"Even equipped with a translator, what kind of weird setting is this?"
Ryuhei Kasuga couldn't help but roast.
The team in front of him was really weird enough, from starters to substitutes.
"Too easy."
"Coach, what is too easy?"
"What else could be too easy? Of course, it's Seiho's scoring!"
Riko Aida roared at Koganei grumpily.
She could see it.
Seiho's offensive tactics were becoming more tacit with every play.
This tacit understanding couldn't be formed in a short time.
Including those professional teams; every time they changed tactics, it was carried out in advance after the offseason ended and before the preseason started.
But even so, many teams couldn't transform completely by the start of the season and had to go through many failed attempts.
Even the legendary coach Zhuge (Popovich).
After experiencing the failure in the finals against the super Heat.
He also spent more than a year to complete the team's transformation, finally completing a ruthless massacre of the super Heat in the finals.
Tactical transformation is a very difficult thing because not every player has such high IQ.
But now.
Seiho's variant Triangle Offense was rapidly approaching the direction of formation.
There was only one possibility.
Seiho's Number 10 Yuuto—he corrected himself silently, actively coordinating with his teammates!
Allowing Seiho to quickly complete a Triangle Offense suitable for them.
"Does this ability really have no limit?" She felt heavy inside, accompanied by a sense of amazement.
Yuuto's talent was simply appalling; he broke Riko Aida's perception of player limits.
On the court.
Seirin attempted to impact Seiho's entire defense line. But one quarter of time was enough for Yuuto to complete multiple corrections.
He began to move frequently.
That suffocating help defense ability made every Seirin player feel immense pressure.
Seirin's flank drives were completely blocked.
Perimeter turret Junpei Hyuga was defended by Tomoki Tsugawa to the point of having no shooting opportunities.
Clang!
The basketball hit the rim and bounced off; Izuki Shun missed a three-pointer.
Shooting threes wasn't his forte; he wanted to gamble on today's luck.
But luck didn't always favor him.
"Rebound!"
Taiga Kagami didn't need reminding; he had already rushed into the paint to fight for the rebound.
His rebounding sense was strong, accurately judging the landing point of the basketball, and relying on his superior jumping ability to suppress Iwamura beneath him.
"How high does this guy jump!"
No solid evidence to prove it since Iwamura didn't have eyes like Yuuto.
He only felt that this returnee in front of him seemed to jump higher than at the beginning.
But...
Slap!
Yuuto was a step ahead, extending his long arm to snatch the ball down.
"Yuuto!" Kagami gritted his teeth.
Hearing this, Yuuto didn't respond, landing and accelerating toward the other court.
Kagami chased closely behind him.
He even forgot about the score; his highly concentrated spirit was placed squarely on Yuuto.
Such a monster was rarely encountered even on the street courts of the US.
He moved his legs with all his might, crashing through the air to chase the figure of Seiho's Number 10.
Screech~
The two shook off the other eight players on the court, crossed the three-point line together, and completed a sudden stop almost simultaneously.
"How will he play this ball? How?"
Snap~
While Kagami was still thinking, Yuuto's body had already started again.
Secondary acceleration after a sudden stop—one of the ways talent monsters liked to use to shake off defense.
Kagami gritted his teeth and followed. His talent was top-tier, so naturally he wouldn't be shaken off so easily.
But.
When he retreated quickly to defend, Yuuto in front of him suddenly dissipated like a bubble.
"Th... What is this?"
He turned his head abruptly, only to notice Yuuto's figure had already stepped back outside the three-point line.
At this time, Yuuto.
Expression was very cold; the Dual Personality Shooter talent automatically activated.
"Heh!"
Gather, jump, release, hit.
The whole process was silky smooth, making one inadvertently intoxicated by it.
Isn't this kind of extremely concise basketball also a form of art?
At least Kagami was stunned, conquered by this beauty.
His body had been shaken down, falling on the floor, but his gaze was fixed on Yuuto's invincible figure.
It was also at this time that Kuroko's voice sounded again.
"The game is not over yet, Kagami-kun."
Kuroko's figure passed by him again.
...
Kagami's eyes instantly brightened.
Without any shame of being ankle-broken, he climbed up quickly and sprinted toward the front court with all his might.
Whoosh~
A person 1.9 meters tall, yet possessing athletic ability far exceeding Izuki Shun and Junpei Hyuga.
Like a gust of wind, he ran across half-court in one breath, starting later but arriving first, running at the very front of everyone.
"Bad!"
"Kagami!"
"It's that long pass coordination again!"
"Run!"
The expressions of players on both sides varied, but they all made the same instant decision—chase the ball/help defend immediately.
Boom~
Kuroko spun fully two times and fired violently.
Shooting from under Seiho's basket baseline, the basketball shot out like a cannonball, churning the air, briefly creating a vacuum zone.
...
However...
BANG!
At this moment, the air seemed to tremble.
The extremely fast-flying basketball was intercepted by a large hand before crossing half-court.
The loud noise lifted the spirits of the entire audience.
Only this time, the person catching the ball wasn't Taiga Kagami, but Yuuto.
He had his back to Kuroko, intercepting this super long pass as if he had eyes in the back of his head.
Yuuto turned back, his gaze sweeping lightly over Kuroko, causing the latter's pupils to contract violently.
This pass of his had never been intercepted before.
Whether in the Teiko period or the Homi Academy period.
"I didn't let you use this move against Teiko not just because the Generation of Miracles is very familiar with you."
"More importantly, such a move can only be used as a means of surprise attack. Once used, it loses its magic."
"Especially when facing me. Do you not even understand this, Kuroko?"
Yuuto spoke calmly, but his voice sounded as if emitted from an ice cellar.
Very cold.
He was a utilitarian basketball adherent; naturally, he had no affection for this flashy special skill.
Seeing this, Kuroko immediately mobilized all his strength to meet Yuuto.
He had recognized it.
The Yuuto in front of him had activated another personality within his body.
In this state, his shooting was incomparably deadly.
But Yuuto seemed to be able to see through him. The moment the two made contact, he turned around Kuroko with a gorgeous spin.
Waiting for him was only an undefended basket.
