Shohoku bench.
Jack Carter sat directly in his seat after leaving the court.
One after another, the Shohoku team members praised him generously with excited expressions.
"Jack Carter, you are so amazing."
"Yeah! He can actually fight on equal terms with that Sendoh."
"Maybe we can actually beat Ryonan this time!"
...
Takenori Akagi also looked at Jack Carter with a very complicated expression.
He also didn't expect Jack Carter to be so strong.
But it was impossible for him to just open his mouth and say words of praise.
Kiminobu Kogure came to Takenori Akagi and said excitedly, "We have a really amazing guy in Shohoku! Isn't it, Akagi?"
Although Akagi thought so in his heart, his expression was sullen and he snorted coldly: "Humph, a guy with no sense of time."
Ayako was not stingy with her praise. She patted Jack Carter on the back and said, "Jack Carter, you are so amazing! Even Sendoh was defeated by you. Now our Shohoku is really prosperous."
Jack Carter looked indifferent. "That's it!"
At this time, Kara Smith came to the front of the crowd, holding a stack of information in her hand, and said: "Although we are 10 points behind the opponent now, we still have the advantage.
Everyone needs to pay attention to the cooperation between the opponent's players, and always pay attention to Sendoh's possible passes.
In the second half, everyone can..."
She began to explain to everyone the information about Ryonan's players and some things that needed to be paid attention to in the second half.
Everyone at Shohoku was listening attentively.
Coach Anzai sat quietly by the side, like an old man who didn't care about worldly affairs.
After Kara Smith finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Jack Carter.
Seeing Jack Carter in a daze, she said directly: "Ace, are you listening?"
"Ah? What?" Jack Carter came back to his senses and blinked.
Seeing him like this, Kara Smith looked helpless.
She said unhappily, "Really? You're like this every time. We're catching up! We're still behind! Can you be more serious and not let the other team beat you so easily?"
Ah?!
Jack Carter picked his ears and replied calmly: "I don't want to! I'm so tired."
"Ace..." Kara Smith looked angry.
Jack Carter sighed and replied: "But... that guy is quite capable, I'll be more serious in the second half."
When everyone heard the conversation between Jack Carter and Kara Smith, they were all confused.
What the hell?
Judging from the conversation between the two, wasn't Jack Carter's full strength before?
What a joke.
The other end of the bench.
Kaede Rukawa, who had remained silent, also frowned.
He looked towards Jack Carter, his eyes filled with a depth like the abyss.
Takenori Akagi also looked at Jack Carter, the meaning in his eyes was hard to understand, and no one knew what he was thinking.
...
Ryonan bench.
Ryonan's group formed a circle.
Moichi Taoka was giving a lecture to everyone.
He was feeling very heavy in his heart. "Listen, strengthen your defense in the second half and don't let Shohoku score easily."
"Yes..." Ryonan and the others said in unison.
Moichi Taoka turned his gaze to Sendoh and said, "Sendoh, Shohoku's No. 9 is now in your hands. You must defend him to death."
Sendoh nodded. "I understand."
Despite this arrangement, Moichi Taoka was still a little worried.
The pressure from Jack Carter was really sudden.
He thought for a moment, then said to Uozumi, "Uozumi, if you have the chance, please assist Sendoh."
When these words came out, everyone in Uozumi and Ryonan was stunned.
From what the coach said, does he want Uozumi to assist Sendoh in defending Shohoku No. 9?
Isn't this a bit too exaggerated?
Even though some people were puzzled, they did not dare to say anything in front of the coach.
Although Uozumi was a little confused, he still nodded and said, "Yes."
...
The second half of the game started soon.
Players from both sides took to the court again.
Ayako then curiously asked Kara Smith: "Kara, what did you mean when you said Jack Carter wasn't serious yet? Wasn't Jack Carter's full strength before?"
This issue also attracted the attention of other people in Shohoku.
Coach Anzai, who had been calm all the time, also listened carefully.
Kara Smith said slowly: "Well... you can't say that. Ace is the type who gets better in the second half of the game. You will understand the details later, or maybe even faster, after this game."
It's not that she doesn't want to explain.
She really doesn't know how to explain it.
On the court.
Sendoh took the initiative to come in front of Jack Carter. "Your name is Jack Carter, right? Why haven't I heard your name before?"
Jack Carter looked at him and replied, "I haven't heard of your name either."
Jack Carter just said this nonsense.
Of course, he wasn't lying.
If he had not watched "Slam Dunk" in his previous life, he would definitely not have heard of the name Sendoh now.
"Is that so?" Sendoh was not angry.
On the contrary, he felt that what Jack Carter said made sense.
With a smile on his face, he said meaningfully, "It looks like you'll have a chance to compete in this year's county competition. Then let me see how strong you are!"
Jack Carter grinned, looked at Sendoh in front of him, and said: "Then it depends on whether you have the ability."
For a moment, the atmosphere between the two sides began to become tense.
Beep...
A whistle sounded.
The second half of the Shohoku vs. Ryonan practice match officially begins.
As soon as the game started, there was a clear division on the field.
"This is..." Hikoichi Aida pointed at the current court and said with a puzzled look on his face.
"It feels like… everyone is gathered together!" Ryonan spoke up as a substitute.
Moichi Taoka crossed his arms and said seriously, "This is to give the aces more room to display their skills and let the aces decide the direction of the next game. This situation is very rare."
Hearing this, Ryonan's substitutes were all amazed.
Hikoichi Aida was so excited that he wrote and drew on his notebook, saying, "I see, it's an ace vs. ace! I didn't expect Shohoku's No. 9 to be so strong. I must write it down."
Moichi Taoka frowned and muttered to himself, "The key to the outcome of the next game will be in the hands of the two teams' trump cards."
Ryonan served first.
After some rotations, the basketball finally fell into Sendoh's hands.
Sendoh received the ball but did not attack immediately. Instead, he looked at Jack Carter and said, "Well, let's get started!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the basketball in Sendoh's hand fell to the ground, and he flashed and rushed to the right side of Jack Carter.
In just a blink of an eye, Sendoh had already passed behind Jack Carter.
"Breakthrough." Hiroaki Koshino said in surprise.
"No, not yet." Uozumi said solemnly.
Just after breaking through Jack Carter, Sendoh, a red figure was seen following closely from behind.
This person is none other than Jack Carter.
Sendoh also sensed a figure approaching rapidly from behind.
He suddenly stopped rushing forward and threw the basketball in his hand to the other side of the court.
Look at the direction the basketball is flying.
Standing there was Ryonan's power forward, Ryoji Ikegami, wearing the number 5 jersey.
He received the pass from Sendoh, then quickly rushed into Shohoku's inside line and was about to jump and layup.
Ah...
At this moment, Takenori Akagi stepped off the ground, spread his arms, and blocked Ryoji Ikegami's layup route.
"Here..." Suddenly, a voice sounded behind Ryoji Ikegami.
He recognized that it was Sendoh's voice, and without a second thought, he stopped his layup move and threw the ball directly in the direction behind him.
The basketball was back in Sendoh's hands.
At this time, Takenori Akagi, who had jumped up, had already started to fall and could only watch Sendoh jump up with the basketball.
Just as Sendoh was about to make a successful layup, Jack Carter rushed out suddenly, stretched out his arm, and slapped the basketball away.
Snap...
The crisp sound reached the ears of everyone present.
Sendoh's pupils trembled, but there was nothing he could do at the moment.
Falling back to the ground, Jack Carter said to Sendoh: "Such a slow and fast attack is useless."
Sendoh's face looked a little unhappy.
He had already accelerated his attack as much as possible, but still failed to shake off his opponent.
