Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium.
Basketball hall.
brush……
The crisp and pleasant sound of the net was heard in the Dream Team's half. The sound was particularly clear in the slightly noisy venue at the moment, but it seemed to carry an invisible pressure, hitting the hearts of everyone on the Dream Team heavily.
In front of the Dream Team's free throw line, Nick stood there with a smug smile on his face, holding the basketball in his hands, squatting slightly, then jumping up lightly and throwing the basketball towards the basket.
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell into the net accurately.
Dream Team 119 to 129 Jabberwock.
As Nick made the free throw, the numbers on the scoreboard changed again.
Jabberwock successfully completed a 3+1.
The faces of the members of the Dream Team all became more serious, and there was more solemnity in their eyes.
The difference between the two sides returned to 10 points.
In this fiercely competitive basketball game, it is conceivable how difficult it is to make up for such a big gap in the remaining time.
The situation is very bad for the Dream Team.
beep……
At this moment, the sharp whistle was like a blade that cut through the tense atmosphere, instantly breaking the suffocating silence on the court, and also interrupting the thoughts of the Dream Team members who were thinking about how to deal with the next game.
"The Dream Team requests a timeout."
A serious and loud voice spread throughout the basketball arena through the loudspeaker, announcing that the game had temporarily entered a pause phase.
The sudden pause stunned everyone on the Dream Team.
This sudden pause was like a high-speed train suddenly braking, which made them unable to recover for a moment, and expressions of confusion and surprise appeared on their faces.
Yin Yue was not surprised by this. He frowned slightly, with a thoughtful look in his deep eyes, thinking about the current situation in his heart.
The current situation is indeed too weird.
I have opened up the [Selfless State] to the limit of perfection.
In this state, he should have been able to control the situation and respond almost perfectly both in offense and defense.
But now, the score is still being widened by the opponent, and even the balance can’t be maintained. This is a bit too strange.
…
Dream Team rest area.
The people who had walked off the field had already sat on the benches. Each of them was either breathing heavily or wiping the beads of sweat that kept appearing on their foreheads. The exhaustion after the intense confrontation on the field was clearly written on everyone's face.
At this moment, everyone felt a little heavy-hearted. After all, the score was gradually widening, making the already challenging game even more difficult.
Katsutora Aida walked in front of everyone. He had a serious look on his face, and his furrowed brows seemed able to pinch a fly to death. His eyes slowly swept across the faces of each team member, and then he spoke with a serious face.
"You all played well, there was no problem, but this was also the biggest problem."
His voice was steady and powerful, but it made everyone stunned. At first glance, these words seemed a bit contradictory. How could fighting well become the biggest problem?
Everyone frowned slightly, their eyes full of confusion, but no one interrupted at this moment. They just listened quietly, waiting for Aida Katsuyori to continue speaking, trying to understand the deeper meaning of his words from his next words.
Hearing his words, Yin Yue just listened quietly without interrupting.
He knew in his heart that the situation at the moment was indeed indescribably strange. They naturally discovered that something was wrong. They had vaguely sensed it when they were on the court, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while.
There seemed to be no major mistakes in every round, and everyone tried their best, but the score was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, running continuously in a direction that was unfavorable to them. This was really puzzling.
Aida Katsutora spoke again.
"You should have noticed! Our score is gradually being pulled away by the opponent. If this continues, we will lose before the end of the game. This is why I chose to call a timeout."
There was a hint of solemnity in his tone, and his eyes revealed his worry about the current situation. As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at the electronic scoreboard hanging on the ceiling of the stadium. The numbers on the scoreboard seemed particularly glaring at this moment, as if silently announcing their disadvantage.
Qingfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead with a hint of irritation, then looked up at the score on the electronic scoreboard, and then frowned.
His eyes were full of confusion, and he kept thinking in his mind that he felt he played well when he was on the court.
When it was time to attack, they tried their best to score. When defending, they didn't give the opponent too many easy scoring opportunities, and they fought back and forth with the opponent.
Our team scored no fewer goals than the other team, so logically speaking, the score shouldn't be so far apart.
But the reality was clearly before his eyes, and he really couldn't understand the reason. His heart was full of doubts, and his frown never relaxed.
Not only him, Midorima and Murasakibara were also confused.
Midorima sat there with a thoughtful look in his eyes, his mind constantly recalling every detail that had just happened on the court, trying to find the key factor that led to the score being behind, but after thinking about it, he still had no clue.
Zi Yuanze looked depressed. His originally childish face was now full of annoyance. He was still upset about the fact that Jason Thibo broke through his defense and he failed to successfully stop the opponent from scoring.
