[You found a direction, planning to master the Barrier Jumper.]
[You know very well the principle of this shot is actually a step-back three-pointer.]
[To achieve not being infringed or interfered with by the opponent, the key lies in the retreat speed being fast enough.]
[You quickly mastered this shot. Hyuga Junpei's signature shot is not too difficult for you.]
[You spent so ti successfully integrating the Barrier Jumper into your playing style.]
[But you were not satisfied.]
[Although your purpose in practicing many skills is to improve Technique attributes by bugging (exploiting) the system.]
[However, these skills mastered by you will eventually be put into actual combat.]
[You started working on the Barrier Jumper. Hyuga Junpei, that four-eyed guy, couldn't exert the limit of the step-back shooting technique.]
[You thought of Harden, and his double step-back three-pointer.]
[This shooting action was once considered a foul by fans, but in the basketball rule "012," the step a player moves forward after gathering the ball doesn't count as the first step. And players can pass or shoot within two steps after gathering the ball.]
[Therefore, Harden's double step-back conforms to basketball rules, provided the action must be continuous and there cannot be a travel (extra steps).]
[The advantages of the double step-back shot are many. First, it can improve shooting stability. Second, it can avoid defensive interference by adjusting the center of gravity and footwork.]
[You thought this shouldn't stump you, but you were wrong. This set of movents is extrely difficult to complete.]
[Harden's double step-back shot is hailed as reshaping the league's shooting style. His unassisted three-point offense is number one in history.]
[But in history, many outstanding stars couldn't master its essence.]
[Even players like Stephen Curry, Kyrie Irving, Joel Embiid were called for traveling due to uncoordinated movents.]
[But you have enough patience, and you are stubborn enough. Once decided to do it, no matter how much ti it takes, you will stick to it to the end.]
[You started practicing the double step-back shot frantically, and planned to integrate it into the Barrier Jumper later, to achieve truly inviolable!]
[Soon, it was ga day again.]
[You have no opponents in Tochigi Prefecture anymore. Teams here cannot bring you any trouble.]
[You killed out of the encirclent from Tochigi Prefecture for three consecutive years, breaking into the final National Tournant main draw.]
[Your double step-back shot started to beco coherent, but still couldn't be put into actual combat.]
[It is worth ntioning that Kuroko completed his Phantom Shot, and Haizaki's new skill package also has a clue, but still cannot be put into actual combat.]
[You started teaching Kuroko the Vanishing Drive, and studied new skill packages with Haizaki as much as possible.]
[Soon, two months passed.]
[On this day, you ca to Kanagawa. This year's National Tournant will be held in the second largest city in the island nation.]
[Round of 64 (64 to 32), you won without shedding blood.]
[This year, you are still rated as an S-level team by the dia, while Teiko is the sole SS tier.]
[Fans generally believe that this year's National Tournant champion will only be produced between you and Teiko, but more than 60% of fans think Teiko will complete the unprecedented National Tournant three-peat.]
[You told teammates not to be influenced.]
[Before the National Tournant ends, all mbers are forbidden to watch any newspapers, cut off contact with the outside world, and devote themselves wholeheartedly to the ga.]
[Round of 32 (32 to 16), you still didn't encounter any sniping.]
[You were too strong; many players chose to give up halfway.]
[Teiko was even more dominant than you. Starting from the Round of 64, they have already completed 2 shutouts.]
[This is a basketball ga, not a soccer ga. They actually made the opponent score zero points.]
[This year's National Tournant beca a one-man show (duet) between you and Teiko.]
[You both felt imnse pressure.]
[Then, you t Teiko.]
[Still in the Round of 16 (16 to 8), as if destined.]
[This day.]
[This multi-functional gymnasium in Kanagawa was filled with enthusiastic fans.]
[Everyone was looking forward to the start of this battle of the century.]
[Before the ga started, you looked at each other across the center line, like the Chu River and Han Border (Chess boundary/opposing sides).]
[You are familiar enough with each other, but with the joining of Haizaki and Kuroko, the relationship between your two teams beca more complicated.]
["Tetsuya." "Aomine-kun." Kuroko and Aomine faced each other again.]
["I thought you stopped playing; good to see you." "Just don't want others to think you are a player on my level." Kise also faced Haizaki.]
[Midorima looked at Sakurai Ryō. The forr's expression was cold as always, the latter had a very scared expression on his face.]
[Murasakibara Atsushi didn't even look at your center.]
["Please advise." "Please advise." You shook hands simply with Akashi, releasing imdiately upon touch.]
[Your reunion was not as intense as people expected. No tit for tat, no swords drawn and bows bent. It was unexpectedly calm.]
[But in your hearts, you both sentenced the other to death directly.]
[The ga started.]
[Jump ball segnt, Murasakibara Atsushi won the victory, but the referee gave him a jump ball violation. Believing he jumped early.]
[But Akashi and you saw very clearly, including Haizaki, Kuroko, and Aomine. Murasakibara Atsushi did not foul; he just reacted too fast.]
[Your possession.]
[First attack, you passed the ball directly to Kuroko. The basketball refracted to Haizaki's hand. Haizaki isolated Kise and succeeded.]
[He sprayed trash talk at Kise.]
[Turning back, Akashi also didn't choose to challenge your defense; he assisted Aomine for a layup.]
[The ga proceeded extrely fast. Your fast-paced exchange of fire dazzled the audience.]
[Your brain operated at high speed, recording everything happening on the simulated court.]
[The turning point happened at the end of the first quarter. Kuroko looked at the flying ball, turned sideways for a touch pass, but halfway to Haizaki, the ball was caught one-handed by Aomine.]
["Haven't changed at all." Aomine's words carried thick disappointnt. "You really haven't changed at all. Maybe Akashi was right; your basketball simply can't win, Tetsuya."]
[Teiko counterattacked; Midorima hit a three-pointer.]
[But really no change?]
[Soon Kuroko showed his difference.]
[His breakthrough was like vanishing; his shot could pass through opponent blocks.]
[Driving and shooting, he alone hacked 6 points.]
[Such a change surprised Akashi.]
["How is it, Akashi? Did you see this future?" You spoke plainly to Akashi. "Did the sixth man you created surprise you?"]
[Akashi's eyes narrowed.]
