Seeing that Kuroko was about to commit a violation while holding the ball, Hinata Junpei finally ran outside and found an open space.
Kuroko decisively passed the ball out, but Hinata Junpei had just received the basketball when Omuro Yoshiichi unceremoniously chased after him. Even though he was two or three meters away from the three-point line, Omuro Yoshiichi Ichiya didn't give him any room to take action.
"There really is no room left at all!"
The sweat accumulated on Hinata Junpei's forehead has almost wetted his glasses. This is the first time since the qualifying match that he has felt such strong defensive pressure.
"Last year we had three times the difference, but this year we weren't careless at all?"
Hinata Junpei didn't say these words, but Omuro Giichi on the opposite side seemed to hear his voice and suddenly said: "Careless? How is that possible! Facing a team that can defeat Xiudoku. Team, no matter what we say, we will never underestimate you!"
"What's more, your team also introduced a 'Generation of Miracles' this year - the Sixth Man of Fantasy."
If all the previous disadvantages only made Hinata Junpei feel pressure, then when Omuro Giichi said the existence of "Kuroko Tetsuya", for the first time, an extremely uneasy premonition emerged in Hinata Junpei's heart.
These people actually know about the existence of Heizi?
As a teammate, Hinata Junpei knows better than anyone how easy it is for people to ignore Kuroko's weak presence. Even in game videos or even photos, Kuroko is often subconsciously ignored by their opponents.
At the same time, he also knew better than anyone that it was not a bad thing for Heizi to be ignored.
Quite the opposite.
Once Kuroko's existence is taken seriously by his opponents, it will be the biggest disaster for Shiro Rin.
"You actually pay so much attention to us. I really don't know whether we should feel honored or sad."
Hinata Junpei was dribbling the basketball. He wanted to laugh now, but no matter how hard he tried, he found that he couldn't laugh at all.
"Hinata, pass the ball!"
Yi Yuejun worked hard to get a gap.
Hinata Junpei had no chance to take action and was completely unable to break through, so he decisively sent the basketball to Itsuki Jun.
Afterwards, Itsuki Jun opened his 'eye of the eagle' and passed the ball to center Mitobe from a blind corner defended by Kasuga Ryuhei. Mitobe caught the ball and shot, but as soon as the basketball left his hand, Tsutomu Iwamura was A slap came down.
"This second-rate attack power cannot break Zhengbang's defense!"
"Beep~~~"
Just as Iwamura Nobu missed the ball, a dull electronic whistle sounded slowly over the court, signaling the official end of the first quarter.
Glancing at the 17:0 number on the scoreboard not far away, Asuka Akashi shook his head and walked out of the stadium like a slut.
The entire first quarter of the game.
Except for the blocked shot at the beginning, Akashi Asuka felt like he was traveling on the basketball court, and even the sweat from the warm-up had cooled down.
"Ah~~~It's so free!"
······
“Oh oh oh oh~~~”
"Zhengbang is so strong!"
"Sheng Rin didn't even get a single point. He really deserves to be called 'Tokyo's No. 1 Iron Wall'."
When the first quarter of the game ended, there was an uproar in the audience. After all, no matter what the game is, it is quite rare to be able to defend your opponent to the point where you cannot even score a point in the first quarter.
Hearing the discussions around him, even Kise Ryota felt a little unconfident for a while, because judging from the strength shown in the first quarter of the game, although Zhengbang's defensive level is strong, it should not be able to defend Shirin.
Can't get a single point!
"Captain, is Zhengbang that strong?"
"Zhengbang is also an extremely rare strong school in the country. It goes without saying that it is strong." Kasamatsu Yukio replied.
But then the conversation changed and he continued: "Of course, these alone are not enough to defend Cheng Rin to this point. The real reason why Zhengbang did not allow Cheng Rin to score a single point was mainly because they paid enough attention to it.
This team is Seorin.”
"Pay attention to?"
"Yes, Cheng Lin is a new school and a new team. And a new team means that there is little foundation, so most backbone teams, including ordinary teams, easily underestimate Cheng Lin's strength.
"
"And even Xiude, who understands their strength, and we, Hai Chang, basically subconsciously look down on others because we have a 'generation of miracles' like you in the team. This is a subconscious behavior, even if we say it verbally
Even though we take it seriously, there will still be some 'carelessness' in our hearts after all."
Speaking of this, Kasamatsu Yukio also glared at Kise Ryota angrily.
In fact, in the practice match at the beginning of the school year, if Kai Chang had not been too careless, he would not have lost to Cheng Rin. After all, the gap between Cheng Rin and established strong schools like Kai Chang at that time was still very large.
Kise Ryota shrank his head and smiled flatteringly.
Kasamatsu Yukio continued: "But Masakuni is different. There is no 'genius' in this team. Even Akashi Asuka may be very strong, but he didn't have the slightest fame in junior high school, so they don't have the capital to be proud of, so naturally they
I won’t underestimate any team.”
"But then again, although Zhengbang is not careless, I didn't expect that they could study Cheng Lin so thoroughly and pay such attention to it... But this is definitely not a big deal for Cheng Lin.
That’s the last good thing.”
······
Two minutes later.
The second quarter of the game begins.
"I feel like Cheng Rin's momentum is a little different!" In the second quarter of the game, everyone from Zhengbang just came on the field, and they noticed that Cheng Rin's momentum seemed to have changed a little.
"Probably they are preparing to use their 'Fantasy Sixth Man'! Everyone should be prepared and guard against their opponents in the next game. No matter what strange passes you see, don't be confused.
Formation, do you understand?" Tsutomu Iwamura spoke.
"clear!!!"
"Yoshi~~ Let me bring more pain to that guy next!" Tsukawa Tomoki's eyes lit up, showing an expression of anticipation.
In the second quarter, Cheng Lin attacked first.
Because they had been reminded in advance, at the beginning of this quarter, Zhengbang's defensive intensity not only did not drop, but even faintly improved again by a few points.
With such intensity of defense, let alone offense, it became difficult for everyone in Cheng Lin to even pass the ball.
"It's really terrible! If this continues, let alone dealing with Akashi, Iwamura and the others alone will be enough for us to drink." Hinata Junpei stood on the outside and suddenly threw the basketball casually.
