Kuroko: I had already won the championship before the miracle happened.

They all focus on Hanamiya Makoto, with Konyoshi Shoichi providing support.

Imayoshi Shoichi's defensive position has been coordinating with Hanamiya Makoto's pace of movement, and he has promptly blocked the interception routes that Hanamiya Makoto himself could not reach.

Therefore, Hanamiya Makoto, who spent an entire quarter analyzing the game with his extraordinary IQ, only had the confidence and assurance to intercept the opponent's pass when he had the assistance of someone like Imayoshi Shoichi who could keep up with his pace. After all, even if a person sees through the opponent's offensive pattern, there will definitely be passes that he cannot catch up with.

but……

Speaking of IQ.

Shogi.

Go.

Chess.

violin.

piano.

calligraphy.

Akashi has many hobbies, and he is also top-notch in all subjects. Even in terms of academics, he is good at all subjects. I am afraid he is not far behind.

and.

Akashi is very strong.

On the pass.

Turning back, noticing Nijimura Shuzo's look, Jinjia No. 11's face froze, because just before, when Hanamiya Shin attacked, he couldn't help but say:

"Sorry, you are already trapped in the spider's lair. You will not score any more points. What awaits you is only annihilation."

then……

As soon as he turned around, Hua Gong was really cut off and failed.

Jinjia No. 11: “…”

Nijimura Shuzo raised an eyebrow at the other person.

"I've been preparing for this for so long, but the little tricks aren't working. If I want to play seriously now..."

"Ha~"

"In a sense, it's actually not as powerful as your play in the first quarter. As expected, the technique that best matches your level is... just that one half-baked little move."

……

Spectators in the stands.

The second seed Qianguang Middle School is in the same district as Jinjia Academy.

The point guard whose leg was broken looked worried, then confused. Then, he said in surprise, "It seems..."

"Ever since that Imayoshi Sho came on the court, has Hanamiya really made more mistakes?"

The center forward, who had his hand disabled and shared the same suffering, nodded with a strange look on his face.

"Um……"

"Yes."

in the end……

what happened?

"It shouldn't be like this. I hate to admit it, but apart from those despicable little actions, that Hanamiya is... undoubtedly a genius."

"?"

"what?"

Qian Guang's first-year junior on the team looked at his senior in surprise, "Senior... that despicable guy, how can he be considered a genius..."

"A true genius should be like Teiko's twin stars..."

Center Qianguang shook his head.

"Do not……"

"I'm not talking about on the court."

"He's a 'genius' in the purest sense, someone who uses his brain very well. At Kinka Academy, Hanamiya is quite famous. I heard that even though you never see him studying, his test scores are always among the best."

"And apparently..."

"In the second half against us, Hanamiya Makoto completely shut down our passing game. He must have used that intelligence."

Hearing this, the younger players of Qianguang Middle School were all stunned.

Immediately afterwards...

It's just a feeling of envy.

You can get high scores without studying and you can also play a role in sports.

So enviable.

"..."

hateful!

Even so, he's still a bastard!

Qianguang's point guard continued, "Throughout the Teikou game, although the Teikou twins have been absolutely dominant on the court, they have a very tacit team-like coordination when it comes to passing."

“And it’s of a super high standard.”

“This level is high…”

"It's that kind of impressive efficiency. All the players were basically able to make the right decisions during the game." Point guard Qian Guang paused. "Normally, just like us, this is a style of play that completely falls into Hanamiya Makoto's trap..."

"Because Hanamiya is really able to see through all the opponent's offensive patterns, and then by disrupting the passing lanes, intercepting the passes, he breaks the opponent's offense."

"The calmer and more composed a player is, the more likely Hanamiya Makoto will exploit their 'correct' ball handling skills."

"But……"

"Teiko's number 8."

"First year Akashi Seijuro."

"You're completely wrong. As far as passing skills are concerned, this first-year Teiko starting player is definitely not the type who only knows how to do it 'correctly'. Instead, he's a skilled type who has mastered the art of passing."

Perhaps, because of the presence of the two monsters of the Teiko Twins, that first-year student was able to always choose the 'correct' pass with excellent 'academic style'.

"I'm afraid that the 'passing routes' and 'offensive patterns' that Hanamiya Makoto analyzed in the first quarter haven't been fully understood by Akashi Seijuro, the point guard."

Moreover, it wasn't that simple, because relying solely on superhuman passing ability and creating more unexpected 'passing routes' was not enough to break through the passing route blockade set up by Hanamiya and Imayoshi...

in……

On the mental level, he must compete with Hanamiya Makoto...

"sharp……"

Before Hanamiya Makoto could even force the Teiko Twins to shoot, he ran into a wall when facing the point guard directly... What an amazing first-year student.

On the field.

Hanamiya really restrained his interception movements a lot.

therefore……

The threat level of intercepting the ball was reduced by one point.

Hanamiya Zhen: "...!?"

Damn!

That's it again!

This arrogant first-grade brat!

At this moment, the arrogant first-year kid's eyes were not focused on Hanamiya Makoto, but on No. 4, Imayoshi Shoichi, who had been assisting Hanamiya Makoto and blocking a considerable part of his passing routes.

"..."

Although he was not able to reach the level that Senior Shigure imagined, this third-year student from Jinjia Academy is worthy of the No. 4 jersey.

Akashi could sense that the reason why Imayoshi Shoichi was able to follow Hanamiya's next move so promptly and block Hanamiya without any eye contact or movement command, and yet the passing route he was entrusted with blocked in the blink of an eye, was not just due to the 'brain power' that Shigure-senpai had mentioned.

Where his 'brain power' wasn't enough to keep up, Imayoshi Shoichi relied on observation, observing Hanamiya Makoto, and even his own expressions and movements.

To achieve psychological insight.

Of course, this method had some issues with connection, and coupled with his proactive passing ability, he was not able to prevent it in advance. Therefore, he failed to achieve the 100% interception that Shigure-senpai had expected, which surprised everyone at the time.

But he has changed from being a dirty player to an outstanding player with his own unique skills.

Akashi already had a new respect for Hanamiya Makoto in front of him.

to be honest……

Without the exaggeration of Shigure-senpai, he could have accurately inferred the opponent's pre-match capabilities in a simple text description of the information.

Hanamiya Shin should be able to pose some threat to Teiko at least at 0.9.

pity……

"From the very beginning, the game style of constantly laying the groundwork for 'small moves' was like bait from there. If it wasn't Teiko, this timeline of baiting and observing might have extended to the entire first half."

"then……"

"After all the chaos in the first quarter, it would be best if we could get rid of the two seniors, but if we fail..."

"So……"

"From the provocations during the warm-up to the subsequent rough play, we made the opponent lose their mind and it was easier to see the opponent's offensive pattern."

"So that you can use the 'Spider Web' that Shigure-senpai named it now."

"By the time they come to their senses, their opponent will probably be tightly trapped in your net, like struggling prey, and will be completely devoured by you."

"Evil child..."

"Is this the title that the seniors received in the regional qualifiers?"

"It's indeed a cunning plot that lives up to its title. Unfortunately, from the very beginning, from beginning to end, including the 'spider web' we've never seen before, it was completely seen through by Senior Shigure."

Chapter 142: Who knew a block could be so powerful? Even he was unconscious. Is it a cannon?!

Halfway through the second quarter.

Teiko Junior High School vs. Kinka Academy.

Score on the field.

59: 25.

The score difference further widened. With the failure of the "Spider Web", the scoring weapon in Hanamiya Makoto's plan, Jinjia Academy's score difference quickly widened from 19 points at the end of the first quarter to 34 points in half a quarter.

then……

Jinjia Academy.

Forced to pause.

This is the first time that Jinjia's starting players have faced such a situation this year.

With Hanamiya Makoto firmly in control of the basketball team after he entered the second grade, they had been enjoying victory all year long. Now, with the sudden imminence of defeat, everyone was at a loss.

And on the other side.

Everyone at Teiko looked very relaxed.

Haizaki handed Nijimura Shuzo some water and a towel with an unhappy look on his face, then muttered under his breath, "Hey, it's already halfway through the second quarter, and the score difference is only over 30 points?"

"Did you fight well, violent man?"

"By the way..."

"It won't be because the score gap hasn't widened."

"Will it affect my playing time in the second half?"
