[Black Basket] On the Victory of the Emperor

113: Opponent

Although the broadcast said the game started, this is not the real game start, this is just the whole team, and the jump ball will not start until the two teams are ready.

"One-on-one marking, do you still remember the strategy?"

As a coach and supervisor, Bai Jin Yongzhi still reminded them before they played.

"of course I remember."

Ling Yang nodded, "But use a one-on-one strategy from the beginning, and then..."

Nebuya nodded,

"Isn't Dai the trump card? It's not good to be exposed so early."

"This is the most effective plan after discussing with Akashi. You have to remember that it is now the finals. Do you know what this means? Your opponent is a strong player who has defeated half of the country's colleges and universities just like you, so Absolutely not to underestimate the enemy like last time."

"understand!"

They answered in unison.

At this time, Akashi suddenly glanced at Seirin's rest area, and he happened to see Muji talking with Fire Shinhwa, and after thinking for a while, he said,

"Seirin's jumper may have changed."

Nebuya, who was in charge of jumping the ball, quickly responded,

"Isn't it Muji who I'm marking?"

"Probably become Vulcan."

Akashi replied.

"Should I go to the jump ball instead?"

Hayama is responsible for keeping an eye on the Fire God.

"Do not,"

Akashi shook his head, "It doesn't matter whoever you send. Vulcan's jumping ability is far superior to yours. Even Nebuya will probably fail."

Genwugu frowned.

"But I'm not hurting you. You should know what to do. The first ball must belong to Luoshan."

Akashi said calmly, all the changes seemed to be in his plan.

Watching Luoshan players walking towards the field, Luoshan assistant coach Sato Takuo, who has always had no sense of presence, suddenly said,

"I don't know."

He looked confused,

"Whether it is Luoshan's style or Akashi-kun's style, one-on-one should not be used in the first quarter, it should be a test. Why did you come up with this strategy with Akashi? One-on-one is too exhausting. It’s gone, and Dai’s exposure so early probably won’t hold her back.”

Platinum disagrees,

"If the opponent is Xiude or Tonghuang, then the first quarter must be tested first, but it doesn't have to be the case against Seirin."

"How do you say? Didn't you say that you won't let them underestimate the enemy? Why do you..."

Platinum didn't answer directly, but instead asked Sato,

"What do you think of Seirin?"

Sato thought for a while and replied,

"It's a dark horse."

"That's right, Seirin is an inconspicuous dark horse that broke through the siege. It's only been two years since the school was established, but their basketball team has already reached the finals. What do you think is the biggest reason?"

"Because they have Kagami Taiga and Kuroko Tetsuya?"

Luo Shan still put a lot of effort into studying Seirin.

"Not quite."

Platinum changed his posture and folded his arms, "Vulcan and Heizi can be the reason, but do you think it's possible for only these two of them to bring an ordinary team to the final?"

Without waiting for Sato's answer, he went on to say,

"Obviously not, but Seirin is really standing in front of us at this time, because they have terrible potential."

"I also studied Seirin's game video last night. From the comparison with the previous game with Haichang, I can find that they have made leaps and bounds. If Tonghuang is a strong team at any time, then They’re a team that’s strong when it’s strong.”

"Even if they were as weak as ants before, they can turn into a strong team at the same level as Luoshan in the next second."

Sato was a little worried when he heard the words, and he was not so confident after hearing what Bai Jin said.

"But even if Seirin is strong when he meets the strong, Luoshan will not be helpless."

Contrary to Sato, Platinum has always been so calm and composed.

"After all, they are just a new team two years after the school was established. They are completely incomparable with the century-old Luoshan. Their training methods and training volume are definitely not as good as Luoshan."

"I understand!"

Sato suddenly realized, "You and Akashi-kun want this to widen the gap and defeat them?"

"Yes."

Platinum nodded.

So in what aspect does Luoshan plan to widen the gap?

The first is physical strength. The physical strength of the Luoshan players accumulated from the amount of training is that Dai can barely support the high-intensity competition until the end of the competition, provided that he does not use his abilities.

The second is skills, whether it is Lingyang's Heaven and Earth Void, or Akashi's Eye of the Emperor, Luoshan is still slightly better than Seirin in terms of skills.

Akashi's guess was correct, Seirin's candidate for the jump ball turned out to be Vulcan, but Luoshan was already prepared for this.

"Catch the ball—"

As soon as Vulcan took the racket and planned to pass it to Itsuki, he found that he was intercepted by Akashi halfway.

When Akashi got the ball in his hand, he moved flexibly among the various Luoshan players. Soon, Luoshan won the first ball.

During the second ball, Vulcan was dribbling the ball, his face was a bit ferocious because of his seriousness, Ha Shan stood in front of him, he was shorter than Vulcan but his movements were much smoother than Vulcan.

Ha Shan originally thought that he could win the second goal, but unexpectedly, the over-conscientious Vulcan entered the zone all at once.

He only saw a few afterimages, and then Vulcan broke through him silently.

He entered the zone like a tiger, and went straight to the bottom of Luoshan's basket. The big Genwugu wanted to defend him, but he jumped up on the spot without even looking at him, as if his body was stuck in the air, he suddenly After dunking the ball in, even though Nebuya jumped up, he didn't have the jumping ability of Vulcan at all. He couldn't defend the ball at all.

Less than half a minute into the game, both teams had already scored a goal.

Although there is a visual sense of stalemate, it is actually a climax from the very beginning.

It's not that people in Luoshan don't know anything about zones, on the contrary, they've done a lot of research.

Now seeing Vulcan zone at the beginning, completely disregarding the situation afterwards, instead of being afraid in their hearts, they feel that Vulcan is being stupid.

There is a time limit for opening and hanging, and Vulcan completely cut off his own way of retreat by doing so.

But after thinking about it, this is the final, the last game of the Winter Cup, so it is reasonable to put everything on top of it.

Different from the fiery match on the other side, in an inconspicuous place on the basketball court, the two quietly looked at each other.

There shouldn't be any inconspicuous places on the basketball court, but after two people stood here, people unconsciously ignored it. Of course, their respective players would not miss it.

Heizi silently looked at Dai in front of him who made him feel disobedient, and Dai also looked at him. No one said a word. Although they were distracted by their teammates, they were extremely vigilant towards each other.

Heizi was very puzzled at this moment, he rarely hated a person for no reason, but this person in front of him was.

Seeing that the two had been silent for too long, Dai actually opened her mouth.

"Do you know the meaning of Luoshan's jersey back number?"

Heizi looked at him blankly. Aida had given them some science popularization about Luoshan, but he didn't think there was anything worth mentioning at this time.Or is the other party just looking for a topic?

"I'm number five."

The corner of Dai's mouth curled into a shallow malicious smile.

Kuroko thought about it for a while, and finally remembered what Aida said earlier.

—— "I'm very worried about Luoshan's No. [-], I'm not sure if he will be the trump card."

"trump card?"

He made a sound in doubt.

"Yes."

Dai suddenly moved, and Heizi also randomly noticed that the basketball was passed by someone.

Heizi wanted to take advantage of his presence to grab the ball before Dai.

"Speed ​​up the pass!"

Exclamations came and went.

They exclaimed not because of the move, but because of the person who used the move.

It's not Heizi, but Dai.

It's a pity that although Heizi and Dai are very close to the ball from Hashan, Dai's shot is faster than Heizi's by virtue of their tacit understanding.

Then he made an accelerated pass, a trick only Kuroko could do.

"……how is this possible!"

Aida jumped up from the bench in surprise.

Kedai made an accelerated pass, just like Kuroko's, and he passed the ball to Akashi.

Surprisingly, after Akashi got the ball, he didn't pass it to his teammates. Instead, he broke into Seirin's basket with the ball as if entering no one's land.

He almost repeated the appearance of Vulcan breaking Luoshan's defense before, and then took off...

Akashi's action is not a shooting star slam dunk of Vulcan, but an ordinary slam dunk action, but it is already a very powerful slam dunk.

Akashi treated his own body in his own way, and returned a ball to Seirin.

And, his retaliation may be more than that.

Dai's accelerated pass, and the seamless cooperation with Akashi, everything can't help but remind people of Kagami and Kuroko.

"impossible!"

Heizi seemed to have thought of a certain possibility, and he revealed some panicked emotions.

When the next pass came, Kuroko stepped forward eagerly to change his trajectory, but the ball he passed to Hinata fell into Lingyang's hands.

Moreover, Dai's figure appeared in front of him.

"impossible……"

He staggered back a step.

Dai, who is taller than him, glanced at him lightly,

"Hello, Kuroko Tetsuya-kun, the old phantom sixth man."

- "Old Type"

Kuroko felt as if something had collapsed in his heart, he even forgot that he was still in the game, and he looked at Akashi in a daze.

But he didn't get any response from Akashi, because Akashi was not looking at him, but Dai Chihiro.

At the same time, Dai walked into Seirin's half with the basketball in his arms in a panic. He cooperated with Akashi and used the disappearing dribble to pass Seirin's defenders.

In the end, he stood under the basket, and an ordinary shot completely shattered Heizi's last illusion.

"Same as Heizi?!"

The honest man exclaimed.

"Same?"

As the captain of Luoshan, Akashi was receiving all the attention at this time, and everyone wanted to know what was going on, "It's different."

"He does have the same characteristics as Heizi, but all the basic performances are much higher than Heizi's, and he doesn't have any skills other than passing."

Akashi's words are shattering bit by bit...

"As he said, Heizi is the old type, and he is the new type of phantom sixth man."

He completely shattered a certain belief in Heizi's heart.

——It turns out... I am no longer the most special person to you...

It was an expression so pale that it looked like it was about to cry.

However, Akashi, who returned to defense, didn't see anything.
