Chapter 14
The battle was a battle, but the enemy was defeated.
"Brothers, please be patient! The guys on the other side are not strong enough, so don't worry. I'll show you how to deal with them. We must not let our opponents underestimate us and think we are weak and can be bullied!"
Bai Ze said to the people around him confidently, with a firm look in his eyes. After hearing this, the nervousness of the crowd gradually calmed down, and they all looked at Bai Ze with trust.
In the past few months, Bai Ze has shown stronger strength than everyone else, so his words are more convincing.
"Hehe, he's just a first-year kid. I'll crush him to pieces!" The center of the Aoba team looked at Murasakibara's towering body, feeling indignant.
After everyone stood in their respective positions, the referee threw the basketball high into the air.
The center of the Aoba team jumped up quickly like a spring, trying to show his strength in front of Murasakibara and give him a warning.
However, just as the ball was still rising slowly in the air, a huge black shadow like a giant beast suddenly rose into the air at an astonishing speed, and its jumping power was so strong that it was an overwhelming advantage.
In the blink of an eye, the tall and mighty figure was reflected on the center's face like a mountain crushing an egg.
"Oh my god! What kind of monster is this! He can jump so high!" The center's face turned pale instantly, and his eyes revealed an undisguised look of fear. He was extremely shocked by the terrifying talent that Murasakibara possessed.
Then, because Murasakibara jumped up too early, he was penalized for a jump ball violation.
"What a joke! How can someone jump so high!"
"He is not only tall, but also has such amazing jumping ability."
There were bursts of exclamations from the audience, and everyone couldn't help but gasp, completely stunned by Murasakibara's shocking jump ball performance.
The center on the court looked confused and astonished. He couldn't believe that he would be completely suppressed by a freshman! This was simply a mockery of his years of hard work.
"Don't be discouraged! That guy is just better at jumping. He is definitely not your opponent in terms of strength! Cheer up, we are ready to launch the attack, follow me!" The point guard gently patted the center's shoulder and looked at him with a firm and encouraging look.
The center raised his head slightly and forced a smile to respond, but deep in his heart, he was still filled with endless fear and confusion.
Despite his fear, the center slowly took steps and ran towards the front court. Every step seemed extremely heavy, as if he was carrying a heavy burden.
As he walked, he silently comforted himself in his heart: "He is just a freshman. What's wrong with his jumping ability? The real winner still depends on hard power! I will let you see my superb skills under the basket later, so that you can know what it means to be old and experienced!"
With such complicated emotions, the center finally came to the position under the basket.
He took a deep breath and tried to adjust his state to meet the next challenge.
Everyone was in position on the court, and the point guard of Aoba was ready to start their first attack.
The small forward faced Bai Ze's defense, and he directly approached the point guard at the top of the arc from the left end of the three-point line, "Come on, hit him for me."
The small forward was very confident and looked down on Bai Ze's defense. He was determined to give Teiko's freshmen a deep blow.
Looking at the approaching small forward, the point guard had a firm look in his eyes and passed the basketball in his hand without any hesitation. Because he had full trust in the small forward, you know, the other party is the ace player of Aoba Middle School!
After successfully receiving the ball, the small forward smiled crookedly: "Little guy, if you know what's interesting, get off the court quickly. This is not a place for a rookie like you to make a fool of yourself. You should call Nijimura."
As soon as the voice fell, the small forward dribbled quickly, leaning his body to the left, trying to use the speed advantage to get rid of Bai Ze who was defending him. However, facing such an unfamiliar left-side breakthrough skill, Bai Ze laughed in his heart, stretched out his right hand effortlessly, and accurately predicted the falling position of the basketball.
With a muffled "bang", the basketball escaped from the small forward's control like a wild horse and was snatched by Bai Ze. Then, Bai Ze rushed to the backcourt like an arrow.
At this time, the first person to come to his senses was the point guard.
He immediately leaned forward and accelerated, rushing straight towards Bai Ze like a ferocious cheetah. Unfortunately, he was not a superstar like LeBron James after all, and he couldn't even touch the wind caused by Bai Ze's passing.
Bai Ze flashed and rushed to the basket like a flash of lightning. He jumped high, his body spinning in the air, and the basketball in his hand passed through the sky like a windmill, and then slammed it into the basket.
Score 2:0
The whole stadium was boiling instantly, and the audience widened their eyes, unable to believe what they saw. This freshman was able to complete such a difficult windmill dunk!
At this time, the point guard stood there blankly, watching Bai Ze wreak havoc on the basket in front of him. He was full of helplessness and fear. He originally thought that he was already very powerful if he could touch the basket, but now he was completely scared by Bai Ze. Obviously, the height difference was not far, but others could do windmill dunks in the first grade, while he could only barely touch the basket.
"Fuck, this grade can dunk? And it's a windmill dunk!"
"Is this a gifted freak?"
The audience exclaimed again, they were extremely shocked by the amazing strength shown by Bai Ze. This level of performance was no less than the surprise of the jumping talent of Murasakihara just now.
After landing, Bai Ze did not stop his performance. He turned his head to look at the small forward, with a slight smile of disdain:
"Aoba's trump card? My grandma's dribbling is better than yours!"
This sentence was like a sharp sword, deeply hurting the self-esteem of the small forward. He clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes flashed with angry flames.
"Smelly boy, don't be arrogant, I was just careless just now!" The small forward was so angry that his face turned red. He approached the point guard again and asked him for the ball, "Give me the ball, I'll play again, and I'll definitely beat him this time."
The point guard who had just dribbled the basketball to the front court hesitated for a moment, but still chose to believe in his own trump card, and then passed the basketball to him.
This time, the small forward didn't say much to mock Bai Ze. He planned to respond to Bai Ze's dunk with his own strength.
Looking at Bai Ze's iron-clad defense, the small forward used a three-threat to try to break through Bai Ze's defense. However, Bai Ze, who was only one body away from the small forward, was as steady as a mountain and did not move at all.
For Bai Ze at this moment, the small forward's slightly clumsy three-threat skills had no deterrent effect at all.
Seeing that Bai Ze had no reaction, the small forward couldn't help but feel proud in his heart: "Hehe, in this case, let me show you my shooting. My shooting speed is so fast that you can't defend me."
So, he jumped up without hesitation and shot a confident three-pointer.
With a crisp sound of "pop", the basketball was ruthlessly blocked by Bai Ze. Then, with his amazing predictive ability, Akashi accurately judged the landing point of the basketball, quickly picked it up, and then rushed to the front court like an arrow.
After witnessing all this, Qingfeng immediately increased his speed to the limit, and pointed upwards at Akashi in front of him.
Akashi understood Qingfeng's intention immediately, and he threw the basketball in his hand high up without hesitation.
A nearly perfect arc crossed the sky and fell accurately into the hands of Qingfeng in mid-air.
Qingfeng flying in the air was like an eagle spreading its wings and swooping straight towards the basket. With a loud "clang", the entire basket trembled due to the violent impact.
Qingfeng and Akashi successfully completed an amazing aerial relay, and the audience was shocked, cheering and screaming one after another!
The score came to 4:0
When the point guard dribbled the ball to the frontcourt again, he ignored the small forward's request for the ball.
Seeing this scene, the small forward also knew that he had just made a mistake, but he didn't complain too much in his heart. For the point guard, he just needed to handle the cooperation on the court calmly.
At this time, the center came forward to ask for the ball. Based on the shock that Murasakibara had just brought him, he decided to hit Murasakibara with a ball and teach him that only good footwork and offensive means under the basket can make a good center.
Seeing the center come up, the point guard hesitated for a moment, but still chose to trust the center, hoping that the center could teach Murasakibara a lesson.
Knowing the trust of the point guard, the center's confidence increased greatly, and he dribbled the ball directly with his back to the body, and hit Murasakibara behind him with force.
With a bang, the sound of muscles colliding with each other began immediately. The center gathered all his strength to fight against Murasakibara, but Murasakibara did not move at all.
"How can the power gap be so far!" The center was amazed and had to grit his teeth and turn right directly, doing
Seeing the fake shot, Murasakibara jumped up without hesitation, trying to block the shot.
"Haha, what a fool, he is just a freshman, and he was fooled so easily." The center secretly gloated, and then quickly performed a skillful up and down step, and then jumped up, holding the basketball in his hand high, ready to throw it towards the basket.
However, at this moment, there was a crisp sound of "snap", and Murasakibara reacted at an astonishing speed, jumping up again like lightning.
Relying on his extraordinary jumping ability and physical fitness, he rushed to the center again, mercilessly fanning the ball that the center had just thrown away. This blow was so powerful that the center was knocked to the ground on the spot, in a mess.
Murasakibara, who completed this wonderful block, seemed calm and composed. He looked down at the center sitting on the ground, his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a disdainful smile, and whispered: "Be careful or I'll crush you!"
Facing such a strong Murasakihara, the center couldn't help but feel fear, looking at the other party with horror, muttering to himself: "How...how could this happen? How is this possible!" He really couldn't believe that he would be defeated so miserably in front of this seemingly insignificant opponent.
Bai Ze locked the landing point of the basketball as fast as lightning, and his eyes swept across the situation on the court. He saw that his teammates had completed a fast break at lightning speed, and the opponent was chasing back to defense. At this critical moment, he made a quick decision and saw Midorima standing three steps away from the three-point line.
Without any hesitation, Bai Ze used all his skills and shot the basketball in his hand straight at Midorima like a cannonball. This long pass from the four-point position was like a stroke of genius, which amazed everyone.
Midorima's eyes widened, and he looked at the basketball rushing towards him in astonishment. An indescribable feeling surged in his heart: "Since you trust me so much, I will do my best and wait for fate. According to the divination this morning, Cancer has the best fortune, and the lucky item is a doll."
Thinking of this, Midorima's confidence doubled, and he encouraged himself secretly: "So, I will never miss any ball!"
In a flash, Midorima jumped up and flew high, holding the basketball tightly in his hands. He adjusted his posture and swung his arms hard, and the basketball drew a colorful and perfect arc in the air.
"You are kidding, how could someone shoot from such a far distance!" The shooting guard, who was not ready for defense, shouted in disbelief, expressing strong doubts and denials of Midorima's behavior.
"Such an exaggerated parabola height, it is absolutely impossible to hit the basket!"
"It's crazy, dare to throw such a ball!" All the spectators around echoed the point guard's opinion, and they expressed their disbelief in unison - because they had never heard of this unique and rare shooting method before, let alone witnessed it with their own eyes!
However, at this moment, Bai Ze and other players chose to turn around and quickly return to defense, as if they had already gotten used to it. After all, in the daily arduous training process, they knew very well about Midorima's terrifying shooting accuracy.
After Midorima completed the shooting action easily and freely, he turned around without hesitation and gently pushed the frame of his glasses with his slender middle finger.
When he noticed that all his teammates had quickly retreated to their own half, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It feels so wonderful to be trusted unconditionally by everyone."
In the next game, Bai Ze and his teammates showed even stronger strength. They had a perfect understanding and cooperation, and every attack was as smooth and natural as flowing water.
The passes of Shirazawa and Akashi were as elusive as ghosts, making it difficult for the opponent to defend; Murasakibara and Aomine frequently attacked the opponent's defense with their outstanding personal abilities, and sent the ball into the goal again and again; and Midorima's half-court shooting was so terrifying!
The audience on the field was shocked by this wonderful performance, and cheers came one after another.
Coach Aoba on the sidelines looked at Shirogane Kozo with envy, and cursed in his heart: "Damn it! Why did you find five such talented players at once? It's really unfair!"
He knew that there was no suspense in this game, and the opponent was too strong to have such a dream team.
The final game ended with 105:54, and Teiko Junior High School won a big victory!
