Black Basketball: A false start

Chapter 136 Still Not Enough

"Where have you been, Ken-kun? You took too long to go to the bathroom..." Looking at Kaneki Ken who didn't return to his seat until the game started, Taoi Satsuki muttered in confusion, "This game is between Xiao Huang and Kitagawa Junior High School..."

"We just ran into Gilgamesh in the restroom. Gilgamesh and Gilgamesh talked about a lot of things I didn't understand." Before Kaneki Ken could speak, the straightforward Sakuragi Hanamichi couldn't help but interrupted, "Gilgamesh also asked me to watch the game carefully and think about how to defend against him in this way and that way..."

"Sakuragi...can you speak a little more quietly...this is a public place..." Kaneki Ken couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when he saw the curious looks from people around him.

"Oh... OK!" After hearing this, Sakuragi Hanamichi lowered his voice, made an OK gesture to Kaneki Ken, and then whispered, "We~just now~..."

"Okay, that's a good point, stop talking." Kaneki Ken couldn't stand it anymore and covered Sakuragi Hanamichi's mouth with his hand. "Just now, Kise Ryota and I met in the bathroom. From what I know, he has made some progress in imitating Aomine and the others."

"Oh?" Taoi Satsuki looked at Kise Ryota who was warming up in the field with interest, "Isn't that very similar to Ken-kun back then?"

"Those who learn from me will live, those who imitate me will die." Kaneki Ken curled his lips in disdain, "What's more, he only learned the form but not the spirit... But it's enough to deal with Kitagawa's bunch of noobs."

……

"So, did you say the harsh words I asked you to say?" On the court, Kasamatsu Yukio walked up to Kise Ryota and asked expectantly.

"It should be considered... releasing him... right?" Kise Ryota said, avoiding the gaze of Kasamatsu Yukio.

"Ah?" Kasamatsu Yukio was confused. "What do you mean it should be considered released? Right?"

"I was the one who threatened him and told him to look at my performance today. He would definitely be shocked... and then Kaneki Ken looked at me with an expression of 'I know everything'..." Kise Ryota said with some entanglement, "He also said that I was a half-finished product... Anyway, Captain, I said what you asked me to say, but it seems to have no effect at all..."

"You, you, you..." Kasamatsu Yukio poked Kise Ryouta's head pitifully and said, "You must perform well for me today, otherwise you will be in trouble after the game!"

"Oh, don't worry, Captain Kasamatsu~" Kise Ryota smiled flatteringly, rubbing Kasamatsu Yukio's shoulders and said, "Although I still need to practice my secret weapon, it is still very intimidating against those guys from Kitagawa."

"Humph!" After hearing what Kise Ryouta said, Kasamatsu Yukio, who was pretending to be angry, was happy to go along with it and snorted coldly, "I don't think you dare to cause trouble to me during the competition."

"Let me put it this way, captain. I promise you, give me the ball, and I can beat Kitagawa within three quarters!" When talking about the game, Kise Ryota's expression became serious.

"No joking in the team..." Kasamatsu Yukio raised his eyebrows slightly and said to Kise Ryota with a playful look.

"Two quarters, two quarters to beat Kitagawa!" The smile on Huang Lai Ryota's face became even bigger.

"How about this, Huang Lai, I'll join in the fun." Fujima Kenji also came over with a smile, "I'll give you the command of the team on the court for two quarters, but whether you can play well or not depends on you~"

"Haha, then you can rest assured, Captain Fujima!" Kise Ryota put two fingers on his eyebrows and saluted casually, and his signature sunny and cheerful smile appeared on his face again.

……

"Buzz~"

As the warm-up time came to an end, the buzzing sound of the timer above the court sounded, and the starting players of both teams took off their coats and lined up in the middle of the court.

The referee also walked into the field with the ball at this time and shouted loudly: "I declare! The match between Haichang High School and Beichuan High School will start now. Players from both sides, please salute!"

"Please give me more advice!" x2
As the players from both teams finished their salute, the centers of both teams also came to the midline to fight for the ball. "Sugimoto-san is finally going to Kaijo High School..." Taoi Satsuki said with some regret as she looked at Daichi Sugimoto wearing the No. 17 Kaijo jersey in the middle of the field. "I originally wanted to persuade him to come to Shonan, after all, he is a good center at 195 cm..."

"Tsk, these traitors! Sooner or later we will deal with them!" Izawa Shuji was now filled with dissatisfaction when he saw his former teammates. In his eyes, everyone should follow Kaneki to dominate the country.

"Everyone has their own aspirations. It's okay if they don't come." Kaneki Ken shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Sugimoto's physical ability can only be said to be average. His core strength is pretty good. He has a mid-range shot and assists, and has a good sense of rebounding. To put it bluntly, he can only be regarded as a weakened version of Muji. Now the only centers on the team are Kabata and Akagi-senpai. It would be a waste of talent if he came."

"Well, you can't say that, Captain Kaneki!" Izawa Shuji said hastily, as if to prove that he was Kaneki Ken's most loyal team member, "Whether you need Sugimoto is one thing, but whether he comes or not is a matter of his attitude!"

"Okay, don't worry about it and just watch the game seriously!" Kaneki Ken smiled and patted Izawa Shuji on the shoulder, focusing his attention on the game that was about to begin.

"Beep beep~"

As the whistle sounded, the referee threw the basketball high into the air. Sugimoto Daichi jumped up and jumped over the head of the 1-meter-tall center of Kitagawa Middle School to get the ball. Fujima Kenji was quick to grab the flying basketball.

"Kise!" Fujima Kenji did what he said and passed the ball to Kise Ryota as soon as he crossed half court.

"Thank you~" Huang Lai Liangtai took the basketball, smiled and looked at the player defending him and said, "Well, classmate, I have friends coming to watch my game today, how about you give me some face and let me pass?"

"Ah? Who are you? Who cares about you! Do you think you are Kaneki Ken just because you have a golden hair?" The passerby from Kitagawa Middle School was also a young and ignorant guy who didn't give Kise Ryouta any face at all.

"Haha, this is really a headache..." Kise Ryota looked at Kaneki Ken on the bench behind the backboard and shook his head in distress, "Come to think of it, I'm indeed not as good as Kaneki..."

"Good opportunity!" Passerby A saw that Kise Ryouta was actually in a daze, and hurriedly moved forward to wait for an opportunity to steal the ball.

"But this doesn't mean I'm not stronger than you!" Huang Lai Liang Ta didn't even look at Passerby A. He took a step back with his hips, adjusted his body slightly, and then did a Crossover. His center of gravity suddenly dropped to the lowest, and he broke through Passerby A's defense like a golden light.

"What! This is..." Taoi Satsuki was very familiar with the scene before her eyes. Her dark-skinned childhood friend had used this trick to defeat his opponents on the court more than once.

"Don't worry, sit down and watch the game~" Kaneki Ken crossed his arms in front of his chest and said confidently, "It's just that the movements are a bit similar, but they are not the same thing at all..."

"How is this possible? This is obviously..." Taoi Satsuki was about to argue when she was interrupted by Kaneki Ken's next words.

"What makes Aomine unstoppable is not his fancy street basketball style and xjb shooting, but his agility and speed." Kaneki Ken commented calmly, "For example, from the lowest speed of 70 to the highest speed of 100, others may need one to two seconds to adjust, but Aomine only needs a moment. As for Kise, his speed is definitely not as fast as Aomine, but the reason why you feel that Aomine is possessed is... the speed difference!"

"Speed ​​difference?" Taoi Satsuki felt like she knew something, but she didn't know it completely.

"It's like the average person's speed is 60, and the maximum speed is 70, so the speeds of 70-100 are redundant." Kaneki Ken explained patiently, "And Kise uses this redundant space. He can't do an instantaneous speed conversion from 70 to 100, and his upper limit is only 90. So theoretically, he can do an instantaneous speed conversion from 60 to 90, and he can crush ordinary players in speed like Aomine, and maintain the same speed as Aomine in rhythm change."

"That's amazing..." Tao Jing Satsuki said in amazement, "I can't even imagine such a thing..."

"It's nothing to be afraid of." Kaneki Ken shrugged and said, "If Huang Lai can really change between 60 and 90 speed differences in an instant, then he can indeed be considered a good opponent, but now he can only change between 60 and 80 at most, which is not good enough."

Kaneki Ken looked at Kise Ryota who scored a layup after passing a passerby in the field, shook his head and continued: "From the visual scene, it is indeed exactly the same as Aomine - both are crushing ordinary players, but when it comes to the high-end game, this level... is completely not enough."

Can you write less today? I have been writing 8000 words for many days in a row. I am so tired.
