Black Basketball: A false start

Chapter 239: Substitute Literature (Two chapters in one)

"Round 132 of the Winter Cup National Tournament, Shonan High School vs. Aiwa Academy, 87:, Shonan High School wins!"

"Thanks for the advice!"

"Thanks for the advice!"

As the referee finished speaking, players from both sides bowed in greeting.

"Let's go, Atsushi." Himuro Tatsuya looked at the two teams of players dispersing on the field, stood up and said, "The next game will be our match against Kaneki Ken."

"I know." Murasakihara Atsushi snorted, staring intently at Kaneki Ken who was walking towards the player's tunnel, and muttered to himself, "Ken, I've waited for this day... for too long!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Yan-kun~"

As soon as Kaneki Ken returned to the locker room, Momoi Satsuki handed him a towel and sports drink.

"Thank you." Kaneki Ken nodded slightly, took the towel and sports drink, and suddenly seemed to remember something, looked at Tao Jing Satsuki and asked, "How was the fourth round in the West Division?"

"Akagi-san has successfully defeated Poseidon High School. Now we just have to wait for the result of the match between Tetsu-kun and Xiao Huang to determine the final four." Taoi Satsuki flipped through her notebook and replied, "The match will be next Friday."

"Next Friday?" Kaneki Ken hesitated for a moment and then smiled at Momoi Satsuki and said, "Let's go and see the match between Kise and Kuroko."

"Okay." Tao Jing Satsuki's smile became brighter after hearing Kaneki Ken's invitation. She looked at Kaneki Ken with blinking eyes and asked, "Ken-kun, is this considered a date?"

"What the hell is going on?" Kaneki Ken muttered, avoiding Momoi Satsuki's gaze, "Are you going or not? If not, forget it."

"Of course I went~" Taoi Satsuki said with a smile.

……

"Although only one autumn has passed, the dominance of the Generation of Miracles has been fully demonstrated..." Aida Yako muttered to herself while looking at her phone, "Five of the eight teams in the national competition quarterfinals are from the Generation of Miracles, and the remaining two teams were eliminated in the Miracle Civil War... The top four teams that have already competed are all from the Generation of Miracles..."

"Speaking of which, the last match of the Miracle Generation in the quarter-finals is between Kise Ryota of Kaijo High School and Seirin High School, right?" Nakamura asked on the way.

"Yes..." Aida Miko said with emotion, "Before the Eastern and Western Conference Finals, this is the last miraculous civil war..."

"Kagami-san?" Nakamura took over the conversation, "He is indeed amazing. He was able to defeat Aomine-san..."

"Yeah," Aida Yako rolled her eyes at Nakamura Michiru, staring out the window with lifeless eyes, and whispered to herself, "But facing Kaijo High School led by Kise Ryouta, Seirin High School's chances of winning are probably still slim..."

……

In the Seirin High School basketball team, Hinata Junpei was leading the basketball team players in analyzing the game video of Kise Ryota.

"Hiss... Isn't Kise Ryouta's growth rate too terrifying?" Hinata Junpei took a breath of cold air, "He looks like a slightly shorter Kaneki Ken!"

"Kise Ryouta really has to thank you for what he has today, Kuroko-san..." Katsume Ichiro smiled bitterly, patted Kuroko Tetsuya on the shoulder and teased.

"In fact, this is exactly what I want." Kagami Taiga, who had just finished extra training, wiped his sweat with a towel, stared into the eyes of Kise Ryouta in the projection with a face full of fighting spirit and said, "It's fun to defeat the strongest opponent!"

"You don't care about our life or death at all..." said Daisuke Minghai helplessly, shaking his head.

"Alright, alright~" Kiyoshi Teppei stood up at this time, looked at his teammates with a smile and said, "The game hasn't even started yet, how can we talk about winning or losing? What we should consider now is how to deal with Kise Ryouta."

As he said that, Muji Teppei turned his head and looked at Aida Reiko and smiled: "Reiko, this depends on you."

"It's impossible to restrict Ryouta Kise now." Reiko Aida bit her fingers nervously, frowned, stared at Ryouta Kise on the screen and said.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't say such demoralizing words right away..." Muji Tieping felt helpless.

"However, according to my observation, Kise Ryouta's current physical condition should be very bad." Aida Reiko said firmly, "The talents of the Generation of Miracles put a lot of pressure on the body, not to mention that after entering the zone, they use perfect imitations so wantonly..."

"What you mean?" Hinata Junpei asked thoughtfully, "Is it possible that Kise Ryouta will not use his full strength when facing us?"

"That's not the case..." Aida Reiko shook her head. "What I mean is that the time he can perform at full strength won't be too long... at most ten minutes. According to Coach Takeuchi's personality, he will definitely let Kise Ryota perform at the most crucial moment. As long as we can create enough points difference before that, it will be enough to make up for the gap caused by Kise Ryota's full-strength burst."

"Don't say it as if it's easy to deal with the normal Kise Ryouta..." Hinata Junpei smacked his lips, a gleam flashed in his eyes behind his glasses, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "How much difference is enough?"

"25 points." Aida Reiko said confidently, "Based on the points they can get in every round, as long as we build up a big enough score difference and drag on the game, even if they can score every goal within ten minutes and we can only score one goal after three, we can definitely drag Kaichang High School to death!"

……

"The above is the whole process of Seirin High School eliminating Toou High School. This game will determine whether we can successfully advance to the semi-finals."

In the Kaijo High School basketball team, Takeuchi Genta slapped the projection screen vigorously, stared at Huang Lai Ryota and said in a deep voice: "In the first quarter, I will let you play at your best. I want you to completely kill them in the first quarter!"

"Sounding like this makes me excited all of a sudden..." Huang Lai Liangtai tightened his coat, his eyes full of anticipation and eagerness, "This battle of revenge has been dragging on for a long time..."

"Don't be too happy too soon, Kise." Takeuchi Genta ignored Kise Ryota's eager expression and said, "No matter what the result of the first quarter is, this is your full playing time in this game."

"Hey, coach, what's going on?" Kise Ryouta complained like a joke, "How can you let your ace only play for ten minutes?"

"Stop it, Huang Lai, this is for your health." Kasamatsu Yukio said seriously, "You consumed too much energy in the previous match with Haizaki Shougo..."

"Oh, okay, okay, I understand~" Huang Lailiangta shrugged helplessly, his eyes became particularly sharp, "One quarter, one quarter to take care of Seirin High School!"

"Please, Kise, this time... I'm not kidding." Kasamatsu Yukio patted Kise Ryouta's shoulder heavily, with a hint of advice in his eyes.

"Don't worry, captain. There's no joking on the field." Kise Ryota felt the force coming from his shoulder and gently patted Kasamatsu Yukio's hand and said.

……

"Yan-kun~ It's time to go~"

A week passed by like a flash, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day for the match between Seirin High School and Kaijo High School. Taoi Satsuki came to Kaneki Ken's house early in the morning and shouted.

"I'm here." Kaneki Ken, who was washing up, leaned out, gestured with his hand, and quickly finished washing up. Then he went downstairs, came to Momoi Satsuki, took her hand, and walked towards the subway station.

"Should we send a text message to Xiao Huang and tell him that we are going to watch his game?" Taoi Satsuki asked, looking at Kaneki Ken's profile.

"No need, I've already told Huang Lai." Kaneki Ken looked at Momoi Satsuki with a smile, raised the ticket in his hand and said, "How do you think I got the ticket?"

"Okay." Tao Jing Satsuki curled her lips indifferently, put away her phone, played with Kaneki Ken's palm and asked curiously, "Who do you think will win this game, Ken-kun?"

"I don't know..." Kaneki Ken shook his head and said, "The speed at which they are improving... has far exceeded my imagination..."

……

"Not bad, Big Me, your progress is far beyond my imagination~"

In an outdoor court outside the Osaka Gymnasium, Alex Garcia looked at Kagami Taiga under the basket with a playful look in his eyes and said, "You can master the shooting star dunk in such a short time. You are more talented than Chen Ye~"

"Thanks for the compliment..." Kagami clapped his hands, looked at Alex Garcia helplessly and said, "Of course, it would be better if you don't forcefully kiss my coach next time you call me out..."

"What do you mean by forced kiss? I just thought that girl was so cute, so I offered my passion~" Alex Garcia blushed, waved her hand, and changed the subject, "Anyway, you passed the pre-match test, hurry up and enter the venue, your teammates are still waiting for you~"

"Um..." Kagami Daigo scratched his cheek a little embarrassedly, and after struggling for a while, he asked, "Do you think... after learning this move, do I have a chance to defeat Kaneki Ken?"

"...We have to fight one match at a time. Let's win this one first." Alex Garcia pursed his lips and said after organizing his words again and again, "I can only say that if you can defeat the current Kise Ryota, you have hope."

After hearing this, Kagami patted his cheek and said to himself in a self-encouragement: "Just wait and see, Alex, I will definitely win this game!"

"Yeah, come on~" Alex Garcia waved his hand lightly and said, "Go back quickly~"

"Okay, I'm leaving!" Kagami Daigo picked up his coat and backpack and walked into the field without looking back.

"Single-celled organisms are so easy to deceive..." Alex Garcia said with emotion as he looked at Kagami Taiga's back, "Although I don't want to attack you, but if you want to defeat Kaneki Ken... I'm afraid it's still 20,000 years too early..."

……

"Hey, you're back, Kagami." Hinata Junpei said to Kagami Taiga who hurried into the locker room, "It's time to play. Pack up and get ready to warm up with us."

"Yeah." Kagami Daigo nodded, sat on the chair, and began to change into sports equipment.

"Mr. Kagami, what did your master want you to do?" Kuroko Tetsuya asked curiously.

"It's just a pop quiz..." Kagami Daiga said with a smile as he tied his shoelaces. "Anyway, I feel great today!"

……

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!"

As players from both teams filed in from the player tunnel on the sidelines, the enthusiasm of the audience reached its peak and they broke out into deafening cheers.

"The gold content of the Miracle Civil War is really high~" Nakamura said with emotion, "Every time I broadcast a game of this level, I have to wear earplugs..."

"I'm afraid the audience isn't just cheering for the game..." The sharp-eyed Aida Yako spotted Kaneki Ken sitting in the front row of the audience, "It's really rare, Kaneki-san came to watch Kise-san's game..."

"Oh, yes~" Nakamura said with interest, "Is this Kaneki's first time watching the game of the other Generation of Miracles?"

"Everyone is looking at you, Ken-kun." Taoi Satsuki smiled and looked at Kaneki Ken's profile and said, "I wonder if Xiao Huang will blame you for stealing his limelight~"

"Why should I care about him so much..." Kaneki Ken rolled his eyes and said.

"I didn't expect Kaneki Ken would actually come to watch your game..." Kasamatsu Yukio held the basketball and looked at Kise Ryota with a complicated expression and said, "Then you must not lose this game..."

"We can't lose even if he doesn't come." Kise Ryota shook his head and said, "I made an appointment with Kaneki to meet in the finals~"

"Kaneki-kun..." Kuroko Tetsuya looked at Kaneki Ken on the sidelines in a daze, and couldn't help but recall the days when he practiced extra lessons with Kaneki Ken.

"What's wrong with you, Kuroko?" Kagami Daigo looked at the God of War Kuroko Tetsuya with some confusion and asked.

"Nothing..." Kuroko Tetsuya shook his head vaguely, "I just suddenly felt that... we can't lose this game no matter what."

"Haha, what nonsense are you talking about? Of course." Kagami Taiga clenched his fists, stretched his neck, looked at Kise Ryota opposite him with high spirits and said, "No matter who the opponent is, even if it's Kaneki Ken himself, we can't lose!"

"Warm-up time is about to end. Players not involved in the match are requested to leave the field immediately."

As the reminder sounded above the court, Kasamatsu Yukio suddenly kicked Kise Ryouta's butt and said, "It's been so long since we last met, shouldn't you say hello to each other properly?"

"That's right." Kise Ryota chuckled, took the pass from Kasamatsu Yukio, and ran towards the three-point line.

"Hey, Seirin~ This is our ace, saying hello to you!" The attention of everyone at Seirin High School who were warming up was attracted by the voice of Tetsuya Naito.

"What are you saying hello to? What on earth do these guys from Kaijo High School want to do?" Hinata Junpei frowned and looked towards the Kaijo High School half.

"What does Xiao Huang want to do?" Taoi Satsuki looked at Huang Lai Ryota who was accelerating, and suddenly a feeling of déjà vu came over her.

"It's nothing more than a trick to establish prestige before the game..." Kaneki Ken looked at Kise Ryota's actions helplessly, shook his head and complained, "What a bunch of childish ghosts..."

Kise Ryota came to the three-point line and threw the ball heavily towards the backboard. Then he accelerated and jumped up one step inside the free throw line. He turned around in the air to catch the ball and glided towards the basket. There was a loud bang, and the basketball stand made a teeth-grinding groaning sound. The basketball was slammed into the basket by Kise Ryota. "Isn't this the dunk that you made when you were playing against Xiaolu?" Taoi Satsuki raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Can you imitate this? It seems that Xiaolu is very capable now~"

"Hey, are you dead?" Hyuga Junpei hit Kagami Daigo on the head with the ball in dissatisfaction, "If someone provokes you, you should fight back!"

"Oh oh..." Kagami Taiga nodded belatedly, then strode to the three-point line, accelerated his run-up, and jumped up from the free throw line.

"Here it comes~" Hinata Junpei threw the ball high into the air with excitement.

"Good pass, captain~" The Vulcan God Daigo in the air caught the basketball with a big laugh, changed hands behind his back while gliding, and finally slammed the ball into the basket.

"Haha~" Kise Ryota looked at Kagami Daiga's unyielding expression and suddenly laughed happily, "That's great, the message that each other wanted to convey was fully conveyed..."

"Although it's inappropriate... but I always feel that it's a bit good..." Masako Araki sat in the audience and said to Himuro Tatsuya next to her, "Kuroko Tetsuya was discovered by Kaneki Ryota, and when Kise Ryota first joined the Teikou Army, it was Kuroko Tetsuya who coached him... These guys from Age of Miracles... aren't they really playing some new kind of stand-in literature?"

"Just tell me that you should read less nonsense books, Masako-chan..." Murasakibara Atsushi complained helplessly, "No matter if they are black or yellow, they will not treat the competition with such a ridiculous attitude..."

"Okay, okay, I'm just talking..." Araki Masako curled her lips helplessly, looked at the field intently and said, "Stop talking, the referee has entered the field, the game should start soon."

As the referee walked to the center line with the basketball, the players from both teams lined up.

"Players from both teams, line up and salute!" The referee looked at the players of both teams and said.

"Please give me some advice!"

"Please give me some advice!"

Kise Ryouta and Kagami Taiga bowed slightly, and when their eyes met, sparks seemed to fly where their gazes met.

As the ceremony ended, Daisuke Narumi and Tetsuya Naito also came to the center line and started the jump ball.

"Beep beep~"

With a whistle, Daisuke Narumi and Tetsuya Naito jumped up. Naito Tetsuya, who had the advantage in height, touched the basketball first and won the ball for Kaijo High School.

“Damn it…” Narumi Daisuke glanced at the basketball and shouted angrily with an unwilling look on his face, “Go back to defense!”

The players of Seirin High School reacted faster than he shouted. The moment the jump ball failed, everyone quickly retreated to the backcourt, staring at Kise Ryota, fearing that he would launch a fast break from behind.

"As expected of a team that can beat Aomine Daiki..." Araki Masako said with a hint of admiration, "From the enthusiasm of retreating to the tactical arrangements, everything was very quick..."

"I've considered everything..." Aida Reiko looked at Kise Ryota standing there motionless, and suddenly felt uneasy, "But where does this feeling of disharmony come from..."

"You retreated so quickly... You really are worthy of being Kuroko's teammate..." Kise Ryota chuckled and took a step back slightly, put his right hand in his arms, bent his legs, and twisted his waist slowly.

"What does he want to do?" Kagami-sama, I looked at Kise Ryota in disbelief, as if I had a premonition of what he was going to do next, and suddenly turned to look at Narumi Daisuke and Kiyoshi Teppei and shouted, "Daisuke, Kiyoshi-senpai! Watch out inside!"

"Not bad, not bad, very perceptive... but it's useless!"

I saw that Kise Ryouta's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and his right arm swung out like a spring that was compressed to the extreme. His right hand hit the bottom of the basketball heavily with the force of the rotation of his waist. The basketball instantly turned into a red light and flew towards the penalty area, brushing against Kagami Daigo's temples.

"Is this true?" Kagami Daiga's eyes widened as he muttered in disbelief, "Is this Kuroko's... accelerated pass? "

"Good pass, Kise!" After receiving the ball, Tetsuya Naito in the inside roared excitedly, slammed the ball heavily to the ground, then grabbed the basketball with both hands and jumped up.

"Go to hell, you stinky bald guy!" Daisuke Minghai gritted his teeth, jumped up to meet Tetsuya Naito, and lashed at the basketball with his long arms like a whip.

"Haven't you eaten?" Naito Tetsuya smiled sarcastically, ignoring Daisuke Narumi's defense, and slammed the ball into the basket.

"Damn! This guy is so strong... He clearly touched the ball..." Daisuke Minghai felt a huge force coming from the ball, and his center of gravity suddenly lost balance, and he fell backwards involuntarily.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Naito Tetsuya knocked Ming Hai Daisuke away in the air and slammed the ball into the basket with both hands.

“Damn it, he can even imitate Kuroko’s moves?…” Kagami Taiga gritted his teeth and looked at Kise Ryota, “The current Kise Ryota… is no different from Kaneki Ken!”

"I know what you're thinking..." Kise Ryota stared into Kagami Daiga's eyes and said, "But I want to tell you that your plan has miscalculated. Use whatever skills you have, otherwise, your game will end here."

"What..." Kagami Daiga listened to Kise Ryouta's face full of fighting spirit, and turned his head to look at Aida Reiko on the bench with a puzzled look, as if asking, "Is this what you meant by not using your full strength at the beginning?"

"It's just a pass." Hyuga Junpei saw what Kagami Taiga was thinking at a glance, came up to him, patted his shoulder and said, "The most urgent thing now is to make a good attack next time!"

"...Yes!" Kagami Daiga gritted his teeth and nodded, then reached out to Narumi Daisuke to pass the ball over the baseline.

"That goal just now was really impressive..." Tao Jing Satsuki held her chin with her left hand and looked at the field with interest. "But it really surprised me that Xiao Huang could imitate Zhejun's style..."

"What's so strange about this? It's just a visual trick. I sometimes use it..." Kaneki Ken shrugged. "Now we should focus on Seirin... If Seirin thinks that Kise won't use his full strength at the beginning, they will suffer a great loss."

"Come on, little Vulcan."

As Kagami Taiga dribbled the ball across half court, Kise Ryota appeared in front of him like a flash of golden lightning.

"Damn it, this guy's aura is getting stronger and stronger..." Kagami Taiga leaned against Kise Ryota with his back, constantly comparing him with Kise Ryota during the practice match in his mind, and finally said to himself helplessly, "It's completely different from the first time we met..."

"Oh, thank you for the compliment." Huang Lailiangta laughed, "But don't think that I will show mercy just because you praise me~"

"Bullshit!" Kagami Daigo growled, gritted his teeth and leaned back hard, then after creating a small space, he immediately turned around and blew the ball, trying to get rid of Kise Ryouta's defense.

"It's over!" Yi Yuejun said excitedly on the bench.

"No, not yet!" Ebina Jia said solemnly.

"You're too naive, Kagami..." Kise Ryouta had a carefree smile on his face, "Your thoughts are just as easy to guess as Sakuragi..."

"What?" Kagami Daiwo's eyes narrowed, and the empty feeling in his hands made his heart tremble.

"Thank you for the pass, Kagami." After completing the steal, Kise Ryota chuckled and teased, then immediately took control of the ball and launched a fast break.

"This level is definitely not just imitation..." Kagami Daiga, who was returning to defense, looked at the back of Kise Ryota in front of him, and a drop of cold sweat could not help but flow down from his temples, "This speed is not weaker than Aomine Daiki himself!"

"How is it possible?" Kiyoshi Teppei behind him was even more shocked, "There's clearly no zone presence, so why can't Kagami catch up with Kise Ryouta who's running with the ball?"

"I'll take this first point first, Kagami-chan!" Kise Ryota chuckled, and in the struggling eyes of Kagami Daigo, he jumped up one step inside the free throw line.

"How could I let you score a goal!" Kagami Daiga gritted his teeth and jumped up immediately after him, throwing himself towards Kise Ryouta in the air.

"Idiot, don't commit a foul!" Reiko Aida on the sidelines saw what Kise Ryota was planning, and quickly stood up and yelled, but it was too late.

"You are still as naive as before, little Kagami~" Kise Ryota, who was knocked away in the air, chuckled and slowly stretched his right hand holding the basketball behind him.

"This is..." Kagami Daigo looked at the familiar scene in front of him, and the figure of Qingfeng Daihui appeared in his mind again.

"Whoosh~"

As Kise Ryouta gently hooked his right hand upwards, the basketball drew a high arc with a sound of breaking through the air and slowly flew towards the basket from behind the two of them.

"Shh!"

"Beep beep~"

As the basketball entered the net, the referee blew his whistle.

"White number 10, defensive foul, blue number 7, the ball counts, one free throw!" The referee's cold voice rang out from the sidelines, echoing in the silent stadium.

“Oh oh oh oh oh!!”

"Kise! Kise! Kise!"

As the referee's words fell, the audience on the sidelines finally broke free from silence and couldn't help but let out a deafening cheer. Kise Ryouta's name also kept ringing on the sidelines.

"Ever since the first time I lost to you, I have never underestimated you..." The knocked-down Kise Ryota slowly stood up, like a crouching lion entering hunting state.

"Kise...you bastard..." Kagami Daiga clenched his fists, looked at Kise Ryouta with an unwilling look and growled.

"Do you really think I'll play some shogi game with you guys like little Akashi did?" Kise Ryota turned around, looked at Kagami Daigo with icy eyes, and said in a cold voice, "I won't make such a low-level mistake because of arrogance again. I must win, and I want to completely crush you from the beginning!"

"Gulu..."

Daisuke Narumi, who was standing by, felt the oppression coming from Ryota Kise and swallowed involuntarily.

"Then give it a try, Huang Lai." At this moment, Kuroko Tetsuya stood up. He stepped forward, stood in front of Kagami Daigo, looked at Huang Lai Ryota and said, "Compared to the determination to win, we at Seirin High School will never lose to anyone!"

"How cruel..." said Imakichi Shoichi, who was sitting on the sidelines, with a smile, "The guy who saved Kise Ryota's high school basketball career has now become Kise Ryota's biggest opponent in advancing..."

"See, Aomine! Kise Ryota can already use your moves easily!" Wakamatsu Kosuke took the opportunity to point at Kise Ryota and teach Aomine Daiki a lesson, "If you don't train well, even Kise Ryota won't be able to beat you!"

"Tsk, what bullshit are you talking about?" Aomine Daiki pouted unhappily and said, "Kise wants to beat me, unless I break a leg!"

"Free throw!" As the crowd on the sidelines exchanged their thoughts, the referee threw the ball to Kise Ryota who was standing on the free throw line. With a swish, the basketball was steadily shot into the basket.

"Starting at 5:0..." Aida Reiko gritted her teeth as she stared at the timer on the sidelines, muttering to herself with a struggling look on her face, "If this continues... forget about building a lead... we might be the ones who can't catch up..."

"Of course I know what you're thinking." Takeuchi Genta looked at the situation on the field and said softly, "There are too many uncertainties in chasing points, so we must take the initiative in our own hands from the beginning!"

As Takeuchi Genta finished his words, Kise Ryota on the field once again intercepted the pass from Kuroko Tetsuya to Kagami Daiga.

"Damn it, get back to defense!" The suppressed Kagami Daigo was furious and quickly turned around to run towards the backcourt, but as he was running, a light laugh suddenly came from behind him, which made the hairs on his body stand up.

"not good!"

As if he remembered something, Kagami Daigo stopped in his tracks with a squeak and turned to look at Kise Ryota, only to see that Kise Ryota had already gathered the ball and was aiming at the basket of Seirin High School, preparing to jump.

"I reminded you to be serious..." Kise Ryouta's voice was very soft, as if he was talking to Kagami Daiga, or as if he was talking to himself.

“Damn it… Damn it… Damn it, damn it, damn it!” Kagami Daigo cursed angrily and rushed towards Kise Ryouta.

"Kuroko..." Kise Ryouta's bright eyes seemed to not see Kagami Daiga, staring at Kuroko Tetsuya and muttering to himself, "This goal went in, so I can be compared with Kaneki in your heart, right?"

"Don't even think about scoring a goal!"

"Whoosh!"

In the end, Kagami Daiga was still a step too slow. Before the block came, Kise Ryota gently flicked the ball away. The basketball brushed against Kagami Daiga's palm and drew a perfect arc, and fell accurately into the basket in the stunned eyes of everyone in Seirin.

"I am a writer, and this is substitute literature." Masako Araki patted the guardrail of the audience seats and said with certainty.
