Double AS

"Kose... is he really alright?" At the end of the halftime, he was carried away by Aomine and another teammate, feeling that every step he took was extremely painful.

"Don't pity him." Heizi said coldly.

Vulcan turned his head in surprise, "What did you say?!"

Anticipating Vulcan's reaction, Heizi's reaction was very flat.

"If Vulcan-kun sympathizes with Kise-kun, this is the greatest blasphemy against him and his basketball──Facing a good opponent, the greatest respect is to go all out."

Although the tone is calm, it contains absolute power.

"That... of course I know."

Although he said so, his tightly knit brows loosened instantly; the inner activities of Vulcan Lord are too easy to deconstruct—— Heizi thought silently.

"Then... I won't play in the third quarter, and the team will be handed over to Vulcan-kun." Then he said suddenly.

"Huh!? What!?"

"Well, I want to take a good rest." Heizi put on his coat directly, sat down on the bench by the court and began to drink his drink.

"── Please let me rest with peace of mind and have a good rest. If it's Vulcan-kun, there will be no problem." His eyes looked calmly and sincerely into the depths of his partner's pupils.

The finale sounded.The second half is about to begin.

"I, I know, I really can't do anything about you──" Before leaving the court, Vulcan turned around and pointed at Hei Zi who was sitting on the sidelines, "You must come back in the fourth quarter!"

"It's too dark, Kuroko."

"Complete psychological warfare, Kuroko."

I couldn't help but sympathize with the simple Vulcan.

Facing the complaints from his teammates, Heizi had no intention of refuting; his eyes were chasing after his teammates who were trying to run back and forth on the field, although he was not the kind of explicit character who would yell, but burning in his heart, the pair of victories The desire is stronger than the average person──

"I've never concealed my ambition to win Seirin's championship—at least before graduation... once, it's good to win once." Hands clasped tightly.

On his shoulders is also the wish of the seniors to hand over the baton.

He wanted it to happen, and it was his wish.

That resolute look in his eyes is worthy of Captain Seirin.

"──And I understand Vulcan Lord's character very well. He is too soft-hearted. You can't let that happen." Heizi said leisurely.

He also didn't think Kise-kun wanted them to treat him like this.

"It's so dark, Captain." "It's so dark, Captain." The tone has completely changed into admiration.

At the beginning of the second half, Seirin replaced two new bloods to cooperate with Vulcan, and quickly increased the attack speed. Vulcan's main axis, Fuqi Jun dispatched, and Heizi sat on the sidelines, calmly staring at everything on the field.

"The captain of Seirin...although his skills are not as comprehensive as those of the Generation of Miracles, but he has...weapons that no one else has." Whether as a player or as a coach, he has never met him in his long sports career. Such a unique player, "We have met our opponent." Yuan Zeked said seriously.

"Of course, Ah Zhe is my first love." Momoi brushed her long hair and smiled. "In the last battle, it's really not good to meet them." Her expression seemed to be very happy.

It's been a long time since I felt like my nerves were so tense that they were about to break.

In the middle of the third quarter, Seirin began to show his power from the outside; the two shooters trained by Aida Keitora took turns to fire from the side and from the bottom line, and then cooperated with Vulcan and Fukuda's double-teaming, and Kiri without Kise The imperial triangle was dismantled.

As soon as Aomine holds the ball, Seirin will immediately switch to a zone defense, forming a half-court pressure, preventing Tonghuang and others from crossing the defense to assist, forcing Aomine to fight alone in a disguised form—and then fight with Vulcan at the basket to one.

Sweeping away the fast running and bombing in the first half, Seirin immediately turned into a steady half-court attack after the score was evened.

Looking at Supervisor Tonghuang's stunned expression.Supervised by Seirin, Aida Jinghu showed a smug smile──"Who said running and bombing is a small ball tactic played by teams that can't defend? Xiaoke is really too young." That's great!"

There is nothing more threatening than internal and external tactics.

No one would have dreamed that the small ball speed battle from the beginning to the present would come to a sudden stop and become a traditional offensive mode.

When the point difference was pulled to six points, Tonghuang finally called a timeout.

Seirin was actually ahead of Emperor Tong.And it looks like it's doing well.

At the same time Tonghuang called a timeout, Heizi also took off his jacket.

"Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Jiangqi should take a good rest, and I will replace the rest." He patted Mr. Jiangqi who was out of breath, and replaced him.

"Didn't you say you want to play in the fourth quarter?" Vulcan was shocked.The third quarter is not over yet.

"Anyway, I have achieved my goal." Lala's wristband was about to play again. "Huh!?!?" Vulcan, who was completely confused about the situation.

In the second half of the third quarter, Captain Seirin returned to the court again.

Not long after the start of the match again, Heizi intercepted the ball and immediately faced Tonghuang's Aomine—the man who had been named "Emperor" for three years.Former partner, today's rival.

Looking up and looking down, the two eyes met at the same time.It's a signal for a duel.

"It's appeared! The duel between the captain and the captain!" the anchor Yamashita shouted excitedly.

"Is the height difference really okay?" The ball commentator Kobayashi shook his head with a smile. Although they are both captains, the difference in stature is really too great.

"No matter what, you can't lose your momentum! The challenge that comes to you can only be met with all your strength!"

Instead of letting them pull the rhythm away, he might as well come to the door and challenge their captain one-on-one.Qingfeng thought.

──Let them understand that they are the masters here.

It's not difficult to recover that little point, but Seirin has already mastered the rhythm.Whether it's inside or outside, they came prepared──"No wonder Zhe is so confident..."

After three years, Seirin is no longer the kind of team that can be easily slapped in the face by them."

He stared at Heizi, who was also facing a formidable enemy.

They read each other's minds.

"It turns out... that's the idea, your shadow is really dark enough──Zhe."

Speed ​​up the pace of the game, let Tonghuang unconsciously follow their fierce rhythm, consume their energy, and let Kise leave the field early──wait until the score is evened before turning into a steady and steady half-court attack, step by step. The score is pulled back.

Aomine showed a smile of understanding.

It really deserves to be his shadow.

"I'm also playing with a considerable risk on my side. Aomine-kun." This side also has a desperate expression.

This kind of tactics is like a double-edged sword. If you are not careful, you will be the one who suffers the backlash.

But if they don't do this, they have no chance of defeating Emperor Tong.

In the last ball game of his high school career, he could only put all his bets on it and fight hard.

"Don't ask Kise-kun to come back?" Heizi said to his former partner seriously, "If this goes on, it will be a matter of time before the point difference is widened." As long as the point difference reaches a certain level, the opponent's fighting spirit It will be greatly weakened, and then they only need to master the rhythm and stick to it until the end.

Facing an opponent stronger than yourself, in addition to having a strong determination to pursue victory, you must also have a calm head; this is not his own basketball, nor is it the basketball of him and Vulcan—it is everyone's basketball.Including the current team members and the seniors who entrusted the future to them.

He once promised to those seniors who left with regrets that, given him two years, he would lead Seirin to victory──

Now, this is his last chance.

"I'm not good enough to turn a blind eye to your weaknesses. All of you, Emperor Tong." A flame called winning was ignited in his eyes.

"Coincidentally, I think so too." Aomine snorted, "We really hit it off in basketball---" Then, he laughed.

Tong Huang rushed to catch up, and Cheng Lin resisted tenaciously all the way.

The point difference was narrowed for a while, but the points were never really evened out—the gap has been swinging back and forth between three and four points, which made even the hearts of the spectators tense.

Although it feels bad to fall into the opponent's trap, it's even worse to let someone control the field like that──"Momoi, go to the waiting room and ask Kise to get ready, and ask him to come back as soon as the fourth quarter begins." The supervisor has also made up his mind here.

It was hard to come here, and there is no way out, so we must not fall short.

At the end of the third quarter, Kise, who was injured, returned to the field again, and Tonghuang immediately set off a burst of cheers—as long as there are two kings on the field, it seems that there is a guarantee of victory.

"I'm sorry... Phew... Kise-kun... I'm going to end first... I'm really sorry..." Sakurai almost dragged his feet back to the rest area.From the first quarter to the present, he has been on the verge of the limit.

"Thank you for your hard work, thank you for holding my position for so long." Kise touched Xiao Liang's shoulder.Tonghuang's third pillar.

"Please give them a good look, our queen──"

Sakurai looked at him like that.

──It’s hard to come here, no one wants to lose.

The fourth quarter starts.

Yuan Ze replaced a batch of new blood.He needs players with enough physical strength to share Kise's workload.

On and off the field.

Coaches and players.

Both sides are fighting to the death.

"Although I know you are injured, I won't release water." When Ayumi Kase came on stage, Vulcan said to him.

"If you show mercy, I will hate you forever."

Now that you have decided to be willful, let's be willful to the end──

Aomine just looked at him like that.Kise understood his eyes and nodded slightly.

Xiaoqingfeng is probably the only man who can make him act like this?

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Kise-kun." This section begins with him guarding Kise.

"I've heard what the supervisor said. Kuroko, you did it on purpose──that's really bad."

"I haven't fully recovered my physical strength yet, but I've made up my mind that I'm going to fall to the ground when the whistle sounds."

"In this regard, the two of us are actually evenly matched, right?" Kise looked at Heizi's hand.

There is probably no way to launch that kind of miraculous pass a few more times.

"It's really sharp." Heizi smiled slightly.

"This is the intuition of the wounded soldier──"

However, this kind of heavy-duty skill has an upper limit for one use, so it's not news.Heizi didn't intend to hide it either.

He wasn't a man who got here simply by relying on one or two skills.

"Are you serious?" Kise looked at him.

"Yeah, let's get serious──Let me teach you what basketball is. Kise-kun."

He tugged at the black wristband on his hand.

"This is your last lesson as your educator."

The fourth game officially started, and with the hard work of Tonghuang's new blood, they managed to get back a few points at the basket; the ball changed hands several times in turn, and then no one could successfully break through the penalty area.

"──Kise!" With a fierce block, Aomine grabbed Seirin's dunk from behind, and with a long pass, the ball crossed the half court to Kise's hands, launching a surprise attack in an instant.

"Can block shots like a center forward, grab offensive rebounds like a power forward, and score consecutive shots like a small forward—what position in the penalty area can Qingfeng not play?" The ball critic couldn't help laughing sigh.

He really was born to eat this bowl of rice.He was born to be a player.

After receiving the ball, Kise rushed to the penalty area of ​​Seirin, who was too late to defend, but was stopped halfway──

"Here we come! The oneonone duel between Captain Seirin and Empress Tonghuang! ──By the way, when did that little guy suddenly appear? What? Has he been there all the time?"

"It's amazing, it was Xiao Heizi who taught me how to play at the beginning, and I played with Xiao Heizi in the last game. It's really a wonderful fate──" Stopping at the free throw line, Kise said calmly Dribble.

"It's an honor to be Kise-kun's last opponent." The eyes of the two met.

"I heard that Kise-kun's ball was taught by Seirin's captain, he was his beginner teacher." Kobayashi, the ball commentator, said that he didn't know where he got the gossip.

"Wow, isn't this a wonderful master-student duel? The camera is cueing—what? The height gap is too large and Kise can only be photographed? Then... I don't think the audience will mind."

"You'll be trashed by Seirin's supporters."

As a result, the photographer still zoomed out, and finally captured the picture of the two of them in the same mirror.

The two confronted each other like that, neither of them dared to take the first action.

"Basketball, is it fun?" Heizi asked.

"Well, it's interesting."

"Like it?"

"Hmm──I like it very much. I like basketball the most!"

His eyes were obviously more relieved.

"Then let's have a match without regret──" he said to Kise.

Throwing the ball violently on the ground, the ball bounced off the opponent's step──No one thought that Kise would not pass the ball from a high position in the face of so many sunspots who were short in stature, not only Seirin, but even Tonghuang himself They were all stunned for a moment.

"Kawahara!" "Okamura!"

Aomine and Heizi yelled at their center at the same time──The ball had already bounced into the penalty area, and the center forwards on both sides had no time to catch it, only Vulcan jumped directly to steal──

The rescue was successful in time, and the ball was shot hard.

"Don't get in my way!" Kise directly dunked the flying ball, flew over the penalty area, and directly dunked the ball back to the basket.

──Vulcan made a free throw tip-up.

"It's a perfect COPY—it's even more perfect than the real one." He showed an enchanted smile.

Vulcan stared, unable to believe his eyes.

"A man with good hands and feet actually lost a wounded man. How embarrassing, Seirin's ACE."

Immediately turned around and joined Qingfeng.

Tonghuang counterattacked strongly.The scores were evened out.

Aomine made a shot from midfield, leaned back in the air, and pulled the bar to shoot—the ball passed through the two defenders and followed a chaotic route to the basket with ease. "Buy one get one free, don't thank me too much──" In just 3 minutes, he had already responded with two fadeaways to Seirin.

Tonghuang's momentum was fully opened again.

"It's too arrogant! Four points in a row! Four points in a row! Two kings shot! Who will fight for the front!" Now, no one can be sure who will win this time!" The speed of the broadcast cannot match the game situation, the offensives of the two sides are switching too fast, and it is impossible to catch up just by watching from the sidelines.

Time passed bit by bit, and the rhythm of offense and defense on the court was getting higher and higher.

The scores of the two sides were desperately catching up, and no one really overwhelmed the other.

"Ichinose!" The ball bounced off the hands of Tonghuang's junior.Kise couldn't help screaming.

"Yes, I'm sorry!" Although he immediately flew to rescue him, it was already too late.

Seirin seized the mistake and launched a counterattack. After several mistakes in a row, all the four points that were robbed were taken back──"Alley-oop!" Seirin burst into cheers from the sidelines.

After fighting for 10 minutes, the point difference finally widened slightly.

Just as Seirin was cheering, Emperor Tong also called a timeout.

With the fast breaks in turn, the probability of mistakes also increases; after all, not everyone is the generation of miracles, and it is too difficult for people to keep up with this speed and be accurate.

"Replace Kise." Supervisor Harasawa said directly.

"Replacing him, the burden of others can be reduced, and the overall speed can be increased—we have a few minutes left, and we have to do our best to pull points." He meant it seriously.

Facing the supervisor's merciless words, Kise didn't say anything, but just looked firmly at Aomine, his captain, and his partner; from the beginning to the end, his eyes never changed.

Qingfeng also looked at him.

It only takes one look to understand.

"No, just keep it like this." Qingfeng directly rejected the supervisor's request. "Let him continue to play, and I will bear all the responsibilities."

"Thank you for allowing me to be selfish...Xiao Qingfeng..."

"It's useless for me to do it alone." He swept his teammates around him who also nodded in agreement.

"Thank you very much everyone..." I was so choked up that I couldn't say a complete sentence.

In the second half of the fourth quarter, the game is about to come to an end.

Led by the two kings, all the way to the storm──

Aomine dribbled the ball for a layup, but was slapped away by Vulcan from the back. The ball bounced off the court directly, and Kase had no time to save it.

Although he rested for a whole quarter, Kise's leg injury was really serious; Aomine knew that he had exhausted all his ability in that COPY Vulcan tip-up. From just now until now, he only had hook shots besides assists. These two modes──Kise couldn't quite jump up anymore.

Qingfeng frowned deeply.

Seirin's run-and-gun strategy at the beginning was really effective. Even if the supervisor found out in time to stop and call the card, the physical strength that had been consumed would not come back; after experiencing their steady and conservative style of play in the third quarter, now From the looks of it, Seirin's remaining physical strength is generally higher than Tonghuang's.

One of the double kings was injured, everyone was tired, and only Qingfeng was left under the basket to support the overall situation.

The players stare blankly at the time on the clock board.

Time was running out, and their physical strength was stretched to the limit.

A sense of desperation strikes—

Although the game is still going on, they have given up running.

They are already struggling.

"Damn it!" Looking at the pair of eyes that were gradually dimming, Qingfeng only clicked his tongue, and a smooth block directly intercepted the opponent's ball, without waiting for anyone to support a person's strong layup──Forcibly scored two points.

He directly slandered—

"──Is it just that you panic after being ahead by a few points? You are all too used to the feeling of being chased, and you don't know what to do if you change positions? Don't look hopeless!"

"However people slap you in the face, just hit me back! Kill them!" Tonghuang's only captain yelled.

It was like two slaps on everyone's faces, and they woke up.

"That Aomine Daiki...is really a very special player." The scout couldn't help admiring.Both technical and psychological qualities have far exceeded the level of student players.

"It seems that we are caught in a dilemma." "Whether it is Aomine or Vulcan, they are all talents that the University of North Carolina desperately desires──"

Tonghuang finally launched a counterattack. Time passed by every minute and every second. As the game drew to a close, the artillery fire from both sides became more and more intense.

The seconds start counting down.

Qingfeng pulled the bar for layups one after another.No one could resist his fadeaway jumper and indeterminate layup, and Vulcan immediately responded with a reverse dunk, a windmill layup -- and finally a shooting star dunk.

Such a fierce offense and defense can be described as repeatedly bombing the opponent's basket.

Magic Time.

"Am I watching the NBA All-Star Game?" The anchor yelled and danced, unable to sit calmly on the chair. It was less than ten seconds before the end, and the situation was still unclear. "It's already reached this time, and the two sides are still desperately chasing points!" "Both sides are monsters!"

"This is the most exciting and unpredictable game I have broadcast for more than ten years!"

Finally-

The final sound finally sounded, 120 to 120.

The game went into a playoff.

Both Aomine and Vulcan were sweating profusely.In the last few minutes, it was simply a one-on-one show between the two.

Sweat dripped down like rain, both of them were panting, fighting each other with their eyes.

Completely entered the world of rapt attention──

"Did you see it too? That world." Qingfeng raised his lips, revealing that signature arrogant expression.

"Hmm..." Vulcan glared at him, "It's not as exaggerated as I imagined. But it's just you, the ball and the basket."

It took three years to finally reach the legendary Zone, the realm without self.A peak, a limit state.

But that is not the most important thing to him.

"Even if I don't rely on that, I can defeat you." Vulcan Taiga resolutely said.

He didn't play basketball alone.

Qingfeng smiled.

"Do you want to continue fighting? Kise-kun." Kuroko said to Kise who was already on the verge of limit; of course, his own physical strength had also reached its limit.Whether it's Seirin or Tonghuang, it's true.

"I want it. Of course I want it." Kise replied firmly.

The overused feet have begun to tremble uncontrollably.

"──These 5 minutes are 5 extra minutes given to me by God. Let me continue to stay here for another 5 minutes."

Even if he fell to his knees in the end, he would never be able to stand up again.He also wants to stay here until the sound of the finale, the moment when the winner is decided──

"Because this is my favorite place."
