Chapter 60 - Chapter 31: The Unstoppable Jack Carter

Bang...

Bang...

Bang...

Kenji Fujima dribbled the ball and rushed towards Shohoku's half like a black lightning.

Hisashi Mitsui was quick-witted and quick-handed, and he rushed forward to block the ball immediately, but Kenji Fujima was agile and made two quick changes of direction in a row, slipping through the gap in Hisashi Mitsui's defense like a loach.

Seeing this, Kaede Rukawa immediately filled in the position, like an indestructible wall, forcing Kenji Fujima to stop.

But Kenji Fujima obviously had a plan in advance. At the moment when he was forced to stop by Kaede Rukawa, he shook his wrist and slammed the ball to the ground beside him.

It was a precise ground pass.

The basketball bounced on the ground like a cannonball and flew straight to Toru Hanagata who was on the side of the Shohoku three-point line.

"Hanagata!" Takenori Akagi always kept his eye on Toru Hanagata, and naturally would not let the opponent get the ball so easily.

As soon as he saw the basketball flying over, Takenori Akagi immediately rushed forward like a tiger pouncing on its prey, stood firmly in his horse stance, and assumed a solid defensive posture.

Hanamichi Sakuragi stood not far away, but did not immediately cooperate with Takenori Akagi to assist in defense.

This gave Toru Hanagata the opportunity to break through.

Toru Hanagata turned around and easily bypassed Takenori Akagi, stepping into Shohoku's restricted area as if he were in an open space.

Hanamichi Sakuragi finally woke up from his dream, spread his legs, and rushed towards Toru Hanagata, trying to stop the ball before the opponent shot.

Takenori Akagi was also chasing closely behind Toru Hanagata and quickly caught up with him.

Two figures attacked him as fast as hungry wolves pouncing on their prey, but Toru Hanagata remained calm and steadily assumed a shooting posture.

"Don't even think about shooting." Hanamichi Sakuragi yelled at the top of his lungs, pushed off the ground with both feet, jumped high, stretched out his arms, and slammed the basketball in Toru Hanagata's hand with his palm like a big pot cover.

Takenori Akagi resisted the urge to jump up immediately and shouted to Hanamichi Sakuragi: "Don't be impulsive."

He has more experience than Hanamichi Sakuragi, and he can tell at a glance that there is something fishy about Toru Hanagata's shooting action.

He didn't believe that Toru Hanagata would make a shot that was so easily blocked.

As expected, Toru Hanagata did not throw the ball, but suddenly retracted his hand and held the ball tightly against his abdomen.

"Oh... Shit." Hanamichi Sakuragi realized that he had been deceived, and his heart was filled with resentment and anger, but at the moment he was helpless.

Takenori Akagi seized the opportunity and reached out to take the basketball from Toru Hanagata's arms.

But at this moment, a shadow flashed by like lightning.

It was a hand that reached the basketball in Toru Hanagata's hand faster than he did.

"What?" Takenori Akagi's pupils contracted instantly and he stood there in a daze, not understanding what was happening with this hand that appeared out of nowhere.

"Hanagata, be careful!" At this moment, a cry of surprise, like a thunderclap, reached everyone's ears.

Snap...

A crisp sound of ball hitting was heard.

At the same moment, Toru Hanagata felt his hand lighten. His eyes widened and his eyeballs behind the lenses were full of shock as he watched the basketball suddenly fly up from below and into his field of vision.

"How is this possible?!" Toru Hanagata panicked, looked horrified, and quickly looked around.

Soon, he discovered that a hand had reached out from behind him at some point.

Then, Jack Carter's somewhat teasing voice sounded behind him. "You think you can trap me by sending three people? You are too naive."

"It's him?! How could it be? Wasn't he..." Toru Hanagata's face was full of disbelief. He couldn't understand at all why Jack Carter appeared behind him.

On the other side, Kenji Fujima was also so frightened that he couldn't close his mouth, as if he had seen a ghost.

He didn't even notice when Jack Carter escaped from the triple team.

He subconsciously turned his head to look.

Shoichi Takano, Mitsuru Nagano, and Kazushi Hasegawa all looked incredulous at the moment, as if they had just realized that the target had disappeared.

"How could this happen? What exactly happened just now?" Kenji Fujima's mind was in a mess at the moment and he had no idea what was going on.

Not only him, but the entire stadium, whether it was the spectators or the basketball team members from other schools, all looked confused.

Even the referee was confused, as if there were countless question marks floating above his head.

However, amidst all the chaos and consternation, only one person seemed very calm, and that was Kara Smith, who was sitting on the Shohoku bench.

Time goes back a few seconds.

When Hanamichi Sakuragi was fooled by Toru Hanagata's fake move.

Jack Carter, who was trapped in a three-man double team, had already quietly started to act.

Even though he was surrounded by Shoichi Takano, Mitsuru Nagano, and Kazushi Hasegawa, it didn't mean he was completely unable to move.

As long as there was some room to move, it would be a piece of cake for Jack Carter to escape from the encirclement of the three people.

At first, Jack Carter only moved his body slightly. Although there were some collisions with the three people, the strength was within the normal range, just like a gentle push without warning.

Shoichi Takano and the other two quickly got used to Jack Carter's seemingly non-threatening activities.

However, just as they gradually relaxed their vigilance, Jack Carter suddenly exerted force and his speed instantly soared to the extreme.

This sudden change caused the three people's bodies to tremble instinctively, and their muscles tensed instantly.

However, they knew in their hearts that as long as they kept their footing, did not move rashly, and held Jack Carter tightly, the situation would still be under control.

But despite all their calculations, they still missed a crucial point.

They only remembered Jack Carter's amazing speed, but forgot that his ability to stop suddenly was also at an inhuman level.

Jack Carter was moving at high speed when he suddenly stopped.

At the moment when the other two people moved subconsciously due to inertia, Jack Carter used his body to block the action of the third person.

In an instant, a fatal flaw appeared in the encirclement that the three people had painstakingly constructed.

Jack Carter seized the opportunity and escaped from this fleeting flaw like a sharp arrow.

The basketball was intercepted and Toru Hanagata wanted to reach out and get it back.

Jack Carter moved as fast as lightning. He jumped high, swung his arm, and scooped up the basketball flying in the air. The basketball in his palm just passed over Toru Hanagata's head.

Jack Carter's movements were smooth and seamless.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, his speed immediately increased to Max, and he turned into a stream of red light and rushed towards Shoyo's basket.

Shoichi Takano, Mitsuru Nagano, and Kazushi Hasegawa also caught up at this time, preparing to work together to stop Jack Carter.

Their eyes were fixed intently on Jack Carter who was rushing towards them at high speed.

The three of them exchanged glances and understood each other's intention to build an indestructible line of defense to block Jack Carter's way.

Jack Carter looked at the three men coming at him aggressively, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a gleam of confidence flashed in his eyes.

His feet moved quickly like a phantom, and the basketball in his hand jumped at high speed between the ground and his fingertips, making dense and rhythmic "bang bang" sounds.

His dribbling speed was terrifying, a level higher than before, as if he had left time behind.

Faced with the siege of three people, Jack Carter did not hesitate or fear at all.

His body swayed as flexibly as a ghost, and the basketball seemed to be cast under a spell, sticking tightly to his hands.

In just a moment, he used his super-fast dribbling to slip through the tight defense gap formed by three people, just like a bird flying through thorns, effortlessly.

Only Shoichi Takano, Mitsuru Nagano, and Kazushi Hasegawa were left standing there in astonishment, the fleeting scene of Jack Carter still replaying in their minds, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

In the audience.

Nobunaga Kiyota's eyes widened in disbelief, and he shouted in surprise, "This speed is too fast. He actually broke through three people in one go."

Shinichi Maki frowned tightly, and the solemn look in his eyes became deeper and deeper. Jack Carter's actions really stirred up a storm in his heart. "This is not just as simple as breaking through three people. Those three people didn't even react."

Sendoh was also shocked by the scene on the field. His eyes suddenly widened and he muttered to himself: "His speed has increased again."

Hikoichi Aida looked up from the camera, her hands shaking and her face full of a ghostly expression. "Oh my God! The camera didn't even capture that moment clearly."

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

On the court.

The dense sound of basketballs hitting the ground, like rapid drumbeats, extended all the way from Shohoku's half to Shoyo's half.

Kenji Fujima was chasing after him with gritted teeth.

Jack Carter noticed the movement behind him and raised his eyebrows slightly. "Not bad!"

Just when Kenji Fujima was about to catch up, Jack Carter turned his wrist and made a beautiful behind-the-back change of direction, the basketball instantly switched from his right hand to his left hand, and his body also tilted to the left.

Seeing this, Kenji Fujima hurriedly moved to the left.

But the next second, Jack Carter curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a sly smile, and his hand movements suddenly changed again. With a change of direction under his hips, the basketball returned steadily to his right hand.

At the same time, his body suddenly tilted to the right, his feet pushed the ground hard, and he jumped high.

What?

Kenji Fujima, whose center of gravity had already shifted to the left, was stunned when he saw this scene.

He was clearly breaking through to the left just now, how come he jumped to the right in the blink of an eye?

Won't his legs break?

Kenji Fujima gritted his teeth and tried to stop himself, but it was too late.

At this moment, Jack Carter was floating in the air, his body tilted to the right, holding the basketball in his right hand, and then throwing the ball from bottom to top towards Shoyo's basket.

Formless Shot returns.

Under everyone's gaze, the basketball drew a strange arc, hit the backboard, and then bounced accurately into the basket.

Swish...

The basketball goes into the net.

Shohoku 6 compared to 24 Shoyo.

Hateful.

Kenji Fujima gritted his teeth secretly and clenched his fists, feeling both aggrieved and unwilling.

The game continues.

Ever since Jack Carter successfully escaped from Shoyo's triple team, he never gave the opponent a chance to double-team again.

To be precise, Shoyo wanted to try to double-team Jack Carter again, but he couldn't find any opportunity at all.

Jack Carter's figure is as elusive as a ghost, with no fixed position and always moving.

The speed at which he runs without the ball makes Shoyo's players run around in a hurry, and if they are not careful, the ball may be stolen by him.

When they wanted to make up for the loss, they were completely unable to keep up with Jack Carter's rhythm, and they felt very depressed.

After several rounds, not only did Shoyo's team lose a lot of energy, but their originally tight formation was also torn into pieces.

This gave Shohoku many opportunities to launch attacks and succeed repeatedly.

The score soared like a rocket.

In addition to Takenori Akagi and others who cooperated in the offense to score some points, most of the points came from Jack Carter.

Even though Shoyo was able to score a few goals in counterattacks with precise coordination, it was nothing compared to Jack Carter's almost unreasonable scoring speed.

Shohoku's deficit was being recovered at an alarming speed.

8 to 24.

15 to 26.

21 to 28.

26 to 30.

Finally, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half of the game.

The score on the electronic scoreboard made all the spectators gape in amazement.

Shohoku 33 compared to 33 Shoyo.

The first half ended in a draw.
