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

His shout was full of energy and resounded throughout the entire venue.

Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was entangled with Ikegami in the paint, was startled.

Before the mind could even process what "fusion" meant, the body had already formed a conditioned reflex.

The body reacts faster than the brain.

Sakuragi burst out of the paint like a red cannonball, instantly blocking the sides of Koshino and Uekusa.

Like a thick red brick wall.

"What?!"

The off-road vehicle crashed headfirst into Sakuragi's hard back muscles, feeling as if it had hit a truck, and grimaced in pain.

Taking advantage of this brief moment of opening.

Lin Bei moved one step to the left.

The view in front of me was open and expansive.

"Thanks, genius."

Lin Bei smiled and raised the basketball again.

Left hand holds the ball, right hand supports it.

A textbook pose.

Slightly bend your knees and jump.

That despairing feeling of being suspended in mid-air returned.

"Stop him!!!" Taoka Shigeichi screamed, clutching his head.

But it was too late.

The basketball slipped from his grasp.

Once again, it flew towards the dome of the stadium.

Everyone had to look up again, as if they were performing some kind of collective worship ritual.

Time was stretched out.

The basketball drew a perfect parabola in the air.

"Whoosh!"

Hollow-core netting.

85: 80.

"Wow! It went in again!"

"My God! Was that ball thrown from the second floor?"

"Is that number 16 a monster? He always scores as long as no one is defending him?"

The audience erupted in cheers.

Even Ryonan's supporters began to turn against him, cheering for this incredible shot.

"Did you see that!"

"This is the combined tactic of this genius and his master!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi was unaware of what had happened.

But when he saw the ball go in, he immediately put his hands on his hips and laughed triumphantly.

"That's called a pick and roll, you idiot."

Rukawa Kaede passed by and coldly delivered the final blow.

In the next few minutes, the match entered a breathtaking back-and-forth offensive mode.

The people of Lingnan are united in their efforts.

Uozumi took advantage of Akagi's still-healing injury and forced a basket under the rim.

87: 80.

Turning back, Lin Bei used the same trick again.

"Sakuragi! Combine!"

"Here I am!!"

Sakuragi was even more skilled this time, taking a big step to block Sendoh's attempt to come up for defense.

Lin Bei took a shot from two meters beyond the three-point line.

Extremely high arc.

"Whoosh!"

87: 83.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Taoka Shigeichi paced back and forth anxiously on the sidelines, his tactical board completely broken in his hand.

"Why couldn't we defend against it?! Why?!"

"He can make the shot as long as there's even the slightest opening?!"

Ryonan launched another attack.

Sendoh was exhausted from Rukawa's relentless pursuit.

He chose to drive and pass the ball, assisting Chi Shang for a mid-range jumper.

89: 83.

The score difference is 6 points.

There is only one minute left.

Shohoku launches an attack.

Lin Bei dribbled the ball, sweat streaming down his face.

"I'm exhausted..."

"This skill is accurate, but it's bad for your back."

Lin Bei felt his kidneys protesting.

But he glanced at the scoreboard.

"One more ball."

This time, all personnel in Ryonan expanded their defenses.

Even Uozumi mentioned the area near the free-throw line.

"We absolutely will not give him a chance to attack!"

Looking at the impenetrable defense, Lin Bei suddenly slammed the ball to the ground.

【Aomine Daiki - Ultra-high-speed dribbling】

The basketball seemed glued to his hand, flying around with the violent shaking of his body.

Off-road and grass planting instantly caused them to lose their center of gravity.

Lin Bei drove into the three-point line.

Just when everyone thought he was going to make a layup, he suddenly stopped and stepped back.

They retreated back to the three-point line.

Take off.

"Don't even think about it!"

Immortal Dao attacked from the side, his long arms covering the sky and the sun.

But Lin Bei's backward lean was astonishing; he practically threw the ball while lying in the air.

The ball passed over Sendoh's fingertips and flew into the sky.

Everyone's heart was in their throat.

"Thump, thump, thump."

The basketball bounced twice on the rim.

Then, it obediently rolls into the net.

89: 86.

The point difference is only 3 points!

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

On the Shohoku bench, everyone stood up, linked arms, and shouted at the top of their lungs.

Coach Anzai pushed up his glasses, and a flash of white light appeared on the lenses.

"Sakuragi-kun, Rukawa-kun."

Coach Anzai's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of the two players on the field.

"Sandman, get on board!"

Upon hearing this order, Sakuragi and Rukawa were both taken aback.

The two exchanged a glance.

It was as if sparks were bursting in the air.

"Huh? Dad, are you kidding me?"

"You want me to work with this dead fox?" Sakuragi looked disgusted, as if he had stepped in dog poop.

"don't want."

Rukawa Kaede was even more decisive, turning around and leaving.

Sakuragi gritted his teeth.

Rukawa Kaede clenched his fist.

"cut!"

"snort!"

The two turned around at the same time, their faces clearly showing their reluctance, but their bodies honestly moved closer to Sendoh.

At this point, there are 30 seconds left in the game.

Lingnan ball rights.

Sendoh holds the ball.

He looked at the two figures, one in red and one in black, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"Spare me."

"Isn't this kind of treatment a bit too extravagant?"

On the left is Sakuragi Hanamichi, whose physical abilities are abnormal, and he looks like a crab with his claws outstretched.

On the right is Rukawa Kaede, a skilled and fierce-looking man, poised to pounce like a cheetah.

Double-team!

"Stop him!!" Akagi roared in the paint.

Sendoh took a deep breath.

Since we can't avoid it, let's just charge at it.

"Slap! Slap!"

Sendoh's dribbling frequency increased instantly.

He first feinted to the left, causing Sakuragi to shift his center of gravity.

Then he suddenly changed direction to the right and forcefully broke through Rukawa's defense.

"Too naive!" Rukawa Kaede held his position firmly.

But the instant they made contact, Sendoh used an incredibly smooth turn to squeeze through the gap between them!

"What?!"

Rukawa Kaede's pupils suddenly contracted.

"That broom head is so slippery!" Sakuragi tried to grab it, but missed.

Breakthrough!

Sendoh has broken through Shohoku's two strongest defensive lines!

Ahead lies a smooth road.

If this ball goes in, the game will be over.

Taoka Shigeichi clenched his fist, a look of triumphant joy spreading across his face.

"We won! Ryonan won!"

Sendoh dribbled towards the basket, preparing to finish the game with a safe layup.

however.

Just as he gathered the ball and started to move.

A very unsettling feeling suddenly welled up inside me.

It's too quiet.

Why... does it feel like someone's missing?

wrong!

Where did number 16 go?

The moment that thought flashed through my mind.

A hand appeared beneath the basketball without warning.

There was no sound of wind.

There was no murderous intent.

It's as if a hand was originally growing in that spot.

"Snapped!"

A soft sound.

The basketball in Sendoh's hand has disappeared.

Sendoh maintained his layup stance, but his hands were empty.

He lowered his head in astonishment.

"Huff... huff..."

"I'm exhausted..."

"Luckily, I made it in time."

Lin Bei held the ball, his dead fish eyes staring at Sendoh, a smug, wicked smile playing on his lips.

"Sendoh-kun."

"Keep an eye on your things."

With the highly noticeable presence of Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede surrounding Sendoh, the situation became much more challenging.

Lin Bei successfully minimized his presence.

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

"They stole the ball!!"

"It's that invisible number 16!"

"Quick attack! Quick attack!"

"Lin Bei! Pass the ball!"

Takenori Akagi reacted the fastest, pointing at the front of the field and shouting.

Rukawa and Sakuragi had already shot off like arrows.

Three-pronged fast attack!
