Yamamoto Ichita jumped almost at the same time, pushing off with his toes as his body rose into the air.
But the soft sound of his takeoff was instantly swallowed by the deep, powerful boom of Uozumi's leap.
Thus, to everyone's ears, at the instant they jumped, it seemed there was only one sound. Uozumi rose at an astonishing speed, like an enraged giant beast charging straight into the sky.
While Yamamoto Yitai was still desperately stretching out his arm, his fingertips still some distance from the ball, Uozumi's palm had already firmly slapped the basketball away. The gap between their fingertips was nearly half an arm's length!
What?
When Yamamoto Yitai saw this, his eyes nearly bulged out, and his entire face froze.
He had never expected Uozumi's explosiveness to be so terrifying!
A flush of humiliation surged onto his cheeks, and his face instantly turned livid.
With a flick of his wrist, Uozumi cleanly tipped the ball behind him. The movement was crisp and decisive. Uekusa Tomoyuki caught it steadily, spun around, and charged forward like a gust of wind skimming the ground, heading straight for Kawanohe's half court!
The Kawanohe players immediately went on alert, quickly tightening their defense. The Kawanohe captain shifted sideways, using his footwork to cut off the lane as he met Uekusa Zhizhi at once, trying to stop the fast break.
But in the next instant, Uekusa Zhizhi did not hesitate in the slightest. He pressed his wrist down and slammed the basketball hard into the floor.
With a sharp crack, the ball shot up from the floor like a cannonball, flying precisely toward Sendoh, who had already started his run along the wing.
The moment Sendoh caught the ball, his feet surged forward like the wind. He was like an arrow loosed
