Chapter 501

What was even more fatal was that Satsuki had completely seen through Seirin.

Including Kuroko's Misdirection.

She had studied it for a whole summer and finally found the weakness of Misdirection.

"Stare at Seirin's number 11 face-to-face?"

In the animation, Too recalled the pre-match preparation, and Satsuki clearly told them the way to defend against Kuroko.

"That kind of thing, if it could be done, it would have been done long ago."

"Even if you focus your attention on marking him, he will eventually suddenly disappear again and run off to who knows where."

The expressions of the Too players were full of helplessness.

Satsuki said, "That's exactly it; this characteristic of making people unable to find him if they are slightly inattentive is exactly little Kuro's trait."

"However, he won't really disappear in the match; usually, he just relies on an unusually inconspicuous shadow to make it hard for people to notice. Precisely because everyone cares too much, the line of sight is more easily induced; the more deliberately you stare at him, the easier it is to lose him."

Then how do you defend against him?

The people from Too still didn't understand, but Imayoshi Shoichi had already heard what Satsuki meant.

"It means, don't stare at him, right?"

"Eh? Don't stare at him, then how do you defend?"

The Too players were even more confused; if you don't defend the person, is that still defense?

Imayoshi Shoichi had already understood what to do; he pointed to his eyes and said, "Pay attention to their eye contact!"

"At the end of the day, there are only two people like Tiandao and Akashi; others can't see the future. Every time Seirin coordinates, Kuroko Tetsuya has to make eye contact with his teammates."

"In other words, Izuki Shun is his mirror; as long as you stare at Izuki Shun, you can find Kuroko's position."

The camera returned to the scene.

Imayoshi Shoichi moved his body at the same moment Kuroko started, blocking him firmly.

Seirin lacked Kuroko's passing, and the offensive immediately stagnated again.

"Did you see it, Hanamiya?"

"Ah, I saw it; that guy is staring at Izuki Shun."

"Can you do it?"

"Hmph, that kind of thing is simple!"

Whether it was Hanamiya Makoto or Imayoshi Shoichi, these two guys with dark hearts wouldn't find it too difficult to do.

Hanamiya Makoto had high intelligence, and Imayoshi Shoichi was a belly-black who was good at analyzing hearts.

"However, is it really necessary to value Seirin so much? They look like they are about to lose."

The first half of the match was about to end; in the second half, the effect of Misdirection would disappear, and Kagami was no match for Aomine one-on-one.

Seirin had no chance left.

Tiandao didn't explain, saying faintly, "You'll know soon."

Not long after his voice fell, the match reached another turning point.

"What is this?!"

Yamazaki Hiroshi and the others suddenly widened their eyes, as did the players from Too.

It was still that weird Vanishing Drive, but this time the person using the move had become Izuki Shun.

And then it was Hyuga Junpei, and Kiyoshi Teppei; it seemed like the entire Seirin team's breakthroughs could disappear.

"How is that possible? Everyone has the Vanishing Drive?"

"Tiandao?"

Haizaki couldn't understand, but he knew Tiandao must be able to see the secret in it.

After all, he had a pair of heaven-defying eyes.

"What is the secret of the Vanishing Drive?"

"Let Kagami attract the defender's gaze when starting, then seize the moment of distraction to complete the pass."

Tiandao had just said these words, and they wouldn't forget.

"That's right, Kuroko's Vanishing Drive has Kagami Taiga as the bait; what if Kuroko becomes this bait?"

"You mean..."

Haizaki understood; Kuroko was making himself the bait.

Playing against Seirin easily gives one the illusion of 5 playing against 4.

But when the players on the court suddenly go from 9 to 10, this suddenly extra 10th person will appear particularly conspicuous.

"That guy, he gathered everyone's sight on the court onto himself?!" Hanamiya Makoto's brows twisted into a ball.

He didn't expect Seirin to have this move.

"But..."

"But?"

"When he chooses to do this, it means giving up the possibility of defeating Too in the future. The people from Too will completely adapt to his existence. His Misdirection will completely lose its effect in front of Too."

That's still better than losing here.

That's what Kuroko said.

He stood in front of Aomine, his eyes firm.

Encouraged by him, the entire Seirin team's morale was boosted; they began to chase points and tied the score at the end of the second quarter.

Then came the second half.

Kuroko didn't stop, wanting to "use up" Misdirection all at once.

The people from Too had no way to deal with this; facing the Seirin players who could all disappear, they could only stare blankly.

Seirin had overtaken the score!
