As the electronic whistle sounded, the match between Xiude and Tonghuang officially began.
The centers of both teams jumped up to compete for the ball at the same time. The first one to win the ball was Shutoku's Taisuke Otsubo. The basketball was shot into the hands of Takao Kazunari, who turned and passed to Shintaro Midorima.
Whoosh!
After a round of refined and tacit cooperation, Xiude took the lead in scoring the first goal.
3:0.
"Oh~~ Do you have any skills?"
Qingfeng Dahui turned his head and looked at the basket behind him, and said: "This kind of cooperation cannot be easily practiced overnight, what? Now you have started to learn from Azhe?"
Midorima Shintaro pushed up his glasses slightly and said: "You talk too much nonsense, Aomine, this is not like you at all. Just follow your previous temperament and let basketball speak for itself!"
······
Xiude's round of cooperation just now was indeed a bit unexpected.
Even with Qingfeng's reaction speed, he couldn't react immediately.
However, when it was Tong Huang's turn to launch an attack, Xiudoku also failed to defend effectively.
Different from Shutoku's offensive method at the beginning, Kiroh's side is completely based on a tactical system centered on personal offense. Aomine Daiki dribbled into Shutoku's inside line alone, and then passed Midorima Shintaro, Takao Kazunari, and Otsubo one after another.
Taisuke defended with three people and put the basketball into the basket.
3:2.
"Oh oh oh~~~ Here comes the solo attack of 'Ace' Aomine."
"So strong, even Midorima can't stop him?"
"He is worthy of being the leading scorer in the 'Generation of Miracles'."
In terms of visual sense, Aomine Daiki's single-player attack mode is undoubtedly the most exciting one for the audience.
However, before the audience could cheer for long, they saw that Hidetoku had already passed the basketball, and Midorima, who caught the basketball, shot the basket on the spot, launching the second round of attack.
"How could it be so easy for you to take action! Midorima!"
Qingfeng Dahui immediately rushed over and jumped to block the shot.
But just after he jumped up, Midorima Shintaro still threw the basketball steadily. From a distance of 28 meters, the basketball drew an arc in the air like a falling meteor, and then went straight through the Kirio basket.
Whoosh!
6:2.
Midorima Shintaro pushed his glasses gently, and a reflection flashed on the lenses, and then said: "Don't misunderstand! Aomine! Even if you have defeated Kagami before, it does not mean that you can defeat me!"
"You guys are quite talented, aren't you?"
······
"Tit for tat!"
"So strong, it is worthy of a showdown between the 'Generation of Miracles'."
"Speaking of which, Kagami can obviously block Midorima's shot, why can't Aomine do it?"
For many people who know little about the basketball field, this matter is indeed a bit difficult to understand. After all, in their view, Aomine and Kagami are both power forwards, and Aomine's strength is even higher than Kagami.
So there's no reason why Aomine can't do what Kagami can do.
However, in fact, this is a normal result.
It was just like the qualifying match for this summer's national competition, when Shutoku was defeated by Jorin, and Jorin was defeated by Kiroh by three times.
Could it be said that if Xiude had fought against Emperor Kiri at that time, he would have been beaten so badly?
This is obviously impossible.
In the final analysis, it's just because of attribute restraint.
Midorima Shintaro's shot has a very high release point, and Kagami is able to block it because of his excellent jumping ability.
But Qingfeng doesn't have such talent.
"Ah~~ It really turned out like this again!"
As soon as Imayoshi Sho looked at the situation on the field, although he had already expected it, he still couldn't help but feel a little helpless, a little helpless about the 'gap between mortals and geniuses'.
"Sure enough, every time we encounter the 'Generation of Miracles' and that monster, right, and now there is also a Vulcan from Jorin, things will turn into this situation!"
The match between Xiude and Tonghuang, just as everyone predicted before the match, has already entered a fierce stage from the beginning.
The ‘aces’ of both sides were firing on all cylinders, starting a point-grabbing battle.
Facing two 'Generations of Miracles' with full firepower, the defenses of both teams were almost as if they didn't exist.
······
······
"It's really unfair!"
In the audience, Kasuga Ryuhei watched the fierce duel between Kirito and Showtoku, and suddenly sighed: "Even if ordinary people train hard for several years, once they face these monsters, they are not even qualified to participate in the battle."
"Indeed!" Tsutomu Iwamura also echoed: "Facing these guys, without the 'Generation of Miracles' level defensive capabilities, ordinary players are probably no different from wooden piles."
"But the current stalemate probably won't last long. After all, Midorima is indeed unable to defend against Aomine's attack, but for Kirito, there may not be no way to defend Shutoku."
"Don't forget, in addition to Aomine, the ace of the 'Generation of Miracles', Emperor Kiri also has another intelligence expert!"
During the battle between Emperor Tong and Xiude, everyone in the surrounding auditorium felt that time passed extremely quickly. They were in a daze for just a moment, and the first quarter of the game was already over.
31:24.
Xiude maintained the lead temporarily with a seven-point advantage.
Three points is worth more than two points. This is a simple question that a kindergarten child can calculate.
However, as the second quarter began, Midorima Shintaro's scoring efficiency was suddenly limited.
Aomine broke his ball.
“The more you fight, the stronger you become. Have you entered the ‘wild’ state?”
As a player with a "wild" nature, Akashi Asuka is far more sensitive to this aura than ordinary people.
"Now that Midorima has been restricted, Kiriou's next target should be...all Xiude!"
Akashi Asuka, Momoi Satsuki, and Akashi Seijuro, the three of them have very similar personalities in a certain way. That is, when they deploy tactics against a certain enemy, they often leave no gaps for the enemy.
Down.
The fact is just as Akashi Asuka guessed.
The second quarter of the game.
Relying on Momoi Satsuki's [Predictive Defense] ability, the offense and defense of all Shutoku suddenly fell into a lag. Then Kiriou made a big effort and directly overtook the score.
48:53.
This is the score between Xiude and Tonghuang at the end of the second quarter.
······
"In the next third quarter, Showtoku will not sit still and wait for death. After all, as a former teammate, Midorima cannot be unprepared for Momoi's [predictive defense]."
During the intermission, Kasuga Ryuhei put his hands on the back of his head and spoke slowly.
The more high-end the competition, the easier it is to predict the results in many cases. As long as there is sufficient intelligence information, the results of most sports competitions have already been decided before the game.
Therefore, even Akashi Asuka couldn't say anything to refute Kasuga Ryuhei's speculation.
only······
"Having said that, if Xiude wants to win, this counterattack alone is probably not enough!"
