Kuroko's Basketball template: the king of slacking off, Shohoku's strongest sixth man.

The basketball hoop emitted a painful groan.

The entire basketball hoop was shaking.

This alley-oop, a display of violent aesthetics, was like a resounding slap in the face to everyone who thought it was a "mistake."

The entire room fell silent for a second.

Then, a scream that seemed to tear the roof off erupted.

"Waaaaaah!!"

"It went in?! It was an alley-oop!!"

"That's brutal! Did they put springs in their knees?!"

"It wasn't a mistake! It was an incredible shot!"

Upon landing, Futian did not engage in any celebratory actions.

He simply turned around and stared intently at Sendoh in the backstage area with eyes that desperately craved approval.

Sendoh straightened up, wiped away his sweat, gave Fukuda a thumbs-up, and flashed his signature sunny smile:

"Nice, Afu."

Fukuda's tense face instantly relaxed.

Although he didn't speak, the light in his eyes was frighteningly bright.

Sidelines.

Gao Touli's folding fan froze in mid-air, his expression as varied as if he had just opened a dye shop.

"It was... an alley-oop?"

"Under Maki's suffocating defense, how can you still see teammates cutting in from the baseline?"

On the other side, Taoka Shigeichi excitedly clenched his fist and roared:

"pretty!!"

He turned to look at the stunned Hainan seats, feeling incredibly satisfied.

Has the strategic vision been broadened, Gao Tou?

"You think I had Sendoh play point guard for defense?"

"Innocent!"

"At 190cm tall, Sendoh possesses a 'God's-eye view' that Maki Shinichi could only dream of his entire life!"

Shohoku Grandstand.

Lin Bei watched this scene with a slight smile on his lips, his fingers gently tapping the armrest.

"This is the 190cm tall magician."

Rukawa Kaede, standing beside him, glanced at him thoughtfully.

Lin Bei lazily added insult to injury:

"When an average point guard faces Maki, all he sees is a wall; he can't see anything else."

"But the path of immortality is different."

"His gaze was on the second floor above Amu's head."

"No matter how tightly Amu defends him, it won't prevent him from seeing the overall situation on the field."

"That ball wasn't thrown randomly."

"He calculated the height and timing that only Fukuda could reach; this is called a dimensional reduction attack."

Lin Bei paused, his gaze falling on the spiky-haired guy retreating to defense on the field:

"They can still pull off such amazing tricks under this kind of pressure."

"Sendoh Akira is indeed quite something."

On the field.

The score was 2-0.

Ryonan took the initiative and made a strong first move.

As Maki Shinichi watched the basketball roll away, a slight ripple finally appeared on his expressionless face.

He gave Sendoh a deep look.

"I see."

"Is he using his height to bully others and ignoring all interference to dominate the entire field?"

Maki Shinichi picked up the ball and served from the baseline.

When he pushed forward again, the atmosphere completely changed.

If he was a mountain just now, he is now an active volcano about to erupt.

"Since you want to play."

Maki Shinichi's dribbling speed suddenly increased, his eyes sharp as knives:

"Then I'll play along with you to the very end."

"Sendoh, don't think you can get rid of me with this little bit of cleverness."

Faced with the advance, Xian Dao did not back down; he opened his arms and lowered his center of gravity.

190cm VS 184cm.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The basketball slammed into the floor with a dull, thunderous sound, each impact feeling like a blow to the heart.

Maki Shinichi advanced with the ball, his dark brown face taut as iron, showing no sign of panic.

Only deep within his eyes flickered a dark, furious anger born of provocation.

He was the emperor of Kanagawa, the man who once stood at the top of the high school basketball food chain.

Faced with Ryonan's tactical change and Sendoh Akira, a point guard who came to the game later in his career, Maki Shinichi's response was simple and direct.

Crush him.

"Come on, Amu."

Sendoh spread his arms wide, lowering his center of gravity considerably.

Those eyes, which were usually sleepy and seemed to be fishing, were now frighteningly bright, staring intently at Maki Shinichi's waist and abdomen as if locking onto its prey.

Mu Shenyi made a move.

There were no fancy probing moves, just a sudden slump on his shoulder.

The person was like a heavy tank with its engine at full power, suddenly bursting up and forcefully crushing to the right!

The wind howled, and the speed was astonishing.

"So fast!"

Ryota Miyagi in the stands suddenly narrowed his eyes.

That's what makes Maki Shinichi so terrifying.

Despite possessing the size and strength of a center, he has a first-step explosiveness that rivals that of a smaller guard.

This is practically cheating!

however.

Just as Maki Shinichi was about to slip past the defense, a tall figure, like a persistent leech, forcefully blocked his path.

"What?!"

Maki Shinichi was slightly startled.

It wasn't prediction, it was pure speed!

Immortal Dao's lateral movement could actually keep up with his full-speed breakthrough.

Two powerful bodies clashed fiercely in mid-air.

"Bang!"

The dull thud of muscles colliding sent chills down the spines of the spectators on the sidelines, making their teeth ache.

Mu Shenyi frowned; the reaction force was much greater than he had imagined.

Sendoh was not knocked away; instead, he took advantage of his height and wingspan.

Like a giant spider web, it blocked all his passing and attacking routes.

"He's caught up! Sendoh-senpai has caught up with Maki's speed!"

Hikoichi Aida was so excited on the sidelines that he broke the tip of his pen. "This is unbelievable! This is Sendoh-senpai's defense!"

Hainan coaching bench.

Gao Tou Li, who had been waving a folding fan with an air of "everything under control," suddenly stopped moving.

Behind his glasses, his eyes were fixed on the positions on the field, and his expression suddenly changed.

"wrong……"

"This isn't just simple man-to-man marking..."

Gao Tou Li's gaze swept over the other four players from Ryonan.

Off-road, Grassland, Fukuda, Uozumi.

Instead of sticking close to their assigned defenders, the four players consciously clustered around the penalty area, forming an impenetrable zone defense.

Only Sendoh, like a piece of chewing gum that he couldn't shake off, stuck to Maki Shinichi relentlessly.

Gao Touli's temples throbbed with veins, and he gritted his teeth, squeezing out a single word:

"Box-one!"

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

The so-called Box-one usually involves four players forming a zone defense, with one player marking the opponent's ace shooter.

However, Ryonan's tactics at this moment were completely the opposite.

Four people guarded the area, cutting off the inside line.

Then, they brought out the team's strongest player, Sendoh Akira, to single-handedly defend against Maki Shinichi!

"Taoka-senpai..."

"You actually dare to use such a gambling tactic?"

Gao Tou Li looked at the Ryonan bench with a gloomy expression.

This is not only an extreme exploitation of the immortal's physical strength, but also an absolute blind faith in the immortal's personal abilities.

Once Sendoh is unable to defend against Maki Shinichi.

Ryonan's defenses would collapse instantly, reduced to nothing but ashes.

Lingnan Rest Area.

Taoka Shigeichi sat on the bench with his arms crossed, as steady as a mountain, a shrewd smile playing on his lips.

"gamble?"

"No, Gao Tou, you don't understand the Immortal Path at all."

Taoka looked at the man on the field who maintained a smile even during intense competition.

The trust in his eyes was so intense it was unwavering.

"If I didn't believe in the Dao of Immortality, I would never have devised such a tactic."

"From the day Sendoh joined the team, I knew that his talent was not just about scoring."

"He is a true genius, a man capable of surpassing Maki Shinichi and standing at the pinnacle of Kanagawa... no, at the very top of the nation!"

"I have no doubt about this!"
