Chapter 7 - Tokiwadai vs. Iwatobi (2/2)

Shun dropped the steal strategy as the damage was already done, and fear already took place in their hearts, and he took on Aone's job of blocking.

Shun started to slam layup attempts against the backboards and contested more than half of the three-point attempts made by the whole Iwatobi team, decreasing their already subpar scoring ability to dismal at best.

[A/N: Shun is not going one-man team here as the total number of three-point attempts was already low because of Otsubo getting most of the rebounds and making them hesitate more and more.]

In the last five minutes of the game, Shun asked Ishida to pass all the balls to him. Shun used the Iwatobi team to practice his quick spin followed by a layup, or a hook shot.

Iwatobi team saw that Shun was using the same pattern every time, they in the last effort to protect their dignity started to defend Shun seriously, even going as far as to triple-team him, but no matter what they did Shun kept scoring using the same pattern.

Shun was experimenting with God-speed Impulse. He wanted to see how far his reflexes could go, by using the same pattern every time he increased the chance of him getting blocked, and this was excellent grounds for using God-Speed Impulse.

He wanted to see how late and how fast could he adjust his play with the help of God-Speed impulse.

Shun remembered, how in the anime, during the training camp at the beach, Midorima blocked Kagami ten times in a row because he knew a dunk was coming. He wanted to see the limit of timing for adjusting the shot, so he used the same pattern, and they were not stupid like Kagami and figured what he was doing and when for the blocks.

The result was astonishing. Even though Shun didn't have Kyoshi Teppei's Right of Postponement, Shun with God-Speed Impulse could wait till his very last moment to make a play.

The game ended with Iwatobi failing to stop Shun. The score that was displayed on the scoreboard was stunning to any viewer in the gallery.

Tokiwadai had won the game with the score, 91-42. Leading by an astonishing score of 49 points.

The other teams in the gallery were stunned, they knew that Tokiwadai was the country's number, but seeing it in person was another story.

The team cooled down by doing stretches, and when they finished, a first-year, third-string member came to Shun.

First-year: ”Kageyama-kun, Shoei match is done, they won the game with the score 72-54.”

Shun: ”Thank you, I will treat you to some food later.”

Mibuchi: ”Kageyama-chan, why did you send that first-year to watch that game?”

Shun: ”Shoei is the only school in our block that is any real danger to us, so I sent him to record the game, with coach's permission.”

Mibuchi and others still didn't have the moniker of the Uncrowned Kings as the Generation of Miracles wasn't a thing yet.

Shun: 'I would go home and watch the video and see what is the current level of Kiyoshi and how much has he developed Right of Postponement.'

On the first day of Tokyo preliminaries, out of twenty-four regular entry and four seeded entry of block A, only eight remained.

[A/N: Out of 28 only 8 remains, even I was shocked by the amount of elimination when I first calculated it.]
