There was still ti on the shot clock.
Junpei Hyuga attempted to break through Tomoki Tsugawa's lockdown, finding the opponent's trickiness to be the most extre he had ever encountered in his life.
Helpless.
He could only pass the ball back to Izuki Shun to reorganize an offense.
Izuki retreated to the top of the three-point arc to observe.
Seirin's players also assud the V-formation again.
They ran the tactic once more, using Kuroko as a transfer station to move the ball quickly.
The target this ti was still Junpei Hyuga.
The Seirin captain was in good form, his shooting touch incredibly hot.
But.
"Again!" Izuki Shun looked up and saw Yuuto's finger pointing out.
And Tomoki Tsugawa.
Upon seeing the direction of Yuuto's finger, he disregarded the basketball flying toward him and ran directly toward the position Yuuto pointed to.
This ti.
He even got into position at the sa ti as Junpei Hyuga.
"It appeared again!"
"Yuuto's signature move! The Finger of God!"
"Under his command, Seiho's defense is impregnable; Seirin can't find any opportunities!"
The voices of the TV Tokyo comntators rose a few decibels.
Aside from the opening block, the Lion King Yuuto had been sowhat quiet so far.
When he used his signature "Finger of God," they instantly felt alive again, finally having sothing to say.
"Yuuto has a very keen grasp of the flow of the situation. Homi Academy's championship coach publicly praised his ability to read ti and space on the court more than once."
"In that key battle known as the Second Impact last year, he once used his unparalleled basketball IQ to dissect Teiko's offensive tactics."
After a spiel, they enthusiastically described the special skill "Finger of God."
Viewers watching Yuuto play for the first ti thought it sounded amazing even if they didn't fully understand.
So Yuuto's random pointing had so much aning behind it?
"So cool, sounds like the Divine Move in Go!"
Many people thought it was cool to death.
There was an elegance of talking and laughing while the enemy's fleet turns to ashes.
Yes.
Japanese people love the Three Kingdoms very much; there are quite a few manga and ani based on the Three Kingdoms.
Lu Bu is even the God of War in their hearts!
"Completely analyzed, or rather, completely corrected."
Seeing this situation, how could Kise not know what happened?
Yuuto's ability had unknowingly activated once, maybe twice or three tis.
In other words.
Without making a sound, he had already completed at least one evolution.
"Even team-based things like tactics can be corrected?" Yukio Kasamatsu found it hard to believe.
Although he had watched that ga, and was even at the scene. But he wasn't particularly clear about Yuuto's ability.
"Yeah, Akashi-cchi analyzed Little Yuuto's ability. He believes that as long as Little Yuuto considers it a weakness, everything will be corrected by him, including superfluous emotions!"
Such a talent made even a talent monster like Kise envious.
"Even within our Generation of Miracles, we believe Little Yuuto is the player closest to perfection."
Clang~
With little ti left on the shot clock, Junpei Hyuga forced a shot and missed.
Tsugawa's defense provided sufficient interference and confrontation. Even in his hottest state, Hyuga failed to put the ball into the basket.
Tsutomu Iwamura overpowered Mitobe to secure the defensive rebound.
No rush.
He gave the ball to Ryuhei Kasuga to control the pace.
A fast-paced ga could indeed eliminate the effective ti of Kuroko's Misdirection.
But a King has the composure of a King.
Not only did they not play fast, but they actively slowed down the pace, playing the positional warfare they were good at.
Positioning.
Spacing the floor.
Already in a triangle state. This ti Ryuhei Kasuga attempted a drive to attract the defense before passing the ball to Yuuto.
At this ti, Yuuto truly obtained a one-on-one isolation opportunity.
This ti.
Taiga Kagami had no extra nonsense, focusing his attention to deal with the man in front of him.
He had preliminarily experienced Yuuto's strength.
But it wasn't unbeatable as Kuroko said; as long as he worked a little harder, he could do it.
With this thought, he lowered his center of gravity.
Then.
He saw Yuuto take a step and his body reacted instantly, taking a step back.
But he didn't wait for Yuuto's breakthrough.
Instead, he watched helplessly as Yuuto pulled that foot back, gathered the ball, jumped, and hit a mid-range jumper.
6:7!
Seirin's advantage instantly shrank to just one point.
"Damn it!" Kagami gritted his teeth, clenching his hands into fists.
He was actually fooled by such a simple fake!
Fooled out of position by a jab step that even beginners know just by looking!
"That guy Kagami seems to have not realized what you said at all."
"Shouldn't be. With Little Kuroko there, he definitely would have told him."
Looking at Kagami's expression now, Kise felt it looked exactly like himself a year ago.
Back then, he was the sa, thinking that with a little more effort, he could definitely defeat Yuuto.
Until Yuuto's short hair looked as if covered by heavy snow—only then did he understand.
This wasn't a distance that could be caught up with just a little effort!
To use Akashi's words to describe it:
Like Achilles' Paradox (Zeno's Paradox). They might be able to infinitely shrink the distance to Yuuto, but they could never truly approach him.
Comparable to the Limitless Cursed Technique in that Jujutsu Kaisen manga later on.
...
The ga continued.
Back to the offensive end.
Izuki Shun was still thinking about how to break through Yuuto's finger.
The final answer was to make the ball movent faster.
This way.
Even if their offensive ideas were seen through by Yuuto, the Seiho players might not necessarily react in ti.
However.
When he made up his mind to do so, using Mitobe's screen to step inside the three-point line, only a ruthless iron hand awaited him.
Snap!
Ryuhei Kasuga was hung up by Mitobe, but he gritted his teeth and chased, forcing himself to take two steps forward.
Izuki took the opportunity to gather the ball, passing forcefully toward Kuroko with both hands. As a result, the ball was blocked by Yuuto's palm just as it left his hand.
"When?!" Izuki's pupils shook violently.
He clearly rembered that Yuuto was still near the free-throw line just now.
Because he specifically observed beforehand and confird it was safe before acting.
"Blindly relying on the shadow—how can you beco the light?"
Yuuto's calm-to-indifferent gaze swept over the opponent, then his body shot out with a whoosh.
He was extrely fast, sweeping past like a hurricane.
After all, in the Red Eye state, his five-dinsional stats reached at least 90 points.
"It's not over yet!" Taiga Kagami caught up.
Having seen the power of the Generation of Miracles, he was now very clear what level of talent the opponent was.
Little did he know, he was the most talented one.
In the future, he could contend with Aomine in speed, his defensive range could reach Murasakibara's coverage area, and his jumping could even directly block Midorima's super three-pointers...
Even if his talent hadn't been fully excavated yet, signs were already showing.
In the match against Kaijo, except for technique, he didn't fall behind Kise in any aspect.
Golden lightning flashed across Yuuto's five fingers.
Thunder Dribble, maximum power.
Taiga Kagami only felt a bolt of lightning flash before his eyes, and Yuuto in front of him had disappeared.
But his body's instinct allowed him to react quickly and complete a turn.
