Chapter 71 - Meeting, Part 4 (2/2)

Satsuki and Kuroko laughed and smiled as they looked at Aomine's open mouth and Kise's similar dropped jaw.

Kise: ”What is with this person. What is he doing?!”

-*-*-*-*-*-*-

After that, Shun continued to score on, and block Aomine.

Aomine was able to get in one more point when he drew a foul from Shun and made a free-throw.

The game ended with a score of 11-2 in Shun's favor.

After playing for a while, Satsuki suggested that they go to eat some crepes. All of them went to a great crepe place and ate a mid-day snack.

Shun needed to get some groceries, so they separated.

Kuroko saw that Aomine and Kise were silent and asked.

Kuroko: ”Aomine-kun, Kise-kun what happened?”

Kise looked at Kuroko and replied.

Kise: ”The difference between Kageyama-cchi and I was too much. I thought that meeting him would give me a new outlook, but I wasn't able to get one thing out of it.

He was too good for me to understand a thing. It was like he was doing something that I couldn't see.

I saw his moves, not all of them were difficult, but it was like he was doing something more with them that I couldn't register.”

Aomine sighed and spoke.

Aomine: ”I could see that he was holding back. He wasn't moving as fast or as sharply as I thought he could.”

Satsuki looked at the boys and said.

Satsuki: ”It wasn't just about if he was going it his all or not. He was alone.”

The others looked at Satsuki, and Kuroko questioned.

Kuroko: ”What do you mean, he was alone?”

Satsuki explained.

Satsuki: ”Last year, he played as a small forward, but from time to time, he played as a point guard.

Shun-kun has a skill that helps him steal passed in the second half. He would turn those turnover into scores.

This year he is playing as a point guard. Passing is his bread and butter. With his teammates on the court on him, he could use fake passes to fake you out. Think about the plays he could make from the pass steals.

Shun-kun brings out more from his teammates, the same way Shun-kun uses his teammates to bring out more from him.

He may not be at Akashi-kun's level in his passes and playmaking, but he is still in a league of his own.

As long as he stays on the court, Tokiwadai moves to the top runners in the country.

Statistically speaking, in the first half, Tokiwadai is one of the best scoring teams in the country, but when they enter the second half, they transform into a team that is a class apart from the competition.

They literally move beyond the scene, and there is one more thing.”

Kise looked surprised as he asked.

Kise: ”There is still more?!”

Satsuki nodded and continued.

Satsuki: ”Last year, Tokiwadai's team wasn't built around Shun-kun. He joined a team that was already in works, but this year the team will be built around him. The players will train skills that would facilitate, that would help the team at Shun-kun as its core.”

The three players from Teiko were feeling the threat that loomed over them in the form of a Shun's leaded Tokiwadai.

They determined themselves to train harder, so when the storm came, they were ready.

Currently, Tokiwadai was the most dangerous team in the country with Shun on the team, but in a few months, another team would rise to strike a fight for dominance, as others could only watch from down below not able to do anything.
