Chapter 197
But when it comes to physical talent, Murasakibara is probably the most dazzling among them.
That body proportion and the athletic ability that doesn't match his body created a monster who only needs the simplest way to destroy his opponents.
"I’m actually very happy that you are so motivated."
"However, Atsushi, you’d better keep this fighting spirit until the last moment."
The Will of Heaven smiled and looked at Murasakibara, without panic, calm enough to make people feel at ease.
At the very least, the people from Kirisaki First quickly recovered from the shock.
That’s right, speaking of monsters, whose monster is as unreasonable as ours?
6:2!
Araki Masako saw that the team could score, so she dismissed the idea of a timeout.
Offensive and defensive transition.
Taking the inbound pass from Seto Kentaro, the Will of Heaven personally brought the ball across half-court.
Now they can only play a positional game against Yosen.
His eyes looked forward, but what he saw was the trend of the entire court.
Every time he changed his movements, the future he saw would also change.
Slap~
The Will of Heaven dribbled to the top of the three-point arc; at this moment, the person blocking in front of him was not Himuro Tatsuya or Fukui Kensuke, but Murasakibara Atsushi.
"A center defending a forward?"
"A small-on-big mismatch opportunity, just handed to Kirisaki First like this?"
There is no shortage of knowledgeable spectators in the stands.
For a small forward like the Will of Heaven who is good at passing people, letting a center defend him, isn't that courting death?
"Yosen wouldn't be stupid enough not to see this point; there must be something they are relying on, Midorima?" The people from Shutoku shifted their gaze to Midorima.
"Ah, Murasakibara’s defensive range is the entire area inside the three-point line." Midorima’s expression was calm, without ripples.
If Seeing Seeing Kagami is the player with the worst compatibility with him.
Then he, Midorima, and Murasakibara have the worst compatibility.
There is no other reason; it’s simply that his shooting range far exceeds Murasakibara’s defensive range.
"However, others don't have your shooting range. For an attacker like the Will of Heaven, Murasakibara’s defensive range is simply a nightmare."
"Even if he pulls out to the three-point line, the defensive range is enough to cover the Will of Heaven’s offensive range."
The animation team also thoughtfully provided a 3D diagram.
They drew a circle with Murasakibara as the center, covering almost half of the half-court.
"However..."
"Slap~"
During the conversation, the basketball had already passed through the gaps between people.
In the moment when Okamura Kenichi and Liu Wei hadn't reacted, the ball was passed by the Will of Heaven to Seto Kentaro without anyone noticing.
He turned and went straight for a layup, not giving the opponent time to react.
"Once Murasakibara leaves the restricted area to mark the Will of Heaven, there must be a loophole in the interior." Imayoshi Shoichi shook his head. "That kind of pass exclusive to monsters cannot be stopped unless it’s the Generation of Miracles."
The team with the best defense in the country couldn't stop the opponent’s offense.
And the cause of all this was just the Will of Heaven’s eyes and passing.
"Predicting the future of the entire court."
"A pass that only the Generation of Miracles can see clearly."
"Simply an invincible existence."
Imayoshi Shoichi had always felt that Aomine was the strongest.
Now he doesn't; he began to feel that the leader of Kirisaki First was the truly strongest.
"But at least we can still score."
Araki Masako bit her lip.
Before finding a way to deal with Kirisaki First’s offensive, they could only rely on Murasakibara to keep the score close.
"Step~"
Murasakibara caught the ball and took a heavy step.
There were no high-level passing skills, only brute force.
Seto Kentaro groaned, his chest burning with pain from being pushed.
Facing such a humanoid monster, playing dirty was useless; as soon as he got close, he was pushed away, and even getting close became a problem.
"This won't stop this guy."
He was pushed back three steps by Murasakibara.
Just when people thought Murasakibara was going to clear the way physically again and then easily complete a dunk.
"Total Concentration!"
The Will of Heaven took a deep breath, like the breathing method in Demon Slayer, and had already arrived in front of Murasakibara, blocking his path.
"Bang~"
The two bodies collided in the blink of an eye; they were both moving too fast, like two sports cars colliding at full speed.
The violent collision made the audience stunned, as if the entire court was shaking.
What was even harder to accept was that the Will of Heaven actually resisted Murasakibara’s...
"Bang!"
The bodies of the Will of Heaven and Murasakibara collided with all their might under the gaze of everyone, the violent vibration leaving the live audience speechless.
This is definitely one of the most shocking scenes of this year’s Inter-High Tournament.
Two teenage geniuses collided like two mountains, and the entire court seemed to shake.
"How is that possible!?" Araki Masako stood up just as she had sat down, her mouth wide open, dumbfounded.
Although the Will of Heaven also looked very strained, with his two legs supporting the floor and his body leaning forward to resist Murasakibara, he just blocked Murasakibara!
Damn, Chang Wei?
It’s too excessive; is this the Will of Heaven’s perfect imitation?
Kise only imitates skills; he is imitating talent!
YYSY, you’re right; Aomine’s speed, Murasakibara’s strength, Midorima’s shooting, Akashi’s passing—this is too perverted!
Damn, these Six Eyes are too invincible; can it be played without a nerf?
You’re right, let’s nerf the "Blade Girl"!
The audience in the real world was also dumbfounded.
The height difference was nearly 10cm, and the weight difference was more than 10kg.
This is a decisive gap in the basketball world.
As a result, the Will of Heaven just resisted Murasakibara hard.
This is much more shocking than him using "Break" to steal the ball.
Murasakibara was also unbelievable, his eyes wide, and then he exerted force again.
Feeling the strange power coming from Murasakibara, the Will of Heaven supported the ground with his legs dead set.
How should Murasakibara’s breakthrough be understood?
You can completely treat him as a LeBron James who is 2cm taller.
That’s how James plays basketball.
Without too many techniques, when he was young, he would just take the ball and rush to the basket.
This is the purest talent crushing, with no reason at all.
As a result, he used this bulldozer-style breakthrough, coupled with a historical-level layup feel, to become the NBA’s all-time scoring leader.
Murasakibara is even more perverted than James.
It’s not because he is 2cm taller than James, nor is it to say he is stronger than James.
It’s that at the high school stage, you can't find anyone who can resist his impact.
