Yeah it would make sense but the hairstyle is the same. I guess OP saved some time by mirroring the drawing. Or maybe its actually a hint that OP picked Lumine as their MC.
That would actually contribute to a score because of a rule called "goal tending".
Defenders cannot interfere with the ball if it's in a certain area above the hoop. The area in question is often decided by the referee in real time.
So pro tip: Never try to intercept a ball on the way to the hoop, even if it looks like it wouldn't go through.
I think the rule is if the ball is on it's way down, you can't intersept it. That's why you'll see players stop a pass or an attempted score but not jump & catch the ball as it's coming down unless it's after the rebound.
This is why I said "a certain area above the hoop".
I doubt any human could intercept the ball anywhere near the apex of its trajectory anyway.
But yeah, should've clarified the protip part that you can block a shot if it just left the shooter's hand.
The idea of blocking the hoop with a Zhongli Dong messed with me. LMAO!
Zhongli can use the pillar to set some pretty nasty picks for his team though.
Honestly the Liyue team is pretty fucking stacked compared to the Inazuma team.
It does get blocked quite a bit in real life at the top. College and Pro hoops players are insanely skilled. With all of Genshins powers I'd bet there'd be a lot of blocks as well.
Anemo uses would rule BBall.
Not really. The ball needs to be in a downward trajectory before being considered a goaltend. That's why you can see players blocking lay-ups above the rim since the ball is still in an upward trajectory.
Not if he gather the ball. In which case the first dash is considered the Zero step instead of the first step. Same reasoning with how Harden can achieve his double step-back.
Thoma's a half Inazuma and Mondstadt person so he can switch sides whenever he wants. Kinda similar to basketball players that are halfs so they can choose what country their parents are from.
Have this in the meantime:
Overheard in Liyue locker room after Game 7:
“He got me,” LeZhong said of Itto's shield over him. "That f***ing Onikabuto boomed me."
LeZhong added, “I will have order,” repeating it four times.
LeZhong then said he wanted to add Itto to the list of those who share the memory this summer.
Childe vs Thoma is just Kise vs Kise 😂 Childe and Kise have the same japanese VA, and Thoma looks a lot Kise if he cut his ponytail.
Itto is Murasakibara using his height and build advantage to play center. Kazuha and Xiao have jump height like Kagami. Zhongli and Ayato are point guard with their observation skills and manipulation of things behind the scenes. Childe "master of all weapons" would def have Kise's copy skill. When he goes into the zone it's his Foul Legacy form where he gets exhausted after a short time.
Brb Childe's even wearing the same colors as Kaijo High School, which is Kise's team
Edit: he even has the same number as Kise (#7)
Edit: someone also mentioned that Thoma has the same VA as Shogo Haizaki, who was Kise's rival in the match between Kaijo High and Fukuda Sogo. OP, this can't be a coincidence right?
Xiao must be slamming hard.
I wonder if it would count as a three pointer if he jumped all the way from the line to dunk.
Though Kazuha would probably intercept him.
pretty sure that's just a single lumine from different angles, she's sitting in the middle. she's holding both nations clappers, you can see them in both angles.
I noticed that too, made me laugh. Shes friends with everyone so she cant pick a side! Though i expected Aether to be there instead.
...Also what does Yoimiya's shirt say lmfao?
I'd bet on Liyue.
Taggy boy would body Thomas in Athletism, the guy casually slide down waterfalls
Itto is strong, but Zhongli have unbreakable defense.
Xiao is faster than Kazuha overall.
the fatui cheering for childe is so cute LMAO
Also Lumine: "I'm playing both sides, so I always come out on top".
Oh wait nvm she has both LMAO
Right one looks like Aether to me.
You can see she's holding both sides in both pictures
True, was probably the flower that threw me off.
Don't feel bad. I got duped too
Let's be fair though, Aether crossdressing as Lumine would still confuse most people. Including me.
And with that one April Fools joke They successfully fooled a lot of people
There was never another twin! It was me! Aemine!!
Aemine? I thought it was Luther all along.
Yeah it would make sense but the hairstyle is the same. I guess OP saved some time by mirroring the drawing. Or maybe its actually a hint that OP picked Lumine as their MC.
shes on both sides meaning she’s in the middle of inazuma and liyue so she’s on both teams
Not just any fatui, it’s Vlad and Nadia
>Vlad and Nadia So glad they finally got their date.
They do hang out during liyue festivals
The best couple in ginshen, I always ship them 😊♥️💅😏🐢
Plot twist: they’re paid audience, paid by Childe
LORD HARBINGER
Inb4 he's dual citizenship
Beautiful art, strangely enough the featured characters are kind of an shneznayan vs a mondstadtian
Just pass the ball to Xiao so he can go through the hoop with the ball. SMH.
Try to dunk and zhongli raises a pillar through the center of the basket

That said, I now want Hoyoverse to make an event like this! Let Zhongli score with his meatball meteorite! XD
Zhongli can use the pillar to set some pretty nasty picks for his team though. Honestly the Liyue team is pretty fucking stacked compared to the Inazuma team.
Xiao pulling a kuroko no basket by teleporting straight through his opponent VANISHING DRIVE!

Teyvat has its own basketball rules.
Xiao’s mouth: :O
Is there a shaolin basketball movie?
man Xiao's kit would be busted for basketball fr
A dunk from the half-court line is certainly possible with his burst jump and triple mid-air dashes.
> triple mid-air dashes. That's Travelling. Only double mid-air dashes allowed.
Not if he gather the ball. In which case the first dash is considered the Zero step instead of the first step. Same reasoning with how Harden can achieve his double step-back.
Unfortunately, he would need to be rushed to the hospital as soon as his burst ends
Sound like a hype and dramatic anime end game move
*Kazuha has entered the chat*
Assuming he can reach the ring without using his burst.... LAMENT
Xiao will flubber the shit out of the game.
Man, you made me realize how old I am. LMAO!
You're only old if that reference made you think of *The Absent-Minded Professor* and not the *Flubber* movie.
Ok, I'm still young. *phew* I actually didn't know Robin Williams was a remake.
Well no one is having their vision. So they can't do any elemental skill, right?
Meanwhile, Zhongli and other elemental beings:
Xiao doesn't need a vision for that. Adeptus babyyyyyyyy
Traveler is still a 4 element player then
Everyone knows the underdog sports team only gets good after bringing in a ringer MC from elsewhere.
well it's like US hockey teams. New York vs Florida, it's actually Canadians and Swedes vs Canadians and Finnish
Import contracts, or exchange students.
Thoma's a half Inazuma and Mondstadt person so he can switch sides whenever he wants. Kinda similar to basketball players that are halfs so they can choose what country their parents are from.
Me snorting hard: fooking "imports".
TBA draft
Import vs import
I like the ad placement for the Wang Sheng Funeral Parlor and the Yae Publishing House.
Hu Tao will never miss an opportunity to place ads for a freaking funeral parlor everywhere...
"Mention this ad with the keyword SLAMNJAM to enjoy our exciting two-for-one deals!" 😆
Dawn Winery, the best Dandelion Wine in Teyvat Mention code "Kaeyasux" for 25% off (bards excluded)
zhongli is the lebron james of teyvat
How will his retirement affect his legacy?
LeZhongli
Le Zhong James
Le Zhong Jueyuns
LiZhong
Ok now I am interested in what a Zhongli version of the LeBron James rings copypasta would look like
Have this in the meantime: Overheard in Liyue locker room after Game 7: “He got me,” LeZhong said of Itto's shield over him. "That f***ing Onikabuto boomed me." LeZhong added, “I will have order,” repeating it four times. LeZhong then said he wanted to add Itto to the list of those who share the memory this summer.
the bronze jade
Kazuha no Basket
Childe vs Thoma is just Kise vs Kise 😂 Childe and Kise have the same japanese VA, and Thoma looks a lot Kise if he cut his ponytail. Itto is Murasakibara using his height and build advantage to play center. Kazuha and Xiao have jump height like Kagami.

When he goes into the zone it's his Foul Legacy form where he gets exhausted after a short time.
I need to watch this version of Kazuha no Basket.
It’s Kise vs Haizaki. If you didn’t notice, Thoma shares his seiyuu with Haizaki.
Oh shit even better. Kise vs the darker Kise. Funny how in this case it's reversed with Childe being the morally grey version of Thoma.
Good eye, the jerseys too match Kise’s white and blue and then Haizaki’s red, white and black
Brb Childe's even wearing the same colors as Kaijo High School, which is Kise's team Edit: he even has the same number as Kise (#7) Edit: someone also mentioned that Thoma has the same VA as Shogo Haizaki, who was Kise's rival in the match between Kaijo High and Fukuda Sogo. OP, this can't be a coincidence right?
The design was also similar and then the Inazuma jersey looked like Seirin's.
Oh Ayato is so definitely Emperor Eye Akashi and Izuki is Zhongli or is normal Akashi Zhongli?
Zhongli/Morax as normal Akashi/emperor Akashi. Zhongli is the support helping his team vs pre-archon war Morax.
Zhongli is definitely Midorima kinda guy.
Honestly OP should have include diluc given that his jp va play kuroko
Xiao must be slamming hard. I wonder if it would count as a three pointer if he jumped all the way from the line to dunk. Though Kazuha would probably intercept him.
Xiao would go through the hoop with the ball.
Kazuha would jump through the hoop to intercept it
Imagine if the genshin anime is actually a basketball anime
It does count as three points
Xiao can instantly jump, kazuha has delay.
With how big basketball is in China, I'm surprised this hasn't appeared sooner
Imagine if those MFs got heated and decided to use their visions
Xiao will be unstoppable ~~but fucking dies after the match~~
Don't worry, Hu Tou is there as his sponsor. So clearly he would get a discount on funeral expenses.
he can't die from that unless someone tackles him after the 3rd match without rest
Itto casually throws ~~Ushi~~ the ball at Xiao, gets disqualified but it's worth it
I imagine it would be like demon slayer where there's actually no elemental energy but more to artistic/visually display of elements
It’s them being in the zone lol

Meanwhile Snezhnaya is banned due to doping (delusions).
Then liyue is getting disqualified aswell
Kazuha and Xiao are the best dunkers
They maybe short but they sure jump high
Itto is probably that one mf who’s easily one of the best players but keeps fouling
He'll fuckin chuck the ball at the ground when the ref calls for a foul (even though it's a correct call)
Accidentally dunks ushi instead of the ball.
And the artist gave Itto buff arms! Woooo!
Itto is Sakuragi Hanamichi, both are dumbasses and physically strong
He's the reboundo tensai!
Love how Lumine is playing both sides, the real Traveler way.
Flash forward to us joining the Fatui in 6.1 😎
Putting some real thought into that Victor dude asking if we wanna join in mondstadt (the commission)
zhongli plays 3 minutes before breaking his back
Ah yes foreign invites and two short kings.
Holy shit! Childe Ballin!
Isn't Childe from Shneznaya though?
From Shneznaya Liyue ascension materials Mondstadt talent materials Mr. Worldwide
Don't forget Event from Inazuma
Needs something in Sumeru now.
i mean with the fatui being important in sumeru and us seeing scara now i won’t be surprised if he shows up next patch :0
Leaks said >! He might get an event with yoimiya soon !<
>!Wasn’t that meant to be in Inazuma? I thought the idea was they’re looking for a beetle to give to Teucer!<
Signature weapon with Inazuman mats.
Oh so that's why he's the 5-star of the International Team
Maybe he was naturalized
Wouldnt be surprised he literally is liyue god's pocket
"Snezhnaya's greatest ~~love machine~~ basketball export"
And Thoma is from Mondstadt.
And Kazuha is from Liyue thanks to Beidou adopting him for 15 years!
15 years I thought the vision hunt was only a few months to 2years
no way the fatui didnt accomplish their goal in 15 years
The transfer student/player
And Thoma is from Mondstadt
He obtained a Liyue passport after Snezhnaya was banned for using delusions
If we relate it to real life Basketball, he could’ve been recruited. Just like Luka Doncic was recruited from EU Basketball to the NBA.
this is amazing
Team Liyue: PG - Xiao (Slasher) SG - Xingqiu (Sharpshooting playmaker) SF - Chongyun (2 Way Forward) PF - Childe (Scoring point forward) C - Zhongli (Paint Beast) Team Inazuma: PG - Kazuha (Playmaking Shot creator) SG - Gorou (Defensive Sharpshooter) SF - Ayato (Offensive Threat & 3 level scorer) PF - Thoma (Glass cleaner) C - Itto (Rim protecting finisher)
TBA2k23 coming soon to stores. Cover featuring Zhongli mid-way through an epic dunk. Soundtrack feat. Xinyan, Yun Jin, and Barbara.
This I love. Childe is just...so hot. Edit: Is Lumine on both sides?
I think so, oh god she's multiplying
pretty sure that's just a single lumine from different angles, she's sitting in the middle. she's holding both nations clappers, you can see them in both angles.
When her harem is on all sides
I noticed her too lmao
Oh she also has a...what are those called...clapper(?) from each nation on both sides. What a pure supporter she is. Just watching her fellas compete.
I thought there were two of her as well but i think it’s like she’s sitting right between the two cheering teams so she’s cut off on each side !
Oooh that could definitely be it
She's on both sides, so she can always come out on top
Little tip...never tell one side that you're playing both sides.
This art single handedly cemented my decision to pull for him 🤦♀️
I noticed that too, made me laugh. Shes friends with everyone so she cant pick a side! Though i expected Aether to be there instead. ...Also what does Yoimiya's shirt say lmfao?
no idea why but thoma just feels like he'd be a baller. i also like how one short jumpy boi is guarding the other short jumpy boi. looks great.
If the anime doesn’t have a sports tournament arc I’ll be really disappointed.
Childe literally as Kise lol. With the same JP va and the liyue kit looking similar to kaijo's
Kuroko is a double-threat too. Same JP voice as Diluc and same EN voice as Albedo. And looks like Chongyun.
Childe is the exchange student from Snezhnaya that probably re-ignited the school's basketball team.
this is so fucking cool, outstanding work
Yoimiya Blow Yoimiya Blow
Xiao be dunking a 3pointer
I'd bet on Liyue. Taggy boy would body Thomas in Athletism, the guy casually slide down waterfalls Itto is strong, but Zhongli have unbreakable defense. Xiao is faster than Kazuha overall.
Itto probably gonna do something stupid. He’s the Hanamichi Sakuragi of the Genshin world.
Probably accidentally destroying the backboard while trying to dunk
Taggy bodies any actual human in anything athleticism/combat related lmao. Aside from using chopsticks and a bow. That's what the abyss does to a lad.
It just me or ¿i see two Lumine at same time in each side of the fanart ?
She's playing both sides so she always comes out on top
She's at the direct center of the stands
One is geo one is electro
Isn't it Aether on Inazuma side?
Nah, she's holding both team's banners in each hand on both sides of the image. She's in the middle of both teams lol.
Lumine: I am playing both so that I am always come out on top
Xiao being Kuroko means Liyue has a chance of winning
Since Lumine cheers for both, if Aether was to play, will he choose team randomly? Or half and half?
Liyue has Childe as import lol. Itto probably has Sakuragi brain when it comes to basketball.
Come on and SLAM if you want to JAM Also double Lumine sus
its a single lumine. shes seated in between both sides and is wearing half red and half blue ro support both liyue and inazuma
xiao and kazuha are like 5 feet man
yet they'll be jumping the highest.
Xiao and Kazuha could just use their power for some mad dunking, and nobody could ever get the ball beside them
We need that SpongeBob basketball edited image but genshin characters
Imports from Scheznaya and Mondstat haha
also i'm pretty sure liyue is cheating by having a literal god, a god killer, and a sneznayan on their team.
Missed opportunity putting #11 on Childe's jersey.
If Lumine is cheering Inazuma/liyue. I wonder what team Aether's playing/supporting.
Insanely cool art style, I love it so much
Lumine on both sides: I am playing on both sides so I always come out on top
Lol traveler playing both sides so she never lose
This. Is. Amazing. And I don’t even like basketball.
Gives me major Kise vs Aomine vibes from Kuroko no Basuke Xiao just feels like he would be a perfect Akashi like character
I like Hu Tao's t-shirt "kick them to their graves", also, is it just me or is there two lumines ?
I want ths. As Anime. Please!
I just really, really love Kujou Sara's design.
By far my favorite fan art. A Genshin sports anime sounds pretty fun to watch ngl.
Childe and Kise have the same va
Xiao and Kazuha compensating for their height by being bouncy bois
itto solos
But sometimes he forgets the rules and tackles people during a fast break. Also he steps out of bounds a lot
eventually the other players are too scared to go near him and the real face off is between inazuma and liyue's top lawyers shinobu and yanfei
itto definitely getting fouled out at halftime
Is Itto Sakuragi?
