Kuroko's Basketball template: the king of slacking off, Shohoku's strongest sixth man.

Although it doesn't have the fantastical special effects that Kagami Taiga has when entering the "Zone".

But this is pure violent aesthetics.

It was enough to suffocate the entire audience and make everyone's heart stop for a second.

59: 49.

The point difference is back to 10 points.

Lin Bei landed.

There was no hanging frame, and no roaring.

He simply patted the dust off his hands and looked at Sendoh, who had a blank expression on his face.

"How is it?"

"How does this shot compare to your three-pointer?"

His tone was so calm, it was as if he were asking, "What are we having for dinner tonight?"

Sendoh paused for two seconds.

Then he laughed.

This time, the smile lacked the gentleness of before.

The sense of complete control and composure that once existed is gone.

Instead, there was a kind of exhilarating excitement.

Like a sleeping beast that has finally smelled blood.

BOSS.

We've entered the second phase.

"sharp."

Sendoh took a deep breath and scratched his signature spiky hair.

"That's... amazing."

"Although I hate to admit it, you are ridiculously strong right now."

Sendoh picked up the basketball from the ground, his eyes becoming sharp as knives, his aura fully unleashed.

"but……"

"That's precisely why beating you is so much more interesting, isn't it?"

……

Lingnan ball rights.

This time, Sendoh's aura completely changed.

If he was previously a commander who handled things with ease...

Now, he is a god of war charging into battle.

He advanced the ball at an extremely fast pace.

Rukawa Kaede tried to step forward and force the ball back.

"Whoosh!"

A simple behind-the-back dribble, followed by a quick spin move to get past the defender.

The movements were so fast that even the afterimages were not visible, as if the fast-forward button had been pressed.

Before Rukawa could even react, he was left behind, unable to even see the taillights.

"So fast!!"

Rukawa Kaede was terrified, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.

This guy... he was holding back his strength just now?!

Although he doesn't have Lin Bei's unreasonable physical abilities.

But when Sendoh gets serious, his technique, awareness, and sense of rhythm are still among the best in Kanagawa.

He is definitely a level above Rukawa Kaede now.

"That's amazing!! Sendoh!!"

Just then.

On the bench of Shohoku High School.

Suddenly, a cheer erupted, which was extremely inappropriate and could even be described as "treason."

Everyone was stunned.

Akagi Takenori turned his head, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets, his veins bulging as if they were about to burst.

Sakuragi Hanamichi was standing on a chair.

"Go, Sendoh!!"

"Defeat that stinky fox!!"

"That's it! Well done! Give him a good beating!!"

He was waving a towel.

They cheered for their opponents with such excitement that they were even more professional than the Ryonan cheerleading squad.

"Sakuragi! You bastard, whose side are you on?!"

"Are you betraying us?! You traitor!"

Mitsui Hisashi was so angry he almost kicked him.

Sakuragi Hanamichi completely ignored the anger of the crowd.

He stood with his hands on his hips, nose in the air, looking smugly at the field.

That look in his eyes was filled with a sense of superiority, as if he were the only one who was sober while everyone else was drunk.

"Hmph, mere mortals."

"What do you know? This is tactics! This is strategy!"

Sakuragi was conducting a meticulous logical deduction in his mind, making him a veritable "logic genius".

If Sendoh defeats Rukawa.

That proves that Sendoh > Rukawa.

Then, that lazy master Lin Bei will definitely defeat the immortal path.

That proves that Lin Bei > Xian Dao.

At last!

As long as this genius learns all of that lazy master's special moves, then I can defeat him!

That proves that Sakuragi Hanamichi > Hayashi Kita.

According to that...

The principle of transitivity?

Sakuragi Hanamichi > Hayashi Kita > Sendoh > Rukawa Kaede!

This is a perfect logical closed loop!

"Hahahaha!!"

Sakuragi couldn't help but burst into laughter, his mouth practically watering.

It was as if I could already see myself standing at the top of the world.

"So, wouldn't that stinky fox be at the very bottom of the social hierarchy?"

"I'll directly defeat Rukawa and Sendoh, and become the leader of Kanagawa..."

"No, he's the number one high school student in all of Japan!"

"I really am a genius!! This win is incredible!"

As for how to defeat that overpowered master Lin Bei?

Sakuragi touched his chin.

that……

Things will work themselves out!

Once I've learned all his "Meteor Dunk" and "Super Invincible High-Speed ​​Dribbling" techniques...

Hehehehe... This advantage is on my side!

"What's that idiot grinning about?"

Ryota Miyagi looked at Sakuragi with disdain, as if he were looking at some kind of single-celled organism.

"I guess... his brain has finally completely broken down."

Kiminobu Kogure pushed up his glasses and sighed helplessly.

His eyes were filled with loving kindness towards people with intellectual disabilities.

On the field.

After Sendoh got past Rukawa, he faced Akagi, who was there to cover for him.

A perfectly executed layup, avoiding the block.

The ball spun around the rim a few times, as if teasing everyone's nerves, before finally reluctantly falling into the net.

59: 51.

Sendoh Akira is using his own power to forcibly prolong Ryonan's life.

Lin Bei looked at the spirited, spiky-haired man and couldn't help but shake his head.

"This is such a hassle..."

"A boss even has a second-stage transformation? Who's the game designer?"

"It seems you won't admit defeat unless I really beat you to a pulp."

Lin Bei twisted his neck, making a cracking sound.

The glint in his eyes grew ever deeper, like a black hole about to devour everything.

"Then let's go."

"Let's see if your second-stage stubbornness is better than mine..."

"Oh no, it's because I have great talent."

……

The oxygen in the stadium seemed to have been sucked out.

With each breath, my lungs felt like they were being pumped by a bellows, burning with pain.

Ryota Miyagi dribbled the ball past half-court, his palms so slippery he could barely hold onto it.

Although no one was pressing close to me.

But he felt a chill run down his spine, a feeling of being targeted by a top predator creeping up his spine.

The source of the pressure is right across the street.

The man with the broom-like haircut is Sendoh Akira.

"Tch, don't look down on me!"

Miyagi gritted his teeth and stomped his feet hard, trying to accelerate.

But just as they started moving, a shadow loomed over them.

It's not a fairy road, it's a "closed-off" encirclement by off-road and grass-covered terrain!

Ryonan's defense has changed.

They were no longer passive punching bags, but a group of sharks that had smelled blood and began to tear at each other frantically.

"Damn it!"

Miyagi was forced to stop the ball, his eyes frantically scanning the entire field.

Rukawa Kaede?

No.

Although the immortal path was not close to him.

But that positioning was like that of a seasoned hunter, ready to cut off passing lanes at any moment.

Akagi?

Uozumi was clinging to him like a wrestling bear, and the hand-to-hand combat was in full swing.

only……

"Catch the ball!!"

With a roar, Miyagi tossed the ball to the wing as if it were a hot potato.

There, Lin Bei was standing slouching.

"Smack."

Catch the ball with one hand.

The moment the fingertip touched the ball, a one-second vacuum appeared in the previously noisy stadium.

All eyes were instantly focused.

Because at the very moment Lin Bei received the ball.

Sendoh, who was originally monitoring Rukawa Kaede, suddenly appeared in front of Lin Bei as if he had activated a teleportation cheat.

The two were less than a meter apart, their eyes meeting.

It sounded as if there were high-voltage sparks crackling in the air.

"So enthusiastic?"
