Remember, the person you are facing today is an ordinary opponent; he is not your younger brother, understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Araki Masako was really afraid that his temper would flare up and he would insist on fighting the Will of Heaven to the death.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This is not the way a smart person would act; that freak from Kirisaki First should be left for Murasakibara to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Soon, as the referee brought the ball onto the court, the game began.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The two sides stood opposite each other across the Chu-Han boundary; in terms of height, Kirisaki First was already a head shorter.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Himuro Tatsuya kept staring at the Will of Heaven during this process; he clearly didn't take the coach’s words to heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Withdraw your gaze; no lion can tolerate the provocation of a hyena.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Himuro Tatsuya’s face turned cold upon hearing this, and he said, \"I will make you take back what you said.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You got one thing wrong. What you should be doing now is making me remember your name, mortal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>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?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Beep~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With a whistle, the ball was thrown high into the air by the referee.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This time, Murasakibara didn't make a mistake; it should be that Araki Masako had emphasized it before the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He won the tip-off with a crushing posture; that iron-tower-like body had the jumping ability of a jet plane.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>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?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The ball fell into the hands of Fukui Kensuke, who controlled the ball and then made a gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That was the tactic Yosen was prepared to play.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Before his arm was fully raised, a white light cut through the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Nani?!\" Fukui Kensuke was shocked; it was too late to control the ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Will of Heaven’s hand stabbed out like a spear, precise and fatal, instantly \"stabbing\" the ball away.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Slap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The ball was stolen by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Damn it, don't just stand there, everyone get back on defense!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But how could these clumsy guys catch up to the extreme speed of the Will of Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With a \"whoosh,\" the Will of Heaven crashed into the Yosen restricted area like a comet.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Before the game, people had discussed how long it would take for Kirisaki First to break Yosen’s iron-wall defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Now the answer was out.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It only took Kirisaki First 3 seconds to break Yosen’s absolute defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Fast to the point of being unbelievable!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Araki Masako’s expression was not very good.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But she hadn't thought that the lineup and defensive deployment she had carefully crafted would be torn open so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The rhythm of the opening was already deviating from her expectations; this was not a good thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She silently recited the name of the Will of Heaven, \"The Generation of Miracles’ Will of Heaven Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She had never played a game like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Yosen players looked at the Kirisaki First number 14, their eyes as if they were looking at a monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That calm and composed retreat, like an old lady walking in the park, seemed to be saying to them, \"Absolute defense, is that it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That guy... saw through our actions from the moment Murasakibara jumped for the ball!\" Fukui Kensuke gritted his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In just 3 seconds, Yosen’s absolute defense was broken by Kirisaki First.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This is something that seems very incredible to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>You have to know that Yosen has shut out opponents countless times along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Absolute defense is deeply rooted in people’s hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Will of Heaven, on the contrary, felt that their shutting out of opponents was even more magical.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>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?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It shouldn't be to the point of being shut out.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But no.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The reason is Murasakibara’s super-large defensive range, which allows Yosen to expand its defensive line to the three-point line.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>No matter from which angle you look at it, Yosen’s defense is perfect, without flaws.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But such a Yosen was broken so easily by Kirisaki First, which really exceeded people’s expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Does it mean that in front of those eyes, nothing is perfect?\" Many people swallowed their saliva.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Will of Heaven’s ability is no longer a secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But even so, there is still no way to deal with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On the court.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Fukui Kensuke dribbled the ball across half-court.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The opening raid should be Kirisaki First’s tactic to give them a warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>These four words carry too much weight!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As long as the ball is sent to the restricted area, Yosen is almost guaranteed to score.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Their advantage is too obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But how to get the ball into the restricted area is a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Still the same sentence, that person.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Will of Heaven just standing there caused him huge pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"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.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was in the direction of Okamura Kenichi, and countless people cheered for his beautiful pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Slap~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Heh, thinking you’re clever. How could such a long-distance cross-pass escape my interception?\" Hanamiya Makoto laughed heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yosen’s tactical style, including Fukui Kensuke’s information, was all in his brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Fukui Kensuke’s passing choices seemed many.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"After all, Yosen’s three tall men can't crowd together!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"So amazing, Kirisaki First.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>PS: My head is throbbing.
