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

With a roar, Miyagi transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged forward.

Behind them, Akagi and Sakuragi landed at the same time.

The two exchanged a glance, then snorted at each other in disdain before turning their heads away.

But the sense of an unbreakable defensive line sent chills down everyone's spine.

in the audience.

Aota Tatsuhiko loosened his grip on the railing, a relieved smile spreading across his face.

"Oh……"

"Looks like that idiot Akagi has finally found his soul again."

On the other side, Maki Shinichi, who had been silent all along, looked at Akagi, who was carrying a large bag on his head but exuding an imposing aura, and slowly spoke:

"really."

"When Lin Bei is on the field, his strength is indeed a headache for the opponents."

"But only Akagi returned..."

Mu Shen paused for a moment.

His gaze swept over the roaring Akagi, the sprinting Miyagi, the cool Rukawa, and the leaping Sakuragi.

"Shohoku is a complete army."

"That gorilla is the true backbone of this team."

……

In a few seconds, the situation reversed.

On the Xiangbei side, the heart was originally hanging in suspense because of Akagi's foot injury.

This brutally beautiful block forced me back down, replaced by a surge of adrenaline.

"Well done!!"

Ryota Miyagi dribbled to steady his rhythm, roared at the backcourt, his face covered in sweat but unable to hide his wild excitement.

In contrast, the entire Ryonan group was deathly silent.

Jun Uozumi stood under the basket, his chest heaving violently, his eyes fixed straight ahead.

"Hold on! Get back on defense!"

Sendoh Akira's voice rang out, still calm, but his speech was noticeably faster than usual.

He gave the red-haired boy, who was rubbing his forehead, a deep look, his brows furrowing slightly.

There are too many uncontrollable factors in Shohoku's history.

The game continues.

Miyagi didn't give Ryonan a chance to breathe, although they didn't manage a quick attack.

But he dribbled steadily past the halfway line and raised his index finger – positional warfare!

Akagi Takenori moved towards the inside, leaning against Uozumi.

Position yourself, extend your hand, and ask for the ball.

His back was broad and sturdy, like a mountain.

"Give me the ball."

Akagi's voice was deep and carried an undeniable authority.

With a flick of his wrist, Miyagi lobbed the basketball precisely into the paint.

"Smack."

Akagi caught the ball and slammed his back into Uozumi behind him.

The impact refocused Uozumi's unfocused pupils.

He pressed his grip firmly against Akagi's lower back, and the anger he felt from being humiliated by Lin Bei and mocked by Sakuragi was now transformed into a twisted competitive spirit.

"Akagi..."

"Stop pretending! You're at your worst today!"

Fish gritted his teeth, the sound squeezed out from between them.

Akagi ignored him and tentatively lowered his shoulder.

Sensing the lack of support behind him, Uozumi regained some confidence.

He immediately switched to trash talk mode in an attempt to distract Akagi:

"Your feet must hurt a lot, right? You can barely stand up, can you?"

"Admit it, Akagi, you can't beat me right now!"

"You can only barely hold me off with that red-haired kid's help, how pathetic!"

Uozumi increased the pressure on his hands, sweat dripping down his rough cheeks:

"It's only natural that I beat you now!"

These words sound like a declaration from the strong, but in reality, they are self-hypnosis from the weak.

Akagi paused for a moment.

"Uozumi, you talk too much nonsense," Akagi replied coldly.

Just then, a red head sneakily emerged from the blind spot.

Sakuragi Hanamichi stood with his hands on his hips, staring at Uozumi with an expression that said, "Look at me like I'm an idiot."

"Hey, boss monkey."

Sakuragi's uniquely roguish voice instantly dispelled the tense atmosphere.

"Are you out of your mind?"

他伸出小拇指，极其欠揍地掏了掏耳朵，对着鱼住弹了弹空气。

"It's normal for gorillas to be out of sorts for a few days every month."

"but……"

Sakuragi grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth.

He pointed to himself, then to Lin Bei, who was wrapped in a towel on the sidelines:

"Isn't this genius expert here?"

"Besides, what right do you have to yell at me?"

Sakuragi's eyes suddenly sharpened, switching to a heart-piercing mode:

"You're nothing but a monkey who was beaten so badly by my master that he doubts his existence and is now crawling on the ground looking for his mother."

"When my master was torturing you like a primary school student, why didn't you say it was only natural?"

crit.

True damage +10086.

Uozumi's originally dark face instantly turned liver-colored, veins bulged on his forehead, and his blood pressure spiked.

"You...you red-haired monkey..."

Uozumi was so angry that he trembled all over, and his breathing was as heavy as a broken bellows.

This is Sakuragi Hanamichi, who comes with a maxed-out talent for "teasing people's minds".

With just one sentence, you can accurately step into your opponent's minefield, and then dance on it.

Take advantage of the moment when Uozumi's defense is breached.

Akagi moved.

There are no fancy moves, only pure physical confrontation.

"Bang!"

The impact, like that of a heavy tank, directly pushed open the fish's center of gravity.

Even though his ankle was still hurting, Akagi didn't utter a sound.

Turn around, dribble the ball, and jump!

"Don't even think about it!!"

Uozumi's anger at being humiliated caused him to react dramatically, roaring as he forcefully jumped to block the shot.

Two mountains of flesh collided in mid-air!

"Drink it all!!"

A pure contest of strength, a battle of wills.

Akagi exerted force with both arms and forcefully pushed Uozumi away.

But he was stopped by Uozumi.

The floor shook as the two landed.

Uozumi staggered backward, his eyes wide with horror: This is a wounded soldier?

But Akagi didn't give him a chance to breathe.

The moment of landing, a second jump!

"Roar!!"

Akagi gripped the ball with both hands, his body taut like a full moon bow, all his anger gathering in his arms.

"King Kong - Slam Dunk!!!"

Its momentum was overwhelming, as if it were about to shatter the basketball hoop.

Uozumi's knees buckled, and he couldn't jump in time. He could only watch helplessly as Akagi blocked the light.

The entire audience rose to their feet, ready to receive this powerful dunk.

Just when things were at their most critical moment.

A ghostly figure appeared behind Akagi without warning.

fast!

too fast!

Even Lin Bei, who was "sleeping" on the sidelines, slightly opened his eyes as they approached the end of the game.

Immortal Dao.

He was like an unpredictable gust of wind, swooping in from the flank and landing in the most vulnerable position.

Akagi was completely unaware.

Just as the ball was about to go into the basket.

A long, slender, fair hand extends precisely and coldly.

*Smack!*

Crisp, yet heartbreaking.

Sendoh slapped the side of the basketball, also shattering Shohoku's morale that was about to be secured.

"Sendou!!"

The Ryonan bench erupted in cheers as if they had escaped a desperate situation.

The basketball changed its trajectory and flew straight into the sky.

Akagi's dunk attempt missed, and he landed heavily on the ground, turning around to face Sendoh's unfathomable eyes.

"I'm sorry, Captain Akagi."

Sendoh said calmly, "I can't let you score this ball."

However, Sendoh's smile froze instantly.

Because he discovered that high in the sky, there was a red figure rising at an extremely high speed, defying the laws of physics.

That is……

"Sakuragi?!!"

The audience gasped in surprise.

Sakuragi Hanamichi shot into the sky from the crowd like a red rocket that had been ignited.

His jumping height even exceeded that of Akagi and Uozumi just now!

Red hair burned under the lights, and eyes sparkled with a pure yet fervent light.

"Hmph!"

"This genius expected this long ago!"
