Chapter 132 Revealing Strength
On the field, Aomine saw Shiraishi scoring a goal without any expression. He didn't even look at Wakamatsu, the source of his loss, as if he didn't care.
But Wakamatsu felt a little guilty, after all, it was because of himself that the team lost points.
Imayoshi noticed something was wrong with Wakamatsu's mood, so he came over and comforted Wakamatsu: "It's okay, it's just a goal. Don't worry about it. Didn't you show nothing even if you didn't see Aomine?"
"But you should understand after this goal, right?"
"The qualitative gap between us and them is such that we are not even qualified to intervene in their battle."
"In this case, we can just be a tool. We don't need to do unnecessary things. We can only use our strength when our performance is needed."
"Although it's a bit hurtful to say this, there's nothing you can do about it. Some people are born to be protagonists, and it's already great that we can be supporting actors."
Hearing Imayoshi's words, Wakamatsu opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he couldn't utter a rebuttal.
Kiroh soon reorganized his attack, and Imayoshi started his 'supporting journey' as before, after serving to Aomine.
Neither Aomine nor Shiraishi paid attention to what happened on Wakamatsu's side. After receiving the ball, Aomine directly launched an attack.
Soon the situation returned to what it was before, and the two began to show off various skills again, making people dizzy, fearing that they would miss a good shot in the blink of an eye.
However, as both sides warmed up and played more and more smoothly, the score no longer kept jumping like before.
Although it is still difficult for the two to score from each other, they still make progress occasionally.
In this way, the first quarter of the game ended in a high-intensity duel between the two. The score of the two teams reached 8:6, with Zhengbang temporarily leading by one goal.

May looked at Shiraishi, who was wiping his sweat with a towel after replenishing water after the end of the game, and said with some concern: "Shiraishi, is there no problem if you keep playing like this?"
Shiraishi saw May's eyes and smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, there will be no problem. This is just the beginning."
"Besides, I haven't had such a good fight in a long time. I believe Qingfeng has the same idea."
After seeing Shiraishi say this, Alex took over the conversation.
"Honestly, although I had thought that the real outcome of this game would depend on the duel between the two of you, I didn't expect that the two of you would fight so fiercely."
"But in this case, it's not easy to stop you at this time. Go ahead as much as you like. It's just a pity that the other party's physical strength has not been fully restored."
Shiraishi nodded after hearing this. As for the physical advantage, the result of the game will not affect promotion, so it is not important.
On the other side, Aomine looked at Sakurai's question and replied with a grin: "Don't get in the way, the warm-up has just ended."
Coach Harazawa also knew that if he forced Aomine to calm down now, it would be counterproductive to the game, so he said to Aomine:
"You can play freely for one more quarter, and the first half will be left to you. But you need to take a rest in the third quarter, and then settle it with the opponent in the last quarter."
After saying this, he was afraid that Qingfeng's brain would twitch and he wanted to insist on dueling with Shiraishi, so he added: "I believe the opponent's coach also arranged it this way."
Qingfeng nodded after hearing this. It was good to be able to handle three quarters in a game by himself. After all, other teammates also needed to have some sense of participation.
Moreover, if you keep starting the 'zone' duel like this, you may not be able to play the entire game. It is better to play one less time to save energy and use it to explode at critical moments.
Soon the break ended and the players from both teams took the field again.
After Shiraishi received Nijimura's serve, he dribbled to Aomine.
Upon seeing this, Qingfeng said to Shiraishi: "The warm-up time is over, let's show some real skills."
Baishi smiled after hearing this and said to Qingfeng: "As you wish!"
Shiraishi's dribbling rhythm suddenly changed. Seeing this, Aomine slightly bent his legs and opened his hands, getting ready for defense.
Suddenly Shiraishi dribbled the ball in front of him, holding the ball with both hands and preparing to shoot. Although Aomine was surprised when he saw this, he quickly approached and jumped up to block the shot.
However, Shiraishi just used the floating time of the ball to pretend to shoot. Seeing Aomine jump up and break through the opponent quickly, he rushed forward and then stood outside the three-point line and jumped up to shoot the ball.
Seeing Shiraishi using the technique of worshiping Buddha, Aomine was a little surprised. Even he was fooled by this shot.
Shiraishi was also very satisfied. It was true that he had been hiding his clumsiness, and it still worked.
This was something he had learned before in the United States. He had never used it in battles with other people since returning to Japan. Now that he had deceived Aomine for the first time, it was quite good.
Qingfeng was only slightly surprised and then relieved. After all, Shiraishi went to study abroad to practice his skills, and it was inevitable to learn some skills.
Then Aomine also started his counterattack. After receiving Imayoshi's serve, Aomine started dribbling with his signature wide dribbling movement.
Suddenly he accelerated forward and rushed forward. Shiraishi followed closely, not giving him a chance to get away from him.
However, Aomine suddenly changed hands and stopped dribbling. He grabbed the ball with his left hand and turned his palm upward. Then he stretched his hand back and shook his wrist hard. The ball flew high from behind Aomine and then fell in an extremely high parabola. into the basket.
Shiraishi saw that Aomine could now shoot such difficult shots even with his hands that he didn't use often before, and he understood that the opponent had also been hiding his clumsiness before.
And it was hidden even deeper. Even Wuyue, who claimed to know Qingfeng very well, never thought that Qingfeng would secretly practice his left-handed attack to this extent.
You must know that even in such a thrilling battle with Midorima yesterday, the opponent still chose to hide his clumsiness.
I don’t know whether it was because he had absolute confidence that he could win Midorima or because he wanted to leave this surprise to Shiraishi and didn’t care about it even if he lost before.
After all, the difficulty of this shot is not much different from Midorima's three-point shot.
Although Midorima's shooting range is very wide, Aomine can shoot with one hand without taking time to aim.
Midorima, who was in the audience, gritted his teeth when he saw Aomine's goal.
This bastard looks down on people so much, hiding his clumsiness under such circumstances.
Of course, Midorima knew that the other party's temperament would not be to leave surprises to Shiraishi, and it would not matter even if he lost the game.
But he has absolute confidence in himself, confident that he can win even in that case.
Midorima became furious when he thought of this, and secretly made up his mind that the amount of training in the future must be increased, and he must recover this debt from the opponent in the Winter Cup.
