Rebirth of Akutsu, dominating the Black Basketball Team

Chapter 77 Loneliness
No matter how Shutoku and Midorima scored goals, Akutsu was able to respond quickly.

Time passed gradually, and soon the third quarter came to an end.

However, the gap between Shutoku and Jinno kept widening.

"A-Da, why does it seem like Midorima-kun has a harder time fighting after entering the zone?"

In the stands, Taoi asked Qingfeng with some confusion.

Hearing this, the rest of Tonghuang's team pricked up their ears, and they were also confused.

Obviously Shutoku had the upper hand at the beginning, and Kanno was constantly catching up.

But in the second half, the situation seemed to be completely reversed.

Seeing this, Qingfeng glanced at Akatsuki who was attacking with the ball, and then spoke:

"The so-called zone is, after all, just a state. Its effect is to greatly increase your concentration, thereby unleashing all your strength."

"There is only one reason for this situation, and that is the simple difference in strength."

"Shintaro has done a great job."

A zone can improve a player's condition from 80% to 100%, not from 80 to 100.

It is like an amplifier that can fully release the talents within the body.

Obviously, Midorima has also figured out this problem.

He looked unwillingly at Akutsu who scored in front of him.

"Beep~"

The whistle sounded at the end of the third quarter, and Jinno led Shutoku 88:72, entering the fourth quarter with a double-digit score difference.

In the rest area, everyone in Shenye was breathing deeply and replenishing water.

The continuous running for three consecutive quarters made all of them very tired, except Akutsu.

Akutsu sat calmly in a chair and covered his head with a towel.

The conversation between the coach and teammates gradually faded away.

He felt like an outsider and inexplicably felt lonely.

Before the game, Akutsu was looking forward to the match with Midorima because they used to be "the same kind".

However, when Akutsu actually fought Midorima, he suddenly felt disappointed.

Midorima also became a little "strange", as if he was in a different time and space.

And when Midorima shone and entered the zone, Akutsu was a little surprised. He thought Midorima could get closer to him like before.

But in the end, Akutsu was disappointed again.

Midorima is strong, but not strong enough.

"Perhaps, the road to becoming stronger is destined to be a lonely one~"

Akutsu no longer has any hope for his former "kindred members" other than Aomine.

The aura around Akutsu began to change, becoming more indifferent and oppressive.

"Di~"

When the whistle sounded to signal the start of the fourth quarter, Akutsu took off the towel on his head and walked into the court in silence.

The game begins again!
Shutoku has the ball, Takao receives it and passes it to No. 8 Miyaji Kiyoshi, who then passes it to No. 5 Kimura Shinsuke.

The basketball was quickly passed to Jinno's half by Shutoku and others, and the four seemed to have forgotten the existence of Midorima.

Akutsu stood next to Midorima and watched Shutoku's actions coldly.

"Even if I can't beat you, I will try my best to stop you for the sake of the team!"

Midorima said in a firm tone.

After three quarters of the game, his body was almost exhausted, especially after entering a zone of great consumption.

However, Akutsu, who was also in the zone and even stayed longer, looked very comfortable.

Akutsu didn't say anything, just stared at the basketball.

It was not until Takao caught the ball again at the top of the arc and passed it to Midorima in what he thought was a stealth move that Akutsu made his move. Compared to before, his speed was completely different. He intercepted the basketball in an instant, and then rushed into Shutoku's position alone.

At this time, the players of Shude had no time to react to this sudden situation, and Akutsu had already made it to the three-point line.

There was no violent dunk, just a light layup.

Smooth and natural.

This is the result of Akutsu's repeated efforts.

Seeing this, Shude's consultant Nakatani Hitoshi clenched his fists outside the venue.

This was the tactic he had arranged during the intermission just now.

First, use continuous conduction to pull Jinno's defense line, and at the same time confuse Akutsu's attention.

The ball was not given to Midorima until the very last moment when a goal was needed.

It now appears that this tactic was doomed at the outset.

In the next round, Akutsu again intercepted Shutoku's pass to Midorima, and then quickly counterattacked to score.

Even though Shutoku reacted this time and took up defensive position in advance, it was still useless against Akutsu's breakthrough and he was easily passed by.

92:72, the score difference has widened to 20 points.

But what made Xiu De despair was that they didn't see any chance of scoring at all.

They had the strongest outside shooter, Shintaro Midorima, but he had no chance to score at all.

“The momentum is completely different.”

In the Seirin management area, Kagami with forked eyebrows frowned as he looked at Akutsu in the audience, feeling a strong sense of oppression.

"Midorima-san is completely blocked by Akutsu-san. This is the first time I've seen Midorima-san so embarrassed."

Heizi next to him also spoke, his expression full of surprise.

In other locations, Haichang, Yangquan, Luoshan, and some other powerful schools also noticed that something was wrong.

Akutsu's aura became increasingly cold, and he stared at Midorima calmly.

However, such a calm gaze brought tremendous pressure to Midorima.

Through constant movement and the pick-and-roll by center Taisuke Ootsubo, Midorima widened the distance between himself and Akutsu and then jumped directly.

At this time, Takao also passed the ball to Midorima at the right time.

Alley-oop shot!

However, the next second, a figure rose up from behind Taisuke Ootsubo and directly caught Midorima's shot.

As soon as he landed, he started moving quickly, breaking through Taisuke Ootsubo beside him, and then rushed towards Shutoku's half of the field just like the previous times.

Midorima stood in front of Akutsu, opened his arms and stared at Akutsu, vowing to stop the ball.

Seeing this, Akutsu slowed down his pace slightly, and then suddenly started again.

One movement, one stillness, and then another movement, instantly made Midorima subconsciously retreat.

Akutsu took advantage of the situation to dribble with his back to the basket and then broke through Midorima diagonally.

However, after a slight delay by Midorima, the faster Takao had already returned to the three-point line.

Seeing Akutsu approaching quickly with the ball, Takao gritted his teeth and rushed straight into him.

Even if it is a foul, he has to stop Akutsu!

Takao's impact caused Akutsu's body to sway, but it did not stop him.

When he was hit, Akutsu jumped up and attacked in mid-air.

At the same time, the referee on the sidelines blew the whistle.

The three-point goal is valid, and one free throw is added!
　Many people criticized me, saying that it was not well written and that Akutsu was rubbish. Yes, I admit that it was not well written and that I failed to show Akutsu's extraordinaryness. The number of followers dropped by more than 700 in recent days, and I felt very uncomfortable. However, I accepted the criticism and did not delete the comments, except for a few that were particularly harsh. Thank you all for your support, which gave me a good start.

　　Thanks to Tian Bu Zai Zhuo Qing and Ben Dan Jiu for their monthly tickets, thank you for your support!
