Black Basketball: A false start

Chapter 144 No destruction, no establishment
"What happened? Why did Kaneki Ken give the ball to the center from outside the three-point line?"

"Hanagata Toru has also come out to reinforce the defense?"

The spectators on the sidelines were talking about it, and were obviously confused by Kaneki Ken's choice. But Kaneki Ken just smiled faintly, made a gesture of pulling away, and cleared the entire right side to Shigehiro Kabaji.

"Kise, you mean this big guy is like Murasakibara Atsushi, a center with excellent height, strength, and athletic ability, right?" Kasamatsu Yukio asked, looking at Kabachi Shigehiro and Hanagata Toru who were in a confrontation on the court, "Do you know how good this big guy's skills are?"

"Huh?" Kise Ryouta was really stumped by the question. "When he played against us, I felt that his skills were very crude, basically the same as Murasakibara's... After he was eliminated early in his third year by us, I rarely saw him play again..."

"But if he is really a player with average skills, Kaneki Ken's behavior is too strange..." Fujima Kenji was also puzzled, "If his skills are average, he is not qualified to initiate an attack outside the three-point line..."

"boom!"

Amid the puzzled gazes of the audience, Shigehiro Kabaji suddenly jumped up and used the same explosive shot as Hanagata Toru, breaking through Hanagata Toru's defense in the blink of an eye.

"So fast!" Hanagata Tou could see the figure of Shigehiro Kabata from the corner of his eye, but his body could not keep up with Shigehiro Kabata's pace at all.

"Takasa! Pay attention to the reinforcement!" Maki Shinichi, who was fighting with Kaneki Ken, had no time to spare and could only hope that Takasa could delay Kabaji Shigehiro's pace a little.

But it was obvious that Takasa Kazuma was unable to complete such a task. Kabaji Shigehiro turned faster than Hanagata Toru and threw Takasa Kazuma behind him. Facing the empty restricted area, he bent his legs slightly, jumped high, and slammed the ball into the basket.

"Oh my god! This big guy is so flexible!"

"So fast and so fierce! Just like Murasakibara Atsushi in Yangquan!"

“Is this really a move that a center can make?”

The entire audience was extremely shocked by this goal, and Kasamatsu Yukio also looked at Kise Ryota with an expression that said "You call this rough technique?"

Kise Ryota stared at Kabaji Shigehiro who was returning to defend with his mouth wide open. After a while, he came back to his senses and looked at Kasamatsu Yukio. He scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Don't look at me like that..."

……

"Hey, stop looking at me like that. What do you mean?" Murasakibara Atsushi felt extremely unhappy when he saw the looks his teammates were giving him.

"Zihara, have you really beaten this guy to death?" Liu Wei asked directly.

"What do you mean? Do you think I'm bragging?" Liu Wei's words broke his defense.

"Haha, Adun, Liu Sang didn't mean that. He just can't believe that there is another big guy besides you who can be so flexible." While coaxing Murasakibara Atsushi, Himuro Tatsuya took out a rice bran roll from his pocket smoothly, peeled it, and handed it to Murasakibara Atsushi's hand. His skillful manner was heartbreaking.

"Hmph..." Murasakihara Atsushi took the rice roll from Himuro Tatsuya and said unconvincedly, "It's just a circle, what's the big deal! I can score a goal without spinning in circles! And Yanzi said that my way of playing is to crush the opponent with absolute strength!"

"That's called footwork, you idiot!" Araki Masako couldn't stand it any longer, and slammed the table and yelled, "I've asked Okamura to teach you for almost a month! And you haven't even learned how to turn around and dribble past the defense under the basket!"

"Shigehiro Kabata scored again!" Mike Okita on the side suddenly said.

"Hmm? You're quite capable..." Murasakihara Atsuya took the opportunity to change the subject and attract Araki Masako's attention, "Come to think of it, those two goals that Kabaji Shigehiro just scored... were all scored using the same tactics used by the players from Poseidon High School, right? This is very similar to Huang Zai..."

……

Just now, when Shigehiro Kabaji completed his first score, Shinichi Maki decisively chose to pass the ball to Akira Sendoh, the only one on the court who could have the upper hand in the matchup.

Facing Rukawa Kaede's defense, Sendoh Akira made a flexible turn and then stepped back to open up space, and then scored a fadeaway jumper, and the score was caught up to 10:6. But just when everyone from Poseidon High School was ready to repeat the same trick and catch up with the score in one breath, Kabaji Shigehiro immediately used his performance to hit Poseidon High School on the head.

I saw Shigehiro Kabaji firmly holding Hanagata Toru in the inside line. After receiving the lob from Ken Kaneki, he turned from his back to facing the basket, and with a powerful blast, he turned around and left Hanagata Toru half a body length away.

Seeing this, Hanagata Toru hurriedly moved his feet to try to keep up with Kabata Shigehiro, but Kabata Shigehiro's subsequent step back completely pinned Hanagata Toru in place.

Hanagata Toru gritted his teeth and threw himself on Shigehiro Kabachi, trying to foul him before he could shoot, but it was a pipe dream for Hanagata Toru to stop Shigehiro Kabachi's fadeaway jumper, as he was not fast enough and not tall enough. Not only did Shigehiro Kabachi score two points, he also gave him a free throw opportunity. Shigehiro Kabachi made the free throw, and the score was again widened to 7 points.

"Time out!" Seeing that the team's morale had been hit hard by Shonan, Takagi Kazuki decisively called a timeout to adjust tactics.

"Hu...Hu..." Maki Shinichi and Sendoh Akira were breathing heavily as soon as they sat on the bench. Although the game had only been played for 3 minutes, Kaneki Ken's pressure forced them to enter the flow state from the beginning of the game, which also increased their physical energy consumption.

"How are things, Amu and Sendoh?" Takagi Kazuki asked the two of them worriedly.

"Not optimistic..." Sendoh Akira wiped his sweat with a towel, "I can continue to play one-on-one against Rukawa Kaede, but Kaneki Ken hasn't made a shot yet, and Rukawa Kaede is gradually adapting to my rhythm..."

"Why don't you let me play!" Kiyota Nobunaga suggested, "Now only Amu-senpai and Sendoh-senpai can hold the ball. Facing Kaneki Ken is too much pressure! Even if I play to help Amu-senpai face Kaneki Ken for a minute or two, it will at least make Amu-senpai less stressed..."

"Can you?" Before Takagi Kazuki could express his opinion, Maki Shinichi suddenly spoke.

"Of course!" When Kiyota Nobunaga heard that Maki Shinichi did not refuse, he quickly said, "I will do it even if I die!"

"Coach, let's change players." Maki Shinichi looked at Takagi Kazuki calmly and said.

"Okay." Gao Mu Yihui always believed in Amu's choice, and this time was no exception, "Next, we will play like this..."

……

While Poseidon High School was still studying the next tactics, Yukio Kasamatsu on the sidelines was staring at Shigehiro Kabachi on the Shonan bench.

"This guy feels a lot like you, Huang Lai..." Kasamatsu Yukio frowned and said with a grim expression.

"Ah..." Ryouta Kise felt uncomfortable at this moment. He felt that Kaneki Ken allowed Shigehiro Kabaji to shine on the court just to mock him.

"Ken-kun, you see, Huang's face doesn't look good...Karachi's performance seems to make him very unhappy..." Taoi Satsuki also saw Huang Se Ryota's ugly expression. At this time, he was standing behind Kaneki Ken, gently massaging Kaneki Ken's shoulders.

"So? Should I coax him? Don't be ridiculous." Kaneki Ken took a sip of water and said leisurely, "When I was not in Teiko, he played in his comfort zone for so long. If his wrong ideas are not broken in the most intuitive way, he will never grow in his life."

"Yan-kun, what do you mean?" Taoi Satsuki asked thoughtfully.

"Kise thinks his talent is imitation and is proud of it. It's simply stupid." Kaneki Ken commented mercilessly, "If it's just imitation skills, don't mention me, even Kabaji can do it. Kise's greatest talent is actually learning."

Kaneki Ken's eyes flashed with a strong confidence, and he continued: "If he can't realize this, what if he can really imitate everyone in the Generation of Miracles? When he imitates Midorima, he is just Midorima, and when he imitates Aomine, he is just Aomine. So what about Midorima? So what about Aomine? None of them is my opponent. Without destruction, there is no construction. Everything I do today, he in the future will understand!"

As the words fell, Kaneki Ken's aura had reached its peak. The audience around him felt as if a storm was about to come in the venue, and the atmosphere became a little suffocating.

"Beep~" The pause time passed in the blink of an eye. When Kaneki Ken stood up again, Kise Ryota felt as if a god of war had awakened before his eyes.
