Chapter 33
If He Doesn't Give, Can't We Take It?
At this moment, the Zhaorong High School team immediately rushed forward in unison.
They had anticipated this possibility long ago.
Aomine Daiki's speed had left a deep impression on everyone at Zhaorong High School.
Therefore, facing Aomine's attack, their defensive line was also incredibly swift and thorough.
From the previous game footage, Mu Ji Tie Ping and his teammates had grasped Aomine Daiki's attacking habits.
They even gave him a vivid nickname – The Overbearing Teenage Shooter.
A player who preferred to play alone.
Of course, his outstanding individual ability was his strength.
No one at Zhaorong High School denied this.
Precisely because of this, the Zhaorong team had prepared meticulously.
Now was the time for his special "treatment"!
"Reinforcements!"
Zhaorong High School's interior defense immediately formed.
It was almost as solid as a bronze wall and an iron fortress, completely cutting off Aomine Daiki's attacking path.
This defensive line was clearly prepared in advance.
"Oh no!"
"Look, Aomine Daiki of Teikou High School, he's in almost the exact same situation as before!"
"Does he want to challenge Zhaorong High School's defense too!?"
"I don't think this is a good thing at all!"
"The defense has formed, just waiting for him to walk right into it!"
This commentary rang out, instantly making the audience tense.
Could it be... that such a thing would really happen!?
Two consecutive blocks!?!
This would deal a heavy blow to the team's morale!
However, just as everyone was about to label Aomine Daiki with the same "mixed hotpot" as Haizaki Shogo, something unexpected happened.
As Aomine Daiki leaped into the air, he suddenly twisted his body, and in an extremely bizarre posture, threw the ball!
The ball soared over everyone's heads, flying high towards Li Zhong Shu on the perimeter.
"Thwack!"
Li Zhong Shu caught the ball.
He looked up, and there was no one in front of him.
At this moment, he didn't hesitate, immediately taking a three-point shot.
Decisive and resolute!
"Swish!"
The ball drew a graceful arc in the air.
Then.
It hit the rim.
And immediately bounced out.
To be honest, Li Zhong Shu initially thought his special training had some effect.
But now it seemed.
His shooting ability was indeed his lowest attribute.
Truly consistently inconsistent!
Although a little embarrassed.
However, Li Zhong Shu didn't mind.
Because he was well aware that he still had teammates.
That was Murasakibara Atsushi!
At this moment, a figure suddenly shot up under the basket.
In an instant, Murasakibara Atsushi's figure surpassed the others by an arm's length.
In mid-air, he directly controlled the rebounding ball that had flown off the backboard.
He gripped the ball tightly with both hands.
Immediately after, he fiercely slammed the ball into the basket!
Slam!!!
It's in!!!
"Unbelievable, is this the true strength of Teikou High School!"
At this moment, the commentator cheered:
"This shot is truly a perfect display of talent and discipline, absolutely spectacular!"
The audience was also incredibly excited at this moment.
Because the combat power displayed by Teikou High School was much stronger than they had imagined!
"It seems this match still holds many mysteries."
"Exactly, I thought Zhaorong High School was so strong, the match would end quickly."
"Teikou High School's strength cannot be underestimated!"
"Although they are two different types of teams, one leaning towards experience, the other towards talent, their strengths are both formidable."
"Too spectacular, too spectacular!"
...
On Zhaorong High School's side, upon seeing the opponent score, they realized that their prior preparation seemed to have taken an unexpected turn.
Logically speaking, Aomine Daiki shouldn't have passed the ball in that situation...
This didn't align with his previous habits.
But, after noticing this situation, Mu Ji Tie Ping smiled.
After all, this was the essence of a match!
Because you never know how your opponent will change.
You also never know what interesting surprises will emerge during the game.
At this moment, Li Zhong Shu slowly said to him:
"You guys prepared early, didn't you? But unfortunately, people grow."
From the previous plays, Li Zhong Shu had realized.
Zhaorong High School's defensive strategy for them had undergone targeted training.
From initially targeting Murasakibara Atsushi's athletic intuition.
To subsequently blocking Aomine Daiki's breakthrough path, it was clear.
These guys had put in a lot of effort to face this match.
However.
Mu Ji Tie Ping merely smiled.
Then generously admitted:
"I didn't expect you to grow so fast, clearly without much time."
"In our Dragon Country, there's a saying: 'One must rub their eyes and look anew after three days of separation.'"
"Rub my eyes and look anew? Interesting."
However, Mu Ji Tie Ping chuckled and said:
"Nevertheless, what you consider growth might not have exceeded our expectations."
"Then let's see."
...
Zhaorong High School attacked again, still choosing Haizaki Shogo as their offensive spearhead.
And this guy lived up to Zhaorong High School's expectations.
He fulfilled his responsibilities very well.
He was directly bypassed by the opponent, who then scored with a beautiful layup right in front of him.
Score!
In an instant, both sides attacked without hesitation.
Every offense was a perfect combination of power and skill.
The match was incredibly exciting.
The score between the two sides always remained a tight two or three points.
Nothing changed.
However, Teikou High School's problem at this moment was that Haizaki Shogo was extremely annoyed that Li Zhong Shu kept not passing him the ball.
"Swish!"
Following Katou's three-point shot, the score difference between the two teams reached four points.
And, most importantly.
These two points were scored right over Haizaki Shogo's head!
As he returned to defense, Katou slowly opened his mouth and said:
"Heh, these two points were also taken right over your head, thanks, brother."
"At the celebration party, there'll be a share for you."
...
Silence.
Haizaki Shogo was silenced by that remark.
Damn it!
What do you mean there'll be a share for me at your celebration party?!
There's a good saying: either explode in silence, or perish in silence.
And quite obviously, Haizaki Shogo chose the former.
"That damned guy..."
Today was supposed to be his personal showcase.
But now, the situation was completely different from what he had predicted!
The opponents barely treated him like a person!
Scoring repeatedly over his head was one thing; winning and losing were common in war.
However, what Haizaki Shogo couldn't tolerate.
Was this contemptuous attitude from the opponent!
"Damn it... damn it!"
If it weren't for that damned Li Zhong Shu not passing him the ball, how could he be looked down upon by them?!!
And at this moment, a thought suddenly surged in his mind.
That's right.
If Li Zhong Shu wouldn't give it, then he...
What if he took it?
