Black Basketball: A false start

Chapter 48 Zone?

Just now, because Kaneki Ken did not return to defense immediately, Shibuya First Middle School was in a situation of five against four in the frontcourt. After some transmission, the ball came into the hands of Liu Wei who was left open.

"Liu Wei, good opportunity, shoot!" Yamanaka Kazuhiko said excitedly. Liu Wei did not hesitate, and immediately jumped up and shot after receiving the ball. Day after day of mid-range shooting training made him feel that the ball would definitely go in when he shot - if nothing unexpected happened.

But as expected, an accident happened.

"Hey, everyone. Let's stop this warm and passionate comic scene!" Kaneki Ken's deep voice sounded behind Liu Wei, and the coldness in his tone made Liu Wei's back shiver. Everyone present only felt a flash of golden light before their eyes, and the basketball that had just been shot was fiercely slapped away by a big hand.

"No way?! Can I catch up with this?!" Feeling the huge pressure coming from behind, Liu Wei was terrified, and the shadow of the silverback gorilla on his body gradually dissipated.

"Bang!" The basketball and the backboard collided with each other, making a loud noise. Before everyone could react, Kaneki Ken jumped up again and grabbed the ball steadily in his hand.

"Hurry up and defend!" Narumi Daisuke was the first to react, reminding the whole team to be careful of Teiko Junior High School's fast break. But even after they all returned to their defensive positions, Teiko Junior High School's players did not attack. Instead, the players of Teiko Junior High School stood still, like elementary school students who had made mistakes and were caught by their teachers, with their hands behind their backs and their heads down, not daring to look into Kaneki Ken's eyes.

"Look at the way you look so out of control! You don't look like the ever-victorious Teikou at all!" Kaneki Ken glanced at his teammates, his golden pupils emitting a frightening electric light, "Have you all forgotten your responsibilities? You become overwhelmed when things go a little beyond your expectations! You become completely confused when the score is a little closer! If you feel too much pressure and can't perform well, you can ask me to take a break!"

"I'm sorry, Kenzai," Murasakibara Atsushi stammered, not knowing what to say. Midorima Shintaro and Aomine Daiki also bit their lips, clenched their fists, and looked unwilling.

"No need to say sorry." The electric light in Kaneki Ken's eyes became more dazzling, "I said that Shibuya First Middle School will lose today, and no one can save Shibuya First Middle School. My words have never failed. No matter how you fight, the result will not change!"

Kaneki Ken paused, looked at his teammates who were still listless, and suddenly threw the ball casually to the front court, causing the most ridiculous mistake that Teiko Junior High School had made since participating in the selection tournament.

"Yanzi?"

"Kaneki?"

Everyone in Teiko was in an uproar, not understanding what Kaneki Ken's purpose was.

Kaneki Ken, however, acted as if nothing had happened. He looked at his teammates and continued, "No one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. Now I have made a mistake just like you. Next, those of you who are ready to die and never lose, come with me and take down Shibuya First Middle School. As long as you play as I say, if you lose in the end, you can just say that it was my mistake that led to the defeat. I am willing to take all the responsibility."

"Yanzi..."

"Kaneki..."

Everyone in Teiko looked at Kaneki Ken with complicated expressions and remained silent for a long time.

"Ha, come on, I'm the captain and I haven't retired yet, how can it be your turn to take responsibility!" Nijimura Shuzo chuckled, breaking the heavy atmosphere, "Then I'll leave everything to you, ace! There are no weaklings who run away from the battlefield in the Teiko Junior High School team!"

……

"A genius! He has definitely entered the zone!" Katsuya Aida, who had been paying close attention to Kaneki Ken, was astonished at this moment, "I never doubted that Kaneki Ken could enter the zone, but I didn't expect that he would have achieved this at this age!" "Zone? What is that?" It was the first time that Reiko Aida heard of this term.

"Normally, no matter how good an athlete is, he can only play to 80% of his potential." Aida Katsuhiro calmed down his excitement and said with a slight tremor in his voice, "But a few talented players who have undergone extremely hard training can enter a state called the zone. In this state, their brains will filter out all unnecessary information and focus on the game in front of them. At that time, they will unleash 100% of their potential."

"Dad, do you mean to say that Kaneki Ken is already so strong, but this is only 80% of his ability at most?" Reiko Aida felt that her worldview had been overturned.

"No one can say for sure..." Aida Katsuyori looked at Kaneki Ken's expression, which was like a statue of a god, with a complicated look, and sighed, "The influence of the selected geniuses on the game after entering the zone cannot be calculated by simple mathematical conversion!"

……

"What's going on?! This feeling of oppression!" Just after stepping across half court, Hayama Kotaro, the most talented of the group, clearly felt a sense of oppression as heavy as a mountain emanating from Kaneki Ken, "Could it be that the entire half court... is covered by his influence?!"

Except for the frightened Hayama Kotaro, the other players of Shibuya First Junior High School were not explicitly targeted by Kaneki Ken's oppressive feeling, but from the moment they stepped across the center line, they felt as if they had stepped into the territory of the devil, having difficulty breathing and feeling a chill all over their bodies.

"I'm sorry, everyone in Shibuya. We have to be serious from now on..." Kaneki Ken's voice sounded like the judgment of a god in their ears. "If we can't defeat you, it will give others the illusion that 'Teiko and Shibuya are teams of the same level'."

"Kotaro, catch the ball!" Yamanaka Kazuhiko was the first to be knocked down by the heavy pressure. As a player, his sense of responsibility made him barely suppress the idea of ​​turning around and running, and he struggled to pass the ball to Hayama Kotaro.

"No, Captain!" Just as Hayama Kotaro was about to stop Yamanaka Kazuhiko's move, he saw a figure that was more than twice as fast as Hayama Kotaro flash by and steal the pass. The wind from the speed slapped Hayama Kotaro's face. By the time he reacted, the figure was already hanging on his own basket.

"This feeling..." The figure on the basket let go of his hand and fell down, looking at his palm excitedly, "It's great, I feel an endless amount of power surging in my body!"

"Little yellow-haired boy! Come again!" The figure turned around and looked at Kotaro Yeyama excitedly.

……

"This is a troublesome situation." Aida Reiko frowned and looked at Aomine Daiki who was the first to attack, "Let alone Kaneki Ken, now that dark-skinned boy alone is not something that Shibuya No. 1 Middle School can handle... But this shouldn't be... Could it be... that he has also entered the zone?"

Aida Katsuyori didn't say anything. He also felt that this was the most likely reason, but for some reason, he always felt that the source of everything was Kaneki Ken.

"Although that situation is almost impossible, if it really is the case..." Aida Katsutora didn't dare to think about it anymore.

But what he didn't notice was that just now, not only Kaneki Ken, but all the people present in Teiko had a golden flash in their eyes. If you look closely, except for Nijimura Shuzo, the others' flashes were mixed with a trace of other colors...
