Chapter 194
In the pre-game mobilization session, Araki Masako didn't talk about tactics; she had already finished talking about what needed to be said a day ago.
Now she had to ensure that every player could perform normally or even exceed their level today.
"I have no problem, Coach." Himuro Tatsuya took a deep breath.
Just now he had indeed lost his composure; being so embarrassed in front of his younger brother almost caused his Dao heart to shatter.
Facts have proven that it is best not to provoke creatures like "brother-cons."
"That’s good. Remember, the person you are facing today is an ordinary opponent; he is not your younger brother, understand?"
Araki Masako was really afraid that his temper would flare up and he would insist on fighting the Will of Heaven to the death.
This is not the way a smart person would act; that freak from Kirisaki First should be left for Murasakibara to deal with.
Soon, as the referee brought the ball onto the court, the game began.
The two sides stood opposite each other across the Chu-Han boundary; in terms of height, Kirisaki First was already a head shorter.
Himuro Tatsuya kept staring at the Will of Heaven during this process; he clearly didn't take the coach’s words to heart.
"Withdraw your gaze; no lion can tolerate the provocation of a hyena."
Himuro Tatsuya’s face turned cold upon hearing this, and he said, "I will make you take back what you said."
"You got one thing wrong. What you should be doing now is making me remember your name, mortal."
The Will of Heaven had never lost a verbal battle; he was a "Keyboard Immortal" of the land, after all. How could a little brat in his teens fight him?
"Beep~"
With a whistle, the ball was thrown high into the air by the referee.
This time, Murasakibara didn't make a mistake; it should be that Araki Masako had emphasized it before the game.
He won the tip-off with a crushing posture; that iron-tower-like body had the jumping ability of a jet plane.
Seto Kentaro had no way at all; he had just jumped when the ball was swatted away by Murasakibara. What’s the point of competing?
The ball fell into the hands of Fukui Kensuke, who controlled the ball and then made a gesture.
That was the tactic Yosen was prepared to play.
However...
Before his arm was fully raised, a white light cut through the crowd.
"Nani?!" Fukui Kensuke was shocked; it was too late to control the ball.
The Will of Heaven’s hand stabbed out like a spear, precise and fatal, instantly "stabbing" the ball away.
"Slap!"
The ball was stolen by him.
"Damn it, don't just stand there, everyone get back on defense!"
Araki Masako shouted from the sidelines, and the Yosen players woke up as if from a dream; they, who were originally running to the frontcourt, immediately turned around to defend.
But how could these clumsy guys catch up to the extreme speed of the Will of Heaven.
With a "whoosh," the Will of Heaven crashed into the Yosen restricted area like a comet.
Then, as the hoop let out a wail, with a "boom," the ball was slammed into the hoop by the Will of Heaven with one hand.
Before the game, people had discussed how long it would take for Kirisaki First to break Yosen’s iron-wall defense.
Now the answer was out.
It only took Kirisaki First 3 seconds to break Yosen’s absolute defense.
Fast to the point of being unbelievable!
Araki Masako’s expression was not very good.
It wasn't that she was upset about not being able to shut out Kirisaki First; in fact, she had never thought about being able to shut out Kirisaki First.
But she hadn't thought that the lineup and defensive deployment she had carefully crafted would be torn open so easily.
It should have been them winning the tip-off and then scoring a goal naturally, but instead, they were the ones to have the record opened against them.
The rhythm of the opening was already deviating from her expectations; this was not a good thing.
She silently recited the name of the Will of Heaven, "The Generation of Miracles’ Will of Heaven Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan!"
She had never played a game like this.
The Yosen players looked at the Kirisaki First number 14, their eyes as if they were looking at a monster.
That calm and composed retreat, like an old lady walking in the park, seemed to be saying to them, "Absolute defense, is that it?"
"That guy... saw through our actions from the moment Murasakibara jumped for the ball!" Fukui Kensuke gritted his teeth.
In just 3 seconds, Yosen’s absolute defense was broken by Kirisaki First.
This is something that seems very incredible to others.
You have to know that Yosen has shut out opponents countless times along the way.
Absolute defense is deeply rooted in people’s hearts.
The Will of Heaven, on the contrary, felt that their shutting out of opponents was even more magical.
Even if you can't get into Yosen’s restricted area and just throw blindly from the three-point line, you should be able to fluke one or two in, right?
It shouldn't be to the point of being shut out.
But no.
The reason is Murasakibara’s super-large defensive range, which allows Yosen to expand its defensive line to the three-point line.
Murasakibara guards the restricted area alone, and the other four press up to the three-point line, almost blocking all of the opponent’s offensive routes.
No matter from which angle you look at it, Yosen’s defense is perfect, without flaws.
But such a Yosen was broken so easily by Kirisaki First, which really exceeded people’s expectations.
"Does it mean that in front of those eyes, nothing is perfect?" Many people swallowed their saliva.
The Will of Heaven’s ability is no longer a secret.
But even so, there is still no way to deal with him.
He can see the future trend of the entire court, coupled with explosive stats, making it impossible for people to find a way to limit him.
On the court.
Fukui Kensuke dribbled the ball across half-court.
The opening raid should be Kirisaki First’s tactic to give them a warning.
However, even knowing this, Fukui Kensuke still had to be cautious. All because their opponent today had a person named Will of Heaven Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan.
These four words carry too much weight!
He looked toward the basket, where 3 big guys over 2 meters tall were gathered together; that scene was second only to Tang Bohu’s seven wives hanging themselves together.
As long as the ball is sent to the restricted area, Yosen is almost guaranteed to score.
Their advantage is too obvious.
But how to get the ball into the restricted area is a problem.
Still the same sentence, that person.
The Will of Heaven just standing there caused him huge pressure.
"He can see everyone’s future; how should this be handled?" Fukui Kensuke didn't act rashly, trying his best to keep a distance from the Will of Heaven to ensure the safety of the pass.
The Will of Heaven followed as he wished; Fukui Kensuke seemed to see an opportunity, grabbed the timing, pointed east and attacked west, and threw the ball hard.
It was in the direction of Okamura Kenichi, and countless people cheered for his beautiful pass.
However.
"Slap~"
"Heh, thinking you’re clever. How could such a long-distance cross-pass escape my interception?" Hanamiya Makoto laughed heartily.
Yosen’s tactical style, including Fukui Kensuke’s information, was all in his brain.
Fukui Kensuke’s passing choices seemed many.
But as he pulled the Will of Heaven away to ensure the stability of the pass, Yosen’s remaining passing choices actually only left one.
"After all, Yosen’s three tall men can't crowd together!"
"So amazing, Kirisaki First."
"That’s right. Hanamiya Makoto was originally a player at the level of the Uncrowned Kings; the spider-web defense he formed can destroy most of the opponent’s passing lines."
"Coupled with the Will of Heaven Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan covering for him and attracting most of the attention, Hanamiya Makoto can almost completely lock down Yosen’s passing routes."
