Chapter 152 Victory is close at hand
Zhengbang saw that the second game had just begun, and he was already at a disadvantage. Even Nijimura's shot was intercepted by Kuroko and Itsuki, which was a huge blow to his own morale.
It can only be said that Seirin with Kuroko and without Kuroko are completely like two teams, which makes Nijimura have to be very energetic.
It was Zhenggong's turn to attack with the ball again. Seirin and everyone were still cheering and celebrating the wonderful game just now, when they suddenly felt the breath of a savage beast coming from under the opponent's basket.
Everyone in Seirin suppressed the smiles on their faces, understanding that the real showdown is coming. As long as they survive this period of time, they can basically win the game.
After Nijimura turned on 'Wild', he didn't say any nonsense. After receiving Kasuga's pass, his whole body burst out with amazing speed, and he immediately passed Seirin's defender.
Facing Kuroko's sudden appearance of stealing the ball, he sensed the danger in his heart, so he changed hands in advance and avoided it.
He also increased his speed and avoided Itsuki's hook of the eagle, and quickly rushed to the basket.
Facing the obstruction of Tsuchida and Muyoshi, Nijimura did not back down, but chose to pull up the lever and score a layup.
Seeing Hongcun's sudden outburst of one-on-five scoring, the entire basketball court was silent. They couldn't imagine that the opponent could do this.
Apart from the aces of several players, he should be the strongest player.
After Hongcun landed, he ignored everyone's surprised expressions and turned around and walked back toward his own half to prepare for defense.
Kuroko also seized this opportunity and took the initiative to go out of bounds to serve. Heizi grabbed the ball with one hand, spun it around and threw it out, hoping to complete the feat of the previous quarter.
But Nijimura, who was walking towards his own half, felt that the ball was different. He turned around at half-court and intercepted the ball with one hand.
Then he quickly launched an attack, easily dodged several defensive players and sent the ball into the basket.
Seeing that Kuroko's sudden and fast attack was easily blocked by the opponent, everyone in Seirin also understood the qualitative difference between the two sides.
It also made Seirin give up his plan to play fast break. Itsuki slowly dribbled the ball across the half court, stretched out a finger and said loudly to his teammates: "Don't worry, let's play steadily and return a goal to the opponent."
However, what Yiyue didn't expect was that the sudden outburst of Nijimura might have aroused Zhengbang's fighting spirit, and even the defense of other people in Zhengbang became more intense.
After trying two breakthrough attempts to no avail, Itsuki got past Kasuga with the help of the elusive Kuroko's pick-and-roll.
However, just when he crossed Haruhi and wanted to launch an attack, Nijimura was already standing in front of him.
Facing Nijimura's defense, Itsuki's pressure doubled, and he could only slowly dribble the ball to observe the positions of his teammates, looking for scoring opportunities.
However, Nijimura didn't give him too much time to think. He suddenly launched an attack and knocked the ball out of Itsuki's hand.
Then Nijimura got the basketball before Hinata and Oda. He quickly launched an attack and immediately left the defensive players behind. The last person rushed to the basket and scored easily.
Seeing that Nijimura was now unstoppable, Seirin and the others had no choice but to avoid Nijimura's position by passing the ball and slowly began to score points.
However, this efficiency cannot be compared with before, and it becomes increasingly difficult for Seirin to score.
On the contrary, after the outbreak in Hongcun, Zhengbang's fighting spirit was boosted, and everyone showed amazing strength.
Although Nijimura can do it on the offensive end alone, others on the defensive side also showed different strengths than before.
Although it didn't completely prevent Seirin from scoring, it also made Seirin no longer score as smoothly as before.
The second quarter of the game continued in an orderly manner. Nijimura once again avoided Kuroko's sudden attack and jumped up to score.
The whistle symbolizing the end of the second quarter also sounded at this time, but Nijimura looked at Kuroko in surprise.
‘Is it my imagination? That flash of trembling breath just now? ’
Faced with Hongcun's gaze staring at him, Kuroko gave him a flat look and walked off the field without saying anything.
What was different from the previous break in the first quarter was that everyone in Zhengbang looked beaming this time.
Jinchuan even praised Hongcun's strength without hesitation.
However, unlike everyone's joy, Hongcun looked puzzled.
Kasuga was the first to notice the difference in Nijimura, so she took the initiative to ask: "What's wrong, Nijimura. Is something wrong?"
Hearing Kasuga's question, Hongcun didn't hide it, and answered directly: "I'm not sure, but after this training camp, everyone has made breakthrough progress."
"But what about Kuroko? Judging from his two quarters of the game, he doesn't seem to have changed much. He is doing the same things as before."
"Even because Vulcan is not on the field and there is not enough light to attract attention, the strength he showed is not as good as before."
"But Alex has praised him in front of everyone more than once, and even told Shiraishi and others that if they don't pay attention, even a few of them will fall into Kuroko's way."
Hearing Hongcun's answer, everyone in Zhengbang stopped playing around. Indeed, Heizi's performance was a bit too 'sparse and ordinary'.
Are you still hiding your clumsiness on purpose now? There is still confidence that this point difference can be recovered.
Shiraishi was also very pleased to see that his teammates finally noticed the difference in Kuroko.
However, Shiraishi still opened his mouth and said to everyone: "It is true that as Nijimura-senpai said, Kuroko's performance is a bit too 'ordinary', but as long as it is a trick, the first time the effect is the best."
"I am more inclined to think that even if Kuroko fails in this competition, he will continue to be so sparse and normal. Just like Alex said, if this trick is useful to all of us, then Kuroko's first outbreak should be I will also use it when facing a few of us."
"After all, as long as it's a trick, the more times you use it, the easier it is to find its flaws, so you don't need to worry too much about this competition."
After hearing Bai Shi's words, everyone in Zhengbang didn't know whether they should be happy or sad.
After all, there should be no changes in this game, and they will win without any trouble.
But this kind of victory was achieved by the opponent who wanted to hide their weakness in order to deal with other stronger enemies and completely ignored them.
