Chapter 97: As soon as they came up, Seirin's first attack changed its approach
With Tetsuya Kuroko as the transfer station, Seirin suddenly passed a ball that almost traversed the entire half!
"Good!"
"Beautiful pass, Kuroko!"
Taiga Kagami got the ball at the long two-point position near the baseline corner, and the starting point of the ball was the baseline corner on the other side!
"What!?"
The players on the Quanzhen Hall court were all startled by this pass.
On the Seirin bench, everyone waved their fists excitedly!
Shun Izuki: "Good!"
It should have been completely beyond Quanzhen Hall's expectations.
And the person receiving the ball was Kagami, who had a high release point!
However...
Taiga Kagami: "!?"
Impossible...!
Why, why would this guy appear here!?
"I'm very sorry~ Your way of dealing with it didn't exceed my expectations~"
Of course, it wouldn't exceed Kazuma Yukimiya's expectations.
Because in the original work, Riko Aida used this method at the beginning, attempting to crack Murasakibara's 'Super Wide-Range Defense'.
Although he didn't have Murasakibara's super-scale height of 208, nor the long legs that could catch up to the defense in one step.
On the defensive end, he couldn't enter 'Monster Immersion' to obtain 'Startled String' level reflexes to achieve the natural reflex nerves of Murasakibara.
But...
His speed was faster than Murasakibara's. If one step didn't work, he would take two steps.
And he had the vision of a 'Pass and Control Master' that Murasakibara didn't have, which could capture the situation on the court from a global perspective, and even Tetsuya Kuroko's low presence.
In terms of height, he also had the blessing of 'I love blocking jump shots', which could compensate for the height gap with Murasakibara.
It could be said that now, the distance between him and Murasakibara's 'Super Wide-Range Defense' was basically just the block type limitation of the 'I love' series badges.
As well as a little bit of movement distance per unit time caused by leg length; after all, no matter how fast you take two steps, you can't catch up to a one-step arrival.
"¨` This level of gap..."
"Two steps are enough."
A black shadow attacked from in front of Taiga Kagami, covering the sky and the sun!
Slap~!
"Inside the three-point line, it's all my defensive zone."
The calm Dahe Tsuchiya, taking advantage of the opponent's daze, quickly got (Wang Nuo's) the ball and launched a counterattack.
"Yukimiya..."
"It's Yukimiya's block!"
"Too amazing, it's Tetsuya Kuroko appearing suddenly again. To be able to pass such a magnitude of lateral adjustment, but it still didn't deceive Yukimiya. What exactly is his vision like!"
"Tsuchiya's counterattack!"
Dahe Tsuchiya, as a 196 big man, although his one-on-one footwork and such were quite flexible, running was another matter.
Soon, he found that there were figures chasing up behind him, crazy!
Ryo Hanakage!
The speed is very fast, much faster than when he played against Baishui Hall in his impression. This person must have gone through some hard training after the All-Middle School.
However...
Dahe Tsuchiya leaned against Ryo Hanakage, who was entangled with him, and began to take big strides from the free-throw line!
With a 'slap'.
He didn't lay up, but found a suitable angle and threw the ball towards the backboard.
A black shadow followed closely behind!
Clang~!
Ryuji Oguchi received the rebounded ball and pressed it into the basket!.
Near Quanzhen Hall, a bicycle pulling a trailer was driving on the street. However, compared to the pedestrians on the street, those two trailer boys wearing school uniforms and messing around with rock-paper-scissors in front of the traffic light were very conspicuous.
After all, one of them was wearing glasses, was 195cm tall, and had conspicuous green hair, which matched the green light that had just jumped up from the traffic light in the distance, a perfect timing match.
"I said it, today's Cancer fortune is excellent, it's impossible for me to lose."
"I don't believe it!"
"It must just be bad luck. Wait for a red light, let's do it again. This time I will definitely let you, Shin-chan, carry me!"
"Hmph!"
"Fine, Cancer-me, today..."
Shintaro Midorima made his move confidently, throwing out scissors, but was met by Kazunari Takao's rock.
Not only was Midorima stunned, but even Kazunari Takao, who had been carrying Midorima all the way through consecutive defeats, was also dumbfounded. However, soon, he let out a cheer.
"I won, Shin-chan!"
"It's your turn to ride~"
Shintaro Midorima looked at Kazunari Takao with a solemn expression, "Are you... sure you are Scorpio, not Gemini..."
Before he could finish his words, the small trailer suddenly sank, and even made a dangerous 'creak' sound, followed by a figure appearing beside Midorima.
Midorima looked back and raised his eyebrows knowingly.
Sure enough...
Gemini.
Ryota Kise.
"Kise, I knew it was you."
Kazunari Takao heard the strange noise coming from behind, and at the same time felt 690 that the bicycle was much heavier to pedal. He turned his head and saw a blond figure sitting on the trailer behind with Midorima.
"You are?"
"Ryota Kise?"
"No wonder I couldn't pedal, I thought I stepped on a rock..."
Ryota Kise turned around and greeted enthusiastically, "Hello, I'm Shin-chan's teammate from middle school, Ryota Kise~"
Kazunari Takao naturally knew who he was, but it seemed that the other party had forgotten him. The defeat in the battle against Teiko during the middle school era certainly couldn't be called a game worth remembering for Teiko.
However...
"Shin-chan?"
Kazunari Takao was soon distracted by the name Ryota Kise used. After all, the 'Shin-chan' in the other party's mouth had the same effect as his name for Midorima.
"Shin-chan~"
"The Generation of Miracles calls you Shin-chan~"
Ryota Kise's eyes lit up: "You call Midorima Shin-chan?"
Kazunari Takao smiled and said: "We are in the same grade, in the same class, sitting in front and behind each other, and we are teammates in the basketball club. If I call him Midorima, wouldn't it seem like our relationship is very bad?"
"Calling him Shintaro would seem very old-fashioned, but Shin-chan is different, right?"
Ryota Kise patted Midorima beside him, "You made me worry for nothing. Isn't this making friends very quickly~"
Midorima's eyes flickered, "I said it, you are not allowed to call me that, Kise... both of you!"
"Okay, Shin-chan."
"Okay, Shin-chan."
Ryota Kise and Kazunari Takao answered at the same time. After the words were spoken, they looked at each other and were slightly stunned. In the eye contact, they quickly read the other's eyes:
You also know that Midorima is a tsundere, right?
"Hey~"
"Didn't Shin-chan say he wouldn't come to watch the game between Yukimiya and Kuroko?"
"And he came in the end~?"
Midorima's expression was a bit unnatural, and then Kise added, "I didn't just call you, I also called Aomine, um... although I didn't get in touch, Momoi answered the phone in the end."
"Maybe we can see Aomine today."
Midorima raised his eyebrows, "Aomine is fine, after all, Touou is also in the Tokyo district. But aren't you guys from Kaijo in Kanagawa? Why did you run here specially?"
Kise hummed upon hearing this, dissatisfied: "Because I'm not convinced! Obviously, the training match was scheduled with us Kaijo first. I don't know why it was suddenly changed to Yukimiya's Quanzhen Hall."
"It completely broke my plan to recruit Kuroko."
"And..."
"Does Seirin think I'm not as good as Yukimiya?!"
Midorima pushed his glasses. Although they were teammates at Teiko and both carried the title of 'Generation of Miracles', Midorima's thoughts were actually the same as Seirin's.
Kise, who only started playing basketball in the second year of middle school, was a genius, there was no doubt about that. But if he had to choose between Kaijo and Quanzhen Hall for a training match, he would also choose Quanzhen Hall.
Not because of any Western Champion.
Simply because of Kazuma Yukimiya.
Just then, suddenly a crack!
The not-so-sturdy trailer, because it couldn't bear the weight of two people, the wooden board used for carrying things on the car suddenly cracked (caaj) a seam.
"Meeting Gemini, there really is no good thing."
Between old teammates, Kise easily understood Midorima's words, "Eh? Is the morning fortune telling accurate today? What is the lucky item?"
Midorima said seriously: "Each constellation is of course different, I only paid attention to..."
"Shin-chan's today is a weather doll~"
Midorima's words were interrupted by Kazunari Takao, and his face turned black.
"Oh~"
"It's that one."
"I seem to have an impression from the Teiko days. As expected, you still use it repeatedly, Shin-chan."
"..."
The car couldn't be repaired for the time being. Kise and Midorima sat on both sides of the small trailer, and were pulled forward by Kazunari Takao riding the bicycle.
At this time, Kazunari Takao had already started chatting with Ryota Kise.
"When we played against Teiko before, you beat us very badly, especially Shin-chan, he was the heaviest hitter, three-pointers were 100% accurate..."
"Later, I kept training hard, wanting to win against him, but I didn't expect that we would end up in the same school."
"Since that's the case..."
"Continuing to hold the previous idea loses its meaning. Plus we are in the same class, we slowly became friends."
The familiar Takao and the familiar Kise soon started chatting. Midorima didn't want to join them and kept fiddling with the weather doll at hand until Ryota Kise cued him.
"By the way, didn't Shin-chan lose just now?"
"Why is Takao still riding?"
Kazunari Takao was slightly startled upon hearing this.
"Because Kise-kun..."
"You came over suddenly, making me forget about the rock-paper-scissors just now. But... Shin-chan must have done it on purpose, right? Not reminding me and trying to muddle through?"
Shintaro Midorima: "There are three people now."
Kise understood Midorima's meaning and said eagerly: "It doesn't matter, let's play rock-paper-scissors. The loser will ride all the way to Quanzhen Hall~"
I have to say.
The morning fortune telling that Midorima often listens to still has something to it.
Like now.
After the three of them played rock-paper-scissors.
The coachman in front became Midorima with an ugly face.
"Don't push, Satsuki, we're already at Quanzhen Hall, I'll walk myself!"
"This is the school that Kazuma Yukimiya joined, and today there will be a training match with Tetsu-kun's Seirin. Hurry up, don't miss it."
"By the way..."
"I heard from Kise that Midorima will also come. We haven't seen each other for a long time~"
Inside the Quanzhen Hall campus, Momoi Satsuki said while pushing Daiki Aomine.
Aomine frowned and said: "Who wants to see them..."
Although he said so, Aomine still stepped into the Quanzhen Hall gymnasium with an unhappy face, and the scene that happened next made him instantly energetic.
"Aomine, won't you let me in?"
Momoi passed Aomine, who was frozen there, and took a look into the gymnasium.
Momoi Satsuki: "!?"
