Chapter 277: He Knows

Even a clay figure has a temper; if it were Tiandao, he would have gone up to beat Hanamiya Makoto long ago.

Seirin's people didn't, shouting about winning fairly to avenge Teppei, letting Hanamiya Makoto taunt them.

And Tiandao, after receiving Hanamiya Makoto's pass, gave the ball to Yamazaki Hiroshi again for a mid-range shot.

Now Aida Riko didn't have to worry about the team's confidence; almost all the players were angered by Hanamiya Makoto.

Seirin's fast-break tactic was broken, and they had no choice but to fall into positional warfare with Kirisaki Daiichi.

Dealing with a fast-paced team like Seirin, reducing offensive possessions and lowering the game tempo would be quite effective.

Seirin obviously wasn't very accustomed to this kind of brawl.

They were entangled by Kirisaki Daiichi's bad boys and felt very uncomfortable.

They could always use subtle, soul-stirring small movements when the referee wasn't paying attention, disrupting Seirin's rhythm.

Seeing that the shot clock was about to run out, Kuroko stepped forward again.

Kirisaki Daiichi's people could only watch helplessly as the basketball that was originally flying towards Kagami changed direction and flew into the restricted area.

Mitobe Rinnosuke was silent but very reliable, turning around and hitting the backboard to get the team's first point.

4:2!

"Tch, another one of those acrobatic passes." Hara Kazuya had no good way to deal with this.

They had already deliberately kept an eye on their defenders, but they were still caught off guard by this unexpected pass.

"Your teammate is really amazing, Atsushi." Himuro Tatsuya stared at Kuroko with burning eyes.

On the screen, Kuroko's presence was undoubtedly revealed.

But on the court, people always found it hard to discover his existence.

When he first learned about Kuroko from Murasakibara, he felt like he was listening to a heavenly book.

The court is only that big, how could it be impossible to discover his existence?

But seeing is believing; Kuroko's existence was truly like a shadow, lurking in every corner of the court, ready to give the opponent a fatal blow at any time.

"No matter how amazing, it's useless against Tian-zai."

"Eh? What do you mean? Why is it useless?"

"Tian-zai's eyes can see everything."

Eyes?

Is it simply outstanding dynamic vision? Or is it some other ability?

What about Murasakibara?

He turned into a riddle-maker, speaking only half of what he meant and continuing to eat snacks, not caring how uncomfortable his teammates were.

Transition from offense to defense.

Tiandao continued to lower the game tempo.

Hanamiya Makoto followed suit, slowly dribbling the ball across the half-court, thinking in his mind how to orchestrate this offense.

The so-called slowing down of the game's offensive tempo is not simply about stalling for time.

Hitting the shooting percentage and not giving the opponent a chance for fast-break counterattacks is the core element.

As a result, the next second.

A blue figure killed out from his right side, tapped with one hand, and the basketball was swatted away.

"Nani?"

Hanamiya Makoto, who had just finished taunting, was suddenly shocked.

"You guy."

Only then did he notice Kuroko, who had actually arrived beside him without anyone knowing.

"Your presence is so thin, are you a ghost?" Hanamiya Makoto's expression became ugly.

He is the type of personality who will go crazy if things don't go in the direction he expected.

"Beautiful, Kuroko!" Aida Riko jumped up, waving her fists.

She was just worrying about how to break Kirisaki Daiichi's slow tempo.

Basketball games are like this; if you are a fast-paced team, you must speed up the tempo to win.

Because once a player is good at a tactic, they will instinctively adapt to that game tempo, and gradually, they will only be able to play in their best state within that tempo.

This is actually the essence of basketball tactics.

Those clever head coaches can always keep their team at the best tempo.

Of course, except for superstars; superstars can adapt to any tempo.

"Swish!"

Izuki Shun grabbed the basketball first, and Seirin immediately launched a fast break.

He didn't blindly look for Kagami, as he was being guarded very tightly by Tiandao.

Izuki Shun chose to give the ball to his old partner Hyuga Junpei, and the Seirin captain shot and scored, hitting a three-pointer over Yamazaki Hiroshi's defense. ===== CHAPTER 279 =====
