This result surprised the basketball team members from various colleges and universities who came to watch the game.

That's too exaggerated! They were one of the top eight teams in last year's county competition!

Everyone was talking about it, their hearts filled with shock.

Shinichi Maki, Kenji Fujima, Toru Hanagata, and Kainan's team members were also silent at this time.

Their hearts were deeply shocked.

Shohoku was more powerful than they had imagined, especially Jack Carter, whose strength was intimidating.

Now, even the usually confident Shinichi Maki began to be unsure if Kainan could withstand the fierce attack of Jack Carter if they faced Shohoku.

Kenji Fujima's thoughts have changed. He no longer thinks about how to defeat Kainan, but starts thinking about how to keep the second place in the county tournament.

Jack Carter brought him a lot of pressure. Although he didn't take Tsukubu seriously before, he now had to re-evaluate Shohoku's strength.

He stood up, turned to Toru Hanagata, and said, "Let's go, Hanagata."

Toru Hanagata looked at him in confusion and asked, "Are you not going to continue watching?"

Kenji Fujima looked determined and said seriously, "There's no need to watch anymore. Tsukubu has no chance of winning."

Toru Hanagata looked at the score on the scoreboard and nodded helplessly, acknowledging this.

With a huge score difference of 36 points, it is almost impossible to turn the game around in the second half.

This is also true.

After the second half of the game started, Tsukubu's momentum was completely different from that in the first half, as if their soul had been sucked out.

Although they did not give up the game, they were just making a final struggle.

Jack Carter continued to show his extraordinary keen sense of smell on both offense and defense, frequently stealing the basketball from his opponents.

When he met Tomokazu Goshiro, Tomokazu Goshiro looked at Jack Carter with a fearless look, as if he was ready to give it his all.

Jack Carter looked at the other party, with no intention of showing any mercy.

He suddenly exerted force with his feet, and he started moving instantly like red lightning, with a speed that was astonishing.

The basketball spun and jumped rapidly under his fingertips, as if it was given life.

His dribbling pace was dazzlingly fast. Tomokazu Goshiro quickly stepped forward to block him, his legs tense, staring intently at the basketball in Jack Carter's hands, trying to find an opportunity to steal the ball, but Jack Carter's movements were so unpredictable that he had no idea where to start.

The next moment.

Jack Carter suddenly changed direction, his body twisted like a spring, and the basketball switched positions between the ground and his fingertips at high speed, causing a whistling sound in the wind.

Tomokazu Goshiro hurried to catch up, but Jack Carter's movements were too fast. As soon as he moved, his steps were disrupted by Jack Carter's ghostly dribbling rhythm.

Jack Carter seized the opportunity and accelerated again. The basketball was like a cannonball, bouncing up and down rapidly under his control.

There was a flash of panic in Tomokazu Goshiro's eyes. He tried desperately to steady his body, but Jack Carter's super-fast dribbling was like a whirlwind, completely disrupting his defense.

With a "thump", Tomokazu Goshiro's feet seemed to be tripped by an invisible force. He lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.

Jack Carter didn't stop at all and rushed past Tomokazu Goshiro like red lightning.

Tomokazu Goshiro gritted his teeth, his heart filled with resentment, and a hint of despair revealed in his eyes.

Driving to the three-point line of Tsukubu, Hiroshi Natsume and Kenta Mine quickly stood in front, trying to stop Jack Carter's attack.

Jack Carter raised the corner of his mouth slightly and rushed straight towards the two without slowing down at all.

Looking at Jack Carter approaching rapidly, Hiroshi Natsume and Kenta Mine felt a little scared. They swallowed their saliva involuntarily, and cold sweat kept coming out of their foreheads.

But the two of them gritted their teeth and waited for Jack Carter's arrival.

"You're quite courageous." Jack Carter grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.

As soon as he finished speaking, he had already arrived in front of the two of them.

Hiroshi Natsume and Kenta Mine immediately spread their arms, trying to trap Jack Carter in the middle.

However, Jack Carter's figure flashed, and he turned around and pressed towards the side of the two men.

Seeing this, Hiroshi Natsume and Kenta Mine stopped their double-teaming actions instantly, and after realizing what was happening, they hurriedly prepared to turn around and chase after him.

Hiroshi Natsume was shocked and thought to himself, "It's so fast, I can't react at all!"

Kenta Mine was horrified and muttered to himself, "I've already prepared in advance, but I still can't keep up with his speed?"

Just as the two were about to turn around, a figure suddenly flashed between them, and at the same time, a strong wind blew across their bodies.

Hiroshi Natsume and Kenta Mine suddenly stopped turning around and looked extremely shocked.

They turned around in disbelief, only to see Jack Carter leaping high and throwing the basketball in his hand.

The two of them had no idea how Jack Carter had gotten through them.

But the audience outside the venue saw it clearly.

It turned out that when Jack Carter lowered his body and moved to the side of the two people, he quickly changed hands and turned back to the middle of the two people.

At that time, Hiroshi Natsume and Kenta Mine both thought that Jack Carter was going to break through from the side, so they focused most of their attention on the side and never expected that he would suddenly come back and pass through the middle.

Huh…ha…huh…ha…huh…ha…

As the game was coming to an end, all of Tsukubu's players were panting, as if they had just experienced a brutal battle.

Their mental state was terrible and they were depressed. The huge score difference was like a heavy rock, pressing on their hearts and making them breathless.

Jack Carter's dominance on the court brought them unprecedented physical and mental exhaustion. Every time they defended his attack, it was like fighting a ferocious beast.

However, it was not just Jack Carter who put them under great pressure.

In the second half of the game, other Shohoku players also exploded.

Takenori Akagi is like a towering mountain in the paint.

He scored points one after another, successfully suppressing Koichiro Nango, and grabbed most of the rebounds with his strong physique and excellent rebounding awareness.

Kaede Rukawa also performed well, with his score second only to Jack Carter.

Relying on his superb skills and strong personal ability, he repeatedly broke through his opponents and scored.

Hisashi Mitsui was not to be outdone. His three-point shots were like accurate cannonballs, hitting the target frequently and posing a huge threat to the opponent's defense.

On several occasions, he successfully blocked Tomokazu Goshiro's shots, demonstrating his comprehensive defensive ability.

His outstanding performance made Shohoku's offense more diverse.

Ryota Miyagi had the most assists in this game.

He is not only good at finding opportunities to steal the ball and disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm, but also shoulders the responsibility of connecting the team.

When there was no chance to pass the ball to Jack Carter, he was always able to pass the ball to Takenori Akagi, Kaede Rukawa, or Hisashi Mitsui in time, allowing Shohoku's offense to flow smoothly.

Shohoku used multiple attacks, both inside and outside, to completely defeat Tsukubu.

Finally, the whistle for the end of the game sounded.

Shohoku defeated last year's quarterfinal team, Tsukubu, with a huge score of 155 to 59, a difference of nearly 100 points.

Shohoku successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.
