The game was tied with only 3 minutes left.

Rukawa tied the score in just 2 minutes after the long break. Now it is 48:48. In the first half, Rukawa scored 18 points. In the second half, he scored 20 points, including the points he just recovered. Now Rukawa has scored 38 points, and the game is not over yet.

You should know that in a 40-minute game for junior high school students, the score is generally not high because of the lack of tactics, generally low personal quality, random shots, and physical fitness. The total score is generally around 40 points. Now Rukawa has scored 38 points alone, which is really amazing. He deserves to be called the "offensive ghost".

Relying on Rukawa's excellent pursuit of points and the inspiring "2+1", the players of Wako Middle School have been completely defeated by him in terms of momentum. Some players on the field are stiff and lifeless, and even the basic running empty positions seem so clumsy and unflexible.

Even the captain, Oda Ryumasa, didn't know what to say to boost morale about the situation on the court. After all, he couldn't stop the opponent from scoring!

"Everyone just shoot the ball next. Once you find an opportunity, shoot decisively. You must believe in the existence of me, the rebounding king and genius. As long as I am here, the rebound is my world!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi clapped his hands and shouted loudly. He knew that the team had been suppressed in momentum at this time. Once the belief in winning was shaken, the next 3 minutes would be the last 3 minutes on the court of this basketball game of Wako Middle School.

Oda also reacted at this time and quickly agreed: "Everyone, do as Hanamichi said. Let's shoot when we have the opportunity. No matter how powerful the opponent is, he is just one person. As long as we win, we can enter the finals."

"Captain"! ×3

"Yes"! ×3

Then Zeping found an open position at the corner and shot, but the basketball hit the basket. Seeing this, Hanamichi, with his keen sense of rebounds, predicted in advance that the basketball would not fall far away, so he jumped high, grabbed the basketball in his hand, and threw it towards the basket. This was a tip-in. Hanamichi scored +2 points and rebounded +1. Wako Junior High School once again overtook.

It was Fuqiu Junior High School's turn to attack. Rukawa held the ball and made a wave of dribbling attacks with gorgeous skills. The layup took only 8 seconds in total and the two sides tied.

Wako Junior High School served again. Zeping had just received the ball when he was forced to lay up by Rukawa. This time it was Fuqiu Junior High School's turn to take the lead.

The two sides went back and forth, constantly overtaking each other's scores. Fuqiu Junior High School relied on Rukawa Kaede's amazing strength and personal performance to steadily control the score rhythm on the court; while the other side relied on Sakuragi Hanamichi's rebounds and second-time basket attacks to hold the score tightly and overtake from time to time.

With only 29 seconds left in the game, Hanamichi of Wako Junior High School grabbed the rebound, passed the ball to assist Oda Ryumasa, and scored.

At this time, the two sides were tied 56:56.

This score is already considered a very high score in the junior high school world. If there is no super scorer in the team, it is impossible to get such a high score. Takeishi Junior High School, which has the best scorer and junior high school MVP (Most Valuable Player) Mitsui Hisashi, only scored 55:53 in the final match against Yokota Junior High School.

"I didn't expect that (Sakuragi) Hanamichi of Wako Junior High School has such solid rebounding skills and footwork under the basket. Wako Junior High School can fight with Fuqiu Junior High School until this time. He really contributed a lot. If we have (Sakuragi) Hanamichi guarding the basket and attacking the basket, Yuzumi as the sea-stabilizing needle in the restricted area, Sendoh organizing the offense of the entire team, and Rukawa Kaede to carry out the offensive task, this team will definitely be an absolute luxury fleet. I must recruit them well."

Coach Tanaoka clenched his fists tightly, thinking with a firm and confident look in his eyes.

Coach Anxi laughed and said, "The rebounding champion? It's really unexpected! Oh, hohoho..."

The ball was still in the hands of Fuqiu Junior High School. This time, Rukawa chose to break through and shoot.

"I won't let you shoot so easily every time," Sakuragi Hanamichi shouted while running. At the moment when Rukawa shot, Hanamichi also jumped high and tried his best to block the basketball in the air with his palm. The basketball gradually passed Sakuragi's palm as it flew.

But when Rukawa landed in the air, he frowned. It turned out that he found that because of Hanamichi's strenuous interception, the basketball was rubbed by his fingertips, which slightly changed the arc of the basketball's projection. This ball was unlikely to hit the basket, so after landing, he kept rushing to the basket, ready to occupy an advantageous position in advance.He positioned himself well to grab the rebound. There were still 21 seconds left before the end of the game.

Similarly, Hanamichi turned around and ran to the basket after landing, shouting "grab the rebound" while running!

In a moment, the basket was crowded with people.

Rukawa took advantage of his position and made a good positioning posture early, firmly blocking Hanamichi and Oda Ryumasa who came later. Hanamichi looked up at the basketball that hit the neck of the basket, and tried to break through Rukawa's positioning with brute force, but was blocked by his arm and could not make a breakthrough. So he turned 180 degrees and quickly changed the breakthrough point, preparing to break through from his right hand, but under Rukawa's deep positioning basic skills, it was useless.

Seeing that the basketball was about to fall, the three of them could only jump at the same time. Oda Ryuzheng was soon covered by the figures of Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi. Seeing that Rukawa Kaede's hand was about to touch the basketball, Hanamichi suddenly had an idea and remembered a trick that NBA big worm Rodman used to use, that is, "penalty kick". As the name suggests, when one's side is at a disadvantage in grabbing rebounds, continue to point the ball up and point it into the air, thus starting the next jump and rebound grabbing link.

When Rukawa Kaede firmly stuck in position, fully jumped and grabbed the rebound with one hand, Hanamichi struggled to point the basketball in his hand from behind, so that the basketball was in the air again without anyone in control, and when he was shooting the ball, Hanamichi used a little bit of caution and pointed the ball as close to his side as possible.

After the two landed, they jumped again at the same time. The height of both sides was equal. This amazing bounce speed and the second jump action scared Oda Ryuzheng who had just landed and was about to jump again!

The position of the basketball in the air was still favorable to Rukawa, so Hanamichi "repeated the old trick" and once again tapped the basketball into the air, and this time the basketball in the air was right above the two of them.

After Rukawa landed and turned around, when he was about to jump again, Hanamichi, who had already been prepared and did not need any other extra movements, had already jumped with all his strength and finally got the ball before Rukawa jumped to the highest point.

Hanamichi knew that it was extremely difficult to successfully grab the rebound. It can be said that he got it at the critical moment, and there was also a little luck involved. So when his feet landed on the ground, he was fully prepared to deal with it. His whole body was tense, exuding a strong aura of defending basketball to the death and never letting anyone take advantage of it! It was as if he was announcing to everyone: "Want to snatch this ball from me? No way!"

He held the basketball tightly in his hand, stepped heavily on the ground, held the ball tightly in his hands against his chest, and exuded a fierce breath. His eyes were firm and sharp, revealing great determination and faith. At this moment, Hanamichi was like an unshakable mountain. No matter how the opponent attacked, he would never give up control of the basketball easily.

For a moment, everyone on the court was shocked by this momentum, and they felt in their hearts: If you want to grab the basketball from this person, you must be prepared to face the beast!
