Black Basketball: A false start

Chapter 141 My turn
"Kise, Kaneki Ken will definitely play today. Although I don't want to admit it, you and him still have a long way to go." Kasamatsu Yukio said to Kise Ryota while looking at the people from Shonan Junior High School who were warming up in the field, "But we at Kaijo High School, from top to bottom, always think that you are no worse than him, you just need to learn more."

"Yes, Captain..." Ryouta Kise had mixed feelings in his heart and said in a low voice while looking at Kaneki Ken's figure.

"Watch Kaneki Ken carefully, watch his every move, every choice he makes on the field, try your best to understand him, and work three times harder than him to become him!" Kasamatsu Yukio looked at Kise Ryota expectantly, "Finally, stand in front of him and surpass him!"

"Yes!" Huang Lai Ryota looked at the well-intentioned Kasamatsu Yukio and responded, then silently lowered his head, with crystals flashing in his eyes, "I won't let you down! Captain!"

"Shua~", "Shua~", "Shua~"

"Ah..." Kenji Fujima always felt something was wrong when he looked at Kaneki Ken who was doing warm-up shooting training, but he couldn't find where the weirdness came from.

"What's wrong, Fujima?" Nan Lie looked at Fujima Kenji and asked curiously.

"Ah, nothing, I just feel it's a little strange..." Fujima Kenji smiled and shook his head and said vaguely.

"Strange?" Nan Lie looked at the field in confusion after hearing what Fujima Kenji said, "What's strange about it?"

"Maybe I was seeing things..." Fujima Kenji muttered, then retracted his gaze and waited for the game to begin.

"Players from both teams, please note that the warm-up time is about to end. Please be prepared." At the workbench nearby, a staff member glanced at the timer next to him and reminded them.

The players of both teams ended their warm-up and returned to the bench. The starting players made final preparations before going on the court, and the substitutes put on jackets to keep warm.

Kaneki Ken sat on the bench, untied his shoelaces, tied them tightly, stomped his feet a few times, and stood up after confirming that they were correct. He looked at the people standing in front of him and said, "Let's go, get ready!"

"Yes!" The players of Xiangbei High School roared and followed Kaneki Ken to the sidelines, waiting for the staff's notification to enter the field.

"Go, Sendoh!" At Poseidon High School, Maki Shinichi tied up his jersey, checked his shoelaces, and shouted loudly.

"Oh, I see." Sendoh Akira said as he stood up and slowly tucked his jersey into his shorts. Then he tightened his belt and followed Maki Shinichi to the sidelines.

When the leaders of the two teams, Shinichi Maki and Ken Kaneki, looked at each other, the atmosphere became a little solemn.

"Relax, Maki." Kaneki Ken looked at Maki Shinichi's serious expression and said teasingly, "Today I am just here to complete my teaching mission, defeating you is just a convenience."

"Teaching tasks?" Mu Shenyi was confused when he heard the referee's whistle.

"Beep beep~ Players from both teams, please enter the field and line up to salute!"

"Let's go, Maki." Sendoh Akira pushed the stunned Maki Shinichi, "Don't be influenced by Kaneki Ken. No matter what his purpose is, we just need to play our own game well."

"Yeah." After reacting, Maki Shinichi no longer hesitated and led the team into the field, standing in line facing Shonan.

"Please give me some advice!"

"Please give me some advice!"

After the players from both teams bowed to each other as required, Shigehiro Kabaji and Toru Hanagata came to the center line to prepare for the jump ball.

"So tall..." Hanagata Toru swallowed his saliva as he looked at Kabaji Shigehiro, who was half a head taller than him, and said, "This guy..."

……

"This guy has exactly the same oppressive feeling as Adun..." There was no game at Yangquan Middle School today. Masako Araki specially organized the players to watch Kaneki Ken's game. When Shigehiro Kabata appeared on the stage, a familiar feeling emerged in the hearts of everyone at Yangquan Middle School in front of the screen.

"This guy is just average!" Murasakibara Atsushi said unconvinced, "He's far inferior to me!"

"Do you know him, Atsushi?" Himuro Tatsuya asked, looking at the noisy Murasakibara Atsushi.

"Kawachi Shigehiro, he played against me in the finals when we were in the second year of junior high school." Murasakibara Atsushi pouted, "It was a bit tricky, but I managed to deal with him in the end."

"What do you mean by 'settled'?" Araki Masako asked tentatively. As a novice coach, she didn't have a full understanding of the talented players from all over the country, except for the Generation of Miracles.

"Hmm..." Murasakibara Atsushi said after thinking carefully, "I remember getting twice his data!"

"What's your data?" Liu Wei asked curiously.

"More than 50 points, about 30 rebounds, he blocked three of my blocks, and I blocked six of his blocks, that's it." Murasakibara Atsushi said casually.

... "What? You said this guy was able to fight Murasakibara Atsushi 40-60 in junior high school?" Kasamatsu Yukio stared at Kise Ryota with his eyes wide open. "Why didn't you say that earlier?"

"You didn't ask earlier, Captain Kasamatsu..." Kise Ryota continued a little aggrieved, "Like Komurasakibara, both are centers with outstanding athletic ability, height and strength, but if Komurasakibara gets serious, it's probably 30-70..."

“That’s terrifying too…” Fujima Kenji smacked his lips, looking at Maki Shinichi with a gloating look, “We’ll talk about the rest later. Now it’s Maki’s turn to have a headache…”

"Beep~" Amid the noisy discussions on the sidelines, the referee blew the whistle and threw the ball high into the air.

"Damn... this guy's jumping speed is so fast... he's almost no different from Murasakibara Atsushi!" Hanagata Toru gritted his teeth and thought to himself as he looked at Kabaji Shigehiro who jumped at the same time as him but touched the ball earlier than him.

"Well done! Kabachi!" The moment the ball was touched by Shigehiro Kabachi, Sakuragi Hanamichi ran towards the front court without even looking at where the ball landed.

"This guy... is so fast!" Maki Shinichi's pupils shrank slightly, and he rushed towards the basketball, "We can't let Shonan get the ball!"

"You have a quick reaction, worthy of being the one who can defeat Kise." Kaneki Ken smiled slightly at Maki Shinichi who was rushing over, "But no matter how fast you are, you can't be as fast as the ball!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kaneki Ken took a half step back with his right leg, slightly bent his right hand fingers, exerted force with his right arm, and hit the basketball hard with his right palm. The basketball turned into a red light and flew past Maki Shinichi's ear.

"Haha, good pass, Jin Shanshan!" Looking at the flying basketball, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who had just run into the penalty area, jumped up, caught the basketball steadily with his left hand at the highest point, and using the momentum of the fall, slammed the ball into the basket with a bang.

Less than five seconds into the game, the Poseidon High School basket was breached.

"Oooooohhhh!! Good shot, redhead!"

"That pass just now was amazing! How did it come out? I couldn't see it clearly!"

On the sidelines, Kaneki Ken's fans burst into huge cheers, marveling at the pass and slam dunk just now.

"What was that just now..." Huang Lailiang's eyes widened, he was very familiar with this pass, "It was Kuroko's accelerated pass!"

Kaneki Ken glanced at the audience and pointed at Kise Ryouta, his eyes full of teasing.

"Damn, after two and a half years, this guy is still so arrogant!" Before Kise Ryota could say anything, Kasamatsu Yukio, who was sitting next to Kise Ryota, spoke up somewhat unhappily.

"I'm not bragging..." Kise Ryouta said with a complicated expression as he looked at Kaneki Ken standing opposite Maki Shinichi, "Kaneki is using this game to tell me how to use my talent..."

"That was a good shot just now." Maki Shinichi said as he looked at Kaneki Ken in front of him, "I didn't expect that your passing skills are also top-notch."

"Don't forget that I am the record holder for consecutive triple-doubles in junior high school, Amu-senpai." Kaneki Ken said with a smile, "Instead of praising my passing, you should think about how to deal with me."

"Haha, you still have that arrogant personality." Mu Shen's eyes flashed, and endless whirlpools appeared in the depths of his pupils. "Do I even need to think about this? I've been waiting for a day for too long!"

Maki Shinichi's body crouched slightly, like a spring ready to go. His eyes became sharper, revealing an indescribable determination.

"Come on!" Maki Shinichi roared and shouted silently in his heart, rushing towards Kaneki Ken like an arrow.

As the words fell, the aura of Maki Shinichi's body was like dark clouds in the sky pouring down towards Kaneki Ken. With a creaking sound, the friction between the sneakers and the floor was heard, and Maki Shinichi turned into a brown light and was about to break through Kaneki Ken's defense line.

"Yeah, yeah~" Kaneki Ken took a half step back. His two-meter height allowed him to easily block Maki Shinichi's breakthrough route. "Do you think this can get you past me, Maki-senpai?"

"I can't get rid of you, I've known this for a long time." Maki Shinichi's eyes suddenly became unusually bright, and his right hand shook violently, and the basketball flew like a flash of lightning towards Kamiso Ichiro who was standing at a 45-degree angle on the right.

"It's useless, I saw everything..." Just at the moment the basketball slipped out of his hands, Kaneki Ken stretched out his long arms and was about to steal the ball.

"It's really a headache. Is the intensity so high right at the start?" Just when Kaneki Ken's fingers were about to touch the basketball, Sendoh Akira took the lead and pressed the ball down hard. The basketball bounced off the floor into Takasa Kazuma's hands. At this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi was attracted by Maki Shinichi's breakthrough and stood a little outside.

"Good opportunity!" Gao Sha Yima, who caught the ball, rejoiced secretly and jumped up.

"Pour it in, Senior Takasa!" On the bench of Poseidon High School, Kiyota Nobunaga clenched his fists and shouted loudly.

"It's useless. This ball won't go in." Kaneki Ken stared at Sendoh Akira with interest, without even looking inside. "You are quite interesting, Sendoh. Apart from my old teammates, you are the first one to jump out of the data prediction in the game."

"Don't even think about scoring! Fake gorilla!" Just as Kaneki Ken said, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was originally standing on the outside, burned from the wing to the inside like a flame, and in front of Takasa Kazuma's horrified eyes, he came from behind and pressed hard on the basketball with a big hand. Takasa Kazuma only felt a huge force coming from his hand, and the whole person fell backwards uncontrollably.

"I'm not Kise." Kaneki Ken smiled and looked at Sendoh Akira who was pursing his lips nervously, "Your script is invalid. Now it's my turn."
