The two shooting guards faced off once again.
The basketball bounced gently in Jitsuri Reo's hands, as if whispering about the impending storm.
“Midorima-kun, right? When you shoot a three-pointer, you just need to be standing outside the three-point line! It doesn't matter how far away you are, it's still a three-pointer!”
Jitsuri Reo wasn't sure if he was trying to convince Midorima Shintarou or himself.
“The further you extend the range, the more stamina you consume, exponentially! How many shots can you take with that kind of stamina drain? If you don't have enough stamina to play the whole game, what's the point?”
Midorima Shintarou furrowed his brow after hearing this.
This guy was trying to disrupt his mental focus!
“You don't understand anything! When I increase my shooting range, the defense's difficulty increases, giving my teammates more space to operate, and the offensive advantage expands! All it takes is me extending the range a bit to gain so much, a little price to pay is completely acceptable! As you say, you just don't have the perspective!"
Midorima Shintarou didn't stop there.
“Well, I guess it's not your fault! You're just not long enough!”
Jitsuri Reo didn't want to say more, the other guy wasn't a child, he couldn't be swayed by a couple of words.
Just when they fell silent, Genyu Hisho suddenly spoke up.
“Eh? Not long enough? Can Senior Jitsuri Reo elaborate? How long exactly? And Midorima, you're so disrespectful to your senior! How can you go to the bathroom with him? And even if you went together, why would you look at him more than once?!”
Jitsuri Reo's dribbling hand trembled!
He was talking about the shooting distance, you idiot!
Why did it become that length in your mind?!
How can you even respond to that? Do you really want to explain it now?
But…even if you explained it now, what would their definition of "long" be?
Jitsuri Reo angrily glanced at Genyu Hisho, then turned to Midorima Shintarou.
He was asking if he wanted to say anything to explain.
And he saw Midorima Shintarou looking like he was about to burst into laughter.
Midorima Shintarou really couldn't hold it in anymore.
Come on!
Let's hurt each other!
Keep attacking!
We send Genyu Hisho, what will you do?
“Jitsuri! Watch the time!”
Kuga Takuhai, naturally, had heard everything and reminded him after seeing Jitsuri Reo almost lose his cool.
He also silently warned himself.
No matter how it goes, don't say anything.
These young people have no martial ethics!
Jitsuri Reo looked up at the timer and saw that it was in the last few seconds.
“Hmph!”
Jitsuri Reo snorted, stopped dribbling, bent his knees!
Midorima Shintarou had been watching him, and when he saw him shoot, he immediately jumped to block!
Midorima Shintarou felt something wrong after jumping!
According to the other's previous shooting style, they should be parallel at this point, and the distance shouldn't be closing!
But in reality, the distance between them was constantly shrinking, and they finally collided!
Jitsuri Reo's ball hadn't been released when they collided!
But in the next moment, Jitsuri Reo released the ball in his hand!
The ball was released just as the whistle blew!
“White team number 7! Defensive foul! One free throw!”
At the same time, the flying ball also went into the net!
Jitsuri Reo, who had been prepared beforehand, took a step back after landing.
But Midorima Shintarou wasn't prepared, he took two steps back after landing, but still couldn't stop, lost his balance and sat down on the ground!
But he didn't care about that, he just looked at the ball.
He frowned when he saw the ball go in.
Genyu Hisho was closest to Midorima Shintarou, he ran over to him and extended his hand when he saw him fall.
Midorima Shintarou saw a hand suddenly appear in front of him, then looked up at Genyu Hisho.
This seems to be the first time someone has taken care of him like this!
Midorima Shintarou raised his hand and grasped Genyu Hisho's hand, then was pulled up.
He also thought about Genyu Hisho's previous reminder.
He didn't expect to be tricked so soon!
Genyu Hisho also didn't expect that Jitsuri Reo had already developed this four-point play.
As expected of the five uncrowed players, only second to the miracles!
“Pay attention to the depth of his crouch!”
Genyu Hisho only mentioned it once and didn't say more, he knew that with Midorima Shintarou's intelligence, he wouldn't need to say much.
On the sidelines, Kuroko Tetsuya couldn't help but stand up.
“That's going too far! He's clearly doing it on purpose!”
Hyuga Junpei pulled him back to prevent him from rushing over to argue.
“Everyone knows he's doing it on purpose, but it's within the rules, creating fouls is a common tactic! Like the former Great Shark, to limit him, it was clear from the beginning!”
Kuroko Tetsuya reluctantly sat back down.
Can't basketball be pure?!
Does winning mean you can do anything?!
Momoe Satsuki, who was sitting next to him, was writing something in her notebook, her head kept looking at Jitsuri Reo.
“Just a few more times!”
Kuroko Tetsuya looked at her in confusion.
Is this girl out of her mind?
The other guy is fouling like that, and she still wants more?
