Chapter 13

~5 min read 973 words

The game continued.

The score on the court became 26:16, with the first-years chasing 4 points in a row thanks to two counterattacks.

Yuta Yamanaka received the ball from his teammate and brought it across the half-court himself.

Until now, he still couldn't believe that he had been stolen from twice in a row by a rookie.

The key was that he couldn't even see how he was stolen from.

Seeing that the head coach's attention was also attracted here, he had even less reason to retreat.

With the third-year seniors moving on to high school, his ambition this year was not small; he vowed to become a starter for Teikou, not a substitute.

At such an important moment, he certainly couldn't become a stepping stone for a first-year.

"Boom boom boom~"

He slowly dribbled the ball to the top of the three-point arc and waved for his teammates to spread out.

This was the rhythm of a one-on-one.

Then, he focused his mind and lowered his center of gravity to the position most suitable for an explosion.

The next second, without waiting for Tiandao Jingyan to react, he started directly.

This was a typical one-trick-pony player.

Through two exchanges, Tiandao Jingyan had already judged why this player with super explosive power couldn't become a starter.

He relied too much on his explosive power, always attempting to shake off the defender in one step and then rushing to the paint to finish.

When encountering someone with slow speed, it was indeed easy to beat them up with this move.

But Tiandao Jingyan was clearly not that kind of turtle.

What's more...

"Dismantle!"

Accompanied by a low shout, the basketball in Yuta Yamanaka's hand hit the floor hard and bounced up.

His dribble was cut off by Tiandao Jingyan once again.

Fast as lightning; he didn't even know when it was cut off.

"Again!"

Yuta Yamanaka gritted his teeth; although he passed Tiandao Jingyan with one acceleration step, the key basketball was left behind.

Kozo Shirogane also widened his eyes slightly.

Even from the sidelines, he couldn't see Tiandao Jingyan's move clearly.

Like a sword draw, fast, accurate, and ruthless; the moment the sword left the sheath, the outcome was already decided.

By the time the opponent reacted, their vitality had already been stripped away.

"Boom!"

The basketball was cut down by Tiandao Jingyan's hand-blade and hit the floor heavily.

"Your dribbling focus is too much on your right hand, senior!"

Tiandao Jingyan left this sentence and picked up the bouncing basketball to rush out the next second.

In this world, most people are born with a dominant hand; only a very few are natural "two-sword style" players, including professional players.

But professional players will practice hard to make both hands as flexible as possible. If they don't do this, their breakthrough intentions will be extremely obvious.

While speaking, Tiandao Jingyan had already rushed across the half-court in one breath.

His speed was very fast; at least among the freshmen, it was outstanding.

Kozo Shirogane only heard a "whoosh," and then Tiandao Jingyan killed his way into the enemy's territory.

From Tiandao Jingyan's steal just now to the counterattack, Kozo Shirogane could determine that this first-year handsome guy was definitely a genius.

That kind of dynamic vision and explosive speed could be called top-tier among all the junior high students he had ever seen.

Good guy, opened an SSR from a blind box?

No sooner said than done.

Tiandao Jingyan killed his way into the enemy's territory in a few breaths.

However, the second-string team's defensive retreat speed was fast; having been hit by two counterattacks in a row, they were also prepared.

"I won't let you pass, first-year!"

The senior in front of him didn't know if he was a second-year or a third-year.

His defensive method was to roar first to scare the newcomer.

Tiandao Jingyan was already how old; how could he be scared by a little kid?

"I didn't intend to pass either!"

Tiandao Jingyan immediately slowed down and turned his back to lean on him.

This lean directly prevented the defender from getting close to him.

But Tiandao Jingyan's performance wasn't over yet. The moment he leaned on the defender, he immediately jumped up with the force, turned in mid-air, and raised his hands above his head, his two legs swinging gently.

This was clearly a classic fadeaway jumper!

At this time, the second-string player defending Tiandao Jingyan was powerless to save the situation, unable to even interfere, and could only watch as Tiandao Jingyan threw the basketball out with an extremely elegant posture.

"Damn it, still can't do it..."

Clang!

"Ah?"

The second-string senior who was still feeling hopeless a second ago suddenly heard this crisp sound of hitting the iron and instantly came back to life.

Turning his head to look, sure enough, the basketball Tiandao Jingyan threw hit the rim solidly.

'What a great iron-hitting performance!'

'It appeared, a disciple of Kobe!'

'This crisp sound of hitting the iron is still so beautiful...'

'Your shooting posture is indeed handsome, but the way you hit the iron is really pathetic!'

'Hahahaha, heaven is indeed fair!'

The comments also began to revel at this time, having the same effect as Hanamichi Sakuragi's slow-motion dunk, only for his head to hit the backboard.

This contrast was too fun; a second ago, Tiandao Jingyan was still torturing the second-string senior, with three consecutive steals, forcing the opponent to the verge of collapse.

But in the end, he was still a Kobe!

Seeing Tiandao Jingyan's smiling face suddenly freeze on the spot, the comments laughed until they were almost choking.

Kozo Shirogane was also almost choked by this strong contrast.

But he quickly adjusted.

Hitting the iron is hitting the iron; with that kind of talent, what more do you want?
