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

Qingfeng tried hard to connect with his teammates, but his passing skills were really not impressive.

When the Kaijo Recording Room played the replay of the Touou vs. Seirin match, Aomine made a pass that flew directly over Imayoshi's head and hit a lucky spectator on the head. The scene made Hikaru laugh so hard that he fell flat on his face under his seat.

"Actually, you don't have to follow Akashi's route."

Xiangyang gave Qingfeng a deep look, and his words were loaded with meaning.

"Try to trust your teammates. The ace just needs to do his job as the ace."

Aomine remained silent. He couldn't fully understand Xiangyang's meaning, but Xiangyang didn't care. He would just give Aomine a little pointer. Why would he personally teach Aomine how to deal with Tonghuang? He wasn't that idle or that shameless.

"Oh, they've entered."

As Rakuzan and Seirin entered the stadium at the same time, cheers erupted from the audience. However, most of the cheers were for Rakuzan's name, since the support from the audience was far lower than that of a team that hadn't even made it through the qualifiers, given that the runner-up of the summer season was a team that hadn't even made it through the qualifiers.

Xiangyang scanned the field and found that the starting lineups for both sides were almost identical to those in the summer season, except that Shirorin's center position had been changed to Kiyoshi Teppei.

Are the five generals without titles truly "iron-willed"?

In the world of basketball, where tactics are scarce, this center is decades ahead of his time.

The unique position of center forward was rare even in Xiang Yang's previous life.

I'm kind of looking forward to seeing the current Shiro Rin team.

Aside from Kagami, who is on par with the Miracle, there's the best sixth man, Tetsuya Kuroko; the top three shooting guard in the original work, Junpei Hyuga; the top three point guard in the original work, Shun Izuki; and the newly joined center, Teppei Kiyoshi, one of the Five Uncrowned Generals, who is ranked second in the original work.

What's going on? This is clearly the second Luoshan.

Xiang Yang chuckled to himself, secretly anticipating the outcome of the match.

"Please both sides line up to salute."

"Please advise!"

Chapter 99 Opening Tactics

"Senior Kiyoshi, may I jump the ball?"

"Huh? Although you have an advantage in height, your offensive rhythm... I understand, you can jump, it's fine."

"Hi!"

……

Both sides prepare for the jump ball.

The referee walked to the center circle and signaled for the players from both sides to come forward for the jump ball. Kagami and Genbu stepped forward at the same time and stood inside the center circle.

"Huh?? Should we let Kagami jump the ball?"

Xiangyang, sitting in the audience, looked surprised. In the past, it was always Kiji who jumped the ball in Shiro Rin.

"A secret weapon?"

beep—

Before Xiangyang could think it through, the referee blew his whistle, and the basketball was tossed high into the air.

Vulcan's eyes sharpened, and he quickly jumped up, managing to return the ball to his own half before Genwu could do so.

"Tch, he can jump so fast."

Genwu's face showed a hint of surprise; Vulcan's jumping ability exceeded his expectations.

Before Rakuzan could even get into a defensive position, Izuki dribbled the ball twice and threw it towards an empty spot in the attacking third. Unsurprisingly, Kuroko was there. Without any hesitation, Kuroko took a deep breath and pushed the ball out with one hand, changing not only the passing trajectory but also increasing the speed of the pass.

Accelerate the pass and return!

An orange shadow flashed across Rakuzan's half of the court in an instant. Hayama, who was closest, tried to intercept, but ultimately failed to catch up.

The basketball weaved through the crowd and landed directly in Vulcan's hands.

Oh no! When did this guy...?

Akashi frowned slightly; he had already foreseen the outcome of this ball.

Undeterred by Genwu's help defense, Vulcan leaped directly towards Genwu, his astonishing height leaving Genwu speechless once again. Vulcan, in mid-air, used his height advantage to slam the ball straight into the basket!

Shiorin's two points are valid!

Within ten seconds of the start, Shiro Rin took the first attack by using Kagami's jumping ability and Kuroko's accelerated pass!

"This isn't over yet."

On Shiro Rin's bench, Reiko lightly bit her nails, a slight smile on her face.

This tactic was specifically devised not just for the sake of seizing the first attack...

In the audience, Qingfeng narrowed his eyes and said, "That move just now... was the 'trigger' I taught him."

Hmm? If that's the case...

Xiang Yang's eyes flickered slightly as he re-examined Vulcan on the field, a look of surprise appearing on his face.

That guy... entered the zone!

"That female coach at Shiro Rin is something else."

Masako rarely praised the opening tactics of Shirorin, saying they were perfect. Even if Yosen were to defend this ball, they would most likely have succeeded without knowing the situation.

Even Xiang Yang remained silent, pondering the possibility of Hai Chang defending the ball.

The answer is also no. Kuroko's assistance further amplifies Kagami's role! It's very difficult to defend against without knowing the situation.

……

On the court, Kagami, having entered the zone phase, repeatedly charged into Rakuzan's paint, leaving his opponent Hayama completely overwhelmed and unable to defend him.

On Rakuzan's offensive end, Akashi's passing was still very lethal, but unfortunately, in terms of scoring efficiency, Kagami after activating his zone truly deserves the title of "comparable to the Generation of Miracles".

"This guy is just like you."

Xiangyang sighed, seemingly impressed by the ball between Kagami and Aomine.

The styles are different, but if you observe closely, you'll find that their playing styles are the same! It's just that in Touou, Aomine holds all the power, while in Shirorin, Kagami focuses on doing his own thing, and the ball possession is still distributed by the seniors in Shirorin.

Aomine remained noncommittal, then slowly said, "Given that guy's personality, he won't allow Kagami to keep fighting like this."

Just three minutes into the game, Vulcan, in zone mode, took over the match.

With a 10:4 advantage, Shirorin is in the lead.

The coach from Rakuzan wasn't in a hurry, and didn't even call a timeout. Given Akashi's decisiveness, his role as coach was practically negligible...

Akashi clapped his hands and said loudly, "Keep this pace on offense. On defense, Hayama, switch with me."

Even though Ye Shan has surpassed more than 99% of his counterparts in the small forward position nationwide, the one and only 1% are all in other teams from the same year as him.

Without any controversy or doubt, even though Akashi reverted to his first personality after losing to Kaijo, in Rakuzan, his words still carried the weight of imperial edicts.

In Shiro Rin's attack round, Kagami was just about to attack when he noticed that the defender in front of him had changed. Hayama had become Akashi. His footwork paused for a moment, then became decisive again. He opened his arms and looked at Itsuki with burning eyes.

Pass it over here! If we can suppress Akashi here, believe me!

Izuki saw Vulcan's action immediately, and after a brief hesitation, he still passed the ball to him.

Vulcan in zone mode is very reliable.

"Huh? Ace against ace, huh?"

Xiang Yang rested his chin on his hand, a look of anticipation on his face. He was also eager to know what level the God of Fire was at now.

After receiving the pass from Izuki, Kagami took a deep breath and did not attack immediately.

Akashi's expression remained unchanged, his pupils moved slightly, and his defensive movements were very casual.

The two remained locked in a stalemate for about five or six seconds before Vulcan made a feint with a jabbing step and broke through on the left to score.

Akashi leaned slightly forward, and through the observation of the Emperor's Eye, he had already seen Kagami's movements, and he made a steal and slapped the ball.

Kagami frowned slightly; his Zone state gave him a reaction boost. Akashi's steal didn't completely disrupt his offensive rhythm. After a slight adjustment, Kagami still managed to get the ball and rush into the paint, leaping over Nebu again for a meteor dunk, scoring two more points!

Good shot!

Xiangyang couldn't help but sigh in admiration. He hadn't expected Kagami to actually beat Akashi in the ace duel. Then, he suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Aomine, "If you and Akashi were to fight one-on-one, who would win?"

Aomine was taken aback. He scratched his head and hesitated before answering, "Probably... it's me?"

"So weak? Kagami scored directly against Akashi."

Xiangyang gave him a disdainful look. Of course he knew that Akashi hadn't gotten serious yet, but why not take the opportunity to tease Aomine?

Sure enough, after hearing Xiangyang's words, Aomine's face turned red with anger. He stretched his neck and explained, "That's because Akashi wasn't serious! Don't tell me you didn't see it!"

"I won't listen," Xiangyang shook his head like a rattle drum, and simply covered his ears. Qingfeng directly pried his hands off and loudly explained again into his ears.

Momoi, watching the two interact, smiled knowingly and thought to herself: These two are really on good terms now! They used to be like enemies to the death.

……

"The look on your face makes it seem like you think you've got me cornered."

On the court, Akashi, with a calm expression, dribbled the ball with one hand and walked to Kagami's side.

Ace Showdown Part 2!

This scene immediately caused Aomine and Xiangyang to stop their playful fighting and sit up straight to look at the court.

come on!

Kagami slapped his cheek, unleashing a wild power that pressed down on Akashi.

He wants to suppress Akashi on both offense and defense!

Chapter 100 Kuroko's Unique Attack

boom!

boom!boom!

A few simple crossover dribbles, seemingly unremarkable, subtly shifted Vulcan's center of gravity.

With his enhanced dynamic vision thanks to Zone, Akashi's movements were clearly visible, yet his body seemed to be locked in place, unable to react at all.
