Chapter 37: Kise

Kise took the ball smoothly, his eyes shining with determination.

He felt he had been waiting for this day for a long time. After being defeated by Aizen, Kise had been training relentlessly. He thought that when he met Aizen again, he must succeed in his revenge. The hard training during this period had not been in vain. Kise felt he had made great progress. He was sure that if he returned to the training match with his current strength, then Aizen would definitely lose.

Under the expectant eyes of the audience, Kise controlled the ball and advanced. Aizen had already returned to his own half and stood in a defensive position. His concentration was at its peak, ready for Aomine's fierce attack. To his surprise, it was Kise who was attacking this time. Aizen was stunned for a moment but quickly understood. Kise was still obsessed with the defeat in their last training match and wanted to challenge him again.

Their casual attitude also confirmed Jianguang's analysis of them: they fought individually without any tactical arrangements. This situation was very beneficial to Aizen; he just needed to limit the threat of the ball handler. Kise crossed the half-court with the ball. His earlier smile and bright eyes were gone, replaced by a very serious and earnest look. Kise walked toward Aizen step by step, getting closer. Aizen could feel the momentum emanating from him. From the perspective of momentum alone, Kise had indeed improved significantly.

Kise dribbled the ball sideways to prevent Aizen from stealing it. While looking at Aizen, he said seriously, "I have been looking forward to this day for a long time. You can't beat me this time."

Aizen found it a bit amusing. He could see that Kise had made significant progress, but while Kise was improving, others were not standing still.

Aizen chuckled and said, "Really? Then let me see. Don't let me slap you in the face again."

Aizen deliberately showed a contemptuous attitude, which Kise immediately sensed. He felt looked down upon and suppressed the irritation that arose in his heart. He was ready to attack, adjusting his body from a sideways stance to a posture facing Aizen. Aizen felt a sense of oppression and knew Kise was about to start.

The next second, in the expectant eyes of the audience, Kise began to perform an extremely aggressive dribbling technique. His rhythm, speed, and amplitude were perfect, drawing exclamations from the audience. They felt it was too beautiful, like a painting. Aizen had to admit that Kise had indeed transformed compared to two months ago. He saw shades of many players in Kise's movements, including Teikō's and even his own.

Kise's offense became more and more fierce, constantly trying to break through Aizen. However, Aizen was not a pushover, and his defense was very successful. Kise was unable to find a good attacking point for a while. But this was normal; with just physical talent, Aizen could beat Kise at this time. His height and arm span completely outmatched Kise, allowing Aizen to cover a larger defensive range. They were at a stalemate.

During this period, Aizen tried to use his long arms to interfere and steal the ball from Kise, but every time Kise reacted in time. Aizen didn't want to continue this stalemate. He had already figured out some of Kise's habits and was ready to end this round quickly. Aizen turned on [Metavision] and performed a deduction. The scene after 0.5 seconds appeared in his mind, and Aizen saw through Kise's next move. In his deduction, Kise would make a fake move of dribbling under his left leg. Aizen was ready to counter Kise.

As expected, Kise performed a crotch dribble according to the deduction. Seeing this, Aizen pretended to be deceived and defended to Kise's left side. However, he still had enough strength in reserve to defend in the next moment. The way Aizen was shaken was instantly reflected in Kise's eyes, surprising him greatly and making him smile. Finally, he found a flaw. Kise pulled back the ball with his left hand and broke through to the right without hesitation.

When Kise felt he had passed Aizen, he was excited to break into the restricted area and complete a dunk. Suddenly, he felt a very dangerous sensation from the side. At this moment, Kise felt as if he were being stared at by a beast. That's right, Aizen was still covering him. The opponent never lost track of his defense. Aizen directly stretched out his arm, aiming at the basketball in Kise's hand. Under Aizen's deliberate calculation, Kise panicked. He knew that if he didn't make a change, he would be intercepted immediately. In a hurry, Kise jumped up and shot without hesitation.

However, Aizen followed closely and completed the jump almost simultaneously with Kise. At this moment, Kise only felt that Aizen was shrouding his vision. He couldn't see the basket at all. "Bang!!" Aizen blocked the shot.

Aizen sent a loud rejection to Kise. This scene, happening so quickly, made the audience boil with excitement. They felt that their throats would be ruined after watching this game.

"Fk! Fk!"

"Suddenly I realized that Aizen's strength is no less than that of the Miracle Era."

"Isn't that obvious?"

Aizen was not affected by the atmosphere. He calmly grabbed the ball and prepared for a fast break. Through [Metavision], he noticed that Shota had already run to the other side. Without hesitation, Aizen grabbed the basketball with one hand and threw it directly to Shota.
