Double AS

At the beginning of the third quarter, Tonghuang's gunfire was still fierce. Huang Lai led the outside line and Qingfeng's inside line to fight inside and outside. Several magical shots made the audience so emotional that they couldn't even sit in their chairs.But Yangquan is also worthy of being the strongest against Japan. After sweeping away the tepid momentum in the first half, he bounced back waves of fierce offensives again and again, and the offense and defense alternated violently.

Yangquan made a long pass, and Kise successfully intercepted it with a jump, and immediately dribbled the ball into the half court.The outsiders quickly followed.

"Tonghuang is attacking again!" the anchor shouted loudly.A group of black clothes rushed forward, like black arrows, straight into the restricted area of ​​Yangquan. "The queen strikes again! Will we be able to win points with the Emperor again this time?"

Kise and Sakurai teamed up with other players to continuously use pick-and-roll tactics, desperately looking for openings, but more and more people were defending Kise—they regarded him as a more terrifying threat than Aomine.

"Because there is Murasakihara on the inside, did everyone else rush out?" Looking at Yang Quan's full siege of Kise, Director Tong Huang didn't seem to feel any nervousness at all.

──It's about time.

Continuously dribbling, Kise made a single-point breakthrough with great speed, and made a quick jump shot──not shooting the basket, but hanging the ball into the penalty area.

"Return to defense!" At the same time Captain Yangquan yelled, Qingfeng and Ziyuan took off at the same time──

Aomine's take-off speed was a beat faster, but Ziyuan's outstretched arms were slightly longer.

"It can be covered!" Masako Araki yelled.In terms of arm strength, she believed that Ziyuan would never lose to Qingfeng.

Qingfeng suddenly snorted.

"I didn't intend to go in at all──" Then he turned around directly and hit it with a backhand──By using the strength of Ziyuan's dunk on the ball, he used all his strength to flick the ball directly to the side.

Kise, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately took off to intercept.

"──Cool!" shouted the long voice.

"Oops!" Yangquan people were astonished.

Kise didn't know when he broke into the restricted area.Go directly between the twin towers of Yangquan──

From the moment Kise Kyu left his hand, their attention was all attracted by Aomine, and they didn't expect that guy to enter the penalty area from the side──No, they all thought that Kise Ryota would definitely not fight with the Yangquan Twin Towers Head to head.

Although the body is twice as thin as the Yangquan Twin Towers, under the basket, the momentum definitely lives up to the name of Queen Tonghuang.

"It's just twice my age, don't be so arrogant!" Kise dribbled the ball straight to the basket.

Ziyuan and Yangquan Deputy Tower immediately jumped to block it, but Huang Lai was faster than them, and Qingfeng also defended his ace.

Yangquan Twin Towers, Tonghuang Twin Kings.Formal face-to-face confrontation.

Qingfeng got stuck in the Yangquan sub-tower, but Ziyuan stretched his arms too long—just when Huang Lai jumped up, he just hit him in the stomach with one arm.

At the same time, the ball was also released.

Midorima's high-angle shot.Perfect goal.

At the same time, Kise, who was accidentally hit in the abdomen by Murasakihara, also lost his balance and fell to the ground; he hugged his stomach, and subconsciously stretched out his right foot to support his body—it was his only healthy foot at present.

Just when the right foot touches the ground.

Snapped.

There was a slight sound.

His whole body fell down.

The whole person knelt down.Can no longer stand up.

The timeout whistle sounded.

Qingfeng rushed over immediately, and the sideline supervisor and manager also rushed onto the field.Surrounded Kise.

Kise fell to his knees and curled up.

He lowered his head, his bangs were too long to see his expression, but he could be seen clenching his teeth.My body trembled in pain.

Cold sweat kept dripping on the floor, and his face turned pale instantly.

Everyone could only stare at him blankly, stunned.

Kise tried to stand up, but to no avail.His right foot, as if the thread had been broken, did not move.Then the snow-white knee gradually swelled up.

"Don't move around! Kise!" Yuan Ze knew what was going on at a glance, and he immediately turned his head and shouted at the bench area, "First grade come here! Help him to the infirmary first! The others continue the game, but It's just a sprain! Yukino, you go on stage!" He gave instructions without hesitation.

"It's okay... This kind of pain is probably sprained, hold on until I come back, don't lose points──" Kise was still saying this to everyone when he ended up in a fight with two first-year students laughed.

"Xiao Huangzi... are you okay?" Ziyuan lowered her head, looking very worried.

"No, it's not Xiaozi's fault. The game is like this." Although she really wanted to touch his head, but Murasakihara was really too tall, so Momoi could only touch his arm instead of comfort.

"Let's continue the game──" Aomine turned his head.

"Ichinose goes down to replace Sakurai, Yukimura stays with him, keep everything as usual, work hard──" continued to direct the team members, as if nothing happened.

The game resumes.

Momoi understood what happened just now, even though Aomine didn't say a word.

But his expression obviously sank.

Looking solemn.

Although the coach came back first, Wu Yue didn't show up again for a long time, and neither did Kise.

He left for a full quarter.

In that quarter, they lost four points──

"Whoa! Ziyuan's slam dunk!" "Yangquan's demon king has finally started killing all directions! Who can stop the slam dunk!"

With the applause from the audience, the scores were tied.

Yangquan caught up with Tonghuang.

The bitter battle begins.

To be honest, Tonghuang's defense was not robust enough.They have always been the main attacking team, and even regard the phrase "attack is the best defense" as a super attacking team. Last year, the seniors who took the post of Zhongfeng all graduated, and the rookies were inexperienced. The quasi-finals are for them Too much effort.That's why Qingfeng had to give up the position of power forward and switch to center forward.

──Who told me that I was young and ignorant before, and left a lot of companions in anger.He could only accept such a report of the present world with a sullen head.

The score that was finally captured was tied.

Yangquan was originally a super-defensive team that was difficult to score. Without Kise, the situation was even more unfavorable to them-even if he did it alone, it would not be easy to score from Murasakihara.

It was all thanks to the duo of him and Huang Lai that he was able to score a few points like that before. With their unparalleled tacit understanding, they made strange moves one after another, and finally took the lead from those gaps.

Qingfeng took the lead in organizing another half-court attack, and immediately passed the ball decisively as soon as Yangquan was double-teamed──"You try your best to shoot! Mistakes don't matter!──I'm on the inside!" He yelled at the players.

Rebounds, putbacks, all they have to do is keep trying, keep trying, and never give up.

With the captain's own approval, the Tonghuangs took the reassurance like this and let go of the attack──even if they made a mistake, their Captain Qingfeng was still there!

Tonghuang once again transformed into a ferocious beast on the field.

As long as whoever gets the ball and whoever has a gap, they will shoot without hesitation-not only the outside fights are fierce, but the collisions inside are also so intense that the referee doesn't know who to blow the whistle several times.

In the following time, no one scored.

Constantly attacking, constantly resisting; offense and defense alternate, the situation remains the same.

The two sides are deadlocked.

"Hold on until I come back, don't lose points—"

"How dare you say such big words...it's really getting more and more arrogant..." He muttered to himself, but the expression on his face softened.

Memories flooded back and forth one after another. How many times has he galloped back and forth in this small, square place?The scenery around him kept changing, and his teammates kept changing, the only thing that remained the same——Kise kept running beside him.

No matter when, Huang Lai will always run by his side.

Whether it was the Emperor Guang era or the Tonghuang world, Huang Lai has always been by his side.

"──Xiao Qingfeng."

That guy also looks like Daoguang when he smiles.

The brilliant face appeared clearly in front of his eyes.

"My basketball... has always been a two-person basketball..."

He mumbled to himself, then smiled.

The two sides are fiercely attacking and defending. The game has reached the second half of the fourth quarter, and the deadlock has not yet been broken.

Both Yangquan and Tonghuang neither scored nor lost any more points.

"Could it be a playoff..." Sakurai whispered out of breath.Sweat was pouring down like a faucet, and he was panting wildly, his physical strength was almost at its limit.

──Not only him, but almost all Tonghuang players.

Qingfeng thought so.

Running for a long time without stopping and constantly attacking aggressively, most of them were already showing signs of fatigue.

"Tonghuang Academy calls timeout!"

Sakurai and another third-year student went off, replaced by two juniors, after several substitutions.Now only Aomine Daiki is left in the entire Tonghuang field as a third-year student; Aomine and Kise had such bad personalities back then that there were not many classmates who were willing to stay and play with them. It was Tonghuang's headache.

Yuan Ze pondered for a while, then dialed the phone.

Then not long after, at the player entrance, a person came out slowly.

It's Ryota Kise.

There was a thick elastic bandage around his right knee, but he looked much better already.

"I agree to your request." When he walked past Supervisor Harasawa, the supervisor said this. "There are 4 minutes left in the game. If you are really as persistent as you said──please do well." He looked sullenly, looking at Kise's legs, which were covered with black knee pads and white bandages.The expression is deep.

Facing the supervisor's cold expression, Kise just lowered his head, with a curved lips.

"I'm back, everyone──" looked up, all the players on the field, and then turned to all the audience on the sidelines, "── Are you ready to tremble all over? The black queen you've been looking forward to is back!"

He grabbed his coat and threw it back.

The audience instantly boiled over.

"Twin Towers!" "Twin Kings!" "Twin Towers!" "Twin Kings!" "Twin Towers!" "Twin Kings!" "Twin Towers!"

The two sides shouted at each other furiously.

Aomine just looked at him like that.

He also looked at Aomine like that.

whatever you want to say, whatever you want to express,

All flowed silently between their eyes.

The feeling of wanting to win is the same.

With only 4 minutes left before the finale, the return of the queen casts more variables into the deadlocked situation.

As long as anyone can break the deadlock, the balance of terror can be disintegrated in an instant, and the scale of victory will also be tilted.

Kise, who returned to the court again, obviously slowed down a lot. Sakurai was off the court, and the triangle lineup could not be formed.

The field is full of juniors who came from the bench, and the two kings alone support the overall situation.

Kise ran towards the basket, then made a sudden stop and turned back, throwing off the annoying guy who was clinging on and passing the ball.Qingfeng dribbled the ball into the penalty area from the opposite direction at lightning speed, so fast that it was too late to react.

"It's been a long time since I saw Tonghuang Shuangwang's pas de deux!" The ball commentator and anchor laughed.The ball kept shuttling between the two, and no one could touch the ball except them.Such a grand occasion has not appeared for a long, long time.

The two kings abandoned the usual triangle tactics, and switched back to their best duo in the first grade——Kise assisted, Qingfeng shot, blocking and cutting each other, and picking and rolling each other.

Tonghuang decided to abandon all defenses and attack in an all-round way.

"Little Aomine!" Kise yelled.

Yangquan's three defended together and took off at the same time—a two-meter-high wall stood in front of Qingfeng.

Aomine took off with the ball, and in mid-air──

Passing left, penetrating right, dodging three people in a row, and then backhand-shooting from behind.

Pull the bar three times.

Flowing clouds and water, in one go.

The orange ball, as if pulled by an invisible thread, wound around the basket from under the basket.

into the basket.

"There are monsters of this level in Japan..." He actually pulled the lever three times in a row in the air.Even scouts who have seen games big and small in the United States are overwhelmed.Actually pulled the lever three times in a row in the air──

"The same picture...the last time I saw it was in the Bulls vs. Cavaliers game in 1989..." The scout fixed his eyes on Tonghuangbei No. 5 who was receiving cheers from the audience.That expression was as shocked as it could be.

Although his movements were not sharp enough, and his opponents were not that strong, he was able to learn [-] to [-]% of Jordan's movements with his only talent, which was beyond the level of a genius.

"It makes sense to come all the way," the UNC scout murmured.He believes that other scouts on the field and even in front of the TV have the same idea as him.

This guy, Aomine Daiki, if he stays in Japan, it's just a matter of nature.

He needs a bigger stage.

competition is over.Tonghuang narrowly beat Yangquan by two points.

The entire audience stood up, each of them blushed with excitement, and everyone was shouting that person's name──

"Aomine!" "Aomine!" "Aomine!" "Aomine!" "Aomine!" "Aomine!" "Aomine!" "Aomine!" "Aomine!"

Also mixed with uncontrollable screams.

"Tomorrow's sports news will definitely be headlined by Ada!" Momoi burst into tears with excitement.

"Aomine-kun is going to live a life of being pestered by a group of scouts again..." The classroom and gymnasium will definitely be overwhelmed.Supervisor Yuan Ze couldn't help showing a wry smile when he thought of the crowds in his gymnasium tomorrow.

The two kings stood side by side, looking up.

The lights are so brilliant.

Both sides lined up, bowed, and thanked each other for their all-out efforts.

Although some people cried, but... this is a good game that no one will regret.

Tonghuang and Yangquan left from both sides of the field, and the staff hurried forward to clean up the field and prepare for the next quasi-finals—Luoshan VS Seirin.

As soon as they left, Momoi and the medical staff of the conference rushed up.

Aomine suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder──

Kise fell down.

It seems that all the strength has been exhausted.

It wasn't until he was sure to leave the court that he fell down in relief.
