Miyamoto Tokima comforted him.
"Kentaro, if you can't hold him, just back off a little. Don't worry too much about two points."
Kentaro Seto gritted his teeth and nodded.
"I got it, Tokima-san."
Hearing that, Miyamoto Tokima shook his head helplessly. Kentaro Seto said he understood, but from the look on his face, Miyamoto Tokima could tell he still wasn't convinced.
Possession changed.
Kirisaki Daiichi's ball.
Miyamoto Tokima slowly brought the ball up the court. After reaching the frontcourt, he did not hesitate at all and immediately began driving with the ball.
Seijuro Akashi took a deep breath and focused his attention to the limit.
At the same time, the [Emperor Eye] activated!
Although it was still called the [Emperor Eye], the [Emperor Eye] used by the primary personality was slightly inferior compared to the one used by the secondary personality.
Seijuro Akashi observed Miyamoto Tokima, thinking to himself:
'Where will he go? Which way will he go?'
Miyamoto Tokima arrived in front of Seijuro Akashi, then held the ball in his left hand and leaned slightly to the left. At the same time, his shoulder also dipped slightly to the left.
Seijuro Akashi was startled.
'Right!'
But then, Seijuro Akashi saw Miyamoto Tokima's muscle movements and was startled again.
'No! It's a change of direction!'
Just as Seijuro Akashi was about to adjust his position and predict the defense, Miyamoto Tokima suddenly gathered the ball and jumped.
Seijuro Akashi's pupils shrank.
'Crap!'
He immediately lunged forward, trying to block it, but Miyamoto Tokima did not use any other move on this shot. It was the purest kind of shot!
The most ordinary shot was also the fastest shot.
Miyamoto Tokima's motion was extremely smooth as he released the basketball, impossibly fluid.
Seijuro Akashi knew he could not catch up, so he had no choice but to give up.
Swish!!!
The basketball went in cleanly!
After scoring, Miyamoto Tokima smiled at Seijuro Akashi, then turned and went back on defense.
Seijuro Akashi smiled helplessly, then turned to receive the ball.
...
Possession changed.
Rakuzan High School's ball.
After Seijuro Akashi reached the frontcourt, Eikichi Nebuya immediately ran out to set a screen for him.
But Miyamoto Tokima did not care about Eikichi Nebuya's screen at all and easily went around it.
Seeing this, Seijuro Akashi shouted:
"Nebuya, go to Reo!"
Hearing that, Eikichi Nebuya immediately ran toward Reo Mibuchi.
At the same time, Chihiro Mayuzumi slowly moved over as well.
Seijuro Akashi also passed the basketball over at the right moment.
After catching the ball, Reo Mibuchi immediately used Eikichi Nebuya's screen and ran to the right.
At the same time, Chihiro Mayuzumi also ran over and set another screen for Reo Mibuchi.
A double screen!
Reo Mibuchi reached the right side and made a shooting motion.
Kentaro Seto and Makoto Hanamiya immediately covered him, not letting Reo Mibuchi shoot.
Seeing the two of them step up, Reo Mibuchi suddenly smiled.
"I'm not fighting alone, you know."
Then Reo Mibuchi suddenly passed the ball toward Chihiro Mayuzumi.
Kentaro Seto and Makoto Hanamiya were both startled and turned their heads.
Makoto Hanamiya's eyes widened, and he cursed himself inwardly.
'Damn it!'
Chihiro Mayuzumi had already prepared to push the ball from the side!
The instant the basketball came over, Chihiro Mayuzumi immediately pushed it out with a high arc!
After pushing it out, Chihiro Mayuzumi thought to himself:
'The current you should definitely be able to catch this!'
Eikichi Nebuya ran into the paint, then jumped up with all his strength. This time, he jumped even higher than usual!
He leapt up, grabbed the basketball in midair, and prepared to slam it down with full force.
But suddenly, at that very moment, a voice rang out sharply.
"Hunting!"
It was Dicky Anthony!
Dicky Anthony suddenly jumped up beside Eikichi Nebuya, his arm pressing directly over the basketball in Eikichi Nebuya's hands!
Eikichi Nebuya's expression changed. But right after that, he felt it. Dicky Anthony did not have enough strength!
Or rather, Dicky Anthony's takeoff position prevented him from fully using his strength.
After sensing that Dicky Anthony's strength was lacking, Eikichi Nebuya roared:
"Aaah! Go in for me!!!"
But just then.
Smack!!!
Another hand suddenly pressed down on Eikichi Nebuya's basketball!
It was Kentaro Seto!!!
Kentaro Seto's face twisted fiercely as he roared:
"Don't look down on me!!!"
Although Eikichi Nebuya was strong, he still could not quite hold up against Dicky Anthony and Kentaro Seto blocking him at the same time.
Smack!!!
A crisp block rang out, followed by Eikichi Nebuya crashing heavily to the floor.
And it was not just him. Because Dicky Anthony had forced himself to jump from a bad position, he also lost his balance.
Kentaro Seto was a little better off. At least he was still standing.
After the basketball was blocked away, Kotaro Hayama and Shuzo Nijimura rushed out at the same time.
But the basketball was taken by Shuzo Nijimura, who had entered Zone.
Shuzo Nijimura charged forward quickly with the ball, while Kotaro Hayama followed tightly behind him.
Kotaro Hayama gritted his teeth and used every ounce of strength to keep up with Shuzo Nijimura. At that moment, the lightning in his eyes also became violent!
Shuzo Nijimura glanced at him lightly from the corner of his eye, then smiled faintly.
At that moment, Seijuro Akashi shouted:
"Hayama! Behind you!!!"
Hearing that, Kotaro Hayama turned his head and looked back.
He saw Dicky Anthony following closely behind him, while Reo Mibuchi and Chihiro Mayuzumi followed behind Dicky Anthony.
Although Chihiro Mayuzumi and Reo Mibuchi were trailing behind them, the frontcourt was still essentially a two-on-one situation.
Now Kotaro Hayama had to consider one question. Would Shuzo Nijimura shoot, or would he assist Dicky Anthony?
Kotaro Hayama gritted his teeth and decided to defend Shuzo Nijimura.
Seeing this, Shuzo Nijimura smiled calmly, then tossed the ball up toward the backboard!
The moment Kotaro Hayama saw that move, he immediately understood Shuzo Nijimura's choice.
There was nothing he could do. Kotaro Hayama could only jump with all his strength, trying to grab the rebounding basketball before Dicky Anthony could.
But Dicky Anthony's height and wingspan were far beyond his.
Naturally, the ball Shuzo Nijimura threw off the backboard had been aimed according to Dicky Anthony's height and wingspan.
Kotaro Hayama could not reach the rebounding ball at all!
In the end, Dicky Anthony jumped powerfully behind him, grabbed the rebounding basketball, and dunked it in.
He turned Kotaro Hayama completely into a background prop!
After landing, Kotaro Hayama stumbled forward. If Shuzo Nijimura had not grabbed him in time, Kotaro Hayama definitely would have fallen.
