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

Ai and power forward Tiemenshan roared gruffly.

Love and Academy narrowly secured the first strike!

Just as the basketball was falling.

"Whoosh—!"

A figure darted out from the back field with astonishing speed.

It's Asuka Makoto!

He doesn't pause at all when he receives the ball.

They pushed the speed to the limit and plunged straight into the heart of Xiangbei.

"So fast!"

Miyagi Ryota was startled.

Although I just mocked this first-year student.

But once on the field, Miyagi's intuition immediately sounded the alarm.

This guy's absolute speed is actually no less than mine!

Its initial explosiveness is even stronger!

"Don't even think about running away!"

A fierce glint flashed in Gongcheng's eyes as he pressed himself tightly against her.

"Squeak—squeak—!"

The sneakers were screeching wildly on the floor.

"Hahaha! Too slow! Too slow!"

As Asuka ran wildly, turning around to hurl insults at Miyagi.

"Is this the point guard who defeated Sannoh?!"

"You don't even deserve to be in my dust!"

"Get out of the way, you shorty!"

He wanted to provoke Miyagi and force a breach in his defenses.

However, Miyagi remained completely unmoved.

"It's too noisy."

Miyagi stared intently at Asuka's shoulders and dribbling rhythm.

The image of that terrifying man, Fukatsu Kazunari, involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Compared to Fukatsu's suffocating sense of oppression.

Asuka's fast-paced attacks, which rely solely on verbal sparring and brute force, are full of openings!

"left!"

Miyagi's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

He completely ignored the trash talk.

In the tiny instant that Asuka Maki changed direction and accelerated in front of him, he made an accurate prediction!

"Bang!"

Miyagi forcibly twisted his body and took a large step to the side.

Like an iron wall, it blocked Asuka's only path to breakthrough.

Asuka's heart skipped a beat.

"Oh no!"

The speed was too fast; there was simply no time to brake.

To avoid committing an offensive foul, he could only awkwardly gather the ball, his feet sliding nearly a meter on the floor before finally stopping.

The originally smooth fast attack was brought to a standstill by Miyagi's perfect prediction!

Asuka held onto the ball tightly, cold sweat trickling down her forehead.

Ryota Miyagi slowly straightened up and looked at him, his eyes revealing a coldness that seemed to see through everything.

"Is that all you've got?"

Miyagi's voice was low, but every word was piercing.

"Your speed is a joke compared to Fukatsu's."

Asuka gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with resentment.

But under Miyagi's defensive pressure, he didn't even have the courage to dribble.

"Asuka! Pass the ball!"

Just when the offense was about to reach a dead end, a calm voice rang out from high above the free throw line.

Moroboshi Dai!

Asuka quickly pushed the ball out.

Moroboshi Dai received the ball steadily from a high position.

Almost at the same second, a cold, red and black figure pressed against him.

Rukawa Kaede!

In those narrow, fox-like eyes, there was no fear, only a desire to hunt down the strong.

"Shohoku's super rookie."

Moroboshi Dai held the ball in both hands, his eyes instantly sharpening.

"Let me see if you're qualified to stand here."

Faced with Rukawa's flawless and relentless pressure, Moroboshi was greatly alarmed.

Right foot probes.

The sway was extremely slight, and the shoulder drop was accurate to the millimeter.

A textbook example of a tentative step!

Without any unnecessary movements, the threat was palpable.

Rukawa Kaede was on edge.

"Left side? Or a breakthrough?"

Just as Rukawa Kaede's center of gravity shifted slightly due to the probing step.

Moroboshi Dai instantly retracted his right foot, exerted force with both legs, and rose up from the ground!

A pull-up jumper!

The movements were crisp and clean, with the ascent, hang in the air, and wrist flick all executed in one smooth motion.

Rukawa Kaede leaped up to block the shot.

But that millisecond-level shift in his center of gravity caused him to miss the best opportunity.

His fingertips could only helplessly brush past the area below Moroboshi Dai's wrist.

The basketball traced a towering parabola in the air.

"Whoosh—!"

Hollow into the network!

2: 0!

Love and Academy take two points first!

"nice shot!!!"

"As expected of the Star of Aichi!"

The fans in the stands erupted in cheers, which swept across the entire stadium.

After landing, Moroboshi didn't even look at the basket and immediately turned around to go back on defense.

The dominance of the nation's top defenders was on full display.

Rukawa Kaede stood still, watching the swaying basketball net.

He slowly lowered his head.

The next second, when he raised his head again, the fighting spirit in his eyes had been completely ignited.

"interesting."

Rukawa Kaede murmured softly, his muscles trembling slightly with excitement.

He turned his head and stared intently at Miyagi, who was preparing to serve from the baseline.

Without saying a word, he suddenly stretched out his right hand and pointed at himself.

The meaning is clear: Give me the ball, I want one back!

Ryota Miyagi smirked: "Just what I wanted."

The basketball was passed directly to Rukawa Kaede.

Just past halfway, Aiwa's small forward, Shun Kageyama, closed in.

Shun Kageyama is Aiwa's off-ball movement expert and defensive specialist.

His defense was extremely tenacious, constantly waving his hands in front of Rukawa's eyes to disrupt his vision.

"Don't think you can get away with this so easily!" Kageyama Shun growled through gritted teeth.

"Get out of here."

Rukawa Kaede coldly uttered two words.

Without slowing down at all, they went straight into the defense and completed a large-scale change of direction while moving at high speed!

"Bang!"

The basketball slammed heavily onto the floor.

Rukawa Kaede lowered his shoulders to an extremely low position, relying on his explosive power and speed to tear a gap open from Kageyama Shun's side!

"Stop him!" Kageyama Shun exclaimed.

Rukawa Kaede moved with unparalleled ease, directly charging into the restricted area!

Facing the formidable defense of the paint, Rukawa Kaede leaped into the air just inside the free-throw line!

He twisted his body in mid-air, dodged Iron Gate Mountain's block, and passed the ball from his right hand to his left.

Extreme pull lever!

Get ready for a left-handed layup!

Everyone's breath caught in their throats at that moment.

"Go for it, Rukawa!" Ayako excitedly stood up from the bench.

however!

Just as Rukawa was about to flick the ball towards the corner of the backboard with his left hand.

"Whoosh—!"

A tall, dark figure suddenly appeared from the side blind spot!

Kenji Tsurumi!

His terrifying 215-centimeter wingspan once again demonstrates his power.

Even though he jumped too late, his body was stuck to the side and behind.

But that long arm defied the obstacle and covered the space for the layup!

"Snapped!"

A slight, crisp sound.

Kenji Tsurumi's fingertips barely grazed the edge of the basketball!

It was this tiny external force that disrupted the trajectory of the basketball.

"when!"

The basketball hit the front edge of the rim.

It produced a piercing clang, like the sound of metal being struck.

The ball bounced high into the air.

Rukawa Kaede's seemingly inevitable layup was ultimately deflected by Tsurumi Kenji's terrifyingly long arms.

"What?!"

Rukawa landed, his face filled with disbelief.

Shohoku's first attack was thwarted!

On the bench, Lin Bei's eyes narrowed slightly.

"This is interesting; their defense is pretty good."

Love and Academy's airtight defensive system.

They showed their fangs right from the start!

"rebound!"

Under the basket, Tie Menshan, the power forward from Aihe Academy, let out a beast-like roar.

Standing at 195 cm tall and weighing an astonishing amount, his fundamental skills are frighteningly solid.

At the moment the basketball bounces up.

He leaned back with his broad, millstone-like back.

The immense force is like a solid reinforced concrete wall.

He firmly blocked Sakuragi Hanamichi from the outside.

"It's mine!"

Tiemenshan's legs were slightly bent.

He was about to jump and grab the invaluable defensive rebound.

However, just as he exerted his muscles and his feet had not yet left the ground...

A deafening roar exploded like thunder on the top of Iron Gate Mountain!

"Stop getting in my way!!"
