Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: So He's a Kobe

The game continued.

The score on the court became 26:16. The first-years chased back 4 points with two counterattacks.

**Yamanaka Yuta** received the inbound pass from his teammate and personally brought the ball up the court.

Until now, he still didn't quite believe that he had been stripped by a rookie twice in a row.

Crucially, he couldn't even clearly see how he was stripped.

Seeing that the head coach's attention was also drawn here, he had even less reason to retreat.

As the third-year seniors graduated to high school, his ambition this year was not small. He swore to become a **Teiko** regular, not a substitute.

At such an important moment, he certainly couldn't become a stepping stone for a first-year.

*Bang, bang, bang~*

He slowly dribbled the ball to the top of the three-point arc, waving his hand to signal his teammates to clear out.

He wanted to isolate.

Then, he focused his mind, lowering his center of gravity to the position most suitable for an explosion.

The next second, without waiting for **Tendo Keigon** to react, he launched directly.

A typical one-trick pony player.

Through two encounters, Tendo Keigon judged why this player with super strong explosive power couldn't become a regular.

He relies too much on explosive power, always attempting to shake off the defender in one step and then rush to the basket to finish the job in one breath.

Meeting someone slow, it's indeed easy to beat them black and blue with one move.

But Tendo Keigon is obviously not that kind of turtle.

Moreover...

"**Dismantle (Kai)!**"

With a silent shout, the basketball in Yamanaka Yuta's hand hit the floor hard and bounced.

Just as he dribbled, it was cut away by Tendo Keigon again.

Fast as lightning, he didn't even know when it was cut.

"Like this again!"

Yamanaka Yuta gritted his teeth. Although he accelerated past Tendo Keigon in one step, the crucial basketball was left behind him.

**Shirogane Kozo** also widened his eyes slightly.

From the sidelines, even he couldn't see Tendo Keigon's move clearly.

Like a *batoujutsu* (sword drawing technique) slash, fast, accurate, and ruthless. The moment the sword left the sheath, victory and defeat were decided.

By the time the opponent reacted, their vitality had been stripped away.

*Bang!*

The basketball was cut down by Tendo Keigon's hand blade and smashed heavily onto the floor.

"Your dribbling emphasis is too focused on your right hand, Senior!"

Tendo Keigon left this sentence, and in the next second, picked up the bouncing basketball and rushed out.

In this world, most people are born with a dominant hand. Only a very few are natural "ambidextrous" users, including professional players.

But professional players will practice hard to make both hands as nimble as possible. If they don't do this, their breakthrough intentions will be extremely obvious.

While speaking, Tendo Keigon rushed halfway across the court in one breath.

His speed was extremely fast, at least outstanding among the crowd of new students.

Shirogane Kozo only heard a *whoosh*, and then Tendo Keigon had killed his way into the enemy's territory.

From Tendo Keigon's steal just now to the current counterattack, Shirogane Kozo could be sure that this handsome first-year boy was definitely a genius.

That kind of dynamic vision and explosive speed could be called top-tier among all the middle school students he had seen.

*Good guy, opening an SSR from a blind box?*

It happened sooner than words could describe.

Tendo Keigon had killed his way into the enemy territory in a few breaths.

However, the Second String's defense recovery was also fast. Having been hit with two counterattacks in a row, they were prepared.

"I won't let you pass, first-year!"

The senior in front of him didn't know if he was a second-year or third-year.

His defense method was to first roar loudly to scare the rookie.

Tendo Keigon was how old inside? How could he be scared by a little brat?

"I didn't plan to go past!"

Tendo Keigon immediately decelerated, simultaneously turning around and leaning back with his back.

This lean directly kept the defender from getting close.

But Tendo Keigon's performance wasn't over. The moment he leaned on the defender, he immediately borrowed the force to jump up, completing a turn in mid-air, while raising both hands above his head, his legs swinging gently.

It was the classic turnaround fadeaway jumper!

At this time, the Second String player defending Tendo Keigon was powerless to reverse the situation. He couldn't even interfere and could only watch helplessly as Tendo Keigon shot the basketball with an extremely elegant posture.

"Damn it, I can't do anything..."

*Clang!*

"Ah?"

The Second String senior, who was disheartened a second ago, suddenly heard the crisp sound of iron striking and instantly came alive.

Turning his head to look, sure enough, the basketball Tendo Keigon shot hit the rim solidly.

'What a piece of iron oxide!'

'He appeared, the disciple of **Kobe**!'

'The crisp sound of striking iron is so melodious...'

'The shooting posture is indeed handsome, but the way he strikes iron is truly wretched!'

'Hahahaha, Heaven is indeed fair!'

The bullet comments also began to revel at this time. It had the same wondrous effect as **Sakuragi Hanamichi**'s slow-motion close-up dunk that ended with his head hitting the backboard.

This kind of contrast was too funny. One second Tendo Keigon was torturing the Second String senior to death, with three consecutive steals, forcing the opponent to the brink of collapse.

In the end, he turned out to be a Kobe!

Seeing Tendo Keigon's smiling face suddenly freeze on the spot, the bullet comments laughed until they were almost out of breath.

Shirogane Kozo was also almost driven to losing his breath by this strong contrast.

But he quickly adjusted.

Let him strike iron; with that kind of talent, what more do you want?

Where in the world are there so many max-level accounts for you to pick up?

Just when everyone thought Tendo Keigon's performance was about to end.

Someone on the court shouted loudly, "Rebound!"

That Second String senior instantly snapped back to reality, turning around to rush towards the landing point of the basketball.

But fast as his reaction was, there was someone whose reaction and speed were faster than his.

It was precisely that white-haired brat who just made the loud iron-striking sound!

Clearly having just completed a shot, a high-difficulty fadeaway jumper, yet after landing, he started up and arrived first, passing right by him.

"You guy, stop for me!" he roared, reaching out to grab something, but didn't even grab a hair.

Tendo Keigon couldn't possibly stop.

He was always clear that to become the King of Popularity in the *Kuroko's Basketball* world, the stats must be beautiful!

His speed increased instead of decreasing, running to the basketball's landing point in one breath and picking up the ball.

The next second, under the astonished gaze of the entire audience, he leaped towards the basket.

*Strange feeling!*

Clearly something he couldn't do in his past life even wearing KD12s, he felt he could do it now.

Without undergoing specialized testing, he had a premonition in his heart.

His body was very light, as if he was going to fly.

In fact, in the eyes of others, Tendo Keigon really seemed to be flying.

Under everyone's gaze, Tendo Keigon changed from grabbing the ball with two hands to grabbing it with one hand, approaching the rim bit by bit, until he smashed it down fiercely with one arm...

With a *BOOM*, the entire Teiko instantly went quiet.
