25 Chapter 25

Over the course of the next 15 minutes more and more students flooded in. Syl was able to see, Sakayanagi, Ryuuen, Albert, Ichinose, Horikita, Ayanokoji, Kushida, Hirata, Karuizawa and practically everyone else important in first year. Even Koenji showed up! Thought he was looking at his mirror an awful lot…

The score was now 7-1 and Class A had the ball. Syl and Sudo had a solid 7 point run with syl scoring 5 of those points and sending dimes to Sudo twice.

Ishizaki was currently poorly dribbling the ball, but Syl and Sudo couldn't play up on him as they had to play a zone defence. They had 1 less player after all, playing man to man was suicide.

The loudspeakers sounded. [And dribbling up the court is Ishizaki from class A, he is currently looking for any open man, however the defence is locking them down!]

They had even got someone to announce the game! Syl had no clue who it was, but he made the atmosphere 10x better!

The students were intensely watching the game. How often do you get to see Class D steamroll Class A???

Never! They were all enthralled!

Ishizaki finally passed the ball off to one of the others, but the shot clock was ticking down fast. He jumped and faded away from the basket with Sudo's palm in his face.

*swish*

[He hits the heavily contested mid range jumper! What a play!]

"Shit! He got lucky!" Sudo cursed.

Syl tapped him on the shoulder and caught the ball before passing it back and finishing the check.

"Good D, let him take that all day."

Sudo took a deep breath and nodded, he was lightly panting.

Syl hadn't even broken a sweat yet. He was practically superhuman after all. If this was enough to get him tired after his stamina boost and overall fitness increase then it would be very disappointing.

One of the Class A students hovered around the three point line, Syl played relaxed D on him, standing at least 7 feet away so he could cover the other man if he needed to.

The Class A student took a deep breath and pulled up from 3.

[The shot is up! …It hits the rim and bounces out-wait! No! It hits the rim a second time and a third! And it's in for THREEE!! Is this guy Kawhi?! A big Shot for class A! The score is now, 7-4! All of a sudden it's a game again folks!]

"Don't be a bitch! Just cause you have one more player you wanna play like that?!?! 1 v 1 me!" Sudo screamed out.

Syl didn't say a word and checked the ball again.

He took a deep breath in and suddenly accelerated forward with his butterfly breathing technique.

He appeared infront of the player with the ball and swiped his hand as he bent over knocking the ball away.

[What a play! The ball is loose!]

Syl lunged for the ball once again and reached it before Ishizaki, who was being covered by Sudo could.

[He grabs the loose ball! What a steal!]

Syl didn't even look when he threw the ball near the basket, behind his back, he heard the sound of a palm slapping against the ball before hearing the sound of it swishing through the hoop a second later.

[WHAT A PASS! NO LOOK BEHIND THE BACK! RIGHT TO THE KEY!]

Sudo ran over and hugged Syl while picking him up. "HAHAHA That was amazing! How did you do that?!"

Syl smiled and knocked his knuckles on Sudo's forehead. "Put me down, it's only 8-4. We still got a game to win."

Sudo set him down and slapped his back. "With you on my team this will be a piece of cake! You need to join the basketball club! You're better than our starting point guard! And he's a third year!"

Syl shrugged. "I guess I didn't lose my touch then. Though, I really do wish there was a hockey team…"

Even though Syl got to play hockey everyday at his house, it wasn't the same when you had to play alone. Half the time he got bored playing and went to go work out instead.

He was becoming really strong, maybe the strongest human on earth, in every aspect by now…

He could probably deadlift 1,200 pounds.

He was really strong…

But he was also still flexible and had great agility! He was like a speedy guy, who was unexpectedly strong!

Syl kicked the ball up and did a few keep ups that even impressed Hirata and Nagumo before picking up the ball and checking it again.

He spun it on his finger. Ishizaki reached out thinking that Syl was leaving it undefended.

Syl flicked the ball up and Ishizaki's hand missed as the ball landed back on Syl's finger, still spinning.

Ishizaki grit his teeth and tried again, only for it to end the same way. At some point people just started feeling bad for Ishizaki, the poor guy was getting bullied! Just cause he was the only one who didn't play basketball, he would fall over every time Syl made a new move!

Syl then started dribbling and drove towards the basket. When Ishizaki followed him, Syl abruptly crossed over and stopped driving, only for Ishizaki to continue on for a few feet. Syl looked to shoot but another defender was already on him. He was now getting double teamed.

Syl shot his arm out like he was about to pass to Sudo but at the last minute he flicked his wrist down and dribbled the ball, however the defender tried to intercept the fake pass. Syl immediately crossed over to his left and and drove up the left side.

When the defender guarding Sudo saw this he left Sudo open in order to stop Syl's empty path to the basket. Syl went up for the layup before doing a 360 mid air and passing the ball to Sudo, who was now wide open under the basket. The defender was completely helpless to try and stop any of this as he was mid jump when Syl spun around him.

Sudo caught the ball and made another open layup.

The crowd erupted at the sight of the three defenders being put on skates!

Syl was just too good! He was saucing these guys up!

The score was now 9-4.
