Chapter 219

"Weakness?!"

Tian Lizi, hearing this for the first time, immediately looked at Kuroko Tetsuya in surprise.

"If you have a weakness, you should have said so earlier..."

"No..."

"To be honest, this isn't really a weakness to begin with."

"It's just that the pace of this match was far faster than expected."

"My misdirection cannot be maintained throughout the entire game; used this frequently, the opponent will adapt, and the effect of the misdirection will gradually weaken."

Tian Lizi: "...!?"

Tian Lizi grabbed Kuroko Tetsuya by the neck and, transforming into a little fire dragon, roared irritably: "Such an important thing, you should have said it from the start!"

Tsk!

Though not much, Kuroko's misdirection is already the only ability we have to score against Izanami.

It was also my own negligence...

It would be strange if such a technique that breaks convention carried no risk when applied.

Sigh...

The pace is too fast...

Because of Yukimiya Kazuma's defense, there was no other way; the opponent kept sending Seirin's attacks back, making every round a counter-attack.

The pace naturally sped up.

The first thing to solve is Yukimiya Kazuma's super help defense!

A basketball game...

No matter how solid the defense, there cannot be no gaps; we must find the gaps!

"Pass!"

"No one can be faster than a pass!"

"When you go on the court next, Kuroko, minimize misdirection in other aspects and concentrate your ability entirely on one thing!"

"Long-distance lateral passes!"

"Long-distance lateral passes?" Everyone from Seirin felt somewhat confused upon hearing this.

"In basketball, there are long vertical passes during fast breaks, but long-distance lateral passes common in soccer are rare; do you know why?"

Hyuga Junpei: "That's naturally... because such passes are very easily intercepted."

"Correct; on a narrow court crowded with many players, it cannot work, meaning in basketball it is impossible to simply turn the ball to the other side with a single ordinary pass."

"But..."

"We Seirin have Kuroko!"

"A player who can turn the impossible into possible!"
