"Well~~ After all, being able to meet such an opponent must be a rare experience for Murasakibara!" Kise Ryota said with some empathy.
"Maybe!" Midorima Shintaro nodded.
As both members of the 'Generation of Miracles', perhaps only Shintaro Midorima and Ryota Kise in the entire venue can understand the joy in Murasakibara's heart at this moment.
Geniuses are very lonely.
And a genius who can't even find an opponent is even more lonely.
At this point, Murasakihara Atsushi may be in a more serious dilemma than Aomine Daiki, because Aomine has at least encountered many opponents, and in the "Generation of Miracles", there is also Kise who can fight him.
.
But Murasakihara Atsushi could not find an evenly matched opponent even in the 'Generation of Miracles'.
Notice.
The 'opponent' mentioned here does not simply refer to victory or defeat, but a competition of the same level and level.
To explain it in a relatively simple way, it is probably an existence that can compete with him in the same position.
Murasakihara's talent is too strong.
When he was so strong in junior high school, even if he searched all over the country, he couldn't even find a player with comparable height and strength.
With such a terrifying talent, Murasakibara often finds it difficult to feel the joy of victory when facing opponents smaller than him, because in the eyes of others, even if Murasakibara defeats his opponent, it is natural.
And once he loses the game, Murasakihara Atsushi will completely become the opponent's backdrop.
Of course, this is not the most important point.
The really important point is that even the opponents who have defeated Murasakibara in the past have never been able to let him enjoy the fun of head-on confrontation. This is what really makes Murasakibara feel unhappy.
Even Akashi is no exception to this.
Junior high school period.
Murasakihara, who had just awakened his talents, once had a private duel with Akashi, and in that battle, Murasakihara suffered a disastrous defeat.
It was precisely because of this duel that Murasakihara followed Akaashi's orders, but this does not mean that it was an enjoyable duel.
But this time, although Murasakihara was still suppressed throughout the whole process, he really enjoyed the competition and the fun of challenging powerful enemies.
"I haven't seen Murasakibara showing his full strength for a long time. It seems that this game will become exciting soon." Kise Ryota sighed.
"is that so?"
This time, Midorima Shintaro did not agree with Kise Ryota. Instead, he looked at Murasakihara Atsushi who was gasping for breath with excited eyes in the Yangquan rest area and whispered: "In my impression, Murasakibara's physical strength is not so good."
Bad!"
······
The ten-minute intermission ended quickly.
As soon as the second half of the game started, the people in Yangquan smelled a dangerous aura like a beast from Akashi Asuka.
"You can actually control the 'wildness' freely?"
Masako Araki narrowed his eyes. ‘Wild’ is definitely not a common skill. Even when Masako Araki and others were playing professionally, there were very few players with this skill.
‘Wild’ does not improve the player’s strength or speed, it just gives the player an intuitive ‘prediction’ ability that is far more accurate and earlier than ‘prejudgment’.
In the third quarter, Zhengbang attacked first.
When Akashi Asuka dribbled to the outside, Murasakihara Atsushi quickly stepped forward to guard him. After all, facing Akashi Asuka with three-point ability, Yangquan could not wait until he rushed inside before starting to defend.
Akashi Asuka in the 'Wild Mammoth' state gave people a lazy feeling, but the moment he started to act, this feeling disappeared instantly.
The first person to bear the brunt was Atsushi Murasakihara. The moment Akashi Asuka started to charge forward, he seemed to really see a giant elephant suddenly rushing towards him. And just as he was stunned, Akashi Asuka suddenly took a step back and raised his hand.
Throw the basketball.
"Oops!"
Murasakihara Atsushi was shocked and hurriedly reached out to stop him.
But this time it was different from before. Even though Atsushi Murasakihara had taken off with all his strength, when he reached out his hand, he suddenly found that not only was he not close to the opponent, but the distance between him and the basketball was getting farther and farther.
A fadeaway three-pointer.
Akashi Asuka in his "wild" state has a more stable shooting posture, and because he can "predict" in advance, even if Murasakihara Atsushi wants to defend, he must not relax at all.
Whoosh!
The three-pointer goes into the frame.
40:29.
"嘁~"
Looking at the basketball falling into the basket behind him, Murasakihara Atsushi curled his lips in displeasure even though he didn't say anything.
Next round.
Murasakihara Atsushi immediately returned Akashi Asuka's goal under the basket.
After completely erasing the [Safety Line], Murasakihara Atsushi might be even better than Akashi Asuka at this time based solely on strength.
Although technology is not as good as humans.
However, with superior strength, Murasakihara can still stay at the basket on the offensive end and score points.
40:31.
But even so, Yangquan can only temporarily keep the point difference from widening. On the defensive end and rebounding, Akashi Asuka still has the upper hand.
The game has started so far.
Asuka Akashi has grabbed 13 rebounds, while Atsushi Murasakihara has only grabbed 3.
The gap between these rebounds is also the main source of the current point difference between the two sides.
The competition between the two teams became increasingly fierce.
The game continued until the 8th minute of the third quarter, and Zhengbang and Yangquan still maintained an evenly matched situation.
But at 8 minutes and 12 seconds, an accident happened suddenly.
This round it was Zhengbang's turn to attack.
What makes Yang Quan feel a little strange is that Zhengbang has chosen to attack from the outside in these rounds. Although this is not an illusory choice, with Zhengbang's current lineup configuration, it is obviously better to combine internal and external attacks.
It's the right choice.
However, most of the players in Yangquan were only slightly curious, because not long after the first quarter, the game had completely turned into an "ace battle" drama.
As for the other four players of the two teams, they have already begun full-time defense and have become the background of their respective teams.
Akashi Asuka once again jumped from the outside to shoot a fadeaway three-pointer, but this time Murasakibara was already on guard. Before Akashi Asuka could shoot the basketball, he had already jumped to block all shooting routes.
Asuka Akashi immediately pulled the basketball back and changed the shot into a pass.
After passing the ball to Kasuga Ryuhei on the side, Akashi Asuka immediately ran to another position outside the three-point line. After he stood still, the basketball was passed to his hands again.
Looking at the tacit cooperation between Zhengbang players, it is obvious that this is not the first time that Zhengbang has used this team technique.
Akashi Asuka used his teammates to avoid Murasakihara Atsushi and was about to take a second shot. However, the moment he took the shot, he saw another tall shadow suddenly appear in front of him.
Murasakihara Atsushi actually caught up with him again.
At such a speed, even Akashi Asuka couldn't help but shrink his pupils, but at this time, even Akashi Asuka had no time to stop.
Because at this time, Akashi Asuka had already jumped up and flicked his wrist to throw the basketball.
Akashi Asuka thought that his shot would be blocked, and he was even ready to return to defense. However, until the basketball fell into the basket, he still didn't see the big shot-blocking hand appear in front of him.
Because although he jumped up, Murasakihara Atsushi could not jump up...
