Kuroko: I had already won the championship before the miracle happened.

Aomine Daiki, who was standing by, didn't say anything, but he had the same worry.

Obviously, at Teiko, because of the violent performances of Shigure Akito and Nijimura Shuzo, their understanding of basketball regarding point differences seemed to have deviated significantly.

how to say……

If other teams heard what was just said, they would probably think it was outrageous, right?

What is called……

The difference is only 30 points...

You know, the game has only been going on for one and a half quarters...

Assistant coach Naoto Sanada glanced at Haizaki Shogo with a frown on his face, and Aomine Daiki, who was looking at Shigure Akito intently, waiting for an answer.

Then, he heard Shigure Akito's response.

"Don't worry, we'll defeat him in one fell swoop. I'll leave you with plenty of playing time. However, if you can't handle it in the second half, of course, I'm talking about those little tricks. At that time, I will be ready to play at any time."

"27 next... 27..."

"Akagi..."

"You should go off and rest first."

Akashi Seijuro was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but the next second he received an explanation from Senior Shigure.

"If Nijimura and I are not here in the second half, you will be the point guard, dealing with the 'Spider Web' and organizing the offense at the same time."

"Also, we need to completely defeat Hanamiya Makoto. Although your passing method was very beautiful, for Nijimura and I, another method is indeed more direct and effective."

Speaking of it.

Shigure and Nijimura looked at each other.

Nijimura Shuzo: "Use 1v1."

Shigure Akito: "He intercepted the ball, so why not just not pass it at all."

The two said at the same time.

Hear the words.

Aomine Daiki's eyes lit up, and he was about to raise his hand to say, "I can do it too," when he heard Captain Nijimura's cold words: "To break Hanamiya Makoto's 'spider web' of passes, we need to minimize the number of passes that could be intercepted."

"Akaashi's way is one of them."

"in addition……"

"Increasing isolation opportunities for our most efficient offensive players is another way."

"Provided that……"

"You have the ability to consistently play like a team with the help of your teammates even in the inevitable double-team situation."

Qingfeng Daiki: "..."

In the double-team situation, the team offense has the same single-player hit rate. If it were any other team, Qingfeng would definitely stand up and pat his chest to guarantee it.

But here, this is Teiko, and Qingfeng, who watched the entire qualifying round from the sidelines, knows very well what kind of terrifying goal efficiency the seniors' team attack has.

At this time, the whistle sounded.

The pause ended and Nijimura Shuzo stood up.

"Everything is about victory. As long as we follow the team's needs and make the right choices, then no matter what the performance is, the content of the game..."

“It’s all about the team in the end.”

He glanced back at Aomine Daiki.

"Even if it's a singles match, the meaning is completely different. I hope you don't misunderstand me."

"Qingfeng."

the other side.

"It's already 34 points behind!"

"At the start of the second quarter, we completely failed to block Teikou's pass as planned. Damn it! What's wrong with that first-year kid?"

"Let's not talk about that for now..."

"The most difficult one is Shigure Akito. We can't attack within his defense range at all. But...how big is that defense range?!"

"Everyone has to be careful to avoid him, and every attack requires torturous maneuvers to find blind spots in his defense. It's so annoying!"

Listening to the complaints of teammates.

Hanamiya Makoto's face was gloomy.

then……

Before going on the court, he snorted coldly, "In that case, before the second quarter, it will be okay to just kill Shi Yu Qiu Ren directly, right?"

……

Players from both sides take the field.

Because it was a timeout after Jinjia Academy got the ball, after returning, the current offensive round was still Jinjia Academy's offense.

at this time.

Hanamiya Shin naturally couldn't give up his strongest weapon, the Spider Web, but at the same time, he had an additional mission for the remainder of this quarter...

Find a way to get rid of Shi Yu Qiu Ren!

snort!

The provocative and aggressive moves at the beginning are meant to get the opponent's head spinning.

So……

The reverse is also true.

If the attack, which had been dormant for half a quarter, suddenly reappeared, even Shigure Akito would be caught off guard.

While thinking this gloomily, he took the ball from the baseline just as Hanamiya Makoto was about to advance with the ball.

Look up.

"what?!"

"After Teiko's replacement, the one defending Hanamiya Makoto turned out to be the 'Lion' Nijimura Shuzo!"

"Eh?"

"I remember……"

"Nijimura Shuzo is the power forward?"

"Don't let him fool you. Last year, he played point guard in the final against Okayama. There's no position he can't play except center."

"Um……"

"The other one is even scarier. He's even tall enough. I heard he can play all the positions in the qualifiers."

Amidst the exclamations from the audience stands, Nijimura Shuzo bent his knees slightly and stood in front of Hanamiya Makoto.

He remembered the simple scoring contest he had with Shi Yu on the court, which dated back to the game last year when his 'Wildness' awakened. If it were him last year, he would never have imagined that he would have made this much progress this year.

Boom~!

Wild!

The lion's spirit pressed forward!

As the body quickly followed up the confrontation, Hanamiya really controlled his movement and became completely stiff!

"Spider web..."

"How should we fight against a lion, Hanamiya Makoto?"

the other side.

At the moment when the lion burst out with full power, Imayoshi Shoichi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead, because this meant that the Teiko Twins were going to take action against Hanamiya Makoto.

and……

It really lives up to its reputation!

Speaking of defense alone, a power forward can actually completely lock down a national-level point guard!

On the Jinjia Academy side, because of Shi Yu Qiuren's "ultra-wide range defense", they have been playing a fast advance, in order to prevent Shi Yu Qiuren from stabilizing his defensive position so quickly.

therefore……

When Hanamiya Shin just crossed the halfway mark, he was locked in place by Nijimura Shuzo.

The players from Jinjia Academy were already in Teiko's half, each taking up their offensive positions and starting to run.

Then it was very strange. There was no pass from Hanamiya Makoto at all. When I turned around, I saw Hanamiya Makoto trying his best to keep control of the ball in front of Nijimura Shuzo. He seemed to be stuck in a deep muddy pool. Under the oppressive defense that targeted his flaws, until the end, he was even forced to choose to protect the ball with his back to the goal.

The movement was suddenly slowed down until it came to a standstill!

Pa~!

A fatal flaw was revealed!

Nijimura Shuzo decisively hit the ball out, and then followed the ball and quickly attacked the opponent's half!

And so far, Hanamiya Makoto has not been able to get the ball close to the three-point line!

Finally breaking through 180, Nijimura Shuzo accelerated like a hunting lion, caught up with the ball, and then jumped into the penalty area!

gliding!

One-handed chop!

"Ahhh! What kind of defense is that?!"

"The number one seed in a region, their star point guard was cornered and unable to move an inch?!"

"Hongcun Construction..."

“It jumped much higher than last year!”

"This is terrifying! Nijimura Shuzo's agility is visibly faster than Hanamiya Makoto, a serious point guard. They're completely on a different level!"

On the field.

Hua Gong Zhen was completely stunned, his face turned frighteningly dark.

I can't believe it in my heart...

The person who was defended to the point of being in a mess just now turned out to be me.

he……

Hua Gong Zhen?

The Jinjia team members quietly returned to their half-court to support and attack again, but it was still Nijimura Shuzo who came to guard Hanamiya Makoto.

But this time, before Nijimura got close, Hanamiya Makoto immediately passed the ball to Jinjia No. 13 who came to support. After the previous defense, Hanamiya Makoto even gave up the function of advancing the ball.

After falling into the position.

During the transmission process, Hanamiya Shinya was almost transmitted at the touch of a button.

Based on the route he had analyzed in his mind in the first quarter, he quickly and accurately passed the ball to Jinjia No. 11 who was using a pick-and-roll to create distance in the penalty area.

"Good post."

"Flower Palace."

After receiving the ball, Jinjia No. 11 wanted to shoot immediately, but he didn't expect that the gray-haired freshman who replaced Hongcun as the power forward caught up with him before he could shoot!

whispering sound!

Teiko's...

Why are both of them so difficult to deal with?

"Takato!"

Jinjia No. 11 was calling out to No. 10, the guy who always had a toothpick in his mouth and looked scoundrel-like on the sidelines. At some point, he had taken advantage of the restricted area confrontation here as a screen.

After running over, pass the ball hand to hand!
