Kuroko's Basketball: I'm not the boss?

A powerful and swift pass was precisely delivered to Xiangyang.

Wow, that kind of ball is really hard to catch.

Xiangyang grinned and dribbled towards the frontcourt, while giving a signal to Kohori. At this moment, Touou only had Imayoshi in the backcourt!

A fast break, two against one? You must be kidding me.

Qingfeng, his face contorted with rage, rushed back from Haichang's half of the field. He looked at Xiangyang running ahead and reached out to grab the ball... but missed.

Xiangyang turned his head and looked at Qingfeng with a smile. The ball that had just been dribbling in Qingfeng's hand had vanished.

At that moment, Kasamatsu, who had run to the corner, received a pass at some point and was ready to shoot. He looked at the basket in front of him and took a deep breath.

I must make up for my mistake just now!

beep—

Haichang 3 points are effective!!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Aomine, but a team is stronger than an individual. Besides, Ryota told me that Virgos have the best luck today, and coincidentally... I'm a Virgo too."

The point difference has reached 12 points again, with four minutes remaining in the final quarter.

Chapter 49 Concealing One's Skills Until the End

In a normal game, if the score difference is still in double digits after four minutes, that team is basically doomed. But that man was Qingfeng.

Xiang Yang believed that if Qingfeng took control of the pace of the game, the outcome of the match would be uncertain.

"Genius, it's up to you now. Give it your all on defense!"

Kise grabbed his collar to wipe the sweat from his face, and after hearing Xiangyang's words, he gave him a thumbs up.

"Of course, I'll stop him!"

However... that's what I say, stopping Aomine is absolutely impossible for me right now.

Kise frowned. Even if he imitated Aomine's playing style, he was still being severely suppressed against Aomine in Zone mode. Is it really true that only you can defeat "you"...?

"I never thought I would do this one day," Kise sighed softly, then closed his eyes.

Aomine, who was just about to take the ball and attack, was stunned. He saw Kise open his eyes and his aura changed.

Kagami, standing in the audience, looked up in astonishment at the scene. His voice trembled as he said, "Kise... copied me?"

Imitating Vulcan?

Aomine curled his lip. Did he really think Kagami could defend against me now? How naive of him, Kise!

Xiangyang, panting with his knees bent at the bottom corner, nodded slightly. It seemed Kagami's current strength was insufficient, as evidenced by Kise's ability to easily imitate him. However, Kagami's defensive abilities were still very strong; his superhuman jumping ability was a significant advantage in aerial combat. His only weakness was his current offensive capabilities; his breakthroughs weren't threatening enough, and he even lacked a three-point shot. But for Kaijo at this moment, as long as they could stop Aomine—no, stall Aomine—that would be victory.

A wise choice, Ryota. But can Kagami in his normal state really stop Aomine?

Qingfeng answered this question with his actions.

It was still that same fast, almost foul-like first step breakthrough, easily leaving Kise behind, and then rushing into the paint area and leaping.

Don't even think about it!

Kise roared inwardly. He immediately turned around and rushed behind Aomine, using Kagami's jumping ability to leap into the air.

We've hit the jackpot!

Kise was secretly delighted, but before he could even smile, Aomine steadied the ball, readjusted, and completed a powerful dunk in mid-air!

The audience erupted in cheers! That shot would be absolutely explosive even in the NBA.

"But that blond guy from Kaijo almost popped out!"

"Yeah, yeah, and Haichang is currently leading by 10 points, so their chances of winning are very high!"

Upon entering the zone, Aomine's hearing was enhanced. He heard the whispers of the audience on the sidelines and smiled disdainfully.

Almost? What a joke! What good would it do to imitate that useless guy?

Thinking of this, Qingfeng glanced at Kagami in the audience.

Vulcan shuddered, thinking to himself: Why do I have this feeling that I'm the one getting beaten up on the field... How weird.

Xiangyang glanced at Kise, who was hanging his head in silence, clapped his hands, and shouted, "Cheer up, everyone! We're not just going to take a beating! Four minutes left, one more goal and we'll lock in the victory!"

The game continued, and Haichang launched an attack.

Xiangyang's calm ball control and push

He wants to maximize his own offensive time to reduce Qingfeng's attack attempts.

Imakichi was also helpless about this. He really didn't dare to go up and steal the ball from Hikaru. If he got beaten again and the score gap continued to widen, Touou would be completely out of the game.

While dribbling the ball, Xiang Yang glanced at the scoreboard out of the corner of his eye. With 7 seconds left on the shot clock, Xiang Yang seized the opportunity and delivered a high pass to Xiao Jue. Xiao Jue mustered all his strength, jumped up, and tried to dunk over Hai Chang to score two points.

Unfortunately, Touou's defense was very tenacious, and Kohori missed his dunk.

"Feel sorry!"

Kobo quickly raised his hand to apologize. At such a crucial moment, every missed attacking opportunity reduced the chances of winning!

No one responded to him because... the ball that Kobo had spiked didn't go out of bounds, but flew straight towards the midfield.

Aomine's eyes sharpened, and he immediately turned and rushed over. Kise, not to be outdone, switched back to imitating Aomine and followed closely behind.

As luck would have it, the basketball landed right in front of Xiangyang, who was holding the basketball and looking at Qingfeng with a smile.

Aomine spat and slowly retreated, adjusting his defensive position. He needed to stay near Kise.

Xiang Yang glanced at the time; there were still three minutes left. He was really patient, confident that he could catch up with 10 points within three minutes, so why wasn't he coming up to steal the spotlight?

The clock was still running out, and the pass was given to Kasamatsu on the outside, but unfortunately Kasamatsu missed the shot.

With the final moments approaching, every player is under immense pressure and their stamina is almost depleted, making it easy for their shooting form to become distorted.

"Sorry! It's mine."

After calming his teammates down, Xiangyang pursed his lips and looked at Qingfeng, who was holding the ball and preparing to break through. He couldn't help but think to himself: "Does this guy really never make a mistake? We've been fighting for over forty minutes, and he hasn't given us a single opening."

At this moment, Qingfeng's movements remained swift. Even when facing the help defense of three or four people, he remained calm, slightly shifting his body in the air, and once again put the ball into the basket.

Two points from Touou are valid.

With two and a half minutes remaining in the game, Haichang is leading by eight points.

Everyone in the stadium sat up straight; this round of Haichang's attack would determine the outcome of the match!

"If this ball goes in, the score difference will be in double digits again, and Touou will be finished."

Kuroko glanced at the scoreboard and said expressionlessly.

Takao chimed in, "On the contrary, if they miss that shot, Kaijo goes three rounds without scoring; they're having a scoring drought in the final moments..."

"The rhythm will return to Touou's hands."

Xiangyang stood a step away from the three-point line, holding the ball. His eyes kept glancing at his teammates. Tonghuang's defense was very tight; except for the area where Aomine was located, the other areas were completely sealed off.

Imakichi adjusted his glasses as he stood inside the three-point line, pondering the various offensive options available to Hikaru.

Will they call a pick and roll? Or will they pass to Kise? The previous offensive plays have already shown that his teammates aren't shooting well...

At that moment, Xiangyang waved to Xiaoxi, and when Imayoshi saw this gesture, his eyes sharpened.

This time... I'm absolutely going to stop your pick-and-roll!

Imakichi roared inwardly, constantly adjusting his position to...

This allows for better handling of various options after a screen is set up by the sun.

However, fate seemed to be playing a cruel joke on him.

Just as Kogoro stepped up to set a screen, Xiangyang didn't accept the screen. Instead, he jumped and launched a three-pointer from a step outside the three-point line!

The ball traced a beautiful arc in the air.

Xiangyang stared at the ball, muttering, "This is the killer move I've been saving for last. It would be a real pain if it missed." Xiangyang's new talent—the super long-range three-pointer—he hadn't used it even once! He was just waiting for a crucial moment like this to deliver the final blow to his opponent.

Imakichi stared blankly as the ball flew over the arena and swished cleanly into the basket.

At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: Why does he still know this trick?

beep—

Haichang Sanfen is effective

After a brief silence, the arena erupted in cheers. All of Haichang's substitutes ran to the sidelines, raising their hands and mimicking Xiangyang's three-point celebration gesture.

Coach Takeuchi excitedly punched the air.

Xiangyang's teammates rushed over and hugged him, ruffling his hair.

Two minutes later, with an 11-point difference, the game was decided, and a super long-range, near-game-winning three-pointer!

Qingfeng sighed slowly. He hadn't expected this guy to have such a trick up his sleeve. All his efforts had been in vain.

He walked up to Imayoshi and patted Imayoshi's butt.

Jinji shuddered, snapping out of his daze. He was prepared to get beaten up, as Xiangyang took turns scoring on him. He failed to complete Qingfeng's task in the fourth quarter, and in the final moments, Xiangyang hit a near-game-winning three-pointer.

Even if he were beaten to a pulp by Aomine right now, he would still think it was deserved!

However, Qingfeng simply patted his butt and said in a deep voice, "Serve! There are still two minutes left in the match. Finish it."

Upon hearing Aomine's words, Imayoshi could no longer hold back. Tears streamed down his face as he repeatedly apologized. If he hadn't been crushed by Xiangyang like that, they shouldn't have lost, given Aomine's strength.

"Remember how you feel now, bespectacled guy. When winter comes, give it all back to them."

Chapter 50 Guidance

Thank you for your guidance!

The match ended with Haichang winning 104-98.

The players from both sides bowed to each other and then shook hands.

When it was Xiangyang's turn to fight Qingfeng, Xiangyang reached out his hand and looked up with a smile, saying, "Well done, Mr. Qingfeng."

Qingfeng was surprised; he thought this foul-mouthed kid was going to give him another barrage of trash talk.
