Black Basketball: A false start

Chapter 90: Emperor Mu who never gives up
"As expected, a timeout was called, Poseidon Junior High School." Ishiguro Junior High School coach Tian Gang Meng had a look of expectedness, "We were originally planning to give up the inside defense and rebounding and go against Teiko Junior High School, but the offense didn't work out, and we were beaten into a sieve by the opponent's inside line. This is a major tactical mistake!"

"This can't be blamed on Amu, right?" Sendoh Akihito said helplessly, "If anyone faces Teikou, they can only take care of one side of the attack and defense. If they want to blame someone, they can only blame themselves for facing Teikou and Kaneki Ken."

"Amu, what should we do now?" Gao Muli looked at Maki Shinichi with some concern, "Should we replace Gao Sha?"

".No." Maki Shinichi looked at his teammates who were looking at him anxiously, "Substituting them not long after the game started would be a huge blow to A Shen and Xiao Tian."

"But." Gao Muli wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Mu Xinyi.

"Besides, replacing Gao Sha may not necessarily bring any substantial help to the situation on the court." Maki Shinichi took a sip of water and continued, "Instead of being unable to take care of both offense and defense, it is better to focus on fighting them. Basketball is ultimately a sport of who can score the most points, so just leave it to me."

"Let me explain." On the bench of Teiko Junior High School, Shirogane Kozo crossed his arms, "Next, Poseidon High School may make some adjustments to its lineup, so..."

"They won't adjust." Kaneki Ken interrupted Shirogane Kozo firmly.

"What did you say?" Shirogane Kozo looked at Kaneki Ken in disbelief and asked.

"I said, their lineup will not change." Kaneki Ken looked at Shirogane Kozo firmly, "Maki Shinichi is not the kind of guy who will give up easily. If they make a substitution at this time, it only means that Poseidon made a mistake in his decision. He has no way to lead the team to fight against us. And according to the current situation, both their strength and morale will not allow them to make substitutions less than two minutes after they came on the court."

"Ah, Yanzi, do I still have to run around with that guy?" Murasakibara Atsushi said impatiently.

"Haha, Murasakibara, are you going to admit defeat?" Aomine Daiki teased with a smile.

"Tsk, no, I just feel annoyed." Murasakibara Atsushi curled his lips, "If he comes to the inside, I will definitely crush him!"

"Don't be so violent, Murasakibara." Kaneki Ken smiled and pulled a handful of Murasakibara Atsushi's hair. "Since the opponent is determined to play with us from the outside, we will not let them succeed. Now it's time for you to show your skills, Murasakibara, Aomine. I only have one request, beat your opponent until Kaishin High School replaces Takasaki Shigenobu."

"Leave it to me." Aomine Daiki said excitedly.

"Okay." Murasakibara Atsushi scratched his head and responded lazily.

"Beep~" The referee blew the whistle to end the timeout. The penalty just awarded was one free throw and one throw, so the Teiko Junior High School team still has the ball.

"Aomine, catch the ball!" Kaneki Ken stood on the sidelines and sent a sideline ball.

"How does it feel to be a starter for the first time?" Aomine Daiki took the basketball and faced Oda Ryumasa's defense, assuming a triple threat stance.

"Heipi, don't be so arrogant!" Oda Ryuzheng replied angrily, sticking close to Aomine Daiki's body to try to stop him from scoring.

"It's useless." Aomine Daiki chuckled, dodged Oda Ryumasa's interception with a crotch kick, then suddenly accelerated and passed him cleanly.

"Chun, A Shen! Pay attention to the reinforcements!" Oda Ryuzheng turned around with a look of annoyance on his face to chase, but then he saw Aomine Daiki, like a leaping elf, using a crotch-piercing and turning movement to daze the two people who came to reinforce his defense.

"Haha, this ball is mine!" Qingfeng Daihui jumped up facing the unguarded basket and shouted excitedly.

"It's still early, kid!" At this moment, Maki Shinichi rushed over from outside the three-point line, and jumped up one after the other with Aomine Daiki, and blocked the basketball with his big hands.

"Times have changed, middle-aged man!" Aomine Daiki seemed to have expected that Maki Shinichi would come to help defend, and slowly took the ball back into his arms to avoid Maki Shinichi's block, and successfully scored the ball with a pull-up shot. "Good shot!" Tashiro Heihachi's excited voice rang out on the sidelines, "Aomine-san passed four people in a row, and with a beautiful pull-up shot, he tricked Maki Shinichi-san and successfully scored the ball! It is worth mentioning that Aomine-san has averaged 32.7 points per game since entering the national competition, which is 4 points higher than the county competition. He has become the second player in the history of the junior high school league to average more than 30 points per game after Kaneki Ken-san!"

"Imperial Light!", "Imperial Light!", "Imperial Light!".
Seeing the team they support score points one after another, the fans of Teiko Junior High School at the scene were actually even more excited. For a moment, the entire Tokyo Gymnasium seemed to have become the home court of Teiko Junior High School.

"The situation is not good now. The fans watching have been completely conquered by Teiko." Kiyoshi Teppei shook his head. "Poseidon High School hasn't even solved the problem of Kaneki Ken and center No. 7, and now a No. who is extremely good at causing damage inside has appeared. Teiko Junior High School is going to kill people to the end!"

"I guess that's it." Fujima Kenji sighed and said, "Since the start of the game, Poseidon High School has lost the inside line repeatedly, and the expected attack has not worked. If this continues, the players will lose confidence in themselves."

"Are you just giving up like this? Amu," Sendoh Akira sighed, thinking to himself, "If we keep coming back empty-handed like this, the score difference will be in double digits."

"Amu." Mibuchi Reio looked at Maki Shinichi in panic, stammering, not knowing what to say.

"Captain, how about..." Oda Ryumasa and Kamiso Ichiro lowered their heads and walked in front of Maki Shinichi, their faces full of frustration, "If it really doesn't work, let Gao Sha senior play."

"Huh." Maki Shinichi took a deep breath, wiped his face vigorously, and looked at Tsuchiya Jun with a firm gaze, "Jun, go serve."

"Ah? Oh." Tsuchiya Jun realized it later and reached the baseline, but the ball in the referee's hand was passed to Maki Shinichi.

"Everyone, raise your heads." Maki Shinichi calmly consoled them, "It was my decision to let you play. Whether you succeed or fail, I will be responsible. The previous few balls were just warm-ups. The game officially begins now!"

"Yes, Captain!" When the people from Poseidon High School heard Mu Xin's words, they all perked up and threw themselves into the attack.

"What's the matter, Senior Amu, you still haven't given up?" Kaneki Ken smiled as he looked at Makushin who was running towards him with the ball.

"You are indeed very strong, Kaneki." Maki Shinichi seemed not to have heard Kaneki Ken's almost provocative words, and looked directly into Kaneki Ken's golden eyes, "But you are not strong enough to make me give up!"

As Maki Shinichi finished his words, a majestic aura condensed into the shadow of a lion behind him. He suddenly exerted force with his legs, and the whole person shot out like a cannonball, and in the blink of an eye he broke through half a body length of Kaneki Ken.

"Haha, this is interesting, Amaru!" Kaneki Ken quickly adjusted his body shape and stuck closely to Maki Shinichi, leaving him no room to break through.

"Don't be so arrogant, kid!" Feeling the tremendous force coming from Kaneki Ken, Maki Shinichi gritted his teeth and rushed towards the inside. Seeing this, Murasakihara Atsushi couldn't help but take half a step towards the inside.

"Don't help defend!" Seeing Murasakibara Atsushi being attracted by Maki Shinichi's breakthrough, Kaneki Ken knew something was wrong and hurried to remind him, but it was too late. The basketball flew out of Maki Shinichi's hand and went straight into Tsuchiya Jun's hand.

"Tsuchiya, throw it quickly!" Mu Shenyi shouted loudly.

"Make it!!!" On Poseidon's bench, a group of bench players shouted at the top of their lungs.

"Leave it to me! Amu!" Tsuchiya Jun took a step back and came to the three-point line. He completely left Murasakibara Atsushi's coverage area and jumped up to shoot. "I will definitely make this shot for you to see!"

"Swish!" The basketball flew into the sky, drew a perfect arc and went into the net.

"Good shot!" Gao Muli excitedly clenched his fist and celebrated, "This is the ever-victorious Sea God who never gives up. Emperor Mu!"
