Chapter 27: Tension

The game started with tension and anticipation.

The two sides came forward to compete for the ball, and they were all centers in their respective teams. Their heights were outrageous. Shota was 2 meters tall, but Kira was even more impressive, standing five centimeters taller than Shota. Such static talent was simply the ceiling level in junior high school. There was no need to consider technology and dynamic running and jumping ability. They were the first to be cultivated in the domestic youth training team.

Shota was a little nervous. He rarely encountered opponents taller than himself, which made him a little uncomfortable. The referee threw the ball into the air. "Pah!" As expected, the ball was taken by the opponent. Kira patted the basketball to the No. 10 on their team. The man played as a forward, a little far from Aizen. As he passed the basketball to his teammate, Kira ran directly to the paint. The whole process was so smooth, as if it had been rehearsed in advance, which made Shota unable to react for a while. But then, he chased after him with all his strength, and the two began a new round of competition under the basket.

The man on the other side did not pass the ball to the point guard but to the No. 9. He quickly controlled the ball and passed the half-court, and Aizen did not step forward to defend him because his teammates had already found their respective opponents. Just the next second, "whoosh!". The man passed the ball to Kira under the basket. After Kira received the ball, he leaned against Shota with his footsteps very rhythmically. He shook Shota out of his way while shaking left and right, and then jumped up and prepared to shoot.

But the next moment, the power forward Taiga came from the side to make up for the defense. "Don't even think about it!" While shouting, his arm swung at the ball in Kira's hand. Just as he was about to block the shot, the next second, Kira's big hands actually held the ball firmly in his hands like a pair of pliers. He changed the direction of his shot. "Swish!" Kanagawa International Middle School scored the first goal.

Aizen saw clearly from outside the three-point line that the core of the opponent's team was Kira. Without the outside line being formed, he passed the ball directly to the center. This surprised him a little. He originally thought that their core was the No 9 or No 10. The result was like this, but after seeing Kira's outstanding static talent, he could understand it. After all, he was really excellent.

Moreover, Aizen also saw the details of Kira's attack. First of all, the opponent's footsteps were very simple and efficient. It was this footwork that shook Shota away. But in Aizen's view, this was not the brightest point of the opponent. The last finishing move made Aizen's eyes light up. He suddenly found that Kira's palm was very big. It was enough to hold the ball firmly, which made him more calm in the aerial battle. He could adjust the shooting position by holding the ball or pass the ball.

Aizen suddenly thought of Junpei Hyūga of Seirin High School. The opponent had such a talent. What is it called, The "Earth" Shooting Form? After the opponent scored the goal, he ran back to defend. Shota stood at the baseline, ready to serve Aizen, but he was a little annoyed now, blaming himself for not defending the opponent well, and actually lost points from him first. Aizen saw that the other party looked wrong, and after receiving the serve. Aizen dribbled the ball slowly while saying to Shota: "Don't worry, it's just one ball. Pay more attention to the ball that will be passed to you." Aizen's calm tone always makes people feel at ease. After hearing this, Shota also recovered. "No problem, Aizen."

Aizen was actually thinking about how to play this game well the moment the system task appeared. Now, he finally decided on a strategy. That is, show your aggressiveness first. Only in this way can you attract more defense and pass more open balls to your teammates. Aizen believes that a good point guard must be aggressive. And this aggressiveness cannot be low. Looking at the famous point guards in the NBA, which one does not have a great scoring ability. Curry's three-pointer, Irving's finish, Iverson's breakthrough. So if you want to assist, you must first have offensive ability. 

Aizen dribbled the ball through the midfield, and the opponent's No. 9 came forward to defend. Although he was not as tall as Aizen, he was only a few centimeters away. From the perspective of height alone, he was not at a disadvantage. Watching Aizen come forward, he couldn't help but want to taunt: "I heard you got..." Under the arrogant expression, when he was about to use the data Aizen had obtained before as a topic. Aizen had already leaned over to break through to the right and had no time to listen to his nonsense. The opponent was in a sloppy posture, with flaws all over his body. Aizen did not deliberately move the opponent's center of gravity, but he had a weakness. Aizen would not be too polite to him for being so casual in the game.

Aizen even disliked the opponent's attitude. When breaking through on the right side, Aizen deliberately gave a confrontation on the weakness. "Bang!" The man on the other side staggered and retreated, and his arrogant expression could not be maintained at this moment, turning into a confused face. After Aizen broke through, there was no one defending in front. He rushed to the vicinity of the penalty area with big strides, and then blew the ball vigorously, ready to take off with the ball.

But the next moment, the opponent's center Kira pushed out. Seeing this, Aizen temporarily changed his strategy; he was not going to dunk. He wanted to shoot against the opponent and expand his threat range. In this way, he would be more feared by the opponent in the next game, so as to assist his teammates. Without hesitation, after the ball was combined, Aizen directly shot against Kira. Kira also jumped up in time to block the shot, although he had a large defensive area.

However, Aizen's dynamic talent is better than his, and he is even higher than him after jumping high. Even in the air, he turned on [Goal Scent], and the [confrontation core] surged in an instant, which greatly increased Aizen's air time. Knowing that Kira was falling, Aizen shot. "Swish!" The basketball hit the net. The crisp sound of the goal made all the opposing players a little confused. It went in just now? You just jumped directly against our big center?

Kira was shocked, and he was stunned by Aizen's air stay. The audience at the scene were ignited by Aizen's violent breakthrough. They finally exclaimed after scoring. "f**k, this ball is so cool." "He jumped so high, even higher than the opponent's center." 

Satsuki, Midorima, Kise, Kuroko, didn't have a game today, and the four of them came to watch Jianguang's game. As soon as they entered the court, they were greeted by enthusiastic cheers!
