"That person...didn't he watch basketball at all just now?"
Outside the stadium, some spectators seemed to have noticed something unusual and spoke in disbelief.
But soon his words were refuted by others, saying: "Huh? Are you kidding? How can you defend your opponent if you don't watch the ball."
For most viewers, this statement was not reasonable at all, so they were quickly drowned in the comments of others.
But for some people, this statement is not completely impossible.
"The principle of [Disappearing Dribbling] is to use something more eye-catching than a basketball on the court to lure the defender's attention one second before the breakthrough, thereby temporarily diverting the enemy's attention."
"In a sense, this move is more unsolvable than [Phantom Shooting], because even if you know the principle of this move, you may not be able to stop it."
"After all, many times, people's vision is actually beyond their control."
"If you want to prevent [Disappearing Dribbling], there are probably two methods. One is to get used to it. As long as the opponent gets used to Kuroko's [Line of Sight Induction] ability, the effect of this move will naturally gradually weaken.
"
"The other way is not to look at the basketball when defending. In the previous qualifying match, Aomine blocked Kuroko's attack with his eyes closed."
In the audience, Kasamatsu Yukio was explaining to Kise Ryota.
Although Ryota Kise's basketball prowess now exceeds that of Yukio Kasamatsu, in terms of game experience and vision, Ryota Kise is obviously still far behind.
Although so far, apart from the practice match at the beginning of school, Hai Chang has not had a second match with Cheng Rin, but after being a fan for such a long time, he has basically understood the theoretical principles of some things.
.
"Don't watch the basketball and start defending. I've heard of this defensive method before, but not everyone can use it!" Kise Ryota said in surprise.
"That's right. Aomine was able to do this at that time, probably because he had a good relationship with Kuroko when he was in junior high school. Because he knew him well enough, he could catch Kuroko's movements even if he wasn't watching the ball.
"
"The people in Zhengbang do not have such ability, so it is obviously impossible for them to completely ignore Heizi's actions..."
After counting to this point, Kasamatsu Yukio paused for a moment, then looked deeply at Kise Ryota, and continued: "But in other words, as long as he can see a little bit, Masakuni may be able to capture Kuroko's movements."
Kise Ryota was shocked and said in surprise: "Senior, what do you mean..."
······
"How could you react so quickly just by looking at your feet?" Hinata Junpei said in shock.
If you only look at your feet, you can indeed avoid Kuroko's [sight induction].
But some things are not that simple!
Although a person's movement starts from the feet, it is not enough to only look at the footsteps in a basketball game. After all, if you want to judge the rhythm and direction of the opponent's attack through the footsteps, you must at least be one to two beats slower than normal.
For high-intensity basketball games, one or two beats are enough to keep the opponent away from multiple positions.
"Have you forgotten what we are best at?"
Seemingly seeing through Hinata Junpei's doubts, Omuro Giichi opposite him smiled and said.
This sentence made Hinata Junpei stunned.
Then he reacted suddenly.
yes!
Zhengbang's specialty has always been footwork. For others, it may take one or two beats to slow down the direction of the opponent's attack, but for Zhengbang, it may only take half a beat to react.
And Kuroko's own ability is not very strong. With Tsukawa's physical condition, he can easily catch up after half a beat.
······
[The disappearing dribble] was suddenly cracked, and Kuroko Tetsuya was also shocked.
But after all, he is the player who won three consecutive championships in junior high school together with the "Generation of Miracles". In terms of competition experience and psychological quality, in the entire Jorin, it is estimated that only Kiyoshi Teppei can barely compare with Kuroko Tetsuya.
Just for a moment.
Kuroko Tetsuya regained his composure and immediately assumed the [Phantom Shooting Basket] pose.
at the same time.
Kagami Taiga and Mitobe also blocked Akashi Asuka's position under the basket, preventing him from stepping forward to help defend, because so far, no Akashi Asuka in Masahiro has ever blocked him [Phantom Shooting]
Basketball]'s criminal record.
However, this time, facing Kuroko Tetsuya's attack, Akashi Asuka smiled softly and said, "Don't be so nervous. Kuroko has been completely handed over to Tsukawa, so I won't step forward to intervene."
Akashi Asuka's casual attitude not only did not make the people in Cheng Lin feel relaxed, but instead made them feel nervous.
At this moment, Heizi Tetsuya had already shot the basketball.
However, what surprised many spectators outside the court was that when Tsukawa saw Kuroko Tetsuya shooting, not only did he not step forward to defend, but he took a slight step back.
But just this step caused everyone in Chenglin to change their expressions instantly.
Snap!
The dull block made the stadium suddenly become silent.
The [Phantom Shooting], which once broke through Yangquan's 'invincible defense', was slapped down by Tsukawa Tomoki.
Kasuga Ryuhei grabbed the basketball immediately, and then cooperated with Akashi Asuka to hit another three-point counterattack.
39:27.
Cheng Lin fell completely silent.
Even Kuroko Tetsuya, who had always been full of hope and fighting spirit, his eyes lost their sparkle at this moment.
······
"[Phantom Shooting Basket] was actually cracked?" Momoi Satsuki suddenly covered her mouth.
The crack this time was different from the previous game against Rakuzan. In the previous game against Rakuzan, although [Phantom Shooting] was also blocked, at that time it was mostly relied on Akashi Seijuro's personal strength to crush him.
But this time, Zhengbang completely revealed all the secrets of [Phantom Shooting].
The principle of [Phantom Shooting Basket] is also not complicated.
Like [Disappearing Dribbling], [Phantom Shooting] also uses the technique of sight induction. Conventional shooting is to put the basketball on the head, but [Phantom Shooting] is to put the basketball on the chest.
In this way.
When the defensive player blocks a shot, his eyes will subconsciously shift to the ground, and Kuroko Tetsuya will use this moment of emptiness to throw the basketball out of sight in the sky.
When Tsukawa Tomoki was on defense before, he took a step back, so that his whole field of vision would be completely expanded, and naturally all the secrets would be revealed.
The two unique skills of [Phantom Shooting] and [Disappearing Dribbling] were cracked at the same time. Even Kuroko Tetsuya was hit hard by the huge blow and was slightly distracted.
And Satsuki Momoi, who is Kuroko Tetsuya's girlfriend (self-proclaimed), can't help but shed tears just thinking about this kind of blow.
"Either don't take action, or once you take action, you will cut off all hope of your opponent. This is really what that guy will do!"
Seeing Akashi Asuka's layout, even Aomine Daiki, who had always disdained such things as 'tactics and strategies', couldn't help but be a little amazed.
"In this way, Cheng Lin will have to break another pillar."
The two major tricks were cracked, the weak [sense of presence] disappeared, and even the [Line of Sight Induction] skill gradually began to weaken as the game progressed.
Under this situation, Kuroko Tetsuya has no value in staying on the court.
Therefore, even if Aida Reiko really doesn't want to substitute Kuroko Tetsuya off the field, after all, under the premise that Kiyoshi Teppei has already left the field, if Kuroko Tetsuya also leaves the field, one can imagine Jorin's ending.
However, now, Reiko Aida has no choice.
It didn't take long.
Tetsuya Kuroko left the game and was replaced by substitute player Shinji Koganei.
"Wow~~"
"Cheng Lin has already replaced two main players in a row. Is it really okay to continue like this?"
"This guy seemed to have come on as a substitute against Luoshan before, but he didn't seem to even score a goal..."
At this point in the game, the gap in background between Cheng Lin and the wealthy family began to be revealed.
Substitute player.
Many of the substitutes for wealthy teams are just a hair away from the main players, just like Masahiro. Unless something happens to a player of Akashi Asuka's level, even if Iwamura Tsutomu and Kasuga Ryuhei unexpectedly retire, Masahiro can be found immediately.
Substitute players, and their strength is at most one echelon behind the main players.
But as a new club with only second-year students at the highest level, Cheng Lin's substitute lineup can be described as "unbearable to look at".
If we say that Mitobe Rinnosuke, who came on as a substitute for Kiyoshi Teppei, can be said to be a barely qualified 'blue collar' player.
Then Shinji Koganei is a complete rookie player.
As a player who only started participating in the basketball club in high school, although he has developed fairly good motor skills by playing tennis in junior high school, other aspects of him can only be described as mediocre.
Mitobe Rinnosuke and Koganei Shinji.
These two substitutes completely became Cheng Rin's defensive loopholes. In the second half of the second quarter, Zhengbang launched an unceremonious attack on these two loopholes.
"Beep~~~"
Wait until the end of the second quarter.
The point difference between Zhengbang and Chenglin has widened to 48:31.
······
Ten minutes intermission.
The atmosphere in Cheng Lin's locker room was completely silent, and even several members of the 'Generation of Miracles' in the audience fell silent.
As Kuroko Tetsuya's former teammate, in fact, many people in the 'Generation of Miracles' still prefer Kuroko Tetsuya's victory for the outcome of this game.
But the current situation clearly told them that Cheng Lin had almost no hope of winning.
Kiyoshi Teppei was injured and left the game, and it is not known whether he can return in the second half.
Kuroko Tetsuya's two unique tricks were broken, and his own sense of presence was also useless. Even if he could still play in the second half, the effect would probably be quite limited.
As for the remaining three people who want to defeat Masakuni led by Akashi Asuka, this kind of thing is impossible even if it is cheating.
"Chenglin is a team full of 'miracles', so we must not take it lightly in the second half."
In Zhengbang's locker room, Akashi Asuka's voice was deafening.
You may not believe it, but the person who has the most confidence in Jorin right now is neither Jorin himself nor the audience who supports Jorin, but Akashi Asuka, his opponent.
As the saying goes: The person who knows you best is often your opponent.
It is precisely because Akashi Asuka, his opponent, knows enough about Jorin's situation that he is even more aware that Jorin, who is now forced into a desperate situation, will most likely explode in the second half.
Ten minutes flew by.
soon.
The third quarter of the second half officially begins.
Everything was as Akashi Asuka expected. After the second half of the game started, Kagami Taiga exploded as expected.
Not long after the start of the third quarter, Kagami Taiga entered the "wild" state.
‘Wild’ will give a player a beast-like intuition and can predict the opponent’s actions in advance, but it will not improve the player’s basic physical fitness.
But the strange thing is that after entering the "wild", Vulcan's physical fitness began to steadily improve.
The most obvious thing is Vulcan Daiga's jumping ability.
When Kagami Taiga took off with all his strength before, he almost had the same highest point as Akashi Asuka, but overall there was still a slight gap.
After all, Asuka Akashi now also has a jumping attribute of [84] points, coupled with a height of nearly 210cm, which is enough to make up for the talent gap between Kagami Taiga.
However, since the Vulcan Self entered the ‘wild’.
When he jumped to block Akashi Asuka three times in a row, his height got closer and closer to Akashi Asuka's basketball every time. In the third time, he almost touched the basketball.
"Tsk~~ I really don't know if you are cheating or if I am cheating."
Akashi Asuka attacked for the fourth time. After entering the 'wild' before him, his attention was almost comparable to that of Kagami Daiga who entered [zone]. He couldn't help but clicked his tongue and sighed.
This time, Asuka Akashi felt what Shintaro Midorima felt.
The feeling of watching your opponent improve and catch up with you in the game is really a bit scary.
"but·····"
"It's a pity that you're still a little behind."
As he said that, Akashi Asuka exhaled, and then his hands dropped slightly, and he also entered a state of relaxation.
【Wild Mammoth】
The moment Akashi Asuka also entered the 'wild' state, Kagami Taiga, who was almost completely immersed in his own world, was suddenly awakened by an inexplicable chill.
Although it is also "wild", "wild" is also divided into levels.
Akashi Asuka's level of 'wildness' is obviously higher than that of Vulcan Taiga. This is not a difference in [beast], but comes from the depth of the individual's development of 'wildness' and the instincts of the players themselves.
Akashi Asuka's [Wild Mammoth] comes from the skill 'Cruelty' in the previous world. At this point, his experience is obviously much richer than Kagami Taiga's.
