white king of black basket

In the first quarter, due to Reiyang’s fiery form and excellent performance, Sogo did not need to have any outstanding performance, and he only scored 5 points with the help of two mid-range shots and one free throw on the inside, which is undoubtedly more.

But… Was that what he expected?

Of course not!

You know, the two tasks he is currently on are related to the performance of this game, so it is impossible for him not to do without the ball in this game.

However, he still endured and did not make a move.

The reason for this is roughly the following two.

First of all, Ling Yang’s own firepower on the offensive end is certainly one reason – Sogo knows very well that Ling Yang has definitely not really played his full strength in the matches so far, and he is just ‘playing casually’.

It is precisely because of his presence that Sogo is able to paddle during this kind of game to observe the timing without worrying about the team falling behind – because he knows that if the opponent can’t come up with an effective way to deal with Reiyang’s attack, then even if he doesn’t score a single goal in the whole game, the team can win.

The second reason is because the opponent’s center who played very well in this game had a slight impact on Sogo.

Although his data and abilities have now tended to a relatively high level in all aspects, there is no doubt that the use of the purple breakthrough skill [Passing Flower Butterfly Step] is still the most critical scoring method for Sogo now, and it is also something that he must use to complete the task.

And here I have to say that in the information that Sogo knows, the player named ‘Iverson’ is indeed called ‘a player that no one can completely prevent’ in that world, and even the strongest player and coach in the world can hardly completely defend him in any way except to limit his ability to the ball.

But… Sogo is not him!

Because according to the description of the system, in addition to the [Flower Butterfly Step], that player’s body also has two purple skills, the physical skill [Lightning Body] and the stealing skill [Picking Stars with Only Hand], and there seem to be some other abilities on his body, so he can achieve the kind of breakthrough that no one can prevent.

And what about Sogo?

Although his breakthrough is strong, and his offensive ability in other aspects has reached a very high level, but…

His physical strength has not been strengthened enough to allow him to burst out at full strength all the time!

Therefore, once the opponent consciously stares at the basket really desperately, even if he can break through to the box, he will not be able to score comfortably, but will let the opponent’s attention focus on him, consume his physical strength and cause possible mission failure.

And to avoid this, the best option is of course to let Ling Yang attract fire for him before he actually starts attacking.

And….

After spending 150 system points on the ‘enemy team detection’ before the match, Sogo saw a message about the other side!

[Shunpei Hinata, shooting guard, skill: Mr. Key (blue)].

[Izuki Jun, point guard, skill: Eagle Eye (blue)].

Although it is only such a simple two lines, and there is no specific introduction to skill levels or any other data, for Sogo, the existence of these two people is a great hidden danger to complete the task of this competition.

This is the first time he has seen an enemy with his own skills!

By the way, I would like to mention here – Sogo is sure that Reiyang and Mitsui have their own skills, but since the number of system points required to detect Reiyang is as high as 1000 points, and the number of points required to detect Mitsui is as high as 290 points, Sogo who is still roughly a ‘poor bastard’ now does not have the extra points to investigate his teammates.

‘No matter what skill he is, the stronger his teammates are, the better’

And after Mr. Sogo thought about it like this, he also put this matter aside very heartlessly….

Okay, let’s get back to business.

To sum up, before thoroughly confirming the skills of these two people, Sogo chose to forbear for the time being.

And now… He can finally show his fangs unscrupulously!

“You can easily pass the ball without looking behind you, and from the quality of that pass and the control of the gap, the so-called ‘vulture eye’ is extremely strong in observing the overall situation and a vast field of view!”

“And Mr. Key… When you hear it, you know it’s a skill related to offense, right? ”

Ling Yang was limited by the three-two defense, and his ability on the offensive end was greatly reduced, while the opponent’s inner line also exposed obvious gaps, and the skills of both enemies also had a general guess…

No more unknown, so no more scary!

Therefore, it is time for him to be powerful!

After easily passing a defensive player again under the ghost-like gaze of his opponent, a handsome back-to-back pitch easily sent the ball into the basket, Sogo retreated but frowned slightly.

If the goal is 20 points in a single quarter, now it is 4 points!

And the time of this section… 7 minutes to go!

“Amatsu, senior Miyagi, senior Sasaki, next… Please give me all the balls! ”
