Chapter 220: Right from the start, Seirin's first attack changed their approach

Using Kuroko Tetsuya as the relay point, Seirin suddenly sent out a pass that nearly spanned the entire half-court!

"Got it!"

"Nice pass, Kuroko!"

Kagami Taiga received the ball at the long two-point position in the baseline corner near the sideline, and the starting point of the pass was actually the baseline corner on the opposite side!

"What!?"

Every player on Izumikan's court was startled by this pass.

On Seirin's bench, everyone cheered and punched the air!

Izuki Jun: "Got it!"

It must have completely taken Izumikan by surprise.

And the one receiving the ball was Kagami Taiga, whose release point is very high!

However…

Kagami Taiga: "!?"

Impossible…!

Why, why is this guy appearing here!?

"My apologies~ your way of responding was not beyond my expectations~"

Of course it would not be beyond Yukimiya Kazuma's expectations.

Because in Aida Riko's original work, the opening was already done in this way, attempting to break through Murasakibara's 'ultra-wide-range defense'.

Although he doesn't have Murasakibara's super-scale height of 208, nor the long legs that can catch up on defense in a single step.

On the defensive end, he also cannot enter 'Zone' to obtain 'Quake' level reflexes, to reach Murasakibara's innate reaction speed.

But…

His speed is faster than Murasakibara's; if one step won't do, he'll take two.

And he has the 'Passing Maestro' vision that Murasakibara lacks, able to survey the whole field and capture the situation on the court, even Kuroko Tetsuya's low presence.

In terms of height, he also has the buff of 'I Love Mid-Range Jumper', which can make up for the gap in height with Murasakibara.

It can be said that the gap between him and Murasakibara's 'ultra-wide-range defense' now is basically only the block-type limitation of the 'I Love' Series Badges.

And a little bit of the per-unit-time movement distance caused by leg length—after all, no matter how fast two steps are, they still can't catch up to one step that arrives in place.

"¨｀ This level of opening…"

"Two steps is enough."

A black shadow descended upon Kagami Taiga's vision, blotting out the sky!

Smack~!

"Inside the three-point line, it's all my defensive territory."

The composed Tsuchiya Dahe, seizing the moment when his opponent was stunned, quickly got the ball and launched a counterattack.

"Yukimiya…"

"It's Yukimiya's block!"

"Amazing, it's Kuroko Tetsuya appearing again out of nowhere, actually able to deliver a lateral pass of this magnitude, but still didn't fool Yukimiya—just what kind of vision does he have!"

"Tsuchiya's counterattack!"

Tsuchiya Dahe, as a 196 big man, although his one-on-one footwork is fairly nimble, running is a different story.

Very quickly, he noticed a figure had already caught up beside him!

Liang Huayin!

His speed is fast—much faster than when he remembered playing against Bai Shui Gym; this person must have gone through some grueling training after Zenkoku.

However…

Tsuchiya Dahe, leaning against Liang Huayin who was clinging to him, began his long stride from the free-throw line!

With a 'smack'.

He didn't go for a layup, but found a suitable angle and tossed the ball toward the backboard.

A black shadow followed right behind!

Bang~!

Dakou Longzhi caught the rebounding ball and slammed it into the hoop!
