Chapter 10 The Slap in the Face Comes so Quickly
Sometimes, a slap in the face comes so quickly.
Crewe, who had just looked down on Sashiro, was blown past him in one step before he could even make any defensive moves and then watched him score a dunk!
Everyone present was utterly shocked. They couldn't believe it. The guy whose physical test showed a jumping ability of only 40 centimeters could actually jump so high! The height of that dunk was at least 70-80cm! This was unbelievable! And his explosive speed just now was incredible. Not to mention Crewe himself, even the audience around him didn't clearly see what happened. Sashiro was like a bolt of lightning – too fast!
After seeing this performance, the coach clenched his fists in excitement. My choice was right! As expected, Sashiro just now wasn't serious! The explosiveness Sashiro just demonstrated and his control of timing are definitely at the NBA level! Perfect! This is a talent that only comes once every 10 years! True genius!
But in fact, Sashiro didn't try his best in that dunk. After all, they were still in the warm-up phase. It was a bit too early to use all his strength.
On the other side, Crewe still couldn't believe that he had just been defeated by Sashiro! This was simply outrageous! But at this time, Crewe calmed down. After all, physical test data cannot be falsified. Sashiro was just an ordinary passerby. He must have taken it too lightly just now and hadn't reacted quickly enough.
Yes! That must be it! I was just careless. As long as he takes it seriously, there is no way he will be able to get even one point from him! Absolutely not.
At this time, Crewe was finally ready for battle, and this time he carefully observed all of Sashiro's movements. Now, Sashiro's movements seemed much slower in his eyes, and every action was clearly telegraphed. He was delighted.
"Sure enough, it was because of my carelessness just now! I see his movements clearly; there's no way he can get past me!"
But what Crewe didn't know was that the slowness this time was only because Sashiro himself slowed down. Sashiro dribbled the ball with a hesitation, executed a disguised misdirection, and his body's center of gravity was directly pressed onto his right leg. These movements weren't done quickly, and Crewe could see them clearly.
"He's going to break through to the right!"
Crewe adjusted his steps in time and threw himself completely into the attacking lane on Sashiro's right side. But thanks to Emperor Eye's ability, Sashiro had already foreseen these actions. Sashiro had already seen that he would defend on the right side, and this was exactly the trap he set! The moment Crewe shifted his center of gravity, Sashiro made a drastic change.
!!
For a moment, Crewe was stunned. How is this possible?! I have clearly seen through his moves; how could he possibly get past me?! Crewe wanted to rush forward and make up for the defensive position he had lost. But how was this possible? In a trance, he just felt his feet go soft.
Bang!
Crewe lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.
"Damn it! He fell down!?"
"You can knock someone down even if you're that slow?"
"This is outrageous! Isn't Crewe's defense very good?"
"Isn't this guy an ankle breaker in his previous life?!"
"I feel so bad for Crewe; is his ankle okay?"
"How can this Asian defender be so strong!?"
...
And on the other side, Sashiro simply glanced back at him, then took a slow three-step layup and scored easily. This basket was completely different from the previous one! In that shot, Sashiro's unparalleled explosive power and sense of timing directly froze Crewe in place. But this time, his strong sense of rhythm and ability to shift his center of gravity were like magic, knocking Crewe down on the spot! And everyone could see that the speed of his shot wasn't fast at all!
The audience around was utterly surprised.
"Oh my God, how did he do that?!"
"Is this guy the same person as the one who did the physical test just now?"
"It's as if he had arranged everything in advance. How is this possible?"
"This dribbling rhythm is so perfect; it's simply art!"
After seeing Sashiro's performance, the agent kept shaking his head and exclaimed in amazement, "Unbelievable! Unbelievable! This guy actually beat Crewe so badly that he couldn't even fight back!?"
The team's agent knew that although Crewe's character was indeed questionable, his ability was undeniable. He possessed outstanding explosiveness and static talent and had good basic skills on both offense and defense. Not only could he initiate offense, but he could also be the team's defensive anchor. Crewe could definitely be considered a pretty good player! But at this time, under Sashiro's attack, Crewe looked like a child who had just learned to play basketball. He had no ability to fight back at all! Even, he couldn't cause any interference to Sashiro's attack! This was simply a fantasy!
In response to the agent's sigh, the team's head coach Holland just smiled and nodded continuously. "I told you this guy is a genius, a genius who can change our team!"
"Oh, my god! God, even now I can't believe it; what you said is actually true!" The team's agent shook his head and sighed.
However, he still had a question in his mind. That was the data from the physical test just now. Sashiro's data was obviously not very good. However, the data just now couldn't support Sashiro's current performance. What happened just now? Thinking of this, he asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Then why were his physical test data so mediocre just now?"
The team agent raised this question very seriously, and he hoped that Coach Holland could give him a reason. However, the coach simply said, "He wasn't serious just now."
???
"Not serious? Is this true?" This reason is too simple!? I have little education, so don't fool me!
However, Coach Holland looked determined and analyzed the situation with him seriously, "I'm not kidding you; it's obvious that this is his personality! You can see the same thing in his game against Irving. In the early stages of the game, he was too lazy to even jump, but he was still able to score! If it weren't for the dunk he showed at the end, I would even think that his physical fitness was just average."
"Folding dunk!?" The team agent was stunned. How strong a core strength is needed to perform such a move in actual combat!! Could it be that this Asian defender in front of me did it!? This is horrible!
Coach Holland continued, "I think the main reason he does this is because his strength is beyond ordinary people, and winning the game is also a very easy thing for him, so he doesn't need to try his best every time. That's why, normally, he looks like an ordinary person. Got it!"
Listening to Coach Holland's serious and nonsensical analysis, the team agent actually thought it made sense. "That's right, a coach is a coach; he has such a unique vision! After what you said, everything makes sense!!"
At this point, no one seemed to care whether Crewe could win or not. Everyone's attention was on Sashiro. Everyone was amazed at the unparalleled talent displayed by this Asian defender!
Sashiro kept scoring over Crewe. The one who threatened before the game that Sashiro wouldn't be able to touch the ball even once – Crewe – was now the one who hadn't touched the ball once!
Score.
Score!
Score again!
Under Sashiro's attack, Crewe could only be played around in his hands! At this time, Crewe had completely lost his usual rhythm and was exhausted and out of breath. Sashiro looked at him with a relaxed expression and said casually, "Didn't you say you were going to beat me until I kneeled down and begged for mercy? How come you got tired so quickly? With that last ball, I'll send you home."
