Chapter 185
She rolled off the bed and secretly opened the door to look into the living room.
Her father was on a business trip, and only her mother was left at home watching a variety show; she would probably sleep at ten, and it was only about nine now.
"It's a bit early now, is ten o'clock okay?" She acted coyly and even ran to the vanity to comb her hair.
Huh?
Tiandao just felt it was inexplicable; Laozi is looking for some information from you, shouldn't the sooner the better?
"No need, I'm coming to find you now."
Before long.
Tiandao rode his bike to the entrance of Satsuki's house.
He rang the doorbell, and not long after, a mature woman who looked 70-80% like Satsuki opened the door, her hair also the color of cherry blossoms.
"May I ask who you are..."
"My name is Tiandao Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan, I'm a friend of Satsuki."
"Satsuki's boyfriend?"
"......Just a friend."
"But you're a boy."
No problem, a male friend is also a boyfriend.
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Satsuki ran out, looking angrily at her mother, clearly having heard the conversation just now.
"Xiao Tian, don't mind her, my mom is always this silly."
"You silly, stupid daughter, do you have the right to talk about others?"
Satsuki's mother exercised her parental privilege and twisted Satsuki's ear.
Satsuki begged for mercy and squeezed past her mother to bring Tiandao into her room.
In sight were a large number of pink cartoon dolls.
Tiandao wasn't surprised; girls all liked fluffy things.
Riko's room was also filled with strange-shaped dolls back then.
"What's the matter with Xiao Tian coming to find me so late?"
"I want to ask you for some information on Tatsuya Himuro."
Asking me for information again?
This was rare; didn't Xiao Tian never look at other people's information?
"Tatsuya Himuro." She touched her lips; she had a deep impression of this player.
He was a second-year student at Yosen High School, a returnee player like Seeing Seeing Kagami, who only returned to Japan this year, and was currently known as one of the Yosen twin stars alongside Murasakibara. He seemed to have an unclear relationship with Seirin's Seeing Seeing Kagami.
Satsuki searched and quickly pulled out Tatsuya Himuro's file from Yosen's database.
Tiandao took it and opened it, seeing the words "Fake to the point of being real" highlighted by Satsuki.
This referred to Tatsuya Himuro's fakes being very exquisite, capable of reaching the point of being indistinguishable from the real thing.
But it lacked key information about the Mirage Shot; did even Satsuki not understand the secret of his shot?
"Did you find the information you wanted?" Satsuki seemed very happy to be able to help Tiandao, her two legs swinging back and forth.
Tiandao explained his intention, "I'm very curious about his shot."
"Ah, so it's the Mirage Shot."
"It's a very high-level shooting technique, shooting twice in mid-air; it looks like a loophole in the rules. Does Xiao Tian want to learn this shot?"
"In fact, I've already completed most of it."
"Eh?"
Satsuki wanted to ask more, but her mother pushed the door open at this moment and brought them some snacks.
Tiandao just wanted to say thank you, but he saw black energy radiating from the exquisite snacks.
He cut it with a fork and actually saw some strange black liquid inside, so he quickly declined, "Thank you, but I don't eat at night."
Satsuki's cooking talent seemed to be inherited from her mother.
What was even more heaven-defying was that Satsuki put it in her mouth and nothing happened; her anti-poison ability was simply maxed out.
No wonder the things Satsuki made were always so strange; it turned out she had been eating the things her mother made since she was a child.
It was hard for Mr. Momoi too......
Tiandao couldn't bear the resentful gaze of Satsuki's mother and went to a nearby court with Satsuki.
"Swish!"
Tiandao showed his results, completing two shots in mid-air and hitting them.
Satsuki was stunned on the sidelines.
Such a high-difficulty shot, and Xiao Tian actually completed it on his first attempt?
"But although it's completed, it feels a bit different." Satsuki said after thinking, "Xiao Tian's Mirage Shot is completed entirely by your own talent, unlike Seeing Seeing Kagami's brother."
"That's also the reason I came to find you."
Although he relied on his outstanding talent to complete the shot, in terms of deception, it wasn't as strong as Tatsuya Himuro's.
Let's put it this way: he was able to complete the second shot because of his outstanding hang time.
In actual combat, he couldn't achieve the effect of the shot "disappearing."
"Where is the difference between my shot and his?"
"Probably..."
Satsuki tried hard to recall the footage of Yosen's matches and even imitated Tatsuya Himuro's jump shot.
Then she knew the key to the problem.
"It's the spin!"
"Tatsuya Himuro doesn't have Xiao Tian's excellent hang time; the time he can stay in the air is far less than Xiao Tian's, so for his first shot, the basketball's descent speed will be very fast."
Descent speed?
Tiandao pondered, and quickly found the train of thought, picking up the basketball again.
Seeing this, Satsuki volunteered to stand in front of Tiandao.
"I'll help Xiao Tian!"
She opened her hands in a decent manner to block Tiandao, but the next second she saw Tiandao suddenly kill his way to her front.
It seemed like he had only taken one step, and he was already in front of her.
Looking at the face that was close at hand and had no flaws, her heart jumped fiercely for no reason.
She used to watch Tiandao play from the sidelines, but today was the first time she experienced it personally; it was two completely different experiences.
Tiandao's attention was on the hoop, completing the ball gathering at an extremely fast speed.
In Satsuki's eyes, he was like an eagle spreading its wings, quickly making two shooting motions in the air and throwing the ball into the hoop.
"Swish!"
"Like this, it should be initially completed."
He mastered it very quickly because the hardware was right there.
"Th-that fast?" Satsuki didn't even have time to see it clearly; her attention was entirely on Tiandao's magnificent face.
But that was right; Xiao Tian's fingers were very strong, and he had practiced swordplay.
His moves "Unravel" and "Dissect" both had extremely high requirements for hand strength.
As long as he found the secret of the shot, he could make the basketball descend at the fastest speed, faster than Tatsuya Himuro, and the shot would be more realistic than Tatsuya Himuro's.
"And then..."
And then?
Satsuki blinked, not knowing why.
A moment later, she stood there with her mouth wide open, watching the basketball roar into the hoop like a meteor.
I don't know how much time passed.
They left the court together and sat down at a ramen stall on the side of the road.
The shopkeeper seemed to be surnamed Wei, and had a son named Wayne.
This guy was even more arrogant than him; when he asked what he wanted to eat, he didn't even look at him, his eyes fixed on the soccer match on TV, his mouth still cursing.
