Black Basketball: A false start

Chapter 243 Are we going to lose again?

"Run, run, run!"

While the match between Seirin High School and Kaijo High School was in full swing, in the Shonan High School gym, Mitsui Hisashi was leading the players in daily training.

"These newcomers are becoming more and more reliable..." Inoue Ayako stood beside Mitsui Shou and looked at the field with a gratified look on her face and said, "Even if Kaneki goes to the United States, we are sure that we can remain competitive."

"Yeah... America, I can't even think about it, but Kaneki is almost successful..." Mitsui Shou said with emotion, "It's our honor to have played with Kaneki!"

"Didi dididi~~"

Just as Mitsui Hisashi was communicating with Inoue Ayako, the stopwatch in Mitsui Hisashi's hand suddenly rang.

“Beep~~”

Mitsui Shou stopped the stopwatch, blew the whistle, and shouted loudly: "OK! Today's training is over!"

"Uh ah...it's finally over..."

"I'm so tired, I want to lie down~"

As the whistle sounded, the players on the field groaned continuously. Except for Sakuragi Hanamichi and Kabaji Shigehiro, there was no player standing in the entire stadium - Rukawa Kaede was no exception.

"Huh..." Sakuragi Hanamichi wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned to look at Mitsui Shou and asked, "Xiao San, how was the match between the red-haired monkey and the little golden flash going?"

"The situation doesn't look good. Kise Ryouta went all out in the first quarter, and Seirin High School is trailing by more than 20 points." Mitsui Shou said as he took out his cell phone. "Although Kise Ryouta was eliminated in the first program, the score difference should be at least points now..."

As Mitsui Shou was speaking, as the game was refreshed on the mobile phone page, Mitsui Beast suddenly fell silent.

"What's wrong? Xiaosan?" Sakuragi Hanamichi walked to Mitsui Shou with some curiosity, looked at the phone screen and asked, "Why are you suddenly silent..."

As Sakuragi Hanamichi saw the score on the screen, he was somewhat shocked and fell silent. After a long while, Mitsui Shou slowly spoke: "No way? This is... only 12 points left? What happened on the court?"

"Team Kasamatsu, what happened on the court just now? Why do you suddenly seem to be unable to play basketball?"

As the score difference was narrowed to 12 points, Takeuchi Genta finally could not sit still anymore. He decisively called a timeout and asked the players to come off the court to ask questions.

"I don't know..." Kasamatsu Yukio struggled as he took a sip of the sports drink. He then organized his words and slowly said, "We felt that the field... was filled with Kuroko Tetsuya's presence..."

"There are little black people everywhere?" Huang Lailiangta listened to Kasamatsu Yukio's story, and suddenly his mind rang with the conversation between him and Aomine Daiki after he lost the game. "Can you tell me more details?"

"He passed one Kuroko Tetsuya, and then another Kuroko Tetsuya appeared in front of him. But when he played according to Kuroko Tetsuya's style, the opponent would become another player, maybe Kagami Taiga, or maybe Katsuragi Ichiro..." Kasamatsu Yukio angrily smashed the drink bottle to the ground and said, "Damn it, it's hell!"

"Yeah, it's not just the captain, we all feel the same way on the court..." Matsuyama Yutaka said through gritted teeth, "Sometimes when I shoot, I feel like the basket has turned into Kuroko Tetsuya..."

"Shooting... the basket has become like a black dot?" When Kise Ryota heard Matsuyama Yutaka's complaint, he suddenly felt a flash of inspiration in his mind. He quickly turned his head to look at Matsuyama Yutaka and asked, "But Matsuyama-senpai, you still made a shot, didn't you?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Matsuyama Yutaka asked with a puzzled look on his face, "After all, I was once the starting shooting guard of Kaijo High School, so it's normal for me to score a few goals..."

"No, Matsuyama-senpai..." Huang Lai Ryota waved his hands and tried to explain, "If you can shoot the ball, it means you can see the basket! Why doesn't the basket turn into a black dot at that time?"

"Because I looked down at the basketball at that time..." Matsuyama Yutaka just opened his mouth, and suddenly seemed to remember something, looked at Huang Lai Ryota uncertainly and asked, "You mean..."

"Right!" Huang Lai Liangta nodded firmly and said, "Misdirection is, after all, magic, not ninjutsu. It's just an illusion caused by visual induction. Although we are not sure how Xiao Kuroko uses visual induction to become a skill that is almost like an illusion, as long as we keep our eyes on the basketball, we will definitely not be disturbed by Xiao Kuroko's skills!"

"Well done, Kuroko!" At Seirin High School, Aida Reiko excitedly patted Kuroko Tetsuya on the shoulder and said, "Just keep playing like this! The game depends on you!"

"No." To Aida Reiko's surprise, Kuroko Tetsuya shook his head and said, "I am just a shadow, and I can never replace the role of light... If we want to win this game, it still depends on Kagami's performance..."

"Yeah..." Aida Reiko stared at what Kuroko Tetsuo said, her tone a little disappointed, "If only Kagami could enter the zone like he did when he fought Aomine before..."

"Kagami-san..." Kuroko Tetsuya looked at Kagami Daigo silently, his eyes full of eager anticipation.

"Huh..." At this moment, Kagami Taiga only felt the silence around him, and his originally anxious mood also calmed down. For some reason, Kagami Taiga suddenly remembered the situation when he first met Kuroko Tetsuya.

"My abilities are indeed not suitable for fighting alone..."

"You will be killed instantly when facing the Generation of Miracles now..."

"I am the shadow, you are the light. The stronger you are, the stronger I will be. I am willing to help you become the number one in Japan..."

"Tsk, seriously, am I the light? Aomine Daiki is right, I am really a dim light." Kagami Daiga laughed at himself, "If Aomine was here now, we wouldn't be so far behind, right? What the hell is that trigger that Kuroko told me about... If only I could enter the zone now... No, no, this is distracting thoughts..."

"What is the Kagami talking about?" Izuki Shun, who was standing by, quietly approached Hinata Junpei and asked.

"I don't know." Hinata Junpei raised his neck and drank a sip of water, then shook his head with sweat all over his forehead and said, "Kagami will solve his own problems himself. I believe in him..."

"But we are now..." Yi Yuejun looked at the scoreboard on the sidelines with a complicated expression, then looked at his nearly exhausted teammates, and said in a serious tone, "We are still more than ten points behind, and Hinata, your physical strength..."

"My physical fitness is not a problem." Hinata Junpei said decisively, "I have come this far. Even if I die, I will die on the court!"

"Buzz~"

As time passed, the buzzer on the sidelines sounded, and the game suspension time ended.

"Here we go!" "Come on, No. 11!"

"The Phantom Sixth Man!"

The spectators on the sidelines watched the players returning to the court, their tone filled with excitement that could not be concealed, and they were generous in praising Kuroko Tetsuya who had just launched a wave of offensive frenzy.

"Everyone seems to think highly of Seirin..." Konyoshi Tomo said softly after glancing around the audience seats in the stadium.

"It's getting worse, isn't it?" Aomine Daiki's eyes were filled with regret. "Even the spectators on the sidelines noticed that Kuroko was different. Can we really expect Kise and the others not to notice?"

"That's not necessarily true." Wakamatsu Kosuke glanced at Aomine Daiki with disdain and said, "After all, you didn't notice it, did you?"

“Wakamatsu Kosuke, are you looking for trouble?” Aomine Daiki, who had been repeatedly criticized by Wakamatsu Kosuke, finally couldn’t help it and pointed at Wakamatsu Kosuke’s nose and cursed, “If you don’t accept it, go out and find a court to challenge you. If I don’t beat the shit out of you, you’ve shit cleanly today!”

"Alright, alright, stop making trouble. There are so many people watching. Don't embarrass Emperor Tong." Yuan Zekede also stood up at this time and said with a cold face to the two people who were arguing with each other.

"team leader!"

Under the close watch of the spectators on the sidelines, Kasamatsu Yukio slowly dribbled the ball across half the court, and Kuroko Tetsuya stood in front of Kasamatsu Yukio as he did in previous games.

"You're amazing, Kuroko." Kasamatsu Yukio looked at Kuroko Tetsuya with a complicated tone and said, "At the beginning, Huang Lai insisted on getting you to join, and I didn't take it too seriously... But I didn't expect you to actually go this far..."

"Thank you, but it wasn't me who came to this point, it was Seirin who came to this point." Kuroko Tetsuya said in a firm tone.

"Haha, yes, it was Seirin who came to this point." Kasamatsu Yukio, who was refuted, did not get angry but laughed instead. In the shocked eyes of Kuroko Tetsuya, he slowly closed his eyes.

"What?" Kuroko Tetsuya was shaking with surprise as he looked at Kasamatsu Yukio in front of him. For some reason, a strong sense of loss suddenly surged into his heart. This strong sense of loss prompted him to grit his teeth and rush forward, trying to steal the basketball from Kasamatsu Yukio's hands.

"It's useless, Kuroko." Although Kasamatsu Yukio closed his eyes, he seemed to be aware of every move of the outside world. He stepped forward before Kuroko Tetsuya came up and easily passed Kuroko Tetsuya's defense.

"Don't even think about going over there!" At this moment, Ichiro Katsume suddenly appeared on the path of Yukio Kasamatsu's breakthrough, with his long arms stretched out, intending to disrupt Yukio Kasamatsu's dribbling rhythm.

"It's you, Ichiro." Kasamatsu Yukio's words made Katsume Ichiro pause.

"How is it possible? Shouldn't he be..." Katsume Ichiro's eyelids twitched slightly, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

"I should have thought you were Kuroko Tetsuya's, right?" Kasamatsu Yukio said with a chuckle, "I'm really sorry, but my ace has seen through your little tricks!"

boom!
Kasamatsu Yukio's whisper was like thunder bombarding the hearts of the players of Seirin High School, and Kasamatsu Yukio took advantage of the moment when the players of Seirin High School were stunned, and in a disguised way he passed Katsume Ichiro again and went straight into the restricted area under the basket.

"This ball... is the one that decides the outcome!" Aomine Daiki looked at the field with a serious expression, "If we can't defend this ball, Seirin High School will be finished!"

"Come on, Captain!"

"Go in, Captain!"

"Ah, don't worry, I will definitely score this goal!" Kasamatsu Yukio listened to the cheers and shouts from his teammates behind him, looked at the basket with determination in his eyes, and rushed to the basket with both hands for the ball without hesitation.

"Kagami-san, stop him!"

Kuroko Tetsuya looked at Kasamatsu Yukio's back and shouted helplessly to Kagami Daiga in the right corner.

"Here it comes!" Kagami Daiga gritted his teeth and rushed into the inside. After Kasamatsu Yukio jumped, he leaped up and fanned the basketball in Kasamatsu Yukio's hand with his palm like a cattail leaf fan.

"That's incredible, Kagami..." Facing Kagami Taiga's defense, Kasamatsu Yukio looked even more relaxed, "I really envy talents like you and Kise. If I had your talent, maybe we wouldn't have been eliminated in the first game last year, right?"

"What is he talking about..." Kagami Daiga looked at Kasamatsu Yukio's relaxed expression and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart - and this premonition soon turned into reality.

"Maybe I really can't defeat you guys from the Miracle Generation..." Kasamatsu Yukio's tone gradually became a little determined, "But, I'm a point guard! What I have to do is lead Kaijo High School to defeat Seirin High School!"

"Not good!" Kagami Daiga looked at Kasamatsu Yukio who was taking back the basketball in the air, and waved his left hand desperately in the direction of Kasamatsu Yukio's pass, but the empty feeling told him that his desperate steal was not successful.

"Well done, Captain!"

There was an excited roar coming from the bottom corner - it was Matsuyama Yutaka's voice. In Kagami Taiga's desperate eyes, Matsuyama Yutaka's movements seemed to enter bullet time, slowly collecting the ball, bending his knees, aiming, and jumping.

"Seirin High School is finished..." Aomine Daiki closed his eyes with some regret, as if he couldn't bear to see his friend lose the game.

"It's so far... He's still outside the three-point line, can I still catch up with him?" Kagami Daigo muttered to himself, and it seemed as if two little men who looked exactly like him suddenly appeared in front of him and were arguing with him.

"Give up, it's only the first year. Once Kaneki Ken leaves, there will be plenty of opportunities..." said the little man with horns on his head and a tail behind him.

"How can we give up here? Catch up! Even if it's a foul, we have to do something! If we don't do something, we're going to lose!" The little man with a pair of white wings behind him retorted.

"We're going to lose..."

"It's settled..."

The villain's words echoed in the mind of the Fire God Daigo as if they were echoing in the wilderness. The Fire God Daigo's expression became extremely struggling at this moment - am I going to lose again?
Sorry, I got off work a little late today, so this one is a little short. I have to get up early tomorrow, so I won’t update it in the evening. I will update you a two-in-one tomorrow.
