In the 181st episode, he not only saved the ball from going out of bounds, but also happened to be standing less than a meter from the three-point line.
Everyone knew that Jin Soichiro was Kanagawa's top-tier three-point sharpshooter.
Standing within his familiar range now, he was practically guaranteed to score.
More importantly, allowing the opponent to hit a three-pointer right at the start would also affect the team's morale.
Naturally, no one on Ryonan wanted to see that happen.
Sure enough, Jin Soichiro did not hesitate. He bent his knees and jumped, aiming at Ryonan's basket as he assumed a shooting posture.
Not good!
The Ryonan players' hearts sank at the sight.
Naturally, no one on Ryonan wanted to see that happen.
However, just as the Ryonan players began to worry and the Hainan players felt the shot was in the bag, a tall figure in white suddenly charged out from diagonally behind, like a moving iron tower abruptly blocking Jin Soichiro's path.
Jin Soichiro's vision went dark. His shooting motion froze, and his pupils shrank to pinpoints.
The one who had arrived was Yu Zhu, who had already gotten back on defense.
When did he get here?
Jin Soichiro was confused. He could not understand how Yu Zhu had returned on defense so quickly, but he had already drawn the bow and had no choice but to loose the arrow.
The basketball had already left his palm and flew toward Ryonan's basket.
But in the next instant, Yu Zhu swung his arm wide. His bronze-colored arm cut through the air with a roar and slammed heavily into the basketball.
This block came without the slightest hesitation, carrying enough force to instantly alter the ball's direction and send it crashing toward the floor like a kite with its string
