章 46: Chapter 46: Another stage
In the warm atmosphere of the stadium, both teams left the court. Of course, the cheers from the audience were all for Aizen. Everyone could see that Jianguang was tied with Teikō solely because of Aizen's strength. If Aizen's abilities were even slightly less, the game would be one-sided. Aizen's strong individual heroism was evident in this game, which was also what most of the audience loved.
After leaving the court, Aizen sat down. His energy consumption was significant after dealing with Kise and then Aomine. In a round-robin battle, Aizen was very thirsty. Just then, a teammate handed him a bottle of water. Aizen took it and drank without saying a word. Everyone saw this and said nothing, and the coach only gave a few simple reminders to pay attention to defense. There was no need for excessive tactical arrangements; the game's outcome depended entirely on Aizen, who was resting with a towel on his head.
On Teikō's side, after everyone left the court, they were ready to open up the score in one go in the third quarter. Aomine initially wanted to continue competing with Aizen, but after calming down, he realized it was unnecessary. He lost the duel between them, and with his current physical strength, it was impossible to beat Aizen—unless he could enter that realm now...
Midorima spoke seriously, "Okay, it's enough for you two to be willful. Let's play the game properly next." He looked at Kise and Aomine with a serious expression. After seeing Aomine also defeated by Aizen, Kise felt better. Being named by Midorima, he smiled awkwardly, while Aomine remained silent.
...
The second half began. Teikō attacked, and Aomine controlled the ball. This time, he did not advance quickly but moved forward steadily. When he reached Aizen, he passed the ball to Akashi at the three-point line. Aizen was stunned, not expecting Aomine to pass. He thought Aomine would continue to attack him, as it would have meant conceding victory in their competition. But Aizen had no time to revel in his victory; a sense of solemnity rose within him. He knew the game had entered another stage.
After Akashi got the ball, he looked at the defender in front of him with an expressionless face. His orange pupils shrank instantly. After two powerful dribbles, Aizen's teammate knelt before Akashi. Akashi made a shot! The process was simple and concise, without a single fancy move or physical contact. Aizen watched and could only think, "This kid is really something."
After the goal, the stadium was briefly silent. They had expected the offensive drama to continue, not realizing Teikō would play differently. After Akashi scored, they reacted, marveling at his strength.
"Akashi Seijuro, his play is still so deadly!"
"It feels different from others."
While everyone marveled at Teikō's strength, Aizen received the serve. As he advanced with the ball, he noticed that Aomine was still the main defender with no substitution. But Aizen's [Metavision] revealed that the opponent's position was now different, deliberately defending him. Facing Aomine, Aizen opened [Metavision], and the two broke through to the inside line.
However, Aomine had lost his best defensive position. Seeing this, Aizen immediately jumped and shot. Midorima Shintarō, who had been watching closely, jumped up to block the shot, with Aomine quickly catching up. For a moment, they were like two ghosts in the air, increasing the pressure on Aizen. But he did not panic. Activating [Confrontation Core], Aizen improved his air retention and carefully selected the shooting point, with an 85% hit rate. Aizen shot, and the ball went in!
Although he scored, his shooting posture this time was less graceful due to his tiredness and the effort of dealing with two defenders. Before Aizen could catch his breath, the opponent had already served the ball. Switching offense, Akashi controlled the ball. Seeing this, Aizen threw Aomine aside and took the initiative to defend Akashi directly. The audience was excited, anticipating the clash of the two captains.
Facing Akashi, Aizen felt the kid was really strange. The heterochromatic eyes gave him a great sense of oppression. Akashi calmly controlled the ball and walked toward Aizen, not in a hurry to break through. He looked up at Aizen for two seconds with a look that seemed to control everything, then said, "The play just now gave you unrealistic fantasies. Let me tell you why Teikō is undefeated! Besides, I hate looking up at people, so kneel down!"
As Akashi finished speaking, Aizen activated [Metavision]. He instantly knew what the opponent and he would do next. Sure enough, Akashi dribbled, aiming to shift Aizen's center of gravity and seize a flaw. Aizen seized the opportunity, poking the ball with his long arm just as it left Akashi's palm. At that moment, the ball was ownerless, and both scrambled for it.
Akashi was startled by Aizen's sudden action. Activating Emperor Eye, he saw through Aizen's move but couldn't react in time. In such a narrow space, even with Emperor Eye, there was no room to maneuver. Aizen used his physical advantage, knocking Akashi to the ground. Akashi was confused, having never experienced such a confrontation on the back line. His usual opponents couldn't even touch him.
After stealing the ball from Akashi, Aizen sprinted and dunked in front of everyone's confused eyes. After dunking, Aizen looked back at Akashi, laughing inwardly.
