Black Basketball: A false start

Chapter 59 Misdirection (2)

"Kuroko, have you heard of Misdirectio?" Looking at the anxious Aomine Daiki and the helpless Kuroko Tetsuya in front of him, Kaneki Ken said with a sigh.

"Misdirection?" Kuroko Tetsuya and Aomine Daiki looked at Kaneki Ken in confusion, not understanding what Kaneki Ken meant by this.

"Simply put, misdirection can be roughly divided into three types: psychological, temporal, and visual." Kaneki Ken talked while playing with the basketball in his hand, "What I want you to understand today is visual misdirection."

"...Kaneki-kun...you might as well make your words more clearly." Kuroko Tetsuya seemed to have realized something, but he was still one step short of the final touch and could not understand what Kaneki Ken wanted to say.

"Ah..." Kaneki Ken sighed and scratched his head, "Misdirection of vision, this technique has always been commonly used by magicians. It's a bit pale to talk about it, so you will understand it after I show you."

Kaneki Ken walked up to Kuroko Tetsuya and patted his shoulder, then suddenly looked behind him and said in surprise: "Hey, Coach Shirogane, why are you here?"

After hearing this, everyone looked behind Kuroko Tetsuya, but their sight was empty, and there was no sign of Coach Platinum.

"What is this, Kaneki? There's no such thing as Kaneki Ken outside... ahhhhh!" Aomine Daiki curled his lips and turned around to complain about Kaneki Ken, but there was no sign of Kaneki Ken in front of him at this moment.

"I'm here." Kaneki Ken's voice came from the shadow of the basketball hoop in the arena, "Does this feeling seem familiar?"

"Come to think of it, the feeling that Yanzi just had was indeed very similar to that of Kurokin..." Murasakibara Atsushi scratched his head and sighed, "He seemed to appear and disappear mysteriously, as soon as you weren't paying attention..."

"If I wasn't paying attention... it just... disappeared?" There seemed to be a flash of lightning in Kuroko Tetsuya's mind, and the expression on his face changed suddenly.

"From your expression, you have also reacted, right?" Kaneki Ken spoke slowly, with a hint of sigh in his tone, "To be honest, Kuroko, you really have a congenital misdirection of vision."

Kaneki Ken sighed, "To achieve line of sight misdirection, there are three prerequisites. The first and most important is the eyes. When someone looks at you, he will look where you look. If you look at the sky, he will look at the sky. If you look at the ball, he will look at the ball. If you look at him, he will look at you."

“What you said, let alone looking at Azhe, it’s hard to even notice Azhe…” Qingfeng Daiki also reacted, “Yes, Azhe, I have to say that your presence is very weak…”

"So I said that Kuroko's evolutionary direction is different from ours." Kaneki Ken answered this question on behalf of Kuroko Tetsuya, "I have observed Kuroko for a long time. His innate weak sense of existence is his innate talent."

"Kaneki-kun, I think I roughly understand what you mean. Can you tell me in detail the remaining elements of Misdirection?" Kuroko Tetsuya was like a drowning man who had grabbed a life-saving straw. He felt that Kaneki Ken was pointing him to a basketball path that he had never imagined.

"That's fine, anyway, we've finished today's training." Kaneki Ken sighed, put down the basketball in his hand and sat on the ground. "The second point is that if you want to mislead others' attention away from an object, then you must prepare another thing to attract their attention."

Kaneki Ken gave another example from the previous demonstration: "Just like I wanted to divert your attention just now, the coach Platinum I mentioned is the thing that diverts your attention. And in the game, the basketball that everyone is fighting for is a perfect prop for diverting attention."

Halfway through his speech, Kaneki Ken looked at Kuroko Tetsuya's thoughtful expression, and then continued, "As for the third item, we actually see it often. That is when you have to do something under someone's nose, use a big move to cover up a small move. For example, the fake shot and real pass and breakthrough pass that we often use are classic ways of using a big move to cover up a small move."

"What's with the one, two, three... just following the magic trick!" Aomine Daiki finally couldn't stand it anymore, "Kaneki, can't you just be more direct and tell Zhe how to play?"

"Please wait, Aomine-kun..." Kuroko Tetsuya grabbed Aomine Daiki's arm and looked at Kaneki Ken with burning eyes, "Thank you, Kaneki-kun, I now fully understand how I should play!"

"Yeah." Kaneki Ken nodded slightly, "Find your own way to play the ball, and then practice it. In fact, I only have a little understanding of vision misdirection. The subsequent in-depth study and the effect on the court are what you should work hard on." "Yes!" Kuroko Tetsuya bowed to Kaneki Ken gratefully, tears in his eyes burst out again, sobbing, "I really... too..."

"Alas, I paid for them to come here! Why are you thanking Kaneki for anything!" Aomine Daiki blocked Kaneki Ken's figure out of jealousy, but unfortunately he was not tall enough and Kaneki Ken's eyes were exposed.

"Of course, thank you Aomine too..." Kuroko Tetsuya raised his head and looked at Aomine Daiki, but was frightened by Kaneki Ken's eyes and lost his voice.

Inside the stadium, Kaneki Ken stood under the ceiling light with his back to the light, his golden eyes remained calm, like a god king staring at ants.

"Hey, so you're here." Just as Kaneki Ken, Kuroko Tetsuya and the others fell into a strange silence, a gentle voice came from the side, "I was wondering why you guys disappeared as soon as you disbanded for so many days. It turns out you came here secretly to practice..."

"Hey, it's Akashi and Midorima." Aomine Daiki pulled Kuroko Tetsuya over and introduced them, "I've been training here with Murasakibara, Tetsu, and Kaneki during this period."

"Azhe? More training?" Akashi Seijuro looked at Kuroko Tetsuya curiously, and in an instant a strange sense of fate surged in his heart.

"Hello, my name is Akashi Seijuro." Akashi extended his hand and introduced himself in a friendly manner.

"Oh...my name is Kuroko Tetsuya." Kuroko Tetsuya, who was a little slow, quickly stepped forward and shook Akashi Seijuro's hand and responded.

"Akagi..." Midorima Shintaro looked at Akashi Seijuro's strange expression without saying anything. Just after walking out of Shirogane Kozo's office, Akashi Seijuro became a little strange, like a completely different person.

"Daiki." Akashi Seijuro did not address Aomine Daiki as usual, "Your friend... is very interesting."

"Really? You also think that Azhe is extraordinary, right?" Aomine Daiki laughed and patted Kuroko Tetsuya on the shoulder, "Kaneki said the same thing! He also taught Kuroko mi...mi..."

"Misdirection." Kaneki Ken reminded helplessly.

"Oh, yes, misdirection." Aomine Daiki patted his forehead, "Although I didn't understand, I felt it was very impressive."

"Misdirection? How interesting. Let's go, Shintaro." Akashi Seijuro pondered for a moment, and rarely turned around and left without saying goodbye.

"That's so rude." Midorima Shintaro nodded slightly to Kaneki Ken and the others, then followed Akashi Seijuro's steps.

"Akagi-kun...what happened..." Momoi Satsuki was a little confused and muttered softly with some worry as she looked at Akashi Seijuro's departing back.

"Who knows? Everyone has bad moods sometimes." Kaneki Ken didn't look at Akashi Seijuro's back and packed up his things. "Let's go, May."
