Rebirth of Akutsu, dominating the Black Basketball Team

Chapter 76 Suppression
However, the players of Jinno closely guarded their opponents and did not give Takao any chance to pass the ball.

And because Takao focused too much on passing the ball, his attention became somewhat distracted.

Shimizu, who was facing Takao, quickly saw through Takao's flaw.

In the first half, Qingshui was worried that it was a trap set by the opponent and did not dare to act rashly.

After observing for half the game, Shimizu confirmed that this was most likely a shortcoming that the opponent itself was not aware of.

When Takao's attention was distracted for a moment again because of observing his teammates, Shimizu suddenly made a shot and cut the ball.

Steal successful!

The basketball rolled to the floor and Qingshui rushed over to control the ball.

At the same time, Akutsu, who was originally entangled with Midorima, immediately broke away from Midorima and ran towards Shutoku's half of the court.

Of course, Midorima couldn't just watch Akutsu's quick attack, so he ran just as fast.

Seeing this, Shimizu quickly threw the basketball to Shude's half before Takao could grab it.

However, due to the rush, the quality of the pass was not high; the speed of the ball was too fast and a little too high.

Akutsu ran while looking back to make sure the location of the basketball.

And Midorima followed closely beside Akutsu.

The moment they stepped onto the three-point line, they both jumped at the same time, turned their backs to the basket and reached out to catch the ball.

Because Akutsu is slightly faster, Midorima will be in a position to touch the ball first.

But the basketball brushed past Midorima's fingers and was caught steadily by Akutsu behind him.

Just now, the two of them jumped at the same time, but Akutsu's hand was one palm higher than Midorima's.

After catching the ball, Akutsu took advantage of the inertia of gliding backwards and turned around in the air to slam dunk!
"boom!"

A strong sense of shock swept all around, and the stadium and the audience seats became quiet in an instant.

Then, there was a loud cheer from the audience.

"Hey, hey, hey, this is too exaggerated, right? It's even higher than Vulcan's jump, and it can stay in the air longer!"

In Seirin's viewing area, Hinata stared at Akutsu hanging on the basket and gasped.

The female coach Reiko Aida also looked solemn, but soon she was relieved.

"Kanno is in the lower half, so we don't need to consider him for now. I need to consider Tonghuang Academy."

Aida Reiko spoke.

Hearing about Touou, Seirin and the others fell silent. No one had forgotten the disastrous defeat they suffered against Touou during the county tournament.

Aomine Daiki is an opponent as formidable as Akutsu Jin.

If it weren't for the reform of the competition system, the Tokyo region would have one more spot than before, and they, Seirin, would have been eliminated and would not even be qualified to enter the national competition.

"Everyone, please watch the game carefully. We may not be without hope."

When the atmosphere was low, Muji Teppei spoke up to encourage.

Akutsu fell to the ground from the basket, "sizzle~", and the electric light in his eyes turned on again.

"Shintaro, the real game is about to begin!"

Akutsu looked at Midorima and spoke.

“This is bad!”

Looking at Akutsu's condition, Takao swallowed and felt very guilty.

If he hadn't made a mistake and had the ball intercepted, this situation might not have happened.

Shutoku has the ball, Midorima receives it at the baseline and then shoots directly!

Three-point shooting across the entire field!
"Snapped!"

However, the next second, the basketball was blown away by Akutsu.

After entering the zone, for Akutsu, Midorima's shot "pre-swing" was too long, which was enough for him to block it.

"hateful!"

Midorima gritted his teeth unwillingly. As a super shooter, there would come a day when he would be faced with the dilemma of not being able to shoot.

Just after Akutsu walked past Midorima, he suddenly paused. Just then he felt that Midorima's momentum changed.

Akutsu turned around and saw that, as expected, Midorima had entered the zone again.

However, compared to the first time, this time seems a little unstable.

"Huh~" Midorima closed his eyes and exhaled deeply.

When he opened his eyes again, the zone state had stabilized.

Seeing this, Akutsu's expression turned serious, no longer as relaxed as before.

Midorima was running quickly and suddenly jumped up.

In order to prevent the opponent from making an alley-oop shot, Akutsu also jumped up.

In mid-air, Midorima turned around and leaned on Akutsu, receiving the pass from Takao.

In order to prevent the ball from being intercepted by Akutsu, Midorima used his body to block Akutsu.

When both sides landed, the basketball was already in Midorima's hands at different times.

Akutsu stared at Midorima intently, because he knew that if he relaxed for a moment, the basketball would go through his own basket.

Midorima and Akutsu launched a high-speed attack and defense on the court like two lightning bolts.

Suddenly, Midorima made a shot.

Akutsu jumped up to block the shot.

At this moment, Midorima quickly collected the ball and prepared to break through.

No one expected that Midorima, who had always been shooting from outside the three-point line, would one day break through and score under the basket.

Except for Akutsu.

The action that had just taken off paused, the center of gravity sank rapidly, and then he took a quick sideways step to block the angle of Midorima's breakthrough.

"How can it be?!"

Midorima was shocked, he had clearly shaken Akutsu's center of gravity.

There's no way that jump could have been faked.

Akutsu grinned and then cut the ball directly.

Midorima dribbled sideways, blocked Akutsu's steal, and then turned around and prepared to break through from the other side.

As a result, when Midorima had just turned halfway, the basketball was directly poked away by Akutsu from behind.

Fortunately, Midorima reacted quickly and regained control of the basketball without losing the ball.

However, Akutsu's defense still put him under tremendous pressure.

Midorima did not give up and jumped again to prepare for the shot.

"too naive!"

Akutsu then jumped up, blocking Midorima's shooting angle.

However, what Akutsu did not expect was that Midorima did not shoot, but passed the ball directly to the ground.

When he couldn't break through Akutsu alone, Midorima tried to trust his teammates.

Akutsu reacted quickly, and even though the incident happened suddenly, he still reached out to try to intercept.

The basketball was touched by his palm and changed its direction.

Gaowei desperately pounced on the basketball, then waved his hand in mid-air to send the basketball back to its original track.

Shutoku center Taisuke Ootsubo received the ball and forced the ball into the net despite the defense of Shigo Tamura.

However, Shen Ye immediately returned one.

Akutsu faced Midorima's defense, made a triple threat fake, and then started quickly.

Midorima quickly retreated to defend himself.

But Akutsu quickly pulled back and then took a step back jump shot.

Midorima didn't have time to change his center of gravity and could only watch Akutsu jump.

The score between the two sides was 64:69, with Shen Ye overtaking by 5 points.

Shutoku finally found an opportunity and with the pick-and-roll by Taisuke Ootsubo, he gave Midorima a split second to shoot.

Midorima did not waste the opportunity and made a three-pointer.

But looking back, Akutsu rushed to the basket and was intercepted by three defensive players including Midorima.

With a handsome drift and fade away, the basketball was steadily sent into the basket.
