"It's too fast, why can't you calm down?"

Hisashi Mitsui shot rashly, but the ball hit the basket and then flew out of the court.

"Great." Coach Gao Tou nodded secretly.

"What!"

He was surprised to find that Takenori Akagi jumped high and his fingertips actually touched the basketball, changing its trajectory.

There's still one minute and thirty seconds left.

This goal is very important.

The audience present, the bench in Xiangbei, and the players watching the game in Xiangyang and Lingnan, all looked at the goal nervously!

The basketball still flew out of the court, but there was too much chance to save the ball...

"Boom!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi hit the out-of-bounds seat hard and finally passed the ball back.

"boom!"

The basketball flew high. As soon as Mu Shen looked at the ball, he felt the tenacity of Xiangbei.

This ball finally fell into the hands of Rukawa Kaede.

At this time, even if he passed the ball to Rukawa Kaede, Sakuragi Hanamichi put aside his awkwardness and thought that he must score.

With everyone's efforts, Rukawa Kaede finally made a slam dunk!

Xiangbei adds two points!

And he himself was finally exhausted and fell to the floor, no longer having the strength to continue playing.

Xiangbei made a substitution and Mu Mugongyan came on.

"You have tried your best and performed very well. Leave the rest to your teammates." Coach Anxi encouraged.

Rukawa Kaede did not respond, his head was covered with a towel, his head was lowered, and his hands were curled up weakly.

"hateful!"

I felt very unwilling inside.

"I haven't lost yet! I haven't lost to Mu Shenyi yet! I haven't lost to him!"

Takenori Akagi is full of fighting spirit and has established the concept since his freshman year of high school. The battle with Hainan gave him strong belief.

After Bakuge grabbed the rebound, ignoring his foot injury, he passed the ball to Hisashi Mitsui.

But now, Mitsui has reached the limit of physical exhaustion.

With forty-five seconds left on the clock and Xiangbei trailing by 4 points, the comic reached its climax.

…

"Eh?" Torishima Kazuhiko reacted.

This week's content has not drawn a decisive battle yet, it is still just to enhance the atmosphere.

"Is there something wrong with my memory?" He was very confused.

"No, I subconsciously thought that Tori Akino-kun would definitely use the climax of the plot to face "COWA!", so it must be a decisive battle between Shohoku and Hainan. But... it didn't happen?"

Torishima Kazuhiko smiled.

"Toriakino-kun, you have grown up too."

…

"Toriakino-kun, you have grown up too."

Hirohiko Araki held the milk on his fingertips and read the comics with a happy smile on his lips.

He has always been very optimistic about this junior.

The other party's painting skills and plot design have been improving.

In the past, because of his competitive mentality, he increased the rhythm of the comic "Chess Soul".

But today, it's a serious showdown.

"It's so scary, today's young people." Araki Hirohiko said with a smile.

…

On Friday, Hibiki Higashino learned about the positive results of "Slam Dunk".

"34 votes behind? Yes, I understand."

This is very regrettable news, Hibiki sighed.

"COWA! 》His future results will be very poor, and he will never have a chance to surpass the real Akira Toriyama.

"What's wrong?"

Akimiya Akemi walked out of the kitchen, holding tonkotsu ramen in her hand.

The strong fragrance hit his nostrils, and Hibiki became excited for a moment.

"It's such a pity that Xiao Zheng came in second place." Higashino Hibiki said with a grin.

He couldn't wait to take the ramen, blew on it twice to lower the temperature of the noodles slightly, and then immediately sucked it into his mouth!

The mellow aroma of the soup base and the bounce of the noodles made him intoxicated.

"Phew~ It's delicious."

In the end, he drank all the soup.

After discovering that Higashino Hibiki was not disappointed, Akimiya Akemi stopped comforting him. She smiled and said, "You are such a glutton."

"Miss Qiugong's food is so delicious."

In ancient online novels, there would be mythical beasts and giant dragons that were tempted by the protagonist's food and barbecue, and Hibiki Higashino was the same.

Maybe in a fantasy world, Akimiya Akemi can become the protagonist.

…

It’s next Monday and jump is on sale again.

Yoshihiro Togashi didn't have time to watch.

He recently had a girlfriend and was dating.

The target is Naoko Takeuchi.

During the summer vacation, a party organized by Kazuo Uhara allowed him to become acquainted with Naoko Takeuchi.

Worried about being laughed at by Akino Mirai, he did not contact Naoko Takeuchi until after the party.

“Want to come to my house for some thrilling activities?”

If Naoko Takeuchi hadn't been fond of him, Togashi's waist would have been in danger.

"Ah, no, I'm watching a horror movie." Togashi explained quickly under Naoko Takeuchi's dangerous gaze.

Naoko Takeuchi agreed.

At Yoshihiro Togashi's house, they watched "The Living Fire" together, and finally came together naturally.

"You've been a little absent-minded." While shopping, Naoko Takeuchi asked with concern.

"Yes," Yoshihiro Togashi nodded, and he said straightforwardly: "When Tori Akino-kun's "Slam Dunk" series reached its climax, I am very curious about the next development."

Naoko Takeuchi feels the same way about this.

She is also looking forward to Tori Akino's new love manga.

The two of them were here, chatting about another man.

Hibiki sneezed constantly, fearing that he might catch a cold.

Hearing that Naoko Takeuchi was looking forward to Hibiki Higashino's new romance manga, Yoshihiro Togashi remembered that the Jump editorial department contacted him about the short manga competition.

So he told Naoko Takeuchi everything.

"Ah," Naoko Takeuchi's eyes shone, and she quickly asked, "Did Toriakino-kun participate?"

"There's no news yet. The New Year's party is the deadline. I'll ask him then."

It's November now, just over two months before the New Year's party.

"Then please," Naoko Takeuchi smiled sweetly.

Yoshihiro Togashi pointed to his face, indicating to reward himself.

"You are serious." Naoko Takeuchi was shy and lightly hammered Togashi's waist.

"It hurts!" Yoshihiro Togashi covered his waist and yelled.

…

"Bang!"

The basket is right there, Hua Chao jumps up and dunks hard!

The entire audience clapped vigorously, but Hua Chao frowned.

The new year's college basketball league has begun. As the semi-finals of the previous year, the Tunghai University basketball team, as the seed team, only played for the first time after the national competition.

Perhaps because he was too excited and used too much force, he felt that his waist was twisted.

Pains come and go.

Discovering this, the coach quickly replaced him.

At the end of the game, Donghai led by 35 points, and there was no suspense anymore.

Hua Chao went to the infirmary for a check-up. It was just a sprain, so she simply sprayed him with some spray and let him lie down to rest.

With nothing to do, he picked up the jump the nurse gave him and read it.

…

"It's unbelievable."

Not long after the comic started, the atmosphere became more and more solemn.

Facing the iron-clad wall of Hainan, it is difficult to find opportunities in Xiangbei.

Mitsui's shot, faced with Kiyota Nobunaga's defense, could only be thrown hastily, and it really missed.

In the scramble for rebounds, Sakuragi Hanamichi fell into a disadvantage again and was tightly guarded by Hainan players.

Fortunately, Miyagi Ryota stole the basketball in the crisis, and in the last twenty seconds, Shohoku finally got a chance.

Sakuragi Hanamichi used a fake move to pass someone.

Under the spotlight of the audience, he yelled, used all his strength, and headed for the basket.

"ah!"

Mu Shen stared at Sakuragi Hanamichi with a splitting gaze and jumped up to defend.

"Pour it in!" Rukawa Kaede on the bench gained strength and stood up and shouted loudly.

"Bang!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi successfully dunked!

Xiangbei is only two points behind!

and……

"Defensive foul, the goal is valid, and there is an extra penalty!"

This is simply a replica of Mu Shenyi!

"Bravo!"

"incredible……"

"Xiangbei did a good job! Keep chasing! Keep chasing!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi detonated the scene, and the entire audience cheered for him.

Even the other players in Xiangbei, who had been nervous, relaxed at this time.

Hua Chao stared at this scene in the comic with wide eyes.

"How exciting!" He fist pumped and cheered.

"It hurts." He cried out softly because of the strain on his waist and the sprain.

…

Sakuragi Hanamichi began to shoot free throws.

At this time, he thought of Takenori Akagi.

Before the game, Takenori Akagi's eyes were shining with stars, "No matter what time I go to bed, I am always thinking about the finals between Shohoku and Kanagawa in Hainan. It has been since the first grade and has never stopped!"

This is Takenori Akagi after his ankle injury:

"It doesn't matter if the bones are broken, or if you can't walk...this is an opportunity that was finally grasped!"

Even if the free throw was successful, Xiangbei was still one point behind and time was running out.

Sakuragi Hanamichi decided to believe in Akagi Takenori's beliefs.

At this time, Nobunaga Kiyota, who was responsible for guarding Mitsui Hisashi, also noticed that Mitsui Hisashi was staring at the basket with burning eyes.

"Could it be!" He had a guess!

At this moment, Sakuragi Hanamichi made a shot and the basketball hit the ground running.

Takenori Akagi jumped up and grabbed the rebound among the crowd!

Even if the slam dunk is successful, the score is tied. After entering overtime, Xiangbei, who had no physical strength, was no match for Hainan.

So he decided.

"Mitsui!"

He passed the basketball to Hisashi Mitsui!

This is Xiangbei’s strategy!

If he scores a three-point goal, Xiangbei will win by one point over Hainan!

"What!" Mu Shenyi did not expect this.

Hainan may lose!

Nobunaga Kiyota ran over and jumped after Mitsui Hisashi took action!

This ball flew over Nobunaga Kiyota, like a bird returning to its nest, flying to the basket in a perfect arc!

Everyone in the field had a blank mind, staring blankly at the trajectory of the basketball.

Mitsui Hisashi clenched his fist, this feeling...

"In!"

However……

"Snapped."

The basketball hit the rim!

There are only the last ten seconds left!

"Rebound king! Sakuragi!"

At this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi grabbed the rebound while being surrounded by Hainan.

There is still a chance for everything!

"Come on!" Countless people cheered him up!

"Gorilla!" Sakuragi Hanamichi was surrounded and passed the ball in a panic.

"Eh?" The person who got the basketball showed a confused expression.

That was Ichima Takasago of the Hainan team.

"Ah!" Sakuragi Hanamichi's heart trembled violently.

The game is over...

…

"Xiangbei lost..." Hua Chao said to himself.

They tried their best and fought hard, but they lost the game.

Seeing the Hainan team players cheering in the cartoon, Hua Chao was not as sad as he imagined.

At the last moment of the comic competition, it no longer mattered to him who won or lost.

Because it was really exciting. Facing the powerful Hainan team, Xiangbei was able to maintain its position until it was only one point behind and lost. It was already a superb performance.

"I'll win in the future." He murmured to himself.

The comic is at its end.

Rukawa Kaede's pupils lost color and he was stunned.

Caiko covered her mouth, her big eyes filled with tears.

She knew how much Takenori Akagi had paid, and she was heartbroken.

Takenori Akagi's eyes widened and he breathed violently.

Sakuragi's eyes trembled, trying not to cry.

The team members in Xiangbei were all very sad, and the lessons learned this time will be engraved in their hearts.

Mitsui Hisashi is still wondering why the final three-pointer was not made?

It turned out that Kiyota Nobunaga's efforts were not in vain, and his fingertips touched Mitsui's shot.

"Yes, not only Xiangbei is working hard, Hainan is also trying its best."

Carrying the honor of being kings for sixteen years, they cannot lose.

"Breathe. Breathe."

Hua Chao took a deep breath and tried to calm down her mood.

The end of the episode "Slam Dunk" made his heart surge with excitement and waves. He didn't know what he was thinking in his mind, and it was like a little monk ringing a bell, making a buzzing sound.

My chest was also flooded with emotions and swollen terribly.

He watched Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes lose focus, watched Takenori Akagi finally calm down, pressed Sakuragi Hanamichi's furry head to comfort him, and watched Sakuragi Hanamichi burst into tears.

He gritted his teeth tightly, tears streaming down his face, his whole body trembling, and his whole body was wrapped in unwillingness and regret.

""It's my own fault that caused Takenori Akagi's three-year dream to be shattered. It's my own fault that caused other people's efforts to be in vain." Sakuragi Hanamichi must be thinking this way..."

Hua Chao thought.

He had had this idea before.

That was when the Tokai basketball team lost to the Nippon Sports University basketball team in the college basketball league finals.

"But there is still a chance!"

This year is the last year, and Yagami and the others are about to graduate.

"Seize the last chance and win the national championship!"

His fighting spirit is high!

"it hurts!"

The sprained waist protested.

He could only take a good rest.

"Xiangbei still has a chance, and the runner-up can also qualify! As long as we beat other teams, we can still compete with Hainan."

He looked at the comics with burning eyes.

"Xiangbei! Come on!"

…

"Xiangbei! Come on!"

Readers looked at the latest episode of "Slam Dunk".

"We lost at the last moment again."

"It's really uncomfortable."

"But it's impossible to defeat Hainan from the beginning, right?"

"There is still room for adjustment in Xiangbei."

Countless people are arguing on the Internet.

The Hainan war painting is so exciting, and because of the popularity of the animation, the popularity of "Slam Dunk" continues to rise.

There are very few people who complain, and readers in this era are quite tolerant.

After reading this episode, they loved "Slam Dunk" even more. The most popular comments were:

"Xiangbei! Come on!"

Thanks to AME for the point coin reward.
