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

The strength of Hagioka Kasayuki is far beyond Shigure Akito's expectations.

He had gradually forgotten the coach's arrangements before the game. The only thought in his mind was probably to let Hagioka Kasayuki clean his neck and wait for him to defeat him!

"The ball..."

'Pass it to me!'

Nijimura Shuzo shook his head speechlessly. He knew it would be like this.

This guy……

Can't hold it back.

Having said that, looking at Shigure Akito's excited expression that didn't care about anything else, Nijimura Shuzo finally pursed his lips and passed the ball to him.

even……

It's from the backfield.

When arriving at the Okayama half, Shigure said nothing, just looked at Hagioka Kasayuki in front of him. Unlike Nijimura's ferocious aura, Shigure at this moment was even unable to activate the "Green Light" due to insufficient energy for his ultimate move.

However, that vibrant, hunting-like posture, excited, depicted his current spirit, and then... he attacked Hagioka Kasayuki through the air!

Chapter 073: Senior Hagioka, please speed up, otherwise the gap will widen quickly!

Hagioka Kasayuki: "..."

coming!

boom!

Shigure Akito starts in triple threat stance!

In the audience, Kurona Shinji and Fukaya Reiji stared wide-eyed. In their eyes, Shigure's speed was already astonishing, but Hagioka Kasayuki was still able to keep up.

Although Nijimura and Shigure already knew this when they were chasing Hagioka Kasayuki, the more they watched, the more exaggerated it seemed.

This is because Hagioka Kasayuki is too tall. Even if he has a larger stride, he cannot do this without sufficient stride frequency support.

And among the junior high school players who are over 190 cm tall, there is definitely no one who has such athletic ability!

Both of them are very fast, but Hagioka Kasayuki, relying on his excellent defensive reading, used his strength to forcibly disrupt Shigure Akito's offensive rhythm at the moment their bodies made contact!

Immediately afterwards, the cotton-like defense once again tied up Shigure Akito, but Shigure also began to fight back. This time, his control of the ball became obviously more excited, and he dribbled beautifully with various basic skills, one move after another!

Retreat and attack instantly!

Retreat sideways!

Fly close to the ground!

Hagioka Kasayuki is not a pushover either. His defense increased sharply with the pressure. He mainly entangled Shigure Akito's defense without any deviation in his steps, and he was able to limit Shigure's speed very well during the fight.

then……

At a certain moment!

Hagioka Kasayuki suddenly made a move, interrupting his own extremely rhythmic defense!

Phew~!

But it's empty!

Shigure Akito displayed a reaction speed comparable to "wildness". When Hagioka Kasayuki's long arms had rushed to the front of his body and changed his dribbling route, Shigure Akito suddenly changed his tactics at that moment!

Dodge and break through!

[Uekusa Tomoyuki: Dodge Breakthrough: When the opponent steals the ball, there is a certain chance that you will dodge and then break through directly, getting rid of the opponent (when attacking with the ball, this skill is passively triggered when the opponent steals the ball)]

Hagioka Kasayuki was thrown away.

Hagioka Kasayuki is chasing after Shigure Akito...

"...!?"

At this time, everyone's eyes were on Shigure and Hagioka. Although Hagioka Kasayuki's defense was broken, there was no trace of anxiety in his eyes.

Instead, he completed a tacit and rapid defensive deployment through command of his teammates!

But what Hagioka Kasayuki didn't expect was...

Phew~!

Shigure Akito passed the ball!

Tomoyuki Uekusa - Moving pass!

【Moving Pass: During the moving process, you can pass the ball directly without affecting the moving state.】

Shigure Akito's passing skills are very unique.

Even with the passing action, there was no fluctuation in the speed of movement.

What Hagioka Kasayuki didn't expect was that Nijimura Shuzo, who received the ball from Shigure Akito, immediately passed the ball back, and so...

The passing and connection were so fast that it was like playing table tennis.

Pa~!

[Kiyoda Nobunaga - Layup: The moment you catch the ball, you throw it up and complete a quick layup]

shuh~

The throw hits the target!

Teiko vs. Okayama.

26: 19.

Hagioka Kasayuki: "!?"

One round...

Shigure Akito's attacks surprised Hagioka Kasayuki several times.

Because compared to Shigure Akito's performance in the middle, Shigure in this round behaved like a complete 'heretic'.

breakthrough……

The most crucial moment depends on reaction.

attack……

With the help of passing, and sudden catch and quick throw.

Looking at this scene, Hagioka Kasayuki, who failed to block the shot in time, was also stunned.

I see. As a center forward, I showed unexpected skills in this match, so Shigure Akito... is that what he was planning as well...

What a competitive kid.

the other side.

After seeing Shigure Akito's goal, Hagioka Kasayuki's teammate Hino Shinya had the same expression.

However, when he found that Hagioka Kasayuki seemed to be standing still because of the failure of defense, he immediately came to Hagioka Kasayuki's side...

In the past, in most cases, because he had to lead Okayama Junior High School to steady victory, Hagioka Kasayuki gave them the feeling of being like a rock, calm and reliable.

however……

When he approached and saw Hagioka Kasayuki's expression, he was completely stunned. He stopped what he wanted to say and couldn't say it, because it was the first time he saw...

The excitement in Hagioka Kasayuki's eyes overflowed so unconcealedly.

……

The final stage of the first quarter ended quickly. The tone set at the end of the first quarter continued into the second quarter and soon reached the middle of the second quarter.

42: 35.

From the moment Shigure Akito took the initiative to attack, everyone watched with great pleasure.

It would have been fine if it was Shigure Akito, but no one expected that the captain of Okayama, who was known for his teamwork on the court, would suddenly make personal offense the main theme at the beginning of the last stage of the first quarter, just like Shigure Akito.

On the field.

Nijimura Shuzo's face was very dark now.

What is this "No matter what goal you want to achieve, you must be down-to-earth and proceed step by step"?

Ha~!

Hypocritical guy!

He's just an asshole who, once a goal is set, doesn't care about the process and only wants the result!

Phew~!

Facing Nijimura Shuzo's defense, Hagioka Kasayuki passed the ball again!

Then move quickly!

Bang~!

Shooting guard Toshiyo Kurumiya's pick-and-roll!

At the moment of the pick-and-roll, Hagioka Kasayuki raised the ball outside the three-point line, Shigure and Nijimura were forced to switch defense, and at the same time Shigure Akito blocked the shot.

but……

The height of this block was much lower than in the previous rounds.

There's no other reason, it's just intentional.

really.

Hagioka Kasayuki, fake move, receives the ball.

then……

Shi Yuqiu's face also turned dark.

The outrageous judgment made by Nijimura before the renovation turned out to be correct!

This guy had no intention of actually voting it out!

As a center, his outrageous guard-level skills, the three-pointer in the first shot, and the layout of the next round made Nijimura Shuzo misjudge. In fact, Hagioka Kasayuki might be able to shoot a three-pointer, but it would be impossible for him to be so accurate!

Akito Shigure: "..." "..."

With thick eyebrows and big eyes!

But he has too many tricks up his sleeve, and he is really good at acting!

After hitting the first three-pointer, he chose a three-pointer in the second attack. However, when the hit rate could not be guaranteed, he was defended by Nijimura with superb acting skills, which deepened the impression that he was determined to shoot the three-pointer!

Thinking of the defense of Nijimura before...

Wildness again...

It’s layout again…

Although he successfully defended himself, he eventually discovered that he had been tricked...

Hehe ~

Shigure Akito glanced at the fire in Nijimura's eyes that was about to burn to his eyebrows, and smiled in his heart without any kindness.

but……

The eldest brother doesn't laugh at the second brother...

From the end of the first quarter to now, for such a long time, I was like a grasshopper jumping up and down. 'Kiyota Nobunaga·Flying Man Block' was forced to take off continuously, and finally was broken into the penalty area, which made people feel a little depressed.

Moreover, after continuously giving their all on both offense and defense, he was a little out of breath.

Even though it's not halftime yet, the previous offense and defense were no joke. Hagioka Kasayuki didn't give Shigure Akito and Nijimura Shuzo any room to rest.

"Senior Hagioka..."

"You boasted so handsomely before..."

"But before they could even defeat Nijimura, they came looking for me~"

"Are you scared?"
