Chapter 259: The match, with the referee's whistle sounding again and again, the degree of perceptual disjointedness in watching the

"Is it a little strange…"

"Indeed."

"Although Kirisaki Daiichi has committed a lot of fouls, it doesn't seem like anything's happened on Senjitsukan's side, and judging by their expressions, why does it even feel a bit…"

"Mocking?"

"Yeah, that's the feeling."

Many of the spectators actually already had the answer in their hearts, but everyone tacitly refrained from saying it out loud.

After all, seeing Kirisaki Daiichi get the short end of the stick was something most people were happy to watch.

Then, very quickly.

With their petty tricks yielding no results and the point gap growing ever wider, Kirisaki Daiichi could no longer sit still.

They suddenly called a timeout.

Yukimiya Kazuma noticed the situation on Kirisaki Daiichi's side—that lazy-looking Seto Kentaro, who hadn't played in the first quarter, was slowly rising from the bench on the sideline.

"Finally going in?"

In other words, Miyama Already felt that he had fully analyzed our offensive patterns, hadn't he?

Heh~

Yukimiya Kazuma couldn't help but let out a cold laugh deep down.

Senjitsukan's bench.

Long Tian Zhang looked toward Kirisaki Daiichi's side, and because he hadn't been able to learn Tsuchiya's foul-drawing like the others, his face was twisted in discomfort at this moment.

The outlet for venting was, naturally, still Kirisaki Daiichi. He turned his head to look at the bench on the other side and said with an indignant snort, "Tch! Just like Yukimiya said, he's both player and manager himself—how arrogant!"

Yukimiya Kazuma wasn't particularly surprised by this.

After all, during the Generation of Miracles' third year, it was much the same situation—Akashi had completely sidelined that successor, Midorima Kozo.

The timeout ended, and players from both sides took the court.

Kirisaki Daiichi's center Matsumoto Itsuki came off, and the player who came on was none other than number 5, Seto Kentaro—the high-IQ talent whose number was second only to Miyama's, the one who could assist Miyama in completing the 100% 'Spider Web.'

Not long after.

Kirisaki Daiichi's shot was blocked by Yukimiya Kazuma's 'Ultra-Wide-Range Defense,' and He Xiuyang got possession.

Senjitsukan launched a counterattack without delay.

The pace of advance was very fast.

He Xiuyang passed the ball, targeting Long Tian Zhang who was cutting straight down the sideline into the paint, but at that very moment, Miyama suddenly rushed out and easily intercepted the ball!

Long Tian Zhang, who had been about to receive the pass for a flashy dunk, couldn't help but freeze for a moment when he turned his head.

Huh?

He Xiuyang, who had switched to point guard, had always ignored everything else in his passing and only pursued stability—how could he have been stripped by Miyama?

The 'Spider Web' Yukimiya mentioned?

Miyama's steal was extremely fluid, as if he knew the instant he reached out that it would succeed, and he immediately followed up by linking into the counterattack.

Taking advantage of the chance when Senjitsukan's counterattack was countered by another counterattack.

Miyama scored two points.

He Xiuyang frowned, and seeing this, Long Tian Zhang swaggered over. "No worries, pass it to me again next play, I've already got the dunk move all figured out ｀ ‖."

"Got it."

But on the next offensive possession.

*Smack*—!

This time, the one stripped of the ball was Long Tian Zhang, whose face was filled with awkwardness.

"What's going on?"

"After Kirisaki Daiichi subbed in number 5, they've stolen two passes in a row!"

"The previous matches were just like this…"

"Once number 5 came on, all of the opponents' passes got intercepted."

Yukimiya Kazuma looked at Miyama. He had to admit, as one of the Five Generals, this guy's ability had something to it—from the perspective and experience of a 'Master of Passing and Control.'

Miyama had indeed seen through Senjitsukan's offensive patterns. These offensive patterns included the attacking runs of Senjitsukan's players, their passing and receiving habits, and many other details—the sheer volume of information his brain had to process was hard to imagine.

And passing.

Was one pass, one catch.

With the passing-and-receiving phase fully seen through by Miyama and traps meticulously woven throughout, even if Yukimiya Kazuma could break through the limitations of the 'pass,' he might not be able to safely get the ball through.

After all, no matter how brilliantly you pass.

If the catching phase is completely read, there's nothing you can do.

In a sense, when it came to intercepting passes, Miyama might even be stronger than Akashi's Emperor Eye.

After all, the Emperor Eye completed the steal in advance by 'seeing' the passer's future, whereas Miyama's 'Spider Web' thoroughly analyzed the offensive patterns of everyone on the court and intercepted passes across the entire floor.

Beyond the comprehensive breakdown of Senjitsukan in the first quarter, the one who enabled him to reach such a level was equally important: number 5 Seto Kentaro, who closely followed Miyama's rhythm and helped him cut off other passing lanes.

This person seemed to be in perfect sync with Miyama, clearly knowing the other's thoughts, and every time he would coordinate with Miyama's setup, positioning himself where the opponent could not reach.

Truly worthy of a guy with an IQ of 160.

Although he couldn't compare to Miyama, who led the steals…

Without Seto's coordination, Miyama couldn't have completed a 'Spider Web' of this caliber either.
