Black Basketball: A false start

Chapter 151 The Struggle of the Weak
Standing on the court, Hayakawa Mitsuo was a little nervous at the moment. It was the first time for Hayakawa Mitsuo to play in front of tens of thousands of spectators.

He couldn't remember how many times he had looked at Yukio Kasamatsu who was confronting Shuji Izawa at the top of the arc. At this moment, the only thing in his mind was the scene when Yukio Kasamatsu had a private conversation with him before he went on the court.

"Hayakawa, do you know what you are going to do after you go on the court?" Kasamatsu Yukio asked Hayakawa Mitsuo with his hands folded across his chest, looking at him with a stern but encouraging look.

"I know, captain." Hayakawa Mitsuo stood at attention nervously and answered loudly, "I want to go on the court to grab the rebound!"

"Well said, you have to go on the court to grab rebounds, which is very important for us." Kasamatsu Yukio put one hand on Hayakawa Mitsui's shoulder and pointed his other finger at Kise Ryota and said earnestly, "Our ace still needs time to grow. Before that, Naito will go out to assist Kise in completing the defense. This means that there will be a vacancy in the interior for a period of time, and I need you to hold up the interior during this time. Our offensive success rate is definitely not as good as Shonan's, but if you can grab an offensive rebound, we will have one more offensive opportunity than Shonan, and they will also have one less opportunity to launch a fast break. In other words, as long as you can grab an offensive rebound, we will get 4 more points than the opponent. We are only eight points behind them at the moment. As long as you can grab two rebounds, we can tie the score; if you can grab more offensive rebounds, we can overtake the score. It can be said that you are the most critical factor in whether our Kaichang can win the game."

"Captain..." When Mitsuo Hayakawa heard that his responsibility was so heavy, he felt a little overwhelmed for a moment, and even his speech became a little stuttering.

"I know you're facing the miracle-level power forward Sakuragi Hanamichi, so it's inevitable to be a little nervous." Kasamatsu Yukio smiled and patted Hayakawa Mitsuo on the cheek and continued, "But I never thought that the Miracle Generation was invincible. Didn't I also conduct 1-on-1 special training with Kise when he first joined the team? They are nothing special. I don't care who that red-haired monkey on the opposite side is, I only know that you, Hayakawa Mitsuo, are our Kaijo's rebounding king! I think I can entrust the basket to you! Tell me, second-year Hayakawa Mitsuo, am I right?"

"Yes, Captain!" Hayakawa Mitsunari stood at attention again, "I will definitely do it. Even if I die, I will die on the way to grab a rebound!"

"I'd rather die on the way to a rebound!" In the originally silent and depressing court, Mitsuo Hayakawa suddenly slapped his face hard and shouted loudly.

The sudden shout attracted everyone's attention. Both the players on the field and the spectators off the field turned their eyes to Mitsuo Hayakawa.

……

"Your substitutes are very motivated." Izawa Shuji looked at Kasamatsu Yukio in front of him and said with a playful expression, "Come to think of it, you guys are really risking everything. Your trump card has been blocked by Captain Kaneki, and you dare to replace Fujima. Do you think you can solve all the problems by holding the ball alone? Don't forget that all your data habits and development direction have been seen clearly by us."

"Ah, it is indeed a bold choice." Takeuchi Genta looked solemnly at Kasamatsu Yukio who was looking for an opportunity to break the deadlock, and explained to Fujima Kenji beside him, "But I believe in Kasamatsu, he will never raise the white flag and surrender just because of a piece of frivolous data report!"

"We at Kaijo High School will never give up the fight just because of a piece of superficial data report!" As if it was a telepathic connection between master and disciple, Kasamatsu Yukio yelled at Izawa Shuji.

"This guy...his aura has changed!" Izawa Shuji was surprised at first, then a satisfied smile appeared on his face, "Very good, this kind of game is interesting!"

"The fun is yet to come!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kasamatsu Yukio passed the ball to his left hand with a crotch kick, then lowered his center of gravity to an unprecedented low, and rushed out as if in a long jump.

"It's useless! We know all this clearly!" Izawa Shuji adjusted his pace and easily blocked Kasamatsu Yukio's breakthrough route.

"Oh? What about this move?" Kasamatsu Yukio used all his strength to stop his steps, then he threw the ball with his left hand and made a huge turn to the right.

"After breaking through, turn around and shoot, we also..." Just as Izawa Shuji was about to continue to block Kasamatsu Yukio's next move according to the information given in the intelligence, a tall figure blocked him.

"It's you?" After seeing the person's appearance, Izawa Shuji's face turned extremely ugly, "Sugimoto, you traitor!"

……

"Nice try." In the audience, Akashi Seijuro watched the pick-and-roll cooperation between Kasamatsu Yukio and Sugimoto Daichi and said with interest, "According to the progress of junior high school graduation, Taoi's prediction can only be limited to one-on-one offense. It is indeed impossible to accurately predict the coordination between team tactics."

Akashi Seijuro paused, looked at Rukawa Kaede who rushed over from Kasamatsu Yukio to reinforce defense with a bit of disinterest and said: "Unfortunately, when it comes to intelligence analysis, Kaneki has always done it himself."

... "Don't even think about scoring!" Just as Yukio Kasamatsu used a pick-and-roll to get rid of Shuji Izawa and was preparing to shoot, Rukawa Kaede appeared near Yukio Kasamatsu in advance as if he had expected it, raised his long arms and was about to fan the basketball.

"I guessed it too." Kasamatsu Yukio looked at Rukawa with a smile, and his shooting action also speeded up a bit, as if he didn't even notice that his shooting action had been completely deformed.

"The rhythm of this shot is completely gone, there's no way it's going to go in!" Rukawa looked at the basket with certainty, and sure enough, the basketball hit the neck of the rim and bounced out.

"I leave it to you, Sugimoto, Hayakawa! Rebound!" Kasamatsu Yukio roared.

……

"Get down... lower your center of gravity... use all your strength to push a guy who can jump out of the penalty area... if necessary, you can grab his clothes where the referee isn't paying attention..."

Perhaps it was the two slaps in the face that made Hayakawa Mitsuo no longer nervous, or perhaps it was Kasamatsu Yukio's instructions that made him feel that he had a great responsibility. At this moment, Hayakawa Mitsuo was no longer thinking about 2 points or 4 points. What flashed through his mind were all the skills of positioning and grabbing rebounds that his seniors taught him in his freshman year.

"Damn... this guy..." Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at Hayakawa Mitsuo in surprise. Under Hayakawa Mitsuo's desperate resistance, Sakuragi Hanamichi rarely failed to seize the advantageous position to grab the rebound.

"rebound……"

"rebound……"

"rebound……"

In the eyes of Hayakawa Mitsuo, time seemed to be particularly long. He clearly saw Sugimoto Daichi desperately pushing Kabashi Shigehiro, and the expression on his face that he wanted to jump on Kabashi Shigehiro and hang on him; he clearly saw everyone looking at the slowly rising basketball; he clearly saw Kasamatsu Yukio's nervous and expectant expression.

"Hayakawa, do you know what you are going to do on the court?"

"I know, captain." Hayakawa Mitsuo seemed to have just woken up, his wide-open eyes were filled with an indomitable spirit, and his originally hoarse and low voice became clear and loud, "I came to the court just to grab rebounds! I am the rebounding king of Kaijo High School, Hayakawa Mitsuo!!!"

As the words fell, Hayakawa Mitsuo suddenly leaned back, and the huge force made Sakuragi Hanamichi unable to help but take a half step back.

"Uh ahhhhhhhhhh!!!" Hayakawa Mitsui yelled, and with the force of the confrontation, he soared into the sky and actually touched the basketball before Sakuragi Hanamichi.

"It's not enough! It's not enough!! It's not enough!!!" At this moment, Mitsuo Hayakawa could no longer hear any sound. He just kept hoping that he could jump higher and higher.

"boom!"

With a crisp sound from the basket, the basketball bounced out of the rim and was forcibly pushed back into the basket by Hayakawa Mitsuo. The whole stadium fell into a dead silence, and the entire stadium was shocked by this unexpected goal.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!" In the dead silence, Mitsuo Hayakawa bent his arms and shouted loudly in celebration as if no one was around.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!" Hayakawa Mitsuru's passionate cheers once again awakened the spectators on the sidelines. The deafening cheers were like thunder, as if they were going to overturn the dome of the entire stadium.

"This is interesting." Kaneki Ken looked at the people from Kaijo High School who were cheering and celebrating under the basket, raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his head and shouted loudly to Kise Ryota, "Hey, Kise, aren't you the Generation of Miracles? Aren't you the trump card of Kaijo? How long are you going to hide behind the struggles of these weaklings?"
