In the Seirin rest area, Kuroko tilted his head back and gulped down a few big gulps of water, then sat down on the chair next to him. Like a fish that had been out of water for a long time, he opened his mouth and gasped desperately. The sound of his heavy breathing seemed to ring in his ears.

The constant attacking of the ball was not easy for Heizi, whose physical fitness was not very good, but he seemed not to care about the physical consumption. His eyes revealed a firm and unyielding look.

Kagami and others on the side looked at Kuroko who was breathing heavily with concern, but no one spoke to disturb him. They believed that even when facing Takao, who had a bad relationship with him, Kuroko could find a solution.

Even as a coach, Reiko did not make a decision to replace players at this moment, nor did she ask Kuroko if he needed help.

Because she firmly believed that Heizi could easily solve the current dilemma.

Moreover, Reiko firmly believes that Kuroko will be able to step up and become an important part of the team's victory.

On Shutoku's side, there was a joyful atmosphere. Although the regular players would not underestimate Seirin, they always treated him as an opponent of the same level and were ready to fight him.

But the other players were delighted. Even though the aces of the two teams had not yet intervened in the battle, the sparse offensive scores of the other players of Shutoku required Seirin to try his best to catch up.

In this way, even if Kagami exerts his strength and controls the whole situation, they will not be afraid. You know, at this moment, the difference in strength between Kagami and Midorima is already very small. Under such circumstances, they are confident that Shutoku will win in the end.

Midorima sat on a chair and calmly looked at Kuroko who was breathing heavily in the distance, and said to Takao: "Don't be careless, his behavior is very abnormal. I don't think he gave so many chances because he was so angry about losing."

Takao, who was drinking water with his head tilted back, froze suddenly after hearing what Midorima said, and almost choked on the water. He coughed violently a few times, then put down the cup, looked at Midorima with some helplessness and amusement, and said, "Xiaozhen, am I such an arrogant person in your eyes? It's really sad."

Takao sighed softly and continued, "But you don't have to worry too much. I have never taken that guy lightly. Don't be fooled by his calm appearance, but in fact he must be like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, always looking for an opportunity to give me a fatal blow. So, we still can't let down our guard!" After saying that, Takao's eyes staring at Kuroko became more and more determined.

After hearing Takao's answer, Midorima didn't say anything else, but just listened quietly to the coach's arrangements for the next game.

The second quarter began quickly, and the game continued in a tense and exciting atmosphere. The situation on the field was almost a replica of the first quarter.

With his strong strength and superb skills, Takao easily got rid of Kuroko time and time again, and worked closely with his teammates to successfully score points.

However, although Takao kept paying enough attention to prevent Kuroko's sudden attack, he did not notice a subtle change - in his "eyes", Kuroko's presence was gradually becoming stronger.

And more importantly, as time went by, Kuroko's presence became stronger and stronger, gradually attracting Takao's attention like a dazzling star.

Gaowei's attention began to involuntarily focus on Kuroko, as if he was being pulled by an invisible force.

Gradually, except for Kuroko, the figures of other players on the field became blurred in Takao's eyes, like supporting roles in the background.

In Takao's eyes, it seemed that there were only two protagonists left on the court at this moment: Kuroko and him. They looked at each other, and sparks seemed to fly where their eyes met.

The surrounding noise, cheers and the sound of the ball hitting the ground could not disturb them at all.

After Seirin once again scored a goal with the tacit cooperation of Itsuki and Hinata, Shutoku got the offensive ball. Almost without thinking, Shutoku passed the ball to Takao, hoping that Takao would once again gain the advantage from Kuroko.

After getting the ball, Takao started running quickly, intending to shake off Kuroko and launch an attack, while Kuroko tried his best to follow Takao closely, but due to their speed, the two began to distance themselves from each other.

At this moment, Izuki, who had been observing the situation here, suddenly had his eyes light up, as if he had discovered something extraordinary, and then he ran towards the direction where Takao was running, trying to intercept him.

Seeing Itsuki's move, Miyaji did not follow, but instead took advantage of his open position and ran towards the basket. He believed that Takao, who possessed the "Eagle's Eyes", would be able to easily avoid Itsuki's interception and would not miss this good opportunity of his open position.

However, things did not develop as Miyaji had imagined. Takao seemed to have not noticed Itsuki rushing towards him at all. He was still "fully focused" on competing with Kuroko and had no intention of avoiding Itsuki's interception.

Midorima was the first to notice that something was wrong with Takao and shouted, "Takao, what are you doing?"

Takao jumped when he heard Midorima's shout, only to realize that Itsuki was so close to him, and was about to pull back the basketball to pass it.

But Yi Yue was one step faster and swung his hand before he could hit the ball out.

The basketball flew towards Hinata, who seized the opportunity, took the ball and jumped up from outside the three-point line to score.

Seeing this goal, the audience was talking about it, wondering if Takao was an undercover agent. The opponent had already come to his side, but if Midorima hadn't reminded him, he would not have reacted.

After all, even an ordinary player would not be able to fail to notice the opponent's undisguised intention to approach, let alone a player with a broad field of vision like Takao.

However, the eyes of the people in the Age of Miracles brightened. Huang Lai, who had been looking a little serious because Kuroko was suppressed by Takao, chuckled:

"I knew that Xiao Heizi wouldn't give up so easily. It turns out that he can break the situation this way. I never thought!"

After Hinata scored the goal, he and Itsuki came to Kuroko and patted him on the shoulder, praising him: "You are worthy of me, Kuroko. I knew you could do it."

Kuroko just smiled along with his teammates and didn't respond. This was what he should do. He didn't want to become the team's weak link.

On the other side, Takao was staring at Kuroko in a daze, thinking about the ball just now. He had not yet recovered from the shock that Kuroko brought him.

Ootsuko came to Takao, patted his shoulder and consoled him: "Don't worry about it, it's just one ball, just return it."
