Chapter 35: Aura

Time flies, and the day of the game has come in the blink of an eye.

Today's atmosphere is the most enthusiastic that Jianguang has ever seen. The audience ,cheering, and reporters filled the entire stands. They are looking forward to the next game, which they think is the best in this qualifying round. After all, they really can't think of any other team that can compare with these two.

Strictly speaking, they are not looking forward to the Jianguang team but are curious whether Aizen can still play with the same strength as before in the matchup with Miracle Era. Most of them have been following Aizen's journey since he came out of nowhere. They also know something about his experience, and everyone is very curious about what kind of changes can make an ordinary player have such a big transformation.

Carrying the team on his shoulders with his own strength is simply a model of personal heroism. Under the exaggeration of reporters and media, Aizen's image has become more popular. So at this moment, when Aizen led his teammates out of the passage, the sidelines erupted with exclamations loud enough to overturn the ceiling.

"Come out!"

"Look, Jianguang and his team have appeared."

"Aizen, that's Aizen." 

Reporters snapped photos, fans exclaimed, and many scouts were staring at Aizen with shining eyes. The scene at this time made Aizen's teammates a little nervous. They thought they were used to this kind of atmosphere during this period. But at this moment, they realized that they were overthinking. The audience's state today is obviously different from the past.

In this warm atmosphere, Teikō and his team also appeared. Seeing this, another wave of noise erupted from the scene!

...

...

The game started, and the referee took the ball to midfield, signaling both teams to jump forward. Shota walked forward, and when he saw Atsushi Murasakibara in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pressure. The opponent was taller than him, and although his eyes were narrowed and he looked like he hadn't woken up, the pressure was strong.

Before he could think about it, the referee threw the ball high up. Shota jumped up with all his strength, but the next second,

"Snap!"

The basketball was casually hit by Atsushi Murasakibara to his teammate. After Murasakibara won the fight for the ball, he still looked sleepy and murmured, "Well, it's so boring."

The basketball headed in the direction of Akashi Seijuro, and he took the ball steadily. Just when everyone thought he was going to play steadily and control the ball across half court, Akashi threw the ball directly. The basketball almost crossed half of the court, drawing a yellow line in the air, and the target was Aomine Daiki, who had already rushed out!

Aomine was ready to attack as soon as Murasakibara jumped for the ball. When Akashi got the ball, Aomine waved to signal him to pass. In the expectant eyes of the audience, the basketball appeared steadily in Aomine's hands, with no defender in front of him. He broke into the penalty area in almost two steps. Aomine Daiki took off directly into the air, about to complete a slam dunk.

But the next second, he felt a strong sense of oppression coming from behind him. That's right! It was Aizen! At this time, Aizen also flew high. His height of 196 and his wingspan of 211 covered Aomine's entire body in his defense. He was about to eat Aomine alive. Aomine didn't expect Aizen to catch up so quickly, but he didn't panic and was even very excited.

"I will make this shot!"

After reading Aizen's defensive posture, he actually changed his original shooting posture in the air. This ability is Aomine's skill [Formless Shot]. When Aomine's posture fell into the eyes of Teikō, they didn't feel any fluctuations in their hearts. They were too familiar with each other. Aomine's action meant that the other party would definitely not be able to defend.

But none of them expected that Aizen, who had lost his defensive position under Aomine's [Formless Shot], would be defeated. Unexpectedly, a force appeared out of thin air, allowing him to make a second move. And the long arm appeared precisely at the position where Aomine shot.

"Snap!" Block!

Aizen delivered a loud block at the beginning of the game! For a moment, the Teikō team was shocked. They did not expect this result at all. Akashi raised his eyebrows when he saw this. After all, he passed the ball and did not expect it to be defended. The appearance of Aizen affected his judgment. He did not expect Aizen to complete the defense so quickly.

In fact, Aizen had already activated [Goal Scent] at the beginning of the game. He keenly predicted Akashi's movements and Aomine's position, completing the previous single-handed match against Aomine in the air. Aizen activated [Confrontation Core] and [Metavision] to directly see through Aomine's movements, thus blocking the shot!

The process seemed to be seen through by Aizen. It was smooth, but this picture was extremely exaggerated in the eyes of the audience. At this moment, they couldn't control their emotions and exclaimed.

"fk, fk!"

"Is it so outrageous? This is too fast!"

"Yeah, they played so passionately at the beginning." 

Aizen, who got the ball, dribbled with his right hand and protected the ball with his left to prevent Aomine from stealing it. While moving forward, he looked at Aomine and teased, "You forgot how you lost in the singles so quickly? You really don't care at all!"

Aomine was a little ashamed to hear this. He was indeed careless. When he saw Aizen, he was so excited that he forgot Aizen's defensive style.

...

...

The two passed the midfield together. Aizen was at the top of the arc of the three-point line, about to observe and make a breakthrough when he heard Teikō's movement. Kise shouted loudly from the wing: "Hey, Aomine, didn't you let me play against him first?"

Aomine was looking at Aizen expectantly and focused when he heard Kise say this. He was also stunned for a moment, then glanced at the corner of his mouth. He said impatiently, "Defend your man well, you come for the next ball."
