บท 45: Chapter 45: The second quarter
Until then, anyone knew Aizen's true ability: Metavision! Even Aizen's teammates were unaware of this before. They just thought he had a wide field of vision and strong dynamic vision, which allowed him to make all sorts of incredible predictions on the court. Now, they realized Aizen had a pair of unique eyes.
The players from Teikō also reacted. They had seen some signs in the previous game, noticing that Aizen's ability was somewhat similar to Akashi's Emperor Eye but a bit different. Before they could ponder it further, Aizen answered their doubts.
Aizen looked at Aomine and said, "I can now deduce the 'future' one second ahead. If you only have the speed you have now, it is impossible to break through my defense."
The words revealed Aizen's specific ability to everyone. His ability was indeed similar to Akashi's but distinct in its own way. Both could see the opponent's next move and respond in advance. The difference was that Aizen could directly deduce the subsequent scenes in his mind, encompassing the entire court. In contrast, Akashi's dynamic vision was so strong that he could see through any details of the opponent, including bones and blood, and analyze their next move in real-time.
In summary, Aizen predicts the next scene in one go, while Akashi follows up in real-time.
...
Teikō transitioned to offense, with Aomine advancing the ball, meeting Aizen face-to-face. Despite his earlier shock, Aomine quickly adjusted and became excited upon learning that Aizen's ability had evolved. He sped forward, reaching Aizen.
Aomine didn't say anything, but his bright eyes expressed everything: he was ready for a challenge. His exaggerated playing style, with its outrageous range of motion, made it seem like he was going to fall over, his body almost parallel to the ground. The transition time between fast and slow was so short it was almost negligible. This exaggerated burst of talent was truly enviable.
However, Aomine still couldn't shake off Aizen and was forced to retreat. As he adjusted to attack again, Aizen suddenly pressed forward, his long arm reaching for the basketball in Aomine's hand.
"Snap!!"
Aomine, stunned, watched as Aizen successfully stole the ball. In that fleeting moment, Aomine sensed the danger, but Aizen's timing was impeccable, cutting directly at the vital point. Even Aomine's incredible burst speed couldn't prevent the steal.
Aomine couldn't believe it. No one had ever stolen the ball from him like that. The audience was equally stunned, amazed by Aizen's precise steal in such a fast-paced game.
Aizen didn't dwell on the steal but quickly broke through, dunking in the blink of an eye.
"Bang!!"
Aizen's teammates were very excited, seeing Aomine in a weak position. Aizen was playing better and better, and they eagerly high-fived him. However, Taiga and Shota noticed how much Aizen was sweating, more than they had ever seen him sweat in the second quarter. They felt worried and a bit ashamed, thinking they hadn't helped much. If they could show their offensive skills in this game, Aizen wouldn't have to play alone all the time. They all believed that Aizen's real strength was in team command. Now, his strength was halved.
But the game continued. After that, Aizen and Aomine faced off, with Aizen firmly controlling the rhythm. He took the lead on both offense and defense. As long as the opponent's teammates didn't interfere, Aizen could hit the ball. Although he didn't always make Aomine lose the ball or block his shot, Aomine's hit rate plummeted. When Aomine barely managed a shot, it could only be followed by Murasakibara's tip-in or Midorima's three-pointer. With only Aizen on Jianguang's side, the opponent had more scoring options.
Aizen controlled the ball and advanced, stopping in front of Aomine. Aomine, sweating profusely, looked very tired. "Why, you can't do it now? It seems your recovery training isn't very good," Aizen taunted. Before Aomine could respond, Aizen attacked, using [Metavision] to exploit an opening.
During the breakthrough, Aizen's violent confrontation made Aomine, whose strength was waning, sit on the ground. He could only watch as Aizen shot in front of him.
"Shua!!"
After the ball went in, Aizen knew he had won their duel. He could tell Aomine wouldn't enter the zone. Aomine's physical energy distribution was poor, only slightly better than in their previous single match, but not much. It was due to lack of training.
Moreover, the game between Jianguang and Teikō, while intense, was one-sided. Those who understood basketball knew that Teikō's strength was far superior to Jianguang's. Aomine had no pressure at all, knowing they could widen the score anytime. Without that pressure, there was no need to enter the zone. Besides, Aizen suspected that Aomine couldn't enter this realm at will now.
...
"Beep!!"
The second quarter ended with a score of 56:56.
